LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ResCare, Inc. (Nasdaq:RSCR) today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 increased 2% over the prior year period to $395.8 million. Net income was $11.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, compared with $11.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, in the same period of 2008. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2009 was $29.1 million versus $28.3 million in the prior year quarter.
Ralph G. Gronefeld, Jr., president and chief executive officer, said, "I am pleased with our operating results despite a challenging environment. Meeting those challenges has strengthened our company and positioned us well for 2010 and the longer term. We are effectively managing our working capital and continuing to pay down debt. Our strong cash flow enabled us to reduce debt by $45 million since the end of 2008. We will continue to apply the lessons we have learned during the past 35 years. Fiscal discipline, organic growth, a selective acquisition strategy and dedicated, energized employees will help us offset the reimbursement challenges in this difficult economic cycle."

The Company confirmed its 2009 revenue guidance of $1.60 billion to $1.63 billion and $1.30 to $1.34 per diluted common share.

(1) 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 presents EBITDA
because it believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and is
commonly used as an analytical indicator 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. A reconciliation of
income from continuing operations to EBITDA is included on the
next page of this release.
