All statements (other than statements of historical facts) in this presentation regarding our prospects, plans, financial position, business strategy, expected financial and operational results, and any other future events may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of terminology such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "design," "would," "could," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "seek," "will," "may," "should," "predict," "project," "potential," "continue," "guidance," or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, such as our ability to successfully execute our growth strategy, including through organic growth and the completion of acquisitions, effective integration of the companies we acquire, unexpected costs of acquisitions and dispositions, the possibility that expected cost synergies may not materialize as expected, the failure of Aveanna or the companies we acquire to perform as expected, estimation inaccuracies in revenue recognition, our ability to drive margin leverage through lower costs, unexpected increases in SG&A and other expenses, changes in reimbursement, changes in government regulations, changes in Aveanna's relationships with referral sources, increased competition for Aveanna's services or wage inflation, the failure to retain or attract employees, changes in the interpretation of government regulations or discretionary determinations made by government officials, uncertainties regarding the outcome of rate discussions with managed care organizations and our ability to effectively collect our cash from these organizations, changes in the case-mix of our patients, as well as the payor mix and payment methodologies, legal proceedings, claims or governmental inquiries, our ability to effectively collect and submit data required under Electronic Visit Verification regulations, our ability to comply with the terms and conditions of the CMS Review Choice Demonstration program, our ability to effectively implement and transition to new electronic medical record systems or billing and collection systems, a failure to maintain the security and functionality of our information systems or to defend against or otherwise prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach, changes in tax rates, our substantial indebtedness, the impact of adverse weather, and other risks set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in Aveanna's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2025 fiscal year filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 19, 2026, which is available at www.sec.gov, as well as under similar headings in Aveanna's subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. In addition, these forward-looking statements necessarily depend upon assumptions, estimates and dates that may prove to be incorrect or imprecise. Accordingly, forward-looking statements included in this presentation do not purport to be predictions of future events or circumstances, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed by forward-looking statements.

Management estimates are derived from publicly available information released by third-party sources, as well as data from our internal research, and are based on assumptions made by us upon reviewing such data, and our experience in, and knowledge of, such industry and markets, which we believe to be reasonable. Any industry forecasts are based on data (including third-party data), models and experience of various professionals and are based on various assumptions, all of which are subject to change without notice. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of the future performance of the industry in which we operate, and our future performance are necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

Non-GAAP Measures Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), we also evaluate our financial performance using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Field contribution and Field contribution margin, Free cash flow, and Net leverage. Given our determination of adjustments in arriving at our computations, these non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to net income or loss, revenue, operating income or loss, cash flows from operating activities, total indebtedness, gross margin, gross margin percentage or any other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP measure should be viewed in addition to our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as net income or loss. Rather, we present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of our performance. We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest expense, net; income tax expense or benefit; and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for the impact of certain other items that are either non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash, unusual, or items deemed by management to not be indicative of the performance of our core operations, including impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; non-cash, share-based compensation and associated employer payroll taxes; loss on extinguishment of debt; fees related to debt modifications; the effect of interest rate derivatives; acquisition-related and integration costs; legal costs and settlements associated with acquisition matters; restructuring costs; other legal matters; and other costs. We define Normalized Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA, further adjusted for (i) reimbursement received in the period presented related to certain rate increases applied retroactively for services provided in a prior period, for which there is no associated wage pass-through reflected in cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, (ii) annual value-based payment true-up related to prior year results, and (iii) improved collections on previously reserved patient accounts receivable. As non-GAAP financial measures, our computations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA may vary from similarly termed non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, making comparisons with other companies on the basis of this measure impracticable. Management believes our computations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA are helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance. In determining which adjustments are made to arrive at EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, management considers both (1) certain non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash or unusual items, which can vary significantly from year to year, as well as (2) certain other items that may be recurring, frequent, or settled in cash but which management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance and make business decisions. We have incurred substantial acquisition-related costs and integration costs. The underlying acquisition activities take place over a defined timeframe, have distinct project timelines and are incremental to activities and costs that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Therefore, we believe it is important to exclude these costs from our Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized EBITA because it provides management a normalized view of our core, ongoing operations after integrating our acquired companies, which we believe is an important measure in assessing our performance.
