Commenting on the results, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Addus had a solid start to 2026, delivering an improved year-over-year financial and operating performance with revenue up 7.7% and adjusted EBITDA up 9.7% over the first quarter last year. These results reflect continued demand for our home-based care services across the continuum. Addus is well positioned to meet this demand as we continue to expand our market reach and add density in the states where we operate. Our hiring trends have been stable and consistent in the first quarter despite some brief winter weather interruptions in January. We are proud of the dedicated caregivers who represent Addus and continue to provide outstanding care and support to the patients and families who rely on us for quality care in their preferred home setting.

“Our personal care business, which accounted for 77.3% of our revenues, was the primary driver of our growth with a 6.5% organic revenue increase over the first quarter last year. We benefitted from higher volumes as well as additional rate support from two key states, including a 9.9% increase in Texas that was effective September 1, 2025, and a 3.9% increase from the State of Illinois that was effective beginning January 1, 2026. We are pleased that our strong value proposition as a cost-effective provider is being recognized by the states where we serve clients.

“Our hospice care business has performed well and accounted for 18.1% of our revenue for the first quarter. We have seen consistent trends in our hospice segment, resulting in 7.7% organic revenue growth over the first quarter of last year and year-over-year improvement in average daily census. Our home health business represented 4.6% of revenue for the first quarter. We believe home health provides important complementary capabilities and clinical collaboration for our personal care and hospice care segments as we see more patients in select markets receive the benefit of the full continuum of care,” said Allison.
