1. Nature of Operations, Consolidation, and Presentation of Financial Statements

Addus HomeCare Corporation (“Holdings”) and its subsidiaries (together with Holdings, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operate as a multi-state provider of three distinct but related business segments providing in-home services. In its personal care segment, the Company provides non-medical assistance with activities of daily living, primarily to persons who are at increased risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill, or disabled. In its hospice segment, the Company provides physical, emotional, and spiritual care for people who are terminally ill as well as related services for their families. In its home health segment, the Company provides services that are primarily medical in nature to individuals who may require assistance during an illness or after hospitalization and include skilled nursing and physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The Company’s payors include federal, state, and local governmental agencies, managed care organizations, commercial insurers, and private individuals.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 previously filed with the SEC. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended (“Annual Report on Form 10-K”), which includes information and disclosures not included herein.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for the fair statement of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented in conformity with GAAP. Our results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.

Principles of Consolidation

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Addus HomeCare Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates

The financial statements are prepared by management in conformity with GAAP and include estimated amounts and certain disclosures based on assumptions about future events. The Company’s critical accounting estimates include the following areas: revenue recognition, goodwill and intangibles and business combinations, and when required, the quantitative assessment of goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 during the year ended December 31, 2025. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and expanded income tax disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which replaces the incurred-loss model with a forward-looking current expected credit loss model that requires recognition of lifetime expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures (including trade accounts receivable and contract assets), using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which intends to provide investors more detailed disclosures around specific types of expenses. The new disclosures require certain details for expenses presented on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations as well as selling expenses to be presented in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting the updated provisions.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The new guidance intends to modernize the guidance related to internal-use software costs to reflect current software development methods. It requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and may be adopted using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and permits modified prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated the guidance and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies certain interim reporting guidance. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has evaluated the guidance and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Divestiture

Effective May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell all of the Company’s New York operations for a purchase price of up to $23.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for future operating requirements (the “New York Asset Sale”). The purchase price included 50% cash consideration, paid out as an initial payment of $4.6 million and $6.9 million paid pro rata as a deferred payment as caregivers are transferred, and 50% in the form of contingent consideration for the Company’s New York Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (“CDPAP”) business. No amount was recorded related to the CDPAP business contingent consideration. The Company entered into a consulting agreement with the purchaser effective May 20, 2024, as the transfer of clients and caregivers and payment for assets pursuant to the New York Asset Sale is occurring over time as regulatory approvals are received, coordination of the transfer of clients and caregivers occurs, and the change of control takes place. The Company determined that the consulting agreement gave it the ability to control the business until October 2024, when the Company determined that it no longer controlled the business as it transferred more than 50% of the clients and caregivers and therefore qualified for sale consideration of the New York Asset Sale. As a result, the Company deconsolidated the results of its New York operations and recorded a gain on divestiture of $3.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The gain was reflected within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a lease modification reducing operating lease assets and liabilities by $1.6 million.

7. ARPA Spending Plans

To mitigate the fiscal effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) provided for a 10-percentage point increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid home and community-based services (“HCBS”) from April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022, provided the states satisfied certain conditions. States must submit periodic HCBS spending plans to CMS regarding the federal and state funds tied to the increase in federal matching funds. Although states were generally permitted to use the associated state funds by March 31, 2025, CMS granted extensions to several states and some state spending plans continue through September 30, 2026.

HCBS spending plans for the additional matching funds vary by state, but common initiatives in which the Company participates include those aimed at strengthening the provider workforce (e.g., efforts to recruit, retain, and train direct service providers). The Company is required to properly and fully document the use of such funds in reports to the state in which the funds originated. Funds may be subject to recoupment if not expended or if they are expended on non-approved uses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company received additional state funding provided by the ARPA of $6.2 million. Of the total state funding received by the Company pursuant to the ARPA through March 31, 2026, the Company utilized $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily for caregivers and adding support to recruiting and retention efforts, included as a reduction of cost of service revenues in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2026, the deferred portion of ARPA funding of $14.6 million is included within Government stimulus advances on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Less unamortized issuance costs		(3,061	)		(3,376	)
Long-term debt	$	91,274		$	120,959

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 31, 2018, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with certain lenders and Capital One, National Association, as a lender and as agent for all lenders, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2019, as further amended by the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2021, as further amended by the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2023, and as further amended by the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2024 (as described below, the “Fourth Amendment”) (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”, as used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “credit facility” shall mean the credit facility evidenced by the Credit Agreement). The credit facility consists of a $650.0 million revolving credit facility and a $150.0 million incremental loan facility, which incremental loan facility may be for term loans or an increase to the revolving loan commitments. The maturity of this credit facility is July 30, 2028.

On October 22, 2024, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to, among other things, (a) increase the Company’s revolving credit facility to an aggregate amount of $650.0 million, (b) increase the Company’s incremental loan facility to an aggregate amount of $150.0 million, and (c) extend the maturity date of the credit facility from July 30, 2026 to July 30, 2028.

Interest on the credit facility may be payable at (x) the sum of (i) an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio plus (ii) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate,” (b) the sum of the federal funds rate plus a margin of 0.50%, and (c) the sum of Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (as published by the CME Group Benchmark Administrative Limited) for an interest period of one month for such applicable day (not to be less than 0.00%), plus a margin of 1.00% or (y) the sum of (i) an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio plus (ii) the rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR (as published by the CME Group Benchmark Administrative Limited) for the applicable interest period (not to be less than 0.00%). Swing loans may not be SOFR loans.

Addus HealthCare, Inc. (“Addus HealthCare”) is the borrower, and its parent, Holdings, and substantially all of Holdings’ subsidiaries are guarantors under this credit facility, and it is collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s and the other credit parties’ current and future tangible and intangible assets, including the shares of stock of the borrower and subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company with respect to liens, indebtedness, guaranties, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, and dispositions of assets. The availability of additional draws under this credit facility is conditioned, among other things, upon (after giving effect to such draws) the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not exceeding 3.75:1.00. In certain circumstances, in connection with a Material Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Company can elect to increase its Total Net Leverage Ratio compliance covenant to 4.25:1.00 for the then current fiscal quarter and the three succeeding fiscal quarters.

The Company pays a fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% based on the applicable senior net leverage ratio times the unused portion of the revolving loan portion of the credit facility.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants regarding, among other things, the maintenance of records, compliance with laws, maintenance of permits, maintenance of insurance and property and payment of taxes. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary financial covenants and negative covenants that, among other things, include a requirement to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a requirement to stay below a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement also contains restrictions on guarantees, indebtedness, liens, investments and loans, subject to customary carve outs, a restriction on dividends (provided that Addus HealthCare may make distributions to the Company in an amount that does not exceed $10.0 million in any year absent of an event of default, plus limited exceptions for tax and administrative distributions), a restriction on the ability to consummate acquisitions (without the consent of the lenders) under its credit facility subject to compliance with the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) thresholds, restrictions on mergers, dispositions of assets, and affiliate transactions, and restrictions on fundamental changes and lines of business.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not draw on its credit facility and repaid $30.0 million under the revolving credit facility.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a total of $94.3 million of revolving loans, with an interest rate of 5.43%, outstanding on its credit facility. After giving effect to the amount drawn on its credit facility, approximately $7.9 million of outstanding letters of credit and borrowing limits based on an advance multiple of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Company had $650.0 million of capacity and $547.8 million available for borrowing under its credit facility. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a total of $124.3 million of revolving loans, with an interest rate of 5.48%, outstanding on its credit facility.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

9. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates were 22.7% and 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the difference between our federal statutory and effective income tax rates was principally due to the inclusion of state taxes, non-deductible compensation, partially offset by the use of federal employment tax credits and an excess tax benefit. For both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the effective tax rates were inclusive of an excess tax benefit of 3.1% and 4.7%, respectively. The excess tax expense and tax benefit are discrete items, related to the vesting of equity shares, which requires the Company to recognize the expense or benefit fully in the period. An excess tax expense results if the Company’s cumulative costs of the award recognized exceed the income tax deduction, whereas an excess tax benefit results if the Company’s cumulative costs of the award recognized are less than the income tax deduction.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal and/or administrative proceedings incidental to its business.

It is the opinion of management that the outcome of pending legal and/or administrative proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

11. Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM. The Company identifies its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer together as CODMs to assess the performance of the individual segments and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments. The Company operates as a multi-state provider of three business segments providing in-home services.

In its personal care segment, the Company provides non-medical assistance with activities of daily living, primarily to persons who are at increased risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill or disabled. In its hospice segment, the Company provides physical, emotional, and spiritual care for people who are terminally ill as well as related services for their families. In its home health segment, the Company provides services that are primarily medical in nature to individuals who may require assistance during an illness or after hospitalization and include skilled nursing and physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

The Company’s method for measuring profitability on each reportable segment basis is the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies and its CODMs frequently review the actual result to budget variance to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. Segment operating income consists of revenue generated by a segment, less the direct costs of service revenues and general and administrative expenses that are incurred directly by the segment. Unallocated general and administrative costs are those costs for functions performed in a centralized manner and therefore not attributable to a particular segment. These costs include accounting, finance, human resources, legal, information technology, corporate office support and facility costs and overall corporate management.

The CODMs do not review disaggregated assets by segment. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

A substantial portion of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivable are derived from services performed for federal, state, and local governmental agencies. The personal care segment derives a significant amount of its net service revenues in Illinois, which represented 32.1% and 33.0% of our net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Illinois Department on Aging, the largest payor program for the Company’s Illinois personal care operations, accounted for 17.8% and 18.5% of the Company’s net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The related receivables due from the Illinois Department on Aging represented 23.1% and 25.2% of the Company’s net accounts receivable at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

13. Subsequent Events

On May 1, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of an Indiana limited liability company doing business as HomeCourt Home Care for approximately $12.5 million (the “HomeCourt Acquisition”). The purchase was funded through the Company’s available cash. The HomeCourt Acquisition expanded the Company’s services within its personal care segment in Indiana. The initial accounting is not yet complete, and therefore the related business combination disclosures have not been presented as the Company is currently in the process of valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction.

Overview

We are a home care services provider operating three segments: personal care, hospice, and home health. Our services are principally provided in-home under agreements with federal, state, and local government agencies, managed care organizations, commercial insurers, and private individuals. Our consumers are predominantly “dual eligible,” meaning they are eligible to receive both Medicare and Medicaid benefits. Managed care organizations accounted for 38.3% and 36.4% of our net service revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

A summary of certain consolidated financial results is provided in the table below.

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Net service revenues by segment:	(Amounts in Thousands)
Personal care	$	281,094	$	258,286
Hospice		65,785		61,437
Home health		16,732		17,985
Total net service revenue	$	363,611	$	337,708

Net income	$	25,069	$	21,228

As of March 31, 2026, we provided our services in 23 states through 263 offices. Our personal care segment also includes staffing services, with clients including assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and hospice facilities.

Acquisitions

In addition to our organic growth, we have grown through acquisitions that have expanded our presence in current markets, with the goal of having all three levels of in-home care in our markets or facilitating our entry into new markets where in-home care has been moving to managed care organizations or that present other strategic opportunities.

On January 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of its Jacksonville affiliate (the “Jacksonville Acquisition”) for approximately $0.8 million, with funding provided by available cash. With the Jacksonville Acquisition, the Company expanded its personal care segment in Florida and recorded goodwill of $0.8 million.

On March 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of the assets of Great Lakes Home Care Unlimited, LLC (the “Great Lakes Acquisition”) for $2.6 million, with funding provided by available cash. With the Great Lakes Acquisition, the Company expanded its personal care segment in Michigan and recognized goodwill in its personal care segment of $2.6 million.

On August 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Helping Hands Home Care Service, Inc. (the “Helping Hands Acquisition”), for approximately $21.4 million, with funding through the Company’s revolving credit facility and available cash. With the purchase of Helping Hands, the Company expanded its services within its personal care segment and entered the hospice and home health markets in Pennsylvania and recognized goodwill in its personal care segment of $19.0 million.

On October 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Gold Horses, LLC (the “Gold Horses Acquisition”), for approximately $7.4 million, with funding provided by available cash. With the Gold Horses Acquisition, the Company expanded its services within its personal care segment in Texas and recognized goodwill in its personal care segment of $7.4 million.

New York Asset Sale

Effective May 20, 2024, we entered into the New York Asset Sale. The Company entered into a consulting agreement with the purchaser, as the transfer of clients and caregivers and payment for assets pursuant to the New York Asset Sale is occurring over time as regulatory approvals are received, coordination of the transfer of clients and caregivers occurs, and the change of control takes place. In connection with this transaction, the Company ceased operations in New York. See Note 3 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Divestiture, for additional details regarding our divestiture.

Recruiting

As the labor market continues to be tight and unemployment remains at low levels, the competition for new caregivers, including skilled healthcare staff, and support staff continues to be significant. In addition, the United States economy continues to experience inflationary pressures. To the extent that we continue to experience a shortage of caregivers, it may hinder our ability to fully meet the continuing demand for both our non-clinical and clinical services.

Revenue by Payor and Significant States

Our payors are principally federal, state, and local governmental agencies and managed care organizations. The federal, state, and local programs under which the agencies operate are subject to legislative and budgetary changes and other risks that can influence reimbursement rates. We have experienced a transition of business from government payors to managed care organizations, which we believe aligns with our emphasis on coordinated care and the reduction of the need for acute care.

Our revenue by payor and significant states by segment were as follows:

*Personal Care Segment*	For the Three Months Ended March 31,

The personal care segment derives a significant amount of its net service revenues in Illinois, which represented 32.1% and 33.0% of our net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

A significant amount of our net service revenues are derived from one payor, the Illinois Department on Aging, the largest payor program for our Illinois personal care operations, which accounted for 17.8% and 18.5% of our net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Changes in Illinois Reimbursement

As noted above, we derive a significant amount of our net service revenues in Illinois. Changes to reimbursement rates and minimum wage requirements may materially impact our revenues. For example, the Illinois fiscal year 2026 budget included an increase in hourly rates for in-home care services to $30.80, effective January 1, 2026, and required a minimum wage of $18.75 per hour for direct service workers. CMS approved an amendment to Illinois’ Persons Who are Elderly waiver program that included this rate increase, effective January 1, 2026.

The City of Chicago requires the Chicago minimum wage to be adjusted annually based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), subject to a cap and other requirements. Effective July 1, 2025, the rate was adjusted to $16.60 based on the increase in the CPI.

Our business will benefit from the rate increases noted above for 2026, but there is no assurance that there will be additional rate increases in Illinois for fiscal years beyond fiscal year 2026 to offset increases to minimum wage, and our financial performance will be adversely impacted for any periods in which an additional offsetting reimbursement rate increase is not in effect.

Changes in Texas Reimbursement

The Texas fiscal year 2026 budget included an increase in hourly rates to $17.13 for in-home care services effective September 1, 2025.

Changes in Medicare Reimbursement

Hospice

Hospice services provided to Medicare beneficiaries are paid under the Medicare Hospice Prospective Payment System, under which CMS sets a daily rate for each day a patient is enrolled in the hospice benefit. The daily rate depends on the level of care provided to a patient (routine home care, continuous home care, inpatient respite care, or general inpatient care). Daily rates are adjusted for factors such as area wage levels. CMS updates hospice payment rates each federal fiscal year. Effective October 1, 2025, CMS increased hospice payment rates by 2.6%. This reflects a 3.3% market basket increase and a negative 0.7 percentage point productivity adjustment. Hospices that do not satisfy quality reporting requirements are subject to a 4-percentage point reduction to the market basket update.

Overall payments made by Medicare to each hospice provider number are subject to an inpatient cap and an aggregate cap. The inpatient cap limits the number of days of inpatient care for which Medicare will pay to no more than 20% of total patient care days. Days in excess of the limitation are paid at the routine home care rate. The aggregate cap limits the total Medicare reimbursement that a hospice may receive in a cap year (typically the federal fiscal year) based on an annual per-beneficiary cap amount, which is set each federal fiscal year, and the number of Medicare patients served. The per-beneficiary cap amount was updated to $35,361.44 for federal fiscal year 2026. If a hospice’s Medicare payments exceed its inpatient or aggregate caps, it must repay Medicare the excess amount.

Home Health

Home health services provided to Medicare beneficiaries are paid under the Medicare Home Health Prospective Payment System (“HHPPS”), which uses national, standardized 30-day period payment rates for periods of care that meet a certain threshold of home health visits (periods of care that do not meet the visit threshold are paid a per-visit payment rate for the discipline providing care). Although payment is made for each 30-day period, the HHPPS permits continuous 60-day certification periods through which beneficiaries are verified as eligible for the home health benefit. The daily home health payment rate is adjusted for case-mix and area wage levels. CMS uses the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (“PDGM”) as the case-mix classification model to place periods of care into payment categories, classifying patients based on clinical characteristics and their resource needs. An outlier adjustment may be paid for periods of care where costs exceed a specific threshold amount.

