NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share data and operational senior living units)


1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Pennant Group, Inc. (herein referred to as “Pennant,” the “Company,” “it,” or “its”), is a holding company with no direct operating assets, employees or revenue. The Company, through its independent operating subsidiaries, provides healthcare services across the post-acute care continuum. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s subsidiaries operated 7286 home health, hospice and home care agencies and 54 senior living communities located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

On October 1, 2019, The Ensign Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENSG) (“Ensign” or the “Parent”) completed the separation of Pennant (the “Spin-Off”). To accomplish the Spin-Off, Ensign contributed all of its home health and hospice and substantially all of its senior living businesses into Pennant. Each Ensign stockholder received a distribution of one share of Pennant’s common stock for every two shares of Ensign’s common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The noncontrolling interest was converted into shares of Pennant at the established conversion ratio. As a result of the Spin-Off on October 1, 2019, Pennant began trading as an independent company on the NASDAQ under the symbol “PNTG.”
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the Service Center, provide accounting, payroll, human resources, information technology, legal, risk management, and other services to the operations through contractual relationships.
Each of the Company’s affiliated operations are operated by separate, independent subsidiaries that have their own management, employees and assets. References herein to the consolidated “Company” and “its” assets and activities is not meant to imply, nor should it be construed as meaning, that Pennant has direct operating assets, employees or revenue, or that any of the subsidiaries are operated by Pennant.

through the end of 2020, with 50% due on December 31, 2021 and the remainder due on December 31, 2022. For the nine months ended SeptemberAs of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company deferred approximately $5,327$7,836 of the employer-paid portion of social security taxes, of which $3,918 is included in other long-term liabilities and the current portion of $3,918 in accrued wages and related liabilities. The CARES Act also expanded the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) ability to provide accelerated/advance payments intended to increase the cash flow of healthcare providers and suppliers impacted by COVID-19. During the prior year, the Company applied for and received $27,997 in funds under the Accelerated and Advance Payment (“AAP”) Program, of which $7,096 had been recouped as of June 30, 2021. See Note 10, Other long-term liabilities.Accrued Liabilities for further discussion of the AAP.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “ARP Act”) was enacted on March 11, 2021 in the United States. The ARP Act was designed to assist the country with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and included a number of tax components. The ARP Act’s primary tax impact on the Company is a new revenue raising provision that requires the Company to include the next five highest paid employees to the list of covered officers already subject to the IRC Section 162(m) wage limitation beginning in the 2027 tax year. The Company will continue to assess the effect of the CARESARP Act and ongoing other government legislation related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may be issued.

Prior to Spin Off - Prior to the Spin-Off, the combined financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Ensign. The Interim Financial Statements include allocations of costs for certain shared services provided to the Company by Ensign subsidiaries prior to the Spin-Off on October 1, 2019. Such allocations include, but are not limited to, executive management, accounting, human resources, information technology, compliance, legal, payroll, insurance, tax, treasury, and other general and administrative items. These costs were allocated to the Company on a basis of revenue, location, employee count, or other measures. These cost allocations are reflected within general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of income, including for share-based compensation expenses disclosed in Note 12,Options and Awards. The amount of general and administrative costs allocated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, inclusive of share-based compensation expense, was $8,577 and $23,710, respectively. Management believes the basis on which the expenses were allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the services provided to the Company during the periods.

Ensign’s external debt and related interest expense were not allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented prior to the Spin-Off as no portion of Ensign’s borrowings were assumed by the Company as part of the Spin-Off.

Prior to the date of the Spin-off, the Company’s operations have been included in Ensign’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns and all income taxes have been paid by subsidiaries of Ensign. Income tax expense and other income tax related information contained in these Interim Financial Statements for the periods prior to the Spin-Off were presented using a separate tax return approach.

Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company presented the noncontrolling interest and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the Company in the Interim Financial Statements. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was adjusted by an allocation of subsidiary earnings based on ownership interest prior to the Spin-Off. The noncontrolling subsidiary interest included in the Interim Financial Statements was converted into common shares of Pennant concurrent with the distribution to Ensign stockholders at the date of the Spin-Off. For all prior periods presented prior to the Spin-Off, the earnings per share included on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income was calculated based on the 27,834 shares of Pennant common stock distributed on October 1, 2019 in conjunction with the Spin-Off, including shares related to the conversion of the noncontrolling interest.

5. REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Revenue is recognized when services are provided to the patients at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled from patients and third-party payors, including Medicaid, Medicare and insurers (private, Medicare Advantage and Medicare replacement plans), in exchange for providing patient care. The healthcare services in home health and hospice patient contracts include routine services in exchange for a contractual agreed-upon amount or rate. Routine services are treated as a single performance obligation satisfied over time as services are rendered. As such, patient care services represent a bundle of services that are not capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. Additionally, there may be ancillary services which are not included in the rates for routine services, but instead are treated as separate performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, if and when those services are rendered.

Revenue recognized from healthcare services are adjusted for estimates of variable consideration to arrive at the transaction price. The Company determines the transaction price based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rate, adjusted for estimates of variable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method in determining the variable component that should be used to arrive at the transaction price, using contractual agreements and historical reimbursement experience within each payor type. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. If actual amounts of consideration ultimately received differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net service revenue in the period such variances become known.

Consistent with healthcare industry accounting practices, any changes to these governmental revenue estimates are recorded in the period the change or adjustment becomes known based on final settlement.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with its patients by reportable operating segments and payors. The Company has determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objectives to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The Company’s service specific revenue recognition policies are as follows:

Home Health Revenue

Medicare Revenue

For Medicare episodes that began after January 1, 2020, net service revenue is recognized in accordance with the Patient Driven Groupings Model (“PDGM”). This new reimbursement structure involves case mix calculation methodology refinements, changes to low-utilization payment adjustment (“LUPA”) thresholds, the elimination of therapy thresholds, a change to the unit of payment from a 60-day episode to a 30-day payment period, and reduction of requests for anticipated payments (“RAPs”) to 20% of the estimated payment for a patient’s initial or subsequent period of care up-front (after the initial assessment is completed and upon initial billing). The RAPs will be completelywere phased out effective January 1, 2021. Under PDGM, Medicare provides agencies with payments for each 30-day payment period provided to beneficiaries. If a beneficiary is still eligible for care after the end of the first 30-day payment period, a second 30-day payment period can begin. There are no limits to the number of periods of care a beneficiary who remains eligible for the home health benefit can receive. While payment for each 30-day payment period is adjusted to reflect the beneficiary’s health condition and needs, a special outlier provision exists to ensure appropriate payment for those beneficiaries that have the most expensive care needs. The payment under the Medicare program is also adjusted for certain variables including, but not limited to: (a) a LUPA if the number of visits is below an established threshold that varies based on the diagnosis of a beneficiary; (b) a partial payment if the patient transferred to another provider or the Company received a patient from another provider before completing the period of care; (c) adjustment to the admission source of claim if it is determined that the patient had a qualifying stay in a post-acute care setting within 14 days prior to the start of a 30-day payment period; (d) the timing of the 30-day payment period provided to a patient in relation to the admission date, regardless of whether the same home health provider provided care for the entire series of episodes; (e) changes to the acuity of the patient during the previous 30-day payment period; (f) changes in the base payments established by the Medicare program; (g) adjustments to the base payments for case mix and geographic wages; and (h) recoveries of overpayments.

