FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the important factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “PACS Group,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PACS Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
SUMMARY RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties when investing in our common stock. If any of these risks actually occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The principal risks affecting our business include, but are not limited to:
•We depend upon reimbursement from third‑party payors, and our revenue, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted by any changes in the acuity mix of patients in our facilities as well as changes in payor mix and payment methodologies and new cost containment initiatives by third-party payors;
•We may not be fully reimbursed for all services for which each facility bills through consolidated billing or bundled payments, which could have an adverse effect on our revenue, financial condition and results of operations;
•Increased competition for, or a shortage of, nurses, nurse assistants and other skilled personnel could increase our staffing and labor costs and subject us to monetary fines;
•State efforts to regulate or deregulate the healthcare services industry or the construction expansion, or acquisition of healthcare facilities could impair our ability to expand our operations, or could result in increased competition;
1
•We face numerous risks related to expiration of the COVID‑19 public health emergency (PHE) expiration and surrounding wind‑down and uncertainty, which could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects;
•If we fail to attract patients and residents and to compete effectively with other healthcare providers, our revenue and profitability may decline and we may incur losses;
•We review and audit the care delivery, recordkeeping and billing processes of our operating subsidiaries. These reviews from time to time detect instances of noncompliance that we attempt to correct, which in some instances requires reduced or repayment of billed amounts or other costs;
•We are subject to litigation, which is commonplace in our industry, which could result in significant legal costs and large settlement amounts or damage awards;
•We rely significantly on information technology, and any failure, inadequacy or interruption of that technology could harm our ability to effectively operate our business;
•We may be unable to complete future facility or business acquisitions at attractive prices or at all, which may adversely affect our revenue; we may also elect to dispose of underperforming or non‑strategic operating subsidiaries, which would decrease our revenue;
•In undertaking acquisitions, we may be adversely impacted by costs, liabilities and regulatory issues that may adversely affect our operations;
•Because we lease the majority of our facilities, we are subject to risks associated with leased real property, including risks relating to lease termination, lease extensions and special charges, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
•We rely on payments from third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental healthcare programs and private insurance organizations. If coverage or reimbursement for services are changed, reduced or eliminated, including through cost-containment efforts, spending requirements are changed, data reporting, measurement and evaluation standards are enhanced and changed, our operations, revenue and profitability could be materially and adversely affected;
•Reforms to the U.S. healthcare system, including new regulations under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), continue to impose new requirements upon us that could materially impact our business;
•We are subject to various government and third-party payor reviews, audits and investigations that could adversely affect our business, including an obligation to refund amounts previously paid to us, potential criminal charges, the imposition of fines, and/or the loss of our right to participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs or other third-party payor programs;
•Our founders, Jason Murray and Mark Hancock, may enter into one or more margin loans and pledge a portion of their shares of our common stock as collateral to secure such margin loans. If either Mr. Murray or Mr. Hancock were to enter into a margin loan and subsequently default on their respective obligations under any such margin loan, the lender may be entitled to foreclose on their shares pledged as collateral and sell them to the public, which could cause our stock price to decline and result in a significant change in beneficial ownership; and
•We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange. We intend to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance standards. You will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED/CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except for share and per share values)
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 March 31, 2024, PACS Group subsidiaries operated 218 health care facilities in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas. PACS Group subsidiaries operated approximately 24,320 skilled nursing beds and 860 assisted living beds as of that date. As of March 31, 2024, PACS Group subsidiaries operated 183 facilities under long-term lease arrangements and had options to purchase 12 of those facilities.
PACS Group subsidiaries have investments in joint ventures that own the underlying real estate and related improvements of 12 post-acute care facilities that are operated by other PACS Group subsidiaries. PACS Group also owns subsidiaries that own real estate and related improvements that are leased to applicable affiliated SNF operating entities and one non-affiliated ALF operating entity. PACS Group’s real estate portfolio includes 35 properties which are operated and managed by applicable PACS Group subsidiaries.
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 (the New Credit Agreement), between certain lenders party thereto, Truist Bank, 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 6.
The Reorganization was effected by the two 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 the two 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 ).

NOTE 2.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 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 and comprehensive income.
The accompanying condensed combined/consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 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. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to revenue, acquired property, 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 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 5 “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.

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 amounts.
Insurance Subsidiary Deposits and Investments
Patient and Resident Service Revenue
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial to the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements.

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 depreciable 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 to 15 years
Furniture and equipment - 3 to 15 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. 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 included in current income.
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) at the inception of each lease.
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 used for straight-line rent expense 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 assured at the inception of the lease. The lease term used for this evaluation also provides the basis for establishing depreciable lives for buildings subject to lease and leasehold improvements. 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 and comprehensive 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 as the non-lease components are not significant to the overall lease costs.
The Company’s real estate leases generally have initial lease terms of ten years or more and typically include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that generally extend the lease term for an additional to twenty 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.
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) 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). Acquisitions are accounted for as purchases and 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. Goodwill generated from acquisitions is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets. 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.
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.

(dollars in thousands, except for share and per share values)
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 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
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 WC and 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 actuary to assist management in estimating the Company’s exposure for claims obligation (for both asserted and unasserted claims).
Investments in Joint Ventures
Investments in joint ventures, 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 and 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

Income Taxes
The Company utilizes 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 8, “Provision for 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 21 % and 36 % of total accounts receivable, respectively, at March 31, 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 performs continual credit evaluations of the Company’s clients and maintains appropriate allowances for credit losses on any accounts receivable proving uncollectible, and continually monitors and adjusts these allowances as necessary.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of gains affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, comprehensive income includes unrealized gains on the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities.
Segment Presentation
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.
NOTE 3.REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Patient and Resident Service Revenue
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
13
PACS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED/CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except for share and per share values)
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. Historically the Company has not had material differences between its estimated transaction price and actual collections from payors. 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.
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:
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 annually established daily reimbursement rate for eligible stays. The rate is adjusted annually. The final settlement is determined after submission of an annual cost report and audits thereof by Medicaid. Revenue from the Medicaid program amounted to 38.8 % and 30.3 % of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 35.7 % and 48.1 % of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the three months ended March 31, 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 25.5 % and 21.6 % of the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated net patient and resident revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s contracts are short term in nature with a duration of one 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 typically one 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, comprising of billed accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, which are the result of the timing of revenue recognition, 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 March 31, 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,

(dollars in thousands, except for share and per share values)
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 audit 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 adjustments become known (that is, new information becomes available), or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits or other reviews. These amounts are immaterial.

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 additional funding in the three months ended March 31, 2023 for funds received prior to 2023. The Company did not receive any additional funds related to this program during 2023 or 2024.

NOTE 5.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 $25,201 and $0 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the components of the fair value of the insurance subsidiary deposits and investments include amortized costs of $25,000 and net unrealized gains of $201 . Gains on investments are recorded within other comprehensive income. Insurance subsidiary deposits and investments consist of investments in debt securities 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 securities. These debt securities are primarily valued utilizing calculations which incorporate observable inputs such as yield, maturity and credit quality.
The Company's non-financial assets, which includes goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment and right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, on a periodic basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable, the Company assesses its long-lived assets for impairment. When impairment has occurred, such long-lived assets are written down to fair value.
NOTE 6.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, has a zero balance as of March 31, 2024.
On June 30, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with Truist Bank (Truist) 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 swing line 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) 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 .
16
PACS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED/CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except for share and per share values)
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 both 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 (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 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 based on: (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 the applicable 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 on the unused portion of the commitments, which ranges from 0.25 % to 0.45 % per annum, 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 refinance during the year ended December 31, 2023.
The agreement above 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. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2024.
The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility as its single line-of-credit. At March 31, 2024, the total commitment limit continues 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 $537,000 and $520,000 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, resulting in available cash of $63,000 and $80,000 , respectively. The Company had no letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Deferred financing fees on lines-of-credit were $15,099 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Amortization expense relating to deferred financing fees on lines-of-credit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was $755 and $187 , respectively. Accumulated amortization related to deferred financing fees on lines-of-credit was $948 and $193 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Subsequent to March 31, 2024 on April 15, 2024, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in which it issued and sold shares, receiving net proceeds of $423,000 . The Company used $370,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO,
17

(dollars in thousands, except for share and per share values)
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.
Also subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company drew $51,000 on the line of credit and paid a total of $408,000 , which is inclusive of the $370,000 net proceeds used from the IPO. That activity resulted in $180,000 drawn and a capacity of $420,000 as of the date of this filing.
NOTE 7.LONG-TERM DEBT
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, some of the Company's subsidiaries entered into Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-insured mortgage loans in the aggregate amount of $34,685 and $88,809 , respectively. As a result, 11 of the Company's subsidiaries had mortgage loans insured with HUD in the aggregate amount of $200,247 as of March 31, 2024, of which $3,307 is classified as short-term and the remaining $196,904 is classified as long-term. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s subsidiaries had HUD-insured mortgage loans in the aggregate amount of $166,181 of which $2,346 was classified as short-term and the remaining $163,835 was classified as long-term. These subsidiaries are subject to HUD-mortgage oversight and periodic inspections. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s HUD-insured mortgage loans bear fixed interest rates ranging from 2.4 % to 6.3 % per annum and have various maturity dates through December 31, 2058. 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.
In addition to the HUD-insured mortgage loans above, the Company has 12 other mortgage loans or promissory notes. The non-HUD insured mortgage loans and notes bear interest rates in the range of 2.0 % and 7.5 % per annum with various maturity dates through June 1, 2027. The notes are secured by equipment and guarantees by the Company and certain stockholders. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $50,038 and $48,829 , respectively, of debt principal outstanding under the mortgage loans and promissory notes, of which $13,530 is classified as short-term and the remaining $36,508 is classified as long-term as of March 31, 2024, and $14,476 is classified as short-term and the remaining $34,353 is classified as long-term as of December 31, 2023.
The Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants with respect to the foregoing as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The loans above are guaranteed by the Company. Additionally, various loans are secured by real property with a carrying value amounting to $234,984 and $438,645 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Long-term debt consists of the following at:

Deferred financing fees incurred in conjunction with debt financing of $2,745 and $2,611 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are being amortized over the life of the respective loans. Total amortization related to deferred financing fees is included in interest expense and amounted to $20 and $428 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to those deferred financing fees was $152 and $131 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As discussed in Note 6, 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 has 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, has a zero balance as of March 31, 2024.
NOTE 8.PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded income tax expense of $23,915 and $11,501 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, or 32.7 % of earnings before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 23.4 % for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in effective tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible expenses, including non-deductible compensation in 2024.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax in certain states in which it operates. 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’s balance of net deferred tax assets and net deferred tax liabilities are included within other assets and other liabilities on the condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company does not anticipate the uncertain tax position to change materially within the next 12 months.
NOTE 9.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 throughout 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 12 of the facility operating leases, the Company holds an option to purchase the real estate which can be exercised at varying times until January 31, 2038. At lease inception it was determined that the exercise of these purchase options was not reasonably assured.
The facility leases are generally renewable at the Company’s option for additional terms ranging from 3 to 20 years. All facility leases provide for an additional percentage rent based upon specified rates per the terms of the agreements.
Real estate lease payments are deemed to constitute the right to use the underlying facilities and operate as a skilled nursing facility as permitted by the accompanying license. As the license is deemed to be inseparable from the related real estate in determining value, the payments related to these components have been combined into a single lease obligation representing the right to use the facilities and to operate under the terms of the accompanying license, respectively.
Finance Leases
The Company leases certain skilled nursing and assisted living facilities under finance lease agreements. The economic substance of each lease is that the Company is financing the facilities through the lease. The lease terms of these finance leases allow for a purchase option during a specified window. 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 lease. Accordingly, such leases are recorded in the Company’s condensed combined/consolidated financial statements as assets and liabilities.

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.

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.

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. The defense of these lawsuits may result on significant legal costs, regardless of the outcome, and can result in large settlement amounts or damage awards.
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 subjected to, and is currently involved in, litigation alleging violations of state and federal wage and hour laws as resulting from the alleged failure to pay wages, to timely provide and authorize meal and rest breaks, and related causes of action. While there can be no assurance, based on the Company’s evaluation of information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flows, financial condition, or results of operations.
The Company has been, and continues to be, subject to 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. While there can be no assurance, based on the Company’s evaluation of information currently available, management does not believe the results of such litigation and investigations 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 $250 to $500 per claim, as well as an additional aggregate one-time deductible generally ranging from $750 to $4,000 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 actuary to assist management in recording the expense and related liability 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 $166,216 and $162,976 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which each include $34,676 of estimated obligations that will be covered by the unrelated insurer. As of March 31, 2024, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an asset for the estimated obligations that will be covered by the unrelated insurer amounting to $5,895 and $28,781 within other receivables and other assets, respectively, as the claims related to the Company's general and professional liability 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

(dollars in thousands, except for share and per share values)
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 12.OPERATION EXPANSIONS
FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (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.
2024 Expansions
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s operations and real estate portfolio grew through a combination of long-term leases and real estate purchases, with the addition of 10 stand-alone facilities and six real estate purchases. Of the six real estate purchases, three of the properties were acquired in conjunction with the operations of the associated facility. For the other three 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 acquisitions was $79,000 . These new operations added 1,334 skilled nursing beds and 174 assisted living beds operated by the Company's affiliated operating subsidiaries.
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 underperforming financially and have regulatory and clinical challenges to overcome. Financial information, especially with underperforming operations, is often inadequate, inaccurate or unavailable. Consequently, the Company believes that prior operating results are not 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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and through the issuance of the financial statements were not material operations to the Company individually or in the aggregate. Accordingly, pro forma financial information is not presented. The additions have been included in the March 31, 2024 condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets of the Company, and the operating results have been included in the condensed combined/consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income of the Company since the date the Company gained effective control.
Expansions After Period End
NOTE 13.EARNINGS PER 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. As the Company did not have any potentially dilutive securities, basic and diluted EPS are the same.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed combined/consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as disclosed in our final prospectus dated April 12, 2024 in connection with our IPO, which includes for the year ended December 31, 2023, and discusses our business and related risks in greater detail, as well as subsequent reports we may file from time to time on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, for additional information. The section titled “Risk Factors” contained in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and similar discussions in our other SEC filings, also describe some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock.
Overview
We are a leading post-acute healthcare company primarily focused on delivering high-quality skilled nursing care through a portfolio of independently operated facilities. Founded in 2013, we are one of the largest skilled nursing providers in the United States based on number of facilities, with 218 post-acute care facilities across nine states serving over 20,000 patients daily. We also provide senior care, assisted living, and independent living options in some of our communities. Our significant historical growth has been primarily driven by our expertise in acquiring underperforming long-term custodial care skilled nursing facilities and transforming them into higher acuity, high value-add short-term transitional care skilled nursing facilities. We believe our success is driven in significant part by our decentralized, local operating model, through which we empower local leaders at each facility to operate their facility autonomously and deliver excellence in clinical quality and a superior experience for our patients. We provide our independently operated facilities with a comprehensive suite of technology, support, and back-office services that allow local leadership teams to focus more of their time and effort on providing quality care to patients. We believe our operating model delivers value to all of our healthcare stakeholders, including patients and families, referring providers, payors, and administrators and clinicians.
We aim to create value by identifying and acquiring underperforming custodial care facilities and converting them into higher-value short-term transitional care facilities by investing in clinical teams and processes and upgrading technology, equipment, training, staffing, aesthetics, and other aspects of the business. The resources and guidance offered by PACS Services is key to rapid integration of new facilities and provides our local leadership teams with an effective technology infrastructure, support tools, and regional support teams that allow local leadership to focus on operational improvements. Our facilities generally undergo an up to three-year post-acquisition transition period. During this period, we seek to implement best practices designed to realize and sustain the facility’s full potential. These practices often result in significant improvements to clinical quality and other operational metrics, including skilled mix, occupancy rates and payor contracting. We believe the results of our acquisition strategy are demonstrated by our high average QM Star rating and occupancy rate for Mature facilities of 4.2 and 95%, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the average QM Star rating and occupancy rate for New facilities was 3.9 and 83%, respectively.
Initial Public Offering
On April 10, 2024, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-233965) (Registration Statement) related to our IPO was declared effective by the SEC, and our common stock began trading on The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), on April 11, 2024. Our IPO closed on April 15, 2024. As a result, our unaudited condensed combined/consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024 do not reflect the impact of our IPO. For additional information, See Note 15 – Subsequent Events to our unaudited condensed combined/consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we expanded our operations with the addition of nine stand-alone skilled nursing operations and one assisted living facility. These new operations added a total of 1,334 skilled nursing beds and 174 assisted living beds to be operated by our affiliated operating subsidiaries.
Subsequent to March 31, 2024, our operations grew with the addition of one stand-alone facility through a long-term lease. The new operations added 122 skilled nursing beds operated by our affiliated operating subsidiaries. For further discussion of our real estate properties and expansions, see Note 12, “Operation Expansions” in the Notes to the condensed combined/consolidated financial statements.
Key Skilled Services Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use the following key skilled services metrics and non-GAAP financial measures to help us evaluate our business, identify trends that affect our financial performance, and make strategic decisions.
Key Skilled Services Metrics
We monitor the below key skilled services metrics across all of our facilities and by Mature facilities, Ramping facilities, and New facilities. Mature facilities are defined as facilities purchased more than 36 months prior to a respective measurement date. Ramping facilities are defined as facilities purchased within 18 to 36 months prior to a respective measurement date. New facilities are defined as facilities purchased less than 18 months prior to a respective measurement date.
•Skilled nursing services revenue — Skilled nursing services revenue reflects the portion of patient and resident service revenue generated from all patients in skilled nursing facilities, excluding revenue generated from our assisted and independent living services.
•Skilled mix — We measure both revenue and nursing patient days by payor. Medicare and managed care patients, whom we refer to as high acuity patients, typically require a higher level of skilled nursing care. As a result, Medicare and managed care reimbursement rates are typically higher than those from other payors. In most states, Medicaid reimbursement rates are generally the lowest of all payor types. Changes in the payor mix can significantly affect our revenue and profitability. To monitor this performance, we evaluate two different measures of skilled mix:
◦Skilled mix by revenue — Skilled mix by revenue represents the portion of routine revenue generated from treating high acuity Medicare and managed care patients. Routine revenue refers to skilled nursing services revenue generated by contracted daily rates charged for skilled nursing services. Services provided outside of routine contractual agreements are recorded separately as ancillary revenue, including Medicare Part B therapy services, and are not routine revenue. The inclusion of therapy and other ancillary treatments in the contracted daily rate varies by payor source and by contract. Revenue associated with calculating skilled mix is based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, excluding the estimates of variable consideration under the revenue recognition standard, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606.
27
◦Skilled mix by nursing patient days — Skilled mix by nursing patient days represents the number of days our high acuity Medicare and managed care patients receive skilled nursing services at skilled nursing facilities as a percentage of the total number of days that patients from all payor sources receive skilled nursing services at skilled nursing facilities for any given period.
•Occupancy — The total number of patients occupying a bed in a skilled nursing facility as a percentage of the beds in such facility that are available for occupancy during the period.
•Number of facilities — The total number of skilled nursing facilities that we operate. Excludes six and three assisted living and independent living facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
•Number of operational beds — The total number of operational beds associated with the skilled nursing facilities that we own.
The following tables present the above key skilled services metrics by category for all facilities, Mature facilities, Ramping facilities and New facilities as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

