Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. reported solid Q1 2026 growth, with revenue rising to $336.6M from $329.3M, a 2.2% increase. Net income grew to $13.5M from $9.3M, and diluted EPS rose to $0.21 from $0.15, reflecting margin expansion.

Cost of goods sold fell to $260.3M, or 77.3% of revenue, helped by lower product costs under the Inflation Reduction Act, lifting gross profit to $76.3M. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $29.8M, or 8.8% of revenue.

The company ended March 31, 2026 with $64.9M in cash and no borrowings under its $40M credit facility. It also converted 13.5M Class B shares into Class A and executed a Q1 2026 follow-on offering in which 1.02M Class A shares were sold and repurchased for cancellation without changing shares outstanding.

Insights

Q1 2026 shows stronger profitability, modest growth, and solid liquidity.

Guardian Pharmacy Services grew revenue 2.2% to $336.6M, but profit expanded faster. Net income rose to $13.5M, and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $29.8M, driven largely by lower drug acquisition costs and operating leverage.

The Inflation Reduction Act reduced both pricing and product costs. Organic revenue declined, but gross margin improved as cost of goods sold fell to 77.3% of revenue. Residents served increased from 189,000 to 207,000, and prescriptions dispensed rose from 6.7M to 7.4M, supporting long-term volume trends.

Liquidity appears comfortable with $64.9M in cash and an undrawn $40M credit facility. The follow-on offering plus matched share repurchase effectively transferred shares from legacy holders without adding net cash or dilution. An $8.5M settlement signed in April 2026 will benefit future periods rather than this quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income 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"
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.
Inflation Reduction Act regulatory
"In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”), which, among other provisions, introduced significant drug pricing reforms"
The inflation reduction act is a law designed to lower the overall increase in prices for goods and services in an economy, helping to keep the cost of living more stable. For investors, it matters because reducing inflation can lead to a healthier economy, potentially making investments safer and more predictable by preventing prices from rising too quickly.
long-term health care facilities technical
"provides an extensive suite of technology-enabled services designed to help residents of long-term health care facilities (“LTCFs”) adhere to their appropriate drug regimen"
contingent consideration financial
"contingent earnout payments of up to $2,600 if certain revenue and earnings targets are achieved"
Contingent consideration is an additional payment agreed when one company buys another that will be paid later only if specific future targets are met, such as revenue, profit, or regulatory milestones. It matters to investors because it shifts risk between buyer and seller and affects the acquiring company's future cash flow and reported value — like promising a bonus after results are proven.
Secured Overnight Financing Rate financial
"The line of credit under the Credit Facility bears an interest rate equal to the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an additional rate"
A secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) is a daily benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Think of it as the market price to “rent” cash for a day with a very safe pledge, similar to paying a short-term rental fee for money backed by government bonds. Investors track SOFR because it underpins pricing for loans, bonds and derivatives, so movements change borrowing costs, interest income and the valuation of interest-rate–linked positions.
restricted stock units financial
"the Company granted RSU awards to certain executive and management employees of 421,746 units"
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.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than those of historical fact. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions, or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words such as “aims,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “contemplates,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions. 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, some of which are beyond our control. For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties, as well as certain additional risks that we face, refer to “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the factors more fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements are:

 

   

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, long-term health care facilities (“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 capping the prices for certain drugs and 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; and

 

   

the misuse or off-label use, or errors in the dispensing or administration, of the pharmaceuticals we dispense.

New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements or information. Any forward-looking statements only speak as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except for share and per share amounts)
 
1.
Organization and Background
Organization and Business
Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading, highly differentiated pharmacy services company that provides an extensive suite of technology-enabled services designed to help residents of long-term health care facilities (“LTCFs”) adhere to their appropriate drug regimen, which in turn helps reduce the cost of care and improve clinical outcomes. We enter into contracts directly with LTCFs to serve as the principal pharmacy provider for their residents. In this capacity, we offer high-touch, individualized clinical, drug dispensing and administration capabilities that are tailored to serve the needs of residents in historically lower acuity LTCFs, such as assisted living facilities, and behavioral health facilities and group homes. Additionally, our robust suite of capabilities enables us to serve residents in all types of LTCFs. We are a trusted partner to residents, LTCFs and health plan payors because we help reduce errors in drug administration, manage and ensure adherence to drug regimens, and lower overall healthcare costs.
In September 2024, the Company completed a series of corporate reorganization transactions (the “Corporate Reorganization”) and consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”). See the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2026, for additional information regarding the Corporate Reorganization and IPO.
Conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock
In accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, 13,527,437 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted, in accordance with the terms of such class and without any further action by their holders or the Company, into an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.
Follow-On
Offering
In March 2026, the Company completed an underwritten
follow-on
public offering (the “Q1 2026 Offering”) of 1,020,000 shares of Class A common stock at an offering price of $31.00 per share. We used all of the proceeds, net of underwriting discounts of $1,344, from the Q1 2026 Offering to purchase 1,020,000 shares of outstanding Class A common stock that were issued upon conversion of shares of our Class B common stock that were originally issued in connection with our Corporate Reorganization. The 1,020,000 shares of Class A common stock purchased by the Company were cancelled, resulting in no change to the total number of Class A common stock outstanding. We did not retain any of the proceeds from the sale of shares in the offering.
As part of the Q1 2026 Offering, certain selling stockholders, consisting of the Company’s founders, also sold 5,880,000 shares of Class A common stock. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders in this offering.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Results of operations of the Company’s controlled subsidiaries have been included from the date of acquisition.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Certain footnote disclosures have been omitted that would substantially duplicate the disclosures in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, unless information contained in those disclosures materially changed or is required by U.S. GAAP to be included in interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026 have been
 
5

recorded. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026, or any other period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2026.

3.
Acquisitions
The Company’s growth strategy involves periodically acquiring institutional pharmacies servicing LTCFs and their residents as well as residents in other care settings. The Company’s strategy includes the acquisition of freestanding institutional pharmacy businesses as well as other assets, generally less significant in size, which are combined with existing pharmacy operations to augment internal organic growth.
 
6

2025 Acquisitions
In 2025, the Company completed acquisitions of various pharmacy operations (the “2025 Acquisitions”). Total consideration for the 2025 Acquisitions included $13,725 of cash, $125 of deferred inventory payments, 24,075 shares of Class B common stock with a fair value of $441, and contingent earnout payments of up to $2,600 if certain revenue and earnings targets are achieved by certain acquired entities during the first full four quarters subsequent to the acquisition date. The fair value of the shares of Class B common stock issued was determined based on the closing share price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the acquisition date, discounted for a lack of registration, as the Class B common stock remains unregistered. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements at the acquisition dates, at December 31, 2025, and at March 31, 2026 was $2,600. The total purchase consideration for the 2025 Acquisitions was $16,891.
The 2025 Acquisitions included
non-controlling
interests, for which the fair value was estimated to be $3,609. The fair value of the
non-controlling
interests was estimated by utilizing the implied fair value of the
non-controlling
interest, determined based on the acquisition purchase price, and considering discounts necessary due to the lack of marketability and lack of control associated with the
non-controlling
interest. We incurred an immaterial amount of acquisition costs in connection with the 2025 Acquisitions.
The 2025 Acquisitions were treated as purchases in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires recognition of the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction. Our recognition of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on management’s judgment after evaluating several factors, including a valuation assessment. There were no material measurement period adjustments recognized in periods subsequent to the 2025 Acquisitions.
The recognition of the assets and liabilities of the 2025 Ac
quisi
tions as of December 31, 2025 is as follows:

Net assets acquired
     6,444  
  
 
 
 
Goodwill
   $ 10,447  
  
 
 
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in the 2025 Acquisitions. Goodwill represents future economic benefits expected to arise from the Company’s expanded presence in the long-term care pharmacy industry, the assembled workforce acquired, and expected revenue synergies, as well as operating efficiencies and cost savings. Of the $10,447 of goodwill recorded related to the 2025 Acquisitions, $8,136 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Intangible assets are comprised of customer lists and trademarks. The fair values for the customer lists and trademarks were $6,586 and $290, respectively. The weighted average useful lives for the customer lists and trademarks were 10 years and 5 years, respectively.

Consolidated Results of Operations
The results of operations for the 2025 Acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition.
The comparable prior period results of operations associated with the 2025 Acquisitions are not material to the consolidated financial statements, and as such, supplemental pro forma financial information is not presented.
 
4.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:
 
   
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
   
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.
 
