Paul B. Kusserow, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “I am proud of our third quarter results and the strong execution of our team. We are pleased with the growth trends we are seeing in home health, after experiencing some obstacles in the last few quarters. Our strategies around home health business development hiring, retention and training are delivering the desired results, and now we must continue that momentum. Our hospice segment continues its stellar performance, with 18% revenue growth compared to the third quarter of 2016. Our personal care segment has built out an impressive platform for growth in under two years and has integrated tuck-in acquisitions to fill out its footprint in Massachusetts. Most importantly, our clinical and outcomes metrics continue to improve as we pursue the goal of clinical distinction for our patients, referral sources and payors. On the regulatory side, we are pleased with the CMS decision not to finalize the home health groupings model. While we are supportive of payment reform in home health, we must ensure that any reform is designed such that patient access to home health services is not negatively impacted. Finally, thanks to our team of over 17,000 employees for continuing to provide excellent care to our patients.”

We urge caution in considering the current trends disclosed in this press release. The home health and hospice industry is highly competitive and subject to intensive regulations, and trends are subject to numerous factors, risks, and uncertainties, some of which are referenced in the cautionary language below and others that are described more fully in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form10-Q, and current reports on Form8-K which can be found on the SEC’s internet website,http://www.sec.gov, and our internet website,http://www.amedisys.com.
