speaker
Suzanne Foster

Thank you, and good morning. We're joining our second quarter earnings call. I'm pleased to report another consistent quarter with second quarter results in line with expectations for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. With this being my first quarter, I'd like to start by briefly sharing why I'm excited to be at ADAPT Health. I joined the team because I believe in our purpose and the vital role we play in improving health care. For too long, I have witnessed the increasing desire to extend high-quality and cost-effective care to the comfort of one's home, and I want to be part of solving this problem and accelerating this movement. I'm grateful for the learnings that have come from a 30-year career in health care that began on the front lines as a clinical social worker in a hospital setting. The learnings from obtaining a degree in public health policy focused on ways to bend the health care cost curve, followed by experiences in leading companies focused on medical devices, life sciences, and distribution of health care supplies. Most recently, I led a business within a large corporation known for operational excellence and high performance through emphasizing standard work, standard metrics, and a mindset of continuous improvement. I'm bringing these learnings and skill sets to the team at ADAPT Health, which I'm confident will result in improved performance and growth across our business. Over the last two months, I've spent most of my time traveling to meet our employees and see our operations. Here are a few of my early impressions. Overall, the business is performing well. Our patients and care programs are best in class, digital orders are increasing, thereby reducing the number of faxes, resupply demand is strong, and our technology infrastructure projects are underway. I am especially impressed with the depth of commitment and knowledge of this team. The team at ADAPT Health formed through many acquisitions brought together strong and entrepreneurial leaders in the industry with decades of experience. Our team knows the business and in many cases have grown up in the business. There are, however, some key areas where I see I can, where we can improve to realize our full potential and growth. We're making several investments now in the areas of talent, strengthening our processes focused on organic growth, simplifying the business, developing a long-term strategy for sustainable growth, and technology adoption. Let me take these five areas of focus one at a time. First, we are investing in clinical, commercial, and operational talent to empty areas of the organization, and we are working to better align our teams, provide role clarity, and remove duplication. We are investing in training that is focused on process improvement for critical workflows. We are having our first Kaizen event this month with several more scheduled this year. We have implemented standard work and metrics across the leadership team and are working to drive this through the rest of the organization. The alignment of roles and responsibilities and the standardization of how we do the work has become an important initiative for us and one we are excited about. In sum, we are coming together as one adapt. The team is eager to create and adopt standard work and understands that this work is work we must do ourselves. We have the knowledge and desire to do so. This work will help us drive leverage and position us for growth in the large end markets we serve. Our goal is to continuously improve on how we deliver cost-effective, accurate, and timely care to the home. Second, we are working to strengthen the business to deliver organic growth in the three markets we serve, sleep, respiratory, and diabetes. We are working to align our sales forces. We are expanding our national accounts and payor relations teams. On the operation side, we are taking steps to improve our throughput and conversion rates so that our sales teams have the confidence to deliver on the promise of reliable and accurate service. Third, we are simplifying our processes and our org structure while continuing to strengthen our balance sheet. We are evaluating non-core assets, rationalizing our footprint, and we are paying down debt. All these efforts are focused on increasing our free cash flow yield. Fourth, we are building a strategy for long-term sustainable growth, one that positions ourselves for increased clinical and payer relevance. To that end, we created a new leadership role and welcomed Dr. Philip Hark as our Executive Vice President of Strategy and Healthcare Innovation. As an experienced military and civilian physician, strategist, and leader, he is intimately familiar with the clinical, technological, and logistical challenges of decentralized care on the battlefield and in the home. We are embracing our role as we are uniquely positioned to enable decentralized healthcare more broadly, reliably, and with higher levels of clinical quality and improved patient experiences. Dr. Hark understands the important roles we play as a provider and facilitator of care and support to people living with acute and chronic diseases. I believe the unique lens his background and experiences afford him will be invaluable as we shape our strategy and future of what this company can become. Finally, I have familiarized myself with our IT systems and infrastructure, and I'm happy to report that the team made solid progress in this area over the past couple of years. I do, however, see significant potential for automation, AI, and other advanced technologies to improve our operations, increase our capabilities, and drive efficiencies. We are currently conducting a few low-cost experiments with AI that are progressing well around customer and clinical documentation. The technology is producing highly accurate structured data with predictable results. It is early days, but this is encouraging because we know that our critical functions can run more efficiently and effectively if we remove the work that otherwise slows us down. What is more compelling is that accurately and reliably transforming facts and digitally transmitted documents into structured data at scale can unlock potential to improve patient experiences and allow us to personalize our patient and provider interactions. We are just at the beginning of this journey, but we are confident that we will soon uncover more areas for operational improvement and efficiencies using AI, which will create a better experience for employees, patients, and providers that we support. We have already invested in key hires, initiated projects focused on increasing organic growth, and are simplifying the business. We believe these short-term investments will lead to longer-term improved profitability and performance, ultimately fulfilling our mission to shift more care to the home and reduce overall healthcare costs. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the team at Adapt Health, our partners and shareholders who have helped educate me on the state of the business and the markets we serve. I am optimistic about the road ahead and look forward to working as one Adapt, a unified team to simplify and standardize our operations, deliver growth, realize clinical and payer value, and most importantly, support our patients in their homes. With that, I will turn it over to Jason.