For all episodes that began prior to January 1, 2020, net service revenue was recorded under the Medicare prospective payment system based on a 60-day episode payment rate that is subject to adjustment based on certain variables including, but not limited to: (a) an outlier payment if the patient’s care was unusually costly; (b) a LUPA if the number of visits was fewer than five; (c) a partial payment if the patient transferred to another provider or transferred from another provider before completing the episode; (d) a payment adjustment based upon the level of covered therapy services; (e) the number of episodes of care provided to a patient, regardless of whether the same home health provider provided care for the entire series of episodes; (f) changes in the base episode payments established by the Medicare program; (g) adjustments to the base episode payments for case mix and geographic wages; and (h) recoveries of overpayments.

The Company adjusts Medicare revenue on completed episodes to reflect differences between estimated and actual payment amounts, an inability to obtain appropriate billing documentation and other reasons unrelated to credit risk. Therefore, the Company believes that its reported net service revenue and patient accounts receivable will be the net amounts to be realized from Medicare for services rendered.

In addition to revenue recognized on completed episodes and periods, the Company also recognizes a portion of revenue associated with episodes and periods in progress. Episodes in progress are 30-day payment periods, if the episode started after January 1, 2020, or 60-day episodes of care, if the episode started prior to January 1, 2020, that begin during the reporting period but were not completed as of the end of the period. As such, the Company estimates revenue and recognizes it

on a daily basis. The primary factors underlying this estimate are the number of episodes in progress at the end of the reporting period, expected Medicare revenue per period of care or episode of care and the Company’s estimate of the average percentage complete based on the scheduled end of period and end of episode dates.

Non-Medicare Revenue

Episodic Based Revenue - The Company recognizes revenue in a similar manner as it recognizes Medicare revenue for episodic-based rates that are paid by other insurance carriers, including Medicare Advantage programs. These rates can vary based upon the negotiated terms.

Non-episodic Based Revenue - Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis based upon the date of service at amounts equal to its established or estimated per visit rates, as applicable.

Hospice Revenue

Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis based upon the date of service at amounts equal to the estimated payment rates. The estimated payment rates are calculated as daily rates for each of the levels of care the Company delivers. Revenue is adjusted for an inability to obtain appropriate billing documentation or authorizations acceptable to the payor and other reasons unrelated to credit risk. Additionally, as Medicare hospice revenue is subject to an inpatient cap and an overall payment cap, the Company monitors its provider numbers and estimates amounts due back to Medicare if a cap has been exceeded. The Company regularly evaluates and records these adjustments as a reduction to revenue and an increase to other accrued liabilities.

Senior Living Revenue

The Company has elected the lessor practical expedient within ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) and therefore recognizes, measures, presents, and discloses the revenue for services rendered under the Company’s senior living residency agreements based upon the predominant component, either the lease or non-lease component, of the contracts. The Company has determined that the services included under the Company’s senior living residency agreements each have the same timing and pattern of transfer. The Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers for its senior residency agreements, for which it has determined that the non-lease components of such residency agreements are the predominant component of each such contract.

The Company’s senior living revenue consists of fees for basic housing and assisted living care. Accordingly, the Company records revenue when services are rendered on the date services are provided at amounts billable to individual residents. Residency agreements are generally for a term of 30 days, with resident fees billed monthly in advance. For residents under reimbursement arrangements with Medicaid, revenue is recorded based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates on a per resident, daily basis or as services are rendered.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

As the Company’s contracts have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient applicable to its contracts and does not consider the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue. In addition, the Company has applied the practical expedient provided by ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs (“ASC 340”), and all incremental customer contract acquisition costs are expensed as they are incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.

6. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company classifies its operations into the following reportable operating segments: (1) home health and hospice services, which includes the Company’s home health, hospice and home care businesses; and (2) senior living services, which includes the operation of assisted living, independent living and memory care communities. The reporting segments are business units that offer different services and are managed separately to provide greater visibility into those operations. Our Chief Executive Officer, and President, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information at the operating segment level. We also report an “all other” category that includes general and administrative expense from our Service Center.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company provided services through 7286 affiliated home health, hospice and home care agencies, and 54 affiliated senior living operations. The Company evaluates performance and allocates capital resources to each segment based on an operating model that is designed to maximize the quality of care provided and profitability. The Company’s Service Center provides various services to all lines of business. The Company does not review assets by segment and therefore assets by segment are not disclosed below.

The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations as the primary measure of profit and loss for the Company's reportable segments and to compare the performance of its operations with those of its competitors. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations is net income (loss) attributable to the Company's reportable segments excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent, and, in order to view the operations performance on a comparable basis from period to period, certain adjustments including: (1) costs at start-up operations, (2) share-based compensation, (3) acquisition related costs, (4) Spin-Off transaction costs, (5) redundant and nonrecurring costs associated with the transition services agreement, (6)Transition Services Agreement, and (5) net incomeloss attributable to noncontrolling interest, and (7) net COVID-19 related costs.interest. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, and are included as “All Other”, accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company's segment measures may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Unaudited Pro Forma Data

The Company’s acquisition strategy has been focused on identifying both opportunistic and strategic acquisitions within its target markets that offer strong opportunities for return. The operating subsidiaries acquired by the Company are frequently underperforming financially and can have regulatory and clinical challenges to overcome. From time to time, these acquisitions are more strategic in nature that may or may not have positive operational results. Financial information, especially with underperforming operating subsidiaries, is often inadequate, inaccurate or unavailable. Consequently, the Company believes that prior operating results are not a meaningful representation of the Company’s current operating results or indicative of the integration potential of its newly acquired operating subsidiaries. Revenue and income (loss) before tax included in the condensed consolidated statement of income relating to the business combinations was $3,849 and $(106) during the three months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $5,647 and $235 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Acquisition costs related to the business combinations were immaterial during the three and nine months ended

Along with the assets contributed by local Pennant-affiliated home health and hospice agencies, the Company paid Scripps $6,200 for a majority interest in the joint venture. Additionally, the Company closed on the acquisitions of 1 home health agency in Oregon and 1 hospice agency in Nevada. The combined purchase price of the home health and hospice agencies was $13,900.

The Company was awarded a Certificate of Need by the State of Washington to establish a new hospice program in Snohomish County, which will supplement its current home health services in the area.

We considered the economic disruption and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent volatility in stock prices. The Company concluded that the current economic and business conditions did not result in a triggering event requiring a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis. No goodwill or intangible asset impairments were recorded during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

Refunds payable includes payables related to overpayments, duplicate payments and credit balances from various payor sources. Deferred revenue occurs when the Company receives payments in advance of services provided. Resident deposits include refundable deposits to residents and a small portion consists of non-refundable deposits recognized into revenue over a period of time. The CARES Act also expanded the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) ability of CMS to provide accelerated/accelerated or advance payments intended to increase the cash flow of healthcare providers and suppliers impacted by COVID-19. During the second quarterprior year the Company applied for and received $27,997 in funds under the Accelerated and Advance Payment (“AAP”)AAP Program. As originally structured, advance payments made under the AAP would have been recouped by offsetting 100% of the recipient’s Medicare claim payments beginning 120 days after the advance payment was made, with interest beginning to accrue as soon as 210 days after the date of the advance at a rate of 10.25%. On October 1, 2020, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act (the “CA Act”) was signed into law. Among other things, the CACARES Act significantly changed the repayment terms for AAP. These funds are subject toIn April 2021 CMS began automatic recoupment of these amounts through offsets to new claims beginning one year after funds were issued beginning in April 2021, at which time,claims. Medicare will automatically recoup 25 percent of Medicare payments for 11 months. At the end of the 11 months and assuming full repayment has not occurred, recoupment will increase to 50 percent for another six months. Any balance outstanding after these two recoupment periods will be subject to repayment at a four percent interest rate. As of June 30, 2021, CMS had recouped $7,096 of the AAP. The Company anticipates completing repayment of the AAP within the allotted recoupment periods. As a result of the recoupment guidance, the Company reclassified $13,612 of the AAP to long-term liabilities in October 2020.

