FRISCO, Texas, Aug. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a provider of home care services, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net service revenues increased 26.7% for the second quarter to $131.2 million from $103.6 million for the second quarter of 2017. Net income increased 59.1% to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $2.7 million for the second quarter last year, while net income per diluted share increased 56.5% to $0.36 from $0.23. In addition, net income margin increased to 3.3% from 2.6%.  Adjusted net income per diluted share grew 31.6% to $0.50 for the second quarter of 2018 from $0.38 for the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2018 excludes M&A expenses of $0.03; restructuring charges of $0.01; severance and other costs of $0.03; and stock-based compensation expense of $0.07.  For the second quarter of 2017, adjusted net income per diluted share excludes a write off of debt issuance costs of $0.09; M&A expenses of $0.02; and stock-based compensation expense of $0.04. Adjusted EBITDA increased 32.3% to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2017, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 8.6% from 8.3%. (See page 8 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures in this news release.)

For the first six months of 2018, net service revenues increased 17.3% to $240.7 million from $205.2 million for the first six months of 2017. Net income increased 31.6% to $9.2 million for the first half of 2018 from $7.0 million for the first half last year, while net income per diluted share increased 30.0% to $0.78 from $0.60. Adjusted net income per diluted share grew 29.2% to $0.93 for the first six months of 2018 from $0.72 for the same period in 2017.  

"Addus continued to deliver profitable growth for the second quarter of 2018, both organically and through acquisitions," commented Dirk Allison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus. "Our growth in net service revenues for the quarter included the impact of five acquisitions in the 12 months ended June 30, 2018, with aggregate annualized revenues of more than $130 million.  The two largest of these acquisitions, Arcadia and Ambercare, were completed in the second quarter, on April 1st and May 1st, respectively.  Addus also continued to benefit from organic revenue growth in the second quarter, with same-store sales increasing 3.7%, consistent with our target range of 3% to 5%."

For the second quarter, personal care net service revenues increased 20.8%, on growth in billable hours per business day of 17.0% and revenue per billable hour of 3.3%, compared with the second quarter last year. As previously discussed, the Company's adoption of ASU 2014-09, Accounting for Contracts with Customers, effective as of January 1, 2018, reduced net service revenues by $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. This reduction affects the year over year comparability of net service revenues and expense items as a percentage of net service revenues, while not affecting net income, earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA or adjusted earnings per diluted share.  As a result of the Ambercare transaction, Addus is reporting revenue in the hospice and home health segments for the second quarter, in addition to personal care services. 

The Company had cash of $69.2 million and bank debt of $103.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2018, while availability under its revolving credit facility was $90.4 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared with a net cash use of $21.0 million for the second quarter of 2017.

Mr. Allison concluded, "The integration of the two second-quarter acquisitions has gone smoothly, and they are performing to our expectations.  The full integration of these two acquisitions is expected to be completed by year end. These transactions are consistent with our acquisition strategy, which includes a focus on companies that advance our ability to be one of the leading home care service providers in a market, expand our scope of home care services and are accretive to our financial results.  Increasing industry consolidation pressures and recognition of our growing number of completed transactions have contributed to an expansion of our acquisition pipeline. We believe we are well positioned to complete additional acquisitions and are confident that, combined with continued organic growth, we will drive long-term growth in earnings and shareholder value."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information provided in this release includes adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net service revenues, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines adjusted net income per diluted share as net income per diluted share, adjusted for M&A expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructure charges, severance and other costs, write off of debt issuance costs, interest income from the State of Illinois and gain on sale of ADS. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, interest income, other non-operating income, taxes, depreciation, amortization, M&A expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructure charges, severance and other costs, interest income from the State of Illinois and gain on sale of ADS. The Company defines adjusted net service revenues as net service revenues adjusted for the closure of certain sites. The Company has provided, in the financial statement tables included in this press release, a reconciliation of adjusted net income per diluted share to net income per diluted share, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and a reconciliation of adjusted net service revenues to net service revenues, in each case, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net service revenues are useful to investors, management and others in evaluating the Company's operating performance, to provide investors with insight and consistency in the Company's financial reporting and to present a basis for comparison of the Company's business operations among periods, and to facilitate comparison with the results of the Company's peers.
