ModivCare Inc (MODV) 2011 Q4 法說會逐字稿

Good day, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the fourth-quarter 2011 Providence Service Corporation earnings conference call. My name is Ann and I will be your coordinator for today's call. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded for replay purposes. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. (Operator Instructions). We will be facilitating a question-and-answer session following the presentation. I would now like to turn the presentation over to Alison Ziegler from Cameron Associates. Please proceed.

Thanks, Ann. Good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us this morning for Providence's conference call and webcast to discuss financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.

I would now like to turn the call over to Fletcher McCusker, Chairman and CEO. Go ahead, Fletcher.

Alison, thank you and good morning to everyone from Arizona. I am actually in Phoenix this morning. Michael Deitch, our CFO, and Craig Norris, our Chief Operating Officer, are in the corporate office in Tucson and also joining us on today's call is Herman Schwarz, the CEO of LogistiCare. So if we all sound like we are in different places, it is because we are.

2011 was certainly one of the most remarkable years in our Company's 15-year history. Medicaid has become one of the most talked about and partisan issues of our time. Enrollment continues to grow and is on track to grow by yet another third in 2013. The United States Supreme Court recently remanded the California case in joining the Governor's proposed 10% rate cuts back to the Ninth Circuit with dictum from the majority supporting judicial review in favor of providers that sue any state that attempts to make arbitrary cuts to Medicaid. It was a landmark case that we watched for a couple of years.

Five new states have outsourced nonemergency transportation. We won outright in four of those bids and we will split the fifth, Texas, taking the Dallas region and one of our competitors winning the Houston contract. Furthermore, we won eight of nine incumbent NET contracts losing only Denver, a small $6 million contract. Two NET states that our competitors took away from us last year imploded under competitive watch and we were asked literally to rush back into these states and have recently reengaged in Missouri and Connecticut as a result of this activity.

All of this represents positive drivers for our business, but not without a short-term cost. The competitive threats last year to our NET business have cost us about 250 basis points of margin as we renewed these contracts at reduced rates. However, we believe there is a silver lining. Our recent dialogue with states indicates that our competitors' well-publicized failures and unrealistic pricing to win bids have made states now extremely wary of bargain pricing and hollow promises.

LogistiCare has further established itself as the optimum solution in the NET business and now has a great deal of credibility. There is still an awful lot of NET business that will be put out to bid in the future and we believe we are now better positioned than ever before to be the recipient of this business, which will save states millions of dollars when they are struggling with budget issues. What that has produced for us is remarkably stable and growing revenue, but flat earnings due to lost margin in the short term. I will let Michael share with you the year-end results. Michael?

Yes, thanks, Fletcher. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $244.3 million, up from almost $219.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, an 11.4% increase. For the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of last year, home and community-based revenue increased by 10.8%. Cost of care revenue was virtually flat quarter-over-quarter. Management fees decreased 23.4% due to Providence acquiring a previously managed entity during 2011. Transportation services revenue grew 13.4%.

For the 2011 calendar year, revenue totaled almost $943 million, up 7.2% from almost $879.7 million in 2010. For the year of 2011, home and community-based revenue grew 7.45%. Foster care revenue declined 3.8%, primarily due to a decrease in foster care enrollment in Arizona. Management fees decreased 7%, transportation services grew 8.1%.

Our fourth-quarter 2011 operating income totaled almost $7.1 million, or 2.9% of revenue. Last year, our 2010 fourth-quarter operating income totaled $11.2 million and 5.1% of revenue. For the 2011 year, operating income was $36.6 million or 3.9% of revenue. For the 2010 year, operating income was $57.3 million or 6.5% of revenue.

For the fourth quarter of 2011, net income totaled almost $3 million, which was 1.2% of revenue and translates into $0.22 per diluted share. For the 2011 year, net income totaled $16.9 million, which was 1.8% of revenue and resulted in $1.27 per diluted share. 2011 year included a $2.7 million gain on a bargain purchase retrospectively recorded in Q2 relating to the acquisition previously referenced.

For the analysts modeling our business for the 2012 year, we expect general and administrative expense to be between 5% and 5.5%, consistent with historical amounts. And we expect an effective income tax rate of 42.5%.

At the end of our fourth quarter, our accounts receivable days sales outstanding was 34 days. During 2011, we generated approximately $31 million in cash provided by operations. At the end of our fourth quarter, we had approximately $43 million in cash and had approximately $150.5 million in total debt outstanding, down from approximately $182.3 million a year ago. With that, I will turn the call over to Craig Norris.

Thank you, Michael. For the quarter, our direct client census on the social service side was approximately 61,000 clients. This is an increase from prior-year quarter of roughly 2800 clients. We also had over 11 million individuals eligible to receive services under our LogistiCare division. This is an increase of over 2 million eligible members compared to the same quarter of 2010. All direct and indirect clients are being served from 501 local offices and 42 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Combined, our owned and managed entities, there are approximately 10,500 employees serving 972 government contracts.

In the fourth quarter, the social services segment did have a few markets transition into managed care systems that did slow us down a bit as operations adapted to the changes in referrals, authorizations and eligibility functions. This is mostly a typical transition and I expect it to smooth out in the first quarter. Our business model, as well as our local leadership, continues to adapt and make necessary changes in response to state payers trying to become more efficient. I believe this will ultimately benefit us in these environments. Now I will hand off to Herman for more details on LogistiCare. Herman?

Thanks, Craig. Good morning, everyone. In late 2010, I met with the top 40 managers in LogistiCare and emphasized how critical 2011 would be for our Company as nine of our incumbent state contracts representing nearly 45% of our revenue would be rebid during that year. If you asked me at the time to handicap the results of those bids given the state budget pressures that existed at the time and the more aggressive competitive landscape we were facing, I would never have predicted the level of success we experienced. But due to the tremendous work of our operating teams and our corporate staff, we not only protected our marketshare, but we extended it by winning several new bids as well.

We finished 2011 on quite a roll by retaining our core regions in Arkansas, expanding our contract in Georgia from one to three regions and re-winning our contract in Nevada. In addition, we also were named the winner of the new contract being let on the five boroughs of New York City and finalized the contract with Texas to manage the Dallas and surrounding counties region of that state.

You will also recall that in last quarter's call I mentioned we were contesting the award of the statewide Connecticut contract to a competitor even though we had received the highest scoring in the RFP process. I am pleased to report that the protest was successful and that LogistiCare is now the broker of choice for the entire state of Connecticut.

We also spoke on that call about Missouri asking LogistiCare to reengage in the state after a competitor failed to perform. As Fletcher mentioned earlier, this was one of two states where this occurred. You might remember that in the South Carolina rebid in late 2010, we won a new region, but lost our two incumbent regions when a competitor underbid us by 25%. This implementation was delayed by the protest and contract negotiation process, but finally went live in August 2011.

Within three months, our competitor was struggling with service delivery and requested a significant rate increase from the state. The state responded by asking us to take the two regions back under our contract at the price we had proposed during the RFP process. As of February 21 of this year, we now manage the Medicaid transportation program for the entire state of South Carolina.

All of this new business means we have been incredibly busy hiring and training people to implement these contracts, most of which go live in the second quarter. In fact, since January 1, we have hired over 400 people and expanded our workforce by nearly 25%. We have people on the ground implementing programs in Connecticut, Georgia, Texas and New York City as we speak today.

Clearly, we are excited by the surge in new business and with the endorsement we have received from returning clients. The fact that they have come back at our proposed pricing validates our belief that we are delivering quality service and pricing responsibly.

That being said, we do recognize the realities of competitive bidding and the pressure that has been put on our margins for 2012. We have not been helped by the unusually warm weather so far in 2012 as our capitated contracts would normally benefit from significant trip cancellations during the winter months.

In addition, while we are not directly impacted by rising fuel prices, we do know that our margin tends to be negatively impacted during such trends as a consequence of increases in utilization and possible fuel supplements we make to keep our provider network healthy. With that, I will turn the call back over to Fletcher.

Herman, thank you very much. We are very proud of the manner in which we have navigated this last year, especially on the NET side where we have this amazing bidding success record. Even when our competitors win against us, they seem incapable of executing and significant lost business has been returned to us. Herman and his team have built a great book of business that helps endear our Company segments to Medicaid leaders. Our home-based counselors continue to earn equally high marks for tackling some of Medicaid's most difficult cases in both rural and urban America.

As a result, today, we can guide you to a $1 billion book of business for 2012, serving America's most challenged population and making a respectable profit while doing great work. Our social services margins are holding. As we have explained, our NET margin will be down as Herman is hiring up and starting up five contracts almost simultaneously.

For those people modeling our business, we would point you to approximately an 8.5% EBITDA margin in social services and a 6.5% EBITDA margin for the NET segment, producing somewhere around $1.20 to $1.25 EPS for 2012. With that, Ann, now we are ready to take questions.

(Operator Instructions). Kevin Campbell, Avondale.

Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Congratulations on a good year, particularly in the LogistiCare segment. Herman, I was hoping you could maybe give us some color on the amount of revenues that we should expect to start up this year that weren't included in the fourth quarter run rate so that we can have a better sense as to how to model that and when they start -- when they do in fact start.

That is a lot of things to go through. I can do it in a real general sense. The South Carolina -- the extra work in South Carolina is worth approximately $3.5 million a month. That started, as I indicated, at the end of February, so you can kind of put that into the revenue run rate starting March 1.

New York City is a tough one to kind of give you off the top of my head, Kevin, because it phases in by borough. So for instance, we start on May 1 with Brooklyn and we honestly -- while we have modeled something, we don't quite know exactly how that is going to flush through. So we do Brooklyn May 1. Two months later, we take on another borough; two months later, we take on another borough all the way through the end of the year. At least, this is the current prescribed schedule. And then on January 1, we are supposed to take on the entire managed care population in New York City, which is between 2.5 and 3 million people. So it is kind of hard for me to kind of throw that at you. We can get something to you.

Georgia phases in as well, those two additional regions, one is scheduled to start April 1. Each region in Georgia is worth about $15 million a year, so you can kind of use $1.25 million a month. The next one right now is scheduled to start July 1.

Texas annually is going to be in that $30 million to $35 million range for Dallas and that is scheduled to start -- I would say you could model that based off of a May 1 start. Who am I missing?

And then Connecticut, Connecticut is real swirly and we would have to kind of work through that because that is flipping from a capitated contract to an ASO model. So actually the revenue is going to go down, although the margins will be about the same in terms of percentages. We won't get -- the transportation -- at least the way they are approaching it today, the transportation will be a pass-through. So that one is going to drop from -- we are doing about $20 million a year in Connecticut in '11. It will probably drop down to about -- it is going to be a blend because that doesn't get started, so it will be about $10 million for 2012. So it is going to actually cut in half from what was in the run rate at the end of '11.

Okay, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. And the startup expenses, maybe you could give us some color as to the dollar amount maybe we should expect in first quarter, second quarter.

Yes, first quarter, we are looking at probably around $1 million of startup and again, the only revenue we are going to get is that one month of South Carolina. So at a 6.5% EBITDA margin, we kind of average -- you are looking at $300,000 or so of EBITDA out of South Carolina on $1 million of expense for the ones I talked about.

And then with New York City not starting until May, we are going to have obviously a full month in the second quarter of April of startup costs there and as well in Texas. So you're probably talking about somewhere between -- around $300,000 to $400,000, maybe even upwards of $500,000 of startup costs in the second quarter as well.

Okay. And then after that, you think that is when the startup costs go --?

Should stop. I mean we will have a little bit in Georgia when we take on that third region, but not a tremendous amount because we will be able to leverage some of the staff we have already got. The Nevada new contract starts in May, the one we just won at the end of the year and it actually just got ratified this week. So that starts May 1 and in order to start that, we do have to move the call center into Nevada, which currently those calls are taken in Phoenix. So we have got a little startup there, but it is not going to be tremendously material.

Okay, that's very helpful. Thank you. Michael, maybe on the cash flow from ops, can you give us some color as to why it was negative in the fourth quarter and what we should expect cash flow from ops to be in 2012 and your CapEx spend in 2012?

Let's take the first one first, Kevin. AR you will notice went up in Q4. The good news about that is it's primarily related to the new wins on the LogistiCare side. Missouri, Michigan, Hawaii and Florida accounted for between $6 million and $7 million of that. And you will notice our AR changes was $6.6 million, so that accounts for virtually all of it.

Okay. 2012 CapEx and cash flow from ops?

Base CapEx is about $7.1 million or $7.2 million and Herman's additional for his startup, would you say, Herman, $4 million or $5 million?

Yes, I think that's -- at least on the ones going on right now, that is what it looks like.

So the total of those two, Kevin. And then cash for '12 -- I mean we don't project our balance sheet, therefore we don't really do a cash flow projection, but I would tell you that it should be between $30 million and $40 million for the year.

Okay, and then last question on census growth in the social services segment, maybe where -- obviously, it was strong here in the fourth quarter. It was up 5%. I think it was about the comp you had for the last six or seven quarters. So maybe how should we think about that census growth continuing on the social services side in 2012? Is 5% a good number? Do you think it will get higher than that? Do you think it will come back down?

Yes, I think 5% is probably a good number. Some markets are growing, some are a little flatter. I wouldn't go more than that, Kevin.

Okay, all right. Thank you very much.

Jack Sherck, SunTrust.

Thank you very much. Just to follow through on Kevin's question, just in a more general sense, with the guidance for 1Q, what is the rough breakdown, if we are looking at a pie chart, on startup costs versus utilization -- versus the higher utilization? How much of that is for the impact?

In Q1?

Yes, yes. Just trying to get a sense of --.

I think they are trying to estimate, Herman, the impact of weather on margin.

Yes, --.

I mean is it three quarters of the -- is higher cost versus (inaudible) quarter's higher utilization or just sort of --?

No, I mean it is really a combination. I mean you can look at -- basically we are spending now on a run rate basis about $2 million a day in transportation, somewhere in that neighborhood depending on what is going on out there. And so when you think about the fact that in New Jersey, a Virginia, a Wisconsin, a Pennsylvania are some of our larger contracts now, they make up a bulk of that $2 million. When we don't get a good snow in a month like we are used to that would cancel most of those trips, except for maybe the dialysis and the real seriously ill folks that would still try to get there, we can make up a good -- or drop a good $1 million plus a month to our bottom line because of that weather. So in the first quarter, having had absolutely no snow, we are probably looking at somewhere between $1 million and $2 million in both January and February related to the weather.

Okay, so it is as much higher utilization as it is startup costs?

Yes, but I mean I want to caution. Utilization is a dangerous term because we look at utilization just kind of as a trending usage of the program a lot of times and in this case, that is not what we believe is happening out there yet. While fuel is having some impact on it, it really is a function of trip cancellations. For instance, in Jersey, last year in January, we had a 22% cancellation rate. We only budget for around 19% this year and it came in at 16% in January. That is worth $400,000 right there.

Right.

So it is really -- so when we talk about utilization, yes, it is a utilization measure, but it is not the way we normally look at utilization. It is really a function of just not getting the cancellations we expect.

Okay, I follow you there. And then I know you don't have any rebids coming up in 2012, but what does the picture look like for '13?

The only state contracts that are scheduled to be put out there -- we said no state capitated contracts in 2012. Michigan, which is a small ASO contract around the three counties around Detroit, could expire at the end of this year. It could also get extended and the state is trying to decide what they want to do. That is an ASO. They have been talking about going capitated and maybe going full state, so we don't really look at that in the same way. Oklahoma is the only major capitated program that is scheduled to rebid in 2013.

Okay. And then just refresh my memory, overall LogistiCare, what percentage of contracts are capitated? What percentage of revenue?

In the 70% range.

Okay. And then have any of your providers started a conversation or initiated in terms of giving them some sort of supplements for higher fuel prices yet?

Well, it is kind of a running joke that our providers have those conversations nonstop and are always asking for increases. So certainly, we are hearing it, but we haven't done anything yet and there are no plans to do anything yet. Gas prices right now were no higher than they were at other times last year and the year before. So at this point, we are not inclined to do anything. I mean we are not getting any increases from our clients, obviously, right now, so that comes right out of our pocket. But there is a big difference between the $3.70 to $3.90 and $5. So if gas prices really get to $5 in the summertime like the talk is, will we hear a lot more screaming and will we potentially be forced to do something in certain markets? In all likelihood yes.

Okay. And then on the 250 basis points, Fletcher, that you mentioned in profit compression you are seeing, was that an EBITDA number?

That is what we call, yes, contribution margin or EBITDA margin, Jack, at the segment level. So when you model segment revenue, you can apply about an 8.5% contribution margin to social services and now about a 6.5% to NET.

Okay. And then just my final question, on that compression that you saw, with some of these contracts going back to LogistiCare because of poor execution on behalf of new providers, do you think that is going to be a trend that will continue that should help pricing going forward or would you think that was more one-time in nature?

We were prepared to walk from a couple of states that had seized the moment, if you will, during these very competitive times. As Missouri and South Carolina kind of fell apart, we had less pressure to reduce our rates than we had in the prior months. On the average, Jack, of the eight contracts we renewed, we reduced our rate on average by 15% and we think that is over given the competitive position that we enjoy today.

Excellent. Thank you very much for answering my questions.

(Operator Instructions). Rick D'Auteuil, Columbia Management.

Good morning.

Hi, Rick. She pronounced your name correctly.

I know. I was kind of waiting for the scrambled version. Just a couple of questions related to LogistiCare. So in 2011, what were the total startup costs in 2011 related to I guess new -- re-winning Missouri, but also you had New Jersey with the rural area and if you want to count inefficiencies in New Jersey and startup costs, that is fine?

I am not sure we can do that real-time. We might have to do some work on that and get back to you. Herman, do you want to try to --?

Michael, you have the startup costs for '11, right?

I do. It is $1.448 million.

That does not include the inefficiencies in New Jersey, Rick. That would be a much bigger number.

Okay. What I am trying to get at is we are going to have startup costs this year in '12 related to the new wins. You have quantified some of those. Is the margin, the 6.5% margin including or excluding the startup costs? So is that the all-in margin or is that sort of --?

That would be an all-in margin. That is our budget including startup costs.

So theoretically that should look much better in the second half of the year or even as we exit the year, the run rate should be better on that business.

That is an intuitive comment, yes.

Okay. The 250 basis points of pressure, was that -- you just mentioned pricing is down 15%. Does that not include the startup costs then, that 250 basis points of pressure?

That is just kind of an all-in number. If you have tracked the NET margins, Rick, over time, the segments used to be relatively comparable, 8.5% to 9% and we are now budgeting 6.5%. Some portion of that would be contributed to startup costs, although that is probably the smallest piece of that. We renewed $250 million of business at a 15% rate reduction, so that is the primary component of pressure on margin.

Okay. And just general utilization rates, forget about the weather in Q1 and lack of bad weather that lowers the utilization, is it trending as expected or is it trending up? Where are utilization rates?

You have got to look at it by contract, Rick, but I mean in the majority of the contracts, it has crept up. We have experienced volume increases. We do budget for that when we sit down and do our budget. So we have a forecast in there relative to 2012 and that 6.5% looking at those utilization trends. But we are not real good at predicting the weather, and there is noise in there. So while I can look at January and the February numbers are just coming out in terms of getting all the detail behind the financials, which is the utilization, whathaveyou, I can't always separate as well as we would like to how much is weather and how much is just general utilization. We can make some assumptions based on what we know and what we experience, but I would tell you utilization is up in many of our contracts. But we also built that into the budget. So right now, I wouldn't say that we are experiencing tremendous growth in utilization above what we expected yet.

And you do -- contractually, you get rate relief at some level of utilization, right, if it is above --?

Well, we can go back and negotiate. I mean as part of these rebids, states have changed some of the structures of the contracts. In the earlier days, and under the previous contracts, a lot of the states were using the actuarial methodology, but under the DRA, a lot of them have been able to go to more of a competitive bidding process and don't have to go to an actuarial review.

When there was an actuarial review, yes, it always took into account and there was that lag. Under the competitive bidding, they can either set it up with a CPI increase, they can set it up for renegotiation, they can set it up for a fixed fee. With healthcare reform coming on, there is a lot of uncertainty around the increase in population if healthcare reform goes through. So at this point, a lot of those contracts require us having to go and sit down with our client and making a case and presenting the numbers and there is no guarantee. They are not required to give us a rate increase.

Now we are hopeful obviously that, where we have stepped back in for a competitor that tried to price too low and got into trouble, that the states recognize the fact that we are not just coming to them and asking for a rate increase for no reason, that we have got the experience and the knowledge and the data to demonstrate that it is required or they have to change the program a little bit and reduce some services if they want to maintain the cost.

Okay. Back on New Jersey, is that operating on plan now or are you still experiencing issues there?

No, it is operating on a unit cost level where we wanted to get it and targeted and it is operating -- we are generating the PMPM we thought we would, but New Jersey, being $100 million plus contract and having, like I indicated, having had no weather, we haven't been able to make that up. So the weather has impacted us, but not in any normal inefficiencies.

Okay, and you wouldn't get any relief from the weather utilization as of --.

No, that is both the risk and the reward of being in a capitated contract.

Okay. All right, I will circle back. I appreciate that. Thanks.

(Operator Instructions). Walter Winnitzki, Nicusa Capital.

Yes, good morning. I have two questions. Herman, relative to the comment you made about the EBITDA margin in the transportation business, which you said does include the startup costs, what would you estimate the ongoing operational EBITDA margin is excluding the startup costs? So that is the first question and then I will follow up with the second one.

We'd probably have to get -- I don't think we have actually done that ourselves, Walt, so --.

