FRISCO, Texas, May 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a provider of comprehensive home care services, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Net service revenues were $139.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, up 27.2% from $109.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. Net income was $4.9 million, compared with $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2018, while net income per diluted share was $0.36, compared with $0.42 per diluted share for the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share grew 23.8% to $0.52 for the first quarter of 2019 from $0.42 for the first quarter of 2018.
Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first quarter of 2019 excludes M&A expenses of $0.03, restructuring, severance and other costs of $0.05, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.08. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first quarter of 2018 excludes prompt payment interest income of $0.16 from the state of Illinois, M&A expenses of $0.07, restructuring, severance and other costs of $0.03, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.06.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 23.1% to $10.8 million for the first quarter of 2019 from $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2018. (See page 8 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures in this news release.)
Dirk Allison, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are proud of our solid financial results for the first quarter, marking a great start to 2019. First-quarter revenues reflected a strong increase in same-store revenue of 5.6%, exceeding our target range of 3% to 5%. This increase was primarily driven by higher revenue in our New York market, as we saw significant consumer growth due to the ongoing narrowing of provider networks in the state. In addition, we saw referral volumes in the first quarter return to more normal levels in both New Mexico and Illinois, as expected."
At March 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $66.2 million and bank debt of $20.0 million, while availability under its revolving credit facility was $141.2 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2019.
Mr. Allison added, "As our first-quarter results indicate, we have continued to execute our organic growth and acquisition strategies and extend our market reach as a leading provider of comprehensive home care services. With our strong value proposition, including hospice and home health services, we believe we are well positioned to meet the increasing demand for our services.
"In April, we received approval from the Public Health and Health Planning Council of the New York Department of Health for our previously announced transaction to purchase the assets of VIP Health Care Services, a New York City-based provider of personal care services with annual revenues of approximately $50 million. We expect to complete the final requirements for licensure in order to close the transaction on or about June 1, 2019. This acquisition will further advance our strategy of enhancing strong operations in states where we operate. Importantly, we continue to have the flexibility and capital to pursue additional acquisitions that fit our strategic profile and enhance our ability to drive long-term growth in earnings and shareholder value. Our pipeline remains strong, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead for Addus in 2019."
