Adjusted EPS	$			0.32		$			0.59		(45.8	)%

The continued shift to more non-episodic patients in home health and the resumption of sequestration combined to decrease consolidated revenue approximately $11 million. The impact of these items were offset by an approximate $5 million audit recovery related to a prior year home health medical claims review, improved collections experience related to Medicaid in hospice, and an increase in hospice Medicare reimbursements rates effective October 1, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to the revenue items discussed above, higher cost of services and incremental costs associated with being a stand-alone company. Cost of services were higher due to increased labor costs and costs associated with fleet and mileage reimbursement. Increased labor costs primarily resulted from a $4.3 million increase in employee group medical claims year over year.

Total admissions decreased primarily due to a reduction in episodic admissions partially offset by continued growth in non-episodic admissions. Revenue per episode decreased year over year primarily due to the resumption of sequestration and timing of completed episodes partially offset by an increase in Medicare reimbursement rates and an approximate $5 million audit recovery related to a prior year medical claims review.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased year over year primarily due to lower revenue and higher cost of services associated with labor and increased costs associated with fleet and mileage reimbursement. Increased labor costs primarily resulted from a $2.8 million increase in employee group medical claims.

Revenue per day increased 5.8% year over year primarily due to an increase in Medicare reimbursement rates and improved collections experience related to Medicaid in hospice partially offset by the resumption of sequestration. Average daily census increased sequentially from the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to improvements in staffing capacity.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased year over year primarily due to increased labor costs and costs associated with fleet and mileage reimbursement. Increased labor costs primarily resulted from lower clinical productivity associated with nurses in orientation, increased use of contract labor, and a $0.5 million increase in employee group medical claims.

OTHER INFORMATION

Note regarding presentation of non-GAAP financial measures

The financial data contained in the press release and supplemental information includes non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, leverage ratios, adjusted EPS, and adjusted free cash flow. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are presented on the attached schedules.

However, in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, reconciliation of its guidance of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to their corresponding GAAP measures is not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation, without unreasonable effort, due to the inherent difficulty in predicting, with reasonable certainty, the future impact of items that are outside the control of the Company or otherwise non-indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Such items include, but are not limited to, gains or losses related to hedging instruments; loss on early extinguishment of debt; adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims); and items related to corporate and facility restructurings. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Note regarding presentation of same-store comparisons

The Company uses “same-store” comparisons to explain the changes in certain performance metrics and line items within its financial statements. Same-store comparisons are calculated based on home health and hospice locations open throughout both the full current period and the immediately prior period presented. These comparisons include the financial results of market consolidation transactions in existing markets, as it is difficult to determine, with precision, the incremental impact of these transactions on the Company’s results of operations.
