ADDUS HOMECARE ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Frisco, Texas (May 1, 2023) – Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a provider of home care services, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights:

•	Revenues Grow 11.0% to $251.6 Million
•	Net Income of $12.7 Million, or $0.78 per Diluted Share
---	---
•	Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share Increases to $0.97
---	---
•	Adjusted EBITDA Increases 16.2% to $26.0 Million
---	---
•	Cash Flow from Operations of $18.8 Million
---	---

Overview

Net service revenues were $251.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, an 11.0% increase compared with $226.6 million for the first quarter of 2022. Net income was $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared with $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, while net income per diluted share was $0.78 compared with $0.53 for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.2% to $26.0 million for the first quarter of 2023 from $22.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.97 for the first quarter of 2023 compared with $0.77 for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023 excludes acquisition and de novo expenses of $0.06 and stock-based compensation expense of $0.13 (See the end of press release for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures.)

Commenting on the results, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to report a great start to 2023 operating results for Addus. With solid execution, we delivered strong financial results and operating metrics for the first quarter of this year, including impressive top-line growth with overall revenues up 11.0% and adjusted EBITDA up 16.2% compared with the first quarter of 2022. We have continued to see growing awareness of the value and safety of home-based care. As an example of this recognition, our largest personal care market of Illinois recently received CMS approval for its most recent rate increase to be effective on April 1, 2023. This rate increase is in addition to the previously announced rate increase in Illinois that was effective January 1, 2023. There is sustained demand for our services, and Addus remains well-positioned to help serve this demand with a proven operating model across the continuum of home care.

“Our personal care segment delivered an 11.4% revenue increase over the first quarter last year on a same-store basis. We experienced improved volume trends compared with the prior-year quarter, which was affected by challenges related to the Omicron surge in early 2022. These results also reflect the statewide rate increase in our largest market of Illinois, which went into effect on January 1, 2023. We are very pleased with the momentum in our personal care business and our increased ability to meet the demand for our services. Our home health revenues were up 13.8% on a same-store basis over the first quarter last year, enhanced by the acquisition of Apple Home Healthcare, which we completed on October 1, 2022. We are excited about the opportunities to expand our home health operation as it complements our personal care services, particularly in select markets where we participate in value-based contracting models. As expected, we saw a modest recovery in our hospice business, which accounted for 19.5% of our revenues. On a same-store basis, hospice revenues improved 2.6%, including the impact of the October 1, 2022, annual hospice rate adjustment, but offset by the resumption of Medicare sequestration. We expect to see gradual improvement in our hospice care business, especially as we move into the second half of 2023.”

Cash and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $73.5 million and bank debt of $111.4 million, with capacity and availability under its revolving credit facility of $395.1 million and $275.7 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, inclusive of a net $2.3 million in ARPA funds utilization.

Looking Ahead

Allison continued, “We have continued to strengthen our balance sheet and use our strong cash flow to repay debt. At the same time, we are focused on making the necessary investments in our business to support continued growth, including technology investments that will help drive greater efficiency in the delivery of care. We have also implemented new systems to help achieve our hiring and retention goals to support current and expected demand.

“In addition to organic growth, we will continue to assess acquisition opportunities in 2023 that align with our overall growth strategy. Importantly, we are well-capitalized to continue delivering value to our shareholders. We are pleased with the operating trends in our business and remain optimistic about our prospects for continued growth in the year ahead. We appreciate the hard work of the dedicated caregivers who represent Addus and continue to provide outstanding care to more patients and families. We look forward to the opportunities ahead for Addus in 2023 as we extend our market reach and deliver greater value for our shareholders,” added Allison.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information provided in this release includes adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income before acquisition and de novo expenses, stock-based compensation expenses, and restructure and other non-recurring costs. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, other non-operating income, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition and de novo expense, stock-based compensation expense, and restructure and other non-recurring costs. The Company defines adjusted net income per diluted share as net income per share, adjusted for acquisition and de novo expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and restructure and other non-recurring costs. The Company defines adjusted net service revenues as revenue 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 to net income, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, a reconciliation of adjusted diluted net income per share to net income per share, 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, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted net income per share, 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.
