Paul B. Kusserow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “I am proud of our first quarter results and our continued performance in our four strategic pillars. Home Health has carried its strong momentum exiting 2020 into the first quarter of 2021, and though Hospice continues to see the impact of COVID-19 on average daily census, we are performing ahead of our projections and expect to continue to make good progress throughout 2021. We are also innovating close-to-the-core, growing inorganically, generating a prodigious amount of cash flow and remain in a position of very low leverage. We are excited about the growth opportunity both organically and inorganically this year and beyond and expect to be at the forefront of industry consolidation. Our industry leading quality, innovations mindset and payor orientation have materially differentiated Amedisys and have helped us take incremental steps towards being the leading aging-in-place, chronic care management company. A special thank you to all of our clinical staff and teams whose unwavering dedication to providing best-in-class clinical care has once again translated into strong financial results.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes reconciliations of the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules are as follows: (1) adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding certain items; (2) adjusted other operating income, defined as other operating income excluding certain items; (3) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc., defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. excluding certain items; and (4) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. per diluted share, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. common stockholders per diluted share excluding certain items. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful gauges of our current performance and are also included in internal management reporting. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not more meaningful than or as an alternative to the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the company’s financial statements. Non-GAAP measures as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures consistently.
