Hanger,Inc. (OTCMKTS:HNGR) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial ConditionItem 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May12, 2017, Hanger,Inc. (the “Company”) filed its Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December31, 2014 (the “2014 Form10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On January19, 2018, the Company filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form10-K for the years ended December31, 2015 and December31, 2016 (the “2016 Form10-K”). The filing of the 2016 Form10-K was delayed significantly as a result of the delay in the filing of the 2014 Form10-K, the number of accounting periods encompassed within the 2016 Form10-K, and the additional review, analysis and substantive procedures performed due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.These material weaknesses were disclosed in the 2016 Form10-K.
The Company has not yet filed financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of 2017, or the full year ended December31, 2017. The Company is currently preparing its 2017 financial statements and related financial data, and has commenced the audit process. The Company believes its prior reconstruction, reconciliation and correction of the accounting records and ledgers supporting the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the years ended 2014, 2015 and 2016, along with the clarification and documentation of its updated and revised accounting policies, will reduce the time necessary for the completion of its 2017 financial accounting and reporting processes. Nevertheless, due to the existing material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, it is necessary for the Company to prepare, review and undertake substantive testing and confirmation of its financial accounting, and these activities have resulted in an extended timetable for the completion of its 2017 financial statements. The Company intends to prepare and complete its consolidated financial statements for 2017 and file its Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December31, 2017 as expeditiously as possible, and currently believes that absent unforeseen issues or circumstances, it can do so during the second quarter of 2017.
Cash Flow Data
Due to the continuing financial statement preparation and audit activities described above, the Company is not yet able to provide preliminary balance sheet or income statement data for the financial periods for which it has not yet provided financialstatements or reports. The Company believes, however, that it has sufficient information from which to provide the following preliminary estimates of certain cash flow data for the periods set forth below.
The preliminary estimated amounts provided below are based on information currently available, which the Company believes is reasonable. However, the amounts remain subject to material change until the Company files its financial statements and reports covering the periods set forth below, and there can be no assurance that these amounts will remain as disclosed herein. Such changes, if they occur, may include re-classification of amounts between cash flow statement line items.

The “Supplemental cash flow information” provided in the table above reflects items that are inherently included as deductions within the net cash numbers provided on the “Net cash provided by operating activities” line item.
“Certain cash payments to 3rdparty professional firms” reflect amounts paid to third party professional firms in connection with the remediation of the Company’s material weaknesses and financial reporting processes, as well as legal activities incurred in connection with these activities and costs associated with the preparation and audit of the Company’s financial statements. Disclosure of these expenditures has been provided to assist in the explanation of changes in the Company’s cash flow trends between the comparative periods disclosed in the table. Cash payments differ in timing from the Company’s recognition of expenses as the Company recognizes the cost related to its independent audits in the year to which the audit work pertains. Expenses related to 3rd party professional firms were $37 million in 2016 and are currently estimated to be approximately $30 million in 2017 and $13 million in 2018. These expense amounts reflect the Company’s estimate of that portion of its professional fees that have been or are expected to be
incurred in excess of the Company’s historically incurred amounts for related accounting and auditing activities of approximately $2 million per year. As of December31, 2017, the Company estimates that it had $15 million of professional fees incurred in connection with these activities accrued but unpaid.
During 2016, net cash from operating activities benefited from the receipt of approximately $35 million in net federal income tax refunds and further benefited from favorable improvements in the collection of accounts receivable. Operating cash flow as presented above should not be considered reflective of any trend in the Company’s underlying operating results, nor should it be deemed to indicate any amount of relative underlying earnings from operations. These amounts, when viewed along with other disclosures the Company has made concerning its outstanding indebtedness and other obligations, should be used solely for the purposes of assisting in the assessment of the Company’s current sources and uses of cash, and liquidity.
Liquidity
Please refer to “Note N – Long Term Debt” in the Company’s financial statements and “Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” both provided within the 2016 Form10-K, for a discussion of the Company’s liquidity and pending financial obligations. The information provided within this Form8-K is intended to augment the disclosures and discussions provided within the 2016 Form10-K with information regarding the Company’s cash position, outstanding borrowings and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of December31, 2017.
At December31, 2017, the Company had $2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $86 million in undrawn capacity available to it through the $118 million Aggregate Revolving Commitment under its Credit Agreement. As of that date, the Company had $5 million in borrowings and $6 million in letters of credit outstanding under its Aggregate Revolving Commitment. The Company’s availability under the Aggregate Revolving Commitment was reduced by approximately $21 million to the applicable usage limitation as specified in the Credit Agreement.
