PALATINE, IL, Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home-based social and medical services, announced today its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Mark Heaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare, stated, “We are disappointed with our performance in the third quarter. While our largest division, Home & Community, performed well, our Home Health business was well below our expectations. However, we expect that Home Health will become a growing contributor due to the investments we’ve made.
“We remain focused on the Company’s accounts receivable collections and continue to make progress. In addition, the CarePro acquisition is proceeding smoothly and the business is performing in line with our expectations,” Heaney added.
Third Quarter Review
Total net service revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $69.8 million, a 4.5% increase compared to $66.8 million in the prior year quarter. The acquisition of Advantage Health Systems, which we refer to as CarePro, contributed approximately $2.5 million in revenues in the third quarter.
Third quarter 2010 net income of $1.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, including $0.01 per share in acquisition related expenses, was based on 10.7 million diluted shares outstanding. This compares to net income after preferred stock dividends of $0.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share based on 5.2 million diluted shares outstanding, in the prior year period. Net income in the third quarter of 2009 before preferred stock dividends was $2.1 million.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the third quarter of 2010 was $3.9 million, compared to $5.4 million in the prior year quarter. Contributing to the decrease in adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was a decrease of $1.0 million in the Home Health segment due principally to lower starts of care in Integrated Services, $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. Additionally, the Company recorded a pre-tax reduction in management bonuses of approximately $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2010.
Home & Community segment net service revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $57.3 million, a 6.4% increase compared to $53.9 million in the prior year quarter. The total segment revenue growth of $3.4 million came from a 2.5% organic growth rate plus $2.0 million from CarePro operations. Organic revenue growth was driven by the Illinois rate increase and ongoing sales efforts.
Home & Community gross profit margin increased to 25.3% in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 24.9% in the third quarter of 2009. Home & Community operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $5.9 million, or 10.3% of revenue, compared to $5.4 million, or 10.1% of revenue, in the prior year quarter.
Home Health segment net service revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $12.5 million, a 3.0% decrease compared to $12.9 million in the prior year quarter. Home Health segment revenues include approximately $0.5 million from CarePro operations. The decrease in revenues was largely the result of lower starts of care in Integrated Services.
Home Health gross profit margin was 45.0% in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 48.2% in the prior year period. Home Health operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $1.1 million, or 8.5% of revenues, compared to $2.1 million, or 15.9% of revenues, in the prior year quarter. The decline in Home Health operating income was primarily due to lower starts of care in the Integrated Services program, a slight increase in visits per episode and investments related to the expansion of the sales force.
Nine Month Review
Total net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $201.6 million, a 4.1% increase compared to $193.6 million in the prior year period. The acquisition of CarePro contributed approximately $2.5 million in revenues.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $4.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, including $0.02 per share in acquisition related expenses, was based on 10.6 million diluted shares outstanding. This compares to net income after preferred stock dividends of $1.9 million, or $1.04 per diluted share based on 5.2 million diluted shares outstanding, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net income for the first nine months of 2009 before preferred stock dividends was $5.4 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $11.9 million, compared to $14.9 million in the prior year period.
Home & Community segment net service revenues for the first nine months of 2010 were $164.2 million, a 5.0% increase compared to $156.4 million in the prior year period. The total segment revenue growth of $7.8 million was attributable to a 3.7% organic growth rate plus $2.0 million in revenue from CarePro operations.
Home & Community operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $16.9 million, compared to $15.8 million in the prior year period.
Home Health segment net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $37.5 million, a 0.6% increase compared to $37.2 million in the prior year period. Home Health segment revenues include approximately $0.5 million attributable to CarePro operations.
Home Health operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $3.8 million, compared to $5.6 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.
