Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified entirely by, our condensed consolidated financial statements (including Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and the other consolidated financial information under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results and timing of events could differ from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or "forward-looking information" as such term is defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Any statements other than statements of historical information, including those that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking and may involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect the expectations or beliefs of management regarding future events, and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: operating results; profitability; financial condition and resources; anticipated needs for working capital; liquidity; capital resources; capital expenditures; milestones; licensing milestones; information with respect to future growth and growth strategies; anticipated trends in our industry; our future financing plans; timelines; currency fluctuations; government regulation; unanticipated expenses; commercial disputes or claims; limitations on insurance coverage or other reimbursement; and availability of cash flow to fund capital requirements. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “potential”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “projects”, or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “will”, “should”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology.
Forward-looking statements are based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect. We believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable.

General Matters
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Viemed Healthcare, Inc. and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest.
We were incorporated on December 14, 2016 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). As of June 30, 2020, we determined that we no longer qualify as a "foreign private issuer," as defined in Rule 3b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the purposes of the informational requirements of the Exchange Act. As a result, effective January 1, 2021, we became subject to the proxy solicitation rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act and Regulation FD, and our officers, directors, and principal shareholders became subject to the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We will continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC and with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR).
Overview
We provide an array of home medical equipment, services and supplies, specializing in post-acute respiratory care services in the United States. Our primary objective is to drive growth by increasing the number of patients served and the level of care provided through our technology-enabled, home-based clinical care and chronic disease management model. Our care programs are designed specifically to treat patients in the home for less total cost and with a superior quality of care. Our services include respiratory disease management (through the rental of various HME devices), neuromuscular care, in-home sleep testing and sleep apnea treatment, oxygen therapy, the sale of associated supplies, women’s health products and services, and healthcare staffing services.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue through the rental of non-invasive and invasive ventilators which represented 46.9% and 54.4% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We combine the benefits of home ventilation support with licensed Respiratory Therapists ("RTs") to drive improved patient outcomes and reduce costly hospital readmissions.
We expect to grow through expansion of existing service areas as well as in new territories through a cost efficient launch that reduces location expenses. We currently serve patients in all 50 states. We expect to expand our workforce of licensed clinical practitioners, including RTs, to support our growth and ensure the high service model is maintained in the home. As of March 31, 2026, we employed 403 licensed RTs, representing approximately 29% of our company-wide employee count. Beyond fulfilling our internal staffing needs, we also provide healthcare staffing and recruitment services, offering tailored workforce solutions to external healthcare institutions and partners seeking qualified clinical professionals.
By focusing overhead costs on personnel that service the patient rather than physical location costs, we anticipate that we will efficiently scale our business in territories that are currently not being effectively serviced.
The continued trend of servicing patients in the home rather than in hospitals is aligned with our business objective and we anticipate that this trend will continue to offer growth opportunities for us. We expect to continue to be a solution to the rising health costs in the United States by offering more cost effective, home based solutions while increasing the quality of life for patients managing chronic and complex health conditions.
Trends Affecting Our Business
Demographic and Market Trends
Home medical equipment markets are witnessing sustained expansion, with a notable focus on the complex respiratory and Obstructive Sleep Apnea ("OSA") device segments. Analysts in the industry anticipate a consistent and robust growth trajectory, projecting Compound Annual Growth Rates ("CAGR") of approximately 6% for respiratory devices and 8% for OSA devices. This upward trend underscores the increasing demand for innovative solutions in respiratory care and sleep apnea management, highlighting the industry's responsiveness to evolving healthcare needs. As technological advancements and awareness drive the adoption of these specialized devices, we believe the HME markets, particularly in respiratory and OSA, are positioned for continuous expansion, offering promising opportunities for both providers and consumers alike.
The aging population remains a pivotal driver for the industry, as the elderly, constituting a substantial portion of HME patients, are expected to represent a higher percentage of the overall population. Projections from industry analysts indicate a consistent annual growth in the number of Medicare beneficiaries, contributing to ongoing patient volume growth. A significant contributing factor to the industry's growth is the rising incidence of chronic diseases. Factors such as increasing obesity rates, consequences of past
Page 25
smoking prevalence, under-diagnosis of certain health conditions, and higher diagnosis rates for chronic diseases collectively shape the industry. There is a notable shift towards home-based treatment for these conditions.
