Re-segmentation

Effective October 1, 2024, AdaptHealth realigned its reportable segments as a result of organizational changes and to reflect the way AdaptHealth’s Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses performance and allocates resources. Under the current structure, AdaptHealth operates its business through four reportable segments that align to AdaptHealth’s product categories: Sleep Health, Respiratory Health, Diabetes Health, and Wellness at Home. All segment information is reflective of this current structure and prior period information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. A description of the products and services provided within each of the Company’s four reportable segments is provided below. In addition, refer to the section titled Segment Results of Operations below for a discussion of the operating results of AdaptHealth's reportable segments.

Reclassifications

Prior to the quarter ended December 31, 2024, AdaptHealth classified certain expenses, primarily related to revenue cycle management costs, as a component of Cost of net revenue in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2024, AdaptHealth has classified these costs within General and administrative expenses to better align with common industry practice. As such, AdaptHealth has classified these costs as General and administrative expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has reclassified these costs in its Consolidated Statements of Operations for all prior periods presented in order to conform to the current year presentation. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, AdaptHealth reclassified $144.5 million and $162.7 million from Cost of net revenue to General and administrative expenses, respectively. The resulting reclassifications had no impact on AdaptHealth's historical reported net revenues, operating income (loss), or cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for any period.

AdaptHealth Corp. Overview

AdaptHealth is a national leader in providing patient-centered, healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment ("HME"), medical supplies, and related services. The Company operates under four reportable segments that align with its product categories: (i) Sleep Health, (ii) Respiratory Health, (iii) Diabetes Health, and (iv) Wellness at Home. A description of the products and services provided within each of the Company’s four reportable segments is provided below.

Sleep Health

The Sleep Health segment provides sleep therapy equipment, supplies and related services (including CPAP and BiLevel services) to individuals for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Respiratory Health

The Respiratory Health segment provides oxygen and home mechanical ventilation equipment and supplies and related chronic therapy services to individuals for the treatment of respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic respiratory failure.

Diabetes Health

The Diabetes Health segment provides medical devices, including continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps, and related services to patients for the treatment of diabetes.

Wellness at Home

The Wellness at Home segment provides home medical equipment and services to patients in their homes including those who have been discharged from acute care and other facilities. The segment tailors a service model to patients who are adjusting to new lifestyles or navigating complex disease states by providing essential medical supplies and durable medical equipment.

The Company services beneficiaries of Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance payors. As of December 31, 2024, AdaptHealth serviced approximately 4.2 million patients annually in all 50 states through our network of approximately 660 locations in 47 states.

Impact of Inflation

The cost to manufacture and distribute the equipment and products that AdaptHealth provides to patients is influenced by the cost of materials, labor, and transportation, including fuel costs. Current and future inflationary effects may be driven by, among other things, general inflationary cost increases, supply chain disruptions and governmental stimulus or fiscal policies. Increases in inflation could impact the overall demand for AdaptHealth’s products and services, availability of materials, its costs for labor, equipment and products, shipping, warehousing and other operational overhead and the margins it is able to realize on its products, all of which could have an adverse impact on AdaptHealth’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, it is not certain whether AdaptHealth would be able to pass increased costs onto customers to offset inflationary pressures. AdaptHealth has experienced inflationary pressure and higher costs as a result of increased cost of materials, labor and transportation. The increase in the cost of equipment and products is due in part to higher cost of shipping and general inflationary cost increases. Although there have been increases in inflation, AdaptHealth cannot predict whether these trends will continue. AdaptHealth’s mitigation efforts relating to these inflationary pressures include utilizing AdaptHealth’s purchasing power in negotiations with vendors and the increased use of technology to drive operating efficiencies and control costs, such as AdaptHealth’s digital platform for prescriptions, orders and delivery.

Key Components of Operating Results

Net Revenue. Net revenue is recognized for services and related products that AdaptHealth provides to patients for healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment ("HME"), medical supplies and related services. Revenues are recognized either at a point in time for the sale of supplies and disposables, over the service period for equipment rental (including, but not limited to, CPAP machines, hospital beds, wheelchairs and other equipment), net of implicit price concessions for amounts estimated to be received from patients or under reimbursement arrangements with Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors, including private insurers, or in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services in connection with at-risk capitation arrangements. Certain trends or uncertainties that may have a material impact on revenue growth and operating results include the Company's ability to obtain new patient starts and to generate referrals from patient referral sources and the ability to meet the increased demand considering inflationary pressures.

Cost of Net Revenue. Cost of net revenue primarily includes the cost of non-capitalized medical equipment and supplies, distribution expenses, labor costs, facilities and vehicle rental costs, and depreciation for capitalized patient equipment. Distribution expenses represent the cost incurred to coordinate and deliver products and services to the patients. Included in distribution expenses are leasing, maintenance, licensing and fuel costs for the vehicle fleet; salaries, benefits and other costs related to drivers and dispatch personnel; and amounts paid to couriers.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of corporate support costs including revenue cycle management costs, information technology, human resources, finance, contracting, legal, compliance, equity-based compensation, and other administrative costs.

Depreciation and Amortization, Excluding Patient Equipment Depreciation. Depreciation expense includes depreciation charges for capital assets other than patient equipment (which is included as part of the cost of net revenue). Amortization expense includes amortization of identifiable intangible assets.

Factors Affecting AdaptHealth’s Operating Results

AdaptHealth’s operating results and financial performance are influenced by certain unique events during the periods discussed herein, including the following:

Goodwill Impairment

AdaptHealth has a significant amount of goodwill on its balance sheet that resulted from the business acquisitions AdaptHealth has made. Goodwill is not amortized, rather, it is assessed at the reporting unit level for impairment annually and also upon the occurrence of a triggering event or change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such triggering events potentially warranting an annual or interim goodwill impairment assessment include, among other factors, declines in historical or projected revenue, operating income or cash flows, and sustained decreases in AdaptHealth's stock price or market capitalization. Such changes in circumstance can include, among others, changes in the

39

Table of Contents

legal environment, reimbursement environment, operating performance, and/or future prospects. AdaptHealth performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year. The impairment assessment can be performed on either a qualitative or quantitative basis. AdaptHealth first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis. Under the qualitative assessment, the Company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If determined necessary, AdaptHealth applies the quantitative impairment test to identify and measure the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If under the quantitative test the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the amount of the impairment loss, if any, is determined based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value up to the total value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors, such as estimates of a reporting unit's fair value, and judgment about impairment triggering events. Fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a weighted methodology considering the output from both the income and market approaches. The income approach incorporates the use of a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including revenue growth rates and discount rates. Several of these assumptions could vary among reporting units. The market approach is performed using the Guideline Public Companies method which is based on earnings multiple data. The Company performs a reconciliation between its market capitalization and its estimate of the aggregate fair value of the reporting units, including consideration of an estimated control premium. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the annual or interim goodwill impairment test will prove to be accurate predictions of the future.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, AdaptHealth recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges totaling $13.1 million related to the disposition of certain immaterial custom rehab technology assets. The Company recognized an immaterial loss as a result of this transaction.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, AdaptHealth experienced declines in its market capitalization as a result of sustained decreases in AdaptHealth's stock price and also revised its financial projections. AdaptHealth considered these items to represent triggering events and performed a goodwill impairment test at each quarterly reporting date during 2023. Based on the results of the tests performed as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, it was concluded that the estimated fair value of AdaptHealth's reporting unit at that time was less than its carrying values at such dates; as such, AdaptHealth recognized an aggregate non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $830.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Debt

In September 2024, AdaptHealth entered into an amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement (as defined below) (as amended, the “2024 Credit Agreement”). The 2024 Credit Agreement includes a $650 million term loan (the "2024 Term Loan") and $300 million in revolving credit commitments (the "2024 Revolver", and together with the 2024 Term Loan, the "2024 Credit Facility") with a $55 million letter of credit sublimit.

In January 2021, AdaptHealth refinanced its outstanding debt borrowings under its then existing credit agreement and entered into a new credit agreement, which was subsequently amended in April 2021 and March 2023 (the “2021 Credit Agreement”). The 2021 Credit Agreement included an $800 million term loan and $450 million in revolving credit commitments with a $55 million letter of credit sublimit. Outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement were refinanced in connection with the 2024 Credit Agreement as discussed above.

See section below, titled Liquidity and Capital Resources, for additional discussion related to AdaptHealth’s long-term debt.

