Commenting on the results, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Addus had a strong start to 2025, delivering a solid financial and operating performance as we continue to see solid demand for our home-based care services across the continuum. Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was up 20.3% and adjusted EBITDA increased 25.1% over the same period last year. These results reflect solid organic growth and include the first full quarter of the personal care operations of Gentiva, which we acquired on December 2, 2024.

"Our personal care segment, which accounted for 76.5% of our business, was the key driver of our growth with a 7.4% organic revenue increase over the first quarter last year. We benefited from higher volumes as well as additional rate support, including a 5.5% increase effective January 1, 2025, for Illinois, our largest personal care market. The addition of the Gentiva personal care operations, our largest acquisition to date, gave us two new states and added coverage in five states where we already had operations. Our team has worked hard to implement a smooth integration, and we are excited about the additional opportunities to expand our personal care presence.

"We were pleased to see continued steady improvement in our hospice care segment, which accounted for 18.2% of our business, with solid organic revenue growth of 9.9% over the first quarter last year. Our average daily census, patient days and revenue per patient day were all higher compared with the same period last year. With the recent changes in our operations and sales leadership, we are confident we have a capable team in place to drive further improvement in our hospice business. Our home health services accounted for 5.3% of total revenue for the first quarter. While this is our smallest business segment, we continue to see home health as providing important complementary capabilities to our personal care and hospice care segments, allowing us to provide patients with the full care continuum.

Cash and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $97.0 million and bank debt of $203.0 million, with capacity and availability under its revolving credit facility of $632.9 million and $421.9 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, inclusive of a net $2.5 million in ARPA funds utilization.

Allison continued, "For the first quarter of 2025, we continued to generate consistent cash flow from operations and maintain a strong balance sheet. Our conservative leverage position allows us the flexibility to continue to invest in our business and to evaluate and pursue additional acquisition opportunities. We remain focused on finding strategic markets that meet our objective to leverage our existing personal care presence and add clinical care services, so we can provide all three levels of care. We see important synergies in offering the full care continuum as we build scale and expand our market coverage, and we are optimistic that we will see additional acquisition opportunities in 2025.

"We believe the favorable trends in our business will continue to enhance our ability to achieve solid organic growth and provide quality services from our recently acquired operations. As we extend our reach to more patients and families across our markets, we are mindful of our important role as a leading provider of quality care in the preferred home setting. We recognize the hard work and dedication of the caregivers who are the face of Addus, and we are grateful for the outstanding care and support they provide every day across our markets. Working together, we look forward to the opportunities ahead for Addus in 2025, as we deliver value to the clients we serve and our shareholders," said Allison.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information provided in this release includes adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted net service revenue, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income before acquisition expense, stock-based compensation expense, and the gain or loss on the sale of assets. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expense, stock-based compensation expense, and the gain or loss on the sale of assets. The Company defines adjusted net income per diluted share as net income per share, adjusted for acquisition expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructure and other non-recurring costs, gain or loss on the sale of assets, impairment of operating lease assets, retroactive rate increases from New York and the retroactive impact from collective bargaining negotiations.

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.