funding, which includes payments we recognized as part of The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). Revenue associated with calculating average daily rates is based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, excluding the estimates of variable consideration under the revenue recognition standard, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results provided throughout that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also present the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR (collectively, Non-GAAP Financial Measures). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures. Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures have no standardized meaning defined by GAAP, and therefore have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. You should review the reconciliation of net income to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the table below, together with our audited combined/consolidated financial statements and the related notes in their entirety, and should not rely on any single financial measure. Additionally, other companies may define these or similar Non-GAAP Financial Measures with the same or similar names differently, and because these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures to those of other companies.
Performance Measures
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, as well as for business planning and forecasting purposes. In addition, we believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
EBITDA – We calculate EBITDA as net income, adjusted for net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest, before: other expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA – We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for non-core business items, which for the reported periods includes, to the extent applicable, costs incurred to acquire operations that are not capitalizable, gains on lease termination, and certain one-time expenses that are not representative of our underlying operating performance. Costs related to acquisitions include costs related to our acquisition of SNF facilities and providers, including related costs such as legal fees, financial and tax due diligence, consulting and escrow fees.
Valuation Measure
We use Adjusted EBITDAR as a measure to determine the value of prospective acquisitions and to assess the enterprise value of our business without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDAR is also a commonly used measure by investors, analysts and other interested parties to compare the enterprise value of different companies in the healthcare industry without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements, particularly for companies with operating and finance leases. For example, finance
30
lease expenditures are recorded in depreciation and interest and are therefore removed from Adjusted EBITDA, whereas operating lease expenditures are recorded in rent expense and are therefore retained in Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDAR is a financial valuation measure that is not specified in GAAP, and is not displayed as a performance measure as it excludes rent expense, which is a normal and recurring cash operating expense, and is therefore presented only for the current period. While we believe that Adjusted EBITDAR provides useful insight regarding our underlying operations, excluding the impact of our operating leases, we must still incur cash operating expenses related to our operating leases and rent and such expenses are necessary to operate our leased operations. As a result, Adjusted EBITDAR may understate the extent of our cash operating expenses for the respective period relative to our actual cash needs to operate our leased operations and business.
Adjusted EBITDAR – We calculate Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA less rent-cost of services.
The table below presents a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, on a combined/consolidated basis for the periods presented:

Key Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We believe that our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those below and in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Patient and Resident Service Revenue
Patient and resident service revenue typically represents over 99% our total revenue. Patient and resident service revenue comprises skilled nursing services revenue, revenue generated from our senior assisted living services and revenue generated from certain ancillary services provided outside of routine contractual agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, skilled nursing services revenue represented over 99% of patient and resident service revenue.
We derive patient and resident service revenue from services rendered, under short-term contracts, to patients for skilled and intermediate nursing, rehabilitation therapy, assisted living and hospice services. This revenue is reported at the amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect 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. Within our skilled nursing operations, we generate revenue from Medicaid, Medicare and other payors such as commercial insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, and preferred provider organizations.
31
We expect patient and resident service revenue to continue to represent the vast majority of our total revenue and that such revenue will continue to increase to the extent we successfully execute on our acquisition strategy.
Additional Funding
We received funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Provider Relief Fund (PRF) as we are the 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. In 2023, this program ended and we do not expect to recognize any revenue based on funding through the PRF in the future.
Other Revenue
Other revenue relates to ancillary revenue generating activities and primarily consists of revenue associated with arrangements in which we are a lessor of certain facilities. Other revenue typically represents an immaterial portion of our total revenue and we expect this to continue for the foreseeable future.
Cost of Services (exclusive of rent and depreciation and amortization shown separately)
Our cost of services represents the costs of operating our operating subsidiaries, which primarily consist of payroll and related benefits, supplies, purchased services, and ancillary expenses such as the cost of pharmacy and therapy services provided to patients. Cost of services also includes the cost of general and professional liability insurance, rent expenses related to leasing our operational facilities (such as taxes, insurance, impounds, capital reserves or other charges payable under the applicable lease agreements), dietary services, contracted services and other general cost of services with respect to our operations. As we continue to execute on our acquisitions strategy and grow our business, we expect that our cost of services will continue to increase.
Rent - Cost of Services
Rent - cost of services consists solely of base minimum rent amounts payable under lease agreements to third-party real estate owners. Our operating subsidiaries lease and operate but do not own the underlying real estate and these amounts do not include taxes, insurance, impounds, capital reserves or other charges payable under the applicable lease agreements. As we continue to execute on our acquisitions strategy and expand our network of facilities, we expect that our rent - cost of services will continue to increase.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense consists primarily of payroll and related benefits and travel expenses for our PACS Services personnel, including training and other operational support. General and administrative expense also includes professional fees (including accounting and legal fees) and costs relating to our information systems. Historically, our general and administrative expense has not included any stock-based compensation. In connection with our IPO, we adopted the 2024 Plan and ESPP which had no impact on the results of operations through March 31, 2024. We anticipate that beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2024, our general and administrative expense will include stock-based compensation.
We expect general and administrative expense to increase on an absolute dollar basis for the foreseeable future as we continue to increase investments to support our growth. We also expect that our costs will increase related to legal, audit, accounting, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance costs, investor and public relations costs, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We anticipate that general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue will vary from period to period, but we expect to leverage these expenses over time as we grow our revenue.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are recorded at their original historical cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. The following is a summary of the depreciable lives of our 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 to 15 years
32
•Furniture and equipment - 3 to 15 years
Other (Expense) Income, net
Other expense, net consists primarily of interest expense related to our debt, as well as income from gains and losses from investments in partnerships, including joint ventures, and gains from lease termination.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

Revenue
Patient and resident service revenue - Patient and resident service revenue increased by $226.5 million to $934.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a 32.0% increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, skilled nursing services revenue represented more than 99.0% of patient and resident service revenue.
Skilled nursing services revenue increased by 31.4%, or $221.9 million, to $927.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change was driven by an increase in operational beds of 5,194 from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 leading to a 35.3% increase in patient days year-over-year. Additionally we experienced a consistent occupancy rate across all facilities of 91.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 91.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, following continued execution on our business model.
33
Our skilled nursing services revenue was impacted by developments in our average daily rates and fluctuations in our payor sources. Our average Medicare daily rates increased by 11.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Our average Medicaid rates increased 5.3% due to state reimbursement increases and our participation in supplemental Medicaid payment programs and quality improvement programs in various states. Medicaid rates exclude the amount of state relief revenue we recorded.
Additional funding - Additional funding revenue was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to the termination of additional funding from the HHS under the Pandemic PHE after March 31, 2023.
Other revenue - Other revenue increased by 75.5% to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Cost of services
Cost of services increased by $197.2 million to $736.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The 36.6% increase was primarily driven by an increase of $119.4 million in salaries and wages. Of the salaries and wages increase, those attributable to New facilities purchased after March 31, 2023 accounted for $76.0 million or 63.7% of the increase. Our total number of post-acute care facilities, inclusive of skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities, increased from 177 as of March 31, 2023 to 218 as of March 31, 2024, an increase of 23.2%. This increase in operations and employees led to the increase in labor cost for New facilities as they were acquired throughout the year. Headcount and operational changes attributable to other facilities accounted for the remaining change in salaries and wages. Aside from labor costs, the increase in cost of services was due to increases of $36.8 million in administrative expenses for facilities made up of $19.5 million from New facilities and $17.3 million from Ramping and Mature facilities, $19.5 million in contracted services, and $11.8 million in nursing and dietary expenses with the remainder spread out across various expense types.
Rent - cost of services
Rent - cost of services increased to $64.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $45.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of 41 new facilities, which accounted for approximately 63% of the increase, with the remaining $7.0 million attributable to annual escalators on Mature and Ramping facilities' rent.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense decreased by $12.5 million, to $46.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $59.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the expansion of the company and a decrease in acquisitions completed as compared to the same period in the prior year. Of the $12.5 million decrease, $19.4 million was in administrative costs, driven by a reduction of $17.3 million of costs associated with professional and general liability insurance. This was offset by an increase of $6.5 million over the three months ended March 31, 2023, in salaries and wages.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.1 million to $7.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase is directly attributable to new facilities acquired.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Other expense, net consists of interest expense related to our debt, which increased by $4.8 million, to $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by an increase in lines of credit and long-term debt of $246.7 million from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024. Additionally, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, other expense, net also included a gain of $8.0 million recognized upon the termination of a lease.
34
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes totaled $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an effective tax rate of 32.7%, compared to a provision for income tax of $11.5 million and an effective tax rate of 23.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in effective tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible expenses, including non-deductible compensation in 2024. See Note 8 “Provision for Income Taxes” in our condensed combined/consolidated financial statements for more information.
Holding Company Status
We are a holding company with no significant direct operating assets, employees or revenues. Our operating subsidiaries are operated by separate, independent entities, each of which has its own management, employees and assets. In addition, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, we provide centralized accounting, payroll, human resources, information technology, legal, risk management and other consulting and centralized services to the other operating subsidiaries through contractual relationships with those subsidiaries. We also have a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary that provides some claims-made coverage to our operating subsidiaries for professional liability and general liability insurance.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been derived from our cash flows from operations, mortgage loans (including both Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-insured and non-HUD mortgage loans), and credit facilities maintained with commercial banks. Our liquidity as of March 31, 2024 is impacted by cash generated from strong operational performance that improved through a combination of long-term leases and real estate purchases and increased acquisitions. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $81.2 million, total assets of $3.9 billion, total liabilities of $3.7 billion, and total equity of $133.6 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $94.3 million, total assets of $2.8 billion, total liabilities of $2.7 billion, and total equity of $87.7 million as of March 31, 2023.
On April 15, 2024, we completed our IPO of 21,428,572 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share, for total net proceeds of approximately $423.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. For additional information, see Note 15 – Subsequent Events to our condensed combined/consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We currently maintain our Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility, which has a total commitment limit of $600 million, as our single line-of-credit. As of March 31, 2024, the total principal amount outstanding under our Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility was $537.0 million. The terms of the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility permit optional prepayments from time to time without premium or penalty. We expect to continue to use the Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility as our single line-of-credit and to fund the potential acquisition of additional property and operation acquisitions, as well as for working capital and for general corporate purposes. Cash paid to fund acquisitions was $78.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $52.1 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. We used approximately $371.4 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay amounts outstanding under our Amended and Restated 2023 Credit Facility.
We believe our current cash balances, our cash flow from operations, the amounts available for borrowing under our credit facilities and the proceeds from our IPO will be sufficient to cover our operating needs for at least the next 12 months. We may, in the future, seek to raise additional capital to fund growth, capital renovations, operations and other business activities, but such additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.
Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 consisted of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
