- Income from continuing operations, net of tax, of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share

ATLANTA, May 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Providence Service Corporation (the “Company” or “Providence”) (Nasdaq: PRSC), today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
"The first quarter saw strong revenue growth of 9.2% compared to the first quarter of 2018," stated Carter Pate, Interim Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "During the quarter, the LogistiCare team has been focused on execution. Not only is the Company undergoing a transformation with the substantially completed organization consolidation, the team has also been busy with the integration of Circulation. We are already starting to see early success with several key operational milestones and have received strong customer interest not only within our core Medicaid market where several large payors recently awarded us national contracts, but we are also making headway into adjacent markets including the Medicare Advantage and Healthcare Facilities markets. On the margin side, as is the case usually with the beginning of the year, utilization can be unpredictable driven by a number of seasonal factors. While we saw less inclement weather benefit compared to prior years, we also saw shifts in membership behavior as payors updated their membership lists and covered benefits for the year. These changes can have impacts on overall contract profitability in the short-term. However, once a trend fully emerges we are generally able to bring contractual rates in line with costs. We remind investors that these contract adjustments may take a number of quarters to secure, which is why we believe that the business should be measured over a full year. Related to our minority investment in Matrix, the core in-home assessment business delivered strong results compared to our internal expectations as the Matrix team has been able to drive new logo revenue growth. Overall, we believe Providence is still on target for the year. In terms of our long-term outlook, we remain confident in the value generated from the Circulation acquisition and still expect to achieve run-rate savings of $25 million by the end of next year."
Organizational Consolidation and Change in Segments
Beginning January 1, 2019, as the organizational consolidation was substantially complete, our former Corporate and Other segment was combined with the NET Services segment.
First Quarter 2019 Results
For the first quarter of 2019, the Company reported revenue of $367.8 million, an increase of 9.2% from $336.7 million in the first quarter of 2018.
Operating income was $3.4 million, or 0.9% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $12.1 million, or 3.6% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2018. Income from continuing operations, net of tax, in the first quarter of 2019 was $1.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share, compared to income from continuing operations net of tax of $7.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2018. Income from continuing operations, net of tax, in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018 include restructuring and related charges of $2.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and transactions costs of $1.4 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.2 million, or 3.3% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $17.0 million, or 5.0% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2018.
Adjusted Net Income in the first quarter of 2019 was $6.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share, compared to $10.9 million, or $0.64 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2018.
The quarter-over-quarter increase in revenue was primarily due to a new state contract in West Virginia and new managed care organization ("MCO") contracts in Minnesota and Illinois, higher utilization across multiple not at-risk and reconciliation contracts and the addition of Circulation which contributed $9.4 million of revenue. These increases were partially offset by the impact of contracts we no longer serve, including a state contract in Rhode Island and certain MCO contracts in Louisiana.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased in the first quarter of 2019 due to the impact of increased transportation costs as well as increased utilization across multiple contracts. In addition, the Company benefited from favorable adjustments in the first quarter of 2018, whereas the first quarter of 2019 included fewer favorable one-time negotiated contract adjustments somewhat offsetting higher operational expenses due to inclusion of our Circulation acquisition.
Matrix Investment (Equity Investment)
For the first quarter of 2019, Providence recorded a loss in equity earnings of $1.7 million related to its Matrix Investment compared to a loss of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2018.
As Providence’s interest in Matrix is accounted for as an equity method investment, the following numbers are not included within the Company’s consolidated results of operations. For the first quarter of 2019, Matrix’s revenue was $67.0 million, a decrease of 0.7% from $67.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. Matrix’s operating income was $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to an operating loss of $0.8 million, for the first quarter of 2018.
Matrix's net loss was $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to net loss of $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. Matrix’s Adjusted EBITDA was $14.0 million, or 20.8% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $14.2 million, or 21.1% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2018.
The year-over-year revenue decline for the first quarter of 2019 was related to lower HealthFair mobile visit volume, partially offset by growth in volumes in Matrix's core in-home assessment business. Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower HealthFair revenue, partially offset by the reduction of HealthFair direct costs and higher volume related to Matrix's core in-home assessment business.
As of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, Providence's ownership interest in Matrix was 43.6%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Adjustments
In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company and its segments, and Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the Company, which are performance measures that are not recognized under GAAP. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of taxes, before: (1) interest expense, net, (2) provision (benefit) for income taxes and (3) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before certain items, including (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related charges, including costs related to our corporate reorganization, (2) equity in net loss of investee, (3) certain litigation related expenses, settlement income or other negotiated settlements relating to certain matters from prior periods and (4) certain transaction and related costs. Adjusted Net Income is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, before certain items, including (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) equity in net loss of investee, (3) certain litigation related expenses, settlement income or other negotiated settlements relating to certain matters from prior periods, (4) gain or loss on sale of equity investments, (5) excess tax charges associated with long-term incentive plans, (6) certain transaction and related costs, (7) the income tax impact of such adjustments and (8) asset impairment charges. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income less (as applicable): (1) dividends on convertible preferred stock and (2) income allocated to participating stockholders, divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. We utilize these non-GAAP performance measures, which exclude certain expenses and amounts, because we believe the timing of such expenses is unpredictable and not driven by our core operating results, and therefore render comparisons with prior periods as well as with other companies in our industry less meaningful. We believe such measures allow investors to gain a better understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing operations of our business. We consider our core operations to be the ongoing activities to provide services from which we earn revenue, including direct operating costs and indirect costs to support these activities. In addition, our net loss in equity investee is excluded from these measures, as we do not have the ability to manage these ventures, allocate resources within the ventures, or directly control their operations or performance.
Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
