For the first nine months of 2023, net service revenues increased 11.1% to $782.3 million from $704.1 million for the prior-year period. Net income was $42.9 million for the first nine months of 2023 compared with $31.3 million for the same period in 2022, and net income per diluted share was $2.63 compared with $1.94 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.7% to $85.4 million for the first nine months of 2023 from $73.2 million for the first nine months of 2022. Adjusted net income was $52.1 million for the first nine months of 2023 compared with $42.3 million for the first nine months of 2022, while adjusted net income per diluted share was $3.20 compared with $2.63 for the prior-year period.

Commenting on the results, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our third quarter results reflect the continued strong momentum in our business, highlighted by revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth of 12.6% and 20.0%, respectively, when compared with the third quarter of 2022. In addition to revenues generated by our recent acquisitions, organic growth was driven by continued demand for home-based care, especially for our personal care services, which accounted for 74.6% of our revenues. We are also pleased that the overall labor environment has continued to improve, which has enhanced our ability to support our higher patient volume.

“Our personal care segment has been the key growth driver for Addus this year, as we delivered impressive 13.9% organic growth in revenue on a same-store basis over the third quarter of 2022, the highest quarterly growth rate this year. This growth has benefited from the increased demand we are seeing in our markets along with the two statewide rate increases in our largest personal care state of Illinois.

“Our third quarter results included two months of operations of Tennessee Quality Care, a provider of home health, hospice, and private duty nursing services, which we acquired August 1, 2023. We are pleased that the integration process is going well as we expand our coverage capabilities to all three levels of home-based care in Tennessee. We remain excited about the expansion opportunities in our home health operations as it complements our personal care services, especially where we participate in value-based contracting models. For our hospice business, which accounted for 19.6% of revenue for the third quarter, we were encouraged to see more positive trends return with revenues up 3.1% over the third quarter of 2022 on a same-store basis and modest improvement in average daily census and length of stay compared with the same period last year,” said Allison.

Cash and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $79.8 million and bank debt of $166.4 million, with capacity and availability under its revolving credit facility of $450.0 million and $275.6 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.8 million for the third quarter of 2023, inclusive of a net $2.1 million in ARPA funds utilization.

Looking Ahead

Allison continued, “While we have continued to expand our business, we also have generated very strong cash flow from operations in 2023. Our leadership team has remained focused on paying down debt and strengthening our balance sheet to ensure we are well-capitalized to make strategic investments in our business. We will continue to pursue acquisitions similar to Tennessee Quality Care and other strategic acquisitions that are accretive to our business and meet our goal of adding valuable clinical assets to our non-clinical operations. Consistent with our historical approach to M&A, we are being selective in identifying and pursuing acquisition opportunities, allowing us to gain more clarity on pending regulatory changes and other market dynamics.

“We are proud of the work we are doing to meet the expanding need for home-based care, which is one of the safest and most cost-effective care delivery models. We recognize that both our past and future success are due to our caregivers who work hard every day to provide outstanding care and support to more patients and families. I am grateful for our dedicated team of caregivers who provide this safe, high-quality care in the preferred home setting,” added Allison.

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 expenses, stock-based compensation expenses, and restructure and other non-recurring costs. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, other non-operating income, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expense, stock-based compensation expense, and restructure and other non-recurring costs. The Company defines adjusted net income per diluted share as net income per share, adjusted for acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and restructure and other non-recurring costs. 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 net income per share to net income 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 net income 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.
