Non-emergency transportation services (NET) revenue grew 9.3% to $216.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, from $197.9 million in the second quarter of 2013.

“We are pleased to report our initial quarter after consummation of the Ingeus acquisition, which comprises our new Workforce Development Services segment,” said Warren Rustand, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that Ingeus is well positioned to enable us to successfully pursue growth opportunities on a global basis.

“We also reported solid financial results in our legacy businesses in the quarter. Our NET Services segment continues to grow through market expansion as well as new contracts and has maintained its recent margin improvements. While we experienced revenue growth in our Human Services segment due primarily to the Texas foster care contract that began in 2013, costs related to this contract are still higher than anticipated. We have worked hard with the state to evaluate options to continue forward, and have concluded it is in the best interest of our stakeholders, including the communities and children we serve and our shareholders, to exit this contract through an orderly transition. We also continue to focus significant resources on rapid performance improvement in certain other key markets. We are pleased with the progress we have made, and expect to make over the balance of 2014.

“During the second quarter of 2014 we were also able to pay off the balance owed on our convertible debt and, additionally, expanded the capacity of our revolving line of credit by $75.0 million. We continue to pursue financially compelling service expansion opportunities to extend our mission of creating healthier communities.”

Non-GAAP Presentation

In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provided throughout this press release, the Company has provided EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measurements.

The non-GAAP measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results. The Company has provided this supplemental non-GAAP information because the Company believes it provides meaningful comparisons of the results of Providence’s operations for the periods presented in this press release.
