AMEDISYS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND UPDATES 2023 GUIDANCE

Updated 2023 Guidance

We are updating our previously issued guidance:

• Adjusted net service revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $2.254 billion to $2.274 billion.
• Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be in the range of $235 million to $245 million.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share is anticipated to be in the range of $4.14 to $4.36 based on an estimated 32.8 million shares outstanding.

This guidance excludes the effects of any future acquisitions and potential share repurchases, if any are made.

The foregoing full year 2023 financial guidance excludes the impact of the Company's pending combination with Option Care Health.

We urge caution in considering the current trends and 2023 guidance disclosed in this press release. The home health, hospice and high acuity care industries are highly competitive and subject to intensive regulations, and trends are subject to numerous factors, risks, and uncertainties, some of which are referenced in the cautionary language below and others that are described more fully in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K which can be found on the SEC's internet website, http://www.sec.gov, and our internet website, http://www.amedisys.com. 

Earnings Call Information

In a separate press release issued today, Amedisys announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to combine with Option Care Health.

Amedisys and Option Care Health will host an investor call today at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the details of the transaction. Details for such call are available in the separate press release issued today. In light of the transaction announcement, we will forego our previously scheduled first quarter 2023 earnings conference call.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes reconciliations of the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") to non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules are as follows: (1) adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding certain items; (2) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc., defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. excluding certain items; and (3) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. per diluted share, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. common stockholders per diluted share excluding certain items. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful gauges of our current performance and are also included in internal management reporting. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not more meaningful than or as an alternative to the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the company's financial statements. Non-GAAP measures as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures consistently.

When included in this press release, words like "believes," "belief," "expects," "strategy," "plans," "anticipates," "intends," "projects," "estimates," "may," "might," "will," "could," "would," "should" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described therein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies or other synergies from the proposed merger with Option Care Health may not be realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized; disruption from the proposed merger with patient, payer, provider, referral sources, supplier or management and employee relationships; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement with Option Care Health or the inability to complete the proposed transaction on the anticipated terms and timetable; the risk that  necessary regulatory approvals for the proposed merger with Option Care Health are delayed, are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the failure of the conditions to the proposed merger to be satisfied; the inability to complete the proposed transaction due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders at Option Care Health or Amedisys or to satisfy any other condition in a timely manner or at all; the risks related to the integration of the combined businesses, including the risk that the integration will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected; the ability of the combined company to execute carefully its strategic plans; the costs related to the proposed transaction; the diversion of management time on merger-related issues; the ability of Option Care Health to effectively manage the larger and more complex operations of the combined company following the proposed merger with the Company; reputational risk related to the proposed merger; the risk of litigation or regulatory action related to the proposed merger; changes in Medicare and other medical payment levels; changes in payments and covered services by federal and state governments; future cost containment initiatives undertaken by third-party payors; changes in the episodic versus non-episodic mix of our payors, the case mix of our patients and payment methodologies; staffing shortages driven by the competitive labor market; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; competition in the healthcare industry; our ability to maintain or establish new patient referral sources; changes in or our failure to comply with existing federal and state laws or regulations or the inability to comply with new government regulations on a timely basis; the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") on our business, financial condition and results of operations; changes in estimates and judgments associated with critical accounting policies; our ability to consistently provide high-quality care; our ability to keep our patients and employees safe; our access to financing; our ability to meet debt service requirements and comply with covenants in debt agreements; business disruptions due to natural or man-made disasters, climate change or acts of terrorism, widespread protests or civil unrest; our ability to open care centers, acquire additional care centers and integrate and operate these care centers effectively; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, investments and joint ventures; our ability to integrate, manage and keep our information systems secure; the impact of inflation; and changes in laws or developments with respect to any litigation relating to the Company, including various other matters, many of which are beyond our control.

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of future events. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking and we do not intend to release publicly any updates or changes in our expectations concerning the forward-looking statements or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances upon which any forward-looking statement may be based, except as required by law.
