CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. – May 5, 2026 - AdaptHealth Corp.

First Quarter Business Highlights

• Completed the largest de novo expansion in the history of the home medical equipment industry, meeting an aggressive go live schedule to become the exclusive provider to the more than 10 million members of our new strategic partner.
• The acceleration of the transition came with $12 million of elevated labor expense, of which the majority was variable and is expected to normalize by the end of the second quarter.
