(NASDAQ: AVAH), a leading, diversified home care platform focused on providing care to medically complex, high-cost patient populations, today announced certain preliminary financial results for the three-month period ended September 27, 2025. For the three-month period ended September 27, 2025, we expect to report: Revenue of approximately $616 million to $624 million, representing growth over the prior year third quarter of approximately 21.0% to 22.6%.Net income of approximately $11 million to $15 million, representing growth over the prior year third quarter of approximately 125.7% to 135.0%.Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $77 million to $81 million, representing growth over the prior year third quarter of approximately 61.0% to 69.3%. Preliminary Financial Data Our consolidated financial statements for our three-month period ended September 27, 2025 are not yet available. Accordingly, the financial and operational results we present in this press release are preliminary estimates and subject to the completion of our financial closing procedures and any adjustments that may result from the completion of the quarterly review and finalization of our consolidated financial statements. As a result, these preliminary estimated results may differ from actual results that will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter when they are completed and publicly disclosed. These preliminary estimated results may change and those changes may be material. Our expectations with respect to our unaudited results for the period discussed in this press release are based upon management estimates and are the responsibility of management. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary results (including any financial data) and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary results. Although the results of our three-month period ended September 27, 2025 are not yet finalized, the information included in this press release reflects our preliminary expectations with respect to such results based on currently available information. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we also evaluate our financial performance using Adjusted EBITDA. Given our determination of adjustments in arriving at our computations, these non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to net income or loss, revenue, operating income or loss, or any other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income or loss. Rather, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of our performance. We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest expense, net; income tax expense or benefit; and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for the impact of certain other items that are either non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash, unusual, or items deemed by management to not be indicative of the performance of our core operations, including impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; non-cash, share-based compensation and associated employer payroll taxes; loss on extinguishment of debt; fees related to debt modifications; the effect of interest rate derivatives; acquisition-related and integration costs; legal costs and settlements associated with acquisition matters; restructuring costs; other legal matters; and other system transition costs, professional fees and other costs. As non-GAAP financial measures, our computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from similarly termed non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, making comparisons with other companies on the basis of this measure impracticable. We believe our computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance. In determining which adjustments are made to arrive at EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we consider both (1) certain non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash or unusual items, which can vary significantly from year to year, as well as (2) certain other items that may be recurring, frequent, or settled in cash but which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance and make business decisions. We have incurred substantial acquisition-related costs and integration costs. The underlying acquisition activities take place over a defined timeframe, have distinct project timelines and are incremental to activities and costs that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Therefore, we believe it is important to exclude these costs from our Adjusted EBITDA because it provides us a normalized view of our core, ongoing operations after integrating our acquired companies, which we believe is an important measure in assessing our performance.