I think that's what people are trying to get. You are going through a period here where you have got a lot of good news relative to the contracts and people are just trying to see kind of what the earnings power of that business is once we get through this phase. So I think that would be helpful.

Well, let me at least say this. You guys, and our shareholders expect us to continue to grow and startup costs are not an unusual expense. They are part of the business and are necessary in order to continue to grow. So you could argue that if I am going to continue to win contracts year-over-year that I am going to always have startup costs and if these contracts are in the $30 million to $35 million range, the cost to bring one of those up is $0.5 million, $1 million, somewhere in that range total.

So there is going to always be startup costs built into our margins. We do price for it over time as I have tried to indicate. The timing of the startup costs relative to when we are going to start creating revenue is what causes some of the concern as a public company because we can't time it. And so we may incur those expenses in a quarter or in a year prior to when we start generating revenue, but there is not going to be -- if I stop growing then the startup costs stop, but I don't think you guys want me to do that and I know we don't want to do that.

Sure. I mean that is a high-class problem to have. I think what we are all trying to do is just kind of estimate the earnings power of your book of business at any given point in time.

I think if you interpolate some of what we said and I think we can help you off-line, you are looking at a couple million bucks of budgeted startup costs in '12. If you apply the 6.5% margin to the book of business and then add back that, that kind of gets you to a pre-startup cost margin basis and that is probably something that people on this call can back into. We haven't necessarily guided to anything like that, but I think it is -- the math is there while with a little work on maybe both of our parts we could get to that.

We didn't want to artificially -- because I think Herman is right. If we say we have startup costs this year, but we are not going to have any next year, then I think that we develop a false sense about what our margin capabilities are. So for the moment, 6.5% is probably a pretty good number.

Okay, good. Agreed. Second question has to do with the New York City win. Just to -- if you could give us a scale of size on that. Is that -- I wasn't sure if I understood if that was going to be ASO or capitated and should we just basically take the size of the contract and roll it out, divide each borough equally?

No, they are all different sizes. We are projecting the New York City contract, by the time we get all of that HMO population I mentioned that is supposed to come on at the beginning of 2013, we are estimating that to be, and it is an ASO model, in the neighborhood of $20 million to $23 million.

Okay, thank you.

Rick D'Auteuil, Columbia Management.

Another question for Herman. On new states, I know you have got your hands full short term here, but is there anything in the pipeline for the back half of the year that might help us in '13 as it relates to new states considering the service?

And I really hope that it really isn't the back end of the year because we are pretty stretched right now and the challenge is, now that we have won it all, we have got to execute, so we do need some time. There are no states that currently have an RFP out on the street, so I can't definitively say yes, but we are in conversations and have had discussions with a handful of states that we anticipate or expect that are looking at putting out RFPs. And given where we are in the year, that it's already March and there is nothing there, by the time they were to do something and get it out there, it would be no sooner than a 2013 start. So we do anticipate there will be a couple of states that will be out there for something in 2013 and obviously, we also believe that given that we are staggering some of these starts throughout 2012, Rick, that when we come out of 2012 and into 2013, those will be fully loaded into our run rate for the whole year. And that will also give us a nice pop on the top line.

The two large states too, Rick, are prototypical. Both Texas and New York see these as demonstration projects. So if they are successful, we would hope to see some substantial additional business in those two states, but again that is a warm and fuzzy conversation. There is no specifics currently regarding any buildup in that book of business.

What would be your thoughts on free cash flow use for 2012? You are sitting with a lot of cash on your balance sheet. You have offsetting debt. Is there some thought about bringing that debt down further?

Well, remember, we are obligated to get the convert down to $25 million. That was a concession we made with the new senior lenders because that terms out before they do. So we will probably continue to do that and then we are comfortable at $125 million. It is under 2X leverage for us so I would expect -- and Michael, the convert now is, what, about $50 million?

That is correct, sir.

So we will probably spend the next $25 million, Rick, on chipping that away and then we should be very comfortable with our leverage.

Okay, thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, with no further questions, this concludes today's question-and-answer session. I would now like to turn the call back to Mr. Fletcher McCusker for closing remarks.

Ann, thank you very much and great questions, everybody. If we didn't get something specific as you would like to, please follow up with either Michael or I and we hope to see you all sometime over the summer. Again, thank you very much and good day.

Ladies and gentlemen, we thank you for your participation in today's conference. This concludes the presentation and you may now disconnect. Have a good day.
