LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Almost Family, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AFAM), a leading regional provider of home health nursing
services, announced today its financial results for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2008.
William B. Yarmuth, Chairman and CEO, commented, "By all measures, 2008
has been a period of outstanding accomplishments by Almost Family. We're
reporting record revenues and earnings, a continuation of our aggressive
growth strategy and the achievement of numerous capital market milestones.
I couldn't be more pleased with our financial report for the second
quarter, in particular with our 33% organic revenue growth rate in our VN
segment. Total revenue growth in the VN segment, where we focus most of our
effort, was 66% over the same quarter last year and 30% over the first
quarter of 2008. All of this serves as further validation that we are on
the right track as we move forward into the second half of the year."
Second Quarter Financial Results
Almost Family reported second quarter 2008 net service revenues of
$48.7 million, a 50% increase from $32.5 million in the second quarter of
2007. Operating income for the second quarter of 2008 increased to 14% of
net service revenues versus 11% for the second quarter of 2007.
Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.9 million, or $0.50
per diluted share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in
the second quarter of 2007. The weighted average shares outstanding for
purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share increased 39% between
periods as the Company completed a common stock offering, of 2,512,500
shares in the second quarter of 2008.
The number of days sales outstanding in accounts receivable, or DSO,
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, decreased to 47 days, compared to
51 days for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decline in DSO was
attributable to resolved billing issues related to Medicare claims,
partially offset by rapid growth from acquisitions and organic initiatives.
Second Quarter Segment Results
Net revenues in the Visiting Nurse segment for the second quarter of
2008 were $38.9 million, a 66% increase from $23.5 million in the second
quarter of 2007. The total revenue growth of $15.4 million came from a 33%
organic growth rate plus $7.6 million from acquired operations. Operating
income before corporate expense in the VN segment for the second quarter
2008 was $8.6 million, an 88% increase from $4.6 million in the second
quarter 2007.
Net revenues in the Personal Care (PC) segment for the second quarter
of 2008 were $9.8 million, a 9% increase from $9.0 million in the second
quarter of 2007. Operating income before corporate expense in the PC
segment for the second quarter of 2008 was $821,000.
Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2008
Almost Family reported net service revenues for the six month period
ended June 30, 2008 of $87.7 million, a 37% increase from $64.3 million in
the same period last year. Operating income for the six month period
increased to 13% of net service revenues versus 11% for the prior year
period.
Net income for the six month period was $6.4 million, or $0.95 per
diluted share, compared to $3.6 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the
prior year period. The weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of
calculating diluted earnings per share increased 21% between periods.
Six Month Period Segment Results
Net revenues in the Visiting Nurse (VN) segment for the six month
period of 2008 were $68.7 million, a 48% increase from $46.5 million in the
same period last year. The total revenue growth of $22.2 million came from
a 25% organic growth rate plus $10.6 million from acquired operations. The
six month results included results from the Quality of Life acquisition
completed in late October of 2007 and results from the Apex Home Healthcare
acquisition completed in late March 2008. Operating income before corporate
expense in the VN segment for the six month period was $14.0 million, a 58%
increase from $8.9 million in the same period last year.
Net revenues in the Personal Care (PC) segment for the six month period
were $19.0 million, a 7% increase from $17.8 million in the same period
last year. Operating income before corporate expense in the PC segment for
the six month period was $1.6 million, a 9% decrease from $1.7 million in
the same period last year.
Recent Corporate Developments
On April 16, 2008, Almost Family completed a common stock offering of
2,250,000 shares at $17.75 per share, which generated net proceeds of $37.3
million.
On May 9, 2008, Almost Family announced that the underwriter of the
public offering exercised its over-allotment option in part and purchased
262,500 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price of
$17.75 per share.
On June 16, 2008, Almost Family was named one of Fortune Small

On June 27, 2008, Almost Family was added to the Russell 2000(R) Index.

secured multi-bank credit facility replacing its previous facility.
On August 1, 2008, Almost Family completed the acquisition of Patient
Care for $45.2 million, subject to a working capital adjustment. The
acquisition was previously under a definitive agreement signed on June 18,
2008. The acquisition added $47 million in annual revenues and eight
locations in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Due to the
transition, wind down costs and the timing of the close, the acquisition is
not expected to contribute significantly to earnings in 2008 but is
expected to be accretive to EPS in 2009.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The information provided in the tables in this release includes certain
non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has
provided, in the supplemental information and the footnotes to the tables,
a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
measures.
EBITDA:
EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, net
interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA 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 EBITDA are significant components in understanding and
evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Management routinely
calculates and communicates EBITDA and believes that it is useful to
investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within our
industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt
service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value.
EBITDA is also used in certain covenants contained in our credit agreement.
The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Continuing