speaker
Jason

Thanks, Suzanne, and thanks to all for joining our call today. For the second quarter of 2024, we delivered against our expectations for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. Incremental expense associated with recovering from the change healthcare situation came in line with what we projected. Shipping lead times for -re-supply products improved in June over what we experienced in April and May. Net revenue of $806 million increased .6% compared to the second quarter of 2023. Sleep revenue of $322.4 million increased .5% over the prior year. New starts were strong, up over 5% sequentially from Q1. Notably, our -re-supply census reached a new milestone in the quarter and now stands at over 1.6 million patients. Over 30% of new patients responded to our GLP-1 survey in the quarter, which showed that approximately 12% of those patients were prescribed GLP-1 therapy, up a touch from the first quarter. While we continue to closely monitor adherence and resupply ordering patterns in our GLP-1 patient cohort versus patients not currently utilizing GLP-1 therapy, we have not detected any notable difference to date. Diabetes revenue of $151.2 million was down $17.7 million over the prior year. But as previously discussed, we faced a tough prior year CGM comparable this quarter due to timing of system conversions in 2023, so we expected -over-year compression. For the first half of 2024, diabetes revenue of $302 million was down $13.2 million over the first half of 2023. We expected pump and supplies revenue to decline by about $10 million for the first half, but results were slightly worse as some patients held off on new tubeless pumps pending CGM compatibility that just recently launched, so we believe that start should pick up in the second half. Also, we started supplying -to-movie during the second quarter, and we expect that product to ramp up over the rest of the year. As expected, CGM revenue growth was flat for the first half, as our new sales reps made up for three payers that shifted to 100% pharmacy reimbursement earlier in the year. As of today, our pharmacy is now distributing products in each of those markets, and we are working to grow. Since the end of the quarter, we have seen a modest shift in payer reimbursement channels, but encouragingly, we have seen shifts in both directions. We remain focused on building the capabilities to provide our diabetes products, regardless of reimbursement channel, and our sales force is focused on growing our share in a continuously increasing achievable market. Revenue from all other categories was $332.4 million, growing .3% over the prior year, led by respiratory. Much of our respiratory growth was driven by the one boarding the rest of our Humana patients, and we were pleased with those results. Utilization is right in line with our expectations. For the HME and -the-home revenue categories, we continue to reevaluate products that do not fit our strategic roadmap and do not drive the ancillary volumes into our core areas of sleep, respiratory, and diabetes. To that end, we recently signed a definitive agreement to sell certain custom rehab technology assets to National Seating and Mobility, a well-respected national mobility solutions provider with over 30 years of experience in the CRG category. For Adapt Health, these products represented a small amount of revenue from individual acquisitions over the years, but an aggregate represented at a point of enterprise revenue. Later, we will discuss our adjustments to four-year guidance, and we are looking forward to working closely with NSM to ensure a smooth transition. Turning to profitability, second quarter adjusted EVA of $165.3 million reflects an adjusted EVA margin of 20.5%, a slight improvement over the first quarter. Our sequential margin expansion was driven by cost of products and supplies, primarily driven by outsized growth in higher margin products and compression in diabetes products that are amongst the lowest product margins in our portfolio. Labor and other operating expenses performed as expected. Cash flow from operations was 198 million, driven by cash inflows that were delayed from Q1 due to the change healthcare situation. The sales outstanding for Q2 was 48.9, but the month of June was 44.3, and we expect to be back to normal by the end of the third quarter. Cap ups of 81.3 million, representing .1% of revenue, was down against .4% of revenue the second quarter of 2023. Free cash flow of 116.7 million outperformed our target of $94 million. We remain confident in delivering our full-year guidance for cash flow. At the end of the second quarter, our TLA bounce was 650 million, a result of paying off $45 million since the end of the quarter, including voluntary payments of $35 million. Our net leverage ratio is now just under three times, ahead of our goal to be under three times before the end of 2024. We expect a further de-lever over the remainder of the year. For the third quarter, we expect revenue to be flat sequentially from Q2, accounting for the disposition discussed earlier and in line with the seasonal effects we experienced last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin percent of 20.0%, down slightly from Q2, as we recently made key investments in people and technology that Suzanne discussed earlier. Free cash flow of at least $30 million. For the full year, we are adjusting our revenue midpoint to account for the disposition discussed earlier. However, we are maintaining our midpoint for adjusted EBITDA, and we are increasing our midpoint for free cash flow. Our updated full year guidance is net revenue to be in the range of $3.255 to $3.315 billion. Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $660 to $700 million. And free cash flow to be in the range of $160 to $180 million. With that, we'll open the call up for questions. Operator?

Once again, that is star 1 to ask a question. And we will take our first question from Brian Telequitt from Jeffries. Please go ahead.

speaker
Brian Telequitt

Hey, good morning. Thanks. It's Jack Slebonon for Brian. Great work on the quarter to the team, and welcome to Suzanne on the first earnings call here. I guess maybe starting with that, Suzanne, the one comment I just wanted to make sure I got clarity on, your point on taking a look at non-core assets, could you just give a sense for kind of what you mean in terms of size and scope or boundaries that you might put around that? I just want to make sure I understood that correctly.

speaker
Suzanne Foster

Hi there. Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm going to let Jason handle the size and scope, but let me clarify what I mean by non-core assets. So as I looked at our portfolio, one of the benefits, of course, is we have a really nice broad portfolio that has helped us serve patients with sleep disorders, respiratory, and diabetes. But then we have a bunch of other or a few other things that are around that that came in through the acquisitions that really strategically don't support us moving towards the non-core assets. So we have a broad portfolio that is focused on those three areas. So as I looked across the portfolio, we challenged ourselves to say which of these is in furtherance of supporting patients with those chronic and acute conditions. And if not, and there is no other strategic imperative there, then should adapt moment.

speaker
Jason

Yes, and I'd round that out, Jack, by saying that as we qualify certain products, this is a very targeted analysis and study that we've been working on for some time. Products that are no growth to low growth with no margin to low margin, taking free cash out of the company, I mean, those certainly we are looking very hard at those products. Additionally, if the product does not provide ancillary revenue, an example is some of our businesses that we support our hospital systems. Well, you know, those are not good candidates for disposition because that individual product on its own may not have a high growth profile or high margin. However, it feeds respiratory feeds the HME categories that we're focused on. So that's a little bit of how we're approaching this program. In terms of size or scope or what else to come, I mean, we won't have much to say about that today. You know, in the next quarter, I suspect that we will have something to discuss at that time. But at the end of the day, you know, we're focused on simplifying this business and continuing to be lever our balance sheet.

