Commenting on the results, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, We are pleased to report a great start for Addus in 2024,
delivering a strong financial and operating performance as we continued to build momentum as a leading provider of home-based care services. With solid execution, we achieved impressive top-line growth with
overall revenues up 11.6% and adjusted EBITDA up 24.6% compared with the first quarter of 2023. The heightened awareness of the value and safety of home-based care is helping to drive our growth, and our team has done an exceptional job in meeting
the increased demand with a proven operating model across the continuum of home care.
Our personal care segment, which accounted for 74.1% of our
business, was a key driver of our growth with a 9.3% revenue increase over the first quarter of last year on a same-store basis. We continued to benefit from steady volume trends as well as rate increases in certain state markets. We have also
experienced a more stable labor environment, and we continue to see an improved ability to hire and retain caregivers from our investments in more efficient and effective hiring and scheduling systems, which support our ability to efficiently manage
higher patient volume.
Our first quarter results included the operations from Tennessee Quality Care, a provider of home health, hospice, and
private duty nursing services, which we acquired August 1, 2023. We were pleased to see continued steady improvement in our hospice care business, with organic revenue growth of 5.8% over the same period last year, which included the benefit of
a 3.1% rate increase as of October 1, 2023, and the impact of additional Tennessee locations. Our volume trends in hospice care also improved, with higher admissions, patient days, and revenue per patient day compared with the first quarter of
last year. Hospice care now accounts for 20.0% of our business, and we will look to continue to drive organic growth and expansion in this critical area of care, said Allison.
ADUS Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $76.7 million and bank debt of $101.4 million, with capacity and availability under its revolving
credit facility of $486.9 million and $377.5 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.7 million for the first quarter of 2024, and $30.9 million exclusive of a net $7.8 million in ARPA
Allison continued, We
have continued to generate strong cash flow from operations, allowing us to further reduce our revolver balance by $25.0 million and strengthen our balance sheet in the first quarter. At the same time, we are focused on making the necessary
investments in our business to support continued growth. We have the financial flexibility to remain focused on identifying acquisition opportunities in attractive markets in 2024. Our primary objective is to acquire accretive operations that
enhance our current personal care services, either by building scale or adding complementary clinical services. Our size and scale are important competitive advantages for Addus, and we will look for additional opportunities to leverage our strong
market presence, particularly in markets where we participate in value-based contracting models or may have the opportunity to do so.
pleased with the favorable trends in our business, reflecting the consistently growing demand for our home-based care services. We are extremely proud of the important work we are doing to allow more patients to receive safe, quality care in their
preferred setting of their home. Our success as a provider is due to the dedicated caregivers who represent Addus in the marketplace, and we are grateful for the outstanding care they are providing to patients and families. We look forward to the
opportunities ahead for Addus in 2024 as we extend our market reach and deliver greater value for our shareholders, added Allison.
