Management Commentary
Steve Griggs, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "2021 was a
remarkable year for AdaptHealth. Despite the worldwide pandemic, the shortage of CPAP equipment, and higher costs from supply chain challenges,
AdaptHealth has continued to grow and prosper. Although Adjusted EBITDA fell short of our full-year guidance due to product mix shift
from rental to sales, we were very pleased with our free cash flow generation as we exited the year.
Our operating and financial performance continues to reflect the increasingly
strong positioning of AdaptHealth in a challenging environment. We are especially proud of the efforts of our over 11,000 employees to
fulfill our mission to provide important medical equipment and supplies to the approximately 3.8 million patients who rely on us to live
Josh Parnes, President, commented, "In today's environment,
it is even more important to focus on efficiency. We continue to invest in technology to drive operational improvements and better patient
outcomes along with reductions in the cost of care, advancing our value proposition."

facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation
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

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, 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
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.
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
