Operating Results
“Pennant delivered another strong quarter, putting us on pace to exceed the top end of our original full year guidance,” said Brent Guerisoli, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are driving operational excellence across both segments, including at our recently-acquired operations in the southeast, even as we complete their integration. That process is unfolding ahead of our expectations, and we are now transitioning the two largest waves of operations, which we expect to fully complete by the middle of the fourth quarter.”
“Our segments continue to deliver healthy growth,” said John Gochnour, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. “We have been focused on operational excellence at every level, which is producing compelling clinical results and record financial performance. In the home health and hospice segment, years of rigorous investment and innovation helped us weather the challenging reimbursement environment of the last few years and now positions us to benefit from the more stable payment landscape that appears ahead. On the senior living side, our focus on finding and developing great leaders has enabled us to pursue numerous attractive acquisitions year-to-date, build out local care continuums, and continue to grow our real estate portfolio.”
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-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, 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 Update
Management is providing updated 2026 annual guidance as follows: total revenue is anticipated to be between $1,171.1 million and $1,190.1 million; full year 2026 adjusted earnings per diluted share is anticipated to be between $1.34 and $1.41; full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be between $94.4 million and $98.0 million; and full year adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI is anticipated to be $101.5 million to $105.1 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 year-to-date performance and current operating conditions. Our guidance includes revenue in the range of $196.0 to $198.0 million, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $17.0 to $18.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI of $20.8 to $22.5 million relating to these former UnitedHealth and Amedisys assets.”

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.

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) other 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) other 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.
