BATON ROUGE, La., May 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Amedisys, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMED) today reported its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

Net service revenue increased $11.1 million to $556.4 million compared to $545.3 million in 2022.
Net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. of $25.2 million compared to $31.7 million in 2022.
Net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. per diluted share of $0.77 compared to $0.97 in 2022.

Adjusted Quarterly Results*

Adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. of $32.7 million compared to $40.1 million in 2022.

* See pages 2 and 12 - 13 for the definition and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures.

Richard Ashworth, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am very pleased by our strong outperformance on adjusted EBITDA and EPS versus our internal expectations this quarter, and I am incredibly thankful for our 18,000 associates who helped to deliver these results. Quality is a core value at Amedisys, and it was one of the biggest drivers for me in joining the organization. In my first few weeks here, I have had the distinct pleasure of spending time in the field with our caregivers and regional associates, and having the opportunity to see and hear all they do, it is no wonder why we are the highest quality provider in our spaces. Quality is also a self-fulfilling prophecy as higher quality drives better growth and financial performance. I look forward to our continued progress across our four strategic focus areas of Growth, People, Clinical Optimization and Contessa and am excited to deliver more quarters of repeatable and predictable financial performance."

Scott Ginn, Acting Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "I am very encouraged by our first quarter performance as our strong home health admissions and hospice adjusted EBITDA margin improvement outpaced our internal projections. We are on track in our clinical optimization initiatives which benefited the hospice segment in the first quarter but will ultimately benefit all segments as we eliminate administrative processes in our care centers in order to have a singular focus on patient care."

Updated 2023 Guidance

We are updating our previously issued guidance:

Adjusted net service revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $2.254 billion to $2.274 billion.
Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be in the range of $235 million to $245 million.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is anticipated to be in the range of $4.14 to $4.36 based on an estimated 32.8 million shares outstanding.

This guidance excludes the effects of any future acquisitions and potential share repurchases, if any are made.

The foregoing full year 2023 financial guidance excludes the impact of the Company's pending combination with Option Care Health.

We urge caution in considering the current trends and 2023 guidance disclosed in this press release. The home health, hospice and high acuity care industries are highly competitive and subject to intensive regulations, and trends are subject to numerous factors, risks, and uncertainties, some of which are referenced in the cautionary language below and others that are described more fully in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K which can be found on the SEC's internet website, http://www.sec.gov, and our internet website, http://www.amedisys.com.

Earnings Call Information

In a separate press release issued today, Amedisys announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to combine with Option Care Health.

Amedisys and Option Care Health will host an investor call today at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the details of the transaction. Details for such call are available in the separate press release issued today. In light of the transaction announcement, we will forego our previously scheduled first quarter 2023 earnings conference call.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes reconciliations of the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") to non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules are as follows: (1) adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding certain items; (2) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc., defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. excluding certain items; and (3) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. per diluted share, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. common stockholders per diluted share excluding certain items. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful gauges of our current performance and are also included in internal management reporting. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not more meaningful than or as an alternative to the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the company's financial statements. Non-GAAP measures as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures consistently.
