Overview
Net service revenues were $260.0 million for the second quarter
of 2023, a 9.7% increase compared with $236.9 million for the
second quarter of 2022. Net income was $14.9 million for the second
quarter of 2023, compared with $11.3 million for the second quarter
of 2022, while net income per diluted share was $0.91 compared with
$0.70 for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA increased
12.7% to $28.3 million for the second quarter of 2023 from $25.1
million for the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income was
$17.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared with $14.7
million for the prior-year period, while adjusted net income per
diluted share was $1.07 compared with $0.91 for the second quarter
of 2022. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the second
quarter of 2023 excludes the impact of retroactive New York rate
increase of $(0.05), acquisition expenses of $0.08 and stock-based
compensation expense of $0.13 (See the end of press release for a
reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures.)
For the first six months of 2023, net service revenues increased
10.4% to $511.6 million from $463.6 million for the prior-year
period. Net income was $27.5 million for the first six months of
2023 compared with $19.7 million for the same period in 2022, and
net income per diluted share was $1.69 compared with $1.22 per
diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.8% to $54.6 million for
the first six months of 2023 from $47.5 million for the first six
months of 2022. Adjusted net income was $33.4 million for the first
six months of 2023 compared with $27.1 million for the first six
months of 2022, while adjusted net income per diluted share was
$2.05 compared with $1.68 for the prior-year period.
Commenting on the results, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, said, “Addus delivered a very strong financial
and operating performance for the second quarter of 2023,
highlighted by 9.7% top line growth in overall revenues and 12.7%
growth in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the second quarter of 2022.
Our strong volume trends in personal care, our largest segment,
were a significant driver of our growth for the quarter. Demand for
our personal care services continues to grow, reflecting a greater
awareness of the value of home-based care as the preferred and most
cost-effective option for many individuals. Our team has done an
outstanding job in meeting this demand as we continue to provide
safe, high-quality care for our patients in the home, while
delivering consistent financial results. We expect to see gradual
improvement and expansion opportunities in our home health and
hospice operations in the second half of 2023 as the clinical
staffing environment continues to improve and as a result of the
expiration of the public health emergency. With our balance sheet
and strong cash flow, we are well positioned to leverage our scale
and expertise and extend our market coverage in all three levels of
care.
“For our personal care segment, we achieved an impressive 12.6%
organic growth in revenue on a same-store basis over the second
quarter of 2022. These results reflect both sequential and year-
over-year improvement in volume trends, which have continued to
gain momentum in 2023 from our ongoing efforts in caregiver hiring
and retention strategies begun last year. We also benefitted from
two statewide rate increases in our largest state market of
Illinois, which went into effect on January 1, 2023, and April 1,
2023, respectively. For the second quarter of 2023, our home health
revenues declined 10.9% on a same-store basis over the prior-year
period as we continue to limit admissions from payers which have
lower paying contracts, improving the overall profitability of our
home health segment. While this segment is still a very small part
of our overall business, we believe there are opportunities to
continue to expand these operations both organically, by
acquisition and by strategic partnerships. For our hospice
business, which accounted for 19.3% of revenue, we continued to see
modest sequential improvement in average daily census and median
length of stay, which was 29 days in the second quarter, the
highest it has been since before the pandemic. For the second
quarter of 2023, hospice revenues were lower by 1.1% on a
same-store basis compared with the same period last year, however,
exclusive of the impact of sequestration our revenues would be
essentially flat as compared to the prior year period,” said
Allison.
Cash and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $84.2 million and
bank debt of $81.4 million, with capacity and availability under
its revolving credit facility of $409.3 million and $319.9 million,
respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $41.6
million for the second quarter of 2023, inclusive of a net $1.0
million in ARPA funds utilization.
Looking Ahead
Allison continued, “We have generated very strong cash flow from
operations in 2023, which has allowed us to repay debt and
strengthen our balance sheet. As such, we are well positioned to
continue making strategic investments in our business that will
expand our operations and enhance our services across the continuum
of care. In addition to organic growth opportunities, we remain
focused on pursuing acquisitions that meet our desired operational
and geographic profile and are accretive to our business. At the
end of the second quarter, we announced a definitive agreement to
acquire the entities comprising Tennessee Quality Care, a provider
of home health, hospice, and private duty nursing services.
Tennessee Quality Care serves an average daily census of
approximately 1,800 patients through 17 locations covering a
service area of over 50 counties in Tennessee, a certificate of
need state for both home health and hospice services. This
transaction is based on our acquisition strategy to leverage our
strong personal care presence and add clinical services in select
markets, especially where we have the opportunity to enter into
value-based contracting models.
“We are very pleased with the trends in our business though the
first half of the year and our ability to meet our key performance
objectives. As always, we acknowledge the dedicated efforts of our
caregivers who work hard every day to provide outstanding care for
more patients and families. We are excited about the opportunities
ahead for Addus in 2023, and we will continue to pursue a strategic
direction that supports the patients in our care and delivers
greater value to our shareholders,” 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.
