Key Terms

adjusted ebitda financial
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
diluted eps financial
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) shows how much profit a company makes for each share of stock, assuming all possible shares from stock options or convertible securities are used. It provides a more conservative estimate than basic EPS, accounting for potential share increases that could dilute ownership. Investors use diluted EPS to get a clearer picture of a company's true profitability on a per-share basis.
adjusted eps financial
Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.
return on equity financial
Return on equity shows how effectively a company uses its shareholders' money to generate profit. It is calculated by dividing the company's net profit by its shareholders' equity, indicating how much profit is earned for each dollar invested by owners. Higher return on equity suggests the company is good at turning investments into earnings, which can be an important factor for investors assessing its profitability and efficiency.
credit facility financial
A credit facility is a flexible loan arrangement that allows a borrower to access funds up to a set limit whenever needed, similar to a company having an overdraft option on a bank account. It matters to investors because it indicates how easily a business can secure cash when required, affecting its ability to manage expenses, invest, or respond to financial challenges.
restricted stock units financial
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. (NYSE: GRDN), one of the nation's leading long-term care ("LTC") pharmacy services companies, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. The Company also raised its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

  • Revenue of $397.6 million, up 17% year-over-year with organic growth of 12%.
  • Residents served ended the quarter at approximately 205,000, up 10% year-over-year.
  • Net Income of $21.3 million, up 81% from $11.8 million in the prior-year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $39.5 million, up 53% year over year.
  • Diluted EPS of $0.33 for the quarter, with Adjusted EPS of $0.37.1

Full Year Financial Results

  • Revenue of $1.45 billion, up 18% from $1.23 billion in the prior year period with organic growth of 13%.
  • Net Income (loss) of $49.0 million, compared to ($71.0) million in 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $115.1 million, up 27% compared to $90.8 million year over year.
  • Diluted EPS of $0.78, with Adjusted EPS of $1.071.
  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $65.6 million at year end, up from $4.7 million at the end of 2024.

CEO Commentary

“2025 was a year of broad-based execution and disciplined investment, with results that exceeded our expectations across resident, revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA growth,” said Fred Burke, President and CEO. “These results underscore the scalability of our platform and the dedication of our teams, who continue to deliver high-quality service and meaningful value to the residents and facility partners we serve."

Burke continued, “We exited the year with strong momentum and are accordingly raising our outlook for 2026 Adjusted EBITDA in a measured manner, consistent with our philosophy of guiding to what we can clearly see. A portion of the upside we experienced in the fourth quarter relative to our prior guidance reflects favorable payor dynamics and normal quarter-to-quarter variability, which we have not incorporated into our outlook. We view the underlying run rate of the business exiting 2025 as generating approximately $110 million of Adjusted EBITDA, and are raising our 2026 outlook on that basis. As we enter the first quarter under the initial phase of new IRA drug pricing changes, we are maintaining our 2026 revenue outlook provided in mid-January. We remain confident in the durability of our operating model and our ability to deliver sustained, long-term value for our shareholders.”

Operational and Strategic Highlights

Acquisitions & Greenfields

During the quarter, Guardian acquired North Ridge Pharmacy, located in Missoula, Montana, bringing our full-service pharmacy count to 54.

Vaccine Clinics

Vaccine prescription volumes increased 3% year over year in the fourth quarter, while full-year prescription volumes increased 9%. Importantly, profitability improved compared to the prior year, driven by stronger purchasing, reimbursement, and labor economics as well as solid operational execution. In total, we vaccinated more than 120,000 residents in 2025.

Capital Efficiency and Liquidity

Guardian delivered an annualized return on equity2 of approximately 27% in 2025, reflecting the capital efficiency of the business. The Company ended the year with a strong liquidity position, including $65.6 million of cash and cash equivalents with no long-term debt outstanding under its $75 million credit facility.