CMS updates the HHPPS payment rates each calendar year. For calendar year 2026, CMS estimates that Medicare payments to home health agencies will decrease by 1.3%. This is based on a home health payment update percentage of 2.4%, which reflects a 3.2% market basket update, reduced by a productivity adjustment of 0.8 percentage points, among other changes. Home health providers that do not comply with quality data reporting requirements are subject to a 2-percentage point reduction to their market basket update. In addition, Medicare requires home health agencies to submit a one-time Notice of Admission (“NOA”) for each patient that establishes that the beneficiary is under a Medicare home health period of care. Failure to submit the NOA within five calendar days from the start of care will result in a reduction to the 30-day period payment amount for each day from the start of care date until the date the NOA is submitted.

Under the nationwide Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (“HHVBP”) Model, home health agencies receive increases or decreases to their Medicare fee-for-service payments of up to 5% based on performance against specific quality measures relative to the performance of other home health providers. Data collected in each performance year will impact Medicare payments two years later.

Payment of claims may be impacted by the Review Choice Demonstration for Home Health Services, a program intended to identify and prevent fraud, reduce the number of Medicare appeals and improve provider compliance with Medicare program requirements. The program is currently limited to home health agencies in Illinois, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Florida, and Texas. Providers in states subject to the Review Choice Demonstration for Home Health Services may initially select either pre-claim review or post-payment review. Home health agencies that maintain high compliance levels are eligible for additional options that may be less burdensome. This program has not had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

CMS Final Rule: “Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services”

In May 2024, CMS finalized a rule intended to improve access to services and quality of care for Medicaid beneficiaries across fee-for-service and managed care delivery systems. The final rule includes significant provisions related to HCBS, including the “80/20” or “payment adequacy” requirement, which will require states to ensure by mid-2030 that at least 80% of all Medicaid payments a provider receives for homemaker, home health aide, and personal care services, less certain excluded costs, under specified programs are spent on total compensation (including benefits) for direct care workers furnishing these services, rather than administrative overhead or profit, subject to limited exceptions. The final rule includes several other measures intended to promote transparency and enhance quality and access to services, including a variety of reporting requirements for states. Given the long implementation period and the likelihood of further changes as a result of litigation, administration and congressional changes, further rule-making and state changes in response to the final rule, it is premature to predict the ultimate impact of the final rule on our business. Some states have adopted or may consider adopting similar caregiver compensation requirements.

Potential Developments

Home care and other healthcare providers may be significantly impacted by changes to the Medicaid program, including changes resulting from legislation and administrative actions at the federal and state levels. Federal actions may impact funding for, or the structure of, the Medicaid program, including through changes to Medicaid waiver programs, and may shape provider reimbursement rates, eligibility and coverage policies, waiver programs and other aspects of state Medicaid programs at the state level. For example, the budget reconciliation legislation enacted on July 4, 2025, commonly known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”), includes provisions that are expected to result in Medicaid spending reductions and changes in administration of state Medicaid programs. Among other changes, the law requires changes to Medicaid financing mechanisms, including restrictions intended to reduce the federal matching funds received by state Medicaid programs, with greater restrictions in states that have expanded Medicaid. In addition, some members of Congress and the executive branch have raised, and Congress in the future may adopt, other proposals intended to reduce Medicaid expenditures such as restructuring the Medicaid program to give states a “block grant” or fixed amount of overall funding for their respective Medicaid programs or to impose spending caps such as per Medicaid beneficiary limits on federal contributions. Reductions in federal funding or changes to the federal funding formula for Medicaid under the OBBBA or future initiatives could have a significant impact, particularly in states that expanded Medicaid under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “ACA”), and especially if federal contributions for Medicaid expansion populations decrease and states are unable to offset the reductions. Decreased federal funding and increased state obligations and administrative burden could strain state budgets, which could result in state limitations on Medicaid eligibility or coverage, payment rate reductions, and changes to Medicaid waiver programs, among other effects.

The outcome of the 2024 federal elections, affecting both the executive and legislative branches, has increased regulatory uncertainty and the potential for significant policy changes. The President has issued executive orders that impact or may impact the healthcare industry. Further, some members of Congress and the presidential administration have raised potential measures intended to accelerate the shift from traditional Medicare to Medicare Advantage or eliminating some or all of the consumer protections established by the ACA.

