Tax Receivable Agreement
AdaptHealth Corp. is party to a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with certain current and former members of AdaptHealth Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AdaptHealth Holdings"). The TRA provides for the payment by AdaptHealth Corp. of 85% of the tax savings, if any, that AdaptHealth Corp. realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain tax attributes of the corresponding sellers existing prior to the Business Combination; (ii) certain increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of New AdaptHealth Units and shares of Class B Common Stock; (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of payments it makes under the TRA; and (iv) certain increases in tax basis resulting from payments the Company makes under the TRA. Under the TRA, the benefits deemed realized by the Company as a result of the increase in tax basis attributable to the AdaptHealth Holdings members generally will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company to the amount of such taxes that the Company would have been required to pay had there been no such increase in tax basis.
At March 31, 2026, the Company's liability relating to the TRA was $238.9 million, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2025, the Company’s liability relating to
the TRA was $265.7 million, of which $26.8 million and $238.9 million is included in other liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
A $16.5 million income tax receivable is included in prepaid and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026. The majority of the Company’s income tax receivable relates to federal corporate income tax refunds, which are expected to be received later in 2026.
