Commitments in Place from Existing Creditors to Strengthen Balance Sheet, Extend Maturities, and Reduce Leverage

Accendra Health, Inc. (NYSE:ACH) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and announced a more than $1.5 billion comprehensive balance sheet optimization transaction with commitments from existing creditors that will strengthen the balance sheet, significantly extend maturities and reduce total leverage. Unless otherwise noted, the results herein reflect the Company's continuing operations, which represent what was previously the Patient Direct segment and certain functional operations.

"Our first quarter results were aligned with our expectations as we continue our transformation into a pure play home based care company. We are also pleased to report that transition services and other separation activity related to our divestiture of Owens & Minor are on track and going according to schedule," said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer, Accendra Health.

"Also, this morning we announced the receipt of commitments from existing creditors that will allow us to conduct a holistic reset of our capital structure and establish the long-term foundation for Accendra Health. Key benefits include paying off our 2027 maturities, a multi-year extension of our revolving credit facility, meaningful debt reduction, and other maturity extensions. This comprehensive solution should provide the business with the appropriate level of liquidity and allows for strategic and financial flexibility for our future," Pesicka concluded.

The Company plans to effectuate the balance sheet optimization transaction in the near term. Further details on the transactions are available in supplemental slides included on Form 8-K filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission this morning.

(1) Reconciliations of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below.

2026 Continuing Operations Financial Outlook

The company is affirming its prior guidance for net revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2026.

Although the Company provides guidance for adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP financial measure), it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impracticable for the Company to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring and acquisition charges which could have a significant and unpredictable impact on our GAAP results. As a result, no GAAP guidance or reconciliation of the Company's adjusted EBITDA guidance is provided. The outlook is based on certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, market conditions, consumer demand, supply chain stability, interest rates, and other factors that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the Company's filings with the SEC.

The following items have been excluded in our non-GAAP financial measures:

⁽¹⁾ Acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes $16 million of acquisition-related costs related to the terminated acquisition of Rotech, which consisted primarily of legal and professional fees. Acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization also include amortization of intangible assets established during acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Acquisition-related charges consist primarily of one-time costs related to acquisitions, including transaction costs necessary to consummate acquisitions, such as advisory fees and legal fees, director and officer tail insurance expense, as well as transition costs, such as severance and retention bonuses, information technology (IT) integration costs and professional fees. These amounts are highly dependent on the size and frequency of acquisitions and are being excluded to allow for a more consistent comparison with forecasted, current and historical results.

⁽²⁾ During the three months ended March 31, 2026 exit and realignment (income) charges, net was $(24) million and primarily included a $(52) million gain on sales of patient service equipment in response to the contract termination with a commercial Payor, net separation costs incurred after the P&HS Sale of $26 million and charges related to IT and other strategic initiatives of $2.0 million. Exit and realignment charges, net were $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and primarily included professional fees associated with strategic initiatives of $6.2 million and wind-down costs of Fusion5 of $6.8 million. These costs are not normal recurring, cash operating expenses necessary for the Company to operate its business on an ongoing basis.

⁽³⁾ Litigation and related charges includes settlement costs and related charges of legal matters. These costs do not occur in the ordinary course of our business, and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.

⁽⁴⁾ Other depreciation and amortization relates to patient service equipment and other fixed assets, excluding such amounts captured within exit and realignment (income) charges, net or acquisition-related charges.

⁽⁵⁾ Stock compensation includes share-based compensation expense related to our share-based compensation plans, excluding such amounts captured within exit and realignment (income) charges, net or acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization.

⁽⁶⁾ For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, other includes interest costs and net actuarial losses related to our frozen noncontributory, unfunded retirement plan for certain retirees in the United States (U.S.).

⁽⁷⁾ Non-cash convert to sale write off expense includes non-cash charges primarily for equipment converted from rental to sales, excluding such amounts captured within in exit & realignment (income) charges, net. This reflects the non-cash write-off of the remaining book value of patient service equipment at the time of sale. The purchase of patient service equipment is captured within capital expenditures and is subsequently charged to our statements of operations through normal depreciation and this non-cash convert to sale write off expense. This line item does not include non-cash write off expense associated with sales of patient service equipment in connection with the contract termination with a commercial Payor, as such amounts are captured within exit & realignment (income) charges, net.

⁽⁸⁾ These charges and income have been tax effected by determining the income tax rate depending on the amount of charges incurred in different tax jurisdictions and the deductibility of those charges for income tax purposes.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In general, the measures exclude items and charges that (i) management does not believe reflect Accendra Health, Inc.'s (the Company) core business and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company's performance, evaluate the balance sheet, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on its financial and operating results and in comparing the Company's performance to that of its competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