Components of our Statements of Income

Net Service Revenues

We generate net service revenues by providing our services directly to consumers and primarily on an hourly basis in our personal care segment, on a daily basis in our hospice segment, and on an episodic basis in our home health segment. We receive payment for providing such services from our private consumers and payors, including federal, state, and local governmental agencies, managed care organizations, and commercial insurers.

In our personal care segment, net service revenues are principally provided based on authorized hours, determined by the relevant agency, at an hourly rate, which is either contractual or fixed by legislation, and are recognized at the time services are rendered. In our hospice segment, net service revenues are provided based on daily rates for each of the levels of care and are recognized as services are provided. In our home health segment, net service revenues are based on an episodic basis at a stated rate and recognized based on the number of days elapsed during a period of care within the reporting period. We also record estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record revenues.

Cost of Service Revenues

We incur direct care wages, payroll taxes, and benefit-related costs in connection with providing our services. We also provide workers’ compensation and general liability coverage for our employees. Employees are also reimbursed for their travel time and related travel costs in certain instances.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses include our costs for operating our network of local agencies and our administrative offices. Our agency expenses consist of costs for supervisory personnel, our community care supervisors, and office administrative costs. Personnel costs include wages, payroll taxes, and employee benefits. Facility costs include rents, utilities, and postage, telephone, and office expenses. Our corporate and support center expenses include costs for accounting, information systems, human resources, billing and collections, contracting, marketing, and executive leadership. These expenses consist of compensation, including stock-based compensation, payroll taxes, employee benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees, travel, general insurance, rents, provision for doubtful accounts, and related facility costs. Expenses related to streamlining our operations such as costs related to terminated employees, termination of professional services relationships, other contract termination costs, and asset write-offs are also included in general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciable assets consist principally of furniture and equipment, network administration and telephone equipment, and operating system software. Depreciable and leasehold assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line method over their useful lives or, if less and if applicable, their lease terms. We amortize our intangible assets with finite lives, consisting of customer and referral relationships, trade names, trademarks, and non-competition agreements, using straight line or accelerated methods based upon their estimated useful lives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is reported when incurred and principally consists of interest and unused credit line fees on the credit facility.

Income Tax Expense

All of our income is from domestic sources. We incur state and local taxes in states in which we operate. The effective income tax rates were 22.7% and 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, compared to our federal statutory rate of 21%. The difference between our federal statutory and effective income tax rates was principally due to the inclusion of state taxes, non-deductible compensation, excess tax expense or benefit and the use of federal employment tax credits.

Net service revenues increased by 7.7% to $363.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $337.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Revenue increased by $22.8 million in our personal care segment, by $4.3 million in our hospice segment and decreased by $1.3 million in our home health segment during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in our personal care segment was primarily due to organic growth in billable hours combined with the Gold Horses Acquisition and the Helping Hands Acquisition. The increase in our hospice segment revenue was due to organic growth in average daily census. The decrease in our home health segment was primarily attributed to lower volumes.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, was 31.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 31.9% for the same period in 2025.

General and administrative expenses increased to $77.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $73.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to acquisition activity, including the Gold Horses Acquisition and Helping Hands Acquisition, which contributed to an increase in administrative employee wage, bonus, tax, and benefit costs of $3.3 million. General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, were 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Interest expense decreased to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings and a lower weighted average interest rate under our credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2026,compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

All of our income is from domestic sources. We incur state and local taxes in states in which we operate. The effective income tax rate was 22.7% and 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our higher effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was principally due to a lower excess tax benefit with a lower benefit from the use of federal employment tax credits. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the excess tax benefit and federal employment tax credits were 5.3% and 7.2%, respectively.

* Management deems these metrics to be key performance indicators. Management uses these metrics to monitor our performance, both in our existing operations and acquisitions. Many of these metrics serve as the basis of reported revenues and assessment of these provide direct correlation to the results of operations from period to period and facilitate comparison with the results of our peers. Historical trends established in these metrics can be used to evaluate current operating results, identify trends affecting our business, determine the allocation of resources and assess the quality and potential variability of our cash flows and earnings. We believe they are useful to investors in evaluating and understanding our business but should not be used solely in assessing the Company’s performance. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented herein to fully evaluate and understand the business as a whole. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators used by other companies.

