National Mentor Holdings, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2011 Results

BOSTON, Massachusetts, February 14, 2011 — National Mentor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $266.7 million, an increase of $16.4 million, or 6.6%, over revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Revenue increased $14.5 million related to acquisitions that closed during the period from October 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010 and $1.9 million related to organic growth, including growth related to new programs. Organic growth increased despite the negative impact of rate reductions in several states, including Indiana and Wisconsin.

Income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $10.9 million, a decrease of $0.4 million as compared to income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The operating margin was 4.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, a decrease from 4.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $1.8 million compared to net loss of $40 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $27.9 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 6.3%, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was the result of the increase in revenue noted above, as well as our on-going cost containment efforts. Partially offsetting this increase, Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by rate reductions in several states, including Indiana and Wisconsin. Adjusted EBITDA was also negatively impacted by an increased expense related to higher self-insured retentions and premiums for professional and general liability policies.

From time to time, the Company may make forward-looking statements in its public disclosures. The forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by management of the Company and are believed to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. The forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any such forward-looking statements, including the risks and uncertainties disclosed as Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This press release includes presentations of Adjusted EBITDA because it is the primary measure used by management to assess financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain non-operating expenses. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA are presented within the tables below. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations, as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of financial performance and the ability to meet debt service requirements, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.
