CAUTIONARY 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, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report,Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial condition, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.
These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made considering our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. As you read and consider this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to risks that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following risks:
▪ intense competition among home health, hospice and durable medical equipment companies; ▪ our ability to maintain relationships with existing patient referral sources; ▪ the possibility that our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic or variants of the virus; ▪ our ability to have services funded from third-party payers, including Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance companies; ▪ changes to Medicare or Medicaid rates or methods governing Medicare or Medicaid payments, and the implementation of alternative payment models, including but not limited to Medicare Advantage, Managed Care Organization, managed Medicaid, and other forms of managed care; ▪ any downward pressure on reimbursement resulting from further proliferation of Medicare Advantage plans; ▪ our limited ability to control reimbursement rates received for our services; ▪ delays in collection or non-collection of our patient accounts receivable, particularly during the business integration process, or when transitioning between systems associated with clinical data collection and submission, as well as billing and collection systems; ▪ healthcare reform and other regulations; ▪ changes in the case-mix of our patients, as well as payer mix and payment methodologies; ▪ any reduction in net reimbursement if we do not effectively implement value-based care programs; ▪ our ability to attract and retain experienced employees and management personnel, and including both shortages in workforce and inflationary wage pressures; ▪ any failure to maintain the security and functionality of our information systems or to defend against or otherwise prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach; ▪ our substantial indebtedness, which increases our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and may limit our ability to pursue strategic alternatives and react to changes in our business and industry; ▪ our ability to identify, acquire, successfully integrate and obtain financing for strategic and accretive acquisitions; ▪ risks related to legal proceedings, claims and governmental inquiries given that the nature of our business exposes us to various liability claims, which may exceed the level of our insurance coverage; and ▪ the other risks described under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2023.

Additionally, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q might not prove to be accurate and you should not place undue reliance upon them or otherwise rely upon them as predictions of future events. All forward-looking statements made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

3. REVENUE The Company evaluates the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows using the five-step process. The Company uses a portfolio approach to group contracts with similar characteristics and analyze historical cash collection trends.
|

Revenue is primarily derived from (i) pediatric healthcare services provided to patients including private duty nursing and therapy services, andservices; (ii) adult home health and hospice services (“patient(collectively “patient revenue”); and (iii) from the delivery of enteral nutrition and other products to patients (“product revenue”). The services provided by the Company have no fixed duration and can be terminated by the patient or the facility at any time, and therefore, each treatmentservice provided is its own stand-alone contract. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred due to the short-term nature of the contracts.
Services ordered by a healthcare provider in an episode of care are not separately identifiable and therefore have been combined into a single performance obligation for each contract. The Company recognizes revenue as its performance obligations are completed. For patient revenue, the performance obligation is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the healthcare services provided. For product revenue, the performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time uponof delivery of the product to the patient. The Company recognizes patient revenue equally over the number of treatments provided in a single episode of care. Typically, patients and third-party payers are billed within several days of the service being performed, and payments are due based on contract terms.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and by payer within each of the Company’s lines of business. The Company uses a portfolio approach to group contracts with similar characteristics and analyze historical cash collection trends.
The Company’s lines of business are generally classified into the following categories: private duty services; home health and hospice; and medical solutions.
Private Duty Services (“PDS”). The PDS business includes a broad range of pediatric and adult healthcare services including private duty skilled nursing, unskillednon-clinical services which include employer of record support services (“EOR”) and personal care services, pediatric therapy services, rehabilitation services, and nursing services in schools and pediatric day healthcare centers.
Home Health & Hospice (“HHH”). The HHH business provides home health, hospice, and personal care services to predominately elderly patients.
Medical Solutions (“MS”). The MS business includes the delivery of enteral nutrition and other products to patients.

Other Revenue. The Company provides financial management services in order to assist families and patients by coordinating the reimbursement of authorized medical expenses between certain state-contracted non-profit programs and families and patients. Other revenue represents the monthly fee earned by the Company for providing these services.
For the PDS, HHH, and MS businesses, the Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid programs (“Medicaid”); (ii) Managed Care providers of state government Medicaid programs (“Medicaid MCO”); (iii) commercial insurers; (iv) other government programs including Medicare, Tricare and TricareChampVA (“Medicare”); and (v) individual patients. As the period between the time of service and time of payment is typically one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 and did not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component.
The Company determines the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments and discounts provided to third-party payers and implicit price concessions. Contractual adjustments and discounts are based on contractual agreements discount policies and historical experience. For the PDS, HHH, and MS businesses, implicitImplicit price concessions are based on historical collection experience. As of April 3, 20211, 2023 and January 2, 2021,December 31, 2022, estimated explicit and implicit price concessions of $56.3$50.3 million and $55.4$52.6 million, respectively, were recorded as reductions to our patient accounts receivable balances to enable us to record ourarrive at the estimated collectible revenue and patient accounts receivable at the estimated amounts we expected to collect. For the PDS, HHH, and MS businesses, mostreceivable. Most contracts contain variable consideration. However,consideration, however, it is unlikely a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved, and therefore, the Company has included the variable consideration in the estimated transaction price. Subsequent changes resulting from a patient’s ability to pay are recorded as bad debt expense which is included as a component of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did 0tnot record any bad debt expense for the three-month periods ended April 3, 20211, 2023 and March 28, 2020,April 2, 2022, respectively.

5. SECURITIZATION FACILITY
On November 12, 2021, the Company (through a wholly owned special purpose entity, Aveanna SPV I, LLC) (the “special purpose entity”) entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement (as amended, the “Securitization Facility”) with a lending institution with a termination date of November 12, 2024. The maximum amount available under the Securitization Facility is $175.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base requirements. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.4 million in connection with the Securitization Facility, which were capitalized and Januaryincluded in other long-term assets. The Company recognized interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2021.2022, respectively.
Pursuant to two separate sale agreements dated November 12, 2021, each of which is among Aveanna Healthcare, LLC, as initial servicer, certain of the Company's subsidiaries and the special purpose entity, the subsidiaries sold substantially all of their existing and future accounts receivable balances to the special purpose entity. The special purpose entity uses the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans made under the Securitization Facility. The Company retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the Securitization Facility and provides a performance guaranty.
The outstanding balance under the Securitization Facility was $155.0 million and $140.0 million at April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The balance accrues interest at a rate tied to the Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) plus an applicable margin, which can increase or decrease based upon the Company's credit rating. The interest rate under the Securitization Facility was 7.16% at April 1, 2023.
The Securitization Facility is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets; (ii) the accompanying consolidated statements of operations reflect the interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings; and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The Securitization Facility is included within current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as it is collateralized by current patient accounts receivable and not because payments are due within one year of the balance sheet date.

Although substantially all reported claims are paid directly by the Company’s commercial insurance carriers (after the Company satisfies the applicable policy deductible and/or retention), the Company is ultimately responsible for payment of these claims in the event its insurance carriers become insolvent or otherwise do not honor the contractual obligations under the malpractice policies. The Company is required under U.S. GAAP to recognize these estimated liabilities in its consolidated financial statements on a gross basis; with a corresponding receivable from the insurance carriers reflecting the contractual indemnity provided by the carriers under the related malpractice policies.

On December 20, 2019, Aveanna Healthcare LLC terminated the Agreement, and the Seller demanded payment of the Break-up Fee. The Company believes the Agreement was terminated for cause, and therefore 0no payment of the Break-up Fee is due to the Seller. The Seller has disputed this assertion.

On August 6, 2020, the Company is unable to predictsued Epic/Freedom, LLC (“Seller”), Webster Capital Corporation, and Webster Equity Partners (collectively, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated“Defendants”) in the Delaware Superior Court. The Company asserted that the Defendants made fraudulent representations and warranties in connection with the Epic acquisition.