The personal care segment derives a significant amount of its net service revenues from operations in Illinois, which represented 32.1% and 33.0% of our net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. One payor, the Illinois Department on Aging, accounted for 17.8% and 18.5% of net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Net service revenues from state, local, and other governmental programs accounted for 49.7% and 51.5% of net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Managed care organizations accounted for 47.6% and 45.3% of net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, with commercial insurance, private pay, and other payors accounting for the remainder of net service revenues.

Net service revenues increased by 8.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net service revenues included a 5.2% increase in billable hours and a 3.3% increase in revenues per billable hour for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, was 27.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 27.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The personal care segment’s general and administrative expenses primarily consist of administrative employee wages, taxes, and benefit costs, rent, information technology, and office expenses. General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, was 8.9% and 9.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The hospice segment generates revenue by providing care to patients with a life expectancy of six months or less, as well as related services for their families. Hospice offers four levels of care, as defined by Medicare, to meet the varying needs of patients and their families. The four levels of hospice include routine home care, continuous home care, general inpatient care and respite care. Our hospice segment principally provides routine home care.

Net service revenues from Medicare accounted for 94.4% and 92.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net service revenues from managed care organizations accounted for 2.3% and 3.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 respectively.

Net service revenues increased by $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily attributed to organic growth in average daily census, partially offset by a decrease in revenue per patient day.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, was 46.3% and 47.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the decrease was mainly attributed to an increase in direct wages, taxes and benefit costs as a percentage of net service revenues.

The hospice segment’s general and administrative expenses primarily consist of administrative employee wage, tax, and benefit costs, rent, information technology, and office expenses. General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, was 24.1% and 23.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

A home health certification period is an episode of care that begins with a start of care visit and continues for 60 days. If at the end of the initial episode of care, the patient continues to require home health services, a recertification is required. This represents the number of recertifications during the period.

(3)	Total volume is total admissions and total recertifications in the period.

(4)	Represents number of services to patients in the period.

Revenue organic growth and admissions organic growth reflect the change in year-over-year revenue and admissions for the same store base. We define the same store base to include those stores open for at least 52 full weeks. These measures highlight the performance of existing stores, while excluding the impact of acquisitions, new store openings, and closures.

The home health segment generates net service revenues by providing home health services on a short-term, intermittent or episodic basis to individuals, generally to treat an illness or injury. Net service revenues from Medicare accounted for 61.1% and 69.9%, managed care organizations accounted for 23.7% and 21.2%, and state, local, and other governmental programs accounted for 12.2% and 6.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Home health services provided to Medicare beneficiaries are paid under the Medicare Home Health Prospective Payment System, which uses national, standardized 30-day period payment rates for periods of care. CMS uses the PDGM as the case-mix classification model to place periods of care into payment categories, classifying patients based on clinical characteristics. An outlier adjustment may be paid for periods of care in which costs exceed a specific threshold amount.

Net service revenues decreased by $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to lower volumes, including lower recertifications and visits, and the continued impact of efforts to manage payor mix within our home health operations and related incremental margin improvements.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, was 45.3% and 40.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the increase was mainly attributed to a decrease in direct wages, taxes and benefit costs as a percentage of net service revenues, as cost of services revenues decreased at a greater rate than net service revenues, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The home health segment’s general and administrative expenses primarily consist of administrative employee wage, tax and benefit costs, rent, information technology, and office expenses. General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, were 26.4% and 23.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash balances of $103.1 million and $81.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2026, we had a $650.0 million revolving credit facility and a $150.0 million incremental loan facility, which may be for term loans or an increase to the revolving loan commitments. The maturity of this credit facility was extended to July 30, 2028.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repaid $30.0 million under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2026, we had a total of $94.3 million in revolving loans, with an interest rate of 5.43% outstanding on our credit facility and after giving effect to the amount drawn on our credit facility, approximately $7.9 million of outstanding letters of credit and borrowing limits based on an advance multiple of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement), we had $650.0 million of capacity and $547.8 million available for borrowing under our credit facility. At December 31, 2025, we had a total of $124.3 million revolving credit loans, with an interest rate of 5.48%, outstanding on our credit facility.

