FRISCO, Texas, Nov. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Addus HomeCare Corporation ADUS, a provider of home care services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net service revenues increased 26.7% for the third quarter to $137.6 million from $108.6 million for the third quarter of 2017. Net income increased 4.0% to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $3.4 million for the third quarter last year, while net income per diluted share was $0.28 compared with $0.29. Adjusted net income per diluted share grew 14.3% to $0.48 for the third quarter of 2018 from $0.42 for the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2018 excludes M&A expenses of $0.11, restructuring charges of $0.02, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.07. For the third quarter of 2017, adjusted net income per diluted share excludes M&A expenses of $0.04, restructuring charges of $0.04, severance and other costs of $0.01, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.04. Adjusted EBITDA increased 20.2% to $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $9.6 million for the third quarter of 2017.  (See page 9 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures in this news release.)

For the first nine months of 2018, net service revenues increased 20.6% to $378.3 million from $313.8 million for the first nine months of 2017. Net income increased 22.5% to $12.7 million for the first nine months of 2018 from $10.4 million for the first nine months of last year, while net income per diluted share increased 19.1% to $1.06 from $0.89. Adjusted net income per diluted share grew 24.8% to $1.41 for the first nine months of 2018 from $1.13 for the same period in 2017.

Commenting on the results, Dirk Allison, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am pleased with our continued growth as reflected in our financial and operating performance for the third quarter of 2018. Third quarter revenue reflects consistent organic growth, with same-store sales increasing 3.7%, consistent with our target range of 3% to 5%. It also includes the first full quarter of contribution from the Ambercare acquisition completed on May 1, 2018."

For the third quarter, personal care net service revenues increased 18.0% on growth in billable hours per business day of 15.8% and an increase of 2.0% in revenue per billable hour compared with the third 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 $2.4 million for the third 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 began reporting revenue in the hospice and home health segments beginning in the second quarter of 2018, in addition to personal care services. As previously announced, the full integration of the acquisitions of Arcadia and Ambercare are expected to be completed by year end.

The Company had cash of $147.5 million and bank debt of $103.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2018, while availability under its revolving credit facility was $88.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Amended and Restated Credit Facility

The Company also announced today that it has completed a new senior secured credit facility for $269.6 million, which includes a $250.0 million revolver and a $19.6 million delayed draw term loan, replacing the Company's previous facility. The maturity of the new facility is May 2023, with the delayed draw term loan available for draw through January 31, 2019.

Mr. Allison stated, "Addus is well positioned for continued growth, both organically and through acquisitions. In conjunction with the completion of our new credit facility, we have extinguished our term debt and have the flexibility to draw on our new expanded revolver to support our ongoing acquisition strategy." 

Definitive Agreement to Acquire VIP Health Care Services Personal Care Operations in New York

Following the end of the third quarter, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of VIP Health Care Services, a provider of home care services, headquartered in Richmond Hill, New York.  VIP Health Care Services currently serves approximately 1,250 consumers in all five boroughs of New York City, as well as Long Island, Westchester and Rockland Counties.  Addus expects to complete the transaction in the first or second quarter of 2019, contingent on the timing of regulatory approval, with funding through the Company's new credit facility and available cash.

Mr. Allison continued, "We are pleased to announce our definitive agreement to purchase the operations of VIP Health Care Services, which provide extensive personal care coverage in the New York City area that will complement our South Shore operations on Long Island.  VIP Health Care Services has annualized revenues of approximately $50 million.  Upon completion, we will have combined revenues of over $110.0 million in New York, which is already one of our largest markets.  With over 1,500 caregivers operating through six locations in the New York metropolitan area, VIP Health Care Services represents a great strategic fit for Addus, and we are excited about the additional growth opportunities in this important region.  As one of the nation's leading home care providers, we remain confident in our ability to identify additional acquisitions that will continue to enhance our service offering and further extend our market reach."

New Board Director Appointed

Addus also announced today that it has named Jean Rush to its Board of Directors. Ms. Rush previously served as Executive Vice President-Government Markets for Highmark Inc., one of the nation's largest health insurance companies, where she oversaw Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and other related business lines. Prior to Highmark, she served in various executive roles with Centene Corporation in operations focused on Medicare, Medicaid and Dual Eligible populations.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Allison said, "We are pleased to have Jean join the Company's Board. She has deep operational experience within health plan operations and administration related to payors such as Medicaid and, importantly, Medicare Advantage. With the addition of personal care services as a supplemental benefit for Medicare Advantage plans beginning in 2019, we view this area as a significant long-term opportunity for Addus, and we will benefit from Jean's tremendous experience and knowledge as we move into this market."

Ms. Rush added, "Addus has enjoyed impressive growth as a leader in the home care sector of the healthcare industry with a proven strategy to capitalize on the growing demand for these services.  I look forward to working with the other leaders on the Board as we continue to move Addus forward and meet our dual objectives to deliver improved patient care and build 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.
