Addus HomeCare Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

• 17.1% increase in revenue over prior year quarter with total net service revenues of $77.0 million

• Net income of $2.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share

• Acquisition of Aid & Assist in Tennessee positions Addus in key managed care state

Downers Grove, IL, July 31, 2014—Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home and community based services which are primarily social in nature and are provided in the home, focused on the dual eligible population, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Second Quarter Review

Total net service revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 were $77.0 million, a 17.1% increase compared to $65.8 million in the prior year quarter. Same store sales accounted for 6.7% increase with 10.4% generated by recently completed acquisitions. Net income from continuing operations was $2.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $0.24 per diluted share in 2013. Acquisitions contributed $245K of net income or $0.02 per diluted share.

Mark Heaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare, stated: “We are pleased with our performance for the quarter. Revenue growth, both for our same stores and for our new acquisitions remains strong, driven by an 8.7% increase in average census in the quarter in our same stores.”

Mr. Heaney also said, “We welcome the employees of Aid & Assist who give us a stronger presence in Tennessee, a key managed care state. Our first month of ownership has been very positive. The next step in the integration process is to merge our existing business into Aid for improved efficiency and effectiveness.”

Heaney continued “Focusing on the needs of our growing managed care payors continues to be a strategic focus of the organization. Our pilot programs with Aetna and Centene are progressing well and we are seeing increased census from these important projects. Based on projections from the State of Illinois, we anticipate between 20% to 30% of our Illinois caseload will transition to managed care in September.”

Same store average census grew 8.7%. Acquired census added an additional 7.9% for total census growth of 16.6% compared to the prior year quarter. Billable hours per business day increased 20.9%, offset by a slight decline in average revenues per billable hour.

Four consistently underperforming offices were closed in the quarter. These offices, located in New Jersey and Washington represented approximately $2.6 million in annualized revenues.

General and administrative expenses include $536K of one time M&A expense which reduced earnings by $0.03 per diluted share.

The estimated increase in Work Opportunity Tax Credits to be awarded in 2014 reduced our effective tax rate for the quarter to 30.9%, with an estimated overall rate for 2014 of 32.8%. This increased earnings by an estimated $0.02 per diluted share. Proforma earnings per share were $0.26 per diluted share after taking into effect M&A expenses and the change in our effective tax rate.

Net income from continuing operations increased 5.7% to $2.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 27.8% in the quarter to $5.9 million.

Cash flow for the quarter was positive with $14.3 million provided by operating activities, driven by solid operational performance and substantial payments on accounts receivable from the State of Illinois. The Company ended the quarter with $19.5 million in cash and $40 million available under its revolving line of credit.

Six Month Review

Total net service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $148.6 million, a 15.5% increase compared to $128.8 million in the same prior year period.

Net income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $5.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $5.3 million or $0.48 per diluted share, in the prior year period. This decline in earnings was due to the M&A expenses noted above and an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses related primarily to acquisitions, which reduced earnings by an additional $0.03 per diluted share.

2013 results were favorably affected by substantially lower effective tax rates in 2013 than experienced in 2014 (32.8% in 2014 vs. 28.5% in 2013). The net effect of the lower tax rates in 2013 was to increase earnings in that year by $0.03 per diluted share. Proforma earnings per diluted share would have been $0.49 per diluted share in 2014 after taking into effect M&A expenses noted above, compared to proforma adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.45 in 2013 after normalizing for the lower tax rate experienced in that year, representing a 8.9% increase over 2013 results.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 14.9% to $10.4 million. Cash flow for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 was positive with $16.9 million provided by operating activities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information provided in this release includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company defines as earnings before discontinued operations, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, M&A expense and stock-based compensation expense.
