Palatine, IL, August 5, 2010 - Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home-based social and medical services, announced today its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Mark Heaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare, stated, “During the quarter, we continued to focus and execute on all of the key priorities we identified in previous quarters. These priorities are growing census, enhancing our Integrated Services model, controlling costs and improving collections. Our second quarter results reflect progress in improving our operations.

“In our Home & Community segment, which represents approximately 80% of revenues, we continued to drive census growth while controlling costs, which led to increased revenues and stable operating margins during the quarter. In our Home Health segment, second quarter Medicare admissions were up 10.5% year over year. This growth is a direct result of the investments we have made in sales and marketing over the past three quarters. While these investments negatively impacted margins in the first two quarters of 2010, we expect that improved sales productivity, coupled with continued cost containment, will result in modest operating margin improvement for Home Health in the second half of this year,” Heaney added.

“During the quarter we maintained our focus on improvements to our Integrated Services program and continue to see integrated starts of care rebound to historical levels.

“In July, we completed the acquisition of Advantage Health Systems which also does business as CarePro, a highly regarded provider of home & community, home health and hospice services in South Carolina and Georgia. This acquisition expands our footprint in the Southeast market while also further diversifying our payor mix. We expect the acquisition to be accretive to earnings by $0.02 to $0.03 per share in 2010.

“We continue to make progress in our accounts receivables collections. The centralization of all of our payors by year-end is expected to improve the effectiveness of our collections. Receiving payments from the State of Illinois remains a major priority for us, and we continue to work very closely with state officials. As of the end of the second quarter, DSOs for the State of Illinois were 159, which represents a four day improvement from March 31, 2010.

“While we continue to focus on our plan, we are very aware that states across the country are challenged and that they will be for the foreseeable future. Many of the 18 states in which we operate have enacted measures to control or even reduce the rate at which their homecare programs expand. That said, the fact remains that in-home care is the lowest cost option available to states, all of whom are experiencing increases in their aging population,” concluded Mr. Heaney.

Second Quarter Review

Total net service revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 were $67.2 million, a 3.4% increase compared to $65.0 million in the prior year quarter.

Net income for the second quarter of 2010 of $1.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, including $0.01 per share in acquisition related expenses, was based on 10.5 million diluted shares outstanding. This compares to net income after preferred stock dividends of $0.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share based on 5.2 million diluted shares outstanding in the prior year period. Net income in the second quarter of 2009 prior to preferred stock dividends was $1.9 million.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the second quarter of 2010 was $4.3 million, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year quarter. Contributing to the decrease in adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was higher Home & Community bad debt expense, costs associated with being a public company, investment in Home Health sales and marketing, and acquisition related expenses.

Home & Community segment net service revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were $54.1 million, a 3.6% increase compared to $52.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was entirely the result of organic growth. Home & Community gross margins remained solid, at 25.3% in the second quarter of 2010, consistent with the prior year quarter.

Home & Community operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $5.5 million, compared to $5.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Home Health segment net service revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were $13.0 million, a 2.5% increase compared to $12.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was entirely the result of organic growth and reflects a 10.5% increase in Medicare admissions. Home Health gross margins were 46.4% in the second quarter of 2010, compared to 47.4% in the prior year period.

Home Health operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $1.7 million, compared to $2.0 million in the prior year quarter. The decline in Home Health operating income was primarily related to lower gross profit margins from higher direct service personnel travel related costs, medical supplies and employer related benefit costs, as well as investments related to the expansion of the sales force and related sales management.

Six Month Review

Total net service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $131.8 million, a 3.9% increase compared to $126.8 million in the prior year period.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $3.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, including $0.01 per share in acquisition related expenses, was based on 10.5 million diluted shares outstanding, which included $0.01 per share in acquisition related expenses. This compares to net income after preferred stock dividends of $1.0 million, or $0.63 per diluted share based on 5.2 million diluted shares outstanding, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net income for the first six months of 2009 prior to preferred stock dividends was $3.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $8.0 million, compared to $9.5 million in the prior year period.

Home & Community segment net service revenues for the first six months of 2010 were $106.8 million, a 4.2% increase compared to $102.5 million in the prior year period. Home & Community operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $11.0 million, compared to $10.3 million in the prior year period.

Home Health segment net service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $24.9 million, a 2.6% increase compared to $24.3 million in the prior year period. Home Health operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $2.7 million, compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period.

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.
