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."