Seasonality

AdaptHealth’s business experiences some seasonality. Its patients are generally responsible for a greater percentage of the cost of their treatment or therapy during the early months of the year due to co-insurance, co-payments and deductibles, and therefore may defer treatment and services of certain therapies until meeting their annual deductibles. In addition, changes to employer insurance coverage often go into effect at the beginning of each calendar year which may impact eligibility requirements and delay or defer treatment. Also, net revenue generated by AdaptHealth’s Diabetes Health segment is typically higher in the fourth quarter compared to the earlier part of the year due to the timing of when patients meet their annual deductibles and their associated reordering patterns. These factors may lead to lower net revenue and cash flow in the early part of the year versus the latter half of the year. Additionally, the increased incidence of respiratory

40

Table of Contents

infections during the winter season may result in initiation of additional respiratory services such as oxygen therapy for certain patient populations, which could impact the timing of revenue generated by AdaptHealth's Respiratory Health segment. AdaptHealth’s quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future depending on these and other factors.

Key Business Metrics

AdaptHealth focuses on Net revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and free cash flow as it reviews its performance. Refer to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and free cash flow included in the non-GAAP measures section below.

Total net revenue is comprised of net sales revenue, net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements, and net revenue from capitated revenue arrangements. Net sales revenue consists of revenue recognized at a point in time for the sale of supplies and disposables. Net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements consists of revenue recognized over the service period for equipment (including, but not limited to, CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, ventilators, hospital beds, wheelchairs and other equipment). Net revenue from capitated revenue arrangements consists of revenue recognized in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services in connection with at-risk capitation arrangements. AdaptHealth’s revenue recognized under its capitation arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is included in net sales revenue and net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements by segment in the tables below, which was immaterial for those periods.

The increase in net revenue was primarily driven by non-acquired growth of $56.3 million, as well as acquisitions, which increased net revenue by $4.5 million.

Net revenue from AdaptHealth's Sleep Health segment increased by $57.5 million, or 4.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased patient census driven by strong patient demand for sleep products, including CPAP resupply products. Net revenue from AdaptHealth's Respiratory Health segment increased by $36.6 million, or 6.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased patient census driven by strong patient demand for respiratory products. Net revenue from AdaptHealth's Diabetes Health segment decreased by $45.6 million, or 6.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a shift in diabetes patients by certain large commercial insurance and other payors from DME suppliers to dual-benefit and pharmacy-only suppliers, and lower net revenue from insulin pumps and supplies as a result of a shift toward more pumps being sold to patients through the pharmacy channel, as well as the effect from manufacturers bringing additional distribution business in-house and a decrease in CGM patient census. Net revenue from AdaptHealth's Wellness at Home segment increased by $12.3 million, or 1.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased revenues from HME products and certain other product categories within this segment, partially offset by decreased revenues related to supplies. AdaptHealth's Sleep Health, Respiratory Health, and Wellness at Home segments, and to a lesser extent, its Diabetes Health segment, had increased revenues from capitated revenue arrangements for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period when such revenues were immaterial.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net sales revenue comprised 64% of total net revenue, compared to 67% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements comprised 32% of total net revenue, compared to 33% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain amounts previously reported within these categories of Cost of net revenue have been reclassified to General and administrative expenses in order to conform to the current year presentation. See Note 2(d), Reclassifications, included in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional discussion of such reclassification.

Cost of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $2,579.9 million and $2,576.1 million, respectively, an increase of $3.8 million or 0.1%. Costs of products and supplies decreased by $22.1 million primarily related to a decrease in net sales revenue from AdaptHealth's Diabetes Health segment and the impact of credits received from a supplier related to certain product recalls which were recognized as a reduction to the cost of products and supplies in 2024, partially offset by general inflationary cost increases. Salaries, labor and benefits increased by $14.1 million, primarily due to increased salaries, benefits costs and annual merit increases, partially offset by cost savings actions implemented in the second half of 2023 resulting in headcount reductions. Patient equipment depreciation decreased by $5.4 million, primarily due to lower net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements, partially offset by higher medical equipment prices. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to higher distribution expenses, vehicle rental costs, and equipment repair costs.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $359.2 million and $334.6 million, respectively, an increase of $24.6 million or 7.4%. This increase is primarily due to higher salaries, labor and benefits, professional and consulting fees, software costs, and increased legal reserves, partially offset by lower equity-based compensation expense and restructuring expenses related to a cost savings program that was implemented in 2023. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 11.0% in 2024, compared to 10.5% in 2023. General and administrative expenses in 2024 included $11.3 million of equity-based compensation expense, and other non-recurring expenses of $28.7 million, consisting of $13.9 million of consulting expenses associated with systems implementation activities, $4.5 million of consulting expenses associated with asset dispositions, $4.2 million of expenses associated with litigation, $3.8 million of severance charges (of which $3.0 million relates to the separation of the Company's former President), and $2.3 million of other expenses, primarily related to professional and consulting expenses. General and administrative expenses in 2023 included $17.7 million of equity-based compensation expense and other non-recurring expenses of $29.9 million, primarily consisting of $12.8 million of expenses associated with litigation, $6.5 million of expenses associated with cost savings initiatives, $5.6 million of consulting expenses associated with systems implementation activities, $2.9 million of severance relating to the separation of the Company's former CEO, and $1.0 million of transaction costs.

