LAKE FOREST, Calif., Aug. 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apria Healthcare Group Inc. ("Apria" or the "Company"), a quality, cost-efficient provider of home healthcare products and services in the United States, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased primarily due to increased volume in the home infusion therapy segment partially offset by decreased volume in the home respiratory and home medical equipment segment.

Definition of Terms and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes several metrics which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA before projected cost savings and synergies and Free Cash Flow. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA before projected cost savings and synergies and Free Cash Flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be measures of Free Cash Flow available for management's discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA before projected cost savings and synergies and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that such measures provide useful information about our financial condition and covenant compliance under the indenture governing our Series A-2 Notes and the credit agreements governing our ABL Facility and the Senior Secured Term Loan to investors and we compensate for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by presenting them together with GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, loss on early retirement of debt, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense, net, loss on early retirement of debt, provision (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for certain other non-cash items, costs incurred related to initiatives, cost reduction and other adjustment items that are permitted by the covenants included in the indenture governing our Series A-2 Notes and the credit agreements governing our ABL Facility and the Senior Secured Term Loan.
Adjusted EBITDA before projected cost savings and synergies is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less the projected cost savings and synergies that we expect to realize in connection with cost savings, restructuring and other similar initiatives.
Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of patient service equipment and property, equipment and improvements, net of proceeds from the sale of patient service equipment and other, exclusive of effects of acquisitions.
The following tables provide reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA before projected cost savings and synergies and Free Cash Flow for the periods presented to the respective most closely comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