The industry is undergoing a transition to value-based healthcare, with both government and commercial payors increasingly adopting models that emphasize the transition of patients from acute care settings to home care. We believe HME providers are well-positioned to benefit from this industry shift. Advancements in technology and medical equipment have led to an increased prevalence of in-home treatments. The broader range of treatments administered in patient homes is expected to continue growing. Projections from industry analysts indicate that U.S. home healthcare spending will increase, reaching $250 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of approximately 7%.
Market consolidation is a notable trend favoring larger, financially stable players. The decline in the number of smaller regional players is attributed to the capital investment and scale required to compete effectively. This has led to a more consolidated and competitive landscape in the durable medical equipment (“DME”) market.
Despite these positive trends, the industry faces challenges such as cost containment efforts of payors. The consolidation of managed care payors into larger purchasing groups has increased negotiating power, resulting in pricing pressure on HME providers. In addition to ongoing negotiations relating to contract management with third party payors to secure fair reimbursement, HME providers are engaging in value-based contracting, focusing on outcomes and patient satisfaction. These value-based contracts leverage data analytics to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness and quality of durable medical goods and provide evidence-based data to payors demonstrating the long-term benefits and cost savings associated with the use of certain medical goods.
Regulatory and Policy Developments
Regulatory and policy developments remain a key area of focus. In particular, ventilator coverage has received renewed attention from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”). Although ventilators have historically been included under the National Coverage Determination (“NCD”) for the Durable Medical Equipment Reference List, there was previously no dedicated policy specifically addressing ventilator use. On September 11, 2024, CMS initiated a national coverage analysis to evaluate noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in the home for the treatment of chronic respiratory failure associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. CMS issued a proposed decision memorandum on March 11, 2025, followed by a final NCD on June 9, 2025. We actively participated in this process through formal comments and engagement with CMS, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), and members of Congress. The final NCD establishes specific medical necessity criteria for ventilator use that are expected to influence patient access, reimbursement, and utilization patterns. In addition to affecting traditional Medicare, the NCD may also influence coverage determinations and reimbursement policies under commercial insurance and Medicare Advantage plans that reference or align with CMS coverage criteria. These changes may have a material impact on our business.
In addition, CMS has proposed comprehensive reforms to the Medicare Competitive Bidding Program for Durable, Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies ("DMEPOS"), along with related updates to supplier accreditation standards and Medicare provider enrollment requirements. The proposals are intended to modernize the program by refining payment methodologies, contract award processes, and supplier oversight. Although the final scope and timing of these reforms remain subject to CMS rulemaking, providers with greater scale, infrastructure, and compliance capabilities are generally positioned to compete more effectively under a restructured Competitive Bidding Program. Larger operators may benefit from economies of scale that support service obligations, enable pricing flexibility, and enhance administrative efficiency relative to smaller suppliers.
The federal budget reconciliation legislation, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed into law on July 4, 2025, introduces a broad set of statutory and policy changes that may affect the healthcare industry and our operations. Key provisions include revisions to Medicaid renewal and eligibility rules, adjustments to Medicaid state-directed payments and provider tax frameworks, new cost-sharing requirements, reduced home equity thresholds for long-term care eligibility, expanded telehealth coverage, and state waivers to support home and community-based services. The OBBBA also establishes a Rural Health Transformation program aimed at improving access and care coordination in underserved communities. Implementation of Pay-As-You-Go (“PAYGO”) rules could result in future adjustments to Medicare and Medicaid spending, including cost containment measures or payment reductions that may impact providers. Most provisions are scheduled to take effect in 2027 and 2028, although some states may elect to implement certain measures as early as 2026. We continue to monitor these regulatory developments closely.
Cost Pressures
Viemed operates in an environment of ongoing cost pressures from general cost increases, supply chain dynamics, and government policy. Manufacturing and distribution expenses are influenced by factors such as rising material, labor, and transportation costs, including fuel.
Page 26
As discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026, we are primarily exposed to trade policy and tariff developments indirectly, through supplier pricing and component sourcing rather than direct import activity. While certain medical equipment and components have historically been excluded from tariff regimes or subject to exemptions, trade measures may be expanded, reclassified, or implemented with limited notice, and suppliers may increase prices to reflect higher input costs, compliance requirements, or logistics constraints. These developments could increase our equipment and supply costs and reduce product availability. To date, we have not experienced a material adverse impact on operating costs or supply availability attributable to tariffs. However, the timing, scope, and duration of future actions remain uncertain, and we continue to monitor these developments and evaluate their potential operational and financial effects.
Future volatility in general price inflation and its impact on material availability, shipping, warehousing, and operational overhead could further impact financial results. Viemed attempts to manage these pressures through its inflation-linked reimbursement contracts, negotiation, leveraging its purchasing power, and embracing technology, such as its proprietary clinical management platform.

Total revenues
$ 75,414 100.0 % $ 59,129 100.0 % $ 16,285 27.5 %
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, total revenue was $75.4 million, an increase of $16.3 million, or 27.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase reflects broad-based growth across both our rental and sales and services revenue streams, driven by continued execution of our geographic expansion strategy and the ongoing diversified growth of our product and service offerings.
Ventilator rentals, non-invasive and invasive, revenues increased by $3.2 million, or 10.0%, to $35.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting higher period-over-period patient volumes attributable to sustained demand for our ventilation services. Rental revenue from other home medical equipment increased by $3.2 million, or 25.0%, to $16.2 million. This increase was driven by broad-based growth across our PAP therapy, oxygen therapy, and percussion vest service lines, each benefiting from an expanding patient base and the continued development of our sleep and respiratory programs, as well as the inclusion of maternal health equipment rentals from the Lehan acquisition completed on July 1, 2025.
Page 28
Equipment and supply sales increased by $10.0 million, or 132.6%, to $17.5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in our women's health product offerings, including breast pumps and related accessories, driven largely by the inclusion of revenues from the Lehan acquisition, as well as the continued scaling of our sleep resupply program, which drove higher volumes of PAP-related supplies and equipment. Service revenues, which primarily reflect our healthcare staffing operations, decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.9%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The composition of our revenue continues to evolve in a manner consistent with our long-term strategic objectives. Ventilator rentals remain the largest contributor to total revenue; however, PAP-related rental and resupply revenue, oxygen therapy, and maternal health offerings each represented a growing proportion of our overall revenue mix.
Cost of revenue and gross profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cost of revenue totaled $32.6 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 26.1%, from the comparable period in 2025. Gross profit margin improved to 56.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 56.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The margin improvement reflects disciplined cost management and the favorable operating leverage in our rental revenue base. While the significant growth in equipment and supply sales introduced a higher proportion of direct product costs relative to rental revenue, these were more than offset by the efficiency and scale benefits realized across our broader operations. As our sleep resupply program and other sales-oriented service lines continue to scale, we expect gross margins to gradually improve as fulfillment efficiencies are realized and the cost structure of these programs matures, though the continued diversification of our revenue mix may partially moderate the pace of that expansion.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue improved to 46.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 48.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $34.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $6.4 million (or 22.4%) from the comparable period in 2025.
The improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects continued operating leverage and efficiency gains as our revenue base has grown. The overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the prior period is primarily attributable to additional employee-related expenses to support the Company's overall growth and the inclusion of operating expenses from the Lehan acquisition completed on July 1, 2025. Our full-time employee count increased from 1,222 as of March 31, 2025 to 1,387 as of March 31, 2026, an increase of 14%, reflecting both organic expansion and acquired operations. As a result, employee related costs increased by $4.5 million, or 22%, compared to the prior year period.
