Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 6, 2015, we issued a press release containing certain financial information for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. As noted in the press release, we have provided non-GAAP financial measures (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share), the reasons we have provided such measures and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Readers should consider 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. A copy of the press release is being furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On our earnings call scheduled for August 7, 2015, we intend to provide certain pro forma financial measures assuming our acquisitions of both Ingeus Limited (“Ingeus”) and CCHN Group Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Community Care Health Network, Inc. (d/b/a Matrix Medical Network) (“Matrix”) occurred on January 1, 2014. The table below presents our revenue and a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, assuming that we had acquired Ingeus and Matrix on January 1, 2014:
