Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Nature of Operations, Consolidation, and Presentation of Financial Statements

Addus HomeCare Corporation (“Holdings”) and its subsidiaries (together with Holdings, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operate as a multi-state provider of three distinct but related business segments providing in-home services. In its personal care services segment, the Company provides non-medical assistance with activities of daily living, primarily to persons who are at increased risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill or disabled. In its hospice segment, the Company provides physical, emotional and spiritual care for people who are terminally ill as well as related services for their families. In its home health segment, the Company provides services that are primarily medical in nature to individuals who may require assistance during an illness or after hospitalization and include skilled nursing and physical, occupational and speech therapy. The Company’s payors include federal, state and local governmental agencies, managed care organizations, commercial insurers and private individuals.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 previously filed with the SEC. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and disclosures not included herein.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for the fair statement of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented in conformity with GAAP. Our results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.

Principles of Consolidation

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Addus HomeCare Corporation, and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates

The financial statements are prepared by management in conformity with GAAP and include estimated amounts and certain disclosures based on assumptions about future events. The Company’s critical accounting estimates include revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowances and goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Diluted Net Income Per Common Share

Diluted net income per common share, calculated on the treasury stock method, is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s outstanding securities that may potentially dilute the common stock are stock options and restricted stock awards.

As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, dilutive stock options outstanding were approximately 523,000 and 650,000, respectively, and dilutive restricted stock awards outstanding were approximately 149,000 and 147,000, respectively.

Included in the Company’s calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, dilutive stock options outstanding were approximately 301,000 and 303,000, respectively. In addition, dilutive restricted stock awards outstanding were approximately 38,000 and 58,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Included in the Company’s calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, were approximately 359,000 and 335,000 dilutive stock options outstanding, respectively. In addition, dilutive restricted stock awards outstanding were approximately 78,000 and 81,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under the new standard, entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income are to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. An allowance for credit losses will be a valuation account that will be deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. We have reviewed our provision for doubtful accounts process as required by ASU 2016-13. Management estimates allowances on accounts receivable based upon historical experience and other factors, including an aging of accounts receivable, evaluation of expected adjustments, past adjustments and collection experience in relation to amounts billed, current contract and reimbursement terms, shifts in payors and other current relevant information. The Company recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.8 million and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or liquidity.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on the current Step 1). Adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or liquidity.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 requires customers in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. Adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or liquidity.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 intends to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes and removes certain exceptions to the general guidance in ASC 740. In addition, the ASU clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application of its requirements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the new standard is not expected to have an impact on our results of operations or liquidity.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, and other transactions subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Therefore, it will be in effect for a limited time through December 31, 2022. The ASU can be adopted no later than December 1, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

3. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with management finalizing their financial reporting close process for the year ended December 31, 2019, management identified certain immaterial errors impacting the current period and previous periods dating back to periods prior to 2017, including interim periods within those years. Specifically, management determined there were certain errors in the information utilized to accurately estimate the implicit price concessions necessary to reduce net service revenues to the amount expected to be collected. Accordingly, management determined that our accounts receivable allowance was understated. The correction reflects the impact on the Company’s income tax provision and related accounts as a result of correcting for the error as discussed above. Additionally, the Company identified and corrected other immaterial unrelated income tax items impacting deferred tax assets and other immaterial items.

Management evaluated the impact of the errors on all previously issued financial statements and concluded such previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated; however, to reflect such corrections in the quarter ended December 31, 2019 financial statements would materially misstate the 2019 fiscal year. Accordingly, management revised previously issued financial statements to correct for the impact of the errors. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been revised from the amounts previously reported to correct these immaterial errors as shown in the tables below and are reflected throughout the financial statements and related notes, as applicable.

4. Leases

We have historically entered into operating leases for local branches, our corporate headquarters and certain equipment. The Company’s current leases have expiration dates through 2031. Certain of our arrangements have free rent periods and/or escalating rent payment provisions. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of the Company’s leases include termination options and renewal options for periods ranging from one to five years. Because we are not reasonably certain to exercise these renewal options, the options generally are not considered in determining the lease term, and payments associated with the option years are excluded from lease payments.

When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

Amounts reported in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020 and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019 for our operating leases were as follows:

	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019

5. Acquisitions

The Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, and the resulting goodwill and other intangible assets were accounted for under ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under business combination accounting, the assets and liabilities are generally recognized at their fair values and the difference between the consideration transferred, excluding transaction costs, and the fair values of the assets and liabilities is recognized as goodwill. The results of each business acquisition are included on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of the acquisition.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 31, 2018, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2018, with certain lenders and Capital One, National Association, as a lender and as agent for all lenders (as amended by the Amendment (as hereinafter defined), the “Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the Company’s existing credit agreement. This credit facility totaled $269.6 million, inclusive of a $250.0 million revolving loan and a $19.6 million delayed draw term loan, and is evidenced by the Credit Agreement. This credit facility amended and restated the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility totaling $250.0 million. As used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “credit facility” shall mean the credit facility evidenced by the Credit Agreement. The maturity of this credit facility is May 8, 2023. Interest on the Company’s credit facility may be payable at (x) the sum of (i) an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio plus (ii) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate,” (b) the sum of the federal funds rate plus a margin of 0.50% and (c) the sum of the adjusted LIBOR that would be applicable to a loan with an interest period of one month advanced on the applicable day (not to be less than 0.00%) plus a margin of 1.00% or (y) the sum of (i) an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio plus (ii) the offered rate per annum for similar dollar deposits for the applicable interest period that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (not to be less than zero). Swing loans may not be LIBOR loans. The availability of additional draws under this credit facility is conditioned, among other things, upon (after giving effect to such draws) the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not exceeding 3.75:1.00. In certain circumstances, in connection with a Material Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Company can elect to increase its Total Net Leverage Ratio compliance covenant to 4.25:1.00 for the then current fiscal quarter and the three succeeding fiscal quarters. In connection with this amended and restated credit facility, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of debt issuance costs.

Addus HealthCare, Inc. (“Addus HealthCare”) is the borrower, and its parent, Holdings, and substantially all of Holdings’ subsidiaries are guarantors under this amended and restated credit facility, and it is collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s and the other credit parties’ current and future tangible and intangible assets, including the shares of stock of the borrower and subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company with respect to liens, indebtedness, guaranties, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions and dispositions of assets.

On September 12, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement. The Amendment increased the Company’s credit facility by $50.0 million in incremental revolving loans, for an aggregate $300.0 million in revolving loans. The Amendment provides that future incremental loans may be for term loans or an increase to the revolving loan commitments. The Amendment further provides that the proceeds of the incremental revolving loan commitments may be used for, among other things, general corporate purposes. In connection with the modification of this Amendment, the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million of debt issuance costs.

The Company pays a fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio times the unused portion of the revolving loan portion of the amended and restated credit facility.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants regarding, among other things, the maintenance of records, compliance with laws, maintenance of permits, maintenance of insurance and property and payment of taxes. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary financial covenants and negative covenants that, among other things, include a requirement to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a requirement to stay below a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a requirement to stay below a maximum permitted amount of capital expenditures, as well as restrictions on guarantees, indebtedness, liens, investments and loans, subject to customary carve outs, a restriction on dividends (provided that Addus HealthCare may make distributions to the Company in an amount that does not exceed $7.5 million in any year absent of an event of default, plus limited exceptions for tax and administrative distributions), a restriction on the ability to consummate acquisitions (without the consent of the lenders) under its credit facility subject to compliance with the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement thresholds), restrictions on mergers, dispositions of assets, and affiliate transactions, and restrictions on fundamental changes and lines of business. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

9. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates are 23.6% and 24.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the difference between our federal statutory and effective income tax rates was principally due to the inclusion of state taxes and non-deductible compensation, partially offset by an excess tax benefit and the use of federal employment tax credits.

The effective income tax rates are 20.5% and 21.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the difference between our federal statutory and effective income tax rates was principally due to the inclusion of an excess tax benefit and the use of federal employment tax credits partially offset by state taxes and non-deductible compensation. The excess tax benefit is a discrete item, related to the vesting of equity shares, which requires the Company to recognize the benefit fully in the period. An excess tax benefit results if the Company’s income tax deduction exceeds the cumulative costs of the award recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to legal and/or administrative proceedings incidental to our business. It is the opinion of management that the outcome of pending legal and/or administrative proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Government Actions to Mitigate COVID-19’s Impact

On January 31, 2020, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) declared a national public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus.

This disease has spread throughout the United States and other parts of the world, and COVID-19 cases have recently been increasing in the United States and Europe. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as the situation continues to rapidly evolve.

The payroll tax deferral requires that the deferred payroll taxes be paid over two years, with half of the amount required to be paid by December 31, 2021 and the other half by December 31, 2022. The Company elected to defer payroll taxes during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and ceased the deferral election effective June 30, 2020. The Company deferred $7.1 million of payroll taxes, which are included in accrued expenses in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2020.

11. Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers, to assess the performance of the individual segments and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments. The Company operates as a multi-state provider of three distinct but related business segments providing in-home services.

In its personal care segment, the Company provides non-medical assistance with activities of daily living, primarily to persons who are at increased risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill or disabled. In its hospice segment, the Company provides physical, emotional and spiritual care for people who are terminally ill as well as related services for their families. In its home health segment, the Company provides services that are primarily medical in nature to individuals who may require assistance during an illness or after hospitalization and include skilled nursing and physical, occupational and speech therapy.

The tables below set forth information about the Company’s reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Segment assets are not reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker function and therefore are not disclosed below.

Segment operating income consists of revenue generated by a segment, less the direct costs of service revenues and general and administrative expenses that are incurred directly by the segment. Unallocated general and administrative costs are those costs for functions performed in a centralized manner and therefore not attributable to a particular segment. These costs include accounting, finance, human resources, legal, information technology, corporate office support and facility costs and overall corporate management.

A substantial portion of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivable are derived from services performed for federal, state and local governmental agencies. We derive a significant amount of our net service revenues in Illinois, which represented 38.5%, and 36.4% of our net service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively and accounted for 37.8% and 39.1% of our net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Illinois Department on Aging, the largest payor program for the Company’s Illinois personal care operations, accounted for 22.9% and 22.1% of the Company’s net service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and accounted for 23.1% and 26.0% of the Company’s net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The related receivables due from the Illinois Department on Aging represented 18.5% and 25.1% of the Company’s net accounts receivable at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

13. Subsequent Events

On November 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of County Homemakers Incorporated (“County Homemakers”) for approximately $14.6 million, with funding provided by cash on hand. With the purchase of County Homemakers, we expanded our personal care services in the state of Pennsylvania. The Company is currently assessing the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.

Overview

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been revised to correct prior period errors as discussed in Note 3, “Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Note 2, “Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements” and Note 17, “Unaudited Summarized Quarterly Financial Information” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8—“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019, filed on August 10, 2020. Accordingly, this MD&A reflects the impact of those revisions.

We are a home care services provider operating in three segments: personal care, hospice, and home health. Our services are provided in-home under agreements with federal, state and local government agencies, managed care organizations, commercial insurers and private individuals. Our consumers are predominantly “dual eligible,” meaning they are eligible to receive both Medicare and Medicaid benefits. Managed care revenues accounted for 38.0% and 41.4% of our revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 38.5% and 38.0% of our revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, we provided our services in 24 states through 193 offices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we served approximately 59,000 and 57,000 discrete individuals, respectively. Our personal care segment also includes staffing services, with clients including assisted living facilities, nursing homes and hospice facilities.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On January 31, 2020, the HHS Secretary declared a national public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, the disease caused by this novel coronavirus, a pandemic. This disease has spread throughout the United States and other parts of the world, with a recent increase in cases in the United States and Europe. State and local governments, together with public health officials, have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including closures of and limitations on public facilities, parks, schools, restaurants, many businesses and other locations of public assembly. As a result, COVID-19 has significantly affected overall economic conditions in the United States. Although many of the restrictions have eased across the country, some areas are re-imposing closures and other restrictions as a result of increasing rates of COVID-19 infection. The FDA continues to facilitate the development of therapeutics to combat COVID-19 as well as provide oversight for the development of a vaccine. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last, how many people are likely to be affected by it or the duration or types of restrictions that will be imposed or re-imposed as the situation is continuously evolving. For that reason, we are unable to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on our business at this time.

We continue to monitor the impacts on our operations, and have taken precautions intended to minimize the risk to our employees and patients. We have created a COVID-19 Response Team that is responsible for creating and communicating policy, training and the latest COVID-19 updates to all employees. Most employees in our headquarters in Frisco, TX, and in Downers’ Grove, IL, continue to work remotely, and do not believe this arrangement has had a material impact on our ability to maintain business operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, COVID-19 related costs were approximately $2.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, which were mostly offset by temporary rate increases from certain payors, in our personal care segment, of $1.8 million and $3.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, $3.0 million of payments received from payors for COVID-19 reimbursements have been recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized as we incur related expenses on behalf of the payor. Three of our primary markets, New Mexico, New York and Illinois, have been significantly affected by the pandemic, with high numbers of cases reported. However, relevant authorities have universally designated our services as “essential services,” exempting our services and service providers from many of the restrictions described above. In addition, the impact of the restrictions on the Company’s operations for our consumer population has been minimal. For example, in our personal care services segment, we provide non-medical assistance with activities of daily living, primarily to persons who are at increased risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill or disabled. Most of these consumers are largely confined to their homes, and a significant number of our caregivers provide services to only one consumer, often a family member. We have implemented several new procedures to further reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, including a new screening process for both the caregiver and the consumer and the expansion of the use of personal protective equipment from our hospice and home health segments to include our personal care segment. We are not able to reasonably predict the total amount of costs we will incur related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and such costs could be substantial. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, older adults and people with certain underlying medical conditions are at a higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19.

Prior to the widespread impacts of COVID-19, the primary limitation on our growth had been the difficulty to attract and retain sufficient caregivers in an environment of very low unemployment rates. Under the CARES Act, all states provide 13 additional weeks of federally funded Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Assistance benefits to people who exhaust their regular state benefits, followed by additional weeks of federally funded unemployment benefits in states with high unemployment (up to 13 or 20 weeks depending on state laws). With the widespread adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hospitality and other labor-intensive industries, we believe we will have an opportunity to increase our hiring of new caregivers. However, in the near term, the enhanced unemployment benefits offered by several states have suppressed the opportunity to tap into this new pool of potential caregivers in these states. For example in September 2020, the state of New York announced the Lost Wages Assistance (“LWA”) program, which provides an additional $300 in weekly benefits to unemployed individuals.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had limited impact on our reimbursements. Although we experienced some consumers suspending their personal care services due to health concerns, many of these consumers resumed our services within weeks. This reduction was partially offset by an increase in demand for our services by patients recovering from COVID-19 who have been released from the hospital but are still suffering lingering effects of the virus.

The economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic pose significant risks to states’ budgets for the 2021 fiscal year, which began July 1 in most states. Depending on the severity and length of a downturn, sales tax collections and income tax withholdings could continue to be depressed in fiscal 2021 and, potentially, future fiscal years. States could face significant fiscal challenges and may have no choice but to revise

Table of Contents

their revenue forecasts and adjust their budgets for fiscal 2021 and, potentially, future fiscal years, accordingly. Indeed, Illinois, New York and New Mexico, our top three markets, have revised revenue estimates down for the 2021 fiscal year. In New York, which started its fiscal year April 1, the state comptroller recently estimated that the state would collect at least $10 billion less than originally forecasted, the first year-to-year cut since 2011. The current New York fiscal plan authorizes the state of New York to issue up to $8 billion in short-term bonds to provide funds in case of reduced revenues during the fiscal year. The state issued $1.1 billion of bonds on October 28, 2020. The New York fiscal plan also allows two state authorities to provide the state with a $3 billion line of credit in the new fiscal year. Congress could provide additional relief with additional stimulus and relief legislation, including extension of unemployment benefits and relief for states. We cannot determine the impact that COVID-19 may have on states budgets for 2021 or beyond, however, such impacts could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

At September 30, 2020, we had $170.3 million of cash on hand and $219.0 million of available, unused committed capacity under our credit facility. Our credit facility requires us to maintain a total net leverage ratio not exceeding 3.75:1.00. As of September 30, 2020, our total net leverage ratio was zero. Although we believe our liquidity position remains strong, we can provide no assurance that we will remain in compliance with the covenants in our Credit Agreement, and in the future, it may prove necessary to seek an amendment with the bank lending group under our credit facility. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of financial and capital markets, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is fluid and continues to evolve, and, therefore, we cannot currently predict with certainty the extent to which our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity will ultimately be impacted. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the related financial effect cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is not expected to materially adversely impact our business. See “Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors—The COVID-19 pandemic could negatively affect our operations, business and financial condition, and our liquidity could also be negatively impacted, particularly if the U.S. economy remains unstable for a significant amount of time” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019, filed on August 10, 2020.

In recognition of the significant threat to the liquidity of financial markets posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve and Congress have taken dramatic actions to provide liquidity to businesses and the banking system in the U.S. For example, on March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the CARES Act, a sweeping stimulus bill intended to bolster the U.S. economy. On April 24, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (“PPPHCE Act”) was enacted, an expansion of the CARES Act. Together, the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act authorize $175 billion in funding to be distributed to health care providers through the Relief Fund. This funding is intended to support healthcare providers by reimbursing them for healthcare-related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. In addition to relief funding, the CARES Act includes temporary changes to Medicare and Medicaid payment rules and relief from certain accounting provisions. There can be no assurance that these governmental interventions will ultimately be successful or that any future interventions will prove successful, and the financial markets may experience significant contractions in available liquidity. In April 2020, we received grants in an aggregate principal amount of $6.9 million, for which we did not apply, from the Relief Fund as part of the automatic general distributions by HHS. The Company returned these funds in June 2020. While we may receive further financial, tax or other relief and other benefits under and as a result of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and other stimulus measures, it is not possible to estimate at this time the need, availability, extent or impact of any such relief.

Acquisitions

In addition to our organic growth, we have grown through acquisitions that have expanded our presence in current markets or facilitated our entry into new markets where in-home care has been moving to managed care organizations.

On June 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of VIP for approximately $29.9 million. With the purchase of VIP, we expanded our personal care services in the state of New York and into the New York City metropolitan area. We funded this acquisition through the delayed draw term loan portion of our credit facility and cash on hand.

On August 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Alliance for approximately $23.5 million. Additionally, we acquired the assets of Foremost Home Care (“Foremost”) for approximately $1.4 million. We funded these acquisitions through a combination of our revolving credit facility and available cash. With the purchase of Alliance, we expanded our personal care, home health and hospice operations in the state of New Mexico. The addition of Foremost will support our growth strategy in the New York City market area.

On October 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Hospice Partners for approximately $135.6 million. We funded the acquisition with a portion of the net proceeds of our Public Offering. With the purchase of Hospice Partners, we expanded our hospice operations through 21 locations in Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, Oregon, Texas and Virginia. Hospice Partners also launched a palliative care program in Texas in 2018.

On July 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of A Plus for approximately $12.2 million plus the amount of excess cash held by A Plus at closing (approximately $2.8 million), with funding provided by cash on hand. With the purchase of A Plus, we expanded our personal care services in the state of Montana.

On November 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of County Homemakers for approximately $14.6 million, with funding provided by cash on hand. With the purchase of County Homemakers, we expanded our personal care services in the state of Pennsylvania. The Company is currently assessing the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.

Revenue by Payor and Significant States

Our payor clients are principally federal, state and local governmental agencies and managed care organizations. The federal, state and local programs under which the agencies operate are subject to legislative, budgetary and other risks that can influence reimbursement rates. We are experiencing a transition of business from government payors to managed care organizations, which we believe aligns with our emphasis on coordinated care and the reduction of the need for acute care.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our revenue by payor and significant states by segment were as follows:

We derive a significant amount of our net service revenues in Illinois, which represented 38.5% and 36.4% of our net service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and accounted for 37.8% and 39.1% of our net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

A significant amount of our revenue is derived from one payor client, the Illinois Department on Aging, the largest payor program for our Illinois personal care operations, which accounted for 22.9% and 22.1% of our net service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and accounted for 23.1% and 26.0% of the Company’s net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Illinois Department on Aging’s payments for non-Medicaid consumers have been delayed in the past and may continue to be delayed in the future due to budget disputes. The state of Illinois did not adopt comprehensive budgets for fiscal years 2016 or 2017, ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, respectively. On July 6, 2017, the state of Illinois passed a budget for the state fiscal year 2018, which began on July 1, 2017, authorizing the Illinois Department on Aging to pay for our services rendered to non-Medicaid consumers provided in prior fiscal years. On June 4, 2018, the state of Illinois passed a budget for state fiscal year 2019, which began on July 1, 2018. On June 6, 2019, the state of Illinois passed a budget for state fiscal year 2020, which began on July 1, 2019. On June 10, 2020, the state of Illinois passed a budget for the state fiscal year 2021, which will take effect July 1, 2020. In December 2014, the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance that, over a period of years, raised the minimum wage for Chicago workers, resulting in an increase equal to $13 per hour on July 1, 2019, with increases adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index in subsequent years. On November 26, 2019, the Chicago City Council voted to approve additional increases in the Chicago minimum wage to $14 per hour beginning July 1, 2020 and to $15 per hour beginning July 1, 2021.

The State of Illinois finalized its fiscal year 2020 budget with the inclusion of an appropriation to raise in-home care rates to offset the costs of previous minimum wage increases in Chicago and other areas of the state that were imposed beginning on July 1, 2018. These rates were originally set to be effective July 1, 2019, with in-home care rates to be initially increased by 10.9% to $20.28 from $18.29 to partially offset the costs of the minimum wage hikes. Rates were then further increased on January 1, 2020 by an additional 7.7% to $21.84, providing full funding for both the Chicago minimum wage increases and a statewide raise for all current in-home caregivers.

On November 15, 2019, the State of Illinois received and announced official CMS approval for both rate increases, with the first increase to be effective on December 1, 2019, and the second increase to be effective on January 1, 2020. In addition, the Illinois Department on Aging, in conjunction with Illinois’ Health Care and Family Services, announced that the new rates would become effective retroactive to July 1, 2019 for services covered by managed care organizations. On January 15, 2020, the Department on Aging announced confirmation that a one-time bonus payment would be paid to providers who have provided services to clients not enrolled in a managed care organization, for the time period of July 1, 2019 through November 30, 2019 using an updated hourly rate of $20.28. The bonus payment of $6.8 million was recognized as net service revenues as of December 31, 2019.

On June 10, 2020, the State of Illinois finalized its fiscal year 2021 budget, with in-home care rates to be increased by 7.1% to $23.40 from $21.84, effective January 1, 2021, contingent upon federal CMS approval.

Our business will benefit from the rate increases noted above, but there is no assurance that additional offsetting rate increases will be adopted in Illinois for fiscal years beyond fiscal year 2020, and our financial performance will be adversely impacted for any periods in which an additional offsetting reimbursement rate increase is not in effect.

Impact of Changes in Medicare and Medicaid Reimbursement

Home Health

In June 2019, CMS began the Review Choice Demonstration for Home Health Services demonstration in Illinois to identify and prevent fraud, reduce the number of Medicare appeals, and improve provider compliance with Medicare program requirements. The Review Choice Demonstration began phasing in home health agencies in Ohio and Texas in August 2018 and January 2020, respectively. Home health agencies may initially select from the following claims review and approval processes: pre-claim review, post-payment review, or a minimal post-payment review with a 25% payment reduction. Home health agencies that maintain high compliance levels will be eligible for additional, less burdensome options. In March 2020, CMS paused certain claims processing requirements for the Review Choice Demonstration due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CMS announced that it would discontinue exercising enforcement discretion beginning in August 2020, regardless of the status of the public health emergency, and also began phasing in home health agencies in North Carolina and Florida. Following the resumption of the demonstration, MACs will conduct post-payment review on claims that were submitted and paid during the pause. We are currently unable to predict what impact, if any, this program may have on our result of operations or financial position.

Home health services provided to Medicare beneficiaries are paid under the Medicare Home Health Prospective Payment System (“HHPPS”). Historically, the HHPPS was based on 60-day episodes of care and used a case-mix system that relied on the number of visits to determine payment. Effective January 1, 2020, CMS began using a 30-day episode of care for home health payments and implemented the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (“PDGM”) as part of the shift toward value-based care. The PDGM classifies patients based on clinical characteristics and other patient information into payment categories and eliminates the use of therapy service thresholds. Also effective January 1, 2020, CMS finalized a policy allowing therapy assistants to provide maintenance therapy services in the home and modified certain requirements relating to the home health plan of care.

CMS updates the HHPPS payment rates each calendar year. Effective January 1, 2020, HHPPS rates increased by 1.3%, which reflects a 1.5% payment update as mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, offset by a 0.2 percentage point decrease in payments to home health agencies due to changes in the rural add-on percentages also mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, among other adjustments. CMS requires both home health and hospice providers to submit quality reporting data each year. Home health providers that do not comply are subject to a 2 percentage point reduction to their market basket update.

Historically, CMS has paid home health providers 50% to 60% of anticipated payment at the beginning of a patient’s care episode through a request for anticipated payment (“RAP”). However, to address potential program integrity risks, CMS is currently phasing out RAP payments. For calendar year 2020, CMS reduced RAP payments to 20% of the anticipated payment and limited those payments to existing home health providers. In calendar year 2021, CMS will not provide any up-front payments in response to a RAP but will continue to require home health providers to submit streamlined RAPs as notice that a beneficiary is under a home health period of care. CMS will further reduce the administrative burden on providers in calendar year 2022, replacing the RAP with a “Notice of Admission.”

Hospice

Hospice services provided to Medicare beneficiaries are paid under the Medicare Hospice Prospective Payment System, under which CMS sets a daily rate for each day a patient is enrolled in the hospice benefit. CMS updates these rates each fiscal year. Effective October 1, 2020, CMS increased hospice payment rates by 2.4%. This reflected a 2.4% market basket increase reduced by the multifactor productivity adjustment of 0.04 percentage points as required by the ACA. Additionally, the aggregate cap, which limits the total Medicare reimbursement that a hospice may receive based on an annual per-beneficiary cap amount and the number of Medicare patients served, was updated to $30,683.93 for fiscal year 2021. This amount reflects the hospice payment update of 2.4%. If a hospice’s Medicare payments exceed its aggregate cap, it must repay Medicare the excess amount.

COVID-19 Relief

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, federal and state governments have passed legislation, promulgated regulations, and taken other administrative actions intended to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 patients and other patients during the public health emergency. These temporary measures include relief from Medicare conditions of participation requirements for healthcare providers, relaxation of licensure requirements for healthcare professionals, relaxation of privacy restrictions for telehealth remote communications, promoting use of telehealth by expanding the scope of services for which Medicare reimbursement is available, and limited waivers of fraud and abuse laws for activities related to COVID-19 during the emergency period. The current federal public health emergency declaration expires January 21, 2021. The HHS Secretary may renew the declaration for successive 90-day periods for as long as the emergency continues to exist and may terminate the declaration whenever he determines that the emergency no longer exists.

One of the primary sources of relief for healthcare providers is the CARES Act, which was expanded by the PPPHCE Act. Together, the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act include $175 billion in funding to be distributed through the Relief Fund to eligible providers, including public entities and Medicare- and/or Medicaid-enrolled providers. Relief Fund payments are intended to compensate healthcare providers for lost revenues and health care related expenses incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not required to be repaid, provided that recipients attest to and comply with certain terms and conditions, including limitations on balance billing and not using funds received from the Relief Fund to reimburse expenses or losses that other sources are obligated to reimburse. In April 2020, the Company received grants in an aggregate principal amount of $6.9 million, for which it did not apply, from the Relief Fund as part of the automatic general distributions by HHS. The Company returned these funds in June 2020.