The Company also requested a declaratory judgment holding that the Defendants waived any claim to the Company’s continued possession of $7.1 million in escrow funds (the “Escrow Funds”) that were delivered to the Company in January 2018 by the Epic acquisition escrow agent. In response, the Defendants asserted four counterclaims: (1) specific performance of an alleged right to control a tax audit; (2) advancement of litigation fees and expenses for certain individual Defendants; (3) a declaratory judgment; and (4) breach of contract claim concerning the Escrow Funds. The Company subsequently reached an agreement with the Defendants, which (1) allowed the Defendants to take a principal role in the applicable tax audit, though the Company will continue to communicate with the Internal Revenue Service and retain the ability to make strategic decisions with respect to the audit and (2) dismissed claims against certain individual Defendants mooting Defendants’ claims for advancement of litigation fees and expenses. On March 10, 2023, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement releasing all claims related to this matter and ending all related litigation. The settlement had no material impact on the consolidated results of operations. See Note 15 - Subsequent Event for additional disclosure.
On November 23, 2022, a judgment in the amount of $19.8 million was rendered against the Company related to a civil litigation matter in Texas. In March 2023, the plaintiffs attempted to enforce the judgment by seeking a writ of garnishment, and $18.4 million was garnished from the Company’s cash accounts. The Company promptly obtained and recorded an $18.4 million cash collateralized appellate bond with the state trial court, and such court dissolved the writ of garnishment and ordered the return of the previously garnished funds. All previously garnished funds have been returned to the Company. The Company is vigorously defending this matter, has appealed the judgment to the Texas Court of Appeals, and intends to avail itself of all appellate options.
On January 18, 2023, an arbitration award in the amount of $7.9 million was rendered against the Company related to a claim under the Company's Texas non-subscriber benefit plan.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak has adversely impacted economic activity and conditions worldwide, including workforces, liquidity, capital markets, consumer behavior, supply chains and macroeconomic conditions. After
American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”): On March 11, 2021 President Biden signed ARPA into law. ARPA is a federal stimulus bill designed to aid public health and economic recovery from the declarationCOVID-19 pandemic. ARPA includes $350 billion in emergency funding for state, local, territorial and tribal governments, known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“ARPA Recovery Funds”). States must obligate the ARPA Recovery Funds by December 31, 2024 and spend such funds by December 31, 2026. Usage of a national emergencythe ARPA Recovery Funds is subject to the requirements specified in the United States Treasury Department’s Final Rule issued on March 13, 2020,January 6, 2022.
The Final Rule provides states with substantial flexibility in compliance with stay-at-home and physical distancing orders and other restrictions on movement and economic activity intended to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Company altered numerous clinical, operational, and business processes. While each of the states deemed healthcare services an essential business, allowing the Company to continue to deliver healthcare services to patients, the effects of the pandemic have been wide-reaching.
In response to COVID-19, the U.S. Government enacted the CARES Act on March 27, 2020. The following portions of the CARES Act have impacted the Company:
Provider Relief Fund (“PRF”): Beginning in April 2020, funds were distributed to health care providers who provide or provided diagnoses, testing or care for individuals with possible or actual cases of COVID-19. During fiscal year 2020, the Company received PRF payments totaling $25.1 million, which were included in government stimulus liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2021. On March 5, 2021, the Company repaid these PRF payments in full.
State Sponsoredutilizing ARPA Relief Funds,: In fiscal year 2020, including the Company received $4.8 million of stimulus funds from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (“Pennsylvania DHS”). Such funds were not applied for or requested.The Company did 0t receive stimulus funds from any individual state other than Pennsylvania. The Company recognized $0.5 million of income relatedability to these funds in fiscal year 2020, with the remaining $4.3 million included in government stimulus liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2021. On February 4, 2021, the Company repaid the remaining $4.3 million of direct stimulususe such funds to Pennsylvania DHS.
Deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes: The Company was permittedsupport public health expenditures, such as vaccination programs and testing, and PPE purchases, as well as providing premium pay for essential workers, including those in home-care settings, among other things. States may not use ARPA Recovery Funds to defer payments of the employer portion of social security taxes in fiscal year 2020, which are payable in 50% increments, with the first 50% due by December 31, 2021, and the second 50% due by December 31, 2022. The Company did not defer any payroll taxes after December 31, 2020. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had deferred payment of $49.6 million of social security taxes in total, which is reflected in the current portion of deferred payroll taxes and in the deferred payroll taxes, less current portion liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company did not commence deferrals until April 1, 2020; therefore the Company did not defer any payroll taxes during the three-month period ended March 28, 2020.

These temporaryrateincreasesarepaidto the Company via normalclaimprocessingby therespectivepayers. Over the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and continuing into fiscal year 2021, while some states discontinued the temporary rate increases, most states issued continuations of the temporary rate increases with many state legislatures communicating support for either making such increases permanent or otherwise increasing PDS reimbursement rates.
Medicare Advances: Certain of the home health and hospice companies the Company has acquired received advance payments from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) in April 2020, pursuant to the expansion of the Accelerated Payments Program provided for in the CARES Act. Advances received by the Company as of April 3, 2021 totaled $4.3 million. These advances become payable beginning one year from the date on which the accelerated advance was issued. The repayments occur via offsets by Medicare to current payments otherwise due from Medicare at a rate of 25% for the first eleven months. After the eleven months end, payments will be recouped at a rate of 50% for another six months, after which any remaining balance will become due.
Temporary Suspension of Medicare Sequestration: The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires a mandatory, across the board reduction in federal spending, called a sequestration. Medicare fee-for-service claims with dates of service or dates of discharge on or after April 1, 2013 incur a 2.0% reduction in Medicare payments. All Medicare rate payments and settlements are subject to this mandatory reduction, which will continue to remain in place through at least 2023, unless Congress takes further action. In response to COVID-19, the CARES Act temporarily suspended the automatic 2.0% reduction of Medicare claim reimbursements for the period from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.

Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, outstanding stock options are considered potential dilutive shares of common stock. The following is a computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share (dollar amounts(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In April 2023, as part of options granted, shares of common stocka confidential settlement with Seller and additional paid-in capital accounts onDefendants (each as defined in Note 10), the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, including the notesCompany funded approximately $6.8 million to the consolidated financial statements, have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the stock split and the increase in authorized shares.
Stock Incentive Plan
On April 19, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”). The Amended Plan (i) providesan escrow account for the issuancepurposes of common stock, as opposed to the Class B common stock previously issuable under the plan, to alignsettling certain tax audits with the Company’s AmendedIRS, which are currently under appeal with the IRS. See Note 10 - Commitments and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and (ii) modified the vesting terms of the existing issued performance-vesting options to now vest upon the achievement of volume weighted average price per share hurdlesContingencies for any ninety consecutive days commencing on or after the nine-month anniversary of the initial public offering.additional disclosure.
The issuance of shares of common stock rather than Class B common stock resulted in a modification of the Company’s time-vesting options for accounting purposes; however, the incremental fair value was not material. The amendment of the vesting terms for the performance-vesting options has not yet resulted in a modification for accounting purposes as the Company’s Board of Directors has not specified the volume weighted average price per share.
Initial Public Offering and Use of Proceeds
On May 3, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering and received proceeds, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, of $432.4 million in exchange for the issuance of 38,236,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On May 3, 2021, the Company paid an aggregate principal amount of $307.0 million to repay in full all outstanding obligations under the second lien credit agreement, including the incremental amount borrowed in connection with financing the acquisition of Doctor’s Choice, thereby terminating the second lien credit agreement. In addition, on May 4, 2021, the Company repaid $100.0 million in principal amount of its outstanding indebtedness under the first lien credit agreement.
On May 4, 2021, following completion of the initial public offering and satisfaction of the other applicable conditions precedent, the maximum availability of the Company’s revolving credit facility increased from $75.0 million to $200.0 million. In connection with this increase in capacity, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.3 million, which the Company capitalized and included in other long-term assets during the second fiscal quarter of 2021.
Upon completion of the initial public offering, the Management Agreement was terminated. Additionally, the managers agreed to waive the fee due to them from the Company upon the successful completion of an initial public offering.
The Company granted the underwriters an overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 5,735,400 shares of common stock from the Company at the offering price of $12.00 per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, within 30 days from the date of the Prospectus, dated April 28, 2021. On May 21, 2021, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option to acquire an additional 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Overview
We are a leading, diversified home care platform focused on providing care to medically complex, high-cost patient populations. We directly address the most pressing challenges facing the U.S. healthcare system by providing safe, high-quality care in the home, the lower cost care setting preferred by patients. Our patient-centered care delivery platform is designed to improve the quality of care our patients receive, which allows them to remain in their homes and minimizes the overutilization of high-cost care settings such as hospitals. Our clinical model is led by our caregivers, primarily skilled nurses, who provide specialized care to address the complex needs of each patient we serve across the full range of patient populations: newborns, children, adults and seniors. We have invested significantly in our platform to bring together best-in-class talent at all levels of the organization and support such talent with industry leading training, clinical programs, infrastructure and technology-enabled systems, which are increasingly essential in an evolving healthcare industry. We believe our platform creates sustainable competitive advantages that support our ability to continue driving rapid growth, both organically and through acquisitions, and positions us as the partner of choice for the patients we serve.

PDS Segment
Private Duty Services predominantly includes private duty nursing (“PDN”) services, as well as pediatric therapy services. Our PDN patients typically enter our service as children, as our most significant referral sources for new patients are children’s hospitals. It is common for our PDN patients to stay oncontinue to receive our serviceservices into adulthood, as approximately 50%30% of our PDN patients are over the age of 18.
Our PDN services involve the provision of skilledclinical and unskillednon-clinical hourly care to patients in their homes, which is the preferred setting for patient care. PDN services typically last four to 24 hours a day, provided by our registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, home health aides, and other unskillednon-clinical caregivers who are focused on providing high-quality short-term and long-term clinical care to medically fragile children and adults with a wide variety of serious illnesses and conditions. Patients who typically qualify for our PDN services include those with the following conditions:
• Tracheotomies or ventilator dependence; • Dependence on continuous nutritional feeding through a “G-tube” or “NG-tube”; • Dependence on intravenous nutrition; • Oxygen-dependence in conjunction with other medical needs; and • Complex medical needs such as frequent seizures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Our PDN services include:
• In-home skilled nursing services to medically fragile children and adults; • Nursing services in school settings in which our caregivers accompany patients to school; • Services to patients in our Pediatric Day Healthcare Centers (“PDHC”); and • Non-clinical care, including programs such as employer of record support services and personal care services.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Through our pediatric therapy services, we provide a valuable multidisciplinary approach that we believe serves all of a child’s therapy needs. We provide both in-clinic and home-based therapy services to our patients. Our therapy services include physical, occupational and speech services. We regularly collaborate with physicians and other community healthcare providers, which allows us to provide more comprehensive care. Additionally, our Applied Behavioral Analysis (“ABA”) Therapy services previously provided children with the strategies and skills necessary to maximize their individual potential, achieve meaningful outcomes, and reach their goals to the greatest extent possible. We also provided parents with useful strategies and techniques to support their child’s progress towards meeting developmental milestones in communication and behavior throughout their lifetime. In July 2020, we discontinued providing ABA Therapy services.

