Addus HomeCare Announces Preliminary Third Quarter 2010 Results

Palatine, IL, October 21, 2010 - Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home-based social and medical services, announced today preliminary estimated results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Total net service revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 are estimated at $69.5 to $70.0 million, of which Home & Community segment revenues are estimated at $57.3 to $57.5 million and Home Health segment revenues are estimated at $12.2 million to $12.5 million. The acquisition of Advantage Health Systems is expected to contribute approximately $2.5 million in revenues in the third quarter.

Addus expects third quarter 2010 net income to be in the range of $1.1 to $1.5 million, or diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.11 to $0.14 per share, based on 10.7 million weighted shares outstanding. The estimated third quarter results include earnings of approximately $0.01 per share relating to the acquisition of Advantage Health Systems. The estimated third quarter diluted earnings per share is lower than Company expectations, primarily due to the Home Health segment experiencing lower starts of care in Integrated Services. In addition, the estimated third quarter results include $0.4 million in pre-tax separation costs related to the resignation of the Company’s CFO and executive recruitment costs, and $0.2 million in pre-tax class action litigation costs. The Company’s estimated third quarter results also include a $1.0 million pre-tax reduction in management bonuses.

Separately, on October 20, 2010, Ms. Sharon Rudden resigned her position as Vice President of Home Health Services of Addus HealthCare, Inc., to pursue other interests. Effective immediately, Karen Meade of Simione Consulting, will oversee the Company’s Home Health Services operations on an interim basis until a permanent replacement is hired.

Addus will report its 2010 third quarter and nine months financial results after the market close on Thursday, November 4, 2010. Management will conduct a conference call to discuss its results at 5 p.m. Eastern time on November 4, 2010. The toll-free number is (866) 314-9013 (international callers should call 617-213-8053), with the passcode: 15474536.
