RESCARE THIRD QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $437.8 million, which was a 6.8% increase over prior year period revenues of $409.9 million. The increase in revenue is primarily due to acquisitions in our Residential and HomeCare segments since the third quarter of 2013 and organic growth in all segments.

Net income was $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $11.3 million in the same period of 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower operating results in our ResCare HomeCare operating segment and higher legal costs. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 was $29.6 million versus $34.6 million in the prior year quarter.

EBITDA is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before share-based compensation, incentive compensation-options and acquisition costs. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Management routinely calculates and presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors and are used as analytical indicators within the industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. EBITDA is also used in measurements under certain covenants contained in the Company’s credit agreement and incentive compensation plan.
