Operating Results

"We are pleased to report first quarter results that reflect the momentum building in both segments," said Daniel Walker, Pennant's Chief Executive Officer. "We experienced challenges related to the Omicron variant surge in the early part of the first quarter and ongoing labor pressures. Despite these headwinds, our local teams navigated a challenging operating environment and produced strong results in line with our projections. We know what we have to do to continue this momentum and are anxious to unlock additional value for long-term stakeholders. On the back of this confidence, we are affirming our full year 2022 guidance of annual revenue between $450 million and $460 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.60 to $0.72."

Commenting on the Company's operating results, Brent Guerisoli, Pennant's President, said, "Our home health business experienced strong growth, while results in our hospice business were more mixed, partly the result of COVID-related length of stay trends. In the first quarter, home health revenue grew $4.2 million or 12.7% and hospice revenue grew $0.9 million or 2.5%, each over the prior year quarter. Our strong top line home health results were driven largely by home health admissions that increased 9.6% over the fourth quarter 2021. While total hospice admissions grew 9.8% over the fourth quarter 2021, we experienced a decrease in average daily census of 1.1% compared to the same period, as a higher percentage of our patients began care further along in the end-of-life period, resulting in a slight decline in average discharge length of stay. However, we continue to focus on meeting the needs of our local healthcare communities and strengthening relationships with new and existing key partners, leading to a 9.8% increase in total hospice referrals compared to the fourth quarter 2021. Despite the challenges from Omicron and ongoing labor pressures, our segment adjusted EBITDA grew $1.5 million compared to the fourth quarter 2021 and our adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 110 basis points. Going forward, we know there is much more to accomplish in our home health and hospice segment and look forward to further organic and strategic growth."

"Our senior living segment took another step forward in its ongoing turnaround," said Mr. Guerisoli. "We continued to make significant progress in building a stronger leadership foundation, developing market and cluster leaders, expanding our marketing and sales expertise by elevating and recruiting talented professionals and equipping them with better data analytics and tools, and driving rigorous accountability around the key focus areas that will accelerate our segment results. In the first quarter, these efforts contributed to segment revenue growth of $2.4 million, or 7.7%, over the prior year quarter, and segment adjusted EBITDA growth of $1.7 million over the prior year quarter. Our occupancy improved 50 basis points and our revenue per occupied room increased by 5.8%, each over the prior year quarter, highlighting the demand for quality senior living services that we are poised to address in our markets. During the quarter and since, we closed on the transfer of five senior living communities to affiliates of The Ensign Group, Inc., completing a transaction that we believe is a win for all parties involved and which allows us to concentrate our resources on our highest-upside opportunities to unlock value faster. With developing leadership teams, better data and systems, and accountability around our core opportunities, we know we can continue to drive improved segment earnings if we execute with operational excellence."

In addition to the transfer of five senior living communities to Ensign affiliates, since quarter-end the Company closed on the acquisition of one home health agency in Montana. "This small transaction allows us to expand the continuum of care services we can provide to patients and their families in the Big Sky state, pairing strategically with our successful hospice operations there," said Derek Bunker, Pennant's Chief Investment Officer. The Company also acquired the real estate underlying the operations of its 82-unit assisted living and memory care community in Twin Falls, Idaho, and exited the operations of an independent living community that was utilized during the height of the pandemic as a short-term stay setting for COVID-19 patients transitioning home from acute settings. "Our recently acquired operations are picking up steam, and as they continue to mature in our portfolio we are excited to invest in additional agencies throughout this year. Our pipeline of potential acquisitions is solid. We continue to source many off-market opportunities as sellers seek a strategic partner aligned with their mission and focused on providing exceptional employee experiences and quality care to patients and families," said Mr. Bunker.

Jennifer Freeman, Pennant's Chief Financial Officer, reported that the Company ended the first quarter with strong liquidity, with $3.6 million of cash on hand and $87.3 million of availability on its revolving line of credit. Ms. Freeman reported that the Company had a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.03x and a lease-adjusted net debt-to-adjusted EBITDAR ratio of 5.71x as of December 31, 2021. "Our cash position and liquidity remain strong despite the challenges of the first quarter. We expect our leverage ratio to continue to be elevated above our historical trend as the repayment of the Medicare advance payments wraps up in the second quarter. As this cash outflow abates, we look forward to our cash flow improving and deploying that growing dry powder in what we believe will be a compelling investment environment on the horizon," said Ms. Freeman.

Ms. Freeman noted that management's 2022 annual guidance reiterated today is based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 31.2 million and a 26.1% effective tax rate. The guidance assumes, among other things, anticipated reimbursement rate adjustments, no unannounced acquisitions, and the lingering effects of COVID-19. It excludes costs at start-up operations, share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, assets held for sale, and losses of disposed operations.

A discussion of the company's use of non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share, net income to adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net income, appear in the financial data portion of this release. More complete information is contained in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which has been filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the company's website at www.pennantgroup.com.

(a) Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations is net income attributable to the Company's reportable segments excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent, and, in order to view the operations performance on a comparable basis from period to period, certain adjustments including: (1) costs at start-up operations, (2) share-based compensation, (3) acquisition related costs, (4) redundant and nonrecurring costs associated with the Transition Services Agreement, (5) the operating results of senior living facilities transferred to Ensign, and (6) net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, and are included as "All Other", accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company's segment measures may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

(b) Represents results related to start-up operations. This amount excludes rent and depreciation and amortization expense related to such operations.

(c) Share-based compensation expense incurred which is included in cost of services and general and administrative expense.

(d) Acquisition related costs related to business combinations during the periods.

Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations	$	13,948		$	13,791		$	9,432		$	8,834

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) provisions for income taxes, (b) depreciation and amortization, (c) costs incurred for start-up operations, including rent and excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (d) share-based compensation expense, (e) non-capitalizable acquisition related costs, (f) redundant or non-recurring transition services costs, (g) the operating results of senior living facilities transferred to Ensign, and (h) net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest.long-lived assets. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure applicable to current periods only and consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) costs incurred for start-up operations, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition related costs, (h) redundant or non-recurring transition services costs, (i) the operating results of senior living facilities transferred to Ensign, and (j) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the company's operating performance. The company believes disclosure of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and consolidated adjusted EBITDAR has economic substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
