Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home-based social and medical services, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Mark Heaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare, stated: "In the second quarter, we continued to integrate our new senior management team, including our new Vice President for Home Health, who joined us in July. In addition, we are initiating a search for a Chief Sales and Marketing Officer to lead our sales team. We are of course pleased that the State of Illinois made a significant payment in the quarter."

Second Quarter Review

Total net service revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $68.3 million, a 1.6% increase compared to the prior year quarter. The acquisition of CarePro contributed approximately $3.3 million in net service revenues in the second quarter of 2011.

Second quarter 2011 net income was $1.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Net income was $1.7 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Home & Community segment net service revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $55.0 million, a 1.6% increase from the prior year quarter. Home & Community segment revenues included approximately $2.4 million from CarePro operations. Excluding locations closed in late 2010 and program eliminations in select states totaling $1.8 million in revenue, same store sales increased by $0.2 million, or approximately 0.4%. Home & Community operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $6.0 million, or 10.9% of revenue in the second quarter, compared to $5.5 million, or 10.1% of revenue, in the prior year quarter.

Home Health segment net service revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $13.2 million, a 1.7% increase over the prior year quarter, despite a reduction in Medicare revenues estimated at $0.4 million as a result of the rate cut enacted in 2011. Home Health segment revenues include approximately $0.9 million from CarePro operations. Home Health operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $0.8 million, or 6.3% of revenues, compared to $1.7 million, or 13.0% of revenues in the prior year quarter.

Cash flow from operations was $17.6 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to cash used in operations of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. This improvement reflects a significant payment received late in the second quarter from the State of Illinois. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the cash generated from operations was used to reduce the outstanding balance on the Company's line of credit and other debt.

Six Month Review

Total net service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $135.1 million, a 2.5% increase compared to the prior year period. The acquisition of CarePro contributed approximately $6.8 million in net service revenues in the first half of 2011.

Net income for the first half of 2011 was $2.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share in the same period of 2010.

Home & Community segment net service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $109.2 million, a 2.2% increase compared to the prior year period. Home & Community segment revenues included approximately $4.9 million from CarePro operations. Excluding locations closed in late 2010 and program eliminations in select states totaling $3.8 million in revenue, same store sales increased by $1.2 million, or approximately 1.1%. Home & Community operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $11.3 million, or 10.4% of revenue in the first half of 2011, compared to $11.0 million, or 10.3% of revenue, in the prior year period.

Home Health segment net service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $25.9 million, a 4.1% increase compared to the prior year period. Home Health segment revenues include approximately $1.9 million from CarePro operations. After adjusting for the Medicare rate reduction in 2011 of approximately $0.8 million, same store sales decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.3%. Home Health operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $1.5 million, or 5.9% of revenues for the first half of 2011, compared to $2.7 million, or 10.8% of revenues in the prior year period.

Cash flow from operations was $29.1 million for the first half of 2011 compared to $0.8 million in the same period in 2010 due largely to the improved payments received from the State of Illinois, combined with an overall improvement in collections from all other payors. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the cash from operations was used to reduce the outstanding balance on the Company's line of credit and other debt.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information provided in this release includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company defines as net income plus depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense 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 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.
