Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 21, 2014 The Providence Service Corporation (“Providence”) will meet with certain investors. Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report contains a presentation that will be used during these meetings. The presentation includes certain pro forma financial data and references to Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is included in the investor presentation. Investors should consider the pro forma financial data and the non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In this regard, GAAP refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “believe,” “demonstrate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “should” and “likely” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, statements that are not historical should also be considered forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the global credit crisis, capital market conditions, the implementation of the healthcare reform law, state budget changes and legislation and other risks detailed in Providence’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014. Providence is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update any of the information in this press release if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
