Operational highlights (all dollar amounts are USD):
- Net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 were $59.1 million, representing an increase of $8.5 million, or 17%, over net revenues reported for the comparable quarter ended March 31, 2024.
- Net income attributable to Viemed for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 totaled $2.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, an increase of 64% over net income attributable to Viemed of $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 totaled $12.8 million, a 26% increase as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. A reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this press release.
- The Company increased its ventilator patient count to 11,809 as of March 31, 2025, an increase of 13% over March 31, 2024, and a slight increase as compared to December 31, 2024.
- The Company increased its PAP therapy patient count to 22,899 as of March 31, 2025, an increase of 46% over March 31, 2024, and a 7% sequential increase from December 31, 2024. The Company's sleep resupply patient count was 22,941 as of March 31, 2025, an increase of 21% over March 31, 2024, and a 6% sequential decrease from December 31, 2024.
- As of March 31, 2025, the Company maintains a strong cash balance of $10.2 million, and an overall working capital balance of $13.6 million. Long-term debt as of March 31, 2025 amounted to $3.5 million and the Company has $55 million available under existing credit facilities.
Updated Full Year 2025 Guidance (all dollar amounts are USD):
- Net revenue for the year ending December 31, 2025 is expected to be in the range of $256 million to $265 million, increased from the prior range of $254 million to $265 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2025 is expected to be in the range of $55 million to $58 million, increased from the prior range of $54 million to $58 million. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below for further information on this non-GAAP financial guidance.
Agreement to Acquire Lehan's Medical Equipment for $26 Million in Third Quarter of 2025 (all dollar amounts are USD):
- As previously disclosed on May 6, 2025, Viemed agreed to acquire Lehan's Medical Equipment, a healthcare company offering home medical equipment with specialties in respiratory care and women's health, for approximately $26 million, subject to customary net working capital adjustments and an estimated $2.2 million of contingent payments. In 2024, Lehan generated net revenues of approximately $25.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $7.4 million.
- Viemed has not included the anticipated impact of this acquisition in its full year 2025 guidance. When the acquisition is completed, subject to customary closing conditions, in the third quarter of 2025, the Company intends to update its full year outlook to incorporate the anticipated contributions from the acquisition.
Casey Hoyt, Viemed's CEO, noted, "We are pleased to see marked improvement in each of our businesses in what has historically been our toughest quarter. The strong, across-the-board start to the year has given us the confidence to tighten our guidance by raising the lower end of our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA ranges. This performance is directly attributable to returns we are already seeing from the structure we put in place in 2024 to improve our sales organization and accelerate the hiring of new reps, as well as the leveraging of investments in technology for greater efficiencies. We are ahead of pace on increasing the sales team and expanding into new territories to fuel organic growth.
"The strong balance sheet continues to facilitate the opportunity we have pursued for the past 12 months to significantly improve and extend the life of our ventilator fleet. This unique opportunity, which we expect to conclude in the first half of this year, has been primarily funded by the existing buyback program from a large supplier. We expect this investment to reap long-term rewards as we grow the business. Our strong capital position and cash flow are also enabling us to layer on inorganic growth such as the acquisition of Lehan's Medical Equipment later this year that is expected to complement the growth we are experiencing in the complex respiratory, sleep and staffing businesses.
"While the macro environment has led to significant volatility in the public markets, we have seen no impact to date to our business from tariffs or a pullback from providers and payers. In fact, our certified Respiratory Therapists and technology-enabled clinical approach continue to earn us a trusted place in the home. Here, our value proposition to patients is greater satisfaction and better outcomes; to hospitals and health systems it's fewer readmissions; and to payers it's a lower total cost of care versus institutional settings. We believe we are perfectly positioned to help improve lives through compassionate care in the home."

Certain statements contained in this press release may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or "forward-looking information" as such term is defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "potential", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", "projects", or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "will", "should", "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including those that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance, including the Company's net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2025, the improvement and extension of the life of the Company's ventilator fleet, and the timing of the closing of the acquisition of Lehan Drugs, Inc. and the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the acquisition, are not historical facts and may be forward-looking statements and may involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the Company's current views and intentions with respect to future events, and current information available to the Company, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements to vary from those described herein should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize. These factors include, without limitation: the general business, market and economic conditions in the regions in which the we operate; significant capital requirements and operating risks that we may be subject to; our ability to implement business strategies and pursue business opportunities; volatility in the market price of our common shares; the state of the capital markets; the availability of funds and resources to pursue operations; inflation; reductions in reimbursement rates and audits of reimbursement claims by various governmental and private payor entities; dependence on few payors; possible new drug discoveries; dependence on key suppliers; granting of permits and licenses in a highly regulated business; competition; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber-attacks) on our information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behavior to which we are exposed; difficulty integrating newly acquired businesses; the impact of new and changes to, or application of, current laws and regulations; the overall difficult litigation and regulatory environment; increased competition; increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by us; and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events or health epidemics or concerns, and claims resulting from such events or concerns, as well as other general economic, market and business conditions; and other factors beyond our control; as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in the Company's disclosure documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, including the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with the securities regulatory authorities in certain provinces of Canada available at www.sedar.com. Should any factor affect the Company in an unexpected manner, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, the actual results or events may differ materially from the results or events predicted. Any such forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Moreover, the Company does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law.
This press release contains non-GAAP financial guidance. There is no reliable or reasonably estimable comparable GAAP measure for the Company's non-GAAP financial guidance because the Company is not able to reliably predict the impact of certain items that typically have one or more of the following characteristics: highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of future operating results. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. The variability of the specified items may have a significant and unpredictable impact on the Company's future GAAP results.
The Company's financial guidance in this press release excludes the impact of potential future strategic acquisitions and any items that have not yet been identified or quantified. This guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties inherent in all forward-looking statements, as outlined above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA", which is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to the Company's operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of the Company's business that is not dependent on the impact of the Company's capitalization structure and items that are not part of the Company's day-to-day operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for the Company's employees, (iii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company's internal annual operating budget, and (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Company's operational strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the Company's operating performance in the same manner as management. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company's financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue or net income, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of ongoing operations; and other companies in the Company's industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, certain items (mostly non-cash) are excluded from net income attributable to Viemed Healthcare, Inc., including depreciation and amortization of capitalized assets, net interest expense (income), stock based compensation, transaction costs, impairment of assets, and taxes.
The following table is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Viemed Healthcare, Inc., the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, on a historical basis for the periods indicated:
