May 2, 2013 at 4:47 PM EDT
First Quarter Financial Highlights
- Total net service revenues of $63.0 million.
- Net income from continuing operations of $2.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share.
- Net income of $13.3 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, includes the gain on the previously announced sale, effective March 1, 2013, of substantially all of the assets of the Home Health division for $11.1 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, and a loss on discontinued operations of $(0.5) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share.

PALATINE, Ill., May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home and community based services which are primarily social in nature and are provided in the home, focused on the dual eligible population, announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

First Quarter Review

Total net service revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013 were $63.0 million, a 7.0% increase compared to $58.9 million in the prior year quarter.  Net income from continuing operations was $2.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, a 56.3% increase when compared to our prior year quarter.  Net income, including the gain on the sale of the Home Health business and a loss from discontinued operations, was $13.3 million, or $1.23 per diluted share.  

Mark Heaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare, stated, "We feel good about our first quarter performance.  Our Home & Community business has continued to demonstrate positive growth and we are pleased with the sale and transition of our Home Health business."

Our quarter was positively impacted by a one-time $0.5 million benefit, or $0.05 per diluted share, from Workers Opportunity Tax Credits ("WOTC") earned in 2012 and realized in the first quarter of 2013 with the enactment of federal tax changes in early 2013.

Our first quarter 2012 results included the one-time gain realized on the sale of an agency for $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, having a positive effect on earnings in that period.

For comparative purposes, pro forma earnings from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2013 were $0.20 per diluted share, after excluding the $0.05 per diluted share effect of the WOTC credits, compared to $0.13 per diluted share for 2012, after excluding the $0.03 per diluted share on the agency sale.

We continue our efforts to expand our relationships with managed care plans and have established offices in Detroit, MI and San Diego, CA in anticipation of the transition of state sponsored long term care programs to managed care in these markets.  There were no revenues and minimal expenses incurred related to these office openings in the quarter.

Subsequent Events

The State of Illinois passed legislation in April 2013 to increase funding for the Illinois Department on Aging ("IDoA") for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.  This legislation is pending the governor's signature.  As part of the legislation, IDoA was required to submit a plan to improve the cost effectiveness of the program.  As a result, IDoA initiated technical changes to the method for reimbursing providers effective May 1, 2013.  We estimate that first quarter net service revenues would have been reduced by approximately $0.6 million with no corresponding reduction in the cost of service revenues, if such changes had been in effect beginning January 1, 2013. 

Given the recent increase in Addus' share price, it is likely Addus will be required to audit our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  If required, the Company will have to invest in additional staff and establish processes necessary to meet the documentation requirements and incur increased external audit fees to include an audit of our internal controls.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information provided in this release includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company defines as earnings before discontinued operations, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense.  The Company has provided, in the financial statement tables included in this press release, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is 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.
