Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined/Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
PACS Group, Inc. (PACS Group or the Company), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on March 24, 2023. PACS Group is a holding company which consolidates various operating and other subsidiaries. PACS Group’s applicable operating subsidiaries operate various skilled nursing facilities (SNF) and assisted living facilities (ALF). PACS Group also owns other subsidiaries that are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, and leasing of health care-related properties. As of September 30, 2024, PACS Group subsidiaries operated 276 health care facilities in the states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington. PACS Group subsidiaries operated 27,467 skilled nursing beds and 2,244 assisted living beds as of that date. As of September 30, 2024, PACS Group subsidiaries operated 236 facilities under long-term lease arrangements and had options to purchase 13 of those facilities.
PACS Group owns subsidiaries that own real estate and related improvements that are leased to applicable affiliated SNF operating entities andone non-affiliated ALF operating entity. PACS Group’s real estate portfolio includes 40 properties which are operated and managed by applicable PACS Group subsidiaries. PACS Group subsidiaries also have equity method investments in partnerships that own the underlying real estate and related improvements of 49 post-acute care facilities that are operated by other PACS Group subsidiaries andthree post-acute care facilities that are operated by non-affiliated operating entities.
Providence Administrative Consulting Services, Inc., a California corporation, is a subsidiary of PACS Group and provides administrative support services, on a consulting basis, to other subsidiaries of PACS Group.
PACS Group also has a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, Welsch Insurance Ltd. (Welsch). Welsch provides coverage to various consolidated operating subsidiaries related to professional liability and general liability (PLGL) insurance.
Reorganization
Prior to June 30, 2023, Providence Group, Inc. (PGI) owned the operating subsidiaries of PACS Group. On June 30, 2023, PGI and its consolidated subsidiaries reorganized (the Reorganization) to facilitate their entrance into a new credit agreement, dated June 30, 2023 (2023 Credit Agreement), between certain lenders party thereto, Truist Bank (Truist), as administrative agent, PACS Group, and PACS Holdings, LLC (PACS Holdings) as borrower thereunder. PACS Group and its wholly owned subsidiary PACS Holdings were created on March 24, 2023, and April 10, 2023, respectively, in anticipation of the Reorganization. The equity interests of certain other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PGI at the time of the Reorganization were also contributed to other new direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PACS Group to facilitate the New Credit Agreement. PACS Group and its consolidated subsidiaries subsequent to the Reorganization are collectively referred to herein as the Company. The New Credit Agreement is described in Note 8, “Credit Facilities”.
The Reorganization was effected by thetwo then-existing stockholders of PGI (which at the time was the direct or indirect parent company of all consolidated entities comprising the Company), contributing their respective shares in PGI to newly-formed PACS Holdings, in exchange for a proportionate interest of shares in newly-formed PACS Group (via issuance of shares of PACS Group), and thus became the sole stockholders of PACS Group.
As a result of the Reorganization, (i) for most practical purposes PACS Group in effect became the successor to the historical consolidated business of PGI, and (ii) both of thetwo stockholders of PGI immediately prior to the Reorganization became the sole stockholders of PACS Group, and maintained their respective pro rata ownership percentage in PACS Group that they held in PGI immediately prior to the Reorganization (which was and remained 50/50).
The Reorganization was accounted for as an equity reorganization between entities under common control. The Reorganization combined entities that historically have not been presented together resulting in financial statements that are effectively considered to be those of a different reporting entity. Accordingly, the historical financial statements for periods prior to the Reorganization are presented as combined financial statements and the financial statements after the Reorganization are presented as consolidated financial statements. The contribution of shares of PGI and receipt of shares of PACS Group were accounted for on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts in these condensed combined/consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively restated, where applicable, for all periods herein, to give effect to the current shares outstanding of PACS Group.
NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed concurrently with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), the Company restated its condensed combined/consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (the “Restatement”). The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024, and for the nine months then ended, included in this Quarterly Report are being disclosed for the first time herein and reflect the Restatement. Impacted quarterly financial information in the accompanying condensed combined/consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity is labeled as restated.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed combined/consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The condensed combined/consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PACS Group, and its consolidated subsidiaries, or the Company as defined above. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination and consolidation. The Company presents noncontrolling interests within the equity section of its condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets and the amount of condensed combined/consolidated income that is attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling interest in its condensed combined/consolidated statements of income.
The accompanying condensed combined/consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The December 31, 2023 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements; however, the accompanying notes to the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements do not include all of the annual disclosures required under GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the audited combined/consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024. Management believes that the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations in all material respects. The results of operations presented in the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements are not necessarily representative of operations for the entire year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates in the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue, acquired property, business combinations, right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, and general and professional liabilities included in accrued self-insurance liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from estimated amounts.
Restricted Cash, Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase and therefore approximate fair value. The Company considers highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and short-term investment balances in several high-credit quality financial institutions.
Included in restricted cash are funds held for PLGL claims. Funds held in restricted cash are contractually obligated to be segregated from the Company’s other cash accounts and are legally restricted for the use of funding PLGL claims. See
Note 6, “Fair Value Measurement”, for information on the use of restricted cash in other assets to purchase investments in the period.
At any point in time the Company has funds in operating accounts and restricted cash accounts that are with third-party financial institutions. While management monitors the cash balances in operating accounts, these cash and restricted cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or could be subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets.
The following presents all cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on the condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets and reconcile to total cash included on the condensed combined/consolidated statements of cash flows as of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | September 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $49,519 | $73,416 | $69,095 |
| Restricted cash (included in prepaid expenses and other current assets) | 12,493 | 4,977 | 7,933 |
| Restricted cash (included in other assets) | — | 40,311 | 13,129 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $62,012 | $118,704 | $90,157 |
Cash in Excess of FDIC Limits
The Company currently has bank deposits with financial institutions in the U.S. that exceed FDIC insurance limits. FDIC insurance provides protection for bank deposits up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Insurance Subsidiary Deposits and Investments
The Company's captive insurance subsidiary cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments are designated to support long-term insurance subsidiary liabilities and have been classified as short-term and long-term assets based on the timing of expected future payments of the Company's captive insurance liabilities.
Patient and resident service revenue is derived from services rendered, under short-term contracts, to patients for skilled and intermediate nursing, rehabilitation therapy, and assisted living services. Patient and resident service revenue is reported at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing patient services. These amounts are due from patients, governmental programs, and other third-party payors, and include variable consideration for retroactive revenue adjustments due to settlement of audits, reviews, and investigations.
The Company recognizes revenue as its performance obligations are completed. Routine services are treated as a single performance obligation satisfied over time as services are rendered. These routine services represent a bundle of services that are not capable of being distinct. The performance obligations are satisfied over time as the patient simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the healthcare services provided. Additionally, there may be ancillary services which are not included in the daily rates for routine services, but instead are treated as separate performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when those services are rendered.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from Medicare and Medicaid, managed care health plans and private payor sources, net of estimates for variable consideration. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial to the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements.
The Company determines the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors. Contractual adjustments are based on contractual agreements and historical experience with those payors. The Company considers the patient's ability and intent to pay the amount of consideration upon admission and records an implicit price concession based on historical patient collection experience. The allowance for implicit price concession is routinely evaluated and any subsequent changes are recorded as an adjustment to patient and resident service revenue in the condensed combined/consolidated statements of income.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repair and maintenance charges which do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the property and equipment. The following is a summary of the estimated useful lives of the Company’s depreciable assets:
Buildings and improvements - minimum of 5 years to a maximum of 40 years, but generally 30 years
Leasehold improvements - shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life, generally 5 years to 15 years
Furniture and equipment - minimum of 3 years to a maximum of 15 years
Upon sale or retirement, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in other income (expense), net.
Leases
The Company leases skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and commercial office space. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease (for accounting purposes) upon execution of each respective agreement.
Real estate leases are generally classified as operating leases and therefore the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease term is calculated from the date the Company is given control of the leased premises through the end of the lease term. Renewals are not assumed in the determination of the lease term unless they are deemed to be reasonably certain at the commencement of the lease. The Company has made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheets and recognize those lease payments in the combined/consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases.
In determining the discount rate used to measure the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company uses rates implicit in the lease, or if not readily available, the Company will use its incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is based on an estimated secured rate comprised of a risk-free rate plus a credit spread as secured by its assets. Determining a credit spread as secured by the Company’s assets may require significant judgment.
The Company’s real estate leases generally have initial lease terms often years or more and typically include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that generally extend the lease term for an additional three totwenty years. Exercise of renewal options is generally subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions which vary by contract and generally follow payment terms that are consistent with those in place during the initial term, including contractual rent escalators.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations(ASC 805). Acquisitions are included in the combined/consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. In determining the fair value of identifiable assets, the Company uses various valuation techniques. These valuation methods require management to make estimates and assumptions surrounding projected revenues and costs, future growth, and discount rates.
ASC 805 defines the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is deemed to be a business. Determining whether a transferred set constitutes a business is important because the accounting for a business combination differs from that of an asset acquisition. The definition of a business also affects the accounting for dispositions. When substantially all of the fair value of assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset, or a group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not represent a business and business combination accounting would not be required.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually on October 1st. The Company will perform an impairment assessment at other times if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit that has goodwill is less than its carrying value.
When assessing goodwill for impairment the Company may elect to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. If the Company does not perform a qualitative assessment, or if the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative test. The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized would not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of costs to obtain licenses. The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable.
The Company may elect to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If the Company does not perform the qualitative assessment, or if the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company calculates the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. If the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, insurance subsidiary deposits, accounts payable and borrowings.
Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three-tiers include: Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2: inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability and Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, thereby requiring management to develop their own estimates and assumptions.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company's non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment and right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment(ASC 360), long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined based upon expected undiscounted future net cash flows from the operating subsidiaries to which the assets relate, utilizing management’s best estimate, appropriate assumptions, and projections at the time. If the expected future cash flow from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the fair value of the related assets. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Accrued Risk Reserves
The Company is principally self-insured for risks related to PLGL claims. Accrued risk reserves primarily represent the accrual for risks associated with PLGL claims. The accrued risk reserves include a liability for unpaid reported claims and estimates for incurred but unreported claims. The Company’s policy with respect to its PLGL claims is to use an external actuary to assist management in estimating the Company’s exposure for claims obligation (for both asserted and unasserted claims).
Investment in Partnerships
Investments in various partnerships, in which the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment is carried at cost and is adjusted to recognize the investor’s share of earnings or losses of the investee, after the date of acquisition, including amortization of certain basis differences, in the other (expense) income, net line in the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated statements of income. Any difference between the carrying amount of the equity method investment on the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets on the investee’s balance sheet results in a basis difference which is adjusted as the related underlying assets are depreciated, amortized, or sold and the liabilities are settled. The investment is adjusted for impairment whenever it is determined that a decline in the fair value below the cost basis is other than temporary. The fair value of the investment then becomes the new cost basis of the investment, and it is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these equity method investments is the total invested capital. These investments are included in other assets in the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates its investments, including cost in excess of book value (equity method goodwill) for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. No indicators of impairment existed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company is the majority-owner in a subsidiary which was formed to develop land, a building, and other assets to be leased to an entity operated by the Company upon completion which occurred subsequent to September 30, 2024. The noncontrolling interest in subsidiary is initially recognized at estimated fair value on the contribution date and is presented within total equity in the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets since these interests are not redeemable.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses included in the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated statements of income were $1,805 and $1,772 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and were $5,545 and $5,345 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. See Note 10, “Income Taxes”, for further discussion of the Company’s accounting for income taxes.
Under ASC 740, tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more–likely–than–not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Liabilities for income tax matters include amounts for income taxes, applicable penalties, and interest thereon and are the result of the potential alternative interpretations of tax laws and the judgmental nature of the timing of recognition of taxable income.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets (DTAs) to the extent that it believes that the assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. The Company generally expects to fully utilize its DTAs; however, when necessary, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company’s credit risks primarily relate to cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in bank accounts and overnight investments. Restricted cash is primarily invested in commercial paper and certificates of deposit with financial institutions and other interest-bearing accounts. Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from patients (funded through Medicare, Medicaid, other contractual programs and through private payors) and from other health care companies for management, accounting and other services. The collectability of account receivable balances is dependent on the availability of funds from certain programs that rely on governmental funding, primarily Medicare and Medicaid. The Company’s receivables from Medicare and Medicaid programs accounted for 20% and 39% of total accounts receivable, respectively, at September 30, 2024 and 20% and 36% of total accounts receivable, respectively, at December 31, 2023. 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’s operating subsidiaries, excluding the subsidiaries that exclusively operate assisted living and independent living facilities, have all of their skilled nursing beds designated for care of patients under federal Medicare and/or state Medicaid programs. Approximately 57% of the Company’s skilled nursing beds are located in California.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values, ratably over the requisite service period of the award. Net income reflects the recognition of the fair value of all restricted stock unit awards issued, the amount of which is based upon the number of grants and other variables. The Company accounts for award forfeitures as they occur.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities from previous 2024 quarters, offsetting to $0 in the period. There were no components of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within its condensed combined/consolidated financial statements to present and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income in its condensed combined/consolidated financial statements.
