FRISCO, Texas, Aug. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a provider of comprehensive home care services, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Net service revenues were $103.6 million for the second quarter, up 2.6% from $100.9 million for the second quarter of 2016. Net income increased 3.8% to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $2.6 million for the same quarter last year. Net income per diluted share was $0.23 for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016. For the second quarter of 2017, net income per diluted share included a write off of debt issuance costs associated with the Company's prior credit facility of $0.09, M&A expenses of $0.02 and share-based compensation expense of $0.04. For the second quarter of 2016, net income per diluted share included severance and other charges of $0.04, restructure charges of $0.01 and share-based compensation expense of $0.03. After giving effect to these adjustments, adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.38 for the second quarter of 2017, a 22.6% increase from $0.31 for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.0% for the second quarter of 2017 to $8.6 million from $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2016. (See page 7 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures in this news release.)

For the first six months of 2017, net service revenues increased 6.0% to $205.2 million from $193.5 million for the first half of 2016. Net income for the first six months of 2017 increased 152.4% to $7.0 million from $2.8 million for the same period in 2016, and net income per diluted share rose 140% to $0.60 from $0.25. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.72 for the first half of 2017, up 18.0% from $0.61 for the first six months of 2016.

Dirk Allison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus, remarked, "Addus performed well for the second quarter of 2017, with a solid 3.9% increase in same-store sales and expanded profit margins driving a 22.6% increase in adjusted earnings per diluted share. In addition to this substantial earnings growth, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire Options Home Care during the second quarter, a transaction we closed on schedule on August 1, 2017. We also entered into a new $250 million credit facility during the second quarter and finished our preparations to implement our new ADP payroll system, which we successfully completed in July."

The increase in net service revenues for the second quarter of 2017 was generated through organic growth and reflected the exit of the Company's Adult Day Services business. The revenue growth for the second quarter of 2017 was comprised of a slight increase in billable hours per business day compared with the second quarter last year, as well as a 2.4% increase in revenue per billable hour.

Addus completed the second quarter with $15.9 million in cash and $45 million of bank debt. Net cash used by operating activities was $21.0 million for the second quarter, compared with $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2016, largely due to the timing of payments related to the Company's accounts receivable with the state of Illinois. As a result of the passage of the new Illinois budget in early July, the Company has received payments of $70.2 million on the state's past due non-Medicaid accounts receivable.

Mr. Allison added, "Our financial and operating performance for the second quarter has generated meaningful operating momentum as we move into the second half of 2017. The completion of our new ADP payroll system was a fundamental component of our plans to improve the productivity and efficiency of our existing operations. In addition, we've already demonstrated its ability to enhance our acquisition integration processes through the seamless integration of Options Home Care's operations. This transaction brings annualized revenues of over $20 million to Addus, and the integration process was essentially completed the day of the transaction's closing. With the new payroll system in place, as well as our new credit facility, we believe we are well positioned to pursue additional acquisition opportunities in our highly fragmented industry.

"While our focus on improving our processes, quality and efficiency continues, we have successfully completed all the major initiatives launched in the first half of 2016. As a result, we are highly focused on executing our organic and acquisition growth strategies, which we believe will produce further long-term growth in earnings and shareholder value."

    (1)     We define 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.
     Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure used by management that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). It should not be considered in
     isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
