Deal Summary
Discovery House (“Discovery”) is an LA-based drug & alcohol substance abuse continuum of care facility
founded in 2005 by Tom & McKay Whiting. Discovery is comprised of three facilities – two inpatient (42 beds)
and one outpatient (62 beds) – and offers integrated treatment for substance abuse, addiction and co-morbid
mental health issues. Inpatient services are sub-acute detox and residential treatment; outpatient services
include trauma resolution, family therapy and relapse prevention.

Five Crowns Capital Partners is working with Discovery’s owners to secure ~$12mm of financing to fund a
~$10.35mm dividend to the owners, with the remainder going to deal expenses (~$1mm) and balance sheet

Investment Thesis
The demand for behavioral health services, which was already high prior to Covid, has increased during the
pandemic and far exceeds the current capacity of behavioral health providers. Innovative use of technology
has helped improve access to providers and behavioral health services, but further efforts are needed to
address the demand/supply imbalance.

For investors, the increased demand for behavioral health services, combined with a favorable
reimbursement landscape where employers, commercial payers, and government payers are all providing
funding, creates tailwinds. Coming out of Covid, there will be opportunities for consolidation, combining
businesses and leveraging technology to build larger, more scalable businesses. Now is the time for investors
to begin thinking about and preparing for opportunities in this space.

Barriers to entry include:


• Joint Commission Accredited (held by only 18.8% of treatment centers in California);
• California accounts for the highest concentration of facilities in the U.S. (1,502 facilities in CA, or 14.2%
of the US total);
• Established medical network and a strong reputation for care that generates referrals; and
• DH focuses exclusively on treating patients with private insurance (21.0% of the market), reducing the
risk of non-payment.

DH has hired a new CEO and CFO to replace the founders and intends to spend the next 2/3 years 1) improving
the quality and readability of their financial statements, 2) maintaining high occupancy (currently above 90%
as of October 2021 and 3) gaining more in-network insurance certification, which is of particular interest by
financial buyers. With the financing at less than a 2x multiple, we believe we are well-covered and
compensated for our risk.

Business Model
• Facilities maintain high occupancy due to strong reputation, sophisticated marketing program
(emphasizes outbound email and targeted telemarketing, banners, search engine optimization) and
loyal alumni network
• Captive referral network from Inpatient to Outpatient - over ~80% of TDH inpatients enroll in DTO
outpatient services
• Growth: DTO outpatient volume can be generated from COH patients who are currently
referred to another facility
• Separated six-bed design of facilities has helped to mitigate transmission and impact of Covid-19
• Similar margins feasible with selected in-network programs via cost savings, but no plans to switch
given strength of demand

Key Milestones

Macro-Economic Environment
Over the five years to 2021, demand for substance use disorder and mental illness treatment has increased
amid growing funding and expanding eligibility requirements for public health coverage alongside high
reported rates of behavioral health problems. Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers industry
establishments, which offer long-term residential housing for individuals struggling with mental illness and
substance use disorder, provide individuals intensive, specialized treatment programs. Due to the

4|Page 5251 DTC Parkway, Suite 1050


Greenwood Village, CO 80111
CONFIDENTIAL

fragmented nature of the industry, specific treatments can vary widely establishment to establishment.
Industry revenue is expected grow as follows:

• ~$17.6bn Inpatient substance abuse and mental health market growing at ~2.2% to 2024 2
• ~$23.4bn Outpatient substance abuse and mental health market expected to grow at 5.2% to 2024 3
• California accounts for over ~14% of total U.S substance abuse market and over 10% of U.S facilities 4

The coronavirus is a barrier to enter for this industry given the current shortage of medical professionals.
New entrants will find it increasingly difficult to appoint medical professionals and begin a thriving
rehabilitation center.

Overview
The Company’s strong reputation and effective marketing reach have led to high demand for its inpatient
and outpatient programs. Revenue reached $25.8mm in 2019 (up 61% from 2017) as inpatient volume
continued to increase at TDH (mature facility) and COH (opened in March 2018, expanded to 92% of capacity).
The Company’s largest expenses are Advertising (25.0% of revenue) to support high occupancy, and Payroll
(20.5% revenue) to support strong outcomes. The Company has a contract with a third-party marketing
company that provides revenue generating leads to the it’s inpatient facility.

Risks/Mitigants
• Dividend recapitalization – the proceeds of the loan will be used for a dividend recapitalization and
therefore be cash out of the system.
o The shareholders are Tom & McKay Whiting whom are leveraging their Discovery House’s capital
structure to diversify their portfolio. Tom & McKay Whiting have been running a successful
business since 2005 and have been earning substantial income. It’s likely they have other assets
available should an equity injection be required.
• Improper reimbursements from insurance companies – in 2018 the Company’s revenue declined due to
the inefficiencies of collecting payments from payor’s (insurance companies).
o In July of 2018, the Company changed its billing process from billing and collecting from in house
to outsourcing these tasks to a third-party billing company. Soon after engaging with the billing
company, the Company experienced a significant decrease in reimbursements due to improper
billing for services it had rendered. In November of 2018, the Company terminated its agreement
with the outsourced party and engaged Nextus to prepare, process, and submit all claims. Nextus
has produced excellent results since.

• Change of Management – The Whitings will substantially be removing themselves from operations
following the closing of the transaction. The new management team (Bob Diehl, CEO, and David Tessers,
CFO) will be assuming responsibility for the business and we believe, therefore, that the risk of current
ownership “checking out” will have minimal impact.

Three-Dimensional Capital Considerations


While we are not aware of any families within the 1K1V/FLC network with a direct rehabilitation services
focus, there is certainly prominent support for services like these (Green, Belk families).

Approval Sought
We are requesting Investment Committee approval to call capital, close and fund the loan and investment as soon
as possible, likely expected to be early in November, 2021.

typically takes 6 months up to one year to obtain approvals.
