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,"
"outlook," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical
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 customers' preferences, prospects
and the competitive conditions prevailing in the healthcare sector; and the impact of the 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
and Exchange Commission. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results
implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently knows or that the Company currently
believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition,
forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this
press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company's assessments to change. However,

any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments as
of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
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 and Adjusted EBITDA, 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.
The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating
the Company's financial performance. 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.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of
financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 measure
for the Company's non-GAAP financial guidance because the Company is not able to reliably predict the impact of certain items, including
equity-based compensation expense, transaction costs, changes in fair value of the warrant liability, and other non-recurring items of
expense or income in full year 2022. As a result, reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures 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.
In addition, the Company's non-GAAP financial guidance in this
release excludes the impact of any potential additional future strategic acquisitions and any specified items that have not yet been identified
and quantified. The financial
guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties applicable to all forward-looking statements as described elsewhere in this press release.
