Forward-Looking Statements - Safe Harbor
This press release contains "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
can be identified by words such as: "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "project,"
"estimate," "expect," "may," "should," "will" and similar references to future
periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements the Company may make regarding future revenues, future
earnings, other future financial results, regulatory developments, market developments, new products and growth strategies and the effects
of any of the foregoing on its future results of operations or financial condition.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances
of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the
future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances
that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company's control. The Company's actual results and financial
condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause the Company's
actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others,
the following: changes in laws and regulations applicable to its business model; changes in market conditions and receptivity to its services
and offerings; pending and future litigation; potential liability for claims not covered by insurance; and loss of relationships with
managed care organizations and other non-governmental third party payers. For a detailed discussion of the risk factors that could affect
its actual results, please refer to the risk factors identified in the Company's SEC reports as filed with the SEC.
Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this press release
is based only on information currently available to it and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of
new information, future developments or otherwise.
Preliminary Unaudited Financial Data
The preliminary financial information included in this press release
is subject to completion of the Company's year-end close procedures and further financial review. The Company has provided ranges,
rather than specific amounts, because these results are preliminary and subject to change. Actual results may differ from these estimates
as a result of the completion of the Company's year-end closing procedures, review adjustments and other developments that may arise
between now and the time such financial information for the period is finalized. As a result, these estimates are preliminary, may change
and constitute forward-looking information and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These preliminary estimates should
not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), and they should not be viewed as indicative of the Company's results for any future period. The Company's
independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to these estimated
financial results and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary estimates.
Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial information in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company is also reporting Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per share
("Adjusted EPS"), which are non-GAAP financial measures. These adjusted measures are not measurements of financial performance
under GAAP and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute or alternative to net income, earnings per share, or any other performance
measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as a substitute or alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of the
Company's liquidity. In addition, the Company's definitions of Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS may
not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. As defined by the Company: (i) Adjusted
net income represents net income before intangible asset amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring, acquisition,
integration and other expenses, net of tax adjustments, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income
tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and restructuring, acquisition,
integration and other expenses, and (iii) Adjusted earnings per share represents Adjusted net income divided by weighted average
common shares outstanding, diluted. As part of restructuring, acquisition, integration and other expenses, the Company may incur significant
charges such as the write down of certain long-lived assets, temporary redundant expenses, professional fees, certain litigation expenses
and reserves related to acquired businesses, potential retention and severance costs and potential accelerated payments or termination
costs for certain of its contractual obligations. Management believes that these adjusted measures provide useful supplemental information
regarding the performance of Option Care Health's business operations and facilitate comparisons to the Company's historical
operating results. The Company has not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, nor Adjusted EPS guidance to GAAP earnings per
share, as management believes creation of this reconciliation would not be practicable due to the uncertainty regarding, and potential
variability of, material reconciling items. Full reconciliations of each adjusted measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure
are set forth below.
