Operating Results
“We are pleased to report full year and fourth quarter results that demonstrate progress in both segments in 2022 and meaningful momentum heading into 2023,” said Brent Guerisoli, Pennant’s Chief Executive Officer. “We saw top line growth in both segments, and despite labor and inflationary pressures, our teams produced strong adjusted-EBITDA results consistent with our projections. Our senior living business continued to stabilize. Throughout 2022 we invested in the next generation of leaders who are positioned to accelerate our growth in 2023. With these pieces in place, we are providing full year 2023 guidance of annual revenue between $503.5 million and $518.4 million, adjusted EBITDA of $38.4 million to $42.6 million, and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.66 to $0.76. The midpoint of $0.71 represents 24.6% growth on our 2022 adjusted earnings.”
“Our home health business continued its strong performance. In the fourth quarter, home health revenue grew $8.8 million or 22.5% and hospice revenue grew $4.0 million or 10.4%, each over the prior year quarter. These strong top line results were driven by home health admissions that increased 8.2% over the fourth quarter 2021. Hospice revenue was buoyed by a hospice average daily census that increased 5.2% over the prior year quarter. While we are pleased that home health and hospice segment adjusted EBITDA of $15.5 million increased $4.3 million or 38.5% over the prior year quarter, we know there is significant potential to grow and improve our home health and hospice segment in 2023.”
“Our senior living segment continues its steady turnaround,” said Mr. Guerisoli. Senior Living segment adjusted EBITDA grew to $6.0 million, a $4.4 million increase over the prior year, and improved to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of $1.3 million over the prior year quarter. Our same store occupancy improved sequentially each quarter in 2022, reaching 78.6% for the fourth quarter, a 330 basis point improvement in these same facilities over the prior year quarter, and 100 basis points improvement sequentially over the third quarter of 2022. Average monthly revenue per occupied unit for the fourth quarter grew to $3,670, an increase of $379 or 11.5% over the prior year quarter and $110 or 3.0% sequentially over the third quarter of 2022. The significant improvement in this segment is evidence that strong leaders and strong clusters drive strong results over time. We are excited to see this turnaround story become a growth story in 2023 and beyond.”
“As we invest in deepening our leadership pool, we are continuing to expand our acquisition pipeline,” said John Gochnour, Pennant’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “We see attractive acquisition targets within our footprint, including off-market opportunities from sellers drawn to our reputation, culture, and quality record. We announced one home health acquisition in the fourth quarter, our purchase of the Kenosha Visiting Nurse Association in Kenosha, Wisconsin. KVNA has provided high quality in-home care in the Kenosha area for almost 100 years. We are excited to carry on that legacy and continue to build our Pennant care continuum in the Wisconsin market, where we operate several senior living communities.”
Jennifer Freeman, Pennant’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, reported on the Company’s cash position, commenting that the Company had $2.1 million of cash on hand and $81.3 million available on its revolving line of credit. Ms. Freeman noted that the Company had a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.93x and a lease-adjusted net debt-to-adjusted EBITDAR ratio of 5.30x as of December 31, 2022. “We’re pleased with our liquidity position which will enable us to make strategic investments in 2023,” said Ms. Freeman.
Ms. Freeman noted that management’s 2023 annual guidance is based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 30.7 million and a 25.5% effective tax rate. The guidance assumes, among other things, organic growth in current operations, margin expansion, anticipated reimbursement rate adjustments, and elevated interest rates. It does not include unannounced acquisitions and excludes costs at start-up operations, share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and one-time implementation and unusual items.
A discussion of the Company's use of Non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share, net income to adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net income, appear in the financial data portion of this release. More complete information is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which has been filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the Company’s website at www.pennantgroup.com.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) (benefits) provisions for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) (benefits) provisions for income taxes, (b) depreciation and amortization, (c) costs incurred for start-up operations, including rent and excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (d) share-based compensation expense, (e) non-capitalizable acquisition related costs and credit allowances, (f) redundant or non-recurring transition services costs, (g) loss related to senior living operations transferred to Ensign, (h) usual or non-recurring charges and (i) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure applicable to current periods only and consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net, (b) (benefits) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) costs incurred for start-up operations, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition related costs and and credit allowances, (h) redundant or non-recurring transition services costs, (i) loss related to senior living operations transferred to Ensign, (j) usual or non-recurring charges and (j) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance. The company believes disclosure of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and consolidated adjusted EBITDAR has economic substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The company’s periodic filings are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or under the "Financial Information" link of the Investor Relations section on Pennant’s website at http://www.pennantgroup.com.
