ADDUS HOMECARE ANNOUNCES EXPECTATIONS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2015
Downers Grove, Illinois (October 22, 2015) Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home and community-based services that are primarily provided in the home and focused on the dual eligible population, today announced its earnings expectations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Company plans to issue its full financial results for the third quarter on November 2, 2015, after the close of the market.
For the third quarter, Addus expects net service revenues to be approximately $84.3 million, an increase of 3.2% from $81.7 million for the third quarter of 2014. Net income per diluted share is expected to be in a range of $0.25 to $0.26 compared with $0.29 for the third quarter last year. Net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2015 includes costs of $0.01 per share related to the previously announced exit of certain underperforming locations during the third quarter and an expected benefit of $0.02 per share from a lower effective tax rate due to credits related to 2014 submissions under the Worker Opportunity Tax Credit regulation. These expectations are subject to normal quarter-end closing procedures.
The Companys financial results for the third quarter of 2015 were negatively affected by sluggish revenues at its two latest acquisitions and some of its other locations. Revenue growth reflected the ongoing slow pace of transition by states of their dual eligible populations to managed care organizations. Our gross profit margin increased to 27.9%, primarily due to the positive impact of improved workers compensation experience. General and administrative spending increased, including costs for consultants, labor, and technology related to the continuing implementation of the Companys new human resources and payroll information system (HRIS), as well as costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts. Increased spending also included other operating expenses that, in aggregate, contributed meaningfully to higher net G&A spending.
Mark Heaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare, commented, While disappointed with our results for the quarter, we remain positive about our position in the market and our ability to take advantage of the opportunities it presents. We have undertaken steps to lower our costs and to improve revenue generation, especially in any under-performing locations. We are pleased that our Illinois business met our revenue expectations for the third quarter. Our New York acquisition is on plan to close by year end, and our acquisition pipeline includes numerous opportunities for strategic expansion.
Addus is the pure-play leader in an industry with compelling dynamics related to demographics, the regulatory and reimbursement environments, opportunities for efficiency enhancing technology investments, and rising consolidation pressures. Even as we have differentiated Addus in our pursuit of organic and acquisition growth opportunities, we have maintained a strong financial position, with $14.9 million in cash at the end of the third quarter of 2015, no bank debt and $40 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. We remain confident of the Companys ability to achieve long-term profitable growth and increased stockholder value.
The preliminary results included in this press release could differ materially from the final results that will be reported on or about November 2, 2015 for the third quarter of 2015. The expected results presented in this release are preliminary, and are subject to regular closing processes that could result in significant adjustments.
