Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a provider of home care services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Net service revenues increased 11.7% for the third quarter to $216.7 million from $194.0 million for the third quarter of 2020. Net income increased 27.0% to $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2021 from $9.1 million for the third quarter last year, while net income per diluted share was $0.72 compared with $0.57 for the same period a year ago. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.91 for the third quarter of 2021 compared with $0.76 for the third quarter of 2020.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2021 excludes acquisition and de novo expenses of $0.08 and stock-based compensation expense of $0.11. Adjusted EBITDA increased 27.4% to $24.9 million for the third quarter of 2021 from $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. (See page 8 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures in this news release.)

For the first nine months of 2021, net service revenues increased 12.5% to $639.9 million from $568.8 million for the first nine months of 2020. Net income increased 29.9% to $32.1 million for the first nine months of 2021 from $24.7 million for the first nine months of last year, while net income per diluted share increased to $2.00 from $1.55. Adjusted net income per diluted share grew 15.9% to $2.62 for the first nine months of 2021 from $2.26 for the same period in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased 25.0% to $69.9 million for the first nine months of 2021 from $56.0 million for the first nine months of 2020.

Commenting on the results, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We had record results in the third quarter with overall revenue growth of 11.7% over the prior-year period and improved profitability. Our personal care service line, which accounted for 78.3% of total revenue, was up 4.0% on a same store basis, which is within our target range of 3-5% organic revenue growth, and we anticipate potential improvement enhanced by upcoming scheduled rate increases. Home health had another strong quarter, up 24.8% over the third quarter last year, reflecting significantly higher volumes. As expected, we are seeing continued improvement in our hospice business with sequential growth in admissions, average daily census, and median length of stay. Overall operating trends were positive, despite pressures related to the surge in the Delta variant of COVID-19 as well as a tightening labor market, which had some effect on our growth in certain markets.”

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $152.4 million and bank debt of $224.9 million, with capacity and availability under its revolving credit facility of $367.0 million and $123.8 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.6 million for the third quarter of 2021.

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Summit Home Health, LLC, (“Summit”) based in the Chicago metro area, the Company’s largest market for personal care services. Allison noted, “This acquisition is based on our strategy to add clinical services in geographic markets where we have a strong personal care presence and opportunities in value-based care. With the addition of Summit’s $7.0 million in annualized revenues, we have added $30 million in annualized revenues through acquisitions to date in 2021. We remain focused on pursuing acquisitions that are accretive to our business and complement our organic growth opportunities. Our pipeline remains solid and we have the financial flexibility to pursue additional strategic acquisitions and further strengthen our competitive position.”

Allison continued, “We are pleased with our results to date in 2021 and continue to benefit from a favorable environment for home-based care with strong demand trends and increased government recognition and support through state and federal funding. The pandemic has demonstrated the critical need for safe, quality, patient-centered care in the home, and Addus is well positioned to meet this demand across our operating segments. We have a proven operating model and a dedicated team of frontline caregivers and support staff who share our mission to provide essential home care services to the patients who count on Addus for safe and cost-effective care.”

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 expense, restructure expenses, and other costs. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition and de novo expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructure expenses, and other costs. The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as earnings per share, adjusted for acquisition and de novo expenses, stock compensation expense, restructure expenses, and other costs. The Company defined adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted earnings per share to exclude net COVID expenses arising from the pandemic from the second quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2021. 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 earnings per share to earnings 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 earnings 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.

(1) The average billable census in acquisitions of 811 and 893 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was reclassified to average billable census - same stores for comparability purposes. The average billable census for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was prorated for the date of the acquisition.
(2) Exited sites would have reduced same store census for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 by 768 and 766, respectively.
(3) Management has suspended materially all of its new patient admissions under the New York consumer self-directed program based on program uncertainty and therefore excludes associated revenues from the calculation.