The fair value of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility approximates carrying value, due to the short-term nature and variable interest rates. The fair value of this debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observable market borrowing rates.

The Credit Agreement is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company’s wholly ownedindependent operating subsidiaries, and is secured by a pledge of stock of the Company's material independent operating subsidiaries as well as a first lien on substantially all of each material operating subsidiary's personal property. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and its independent operating subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, amend certain material agreements and pay certain dividends and other restricted payments. Financial covenants require compliance with certain levels of leverage ratios that impact the amount of interest. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company was compliant with all such financial covenants.

12. OPTIONS AND AWARDS

For all periods prior to the Spin-Off, employees of the Company participated in Ensign's stock-based compensation plans. The compensation expense recorded by the Company included the expense associated with these employees, as well as an allocation of stock-based compensation of certain Ensign employees who provided general and administrative services on behalf of the Company.

Outstanding options held by employees of the Company under the Ensign stock plans (collectively the “Ensign Plans”) and outstanding options and restricted stock awards under the Company Subsidiary Equity Plan (together with the Ensign Plans the “Pre-Spin Plans”) were modified and replaced with Pennant awards under the Pennant Plans at the Spin-Off date. Additionally, in connection with the Spin-Off, the Company issued new options and restricted stock awards to Pennant and Ensign employees under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the OIP) and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP”, together referred to as the “Pennant Plans”).

Under the Ensign Plans and the Pennant Plans, stock-based payment awards, including employee stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSA”), and restricted stock units (“RSU” and together with RSA, “Restricted Stock”) are issued based on estimated fair value. The following disclosures represent share-based compensation expense relating to the Ensign and Pennant Plans, including awards to employees of the Company’s subsidiaries an allocation of costs from employees inand non-employee directors who have awards under the Service Center prior to the Spin-Off,Ensign and total share-based compensation after the Spin-Off.Pennant Plans.

value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires considerable judgment, including estimating stock price volatility and expected option life. The Company develops estimates based on historical data and market information, which can change significantly over time.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for stock options granted after the Spin-Off:granted:

(a)Under the midpoint method, the expected option life is the midpoint between the contractual option life and the average vesting period for the options being granted. This resulted in an expected option life of 6.5 years for the options granted.
(b)Because the Company’s equity shares have been traded for a relatively short period of time, expected volatility assumption was based on the volatility of related industry stocks.

13. LEASES
The Company’s independent operating subsidiaries lease 54 senior living communities and its administrative offices under non-cancelable operating leases, most of which have initial lease terms ranging from five to 21 years. Most of these leases contain renewal options, most involve rent increases and none contain purchase options. The lease term excludes lease renewals because the renewal rents are not at a bargain, there are no economic penalties for the Company to renew the lease, and it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the extension options. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s independent operating subsidiaries leased 31 communities from subsidiaries of Ensign (the “Ensign Leases”) under a master lease arrangement. The existing leases with subsidiaries of Ensign are generally for initial terms of between 14 to 20 years. In addition to rent, each of the operating companies are required to pay the following: (1) all impositions and taxes levied on or with respect to the leased properties (other than taxes on the income of the lessor); (2) all utilities and other services necessary
18

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties; (3) all insurance required in connection with the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties; (4) all community maintenance and repair costs; and (5) all fees in connection with any licenses or authorizations necessary or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties.

NaN of the Company’s affiliated senior living communities, excluding the communities that are operated under the Ensign Leases (as defined herein), are operated under 2 separate master lease arrangements. Under these master leases, a breach at a single community could subject one or more of the other communities covered by the same master lease to the same default risk. Failure to comply with Medicare and Medicaid provider requirements is a default under several of the Company’s leases and master leases. With an indivisible lease, it is difficult to restructure the composition of the portfolio or economic terms of the master lease without the consent of the landlord.

Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at each lease’s commencement date to determine each lease's operating lease liability. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the weighted average remaining lease term is 15.214.5 years and the weighted average discount rate is 8.1%8.2%.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

On October 5, 2020, the Company amended a lease included in the portfolio of Ensign Leases. The amendment modified the lease agreement to extend the initial term five years. In accordance with Topic 842, the amended lease agreement is considered modified and subject to lease modification guidance. The right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liabilities related to the agreement were remeasured based on the change in the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate was also adjusted to mirror the revised lease term which become effective at the date of the modification. The impact of the modification was an increase of $1,079 to the ROU asset and lease liability.

14. INCOME TAXES
Prior to the date of the Spin-Off, the Company's operations were included in Ensign’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns and all income taxes were paid by Ensign. Additionally, prior to the date of the Spin-Off, income tax expense and other income tax related information contained in the Interim Financial Statements were presented on a separate tax return approach.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $104$604 and $2,430 for the three$944 or 19.7% and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and income tax expense of $123 and $91 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, or 2.3% and 17.2%21.8% of earnings before income taxes for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, respectively compared to 6.4% and 1.3%income tax expense of $1,437 and $2,326 or 24.9% and 24.1% of earnings before income taxes for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, respectively. The effective tax rate for both three-three and nine-monthsix month periods includes excess tax benefits from stock-basedshare-based compensation which were offset by non-deductible expenses including non-deductible compensation.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Regulatory Matters - The Company provides services in complex and highly regulated industries. The Company’s compliance with applicable U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations governing these industries may be subject to governmental review and adverse findings may result in significant regulatory action, which could include sanctions, damages, fines, penalties (many of which may not be covered by insurance), and even exclusion from government programs. The Company is a party to various regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of business and cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any federal or state regulatory survey, audit or investigation. While governmental audits and investigations are the subject of administrative appeals, the appeals process, even if successful, may take several years to resolve. The Department of Justice, CMS, or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to the Company's businesses. The Company believes that it is presently in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Cost-Containment Measures - Government and third-party payors have instituted cost-containment measures designed to limit payments made to providers of healthcare services, and there can be no assurance that future measures designed to limit payments made to providers will not adversely affect the Company.

Indemnities - From time to time, the Company enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily include (i) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners or prior operators for post-transfer environmental or other liabilities and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises, (ii) operations transfer agreements, in which the Company agrees to indemnify past operators of agencies and communities the Company acquires against certain liabilities arising from the transfer of the operation and/or the operation thereof after the transfer, (iii) certain Ensign lending agreements, and (iv) certain agreements with management, directors and employees, under which the subsidiaries of the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationships. The terms of such obligations vary by contract and, in most instances, a specific or maximum dollar amount is not explicitly stated therein. Generally, amounts under these contracts cannot be reasonably estimated until a specific claim is asserted. Consequently, because no claims have been asserted, no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Company’s consolidated and combined balance sheetsCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for any of the periods presented.

Litigation - The Company’s businesses involve a significant risk of liability given the age and health of the patients and residents served by its independent operating subsidiaries. The Company, its operating companies, and others in the industry may be subject to a number of claims and lawsuits, including professional liability claims, alleging that services provided have resulted in personal injury, elder abuse, wrongful death or other related claims. Healthcare litigation (including class action litigation) is common and is filed based upon a wide variety of claims and theories, and the Company is routinely subjected to these claims in the ordinary course of business, including potential claims related to patient care and treatment, and professional negligence, as well as employment related claims. If there were a significant increase in the number of these claims or an increase in amounts owing should plaintiffs be successful in their prosecution of these claims, this could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the defense of these lawsuits may result in significant legal costs, regardless of the outcome, and may result in large settlement amounts or damage awards.

