HIGHLIGHTS AND SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS (ADJUSTED): 1Q 2024(1)
Excluding the results from our personal care segment (sold March 31, 2023), EBITDA increased $4 million over prior year on a $30 million increase in revenue. Our results were impacted by rate increases, home health volume growth, improvements in clinician utilization and clinical optimization and reorganization initiatives. Our cash flows and accounts receivable were impacted by the Change Healthcare outage which resulted in delays in submitting claims resulting in an increase in DSO and a reduction in our cash flow from operations.