Our home health services involve the provision of in-home services to our patients by our clinicians which may include nurses, therapists, social workers and home health aides. Our caregivers work with our patients’ physicians to deliver a personalized plan of care to our patients in their homes. Home healthcare can help our patients recover after a hospitalization or surgery and assist patients in managing chronic illnesses. We also help our patients manage their medications. Through our care, we help our patients recover more fully in the comfort of their own homes, while remaining as independent as possible. Our home health services include: in-home skilled nursing services; physical, occupational and speech therapy; medical social services and aide services.
Our hospice services involveinvolve a supportive philosophy and concept of care for those nearing the end of life. Our hospice care is a positive, empowering form of care designed to provide comfort and support to our patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. The goal of hospice is to neither prolong life nor hasten death, but to help our patients live as dignified and pain-free as possible. Our hospice care is provided by a team of specially trained professionals in a variety of living situations, including at home, at the hospital, a nursing home, or an assisted living facility.
MS Segment
Through our Medical Solutions segment, we offer a comprehensive line of durable medical equipment and enteral nutrition supplies and other products to adults and children, delivered on a periodic or as-needed basis. We provide our patients with access to one of the largest selections of enteral formulas, supplies and pumps in our industry, with more than 300 nutritional formulas available. Our registered nurses, registered dietitians and customer service technicians support our patients 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, in-hospital, at-home, or remotely to help ensure that our patients have the best nutrition assessments, change order reviews and formula selection expertise.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on our Business
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. After the declaration of a national emergency in the United States on March 13, 2020, in compliance with stay-at-home and physical distancing orders and other restrictions on movement and economic activity intended to reduce the spread of COVID-19,Since that time, we altered numerous clinical, operational, and business processes. While each of the states deemed healthcare services an essential business, allowing us to continue to deliver healthcare services to our patients, the effects of the pandemic have been wide-reaching. We have invested in technology and equipment that allows our workforce to provide, on a remote basis, seamless functionality and support to our clinicians who continue to care for our patients. A significant portion of our employees at our corporate support offices in Georgia, Texas and Arizona continue to work remotely at this time. In many cases, we learned that we can effectively conduct our business on a remote basis and have realized a number of efficiencies and benefits as a result.
As our business continues to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 environment, we continue to take precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees and patients in 2021 by purchasing and delivering additional supplies of PPE and other medical supplies to branches and regional offices across the country as necessary. We also continue to provide incremental compensation to our caregivers including COVID-19 relief pay and vaccine pay. Despite the COVID-19 environment, we continue to execute on our strategic business plans to grow our services both organically and through acquisitions.
We continue to monitormonitored the impact of COVID-19 on our caregivers and support personnel, our patients and their families, and our referral sources and continue to adaptsources. We adapted our operations as necessary to best protect our people and serve our patients and our communities. We are optimisticcommunities, and also invested in technology and equipment that asallows support personnel to provide, on a greater percentageremote basis, seamless functionality and support to our clinicians who care for our patients.
With the onset of the U.S. population becomes vaccinated,COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, we began incurring incremental costs of patient services necessary to maintain our volumes will be positively impacted asclinical workforce in the COVID-19 environment, abates. The following factors could potentially alter this outlookincluding costs for additional PPE, hero and negatively impact our recovery from the pandemic: the continued fluctuation in the number ofhazard pay, COVID-19 cases nationwide; any future shelter-in-place orders; the rate of return of confidence in our patients’ families to allow our caregivers into their homes; our abilityrelief pay, incremental overtime, and various incentives to attract and retain qualified caregiverscaregivers. The pandemic impacted our operations in the first quarter of 2022 due to the Omicron variant and the attendant pressures on our clinical workforce. The direct effects on our business of the pandemic have significantly lessened since the first quarter of 2022, as a result of declining infection rates and the normalization of living with COVID-19 concerns; cost normalization around PPE;following the increase in accessibility to COVID-19 vaccines and our ability to readily access referrals from children’s hospitals. Potentialantiviral treatments, as well as the expiration of the Public Health Emergency associated with COVID-19 on May 11, 2023.
Any future resurgence in COVID-19 or new variants of the virus, and the severity and duration thereof, remain uncertain, and potential negative impacts of COVID-19such a resurgence on our results of operations could include, lower revenue, higher salary and wage expenses due to increased market rate expectations of caregivers, and increased PPE supply costs. The impacts to revenue may consist of the following:without limitation: lower volumes due to interruption of the operations of our referral sources and patientsources; lower volumes due to lack of availability of caregivers in the workforce; the unwillingness of patients to accept services in their homes; prolonged school closures;lower revenue or higher salary and lowerwage expense due to increased market rate expectations of caregivers in order to work in hazardous conditions where COVID-19 is prevalent; increased workers compensation insurance and leave costs; increased costs to comply with various federal, state and local vaccine or leave mandates, and any future spikes in PPE supply costs.
American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”)
On March 11, 2021 President Biden signed ARPA into law. ARPA is a federal stimulus bill designed to aid public health and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. ARPA includes $350 billion in emergency funding for state, local, territorial and tribal governments, known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“ARPA Recovery Funds”). States must obligate the ARPA Recovery Funds by December 31, 2024 and spend such funds by December 31, 2026. Usage of the ARPA Recovery Funds is subject to the requirements specified in the United States Treasury Department’s Final Rule issued on January 6, 2022.
The Final Rule provides states with substantial flexibility in utilizing ARPA Relief Funds, including to support public health expenditures, such as vaccination programs and testing, and PPE purchases, as well as providing premium pay for essential workers, including those in home-care settings, among many other things. States may not use ARPA Recovery Funds to fund tax cuts, fund budget deficits, or to support public employee pensions. For the three-month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, we recognized revenue in our consolidated statements of operations of $2.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, from ARPA Recovery Funds from various states. We may receive additional ARPA Recovery Funds in the future; however, we cannot estimate the amount or timing of any future receipts. These funds are not subject to repayment, provided we are able to attest to and comply with any terms and conditions of such funding, as applicable. If we are unable to attest to or comply with current or future terms and conditions, our ability to retain some or all of the ARPA Recovery Funds received may be impacted.
HHS Proposed Rule: “Assuring Access to Medicaid Services”
On April 27, 2023, HHS introduced a proposed rule titled “Assuring Access to Medicaid Services.” The proposed rule has a stated goal of improving access to services for Medicaid beneficiaries. As part of this proposed rule, HHS is proposing that state Medicaid agencies provide assurances that a minimum of 80% of Medicaid payments for personal care and similar services be spent on compensation to direct care workers. The proposed rule would allow states four years to implement changes required by a final rule, with extended time specified for managed care delivery systems. The proposed rule is subject to comment and specifically requests comments on the 80% threshold, related definitions and the implementation period. The ultimate impact of any final rule, which could be adverse for periods after implementation, but could also benefit our business by improving access to services, depends on the requirements set forth in any final rule.

Important Operating Metrics
We review the following important metrics on a segment basis and not on a consolidated basis:
PDS and MS Segment Operating Metrics
Volume
Volume represents PDS hours of care provided and MS unique patients served, which is how we measure the amount of our patient services provided. We review the number of hours of PDS care provided on a weekly basis and the number of MS unique patients served on a weekly basis. We believe volume is an important metric because it helps us understand how the Company is growing in each of these segments through strategic planning and acquisitions. We also use this metric to inform strategic decision making in determining opportunities for growth.
Revenue Rate
For our PDS and MS segments, revenue rate is calculated as revenue divided by PDS hours of care provided or the number of MS unique patients served, respectively. We believe revenue rate is an important metric because it represents the amount of revenue we receive per PDS hour of patient service or per individual MS patient transaction and helps management assess the amount of fees that we are able to bill for our services. Management uses this metric to assess how effectively we optimize reimbursement rates.
Cost of Revenue Rate
For our PDS and MS segments, cost of revenue rate is calculated as cost of revenue divided by PDS hours of care provided or the number of MS unique patients served, respectively. We believe cost of revenue rate is an important metric because it helps us understand the cost per PDS hour of patient service or per individual MS patient transaction. Management uses this metric to understand how effectively we manage labor and product costs.
Spread Rate
For our PDS and MS segments, spread rate represents the difference between the respective revenue rates and cost of revenue rates. Spread rate is an important metric because it helps us better understand the margins being recognized per PDS hour of patient service or per individual MS patient transaction. Management uses this metric to assess how successful we have been in optimizing reimbursement rates, duemanaging labor and product costs, and assessing opportunities for growth.
HHH Segment Operating Metrics
Home Health Total Admissions and Home Health Episodic Admissions
Home health total admissions represents the number of new patients who have begun receiving services. We review the number of home health admissions on a daily basis as we believe it is a leading indicator of our growth. We measure home health admissions by reimbursement structure, separating them into home health episodic admissions and fee-for-service admissions (other admissions), which allows us to any negative impactsbetter understand the payor mix of our home health business.
Home Health Total Episodes
Home health total episodes represents the number of episodic admissions and episodic recertifications to state Medicaid budgetscapture patients who have either started to receive services or have been recertified for another episode of care. Management reviews home health total episodes on a monthly basis as a resultto understand the volume of patients who were authorized to receive care during the month.
Home Health Revenue Per Completed Episode
Home health revenue per completed episode is calculated by dividing total payments received from completed episodes by the number of completed episodes during the period. Episodic payments are determined by multiple factors including type of referral source, patient
20
diagnoses, and utilization. Management tracks home health revenue per completed episode over time to evaluate both the clinical and financial profile of the pandemic.