In addition to the potential lawsuits and claims described above, the Company is also subject to potential lawsuits under the False Claims Act (the “FCA”) and comparable state laws alleging submission of fraudulent claims for services to any healthcare program (such as Medicare) or payor. A violation may provide the basis for exclusion from federally funded healthcare programs. Such exclusions could have a correlative negative impact on the Company’s financial performance. Some states, including California, Arizona and Texas, have enacted similar whistleblower and false claims laws and regulations. In addition, the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 created incentives for states to enact anti-fraud legislation modeled on the FCA. As such, the Company could face increased scrutiny, potential liability and legal expenses and costs based on claims under state false claims acts in markets in which it conducts business.

In May 2009, Congress passed

Under the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act (“FERA”) which made significant changes to the FCA, expanding the types of activities subject to prosecution and whistleblower liability. Following changes by FERA,its associated rules, healthcare providers face significant penalties for the knowing retention of government overpayments, even if no false claim was involved. Providers can now be liable for knowingly and improperly avoiding or decreasinghave an obligation to pay money or propertyproactively exercise “reasonable diligence” to the government, including the retention of any government overpayment. The Patient Protectionidentify overpayments and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “ACA”) supplemented FERA by imposing an affirmative obligation on healthcare providers to return an overpaymentthose overpayments to CMS within 60 days of “identification” or the date any corresponding cost report is due, whichever is later. According to CMS’s February 12, 2016, final rule with respect to Medicare Parts A and B, providers have an obligation to proactively exercise “reasonable diligence” to identify overpayments. The 60-day clock begins to run after the reasonable diligence period has concluded, which may take, at most, six months from the receipt of credible information. Retention of any overpaymentoverpayments beyond this period may create liability under the FCA. In addition, FERA extended protections against retaliation forprotects whistleblowers including protections not only for(including employees, but also contractors, and agents. Thus, there is generally no need for an employment relationship in order to qualify for protection against retaliation for whistleblowing.agents) from retaliation.

The Company cannot predict or provide any assurance as to the possible outcome of any litigation. If any litigation were to proceed, and the Company and its operating companies are subjected to, alleged to be liable for, or agree to a settlement of, claims or obligations under federal Medicare statutes, the FCA, or similar state and federal statutes and related regulations, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Among other things, any settlement or litigation could involve the payment of substantial sums to settle any alleged civil violations, and may also include the assumption of specific procedural and financial obligations by the Company or its independent operating subsidiaries going forward under a corporate integrity agreement and/or other arrangement with the government.

Medicare Revenue Recoupments - The Company is subject to probe reviews relating to Medicare services, billings and potential overpayments by Unified Program Integrity Contractors (“UPIC”), Recovery Audit Contractors (“RAC”), Zone Program Integrity Contractors (“ZPIC”), Program Safeguard Contractors (“PSC”), Supplemental Medical Review Contractors (“SMRC”) and Medicaid Integrity Contributors (“MIC”) programs, each of the foregoing collectively referred to as “Reviews.” As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, 52021, 8 of the Company’s independent operating subsidiaries had Reviews scheduled, on appeal or in dispute resolution process, both pre- and post-payment. If an operation fails an initial or subsequent Review, the operation could then be subject to extended Review, suspension of payment, or extrapolation of the identified error rate to all billing in the same time period. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, and through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s independent operating subsidiaries have responded to the Reviews that are currently ongoing, on appeal or in dispute resolution process and the Company has no material probable or estimable contingencies.

Insurance - Prior to the Spin-Off, Ensign was partially self-insured for healthcare, general and professional liability, and workers’ compensation, and historically allocated premium expense to all subsidiaries of Ensign in its accounting records. To reflect all of the insurance costs, quarterly actuary determined adjustments were allocated to theThe Company based on the proportional historical premium expense. No self-insurance accruals were allocated to the Company as these accruals represent the obligations of Ensign. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company purchased insurance through a third-party to replace the coverage provided by Ensign’s self-insured policies.

While the Company maintains various insurance programs to cover these risks, it retains risk for a substantial portion of potential claims for general and professional liability, workers’ compensation and automobile liability. The Company does not retain risk related to its employee health plans.

The Company recognizes obligations associated with these costs, up to specified deductible limits in the period in which a claim is incurred, including with respect to both reported claims and claims incurred but not reported. The general and professional liability insurance has a retention limit of $250$150 per claim andwith a $500 corridor as an additional out-of-pocket retention we must satisfy for claims within the policy year before the carrier will reimburse losses. The workers’ compensation insurance has a retention limit of $150$250 per claim, except for policies held in Texas and Washington which are subject to state insurance and possess their own limits.

Concentrations

Credit Risk - The Company has significant accounts receivable balances, the collectability of which is dependent on the availability of funds from certain governmental programs, primarily Medicare and Medicaid. These receivables represent the only significant concentration of credit risk for the Company. The Company does not believe there are significant credit risks associated with these governmental programs. The Company believes that an appropriate allowance has been recorded for the possibility of these receivables proving uncollectible, and continually monitors and adjusts these allowances as necessary. The Company’s gross receivables from the Medicare and Medicaid programs accounted for approximately 76.3%70.8% and 74.3%75.7% of its total gross accounts receivable as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. Revenue from reimbursement under the Medicare and Medicaid programs accounted for 60.4%61.7% and 59.3%,62.8% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, respectively,2021, and 56.8%59.4% and 55.1%,58.7% of the Company’s revenue for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, respectively.2020.

Overview

We are a leading provider of high-quality healthcare services to patients of all ages, including the growing senior population, in the United States.

We operate in multiple lines of businesses including home health, hospice and senior living services across Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our home health and hospice business provided home health, hospice and home care services from 7286 agencies operating across these 14 states, and our senior living business operated 54 senior living communities throughout sixseven states.

COVID-19

Since its discovery in late 2019, a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19 (“COVID-19”), has spread from China to many other countries, including the United States. The outbreak has been declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the United States Health and Human Services Secretary has declared a public health emergency in the United States in response to the outbreak. Additionally, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) has stated that older adults are at a higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have taken necessary precautions to prevent and/or minimize spread of the virus to our patients and our residents.

We have been, and we expect to continue to be, impacted by several factors related to the viral disease known as COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) that may cause actual results to differ from our historical results or current expectations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the results presented in this report are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid. We are actively managing our response in collaboration with government officials, team members and business partners, and we are assessing potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as adverse developments in our business.

Operational ResponseSenior Living Segment

COVID-19 continues to impact all aspects of our senior living business and geographies, including impacts on our residents, team members, vendors and business partners. During the second halfquarter of March 2020,2021, we began experiencing a decrease in census atsaw our home health agencies and a slight decrease in occupancy atbegin to improve each month, although our senior living communities, while our hospice census remained relatively flat through the month. Beginning in April 2020, we experienced a more significant decrease in census at our home health agencies, which was driven in large part by the delay of elective medical procedures that would be require in-home care after the procedure. In May we began to see those businesses stabilize and improve, which trend continued throughout June. During the third quarter we experienced increases in all metrics related to our home health and hospice businesses as compared to the prior year period (see Key Performance Indicators below). In our senior living communities, while new residents continued to move in throughout the quarter, it was at a lower rate than in periods prior to the onset of COVID-19. Our overall senior living occupancy has

decreased since the onset of the outbreakCOVID-19 pandemic due to a greater number of move outs net of move ins. We cannot be sure if or when the occupancy levels in our senior living communities will stabilize or improve over multiple measurement periods.

