The earnings call presents a mixed picture: positive operational performance and cash flow improvements are offset by increased net debt and uncertainties around stranded costs and divestitures. The Q&A section reveals management's lack of clarity on key issues, like asset valuation and competitive bidding impacts. Despite reaffirmed guidance and growth in certain segments, these concerns and the lack of significant catalysts suggest a neutral stock price movement in the short term, especially given the company's mid-cap status.
Revenue for Q2 2025 $682 million, an increase of 3.3% year-over-year. The growth was driven by the sleep category, urology, and ostomy, while diabetes supplies were lower due to modifications in customer ordering quantities and delivery frequency.
Revenue for the first 6 months of 2025 $1.36 billion, a 4.5% increase year-over-year. Growth was led by sleep, ostomy, and urology categories.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 $96.6 million (14.2% margin rate), up from $91.1 million (13.8% margin rate) in Q2 2024. Growth was driven by volume growth, improved collection rate, margin-favorable product mix, productivity gains, and lower benefit costs.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first 6 months of 2025 $192.7 million (14.2% of revenue), up from $160.3 million (12.3% of revenue) in the prior year. The increase was due to volume growth and margin-favorable product mix.
Stranded costs impacting adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 Approximately $11 million, down from $17 million in Q2 2024. The decrease was due to lower compensation and benefit costs.
Adjusted net income for Q2 2025 $20.5 million ($0.26 per share), up from $19.3 million ($0.25 per share) in Q2 2024. The increase was driven by improved operational performance.
Adjusted net income for the first 6 months of 2025 $43.7 million ($0.55 per share), up from $21.9 million ($0.28 per share) in the prior year. The growth was attributed to improved operational performance.
Net debt as of June 30, 2025 $1.9 billion, an increase of $126 million since the end of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the $100 million cash paid to terminate the Rotech acquisition.
Cash provided from operating activity in Q2 2025 $38 million, reversing the cash used in Q1 2025. This improvement was driven by a $94 million reduction in working capital, lower inventory levels, and improved collection rates.
Patient Direct Business Growth: The Patient Direct business has grown significantly since its acquisition in 2017, from $450 million in annual revenue and $38 million in EBITDA to a projected $2.76-$2.82 billion in revenue and $376-$382 million in adjusted EBITDA for 2025.
New Product Categories: Smaller categories, including the new chest wall oscillation line, performed very well in the quarter.
Home-Based Care Market: The company is transitioning to focus exclusively on the higher-margin, higher-growth Patient Direct segment, capitalizing on demographic shifts and macroeconomic trends driving demand for home-based healthcare.
Operational Efficiencies: Improvements in revenue cycle, the Sleep Journey program, category expansion, and addition of sales force contributed to operational efficiencies and growth.
Cost Management: Stranded costs from the divestiture of the Products & Healthcare Services segment are being managed, with plans to reduce these costs over time to improve profitability.
Divestiture of Products & Healthcare Services Segment: The company is in the final stages of divesting its Products & Healthcare Services segment to focus on the Patient Direct business.
Acquisition Strategy: The company terminated its agreement to acquire Rotech due to regulatory challenges but will continue to evaluate selective acquisition opportunities that align with its strategic vision.
Divestiture of Products & Healthcare Services segment: The divestiture process is in its final stages, but there are risks associated with mitigating stranded costs, which could rise before falling due to lost economies of scale and short-term spending on restructuring. This could impact profitability in the near term.
Termination of Rotech acquisition: The termination resulted in $80 million in expenses and $18 million in financing costs, which negatively impacted financial performance. The inability to obtain regulatory clearance for the merger highlights challenges in executing strategic acquisitions.
Supplier disruptions in diabetes supplies: Supplier disruptions led to modified customer ordering quantities and delivery frequency, resulting in lower-than-expected growth in the diabetes category. This could impact revenue recovery in the near term.
Debt levels and interest expenses: Net debt increased to $1.9 billion, with interest expenses remaining high. Although proceeds from the divestiture are planned for debt reduction, the current debt levels pose financial risks.
Stranded costs from divestiture: Stranded costs from the divestiture are expected to rise temporarily, impacting adjusted EBITDA and profitability. Efforts to reduce these costs will take time.
Regulatory hurdles for acquisitions: The failure to acquire Rotech due to regulatory challenges underscores potential difficulties in pursuing future acquisitions, which are a part of the company’s growth strategy.
Revenue Projections: Revenue for the Patient Direct business is expected to range between $2.76 billion and $2.82 billion for the full year of 2025. For the back half of 2025, revenue is projected to range from $1.40 billion to $1.46 billion.
Adjusted EBITDA Projections: Adjusted EBITDA for the Patient Direct business is expected to range between $376 million and $382 million for the full year of 2025. For the back half of 2025, adjusted EBITDA is projected to range from $183 million to $189 million.
Adjusted Net Income Projections: Adjusted net income per share is expected to range from $1.02 to $1.07 for the full year of 2025. For the back half of 2025, adjusted net income per share is projected to range from $0.47 to $0.52.
Market Trends and Growth Expectations: The company anticipates strong sustainable tailwinds in the home-based care market, driven by demographic shifts and macroeconomic trends. The Patient Direct business is positioned for profitable growth as demand for home-based healthcare to treat chronic conditions increases.
Strategic Focus: The company plans to focus on disciplined growth through organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions. Near-term priorities include completing the divestiture of the Products & Healthcare Services segment, mitigating stranded costs, reducing debt, advancing IT infrastructure and automation, and driving revenue and EBITDA growth.
Divestiture Impact: The planned divestiture of the Products & Healthcare Services segment is expected to result in increased stranded costs in the short term, but these costs are anticipated to decline over time as the company optimizes its cost structure.
The selected topic was not discussed during the call.
The earnings call presented mixed signals. Financial performance showed modest revenue growth but declining EBITDA and net income. The Q&A revealed uncertainties, such as the lack of specific 2026 guidance and the impact of large customer losses. However, the company remains compliant with covenants and anticipates strong performance barring major customer losses. The Optum agreement provides potential growth, but management's vague responses create uncertainty. Given the small market cap, the stock may react more strongly to these mixed signals, but overall, a neutral sentiment is warranted.
