ADDUS HOMECARE ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Net service revenues increase 14.3% to $81.9 million

Adjusted earnings per diluted share totals $0.24; net income per diluted share totals $0.19

Adjusted EBITDA grows 21.3% to $5.4 million

Announces purchase agreement for entry into New York market

Hires Don Klink as Chief Financial Officer

Downers Grove, Illinois (April 30, 2015) – Addus HomeCare Corporation (NASDAQ: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home and community-based services that are primarily provided in the home and focused on the dual eligible population, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

For the quarter, net service revenues increased 14.3% to $81.9 million from $71.7 million for the first quarter of 2014. Net income was $2.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015 compared with $2.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the prior-year first quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 14.3% to $0.24 for the first quarter of 2015 from $0.21 for the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2015 exclude acquisition-related transaction expenses of $0.02, incremental costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”) Section 404 compliance efforts of $0.02 and the $0.01 impact of higher than expected taxes due to the suspension of Worker Opportunity Tax Credits for 2015, which Addus expects will be renewed. Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.3% to $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2014. (See page 7 for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures.)

“We are pleased to report solid first quarter financial results and a new purchase agreement for an acquisition that, once consummated, will provide Addus entry into the large managed care market in New York,” commented Mark Heaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare. “Our financial results were driven by continued double-digit growth in our average billable census, which increased 11.9% for the quarter. This growth was the primary contributor to a 6.9% increase in same store revenue. We continued to produce good organic growth during the quarter with our traditional payers. Although the operational complexities involved in the transition of dual eligibles to MCOs again slowed the pace of referrals in Illinois, MCO revenue rose to 18.3% of total Addus revenue, from 15.4% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 4.4% for the first quarter last year.

“While we do not control the pace of the transition of our client populations to MCOs across our markets, we continue to work with them to improve the healthcare of the dual eligible population

with a corresponding lower cost of care. We are very excited to have recently entered into project engagements with MCOs in three states to assist these MCOs with, among other things, locating and engaging new members and providing initial health risk assessments (HRAs) for their dual eligible beneficiaries. These MCOs recognize that Addus’ widely distributed workforce of nearly 19,000 home care personnel offers an experienced team well positioned locally to locate members and provide HRAs for this population.

“In addition to our efforts to drive organic growth, we continue to position Addus for future growth through our acquisition strategy. Following our first quarter acquisition of Priority Home Health Care in Ohio, this week we announced signing a definitive agreement to purchase South Shore Home Health Services, Inc., a New York state-licensed home care services agency primarily providing personal care services and headquartered on Long Island, New York. New York has been a leader in working with MCOs to better coordinate services for the state’s dual eligible and Medicaid populations, and assuming consummation of this transaction, we will be entering this market with a strong, high quality home care provider.”

South Shore currently serves Suffolk, Nassau, Queens and Westchester counties. For 2014, South Shore produced revenue of approximately $47 million. Addus expects that, assuming satisfaction of all closing conditions (as to which no assurances can be made), including customary closing conditions for a transaction of this type (including New York regulatory approval), the purchase of South Shore is expected to be completed before year end or in early 2016 and that the purchase will be accretive to the Company’s 2016 financial results.

Addus had $7.4 million in cash at the end of the first quarter of 2015, no bank debt and $40 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Net cash used by operating activities was $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2014.

Hires Don Klink as CFO

Heaney continued, “After a thorough search process, I am pleased to announce that Don Klink will be joining Addus as Chief Financial Officer effective May 11, 2015. Don brings over 30 years of in-depth financial experience to Addus from his work at both public and private companies. He has extensive experience with implementing, refining and managing the full range of financial functions required of publicly held companies. In addition, through his experience with operations, business development, IT, risk management and human resources, he has a keen understanding of the strategic and tactical needs of companies driving growth through organic expansion and acquisition. We welcome Don to Addus, and we are confident of his ability to contribute to our long-term growth.”

Mr. Klink has over 30 years of in-depth financial experience from his work at both public and private companies. From October 2013 through April 2015, he provided various senior financial consulting services, including assignments through Tatum US, a management consulting firm. From 2009 to 2013, Mr. Klink worked at Hudson Global, Inc., a public talent solutions company, as the Americas CFO and General Manager of Financial Solutions. Prior to that, he held financial positions of increasing responsibility, including 10 years at publicly held Helene Curtis Industries, Inc. and Unilever P.L.C. after its acquisition of Helene Curtis Industries, Inc., where he, in addition to other positions, served as VP and Controller of a major business unit. Mr. Klink received his MBA from the University of Chicago and is a licensed CPA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information provided in this release includes adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share, adjusted for M&A expenses, incremental SOX 404 compliance expense and tax benefit from worker opportunity tax credits. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, M&A expense and stock-based compensation expense. The Company has provided, in the financial statement tables included in this press release, a reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, in each case, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors, management and others in evaluating the Company’s operating performance, to provide investors with insight and consistency in the Company’s financial reporting and to present a basis for comparison of the Company’s business operations among periods, and to facilitate comparison with the results of the Company’s peers.
