(NASDAQ/NM:RSCR), the nation's leading provider of residential, training, therapeutic, educational and support services for people with disabilities and special needs, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Ronald G. Geary, ResCare chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, "We are very pleased with our strong performance in the first quarter of 2006, which gives us momentum toward our goals for the year. The integration of our recently acquired Workforce Services Group continues to go well. We will continue to exercise strict fiscal and operational discipline as we selectively take advantage of acquisition opportunities that meet our criteria." First Quarter 2006 Financial Highlights Revenues for the first quarter of 2006 increased 25% over the prior year period to a record $318.9 million. Income from continuing operations was $9.4 million, up 41% from $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations were $0.29, an increase of 38% over the prior year's $0.21. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2006 was $23.8 million versus $18.1 million in the prior year, a 32% increase. Effective March 31, 2006, the Company ceased providing community services in the District of Columbia. The withdrawal has been accounted for as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of our community services in the District of Columbia and the related exit costs, net of income taxes, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Net loss from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2006 was $2.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share. The loss is comprised of a pretax operational loss of $1.4 million and pretax exit costs of $2.2 million, offset by a tax benefit of $1.4 million. For the first quarter of 2005, net loss from discontinued operations was $1.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share. This loss was comprised of pretax operational losses of $1.5 million, offset by a tax benefit of $0.5 million. Net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $7.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, as compared with $5.7 million, or $0.18 per share, in the prior year quarter. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, ResCare announced the acquisitions of Hometown Opportunities and Armstrong Uniserve, together generating annual revenues of approximately $31 million. The Company also subsequently completed four tuck-in acquisitions, with annual revenues of approximately $6 million. 2006 Guidance from Continuing Operations The Company also updated its guidance for 2006 to reflect the following items: -- Earnings per diluted common share from continuing operations of $1.20 to $1.24. -- Revenues in the range of $1.33 billion to $1.35 billion. -- Diluted equivalent share count of 28.2 million common shares, plus 4.8 million common share equivalents for the preferred shares. -- Annual tax rate of 36%. The first quarter of 2006 was 39.5% due to the expiration on December 31, 2005, of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. The Company assumes this credit will be reinstated as it has been for over 25 years, at which time the Company will adjust its annual tax rate to approximately 36%. -- Although many states' budgets are yet to be finalized, an approximate 0.5% to 1.0% increase in reimbursement rates for calendar year 2006. -- An assumed impact on operating costs from rising fuel and utility prices. -- The classification of Washington D.C. community services operations as discontinued operations. In conclusion, Mr. Geary said, "As always, I am honored to acknowledge the sacrifice and dedication of our employees. Their efforts, on behalf of the people we support, drive our success. With the help of these exceptional individuals and the strong momentum generated by our first quarter, we look forward with confidence to 2006."

(2) EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. 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 measurements under certain covenants contained in our credit agreement. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to EBITDA.
