ResCare Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results

20:20 EDT Thursday, August 07, 2008

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Business Wire) -- ResCare (NASDAQ: RSCR) today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2008 increased 6.2% over the prior year period to $385.4 million. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share, which included a charge of $24.4 million ($14.9 million, net of tax, or $0.45 per diluted common share). This charge resulted from the previously announced increase in legal reserves for adverse developments in four lawsuits. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007 was $10.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share.

Ralph G. Gronefeld, Jr., president and chief executive officer, said, "I am pleased with our core operating results during the quarter as we achieved revenue growth in virtually all of our business segments with significant contribution from our Employment Training Services unit, driven by performance incentives and new contracts. Although the legal charge had a negative impact on the second quarter 2008 results, the lawsuits do not affect core business operations or our acquisition strategy. Thanks to the strength of our operations' leadership and commitment from our employees, our underlying business fundamentals were positive in the second quarter, despite a weak economic environment nationally."

In closing, Mr. Gronefeld added, "We will continue to invest in our service lines through strategic acquisitions to build our core businesses such as the acquisition of Caregivers Home Health, which closed in early July 2008."

Guidance for Balance of 2008

The Company is providing guidance for the second half of 2008 for diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations in a range of $0.70 to $0.74 and revenues of $790 million to $825 million. The guidance assumes no reimbursement rate changes for the balance of 2008.