We have incurred substantial acquisition-related costs and integration costs in fiscal years 2021 and 2020.costs. The underlying acquisition activities take place over a defined timeframe, have distinct project timelines and are incremental to activities and costs that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Therefore, we believe it is important to exclude these costs from our Adjusted EBITDA because it provides management a normalized view of our core, ongoing operations after integrating our acquired companies, which is an important measure in assessing our performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our principal sources of cash have historically been from cash provided by operating activities. Our principal source of liquidity in excess ofaddition to cash fromprovided by operating activities, or when we have used net cash in our operating activities, has historically been from proceeds from our debtcredit facilities and issuances of common stock. Most recently,In August 2022, we raised an aggregatedrew $60.0 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility to replace cash on our balance sheet previously used to complete acquisitions in the fourth quarter of $425.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, in our initial public offering, which closed on May 3, 2021, and an aggregate of $45.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, from the underwriters’ exercise of their overallotment option, which closed on May 25, 2021.
Our principal uses of cash and liquidity have historically been for acquisitions, debt service requirementsinterest and principal payments under our credit facilities, payments under our interest rate derivatives, and financing of working capital. Payment of interest and related fees under our credit facilities is currently the most significant use of our operating cash flow. Our goal is to use cashflow provided by operations primarily as a source of cash to supplement the purchase price for acquisitions.
As permitted by the CARES Act, we deferred payment of $46.8 million of payroll taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in fiscal year 2020, which increased our net cash provided by operating activities and available cash on hand. Certaincompanieswe acquiredin fiscal years 2020 and 2021 had alsodeferredpayrolltaxesof $2.8$4.6 millionin theaggregate in fiscal year 2020.2020. We did not defer any payroll taxes after December 31, 2020. As of April 3,In December 2021, we paid $25.9 million to the IRS, reducing our aggregate deferredpayrolltaxes were$49.6 million. These deferred payroll taxes will require paymentstax liabilities to $25.5 million, which we paid in full to the Internal Revenue ServiceIRS in December 2022.
In connection with the enforcement of 50%a $19.8 million legal judgment, in March 2023, $18.4 million of cash was garnished from the Company’s accounts via a writ of garnishment. In response, we promptly obtained and recorded an $18.4 million cash collateralized appellate bond with the court and filed a motion to dissolve the writ of garnishment and return the previously garnished funds. Subsequently in March 2023, the court dissolved the writ of garnishment and released the $18.4 million of cash back to Aveanna. With respect to the additional $18.4 million of cash collateral posted by us in support of the above-described appellate bond, in March 2023 we substituted $15.0 million of letters of credit for cash collateral previously posted, and we received $15.0 million of cash back in March 2023. The remaining $3.4 million of cash collateral supporting the appellate bond is recorded in other current assets in the accompanying financial statements and reduces cash available to us for general working capital purposes until the appeal process is concluded, which may take up to or more than 24 months. In March 2023, we drew on December 31, 2021our Securitization Facility and 50%Revolving Credit Facility to replace cash originally subject to garnishment and also to fund the appellate bond. We used the aggregate $33.4 million of cash subsequently returned in March 2023 to repay the related amounts previously drawn on December 31, 2022. the Revolving Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.
In response to a $7.9 million arbitration award rendered against us in connection with this civil litigation matter, we expect to fund up to $7.9 million of cash collateral for an appellate bond during our second fiscal quarter of 2023 while this matter is under appeal. This cash collateral will also reduce cash available to us for general working capital purposes until the appeal process is concluded. We intend to use available cash on hand or borrow under our Securitization Facility or Revolving Credit Facility to fund this cash collateral based on circumstances at the time of funding.
In connection with a settlement agreement we entered into in March 2023 with the sellers of Epic/Freedom LLC and other defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”), we funded approximately $6.8 million in April 2023 to an escrow account for the purposes of settling certain tax audits with the IRS, which are currently under appeal with the IRS. At such time as the audits are concluded, these escrowed funds will be used to satisfy any additional amounts due to the IRS or paid to the Seller. To the extent that any additional amounts due to the IRS exceed the escrowed funds, we as the taxpayer, will be required to fund such amounts, but we have contractual rights to reimbursement from the Defendants. We expect these tax matters to conclude in the second half of fiscal year 2023.
28
For additional information with respect to the foregoing litigation matters, please see "Litigation and Other Current Liabilities" set forth in Note 10 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
At April 1, 2023 we had $34.4 million in cash on hand, $20.0 million available to us under our Securitization Facility and approximately $162.0 million of borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. Available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a maintenance leverage covenant that becomes effective if more than 30% of the total commitment is utilized, subject to a $15.0 million carve-out for letters of credit. We believe that borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will decrease in the second fiscal quarter of 2023 due to the impact of the maintenance leverage covenant. We believe that our operating cash flows, available cash on hand, and availability under our credit facilitiesSecuritization Facility and Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors that are difficult to predict, including the size, timing and structure of any future acquisitions, future capital investments and future results of operations. We cannot assure you that cash provided by operating activities or cash and cash equivalents on hand will be sufficient to meet our future needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all.
We evaluate our liquidity based upon the availability we have under our credit facilities in addition to the net cash (used in) or provided by operating, investing and financing activities. Specifically, we review the activity under the revolving credit facility and consider period end balances outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Based upon the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the revolving credit facility, we calculate the availability for borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Such amount, in addition to cash on our balance sheet, is what we consider to be our “Total Liquidity.”
The following table provides a calculation of our Total Liquidity for the three-month periods ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively:

Operating Activities
NetThe primary sources or uses of our operating cash used flow are operating income or operating losses, as well as any other significant non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, and cash paid for interest. The timing of collections of accounts receivable and the payment of accounts payable, other accrued liabilities and accrued payroll can also impact and cause fluctuations in our operatingactivitiesdecreased cash flow.

DSO is derived by dividing our average patient accounts receivable for the fiscal quarterperiod by our average daily revenue excluding other revenue, for the fiscal quarter.period. The collection cycle for our HHH segment is generally longer than that of our PDS segment, primarily due to longer billing cycles for HHH, which is generally billed in thirty day increments.

Our capital expenditures for the first quarter were less than is typical due to the timing of current year expenditures. Our capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2020 included $2.8 million related to our implementation and build-out of our data center, which increased our capital expenditures as compared to the current period.
Indebtedness
We typically incur term loan indebtedness to finance our acquisitions, and we borrow under our revolving credit facilitySecuritization Facility and Revolving Credit Facility from time to time for working capital purposes, as well as to finance acquisitions, as needed.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants and restrictions related to existing loancredit facilities asat April 1, 2023.
On February 9, 2022 we entered into a five-year, $880.0 million notional interest rate cap agreement with a cap rate of 3.0%. The cap agreement expires in February 2027 and provides that the counterparty will pay us the amount by which LIBOR exceeds 3.0% in a given measurement period.
On August 9, 2022, we borrowed $60.0 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility to replace cash on our balance sheet previously used to complete acquisitions in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. On November 16, 2022, we terminated the remaining Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility of $140.0 million.
On March 23, 2023 we amended the agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility to increase the sublimit for letters of credit to $40.0 million from $30.0 million. The other terms of the end of eachRevolving Credit Facility remained unchanged by such amendment.
In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, the regulator of the three-month periods ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020.

Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations consist primarily of long-term debt obligations, interest payments, operating and financing leases. These contractual obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital needs. As of April 3, 2021,1, 2023, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations from those described in our Prospectus.Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have exposure to changing interest rates primarily under the revolving credit facility, our senior secured first lien term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Facility”) and our senior secured second lien term loan facility (the “Second Lien Term Facility”), each of which currently bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR. As of April 3, 2021, the total amount of outstanding variable rate debt was $1.2 billion.
In October 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit exposure to variable rate debt. The agreements expire on October 31, 2023. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company paysNot required for a rate of 3.107%, and receives the one-month LIBOR rate, subject to a 1.0% floor. As of April 3, 2021, the total notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements were $520.0 million.smaller reporting company.
A 1.0% interest rate change for the $682.3 million of unhedged variable rate debt as of April 3, 2021 would cause interest expense to change by approximately $6.8 million annually.
The result of the LIBOR Phaseout may impact our interest rate swap agreements. We continue to monitor developments related to the LIBOR transition and/or identification of an alternative, market-accepted rate. The impact related to any changes cannot be predicted at this time.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, disclosed and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. This information is also accumulated and communicated to our management and Board of Directors to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with
As of the preparationend of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of April 3, 2021,report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rulesin Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act.
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, ouras of the end of such period such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, atsolely as a reasonable assurance levelresult of a previously reported material weakness.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there were no changes to previously issued financial statements, and management did not identify any misstatements in our financial statements as a result of April 3, 2021,this material weakness. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the end of the period covered byinterim unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We have not engaged an independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of ourdeficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, assuch that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of any balance sheet dateour annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the material weakness is due to control deficiencies related to the overall information technology general controls ("ITGCs") for any period reported in our financial statements. Presently, we are a non-accelerated filerboth user access and therefore ourprogram change management is not presently required to perform an annual assessmentfor systems supporting all of the effectiveness of ourCompany's internal control processes and controls, controls over financial reporting. This requirement will applythe completeness and accuracy of information used in conjunction withbusiness process controls and management review controls. Our business process controls (automated and manual), and management review controls were also deemed ineffective because they are adversely impacted by these ineffective ITGCs.
As previously described in Part II Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endingended December 31, 2022.2022, management is in the process of implementing its remediation plan. Our independent registered public accounting firm will first be requiredremediation efforts include: (i) implementation of a new revenue system; (ii) changes to attest toour ITGCs in the effectivenessareas of ouruser access and program change-management for systems supporting all of the Company’s internal control processes to ensure that internal controls are designed and operating effectively; and (iii) training and educating the control owners on ITGC policies concerning the principles and requirements of each control, with a focus on those related to user access and change-management over IT systems impacting financial reportingreporting. We believe that these actions will remediate the foregoing material weakness. The material weakness will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
31
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have beenExcept for the actions intended to remediate the material weakness as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that have occurred during the three-month period ended April 3, 2021,1, 2023, that have materially impacted, or are reasonably likely to materially impact, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, based on an evaluation of our controls and procedures, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of April 3, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
