LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Almost Family, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AFAM), a leading regional provider of home health nursing services,
announced today its financial results for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2008.
William B. Yarmuth, Chairman and CEO, commented, "By all measures, 2008
has been a period of outstanding accomplishments by Almost Family. We're
reporting record revenues and earnings, a continuation of our aggressive
growth strategy and the achievement of numerous capital market milestones. I
couldn't be more pleased with our financial report for the second quarter, in
particular with our 33% organic revenue growth rate in our VN segment. Total
revenue growth in the VN segment, where we focus most of our effort, was 66%
over the same quarter last year and 30% over the first quarter of 2008. All
of this serves as further validation that we are on the right track as we move
forward into the second half of the year."
Second Quarter Financial Results
Almost Family reported second quarter 2008 net service revenues of $48.7
million, a 50% increase from $32.5 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2008 increased to 14% of net
service revenues versus 11% for the second quarter of 2007.
Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.9 million, or $0.50 per
diluted share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the
second quarter of 2007. The weighted average shares outstanding for purposes
of calculating diluted earnings per share increased 39% between periods as the
Company completed a common stock offering, of 2,512,500 shares in the second
quarter of 2008.
The number of days sales outstanding in accounts receivable, or DSO, for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, decreased to 47 days, compared to 51
days for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decline in DSO was
attributable to resolved billing issues related to Medicare claims, partially
offset by rapid growth from acquisitions and organic initiatives.
Second Quarter Segment Results
Net revenues in the Visiting Nurse segment for the second quarter of 2008
were $38.9 million, a 66% increase from $23.5 million in the second quarter of
2007. The total revenue growth of $15.4 million came from a 33% organic
growth rate plus $7.6 million from acquired operations. Operating income
before corporate expense in the VN segment for the second quarter 2008 was
$8.6 million, an 88% increase from $4.6 million in the second quarter 2007.
Net revenues in the Personal Care (PC) segment for the second quarter of
2008 were $9.8 million, a 9% increase from $9.0 million in the second quarter
of 2007. Operating income before corporate expense in the PC segment for the
second quarter of 2008 was $821,000.
Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2008
Almost Family reported net service revenues for the six month period ended
June 30, 2008 of $87.7 million, a 37% increase from $64.3 million in the same
period last year. Operating income for the six month period increased to 13%
of net service revenues versus 11% for the prior year period.
Net income for the six month period was $6.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted
share, compared to $3.6 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the prior year
period. The weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating
diluted earnings per share increased 21% between periods.
Six Month Period Segment Results
Net revenues in the Visiting Nurse (VN) segment for the six month period
of 2008 were $68.7 million, a 48% increase from $46.5 million in the same
period last year. The total revenue growth of $22.2 million came from a 25%
organic growth rate plus $10.6 million from acquired operations. The six
month results included results from the Quality of Life acquisition completed
in late October of 2007 and results from the Apex Home Healthcare acquisition
completed in late March 2008. Operating income before corporate expense in
the VN segment for the six month period was $14.0 million, a 58% increase from
$8.9 million in the same period last year.
Net revenues in the Personal Care (PC) segment for the six month period
were $19.0 million, a 7% increase from $17.8 million in the same period last
year. Operating income before corporate expense in the PC segment for the six
month period was $1.6 million, a 9% decrease from $1.7 million in the same
period last year.
Recent Corporate Developments
On April 16, 2008, Almost Family completed a common stock offering of
2,250,000 shares at $17.75 per share, which generated net proceeds of $37.3
million.
On May 9, 2008, Almost Family announced that the underwriter of the public
offering exercised its over-allotment option in part and purchased 262,500
additional shares of common stock at the public offering price of $17.75 per

On August 1, 2008, Almost Family completed the acquisition of Patient Care

was previously under a definitive agreement signed on June 18, 2008. The
acquisition added $47 million in annual revenues and eight locations in New
Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Due to the transition, wind down costs

significantly to earnings in 2008 but is expected to be accretive to EPS in
2009.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The information provided in the tables in this release includes certain
non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has
provided, in the supplemental information and the footnotes to the tables, a
reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
measures.
EBITDA:
EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, net
interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or
financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from EBITDA are
significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance
and liquidity. Management routinely calculates and communicates EBITDA and
believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an
analytical indicator within our industry to evaluate performance, measure
leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or
prospective enterprise value. EBITDA is also used in certain covenants
contained in our credit agreement.
The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Continuing Operations
