FRISCO, Texas, Aug. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a provider of comprehensive home care services, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net service revenues were $149.7 million for the second quarter of 2019, up 14.0% from $131.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net income was $5.5 million, up 27.8% compared with $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2018, while net income per diluted share was $0.41, compared with $0.36 per diluted share for the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share grew 12.0% to $0.56 for the second quarter of 2019 from $0.50 for the second quarter of 2018.

Adjusted net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019 excludes M&A expenses of $0.04, restructuring, severance and other costs of $0.02, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.09.  Adjusted net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2018 excludes M&A expenses of $0.03, restructuring, severance and other costs of $0.04, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.07.  Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.9% to $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. (See page 8 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures in this news release.)

For the first six months of 2019, net service revenues increased 20.0% to $288.9 million from $240.7 million for the prior-year period.  Net income increased 12.8% to $10.4 million for the first six months of 2019 compared with $9.2 million for the same period in 2018, and net income per diluted share was $0.77 compared with $0.78 per diluted share.  Adjusted net income increased 31.4% to $14.4 million for the first six months of 2019 compared with $11.0 million for the prior-year period, while adjusted net income per diluted share grew 15.1% to $1.07 from $0.93.  Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.4% to $23.6 million for the first six months of 2019 from $20.1 million for the first six months of 2018.

Dirk Allison, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are proud of our solid financial and operating results for the second quarter, reflecting continued growth through the first half of 2019. Our second-quarter revenues reflected a strong increase in same-store revenue of 5.9%, exceeding our target range of 3% to 5%.  We continue to see increasing demand for our services, and these favorable trends have supported our organic growth in our current operations.  In particular, we saw a higher revenue contribution from our New York market as the state-led narrowing of the provider network has progressed."

At June 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $54.8 million and bank debt of $39.6 million, while availability under its revolving credit facility was $141.9 million.  Net cash used in operating activities was $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2019.

Acquisition of Alliance Home Health Care And Assets Of Foremost Home Care
On August 1, Addus acquired Alliance Home Health Care, LLC, and its affiliate, House Calls of New Mexico, LLC, each located in New Mexico. The companies have combined annual revenues of approximately $19.0 million, with 60% of those revenues derived from hospice care and 20% from each of personal care and home health care services.  With locations strategically placed across New Mexico, these additions will expand the Company's service area in the state and provide additional market coverage. 

Also on August 1, the Company acquired the operating assets of Foremost Home Care, Inc., a New York City-based personal care provider with annual revenues of approximately $6.0 million.  The Foremost acquisition will support the Company's growth in the important New York City market area.   

The aggregate purchase price of approximately $24.0 million for both Foremost and Alliance acquisitions was funded through a combination of the Company's revolving credit facility and available cash.

Mr. Allison added, "Our latest acquisitions are both excellent strategic fits for Addus and will further extend our market reach in their respective regions.  As previously announced, we also completed the acquisition of VIP Health Care Services, a New York City-based personal care services provider, on June 1, 2019, and the integration process is going well.  With annual revenues of approximately $50.0 million, we are excited about the added contribution from VIP as we expand coverage in one of our largest markets.  Our development team has done an outstanding job identifying acquisition opportunities that we believe will enhance our operations and continue to drive our long-term growth and importantly, we have the financial capability to execute this strategy.  Our pipeline remains robust, and, as a leading provider of comprehensive home care services, we believe we are well-positioned for continued growth. We look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead for Addus."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The information provided in this release includes adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net service revenues, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines adjusted net income per diluted share as net income per diluted share, adjusted for interest income from the State of Illinois, M&A expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructure charges, and severance and other costs. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, interest income, other non-operating income, taxes, depreciation, amortization, interest income from the State of Illinois, M&A expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructure charges, and severance and other costs. The Company defines adjusted net service revenues as net service revenues adjusted for the closure of certain sites. The Company has provided, in the financial statement tables included in this press release, a reconciliation of adjusted net income per diluted share to net income per diluted share, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and a reconciliation of adjusted net service revenues to net service revenues, in each case, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net service revenues are useful to investors, management and others in evaluating the Company's operating performance, to provide investors with insight and consistency in the Company's financial reporting and to present a basis for comparison of the Company's business operations among periods, and to facilitate comparison with the results of the Company's peers.
