"We are pleased to report our first complete quarter that includes the results of Ingeus, which comprises our new Workforce Development Services segment," said Warren Rustand, Chief Executive Officer.  "The integration of Ingeus is proceeding as planned and we continue to pursue new opportunities for international expansion."

"In our legacy operations, our NET Services segment continues to produce increases in revenue while preserving favorable margins.  In our Human Services segment, we are focusing on increasing our margins in certain markets.  This initiative has resulted in our exit from the Texas foster care contract during the third quarter.  We intend to continue to make additional progress in the quarters ahead."

"In addition, during the third quarter of 2014 we entered into an agreement to acquire Matrix, a leading provider of health risk assessments, which we closed on October 23, 2014.  We are excited to enter the Medicare Advantage market and believe our combined scale and collective capabilities will allow us to deliver even greater value to our patients, payers, and providers."

About Providence
Providence is a Tucson, Arizona-based company that provides and manages government sponsored human services, innovative global employment services and non-emergency transportation services. It offers: (1) non-emergency transportation management services to state Medicaid programs, local government agencies, hospital systems, health maintenance organizations, private managed care organizations and commercial insurers, as well as to individuals with limited mobility, people with limited means of transportation, people with disabilities and Medicaid members (2) home- and community-based counseling services, which include home-based and intensive home-based counseling, workforce development, substance abuse treatment services, school support services and correctional services; (3) foster care and therapeutic foster care services; (4) case management, referral and monitoring services; and (5) social improvement, employment and welfare services to various international government bodies and corporations.  Providence is unique in that it provides and manages its human services primarily in the client's own home or in community based settings, rather than in hospitals or treatment facilities and provides its non-emergency transportation 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 and 232,000 human services and workforce development services clients, respectively, with approximately 20.7 million individuals eligible to receive the Company's non-emergency transportation services.  Its workforce development services include nearly 180 delivery sites spanning 10 countries.

Non-GAAP Presentation
In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. 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 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. 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.