speaker
Brian Telequitt

Got it. Really, really helpful. And then Jason, maybe just as a follow up on some of the diabetes commentary, I just want to make sure I'm understanding sort of what the expectation is on the trajectory, both on the pump side of things and on the CGM side of things as we look into the second half. So it's sort of got that things were ahead of expectation on pumps coming out of one queue, now two queue, you know, lagging a little behind what's baked in the guidance. I guess when we think about jumping to the second half there, what's the, you know, how do we get confident that that's turning the corner or any color there would be helpful? And then just how you're thinking about CGM, like the Salesforce and other moving pieces into the second half. Thanks.

speaker
Jason

Yeah, sure. I think first on pump and pump supplies, you know, I might remind you that at the beginning of the year when we set up your guidance, we had expected somewhere between a 15 and 20 million dollar top line compression. Much of that driven by the continued shift from two base pumps to two bliss pumps, which are primarily distributed through pharmacy operations. And, you know, we've been playing a little bit of catch up, which we've been making progress on as reported last quarter. For this quarter, look, pumps fell a little behind. You know, we believe it's timing related, related to the CGM compatibility. Some of this was just launched in June for Dexcom G7 as well as the VBA 3. And so we think we'll call some of that back in the third quarter. So that 15 to 20 still holds. I have to say today, probably closer to 20, but we're still within range to that. For CGMs, you know, as discussed, we came in line with our our full year guidance expectation of flat as we knew we had to overcome some bear policy shift earlier in the year. Based on what we're seeing today, we're feeling pretty good with the back out on CGM. We have noted a small handful of shifts, you know, in the last month or two. But encouragingly, as mentioned in our prepared remarks, some of this actually went the other way. You know, there was a state Medicaid plan that had switched to a 100 percent pharmacy reimbursement a couple of years ago. And, you know, effective July 1st of this year, they reopened the DME benefit. So it's essentially a dual channel reimbursement, which we believe is an indication of the value that the DME drives versus a pharmacy. It's that constant touch. It's the adherence. It's the relationship with the patient. It's the access to the data that's getting generated from the CGM and where we have patient consent. We're monitoring. I mean, after all, a measurement for a one C every six months by a blood test is a triple weighted stars measure. And look, these things matter to payers. And so we're continuing to do work to help educate the market. It buys on that dynamic. And of course, be agnostic in our diabetes products regarding the how we get reimbursed. We want to take care of as many patients as possible because we think we

speaker
Brian Telequitt

do a great job of it. Got it. Really helpful. Thanks again and congrats.

speaker
Operator

Our next question will come from Richard Close with Canocorgenuity. Please go ahead.

speaker
Richard Close

Yes, thanks for the questions, Suzanne. Welcome, Jason, maybe just diving deeper on the diabetes side. Obviously, Dexcom had some mixed results there. I guess, you know, if you could put it in context, you know, how you're thinking in terms of how the second quarter performed and the second half. Was there anything surprising in their commentary on the market versus what you have baked in to your assumption?

speaker
Jason

Richard, thanks for the question. I wouldn't say that there's anything surprising to us from Dexcom's comments. I'd say that if anything was surprising, it was a reference to relationships with DME operators. Like for us, I mean, we've maintained a longstanding and I think very solid open relationship with Dexcom. So that to us just, you know, it doesn't apply. Regarding their down guide and revenue changes, I mean, again, for us, like, you know, operating within this DME reimbursement channel, having very deep visibility now in the pharmacy channel and shifts as they occur. Can't say we had that a year ago, about a year and a half ago, but we did invest in a fair amount of detection, kind of forward looking detection capabilities. And so, you know, at this stage, it's to us, it feels like a slow moving but dynamic channel environment. And so, you know, based on the information we have today, we're feeling good with our full year guide.

speaker
Richard Close

Okay, I appreciate that. And then maybe, Suzanne, if you could talk a little bit about the sales teams, you made some comments there, I think, in your delivering better organic growth. Can you just provide a little bit more details on any changes to the sales teams and adding to national accounts? That would be helpful. Thank you.

