USPH Reaffirms 2026 EBITDA Guidance of $102M to $106M
Management reaffirmed the Company's full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $102.0 million to $106.0 million, which includes the partial year impact of two previously announced hospital affiliations and the January 1, 2026 Medicare rate increase. The two previously announced strategic hospital alliances are expected to be accretive to the Company's revenue, EBITDA, and margins. Upon full integration of the 60 Metro clinics, the incremental annualized EBITDA contribution to Metro is expected to be at least $12 million, with the corresponding impact to USPH estimated to be at least $6 million, reflecting its 50% ownership interest in Metro. Upon full integration of the second subsidiary partner's ten clinics, the incremental annualized EBITDA contribution to the subsidiary partner is expected to be at least $2 million, with the corresponding impact to USPH estimated to be at least $1.3 million, reflecting its 65% ownership interest in the subsidiary partner. The Company's 2026 guidance reflects the phased ramp-up of these affiliations beginning May 2026.
