LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Almost Family, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFAM), a leading regional provider of home health nursing services, announced today its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
William Yarmuth, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We’re pleased to report strong operating results for the second quarter. In the midst of great public debate about health care reform, we’re continuing to demonstrate that home health care represents the lowest cost, highest quality way to keep the frail homebound elderly out of high cost institutional care and in their homes where they want to be. Over the course of 2009 we plan to continue our strategic efforts to grow and expand our business. We also plan to work hard to help the Administration, Congress and all those working on comprehensive health care reform understand how important home health care is as a part of the solution to lowering health care costs and ensuring access to care for all America’s seniors.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The information provided in the tables in this release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has provided, in the supplemental information and the footnotes to the tables, a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
EBITDA:
EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Management routinely calculates and communicates EBITDA and believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within our industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. EBITDA is also used in certain covenants contained in our credit agreement.
The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Continuing Operations Net Income to EBITDA:
