Operating Results

“2025 was a year of record-breaking performance and growth for Pennant,” said Brent Guerisoli, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our operational flywheel continues to gain momentum, even in the midst of accelerative expansion. Our growth wasn’t only significant in its magnitude--it was strategic, high-quality investment. We added attractive operations to our footprint and created a foundation for additional expansion in the Southeast. At the same time, we drove strong same-store results and continued to execute in our senior living business.”

“We will be focused on integrating our new operations and continuing to instill operational excellence across our businesses in 2026,” said John Gochnour, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. “We have completed many acquisitions in our history, and we understand the importance of successful transitions, in terms of employee experience, culture, clinical excellence, and financial results. We saw tremendous momentum across virtually all key growth metrics in 2025, including growth in home health admissions of 44.1% and hospice average daily census of 28.6%, leading to revenue growth of 41.0% and segment Adjusted EBITDA growth of 37.8% year over year. Senior living year-over-year occupancy grew 90 basis points coupled with rate increases of 8.0%, generating revenue growth of 22.3% and Adjusted EBITDA improvement of 34.4%, year over year. Even as we worked diligently to transition many new operations, we delivered record operational and clinical performance in both segments. With seasoned leaders and well-performing operations anchoring our efforts, we are poised to continue this success throughout 2026.”

A discussion of the Company’s use of Non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. Reconciliations of net income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share, net income to adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net income, appear in the financial data portion of this release. More complete information is contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which will be filed with the SEC and will be available to be viewed on the Company’s website at www.pennantgroup.com.

2026 Guidance

Management is providing 2026 annual guidance as follows: total revenue is anticipated to be between $1,133.6 million and $1,171.8 million; full year 2026 adjusted earnings per diluted share is anticipated to be between $1.26 and $1.36; full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be between $88.5 million and $94.1 million; and full year adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI is anticipated to be $94.2 million to $100.0 million.

The Company’s updated 2026 annual guidance is based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 37.0 million and a 26.0% effective tax rate. The guidance includes among other things, certain costs relating to our transition services agreement with UnitedHealth, reimbursement rate adjustments and no unannounced acquisitions. It excludes net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, the tax-effected costs at start-up operations, share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and gain (loss) on disposition of assets and impairments.

Lynette Walbom, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, also stated, “We believe providing updated annual adjusted consolidated EBITDA guidance in addition to updated annual revenue and adjusted earnings per share guidance is helpful to understanding our expectations for our business and operational cash flow. This updated guidance reflects management’s expectations based on 2025 performance and current operating conditions as well as the impacts of the transaction with UnitedHealth and Amedisys. Our guidance includes revenue in the range of $191.2 to $200.3 million, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $16.7 to $17.9 million, and adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI of $19.8 to $21.1 million relating to these former UnitedHealth and Amedisys assets.”

(a)		Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations is net income attributable to the Company's reportable segments excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent, unallocated corporate and administrative expenses, and, in order to view the operations’ performance on a comparable basis from period to period, certain adjustments including: (1) activities associated with start-up operations, (2) share-based compensation expense, (3) acquisition related costs, (4) activities associated with transitioning operations, (5) transition services costs, (6) unusual, non-recurring, or redundant charges, and (7) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. “All Other” consists of revenues generated at operating locations not included in the segment financial information reviewed by the CODM. Revenue included in the “All Other” category is insignificant individually, and therefore does not constitute a reportable segment. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, and are included as “Unallocated corporate expenses”, accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company's segment measures may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
(b)		Represents results related to start-up operations. This amount excludes rent and depreciation and amortization expense related to such operations.
(c)		Share-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes incurred. Share-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes are included in cost of services and general and administrative expense.
(d)		Non-capitalizable costs associated with acquisitions and write-offs for amounts in dispute with the prior owners of certain acquired operations.
(e)		During 2024 and 2025, an affiliate of the Company held its memory care units in transition and is converting the facility into an assisted living community. We received insurance proceeds related to the property in 2024 and 2025 which were recorded in gain on disposition of property and equipment, net on the consolidated statements of income.
(f)		Costs identified as redundant or non-recurring incurred by the Company as a result of the Transition Services Agreement between the Company and UnitedHealth entered into as part of the acquisition agreement. All amounts are included in Cost of services. Fees incurred under the transition services agreement were $3,001 for the year ended December 31, 2025.
(g)		Represents unusual, non-recurring, or redundant charges for legal services, implementation costs, integration costs, and consulting fees in general and administrative and cost of services expenses.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest (“NCI”), before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) results related to start-up operations, including rent and excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (e) share-based compensation expense, (f) non-capitalizable acquisition related costs, (g) activities associated with transitioning operations, (h) transition services costs, and (i) unusual, non-recurring or redundant charges. Adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) results related to start-up operations, (f) non-capitalizable acquisition related costs, (g) activities associated with transitioning operations, (h) transition services costs, (i) unusual, non-recurring or redundant charges, and (j) NCI. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure applicable to current periods only and consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) results related to start-up operations, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition related costs, (h) activities associated with transitioning operations, (i) transition services costs, and (j) unusual, non-recurring or redundant charges. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI, consolidated adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance. The company believes disclosure of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI, and consolidated adjusted EBITDAR has economic substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The company’s periodic filings are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or under the "Financial Information" link of the Investor Relations section on Pennant’s website at http://www.pennantgroup.com.
