Updated 2021 Guidance

COVID-19 has continued to impact the operating metrics typically used to forecast both growth and cost assumptions for both core Amedisys and Contessa. We are basing our guidance on our current operating environment. COVID-19 continues to evolve in both the disease itself as well as disruptions to the healthcare systems and the economy. Any future regulations or government interventions, spike in clinicians and business development staff on quarantine, staffing shortages due to current and proposed federal, state and local vaccine mandates, reduction in elective procedures, change in patient behavior and further decline in senior living occupancy could impact our ability to achieve this guidance.

Based upon the above discussion, our updated 2021 guidance is as follows:

• Adjusted net service revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $2.200 billion to $2.205 billion.
• Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be in the range of $296 million to $298 million.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share is anticipated to be in the range of $5.88 to $5.93 based on an estimated 33.0 million shares outstanding.

This guidance excludes the effects of any future acquisitions, if any are made.

Paul B. Kusserow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Though COVID-19 continues to impact all of our lines of business, I am very proud of the efforts of the nearly 21,000 Amedisys employees and thank them for their continued dedication and tireless work throughout this quarter and for the results their work produced. Our operating environment continues to change in real-time and yet we have been able to grow Home Health and Hospice admissions. We have made significant progress on recovering our Hospice Business Development staff and remain very confident in our ability to continue to expand this group, translating into further admissions growth. Though it is hard to predict when the impacts of COVID-19 will truly subside, we remain very excited about all of the opportunity ahead of us. We are well positioned to capitalize on the aging demographics of the U.S. population; our industry leading quality scores make us a provider of choice for those that want to be cared for in their homes; and via our acquisition of Contessa, we have assembled a group of assets that truly differentiate Amedisys from our peers. It is a time unlike any other to be in our spaces and tackling the challenges of COVID-19 has, and continues to, energize our entire organization. My enthusiasm for the future of Amedisys has never been stronger.”

We urge caution in considering the current trends and 2021 guidance disclosed in this press release. The home health, hospice, personal care 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, 2020, 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.

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 service revenue, defined as net service revenue excluding certain items; (3) adjusted other operating income, defined as other operating income excluding certain items; (4) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc., defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. excluding certain items; and (5) 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.
