AdaptHealth Reports Q2 Revenue of $740.3M, Lowers Full-Year Outlook
Reports Q2 revenue $740.3M vs. $657.1M last year. "In the second quarter, we delivered 15.9% organic growth, with record volume gains across the business," said Suzanne Foster, Chief Executive Officer. "Also, in July we signed a definitive agreement to divest our Diabetes Health business, the most significant step yet in our multi-year effort to focus AdaptHealth on our core Sleep Health, Respiratory Health, and supporting Wellness-at-Home businesses. Our West Coast capitated partnership reached full scale in the quarter, and the complexity of that transition has impacted our margins. Together with an unexpected price increase from one of our manufacturers, this has led us to lower our full-year outlook. We are moving quickly to address the cost pressures introduced by our rapid growth, and we believe these actions will make us a stronger, more efficient company."
Company Revises FY2026 Financial Guidance to $2.85B-$2.89B
Consensus $3.49B. The company said, "The Company is revising its financial guidance for fiscal year 2026 on a continuing operations basis, which excludes the Diabetes Health business, except for free cash flow, which includes the cash flows from continuing operations and discontinued operations, as follows: Net revenue of $2.85 billion to $2.89 billion Adjusted EBITDA of $490 million to $520 million Free cash flow of $80 million to $120 million Relative to our prior fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $680 million to $730 million, the revised guidance includes a $100 million impact from reporting the Diabetes Health business as discontinued operations, including $60 million of previously allocated corporate overhead that will remain in continuing operations, of which the Company expects roughly half to be eliminated within 12 months thereafter. The revised guidance also includes a $55 million impact related to our West Coast capitated contract; a $30 million impact from a manufacturer price increase; and a $15 million impact from other portfolio actions."
