American Marconi Wireless News - Viemed Completes Acquisition of Lehan's Medical Equipment Anticipates Updating its Full Year 2025 Outlook for the Acquisition with Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

"We are pleased to close the acquisition of Lehan and bring this talented and highly motivated team into the Viemed family," said Viemed Chief Executive Officer Casey Hoyt. "Lehan's 80-year track record and brand recognition in a large and fast-growing market along with its preferred contracts and fulfillment expertise make for a powerful combination with our national scale, unique care delivery model and existing payer relationships to serve a broader patient population."

In 2024, Lehan generated net revenues of approximately $25.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $7.4 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA. Viemed funded the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings from its existing credit facilities. Viemed anticipates increasing its previously issued full-year 2025 guidance range to account for the expected contribution from this acquisition when it reports earnings results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and other adjustments, including adjustments relating to the proposed acquisition of Lehan. Company management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information to analyze Lehan's operating performance, including a view of Lehan's business that is not dependent on the impact of Lehan's capitalization structure and the exclusion of items that are not part of Lehan's recurring operations, including the impacts of the Company's proposed acquisition of Lehan. Accordingly, Company management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating Lehan's historical operating performance in the same manner as it analyzes the Company's operating performance.
