“We are pleased with our strong finish to 2023 and continued momentum as we enter 2024,” said Brent Guerisoli, Pennant’s Chief Executive Officer. “By executing on our five key focus areas--leadership development, clinical excellence, employee engagement, margin improvement, and growth--we made steady gains throughout 2023 and solidly delivered on earnings expectations, even after increasing guidance during the year. With a talented group of leaders and teams in operations throughout our footprint and compelling growth opportunities available to us, we are excited to accelerate our performance in 2024.”
Lynette Walbom, Pennant’s Chief Financial Officer, commented on the Company’s balance sheet and strong cash flow: “Our operations produced $33.1 million of cash through the fourth quarter, which positions us well to respond to growth opportunities in 2024 and beyond.” She noted that the Company had $6.1 million of cash on hand and $80.8 million available on its revolving line of credit, with a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.44x and a lease-adjusted net debt-to-adjusted EBITDAR ratio of 4.75x.
A discussion of the Company's use of Non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share, net income to adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net income, appear in the financial data portion of this release. More complete information is contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which has been filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the Company’s website at www.pennantgroup.com.
2024 Guidance
Management is providing 2024 annual guidance as follows: total revenue is anticipated to be between $596.8 million and $633.7 million; adjusted earnings per diluted share is anticipated to be between $0.82 and $0.91; and adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be between $46.2 million and $49.7 million.
Mr. Guerisoli remarked, “Our earnings guidance midpoint of $0.87 represents 19.2% growth on our 2023 adjusted earnings per share and 52.6% growth over our 2022 results. This demonstrates, and is based on, the compelling momentum in both our segments, the readiness of our local leaders to drive organic and inorganic growth, and the latent potential that remains in our existing operations.”
The Company does not provide quarterly earnings guidance. Consistent with the Company’s historical patterns, Management anticipates that total revenue, adjusted earnings per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA will increase each quarter throughout the year, creating a ramp rather than a uniform distribution over the course of 2024.
The Company’s 2024 annual guidance is based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 30.4 million and a 26.0% effective tax rate. The guidance assumes, among other things, reimbursement rate adjustments and no unannounced acquisitions. It excludes the tax-effected costs at start-up operations, share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and loss on disposition of assets and impairments. The guidance includes anticipated revenues from the Muir Home Health joint venture which commenced January 1, 2024, but, consistent with the start-up nature of the venture, assumes no earnings contributions in 2024.
Ms. Walbom stated, “We believe providing annual adjusted consolidated EBITDA guidance in addition to annual revenue and adjusted earnings per share guidance is helpful in understanding our expectations for our business and operational cash flow. This updated guidance reflects management’s expectations based on 2023 performance and current operating conditions.”

(f) This measure is a valuation measure and is displayed thusly, it is not a performance measure as it excludes rent expense, which is a normal and recurring operating expense and, as such, does not reflect our cash requirements for leasing commitments. Our presentation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as a financial performance measure. The following table present certain financial information regarding our reportable segments.

General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, and are included as “All Other”, accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses.

EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) (benefits) provisions for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net (b) (benefits) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) costs incurred for start-up operations, including rent and excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (e) share-based compensation expense, (f) non-capitalizable acquisition related costs and credit allowances, (g) net costs associated with transitioning operations, (h) unusual, non-recurring or redundant charges and (i) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure applicable to current periods only and consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net, (b) (benefits) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) costs incurred for start-up operations, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition related costs and credit allowances, (h) redundant or non-recurring transition services costs, (i) costs associated with transitioning operations, (j) unusual, non-recurring or redundant charges and (j) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance. The company believes disclosure of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and consolidated adjusted EBITDAR has economic substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The company’s periodic filings are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or under the "Financial Information" link of the Investor Relations section on Pennant’s website at http://www.pennantgroup.com.
