TUCSON, Ariz., May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Providence Service Corporation (Nasdaq: PRSC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
First Quarter 2014 Results
For the first quarter of 2014, the Company reported revenue of $289.4 million, an increase of 2.8% from $281.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Revenue from Providence's Non-emergency Transportation (NET) services segment grew 2.6% to $198.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 from $193.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. The increase was due primarily to overall membership increases and expansion in certain markets and new contracts in Maine and Utah. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the termination of contracts in Wisconsin in 2013 and the transition of the Connecticut contract from "at risk" to "administrative services only." Revenue from the Human Services segment increased 3.4% to $91.3 million from $88.4 million in the first quarter of 2013, primarily related to contributions from the foster care contract in Texas which was fully implemented by the end of the quarter.
Net income was $6.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to net income of $6.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013. Net income in the first quarter of 2014 included approximately $1.8 million in acquisition related costs associated with the pending acquisition of Ingeus Limited, a market leading global employment company. EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2014 was $15.8 million compared to $16.8 million in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2014, which backs out acquisition related fees as well as termination related payments increased 7.8% to $18.1 million compared to $16.8 million in the first quarter of 2013. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is presented below.
The Company had approximately 17.6 million individuals eligible to receive services under its NET Services contracts at March 31, 2014, an increase of 4.6% from approximately 16.8 million at March 31, 2013. Providence's direct Human Services client census at March 31, 2014 was approximately 57,400, up 5.2% from 54,500 at March 31, 2013.
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company generated a total of $7.8 million in cash from operations. At March 31, 2014, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $105.8 million as well as approximately $142.3 million available for borrowing under the 2013 amended and restated senior secured credit facility. Long-term obligations at March 31, 2014 were $123.5 million.
"We finished the first quarter of 2014 with solid financial results," said Warren Rustand, Chief Executive Officer. "Our NET Services segment saw improved margins compared to the first quarter of 2013 as a result of expanded business, favorable transportation utilization rates resulting from inclement weather patterns on the eastern seaboard, negotiated rate adjustments and the exit from certain less profitable markets."
"Our Human Services segment continued to experience revenue growth in the first quarter of 2014 due primarily to the Texas foster care contract that began in 2013. However, reduced client service volumes in several eastern markets due to the same severe weather factors, as well as weak margins in certain other markets, pressured results in the first quarter of 2014. We are aggressively addressing these markets and are committed to a heightened focus on margin improvement over the course of the next several months."
"Looking ahead, we are excited about opportunities for growth in 2014. In addition to a robust pipeline of tuck-in acquisitions that could strengthen our market position in selected geographic domestic markets, we announced an agreement to acquire Australia-based Ingeus Limited. The transaction, anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2014, complements our existing businesses, expands our footprint into new markets, diversifies our customer base, and enhances our workforce development expertise. Over time, this combination will expand our capabilities and reach. What makes us most excited about the combination with Ingeus is the international growth potential in workforce development and the great strategic and cultural fit for our company."

About Providence
The Providence Service Corporation provides or manages the delivery of home and community based human services and NET management services to primarily government sponsored clients under programs such as welfare, juvenile justice, Medicaid and corrections. Providence is unique in that it provides or manages its human services primarily in the client's own home or in community based settings rather than in hospitals or other treatment facilities and provides its NET management services through local transportation providers rather than an owned fleet of vehicles. The Company provides a range of services through its direct entities to approximately 57,400 clients at March 31, 2014, with approximately 17.6 million individuals eligible to receive the Company's non-emergency transportation services. The Company had over $1.1 billion in revenues in 2013.
Non-GAAP Presentation
In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provided throughout this press release, the Company has provided EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measurements. Providence's management utilizes these non-GAAP measurements as a means to measure overall operating performance and to better compare current operating results with other companies within its industry. Details of the excluded items and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are presented in the table below. The non-GAAP measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results. The Company has provided this supplemental non-GAAP information because the Company believes it provides meaningful comparisons of the results of Providence's operations for the periods presented in this press release. The non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by some other companies.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believe," "demonstrate," "expect," "estimate," "forecast," "anticipate," "should" and "likely" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, statements that are not historical should also be considered forward-looking statements. 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. These factors include, but are not limited to, the global credit crisis, capital market conditions, the implementation of the healthcare reform law, state budget changes and legislation and other risks detailed in Providence's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Providence is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update any of the information in this press release if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