speaker
Suzanne Foster

Sure. Thank you. Sales teams is one of my favorite topics. So today we have several different sales teams and we go to our customers in several different channels. And, you know, again, it's only been a little over 60 days, so I want to preface this with I haven't completely dug in, but I do have a hypothesis that if we further align our commercial organization so that we're looking at it more holistically, what I mean by that is all of our referral sources, so all the different providers that refer to us, the big national accounts and the payers, if we look at that in a holistic way around what are we trying to accomplish and we align the teams under that strategy, then maybe there's more to be had. So, for example, we know that a lot of patients have multiple comorbidities. And the hypothesis on the table is, do we look at a different way of going to market where we're capturing the referral both for the diabetic patient and who also may have a sleep disorder? And so that's work to be done in this next quarter, but the going in hypothesis is that we can do more with our current sales organization.

speaker
Richard Close

Okay, thank you.

speaker
Operator

Our next question will come from Matthew Blackman with CEPHL. Please go ahead.

speaker
Matthew Blackman

Hi, this is Colin on from that. We saw a couple dynamics play out this quarter from both the pump and CGM companies that have already reported. We're still trying to fully wrap our head around it, but it sounds like things are okay on the CGM side. I'm curious on the pump side, things are now tracking more in line with your original expectations. Last quarter, you saw the pharmacy mix for Omnipod 5 actually exceed your DME pump mix, your durable pump mix for the first time. Did that continue this quarter and with the potential backup of patients looking to adopt the new integration, do you expect that to continue in the second half?

speaker
Jason

Hey, Colin, this is Jason. Good question. We did not see the strength in OP5 setups in the second quarter that we saw in the first and fourth quarter of last year. You know, we're very confident that that is related to just a delay, patients delaying, providers delaying on account of the CGM integrations. Our July numbers are up quite significantly for OP5, and so, you know, hard to say if that will be a trend or make a trend, but, you know, we are confident that it's a timing issue.

speaker
Matthew Blackman

Great. And then really quickly on the sleep business, you mentioned last quarter the potential for some supply constraints. It really didn't seem to play out in this quarter's results, but just wanted to confirm that that's not a worry going forward for the rest of the year. Thank you.

speaker
Jason

Yes, good question, Colin. We're feeling good on supply across all products as we stand here today. You know, through April and early May, so we reported on about that second week of May, we were absolutely experiencing slowdown from some specific sleep resupply products. You know, that did get better over the course of the quarter, and we ended up coming in right in line with what we expected. That's not a spillover in any way for the rest of the year, and as we stand here today, we've got the products that we need to take care of our patient demand.

speaker
Matthew Blackman

Great. Thank you.

speaker
Operator

Our next question will come from Eric Holdwell with Baird. Please go ahead.

speaker
Matthew Blackman

Thanks. I have a few, hopefully not too long. On the sleep, Jason, that you just responded to, I think the options that were laid out, if those previous constraints continued, were that you could just wait and then hopefully the manufacturer of the shipping would clear up. You could shift to alternative suppliers or you could perhaps, you know, shift your strategy on getting supply into the market. You know, maybe I think at one point even mentioned running a plane and flying stuff over. So I'm just curious, what was the final tally? Was it just the manufacturing question got the problem resolved or the shipping lanes cleared? What actually changed in the second half of the quarter?

speaker
Jason

Yeah, good question. We did not have to pull any levers operationally to deliver on the quarter as it related to that item. The manufacturer supply chain did come through for us.

speaker
Matthew Blackman

Okay. On sleep, I think you said patient sleep starts were up over 5%. And hopefully that's the right number that I got. If so, that's pretty good. Eric,

speaker
Jason

that's sequential versus

speaker
Matthew Blackman

prior. So Q over Q. Yes. Yeah, okay. So no change in your overall view on equipment rental run rate this year given, you know, working through the prior period supply constraints and then the patient pack log that came back in a year plus ago. You have a tough comp on equipment rental. What you saw this quarter doesn't change your view on equipment rental for the full year then.

speaker
Jason

If anything changed, it's a modest improvement in outlook. You know, our census for rental bottomed in February. And of course, as a reminder, that was related to, you know, healthy starts in the first quarter. But, you know, record starts a year ago. And as those patients, as we start getting paid for that rental device 13 months later, right. So it was really that phenomenon. But we bonded in February and we have continued to increase that census since. So we're feeling very solid on the rental line for sleep. You know, if anything, you know, we're feeling a little bit better than we did a quarter ago.