Our credit facility requires us to maintain a total net leverage ratio not exceeding 3.75:1.00. At March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. Although we believe our liquidity position remains strong, we can provide no assurance that we will remain in compliance with the covenants in our Credit Agreement, and in the future, it may prove necessary to seek an amendment with the bank lending group under our credit facility. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

See Note 8 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Long-Term Debt, for additional details of our long-term debt.

Current Macroeconomic Conditions and American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Relief Funding

Economic conditions in the United States continue to be challenging in various respects. For example, the United States economy continues to experience inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, challenging labor market conditions and uncertainty regarding the impact of increased tariffs and trade disruptions. Any economic downturn would pose a risk to states’ revenues, which in turn could affect our reimbursements and collections received for services rendered. Depending on the severity and length of any potential economic downturn as well as the extent of any federal support, states could face significant fiscal challenges and revise their revenue forecasts and adjust their budgets, and sales tax collections and income tax withholdings could be depressed.

ARPA Spending Plans

To mitigate the fiscal effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the ARPA provided for a 10 percentage point increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid HCBS from April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022, provided the state satisfied certain conditions. States must submit periodic HCBS spending plans to CMS regarding the federal and state funds tied to the increase in federal matching funds. Although states were generally permitted to use the associated state funds by March 31, 2025, CMS granted extensions to several states and some state spending plans continue through September 30, 2026.

HCBS spending plans for the additional matching funds vary by state, but common initiatives in which the Company is participating include those aimed at strengthening the provider workforce (e.g., efforts to recruit, retain, and train direct service providers). The Company is required to properly and fully document the use of such funds in reports to the state in which the funds originated. Funds may be subject to recoupment if not expended or if they are expended on non-approved uses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company received additional state funding provided by the ARPA of $6.2 million. Of the total state funding received by the Company pursuant to the ARPA through March 31, 2026, the Company utilized $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily for caregivers and adding support to recruiting and retention efforts, included as a reduction of cost of service revenues in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2026, the deferred portion of ARPA funding of $14.6 million is included within Government stimulus advances on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes changes in our cash flows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025
	(Amounts in Thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	52,365		$	18,949
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,692	)		(1,378	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(29,225	)		(19,528	)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

Cash flows from operating activities represent the inflow of cash from our payors and the outflow of cash for payroll and payroll taxes, operating expenses, interest, and taxes. Net cash provided by operating activities was $52.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $18.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to the timing of receipts on accounts receivable and the timing of receipt and utilization of government stimulus funds. The changes in accounts receivable were primarily related to the growth in revenue and a decrease in days sales outstanding (“DSO”) during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The related receivables due from the Illinois Department on Aging represented 23.1% and 18.5% of the Company’s net accounts receivable at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily consisted of $1.7 million of cash used for property and equipment purchases, primarily related to our ongoing investments in technology infrastructure fixed assets. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily consisted of $3.4 million of net cash used for the Jacksonville Acquisition and the Great Lakes Acquisition, $1.9 million of cash used for property and equipment purchases, primarily related to our ongoing investments in technology infrastructure fixed assets, offset by $3.8 million in proceeds received relating to the New York Asset Sale.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily consisted of $30.0 million payment on our revolving credit facility, offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options of $0.8 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily consisted of $20.0 million payment on our revolving credit facility, offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options of $0.5 million.

Outstanding Accounts Receivable

Outstanding accounts receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were approximately $144.8 million and $151.7 million, respectively, decreased by $6.9 million as of March 31, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025. Accounts receivable for the Illinois Department on Aging decreased approximately $4.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our collection procedures include review of account aging and direct contact with our payors. We have historically not used collection agencies. An uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance account after reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.

We calculate our DSO by taking the trade accounts receivable outstanding, net of allowance for credit losses for doubtful accounts, divided by the net service revenues for the last quarter, multiplied by the number of days in that quarter. Our DSOs were 36 days and 38 days at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The DSOs for our largest payor, the Illinois Department on Aging, were 47 days and 55 days at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet guarantees or arrangements with unconsolidated entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” set forth in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC.

Refer to Note 2 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates on our variable rate long-term debt. As of March 31, 2026, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $94.3 million on our credit facility, all of such borrowings were subject to variable interest rates. If the variable rates on this debt were 100 basis points higher than the rate applicable to the borrowing during the three month period ended March 31, 2026, our net income would have decreased by $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. We do not currently have any derivative or hedging arrangements, or other known exposures, to changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