We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we invest in personnel, infrastructure, and integration activities to support our growth initiatives. However, over time we expect these expenses to decline as a percentage of revenue as we continue to realize operating leverage from the scaling of our platform, although period-to-period fluctuations may occur based on the timing of hiring, integration efforts, and other strategic investments.
Research and development
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, research and development expense totaled $0.6 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 27.4%, from $0.8 million in the comparable period in 2025. We expect research and development costs to remain consistent throughout the remainder of 2026 as we continue to invest in technology initiatives to support our clinical operations and service delivery capabilities.
Stock-based compensation
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, stock-based compensation totaled $2.5 million, an increase of 6.1% from the comparable period in 2025. The increase reflects our continued investment in employee retention and long-term incentive programs, including the broader integration of equity-based awards into our compensation structure. In recent years, we have increased the use of equity-based awards as part of our overall compensation programs, and the higher expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflects the cumulative impact of awards granted in both the current and prior years, as those awards continue to vest over their respective service periods.
Page 29
Loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, loss on disposal of property and equipment totaled $0.4 million compared to a gain on disposal of property and equipment of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The gain recognized in the prior year period was primarily attributable to proceeds received from the sale of recalled ventilators back to the manufacturer in excess of their net book value.
The ventilator buyback program was substantially completed in 2025, and accordingly we do not expect additional material gains from these transactions in future periods. We may, however, continue to recognize gains or losses from the disposal of equipment in the ordinary course of business, including losses related to damaged or destroyed equipment.
Provision for income taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the provision for income taxes was a $1.3 million expense, compared to a $1.0 million expense during the 2025 period. Our annual estimated effective tax rate for 2026 is 29.7%.
Net income
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net income was $2.7 million, consistent with the comparable period in 2025. Net income as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 4.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The prior year period benefited from gains recognized from the ventilator buyback program, which did not recur in the current period, resulting in a lower net income margin despite growth in underlying operating performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of the Company’s business that is not dependent on the impact of the Company’s capitalization structure and items that are not part of the Company’s day-to-day operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for the Company’s employees, (iii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s internal annual operating budget, and (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Company’s operational strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating performance in the same manner as management. It is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue or net income, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, certain items (mostly non-cash) are excluded from net income attributable to Viemed Healthcare, Inc. including depreciation and amortization of capitalized assets, net interest expense, stock based compensation, transaction costs, impairment of assets, and taxes.
The following table is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Viemed Healthcare, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, on a historical basis for the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 was $9.8 million, compared to $13.5 million at December 31, 2025. Typically, our principal source of liquidity is the collection of our patient accounts receivable. In addition to our collection of patient accounts receivable, from time to time, we can and do obtain additional sources of liquidity through the incurrence of indebtedness. Based on our current plan of operations, we believe cash and cash equivalents, when combined with expected cash flows from operations and amounts available under our 2022 Senior Credit Facilities will be sufficient to fund our growth strategy and to meet our anticipated operating expenses, capital expenditures, and debt service obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. The Company has also historically utilized short term financing arrangements with suppliers that could be extended over a longer term if there was a need for additional liquidity.
On June 6, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program. Under the terms of this program, the Company repurchased 1,976,441 of its common shares and the program was completed and terminated during 2025. On March 4, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and approved a new share repurchase program (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the terms of the 2026 Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase up to 1,930,131 of its common shares from time to time through open market purchases, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased and canceled 150,000 common shares pursuant to the 2026 Share Repurchase Program.

Senior Credit Facilities
On November 29, 2022, the Company refinanced its existing borrowings under the prior Commercial Business Loan Agreement with Hancock Whitney Bank and entered into a new credit agreement (the "2022 Senior Credit Facilities") with the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent, that provides for an up to $30.0 million revolving credit facility (the "2022 Revolving Credit Facility") and an up to $30.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan Facility"), both maturing in November 2027. On May 28, 2024, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities that extended the delayed draw term loan commitment expiration date to November 29, 2025, from its initial expiration date of May 29, 2024, and provided for other technical amendments. On June 6, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities that, among other things, increased the permitted amount of restricted payments that may be made by the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to specified conditions, and made other conforming and administrative changes. On November 7, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities that, among other things, further extended the delayed draw term loan commitment expiration date from November 29, 2025 to November 29, 2026 and included other technical amendments.
The proceeds of the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility may be used to refinance existing indebtedness, for working capital purposes, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes (including permitted acquisitions), and to pay transaction fees, costs and expenses related to the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities. The proceeds of the 2022 Term Loan Facility and any additional term loans established in accordance with the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities may be used to finance permitted acquisitions and to pay transaction fees, costs and expenses related to such acquisitions. Outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Term Loan Facility were $9.6 million as of March 31, 2026. There were no outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2026.
The interest rates per annum applicable to the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities are Term SOFR plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 2.625% to 3.375%, or, at the option of the Company, a Base Rate (as defined in the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities) plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.625% to 2.375%.
The 2022 Senior Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with certain affirmative, as well as certain negative covenants that, among other things, will restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations and pay dividends and other restricted payments. The 2022 Senior Credit Facilities also include certain financial covenants, which generally include, but are not limited to the following:
• Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio ( defined generally as total indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA) of not greater than (i) for any fiscal quarter ending during the period from the closing date to and including December 31, 2024, 2.75 to 1.0 and (ii) for any fiscal quarter ending on and after March 31, 2025, 2.50 to 1.0, subject to certain adjustments following a material acquisition.
• Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ( defined generally as (a) adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures minus cash taxes to (b) the sum of scheduled principal payments plus cash interest expense plus restricted payments) of not less than 1.25:1.0.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the 2022 Senior Credit Facilities in effect at March 31, 2026.

Use of Funds
Our principal uses of cash are funding the purchase of rental assets and other capital purchases, the repayment of debt, the repurchase of shares of our common stock, the funding of acquisitions, operations, and other working capital requirements. Our contractual obligations primarily relate to the repayment of existing debt and contractual obligations for operating leases. The following table presents our material contractual obligations and commitments to make future payments as of March 31, 2026:
Within 12 Months Beyond 12 Months
Debt Obligations, including interest
$ 2,224 $ 9,095
Lease Obligations
1,413 2,229
Total
$ 3,637 $ 11,324
Except for the funding of potential acquisitions and investments, we anticipate that our operating cash flows will satisfy our material cash requirements for the 12 months after March 31, 2026. In addition to our operating cash flows, we may need to raise additional funds to support our contractual obligations and investing activities beyond such 12 month period, and such funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, our operations and ability to execute our business strategy could be adversely affected. We may seek to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked or debt financings. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our stockholders.
Leases
Leases under which we assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lesser of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset. The associated lease liability is drawn down over the life of the lease by allocating a portion of each lease payment to the liability with the remainder being recognized as finance charges. Leases that do not transfer the risks and rewards of ownership to the Company are treated as operating leases and are expensed as incurred.
Retirement Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for employees to which eligible employees can contribute a percentage of their pre-tax compensation. Matching employer contributions to the 401(k) plan totaled $0.6 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

Accounting and Disclosure Matters
Critical Accounting Estimates
We are required to disclose “critical accounting estimates” which are estimates made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The more significant of these policies are summarized in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Not all significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. However, the policy noted below could be deemed to meet the SEC’s definition of a critical accounting estimate.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded based upon contractually agreed-upon rates, reduced by estimated adjustments for variable consideration for implicit price concessions related to sales revenues and estimated probable losses related to rental revenues. Due to the nature of the industry and the reimbursement environment in which we operate, certain estimates are required in order to record revenues and accounts receivable net of these adjustments. Management’s evaluation takes into consideration such factors as historical realization data, including current and historical cash collections, accounts receivable aging trends, other operating trends and relevant business conditions.
Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they may have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. It is possible that management’s estimates could change, which could have an impact on operations and cash flows. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements, patient qualification for medical necessity of equipment and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. If the payment amount received differs from the estimated amount, an adjustment is made in the period that these payment differences are determined.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our results of operations, financial positions and cash flows.