   
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of inputs that market participants could use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.
Financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, line of credit, and notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The following table summarizes

aluation of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations arising from acquisitions is based upon Level 3 unobservable inputs including, in part, the estimate of future cash flows based upon the likelihood of achieving the various criteria triggering the payment of the obligations. The fair values of the liabilities associated with contingent consideration obligations were derived using the income approach with unobservable inputs, which included future earnings forecasts for which there is no market data. Fair value measurement using unobservable inputs is inherently uncertain, and a change in significant inputs could result in different fair values. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material gains or losses related to liabilities classified as Level 3 as a result of fair value adjustments. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company may have exposure to loss contingencies arising from pending or threatened litigation for which assessing and estimating the outcomes of these matters involve substantial uncertainties. The Company evaluates contingencies on an ongoing basis and establishes loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Legal expenses include attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses and settlements. The Company recorded legal expenses totaling $506 and $3,583 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.
On April 21, 2026, the Company executed a final mutual release and settlement agreement related to a payor-reimbursement matter. As part of the settlement, the Company received an $8,500 cash payment. The impact of this settlement has not been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share
Basic earnings per share of Class A and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during the period. The Class A and Class B common stock are identical in their rights and privileges, except that shares of Class B common stock are subject to transfer restrictions prior to their conversion into shares of Class A common stock. Therefore, the basic earnings per share for Class A and Class B common stock will be equal. Diluted earnings per share of Class A and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding, adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive elements.

Share-based Compensation
2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan
The Company adopted the Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. 2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2024 Plan”) on September 27, 2024. The initial number of shares of our Class A common stock available for awards under the 2024 Plan (the “Overall Share Limit”) was 2,000,000 shares. The Overall Share Limit is automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in 2025 and ending in 2034, by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 1% of the shares of our common stock (including both Class A common stock and Class B common stock) outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (b) such smaller number of shares as determined by our board of directors. In 2026, the Overall Share Limit was increased by 633,206 shares in accordance with such provision. Such shares may be shares of original issuance or treasury shares or a combination of the two.
2026 Long-Term Incentive Program Awards
On February 11, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2026 long-term incentive program (the “2026 LTIP”), consisting of restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) and
non-qualified
stock options (“Stock Options”), granted under the 2024 Plan.
RSU Awards
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and under the 2026 LTIP, the Company granted RSU awards to certain executive and management employees of 421,746 units. These RSU awards cliff vest three years subsequent to the grant date of each award and upon vesting are settled in shares of Class A common stock.

Stock Options
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and under the 2026 LTIP, the Company granted 525,000 Stock Options to certain executive and management employees. These Stock Option awards cliff vest three years subsequent to the grant date of each award, have a ten year term, and, if exercised, are settled in shares of Class A common stock.
Share-based compensation expense
Share-based compensation expense, recorded to selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, was $3,968 and $1,861 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, unamortized share-based compensation costs related to share-based incentive awards is as follows (in thousands, except for the remaining service period):

8. Segments
General Information
The Company has a
single
operating segment, which was determined based on the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is our Chief Executive Officer, assessing performance and allocating resources on a consolidated basis.
The operating segment derives its revenues primarily through sales of pharmaceutical and medical products. All long-lived assets were held in the United States as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026. All revenues were generated in the United States during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026.
Measure of segment profit or loss and assets
The CODM assesses performance of the operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income, which also is reported on the consolidated statements of operations as net income. In addition to comparing net income against forecasted net income, the CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the operating segment or expansion of the operating segment through acquisitions.
The measure of operating segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.
The accounting policies of the operating segment are the same as those of the Company.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is attributable to U.S federal and state income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and includes the tax effect of items required to be recorded discretely in the interim periods in which those items occur.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026 was $3,833 and $4,749, respectively. This reflects effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026 of 29.2% and 26.0%, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes representing approximately 4.9% and the incremental share-based compensation charge in connection with the Corporate Reorganization and IPO representing approximately 3.1%. These compensation costs are not deductible for federal and state income taxes due to prior Section 83(b) elections.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes representing approximately 4.6%.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

This discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions, that are based on the beliefs of our management. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Guardian,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” when used in this report mean Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. and all subsidiaries included in our consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are a leading, highly differentiated pharmacy services company that provides an extensive suite of technology-enabled services designed to help residents of long-term health care facilities (“LTCFs”) adhere to their appropriate drug regimen, which in turn helps reduce the cost of care and improve clinical outcomes. We enter into contracts directly with LTCFs to serve as the principal pharmacy provider for their residents. In this capacity, we offer high-touch, individualized clinical, drug dispensing and administration capabilities that are tailored to serve the needs of residents in historically lower acuity LTCFs, such as assisted living facilities (“ALFs”) and behavioral health facilities (“BHFs”). Additionally, our robust capabilities enable us to serve residents in all types of LTCFs. Our services include prescription intake and adjudication management, packaging drugs into unit dose and/or multi-dose compliance packaging that are organized by date and time of administration, and electronically tracking each drug from delivery through administration to LTCF residents. We also offer training to caregivers and conduct mock audits to ensure compliance with pharmacy administration requirements, billing claims processing, government regulation and other matters. As of March 31, 2026, our 61 pharmacies, 54 of which are full-service, served approximately 207,000 residents in approximately 8,400 LTCFs across 38 states.

While our national competitors have primarily focused on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), we believe we enjoy a strong competitive position as a large and purpose-built provider of pharmacy services to ALFs and BHFs. More than two-thirds of our annual revenue for each of the past three years has been generated from residents of ALFs and BHFs, while the remainder has been generated primarily from residents of SNFs. LTCF industry trends, including aging demographics, increases in the number of assisted living residents, improving life expectancies and enhanced quality of care, have resulted in ALF and BHF resident populations that require assistance with their increasingly acute and complex healthcare needs. Through our value-added capabilities and local management model, we have been able to pass on to residents, LTCFs and health plan payors the benefits of our scale without compromising on the high-touch, localized customer service traditionally associated with an independent pharmacy. For this reason, we are well positioned to continue to serve ALFs and BHFs, which we believe to be the most attractive and highest growth sector of the LTCF market.

Our core growth strategy focuses on increasing the number of residents we serve through a combination of organic and acquired growth. Acquired growth represents growth in the number of residents served resulting from acquiring an operating pharmacy, which we measure using the number of residents served by the acquired pharmacy as of the acquisition date. Organic growth represents the increase in the number of residents served at existing pharmacies, our greenfield pharmacies, and acquired pharmacies subsequent to the acquisition date. We have generated organic growth through new and expanded LTCF relationships as well as increased resident adoption of our services in the facilities we already serve.

Conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock

In accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, 13,527,437 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted, in accordance with the terms of such class and without any further action by their holders or the Company, into an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Follow-On Offering

In March 2026, the Company completed an underwritten follow-on public offering (the “Q1 2026 Offering”) of 1,020,000 shares of Class A common stock at an offering price of $31.00 per share. We used all of the proceeds, net of underwriting discounts of $1,344 from the Q1 2026 Offering to purchase 1,020,000 shares of outstanding Class A common stock that were issued upon conversion of shares of our Class B common stock that were originally issued in connection with our Corporate Reorganization. The 1,020,000 shares of Class A common stock purchased by the Company were cancelled, resulting in no change to the total number of Class A common stock outstanding. We did not retain any of the proceeds from the sale of shares in the offering.

As part of the Q1 2026 Offering, certain selling stockholders, consisting of the Company’s founders, also sold 5,880,000 shares of Class A common stock. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders in this offering.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the corresponding period in 2025 have been affected by the following, among other factors, which must be understood to assess the comparability of our period-to-period financial performance and condition.

Acquisitions

Our growth strategy involves periodically acquiring institutional pharmacies servicing LTCFs and their residents as well as residents in other care settings. Our strategy includes the acquisition of freestanding institutional pharmacy businesses as well as other assets, generally less significant in size, which are combined with our existing pharmacy operations to augment internal organic growth.

During 2025, we completed acquisitions of various pharmacy operations (the “2025 Acquisitions”). The operating results of the 2025 Acquisitions were a contributing factor in certain changes in the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. Acquisition impacts are considered when the beginning of the comparative period precedes the acquisition date.

Inflation Reduction Act

In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”), which, among other provisions, introduced significant drug pricing reforms aimed to reduce federal government and beneficiary spending for Medicare Part B and Part D drugs. Key provisions in this legislation include limited authority for regulators to negotiate prices for certain Medicare drugs, caps on beneficiary cost share and maximum out-of-pocket spending, and rebates on manufacturers where drug prices exceed inflation. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released initial guidance related to the implementation of this program, and has since entered three rounds of the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. In January 2026, the initial ten Part D drugs that were part of IRA negotiations had their negotiated prices go into effect. The reduction in prices to the IRA-impacted drugs affect the comparability of results, specifically for revenue and cost of goods sold, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which includes the impact of the IRA, when compared against the results of the three months ended March 31, 2025, which does not include the impact of IRA.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues. We recognize revenue at the time of delivery of prescriptions and other pharmacy services to the LTCF, at which time control has been transferred. Revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these goods and services.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of expenses associated with the fulfillment and delivery of the prescription, including prescription drug acquisition costs. Cost of goods sold also includes associated pharmacy personnel-related expenses, including salaries and benefits, delivery charges and other supporting overhead costs (such as rent and depreciation and amortization of assets used in the fulfillment and delivery of the prescription).

Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, salaries and benefits, for our employees at the pharmacies and support services engaged in other pharmacy related activities including sales and marketing, finance, legal, human resources, purchasing and other administrative functions. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also include facilities-related expenses, software expenses, sales and marketing expenses, insurance premiums, professional services expenses, including for outside legal and accounting services, other overhead costs, changes in the fair value of contingent payments related to acquisitions, depreciation related to long lived assets, and amortization of intangible assets.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest on finance leases.

Other expense (income), net. Other expense, net consists primarily of gain (loss) on asset disposals and interest income earned on cash deposits.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

Income tax expense increased by $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the increase in income from operations for the period offset by a lower effective tax rate as a result of a decrease in the incremental share-based compensation charge in connection with the Corporate Reorganization and IPO.

Adjusted EBITDA and Other Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the results presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS, which are financial measures not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income 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, certain legal and regulatory items, financing-related and other activities, and payor-reimbursement matters.

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, and the income tax impact of the adjustments.

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

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

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS to better understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS 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, and Adjusted EPS 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, and Adjusted EPS do not consider the impact of share-based compensation; and

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS 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, and Adjusted EPS 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, and Adjusted EPS alongside other financial measures, including net income, diluted EPS, and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our business and acquisitions primarily through cash from operations and borrowings under our credit facility and, more recently, sales of our Class A common stock in our IPO. We use cash in the ordinary course of our operations primarily for prescription drug acquisition costs, capital expenditures, and personnel costs. As of March 31, 2026, we had $64.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash primarily consists of demand deposits held with a large regional financial institution.

On May 13, 2024, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “2024 Amendment”) to the existing credit facility with Regions Bank (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for term loans (the “Term Loan”) and a line of credit. The 2024 Amendment extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility from April 23, 2025 to April 23, 2027. The line of credit under the Credit Facility bears an interest rate equal to the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an additional rate of 1.80% to 2.80% based on certain financial ratios maintained by the Company. The total amount available under the line of credit as of March 31, 2026 is $40 million and we have the ability to increase our overall Credit Facility up to $75 million.

As of March 31, 2026, we had no amounts of principal outstanding under the Term Loan and no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, expected cash flows provided by our operations, and the amounts available under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future, though we may require additional capital resources in the future.

Net Cash Flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, our net cash flows provided by / (used in) were as follows:

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities consist of our net income principally adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization, provision for losses on accounts receivable, changes in deferred tax asset, and share-based compensation expense. Cash flows used in operating activities consist primarily of changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Income tax payments and receivables are presented as changes in operating assets and liabilities within operating activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased $11.5 million compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable, driven by timing differences in working capital associated with the IRA, offset by an increase in other current liabilities when compared to the corresponding period in 2025.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities consist primarily of proceeds from disposition of property and equipment. Cash flows used in investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures relating to our new and existing pharmacy locations and payments related to acquisitions.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $0.8 million compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in cash paid for purchases of property plant and equipment of $0.8 million compared to the corresponding period in 2025.

Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities consist primarily of sales of our common stock. Cash flows used in financing activities consist primarily of payments of offering costs and principal payments on finance leases.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $0.6 million compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in payments of equity offering costs, partially offset by increased distributions to non-controlling interests.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Preparing our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as related disclosures. Because these estimates and judgments may change from period to period, actual results could differ materially, which may negatively affect our financial condition or results of operations. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other assumptions that we consider reasonable, and we evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis.

See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed for the year ended December 31, 2025, for further discussion of critical accounting estimates. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies with which the estimates are developed since December 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for accounting pronouncements adopted and recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities. We held cash and cash equivalents of $64.9 million as of March 31, 2026, which primarily consist of demand deposits held with financial institutions. Changes in interest rates affect the interest income we earn on our cash and cash equivalents and the fair value of our cash equivalents. Historical fluctuations in interest rates have not had a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations, and a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on the value of our cash and cash equivalents or on our future financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2026.

Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed, and were effective, to provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we and our pharmacies are involved and will continue to be involved in various claims relating to, and arising out of, our business and our operations. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2025, together with all of the information in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
and the other documents that we file with the SEC from time to time, before deciding whether to invest in our Class A common stock. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In that event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2025.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock that were issued in connection with the Corporate Reorganization automatically convert on a
one-for-one
basis into shares of Class A common stock over the
two-year
period following the IPO. Accordingly, on March 28, 2026, 13,521,419 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted, in accordance with the terms of such class and without any further action by their holders or the Company, into an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.
Additionally, on January 30, 2026, 6,018 shares of Class B common stock that were issued as part of consideration for an acquisition completed during the third quarter of 2025 automatically converted into an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.
The 13,527,437 shares of Class A common stock issued upon the above conversions were issued under an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, and no underwriters were involved in these issuances.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer or Affiliated Purchasers
Follow-on
offering
In March 2026, the Company completed an underwritten
follow-on
public offering (the “Q1 2026 Offering”) of 1,020,000 shares of Class A common stock at an offering price of $31.00 per share. We used all of the proceeds, net of underwriting discounts of $1.3 million, from the Q1 2026 Offering to purchase 1,020,000 shares of outstanding Class A common stock that were issued upon conversion of shares of our Class B common stock that were originally issued in connection with our Corporate Reorganization. The purchases were made pursuant to stock purchase agreements at a purchase price per share of $29.6825 (equal to the $31.00 per share offering price in the Q1 2026 Offering, less the underwriting discount of $1.3175 per share). The 1,020,000 shares of Class A common stock purchased by the Company were cancelled, resulting in no change to the total number of Class A common stock outstanding. We did not retain any of the proceeds from the sale of shares in the offering.

FAQ

How did Guardian Pharmacy Services (GRDN) perform financially in Q1 2026?

Guardian Pharmacy Services grew Q1 2026 revenue to $336.6 million, up 2.2% year over year. Net income increased to $13.5 million from $9.3 million, and diluted EPS rose to $0.21 from $0.15, reflecting stronger margins and operating leverage.

How did the Inflation Reduction Act affect GRDN’s Q1 2026 results?

The Inflation Reduction Act reduced pricing on certain Medicare Part D drugs, lowering GRDN’s organic revenue but also its product costs. As a result, cost of goods sold fell to 77.3% of revenue, and gross profit increased to $76.3 million, improving overall profitability.

What were Guardian Pharmacy’s key non-GAAP metrics in Q1 2026?

GRDN reported Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $29.8 million, up from $23.4 million, representing 8.8% of revenue. Adjusted net income was $18.4 million, and Adjusted EPS was $0.29, after adding back items like share-based compensation and acquisition-related amortization.

What is Guardian Pharmacy Services’ liquidity and debt position as of March 31, 2026?

As of March 31, 2026, GRDN held $64.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and had no borrowings under its $40 million revolving credit facility. The facility matures in April 2027 and can be increased to $75 million under certain conditions.

What happened in GRDN’s Q1 2026 follow-on offering and share repurchase?

In March 2026, GRDN sold 1,020,000 Class A shares at $31.00 each and used all net proceeds to repurchase the same number of newly converted shares at $29.6825. Those shares were cancelled, so total Class A shares outstanding did not change and the company retained no proceeds.

How is Guardian Pharmacy Services growing its customer base?

GRDN combines organic and acquisition-driven growth. In Q1 2026, residents served increased to about 207,000 across roughly 8,400 long-term care facilities, and prescriptions dispensed grew to 7.4 million, with 2025 acquisitions contributing alongside expanded relationships at existing pharmacies.