Segment Presentation
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), the Chief Operating Officer, reviews the consolidated results of operations when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole and, hence, the Company has onlyone reportable segment. The Company does not distinguish between markets or regions for the purpose of allocating resources.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has been, is currently, and expects in the future to be involved in claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other government audits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which may involve material amounts. The defense and resolution of these claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other government audits, investigations and proceedings may require the Company to incur significant expense. Loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable and estimable losses at the Company’s best estimate of a loss or, when a best estimate cannot be made, at the Company’s estimate of the minimum loss. These estimates are often developed prior to knowing the amount of the ultimate loss, require the application of considerable judgment, and are refined as additional information becomes known. Accordingly, the Company is often initially unable to develop a best estimate of loss and therefore, the estimated minimum loss amount, which could be zero, is recorded; then, as information becomes known, the minimum loss amount is updated, as appropriate. Occasionally, a minimum or best estimate amount may be increased or decreased when events result in a changed expectation.
Recent Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted by the Company
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The standard improves reportable segment disclosure requirements for public business entities primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit (referred to as the “significant expense principle”). The standard will become effective for the Company for the fiscal year 2024 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafter and will be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Notes to the combined/consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires the Company to disclose disaggregated jurisdictional and categorical information for the tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other income tax related amounts. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires the Company to disaggregate key expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization within its financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Notes to the combined/consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4. REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company’s patient and resident service revenue is derived primarily from the Company’s applicable subsidiaries providing healthcare services to their respective patients and residents. 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. These amounts are due from residents, third-party payors (including health insurers and government payors), and others and includes variable consideration for retroactive revenue adjustments due to settlement of audits and other reviews by the payor. Generally, the licensed healthcare provider entity providing the applicable services bills the applicable payors monthly.
The healthcare services in skilled patient contracts include routine services in exchange for a contractual agreed-upon amount or rate. Revenue is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided by the applicable licensed healthcare provider entity. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time is recognized based on actual charges incurred in relation to total expected (or actual) charges. The Company believes that this method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services over the term of the performance obligation based on the inputs needed to satisfy the obligation. Generally, performance obligations satisfied over time relate to residents receiving services in the facility and, when applicable, residents receiving services in their homes (independent care or assisted living). The Company measures the performance obligation from admission into the facility, or the commencement of the service, to the point when the applicable licensed healthcare provider entity is no longer required to provide services to that resident, which is generally at the time that the resident discharges from the applicable facility or passes away.
Revenue recognized from healthcare services is 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 rates, adjusted for estimates of variable consideration. Variable consideration includes estimates of implicit price concessions so that the estimated transaction price is reflective of the amount to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing the healthcare services to customers. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected value method based on the Company’s historical reimbursement experience. The amount of variable consideration constrains the transaction price, such 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, it adjusts these estimates, which would affect net service revenue in the period such variances become known.
The Company maintains a refund liability for consideration collected related to revenue that is not probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. The Company expects to refund some or all of that consideration back to the payor. The balance of the refund liability was $83,987 and $0 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is presented within current liabilities on the Company's condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets.
Agreements with third-party payors typically provide for payments at amounts less than established charges. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party payors is as follows:
Medicare: Payments for skilled nursing facility services rendered to Medicare program beneficiaries are based on prospectively determined daily rates which vary according to a patient diagnostic classification system. The applicable licensed healthcare provider entity is paid for certain reimbursable services at the approved rate with final settlement determined after submission of the annual cost report and audit thereof by the designated Medicare fiscal intermediary. Revenue from the Medicare program amounted to 34.4% and 32.8% of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 34.5% and 40.6% of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Medicaid: Payments for skilled nursing facility services rendered to Medicaid (including Medi-Cal, which is the name of the state Medicaid program in California) program beneficiaries are based on an established daily reimbursement rate for eligible stays. The rate is adjusted periodically. The final settlement is determined after submission of an annual cost report and audits thereof by Medicaid. Revenue from the Medicaid program amounted to 40.0% and 42.3% of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 39.8% and 36.2% of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Managed Care, Private and Other: Payments for services rendered to private payors and other primary payors included in the table below are based on established rates or on agreements with certain commercial insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, and preferred provider organizations, which provide for various discounts from the established rates. Revenue from these sources collectively amounted to 25.6% and 24.9% of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 25.7% and 23.2% of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s contracts are short term in nature with a duration ofone year or less. The Company has minimal unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period as patients are typically under no obligation to remain admitted in the Company’s facilities or under the Company’s care. As the period between the time of service and time of payment is typicallyone year or less, the Company does not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component.
Included in the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets are contract balances, comprised of billed accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, which are the result of differences between the timing of revenue recognition and billings and cash collections, as well as contract liabilities, which primarily represent payments the Company receives in advance of services provided. The Company has no material contract liabilities or contract assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Laws and regulations concerning government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, are complex and subject to varying interpretation. As a result of audits and other reviews by governmental agencies or payor sources, health care providers from time to time receive requests for information and notices regarding billing audits and potential noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, which, in some instances, can ultimately result in substantial monetary recoupments or other remedies being imposed on the healthcare provider. Compliance with such laws and regulations may also be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action, including fines, penalties, and potential exclusion from the related programs. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The contracts the Company has with commercial payors also provide for retrospective audits and review of claims.
Settlements with third-party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits or other reviews are considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the estimated transaction price for providing resident services. These settlements are estimated based on the terms of the payment agreement with the payor, correspondence from the payor, and the Company’s historical settlement activity, including an assessment to ensure that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the retroactive adjustment is subsequently resolved. Estimated settlements are adjusted in future periods as information becomes available, or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits or other reviews. Historically, differences between estimated settlements and actual settlements have been immaterial.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with its patients by payors. The Company 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 composition of patient and resident service revenue by primary payors for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | % of Revenue | 2023 | % of Revenue | |
| Medicare | $352,161 | 34.4% | $258,404 | 32.8% |
| Medicaid | 409,835 | 40.0% | 333,717 | 42.3% |
| Managed care | 208,871 | 20.4% | 154,057 | 19.5% |
| Private and other | 53,409 | 5.2% | 42,755 | 5.4% |
| Total patient and resident service revenue | $1,024,276 | 100.0% | $788,933 | 100.0% |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | % of Revenue | 2023 | % of Revenue | |
| Medicare | $992,443 | 34.5% | $915,690 | 40.6% |
| Medicaid | 1,146,178 | 39.8% | 816,743 | 36.2% |
| Managed care | 583,846 | 20.3% | 415,934 | 18.4% |
| Private and other | 156,479 | 5.4% | 108,816 | 4.8% |
| Total patient and resident service revenue | $2,878,946 | 100.0% | $2,257,183 | 100.0% |
Additional Funding and CARES Act
Through the CARES Act, the Company received funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Provider Relief Fund (PRF) during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. These funds were provided to healthcare providers who diagnose, test, or care for individuals with cases of COVID-19 and have health care related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. The Company recorded these funds as deferred revenue upon receipt and revenue was recognized only to the extent that health-care related expenses or lost revenues had been incurred and were not reimbursed from other funding sources. The Company recognized an immaterial amount of revenue within additional funding on its condensed combined/consolidated statements of income in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for funds received prior to 2023. The Company did not receive any additional funds related to this program during 2023 or 2024.
