AMEDISYS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER REVENUE AND EARNINGS

AND REAFFIRMS 2011 GUIDANCE

AMEDISYS TO HOST CONFERENCE CALL

TODAY AT 10:00 A.M. ET

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (April 26, 2011) — Amedisys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMED), a leading home health and hospice company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 and reaffirms 2011 guidance.

Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

 

 

 

Net service revenue of $364.3 million compared to $413.0 million in 2010, a decrease of $48.7 million or 11.8%. Same store agencies decreased $40.5 million, $16.2 million of the decrease related to agencies closed or consolidated during 2010 offset by $8.0 million in revenue related to start-up and acquisition agencies.

 

 

 

Net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. of $15.3 million compared to $36.6 million in 2010, a decrease of $21.4 or 58.3%.

 

 

 

Diluted earnings per share of $0.53 compared to $1.29 per diluted share in 2010, a decrease of 58.9%. The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding increased to approximately 28.9 million compared to 28.4 million in 2010.

 

 

 

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $36.8 million compared to $70.7 million in 2010, a decrease of 48.0%.

 

 

 

After adding back $4.4 million ($2.7 million, net of income tax) or $0.09 per diluted share in certain items*, the following would have been our adjusted results:

 

 

 

Net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. of $18.0 million compared to $36.6 million in 2010, a decrease of 51.0%.

 

 

 

Diluted earnings per share of $0.62 compared to $1.29 per diluted share in 2010, a decrease 51.9%.

 

 

 

EBITDA of $41.2 million compared to $70.7 million in 2010, a decrease of 41.7%.

 

*

See footnote 2 on page 7 for explanation of these certain items.

“Our financial performance for the quarter reflects mixed operating results. Our aggressive efforts over the past few quarters to drive down costs and improve efficiencies generated positive results. However, soft admissions volume drove revenue below our expectations. Going forward, our clear objective is to improve internal growth,” stated William F. Borne, Chief Executive Officer of Amedisys, Inc. “Our balance sheet strength continued to improve over the quarter, leaving us well positioned for acquisitive growth such as our recently announced deal to acquire Beacon Hospice.”

2011 Guidance

 

 

 

Net service revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $1.600 billion to $1.650 billion.

 

 

 

Diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $3.00 to $3.30 based on an estimated 29.3 million shares outstanding.

This guidance includes the effects of our recently announced Beacon acquisition but excludes the effects of the following: any future acquisitions, if any are made; effects of any share repurchases; non-recurring costs that may be incurred during the year; the impact of any future Medicare rate changes; or the impact, if any, of the new regulatory requirements, including face-to-face and therapy requirements.

We urge caution in considering the current trends and guidance disclosed in this press release. The home health and hospice industry is highly competitive and subject to intensive regulations, and trends and guidance are subject to numerous factors, risks, and uncertainties, some of which are referenced in the cautionary language below and others that are described more fully in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K which can be found on the

Forward-Looking Statements

When included in this press release, words like “believes,” “belief,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “may,” “might,” “would,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described therein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the following: changes in Medicare and other medical payment levels, our ability to open agencies, acquire additional agencies and integrate and operate these agencies effectively, changes in or our failure to comply with existing Federal and State laws or regulations or the inability to comply with new government regulations on a timely basis, competition in the home health industry, changes in the case mix of patients and payment methodologies, changes in estimates and judgments associated with critical accounting policies, our ability to maintain or establish new patient referral sources, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, changes in payments and covered services due to the economic downturn and deficit spending by Federal and State governments, future cost containment initiatives undertaken by third-party payors, our access to financing due to the volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, our ability to meet debt service requirements and comply with covenants in debt agreements, business disruptions due to natural disasters or acts of terrorism, our ability to integrate and manage our information systems, changes in or developments with respect to any litigation or investigations relating to the Company, including the United States Senate Committee on Finance inquiry, the SEC investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Investigative Demand and various other matters, many of which are beyond our control.

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of future events. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking and we do not intend to release publicly any updates or changes in our expectations concerning the forward-looking statements or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances upon which any forward-looking statement may be based, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules: EBITDA, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before provision for income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA plus certain items, adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc., defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. plus certain items and adjusted diluted earnings per share, defined as diluted earnings per share plus the earnings per share effect of certain items. In accordance with SEC rules, we have provided herein a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that these are useful gauges of our performance and are common measures used in our industry to assess relative financial performance among companies.

(1)

EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before provision for income taxes, net interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes, cash flow from operating activities, or other traditional indicators of operating performance. This calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since not all companies calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner.

(2)

During the three-month period March 31, 2011, we incurred certain costs of $3.3 million ($2.0 million, net of tax or $0.07 per diluted share) associated with the realignment of operations, acquisition costs and legal expenses related to the United States Senate Committee on Finance inquiry and SEC and DOJ investigation. We also incurred costs associated with our agency closings/consolidations we announced in 2010 of $1.1 million ($0.7 million net of tax or $0.02 per diluted share).

(3)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before provision for income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization plus certain items as described in footnote 2. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes, cash flow from operating activities, or other traditional indicators of operating performance. This calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since not all companies calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner.

(4)

Adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. is defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. plus certain items as described in footnote 2. Adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes, cash flow from operating activities, or other traditional indicators of operating performance. This calculation of adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since not all companies calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same manner.

(5)

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as diluted earnings per share plus the earnings per share effect of certain items as described in footnote 2. Adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes, cash flow from operating activities, or other traditional indicators or operating performance. This calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since not all companies calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner.
