Out-of-Period Items

Out-of-Period Items

During the third quarter of 2013, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment which increased our costs of services by approximately $1 million and decreased net income by approximately $0.6 million.  This item related to the second quarter of 2013 and resulted from a physical inventory adjustment in our Pharmacy operation. We also identified and recorded another out-of-period adjustment during the third quarter of 2013 which decreased revenues by approximately $1.3 million, of which $0.5 million related to 2012 and $0.8 million related to the first half of 2013. These out-of-period adjustments decreased net income for the third quarter of 2013 by approximately $2.3 million before tax ($1.4 million after tax). We evaluated the total out-of-period adjustments impacting the third quarter and year-to-date 2013, both individually and in the aggregate, in relation to the current period, when they were corrected, as well as the periods in which they originated and concluded that these adjustments are not material to any financial statements for all impacted periods.

Segments

Segments

Effective January 1, 2013, we began managing and operating our Pharmacy Services as a new reporting segment.  Pharmacy Services is a limited, closed-door pharmacy focused on serving individuals with cognitive, intellectual and developmental disabilities.  The pharmacy operations were previously included with our Residential Services segment.  As a result of this change, the results of our Residential Services segment has been retrospectively recast for all periods presented.

Effective July 1, 2013, we made certain changes within our business lines to meet our future growth objectives.  Our reportable segments did not change significantly.  Some of the components and structure within certain reportable segments changed and our Youth Services segment’s name changed to Education and Training Services.  The majority of our Residential Youth reporting unit moved from the Education and Training Services segment to the Residential Services segment.  We also moved a small operation from our ResCare HomeCare segment to our Education and Training Services segment.  Further information regarding our segments is included in Note 7.