In addition, the CARES Act expands the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to increase cash flow to providers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospice and home health providers were able to request an advance or accelerated payment of up to 100% of the Medicare payment amount for a three-month period (not including Medicare Advantage payments). Effective October 8, 2020, CMS is no longer accepting applications for accelerated or advance payments. The Medicare Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program payments are a loan that providers must pay back. Recoupment of these payments was due to begin in August, but CMS has delayed the recoupment process for these payments, based on amended repayment terms imposed by the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Others Extension Act, enacted October 1, 2020, until one year after payment was issued. Beginning one year from the date payment was issued and continuing for eleven months, Medicare payments owed to providers and suppliers will be recouped at a rate of 25%. After the eleven months end, Medicare payments owed to providers and suppliers will be recouped at a rate of 50% for another six months. After the six months end, a letter for any remaining balance will be issued. If the remaining balance is not paid within thirty days, interest will accrue at a rate of 4%.

The CARES Act also includes other provisions offering financial relief, for example temporarily lifting the Medicare sequester from May 1 through December 31, 2020, which would have otherwise reduced payments to Medicare providers by 2% (but also extending sequestration through 2030). The Medicare sequester relief resulted in an increase of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, to home health net service

revenues and $0.5 million and $0.8 million to hospice net service revenues, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Due to the recent enactment of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and other enacted legislation, there is still a high degree of uncertainty surrounding their implementation. Further, the federal government is considering additional stimulus measures, federal agencies continue to issue related regulations and guidance, and the public health emergency continues to evolve. We continue to assess the potential impact of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and other laws, regulations, and guidance related to COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Components of our Statements of Income

Net Service Revenues

We generate net service revenues by providing our services directly to consumers and primarily on an hourly basis. We receive payment for providing such services from our payor clients, including federal, state and local governmental agencies, managed care organizations, commercial insurers and private consumers. Net service revenues are principally provided based on authorized hours, determined by the relevant agency, at an hourly rate which is either contractual or fixed by legislation and are recognized at the time services are rendered. We also record estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect.

Cost of Service Revenues

We incur direct care wages, payroll taxes and benefit-related costs in connection with providing our services. We also provide workers’ compensation and general liability coverage for our employees.

Employees are also reimbursed for their travel time and related travel costs in certain instances.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses include our costs for operating our network of local agencies and our administrative offices. Our agency expenses consist of costs for supervisory personnel, our community care supervisors and office administrative costs. Personnel costs include wages, payroll taxes and employee benefits. Facility costs include rents, utilities, and postage, telephone and office expenses. Our support center expenses include costs for accounting, information systems, human resources, billing and collections, contracting, marketing and executive leadership. These expenses consist of compensation, including stock-based compensation, payroll taxes, employee benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees, travel, general insurance, rents, provision for doubtful accounts and related facility costs. Expenses related to streamlining our operations such as costs related to terminated employees, termination of professional services relationships, other contract termination costs and asset write-offs are also included in general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciable assets consist principally of furniture and equipment, network administration and telephone equipment, and operating system software. Depreciable and leasehold assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line method over their useful lives or, if less and if applicable, their lease terms. We amortize our intangible assets with finite lives, consisting of customer and referral relationships, trade names, trademarks and non-competition agreements, principally using accelerated methods based upon their estimated useful lives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is reported in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when incurred and consists of (i) interest and unused credit line fees on our credit facility and (ii) interest on our financing lease obligations.

Income Tax Expense

All of our income is from domestic sources. We incur state and local taxes in states in which we operate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective income tax rate was 23.6% and 24.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the difference between our federal statutory and effective income tax rates was principally due to the inclusion of state taxes and non-deductible compensation, partially offset by an excess tax benefit and the use of federal employment tax credits.

The effective income tax rates are 20.5% and 21.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the difference between our federal statutory and effective income tax rates was principally due to the inclusion of an excess tax benefit and the use of federal employment tax credits, partially offset by state taxes and non-deductible compensation. The excess tax benefit is a discrete item, related to the vesting of equity shares, which requires us to recognize the benefit fully in the period. An excess tax benefit results if the Company’s income tax deduction exceeds the cumulative costs of the award recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The increase was due to an increase in same store growth of 4.8% and a 7.7% increase in revenues per billable hour for the three months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by a decrease in average billable census of 1.9% in our personal care segment. In addition, revenue increased by $13.1 million from our hospice segment during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, partially attributed to the fiscal year 2019 acquisitions of Hospice Partners and Alliance.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, increased to 29.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 26.7% for the same period in 2019. The increase was mainly attributed to the acquisition of the relatively higher margin businesses in 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased to $40.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $35.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to acquisitions that resulted in an increase in administrative employee wages, taxes and benefit costs of $5.3 million, an increase in data processing of $0.4 million and an increase in rent expense of $0.3 million. In addition, professional fees increased by $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition related costs of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from 20.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $3.0 million from $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily due to the increase of intangible assets related to the fiscal year 2019 acquisitions.

All of our income is from domestic sources. We incur state and local taxes in states in which we operate. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective income tax rate was 23.6% and 24.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the difference between our federal statutory and effective income tax rates was principally due to the inclusion of state taxes and non-deductible compensation, partially offset by an excess tax benefit and the use of federal employment tax credits.

