PRESS RELEASE DATED NOVEMBER 5, 2001
For Immediate Release Exhibit 99.1
AMEDISYS ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS
NINE-MONTH EARNINGS OF $0.35 PER DILUTED SHARE FROM
CONTINUING OPERATIONS COMPARE FAVORABLY WITH PRIOR-YEAR
NET LOSS OF ($1.05) PER SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (November 5, 2001) - Amedisys, Inc. (OTC BB: "AMED"), one
of America's leading home health nursing companies, today reported its financial
results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2001.
The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $2.0 million, or
$0.25 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2001, on
revenues of approximately $29.7 million. These results compared with revenues of
approximately $22.1 million and a net loss from continuing operations of ($1.5
million), or ($0.29) per share, in the third quarter of 2000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, net income from continuing
operations totaled $2.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, on revenues of
approximately $79.0 million. In the corresponding period of the previous year,
the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of ($4.2 million), or
($1.05) per share, on revenues approximating $68.8 million.
"We are very pleased to report third quarter earnings that met management's
expectations and confirm the continuing earnings turnaround at Amedisys," stated
William F. Borne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "On a
year-to-date basis, we have experienced a 40% increase in patient admissions, as
compared to the prior year, resulting from the success of our marketing efforts
to expand our physician referral base and from contributions by home nursing
agencies acquired during the past year. Management continues to implement
actions that can improve the efficiency of our operations, while delivering the
highest levels of home nursing service to our patient population."
"A price increase of approximately 5.2% became effective under Medicare's
Prospective Payment System on October 1, 2001," continued Borne. "This price
increase, along with improving cost efficiencies throughout the Amedisys
organization, should allow the Company's earnings to improve further in the
fourth quarter, which ends December 31, 2001."
THE COMPANY WILL PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION TODAY ON THESE RESULTS DURING A
TELECONFERENCE CALL THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR 11:00 A.M. EST. TO ACCESS THIS CALL,
PLEASE DIAL 800-388-8975. A REPLAY OF THE CONFERENCE CALL WILL BE AVAILABLE
UNTIL NOVEMBER 12, 2001, BY DIALING 800-428-6051. THE ACCESS CODE IS #215516 FOR
