TUCSON, ARIZONA –March 14, 2012 — The Providence Service Corporation (Nasdaq: PRSC) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, which were in line with guidance provided on February 15, 2012.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Results

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company reported revenue of $244.3 million, an increase of 11.4% from $219.3 million in the comparable period in 2010. Revenue from Providence’s non-emergency transportation (NET) services segment grew 13.4% to $154.6 million in the fourth quarter from $136.3 million in the prior year period. Revenue from the social services segment increased 8.1% to $89.8 million, up from $83.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Revenue growth benefitted from new NET contract wins, a June 2011 acquisition and organic growth.

Net income was $3.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Included in the fourth quarter of 2011 was an unanticipated $1.1 million expense in the NET insurance captive. This captive ceased to write auto insurance policies in 2011.

Providence’s direct client census was approximately 61,000 at December 31, 2011 compared to 58,100 at December 31, 2010. The Company had approximately 11.3 million individuals eligible to receive services under its NET contracts at December 31, 2011 compared to approximately 8.2 million at December 31, 2010. Direct contracts numbered 709 at December 31, 2011 up from 704 at December 31, 2010.

Full-Year 2011 Results

For the full year, the Company reported revenue of $943.0 million, an increase of 7.2% from $879.7 million in 2010. Revenue from Providence’s NET services segment grew 8.1% to $581.5 million in 2011 from $537.8 million in the prior year period. Revenue from the social services segment increased 5.7% to $361.4 million in 2011, up from $341.9 million in 2010.

Net income was $16.9 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, in 2011 and included a non-cash charge of approximately $2.5 million, or $0.11 per share, related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of the Company’s senior credit facility. In addition there was a gain of $2.7 million, or $0.20 per share, from a June 2011 acquisition due to the net assets acquired exceeding the purchase price of the business. Also impacting 2011 net income were start-up costs related to new and expanded LogistiCare contracts. In 2010, net income was $23.6 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, and benefited from favorable NET utilization trends.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $43.2 million. During 2011, the Company generated a total of $31.0 million in cash from operations. At December 31, 2011, the Company had long term liabilities of $163.1 million, down from $184.5 million at December 31, 2010.

“We are pleased to have completed 2011 with such strong performance in our LogistiCare division having won five of five new state contracts and retaining eight of nine incumbent contracts,” stated Fletcher McCusker, Chairman and CEO. “This is truly a testament to our experienced management team, dedicated employees and track record of performance. While we will experience some start up expenses in the first two quarters of 2012 and could see delays in the start up of new contracts, we have no capitated state NET incumbent contracts up for rebid in 2012.”

“On the social services side, we believe we are positioned to continue to benefit from recent trends that favor the privatization and home and community based provision of our services. Organic growth is anticipated to continue through 2013 when health care reform legislation, if not repealed, has the potential to make community based services mandatory and could significantly increase eligible Medicaid members.”

“While we anticipate challenges from time to time, we remain bullish on our ability to continue to grow and win new business. We will also continue to deleverage our balance sheet and look for opportunities to further diversify our service offerings,” Mr. McCusker concluded.

Guidance

Providence anticipates revenue for the first quarter of 2012 to be in a range of $240 to $255 million, with diluted earnings per share forecasted to be between $0.20 and $0.22. This includes the expected impact of start up costs in New York City and Dallas, Texas and higher than normal utilization due to the absence of any weather related impact on trips. This compares to revenue of $228 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.34 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011, which included a non-cash charge of approximately $2.5 million, or $0.11 per share, related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees.

For the full year 2012, Providence anticipates revenue to be approximately $1.0 billion with diluted earnings per share of approximately $1.22. In addition, the Company anticipates its tax rate to be 42.5%.

About Providence

The Providence Service Corporation, through its owned and managed entities, provides home and community based social services and non-emergency transportation services management to government sponsored clients under programs such as welfare, juvenile justice, Medicaid and corrections. Providence is different from many of its competitors in that it provides its social services primarily in the client’s own home or in community based settings versus treatment facilities or hospitals and provides its NET management services through local transportation providers rather than owning its own fleet of vehicles. The Company provides a range of services through its direct entities to approximately 61,000 clients through 709 active contracts at
