RESCARE FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Revenues for the first quarter of 2013 were $389.5 million, which was a 2.0% decrease from prior year period revenues of $397.3 million.  Contract losses and modifications in Workforce Services and Youth Services segments were partially offset by increased revenues from acquisitions in our Residential and HomeCare segments since the first quarter of 2012.

Net income was $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared with $5.7 million in the same period of 2012.  The increase is due to lower interest expense and income tax expenses.  Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2013 was $30.1 million versus $30.0 million in the prior year quarter.

(1) EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations 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 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.
