Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 25 | Annual results | Positive | -7.9% | Reported record FY 2025 revenue, earnings and raised 2026 guidance. |
| Nov 05 | Quarterly earnings | Positive | -5.6% | Q3 2025 revenue and EPS growth plus major acquisition and guidance update. |
| Oct 24 | Earnings call notice | Neutral | +0.1% | Announced timing and webcast details for Q3 2025 earnings release. |
| Aug 06 | Quarterly earnings | Positive | +8.4% | Strong Q2 2025 revenue, EPS and adjusted EBITDA growth with guidance raise. |
| Jul 22 | Earnings call notice | Neutral | +3.5% | Scheduled Q2 2025 earnings release and webcast details across platforms. |
Earnings-related news has produced mixed reactions, with several strong fundamental reports followed by both sharp gains and notable selloffs.
Over the past year, Pennant’s earnings releases have consistently highlighted strong growth. Q2 and Q3 2025 showed double-digit revenue gains and rising adjusted EPS, while the FY 2025 report cited record revenue of $947.7M and net income of $29.6M with higher 2026 guidance. Despite these positives, price reactions have sometimes been negative. Today’s Q1 2026 report, with further revenue and EPS growth, continues that expansion narrative from prior quarters.
Historical Comparison
Past earnings-related headlines averaged a -0.31% move. Q1 2026 shows continued growth, so any modest positive reaction would sit slightly above that trend.
Earnings releases progressed from strong Q2 and Q3 2025 growth to record FY 2025 results and now Q1 2026 revenue and EPS expansion, reflecting ongoing scaling of home health, hospice and senior living operations.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +9.8% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with the robust Q1 2026 fundamentals, including revenue of $285.4M, GAAP diluted EPS of $0.24 and adjusted EPS of $0.32. Historically, earnings news has sometimes seen sharp reversals, such as the -7.86% move after FY 2025 results, so sustained strength could depend on how investors weigh ongoing acquisition integration and margin execution.

| (a) | Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations is net income attributable to the Company's reportable segments excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent, unallocated corporate and administrative expenses, and, in order to view the operations’ performance on a comparable basis from period to period, certain adjustments including: (1) activities associated with start-up operations, (2) share-based compensation expense, (3) acquisition related costs, (4) activities associated with transitioning operations, (5) transition services costs, (6) other unusual, non-recurring, or redundant charges, and (7) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. “All Other” consists of revenues generated at operating locations not included in the segment financial information reviewed by the CODM. Revenue included in the “All Other” category is insignificant individually, and therefore does not constitute a reportable segment. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, and are included as “Unallocated corporate expenses”, accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company's segment measures may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. |

| Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
| EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interest (“NCI”), before (a) interest expense, net, (b) 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) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) results related to start-up operations, including rent and excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (e) share-based compensation expense, (f) non-capitalizable acquisition related costs, (g) activities associated with transitioning operations, (h) transition services costs, and (i) other unusual, non-recurring or redundant charges. Adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) results related to start-up operations, (f) non-capitalizable acquisition related costs, (g) activities associated with transitioning operations, (h) transition services costs, (i) unusual, non-recurring or redundant charges, and (j) NCI. 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) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) results related to start-up operations, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition related costs, (h) activities associated with transitioning operations, (i) transition services costs, and (j) other unusual, non-recurring or redundant charges. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI, 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, adjusted EBITDA prior to NCI, 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. |