The CARES Act also provided for refundable payroll tax credits known as the Employee Retention Tax Credit, which allowed qualified employers to receive a credit of 70% of the employee qualified wages and related payroll costs paid after December 31, 2020 through September 30, 2021, up to a maximum credit of $7 per employee, per quarter, for a maximum of $21 per employee in 2021. Due to uncertainty related to meeting the necessary qualifications, the Company recorded a reserve against the entire amount claimed. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded $36,516 and $36,477, respectively, in other liabilities to reflect the cash already received related to these credits which may need to be returned and potential penalties.

See Note 13, “Operation Expansions”, for information on expansions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company's financial assets include insurance subsidiary deposits and highly liquid investments which are held by the consolidated captive insurance entity and are designated to support long-term insurance subsidiary liabilities and are recorded at fair value of $47,200 and $0 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the insurance subsidiary deposits and investments include net unrealized gains of $2,200. Gains and losses on investments are recorded within other expense, net. Insurance subsidiary deposits and investments consist of holdings in investment grade bond mutual funds and are derived using Level 2 inputs. These assets are recorded in insurance subsidiary deposits and investments on our condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets and are classified as available-for-sale equity securities. These mutual funds are primarily valued utilizing calculations which incorporate observable inputs such as yield, maturity and credit quality.
NOTE 7. INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIPS
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held $37,000 and $12,362, respectively, in multiple equity investments referred to as partnerships. These operations were formed to develop, own, and lease health care facilities. Some of the partnerships hold options to purchase the related real estate property holdings. Each of the entities is governed by a managing member who makes the significant decisions that impact the economic performance of the entity. The Company is not the managing member of any of the entities in which it is invested.
On July 1, 2024 the Company invested $15,345 in the entity BRFS SNF Ventures V, LLC (BRFS) for a 50.0% ownership. As of September 30, 2024, this investment held three post-acute care facilities that were operated by non-affiliated operating entities. BRFS is a variable interest entity (VIE), however the Company does not consolidate the entity as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. Therefore, the Company only accounts for its specific interest in the investment. As of September 30, 2024, the investment was $15,457 on the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated balance sheet. On August 1, 2025, the Company took over the operations of these three post-acute care facilities.
In connection with the Prestige acquisition described in Note 13, “Operation Expansions”, the Company invested $10,000 in the entity Next Saddle Investors, LLC (Saddle) for a 25.8% ownership interest. Saddle acquired the operations for all 53 facilities included in the acquisition, and subsequently assigned them to the Company. Saddle also acquired the underlying real estate for 37 of the facilities from the Prestige acquisition, which it leases to the Company. The Company determined the Saddle manager to be a de facto agent to the Company under FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (ASC 810). Saddle is a VIE; however, the Saddle manager is the primary beneficiary and therefore the Company does not consolidate the entity. As of September 30, 2024, the investment was $10,221 on the Company’s balance sheet.
All of the Company’s other equity investments are individually immaterial with the largest investment of $4,827 in an entity representing an ownership of 49.0%. Gain (loss) from the investments in partnerships was $(716) and $(7) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was $3,572 and $(7) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 8. CREDIT FACILITIES
On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into a working capital loan agreement (the Working Capital Loan) in connection with the acquisition of various new facilities. The Working Capital Loan allowed the Company to borrow up to $17,500 at an annual interest rate of 9%. On May 8, 2023, the Company drew on the Working Capital Loan in the amount of $15,000. As described below, the Working Capital Loan was repaid during 2023 and, as such, had azero balance as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
On June 30, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with Truist Bank as administrative agent (Administrative Agent), and a syndicate of lenders (the 2023 Credit Agreement), that extended credit in the form of the revolving credit facility thereunder, (the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility), including letter of credit and swingline sub facilities and a term loan facility (Truist Term Loan), together referred to as the 2023 Credit Facility. The 2023 Credit Agreement provided for: (i) the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000, including a letter of credit sub facility in an amount representing that portion of the aggregate revolving commitments that may be used by the borrower for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $30,000 and a swingline loan sub facility in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $20,000 and (ii) the Truist Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $275,000.
Outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Credit Facility accrued interest at either: (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment) plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum; or (b) Base Rate (which was defined in a customary manner for credit facilities of this type) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum. The applicable margin was based on the Company’s debt to income ratio as calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2023 Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which ranged from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum, depending on the same debt to income ratio.
In connection with executing the 2023 Credit Agreement, deferred financing costs associated with lines-of-credit and long-term debt, of $3,109, were written off, and additional deferred financing costs of $9,662 were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, on the closing date of the 2023 Credit Agreement, the Company drew $75,000 on the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and borrowed the entirety of the $275,000 Truist Term Loan. The Company used approximately $142,000 of the net proceeds to repay certain outstanding indebtedness on prior lines of credit and the Working Capital Loan.
On December 7, 2023, the Company amended and restated the 2023 Credit Facility (the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility). The Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility provided for an increase of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility to an aggregate principal amount of $600,000, which Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility) may also be utilized for (x) the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $50,000 and/or (y) the borrowing of swingline loans in aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000 at any time outstanding.
Outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility bear interest at the option of the Company equal to either (a) SOFR (plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment) plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25% per annum; or (b) the Base Rate (which is defined consistent with the 2023 Credit Facility) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% per annum. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s debt to income ratio as calculated consistent with the 2023 Credit Facility. In addition, the Company will pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.45% per annum on the unused portion of the Revolving Commitment, depending on the same debt to income ratio.
Upon the closing of the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility, the Company borrowed $460,000 of revolving loans, the proceeds of which were used to repay and refinance all term loans and revolving loans under the 2023 Credit Facility, to repay certain other outstanding indebtedness, and to pay transaction costs in connection with the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility. Deferred financing costs associated with both lines-of-credit and long-term debt of $519 were written off as part of the refinancing transactions during the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility contains certain financial and non-financial covenants and restrictions. Default by the applicable credit party on any covenant or restriction could affect the lender’s commitment to lend, and, if not waived or corrected, could make the outstanding balances due on demand. Under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility, the Company must maintain a debt-to-income ratio of not greater than 3.00:1.00. The Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a minimum interest/rent coverage ratio of not less than 1.10:1.00.
On May 16, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility that, among other things, waived an event of default that had occurred and was then continuing under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility and modified the affirmative covenants thereunder requiring the joinder of certain subsidiaries of the Company to the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility, as further set forth therein. On November 14, 2024, the Company entered into another amendment to the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility that, among other things, extended the deadline for the delivery of unaudited quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024. On March 27, 2025, and May 29, 2025, the Company entered into further amendments to the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility that, among other things, extended the deadline for delivery of audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The May 29, 2025 amendment also supplemented the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement’s financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain unrestricted cash and certain permitted investments of at least $100,000 until the Company delivers audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Liquidity Requirement”).
On July 24, 2025 and August 13, 2025 the Company entered into two separate forbearance agreements with the Administrative Agent and the lenders, pursuant to which the lenders agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising remedies under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility with respect to certain technical events of default, including without limitation matters relating to inaccuracies in certain representations and warranties made, which inaccuracies also triggered an event of default under the Third Consolidated Master Lease, dated June 30, 2023 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Omega Master Lease”), which in turn triggered an additional event of default under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility. In addition, a separate representation and warranty event of default occurred under the Omega Master Lease, which triggered an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (all such technical events of default under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility, the “Initial Technical Events of Default”). The August 13, 2025 Forbearance Agreement and Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement required that the Liquidity Requirement remain in place for the entirety of the forbearance period and further extended the delivery period with respect to the fiscal year 2024 financial statements. The forbearance period was scheduled to run until October 31, 2025, subject to extension by the Administrative Agent through November 30, 2025, or by the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) thereafter, or earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain specified events of default.
On October 21, 2025, the Company entered into a third forbearance agreement (the “October Forbearance Agreement”). Under the October Forbearance Agreement, the lenders again agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to the Initial Technical Events of Default, as well as certain additional technical events of default including without limitation matters relating to the designation of certain immaterial conflicted subsidiaries; failure to join certain subsidiaries to the loan documents; noncompliance with cash management requirements; and inaccuracies in certain representations and warranties made as a result of the foregoing (collectively, with the Initial Technical Events of Default, the “Technical Events of Default”). The Technical Events of Default also triggered an event of default under the Omega Master Lease, which in turn triggered an additional event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The October Forbearance Agreement provides for the same forbearance period as the prior forbearance agreements. Following the October Forbearance Agreement, the Administrative Agent agreed to extend the forbearance period thereunder through November 30, 2025. During the forbearance period, the Company is required to comply with certain additional specified conditions, including the continued maintenance of minimum liquidity of $100,000, limitations on certain investments and acquisitions, and a prohibition on the borrowing of new loans under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility. The October Forbearance Agreement is intended to provide the Company with temporary relief while addressing the Technical Events of Default and does not constitute a waiver of the Technical Events of Default or amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement beyond the amended terms specified therein.
The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and restrictions, as amended and allowable by forbearance, as of September 30, 2024.
The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility as its single line-of-credit. At September 30, 2024, the total commitment limit continued to be $600,000 and was secured by Company assets. The agreements mature on December 7, 2028. The balance outstanding on all applicable lines was $0 and $520,000 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company had $13,323 in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and hadno letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2023.
Net deferred financing fees on lines-of-credit were $12,641 and $14,906 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Expense recognized relating to deferred financing fees on lines-of-credit is included in interest expense on the condensed combined/consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 this interest expense was $755 and $526, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 this interest expense was $2,265 and $877, respectively.
On April 15, 2024, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering (IPO), as described in Note 15, “Capital Stock”, receiving initial net proceeds of $423,000. The Company used $370,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO, which represented 87.5% of the net proceeds from the IPO, to repay amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility, and used the remaining amount for general corporate purposes to support the growth of the business. On September 9, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering, as described in Note 15, “Capital Stock”, receiving initial net proceeds of $96,414. The Company used 100% of the net proceeds from the offering to repay amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility.
NOTE 9. LONG-TERM DEBT
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, certain of the Company's subsidiaries entered into Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-insured mortgage loans in the aggregate amount of $65,631 and $88,809, respectively. As a result,12 of the Company's subsidiaries had mortgage loans insured by HUD in the aggregate amount of $229,520 as of September 30, 2024, of which $3,669 is classified as current and the remaining $225,851 is classified as non-current.

In addition to the interest rate, the Company incurs other fees for HUD placement, including but not limited to audit fees. Amounts borrowed under the mortgage loans may be prepaid, subject to prepayment fees based on the principal balance on the date of prepayment. The original terms for all the HUD-insured mortgage loans are 24 to 35 years. Subsequent to September 30, 2024, in December 2024 the Company converted a $22,463 construction loan to a HUD-insured mortgage loan.
In addition to the HUD-insured mortgage loans above, the Company’s subsidiaries had 11 other mortgage loans or promissory notes. The non-HUD insured mortgage loans and notes bear interest rates that range from 2.0% to 7.5% per annum with various maturity dates through June 1, 2027. As of September 30, 2024 the Company had $43,057 of debt principal outstanding under the non-HUD mortgage loans and promissory notes, of which $12,137 is classified as current and the remaining $30,920 is classified as non-current.

The notes and loans above are secured through guarantees by the Company and certain stockholders. Additionally, various loans are secured by facility assets and real property with a carrying value amounting to $263,958 and $438,645 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Long-term debt consists of the following:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| HUD-insured mortgage loans | $229,520 | $166,181 |
| Other non-HUD mortgage loans and promissory notes | 43,057 | 48,829 |
| Less: current maturities | (15,806) | (16,822) |
| Less: deferred financing fees, net | (3,126) | (2,480) |
| Total | $253,645 | $195,708 |
Deferred financing fees on long-term debt are being amortized over the life of the respective loans. Expense recognized related to deferred financing fees on long-term debt is included in interest expense and amounted to $27 and $26 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $68 and $844 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As discussed in Note 8, “Credit Facilities”, on June 30, 2023, the Company borrowed under the Truist Term Loan in connection with the execution of the 2023 Credit Agreement. Under the Truist Term Loan, the Company borrowed $275,000. The Truist Term Loan had a maturity date of June 30, 2028. Upon closing of the Truist Term Loan, the Company paid off certain other mortgage loans and promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $224,802. The Truist Term Loan was repaid on December 7, 2023 in connection with the closing of the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility and as such, had azero balance as of September 30, 2024.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded income tax expense of $21,203 and $29,339 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, or 52.5% of earnings before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 27.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to the change in forecasted pre-tax book income and an increase in non-deductible expenses, including non-deductible compensation in 2024.
The Company is not, to its knowledge, under examination by any federal or state income tax authority. The Company’s federal returns for tax years 2020 and forward are subject to examination, and state returns for tax years 2019 and forward are subject to examination. The Company does not believe the federal or state statute lapses or any other event will significantly impact the balance of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The net balance of unrecognized tax benefits was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s balance of net deferred tax assets or net deferred tax liabilities is included within other assets or other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 11. LEASES
Operating Leases
The Company leases most of its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, as well as its office space and certain vehicles and equipment, under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements. These operating leases expire at various dates through 2049.
Substantially all operating leases for skilled nursing and assisted living facilities are on a “triple-net” basis, which require lessees to pay for all insurance, repairs, utilities, and real property taxes assessed on the leased property, and most of the leases are guaranteed by the Company and/or its stockholders.
For 11 of the facility operating leases, the Company holds an option to purchase the real estate which can be exercised at varying times until March 31, 2038. At lease inception it was determined that the exercise of each of the purchase options was not reasonably certain. Options onthree of the leases have become subject to disagreement with the landlord regarding whether the option exercise window has closed, and the Company is working with the landlord to resolve the disagreement.
All facility leases provide for an additional percentage rent based upon specified rates per the terms of the agreements. This additional percentage rent is variable and is expensed as incurred.
Finance Leases
The Company leases certain skilled nursing and assisted living facilities under finance lease agreements. The lease terms oftwo of the facility finance leases allow for purchase options to be exercised at varying times until May 22, 2027. The Company has determined that it is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option at the end of each purchase option window. Therefore the Company has calculated the lease term through the end of the purchase option window for each such lease.
In addition, forsix of the facility finance leases, the lessor holds an option which could require the Company to purchase the associated real estate. The total obligation to purchase such real estate is approximately $86,751 and can be exercised by the lessor through June 14, 2026 (the “Lessor Options”). For other facility finance leases, the duration of the lease term represented the major part of the remaining economic life of the facility at inception.
Finance lease right-of-use assets are included in property and equipment and have a balance of $140,514 and $37,850 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The current portion of finance lease liabilities is included inother accrued expenses and has a balance of $1,181 and $942 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The non-current portion of finance lease liabilities is included inother liabilities and has a balance of $145,700 and $40,766 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

NOTE 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Consulting and Strategic Advisory Services Agreement with Helios Consulting, LLC (Helios), a limited liability company owned by Jason Murray, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of its board of directors, and Mark Hancock, Executive Vice Chairman of its board of directors, (Helios Consulting Agreement) which automatically renewed for successiveone-year terms. The Helios Consulting Agreement provided for a cash consulting fee of approximately $4,000 annually, paid in monthly installments, for consulting and strategic advisory services provided to the Company by Helios. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $0 and $1,000 (inclusive of $0 and $38, respectively, paid to a subsidiary of Helios), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $0 and $3,000 (inclusive of $0 and $113, respectively, paid to a subsidiary of Helios), respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company terminated the Helios Consulting Agreement.
On March 24, 2023, the Company entered into subscription agreements with Mr. Murray and Mr. Hancock, pursuant to which Mr. Murray and Mr. Hancock each purchased 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $0.001 per share, in a private placement concurrent with the Company’s incorporation in the State of Delaware and in anticipation of effecting the reorganization on June 30, 2023.
NOTE 13. OPERATION EXPANSIONS
2024 Expansions
On September 1, 2024, for nominal consideration, the Company finalized the acquisition of operations for 32 skilled nursing and 21 assisted living and independent living facilities inclusive of 2,511 and 1,334 skilled nursing and assisted living beds, respectively. This acquisition from the former operator, Prestige (Prestige acquisition), expanded the Company’s operations ineight states, five of which were new operating states. In connection with the Prestige acquisition, the Company invested $10,000 for a 25.8% interest in a newly formed entity, Saddle. This investment is recorded as an investment in partnership within other assets on the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets. Saddle acquired the operations for all 53 facilities included in the Prestige acquisition, and subsequently assigned them to the Company. Saddle acquired 37 properties from the sellers of the skilled nursing and assisted living and independent living facilities. The Company then leased these 37 properties from Saddle. The Company also assumed eight leases from the prior operator and negotiated new leases for the remaining eight facilities with unaffiliated third-party landlords. The
Company has recorded the associated right of use assets and right of use liabilities for all 53 leases. This transaction was classified as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805.
The table below represents the purchase price allocation to total identifiable assets acquired and net liabilities assumed using the acquisition method, based on their respective fair values as of September 1, 2024.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | $832 |
| Operating lease right-of-use assets | 76,351 |
| Other assets | 9,600 |
| Current operating lease liabilities | (4,970) |
| Long-term operating lease liabilities | (58,301) |
| Deferred tax liability | (6,327) |
| Bargain purchase gain | (17,185) |
| Total purchase price | $— |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets acquired consist of on-hand supplies at the facilities. Other assets acquired consist of contracts assumed with local hospitals, wherein the Company agrees to hold a specified number of beds available for potential hospital discharge, for a set date range. The fair value of these hospital contracts was determined using the income approach. This approach utilized significant assumptions including management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows and renewal rates of the contracts.
Right-of-use assets specified in the table above are related specifically to theeight leases assumed as part of the transaction excluding the new lease agreements for 37 properties leased from Saddle andeight properties leased from unaffiliated third-party landlords. The value of the right-of-use assets was determined under a market approach. The market approach utilized significant assumptions based on estimated market rent assessments for the acquired lease contracts.
The deferred tax liability recognized is due to the Company having no tax basis in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company did not assume any liabilities other than those associated with the post-assumption obligations under the assumed leases.
Total fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds consideration transferred, resulting in a bargain purchase gain. The Company reassessed whether it correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed prior to recognition of the gain, in accordance with ASC 805. This bargain purchase gain is recorded within other income (expense), net on the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated statements of income.
The unaudited pro-forma results presented below include the effects of the Prestige acquisition as if it had been consummated as of January 1, 2023, with adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Prestige acquisition which includes adjustments related to the rent - cost of services expense. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any operating efficiency or potential cost savings which may result from the consolidation of the acquired operations of the facilities. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operation of the combined company would have been if the Prestige acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented nor are they indicative of future results of operations and are not necessarily indicative of results that might have been achieved had the Prestige acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 2023.
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Revenue | $1,082,734 | $896,291 | $3,159,813 | $2,568,790 |
| Income before provision for income taxes | 34,723 | 29,115 | 45,611 | 107,224 |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the acquired facilities contributed revenue of $54,272. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, income before provision for income taxes related to the facilities was $483.
In addition to the Prestige acquisition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s operations expanded with the addition of 15 stand-alone facilities which included the acquisition of 1,879 skilled nursing beds and 174 assisted living beds operated by the Company’s affiliated operating subsidiaries. In connection with the new operations obtained through long-term leases, the Company did not acquire any material assets or assume any liabilities other than the tenant's post-assumption rights and obligations under the long-term lease. The Company entered into a separate operations transfer agreement with each prior operator as part of each transaction. During this same period, the Company’s real estate portfolio grew with 11 real estate purchases. Of the 11 real estate purchases, four of the properties were acquired in conjunction with the operations of the associated facility. For the other seven acquired properties, the Company’s subsidiaries previously operated the respective facilities and have now acquired the real estate associated with those operations. The aggregate purchase price for these real estate purchases was $225,261.
