AdaptHealth Corp. Closes Transaction to Dispose of Certain Home Infusion Assets and Reduces Debt
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AdaptHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: AHCO) ('AdaptHealth' or the 'Company'), a national leader in providing patient-centered, healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment, medical supplies, and related services, today announced that it has closed on the previously disclosed disposition of certain infusion assets in its Wellness at Home segment to a third party. The transaction was completed earlier this month. 'The disposition of certain infusion assets marks yet another significant step in our effort to sharpen our strategic focus by exiting ancillary product lines,' said AdaptHealth CEO, Suzanne Foster. 'Additionally, the sale advances our commitment to debt reduction to unlock value for our shareholders.' The Company used the proceeds of the disposition, and other funds, to make a prepayment of $65.0 million on its outstanding term loan. This prepayment was in addition to a previously announced $70.0 million prepayment on the term loan in May, funded primarily with proceeds from the sale of certain incontinence assets. The products included in the disposition of certain infusion assets represented approximately $52 million of annual revenue and approximately $5 million of annual Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, the Company projects $30 million of cash taxes due on the gains from this disposition. To reflect these impacts, the Company is revising its full-year revenue guidance to a range of $3,150 million to $3,290 million, its full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to a range of $662 million to $702 million, and its full-year 2025 Free Cash Flow to a range of $170 million to $190 million.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as 'believe,' 'may,' 'will,' 'estimate,' 'continue,' 'anticipate,' 'intend,' 'expect,' 'should,' 'would,' 'plan,' 'predict,' 'potential,' 'seem,' 'seek,' 'future,' 'outlook,' and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding projections, estimates and forecasts of revenue and other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and expectations and the Company's acquisition pipeline. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of AdaptHealth management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on, by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the outcome of judicial and administrative proceedings to which the Company may become a party or governmental investigations to which the Company may become subject that could interrupt or limit the Company's operations, result in adverse judgments, settlements or fines and create negative publicity; changes in the Company's customers' preferences, prospects and the competitive conditions prevailing in the healthcare sector. A further description of such risks and uncertainties can be found in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently knows or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company's assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Financial Guidance The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, to analyze its financial results and believes that they are useful to investors, as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures. In addition, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and make investments under its existing credit agreement is governed, in part, by its ability to satisfy tests based on a variation of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating the Company's financial performance. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as the profitability measure in its incentive compensation plans that have a profitability component and to evaluate acquisition opportunities, where it is most often used for purposes of contingent consideration arrangements. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company uses free cash flow, which is a financial measure that is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in its operational and financial decision-making and believes free cash flow is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, ratings agencies and other interested parties to evaluate the Company's competitors and to measure the ability of companies to service their debt. The Company's presentation of free cash flow should not be construed as a measure of liquidity or discretionary cash available to the Company to fund its cash needs, including investing in the growth of its business and meeting its obligations. Free cash flow should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, this key business metric has limitations as an analytical tool. It should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of AdaptHealth's liquidity. This release contains non-GAAP financial guidance. There is no reliable or reasonably estimable comparable GAAP measure for the Company's non-GAAP financial guidance because the Company is not able to reliably predict the impact of certain items that typically have one or more of the following characteristics, such as being highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of future operating results. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. The variability of the specified items may have a significant and unpredictable impact on the Company's future GAAP results. In addition, the Company's financial guidance in this release excludes the impact of any potential additional future strategic acquisitions and any items that have not yet been identified and quantified. The financial guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties applicable to all forward-looking statements as described elsewhere in this press release.

Q1 Earnings Highs And Lows: AdaptHealth (NASDAQ:AHCO) Vs The Rest Of The Senior Health, Home Health & Hospice Stocks
Earnings results often indicate what direction a company will take in the months ahead. With Q1 behind us, let's have a look at AdaptHealth (NASDAQ:AHCO) and its peers. The senior health, home care, and hospice care industries provide essential services to aging populations and patients with chronic or terminal conditions. These companies benefit from stable, recurring revenue driven by relationships with patients and families that can extend many months or even years. However, the labor-intensive nature of the business makes it vulnerable to rising labor costs and staffing shortages, while profitability is constrained by reimbursement rates from Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers. Looking ahead, the industry is positioned for tailwinds from an aging population, increasing chronic disease prevalence, and a growing preference for personalized in-home care. Advancements in remote monitoring and telehealth are expected to enhance efficiency and care delivery. However, headwinds such as labor shortages, wage inflation, and regulatory uncertainty around reimbursement could pose challenges. Investments in digitization and technology-driven care will be critical for long-term success. The 7 senior health, home health & hospice stocks we track reported a strong Q1. As a group, revenues beat analysts' consensus estimates by 2.3%. Thankfully, share prices of the companies have been resilient as they are up 5.1% on average since the latest earnings results.

Despite the top-line beat, it was still a slower quarter for the company with a significant miss of analysts' EPS estimates and full-year revenue guidance slightly missing analysts' expectations. 'Amid elevated uncertainty in the external environment, we at AdaptHealth have stayed the course, with a relentless focus on improving our business and providing exceptional service to the 4.2 million patients that depend on us,' said Suzanne Foster, Chief Executive Officer of AdaptHealth.

The general rise in the price of goods and services is trending towards the Fed's 2% goal as of late, which is good news. The higher rates that fought inflation also didn't slow economic activity enough to catalyze a recession. So far, soft landing. This, combined with recent rate cuts (half a percent in September 2024 and a quarter percent in November 2024) have led to strong stock market performance in 2024. The icing on the cake for 2024 returns was Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. Presidential Election in early November, sending major indices to all-time highs in the week following the election. Still, debates around the health of the economy and the impact of potential tariffs and corporate tax cuts remain, leaving much uncertainty around 2025.
