The sequential improvement in our operational metrics throughout 2024 reinforces the momentum we have established with hard-won improvements in our sales force and diversification of the business. Likewise, the continued demand for our high-touch, technology-enabled clinical approach in a regulatory environment that stresses efficiency, home care, transparency, and compliance gives us greater confidence in our value proposition.” “Looking ahead to 2025, we are leaning into what has worked well for us throughout 2024 and growing in ways that complement our existing strengths. Utilizing the systems and processes we have in place for sales and operating efficiencies, as well as our home-grown staffing business, we plan to ramp up our sales force at a more aggressive pace to further penetrate a massively underserved market for non-invasive ventilation, sleep, staffing, and other complementary services. We also expect our trusted place in the home and our extensive, national payer relationships to create new opportunities to amplify these partnerships and potentially pursue inorganic growth,” added Mr. Hoyt.

All statements other than statements of historical fact, including those that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance, including the Company's net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2025, are not historical facts and may be forward-looking statements and may involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the Company's current views and intentions with respect to future events, and current information available to the Company, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements to vary from those described herein should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize. These factors include, without limitation: the general business, market and economic conditions in the regions in which the we operate; significant capital requirements and operating risks that we may be subject to; our ability to implement business strategies and pursue business opportunities; volatility in the market price of our common shares; the state of the capital markets; the availability of funds and resources to pursue operations; inflation; reductions in reimbursement rates and audits of reimbursement claims by various governmental and private payor entities; dependence on few payors; possible new drug discoveries; dependence on key suppliers; granting of permits and licenses in a highly regulated business; competition; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber-attacks) on our information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behavior to which we are exposed; difficulty integrating newly acquired businesses; the impact of new and changes to, or application of, current laws and regulations; the overall difficult litigation and regulatory environment; increased competition; increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by us; and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events or health epidemics or concerns, and claims resulting from such events or concerns, as well as other general economic, market and business conditions; and other factors beyond our control; as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in the Company’s disclosure documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with the securities regulatory authorities in certain provinces of Canada available at www.sedar.com. Should any factor affect the Company in an unexpected manner, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, the actual results or events may differ materially from the results or events predicted. Any such forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Moreover, the Company does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law. This press release contains non-GAAP financial guidance. There is no reliable or reasonably estimable comparable GAAP measure for the Company’s non-GAAP financial guidance because the Company is not able to reliably predict the impact of certain items that typically have one or more of the following characteristics: highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of future operating results. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. The variability of the specified items may have a significant and unpredictable impact on the Company’s future GAAP results. The Company’s financial guidance in this press release excludes the impact of potential future strategic acquisitions and any items that have not yet been identified or quantified. This guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties inherent in all forward-looking statements, as outlined above.

Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of the Company’s business that is not dependent on the impact of the Company’s capitalization structure and items that are not part of the Company’s day-to-day operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for the Company’s employees, (iii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s internal annual operating budget, and (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Company’s operational strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating performance in the same manner as management. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue or net income, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of ongoing operations; and other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, certain items (mostly non-cash) are excluded from net income including depreciation and amortization of capitalized assets, net interest expense (income), stock based compensation, transaction costs, impairment of assets, and taxes. The following table is a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, on a historical basis for the periods indicated: VIEMED HEALTHCARE, INC.Reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars)(Unaudited) For the quarter endedDecember 31, 2024September 30, 2024June 30, 2024March 31, 2024December 31, 2023September 30, 2023June 30, 2023March 31, 2023Net Income attributable to Viemed Healthcare, Inc. $ 4,316 $ 3,878 $ 1,468 $ 1,603 $ 3,477 $ 2,919 $ 2,330 $ 1,517 Add back: Depreciation & amortization 6,366 6,408 6,309 6,285 5,918 5,975 5,207 4,762 Interest expense (income) 147 225 254 150 256 237 (20) (49)Stock-based compensation(a) 1,521 1,712 1,620 1,432 1,534 1,453 1,471 1,391 Transaction costs(b) 11 12 221 110 61 177 94 206 Impairment of assets(c) — 125 2,173 — — — — — Income tax expense 1,881 1,594 768 518 1,599 1,320 728 501 Adjusted EBITDA$ 14,242 $ 13,954 $ 12,813 $ 10,098 $ 12,845 $ 12,081 $ 9,810 $ 8,328 For the year ended December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023Net Income attributable to Viemed Healthcare, Inc. $11,265 $10,243 Add back: Depreciation & amortization 25,368 21,862 Interest expense (income) 776 424 Stock-based compensation(a) 6,285 5,849 Transaction costs(b) 354 538 Impairment of assets(c) 2,298 — Income tax expense 4,761 4,148 Adjusted EBITDA $51,107 $43,064 (a)Represents non-cash, equity-based compensation expense associated with option and RSU awards.(b)Represents transaction costs and expenses related to acquisition and integration efforts associated with recently announced or completed acquisitions.(c)Represents impairments of the fair value of investment and litigation-related assets. Free Cash Flow This press release refers to “Free Cash Flow” which is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sale of property & equipment. Historically reported amounts of Free Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been recast to include the effect of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. This adjustment aligns the calculation with the Company’s current presentation methodology and more accurately reflects net cash flows for capital expenditures by accounting for inflows on asset dispositions. The Company's presentation of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company uses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, in its operational and financial decision-making. Management believes free cash flow is useful to investors as it is commonly used by analysts, investors, rating agencies, and other stakeholders to assess competitors and evaluate a company's ability to service its debt. However, free cash flow should not be viewed as a measure of liquidity or as an indicator of cash available for discretionary use, including business investments or meeting financial obligations. The following unaudited table is a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow, on a historical basis for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31,(in thousands) 2024 2023 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 39,089 $ 45,212 Purchase of property and equipment (37,771) (26,093)Proceeds from sale of property & equipment 10,321 2,588 Free Cash Flow $ 11,639 $ 21,707 The revenues from each major source are summarized in the following table: Year Ended December 31, 2024 % of Total Revenue 2023 % of Total Revenue $ Change % ChangeNet revenue from rentals Ventilator rentals, non-invasive and invasive$ 124,577 55.6 % $ 108,258 59.2 % $ 16,319 15.1 %Other home medical equipment rentals 48,651 21.7 % 38,315 20.9 % 10,336 27.0 %Net revenue from sales and services Equipment and supply sales 30,896 13.7 % 25,770 14.1 % 5,126 19.9 %Service revenues 20,133 9.0 % 10,665 5.8 % 9,468 88.8 %Total net revenue$ 224,257 100.0 % $ 183,008 100.0 % $ 41,249 22.5 %
