Management Comments
William Yarmuth, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“We continue to be extremely pleased with both the progress of our internal operations and our business development activities.  We are especially pleased with our organic growth rates in both our VN and PC segments and believe these reflect a period of renewed interest and belief by referral sources and payors that home health has a bright future and a critical role to play in improving patient experiences and controlling health care costs.”

Steve Guenthner, President, added:
“The recent Federal repeal of the physician SGR-cut removes an annual threat that has dissuaded some investors.  The final two years of rebasing of Medicare rates and the current stability in the Federal political environment provide better reimbursement visibility and predictability than we’ve had for some time.  The Medicaid programs in the states in which we operate are looking for new and creative ways to control their spending which mostly means keeping long-term care patients out of institutions.  While these changes from time-to-time result in temporary cash flow issues, as they recently have in Tennessee and Ohio, we believe they will also continue to drive increasing use of home care, especially personal care services.

Additionally, capital markets remain receptive to our investment thesis providing strong access to funding for acquisitions.  Finally, we continue to see attractive acquisition candidates in all three of our business segments.”

Yarmuth concluded: “We accomplished a great deal during the first quarter, not only in our operating results but also in making strategic investments in both WillCare and NavHealth.  Additionally, we improved our access to low-cost capital through our new and larger credit facility.  We are as optimistic as ever about the future of home health care and the future of our business and remain focused on continuing our growth trajectory.”

First Quarter Financial Results
Improved VN segment cost controls, in particular tighter adherence to agency-level labor staffing standards, increased the efficiency of care delivery lowering labor costs on growing volumes improved diluted EPS by $0.08 as compared to the same quarter of last year.  Changes in case-mix and Medicare reimbursement rates under the 2015 final rule combined to increase revenue by $0.6 million, and EPS by $0.04 as compared to the same period in 2014.  PC segment results were consistent with the prior year period.  Our Healthcare innovations segment loss increased slightly from the prior year on lower revenues.

Investing activities used approximately $4.4 million of cash in acquisitions and activities while operating activities used approximately $3.8 million primarily due to increased accounts receivable offsetting income generated.  The Company noted that it is continuing to experience collection delays impacting days sales outstanding primarily in its personal care segment due to changes in patient enrollment and billing requirements enacted by the Medicaid managed care providers in the states of Tennessee and Ohio.  The Company believes these are temporary issues that will be ameliorated over the next two quarters.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2015 was 40.5% compared to 41.5% for the first quarter of 2014.  The higher income tax rate in 2014 occurred primarily due to certain deal and transaction costs that were not currently deductible and that did not result in the establishment of a deferred tax asset.

Recent Corporate Developments
·  
On January 29, 2015 Almost Family announced the formal creation of a new HealthCare Innovations business segment to house and separately report on the Company’s developmental activities outside its traditional home health business platform.  At the same time the Company announced the investment of up to $2 million in NavHealth a development-stage enterprise that seeks to develop technology based tools and analytics to improve patient experiences and lower the overall costs of care.

·  
On February 12, 2015 Almost Family established a new senior secured multi-bank credit facility that replaced its previous facility and provides for up to $175 million in borrowings with a maturity date of February 11, 2020.

·  
On February 24, 2015, Almost Family announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire the stock of WillCare, Inc. for between $46 million and $53 million based on

changes in earnings and working capital between execution of the definitive agreement and the expected close, sometime in the second half of FY2015 subject to New York approval.  On March 1, 2015, Almost Family closed on the Ohio portion of the WillCare acquisition for a cash amount of $3 million.

·  
Effective with the first quarter of 2015 the Company has adopted a 52-53 fiscal reporting calendar under which it will report its annual results going forward in four equal 13-week quarters.  Every fifth year, one quarter will include 14 weeks and that year will include 53 weeks of operating results.  Once fully adopted, this approach will help minimize the impact of calendar differences when comparing different historical periods.  As a result of this change the first quarter of 2015 includes the 13 week and 2 day period from January 1, 2015 to April 3, 2015 which is 2 more days than each 13 week quarter to be reported in the future.  For prospective comparison, the 2 days (New Year’s Day and the day after) had a one-time effect of increasing revenue by $2.3 million, while lowering EPS by $0.01 due to the effect of the holiday.  Had this reporting change not been made, first quarter 2015 reported revenue would have been lower by $5.4 million and EPS would have been lower by $0.02.

Adjusted EBITDA from Home Health Operations
Adjusted earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, amortization of stock-based compensation, deal, transition and other and healthcare innovation operating loss (Adjusted EBTIDA from Home Health Operations) is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from Home Health Operations are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity.  Management routinely calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA from Home Health Operations and believes that it is useful to investors because it provides a common analytical indicator within our industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value.  Adjusted EBITDA is also used in certain covenants contained in our credit agreement.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA from Home Health Operations:
