The Pennant Group (PNTG) investor relations material

Operational performance and growth

• Achieved strong Q2 results with improvements in margins, productivity, and value creation despite ongoing asset transitions.

• Same-store growth has been robust, with 9–11% increases over the past three years, driven by empowering local leaders and aligning incentives.

• Census, revenue, and bottom-line performance have all improved, with momentum across home health, hospice, and senior living segments.

• Transition of Southeast assets is ahead of schedule, but some result variability is expected through year-end.

• Leadership development and local accountability are central to sustaining operational excellence and growth.

Acquisition and integration strategy

• Recent acquisitions, including Amedisys and LHC assets, have been integrated in multiple waves to retain staff and census.

• Technology stack and local leader empowerment are key levers for driving efficiency and value in new assets.

• Margin optimization for acquired assets is targeted over a nine-quarter period, aiming for 15–18% margins by 2027–2028.

• Joint ventures (JVs) with health systems expand market reach and operational scale, with four major partnerships established.

• JVs enable cross-market learning and provide a platform for further expansion, especially in new regions.

Capital allocation and investment approach

• Acquisition strategy is based on leadership readiness, operational strength, and ROI potential, with a disciplined, conservative balance sheet approach.

• Investments are agnostic to business line, focusing on opportunities to add or expand home health, hospice, or senior living services.

• Senior living growth often leverages triple net leases, acquiring distressed assets and turning them around operationally.

• Real estate investments are made selectively when value creation is clear, supporting sustainable growth.

• Seven portfolios across home health and hospice provide multiple growth engines, including single-site, JV, large-scale, and startup opportunities.