speaker
Matthew Blackman

One or two more quick ones, if you will. First off, you maintain the -Bit-DAW guidance at the midpoint, but you also mentioned heightened investments. I was hoping you could walk through some of the mechanics there, selling the business, some other, you know, progression and some of your other lines. Now you have some heightened investments you've called out. How does this all, what are the pluses and minuses in that analysis? And maybe just how much is the incremental investment that was highlighted?

speaker
Jason

Yeah, sure thing, Eric. I might start on the disposition. You know, the guidance change implies 15 million of revenue for the rest of the year and zero dollar, even in fact, for the rest of the year. You know, for us, these were kind of collections of businesses acquired over years. We didn't maintain a product leader and a distinct focus on growing it or driving efficiencies in that business. We think that National City Mobility is going to be a terrific owner for that business. We think they're going to take very good care of that patience. We think that, you know, they will find under their management and their focus, you know, improvement in growth, improvement in operating margin. I mean, that business will be in good hands, we believe. So that's the first piece. So on the even line, no impact for the full year. Now, in terms of the third quarter and Suzanne's remarks, we have made several key investments, some just a week or two after Suzanne arrived. And so I frame that as a couple million in people within the third quarter, a couple million in technology within the third quarter. You know, in the fourth quarter, we have to counteract some of this and to make sure we deliver on our full year guide. We've got various cost out streams that activated two weeks ago. And so we'll get a little bit of that back in Q3. But, you know, the predominance we expect to get back in Q4, you know, so think of the Q3 as well as Q4 as recurring expense. So it's left pocket, right pocket. I mean, we feel very good about delivering on the full year numbers.

speaker
Matthew Blackman

All right, great. And if I could get one last one, how much diabetes revenue is going through pharmacy now?

speaker
Jason

We have maintained it at just a touch over 5%. It has grown very slightly against the first quarter. But of course, we are continuing to ramp new markets with new salespeople to sell and distribute in the pharmacy. And so we do expect that number to grow.

speaker
Matthew Blackman

Thanks for all the questions and congrats on a smooth, steady quarter here. Thanks, guys. Thanks,

speaker
Operator

Eric. Our next question will come from Peter Chikaring with Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.

speaker
Peter Chikaring

Hi there. You've got Kieran Ryan on for PETA. Thanks for taking the questions. For thinking about 4Q revenue, usually diabetes is strong due to deductibles being hit and pulled forward from the first quarter. With diabetes pretty much flat here today, do you still assume that seasonality in 4Q? And is there anything that you'd call out that might make that change?

speaker
Jason

Yeah, Kieran, we absolutely expect a big pop, sequentially from Q3 to Q4 from a percentage base. It's pretty similar to what we saw last year.

speaker
Peter Chikaring

Got it. Thanks. And then just a quick follow-up. I was just wondering how we should think on the seasonality of the capitated revenues. I was just a little curious why 2Q was down, just a touch versus 1Q. Thanks a lot. Yeah,

speaker
Jason

sure. You're going to see cap revenue right in that kind of $30 million ballpark, touch arc. Essentially, the cap payment works as the number, the membership number that's set at the beginning of the year through the payers that we're capped with. And then over the course of the year, certainly as there's changes to plan design, there could be life events, people changing employers, things like that. It will bounce around a little bit, but we expect it to be in a very tight band. So up a million, down a million from 1Q to the next is what you should expect going forward.

speaker
Operator

Thank you. And our last question will come from Joanna Gojek with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

speaker
Joanna Gojek

Hi, good morning. Thank you so much for taking the questions here. So on, I guess, respiratory revenue there, it sounds like you've restated some of your numbers here, especially Q1. So I guess when I look at that number, Q over Q revenues up 1%. So yeah, what's driving this change in that revenue versus how you reported in Q1? And also, how do you think about the growth for the year for this service line?