Net service revenues increased by 24.6% to $568.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $456.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was due to an increase in same store growth of 8.8% and a 10.4 % increase in revenues per billable hour for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by a decrease in average billable census of 2.1% in our personal care segment. In addition, revenue increased by $46.5 million from our hospice segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, attributed to the fiscal year 2019 acquisitions of Hospice Partners and Alliance.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, increased to 29.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 26.7% for the same period in 2019. The increase was mainly attributed to the acquisition of the relatively higher margin businesses in 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased to $125.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $94.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to acquisitions that resulted in an increase in administrative employee wages, taxes and benefit costs of $21.5 million, an increase in data processing of $1.7 million and an increase in rent expense of $1.6 million. In addition, professional fees increased by $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 22.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from 20.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $8.9 million from $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily due to the increase of intangible assets related to the fiscal year 2019 acquisitions.

All of our income is from domestic sources. We incur state and local taxes in states in which we operate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the federal statutory rate was 21.0%. The effective income tax rate was 20.5% and 21.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the difference between our federal statutory and effective income tax rates was principally due to the inclusion of an excess tax benefit and the use of federal employment tax credits, partially offset by state taxes and non-deductible compensation. The excess tax benefit is a discrete item, related to the vesting of equity shares, which requires us to recognize the benefit fully in the period.

Same store growth reflects the change in year-over-year revenue for the same store base. We define the same store base to include those stores open for at least 52 full weeks. This measure highlights the performance of existing stores, while excluding the impact of acquisitions, new store openings and closures.

Management deems these metrics to be key performance indicators. Management uses these metrics to monitor our performance, both in our existing operations and acquisitions. Many of these metrics serve as the basis of reported revenues and assessment of these, provide direct correlation to the results of operations from period to period and facilitate comparison with the results of our peers. Historical trends established in these metrics can be used to evaluate current operating results, identify trends affecting our business, determine the allocation of resources and assess the quality and potential variability of our cash flows and earnings. We believe they are useful to investors in evaluating and understanding our business but should not be used solely in assessing the Company’s performance. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented herein to fully evaluate and understand the business as a whole. These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled performance indicators used by other companies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in administrative employee wages, taxes and benefit costs of $0.6 million. The home health segment’s operating income was $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash from operations. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash balances of $170.3 million and $111.7 million, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did not draw on the term loan. As of September 30, 2020, we had a total of $43.4 million in revolving loans, with an interest rate of 1.89% and $18.4 million of term loans, with an interest rate of 1.89%, outstanding on our credit facility. After giving effect to the amount drawn on our credit facility, approximately $9.3 million of outstanding letters of credit and borrowing limits based on an advance multiple of adjusted EBITDA, we had $219.0 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit loan facility.

At December 31, 2019, we had a total of $43.4 million revolving credit loans, with an interest rate of 3.44%, and $18.9 million term loans, with an interest rate of 3.45%, outstanding on our credit facility. After giving effect to the amount drawn on our credit facility, approximately $10.0 million of outstanding letters of credit and borrowing limits based on an advance multiple of adjusted EBITDA, we had $191.4 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit loan facility.

Cash flows from operating activities represent the inflow of cash from our payor clients and the outflow of cash for payroll and payroll taxes, operating expenses, interest and taxes. Due to its revenue deficiencies as well as budget and financing issues, from time to time the state of Illinois has reimbursed us on a delayed basis with respect to our various agreements including with our largest payor, the Illinois Department on Aging. The open receivable balance from the Illinois Department on Aging decreased by $15.8 million from $37.6 million as of December 31, 2019 to $21.8 million as of September 30, 2020.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 31, 2018, we amended and restated our Existing Credit Agreement, with certain lenders and Capital One, National Association as a lender and swing line lender and as agent for all lenders. This amended and restated credit facility totals $269.6 million, inclusive of a $250.0 million revolving loan and a $19.6 million delayed draw term loan and is evidenced by the Credit Agreement. This amended and restated credit facility amended and restated our existing senior secured credit facility totaling $250.0 million. The maturity of this amended and restated credit facility is May 8, 2023, with borrowing under the delayed draw term loan available until June 30, 2019, as extended pursuant to the consent letter, dated January 30, 2019, executed by the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Interest on our amended and restated credit facility may be payable at (x) the sum of (i) an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio plus (ii) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate,” (b) the sum of the federal funds rate plus a margin of 0.50% and (c) the sum of the adjusted LIBOR that would be applicable to a loan with an interest period of one month advanced on the applicable day (not to be less than 0.00%) plus a margin of 1.00% or (y) the sum of (i) an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio plus (ii) the offered rate per annum for similar dollar deposits for the applicable interest period that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (not to be less than zero). Swing loans may not be LIBOR loans. The availability of additional draws under this amended and restated credit facility is conditioned, among other things, upon (after giving effect to such draws) the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not exceeding 3.75:1.00. In certain circumstances, in connection with a Material Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement), we can elect to increase our Total Net Leverage Ratio compliance covenant to 4.25:1.00 for the then current fiscal quarter and the three succeeding fiscal quarters. In connection with this amended and restated credit facility, we incurred approximately $0.9 million of debt issuance costs.

Addus HealthCare is the borrower, and its parent, Holdings, and substantially all of Holdings’ subsidiaries are guarantors under this amended and restated credit facility, and it is secured by a first priority security interest in all of our and the other credit parties’ current and future tangible and intangible assets, including the shares of stock of the borrower and subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit facilities of this type, including the timely delivery of audited financial statements, limitations on us with respect to liens, indebtedness, guaranties, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions and dispositions of assets.

We pay a fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio times the unused portion of the revolving loan portion of the amended and restated credit facility.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants regarding, among other things, the maintenance of records, compliance with laws, maintenance of permits, maintenance of insurance and property and payment of taxes. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary financial covenants and negative covenants that, among other things, include a requirement to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a requirement to stay below a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a requirement to stay below a maximum permitted amount of capital expenditures, as well as restrictions on guarantees, indebtedness, liens, investments and loans, subject to customary carve outs, a restriction on dividends (provided that Addus HealthCare may make distributions to us in an amount that does not exceed $7.5 million in any year absent of an event of default, plus limited exceptions for tax and administrative distributions), a restriction on the ability to consummate acquisitions (without the consent of the lenders) under our credit facility subject to compliance with the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), restrictions on mergers, dispositions of assets, and affiliate transactions, and restrictions on fundamental changes and lines of business.

At September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes changes in our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020			2019
	(Amounts in Thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	73,299		$	8,084
Net cash used in investing activities		(17,507	)		(56,301	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		2,825			217,420

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Net cash provided by operating activities was $73.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable for the state of New York, Illinois Department of Aging and a decrease in days sales outstanding (“DSO”) as discussed below, combined with organic growth and acquisition activity.

Net cash used in investing activities was $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to cash used in investing activities of $56.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted of $6.0 million in purchases of property and equipment primarily related to investments in our technology infrastructure. Our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted of $29.9 million primarily for the acquisition of VIP, $23.5 million for the acquisition of Alliance, and $3.1 million in purchases of property and equipment primarily related to our ongoing investments in our technology infrastructure.

Net cash provided by financing activities was related to cash received from the exercise of stock options of $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily related to net proceeds from our Public Offering of $172.9 million, borrowings of approximately $23.5 million on the revolver portion of our credit facility to fund the Alliance acquisition, borrowings of $19.6 million on the delayed draw term loan portion of our credit facility to fund, in part, the VIP acquisition and $2.1 million in cash received from the exercise of stock options.

Outstanding Accounts Receivable

Gross accounts receivable as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were approximately $118.5 million and $150.6 million, respectively. Outstanding accounts receivable, net of allowance, decreased by $31.1 million as of September 30, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019. Accounts receivable for the Illinois Department on Aging decreased approximately $15.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Our collection procedures include review of account aging and direct contact with our payors. We have historically not used collection agencies. An uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance account after reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. We received a bonus payment of $6.8 million in May of 2020.

We calculate our DSO by taking the trade accounts receivable outstanding, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, divided by the net service revenues for the last quarter, multiplied by the number of days in that quarter. Our DSOs were 56 days and 72 days at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The DSOs for our largest payor, the Illinois Department on Aging, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were 48 days and 78 days, respectively. We may not receive payments on a consistent basis in the near term and our DSOs and the DSO for the Illinois Department on Aging may increase despite the state of Illinois’s enactment of state budgets for fiscal years 2020 and 2021.

The economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic poses significant risks to states’ budgets for the 2021 fiscal year, which began July 1 in most states. Depending on the severity and length of a downturn, sales tax collections and income tax withholdings could continue to be depressed in fiscal 2021 and, potentially, future fiscal years. States could face significant fiscal challenges and may have no choice but to revise their revenue forecasts and adjust their budgets for fiscal 2021 and, potentially, future fiscal years, accordingly. In New York, which started its fiscal year April 1, the state comptroller recently estimated that the state would collect at least $10 billion less than originally forecasted, the first year-to-year cut since 2011. The current New York fiscal plan authorizes the state to issue up to $8 billion in short-term bonds to provide funds in case of reduced revenues during the fiscal year. The state issued $1.1 billion of bonds on October 28, 2020. It also allows two state authorities to provide the state with a $3 billion line of credit in the new fiscal year. As the state continues to deal with lower levels of funding due to the COVID-19 virus, the state implemented a 1% reduction to all Medicaid providers effective January 1, 2020. The recently passed budget included an additional 0.5% reduction to the Medicaid rate, which also allows the governor to make any additional changes needed as the budget year progresses.

Congress could provide additional relief with additional stimulus and relief legislation, including extension of unemployment benefits and relief for states. We cannot determine the impact that COVID-19 may have on states budgets for 2021 or beyond, however, such impacts could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” set forth in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019, filed on August 10, 2020.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates on our variable rate long-term debt. As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $61.8 million on our credit facility, all of such borrowings were subject to variable interest rates. If the variable rates on this debt were 100 basis points higher than the rate applicable to the borrowing during the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2020, our net income would have decreased by $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share and $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the respective periods. We do not currently have any derivative or hedging arrangements, or other known exposures, to changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we continued to implement the following changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

•

Implemented enhancements to the design of control activities related to the review and approval of hours worked and billed, including obtaining and reviewing the Service Organization Control 1 Type 2 (“SOC 1 Type 2”) report from our preferred electronic visit verification (“EVV”) vendor. Additionally, we enhanced existing controls to increase our level of precision of review of hours worked and billed and implemented new controls within the payroll process.

•

Implemented enhancements to the design of control activities over the accuracy of the implicit price concession assumption used in the estimate of recoverability of unadjudicated net service revenues, including additional analysis around aged accounts receivable and using cash collection data to validate the recoverability.

Remediation Efforts with Respect to Material Weaknesses

As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, our management began a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses. We have identified dedicated internal resources, supplemented with third-party specialists, to assist with formalizing a robust and detailed remediation plan and updated risk assessment, including identifying and assessing those risks commensurate with the significant changes within our company.

Because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful remediation of these material weaknesses will require review and evidence of operating effectiveness prior to concluding that the controls are effective. Although significant progress has been made, the previously identified material weaknesses continue to exist as of September 30, 2020, and will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
