Downers Grove, Illinois (March 6, 2017) Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a provider of comprehensive home care services, today

per diluted share, up 140.7% from $0.27 per diluted share. Adjusted net income from continuing operations per diluted share grew 34.4% to $0.43 for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $0.32 for the fourth quarter of 2015. (See pages 7 and 8 for a
reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures.)
For the year ended December 31, 2016, net
service revenues rose 19.0% to $400.7 million from $336.8 million for 2015. Net income from continuing operations increased 5.1% to $11.9 million for 2016 from $11.4 million for 2015 and increased 2.9% to $1.05 per diluted share
from $1.02 per diluted share. Adjusted net income from continuing operations per diluted share was $1.46 for 2016, up 19.7% from $1.22 for 2015. (See pages 7 and 8 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP
financial measures.)
Our financial results for the fourth quarter cap a very successful year for Addus, commented Dirk Allison, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Addus. Our revenue growth and expanded profit margins reflect our initiatives throughout 2016 to streamline Addus and refocus on driving profitable growth.
Our efforts to improve organic growth are reflected in our 5.1% increase in same store revenues for the quarter compared to the prior year. We launched
process improvement and cost reduction initiatives that accounted for the majority of our fourth quarter margin improvement, highlighted by margin improvement of 360 basis points in net income from continuing operations to 7.2% and 260 basis points
in adjusted EBITDA margin to 9.0%. We rebuilt our executive team and infrastructure, strengthening our ability to close, integrate, and support future acquisitions. As a result, Addus is well positioned to drive incremental margin improvements and
growth, both organically and through acquisition.
ADUS Reports Fourth-Quarter 2016 Results
The Company s revenue growth for the quarter resulted primarily from the acquisition of South Shore in February 2016, as well as the increase in same
store revenues. Revenues reflected a 22.2% year-over-year increase in billable hours per business day, and revenues per billable hour rose 1.6%. The Company s revenue growth, combined with the favorable margin impact of the 2016 process
improvement and cost reduction initiatives, generated 72.1% growth in adjusted EBITDA to $9.3 million for the quarter.
Addus completed 2016 with
$8.0 million in cash, $24.1 million of bank debt and $79.7 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Net cash used by operating activities for the fourth quarter was $31.7 million, largely due to the continuing
volatility in the Company s accounts receivable with the state of Illinois.
Mr. Allison concluded, Addus enters 2017 as a growing market
leader in a highly fragmented but vital sector of healthcare. We have the management team, experience and resources to execute our growth strategies and to deliver high quality, cost-effective care. We are enthusiastic about our future and our
ability to deliver increased 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 and
severance and other costs. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, M&A expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructure charges and severance and other costs. 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.