speaker
Jason

Yeah, Joanna, firstly, I would provide a perspective on, I think you said the word restatement. So just to clarify, nothing was restated. We did add disclosure detail in the second quarter to break out the capitated revenue by product line. We thought that made good sense. We've heard some feedback from the street that that would be helpful data. And so we applied for that. And so you can see now, you can look at the data both ways. You can look at it on a pure cap versus rental and sales. You can also look across the product category, regardless of the nature of that revenue, if rental or sales were capitated. And so it's just providing that extra disclosure in the second quarter. Now in terms of growth, I mean, we're thrilled with respiratory. I mean, respiratory continues to outperform. Now, some of that is, you know, Qmana. And, you know, we've just taken on more patients in respiratory as a result of that contract. But most of it is really because of new sales. I mean, our market share data this quarter for the first time shows that we've overcome everybody in market share for respiratory. And so, you know, we're very confident we're taking share across those product categories. That includes oxygen as well as non-adventure ventilation.

speaker
Joanna Gojek

Okay, great. Now this is my follow-up. Okay, so market share gains and Qmana contract is helping you. So I guess on that end, since you mentioned that, that Qmana contract, because I know last quarter, there was some discussion maybe, you know, additional capital contracts. I didn't hear this being, I guess, part of the strategy. So I don't know if this is just kind of there or, you know, should we expect more or less commentary on additional capital contracts?

speaker
Jason

Should we expect additional commentary on capitated? Well, I think that, you know, we've offered that Qmana certainly is the predominance of that capitated revenue. You know, it's 33 states. It's a lot of patients, well over a million patients. You know, for a number of years, we've maintained capitated business with other payers. A lot of that's kind of West Coast focus, as you said. You know, we do maintain a pipeline of incremental cap deals that we're working. But, you know, that's included in guidance and, you know, not really much to discuss until or unless we secure additional cap deals. Does that answer your question? Yeah,

speaker
Joanna Gojek

and I was just thinking about like any additional future contracts, whether this is part of the strategy to trying to get additional ones. I mean, sounds like you've had some, but they were much smaller. So I was wondering whether this is part of the strategy to pursue additional larger capitated contracts.

speaker
Jason

Yes, to reiterate our strategy, we do have dedicated sales folks that are focused on cap deals exclusively. You know, they're specialists in designing pricing, obviously big pricing machine, cap deals. And so that will continue. We do intend to grow our share of cap deals. And, you know, if or when we close deals, we'll be sure to talk about it.

speaker
Joanna Gojek

Great. If I may ask you the very last one on the other business, diabetes and the comment there is around, you know, the channel shifts. And I guess the sales force, but specifically around your ability to participate in the pharmacy channel or, you know, that business going through the pharmacy channel. And do you need more pharmacies? Are you kind of using third parties? How are you kind of handling that, you know, I guess revenue going through the pharmacy channel? Thank you.

speaker
Jason

Yeah, sure. So I'd offer maybe an example to help bring the point home. Louisiana Medicaid was the state office that switched to a 100% pharmacy reimbursement earlier in 2024. You know, we have worked through that. That's a brick and mortar state. So you're required to have brick and mortar pharmacy to distribute. And so we've stood that up. You know, we've got licensing in place. And we're active. We are actively selling and distributing to Louisiana State Medicaid, well, the MTS. And so, you know, that's, you know, one example of the infrastructure that we're continuing to stand up and refine.

speaker
Joanna Gojek

So are you saying that there's actually more that you need, or are you saying that you have, you know, the, I guess, infrastructure in place to service across the country that product through the pharmacy channel?

speaker
Jason

We expect to continue to grow our pharmacy business.

speaker
Joanna Gojek

All right. Thank you so much for the questions.

speaker
Operator

And with no further questions, I'd like to turn the call back to our presenters for any additional or closing remarks.

speaker

Thank you. I just once again want to reiterate our appreciation for the support of ADAPT Health. Hopefully you can see from today's call that we're moving quickly, but methodically, through improving the business and our performance. And we're excited about the future. Thank you all again for joining today. And this will conclude today's conference.

speaker

Thank you for your participation. And you may now disconnect.
