Management Commentary
Steve Griggs, Co-CEO of AdaptHealth, commented, "I'm very
pleased with our Q1 2021 financial performance, which reflects the continued dedication and focus of our 9,331 employees who have worked
under extremely challenging circumstances over the past 12 months. Our financial results also reflect the hard work done by the AdaptHealth
and AeroCare teams to complete the acquisition of AeroCare and combine the operations of both companies while not missing a beat with
our patients, referring physicians and health systems. These efforts, combined with our strong organic growth for the quarter and the
continued strength of our M&A pipeline, are the reasons we remain excited about the outlook of our business."
Mr. Griggs continued, "In April, we closed the
acquisition of Spiro Health Services, a provider of home medical equipment and supplies, which substantially expands our presence
throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic states and provides opportunities for both revenue and cost synergies. The Spiro Health
acquisition, like our acquisition of the Allina Health Home business in Minnesota, demonstrates our ability to expand our footprint
in growing markets through strategic acquisitions of market leaders."
Josh Parnes, President of AdaptHealth, commented, "We
are continuing to integrate and optimize technology across our organization to improve efficiencies, enhance sales and increase
customer satisfaction. This includes advancing the use of our e-prescribe platform, especially in our growing diabetes product line.
We are also very excited about the progress of our digital connected patient experience, where new technology product introductions
will help deliver solutions that bring us closer to our patients while improving outcomes and lowering costs."
Management will host a conference at 8:30 am ET
today to discuss the results and business activities. Interested parties may participate in the call by dialing:

Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will,"
"estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should,"
"would," "plan," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future,"

matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not 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 (COVID-19) pandemic and the Company's
response to it. A further description of such risks and uncertainties can be found in the Company's filings with the Securities

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 often times 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.
