Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 12, 2019 The Pennant Group, Inc. (the Company) issued a press release reporting the financial results of the Company for its third quarter ended September 30, 2019. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1.

The press release includes “non-GAAP financial measures.” Specifically, the press release refers to Combined EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDAR, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Combined EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDAR, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. Regulation G, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, and other provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. Combined EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, before (a) interest expense, (b) provision for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. Combined Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, before (a) interest expense, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) costs incurred for operations currently in start-up phase, excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (e) share-based compensation expense, (f) acquisition-related costs, and (g) spin-off related transaction costs. Combined Adjusted EBITDAR consists of net income, adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, before (a) interest expense, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) costs incurred for facilities currently in start-up phase, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition-related costs and (h) spin-off related transaction costs. Segment Adjusted EBITDA consists of Segment Adjusted EBITDAR adjusted to include rent-cost of services. The company believes that the presentation of Combined EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDAR, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, 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, Combined EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDAR, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA 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 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.

Conference Call and Webcast scheduled for tomorrow, November 13, 2019 at 10:00 am MT
EAGLE, Idaho - November 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - The Pennant Group, Inc.

Adjusted Segment EBITDAR from Operations is defined and outlined in Note 6 on Form 10-Q. Adjusted Segment EBITDAR from Operations excludes general and administrative expenses, and interest expense, as well as the elimination of intercompany transactions.
Operating Results
Daniel Walker, Pennant’s Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “The third quarter concluded with our spin-off from Ensign, which marks an important milestone in our organization’s history. The transaction would not have happened without the tireless effort and extraordinary results of thousands of individuals across both Pennant and Ensign. We are grateful for the solid foundation their work has laid and are more excited than ever to go forward from here and generate long-term results for our stakeholders.”
Mr. Walker continued, “While significant resources were consumed in executing the transaction over the past year, our local leaders within our unique operating model have continued to produce strong operating results. We are pleased with the performance of our home health and hospice business and expect to see strong organic growth coupled with strategic acquisition opportunities. Likewise, we are enthusiastic about the opportunities we see in our senior living business, a large portion of which is still relatively early in the process of transitioning into what we are seeing in our more mature operations.”
“We are also pleased to provide full year 2020 guidance of revenue of $376 million to $386 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.53 to $0.58 per diluted share. Our 2020 guidance includes the implementation of the new Patient Driven Groupings Model (“PDGM”), which our interdisciplinary teams have been working diligently all year to prepare for. The midpoints of our 2020 guidance reflect an increase of 12.2% and 24.7%, for revenue and earnings





per diluted share, respectively, over our full year spin-off adjusted 2019 guidance, which underscores our confidence in the ability of our local leaders to help us maintain our historical earnings growth rates,” stated Mr. Walker.
During the quarter, the Company announced that it completed the acquisition of Agape Hospice, a hospice agency providing services in Tucson, Arizona, and Mainplace Senior Living, a 91-unit senior living community located in Orange, California. These acquisitions, combined with the eight home health and hospice agencies and one senior living community acquired in the first half of 2019, bring Pennant’s total operations to 115 at quarter end. “Despite the work needed to execute the spin-off, our disciplined acquisition strategy led by our local leaders allowed us to continue to scale by finding and executing on a number of opportunities with significant organic growth potential. Closing out 2019 and looking out into 2020, we are excited to deploy the dry powder generated from operational cash flow and our new revolver in pursuing even more acquisition opportunities,” said Derek Bunker, Pennant’s Chief Investment Officer.
Jennifer Freeman, Pennant’s Chief Financial Officer, noted that the Company drew down $30 million of its new $75 million in connection with the spin-off to fund a dividend to Ensign, pay transaction-related costs and retain a portion as cash on hand for working capital and other related purposes. Since quarter end, the Company has paid down $8 million of its revolver, with approximately $52 million of availability for future acquisitions and general business purposes. Ms. Freeman commented that the Company’s balance sheet remains strong, with a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.95x and a lease-adjusted net debt-to-adjusted EBITDAR ratio of 4.89x at quarter end. “Our leverage ratios were impacted by acquisition activity year to date as well as increased general and administrative expenses related to becoming a public company. As our acquired operations mature and we move into 2020, we expect our leverage ratios to improve and our balance sheet to remain strong,” said Ms. Freeman.
A discussion of the company's use of non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted EBITDA, 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, which has been filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the company’s website at www.pennantgroup.com.
2019 Guidance
We are providing full year 2019 guidance of revenue of $339 million to $340 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.55 to $0.56 per diluted share.
Consistent with the pro forma financials presented in our Form 10 information statement, we have also adjusted our full year 2019 earnings guidance to account for certain spin-related items in order to provide a more helpful year-over-year comparison to our full year 2020 guidance. We anticipate full year spin-off adjusted 2019 earnings per share to be $0.44 to $0.45 per diluted share. Our full year spin-off adjusted 2019 guidance assumes annualized fourth quarter 2019 rent and interest expense.
The Company’s full year 2019 and full year spin-adjusted 2019 guidance is based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 29.0 million and a 25.2% effective tax rate. In addition, the guidance assumes, among other things, anticipated reimbursement rate adjustments and no new acquisitions except those completed to date. It excludes costs at start-up operations, share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and spin-off related transaction costs.
2020 Guidance
For the full year 2020, the Company provides the following guidance:
Total revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $376 million to $386 million, the midpoint of which represents an increase of 12.2% over the midpoint of our full year 2019 revenue guidance.
Adjusted earnings per share is anticipated to be in the range of $0.53 to $0.58 per diluted share, the midpoint of which represents an increase of 24.7% over the midpoint of our full year spin-adjusted 2019 adjusted earnings per share guidance.