____________________________

2 Return on equity is calculated as Net Income of $49.0 million divided by Average Total Equity during the period of $184.0 million. Average Total Equity is calculated based on Total Equity of $150.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and Total Equity of $217.9 million as of December 31, 2025.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties which are subject to change based on various important factors, many of which are beyond our control. Such risks and uncertainties include: our ability to effectively execute our business strategies, implement new initiatives and improve efficiency; our ability to effectively market and sell, customer acceptance of, and competition for, our pharmaceutical and health care services in new and existing markets; our relationships with pharmaceutical wholesalers and key manufacturers, LTCFs and health plan payors; our ability to maintain and expand relationships with LTCF operators on favorable terms; the impact of a national emergency, public health crisis, global pandemic or outbreak of infectious disease on our employees and business and on our supply chain and the LTCFs we serve; continuing government and private efforts to lower pharmaceutical costs, including by limiting pharmacy reimbursements; changes in, and our ability to comply with, healthcare and other applicable laws, regulations or interpretations; further consolidation of managed care organizations and other health plan payors and changes in the terms of our agreements with these parties; our ability to retain members of our senior management team, our local pharmacy management teams and our pharmacy professionals; our exposure to, and the results of, claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries; our ability to maintain the security and integrity of our operating and information technology systems and infrastructure (e.g., against cyber-attacks); product liability, product recall, personal injury or other health and safety issues related to the pharmaceuticals we dispense; the impact of supply chain and other manufacturing disruptions or trade policies related to the pharmaceuticals we dispense; the sufficiency of our sources of liquidity and financial resources to fund our future operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, and our ability to raise additional capital, if needed; the misuse or off-label use, or errors in the dispensing or administration, of the pharmaceuticals we dispense; and volatility of our stock price.

This press release reflects management’s views as of the date hereof. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Guardian undertakes no obligation to update or revise any information contained in this press release beyond the published date, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Additional Information

This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at investors.guardianpharmacy.com and through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the results presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted SG&A, which are financial measures not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude the impact of items and amounts that we view as not indicative of our core operating performance, including share-based compensation, acquisition accounting adjustments, certain legal and regulatory items, financing-related and other activities, payor-reimbursement matters, and certain tax matters related to the Corporate Reorganization and IPO.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income attributable to Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. before share-based compensation expense, certain legal and other regulatory items, financing-related and other activities, payor-reimbursement matters, amortization expense associated with acquisition-related intangible assets, the income tax impact of the adjustments, and certain tax matters related to the Corporate Reorganization and IPO.

We define Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the total weighted average of diluted shares for Class A and Class B common stock.

We define Adjusted SG&A as GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation, expenses relating to certain legal and regulatory items, financing-related and other activities, and payor-reimbursement matters.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted SG&A do not have a definition under GAAP, and our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted SG&A may not be the same as, or comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A to better understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results, as it permits investors to view our core business performance using the same metrics that management uses to evaluate our performance.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A rather than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, including:

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest and income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;
  • Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges and the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
  • Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A do not consider the impact of share-based compensation; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A exclude the impact of certain legal and regulatory items, and payor-reimbursement matters which can affect our current and future cash requirements.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. You should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A alongside other financial measures, including net income, diluted EPS, GAAP selling, general, and administrative expense and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, are set forth below.

Guardian has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to forecasted net income within this release because Guardian is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence due to the variability and complexity of such items. These items include, but are not limited to, income taxes and share-based compensation. These items, which could materially affect the computation of forecasted net income, are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors that are not estimable at this time.

Prior to the Corporate Reorganization and IPO, our share-based compensation expense primarily represented non-cash recognition of changes in the value of Restricted Interest Unit awards, which had historically been recorded as a liability using a cash settlement methodology as calculated on a quarterly basis. In connection with the Corporate Reorganization and IPO, certain Restricted Interest Unit awards were modified, resulting in incremental share-based compensation expense of $125.7 million during the year ended December 31,2024, based on the fair value of the modified awards. Share-based compensation expense subsequent to the Corporate Reorganization and IPO and for the year ended December 31, 2025 relates to equity-classified awards.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS are not presented for the year ended December 31, 2024, as the net income attributable to Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. during that period only includes net income for the period subsequent to our IPO on September 27, 2024. As such, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not meaningful for these periods.
