Management Updates 2017 Earnings Guidance

Management previously disclosed that because of hurricanes Harvey and Irma the Company lost approximately 8,500 patient visits, which was estimated to have a financial impact to earnings of $.03 per share. Primarily as the result of the impact from those storms we currently expect the Company’s operating results for the year 2017 to be in the range of $25.4 million to $26.5 million and $2.02 to $2.10 in diluted earnings per share as compared to $24.3 million and $1.94, respectively, in the year 2016. This earnings range is based on an assumed annual corporate tax rate of approximately 37%. Please note that management’s guidance range represents projected earnings from existing operations excluding potential future acquisitions. The annual guidance figures will not be updated unless there is a material development that causes management to believe that earnings will be significantly outside the given range.
