Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 23.9% year-over-year in Q2 and 25.6% year-over-year for the six months ended June 30, 2026. This growth was driven by the inclusion of the Lehan Drugs, Inc. acquisition (closed July 1, 2025), expansion in women's health product sales, and increased PAP therapy volumes.
• Profitability: Net income decreased 12.4% in Q2 and 7.5% YTD compared to the prior year. This decline was primarily due to higher selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses and the absence of a $3.0 million gain on the disposal of recalled ventilators recognized in the prior year.
• Expense Trends: SG&A expenses increased 28.9% in Q2, largely due to higher employee compensation, phantom stock compensation driven by share price increases, and integration costs from the Lehan acquisition.
• Debt Reduction: Total debt principal decreased from $12.9 million at year-end 2025 to $7.4 million at June 30, 2026, following $5.4 million in principal payments on the term loan facility during the first half of 2026.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects to continue growing through expansion of existing service areas and new territories. The company anticipates that investments in technology and talent will support future revenue growth and productivity improvements.
• Regulatory Risks: The company is monitoring the impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) signed in July 2025, which may affect Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement. Additionally, a new National Coverage Determination (NCD) for ventilators issued by CMS in June 2025 may influence patient access and utilization patterns.
• Legal Contingency: The company is disputing a Medicare audit determination regarding an alleged overpayment of approximately $2.2 million (reduced from an initial $5.9 million). While the company remitted payment to avoid recoupment, it has not accrued a loss as it does not consider the loss probable.
• Share Repurchases: The company is actively repurchasing shares under its 2026 Share Repurchase Program, having repurchased 680,802 shares in the first half of 2026. Approximately 1.25 million shares remain available for repurchase under the program.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Revenue Mix Shift: Verify the sustainability of the shift toward lower-margin sales and services (now ~32% of revenue) versus higher-margin rentals, and its long-term impact on gross margins.
• SG&A Leverage: Monitor whether SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue stabilize or decrease as the company scales, given the 28.9% increase in Q2.
• Medicare Audit Resolution: Track the status of the $2.2 million disputed Medicare overpayment and any potential future accruals or cash outflows.
• Capital Expenditures: Review the $15.2 million in capital expenditures for the first half of 2026 to ensure alignment with patient growth and equipment rental needs.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities, specifically the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (max 2.50:1.0) and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (min 1.25:1.0).
