(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, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Third Quarter Business Highlights
- Made solid progress in the second full quarter of the Company’s exclusive capitated agreement with a large national integrated delivery network, with utilization lower than peak levels and reduced labor costs driving a sequential improvement in contract profitability.
- Cleared the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period for the pending sale of the Company’s Diabetes Health business for $235.0 million in cash, with the transaction on track to close in early 2027, subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
- Signed preferred-provider agreements with four health systems, and broadened its capitated portfolio through two smaller agreements with regional health plans, one new and one expanded.
- Grew registered myAPP users to more than 615,000, up approximately 88% from year-end 2025, and completed more than 12,600 patient scans with its AI-powered mask-fitting tool.
Third Quarter Results
All comparisons are to the quarter ended September 30, 2025 unless otherwise stated. The amounts presented below reflect the Company’s continuing operations, except for cash flow from operations and free cash flow, which include the cash flows from continuing operations and discontinued operations, see below for further discussion.
- Net revenue was $745.6 million compared to $672.4 million, an increase of 10.9%.
- Organic revenue growth of 12.8%, with growth across each of the Company’s reportable segments.
- Net loss attributable to AdaptHealth Corp. was $168.2 million compared to net income of $10.2 million, largely resulting from a $184.8 million pre-tax write down of goodwill.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $141.9 million compared to $146.1 million, a decrease of 2.9%.
- Cash flow from operations was $395.6 million year-to-date 2026, a decrease from $418.6 million during the comparable period in 2025, and free cash flow was $2.6 million year-to-date 2026, compared to $140.1 million during the comparable period in 2025.
Management Commentary
“In the third quarter, we delivered strong organic revenue growth and exceeded our guidance for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow,” said Suzanne Foster, Chief Executive Officer. “Our capitated partnership made a positive contribution to enterprise Adjusted EBITDA, driven by a tighter labor model and lower costs to serve. We also continue to move toward closing the sale of our Diabetes Health business, bringing us closer to a more focused portfolio built around Sleep Health, Respiratory Health and Wellness-at-Home. The business is stabilizing as we work through a period of transformation, and we look forward to carrying that momentum into 2027.”
Financial Outlook
The Company is revising its financial guidance for fiscal year 2026 on a continuing operations basis, which excludes the Diabetes Health business, except for free cash flow, which includes the cash flows from continuing operations and discontinued operations, as follows:
- Net revenue of $2.88 billion to $2.90 billion, from $2.85 billion to $2.89 billion
- Adjusted EBITDA of $510 million to $525 million, from $490 million to $520 million
- Free cash flow of $50 million to $75 million, from $80 million to $120 million

About AdaptHealth Corp.
AdaptHealth is a national leader in providing patient-centered, healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment, medical supplies, and related services. The Company operates under three reportable segments that align with its product categories: (i) Sleep Health, (ii) Respiratory Health, and (iii) Wellness at Home. 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. 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. 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.
In July 2026, AdaptHealth entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Diabetes Health business for $235.0 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. As a result of this transaction, the Diabetes Health business met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. Therefore, AdaptHealth has reported the results of the Diabetes Health business, including the results of operations, and related assets and liabilities, as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein.
The Company is proud to partner with an extensive and highly diversified network of referral sources, including acute care hospitals, sleep labs, pulmonologists, skilled nursing facilities, and clinics. AdaptHealth services beneficiaries of Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance payors, reaching approximately 4.8 million patients annually in all 50 states through its network of approximately 660 locations in 48 states.

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.
Forward-looking statements notice
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.

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.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Financial Guidance
The Company uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, free cash flow and organic revenue, 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are 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.
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 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 the Company’s liquidity.
The Company uses organic revenue, which is a financial measure that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, to analyze its financial results and believes that it is useful to investors, as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures. The change in net revenue from organic revenue is reported as organic revenue as a percentage of prior period total reported net revenue. Management believes organic revenue is meaningful to investors as it provides appropriate visibility into how the Company changes organically - that is, within its existing operations using its own resources.
Organic revenue is defined as all changes in reported net revenues from the comparable period presented, excluding: (1) increases in net revenue in the current period from acquisitions attributable to businesses and/or assets the Company has owned for less than one year based on the month of acquisition. This excludes the acquisition of assets from previous providers to facilitate the transition of patients related to newly awarded at-risk capitated contracts, since the revenue related to these agreements is earned organically; and (2) decreases in net revenue from dispositions existing in the prior period from divested product lines, services, and/or businesses for which there is no revenue recognized in the current period.
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.