COVID-19 continuesperiods or return to impact all aspectspre-pandemic levels. In addition, the decrease in occupancy across the senior living industry has caused some other operators to offer potential residents rent discounts or other incentives, which has impacted our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at some of our business and geographies, including impacts on our patients, residents, team members, vendors and business partners. While we did not experience material disruptions during the three months ended September 30, 2020 in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak, with current cases continuing to develop across the United States, it is difficult to predict the full extent of the impact that COVID-19 will have on our future financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the severity of the virus, the duration of the outbreak, and governmental, business or other actions (which could include limitations on our operations or mandates to provide services to our patients and communities). Further, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets, as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown.communities.

We have experienced and expect to continue to see increased labor costs due to increased overtime and premium pay and the increased need for temporary labor to supplement our existing staffing. Furthermore, we experienced and expect to continue to see increased expenses for medical supplies due to the need for more personal protective equipment (“PPE”) as part of our strict infection control procedures, along with additional COVID-19 testing expenses. To counteract the aforementioned increased costs, beginning in the second quarter we reduced spending on labor at our service centers, non-essential supplies, travel costs and all other discretionary items, and we delayed non-essential capital expenditure projects. We are monitoring the ongoing impact of theour COVID-19 response actions toon our revenue and expenses. However, the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to impact our operations will depend on future developments, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the durationpace of spread and impact of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severityB.1.617.2 variant of the coronavirusCOVID-19 (the “Delta variant”) and other potential variant strains, and the actions taken to contain the coronavirusCOVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.

As a result of COVID-19, we have enhanced our infection control procedures in accordance with guidance from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) along with other state and federal agencies to protect our patients, residents, and staff. The infection control guidance from CMS and other agencies continues to evolve. We frequently update our infection control procedures and share best practices across our organization. Our operating subsidiaries have followed guidelines from CMS, the CDC and other federal or state agencies regarding infection control, including recommended screening and isolation protocols, increased PPE usage and systems for addressing local needs related to supplies, staffing and communication with families, patients and local health agencies.

Financial Response

In light of the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus, we implemented several precautionary measures to limit the financial impact to our operations and provide additional financial flexibility. In connection with the receipt of the Medicare advance payments and strengthening of our operations, we significantly paid down the balance of our Revolving Credit Facility, allowing us to continue with a reduced debt load, a lighter interest burden, and significant availability on our line of credit. We have also implemented cost control measures such as reduced spending on non-essential supplies, travel costs and all other discretionary items, and we have delayed non-essential capital expenditure projects. For further discussion on our financial response, please see Liquidity and Capital Resources below. We believe we have adequately adjusted our operations to maintain the financial health of our business based on current revenue and expenses.

The Spin-Off Transaction

On October 1, 2019, Ensign completed the Spin-Off, which was effected through a tax-free distribution to Ensign’s stockholders of substantially all of the outstanding shares of Pennant common stock. Each Ensign stockholder received a distribution of one share of Pennant common stock for every two shares of Ensign's common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. As a result of the Spin-Off on October 1, 2019, Pennant began trading as an independent publicly traded company on the NASDAQ under the symbol “PNTG.”
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered a transition services agreement with Ensign (the “Transition Services Agreement”) with a two-year term, subject to extension upon the mutual agreement of the parties. Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Ensign and Pennant agree to provide certain transition services to each other, including finance, information technology, human resources, employee benefits and other services to ensure an orderly transition following the distribution.

Recent Activities

Acquisitions. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, the Company2021, we expanded itsour operations with the addition of fourfive home health, agency, fivethree hospice agencies, and two senior living communities. In connection with these acquisitions, we did not assume any material known or unknown liabilities related to pre-closing dates of service. The addition of these operations added a total of 164 senior living units to be operated by our independent operating subsidiaries.home care agencies. We entered into a separate operations transfer agreement with theeach respective prior operator as a part of each transaction. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was $14.5$13.4 million. For further discussion of our acquisitions, see Note 7, Acquisitions, in the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements.

Trends

As discussed more above under COVID-19, inIn the thirdsecond quarter we experienced an increase in all of our key metrics in our home health and hospice businesses. Since the pandemic began and until the first quarter of 2021, we have experienced a steady decline in senior living occupancy as move-ins declined relative to move-outs due to the pandemic. During the second quarter of 2021, we began to experience a slight increase in our senior living occupancy. We cannot be sure when the occupancy levels in our senior living communities will stabilize or improve over consecutive measurement periods.periods or return to pre-pandemic levels. As uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic persists, and if there is a resurgence in cases, continue to rise,or if variant strains aggressively emerge, we could see a more prolonged recovery. For further discussion of trends related to COVID-19, see COVID-19 above.

When we acquire turnaround or start-up operations, we expect that our combined metrics may be impacted. We expect these metrics to vary from period to period based upon the maturity of the operations within our portfolio. We have generally experienced lower occupancy rates and higher costs at our senior living communities and lower census and higher costs at our home health and hospice agencies for recently acquired operations; as a result, we generally anticipate lower and/or fluctuating consolidated and segment margins during years of acquisition growth.

Government Regulation

We have disclosed under the heading “Government Regulation” in the 20192020 Annual Report a summary of regulationregulations that we believe materially affectsaffect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Since the time of the filing of the 20192020 Annual Report, the following regulations have been proposed or enacted.updated.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States.States and subsequent regulatory actions. The CARES Act and subsequent regulatory actions include provisions which provide cash payments and other resources to help individuals, small businesses, state and local governments, hospitals and other healthcare providers including targeted tax relief. The CARES Act provides $100 billion in relief funds to hospitals and other healthcare providers on the front lines of the coronavirus response known as the Provider Relief Fund (the “PRF”). This funding is being used to support healthcare-related expenses or lost revenue attributable to COVID-19 and to ensure uninsured Americans can get testing and treatment for COVID-19. Providers who receive funds from the general distribution have to sign an attestation confirming receipt of funds and agree to the terms and conditions of payment and confirm the CMS cost report. The terms and conditions include other measures to help prevent fraud and misuse of the funds. All recipients will be required to submit documentation to ensure that these funds were used for healthcare-related expenses or lost revenue attributable to coronavirus. During the second quarter of 2020 we received CARES Act PRF payments in the amount of $9.9 million. However, during the second quarter of 2020 the Company returned the full amount of payments received.

As already discussed herein, the CARES Act also containscontained provisions for accelerated or advance Medicare payments (“AAP”) to provide supporting cash flow to providers and suppliers combating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This program required a one-page application and funds were made available as soon as seven days after completion of the application. We applied for and received $28.0 million.million in the prior year. These funds are subject to automatic recoupment through offsets to new claims beginning one year after payment were issued beginning inissued. In April, 2021, at which time, Medicare willCMS began to automatically recoup 25 percent of Medicare payments, which will continue for 11 months. At the end of the 11 months, and assuming full repayment has not occurred, recoupment will increase to 50 percent for another six months. Any balance outstanding after these two recoupment periods will be subject to repayment at a four percent interest rate. We anticipate completing repayment of the AAP within the allotted recoupment periods.

We recognized $0.9 million and $1.8 million in revenue related to the suspension of sequestration for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, exclusive of our start-up operations. Further, the CARES Act payroll tax deferral program allowsallowed employers to defer the deposit and payment of the employer’s portion of social security taxes that otherwise would be due between March 27, 2020, and December 31, 2020.

On July 31, 2020, CMS released the final FY 2021 hospice payment rule. The national hospice payment rates, subject to geographical application, and the hospice CAP will increase by 2.4% over the current payment rates. Hospices that fail to meet quality reporting requirements receive a 2.0% reduction to the annual market basket update for the year. Further, the finalized hospice cap amount for the fiscal year 2021 cap year will be $30,683.93, which is equal to the fiscal year 2020 cap amount of $29,964.78, updated by the proposed fiscal year 2021 hospice payment update percentage of 2.4%. In addition to payment updates, the rule finalizes the proposal to adopt the most recent Office of Management and Budget (OMB) statistical area delineations and apply a 5.0% cap on wage index decreases.

On October 29,2020, CMS released the final rule updating the Medicare Home Health Prospective Payment System (“HH PPS”) rates and wage index for calendar year 2021. The final rule increases payments in the aggregate of 2.0%, reduced by an estimated 0.1% due to the rural add-on percentages mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. Home health agencies that fail to meet quality reporting requirements will receive a 2.0% reduction to the home health payment update percentage for the year. The final rule adopts the most recent OMG statistical area delineations and applies a 5.0% cap on wage index decreases to account for the transition. The final rule also implements Medicare enrollment requirements for qualified home infusion therapy suppliers, excluding home infusion therapy services from coverage under the Medicare home health benefit beginning in calendar year 2021. Finally, this rule finalizes the changes to the home health regulations regarding the use of technology in providing services under the Medicare home health benefit as described in the March 30, 2020 Policy and Regulatory Revisions in Responseongoing other government legislation related to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Interim Final Rule.pandemic that may be issued.

Revenue Sources

Home Health and Hospice Services

Home Health. We derive the majority of our home health revenue from Medicare and managed care. The Medicare payment is adjusted for differences between estimated and actual payment amounts, an inability to obtain appropriate billing documentation or authorizations acceptable to the payor and other reasons unrelated to credit risk. For Medicare episodes that began prior to January 1, 2020, home health agencies were reimbursed under the Medicare HH PPS, while Medicare periods of care that began on or after that date are reimbursed under the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (“PDGM”) methodology. Under PDGM, Medicare provides agencies with payments for each 30-day period of care provided to beneficiaries. If a beneficiary is still eligible for care after the end of the first 30-day payment period, a second 30-day payment period can begin. There are no limits to the number of periods of care a beneficiary who remains eligible for the home health benefit can receive. While payment for each 30-day period of care is adjusted to reflect the beneficiary’s health condition and needs, a special outlier

provision exists to ensure appropriate payment for those beneficiaries that have the most expensive care needs. The payment under the Medicare program is also adjusted for certain variables including, but not limited to: (a) a low utilization payment adjustment if the number of visits is below an established threshold that varies based on the diagnosis of a beneficiary; (b) a partial payment if the patient transferred to another provider or the Company received a patient from another provider before completing the period of care; (c) adjustment to the admission source of claim if it is determined that the patient had a qualifying stay in a post-acute care setting within 14 days prior to the start of a 30-day payment period; (d) the timing of the 30-day payment period provided to a patient in relation to the admission date, regardless of whether the same home health provider provided care for the entire series of episodes; (e) changes to the acuity of the patient during the previous 30-day period of care; (f) changes in the base payments established by the Medicare program; (g) adjustments to the base payments for case mix and geographic wages; and (h) recoveries of overpayments. For further detail regarding PDGM see the Government Regulation section of our 20192020 Annual Report.

Hospice. We derive the majority of our hospice business revenue from Medicare reimbursement. The estimated payment rates are calculated as daily rates for each of the levels of care we deliver. Rates are set based on specific levels of care, are adjusted by a wage index to reflect healthcare labor costs across the country and are established annually through federal legislation. The following are the four levels of care provided under the hospice benefit:

Routine Home Care (“RHC”). Care that is not classified under any of the other levels of care, such as the work of nurses, social workers or home health aides.
General Inpatient Care. Pain control or acute or chronic symptom management that cannot be managed in a setting other than an inpatient Medicare-certified facility, such as a hospital, skilled nursing facility or hospice inpatient facility.
Continuous Home Care. Care for patients experiencing a medical crisis that requires nursing services to achieve palliation and symptom control, if the agency provides a minimum of eight hours of care within a 24-hour period.
Inpatient Respite Care. Short-term, inpatient care to give temporary relief to the caregiver who regularly provides care to the patient.

CMS has established a two-tiered payment system for RHC. Hospices are reimbursed at a higher rate for RHC services provided from days of service one through 60 and a lower rate for all subsequent days of service. CMS also providedprovides for a Service Intensity Add-On, which increases payments for certain RHC services provided by registered nurses and social workers to hospice patients during the final seven days of life.

Medicare reimbursement is adjusted for an inability to obtain appropriate billing documentation or authorizations acceptable to the payor and other reasons unrelated to credit risk. Additionally, as Medicare hospice revenue is subject to an inpatient cap limit and an overall payment cap, we monitor our provider numbers and estimate amounts due back to Medicare to the extent that the cap has been exceeded.

Senior Living Services. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we provided assisted living, independent living and memory care services in 54 communities. Within our senior living operations, we generate revenue primarily from private pay sources, with a portion earned from Medicaid or other state-specific programs.

Primary Components of Expense

Cost of Services (excluding rent, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization). Our cost of services represents the costs of operating our independent operating subsidiaries, which primarily consists of payroll and related benefits, supplies, purchased services, and ancillary expenses such as the cost of pharmacy and therapy services provided to patients. Cost of services also includes the cost of general and professional liability insurance and other general cost of services specifically attributable to our operations.
 
Rent—Cost of Services. Rent—cost of services consists solely of base minimum rent amounts payable under lease agreements to our landlords. Our subsidiaries lease and operate but do not own the underlying real estate at our operations, and these amounts do not include taxes, insurance, impounds, capital reserves or other charges payable under the applicable lease agreements.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of payroll and related benefits and travel expenses for our Service Center personnel, including training and other operational support. General and
32

Table of Contents
administrative expense also includes professional fees (including accounting and legal fees), costs relating to information systems, stock-based compensation and rent for our Service Center offices.
 
Depreciation and Amortization. Property and equipment are recorded at their original historical cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets (ranging from three to 15 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on Interim Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements and related disclosures requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis we review our judgments and estimates, including but not limited to those related to revenue, cost allocations, leases, intangible assets, goodwill, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments upon our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and our belief of what could occur in the future considering available information, including assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported. While we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information available when the estimate was made. Refer to Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, within the 20192020 Annual Report for further information on our critical accounting estimates and policies, which are as follows:

Revenue recognition - The estimate of variable considerations to arrive at the transaction price, including methods and assumptions used to determine settlements with Medicare and Medicaid payors or retroactive adjustments due to audits and reviews;
Cost allocation - The Interim Financial Statements include allocations of costs for certain shared services provided to the Company by Ensign subsidiaries prior to the spin-off on October 1, 2019. These costs were allocated to the Company on a basis of revenue, location, employee count, or other measures;
Leases - We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments;
Acquisition accounting - The assumptions used to allocate the purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our acquisitions; and
Income taxes - The estimation of valuation allowance or the need for and magnitude of liabilities for uncertain tax position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    Information concerning recently issued accounting pronouncements are included in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Interim Financial Statements.

(a)Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations is net income (loss) attributable to the Company's reportable segments excluding the interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent, and, in order to view the operations performance on a comparable basis from period to period, certain adjustments including: (1) costs at start-up operations, (2) share-based compensation, (3) acquisition related costs, (4) Spin-Off transaction costs, (5) redundant and nonrecurring costs associated with the transition services agreement, (6)Transition Services Agreement, and (5) net incomeloss attributable to noncontrolling interest, and (7) net COVID-19 related costs.interest. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, and are included as “All Other”, accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company’s CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations as the primary measure of profit and loss for the Company's reportable segments and to compare the performance of its operations with those of its competitors. The Company's segment measures may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
(b)Represents results related to start-up operations. This amount excludes rent and depreciation and amortization expense related to such operations.
(c)Share-based compensation expense incurred which is included in cost of services and general and administrative expense.
(d)Acquisition related costs that are not capitalizable.related to business combinations completed during the periods.
(e)Costs incurred related to the Spin-Off are included in general and administrative expense.
(f)
A portion of the costs incurred under the Transition Services Agreement (as defined in Note 3, Related Party Transactions and Net Parent Investment) identified as redundant or nonrecurring that are included in general and administrative expense. Fees incurred under the Transition Services agreement, net of the Company’s payroll reimbursement, were $1,389$747 and $4,250$1,735 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021, and $1,525 and $2,861 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we updated our Transition service costs adjustment to include duplicate software costs. The prior year transition service costs adjustment has been recast to reflect the change. The adjustment to the prior year transition service costs was $113 and $220 for the duplicative software costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that were included in the 2020 full year amount in the Company’s as filed Form 10-K.
(g)(f) RepresentsBeginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we updated our definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDAR to no longer include an adjustment for COVID-19 expenses offset by the amount of sequestration relief. COVID-19 expenses continue to be part of daily operations for which less specific identification is visible. Furthermore, the sequestration relief has been extended through December 31, 2021. Sequestration relief was $870 and $1,818 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

The 2020 amounts represent incremental costs incurred as part of the Company's response to COVID-19 including direct medical supplies, labor, and other expenses, net of $1,121 and $1,675$554 in increased revenue related to the 2% payment increase in Medicare reimbursements for sequestration relief for both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, respectively. For2020. The COVID-19 costs do not include $277 in costs for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 that were included in the sequestration revenue exceeded the incremental costs incurred by the Company.2020 full year amount.

The following discussion includes references to certain performance and valuation measures, which are non-GAAP financial measures, including Consolidated and Combined EBITDA, Consolidated and Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA from Operations, and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR (collectively, “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). Non-GAAP Financial Measures are used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations and company that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, we believe can provide a more comprehensive understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

We believe these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are useful to investors and other external users of our financial statements regarding our results of operations because:

they are widely used by investors and analysts in our industry as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall performance of companies in our industry without regard to items such as interest expense, rent expense and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on the book value of assets, the method by which assets were acquired, and differences in capital structures;
they help investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our asset base and capital structure from our operating results; and
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is used by investors and analysts in our industry to value the companies in our industry without regard to capital structures.

We use Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

as measurements of our operating performance to assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period;
to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;
to assess the value of a potential acquisition;
to assess the value of a transformed operation’s performance;
32

Table of Contents
to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
to compare our operating performance to that of our competitors.

We typically use Non-GAAP Financial Measures to compare the operating performance of each operation from period to period. We find that Non-GAAP Financial Measures are useful for this purpose because they do not include such costs as interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, which may vary from period-to-period depending upon various factors, including the method used to finance operations, the date of acquisition of a community or business, and the tax law of the state in which a business unit operates.

We also establish compensation programs and bonuses for our leaders that are partially based upon the achievement of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR targets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures have no standardized meaning defined by GAAP. Therefore, our Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

38

Table of Contents
they do not reflect our current or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
they do not reflect the net interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
in the case of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR, it does not reflect rent expenses, which are normal and recurring operating expenses that are necessary to operate our leased operations;
they do not reflect any income tax payments we may be required to make;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies in our industry may calculate the same Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently than we do, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by using Non-GAAP Financial Measures only to supplement net income on a basis prepared in accordance with GAAP in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

We strongly encourage investors to review the Interim Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliation of income from operations to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the table presented above, along with the Interim Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

We believe the following Non-GAAP Financial Measures are useful to investors as key operating performance measures and valuation measures:

Performance Measures:

Consolidated and Combined EBITDA

We believe Consolidated and Combined EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our asset base (depreciation and amortization expense) from our operating results.

We calculate Consolidated and Combined EBITDA as net income, adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest prior to the Spin-Off, before (a) interest expense (b) provision for income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization.

33

Table of Contents
Consolidated and Combined Adjusted EBITDA

We adjust Consolidated and Combined EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Consolidated and Combined Adjusted EBITDA, when considered with Consolidated and Combined EBITDA and GAAP net income is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. 

We calculate Consolidated and Combined Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting Consolidated and Combined EBITDA to exclude the effects of non-core business items, which for the reported periods includes, to the extent applicable:

costs at start-up operations;
share-based compensation expense;
acquisition related costs;
Spin-Off related transaction costs;
redundant or nonrecurring costs incurred as part of the Transition Services Agreement (as defined in Note 3, Related Party Transactions and Net Parent Investment); and.
39

Table of Contents
Segment Adjusted EBITDA from Operations

We calculate Segment Adjusted EBITDA from Operations by adjusting Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations to include rent-cost of services. We believe that the inclusion of rent-cost of services provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance for each segment.

Valuation Measure:

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR

We use Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR as one measure in determining the value of prospective acquisitions. It is also a measure commonly used by us, research analysts and investors to compare the enterprise value of different companies in the healthcare industry, without regard to differences in capital structures. Additionally, we believe the use of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR allows us, research analysts and investors to compare operational results of companies with operating and finance leases. A significant portion of finance lease expenditures are recorded in interest, whereas operating lease expenditures are recorded in rent expense.

This measure is not displayed as a performance measure as it excludes rent expense, which is a normal and recurring operating expense and, as such, does not reflect our cash requirements for leasing commitments. Our presentation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as a financial performance measure.

The adjustments made and previously described in the computation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are also made when computing Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR. We calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR by excluding rent-cost of services and rent related to start up operations from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.

Home health and hospice revenue increased $27.6$38.0 million, or 18.2%.33.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Revenue grew primarily due to an increase of 68.2% in home health admissions, (inclusive of total Medicare home health admissions increase of 69.0%), an increase of 15.7% in total hospice admissions, and an increase of 19.5% in hospice average daily census of 19.0%, total hospice admissions of 23.8%, and an increase in home health admissions of 8.6%.during the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Growth was partiallyprimarily driven by the addition of nine$25.5 million in revenue from the acquisition of nineteen home health, hospice and home care operations between September 30, 2019 and Septemberfrom June 30, 2020 resulting in an increase of $5.5 million or 3.6% overall through June 30, 2021, as well as additional revenue due to an increase in operational performance metrics compared to the sequestration suspension in the current year.prior year.

See Note 14, Income Taxes, to the Interim Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Revolving Credit Facility    

On October 1, 2019,February 23, 2021, Pennant entered into aan amendment to its existing credit agreement (the(as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for aan increased revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks with a borrowing capacity of $75.0 million.$150.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility is not subject to interim amortization and the Company will not be required to repay any loans under the Revolving Credit Facility prior to maturity in 2024.2026. The Company is permitted to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Revolving Credit Facility prior to maturity without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of any LIBOR breakage costs of the lenders.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and its independent operating subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, amend certain material agreements and pay certain dividends and other restricted payments. Financial covenants require compliance with certain levels of leverage ratios that impact the amount of interest. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company was in compliancecompliant with all such financial covenants.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 we had $8.3$2.9 million of cash and $70.0$106.2 million of available borrowing capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility.

The CARES Act and COVID-19 Capital Considerations

The CARES Act expanded CMS’s ability to provide accelerated/advance payments intended to increase the cash flow of healthcare providers and suppliers impacted by COVID-19. During the quarter, the Company applied for and received $28.0 million as an advance payment. These funds are subject to automatic recoupment through offsets to new claims beginning one year after payment were issued beginning in April 2021, at which time, Medicare will automatically recoup 25 percent of Medicare payments for 11 months. At the end of the 11 months and assuming full repayment has not occurred, recoupment will increase to 50 percent for another six months. Any balance outstanding after these two recoupment periods will be subject to repayment at a four percent interest rate. We anticipate completing repayment of the AAP within the allotted recoupment periods. The CARES Act also temporarily suspends the 2% sequestration payment adjustment on Medicare fee-for-service payment, meaning a 2% payment increase on Medicare claims with dates of service from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Through September 30, 2020, we have earned $1.7 million due to the suspension of the sequestration adjustment.

In addition to relief provided by the CARES Act and other legislative and regulatory assistance, we have implemented cost control measures such as reduced spending on labor in our operations at our service centers, non-essential supplies, travel costs and all other discretionary items, and we have delayed non-essential capital expenditure projects. The continued impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity and financial resources is uncertain. We are monitoring the ongoing impact of these actions to our revenue and expenses. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, cash generated through operations and our access to financing facilities, together with funding through third-party sources such as commercial banks, will be sufficient to fund our operating activities and growth needs, and provide adequate liquidity for the next twelve months.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Our net cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $55.2 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary driver of this difference can be attributed to the $35.1 million change in cash flows related to the AAP. We received $28.0 million in AAP in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and CMS recouped $7.1 million of those funds during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Other factors that contributed to the net cash used in operating activities were a decrease of $3.9 million in net income, an increase of $7.0 million in prepaid expenses, and a decrease of $4.1 million in accrued wages when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Risk Factors Related to COVID-19

COVID-19 has created new regulatory risks that impact our operations
42

The introduction of COVID-19 into the United States in January 2020 generated, and will likely continue to generate, dramatic and rapid changes in the laws affecting our operations. With the goal of both reducing the spread of COVID-19 and reducing regulatory burdens interfering with the provision of care, U.S. federal, state, and local regulators have implemented new laws, rules, regulations, and orders, or waived or modified existing laws, rules and regulations for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Most of these changes have been made without following typical regulatory or legislative processes and procedures and have been announced via website postings or fact sheets with limited notice and without full regulations or guidance in place.

While many of the changes are beneficial in that they reduce or eliminate statutory or regulatory requirements for healthcare providers during the COVID-19 public health emergency, we remain subject to the risk of inadvertent non-compliance due to the quantity, ambiguity and frequency of changes. The regulatory changes may also have an adverse effect on our operations through increased legal and operational costs related to compliance with changes and monitoring for future changes. Further, the resumption of pre-COVID-19 regulatory requirements at the conclusion of the public health emergency may require significant operational changes on short notice.

A full recital of all the changes at each level of government in response to COVID-19 is not feasible, but by way of example, and without limitation, the following are some of the areas that have an effect on our business, that have been impacted or could be impacted by recent and future regulatory changes: workplace safety requirements; tax rates, requirements and deadlines; Medicare and Medicaid conditions of participation and conditions of payment; Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement; healthcare provider liability for negligence or malpractice; federal and state telehealth and privacy laws; employment laws, including employee leave, credentialing, and wage and hour laws; employee benefits; state scope-of-practice rules for healthcare providers; shelter-in-place orders; quality reporting rules for healthcare providers; workers’ compensation laws; insurance premiums; and state regulations affecting senior living communities, including residents’ rights.

COVID-19 and related risks have affected and could materially affect our results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity

The global spread of COVID-19 and the various attempts to contain it have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. Because of the size and breadth of this pandemic, all of the direct and indirect consequences of COVID-19 on our business are not yet known and may not emerge for some time. Risks presented by the ongoing effects of COVID-19 and related government action include the following:

Decreased home health and hospice volumes and senior living occupancy, which will lead to decreased revenue.
49

Table of Contents

Increased costs and staffing requirements related to implementation of COVID-19 infection prevention protocols, including increased utilization of PPE, COVID-19 diagnostic testing for staff and residents, and additional labor and cleaning supplies to frequently sterilize equipment and surfaces.
Increased labor costs due to increased overtime or premium pay, paid leave, and the increased need for temporary labor to supplement our existing staffing as our front-line employees may become unable to work while awaiting the results of COVID-19 tests or as they recover from a COVID-19 infection.
Increased scrutiny by regulators of infection control and prevention measures, including imposition of new COVID-19 disease and mortality reporting requirements, and increased enforcement of resident rights’ violations related to visitation.
Disruptions to supply chains which could negatively impact consistent and reliable delivery of PPE, sanitizing supplies, food, pharmaceuticals, and other goods.
COVID-19 related illnesses in staff, which could lead to temporary staffing shortages or reliance on less experienced personnel—including in states where standard licensing credentials may be amended or waived to assist with staffing shortages—or on increased overtime, hazard or premium pay.
Employee concerns related to workplace safety, including potential for increase in workers’ compensation claims.
Potential increase in insurance premiums and COVID-19 related claims.
Inconsistent application or interpretation of modifications to regulatory requirements by surveyors.
Increased operational disruption and heightened risk of cybersecurity attacks as a result of shifting many of our Service Center employees to remote working arrangements and becoming more dependent on internet and telecommunications access and capabilities.
If we need to access the capital markets, there can be no assurance that financing may be available on attractive terms, if at all.
Potential for inflation resulting from changes in economic conditions and steps taken by the federal government and the Federal Reserve in response to COVID-19, which could lead to higher inflation rates than we anticipated, which could in turn lead to an increase in rent expense under our triple net leases. All of the triple net leases in our senior living business contain annual rent escalators tied to year-over-year increases in various consumer price indices. While these leases contain provisions capping the increased rent expense each year, increased inflation could cause our rent expense in our senior living business to increase at a greater rate than in prior years.

As a result of the above risks, COVID-19 could materially and adversely impact our results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity. The degree of the impact from these risks will depend on the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic contraction. Our financial and operational results this quarter, including metrics such as revenue, operating margins, net income and other financial and operating data, may not be indicative of results for future periods.

We will continue to actively monitor the issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions that alter our business operations, as may be required by U.S. federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, patients, partners and stockholders. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our business, including the effects on our customers, suppliers or vendors, or on our financial results.

For a further discussion of risks that can impact us as a result of the pandemic, see “Part I—Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—COVID-19” herein.

COVID-19 could lead to future litigation

COVID-19 has affected virtually all businesses in the country, and healthcare providers have been acutely impacted due to direct involvement with the virus. The challenges of dealing with a global pandemic have been amplified by supply shortages, lack of available tests, and constantly evolving information. A significant portion of senior living communities in certain states have multiple confirmed cases of COVID-19 in their buildings. Home health and hospice providers also frequently come into direct contact with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 positive patients. It is likely that healthcare companies, including those in the post-acute care and senior living industries in which we operate, could become targets of plaintiffs’ litigation, alleging negligence, wrongful death, and similar claims resulting from COVID-19. If we or our operations

are subject to litigation of this nature, such litigation may result in legal fees, damages, fines or settlements in amounts that could be material.
