Management Commentary:

“We are thrilled to announce robust fiscal third quarter results, which display record sequential organic growth and additional margin acceleration, clearly illustrating that our business continues to fire on all cylinders. We are also thrilled to report that our key performance indicators have exceeded our baseline expectations and suggest strong and sustained momentum across the organization in real time. Our healthcare network’s key expansion across the United States has been driven by our continued penetration of key sales touchpoints, the successful integration and exceptional performance of our largest acquisition to date, and the strength of our core business. Our long-term growth strategy will continue to focus on driving organic volume growth, focused acquisition strategy that utilizes our proven integration process, and by leveraging upon our acquisition pipeline,” said CEO and Chairman Greg Crawford.

“We are spreading our patient-centric ecosystem across the United States by concentrating on regions with a high prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our commitment to our clinical services model coupled with providing a broad spectrum of respiratory and equipment solutions has been a key factor in our success to date. Additionally, as the need for efficient and timely home health care increases in order to ease the strain on the traditional healthcare system, we take our role as a major provider of these services very seriously and will always focus on providing superior patient care. Due to the favorable demographic trends, bullish regulatory environment, continued strong demand for respiratory equipment, and our consistent operational performance, we continue to have major tailwinds at our back.”

Chief Financial Officer Hardik Mehta added, “Throughout the year, our business has continued to strengthen, and we are experiencing the organic growth and margin expansion that we had been aiming for. Our heavily weighted respiratory product mix and services, as well as our focus on operational savings and efficient cost management, have helped our Adjusted EBITDA margin reach 23%. Additionally, we are pleased by the acceleration of organic growth trends, which in the fiscal third quarter grew by 4% sequentially when compared to the fiscal second quarter. We anticipate that this stronger organic growth versus our historical average will persist as we continue expanding the continuum of care in key markets. Given our operational excellence, strong balance sheet, with a very modest net leverage ratio of 1.4x and a high level of financial flexibility, we are in a great position to execute our growth strategy and move quickly when the right opportunity presents itself.”
