net loss available to common stockholders of $2.2 million, or ($0.73) per diluted share, for the same period last year, which included IPO related charges. Excluding IPO related charges (see reconciliation), net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $2.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for a year over year gain of $2.6 million. Revenue increased 57% to $67.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $42.9 million for the same period one year ago.
Managed revenue, which represents revenue of the not-for-profit social services organizations the Company manages in return for a negotiated management fee, increased 126% to $35.1 million from $15.5 million for the same quarter one year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, managed revenue increased 84% to $84.5 million from $45.8 million for the same period last year. Managed revenue is presented to provide investors with an additional measure of the size and depth of the operations under Providence’s direction and can help investors understand trends in management fee revenue. Managed client census grew to 13,285 at September 30, 2004 as compared to 7,585 at September 30, 2003. Contracts of managed entities grew from 66 to 111 year over year.
“We are very pleased with our strong third quarter results, particularly given that our largest state, Florida, was hit with four disruptive hurricanes,” commented Fletcher McCusker, Chairman and CEO of Providence. “Our performance was possible largely due to our home and community based delivery model, which enabled our employees to continue to see their clients on all but a few of the worst days. This would not have been possible if we were a facility based provider and is a testament to our flexibility and program delivery model.”
“We also had significant census and contract growth as a result of acquisitions, including our Aspen acquisition, a well as our July 1 new business cycle. In fact, our total direct and managed contracts grew to 301. This strong performance make us confident in our previously issued 2004 calendar year guidance of $93.0 million to $95.0 million of revenue and earnings per share of between $0.71 to $0.73,” McCusker concluded.
Providence will hold a conference call at 11:00 a.m. ET (9:00 a.m. MT, 8:00 a.m. PT) on Tuesday, November 9, 2004. Interested parties are invited to listen to the call live over the Internet atwww.provcorp.com orwww.fulldisclosure.com or by dialing (800) 257-3401. International callers should dial (303) 262-2131.

Providence Service Corporation, through its owned and managed entities, provides home and community based social services to government sponsored clients under programs such as welfare, juvenile justice, Medicaid and corrections.

In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provided throughout this document, we have provided certain non-GAAP measurements, which present our comparative prior year earnings on a pro forma basis excluding certain expenses related to our Initial Public Offering (IPO). Details of the excluded items and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the table below. The non-GAAP measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results. We have provided this supplemental non-GAAP information because we believe it provides meaningful comparisons of the results of our operations for the periods presented in this press release. The non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from pro forma measures used by other companies. The items excluded in the non-GAAP measures pertain to certain items that are considered to be material so that exclusion of the items would, in management’s belief, enhance a reader’s ability to compare the results of our business after excluding these items.
