limited to, statements regarding projections, estimates and forecasts of revenue and other financial and performance metrics and
projections of market opportunity and expectations and the Company's acquisition pipeline. These statements are based on
various assumptions and on the current expectations of AdaptHealth management and are not predictions of actual performance. These
forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied
on, by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events
and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances
are beyond the control of the Company.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties, including the outcome of judicial and administrative proceedings to which the Company may become a party
or governmental investigations to which the Company may become subject that could interrupt or limit the Company's operations,
result in adverse judgments, settlements or fines and create negative publicity; changes in the Company's clients'
preferences, prospects and the competitive conditions prevailing in the healthcare sector; and the impact of the recent coronavirus

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Financial Guidance
This release contains non-GAAP financial guidance, which is
adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that are evaluated on an individual basis.
These non-GAAP items are adjusted after considering their quantitative and qualitative aspects and typically have one or more
of the following characteristics, such as being 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.
The Company uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
less Patient Equipment Capex, which are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, to analyze its financial results and believes that they are useful to investors,
as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures. In addition, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and make investments
under its existing credit agreement is governed, in part, by its ability to satisfy tests based on a variation of Adjusted EBITDA
less Patient Equipment Capex.
The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment
Capex is useful to investors in evaluating the Company's financial performance. The Company's business requires significant
investment in equipment purchases to maintain its patient equipment inventory. Some equipment title transfers to patients'
ownership after a prescribed number of fixed monthly payments. Equipment that does not transfer wears out or oftentimes is not
recovered after a patient's use of the equipment terminates. The Company uses this metric as the profitability measure in
its incentive compensation plans that have a profitability component and to evaluate acquisition opportunities, where it is most
often used for purposes of contingent consideration arrangements. In addition, the Company's debt agreements contain covenants
that use a variation of Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex for purposes of determining debt covenant compliance. For
purposes of this metric, patient equipment capital expenditure is measured as the value of the patient equipment received during
the accounting period without regard to whether the equipment is purchased or financed through lease transactions.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment
Capex should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance.
Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative
to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating
activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity.
There is no reliable or reasonably estimable comparable GAAP