The Company’s 2020 guidance is based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 29.3 million and a 25.2% effective tax rate. In addition, the guidance assumes, among other things, anticipated reimbursement rate adjustments, no new acquisitions except those completed to date and the full year impact of general and administrative expenses associated with being a public company. It excludes costs at start-up operations, share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and certain duplicate general and administrative costs incurred during the transition services period.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This press release contains, and the related conference call and webcast will include, forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions and beliefs about its business, financial performance, operating results, the industry in which it operates and other future events. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as anticipates, expects, intends, plans, predicts, believes, seeks, estimates, may, will, should, would, could, potential, continue, ongoing, similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding growth prospects, future operating and financial performance, and acquisition activities. They are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to materially and adversely differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.
These risks and uncertainties relate to the company’s business, its industry and its common stock and include: reduced prices and reimbursement rates for its services; its ability to acquire, develop, manage or improve operations, its ability to manage its increasing borrowing costs as it incurs additional indebtedness to fund the acquisition and development of operations; its ability to access capital on a cost-effective basis to continue to successfully implement its growth strategy; its operating margins and profitability could suffer if it is unable to grow and manage effectively its increasing number of operations; competition from other companies in the acquisition, development and operation of facilities; its ability to defend claims and lawsuits, including professional liability claims alleging that our services resulted in personal injury, and other regulatory-related claims; and the application of existing or proposed government regulations, or the adoption of new laws and regulations, that could limit its business operations, require it to incur significant expenditures or limit its ability to relocate its operations if necessary.

(a)
Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations is Net Income attributable to the Company's reportable segments excluding the interest expense; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; rent; start-up costs; acquisitions costs; and stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company’s CODM uses Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations as the primary measure of profit and loss for the Company's reportable segments and to compare the performance of its operations with those of its competitors. In order to view the operations performance, the Company





excludes from the EBITDAR calculations for the reportable segments the following: 1) costs at start-up operations, 2) share-based compensation, 3) acquisition related costs, and 4) transaction costs. Also, 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, depreciation and amortization expense.
(c)
Share-based compensation expense incurred.
(d)
Acquisition related costs that are not capitalizable.
(e)
Costs incurred related to the Spin-Off are included in general and administrative expense.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Combined EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, before (a) interest expense, (b) provision for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. Combined Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, before (a) interest expense, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) costs incurred for operations currently in start-up phase, excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (e) share-based compensation expense, (f) acquisition-related costs, and (g) spin-off related transaction costs. Combined Adjusted EBITDAR consists of net income, adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, before (a) interest expense, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) costs incurred for facilities currently in start-up phase, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition-related costs and (h) spin-off related transaction costs. Segment Adjusted EBITDA consists of Segment Adjusted EBITDAR adjusted to include rent-cost of services. The company believes that the presentation of Combined EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDAR, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, 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, Combined EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDAR, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA 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 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.
