ADDUS HOMECARE ANNOUNCES DEFINITIVE

AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE PERSONAL CARE OPERATIONS OF GENTIVA

Company to Add Annualized Revenues of Approximately $280 Million in Seven

States and Enter Texas as the State’s Largest Personal Care Provider

Frisco, Texas (June 10, 2024) – Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a provider of home care services, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire the personal care operations of Gentiva for an anticipated purchase price, after customary purchase price adjustments, of approximately $350 million. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Gentiva is a dedicated hospice, palliative, and personal care services company and the transaction relates only to its personal care operations, which serve over 16,000 patients per day in a seven-state service area of Arizona, Arkansas, California, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Addus expects to close the transaction following completion of regulatory approvals and subject to customary closing conditions. Addus will fund the acquisition through the Company’s existing revolving credit facility.

Commenting on the announcement, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Addus, stated, “We believe this acquisition is a great strategic fit for Addus, and we are excited about the opportunity to expand our personal care market coverage in seven states, including Texas and Missouri, which are new markets for Addus. Notably, Gentiva is the largest provider of personal care services in the state of Texas, where we currently have no personal care operations. This acquisition fits squarely into our growth strategy to leverage our strong personal care experience to build scale in existing markets as well as enter select new markets where we can immediately establish a significant presence. Founded in 1999, Gentiva has an established reputation for quality, compassionate care, and we will continue this important work through our proven operating model. We look forward to working with the experienced operational leadership team and clinical staff in Gentiva’s personal care operations, who share our mission to provide safe, cost-effective care in the preferred home setting.

“The Gentiva personal care operations have annualized revenues of approximately $280.0 million, and we expect this transaction to be accretive to our financial results. Importantly, after funding this acquisition, Addus will still maintain a leverage ratio of less than three times, with the ability to quickly reduce our leverage through the additional expected cash flow,” said Allison.

David Causby, Chief Executive Officer of Gentiva, added, “A recognized leader in personal care services, Addus is the right home for our personal care division and our teammates who provide care to these important clients. This will ensure continued growth for that segment under proven leadership and will allow us to sharpen our focus on our industry-leading core hospice and palliative businesses, where we have the greatest opportunity to deliver the compassionate care that defines who we are, to those who need us the most.”

Allison added, “Acquisitions remain an important part of our growth strategy, and we will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions that meet our criteria and are accretive to our operations. Fortunately, our strong capital structure supports our strategy, and we look forward to additional opportunities ahead for Addus.”