Depreciation and amortization, excluding patient equipment depreciation. Depreciation and amortization, excluding patient equipment depreciation, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $45.0 million and $57.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $12.1 million, primarily related to lower intangible amortization expense.

Goodwill Impairment. The goodwill impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2024 relates to the disposition of certain immaterial custom rehab technology assets during 2024. The Company performed a goodwill impairment test at each quarterly reporting date during 2023, and based on the results of the tests performed at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, it was concluded that the estimated fair value of AdaptHealth’s reporting unit was less than its carrying values at such dates, as such, AdaptHealth recognized an aggregate non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $830.8 million in 2023. See Note 7, Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets, for additional details.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $126.7 million and $130.3 million, respectively, a decrease of $3.6 million. Interest expense related to AdaptHealth's credit agreement decreased by $7.3 million in 2024 compared to 2023 as a result of lower interest rates as well as lower average outstanding borrowings in 2024 compared to 2023. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million related to AdaptHealth's finance leases in 2024 compared to 2023. In addition, the impact from AdaptHealth's interest rate swap agreements reduced interest expense by $6.3 million and $8.5 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. AdaptHealth had outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, as discussed in Note 13, Stockholders' Equity – Warrants, to the accompanying December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements. These warrants were liability-classified, and the change in fair value of the warrant liability represented a non-cash gain in 2024 and 2023 for the change in the estimated fair value of such liability during the respective periods. These warrants expired on November 8, 2024.

Other loss, net. Other loss, net for the year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of a pre-tax expense of $2.4 million for the change in fair value of shares of AdaptHealth's Common Stock that were issued in July 2024 following final court approval of the settlement of a previously disclosed securities class action lawsuit, as well as an expense of $0.9

million to settle a shareholder derivative complaint, partially offset by $0.5 million of equity income related to an equity method investment. Other loss, net for the year ended December 31, 2023 consisted of a pre-tax expense of $25.1 million relating to an agreement to settle a previously disclosed securities class action lawsuit, net of expected contributions from the Company’s insurers, $4.8 million of lease termination costs associated with a cost management program, $0.9 million of impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets, $1.2 million of expenses associated with other legal settlements, and a $0.3 million charge for the increase in the fair value of a contingent consideration liability related to an acquisition, partially offset by income of $2.5 million related to changes in AdaptHealth’s estimated TRA liability, and $0.3 million of equity income related to an equity method investment.

Income Tax Expense/Benefit. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $41.2 million compared to an income tax benefit of $49.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in income tax expense was primarily related to increased adjusted pre-tax income, net of warrant liability fair value adjustments and goodwill impairment charges. Additionally, the Company recognized a $1.0 million and $64.8 million income tax benefit, and corresponding increase to net deferred tax assets, related to non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $13.1 million and $830.8 million recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 7, Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets, to the accompanying December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements for additional details.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

AdaptHealth uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, 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, AdaptHealth’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.

AdaptHealth defines EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to AdaptHealth Corp., plus net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization, including patient equipment depreciation.

AdaptHealth defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (as defined above), plus equity-based compensation expense, change in fair value of the warrant liability, goodwill impairment, loss on extinguishment of debt, litigation settlement expense, and certain other non-recurring items of expense or income.

AdaptHealth defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) as a percentage of net revenue.

AdaptHealth believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to investors in evaluating AdaptHealth’s financial performance. AdaptHealth 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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA and 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 AdaptHealth’s liquidity.

Net Revenue

Net revenue from the Sleep Health segment increased by $57.5 million, or 4.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, and increased by $187.9 million, or 17.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. These increases were primarily due to increased patient census driven by strong patient demand for sleep products, including CPAP resupply products. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was also attributable to higher revenues generated from capitated revenue arrangements.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA from the Sleep Health segment increased slightly for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to higher net revenue (as discussed above), offset by increased costs and expenses. The increase in the cost of products and supplies was primarily due to an increase in sales revenue, an increase in certain vendor pricing and general inflationary cost increases. The slight increase in labor cost was primarily due to increased salaries, benefits costs and annual merit increases, partially offset by cost savings actions implemented in the second half of 2023 resulting in headcount reductions. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to higher distribution expenses, vehicle rental costs and equipment repair costs, and higher operating overhead costs. The increase in other segment items was due to an increase in general and administrative expenses that were allocated to the segment.

Net Revenue

Net revenue from the Respiratory Health segment increased by $36.6 million, or 6.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, and increased by $60.4 million, or 10.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. These increases were primarily due to increased patient census driven by strong patient demand for respiratory products. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was also attributable to higher revenues generated from capitated revenue arrangements.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA from the Respiratory Health segment increased by $23.1 million, or 13.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to higher net revenue (as discussed above), offset by increased costs and expenses. The decrease in the cost of products and supplies was primarily due to a decrease in sales revenue and the impact of credits received from a supplier related to certain product recalls which were recognized as a reduction to the cost of products and supplies in 2024, partially offset by general inflationary cost increases. The increase in labor cost was primarily due to increased salaries, benefits costs and annual merit increases. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to higher distribution expenses, vehicle rental costs and equipment repair costs, and higher operating overhead costs. The increase in other segment items was due to an increase in general and administrative expenses that were allocated to the segment.

Adjusted EBITDA from the Respiratory Health segment increased by $15.6 million, or 9.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, due to higher net revenue (as discussed above), offset by increased costs and expenses. The increase in the cost of products and supplies was primarily due to an increase in sales revenue, increased costs associated with the implementation of capitated revenue arrangements, and general inflationary cost increases.

Net Revenue

Net revenue from the Diabetes Health segment decreased by $45.6 million, or 6.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, and decreased by $27.1 million, or 3.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. These decreases were primarily due to a shift in diabetes patients by certain large commercial insurance and other payors from DME suppliers to dual-benefit and pharmacy-only suppliers, and lower net revenue from insulin pumps and supplies as a result of a shift toward more pumps being sold to patients through the pharmacy channel, as well as the effect from manufacturers bringing additional distribution business in-house. The decrease in the 2024 period was also due to a decrease in CGM patient census, while the decrease in the 2023 period was partially offset by an increase in CGM patient census.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA from the Diabetes Health segment decreased by $19.1 million, or 24.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to lower net revenue (as discussed above), offset by decreased costs and expenses. The decrease in the cost of products and supplies was primarily due to a decrease in sales revenue, partially offset by general inflationary cost increases. The increase in labor cost was primarily due to increased severance expense from costs associated with investment in new leadership within the segment and increased salaries and benefits costs. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to higher operating overhead costs. The increase in other segment items was due to an increase in general and administrative expenses that were allocated to the segment.

Adjusted EBITDA from the Diabetes Health segment increased by $6.2 million, or 8.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, due to lower net revenue (as discussed above), offset by decreased costs and expenses. The decrease in the cost of products and supplies was primarily due to a decrease in sales revenue, partially offset by general inflationary cost increases.

The increase in the 2024 period is primarily due to increased revenues from HME products and certain other product categories within this segment, partially offset by decreased revenues related to supplies. The increase in the 2024 period was also attributable to higher revenues generated from capitated revenue arrangements.

The decrease in the cost of products and supplies was primarily due to a decrease in sales revenue and improved margins in certain product categories within this segment, partially offset by general inflationary cost increases. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to higher operating overhead costs. The increase in other segment items was due to an increase in general and administrative expenses that were allocated to the segment.

Adjusted EBITDA from the Wellness at Home segment decreased by $21.3 million, or 24.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, due to higher costs and expenses, offset by higher net revenue (as discussed above).

Free Cash Flow

AdaptHealth 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 AdaptHealth's competitors and to measure the ability of companies to service their debt. AdaptHealth's presentation of free cash flow should not be construed as a measure of liquidity or discretionary cash available to AdaptHealth 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.

AdaptHealth defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of equipment and other fixed assets. For further discussion on free cash flow, including a reconciliation from cash flows provided by operating activities, see Liquidity and Capital Resources - Free Cash Flow below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

AdaptHealth’s principal sources of liquidity are its operating cash flows, borrowings under its credit agreements and other debt arrangements, and proceeds from equity issuances. AdaptHealth has used these funds to meet its capital requirements, which primarily consist of capital expenditures including patient equipment, product and supply costs, salaries, labor, benefits and other employee-related costs, third-party customer service, billing and collections and logistics costs, acquisitions, debt service, and to fund share repurchases. AdaptHealth’s future capital expenditure requirements will depend on many factors, including its patient volume and revenue growth rates.

AdaptHealth’s capital expenditures are made in advance of patients beginning service. Certain operating costs are incurred at the beginning of the equipment service period and during initial patient set up.

AdaptHealth believes that its expected operating cash flows, together with its existing cash and amounts available under its existing credit agreement, will continue to be sufficient to fund its operations and growth strategies for at least the next twelve months.

AdaptHealth may seek additional equity or debt financing in connection with the growth of its business, primarily for acquisitions. In addition, economic conditions may cause disruption in the capital markets, which could make financing more difficult and/or expensive. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, AdaptHealth may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all. If additional capital is unavailable when desired, AdaptHealth’s business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

As of December 31, 2024, AdaptHealth had approximately $109.7 million of cash.

In September 2024, AdaptHealth entered into an amendment to its existing credit agreement (as amended, the "2024 Credit Agreement"). The 2024 Credit Agreement included a $650 million term loan (the “2024 Term Loan”) and $300 million in revolving credit commitments with a $55.0 million letter of credit sublimit (the “2024 Revolver”, and together with the 2024 Term Loan, the "2024 Credit Facility"). The 2024 Credit Facility matures in September 2029. However, if the 6.125% Senior Notes (as defined below) have not been refinanced (to extend the maturity date to a date that is later than December 13, 2029) or repaid in full, on or prior to December 31, 2027, then the 2024 Credit Facility will mature on May 1, 2028; and, if the 4.625% Senior Notes (as defined below) have not been refinanced (to extend the maturity date to a date that is later than December 13, 2029) or repaid in full, on or prior to December 31, 2028, then the 2024 Credit Facility will mature on May 1, 2029. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding borrowing under the 2024 Term Loan requires quarterly principal repayments of $4.1 million through September 30, 2026, increasing to $8.1 million from December 31, 2026 through June 30, 2029, and the remaining unpaid principal balance is due in September 2029. During the year ended December 31, 2024, AdaptHealth made voluntary repayments on the 2024 Term Loan totaling $95.9 million. At December 31, 2024, there was $550.0 million outstanding under the 2024 Term Loan. Borrowings under the 2024 Revolver may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including for capital expenditures and acquisitions permitted under the 2024 Credit Agreement. AdaptHealth had no borrowings under the 2024 Revolver as of the date of this filing. At December 31, 2024, there was $22.4 million outstanding under letters of credit. As of the date

of this filing, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Revolver. At December 31, 2024, based on the financial debt covenants under the 2024 Credit Agreement, the maximum amount AdaptHealth could borrow under the 2024 Revolver and remain in compliance with the financial debt covenants under the agreement was $277.6 million.

At the option of AdaptHealth, amounts borrowed under the 2024 Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates based upon either the Base Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement), payable quarterly, or Term SOFR (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement), payable monthly or every three months depending on the interest period selected. Interest periods for Term SOFR loans are available for one, three, or six months at the option of AdaptHealth. Base Rate loans accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (a) the Base Rate determined on each day (subject to a zero percent floor), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 2.25% per annum based on AdaptHealth's Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement). Term SOFR loans accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (a) Term SOFR for the applicable interest period (subject to a zero percent floor), plus (b) an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.25% per annum based on AdaptHealth's Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. The 2024 Revolver carries a commitment fee during the term of the 2024 Credit Agreement ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum of the actual daily undrawn portion of the 2024 Revolver depending upon AdaptHealth's Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio.

Under the 2024 Credit Agreement, AdaptHealth is subject to a number of restrictive covenants that, among other things, impose operating and financial restrictions on AdaptHealth. Financial covenants include a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, both as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement. The 2024 Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including, among other things, failure to make payments when due thereunder, failure to observe or perform certain covenants, cross-defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency-related events, and non-compliance with healthcare laws. AdaptHealth was in compliance with the applicable covenants in the 2024 Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2024.

Any borrowing under the 2024 Credit Agreement may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, and any amounts repaid under the 2024 Revolver may be reborrowed. Mandatory prepayments are required under the 2024 Revolver when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed the total commitments for revolving credit loans. Mandatory prepayments are also required in connection with certain dispositions of assets and receipt of certain insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to the extent proceeds thereof are not reinvested, and unpermitted debt transactions.

At December 31, 2024, AdaptHealth LLC had $1,450.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes outstanding. In August 2021, AdaptHealth issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior unsecured notes (the “5.125% Senior Notes”). The 5.125% Senior Notes will mature on March 1, 2030. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on March 1st and September 1st of each year. The 5.125% Senior Notes will be redeemable at AdaptHealth’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2025, and the redemption price for the 5.125% Senior Notes if redeemed during the 12 months beginning (i) March 1, 2025 is 102.563%, (ii) March 1, 2026 is 101.281%, (iii) March 1, 2027 and thereafter is 100.000%, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest. AdaptHealth may also redeem some or all of the 5.125% Senior Notes before March 1, 2025 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes, plus a “make-whole” premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, AdaptHealth may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes before March 1, 2025 with the proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.125% of the principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest. Furthermore, AdaptHealth may be required to make an offer to purchase the 5.125% Senior Notes upon the sale of certain assets or upon specific kinds of changes of control.

In January 2021, AdaptHealth LLC issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes (the “4.625% Senior Notes”). The 4.625% Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2029. Interest on the 4.625% Senior Notes is payable on February 1st and August 1st of each year.

Free Cash Flow

The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)202420232022
(Unaudited)
Net cash provided by operating activities$541,839$480,666$373,867
Purchases of equipment and other fixed assets(306,055)(337,463)(391,423)
Free cash flow$235,784$143,203$(17,556)

Free cash flow was $235.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $143.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in free cash flow was due to higher net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to higher net income, and to a lesser extent, a net decrease in the use of cash from operating assets and liabilities, primarily from accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in free cash flow was also due to a decrease in, and timing of, purchases of patient medical equipment for operating requirements.

Free cash flow was positive $143.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to negative $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in free cash flow was primarily due to higher net cash provided by operating activities due to a net decrease in the use of cash from operating assets and liabilities, primarily from accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a decrease in, and timing of, purchases of patient medical equipment for operating requirements, offset by an increase in cash paid for interest.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires its management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. In addition, actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Critical estimates are those that the Company’s management considers the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s critical estimates in relation to its consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition and valuation of goodwill.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized either at a point in time for the sale of supplies and disposables, over the service period for equipment rental (including, but not limited to, CPAP machines, hospital beds, wheelchairs and other equipment), net of implicit price concessions for amounts estimated to be received from patients or under reimbursement arrangements with Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors, including private insurers, or in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services in connection with at-risk capitation arrangements. The Company determines the transaction price based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, referred to as explicit price concessions, adjusted for estimates of variable consideration, such as implicit price concessions, based on historical reimbursement experience. The Company utilizes the expected value method to determine the amount of variable consideration, including implicit and explicit price concessions, that should be included to arrive at the transaction price, using contractual agreements and historical reimbursement experience. The Company applies constraint to the transaction price, such that net revenue is recorded only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in the future. If actual amounts of consideration ultimately received differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net revenue in the period such adjustments become known.

The estimated implicit price concession requires significant judgment as it involves the complexity of third-party billing arrangements, contractual terms and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts. The estimated implicit price concession is developed using assumptions based on the best information available to the Company at the time, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and as a result, actual results may differ significantly from the Company's estimates.

Valuation of Goodwill

The Company has a significant amount of goodwill on its balance sheet that resulted from the business acquisitions the Company has made. Goodwill is not amortized, rather, it is assessed at the reporting unit level for impairment annually and also upon the occurrence of a triggering event or change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such triggering events potentially warranting an annual or interim goodwill impairment assessment include, among other factors, declines in historical or projected revenue, operating income or cash flows, and sustained decreases in the Company’s stock price or market capitalization. Such changes in circumstance can include, among others, changes in the legal environment, reimbursement environment, operating performance, and/or future prospects. Consistent with the examples of such events and circumstances given in the accounting guidance, management believes that a goodwill impairment test should be performed immediately before and after a reorganization of the Company’s reporting structure when the reorganization would affect the composition of one or more of the Company’s reporting units. In this circumstance, performing the impairment test immediately before and after the reorganization would help to confirm that the reorganization is not potentially masking a goodwill impairment charge.

The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year. The impairment assessment can be performed on either a qualitative or quantitative basis. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis. Under the qualitative assessment, the Company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If determined necessary, the Company applies the quantitative impairment test to identify and measure the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If under the quantitative test the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the amount of the impairment loss, if any, is determined based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value up to the total value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors, such as estimates of a reporting unit's fair value, and judgment about impairment triggering events. Fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a weighted methodology considering the output from both the income and market approaches. The income approach incorporates the use of a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including revenue growth rates and discount rates. Several of these assumptions could vary among reporting units. The market approach is performed using the Guideline Public Companies method which is based on earnings multiple data. The Company performs a reconciliation between its market capitalization and its estimate of the aggregate fair value of the reporting units, including consideration of an estimated control premium. As a result, there can be no assurance that the

estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the annual or interim goodwill impairment test will prove to be accurate predictions of the future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements that may be relevant to the Company’s operations but have not yet been adopted are outlined in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (ee) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted, to its consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time and in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, arising from legal proceedings, claims, and governmental and other investigations under or with respect to various governmental programs and state and federal laws relating to its business, including as a result of or following acquisitions and other business activities, that cover a wide range of matters. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If there is no probable estimate within a range of reasonably possible outcomes, the Company’s policy is to record at the low end of the range of such reasonably possible outcomes. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews its accruals at least quarterly and adjusts accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. At this time, the Company has no material accruals related to lawsuits, claims, investigations or proceedings. While there can be no assurance, based on the Company’s evaluation of information currently available, the Company’s management believes any liability that may ultimately result from resolution of such loss contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions or results of operations. However, the Company’s assessment may change in the future based upon availability of new information and further developments in the proceedings of such matters. The results of legal proceedings, claims and investigations are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible. Professional legal fees associated with any such legal proceedings, claims and investigations are expensed as they are incurred.

On July 29, 2021, Robert Charles Faille Jr., a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a purported class action complaint against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for alleged violations of the federal securities laws arising from allegedly false and misleading statements and/or failures to disclose material information regarding changes made to the methodology used to calculate the Company’s organic growth trajectory. On October 14, 2021, the court appointed the Delaware County Employees Retirement System and the Bucks County Employees Retirement System as Lead Plaintiffs. On November 22, 2021, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors on behalf of shareholders that purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s stock and options between November 8, 2019 and July 16, 2021 (as to the complaint, the “Consolidated Complaint”; as to the action, the “Consolidated Class Action”). The Consolidated Complaint generally alleged that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making allegedly false and misleading statements and/or failing to disclose material information regarding changes made to the methodology used to calculate the Company’s organic growth trajectory and the Company’s former Co-CEO’s alleged tax fraud arising from certain past private activity. The Consolidated Complaint sought unspecified damages. On January 20, 2022, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint, which the court denied on June 9, 2022.

On February 26, 2024, the defendants entered into a stipulation and agreement of settlement with the Lead Plaintiffs (the “Securities Settlement”). On March 5, 2024, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On July 10, 2024, the court entered a judgment approving the class action settlement. The judgment certified the putative class for settlement purpose, found that the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate in all respects, and subject to certain exclusions and limitations, released claims on behalf of the settlement class that were asserted or could have been asserted in the Consolidated Class Action against the defendants. The Company’s portion of the settlement consisted of (i) $32.2 million of cash from the Company’s insurance carriers; (ii) $17.8 million of cash from the Company; (iii) 1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Settlement Shares”), which had a fair value of $7.3 million recognized as a liability at December 31, 2023; and (iv) the implementation of certain corporate governance reforms.

On December 6, 2021, a putative shareholder of the Company, Carol Hessler (the “Derivative Plaintiff”), filed a shareholder derivative complaint against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (as to the complaint, the “Derivative Complaint”; as to the action, the “Derivative Action”). The Derivative Complaint generally alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company by, among other things, allegedly causing or allowing misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding changes made to the methodology used to calculate the Company’s organic growth and the Company’s former Co-CEO’s alleged criminal activity and engaging in insider trading. The Derivative Complaint also alleged claims for waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. Finally, the Derivative Complaint alleges that certain of the individual defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by allegedly negligently issuing, causing to be issued, and participating in the issuance of materially misleading statements to stockholders in the Company’s Proxy Statements on Schedule DEF 14A in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 3, 2021, and the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on July 27, 2021. The Derivative Complaint sought, among other things, an award of money damages.

On March 4, 2022, the parties to the Derivative Action stipulated to stay the Derivative Action pending final resolution of the Consolidated Class Action. On March 7, 2022, the court so-ordered the parties’ stipulation.
