Did AHCO Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results
AdaptHealth delivered a split verdict in Q1 2025, posting revenue of $777.88 million that edged past the $764.77 million consensus by 1.71% and surged 30.9% year-over-year, yet stumbled badly on the bottom line, reporting an EPS of -$0.05 against an expected $0.04, a miss of 225.00%. The earnings shortfall was rooted in meaningful profitability compression, with Adjusted EBITDA falling 19.3% to $127.94 million and margins contracting to 16.4% from 20.0% a year earlier, as higher costs of net revenue weighed heavily on operating income. A bright spot was cash flow from operations, which nearly doubled to $95.53 million, reflecting tighter working capital management. Strategically, AdaptHealth continued reshaping its portfolio through asset divestitures in its Wellness at Home segment, which prompted a modest trim to full-year guidance, with net revenue now expected between $3.18 billion and $3.32 billion and Adjusted EBITDA between $665 million and $705 million, while free cash flow guidance of $180 million to $220 million held firm. Reports of a new DME acquisition suggest the company is quietly balancing dispositions with selective growth moves.
