LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ResCare, Inc. (Nasdaq:RSCR) today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 were $396.1 million, a decrease of 2% over the prior year revenues of $405.3 million for the same period in 2009. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $8.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2010, compared with net income attributable to common shareholders of $7.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, in the same period of 2009.  EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 was $26.4 million versus $23.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Ralph G. Gronefeld, Jr., president and chief executive officer, said, "Our performance in the quarter was solid despite the extremely difficult economic environment.  Even with those challenges, our employees are delivering on their commitment to the people we serve and our operations are performing well.  We anticipate that the reimbursement climate will continue to present challenges over the balance of the year and 2011. As noted in our August 4 press release, the realignment of business lines is underway.  This reorganization will better position the Company for future growth as the need for our services continues to grow, presenting ResCare with an increasing array of opportunities."

2010 Guidance

The Company confirmed its 2010 guidance issued on March 8, 2010, including revenues of approximately $1.6 billion and diluted earnings per common share in the range of $1.05 to $1.15.

(1)   EBITDA is defined as net income including noncontrolling interests before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Management routinely calculates and presents EBITDA because it believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. EBITDA is also used in measurements under certain covenants contained in the Company's credit agreement.
