Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as further described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the criteria set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, which was disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the prior fiscal year, continued to exist as of December 31, 2024:

The Company did not design and implement process-level controls over the determination of excess or obsolete medical equipment and other inventory balances. Specifically, the Company did not have a mechanism in place to track the movement and status of specific medical equipment and other inventory which could affect the valuation of its inventory. This material weakness is hereinafter referred to as "the Inventory Valuation Material Weakness".

The material weakness did not result in any identified material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements and there were no changes to previously reported financial results as a result of this material weakness. Based on this material weakness, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, who audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. KPMG LLP's report appears on page 67 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financing Reporting

As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the prior fiscal year, in addition to the Inventory Valuation Material Weakness described above, management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.

The Company uses a third-party service provider under a software as a service contract to initiate and process the majority of its revenue transactions. The service provider uses a subservice organization to consolidate and reformat transactional revenue data before it is recorded in the Company’s general ledger. The Company obtains from the service provider a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 Type 2 report as part of the evidence used in its evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Due to insufficient communication between the Company and the service provider regarding its expectations for controls over the activities of the subservice organization, the SOC 1 Type 2 report for the service provider did not provide evidence of design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of controls over the completeness and accuracy of the Company’s transactional revenue data processed by the subservice organization. The Company also did not design and implement such controls on its own. Substantially all manual and automated controls within the revenue process rely on the integrity of the information processed by the third-party service provider and its subservice organization and, therefore, are also considered to be ineffective. This material weakness is hereinafter referred to as "the Revenue Process Material Weakness".

The Company did not design and implement a three-way match control (comparing the purchase order, delivery receipt, and invoice) over its procurement of medical equipment inventory through a third-party distribution channel. Specifically, because these procurement transactions are initiated through technology that is not integrated with the technology utilized for vendor invoice payments, the Company was not able to reconcile the quantities of the equipment invoiced by its vendors to the quantities actually received which could affect the completeness, existence, and accuracy of the Company’s cost of sales and the related accounts payable. This material weakness is hereinafter referred to as "the Procurement Process Material Weakness".

Both of these material weaknesses were remediated during 2024. With respect to the Revenue Process Material Weakness, management has completed its remediation efforts by working with the third-party service provider to ensure its SOC 1 Type 2 report includes evidence of implementation and testing of controls for all relevant sub-service providers impacting the revenue transactional data used by the Company. Management evaluated the evidence reflected in the SOC 1 Type 2 report and concluded that relevant controls at the service and subservice organizations were designed, implemented, and operated for a sufficient period of time to remediate this material weakness.

With respect to the Procurement Process Material Weakness, management has completed its remediation efforts during 2024 through the design, implementation and operation of new technology and related controlsto facilitate a three-way match of the transaction purchase order, delivery receipt and invoice. The controls operated for a sufficient period of time to remediate this material weakness.

Remediation of Material Weakness Existing as of December 31, 2024

With respect to the Inventory Valuation Material Weakness existing as of December 31, 2024, management continues to take steps toward remediation. Effective October 2024, a new Chief Operating Officer started at AdaptHealth and assumed responsibility for the project to implement a perpetual inventory system that will enable the Company to track the movement and status of specific medical equipment and other inventory. A solution design assessment was completed in the fourth quarter to review operational efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed perpetual inventory system. The assessment also evaluated the current perpetual inventory technology deployed and identified an opportunity to leverage the Company’s existing order fulfillment and delivery system within the perpetual inventory solution. The systems' integration is now incorporated into the project scope. As of December 31,2024, the perpetual inventory solution was rolled out to 102 locations up from eight pilot sites in 2023 supporting 30% of the Company’s inventory value.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly represent, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except with respect to the changes in connection with the implementation of the initiatives to remediate the material weaknesses noted above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
