A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Edward A. Pesicka
Dear Shareholders:
This past year marked a pivotal milestone for our company. With the sale of the Products & Healthcare Services business and Owens & Minor brand finalized on December 31, 2025, we launched Accendra Health as a more focused organization dedicated to advancing healthcare in the home and beyond. This strategic move allows us to focus our investments and resources on areas with substantial long-term opportunities.
Accendra Health operates through two primary go-to-market brands — Apria and Byram Healthcare — with deep expertise in supporting patients living with both acute and chronic conditions. Together, we provide a national platform serving patients, providers, payors, and manufacturing partners across the United States by enabling patients to manage their health at home while also improving outcomes and increasing efficiency in the healthcare system.
Aging populations, increasing rates of chronic conditions, and the need for more affordable care options with positive outcomes outside of institutional settings are driving the demand for home-based healthcare. With our scale, expertise, and established relationships across the healthcare ecosystem, we believe Accendra Health is an ideal choice to meet this demand.
To capitalize on these opportunities, we are strengthening our core businesses to be more nimble, helping us to deliver a simpler and more efficient experience for those we serve. Investments in technology, automation, and streamlined processes are helping make Accendra Health a partner of choice in home-based care while at the same time lowering our cost to serve. We believe that these enhancements will support steady growth, strong free cash flow generation, consistent earnings, and continued balance sheet strengthening.
None of this would be possible without the dedication of our teammates. Their compassion and commitment help ensure patients receive the support they need each day, and they embody our Purpose — Bringing Care To Life™. Healthcare can be complex, and Accendra Health is committed to making it easier for patients to manage their care when and where they need it.
As we begin our next chapter as Accendra Health, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. With leading brands, a focused strategy, expansive national scale, and a growing market for home-based care, we believe we are well positioned to deliver sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
Please join us at the virtual Annual Meeting on May 14, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Your vote is very important. You are encouraged to vote your shares via the internet, telephone, or mobile device prior to the meeting, or by completing and returning your proxy card by mail so that your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting.
Thank you for your continued support.
