LAFAYETTE, LA / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2026 / Viemed Healthcare, Inc. (the "Company" or "Viemed") (NASDAQ:VMD), a national provider of technology-enabled, home-based healthcare solutions and chronic disease management, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program effective through March 2027.

Under the share repurchase program, which constitutes a normal course issuer bid under applicable Canadian securities laws, Viemed may purchase up to 1,930,131 common shares of the Company ("the Common Shares") from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws, representing approximately 5% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares as of March 4, 2026.

The Company intends to repurchase Common Shares through open market purchases, block purchases, or otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws, including pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, daily purchases will be limited to 25% of the average daily volume for the four calendar weeks preceding the date of purchase.

Casey Hoyt, Viemed's Chief Executive Officer, noted, "Our Board's authorization of a new share repurchase program reflects our confidence in the durability of our cash flows, the strength of our balance sheet, and our commitment to disciplined capital allocation. In 2025, we delivered record revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, more than doubled free cash flow year over year, and ended the year with effectively no net debt.

This authorization represents our fourth share repurchase program. Across our three prior programs, we returned approximately $26.3 million to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 4.5 million shares. We view repurchases as an opportunistic and value-oriented component of our broader capital allocation framework, alongside continued investment in organic growth and selective acquisitions. With $13.5 million of cash on hand at year end and substantial availability under our credit facilities, we believe we are well positioned to execute on these priorities while maintaining strong financial flexibility."

The price paid for the Common Shares will be the market price at the time of purchase plus applicable brokerage fees, or such other prices as may be permitted by applicable securities laws. There can be no assurance as to the precise number of Common Shares that will be repurchased under the program, if any. The Company may discontinue its purchases at any time, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. The Common Shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled.