The Company’s expansion strategy has been focused on identifying both opportunistic and strategic acquisitions within its target markets that offer strong opportunities to improve both clinical and financial performance of the acquired facility. The operations added by the Company are frequently underperforming financially and have regulatory and clinical challenges to overcome. Financial information, especially with underperforming operations, is often inadequate, inaccurate or unavailable. The Company believes that prior operating results are not typically a meaningful representation of the Company’s current operating results or indicative of the integration potential of its newly acquired operating subsidiaries. The assets added during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and through the issuance of the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements were not material operations to the Company individually or in the aggregate. Accordingly, other than as disclosed above, pro forma financial information is not presented. The additions have been included in the September 30, 2024 condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets of the Company, and the operating results have been included in the condensed combined/consolidated statements of income of the Company since the date the Company gained effective control.
Expansions and Divestitures After Period End
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company’s operations grew intwo new states and expanded infive existing states with the addition of 45 stand-alone facilities,39 of which were acquired through long-term leases, four through real estate purchases, and fortwo of which the Company previously owned the real estate for. The new operations added 5,030 skilled nursing beds and 271 assisted living beds operated by the Company’s affiliated operating subsidiaries. Additionally, during the same period the Company expanded its portfolio of owned properties by acquiring five properties associated with the Lessor Options. The aggregate purchase price for each of these acquisitions was $138,059.
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company also divested ofone leased facility which included 120 skilled nursing beds.
NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Regulatory Matters
Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to review and interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations is evaluated regularly, the results of which can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation, and can include significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from certain governmental programs. Included in these laws and regulations is monitoring performed by the Office of Civil Rights which covers the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the terms of which require healthcare providers (among other things) to safeguard the privacy and security of certain patient protected health information.
Regulatory Investigations
The Company is subject to various governmental inspections, audits, and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The following governmental investigations are ongoing, although the government entities conducting these investigations have not asserted claims against the Company in connection with these investigations.
On April 8, 2024, Providence Administrative Consulting Services (“Providence”) and Paradise Valley Healthcare Center (“Paradise Valley”) received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) requesting information and documents relating to an investigation of Paradise Valley and Providence to determine whether Paradise Valley and Providence violated the False Claims Act by submitting false claims to Medicare. The investigation relates to whether Providence and Paradise Valley improperly induced patient referrals through remuneration in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute. The CID includes requests for information relating to referral source relationships, including relationships with medical directors and other individuals. The Company is cooperating with the investigation, which is ongoing.
On September 11, 2024, the Company received a CID from the DOJ requesting information and documents relating to an investigation of the Company’s California-based skilled nursing facilities to determine whether the Company violated the False Claims Act by submitting false claims to Medicare for reimbursement under the patient-driven payment model (PDPM) for skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. The CID includes requests for information relating to the Company’s practices and incentives pertaining to the completion and submission of Minimum Data Set Assessments and the resulting PDPM rates. The Company is cooperating with the investigation, which is ongoing.
On September 30, 2024, Providence Group, Inc. (“Providence Group”) received a CID from the DOJ requesting information and documents relating to an investigation of its skilled nursing facilities, specifically including Bishop Care Center (“Bishop”) to determine whether Providence Group violated the False Claims Act by submitting false claims to Medicare for reimbursement under the COVID-19 related Hospital Stay Waiver (otherwise known as the 1135 waiver). The CID includes requests for information relating to 1135 COVID Waiver practices at Bishop. The Company is cooperating with the investigation, which is ongoing.
On February 26, 2025, the Company received a subpoena from the DOJ per the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) relating to an investigation into possible violations of various sections of 18 U.S.C. that prohibit the making of fraudulent or false statements to any branch of the government of the United States. The subpoena includes requests for information relating to PACS’ 1135 COVID Waiver practices, billing of Medicare Part B for respiratory and sensory integration therapy services, change of insurance enrollment, cost waivers for co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance, and claim reimbursement from Medicare for bad debt. The Company is cooperating with the investigation, which is ongoing.
SEC Investigation
The SEC’s Division of Enforcement is conducting an investigation into matters that relate to the Company’s accounting and financial reporting and disclosure, and the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls.
The Company is cooperating with each of the regulatory investigations identified above and the SEC investigation to produce the requested information and documentation. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of any of these investigations and there can be no assurance that one or more of these investigations will not result in suits or actions alleging, or findings of, violations of federal or state laws that could lead to the imposition of damages, fines, penalties, restitution, other monetary liabilities, sanctions, settlements or changes to our business practices or operations that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The legal costs associated with responding to the regulatory investigations and SEC investigations can be substantial, regardless of the outcome.
The Company is unable at this time to estimate a loss or range of loss that may arise in the event that a claim is asserted against it in connection with any of these investigations for reasons including that these matters are in early stages, no factual issues have been resolved in these matters, and there is uncertainty as to the outcome of these matters, which can result in large settlement amounts or damage awards.
Litigation
The skilled nursing business involves a significant risk of liability given the age and health of the patients and residents served by the Company’s independent operating subsidiaries. The Company, and others in the industry are subject to an increasing 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. In addition, the Company, its independent operating subsidiaries, and others in the industry are subject to claims and lawsuits in connection with COVID-19 and a facility’s preparation for and/or response to COVID-19.
Healthcare litigation (including class action litigation) is common and is filed based upon a wide variety of claims and theories. The Company and other companies in its industry are routinely subjected to varying types of claims and suits, including class-actions. Class-action suits have the potential to result in large jury verdicts and settlements, and may result in significant legal costs. The Company expects the plaintiffs’ bar to continue to be aggressive in their pursuit of claims.
The Company has been, and continues to be, subject to other claims and legal actions that arise in the normal course of business, including potential claims filed by patients or others on their behalf related to patient care and treatment (professional negligence claims), as well as employment related claims filed by current or former employees. For example, the Company has been subjected to, and is currently involved in, litigation alleging violations of state and federal wage and hour laws resulting from the alleged failure to pay wages, to timely provide and authorize meal and rest breaks, and related causes of action.
In addition to the litigations described above, the Company is also subject to the following litigation:
Litigation – Securities Class Action and Shareholder Derivative Actions
On November 13, 2024, a putative securities class action captioned Manchin v. PACS Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-08636-LJL (S.D.N.Y.) (“Manchin Action”) was filed against the Company, individual defendants Jason Murray, Derick Apt, Mark Hancock, Jacqueline Millard, and Taylor Leavitt; and underwriter defendants Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Truist Securities, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Stephens Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., and Regions Securities LLC. The complaint brings claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and alleges the Company and its leadership engaged in a multi-year scheme to inflate revenue and profitability by (i) exploiting a COVID-era Medicare waiver to “flip” long-term Medicaid patients to higher-paying Medicare coverage, (ii) billing unnecessary Medicare Part B respiratory and sensory integration therapies, and (iii) falsifying licensure and staffing documentation. On January 7, 2025, the court consolidated the Manchin action with a similar action brought by plaintiff New Orleans Employees’ Retirement System, and on February 11, 2025 the court appointed 1199SEIU Health Care Employees Pension Fund as lead plaintiff, and its counsel, Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP, as lead counsel. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation and as ordered by the court on May 29, 2025, the Lead Plaintiff’s consolidated complaint is not due until 14 days after the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint is due 60 days after the complaint is filed, Plaintiffs’ opposition is due 60 days after the filing of the motion to dismiss, and Defendants’ reply is due 45 days after the filing of the opposition.
On February 14, 2025, a derivative action originally filed by plaintiff Theresa Howard-Hines (“Howard-Hines Action”) captioned IN RE PACS GROUP, INC. DERIVATIVE LITIGATION Lead Case No. 1:25-cv-01343-LJL (S.D.N.Y.) was filed against defendants Jason Murray, Derick Apt, Mark Hancock, Michelle Lewis, Jacqueline Millard, Taylor Leavitt, and Evelyn Dilsaver, with the Company named as nominal defendant. The complaint brings claims of breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and contribution, based on substantially similar allegations as in the Manchin Action. On April 8, 2025, the court consolidated the Howard-Hines action with a similar derivative action filed by plaintiff Adam Beckman, under the name In re PACS Group, Inc. Derivative Litigation. On June 9, 2025, the parties filed a joint stipulation staying the action until the earlier of the dismissal of the Manchin Action, the denial of any motion to dismiss in the Manchin Action, or the termination of the stay.
On August 19, 2025, a derivative action captioned Boers v. Murray, et. al., Case No. 1:25-cv-00119-DAK-DBP (D. Utah) was filed against the same defendants and alleging substantially the same claims and theories as IN RE PACS
GROUP, INC. DERIVATIVE LITIGATION. The defendants have not yet been served in this action. The parties have tentatively agreed to stay the Utah Derivative Action pending resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss the securities class action. No dispositive rulings have issued, discovery is not proceeding, and there are no settlement ranges or agreements in principle. Future developments may include motions to dismiss and other dispositive motions, and potential coordination with the securities class action if the stays are lifted.
Legal proceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final outcome depending on a number of variables, some of which are not within our control. Therefore, although the Company will vigorously defend itself in each of the actions described above and any other legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial and other impacts on the Company are uncertain but could be material. Regardless of final outcomes, however, any such proceedings, claims, and investigations may nonetheless impose a significant burden on management and employees and be costly to defend, with unfavorable preliminary, interim or final rulings.
The Company accrues a liability amount when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. Such legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company is unable to estimate a loss or range of loss in connection with the Securities Class Action and Shareholder Derivative Actions at this time for reasons including that these matters are in early stages, no factual issues have been resolved in these matters, and there is uncertainty as to the outcome of these matters.
The defense of any of the litigations described above may result in significant legal costs, regardless of the outcome, and can result in large settlement amounts or damage awards. While there can be no assurance, based on the Company’s evaluation of information currently available, management does not believe the results of such litigations would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company, taken as a whole. However, the Company’s assessment may evolve based upon further developments in the proceedings at issue. The results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible.
Insurance Claims
The Company purchased PLGL claims made insurance policies to cover applicable claims through an unrelated insurer. The PLGL policies are claims-made high deductible self-insured policies whereby the Company is responsible for the first layer of coverage, generally ranging from $350 to $500 per claim, as well as an additional aggregate one-time deductible generally ranging from $4,975 to $6,000 per policy, with the unrelated insurer typically covering up to $10,000 in aggregate claims paid per policy year. The Company uses its wholly-owned captive insurance company for the purpose of insuring certain portions of its risk retained under its PLGL programs. Accordingly, the Company is in essence self-insured for claims that are less than policy deductible amounts, claims not covered by such policies, and claims that exceed policy limits. It is the Company’s policy to use an external actuary to assist management in estimating the expense and related self-insurance liabilities for PLGL claims, both asserted and unasserted, on an undiscounted basis. Included as part of accrued self-insurance liabilities in the accompanying condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets are PLGL self-insurance liabilities amounting to $200,609 and $162,976 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which include $35,396 and $34,676, respectively, of estimated PLGL claims that will be covered by the unrelated insurer. PLGL self-insurance liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include $65,105 and $43,083, respectively, that were related to unasserted claims. The Company recorded an asset for the estimated PLGL claims that will be covered by the unrelated insurer. As of September 30, 2024 this asset amounted to $6,017 and $29,378 recorded within other receivables and other assets, respectively, and as of December 31, 2023, this asset amounted to $5,895 and $28,781 recorded within other receivables and other assets, respectively, as the PLGL claims and the anticipated insurance recoveries are recorded on a gross rather than net basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Indemnities
From time to time, the Company enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require it 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 facility operators for post-transfer environmental or other liabilities and other claims arising from the Company use of the applicable premises, (ii) operations transfer agreements, in which the Company agrees to indemnify past operators of facilities against certain liabilities arising from the transfer of the operation and/or the operation thereof after the transfer to the Company's independent operating subsidiary, (iii) certain lending agreements, under which the Company may be required to indemnify the lender against various claims and liabilities, and (iv) certain agreements with the Company officers, directors and others, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of the nature of their relationship to the Company. The terms of such obligations vary by contract and, in most instances, do not expressly state or include a specific or maximum dollar amount. 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 combined/consolidated balance sheets for any of the periods presented.
NOTE 15. CAPITAL STOCK
The Reorganization on June 30, 2023 referred to in Note 1, “Organization and Nature of Business”, resulted in the Common Shares outstanding being converted from 600 shares of PGI to 20,000 shares of PACS Group (a 1 to 33.33 conversion ratio). On March 31, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a 1 to 6,436.1693 stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, which was effective by amendment to the Company’s charter on April 1, 2024. As part of the amendment, the number of authorized shares of common stock was revised to 1,250,000,000 with the par value remaining at $0.001 per share, and the number of authorized shares of preferred stock was approved to be 50,000,000 with a par value of $0.001. All issued and outstanding common stock and per share amounts contained in the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to give effect to the stock split for all periods presented.
On April 15, 2024, the Company completed an IPO in which the Company issued and sold 21,428,572 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $450,000 before underwriter discounts and commissions, fees, and other expenses of $35,843. In addition, the underwriters exercised their 30-day option to purchase an additional 3,214,284 shares of the Company’s common stock at the initial public offering price from the selling stockholders, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company did not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares by the selling stockholders.
On September 9, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering in which the Company issued and sold 2,777,778 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $36.25 per share, generating gross proceeds of $100,694 before underwriter discounts and commissions, fees, and other expenses of $5,409. As part of the offering, selling stockholders sold 13,773,946 shares at the public offering price less underwriter discounts and commissions. In addition, the underwriters exercised their 30-day option to purchase an additional 2,482,758 shares of the Company’s common stock at the offering price from the selling stockholders, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company did not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares by the selling stockholders.
As of September 30, 2024, the amount of issued and outstanding shares of common stock was 155,177,511. The Company hasnot issued any shares of preferred stock.
NOTE 16. COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted net income per share is similar to the computation of basic net income per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued, which are comprised of restricted stock units using the treasury stock method.
A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic net income per common share follows:
