“Our third quarter results reflect the continued progress our teams are making across the organization, both in the quality of care we provide and the performance of our facilities,” said Jason Murray, PACS Chief Executive Officer. “Same-store revenue increased 6.4%, occupancy improved to 91.3%, and skilled mix continued to strengthen. Importantly, 78.9% of our skilled nursing facilities achieved four- or five-star CMS Quality Measure ratings, reflecting the dedication of our local teams and their commitment to delivering exceptional patient care.

“At the same time, we're entering an exciting period of growth for PACS. Our recent expansion into Florida and continued growth in Texas significantly broaden our geographic reach and create new opportunities to bring our operating model to more communities. As we continue to grow, our focus remains on empowering local leaders, improving clinical outcomes, and building strong operations that create lasting value for our patients, employees, and shareholders.”

“Our third quarter results demonstrate the increasing earnings power of the PACS operating model, with Adjusted EBITDA growth significantly outpacing revenue growth,” said Carey Hendrickson, PACS Chief Financial Officer. “Revenue increased 11.5% year-over-year to $1.50 billion, while Adjusted EBITDA grew 33.6% to $175.7 million. This performance reflects the continued progression of our facilities, disciplined operating execution, and our ability to translate revenue growth into stronger profitability.

“We also continue to generate substantial cash flow, with $583.1 million provided by operating activities through the first nine months of 2026. Combined with $707.4 million in available liquidity and net leverage² of 0.2x at quarter-end, our financial position provides significant flexibility to support strategic acquisitions and real estate investments while maintaining a conservative capital structure. We believe this disciplined approach to capital allocation positions PACS to continue growing its operations and creating long-term shareholder value.”

Growth Highlights

Subsidiaries of PACS entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the operations of 10 skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility in Texas. As of November 1, 2026, PACS has closed on its acquisition of the operations of all 11 Texas facilities.

Additionally, as previously announced on September 1, 2026, subsidiaries of PACS entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the operations of 32 skilled nursing facilities across Florida, marking its entry into a new state. Collectively, the facilities comprise 4,049 skilled nursing beds. On October 1, 2026, PACS closed its acquisition of the operations of all 32 Florida facilities.

Revised 2026 Business Outlook

“Given the continued excellent performance of our portfolio across all cohorts, we are increasing our full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $685 million to $695 million, up from our prior range of $640 million to $660 million,” said Hendrickson. “At the midpoint, this represents approximately 37% growth over 2025.”

“We are also increasing our revenue guidance to $5.95 billion to $6.05 billion, up from our prior range of $5.75 billion to $5.85 billion."

“Our guidance reflects approximately $5 million of EBITDA contribution from retroactive quality incentive payments in Ohio received in the month of October. We also continue to see a robust pipeline of acquisition opportunities and remain actively engaged in evaluating transactions that meet our strategic, operational and financial criteria,” said Hendrickson.

As of today, PACS's growing portfolio comprises 398 healthcare operations across 21 states. PACS owns 66 facilities and leases an additional 49 facilities with partial ownership in real estate. PACS holds 37 purchase options on leased facilities and 20 purchase options through partnerships. The Company remains focused on acquiring underperforming and moderately performing operations where its operating model can drive meaningful improvement, while selectively investing in real estate to support long-term value creation.
