LHC Group and Almost Family Merger of Equals

On November 15, 2017, Almost Family entered into an agreement with LHC Group (“LHC”) providing for a “merger of equals” business combination between our Company and LHC. Following approval by both companies’ shareholders, the merger will be an all-stock transaction with an exchange ratio of 0.9150 of LHC shares to be exchanged for each outstanding share of Almost Family stock. The combined company is expected to have an expanded geographic service territory of 36 states, 781 locations and 76 joint venture partnerships including 336 hospitals. The combined company will be listed under the LHC name with common shares to be traded on the NASDAQ under ticker symbol LHCG. On February 22, 2018, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 with respect to this transaction expired, satisfying one of the important conditions to closing. The transaction is expected to close near the end of the first quarter of 2018 following both companies’ March 29, 2018 special stockholder meetings to approve the proposed transaction.

Management Comments

William Yarmuth, Chairman and CEO, commented: “We’re very pleased to close out fiscal 2017 with strong operating results and numerous accomplishments culminating with our planned merger with LHC Group. Successfully integrating our CHS-JV acquisition and completing the transition of the balance of our home health operations, so that we’re now fully on the Homecare Homebase software platform, bode very well for our future.

“As we leave 2017 and enter into 2018, combining the best of both our long track records of success and patient-focused cultures, as one family, we’ll continue our mission of making lives better through home care. I am extremely proud of the work we've done, the progress we've made, and the meaningful contribution the Almost Family side of the house will now be able to make to the future success of the combined organization. I look forward to working with the rest of the management team in the continued evolution of these companies -- able to accomplish much more together than either of us could possibly achieve alone.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Results (See Matters Impacting Comparability and Presentation below)

Home Health (HH) segment net revenues increased by 35.5% or $38.0 million to $145.1 million from $107.1 million in the prior year and episodic admissions grew by 39.0% to 29,336 from 21,106. Net revenue and episodic admissions in the CHS-JV acquisition were $42.5 million and 8,107, respectively. Excluding the CHS-JV, episodic admissions grew by approximately 1%.

Home Health segment contribution before corporate expenses increased $4.9 million, or 36.0%, to $18.5 million from $13.6 million in the prior year with contribution margins as a percentage of revenue remaining consistent at 12.7%.

Other Home-Based Services (OHBS) segment net revenues increased $5.6 million or 13.7% to $46.3 million in 2017 from $40.7 million, primarily as a result of the 15 hospice facilities acquired in the CHS-JV transaction. Hospice revenues were $7.7 million for the quarter. Personal care revenues

Almost Family Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results

February 27, 2018

were down $1.7 million or 4.3% from prior year on lower volumes. Additionally, mix changes combined with rate cuts and increases in wages influenced by increases in statutory minimum wage rates in certain states negatively impacted personal care margins. Overall OHBS segment contribution before corporate expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 27.6% to $3.1 million from $4.3 million for the same period last year, primarily as a result of the prior year including an abnormally low bad debt provision.

Healthcare Innovations (HCI) segment net revenues increased $3.6 million or 62.8% in 2017 to $9.3 million in 2017 as compared to $5.7 million in 2016. The Company’s ACO enablement operations recorded shared savings incentive revenue of $2.3 million from multiple ACOs participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program. ACOs managed by the Company saved the Medicare program a total of $25 million in the measurement period. The Company’s assessment business revenues grew $0.8 million, or 14.8% as assessment volumes grew by 34%. As a result, operating income for the HCI segment increased $2.7 million to $3.3 million, up from $0.6 million in the prior year.

Corporate expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.2% in 2017 from 4.7% in 2016. Deal, transition and other costs were $12.3 million, primarily due to LHC merger transaction costs including approximately $4.0 million for external transaction services and $2.5 million for performance based management incentive programs. Other deal, transition and other cost drivers primarily relate to the final full quarter of implementation and training costs for our HH segment conversion to the Homecare Homebase information system.

We recorded a tax benefit of $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 due to a favorable $9.5 million impact from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) partially offset by a negative $1.3 million impact from certain non-deductible, LHC merger related costs. Excluding the impact of these items in 2017, our tax expense and effective tax rate would have been $0.4 million and 39.5% for the quarter.

The Tax Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017, is effective for our fiscal 2018 and will reduce our U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% in 2018. The Tax Act also resulted in the current year revaluation of our Deferred tax liabilities at the lower tax rate causing a one-time benefit of approximately $9.5 million. We expect our effective tax rate to approximate 26.5% in 2018.

Increased average shares outstanding from the Company’s late January 2017 sale of common shares reduced Adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2017 by $0.18 as compared to 2016. The fourth quarter is fully reflective of the dilutive effect of this offering.

Full Year Financial Results (See Matters Impacting Comparability and Presentation below)

Home Health segment net revenues increased by $151 million or 34.7% to $586 million from $435 million in the prior year and episodic admissions grew by 40.4% to 118,535 from 84,401 in 2016, primarily due to the CHS-JV acquisition. Net revenue and episodic admissions in the CHS-JV were $167.7 million and 32,714, respectively. Excluding the CHS-JV, episodic admissions grew by approximately 2%, which was reduced by the impact of the Hurricanes. Volume growth was

Almost Family Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results

February 27, 2018

partially offset by a net effective 1% Medicare rate cut and the impact of the Hurricanes.

HH segment contribution before corporate expenses increased $19.0 million, or 33.6%, to $75.6 million from $56.6 million in the prior year period. Home Health contribution margins as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 12.9% from 13.0% in the prior year due to the combined impact of a 1% Medicare rate cut and an annual cost of living wage rate adjustment of 2%, both effective January 1, 2017.

OHBS segment net revenues increased $22.2 million or 13.7% to $184.8 million from $162.6 million, primarily as a result of the 15 hospice facilities acquired in the CHS-JV transaction. Hospice revenues were $29.8 million. Personal care revenues were down $6.4 million or 4.0% from prior year on lower volumes. Additionally, mix changes combined with rate cuts and increases in wages influenced by increases in statutory minimum wage rates in certain states negatively impacted personal care margins. Overall OHBS segment contribution before corporate expenses increased $1.0 million or 7.7%, as compared to the same period of last year.

HCI segment net revenues increased slightly to $26.1 million in 2017 from $26.0 million in 2016. Increases in both ACO Management membership fees and Assessment Services revenue largely offset a $1.9 million reduction in ACO shared savings payments revenue in 2017 versus the prior year. As such, HCI operating income before corporate expenses decreased $1.6 million to $4.0 million in 2017.

Each of our operating segments experienced prolonged disruption during the third quarter of 2017 as a result of Hurricanes Irma and Harvey (the “Hurricanes”), with our Home Health segment operations in Florida the most severely affected. The Hurricanes reduced operating income by approximately $3.3 million, largely on lost volume.

Corporate expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 0.1% to 4.5% in 2017. Deal, transition and other costs were $29.4 million, largely driven by transaction costs of the LHC merger and the CHS-JV acquisition, in addition to the conversion of the HH segment to the Homecare Homebase information system. Unused fees associated with our larger credit facility and higher loan cost amortization increased interest expense to $7.4 million from $6.3 million in the prior year.

Net cash from operating activities of $30.5 million was generated in 2017. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 57 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017, as compared to 64 days in the third quarter of 2017 and 57 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2016. The decline in days outstanding from prior quarter was driven by the prior quarter including delays related to our conversion to Homecare Homebase and legacy system run-out.

We recorded a net tax benefit of $2.1 million in our fiscal 2017 period due to a positive $9.5 million impact from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act); excluding this Tax Act impact our tax expense and effective tax rate would have been $7.4 million and 40.5%, respectively. The 2016 full-year effective tax rate was 38.4%. The increase from 2016 was largely due to an increase in the

Almost Family Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results

February 27, 2018

ratio of permanent items to pre-tax income driven largely by merger related differences. We currently estimate that our effective tax rate will approximate 26.5% in 2018.

Increased average shares outstanding from the Company’s late January 2017 sale of common shares reduced Adjusted EPS for 2017 by $0.63.

Matters Impacting Comparability and Presentation

On the first day of fiscal 2017, the Company acquired an 80% controlling interest in the entity holding the home health and hospice assets of Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) (“CHS-JV”). Community Health Systems, Inc. ("CHS"), one of the largest publicly-traded hospital companies in the United States and a leading operator of general acute care hospitals in communities across the country, retained the remaining 20%.

In the first quarter in 2017, the Company redefined its reporting segments to include a) Home Health (HH) formerly Visiting Nurse, b) Other Home-Based Services (OHBS) which includes all other home care services outside of Home Health services and c) the Healthcare Innovations (HCI) segment. The OHBS segment consists of the historical personal care (“personal care”) operations plus hospice services. Prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to new segment definitions. In management’s opinion, this approach provides investors clarity for the largest segment, Home Health, and best aligns with the Company’s internal decision-making processes as viewed by the chief operating decision maker.

In the first quarter in 2017, the Company completed a public offering of 3.5 million shares of its common stock for gross proceeds in excess of $150 million. The net proceeds of $144 million were applied to the Company’s revolving credit facility, which increased credit available under the facility from approximately $78.6 million at December 30, 2016 to approximately $204.1 million after the offering.

Other Developments

Medicare Legislation

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, enacted in February 2018, has the following provisions impacting health care services provided at home:
