Business PART I We are a national leader in providing patient-centered, healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment ("HME”), medical supplies, and related services. We focus primarily on providing (i) sleep therapy equipment, supplies and related services (including CPAP and bi PAP services) to individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA”), (ii) medical devices and supplies to patients for the treatment of diabetes (including continuous glucose monitors ("CGM”) and insulin pumps), (iii) home medical equipment to patients discharged from acute care and other facilities, (iv) oxygen and related chronic therapy services in the home, and (v) other HME devices and supplies on behalf of chronically ill patients with wound care, urological, incontinence, ostomy and nutritional supply needs. We service beneficiaries of Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance payors. As of December 31, 2021, we serviced approximately 3.8 million patients annually in all 50 states through our network of 757 locations in 47 states. Our principal executive offices are located at 220 West Germantown Pike, Suite 250, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania 19462. Company Operations Product Offering. AdaptHealth delivers patient-centered, healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment, medical supplies, and related services directly to a patient’s home upon discharge from a hospital and/or receipt of referral. The breadth of AdaptHealth’s products is particularly valuable to acute care hospitals, sleep laboratories and long-term care facilities that discharge patients with complex conditions and multiple product needs. AdaptHealth is often paid a fixed monthly amount for certain HME products as designated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS”) or commercial insurance payors, such as CPAP equipment, wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, insulin pumps and other similar products. These sales accounted for approximately 33% of AdaptHealth’s net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. For resupply sale and one-time sale products, which include those deemed to be consumables, AdaptHealth receives a single payment upon sale of the product. These products, which include CPAP masks and related supplies, diabetes management supplies, continuous glucose monitors, wound care supplies, wheelchair cushions accessories, orthopedic bracing, breast pumps and supplies, walkers, commodes and canes, nutritional supplies and incontinence supplies, accounted for approximately 67% of AdaptHealth’s net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. Supply Chain. AdaptHealth plays an important role in delivering HME products to patients in their homes. Manufacturers of home medical equipment and diabetes medical devices sell and ship their products to AdaptHealth directly. AdaptHealth also contracts with national healthcare distribution companies to ship certain HME products directly to patients’ homes. These distributors invoice AdaptHealth for the cost of shipped products at the time of sale. AdaptHealth receives referrals from a variety of sources, such as acute care hospitals, sleep laboratories, pulmonologist offices, skilled nursing facilities and hospice operators. AdaptHealth’s products are either shipped to patients’ homes by AdaptHealth-operated or contracted delivery trucks or shipped using proprietary or third-party distribution services. AdaptHealth bills payors and patients directly for the products that are delivered and for the services that are provided. Operating Structure Management. AdaptHealth is led by a proven management team with experience in the HME industry across a variety of healthcare organizations. AdaptHealth has a centralized approach for key business processes, including mergers and acquisitions ("M&A”) activity, revenue cycle management, strategic purchases, payor contracting, finance, compliance, legal, human resources, IT and sales management. In addition, AdaptHealth has centralized many of the functions relating to its CPAP and other resupply businesses. However, AdaptHealth believes that the personalized nature of customer requirements and referral relationships, characteristic of the home healthcare business, mandate that it emphasize a localized operating structure as well. AdaptHealth focuses on regional management to respond promptly and effectively to local market demands and opportunities. AdaptHealth’s regional managers are responsible and 5 Table of Contents accountable for maintaining and developing relationships with referral sources, customer service for non-CPAP supply product lines and logistics for non-drop-shipped products. IT. AdaptHealth has established an integrated, technology-enabled, centralized platform, distinguishing itself from many of its competitors who traditionally use less automated processes that are typically complex, can be prone to mistakes and are inefficient. AdaptHealth’s technology enables automated, compliant, and integrated workflow into patients’ delivery of care. AdaptHealth believes that this advanced technology platform provides it with a competitive advantage through its unique components that cater to patients and physicians. AdaptHealth believes that its technology platform has several characteristics that appeal to physicians, including its ease of use, the improved compliance it enables through its integrated systems and the automated, integrated workflow it provides for patients’ delivery of care. Additionally, AdaptHealth’s e-prescribing capabilities enhance transparency and reduce transcription and other errors. AdaptHealth believes that patients are also better served due to the efficiency from time of order to delivery and the seamless integration across points of care enabled by AdaptHealth’s platform. The integrated system also provides AdaptHealth management with critical information in a timely manner, allowing them to track performance levels company wide. On February 1, 2021, AdaptHealth acquired AeroCare Holdings, Inc. ("AeroCare”). Subsequent to the acquisition of AeroCare, AdaptHealth replaced its mobile delivery software technology provided by a third party with AeroCare’s proprietary mobile delivery technology called OTL. This technology has allowed AdaptHealth to add many features to its existing technology, such as delivery notification, patient satisfaction applications and referral source notifications. This application, combined with AdaptHealth’s data warehouse and evolving data lake, has allowed AdaptHealth to build out a 360-degree view of its patients and activities, and to ultimately act as a fundamental component of the operating system of AdaptHealth. AdaptHealth has formed close relationships with its third-party software providers, including Brightree, and Parachute Health, to optimize its HME workflow. An example of this optimization is AdaptHealth’s automated point-of-delivery technology, which tracks AdaptHealth’s drivers and produces paperless, secure delivery tickets which are uploaded directly to the patient’s file and available immediately on an enterprise-wide basis. In addition, to address ongoing and growing threats related to cyberattacks, AdaptHealth continues to deploy market leading defense tools to protect and secure its networks and data. Revenue Cycle Management. AdaptHealth’s revenue cycle management and billing processes have both manual and computerized elements that are designed to maintain the integrity of revenue and accounts receivable. Third-party payors that can accommodate electronic claims submission, such as Medicare, certain state Medicaid payors and many commercial insurance payors, are billed electronically on a daily basis. For other payors, who are unable to accept electronic submissions, AdaptHealth generates paper claims and invoices. AdaptHealth contracts with several business process outsourcing providers to provide certain billing and administrative functions related to revenue cycle management. These providers are based in India and the Philippines and provide AdaptHealth with the ability to scale its workforce in a cost-effective manner. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 3,000 full-time equivalent personnel were provided to AdaptHealth under such arrangements. Sales and Marketing Sales activities are generally carried out by AdaptHealth’s full-time sales representatives with assistance from on-site liaisons in certain markets who interact directly with hospital discharge coordinators and patients. AdaptHealth’s sales team works closely with AdaptHealth’s trained respiratory therapists in carrying out their daily sales activities. AdaptHealth primarily acquires new patients through referrals. Sources of referrals include acute care hospitals, sleep laboratories, pulmonologist offices, skilled nursing facilities and hospice operators, among others. AdaptHealth’s sales representatives maintain continual contact with medical professionals across these facilities. AdaptHealth believes that its relationships with its referral sources are strong and that these entities will continue to be a source of organic growth through new patients. While AdaptHealth views its referral sources as fundamental to its business, no single referral source accounted for a material amount of its annual net revenue as of December 31, 2021. 6 Table of Contents Acquisitions Continuing to grow through accretive acquisitions is a key element of AdaptHealth’s growth strategy, and AdaptHealth continuously reviews its pipeline of potential acquisition candidates. AdaptHealth maintains a dedicated M&A integration team and leverages its scalable front-end and back-office technology platform to facilitate acquisition integration to help realize short-term cost saving synergies and longer-term revenue growth synergies. During the year ended December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth completed acquisitions involving 23 companies for aggregate consideration of approximately $2.9 billion (excluding amounts related to contingent consideration), primarily from the acquisition of AeroCare. For the year ended December 31, 2020, AdaptHealth completed acquisitions involving 22 companies for aggregate consideration of approximately $914 million (excluding amounts related to contingent consideration). Suppliers AdaptHealth purchases home healthcare equipment, medical devices and supplies from a variety of suppliers. AdaptHealth’s sleep therapy equipment and supplies are primarily provided by three suppliers, its mobility and home services products (such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers and commodes) are principally supplied by two suppliers and its diabetes services products/CGM products are primarily provided by two suppliers. As discussed in more detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors, on June 14, 2021, AdaptHealth received notice from Philips Respironics ("Philips”) that certain ventilator, BiPAP, and CPAP devices would be included in a Philips voluntary recall due to potential health risks to patients. Currently, it is not possible to purchase these ventilators, Bi-PAP, or CPAP devices from Philips, which has led to shortages in the supply chain. While AdaptHealth has continued to work with Philips regarding this matter, other suppliers were unable to meet the strong patient demand for these products, which has materially affected AdaptHealth’s ability to service patient demand for these devices. It is unclear how long the potential shortages could last, but if the inability to purchase these products continues for an extended period of time, the impact could continue to materially and adversely affect AdaptHealth’s business and results of operations. Facilities AdaptHealth does not own any properties and leases its headquarters facility located at 220 West Germantown Pike, Suite 250, Plymouth Meeting, PA. As of December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth serviced approximately 3.8 million patients annually across all 50 states and performed approximately 32,000 equipment and supply deliveries a day through its network of 757 locations in 47 states. Full-service locations are typically up to approximately 5,000 square feet and are usually a combination of office and warehouse space. Many of these facilities are accredited to provide patient services, and their adjacent warehouse space is used for storage of adequate supplies of equipment and accessories for such patient services. AdaptHealth believes that these facilities are adequate to meet its current needs and expects to add additional facilities in connection with its growth strategies. AdaptHealth believes that such additional space, when required, will be available on commercially reasonable terms, consistent with historical cost trends. Human Capital Resources As of December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth had approximately 10,700 employees. AdaptHealth’s human capital resources objectives include attracting and retaining highly motivated, well-qualified employees. AdaptHealth’s compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified employees and executives. AdaptHealth uses a mix of competitive salaries and other benefits to attract and retain employees and executives. AdaptHealth believes that relations between its management and employees are good, and it is committed to inclusion and policies and procedures to maintain a safe work environment. The health and safety of AdaptHealth’s employees, patients and customers are of primary concern. During the COVID-19 pandemic, AdaptHealth has taken significant steps to protect its workforce including but not limited to, working remotely, introducing contact-free operational procedures, procuring personal protective equipment, communicating hygiene and cleaning protocols, and implementing mandatory face-covering usage, self-monitoring processes, and social distancing protocols consistent with guidelines issued by federal, state and local law. 7 Table of Contents Diversity and Inclusion AdaptHealth’s values of belonging, inclusion and diversity for success enables it to unlock the strengths of its employees to transform healthcare and improve lives. Current strategic key initiatives include the formation of AdaptHealth’s Diversity and Inclusion Council, learning and development opportunities around the concepts of leading inclusively, inclusion in the workforce and unconscious bias, and talent acquisition efforts around a sourcing and hiring competitive edge strategy. AdaptHealth places a high value on inclusion-building initiatives that create opportunities around cultural awareness and social learnings; this is largely accomplished through engaging employees in its Diversity and Inclusion Council, which is supported by employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences who share a common interest in professional development, improving corporate culture and delivering sustained business results. Talent Development and Retention Building and strengthening AdaptHealth’s talent pipeline is imperative to its success. AdaptHealth’s approach to talent and performance is designed to ensure employees and managers have regular feedback conversations about performance goals and development, to enable its high-performance culture, and to create an environment where it achieves its strategy. AdaptHealth has career and development pathways designed for specific roles in consultation with operational management and human resources. Competition The HME market is fragmented and highly competitive. AdaptHealth competes with other large national providers, including Apria Healthcare, Lincare and Rotech; regional providers, including DASCO Home Medical Equipment, Binson’s Medical Equipment, Inc., Norco, Inc. and Protech Home Medical Corp.; and product-specific providers, including Breg, Inc., Byram Healthcare Centers, Inc., Inogen, Inc., Acelity L.P., CCS Medical, US Medical and Edgepark, as well as over 6,000 local organizations. In addition, non-HME providers, including CVS, Amazon and certain manufacturers of HME equipment are considering entering or expanding their presence in the HME market. Consolidation of the HME market is a continuing trend, as required technology investments and reduced reimbursements put financial pressure on smaller providers. Larger HME providers with integrated technology and automated processes are generally better positioned to gain market share and more attractive vendor pricing. Competitive bidding also emphasizes the importance of relationships with both the payors and referral sources. Because payors typically select a limited number of exclusive suppliers, and physicians typically refer based on timely delivery and consistency, relationships with both are critical to the success of competitors in the market. AdaptHealth believes that the most important competitive factors in the regional and local markets are: ● Reputation with referral sources, including local physicians and hospital-based professionals; ● Service quality and efficient, responsive referral process; ● Differentiated technology platform that provides a superior physician and patient experience; ● Comprehensive offering across the home medical equipment space; ● Broad network of payor contracts and regional insurers; ● Overall ease of doing business; and ● Quality of patient care, including clinical expertise. AdaptHealth believes that it competes favorably with competitors on the basis of these and other factors. 8 Table of Contents Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, AdaptHealth is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business that cover a wide range of matters. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Accounting for Contingencies, AdaptHealth records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. AdaptHealth reviews its accruals at least quarterly and adjusts accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. At this time, AdaptHealth has no material accruals related to lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings. While there can be no assurance, based on AdaptHealth’s evaluation of information currently available, AdaptHealth’s management believes any liability that may ultimately result from resolution of such loss contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth’s financial conditions or results of operations. However, AdaptHealth’s assessment may be affected by limited information. Accordingly, AdaptHealth’s assessment may change in the future based upon availability of new information and further developments in the proceedings of such matters. The results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible. On July 25, 2017, AdaptHealth Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AdaptHealth Holdings”), was served with a subpoena by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ("EDPA”) pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3486 to produce certain audit records and internal communications regarding ventilator billing. The investigation focused on billing practices regarding one payor that contracted for bundled payments for certain ventilators. AdaptHealth Holdings has cooperated with investigators and, through agreement with the EDPA, has submitted all information requested in AdaptHealth’s possession. An independent third party was retained by AdaptHealth Holdings that identified overpayments and underpayments for ventilator billings related to the payor, and a remittance was sent to reconcile that account. On October 3, 2019, AdaptHealth received a follow-up civil investigative demand from the EDPA regarding a document previously produced to the EDPA and patients included in the review by the independent third party. AdaptHealth has responded to the EDPA and supplemented its production as requested with any relevant documents in AdaptHealth’s possession. During subsequent communications, the EDPA indicated to AdaptHealth that the investigation remained ongoing. The EDPA also requested additional information regarding certain patient services and claims refunds processed by AdaptHealth in 2017. AdaptHealth produced this information in coordination with the EDPA. The EDPA has also raised questions regarding other aspects of ventilator billing. While AdaptHealth cannot provide any assurance as to whether the EDPA will seek additional information or pursue this matter further, it does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth. In March 2019, prior to its acquisition by AdaptHealth, AeroCare was served with a civil investigative demand ("CID”) issued by the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky ("WDKY”). The CID seeks to investigate allegations that AeroCare improperly billed, or caused others to improperly bill, for oxygen tank contents that were not delivered to beneficiaries. The WDKY has requested documents related to such oxygen tank content billing as well as other categories of information. AeroCare has cooperated with the WDKY and has produced documents and provided explanations of its billing practices. In September 2020, the WDKY indicated the investigation includes alleged violations of the federal False Claims Act and as well as alleged violations of state Medicaid false claims acts in ten states. AeroCare has cooperated fully with the investigation and has indicated to the WDKY that concerns raised do not accurately identify Medicare coverage criteria and that state Medicaid coverage requirements generally do not provide for separate reimbursement for portable gaseous oxygen contents in the circumstances at issue. While AdaptHealth cannot provide any assurance as to whether the WDKY will seek additional information or pursue this matter further, it does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth. On June 28, 2019, Solara Medical Supplies LLC ("Solara”), which was acquired by AdaptHealth in July 2020, determined that an unauthorized third-party gained access to a limited number of employee email accounts beginning in April 2019, as a result of a phishing email campaign. Solara undertook a comprehensive review of the accounts to identify what personal information was stored within the accounts and to whom that information related. In connection with the incident, Solara notified potentially affected individuals and reported this incident to law enforcement and relevant state and federal regulators. Solara was a defendant in a class action regarding the incident in federal court. In October 2021, the parties tentatively agreed to a settlement for a payment of $5.1 million, which will be covered in full 9 Table of Contents by insurance and an escrow established at the time of the Solara acquisition. On January 25, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Preliminary Approval of the settlement. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a liability of $5.1 million and a corresponding indemnification asset, which are included in other current liabilities and other current assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On July 29, 2021, Robert Charles Faille Jr., a purported shareholder of AdaptHealth, filed a purported class action complaint against AdaptHealth and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Complaint”). The Complaint purports to be asserted on behalf of a class of persons who purchased AdaptHealth stock between November 11, 2019 and July 16, 2021. The Complaint generally alleges that AdaptHealth and certain of its current and former officers violated federal securities laws by making allegedly false and misleading statements and/or failing to disclose material information regarding the Company’s organic growth trajectory. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages. On October 14, 2021, the Delaware County Employees Retirement System and the Bucks County Employees Retirement System were named Lead Plaintiffs. Pursuant to the scheduling order, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 22, 2021 (the "Consolidated Complaint”), which asserts substantially the same claim, but adds a number of current and former directors of the Company as additional defendants and a new theory of recovery based on AdaptHealth’s alleged failure to disclose information concerning AdaptHealth’s former Co-CEO’s alleged tax fraud arising from certain past private activity. On January 20, 2022, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. Lead Plaintiffs’ opposition to defendants’ motion is due on March 21, 2022, and defendants’ reply is due April 15, 2022. AdaptHealth intends to vigorously defend against the allegations contained in the Consolidated Complaint, but there can be no assurance that the defense will be successful. On December 6, 2021, a putative shareholder of AdaptHealth, Carol Hessler, filed a shareholder derivative complaint against certain current and former directors and officers of AdaptHealth in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Derivative Complaint”). The Derivative Complaint generally alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to AdaptHealth by allegedly causing or allowing misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding AdaptHealth’s organic growth and AdaptHealth’s former Co- CEO’s alleged criminal activity, failing to maintain an adequate system of oversight, disclosure controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting and due diligence into AdaptHealth’s management team, and engaging in insider trading. The Derivative Complaint also alleges claims for waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. Finally, the Derivative Complaint alleges that certain of the individual defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by allegedly negligently issuing, causing to be issued, and participating in the issuance of materially misleading statements to stockholders in AdaptHealth’s Proxy Statements on Schedule DEF 14A in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 3, 2021, and the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on July 27, 2021. The Derivative Complaint seeks, among other things, an award of money damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations contained in the Derivative Complaint, but there can be no assurance that the defense will be successful. Government Regulation The federal government and all states in which AdaptHealth currently operates regulate various aspects of AdaptHealth’s business. In particular, AdaptHealth’s operations are subject to federal laws that regulate the reimbursement of its products and services under various government programs and that are designed to prevent fraud and abuse. AdaptHealth’s operations are also subject to state laws governing, among other things, pharmacies, nursing services, medical equipment suppliers and certain types of home health activities. State regulators may also determine that telephone marketing of AdaptHealth products and services to patients fall within state regulation of telemarketing. Certain of AdaptHealth’s employees are subject to state laws and regulations governing the licensure and professional practice of respiratory therapy, pharmacy and nursing. AdaptHealth maintains a Compliance Program that is designed to meet the guidelines set forth by HHS, and provides ongoing compliance training designed to keep AdaptHealth’s officers, directors and employees well-educated and up-to-date regarding developments on relevant topics and to emphasize AdaptHealth’s policy of strict compliance. 10 Table of Contents Federal and state laws require that AdaptHealth obtain facility and other regulatory licenses and accreditation and that AdaptHealth enroll as a supplier with federal and state health programs. As a healthcare provider, AdaptHealth is subject to extensive regulation to prevent fraud and abuse and laws regulating reimbursement under various government programs. The marketing, billing, documenting and other practices of healthcare companies are all subject to government scrutiny. To ensure compliance with Medicare, Medicaid and other regulations, regional health insurance carriers and state agencies often conduct audits and request customer records and other documents to support AdaptHealth’s claims submitted for payment of services rendered to customers. Similarly, government agencies and their contractors periodically open investigations and obtain information from healthcare providers pursuant to the legal process. Violations of federal and state regulations can result in severe criminal, civil and administrative penalties and sanctions, including disqualification from Medicare and other reimbursement programs, which could have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. Numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including HIPAA and the HITECH Act, govern the collection, dissemination, security, use and confidentiality of patient-identifiable health information or personal information. As part of AdaptHealth’s provision of, and billing for, healthcare equipment and services, AdaptHealth is required to collect and maintain patient-identifiable health information. In addition, various federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies, or self-regulatory organizations, may expand current laws or regulations, enact new laws or regulations or issue revised rules or guidance regarding privacy, data protection and consumer protection. For instance, the CCPA became effective on January 1, 2020. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used by requiring covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers (as that term is broadly defined) and provide such consumers new ways to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. Although there are limited exemptions for protected health information and the CCPA’s implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, the CCPA may increase AdaptHealth’s compliance costs and potential liability. Many similar privacy laws have been proposed at the federal level and in other states. New health information standards, whether implemented pursuant to HIPAA, the HITECH Act, congressional action or otherwise, could have a significant effect on the manner in which AdaptHealth handles healthcare-related data and communicate with payers, and the cost of complying with these standards could be significant. If AdaptHealth does not comply with existing or new laws and regulations related to patient health information, it could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting existing federal and state consumer protection laws to impose evolving standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of health-related and other personal information. Courts may also adopt the standards for fair information practices promulgated by the FTC, which concern consumer notice, choice, security and access. Consumer protection laws require AdaptHealth to publish statements that describe how it handles personal information and choices individuals may have about the way AdaptHealth handles their personal information. If such information that AdaptHealth publishes is considered untrue, it may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Furthermore, according to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act. Communications with AdaptHealth’s patients are also subject to laws and regulations governing communications, including the TCPA, the CAN-SPAM Act, additional fax regulations under the Junk Fax Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule and Medicare regulations. Healthcare is an area of rapid regulatory change. Changes in the laws and regulations and new interpretations of existing laws and regulations may affect permissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business, and reimbursement amounts paid by federal, state and other third-party payers. AdaptHealth cannot predict the future of federal, state and local regulation or legislation, including Medicare and Medicaid statutes and regulations, or possible changes in national healthcare policies. Future legislative and regulatory changes could have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. 11 Table of Contents Implemented Regulation As a provider of home oxygen, respiratory and other chronic therapy equipment to the home healthcare market, AdaptHealth participates in Medicare Part B, the Supplementary Medical Insurance Program, which was established by the Social Security Act of 1965. Providers of home oxygen and other respiratory therapy services and equipment have historically been heavily dependent on Medicare reimbursement due to the high proportion of elderly persons suffering from respiratory disease. Durable medical equipment, including oxygen equipment, is traditionally reimbursed by Medicare based on fixed fee schedules. Impact of the ACA and MIPPA. The ACA, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 ("MIPPA”), the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 ("SCHIP Extension Act”), the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 ("DRA”) and the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 ("MMA”), contain provisions that directly impacted reimbursement for the primary respiratory and other durable medical equipment ("DME”) products provided by AdaptHealth. In recent years, the U.S. Congress and certain state legislatures have considered and passed a number of laws that are intended to result in significant changes to the healthcare industry. For example, there have been numerous political and legal efforts to expand, repeal, replace or modify the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended ("ACA”), since the law’s enactment, some of which have been successful, in part, in modifying the law, as well as court challenges to the constitutionality of the law. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the latest such case on June 17, 2021, when the Court held that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the ACA’s requirement to obtain minimum essential health insurance coverage or the individual mandate and dismissed the case without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA. Federal regulatory agencies continue to modify ACA regulations and guidance related to the ACA, often as a result of presidential directives. The ultimate outcome of efforts to expand the ACA, substantially amend its provisions, or change funding for the ACA is unknown. Though we cannot predict what, if any, reform proposals will be adopted, healthcare reform and legislation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any future efforts to challenge, repeal or replace the ACA or implement alternative reform measures may result in reduced funding for state Medicaid programs, lower numbers of insured individuals, reduced coverage for insured individuals, and could impact providers and other healthcare industry participants and cause AdaptHealth’s revenues to decrease to the extent such legislation reduces Medicaid and/or Medicare reimbursement rates. MIPPA delayed the implementation of a Medicare competitive bidding program for oxygen equipment and certain other DME items that was scheduled to begin on July 1, 2008, and instituted a 9.5% price reduction nationwide for these items as of January 1, 2009. The SCHIP Extension Act reduced Medicare reimbursement amounts for covered Part B drugs, including inhalation drugs that AdaptHealth provides, beginning April 1, 2008. DRA provisions negatively impacted reimbursement for oxygen equipment beginning in 2006 through the implementation of a capped rental arrangement. MMA changed the pricing formulas used to establish payment rates for inhalation drug therapies resulting in significantly reduced reimbursement beginning in 2005, established a competitive acquisition program for DME, established a RAC program, which implemented a new method for recovery of Medicare overpayments by utilizing private companies operating on a contingent fee basis to identify and recoup Medicare overpayments, and implemented quality standards and accreditation requirements for DME suppliers. The RACs are empowered to audit claims submitted by healthcare providers and overpayments identified by the RACs can be recouped from future payments, including in cases where the reimbursement rules are unclear or subject to differing interpretations. This activity, as well as the activity of intermediaries and others involved in government reimbursement, may include changes in long-standing interpretations of reimbursement rules, which could adversely impact AdaptHealth’s future financial condition and results of operations. In October 2008, CMS established Zone Program Integrity Contractors ("ZPICs”) and Unified Program Integrity Contractors ("UPICs”), who are responsible for ensuring the integrity of all Medicare-related claims. The ZPICs and UPICs assumed the responsibilities previously held by Medicare’s Program Safeguard Contractors. These legislative and regulatory provisions, as currently in effect have and will continue to adversely impact AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. Impact of Competitive Bidding. In December 2003, MMA was signed into law. The MMA legislation directly impacted reimbursement for the primary respiratory and other DME products that AdaptHealth provides. Among other 12 Table of Contents things, MMA established a competitive acquisition program for DME that was expected to commence in 2008, but was subsequently delayed by further legislation. MMA instructed CMS to establish and implement programs under which competitive acquisition areas would be established throughout the United States for purposes of awarding contracts for the furnishing of competitively priced items of DME, including oxygen equipment. The program was initially intended to be implemented in phases such that competition under the program would occur in nine of the largest metropolitan statistical areas ("MSAs”) in the first year and an additional 70 of the largest MSAs in a second, subsequent round of bidding. The second round was subsequently expanded to include 91 MSAs. For each competitive acquisition area, CMS is required to conduct a competition under which providers submit bids to supply certain covered items of DME. Successful bidders are expected to meet certain program quality standards in order to be awarded a contract, and only successful bidders can supply the covered items to Medicare beneficiaries in the respective acquisition area (there are, however, regulations in place that allow non-contracted suppliers to continue to provide equipment and services to their existing customers at the new prices determined through the bidding process). Competitive bidding contracts are expected to be re-bid at least every three years. CMS is required to award contracts to multiple entities submitting bids in each area for an item or service but has the authority to limit the number of contractors in a competitive acquisition area to the number it determines to be necessary to meet projected demand. All Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, & Supplies ("DMEPOS”) Competitive Bidding Program contracts expired on December 31, 2018, and, as a result, there is a temporary gap in the entire DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program that CMS stated would last until December 31, 2020 and be replaced by a single round of competition named "Round 2021” which consolidated the competitive bidding areas ("CBAs”) included in the Round 1 2017 and Round 2 Recompete DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Programs. Round 2021 contracts became effective on January 1, 2021 and extend through December 31, 2023. CMS included 16 product categories in Round 2021. On April 10, 2020, CMS announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it removed the non-invasive ventilators product category from the Round 2021 DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. On October 27, 2020, CMS announced that it would not award competitive bid contracts in 13 of the 15 remaining product categories due to a failure to achieve expected savings, and that contract awards would only be made for off-the-shelf ("OTS”) knee and back braces. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, net revenue generated with respect to providing OTS knee and back braces (excluding amounts generated in non-rural and rural non-bid areas) were not material. AdaptHealth expects to obtain contracts for OTS knee and back braces, and does not expect the single payment amounts imposed by CMS under such contracts to have a material impact on AdaptHealth. The competitive bidding process (which is expected to be re-bid every three years) has historically put pressure on the amount AdaptHealth is reimbursed in the markets in which it exists, as well as in areas that are not subject to the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. The rates required to win future competitive bids could continue to depress reimbursement rates. AdaptHealth will continue to monitor developments regarding the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. While AdaptHealth cannot predict the outcome of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program on its business in the future nor the Medicare payment rates that will be in effect in future years for the items subjected to competitive bidding, the program may materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. CMS’s decision to cancel the 2021 competitive bidding program is a significant development for AdaptHealth. CMS is proposing to reimburse all HME other than off-the-shelf back and knee braces at current rates, to schedule the next round of competitive bidding in 2024, and to make the higher blended rates in rural territory permanent. In total, AdaptHealth believes these changes to the competitive bidding program are significantly positive to the business, and AdaptHealth expects the rate changes for the off-the-shelf back and knee braces to be immaterial to AdaptHealth. Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractor. In order to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries only receive medically necessary and appropriate items and services, the Medicare program has adopted a number of documentation requirements. For example, certain provisions under CMS guidance manuals, local coverage determinations, and the DME Medicare Administrative Contractors ("MAC”) Supplier Manuals provide that clinical information from the "patient’s medical record” is required to justify the initial and ongoing medical necessity for the provision of DME. Some DME MACs, CMS staff and other government contractors have recently taken the position, among other things, that the "patient’s medical record” refers not to documentation maintained by the DME supplier but 13 Table of Contents instead to documentation maintained by the patient’s physician, healthcare facility or other clinician, and that clinical information created by the DME supplier’s personnel and confirmed by the patient’s physician is not sufficient to establish medical necessity. If treating physicians do not adequately document, among other things, their diagnoses and plans of care, the risks that AdaptHealth will be subject to audits and payment denials are likely to increase. Moreover, auditors’ interpretations of these policies are inconsistent and subject to individual interpretation, leading to significant increases in individual supplier and industry-wide perceived error rates. High error rates could lead to further audit activity and regulatory burdens and could result in AdaptHealth making significant refunds and other payments to Medicare and other government programs. Accordingly, AdaptHealth’s future revenues and cash flows from government healthcare programs may be reduced. Private payors also may conduct audits and may take legal action to recover alleged overpayments. AdaptHealth could be adversely affected in some of the markets in which it operates if the auditing payor alleges substantial overpayments were made to AdaptHealth due to coding errors or lack of documentation to support medical necessity determinations. AdaptHealth cannot currently predict the adverse impact these measures might have on its financial condition and results of operations, but such impact could be material. Federal and state budgetary and other cost-containment pressures will continue to impact the home respiratory care industry. AdaptHealth cannot predict whether new federal and state budgetary proposals will be adopted or the effect, if any, such proposals would have on its financial condition and results of operations.

Information on our website or any other website is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute a part of, this Annual Report. Item 1A. Risk Factors We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks. The following discussion highlights some of these risks and others are discussed elsewhere in this report. These and other risks could materially and adversely affect our business, revenue, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. Risks Related to Our Business and Industry The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the global attempt to contain it may harm our business, results of operations and ability to execute on our business plan. The global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the various attempts to contain it have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. In response to government mandates, health care advisories and otherwise responding to employee, customer and supplier concerns, AdaptHealth has altered certain aspects of its operations. AdaptHealth’s workforce has had to spend a significant amount of time working from home, which has not significantly impacted their productivity. While many of AdaptHealth’s operations can be performed remotely, there is no guarantee that AdaptHealth will remain as effective while its employees are working remotely because its team is dispersed, many employees have had additional personal needs to attend to (such as looking after children as a result of school closures or family who become sick), and employees have or may become sick themselves and be unable to work. AdaptHealth’s suppliers and vendors have similarly had their operations altered. To the extent the resulting 14 Table of Contents economic disruption continues, AdaptHealth could see some vendors go out of business, resulting in supply constraints and increased costs or delays in meeting the needs of its patients. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it continue to impact AdaptHealth’s business, operations and financial results will continue to depend on numerous other evolving factors that AdaptHealth may not be able to accurately predict, including: ● the duration and scope of the pandemic, including disproportionate impacts on AdaptHealth’s patient population, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, vaccination campaigns and containment actions, or any perceived limitations of or setbacks in these efforts; ● governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; ● the availability and cost to access the capital markets; ● our ability to pursue, diligence, finance and integrate acquisitions; ● our ability to comply with financial and operating covenants in our debt and operating lease agreements; ● potential for goodwill impairment charges; ● our ability to comply with the reporting and other requirements necessary to retain the CARES Act provider relief funds we received; ● the effect on our patients, physician and facility referral sources and demand for and ability to pay for medical services; ● disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to travel and to work, including as a result of their health and wellbeing; ● availability of third-party providers to whom we outsource portions of our internal business functions, including billing and administrative functions relating to revenue cycle management; and ● increased cybersecurity risks as a result of remote working conditions. During the COVID-19 crisis, AdaptHealth may not be able to provide the same level of service and products that its patients, physicians and facility referral sources are used to, which could negatively impact their perception of AdaptHealth’s products or services. Furthermore, given increased government expenditures associated with its COVID-19 response, AdaptHealth could see increased government obligations which could negatively impact its results of operations. AdaptHealth continues to actively monitor the issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions that alter its business operations, as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities, or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, and stockholders. It is not clear what the potential effects any such further alterations or modifications may have on AdaptHealth’s business, including the effects on its customers, suppliers or vendors, or on its financial results. The potential effects of COVID-19 could also heighten the risks disclosed in many of AdaptHealth’s risk factors that are included below, including as a result of, but not limited to, the factors listed above. AdaptHealth’s reliance on relatively few suppliers for the majority of its patient service equipment and supplies could adversely affect AdaptHealth’s ability to operate. AdaptHealth currently relies on a relatively small number of suppliers to provide it with the majority of its patient service equipment and supplies. Significant price increases, or disruptions in the ability to obtain such equipment and supplies from existing suppliers, may force AdaptHealth to use alternative suppliers. Additionally, any new excise taxes imposed on manufacturers of certain medical equipment could be passed on to customers, such as AdaptHealth. Such manufacturers may be forced to make other changes to their products or manufacturing processes that are 15 Table of Contents unacceptable to AdaptHealth, resulting in a need to change suppliers. Any change in suppliers AdaptHealth uses could cause delays in the delivery of such products and possible losses in revenue, which could adversely affect AdaptHealth’s results of operations. In addition, alternative suppliers may not be available, or may not provide their products and services at similar or favorable prices. If AdaptHealth cannot obtain the patient service equipment and supplies it currently uses, or alternatives at similar or favorable prices, AdaptHealth’s ability to provide such products may be severely impacted, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, capital resources and liquidity. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted manufacturing in all of the regions where AdaptHealth’s suppliers manufacture their products. While the global closures and limitations on movement related to COVID-19 were temporary, and while such closures, limitations and related impacts have not materially disrupted AdaptHealth’s supply chain to date, such supply chain disruption remains possible and the financial impact of any such disruption related to COVID-19 cannot be estimated at this time. Should such closures and limitations on movement related to COVID-19 be reinstated or continue for an extended period of time, the impact on our supply chain could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. On June 14, 2021, AdaptHealth received notice from Philips that certain ventilator, BiPAP, and CPAP devices would be included in a Philips voluntary recall due to potential health risks to patients. The polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam, which is used to reduce sound and vibration in these affected devices, may break down and potentially enter the device’s air pathway and may off-gas certain chemicals. If this occurs, black debris from the foam or certain chemicals released into the device’s air pathway may be inhaled or swallowed by the person using the device. Patients using these devices have been instructed to talk with their health care provider and doctor regarding use on a suitable treatment for their condition. Since June 14, 2021, AdaptHealth has worked with affected patients to register their device on the Philips recall website and AdaptHealth’s management team has devoted, and will likely continue to devote, substantial time and resources to coordinating recall-related activity and to supporting AdaptHealth’s home healthcare patients’ needs. AdaptHealth cannot predict the potential legal, regulatory, and financial risks that may arise out of the recall. It is possible that some patients will discontinue use of their device, which could affect AdaptHealth’s ability to continue billing for service. AdaptHealth has been named in and may be subject to future litigation related to the recall, including but not limited to individual and putative class action claims related to personal injury for devices affected by the recall as well as claims regarding repair and replacement of devices affected by the recall. AdaptHealth cannot predict what additional actions will be required of AdaptHealth by the FDA or other state or federal agencies related to the recall. Currently, it is not possible to purchase these ventilators, Bi-PAP, or CPAP devices from Philips, which has led to shortages in the supply chain, and which has materially affected AdaptHealth’s ability to service patient demand for these devices. This recall may cause AdaptHealth to incur significant costs, some or all of which may not be recoverable from the product manufacturer. The recall may also materially negatively affect AdaptHealth’s business and results of operations as a result of patients not using their impacted devices, current shortages in the availability of both replacement devices for impacted patients and new devices for new patients, patient hesitancy to use respiratory devices generally or other reasons. It is unclear how long the potential shortages could last, but if the inability to purchase these products continues for an extended period of time, the impact could materially and adversely affect AdaptHealth’s business and results of operations. AdaptHealth is closely monitoring the impact of the recall on AdaptHealth’s business and the uncertainty surrounding the availability and supply of devices due to the recall. Supply chain and labor disruptions could negatively impact AdaptHealth’s businesses. Many companies recently have experienced increased supply chain and labor challenges. Materials, equipment and labor shortages, shipping, logistics and other delays and other supply chain and related disruptions, whether due to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, have made it more difficult and costly for AdaptHealth to obtain products or services from third parties. If these types of disruptions continue to occur, it would have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Continued labor shortages have driven a significant increase in competition throughout the industry to attract and retain talent and have also led to increased labor costs. 16 Table of Contents While AdaptHealth seeks to mitigate any cost increases, labor impacts and supply chain delays and shortages, these efforts may not be successful and AdaptHealth may experience adverse impacts due to such factors. AdaptHealth cannot predict the extent of these current trends or other future increases in operating costs. To the extent such costs continue to increase, AdaptHealth may be prevented, in whole or in part, from passing such cost increases through to its existing and prospective customers, or AdaptHealth’s customers may seek other competitive sources due to supply chain delays, which could have a material adverse impact on AdaptHealth’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Recent federal, state and private party mandates or standards requiring vaccination or testing of AdaptHealth employees could adversely affect AdaptHealth. AdaptHealth is subject to federal and state regulations regarding mandatory vaccination and/or COVID-19 testing of its employees. In addition, certain health system or other referral sources have imposed requirements which mandate certain AdaptHealth employees to be vaccinated or tested in order service patients of such entities. For example, on September 9, 2021, President Biden announced a comprehensive national strategy for addressing the COVID-19 pandemic including multiple directives and actions targeted at federal, private-sector, and healthcare employers. The strategy includes regulatory action from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA”) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS”) in addition to two Executive Orders, all of which include sweeping vaccination and COVID-19 safety mandates. Under Executive Order 14042 (the "EO 14042”) and guidance from the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force ("Task Force”) prime contractors and subcontractors working on or in connection with a federal contract or a contract-like instrument, including those for commercial items are subject to a vaccine mandate and CDC workplace safety measures. Unless an accommodation applies, covered contractors are required to have their employees vaccinated for COVID-19. Once implemented into covered contracts, prime and subcontractors will need to comply with these requirements for the entire contract lifecycle, including all option and extension periods. Further, any new guidance issued by the Task Force will be incorporated by reference through these contract clauses and will automatically apply to covered contractors. However, on December 7, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia enjoined EO 14042 nationwide. EO 14042 is currently pending appellate court review and the Task Force continues to indicate there will be no enforcement of any of the EO 14042 requirements absent further notice. In addition to the federal contractor mandate, on November 5, 2021, OSHA published an emergency temporary standard ("ETS”) requiring employers with 100 or more employees either to establish, implement and enforce (1) a written mandatory vaccination policy; or (2) a written policy that allows employees to choose either to be fully vaccinated or provide proof of regular COVID-19 testing and wear face coverings (if not fully vaccinated). The ETS was effective immediately and required employers to comply with most provisions by December 5, 2021, except for requirements for testing for employees who are not fully vaccinated, which were to take effect on January 4, 2022. However, on November 6, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted an emergency motion to stay enforcement of the ETS. Following additional appellate court review in both the Fifth and Sixth Circuits, the ETS went before the Supreme Court. On January 13, 2022, the Supreme Court held that OSHA did not have the authority to issue the ETS and on January 26, 2022 OHSA withdrew the ETS as a proposed emergency temporary standard. Though it has been withdrawn as an emergency temporary standard, the ETS remains a proposed regulation and may be issued through notice-and-comment rulemaking in the coming months. Additionally, on November 5, 2021, CMS published an interim final rule with comment titled "Omnibus COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination” (the "IFC”). The IFC establishes COVID-19 vaccination requirements for staff at fifteen (15) types of Medicare- and Medicaid- certified providers/suppliers, including but not limited to hospitals, critical access hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, hospices, home infusion therapy suppliers, and skilled nursing facilities/nursing facilities. The IFC does not currently apply vaccination requirements to DMEPOS suppliers. A nationwide injunction was issued on November 30, 2021 staying enforcement of the IFC. On December 15, 2021, the injunction was lifted for all but 25 states and on January 13, 2022, the injunction was lifted for the remaining 25 states, with the exception of Texas. On January 19, 2022, following dismissal of the lawsuit in Texas, the IFC became enforceable nationwide. Following these rulings, CMS issued new deadlines for compliance based on the dates each of the injunctions were lifted. 17 Table of Contents The proposed requirements will be enforced through the existing survey process that applies to certified providers and suppliers, including the potential for imposition of penalties through that existing process. While the IFC is effective immediately, implementation of the requirements of the IFC is divided into two phases - Phase 1 and Phase 2, which have different compliance deadlines for different groups of states. Phase 1 requires that, by either January 27, 2022, February 14, 2022, or February 22, 2022, each provider/supplier subject to the IFC develop and implement policies and procedures containing the elements described in the IFC and ensure that all staff have either: (i) received at least the first dose of a two dose COVID-19 vaccine or the dose of a single dose COVID-19 vaccine, or (ii) have requested a medical or religious exemption or approval of a temporary delay of vaccination for clinical reasons in accordance with CDC recommendations, prior to providing any care, treatment, or other services. Phase 2 requires that, by either February 28, 2022, March 15, 2022, or March 21, 2022, all applicable staff are fully vaccinated for COVID-19, unless granted an exemption or a temporary delay of vaccination. If AdaptHealth does not comply these new regulations related to COVID-19 vaccination and testing protocols for staff, it could be subject to civil monetary penalties, loss of government contracts, denial of payment of new admissions for facilities, and termination from Medicare and Medicaid participation, and referral to a state enforcement agency for application of its other enforcement remedies. These federal and state mandates, as well additional restrictions imposed by hospital systems or other referrers, could have the effect of increasing employee attrition or retirement and adversely impact the Company’s ability to retain and attract employees concerned about the obligations imposed by such standards or mandates. Additionally, certain parties are currently raising legal challenges in numerous jurisdictions which seek to limit or enjoin these new federal, state, and third-party standards and mandates which create further uncertainty about the potential timing of when or if such standards or restrictions might actually take effect. Depending on the outcome of these legal challenges and the specific provisions of such mandates or standards, if imposed, AdaptHealth may experience labor shortages or increased operating costs which could impact AdaptHealth’s revenue, financial condition and results of operations. AdaptHealth is affected by continuing efforts by private third-party payors to control their costs. If AdaptHealth agrees to lower its reimbursement rates due to pricing pressures from private third-party payors, AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations would likely deteriorate. AdaptHealth derived approximately 61% and 62% of its net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, from third-party private payors. Such payors continually seek to control the cost of providing healthcare services through direct contracts with healthcare providers, increased oversight and greater enrollment of patients in managed care programs and preferred provider organizations. These private payors are increasingly demanding discounted fee structures, including setting reimbursement rates based on Medicare fee schedules or requiring healthcare providers or suppliers to assume a greater degree of financial risk related to patient care. Reimbursement rates under private payor programs may not remain at current levels and may not be sufficient to cover the costs of caring for patients enrolled in such programs, and AdaptHealth may experience a deterioration in pricing flexibility, changes in payor mix and growth in operating expenses in excess of increases in payments by private third-party payors. AdaptHealth may be compelled to lower its prices due to increased pricing pressures, which could adversely impact AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. Changes in governmental or private payor supply replenishment schedules could adversely affect AdaptHealth. AdaptHealth generated approximately 27% and 29% of its net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, through the sale of masks, tubing and other ancillary products related to patients utilizing CPAP devices. Medicare, Medicaid and private payors limit the number of times per year that patients may purchase such supplies. To the extent that any governmental or private payor revises their resupply guidelines to reduce the number of times such supplies can be purchased, such reductions could adversely impact AdaptHealth’s revenue, financial condition and results of operations. 18 Table of Contents AdaptHealth generates a significant portion of its revenue from the provision of sleep therapy equipment and supplies to patients, and AdaptHealth’s success is therefore highly dependent its ability to furnish these items. Approximately 36% and 39% of AdaptHealth’s net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was generated from the provision of sleep therapy equipment and supplies to patients. AdaptHealth’s ability to execute its growth strategy therefore depends upon the adoption by patients, physicians and sleep centers, among others, of AdaptHealth’s sleep therapy equipment and supplies to treat their patients suffering from OSA. There can be no assurance that AdaptHealth will continue to maintain broad acceptance among physicians and patients. Any failure by AdaptHealth to satisfy physician or patient demand or to maintain meaningful market acceptance will harm its business and future prospects. AdaptHealth may be adversely affected by consolidation among health insurers and other industry participants. In recent years, a number of health insurers have merged or increased efforts to consolidate with other non-governmental payors. Insurers are also increasingly pursuing alignment initiatives with healthcare providers. Consolidation within the health insurance industry may result in insurers having increased negotiating leverage and competitive advantages, such as greater access to performance and pricing data. AdaptHealth’s ability to negotiate prices and favorable terms with health insurers in certain markets could be affected negatively as a result of this consolidation. In addition, the shift toward value-based payment models could be accelerated if larger insurers, including those engaging in consolidation activities, find these models to be financially beneficial. There can be no assurance that AdaptHealth will be able to negotiate favorable terms with payors and otherwise respond effectively to the impact of increased consolidation in the payor industry or vertical integration efforts. AdaptHealth’s payor contracts are subject to renegotiation or termination, which could result in a decrease in AdaptHealth’s revenue or profits. The majority of AdaptHealth’s payor contracts are subject to unilateral termination by either party on between 30 and 90 days’ prior written notice. Such contracts are routinely amended (sometimes by unilateral action by payors regarding payment policy), renegotiated, subjected to a bidding process with AdaptHealth’s competitors, or terminated altogether. Sometimes in the renegotiation process, certain lines of business may not be renewed or a payor may enlarge its provider network or otherwise change the way it conducts its business in a way that adversely impacts AdaptHealth’s revenue. In other cases, a payor may reduce its provider network in exchange for lower payment rates. AdaptHealth’s revenue from a payor may also be adversely affected if the payor alters its utilization management expectations and/or administrative procedures for payments and audits, changes its order of preference among the providers to which it refers business or imposes a third-party administrator, network manager or other intermediary. Any reduction in AdaptHealth’s projected revenues as a result of these or other factors could lead to a reduction in AdaptHealth’s revenues. There can be no assurance that AdaptHealth’s payor contracts will not be terminated or altered in ways that are unfavorable to AdaptHealth as a result of renegotiation or such administrative changes. Payors may decide to refer business to their owned provider subsidiaries, such as specialty pharmaceuticals and/or HME networks owned by such payors or by third-party management companies. These activities could materially reduce AdaptHealth’s revenue from these payors. Changes made by payors to the way they cover products supplied by AdaptHealth could have an adverse impact on AdaptHealth’s revenue and operations. Payors that provide coverage for products supplied by AdaptHealth can make changes to their plans and benefit designs that can have an impact on AdaptHealth’s revenue and operations. Some payors have shifted coverage for continuous glucose monitors ("CGM”) from the medical benefit to the pharmacy benefit for their insureds. The impact of changing the benefit can include changes to the types of providers that can provide CGM, increased competition from pharmacies, changes to covered amounts, and changes to patient deductibles. Additionally, including CGM under the pharmacy benefit could allow pharmacy benefit managers to attempt to restrict how beneficiaries obtain CGM, including attempts to shift to specifically contracted providers with reduced reimbursement to the supplier or pharmacy. 19 Table of Contents AdaptHealth cannot predict whether such modifications to plan design or benefits will have an adverse impact on its revenue and operations. If AdaptHealth fails to manage the complex and lengthy reimbursement process, its revenue, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. Because AdaptHealth depends upon reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and third-party payors for a significant majority of its revenues, AdaptHealth’s revenue, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by the reimbursement process, which in the healthcare industry is complex and can involve lengthy delays between the time that services are rendered and the time that the reimbursement amounts are settled. Depending on the payor, AdaptHealth may be required to obtain certain payor-specific documentation from physicians and other healthcare providers before submitting claims for reimbursement. Certain payors have filing deadlines and will not pay claims submitted after such deadlines. AdaptHealth cannot ensure that it will be able to effectively manage the reimbursement process and collect payments for its equipment and services promptly. Failure by AdaptHealth to maintain controls and processes over billing and collections or the deterioration of the financial condition of AdaptHealth’s payors or disputes with third parties could have a significant negative impact on its financial condition and results of operations. The collection of accounts receivable requires constant focus and involvement by management and ongoing enhancements to information systems and billing center operating procedures. There can be no assurance that AdaptHealth will be able to improve upon or maintain its current levels of collectability and days sales outstanding in future periods. Further, some of AdaptHealth’s payors and/or patients may experience financial difficulties, or may otherwise not pay accounts receivable when due, resulting in increased write-offs. If AdaptHealth is unable to properly bill and collect its accounts receivable, its financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected. In addition, from time-to-time AdaptHealth is involved in disputes with various parties, including its payors and their intermediaries regarding their performance of various contractual or regulatory obligations. These disputes sometimes lead to legal and other proceedings and cause AdaptHealth to incur costs or experience delays in collections, increases in its accounts receivable or loss of revenue. In addition, in the event such disputes are not resolved in AdaptHealth’s favor or cause AdaptHealth to terminate its relationships with such parties, there may be an adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operations. If AdaptHealth is unable to maintain or develop relationships with patient referral sources, its growth and profitability could be adversely affected. AdaptHealth’s success depends in large part on referrals from acute care hospitals, sleep laboratories, pulmonologist and endocrinologist offices, skilled nursing facilities, hospice operators and other patient referral sources in the communities served by AdaptHealth. By law, referral sources cannot be contractually obligated to refer patients to any specific provider. In addition, AdaptHealth’s relationships with referral sources are subject to federal and state healthcare laws such as the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law to the extent these services provide a financial benefit to or relieve a financial burden for a potential referral source, or are subsequently found not to be for fair market value. See "Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry”.  AdaptHealth is subject, directly or indirectly, to United States federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse and false claims laws and regulations. Prosecutions under such laws have increased in recent years and AdaptHealth may become subject to such litigation. If AdaptHealth is unable to or has not fully complied with such laws, it could face substantial penalties. However, there can be no assurance that other market participants will not attempt to steer patients to competing post-acute providers or otherwise limit AdaptHealth’s access to potential referrals. The establishment of joint ventures or networks between referral sources, such as acute care hospitals, and other post-acute providers may hinder patient referrals to AdaptHealth. AdaptHealth’s growth and profitability depend on its ability to establish and maintain close working relationships with patient referral sources and to increase awareness and acceptance of the benefits of inpatient rehabilitation, home health, and hospice care by its referral sources and their patients. There can be no assurance that AdaptHealth will be able to maintain its existing referral source relationships or that it will be able to develop and maintain new relationships in existing or new markets. AdaptHealth’s loss of, or failure to maintain, existing relationships or its failure to develop new relationships could adversely affect its ability to grow its business and operate profitably. 20 Table of Contents AdaptHealth’s business depends on its information systems, including software licensed from third parties, and any failure or significant disruptions of these systems, security breaches or loss of data could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. AdaptHealth’s business depends on the proper functioning and availability of its computer systems and networks. AdaptHealth relies on an external service provider to provide continual maintenance, upgrading and enhancement of AdaptHealth’s primary information systems used for its operational needs. AdaptHealth licenses third-party software that supports intake, personnel scheduling and other human resources functions, office clinical and centralized billing and receivables management in an integrated database, enabling AdaptHealth to standardize the care delivered across its network of locations and monitor its performance and consumer outcomes. AdaptHealth also uses a third-party software provider for its order processing and inventory management platform. To the extent that its third-party providers fail to support, maintain and upgrade such software or systems, or if AdaptHealth loses its licenses with third-party providers, the efficiency of AdaptHealth’s operations could be disrupted or reduced. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. In addition, the prevalent use of mobile devices that access confidential information increases the risk of data security breaches, which could lead to the loss of confidential information or other intellectual property. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, AdaptHealth faces increased cybersecurity risks due to its reliance on internet technology and the number of its employees who are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. AdaptHealth can provide no assurance that its current information technology systems, or those of the third parties upon which it relies, are fully protected against cybersecurity threats. It is possible that AdaptHealth or its third-party vendors may experience cybersecurity and other breach incidents that remain undetected for an extended period. Even when a security breach is detected, the full extent of the breach may not be determined immediately. If AdaptHealth experiences a reduction in the performance, reliability, or availability of its information systems, its operations and ability to process transactions and produce timely and accurate reports could be adversely affected. If AdaptHealth experiences difficulties with the transition and integration of information systems or is unable to implement, maintain, or expand its systems properly, AdaptHealth could suffer from, among other things, operational disruptions, delays, cessation of service, regulatory problems, increases in administrative expenses and other harm to its business and competitive position. There can be no assurance that AdaptHealth’s and its third-party software providers’ safety and security measures and disaster recovery plan will prevent damage, interruption or breach of its information systems and operations. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect, AdaptHealth may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. In addition, hardware, software or applications AdaptHealth develops or procures from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise the security of its information systems. Unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to AdaptHealth’s systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom AdaptHealth does business, through fraud or other forms of deceiving its employees or contractors. On occasion, AdaptHealth has acquired additional information systems through its business acquisitions. AdaptHealth has upgraded and expanded its information system capabilities and has committed significant resources to maintain, protect, enhance existing systems and develop new systems to keep pace with continuing changes in technology, evolving industry and regulatory standards, and changing customer preferences. In addition, costs and potential problems and interruptions associated with the implementation of new or upgraded systems and technology or with maintenance or adequate support of existing systems also could disrupt or reduce the efficiency of AdaptHealth’s operations. A cyber security attack or other incident that bypasses AdaptHealth’s information systems security could cause a security breach which may lead to a material disruption to its information systems infrastructure or business and may involve a significant loss of business or patient health information. If a cyber-security attack or other unauthorized attempt to access AdaptHealth’s systems or facilities were to be successful, it could result in the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation or release of confidential information or intellectual property, and could cause operational or business delays that may materially impact AdaptHealth’s ability to provide various healthcare services. Any successful cyber security attack or other unauthorized attempt to access AdaptHealth’s or its acquisition targets’ systems or facilities also could result in negative publicity which could damage its reputation or brand with its 21 Table of Contents patients, referral sources, payors or other third parties and could subject AdaptHealth to substantial penalties under HIPAA and other federal and state data protection laws, in addition to private litigation with those affected. Failure to maintain the security and functionality of AdaptHealth’s information systems and related software, or a failure to defend a cyber-security attack or other attempt to gain unauthorized access to AdaptHealth’s or its acquisition targets’ systems, facilities or patient health information, could expose AdaptHealth to a number of adverse consequences, the vast majority of which are not insurable, including but not limited to disruptions in AdaptHealth’s operations, regulatory and other civil and criminal penalties, fines, investigations and enforcement actions (including, but not limited to, those arising from the SEC, Federal Trade Commission, the Office of Inspector General or state attorneys general), private litigation with those affected by the data breach, loss of customers, disputes with payors and increased operating expense, which could adversely impact AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. For example, on June 28, 2019, Solara, which was acquired by AdaptHealth in July 2020, determined that an unauthorized third-party gained access to a limited number of employee email accounts beginning in April 2019, as a result of a phishing email campaign. Solara undertook a comprehensive review of the accounts to identify what personal information was stored within the accounts and to whom that information related. In connection with the incident, Solara notified potentially affected individuals and reported this incident to law enforcement and relevant state and federal regulators. Solara was a defendant in a class action regarding the incident in federal court. In October 2021, the parties tentatively agreed to a settlement for a payment of $5.1 million, which will be covered in full by insurance and an escrow established at the time of the Solara acquisition. On January 25, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Preliminary Approval of the settlement. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a liability of $5.1 million and a corresponding indemnification asset, which are included in other current liabilities and other current assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. AdaptHealth experiences competition from numerous other home respiratory, mobility equipment and diabetes medical devices and supplies providers, and this competition could adversely affect its revenues and its business. The home respiratory, mobility equipment and diabetes medical devices and supplies markets are highly competitive and include a large number of providers, some of which are national providers, but most of which are either regional or local providers, including hospital systems, physician specialists and sleep labs. The primary competitive factors are quality considerations such as responsiveness, access to payor contracts, the technical ability of the professional staff and the ability to provide comprehensive services. These markets are very fragmented. Some of AdaptHealth’s competitors may now or in the future have greater financial or marketing resources than AdaptHealth. In addition, in certain markets, competitors may have more effective sales and marketing activities. AdaptHealth’s largest national home respiratory/home medical equipment provider competitors include Apria Healthcare Group Inc., Lincare Holdings Inc. and Rotech Healthcare Inc. The rest of the homecare market in the United States consists of regional providers and product-specific providers, as well as numerous local organizations. Hospitals and health systems are routinely looking to provide coverage and better control of post-acute healthcare services, including homecare services of the types AdaptHealth provides. These trends may continue as new payment models evolve, including bundled payment models, shared savings programs, value-based purchasing and other payment systems. New entrants to the home respiratory/home medical equipment and diabetes medical devices and supplies markets could have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth’s business, results of operations and financial condition. A number of manufacturers of home respiratory equipment currently provide equipment directly to patients on a limited basis. Such manufacturers have the ability to provide their equipment at prices below those charged by AdaptHealth, and there can be no assurance that such direct-to-patient sales efforts will not increase in the future or that such manufacturers will not seek reimbursement contracts directly with AdaptHealth’s third-party payors, who could seek to provide equipment directly to patients from the manufacturer. In addition, pharmacy benefit managers, including CVS Health Corporation and the OptumRx business of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, could enter the HME market and compete with AdaptHealth. Large technology companies, such as Amazon.com, Inc. and Alphabet Inc., have disrupted other supply businesses and have publicly stated an interest in entering the healthcare market. In the event such companies enter the HME market, AdaptHealth may experience a loss of referrals or revenue. 22 Table of Contents Changes in medical equipment technology and development of new treatments may cause AdaptHealth’s current equipment or services to become obsolete. AdaptHealth evaluates changes in home medical equipment technology and treatments on an ongoing basis for purposes of determining the feasibility of replacing or supplementing items currently included in the patient service equipment inventory and services that AdaptHealth offers patients. AdaptHealth’s selection of medical equipment and services is formulated on the basis of a variety of factors, including overall quality, functional reliability, availability of supply, payor reimbursement policies, product features, labor costs associated with the technology, acquisition, repair and ownership costs and overall patient and referral source demand, as well as patient therapeutic and lifestyle benefits. Manufacturers continue to invest in research and development to introduce new products to the marketplace. It is possible that major changes in available technology, payor benefit or coverage policies related to those changes or the preferences of patients and referral sources may cause AdaptHealth’s current product offerings to become less competitive or obsolete, and it will be necessary to adapt to those changes. Unanticipated changes could cause AdaptHealth to incur increased capital expenditures and accelerated equipment write- offs, and could force AdaptHealth to alter its sales, operations and marketing strategies. AdaptHealth’s operations involve the transport of compressed and liquid oxygen, which carries an inherent risk of rupture or other accidents with the potential to cause substantial loss. AdaptHealth’s operations are subject to the many hazards inherent in the transportation of medical gas products and compressed and liquid oxygen, including ruptures, leaks and fires. These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and pollution or other environmental damage and may result in curtailment or suspension of AdaptHealth’s related operations. If a significant accident or event occurs, it could adversely affect AdaptHealth’s business, financial position and results of operations. Additionally, corrective action plans, fines or other sanctions may be levied by government regulators who oversee transportation of hazardous materials such as compressed or liquid oxygen. AdaptHealth provides a significant number of patients with oxygen-based therapy, and from time to time, AdaptHealth has operated medical gas facilities in several states subject to federal and state regulatory requirements. AdaptHealth’s medical gas facilities and operations are subject to extensive regulation by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA”) and other federal and state authorities. The FDA regulates medical gases, including medical oxygen, pursuant to its authority under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Among other requirements, the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practice ("cGMP”) regulations impose certain quality control, documentation and recordkeeping requirements on the receipt, processing and distribution of medical gas. Further, in each such state, its medical gas facilities would be subject to regulation under state health and safety laws, which vary from state to state. The FDA and state authorities conduct periodic, unannounced inspections at medical gas facilities to assess compliance with the cGMP and other regulations, and AdaptHealth expends significant time, money and resources in an effort to achieve substantial compliance with the cGMP regulations and other federal and state law requirements at each of its medical gas facilities. AdaptHealth also complies with the FDA’s requirement for medical gas providers to register their sites with the agency. There can be no assurance, however, that these efforts will be successful and that AdaptHealth’s medical gas facilities will maintain compliance with federal and state law regulations. Failure by AdaptHealth to maintain regulatory compliance at its medical gas facilities could result in enforcement action, including warning letters, fines, product recalls or seizures, temporary or permanent injunctions, or suspensions in operations at one or more locations, and civil or criminal penalties which would materially harm its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, capital resources and liquidity. Our ability to successfully operate our business is largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of AdaptHealth, including senior management. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact our operations and financial results. AdaptHealth is highly dependent on the performance and continued efforts of its senior management team. AdaptHealth’s future success is dependent on its ability to continue to attract and retain qualified executive officers and senior management. Any inability to manage AdaptHealth’s operations effectively could adversely impact its financial condition and results of operations. 23 Table of Contents Our ability to successfully operate our business is also dependent upon the efforts of certain other key personnel of AdaptHealth. It is possible that AdaptHealth will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact our operations and profitability. AdaptHealth’s strategic growth plan, which involves the acquisition of other companies, may not succeed. AdaptHealth’s strategic plan calls for significant growth in its business over the next several years through an increase in its density in select markets where it is established as well as the expansion of its geographic footprint into new markets. This growth would place significant demands on AdaptHealth’s management team, systems, internal controls and financial and professional resources. As a result, AdaptHealth could be required to incur expenses for hiring additional qualified personnel, retaining professionals to assist in developing the appropriate control systems and expanding AdaptHealth’s information technology infrastructure. If AdaptHealth is unable to effectively manage growth, its financial results could be adversely impacted. AdaptHealth’s strategic plan also contemplates continued growth from future acquisitions of home medical equipment providers. AdaptHealth may face increased competition for attractive acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of acquisition opportunities available to AdaptHealth or lead to the payment of higher prices for its acquisitions. Without successful acquisitions, AdaptHealth’s future growth rate could decline. In addition, AdaptHealth cannot guarantee that any future acquisitions, if consummated, will result in further growth. AdaptHealth’s strategic plan contemplates successful integration of acquired home medical equipment providers with AdaptHealth’s existing business, including reduction in operating expenses with respect to the acquired companies. Integrating an acquisition could be expensive and time-consuming and could disrupt AdaptHealth’s ongoing business, negatively affect cash flow and distract management and other key personnel from day-to-day operations. AdaptHealth may not be able to combine successfully the operations of recently acquired companies with its operations, and, even if such integration is accomplished, AdaptHealth may never realize the potential benefits of such acquisition. The integration of acquisitions requires significant attention from management, may impose substantial demands on AdaptHealth’s operations or other projects and may impose challenges on us including, but not limited to, consistencies in business standards, procedures, policies and business cultures. There can be no assurance that any future acquisitions, if consummated, will result in further growth. Specific integration risks relating to the acquisition of other companies by AdaptHealth may include: ● difficulties related to combining previously separate businesses into a single unit, including patient transitions, product and service offerings, distribution and operational capabilities and business cultures; ● availability of financing to the extent needed to fund acquisitions; ● customer loss and other general business disruption; ● managing the integration process while completing other independent acquisitions or dispositions; ● diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations; ● assumption of liabilities of an acquired business, including unforeseen or contingent liabilities or liabilities in excess of the amounts estimated; ● failure to realize anticipated benefits and synergies, such as cost savings and revenue enhancements; ● potentially substantial costs and expenses associated with acquisitions and dispositions; ● failure to retain and motivate key employees; 24 Table of Contents ● coordinating research and development activities to enhance the introduction of new products and services; ● difficulties in establishing and applying AdaptHealth’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures to an acquired business; ● obtaining necessary regulatory licenses and payor-specific approvals, which may impact the timing of when AdaptHealth is to bill and collect for services rendered; ● AdaptHealth’s ability to transition patients in a timely manner may impact AdaptHealth’s ability to collect amounts for services rendered; ● AdaptHealth’s estimates for revenue accruals during the integration of acquisitions may require adjustments in future periods as the transition of patient information is finalized; and ● delays in obtaining new government and commercial insurance payor identification numbers for acquired branches, resulting in a slowdown and/or loss of associated revenue. In addition, AdaptHealth faces competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of acquisition opportunities available to AdaptHealth or lead to the payment of higher prices for its acquisitions. There can be no assurance that AdaptHealth will be able to identify suitable acquisition opportunities in the future or that any such opportunities, if identified, will be consummated on favorable terms, if at all. Without successful acquisitions, AdaptHealth’s future growth rate could decline. While AdaptHealth conducts due diligence in connection with any acquisition opportunity, there may be risks or liabilities that such due diligence efforts fail to discover that are not disclosed to AdaptHealth or that AdaptHealth inadequately assesses. The failure to timely identify any material liabilities associated with any acquisitions could adversely impact AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. Political and economic conditions, including significant global or regional developments such as economic and political events, international conflicts (including the escalating conflict in Ukraine), natural disasters and public health crises that are out of AdaptHealth’s control, could adversely affect its revenue, financial condition and results of operations. AdaptHealth’s business can be affected by a number of factors that are beyond its control, such as general geopolitical, economic and business conditions, financial services market conditions, and general political and economic developments, including slower economic growth, disruptions in financial markets, economic downturns in the form of either contained or widespread recessionary conditions, inflation, elevated unemployment levels, sluggish or uneven economic recovery, government actions impacting trade agreements including the imposition of trade restrictions such as tariffs and retaliatory counter measures, government deficit reduction, tax legislation increasing the federal corporate income tax rates, natural and other disasters, public health crises affecting the operations of AdaptHealth or its customers or suppliers, staffing shortages, production slowdowns or stoppages, raw material shortages and disruptions in delivery systems. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated many of these conditions. Any Medicare, Medicaid or third-party payor reimbursement reductions as a result of such factors could adversely impact AdaptHealth’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, capital resources and liquidity. Turmoil in the financial markets, including in the capital and credit markets, and any uncertainty over its breadth, depth and duration may put pressure on the global economy and could have a negative effect on AdaptHealth’s business. Further, historical worldwide financial and credit turmoil could reduce the availability of liquidity and credit to fund the continuation and expansion of business operations worldwide. The shortage of liquidity and credit combined with substantial losses in worldwide equity markets could cause an economic recession in the United States or worldwide. If financial markets in the United States, Europe and Asia experience extreme disruption, including, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others, governments may take unprecedented actions intended to address extreme market conditions that may include severely restricted credit and declines in real estate values. If conditions in the global economy, U.S. economy or other key 25 Table of Contents vertical or geographic markets are weak or uncertain, AdaptHealth could experience material adverse impacts on its revenue, financial condition and results of operations. We may be negatively impacted by inflation. Increases in inflation may have an adverse effect on AdaptHealth. Current and future inflationary effects may be driven by, among other things, supply chain disruptions and governmental stimulus or fiscal policies. Continuing increases in inflation could impact the overall demand for AdaptHealth’s products and services, its costs for labor, material and services and the margins it is able to realize on its products, all of which could have an adverse impact on AdaptHealth’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Inflation may also result in higher interest rates, which in turn would result in higher interest expense related to AdaptHealth’s variable rate indebtedness and any borrowings it undertakes to refinance existing fixed rate indebtedness. AdaptHealth currently outsources, and from time to time in the future may outsource, a portion of its internal business functions to third-party providers. Outsourcing these functions has significant risks, and AdaptHealth’s failure to manage these risks successfully could materially adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. AdaptHealth currently, and from time to time in the future, may outsource portions of its internal business functions, including billing and administrative functions relating to revenue cycle management, to third-party providers in India and the Philippines. These third-party providers may not comply on a timely basis with all of AdaptHealth’s requirements, or may not provide AdaptHealth with an acceptable level of service. In addition, AdaptHealth’s reliance on third-party providers could have significant negative consequences, including significant disruptions in its operations and significantly increased costs to undertake its operations, either of which could damage AdaptHealth’s relationships with its customers. In addition, AdaptHealth’s outsourced functions may be negatively impacted by any number of factors, including political unrest; public health crises; including the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest; terrorism; war; vandalism; currency fluctuations; changes to the law of India, the Philippines, the United States or any of the states or other jurisdictions in which AdaptHealth does business or outsources operations; or increases in the cost of labor and supplies in India and the Philippines or any other jurisdiction in which AdaptHealth outsources any portion of its internal business functions. AdaptHealth’s outsourced operations may also be affected by trade restrictions, such as tariffs or other trade controls. As a result of its outsourcing activities, it may also be more difficult for AdaptHealth to recruit and retain qualified employees for its business needs at any time. AdaptHealth’s failure to successfully outsource certain of its business functions could materially adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. Risks Related to Regulation AdaptHealth’s revenue could be impacted by federal and state changes to reimbursement and other Medicaid and Medicare policies. AdaptHealth derived approximately 28% and 28% of its net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively from Medicare and various state-based Medicaid programs. These programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes affecting overall spending, base rates or basis of payment, retroactive rate adjustments, annual caps that limit the amount that can be paid (including deductible and coinsurance amounts) for rehabilitation therapy services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries, administrative or executive orders and government funding restrictions, all of which may materially adversely affect the rates and frequency at which these programs reimburse AdaptHealth. For example, the Medicaid Integrity Program is increasing the scrutiny placed on Medicaid payments and could result in recoupments of alleged overpayments. Healthcare providers, suppliers, and payors are facing increasing pressure to reduce healthcare costs, and recent budget proposals and legislation at both the federal and state levels have called for cuts in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates. Enactment and implementation of measures to reduce or delay reimbursement or overall Medicare or Medicaid spending could result in substantial reductions in AdaptHealth’s revenue and profitability. Payors may disallow AdaptHealth’s requests for reimbursement based on determinations that certain costs are not reimbursable or reasonable because either adequate or additional documentation was not provided or because certain services were not covered or considered medically necessary. Revenue from third-party payors can be retroactively adjusted after a new examination during the claims settlement process or as a result of post-payment audits. 26 Table of Contents AdaptHealth may also be subject to pre-payment review of certain service lines or equipment segments as a result of negative audit findings or other third-party payor determinations, which can result in significant delays in claims processing and could materially impact its revenue. As a result of the Public Health Emergency Declaration, National Emergency Declaration, and pursuant to the provisions of the CARES Act, among other things, CMS has issued regulatory guidance indicating enforcement discretion and flexibility regarding the provisions of items and services by Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, & Supplies ("DMEPOS”) suppliers like AdaptHealth. These provisions have been announced through blanket waivers under Section 1135 of the Social Security Act, two Interim Final Rules with Requests for Comment on April 6, 2020 and May 8, 2020, respectively, and through numerous forms of subregulatory guidance. These provisions include modifications of various requirements under CMS regulations and Medicare and Medicaid program rules that aim to expand the capacity of healthcare providers and suppliers to deliver healthcare services while minimizing the risk of viral exposure. However, many of the provisions regarding documentation, coverage and flexibilities remain subject to further guidance and interpretation by CMS and Medicare Administrative Contractors ("MACs”), among others. Due to the speed with which this guidance was issued, neither CMS nor the MACs have fully addressed the impact of this guidance on medical review of claims or audits. CMS and MACs continue to update guidance regarding coverage criteria, documentation requirements, and in-person encounter requirements for Durable Medical Equipment ("DME”) through their websites and other media. CMS’s changes include the exercise of enforcement discretion with respect to the clinical conditions and face-to-face encounter requirements required under certain national and local coverage determinations applicable to certain items and supplies AdaptHealth offers. However, because these waivers and flexibilities may not fully describe the precise scope of the waiver or enforcement discretion, CMS, MACs and other Medicare or Medicaid auditors may challenge documentation for individual claims in pre- payment or post-payment audits. Further, the CMS or MACs may continue to modify or clarify this guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic in a way that affects AdaptHealth’s operations or cash flows. Because the guidance issued changes frequently, AdaptHealth may be required to modify its compliance process and operations to remain in compliance with such guidance. The CARES Act also provides for a temporary suspension of reduced rates for items and services provided by AdaptHealth. Under existing regulations, CMS applies a blended payment rate for DME furnished in rural or noncontiguous non-competitive bidding areas. Pursuant to provisions of the CARES Act, through the end of the public health emergency that blended rate will be based on 50% of the adjusted fee schedule amount (adjusted based on competitively bid prices) and 50% of the unadjusted DMEPOS fee schedule amount. Under prior law, DME furnished in non-rural or contiguous areas would not have been eligible for this blended rate, and instead many DMEPOS suppliers would likely have experienced reduced payments reflecting competitively bid prices. On October 27, 2020, CMS proposed extending the 50/50 transitional blended rate through April 1, 2021 or the end of the public health emergency, whichever was later. On December 28, 2021, CMS permanently finalized the temporary 50/50 blended rate for rural and noncontiguous non-competitive bidding areas. The CARES Act introduced a new blended rate for DME furnished in non-rural or contiguous non-competitive bidding areas that is based on 75% of the adjusted fee schedule amount and 25% of the unadjusted fee schedule amount. On December 28, 2021, CMS confirmed that the 75/25 blended rate would continue only through the duration of the public health emergency. For non-rural or contiguous non-competitive bidding areas, the blended rate will revert to 100% of the Medicare fee schedule at the end of the public health emergency. On January 14, 2022, HHS extended the public health emergency previously renewed on January 7, 2021, April 15, 2021, July 19, 2021, and October 15, 2021, for 90 days. The October 27, 2020 CMS proposed rules also proposed different payment models for the period after the end of the public health emergency, which has been extended through April 16, 2022. The proposed rule provides for different blended rates based on a patient’s location. CMS indicated it is considering extending the transitional adjustments to the fee schedule for product categories that were not awarded in the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. In the October 27 proposed rule, CMS has also proposed adding coverage under the DME benefit for adjunctive or non - therapeutic CGMs (i.e. CGMs used by Medicare beneficiaries who must verify their glucose levels with a blood glucose monitor). While AdaptHealth cannot predict what Medicare payment rates or coverage determinations will be in effect in future years, changes to payment rates or benefit coverages may materially impact its financial condition and results of operations. 27 Table of Contents The CARES Act temporarily suspends the 2% payment adjustment currently applied to all Medicare fee-for-service claims due to sequestration. The suspension was extended through December 31, 2021 in Public Law 117-7, an act to prevent across-the-board direct spending cuts, and for other purposes. On December 10, 2021, the "Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act” was signed into law, extending the suspension of the 2% sequestration through March 31, 2022. This law also contained a phase-in of sequestration, implementing a 1% payment adjustment from April 1, 2022 through June 30 2022. The law provides that the 2% payment adjustment will be reinstated beginning on July 1, 2022. Unless Congress further extends the suspension or unless CMS and MACs issues guidance or interpret the law in a manner that limits the reinstatement of sequestration, the payment adjustment may adversely affect AdaptHealth. Additionally, the impact of the planned termination of temporary suspension of sequestration for Medicare Advantage may depend on specific AdaptHealth individual contracts with Medicare Advantage Organizations. On September 27, 2021, CMS issued a Decision Memo finalizing changes to two separate, but medically related, National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). The Memo removed the NCD for Home Oxygen Use to Treat Cluster Headache (CH) (240.2.2) and revised the NCD for Home Use of Oxygen (240.2) based on removal of the NCD for Home Oxygen Use to Treat CH. The removal of CH NCD (240.2.2) allows the MACs to make coverage determinations regarding the use of home oxygen and oxygen equipment for CH without the need for further clinical trials. The revisions to the NCD for Home Use of Oxygen expands patient access to oxygen and oxygen equipment in the home when its use is reasonable and necessary for short as well as long term use in both acute and chronic diseases of respiratory and non-respiratory origin, as is medically necessary. The revision the NCD for Home Use of Oxygen expands the coverage of home use of oxygen to beneficiaries beyond the condition of chronic hypoxemia, removing all of the language in the entitled Medical Documentation, removing the oxygen Certificate of Medical Necessity requirement, removing the requirement of the trial of alternative therapies prior to oxygen coverage, removing references to chronic stable state, and recognizing that respiratory function can be impaired from various causes, not all of which involve primary lung disease. On December 28, 2021, CMS issued a final rule addressing, among other topics: (1) DMEPOS fee schedule adjustments; and (2) classification and payment for continuous glucose monitors ("CGM”). First, on or after the earlier of April 16, 2022 or the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency ("PHE”), for DMEPOS items furnished in non-competitive bidding areas ("CBA”) rural areas, and non-CBA non- contiguous areas, CMS will permanently pay suppliers the 50/50 blend of adjusted and unadjusted fee schedule rates for furnishing items and services—this 50/50 blended rate was formerly transitional. For non-CBA contiguous, non-rural areas, CMS will pay suppliers 100 percent of the adjusted fee schedule rates using information from the DMEPOS competitive bid program ("CBP”). CMS also finalized CARES Act mandated temporary increases to certain DME payment rates from March 6, 2020 through the duration of the PHE. The final rule also includes the fee schedule adjustment for 2022 based on the annual change to the Consumer Pricing Index for all urban areas (CPI-U). Based on the CPI- U, former CBAs will receive a 5% update and the non-CBA blended fees will receive between 5.1% (the unadjusted fee update) and 5.4% (the adjusted fee update). CMS expanded the classification of DME to a larger category of CGMs, regardless of whether they are non-adjunctive (replace a traditional blood glucose monitors) or adjunctive (do not replace a traditional blood glucose monitors), as long as such CGMs satisfy the regulatory definition of DME (i.e. can withstand repeated use for at least 3 years). AdaptHealth’s business may be adversely impacted by healthcare reform efforts, including repeal of or significant modifications to the ACA. In recent years, the U.S. Congress and certain state legislatures have considered and passed a number of laws that are intended to result in significant changes to the healthcare industry. For example, there have been numerous political and legal efforts to expand, repeal, replace or modify the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended ("ACA”), since the law’s enactment, some of which have been successful, in part, in modifying the law, as well as court challenges to the constitutionality of the law. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the latest such case on June 17, 2021, when the Court held that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the ACA’s requirement to obtain minimum essential health insurance coverage or the individual mandate and dismissed the case without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA. Federal regulatory agencies continue to modify ACA regulations and guidance related to the ACA, often as a result of presidential directives. The ultimate outcome of efforts to expand the ACA, substantially amend its provisions, or change funding for the ACA is unknown. Though we cannot predict what, if any, reform 28 Table of Contents proposals will be adopted, healthcare reform and legislation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any future efforts to challenge, repeal or replace the ACA or implement alternative reform measures may result in reduced funding for state Medicaid programs, lower numbers of insured individuals, reduced coverage for insured individuals, and could impact providers and other healthcare industry participants and cause AdaptHealth’s revenues to decrease to the extent such legislation reduces Medicaid and/or Medicare reimbursement rates. If CMS requires prior authorization or implements changes in documentation necessary for AdaptHealth’s products, AdaptHealth’s revenue, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted. CMS has established and maintains a Master List of Items Frequently Subject to Unnecessary Utilization of certain DMEPOS items identified as being subject to unnecessary utilization. This list identifies items that CMS has determined could potentially be subject to prior authorization as a condition of Medicare payment. Since 2012, CMS has also maintained a list of categories of DMEPOS items that require face-to-face encounters with practitioners and written orders before the DMEPOS supplier may furnish the items to beneficiaries. In a final rule issued in 2019, CMS combined and harmonized the two lists to create a single unified list (the "Master List”). CMS also reduced the financial threshold for inclusion on the Master List. With certain exceptions for reductions in Payment Threshold (defined as an average purchase fee of $1,000 or greater, adjusted annually for inflation, or an average monthly rental fee of $100 or greater, adjusted annually for inflation), items remain on the Master List for ten years from the date the item was added to the Master List. The presence of an item on the Master List does not automatically mean that prior authorization is required. Under the 2019 final rule, CMS selects items from the Master List for inclusion on the "Required Prior Authorization List.” The expanded Master List would increase the number of DMEPOS items potentially eligible to be selected for prior authorization, face-to-face encounter and written order prior to delivery requirements as a condition of payment. CMS has added certain items that are part of AdaptHealth’s product lines to the Master List and CMS may include the Company’s products on the Required Prior Authorization List. In January 2022, CMS added thirty-one HCPCS codes to the Master List, and eleven HCPCS codes, related to power mobility devises and lower limb and lumbar-sacral orthoses, to the Required Prior Authorization List. These additions will be implemented in three phases broken down by state, with phase one beginning April 13, 2022. If CMS adds additional products to the Master List, expands the list of items subject to prior authorization, or expands face-to-face encounter requirements or provisions requiring a written order prior to deliver, these changes may adversely impact AdaptHealth’s revenue, financial condition and results from operations. Reimbursement claims are subject to audits by various governmental and private payor entities from time to time and such audits may negatively affect AdaptHealth’s revenue, financial condition and results of operations. AdaptHealth receives a substantial portion of its revenues from the Medicare program. Medicare reimbursement claims made by healthcare providers, including HME providers, are subject to audit from time to time by governmental payors and their agents, such as MACs that, among other things, process and pay Medicare claims, auditors contracted by CMS, and insurance carriers, as well as the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (the "OIG-HHS”), CMS and state Medicaid programs. These include specific requirements imposed by the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractor ("DME MAC”) Supplier Manuals, Medicare DMEPOS enrollment requirements and Medicare DMEPOS Supplier Standards. To ensure compliance with Medicare, Medicaid and other regulations, government agencies or their contractors, including MACs, Recovery Audit Contractors ("RACs”), Unified Program Integrity Contractors ("UPICs”) and Zone Program Integrity Contractors ("ZPICs”), often conduct audits and request customer records and other documents to support our claims submitted for payment of services rendered and compliance with government program claim submission requirements. Some contractors are paid a percentage of the overpayments recovered. Negative audit findings or allegations of fraud or abuse may subject AdaptHealth or its individual subsidiaries to liability, such as overpayment liability, refunds or recoupments of previously paid claims, payment suspension, or the revocation of billing or payment privileges in governmental healthcare programs. If CMS or a state Medicaid agency determines that certain actions of the Company or an affiliated subsidiary present an undue risk of fraud, waste, or abuse, they may suspend the billing or payment privileges of the entity, deny the entity’s enrollment or revalidation for Medicare or Medicaid participation, and potentially deny the re-enrollments of other commonly owned entities. Such actions, if imposed on the Company or its subsidiaries, could materially and adversely impact the Company’s revenue, financial condition and results of operations. 29 Table of Contents In many instances, there are only limited publicly available guidelines and methodologies for determining errors with certain audits. As a result, there can be a significant lack of clarity regarding required documentation and audit methodology. The clarity and completeness of each patient medical file, some of which is the work product of physicians not employed by AdaptHealth, is essential to successfully challenging any payment denials. For example, certain provisions under CMS guidance manuals, local coverage determinations, and the DME MAC Supplier Manuals provide that clinical information from the "patient’s medical record” is required to justify the initial and ongoing medical necessity for the provision of DME. Some DME MACs, CMS staff and other government contractors have taken the position, that the "patient’s medical record” refers not to documentation maintained by the DME supplier but instead to documentation maintained by the patient’s physician, healthcare facility or other clinician, and that clinical information created by the DME supplier’s personnel and confirmed by the patient’s physician is not sufficient to establish medical necessity. If treating physicians do not adequately document, among other things, their diagnoses and plans of care, the risks that the Company will be subject to audits and payment denials are likely to increase. Moreover, auditors’ interpretations of these policies are inconsistent and subject to individual interpretation, leading to significant increases in individual supplier and industry-wide perceived error rates. High error rates could lead to further audit activity and regulatory burdens, and could result in AdaptHealth making significant refunds and other payments to Medicare and other government programs. Accordingly, AdaptHealth’s future revenues and cash flows from government healthcare programs may be reduced. Private payors also may conduct audits and may take legal action to recover alleged overpayments. AdaptHealth could be adversely affected in some of the markets in which it operates if the auditing payor alleges substantial overpayments were made to AdaptHealth due to coding errors or lack of documentation to support medical necessity determinations. AdaptHealth cannot currently predict the adverse impact these measures might have on its financial condition and results of operations, but such impact could be material. Moreover, provisions of the ACA implemented by CMS require that overpayments be reported and returned within 60 days of the date on which the overpayment is "identified.” Any overpayment retained after this deadline may be considered an "obligation” for purposes of the False Claims Act, liability for which can result in the imposition of substantial fines and penalties. CMS currently requires a six-year "lookback period,” for reporting and returning overpayments. On June 26, 2020 and February 17, 2021, respectively, two acquired subsidiaries of AdaptHealth received notices of suspension of Medicare payment privileges from the CMS UPIC for the western jurisdiction. Both notices stated that the suspension was based upon a determination that such subsidiaries, each single supplier entities, had billed for services which were not rendered and/or were medically unnecessary, and improperly solicited beneficiaries. The Company has responded to both suspensions, and on June 8, 2021, the Company received notice that one of the payment suspensions had been lifted. As previously noted, the remaining subsidiary subject to the payment suspension will not be paid for items provided to Medicare beneficiaries until the suspension is lifted, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in reinstating such payment privileges. These supplier entities represent less than two percent (2%) of the Company’s annual revenue. The Company does not believe that these suspensions will have a material adverse effect on the Company. AdaptHealth cannot currently predict the adverse impact, if any, that these audits, determinations, methodologies and interpretations might have on its financial condition and results of operations. Significant reimbursement reductions and/or exclusion from markets or product lines could adversely affect AdaptHealth. All Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program contracts expired on December 31, 2018, and, as a result, there is a temporary gap in the entire DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program that CMS stated would last until December 31, 2020, and be replaced by a single round of competition named "Round 2021” which consolidated the competitive bidding areas ("CBAs”) included in the Round 1 2017 and Round 2 Recompete DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Programs. Round 2021 contracts became effective on January 1, 2021 and extend through December 31, 2023. CMS included 16 product categories in the Round 2021. On April 10, 2020, CMS announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it removed the non-invasive ventilators product category from the Round 2021 DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. 30 Table of Contents On October 27, 2020, CMS announced that it would not award competitive bid contracts in 13 of the 15 remaining product categories due to a failure to achieve expected savings, and that Round 2021 contract awards would only be made for off-the-shelf (OTS) knee and back braces. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, net revenue generated with respect to providing OTS knee and back braces (excluding amounts generated in non-rural and rural non-bid areas) were not material. AdaptHealth expects to obtain contracts for OTS knee and back braces, and does not expect the single payment amounts imposed by CMS under such contracts to have a material impact on the Company. The competitive bidding process (which is expected to be re-bid every three years) has historically put pressure on the amount AdaptHealth is reimbursed in the markets in which it exists, as well as in areas that are not subject to the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. The rates required to win future competitive bids could continue to depress reimbursement rates. AdaptHealth will continue to monitor developments regarding the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. While AdaptHealth cannot predict the outcome of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program on its business in the future nor the Medicare payment rates that will be in effect in future years for the items subjected to competitive bidding, the program may materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. Failure by AdaptHealth to successfully design, modify and implement technology-based and other process changes to maximize productivity and ensure compliance could ultimately have a significant negative impact on AdaptHealth’s financial condition, reputation and results of operations. AdaptHealth has identified a number of areas throughout its operations, including revenue cycle management and fulfilment logistics, where it intends to centralize and/or modify current processes or systems in order to attain a higher level of productivity or ensure compliance. Failure to achieve the cost savings or enhanced quality control expected from the successful design and implementation of such initiatives may adversely impact AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, Medicare and Medicaid often change their documentation requirements with respect to claims submissions. The standards and rules for healthcare transactions, code sets and unique identifiers also continue to evolve, such as ICD 10 and HIPAA 5010 and other data security requirements. Moreover, government programs and/or commercial insurance payors may have difficulties administering new standards and rules for healthcare transactions and this may adversely affect timelines of payment or payment error rates. The DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program also imposes new reporting requirements on contracted providers. Failure by AdaptHealth to successfully design and implement system or process modifications could have a significant impact on its operations and financial condition. From time to time, AdaptHealth’s outsourced contractors for certain information systems functions, such as Brightree LLC and Parachute Health LLC, may make operational, leadership or other changes that could impact AdaptHealth’s plans and cost-savings goals. The implementation of many of the new standards and rules will require AdaptHealth to make substantial investments. Further, the implementation of these system or process changes could have a disruptive effect on related transaction processing and operations. If AdaptHealth’s implementation efforts related to systems development are unsuccessful, AdaptHealth may need to write off amounts that it has capitalized related to systems development projects. Additionally, if systems development implementations do not occur, AdaptHealth may need to incur additional costs to support its existing systems. AdaptHealth is subject, directly or indirectly, to United States federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse and false claims laws and regulations. Prosecutions under such laws have increased in recent years and AdaptHealth may become subject to such litigation. If AdaptHealth is unable to or has not fully complied with such laws, it could face substantial penalties. AdaptHealth’s operations are subject to various state and federal fraud and abuse laws, including, without limitation, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal Stark Law and the federal False Claims Act. These laws may impact, among other things, AdaptHealth’s sales, marketing and education programs. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal 31 Table of Contents healthcare covered business, the statute has been violated. In addition, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. The Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and, despite a series of narrow safe harbors, prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the healthcare industry. Penalties for violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute include criminal penalties and civil sanctions such as fines, imprisonment and possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Many states have also adopted laws similar to the federal Anti- Kickback Statute, some of which apply to the referral of patients for healthcare items or services reimbursed by any source, not only the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The federal Ethics in Patient Referrals Act of 1989, commonly known as the "Stark Law,” prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, physician referrals of Medicare and, as applicable under state law, Medicaid patients to an entity providing certain "designated health services” if the physician or an immediate family member has any financial relationship with the entity. The Stark Law also prohibits the entity receiving the referral from billing any good or service furnished pursuant to an unlawful referral. Various states have corollary laws to the Stark Law, including laws that require physicians to disclose any financial interest they may have with a healthcare provider to their patients when referring patients to that provider. Both the scope and exceptions for such laws vary from state to state. The federal False Claims Act prohibits persons from knowingly filing, or causing to be filed, a false claim to, or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from the federal government. The False Claims Act defines "knowingly” to include actual knowledge, acting in deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of information, or acting in deliberate disregard of the truth or falsity of information. False Claims Act liability includes liability for reverse false claims for avoiding or decreasing an obligation to pay or transmit money to the government. This includes False Claims Act liability for failing to report and return overpayments within 60 days of the date on which the overpayment is "identified.” Penalties under the False Claims Act can include exclusion from the Medicare program. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Suits filed under the False Claims Act, known as qui tam actions, can be brought by any individual on behalf of the government and such individuals, commonly known as "whistleblowers,” may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. The frequency of filing qui tam actions has increased significantly in recent years, causing greater numbers of medical device, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies to have to defend a False Claims Act action. When an entity is determined to have violated the federal False Claims Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties for each separate false claim. Various states have also enacted laws modeled after the federal False Claims Act. For example, as previously disclosed, on July 25, 2017, AdaptHealth was served with a subpoena by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ("EDPA”) pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3486 (investigation of a federal health care offense) to produce certain audit records and internal communications regarding ventilator billing. The investigation focused on billing practices regarding one payor that contracted for bundled payments for certain ventilators. AdaptHealth has cooperated with investigators and, through agreement with the EDPA, has submitted all information requested in AdaptHealth’s possession. An independent third party was retained by AdaptHealth that identified overpayments and underpayments for ventilator billings related to the payor, and a remittance was sent to reconcile that account. On October 3, 2019, AdaptHealth received a follow-up civil investigative demand from the EDPA regarding a document previously produced to the EDPA and patients included in the review by the independent third party. AdaptHealth has responded to the EDPA and supplemented its production as requested with any relevant documents in AdaptHealth’s possession. During subsequent communications, the EDPA indicated to the Company that the investigation remained ongoing. The EDPA also requested additional information regarding certain patient services and claims refunds processed by AdaptHealth in 2017. The Company produced this information in coordination with the EDPA. The EDPA has also raised questions regarding other aspects of ventilator billing. While AdaptHealth cannot provide any assurance as to whether the EDPA will seek additional information or pursue this matter further, it does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth. Additionally, in March 2019, prior to its acquisition by AdaptHealth, AeroCare was served with a civil investigative demand ("CID”) issued by the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky ("WDKY”). The CID seeks to investigate allegations that AeroCare improperly billed, or caused others to improperly bill, for oxygen tank contents that were not delivered to beneficiaries. The WDKY has requested documents related to such oxygen tank 32 Table of Contents content billing as well as other categories of information. AeroCare has cooperated with the WDKY and has produced documents and provided explanations of its billing practices. In September 2020, the WDKY indicated the investigation includes alleged violations of the federal False Claims Act and as well as alleged violations of state Medicaid false claims acts in ten states. AeroCare has cooperated fully with the investigation and has indicated to the WDKY that concerns raised do not accurately identify Medicare coverage criteria and that state Medicaid coverage requirements generally do not provide for separate reimbursement for portable gaseous oxygen contents in the circumstances at issue. While AdaptHealth cannot provide any assurance as to whether the WDKY will seek additional information or pursue this matter further, it does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth. HIPAA, and its implementing regulations, also created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any healthcare benefit program, regardless of the payor (e.g., public or private) and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by any trick or device a material fact or making any materially false statements in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services relating to healthcare matters. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. From time to time, AdaptHealth has been and is involved in various governmental audits, investigations and reviews related to its operations. Reviews and investigations can lead to government actions, resulting in the assessment of damages, civil or criminal fines or penalties, or other sanctions, including restrictions or changes in the way AdaptHealth conducts business, loss of licensure or exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid or other government programs. Additionally, as a result of these investigations, healthcare providers and entities may face litigation or have to agree to settlements that can include monetary penalties and onerous compliance and reporting requirements as part of a consent decree or corporate integrity agreement, or Corporate Integrity Agreement ("CIA”). If AdaptHealth fails to comply with applicable laws, regulations and rules, its financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, becoming subject to these governmental investigations, audits and reviews may result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from the business as AdaptHealth cooperates with the government authorities, regardless of whether the particular investigation, audit or review leads to the identification of underlying issues. AdaptHealth is unable to predict whether it could be subject to actions under any of these laws, or the impact of such actions. If AdaptHealth is found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or other applicable state and federal fraud and abuse laws, AdaptHealth may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other government healthcare reimbursement programs and the curtailment or restructuring of its operations. Failure by AdaptHealth to maintain required licenses and accreditation could impact its operations. AdaptHealth is required to maintain a significant number of state and/or federal licenses for its operations and facilities. Certain employees are required to maintain licenses in the states in which they practice. AdaptHealth manages the facility licensing function centrally. In addition, individual clinical employees are responsible for obtaining, maintaining and renewing their professional licenses, and AdaptHealth has processes in place designed to notify branch or pharmacy managers of renewal dates for the clinical employees under their supervision. State and federal licensing requirements are complex and often open to subjective interpretation by various regulatory agencies. Accurate licensure is also a critical threshold issue for the Medicare enrollment and the Medicare competitive bidding program. From time to time, AdaptHealth may also become subject to new or different licensing requirements due to legislative or regulatory requirements developments or changes in its business, and such developments may cause AdaptHealth to make further changes in its business, the results of which may be material. Although AdaptHealth believes it has appropriate systems in place to monitor licensure, violations of licensing requirements may occur and failure by AdaptHealth to acquire or maintain appropriate licensure for its operations, facilities and clinicians could result in interruptions in its operations, refunds to state and/or federal payors, sanctions or fines or the inability to serve Medicare beneficiaries in competitive bidding markets which could adversely impact AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. 33 Table of Contents Accreditation is required by most of AdaptHealth’s managed care payors and is a mandatory requirement for all Medicare DMEPOS providers. If AdaptHealth or any of its branches lose accreditation, or if any of its new branches are unable to become accredited, such failure to maintain accreditation or become accredited could adversely impact AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. Actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable data protection, privacy and security, and consumer protection laws, regulations, standards and other requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient privacy and consumer privacy, including HIPAA and the HITECH Act, govern the collection, dissemination, security, use and confidentiality of patient-identifiable health information or personal information. Such laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, marketing and advertising, and consumer protection are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. These requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that varies from one jurisdiction to another and/or may conflict with other laws or regulations. As a result, AdaptHealth’s practices may not have complied or may not comply in the future with all such laws, regulations, requirements and obligations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by AdaptHealth or any of its third-party partners or service providers to comply with privacy policies or federal or state privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations, industry self-regulatory principles, industry standards or codes of conduct, regulatory guidance, orders to which they may be subject, or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection, could adversely affect AdaptHealth’s reputation, brand and business, and may result in claims, proceedings or actions against AdaptHealth by governmental entities, consumers, users, suppliers or others. These proceedings may result in financial liabilities or may require AdaptHealth to change its operations, including ceasing the use or sharing of certain data sets. HIPAA and the HITECH Act, and their implementing regulations, require AdaptHealth to comply with standards for the use and disclosure of health information within AdaptHealth and with third parties. HIPAA and the HITECH Act also include standards for common healthcare electronic transactions and code sets, such as claims information, plan eligibility, payment information, and privacy and security of individually identifiable health information. HIPAA requires healthcare providers, including AdaptHealth, in addition to health plans and clearinghouses, to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to protected health information that is used or disclosed. The HITECH Act included notification requirement for breaches of patient-identifiable health information, restricts certain disclosures and sales of patient-identifiable health information and provides a tiered system for civil monetary penalties for HIPAA violations. HIPAA also provides for criminal penalties. In addition, various federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies, or self-regulatory organizations, may expand current laws or regulations, enact new laws or regulations or issue revised rules or guidance regarding privacy, data protection and consumer protection. For instance, the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA”) became effective on January 1, 2020. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used by requiring covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers (as that term is broadly defined) and provide such consumers new ways to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. Although there are limited exemptions for protected health information and the CCPA’s implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, the CCPA may increase AdaptHealth’s compliance costs and potential liability. Many similar privacy laws have been proposed at the federal level and in other states. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting existing federal and state consumer protection laws to impose evolving standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of health-related and other personal information. Courts may also adopt the standards for fair information practices promulgated by the FTC, which concern consumer notice, choice, security and access. Consumer protection laws require AdaptHealth to publish statements that describe how it handles personal information and choices individuals may have about the way 34 Table of Contents AdaptHealth handles their personal information. If such information that AdaptHealth publishes is considered untrue, it may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Furthermore, according to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act. Under the Federal CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 ("TCPA”) and the Telemarketing Sales Rule and Medicare regulations, AdaptHealth is limited in the ways in which it can market and service its products and services by use of email, text or telephone marketing. The actual or perceived improper sending of text messages may subject us to potential risks, including liabilities or claims relating to consumer protection laws. Numerous class-action suits under federal and state laws have been filed in recent years against companies who conduct SMS texting programs, with many resulting in multi-million-dollar settlements to the plaintiffs. Any future such litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend. For example, the TCPA, a federal statute that protects consumers from unwanted telephone calls, faxes and text messages, restricts telemarketing and the use of automated SMS text messages without proper consent. On April 1, 2021, in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid, 141 S. Ct. 1163 (2021), the U.S. Supreme Court adopted a narrow definition of the type of automated dialers that are subject to the TCPA, thereby removing some automated text messages from the scope of the TCPA consent requirements. As a result, there may be an increase in litigation under state laws and new legislation at the federal and state level in an effort to ensure that consent is required for calls and text messages that are now outside the scope of the TCPA. For example, in May 2021, the Florida legislature passed a bill that expands restrictions for telephonic sales calls, including text messages, made using automated selection and dialing systems and creates a private right of action for violations of the law. Additionally, state regulators may determine that telephone calls to patients of AdaptHealth are subject to state telemarketing regulations. If AdaptHealth does not comply with existing or new laws and regulations related to telephone contacts or patient health information, it could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions. New health information standards, whether implemented pursuant to HIPAA, the HITECH Act, congressional action or otherwise, could have a significant effect on the manner in which AdaptHealth handles healthcare-related data and communicates with payors, and the cost of complying with these standards could be significant. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to the delivery of consumer phone calls, emails and text messages are continuously evolving and developing. If we do not comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations, we could face direct liability, could be required to change some portions of our business model, could face negative publicity and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Even an unsuccessful challenge of our phone, email or SMS text practices by our consumers, regulatory authorities or other third parties could result in negative publicity and could require a costly response from and defense by us. If AdaptHealth’s subsidiary fails to comply with the terms of its Corporate Integrity Agreement, it could be subjected to substantial monetary penalties or suspension or termination from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Braden Partners, L.P. ("BP”), d/b/a Pacific Pulmonary Services ("PPS”), which was acquired by AdaptHealth in May 2018, entered into a five-year CIA with the OIG-HHS, effective March 31, 2017, concurrent with the execution of a settlement agreement with the United States, acting through the DOJ and on behalf of the OIG-HHS. The CIA imposes certain compliance, auditing (including by an independent review organization), self-reporting and training requirements with which BP must comply. If BP fails to comply with the terms of its CIA, it could be subjected to substantial monetary penalties and/or suspension or exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs. Any such suspension, exclusion or termination would result in the revocation or termination of contracts and/or licenses and potentially have a material adverse effect on the results of BP’s operations. The imposition of monetary penalties and/or termination of contracts with respect to BP could adversely affect AdaptHealth’s profitability and financial condition. The CIA has a five-year term which is expected to expire by April 1, 2022. In connection with the acquisition and integration of PPS by AdaptHealth, the OIG-HSS confirmed that the CIA’s risk adjustment requirements and independent claims review would only apply to the operations of BP and therefore no operations of AdaptHealth or any other affiliate are subject to these CIA requirements following the acquisition. On December 16, 2021, the OIG-HHS notified PPS that its report for the period ended March 31, 2021 had been accepted and PPS had satisfied its obligations under the CIA as of such date. 35 Table of Contents Risks Related to Our Financial Condition If AdaptHealth were required to write down all or part of its goodwill its net earnings and net worth could be materially adversely affected. Goodwill represents a significant portion of AdaptHealth’s assets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. For example, if our market capitalization drops significantly below the amount of net equity recorded on our balance sheet, it might indicate a decline in our fair value and would require us to further evaluate whether our goodwill has been impaired. If, as part of our annual review of goodwill, or if any triggering events are identified on an interim basis indicating a possible impairment of goodwill, we are required to write down all or a significant part of AdaptHealth’s goodwill, our net earnings and net worth would be materially adversely affected, which could affect our flexibility to obtain additional financing. In addition, if our assumptions used in preparing our valuations for purposes of impairment testing differ materially from actual future results, we may record impairment charges in the future and our financial results may be materially adversely affected. AdaptHealth had $3.5 billion of goodwill recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2021. It is not possible at this time to determine if there will be any future impairment charge, or if there is, whether such charges would be material. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth experienced a decline in its market capitalization as a result of a decline in AdaptHealth’s stock price, and if this decline continues for a sustained period of time, AdaptHealth may be required to perform a goodwill impairment assessment at an interim period and could be required to recognize a non-cash goodwill impairment charge at that time, which could be material. AdaptHealth may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to cover required payments or comply with financial and operating covenants under its long-term debt and long-term operating leases. Failure to generate sufficient cash flow to cover required payments or comply with financial and operating covenants under AdaptHealth’s long-term debt and long-term operating leases could result in defaults under such agreements and cross-defaults under other debt or operating lease arrangements, which could harm its operating subsidiaries. AdaptHealth may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to cover required interest, principal and lease payments. In addition, AdaptHealth’s current indebtedness contain restrictive covenants and require AdaptHealth to maintain or satisfy specified coverage tests. These restrictions and financial and operating covenants include, among other things, requirements with respect to total leverage ratios and an interest charge coverage ratio. These restrictions may interfere with AdaptHealth’s ability to obtain additional advances under its existing credit facility or to obtain new financing or to engage in other business activities, which may inhibit AdaptHealth’s ability to grow its business and increase revenue. In addition, failure by AdaptHealth to comply with these restrictive covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of its debt. AdaptHealth may need additional capital to fund its operating subsidiaries and finance its growth, and AdaptHealth may not be able to obtain it on acceptable terms, or at all, which may limit its ability to grow. AdaptHealth’s ability to maintain and enhance its operating subsidiaries and equipment to meet regulatory standards, operate efficiently and remain competitive in its markets requires AdaptHealth to commit substantial resources to continued investment in its affiliated facilities and equipment. Additionally, the continued expansion of its business through the acquisition of existing facilities, expansion of existing facilities and construction of new facilities may require additional capital, particularly if AdaptHealth were to accelerate its acquisition and expansion plans. Financing may not be available or may be available only on terms that are not favorable. In addition, some of AdaptHealth’s outstanding indebtedness restricts, among other things, its ability to incur additional debt. If AdaptHealth is unable to raise additional funds or obtain additional funds on acceptable terms, it may have to delay or abandon some or all of its growth strategies. Further, if additional funds are raised through the issuance of additional equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be diluted. Any newly issued equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the Common Stock. 36 Table of Contents Changes in the method of determining the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR”), or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may adversely affect interest rates on AdaptHealth’s outstanding variable rate indebtedness. Certain of AdaptHealth’s indebtedness, including LIBOR Rate Loans under its credit facility, bears interest at variable interest rates that use LIBOR as a benchmark rate. LIBOR is the subject of recent proposals for reform and, on March 5, 2021, the LIBOR Administrator announced that it will cease publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR for the most common tenors (overnight and one, three, six and twelve months) as of June 30, 2023. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR”), which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR, and central banks in several other jurisdictions have also announced plans for alternative reference rates for other currencies. The consequences of these developments with respect to LIBOR cannot be entirely predicted but may result in an increase in the interest cost of AdaptHealth’s variable rate indebtedness. In the event that LIBOR is no longer available as a reference rate or is replaced by SOFR in the future, AdaptHealth’s credit facility permits its lenders, in good faith, to unilaterally suspend maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans under the credit facility and to adopt a new rate, such as SOFR. As a result, AdaptHealth may need to renegotiate its outstanding indebtedness or incur other indebtedness, and the phase-out of LIBOR may negatively impact the terms of such indebtedness. In addition, the overall financial market may be disrupted as a result of the phase-out or replacement of LIBOR. Disruption in the financial market could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. AdaptHealth’s current insurance program may expose it to unexpected costs and negatively affect its business, financial condition and results of operations, particularly if it incurs losses not covered by its insurance or if claims or losses differ from its estimates. There is an inherent risk of liability in the provision of healthcare services. As participants in the healthcare industry, AdaptHealth may periodically be subject to lawsuits, some of which may involve large claims and significant costs to defend, such as mass tort or other class actions. Although AdaptHealth’s insurance coverage reflects deductibles, self-insured retentions, limits of liability and similar provisions that it believes are reasonable based on its operations, the coverage under its insurance programs may not be adequate to protect it in all circumstances. AdaptHealth’s insurance policies contain exclusions and conditions that could have a materially adverse impact on AdaptHealth’s ability to receive indemnification thereunder, as well as customary sub-limits for particular types of losses. Additionally, insurance companies that currently insure companies in AdaptHealth’s industry may cease to do so, may change the coverage provided or may substantially increase premiums in the future. The incurrence of losses and liabilities that exceed AdaptHealth’s available coverage, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. AdaptHealth currently self-insures a significant portion of expected losses under its workers’ compensation, automobile liability and employee health insurance programs and, to offset negative insurance market trends, AdaptHealth may elect to increase its self-insurance coverage, accept higher deductibles or reduce the amount of coverage. Unanticipated changes in any applicable actuarial assumptions and management estimates underlying its liabilities for these losses could result in materially different expenses than expected under these programs, which could have a material adverse effect on AdaptHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if AdaptHealth experiences a greater number of these losses than it anticipates, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Our only significant asset is our ownership of AdaptHealth Holdings, and such ownership may not be sufficient to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations or to pay any dividends on our Common Stock. We have no direct operations and no significant assets other than the ownership of AdaptHealth Holdings. We depend on AdaptHealth Holdings and its subsidiaries for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations or to pay any dividends with respect to our Common Stock. Legal and contractual restrictions in agreements governing the indebtedness of subsidiaries of AdaptHealth Holdings may limit our ability to ultimately obtain cash from AdaptHealth Holdings. The earnings from, or other available assets of, AdaptHealth Holdings and its subsidiaries may not be sufficient to enable us to satisfy our financial obligations or pay 37 Table of Contents any dividends on our Common Stock. To the extent that we require funds and AdaptHealth Holdings or its subsidiaries are restricted from making distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of their financing arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, it could materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, including our ability to pay our income taxes when due. Risks Related to Our Securities Fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. As an active market for our Common Stock continues to develop, the trading price of our Common Stock could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our Common Stock and our Common Stock may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for it. In such circumstances, the trading price of our Common Stock may not recover and may experience a further decline. Factors affecting the trading price of our Common Stock may include: ● the COVID-19 pandemic; ● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us; ● changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results; ● success of competitors; ● our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts, investors or our guidance in a particular period; ● changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning AdaptHealth or the home medical equipment industry in general; ● operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us; ● our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis; ● changes in laws and regulations affecting our business; ● our ability to meet compliance requirements; ● commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us; ● inability to quickly remediate material weaknesses or the continued identification of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting; ● changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt; ● the volume of shares of our Common Stock available for public sale; ● any major change in our board of directors or management; 38 Table of Contents ● sales of substantial amounts of common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and ● general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism, including the escalating conflict in Ukraine. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our Common Stock, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our Common Stock also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. We may not be able to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that are applicable to us. As a public company, we are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we are required to provide attestation on internal controls, and we may continue to undertake various actions, such as implementing additional internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those that were required of AdaptHealth Holdings as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that became applicable to us after the transactions completed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 8, 2019, by and among DFB Healthcare Acquisitions Corp. a Delaware corporation, DFB Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, our wholly owned subsidiary, AdaptHealth Holdings, AH Representative LLC, BM AH Holdings, LLC, Access Point Medical Inc. and, solely for the purposes described therein, Clifton Offshore Investments L.P., a British Virgin Islands limited partnership, BlueMountain Foinaven Master Fund L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, BMSB L.P. a Delaware limited partnership, BlueMountain Fursan Fund L.P. a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the "Business Combination"). Further, as we are no longer an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm was required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 as of December 31, 2021. As described in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures”, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed an adverse report on the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In the future, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event that it continues to not be satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating. If we are not able to implement additional internal controls and procedures in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of our Common Stock. As described in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures,” we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2020 as described in our December 31, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. We have taken a number of measures to remediate the material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2020 as described in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures”. In addition, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2021 because material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. With respect to the material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2021, we plan to implement measures to remediate such material weaknesses as described in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures”; however, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and 39 Table of Contents reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. The existence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us. In addition, we have and will continue to incur additional costs to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that are described in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures”. Certain of our principal stockholders have significant influence over us. As of December 31, 2021, Q Management Services (PTC) Ltd., as Trustee of Everest Trust, beneficially owned approximately 11.45% of our Common Stock, assuming the exercise of 665,628 private placement warrants held by Clifton Bay Offshore Investments L.P. and 41,473 private placement warrants held by Quadrant Management LLC. As of December 31, 2021, the OEP Purchaser beneficially owned approximately 9.95% of our Common Stock. As long as Q Management Services (PTC) Ltd., as Trustee of the Everest Trust, and/or the OEP Purchaser own or control a significant percentage of our outstanding voting power, they will have the ability to significantly influence all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and the size of our board of directors, any amendment to our Charter or Amended and Restated Bylaws (our "Bylaws”), or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. The interests of Q Management Services (PTC) Ltd., as Trustee of the Everest Trust, and/or the OEP Purchaser may not align with the interests of our other stockholders. Each of Q Management Services (PTC) Ltd., as Trustee of the Everest Trust, and the OEP Purchaser is in the business of making investments in companies and may acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. Each of Q Management Services (PTC) Ltd., as Trustee of the Everest Trust, and the OEP Purchaser may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. Our Charter provides that our stockholders and our directors, including any who were designated by any of our stockholders, other than any such persons who are employees of us or any of our subsidiaries, do not have any obligation to offer to us any corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware prior to offering such opportunities to other entities with which they may be affiliated, subject to certain limited exceptions. We will continue to incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a result of being a public company, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We will continue to face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that AdaptHealth Holdings did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements increases costs and makes certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements require us to carry out activities AdaptHealth had not undertaken prior to the Business Combination. In addition, additional expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will continue to be incurred. We have and will continue to incur additional costs to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures”. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with our status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the board of directors or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. Furthermore, certain of the key personnel of AdaptHealth may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements. These increased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs. 40 Table of Contents Certain of AdaptHealth’s management has limited experience in operating a public company. Certain of AdaptHealth’s executive officers and certain directors have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. AdaptHealth’s management team may not successfully or effectively manage a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the Company. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company, which will increase our operating costs in future periods. Because we have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your Common Stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it. We may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and have no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends as a public company in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our Common Stock unless you sell our Common Stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it. We are required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim, and the amounts of such payments could be significant. The Tax Receivable Agreement, which we entered into at the Closing with certain pre-Business Combination owners of AdaptHealth Units (collectively, the "TRA Holders”), generally provides for the payment by us of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of: (i) certain tax attributes of Access Point Medical, Inc. existing prior to the Business Combination; (ii) certain increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of AdaptHealth Units; (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement; and (iv) certain increases in tax basis resulting from payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. The amount of the cash payments that we may be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement could be significant and is dependent upon significant future events and assumptions, including the timing of the exchanges of AdaptHealth Units, the price of our Common Stock at the time of each exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable transactions and the amount of the exchanging TRA Holder’s tax basis in its AdaptHealth Units at the time of the relevant exchange. The amount of such cash payments is also based on assumptions as to the amount and timing of taxable income we generate in the future, the U.S. federal income tax rate then applicable and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that constitute interest or give rise to depreciable or amortizable tax basis. Moreover, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that we determine, which tax reporting positions are subject to challenge by taxing authorities. We are dependent on distributions from AdaptHealth Holdings to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and we cannot guarantee that such distributions will be made in sufficient amounts or at the times needed to enable us to make our required payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, or at all. Any payments made by us to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us. To the extent that we are unable to make timely payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us. Nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and therefore, may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are also not conditioned upon the TRA Holders maintaining a continued ownership interest in AdaptHealth Holdings or us. 41 Table of Contents In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that if we breach any of our material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, if we undergo a change of control or if, at any time, we elect an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, then the Tax Receivable Agreement will terminate and our obligations, or our successor’s obligations, to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement would accelerate and become immediately due and payable. The amount due and payable in those circumstances is determined based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that we would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. We may need to incur debt to finance payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to the extent our cash resources are insufficient to meet our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise. As a result of the foregoing, (i) we could be required to make cash payments to the TRA Holders that are greater than the specified percentage of the actual benefits we ultimately realize in respect of the tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (ii) we would be required to make a cash payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits that are the subject of the Tax Receivable Agreement, which payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future tax benefits. In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination, or other changes of control due to the additional transaction costs a potential acquirer may attribute to satisfying such obligations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We will not be reimbursed for any payments made to TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the event that any tax benefits are disallowed. We will not be reimbursed for any cash payments previously made to the TRA Holders pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement if any tax benefits initially claimed by us are subsequently challenged by a taxing authority and are ultimately disallowed. Instead, any excess cash payments made by us to a TRA Holder will be netted against any future cash payments that we might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, a challenge to any tax benefits initially claimed by us may not arise for a number of years following the initial time of such payment or, even if challenged early, such excess cash payment may be greater than the amount of future cash payments that we might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement and, as a result, there might not be future cash payments from which to net against. The applicable U.S. federal income tax rules are complex and factual in nature, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or a court will not disagree with our tax reporting positions. As a result, it is possible that we could make cash payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are substantially greater than our actual cash tax savings. Certain of the TRA Holders have substantial control over us, and their interests, along with the interests of other TRA Holders, in our business may conflict with the interests of our stockholders. The interests of the TRA Holders may conflict with the interests of holders of our Common Stock. For example, the TRA Holders may have different tax positions from us which could influence their decisions regarding whether and when to dispose of assets, whether and when to incur new or refinance existing indebtedness, especially in light of the existence of the Tax Receivable Agreement, and whether and when we should terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement and accelerate our obligations thereunder. In addition, the structuring of future transactions may take into consideration tax or other considerations of TRA Holders even in situations where no similar considerations are relevant to us. Our warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock. Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we issued in a private placement an aggregate of 4,333,333 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $11.50 per share. As of December 31, 42 Table of Contents 2021, there were 4,056,427 private placement warrants outstanding, which have an expiration date of November 20, 2024. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of our Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our stockholders and increase the number of shares of Common Stock eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Because we are no longer an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, we may incur additional expenses and devote increased management time to compliance with additional disclosures that are applicable to companies that are not emerging growth companies. While we were an "emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, we were permitted to take advantage of reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that were not otherwise generally available to public companies. These included, without limitation, (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements. Because we are no longer an emerging growth company, we have and expect to incur additional costs associated with the heightened reporting requirements described above, including the requirement to provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our independent registered public accounting firm was required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 as of December 31, 2021. As described in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures”, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed an adverse report on the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. We have and will continue to incur additional costs to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures”. We no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company based on our closing share price and the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2021. As a smaller reporting company, we were exempted from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies. Decreased disclosures in our prior SEC filings due to our status as a "smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects when compared to our SEC filings as a "smaller reporting company”. We may be unable to timely implement new accounting pronouncements or new interpretations of existing accounting pronouncements. Relevant accounting rules and pronouncements are subject to ongoing interpretation and refinement by the accounting profession. These ongoing interpretations or the adoption of new rules and pronouncements could require material changes in our accounting practices or financial reporting, including restatements, which may be expensive, time consuming, and difficult to implement. If such changes are required, the Company may not be able to timely implement them or may experience reporting delays. Our Charter requires that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, to the extent enforceable, the federal district courts of the United States of America be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. Our Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, other than any claim to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or other claim for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of the State of Delaware, the stockholder bringing such suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Our Charter further provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America are the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. These provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. If a court were to find either 43 Table of Contents exclusive forum provision in our Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could seriously harm our business. Although the Delaware Supreme Court recently held that exclusive forum provisions of federal district courts of the United States of America for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act are facially valid, courts in other jurisdictions may find such provisions to be unenforceable. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 2. Properties We lease all of our offices and facilities. Our corporate headquarters currently consists of approximately 15,500 square feet in an office building located at 220 Germantown Pike, Suite 250, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, 19462. In addition to our corporate headquarters, we lease facilities for our operating locations, billing centers, and other warehouse and office space. All facilities are leased pursuant to operating leases. We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate for our planned needs. Item 3. Legal Proceedings See Item 1. "Business—Legal Proceedings.” and Item 1A. "Risk Factors”. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. PART II Item 5. Market Price of and Dividends on Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters; Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Market Information Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "AHCO.” Through November 8, 2019, our common stock was quoted under the symbol "DFB.” As of February 25, 2022, there were 89 holders of record of shares of our Common Stock. Such number does not include beneficial owners holding our securities through nominee names. Dividend Policy We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock to date. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. In addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants contained in any of our existing or future indebtedness.

[Reserved] Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with AdaptHealth Corp.’s ("AdaptHealth” or the "Company”) consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this report. All amounts presented are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP”), except as noted. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors”, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. AdaptHealth Corp. Overview AdaptHealth is a national leader in providing patient-centered, healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment ("HME”), medical supplies, and related services. The Company focuses primarily on providing (i) sleep therapy equipment, supplies and related services (including CPAP and bi PAP services) to individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA”), (ii) medical devices and supplies to patients for the treatment of diabetes (including continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps), (iii) home medical equipment to patients discharged from acute care and other facilities, (iv) oxygen and related chronic therapy services in the home, and (v) other HME devices and supplies on behalf of chronically ill patients with wound care, urological, incontinence, ostomy and nutritional supply needs. The Company services beneficiaries of Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance payors. As of December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth serviced approximately 3.8 million patients annually in all 50 states through its network of 757 locations in 47 states. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 220 West Germantown Pike, Suite 250, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania 19462. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted AdaptHealth’s business, as well as its patients, communities, and employees. AdaptHealth’s priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic remain protecting the health and safety of its employees (including patient-facing employees providing respiratory and other services), maximizing the availability of its services and products to support patient health needs, and maintaining the operational and financial stability of its business. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the National Emergency Declaration, dated March 13, 2020, in the first quarter of 2020, AdaptHealth activated certain business interruption protocols, including acquisition and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) to its patient-facing employees, accelerated capital expenditures of certain products and relocation of significant portions of its workforce to "work-from-home” status. Federal, state, and local authorities have taken several actions designed to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients and to mitigate the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Legislative actions taken by the federal government include the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act”), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Through the CARES Act, the federal government has authorized payments to be 45 Table of Contents distributed to healthcare providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("Provider Relief Fund” or "PRF”). Additionally, the CARES Act revised the Medicare accelerated and advance payment program in an attempt to disburse payments to healthcare providers more quickly to mitigate the financial impact on healthcare providers. AdaptHealth increased its cash liquidity by, among other things, seeking recoupable advance payments of $45.8 million made available by CMS under the CARES Act legislation, which was received in April 2020. In addition, in connection with an acquisition completed in July 2020, AdaptHealth assumed a liability of $3.7 million relating to CMS recoupable advance payments received by the acquired company prior to the date of acquisition. The recoupment of the advance payments by CMS began in April 2021 and is being applied to services provided and revenue recognized during the period in which the recoupment occurs, and will impact AdaptHealth’s cash receipts for services provided until such time all amounts have been recouped. During the year ended December 31, 2021, CMS has recouped a total of $36.7 million. As of December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth has deferred a total of $12.8 million related to CMS recoupable advance payments, which is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, in April 2020, AdaptHealth received distributions of the CARES Act PRF of $17.2 million. Subsequent to April 2020, AdaptHealth completed several acquisitions in which the acquired companies received a total of $22.2 million of PRF payments prior to the applicable dates of acquisition. In connection with the accounting for these acquisitions, AdaptHealth recorded assumed liabilities of $7.7 million relating to the PRF payments received by the acquired companies. The PRF payments are targeted to offset lost revenue and expenditures incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The PRF payments are subject to certain restrictions and are subject to recoupment if not used for designated purposes. As a condition to receiving distributions, providers were required to agree to certain terms and conditions, including, among other things, that the funds would be used for lost revenues and unreimbursed COVID-19 related expenses as defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS”). All recipients of PRF payments were required to comply with the reporting requirements described in the terms and conditions and as determined by HHS. AdaptHealth recognizes grant payments as income when there is reasonable assurance that it has complied with the conditions associated with the grant. During the fourth quarter of each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized grant income of $10.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively, related to the PRF payments determined to comply with conditions associated with the grant. HHS has indicated that the CARES Act PRF are subject to ongoing reporting and changes to the terms and conditions, and there have been several updates to such reporting requirements and terms and conditions since they were issued by HHS. Such updates have related to changes to the guidance regarding utilization of the funds granted from the PRF and updates to the reporting requirements of such funds, among other updates. To the extent that there is any future updated guidance from HHS or modifications to the terms and conditions, it may affect AdaptHealth’s ability to comply and AdaptHealth could be required to reverse the recognition of the grant income recorded and return a portion of the funds received, which could be material to AdaptHealth. AdaptHealth is continuing to monitor the terms and conditions issued by HHS. Furthermore, HHS has indicated that it will be closely monitoring and, along with the Office of Inspector General (United States) (OIG), auditing providers to ensure that recipients comply with the terms and conditions of relief programs and to prevent fraud and abuse. All providers will be subject to civil and criminal penalties for any deliberate omissions, misrepresentations or falsifications of any information given to HHS. Also, as permitted under the CARES Act, AdaptHealth elected to defer certain portions of employer-paid FICA taxes otherwise payable from March 27, 2020 to January 1, 2021. In total, AdaptHealth deferred $8.6 million under this provision. AdaptHealth paid $4.3 million on January 4, 2022 and the remaining balance of $4.3 million is expected to be paid shortly after December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, $4.3 million is included in other current liabilities and $4.3 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Emergency Declaration and the various state and local government imposed stay-at-home restrictions did not have a material impact on AdaptHealth’s consolidated operating results initially, AdaptHealth has experienced declines in net revenue in certain services associated with elective medical procedures (such as commencement of new CPAP services and medical equipment and orthopedic supply related to facility discharges), and such declines may continue during the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Offsetting these declines in net revenue, AdaptHealth has experienced an increase in net revenue related to increased demand for certain respiratory products (such as oxygen), increased sales in its resupply businesses (primarily as a result 46 Table of Contents of the increased ability to contact patients at home as a result of state and local government imposed stay-at-home orders) and the one-time sale of certain respiratory equipment (primarily ventilators, bi-level PAP devices and oxygen concentrators) to hospitals and local health agencies. Additionally, the suspension of Medicare sequestration (resulting in an approximate 2% increase in Medicare payments to all providers through March 31, 2022 and a 1% increase from April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 (when the suspension of Medicare sequestration ends), and regulatory guidance from CMS expanding telemedicine and reducing documentation requirements during the emergency period, have resulted in increased net revenues for certain products and services. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on AdaptHealth’s business, results of operations, and financial condition is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments and numerous evolving factors that it may not be able to accurately predict, and could be material to AdaptHealth’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. For additional information on risk factors that could impact AdaptHealth’s results, refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Key Components of Operating Results Net Revenue. Net revenue is recorded for services that AdaptHealth provides to patients for home healthcare equipment, medical supplies to the home and related services. AdaptHealth’s primary service lines are (i) sleep therapy equipment, supplies and related services (including CPAP and bi PAP services) to individuals suffering from OSA, (ii) medical devices and supplies to patients for the treatment of diabetes (including continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps), (iii) home medical equipment to patients discharged from acute care and other facilities, (iv) oxygen and related chronic therapy services in the home, and (v) other HME devices and supplies on behalf of chronically ill patients with wound care, urological, incontinence, ostomy and nutritional supply needs. Revenues are recorded either (x) at a point in time for the sale of supplies and disposables, or (y) over the service period for equipment rental (including, but not limited to, CPAP machines, hospital beds, wheelchairs and other equipment), at amounts estimated to be received from patients or under reimbursement arrangements with Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors, including private insurers. Cost of Net Revenue. Cost of net revenue primarily includes the cost of non-capitalized medical equipment and supplies, distribution expenses, labor costs, facilities rental costs, revenue cycle management costs and depreciation for capitalized patient equipment. Distribution expenses represent the cost incurred to coordinate and deliver products and services to the patients. Included in distribution expenses are leasing, maintenance, licensing and fuel costs for the vehicle fleet; salaries, benefits and other costs related to drivers and dispatch personnel; and amounts paid to couriers. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of corporate support costs including information technology, human resources, finance, contracting, legal, compliance leadership, equity-based compensation, transaction expenses and other administrative costs. Depreciation and Amortization, Excluding Patient Equipment Depreciation. Depreciation expense includes depreciation charges for capital assets other than patient equipment (which is included as part of the cost of net revenue). Amortization expense includes amortization of identifiable intangible assets. Factors Affecting AdaptHealth’s Operating Results AdaptHealth’s operating results and financial performance are influenced by certain unique events during the periods discussed herein, including the following: Acquisitions AdaptHealth accounts for its acquisitions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations, and the operations of the acquired entities are included in the historical results of AdaptHealth for the periods following the closing of the acquisition. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding AdaptHealth’s acquisitions. 47 Table of Contents Debt and Recapitalization In August 2021, AdaptHealth issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "5.125% Senior Notes”). The 5.125% Senior Notes will mature on March 1, 2030. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on March 1st and September 1st of each year, beginning on March 1, 2022. In January 2021, AdaptHealth issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "4.625% Senior Notes”). The 4.625% Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2029. Interest on the 4.625% Senior Notes is payable on February 1st and August 1st of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021. In July 2020, AdaptHealth issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the "6.125% Senior Notes”). The 6.125% Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2028. Interest on the 6.125% Senior Notes is payable on February 1st and August 1st of each year, beginning on February 1, 2021. Refer to the section below, titled Liquidity and Capital Resources, for additional discussion related to AdaptHealth’s senior unsecured notes. In January 2021, AdaptHealth refinanced its debt borrowings and entered into a new credit agreement with its existing bank group, which was subsequently amended in April 2021 (the "2021 Credit Agreement”). Refer to the section below, titled Liquidity and Capital Resources, for additional discussion related to the 2021 Credit Agreement. In July 2020, AdaptHealth refinanced its then current debt borrowings and entered into a new credit agreement with a new bank group (the "2020 Credit Agreement”). The 2020 Credit Agreement consisted of a $250 million term loan (the "2020 Term Loan”) and $200 million in commitments for revolving credit loans. The amount borrowed under the 2020 Term Loan bore interest quarterly at variable rates based upon the sum of (a) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (subject to a floor) equal to the LIBOR (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period, plus (b) an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.75% per annum based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement). Outstanding amounts borrowed under the 2020 Credit Agreement were repaid in full in connection with the January 2021 refinancing transaction discussed above. In March 2019, AdaptHealth restructured its then existing debt borrowings, which consisted of a $300 million initial term loan, $50 million delayed draw term loan, and $75 million revolving credit facility. In November 2019, the Company repaid $50 million under the initial term loan. Outstanding amounts borrowed under such credit facility were repaid in full in connection with the July 2020 refinancing transaction discussed above. In March 2019, AdaptHealth signed a Note and Unit Purchase Agreement with an investor. Pursuant to the agreement, AdaptHealth issued a promissory note with a principal amount of $100 million (the Promissory Note). In connection with the transactions completed as part of the Business Combination, the Promissory Note was replaced with a new amended and restated promissory note with a principal amount of $100 million, and the investor converted certain of its members’ interests to a $43.5 million promissory note. The new $100 million promissory note, together with the $43.5 million promissory note, are collectively referred to herein as the New Promissory Note. In June 2021, AdaptHealth repaid $71.8 million of the outstanding principal balance under the New Promissory Note. In August 2021, AdaptHealth repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of $71.7 million under the New Promissory Note. The outstanding principal balance under the New Promissory Note bore interest at 12%. Seasonality AdaptHealth’s business experiences some seasonality. Its patients are generally responsible for a greater percentage of the cost of their treatment or therapy during the early months of the year due to co-insurance, co-payments and deductibles, and therefore may defer treatment and services of certain therapies until meeting their annual deductibles. In addition, changes to employer insurance coverage often go into effect at the beginning of each calendar year which may impact eligibility requirements and delay or defer treatment. Also, net revenue generated by the Company’s diabetes product line is typically higher in the fourth quarter compared to the earlier part of the year due to the timing of when patients meet their annual deductibles and their associated reordering patterns. These factors may lead to lower net revenue and cash flow in the early part of the year versus the latter half of the year. Additionally, the increased incidence of respiratory infections during the winter season may result in initiation of additional respiratory services such as oxygen therapy for certain patient populations. AdaptHealth’s quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future depending on these and other factors. 48 Table of Contents Key Business Metrics AdaptHealth focuses on net revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex as it reviews its performance. Total net revenue is comprised of net sales revenue and net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements less implicit price concessions. Net sales revenue consists of revenue recognized at a point in time for the sale of supplies and disposables. Net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements consists of revenue recognized over the service period for equipment (including, but not limited to, CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, ventilators, hospital beds, wheelchairs and other equipment).

Net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $2,454.5 million and $1,056.4 million, respectively, an increase of $1,398.1 million or 132.4%. Net revenue for 2021 and 2020 included $10.5 million and $36.5 million, respectively, from referral partners and healthcare facilities in support of their urgent needs as the coronavirus pandemic has led to an increased demand for respiratory equipment including ventilators and oxygen concentrators. Excluding this revenue, net revenue was $2,444.0 million and $1,019.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $1,424.1 million. The increase in net revenue was driven primarily by acquisitions completed after January 1, 2020, which increased net revenue by $1,443.0 million, primarily from the acquisition of AeroCare. This increase in net revenue was partially offset by planned declines in revenue from 51 Table of Contents the Company’s Patient Care Solutions (PCS) supplies business (which was acquired in January 2020) in connection with the Company’s turnaround efforts of that business executed subsequent to the acquisition. These turnaround efforts at PCS reduced net revenues for the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period as a result of the Company’s exit from poor performing payor contracts and products, which resulted in improved profitability for PCS. Net revenue generated by PCS for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $110.5 million and $130.2 million, respectively. Additionally, net revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 was impacted by a recall of certain ventilator, BiPAP, and CPAP devices supplied to AdaptHealth by Philips Respironics (Philips). On June 14, 2021, AdaptHealth received notice from Philips that these devices would be included in a Philips voluntary recall due to potential health risks to patients. Currently, it is not possible to purchase these products from Philips, which has led to shortages in the supply chain, and other suppliers were unable to meet the strong patient demand for these products, which has materially affected AdaptHealth’s ability to service patient demand for these devices during the year ended December 31, 2021. Management estimates that the Philips recall reduced expected net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 by approximately $40 million to $45 million, with such impact primarily affecting net revenue in the fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net sales revenue (recognized at a point in time) comprised 67% of total net revenue, compared to 72% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 30, 2021, net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements comprised 33% of total net revenue, compared to 28% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. These changes are primarily due to a change in product mix, primarily from the acquisition of AeroCare. Grant income. Grant income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 related to the recognition of amounts received under the CARES Act provider relief funds. Cost of Net Revenue. The following table summarizes cost of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands, except percentages) Dollars Revenue Percentage Dollars Revenue Percentage Increase/(Decrease) Dollars Percentage (unaudited) Costs of net revenue: Cost of products and supplies Salaries, labor and benefits Patient equipment depreciation Rent and occupancy Other operating expenses Equity-based compensation Severance Total cost of net revenue $ 955,813 595,668 194,958 48,586 204,573 7,301 2,026 $ 2,008,925 38.9 % $ 24.3 % 7.9 % 2.0 % 8.3 % 0.3 % 0.1 % 441,931 257,898 71,072 22,344 93,054 7,845 4,457 81.8 % $ 898,601 41.8 % $ 24.4 % 6.7 % 2.1 % 8.9 % 0.8 % 0.4 % 513,882 337,770 123,886 26,242 111,519 (544) (2,431) 85.1 % $ 1,110,324 116.3 % 131.0 % 174.3 % 117.4 % 119.8 % (6.9)% (54.5)% 123.6 % Cost of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $2,008.9 million and $898.6 million, respectively, an increase of $1,110.3 million or 123.6%, which is primarily related to acquisition growth. Costs of products and supplies increased by $513.9 million primarily as a result of acquisition growth, primarily from the acquisition of AeroCare, and increased net sales revenue. Salaries, labor and benefits increased by $337.8 million, primarily related to acquisition growth and increased headcount, primarily from the acquisition of AeroCare. The increase in rent and occupancy and other operating expenses is related to acquisition growth. Cost of net revenue was 81.8% of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 85.1% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The cost of products and supplies was 38.9% of net revenue in 2021 compared to 41.8% in 2020, primarily driven by increased scale and reduced vendor pricing. Salaries, labor and benefits was 24.3% 52 Table of Contents of net revenue in 2021 compared to 24.4% in 2020. Patient equipment depreciation was 7.9% of net revenue in 2021 compared to 6.7% in 2020, primarily as a result of a change in product mix as net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements as a percentage of total net revenue was higher in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily from the acquisition of AeroCare. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $167.5 million and $89.3 million, respectively, an increase of $78.2 million or 87.5%. This increase is primarily due to (1) increased transaction costs related to acquisition growth, primarily from the acquisition of AeroCare, (2) higher professional fees including legal, accounting and consulting, including costs for Sarbanes Oxley compliance, (3) higher labor costs associated with increased headcount, (4) higher equity- based compensation expense as a result of overall increased equity-based compensation grant activity and the accelerated vesting of certain awards, including $2.4 million in connection with the acceleration of vesting of certain equity awards in connection with the separation of the Company’s former Co-CEO, and (5) higher information technology-related expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 6.8% in 2021, compared to 8.5% in 2020. General and administrative expenses in 2021 included $47.9 million in transaction costs, $18.0 million in equity-based compensation expense, and $2.4 million in severance expense. General and administrative expenses in 2020 included $25.4 million in transaction costs, $10.8 million in equity-based compensation expense, and $1.1 million in severance expense. Excluding the impact of these charges, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 4.0% and 4.9% in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Depreciation and amortization, excluding patient equipment depreciation. Depreciation and amortization, excluding patient equipment depreciation, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $63.1 million and $11.4 million, respectively, an increase of $51.7 million. The increase was primarily related to amortization expense of $46.5 million related to identifiable intangible assets recognized during 2021, primarily as a result of the acquisition of AeroCare, as compared to $6.0 million recognized during 2020. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $95.2 million and $41.4 million, respectively. Interest expense related to long-term debt was higher in 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of higher long-term debt borrowings outstanding during that period. Such borrowings were primarily used to fund acquisitions. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $20.2 million which consists of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to AdaptHealth refinancing its credit facility in January 2021, and also a debt prepayment penalty in connection with the early repayment of AdaptHealth’s note payable and the write-off of the associated unamortized deferred financing costs. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to AdaptHealth refinancing its credit facility in July 2020. Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Common Shares Liability. In connection with the Business Combination, certain former owners of AdaptHealth Holdings are entitled to contingent consideration common shares, as discussed in Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity – Contingent Consideration Common Shares, to the accompanying December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements. These shares were liability-classified through December 31, 2021, and the change in fair value of the contingent consideration common shares liability represents a non-cash gain in 2021 and a non-cash charge in 2020 for the change in the estimated fair value of such liability during the respective periods. Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. AdaptHealth has outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, as discussed in Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity – Warrants, to the accompanying December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements. These warrants are liability-classified, and the change in fair value of the warrant liability represents a non-cash gain in 2021 and a non-cash charge in 2020 for the change in the estimated fair value of such liability during the respective periods. Other Income (Loss), net. Other (income) loss, net for the year ended December 31, 2021 was a loss of $1.8 million, and consisted of $3.9 million of expenses associated with legal settlements and $1.9 million of expenses associated with lease terminations, offset by $0.9 million of net reductions in the fair value of contingent consideration 53 Table of Contents liabilities related to acquisitions, $0.7 million of equity income related to equity method investments, a gain of $0.5 million for the receipt of earnout proceeds in connection with an investment that was sold in 2020, and a $1.9 million gain in connection with the consolidation of an equity method investment. Other (income) loss, net for the year ended December 31, 2020 was income of $3.4 million, and consisted of $4.2 million net reductions in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions, a gain of $0.6 million related to the sale of an investment, $0.1 million of equity income related to equity method investments, offset by a $1.5 million expense related to a transition services agreement executed in connection with an acquisition completed in 2020. Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $32.8 million compared to an income tax benefit of $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in income tax expense was primarily related to increased pre-tax income and AdaptHealth Holding’s change in U.S. federal income tax classification as a result of the Tax Restructuring, as discussed in note 18, Income Taxes, to the accompanying December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements. Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2020 and Year Ended December 31, 2019.

Net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,056.4 million and $529.6 million, respectively, an increase of $526.8 million or 99.5%. The increase in net revenue was driven primarily by (i) acquisitions completed during 2020, which contributed net revenue of $450.2 million during the year, (ii) organic growth resulting from stronger CPAP resupply sales and demographic growth in core markets, and (iii) net revenue of $36.5 million from referral partners and healthcare facilities in support of their urgent needs for ventilation and oxygen equipment for COVID-19 patients. These increases were partially offset by reduced demand for certain products that are related to elective medical services which is attributable to the coronavirus pandemic, such as CPAP new starts, orthotics, and certain other HME products, and this trend is expected to remain while the coronavirus crisis continues. However, the Company’s CPAP resupply and other supplies business remains healthy, as most patients for that business are in their homes and can be easily contacted to refresh their supplies. Additionally, the coronavirus pandemic has led to an increased demand for respiratory equipment including ventilators and oxygen concentrators. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net sales revenue (recognized at a point in time) comprised 72% of total net revenue, compared to 60% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in the proportion of net sales revenue compared to total net revenue was driven primarily by the PCS, Solara, ActivStyle and Pinnacle acquisitions, which are primarily supplies businesses, as well as the SleepMed and Choice acquisitions, which are primarily CPAP resupply businesses. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net revenue from fixed monthly equipment reimbursements comprised 28% of total net revenue, compared to 40% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. Grant income. Grant income for the year ended December 31, 2020 related to the recognition of amounts received under the CARES Act provider relief funds. There was no grant income recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019. Cost of Net Revenue. The following table summarizes cost of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 (in thousands, except percentages) Dollars Revenue Percentage Dollars Revenue Percentage Increase/(Decrease) Dollars Percentage (unaudited) Costs of net revenue: Cost of products and supplies Salaries, labor and benefits Patient equipment depreciation Rent and occupancy Other operating expenses Equity-based compensation Severance Total cost of net revenue $ 441,931 257,898 71,072 22,344 93,054 7,845 4,457 $ 898,601 41.8 % $ 24.4 % 6.7 % 2.1 % 8.9 % 0.8 % 0.4 % 156,430 153,173 59,498 13,407 57,339 — 858 85.1 % $ 440,705 29.5 % $ 28.9 % 11.2 % 2.5 % 10.9 % — % 0.2 % 285,501 104,725 11,574 8,937 35,715 7,845 3,599 83.2 % $ 457,896 182.5 % 68.4 % 19.5 % 66.7 % 62.3 % N M % 419.5 % 103.9 % Cost of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $898.6 million and $440.7 million, respectively, an increase of $457.9 million or 103.9%, which is primarily related to acquisition growth. Costs of products and supplies increased by $285.5 million primarily as a result of acquisition growth, increased CPAP resupply sales, and expenses associated with the coronavirus pandemic, including increased personal protective equipment purchases. Salaries, labor and benefits increased by $104.7 million primarily related to acquisition growth and increased headcount, primarily from the PCS, Solara, ActivStyle and Pinnacle acquisitions. The increase in rent and occupancy and other operating expenses is related to acquisition growth, primarily from the aforementioned acquisitions. Cost of net revenue was 85.0% of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 83.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The cost of products and supplies was 41.8% of net revenue in 2020 compared to 55 Table of Contents 29.5% in 2019, while patient equipment depreciation was 6.7% of net revenue in 2020 compared to 11.2% in 2019. These changes are the result of a change in product mix as sales revenue was higher in 2020 compared to 2019, primarily from the PCS, Solara, ActivStyle and Pinnacle acquisitions. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $89.3 million and $56.5 million, respectively, an increase of $32.8 million or 58.2%. This increase is primarily due to (1) higher labor costs associated with increased headcount, (2) higher professional fees including legal, accounting and consulting, (3) increased transaction costs related to acquisition growth, (4) higher information technology related expenses, and (5) incremental costs associated with operating as a public company. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 8.5% in 2020, compared to 10.7% in 2019. General and administrative expenses in 2020 included $10.8 million in equity-based compensation expense, $25.4 million in transaction costs, $1.1 million in severance expense and $0.6 million in other non-recurring expenses. General and administrative expenses in 2019 included $11.1 million in equity-based compensation expense, $15.6 million in transaction costs, $1.4 million in severance expense and $0.5 million in other non-recurring expenses. Excluding the impact of these charges, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 4.9% and 5.3% in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Depreciation and amortization, excluding patient equipment depreciation. Depreciation and amortization, excluding patient equipment depreciation, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $11.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, an increase of $8.3 million. The increase was primarily related to amortization expense of $6.0 million related to identifiable intangible assets recognized during 2020. There was no amortization expense of intangible assets recognized during 2019. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $41.4 million and $39.3 million, respectively. Interest expense related to long-term debt during 2020 increased by $13.5 million compared to 2019 as a result of higher long-term debt borrowings outstanding during that year. Interest expense during 2019 included non-cash interest expense of $11.4 million representing the change in fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements; such amount would only be paid out if the interest rate swap agreements were terminated. On August 22, 2019, AdaptHealth designated its swaps as effective cash flow hedges. Accordingly, subsequent to August 22, 2019, changes in the fair value of its interest rate swaps are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in equity rather than interest expense. As such, there was no non-cash interest expense related to changes in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements during 2020. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $5.3 million which was a result of the write-off of deferred financing costs related to AdaptHealth refinancing its credit facility in July 2020. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $2.1 million which was a result of the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the 2019 Recapitalization. Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Common Shares Liability. In connection with the Business Combination, certain former owners of AdaptHealth Holdings are entitled to contingent consideration common shares. These shares were liability-classified, and the change in fair value of the contingent consideration common shares liability represents a non-cash charge for the change in the estimated fair value of such liability during the period. Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. AdaptHealth has outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock. These warrants are liability-classified, and the change in fair value of the warrant liability represents a non-cash charge for the change in the estimated fair value of such liability during the period. Other Income, net. Other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of $4.2 million of net reductions in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions, a gain of $0.6 million related to the sale of an investment, $0.1 million of equity income related to equity method investments, offset by a $1.5 million expense related to a transition services agreement in connection with an acquisition. Other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of $0.2 million of net reductions in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions and $0.1 million of equity income related to an equity method investment. 56 Table of Contents Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $12.0 million compared to income tax expense of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The change in income tax benefit/expense was primarily related to decreased pre- tax income associated with the tax paying entities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex AdaptHealth uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex, which are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, to analyze its financial results and believes that they are useful to investors, as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures. In addition, AdaptHealth’s ability to incur additional indebtedness and make investments under its existing credit agreement is governed, in part, by its ability to satisfy tests based on a variation of Adjusted EBITDA. AdaptHealth defines EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to AdaptHealth Corp., plus net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. AdaptHealth defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (as defined above), plus loss on extinguishment of debt, equity-based compensation expense, transaction costs, severance, change in fair value of the contingent consideration common shares liability, change in fair value of the warrant liability, and other non-recurring items of expense (income). AdaptHealth defines Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) less patient equipment acquired during the period without regard to whether the equipment was purchased or financed through lease transactions. AdaptHealth believes Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex is useful to investors in evaluating AdaptHealth’s financial performance. AdaptHealth’s business requires significant investment in equipment purchases to maintain its patient equipment inventory. Some equipment title transfers to patients’ ownership after a prescribed number of fixed monthly payments. Equipment that does not transfer wears out or oftentimes is not recovered after a patient’s use of the equipment terminates. AdaptHealth uses this metric as the profitability measure in its incentive compensation plans that have a profitability component and to evaluate acquisition opportunities, where it is most often used for purposes of contingent consideration arrangements. For purposes of this metric, patient equipment capital expenditure is measured as the value of the patient equipment received during the accounting period without regard to whether the equipment is purchased or financed through lease transactions. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of AdaptHealth’s liquidity. The following unaudited table presents the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to AdaptHealth, to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Patient Equipment Capex for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019: 57 Table of Contents (in thousands) 2021 Net income (loss) attributable to AdaptHealth Corp.

(b) Represents equity-based compensation expense for awards granted to employees and non-employee directors. The higher expense in 2021 is due to overall increased equity compensation grant activity in that period, as well as expense resulting from accelerated vesting of certain awards, including accelerated vesting of certain awards in connection with the separation of the Company’s former Co-CEO. (c) Represents transaction costs related to acquisitions. The 2019 period also includes costs associated with the 2019 Recapitalization and the Business Combination.

Refer to Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity – Contingent Consideration Common Shares, included in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional discussion of such non-cash charge or gain. (f) Represents a non-cash charge or gain for the change in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability. Refer to Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity – Warrants, included in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional discussion of such non-cash charge or gain. (g) The 2021 period includes $2.1 million of expenses related to legal and other costs associated with the separation of the Company’s former Co-CEO, $3.9 million of expenses associated with legal settlements, $1.9 million of expenses associated with lease terminations, and $0.2 million of net other non-recurring expenses, offset by a $1.9 million gain in connection with the consolidation of an equity method investment, and $0.9 million of net reductions in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions. The 2020 period includes $4.2 million of net reductions in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions, offset by a $1.5 million expense related to a transition services agreement executed in connection with an acquisition completed in 2020, and $0.2 million of net other non-recurring expenses. The 2019 period 58 Table of Contents includes $0.9 million of net increases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions, and $0.5 million of other non-recurring expenses. (h) Represents the value of patient equipment obtained during the respective period without regard to whether the equipment is purchased or financed through lease transactions. Liquidity and Capital Resources AdaptHealth’s principal sources of liquidity are its operating cash flows, borrowings under its credit agreements and other debt arrangements, and proceeds from equity issuances. AdaptHealth has used these funds to meet its capital requirements, which primarily consist of salaries, labor, benefits and other employee-related costs, product and supply costs, third-party customer service, billing and collections and logistics costs, capital expenditures including patient equipment, acquisitions and debt service. AdaptHealth’s future capital expenditure requirements will depend on many factors, including its patient volume and revenue growth rates. AdaptHealth’s capital expenditures are made in advance of patients beginning service. Certain operating costs are incurred at the beginning of the equipment service period and during initial patient set up. AdaptHealth believes that its expected operating cash flows, together with its existing cash, cash equivalents, and amounts available under its existing credit agreement, will continue to be sufficient to fund its operations and growth strategies for at least the next twelve months. AdaptHealth may seek additional equity or debt financing in connection with the growth of its business, primarily for acquisitions. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may cause disruption in the capital markets, which could make financing more difficult and/or expensive. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, AdaptHealth may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all. If additional capital is unavailable when desired, AdaptHealth’s business, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. As of December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth had approximately $149.6 million of cash and cash equivalents. To supplement its cash liquidity, in April 2020, AdaptHealth received recoupable advance payments of $45.8 million, which were made available by CMS under the CARES Act. In addition, in connection with an acquisition completed in July 2020, AdaptHealth assumed a liability of $3.7 million relating to CMS recoupable advance payments received by the acquired company prior to the date of acquisition. The recoupment of the advance payments by CMS began in April 2021 and is being applied to services provided and revenue recognized during the period in which the recoupment occurs, and will impact AdaptHealth’s cash receipts for services provided until such time all amounts have been recouped. During the year ended December 31, 2021, CMS has recouped a total of $36.7 million. As of December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth has deferred a total of $12.8 million related to CMS recoupable advance payments, which is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, in April 2020, AdaptHealth received distributions of the CARES Act PRF of $17.2 million. Subsequent to April 2020, AdaptHealth completed several acquisitions in which the acquired companies received a total of $22.2 million of PRF payments prior to the applicable dates of acquisition. In connection with the accounting for these acquisitions, AdaptHealth recorded assumed liabilities of $7.7 million relating to the PRF payments received by the acquired companies. The PRF payments are targeted to offset lost revenue and expenditures incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The PRF payments are subject to certain restrictions and are subject to recoupment if not used for designated purposes. As a condition to receiving distributions, providers were required to agree to certain terms and conditions, including, among other things, that the funds would be used for lost revenues and unreimbursed COVID-19 related expenses as defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS”). All recipients of PRF payments were required to comply with the reporting requirements described in the terms and conditions and as determined by HHS. AdaptHealth recognizes grant payments as income when there is reasonable assurance that it has complied with the conditions associated with the grant. During the fourth quarter of each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, AdaptHealth recognized grant income of $10.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively, related to the PRF payments determined to comply with conditions associated with the grant. 59 Table of Contents HHS has indicated that the CARES Act PRF are subject to ongoing reporting and changes to the terms and conditions, and there have been several updates to such reporting requirements and terms and conditions since they were issued by HHS. Such updates have related to changes to the guidance regarding utilization of the funds granted from the PRF and updates to the reporting requirements of such funds, among other updates. To the extent that there is any future updated guidance from HHS or modifications to the terms and conditions, it may affect AdaptHealth’s ability to comply and AdaptHealth could be required to reverse the recognition of the grant income recorded and return a portion of the funds received, which could be material to AdaptHealth. AdaptHealth is continuing to monitor the terms and conditions issued by HHS. Furthermore, HHS has indicated that it will be closely monitoring and, along with the Office of Inspector General (United States) (OIG), auditing providers to ensure that recipients comply with the terms and conditions of relief programs and to prevent fraud and abuse. All providers will be subject to civil and criminal penalties for any deliberate omissions, misrepresentations or falsifications of any information given to HHS. Also, as permitted under the CARES Act, AdaptHealth elected to defer certain portions of employer-paid FICA taxes otherwise payable from March 27, 2020 to January 1, 2021. In total, AdaptHealth deferred $8.6 million under this provision. AdaptHealth paid $4.3 million on January 4, 2022 and the remaining balance of $4.3 million is expected to be paid shortly after December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, $4.3 million is included in other current liabilities and $4.3 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2021, AdaptHealth had $785.0 million outstanding under its existing credit facility. In January 2021, AdaptHealth refinanced its debt borrowings and entered into a new credit agreement, which was subsequently amended in April 2021 (the "2021 Credit Agreement”). The 2021 Credit Agreement consists of a $800 million term loan (the "2021 Term Loan”) and $450 million in commitments for revolving credit loans with a $55 million letter of credit sublimit (the "2021 Revolver”), both with maturities in January 2026. The borrowing under the 2021 Term Loan requires quarterly principal repayments of $5.0 million beginning June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2023, increasing to $10.0 million beginning June 30, 2023 through December 31, 2025, and the unpaid principal balance is due at maturity in January 2026. Borrowings under the 2021 Revolver may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including for capital expenditures and acquisitions permitted under the 2021 Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, and the date of this filing, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Revolver. Amounts borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement bear interest quarterly at variable rates based upon the sum of (a) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (subject to a zero percent floor) equal to the LIBOR (as defined) for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate, plus (b) an applicable margin (as defined) ranging from 1.50% to 3.25% per annum based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined). The 2021 Revolver carries a commitment fee during the term of the 2021 Credit Agreement ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum of the actual daily undrawn portion of the 2021 Revolver based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. Under the 2021 Credit Agreement, AdaptHealth is subject to a number of restrictive covenants that, among other things, impose operating and financial restrictions on AdaptHealth. Financial covenants include a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, both as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement. The 2021 Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including, among other things, failure to make payments when due thereunder, failure to observe or perform certain covenants, cross- defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency-related events, and non-compliance with healthcare laws. Any borrowing under the 2021 Credit Agreement may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, and any amounts repaid under the 2021 Revolver may be reborrowed. Mandatory prepayments are required under the 2021 Revolver when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed the total commitments for revolving credit loans. Mandatory prepayments are also required in connection with the disposition of assets to the extent not reinvested, unpermitted debt transactions, and excess cash flow, as defined, if certain leverage tests are not met. AdaptHealth was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2021. In August 2021, AdaptHealth LLC issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "5.125% Senior Notes”). The 5.125% Senior Notes will mature on March 1, 2030. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on March 1st and September 1st of each year, beginning on March 1, 2022. The 5.125% Senior Notes will be redeemable at AdaptHealth’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2025, and the redemption price for the 5.125% Senior Notes if redeemed during the 12 months beginning (i) March 1, 2025 is 102.563%, (ii) March 1, 2026 is 101.281%, (iii) March 1, 2027 and thereafter is 100.000%, in each 60 Table of Contents case together with accrued and unpaid interest. AdaptHealth may also redeem some or all of the 5.125% Senior Notes before March 1, 2025 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes, plus a "make-whole” premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, AdaptHealth may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes before March 1, 2025 with the proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.125% of the principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest. Furthermore, AdaptHealth may be required to make an offer to purchase the 5.125% Senior Notes upon the sale of certain assets or upon specific kinds of changes of control. In January 2021, AdaptHealth LLC issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "4.625% Senior Notes”). The 4.625% Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2029. Interest on the 4.625% Senior Notes is payable on February 1st and August 1st of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires its management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. In addition, actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Critical accounting policies and significant estimates are those that the Company’s management considers the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s critical accounting policies and significant estimates in relation to its consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, business combinations, and valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenues for services and related products that the Company provides to patients for home medical equipment, related supplies, and other items. The Company’s revenues are recognized in the period in which services and related products are provided to customers and are recorded either at a point in time for the sale of supplies and disposables, or over the fixed monthly service period for equipment. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive from patients or under reimbursement arrangements with Medicare, Medicaid and third-party payors, in exchange for those goods and services. The Company determines the transaction price based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, adjusted for estimates of variable consideration, such as implicit price concessions. The Company utilizes the expected value method to determine the amount of variable consideration that should be included to arrive at the transaction price, using contractual agreements and historical reimbursement experience within each payor type. The Company applies constraint to the transaction price, such that net revenue is recorded only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in the future. If actual amounts of 63 Table of Contents consideration ultimately received differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net revenue in the period such adjustments become known. Sales revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenues for the sale of sleep therapy equipment supplies (including CPAP resupply products), durable medical equipment and related supplies (including wheelchairs, hospital beds and infusion pumps), diabetic medical devices and supplies (including continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and insulin pumps), and other HME products and supplies are recognized when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers, which is generally upon shipment for direct to consumer medical devices and supplies and upon delivery to the home for durable medical equipment. The Company provides certain equipment to patients which is reimbursed periodically in fixed monthly payments for as long as the patient is using the equipment and medical necessity continues (in certain cases, the fixed monthly payments are capped at a certain amount). The equipment provided to the patient is based upon medical necessity as documented by prescriptions and other documentation received from the patient’s physician. The patient generally does not negotiate or select the manufacturer or model of the equipment prescribed by their physician and delivered by the Company. Once initial delivery of this equipment is made to the patient for initial setup, a monthly billing process is established based on the initial setup service date. The Company recognizes the fixed monthly revenue ratably over the service period as earned, less estimated adjustments, and defers revenue for the portion of the monthly bill that is unearned. No separate revenue is earned from the initial setup process. Included in fixed monthly revenue are unbilled amounts for which the revenue recognition criteria had been met as of period-end but were not yet billed to the payor. The estimate of net unbilled fixed monthly revenue recognized is based on historical trends and estimates of future collectability. The Company’s billing system contains payor-specific price tables that reflect the fee schedule amounts in effect or contractually agreed upon by various government and commercial insurance payors for each item of equipment or supply provided to a customer. Revenues are recorded based on the applicable fee schedule. The Company has established a contractual allowance to account for adjustments that result from differences between the payment amount received and the expected realizable amount. If the payment amount received differs from the net realizable amount, an adjustment is recorded to revenues in the period that these payment differences are determined. The Company reports revenues in its consolidated financial statements net of such adjustments. Accounts Receivable Due to the continuing changes in the healthcare industry and third-party reimbursement environment, certain estimates are required to record accounts receivable at their net realizable values. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. The complexity of third-party billing arrangements and laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. The Company performs a periodic analysis to review the valuation of accounts receivable and collectability of outstanding balances. Management’s evaluation takes into consideration such factors as historical cash collections experience, business and economic conditions, trends in healthcare coverage, other collection indicators and information about specific receivables. The Company’s evaluation also considers the age and composition of the outstanding amounts in determining their estimated net realizable value. Receivables are considered past due when not collected by established due dates. Specific patient balances are written off after collection efforts have been followed and the account has been determined to be uncollectible. Revisions in reserve estimates are recorded as an adjustment to net revenue in the period of revision. Included in accounts receivable are earned but unbilled accounts receivables. Billing delays, ranging from several days to several weeks, can occur due to the Company’s policy of compiling required payor specific documentation prior to billing for its services rendered. 64 Table of Contents Business Combinations The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business acquisitions. The results of operations of the businesses acquired by the Company are included as of the respective acquisition date. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of any contingent consideration, is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. To the extent the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. Patient relationships, medical records and patient lists are not reported as separate intangible assets due to the regulatory requirements and lack of contractual agreements but are part of goodwill. Customer related relationships are not reported as separate intangible assets but are part of goodwill as authorizing physicians are under no obligation to refer the Company’s services to their patients, who are free to change physicians and service providers at any time. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, as it obtains more information regarding asset valuations and liabilities assumed that existed but were not available at the acquisition date, which is generally up to one year after the acquisition closing date. Acquisition related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. Valuation of Goodwill The Company has a significant amount of goodwill on its balance sheet that resulted from the business acquisitions the Company has made in recent years. Goodwill is not amortized and is assessed for impairment annually and upon the occurrence of a triggering event or change in circumstances indicating a possible impairment. Such changes in circumstance can include, among others, changes in the legal environment, reimbursement environment, operating performance, and/or future prospects. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year. The impairment assessment can be performed on either a quantitative or qualitative basis. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis. If determined necessary, the Company applies the quantitative impairment test to identify and measure the amount of impairment, if any. Long-Lived Assets The Company’s long-lived assets, such as equipment and other fixed assets and definite-lived identifiable intangible assets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Definite-lived identifiable intangible assets consist of tradenames, payor contracts, contractual rental agreements and developed technology. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed. These assets are assessed for impairment consistent with the Company’s long- lived assets. The following table summarizes the useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets acquired: Tradenames Payor contracts Contractual rental agreements Developed technology 5 to 10 years years years years 10 2 5 65 Table of Contents Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently issued accounting pronouncements that may be relevant to the Company’s operations but have not yet been adopted are outlined in Note 2 (dd), Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, to its consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business that cover a wide range of matters. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews its accruals at least quarterly and adjusts accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. At this time, the Company has no material accruals related to lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings. While there can be no assurance, based on the Company’s evaluation of information currently available, the Company’s management believes any liability that may ultimately result from resolution of such loss contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions or results of operations. However, the Company’s assessment may be affected by limited information. Accordingly, the Company’s assessment may change in the future based upon availability of new information and further developments in the proceedings of such matters. The results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of PPS HME Holdings LLC (PPS), in May 2018, the Company assumed a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) at one of PPS’ subsidiaries, Braden Partners L.P. d/b/a Pacific Pulmonary Services (BP). The CIA was entered into with the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (OIG). The CIA has a five-year term which expires in April 2022. In connection with the acquisition and integration of PPS by AdaptHealth, the OIG confirmed that the requirements of the CIA imposed upon BP would only apply to the operations of BP and therefore no operations of any other AdaptHealth affiliate are subject to the requirements of the CIA following the acquisition. On December 16, 2021, the OIG-HHS notified PPS that its report for the period ended March 31, 2021 had been accepted and PPS had satisfied its obligations under the CIA as of such date. On July 25, 2017, AdaptHealth Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AdaptHealth Holdings”), was served with a subpoena by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ("EDPA”) pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3486 to produce certain audit records and internal communications regarding ventilator billing. The investigation focused on billing practices regarding one payor that contracted for bundled payments for certain ventilators. AdaptHealth Holdings has cooperated with investigators and, through agreement with the EDPA, has submitted all information requested in the Company’s possession. An independent third party was retained by AdaptHealth Holdings that identified overpayments and underpayments for ventilator billings related to the payor, and a remittance was sent to reconcile that account. On October 3, 2019, the Company received a follow-up civil investigative demand from the EDPA regarding a document previously produced to the EDPA and patients included in the review by the independent third party. The Company has responded to the EDPA and supplemented its production as requested with any relevant documents in the Company’s possession. During subsequent communications, the EDPA indicated to the Company that the investigation remained ongoing. The EDPA also requested additional information regarding certain patient services and claims refunds processed by the Company in 2017. The Company produced this information in coordination with the EDPA. The EDPA has also raised questions regarding other aspects of ventilator billing. While the Company cannot provide any assurance as to whether the EDPA will seek additional information or pursue this matter further, it does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company. In March 2019, prior to its acquisition by the Company, AeroCare was served with a civil investigative demand ("CID”) issued by the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky ("WDKY”). The CID seeks to investigate allegations that AeroCare improperly billed, or caused others to improperly bill, for oxygen tank contents that were not delivered to beneficiaries. The WDKY has requested documents related to such oxygen tank content billing as 66 Table of Contents well as other categories of information. AeroCare has cooperated with the WDKY and has produced documents and provided explanations of its billing practices. In September 2020, the WDKY indicated the investigation includes alleged violations of the federal False Claims Act and as well as alleged violations of state Medicaid false claims acts in ten states. AeroCare has cooperated fully with the investigation and has indicated to the WDKY that concerns raised do not accurately identify Medicare coverage criteria and that state Medicaid coverage requirements generally do not provide for separate reimbursement for portable gaseous oxygen contents in the circumstances at issue. While the Company cannot provide any assurance as to whether the WDKY will seek additional information or pursue this matter further, it does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company. On June 28, 2019, Solara, which was acquired by the Company in July 2020, determined that an unauthorized third-party gained access to a limited number of employee email accounts beginning in April 2019, as a result of a phishing email campaign. Solara undertook a comprehensive review of the accounts to identify what personal information was stored within the accounts and to whom that information related. In connection with the incident, Solara notified potentially affected individuals and reported this incident to law enforcement and relevant state and federal regulators. Solara was a defendant in a class action regarding the incident in federal court. In October 2021, the parties tentatively agreed to a settlement for a payment of $5.1 million, which will be covered in full by insurance and an escrow established at the time of the Solara acquisition. On January 25, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Preliminary Approval of the settlement. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a liability of $5.1 million and a corresponding indemnification asset, which are included in other current liabilities and other current assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On July 29, 2021, Robert Charles Faille Jr., a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a purported class action complaint against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Complaint”). The Complaint purports to be asserted on behalf of a class of persons who purchased the Company’s stock between November 11, 2019 and July 16, 2021. The Complaint generally alleges that the Company and certain of its current and former officers violated federal securities laws by making allegedly false and misleading statements and/or failing to disclose material information regarding the Company’s organic growth trajectory. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages. On October 14, 2021, the Delaware County Employees Retirement System and the Bucks County Employees Retirement System were named Lead Plaintiffs. Pursuant to the scheduling order, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 22, 2021 (the "Consolidated Complaint”), which asserts substantially the same claim, but adds a number of current and former directors of the Company as additional defendants and a new theory of recovery based on the Company’s alleged failure to disclose information concerning the Company’s former Co-CEO’s alleged tax fraud arising from certain past private activity. On January 20, 2022, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. Lead Plaintiffs’ opposition to defendants’ motion is due on March 21, 2022, and defendants’ reply is due April 15, 2022. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations contained in the Consolidated Complaint, but there can be no assurance that the defense will be successful. On December 6, 2021, a putative shareholder of the Company, Carol Hessler, filed a shareholder derivative complaint against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Derivative Complaint”). The Derivative Complaint generally alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company by allegedly causing or allowing misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding the Company’s organic growth and the Company’s former Co-CEO’s alleged criminal activity, failing to maintain an adequate system of oversight, disclosure controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting and due diligence into the Company’s management team, and engaging in insider trading. The Derivative Complaint also alleges claims for waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. Finally, the Derivative Complaint alleges that certain of the individual defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by allegedly negligently issuing, causing to be issued, and participating in the issuance of materially misleading statements to stockholders in the Company’s Proxy Statements on Schedule DEF 14A in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 3, 2021, and the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on July 27, 2021. The Derivative Complaint seeks, among other things, an award of money damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations contained in the Derivative Complaint, but there can be no assurance that the defense will be successful. 67 Table of Contents Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Our exposure to market risk relates to fluctuations in interest rates from borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility. Our interest accrued on our debt borrowings is based on a variable rate which is tied to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin and therefore is exposed to changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2021, there was $785.0 million outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan, $14.9 million outstanding under letters of credit, and additional availability under the 2021 Revolver, net of letters of credit outstanding, was $435.1 million.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 1, 2022 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Notes 1 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of January 1, 2021 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical 70 Table of Contents audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Implicit Price Concession As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company generates revenues for services and related products that the Company provides to patients and receives payments from Medicare, Medicaid, third-party, and patient payors. The Company’s net revenue was $2,455 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenues are recorded using payor-specific transaction prices based on amounts in effect or contractually agreed by Medicare, Medicaid, third-party and patient payors, and are adjusted for estimated implicit price concessions, to reflect the net revenues which the Company expects to receive. The Company utilizes historical reimbursement experience to determine the estimated implicit price concessions. We identified the evaluation of the implicit price concession estimate as a critical audit matter. Complex and subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the relevance and reliability of the historical reimbursement experience. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design of certain internal controls over the Company’s implicit price concession estimate. To assess the relevance and reliability of the Company’s implicit price concession estimate, we evaluated the Company’s historical reimbursement experience on net revenues recorded during the current year. We tested the relevance and reliability of the underlying data that served as a basis for the implicit price concession estimate which included the historical reimbursement experience by selecting certain historical payments and agreeing to underlying support. We also assessed the outcome of the implicit price concession estimate recorded in the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements and current year trends, to identify any circumstances or conditions that were relevant to the determination of the current year implicit price concession estimate. Evaluation of fair value of tradenames intangible assets acquired As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on February 1, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of AeroCare Holdings, Inc., which was accounted for as a business combination. As a result of the transaction, the Company acquired acquisition-date fair value intangible assets, including $68.6 million for tradenames. We identified the evaluation of the acquisition-date fair value of the tradenames intangible asset as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the royalty rate used in the valuation of tradenames intangible asset. Additionally, specialized skills and knowledge were required to assess the royalty rate assumption. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design of certain internal controls over the Company’s acquisition-date valuation process specifically related to the development and review of the royalty rate assumption. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating the royalty rate by comparing to a royalty rate for a set of comparable companies. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania March 1, 2022 71 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and Board of Directors AdaptHealth Corp.: Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited AdaptHealth Corp. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses, described below, on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) / members’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 1, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment as follows: The Company identified material weaknesses related to an insufficient complement of resources resulting in an ineffective risk assessment. The Company’s ineffective risk assessment resulted in material weaknesses from both lack of implementation and ineffectiveness of process level controls in substantially all processes that support the Company’s financial statements and reporting. The ineffective risk assessment also resulted in ineffective general information technology controls due to an incomplete understanding of the risks associated with information technology systems relevant to the Company’s financial reporting processes. The material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2021 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report on those consolidated financial statements. The Company acquired AeroCare Holdings, Inc., Spiro Health Services, LLC, and Community Surgical Supply of Toms River, LLC during 2021, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, AeroCare Holdings, Inc., Spiro Health Services, LLC, and Community Surgical Supply of Toms River, LLC’s internal control over financial reporting representing total assets of $342.8 million and total revenues of $718.0 million, included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of AeroCare Holdings, Inc., Spiro Health Services, LLC, and Community Surgical Supply of Toms River, LLC. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 72 Table of Contents We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ KPMG LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania March 1, 2022 73 Table of Contents Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable Inventory Prepaid and other current assets Total current assets Equipment and other fixed assets, net Operating lease right-of-use assets Goodwill Identifiable intangible assets, net Other assets Deferred tax assets Total Assets ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 AdaptHealth Corp. and subsidiaries (AdaptHealth or the Company), f/k/a DFB Healthcare Acquisitions Corp. (DFB), a Delaware corporation, was originally formed in November 2017 as a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination involving one or more businesses. On July 8, 2019, AdaptHealth Holdings LLC (AdaptHealth Holdings) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), as amended on October 15, 2019, with DFB, pursuant to which AdaptHealth Holdings combined with DFB (the Business Combination). The merger was approved by DFB’s stockholders, and the Business Combination closed on November 8, 2019. AdaptHealth Holdings was the accounting acquirer in the merger, which was treated as a reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger was treated as the equivalent of AdaptHealth Holdings issuing stock for the net assets of DFB, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DFB were stated at historical costs in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. In connection with the Business Combination, the name of the combined company was changed to AdaptHealth Corp. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the closing date, the Company contributed cash to AdaptHealth Holdings in exchange for AdaptHealth Holdings common unit interests equal to the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding on the closing date. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company also issued and sold in a private placement an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate consideration of $125,000,000. In addition, the Company (1) issued 17,386,201 shares of Class A Common Stock to certain members of AdaptHealth Holdings in exchange for their interests in AdaptHealth Holdings, and (2) issued 32,113,799 shares of Class B Common Stock to certain members of AdaptHealth Holdings who retained their common unit interests in AdaptHealth Holdings. The number of shares issued and outstanding of the Company immediately following the closing of the Business Combination is summarized in the table below (in thousands): Total shares outstanding prior to the Business Combination Less: redemption of public shares Add: shares issued in private placement Add: shares issued in connection with the Business Combination Total shares outstanding at the closing date of the Business Combination Class A Common Stock Class B Common Stock 31,250 (20,840) 12,500 17,386 40,296 — — — 32,114 32,114 Following the completion of the Business Combination, substantially all of the Company’s assets and operations were held and conducted by AdaptHealth Holdings and its subsidiaries, and the Company’s only assets were equity interests which represented a 56% controlling ownership of AdaptHealth Holdings as of November 8, 2019. Following the completion of the Business Combination, certain members of AdaptHealth Holdings who retained their common unit interests in AdaptHealth Holdings, held the remaining 44% noncontrolling ownership as of November 8, 2019. These members held common unit interests of AdaptHealth Holdings and a corresponding number of non-economic Class B Common stock, which enabled the holder to one vote per share. Subsequent to the Business Combination, all of the common unit interests of AdaptHealth Holdings and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock, of which the final 13,218,758 of the exchanges occurred on January 1, 2021. As a result, the prior holders of the common unit interests of AdaptHealth Holdings no longer own a direct noncontrolling economic interest in AdaptHealth Holdings. 80 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Unless the context otherwise requires, "the Company”, "we,” "us,” and "our” refer, for periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination, to AdaptHealth Holdings and its subsidiaries and, for periods upon or after the completion of the Business Combination, to AdaptHealth Corp. and its subsidiaries, including AdaptHealth Holdings and its subsidiaries. AdaptHealth is a national leader in providing patient-centered, healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment (HME), medical supplies, and related services. AdaptHealth focuses primarily on providing (i) sleep therapy equipment, supplies and related services (including CPAP and bi PAP services) to individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), (ii) medical devices and supplies to patients for the treatment of diabetes (including continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and insulin pumps), (iii) home medical equipment to patients discharged from acute care and other facilities, (iv) oxygen and related chronic therapy services in the home, and (v) other HME devices and supplies on behalf of chronically ill patients with wound care, urological, incontinence, ostomy and nutritional supply needs. AdaptHealth services beneficiaries of Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance payors. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. As discussed in Note 1, Nature of Business, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with DFB treated as the acquired company and AdaptHealth Holdings as the acquirer, for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the equity structure has been restated to that of the Company. Prior to August 19, 2021, the Company was an "emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the Securities Act), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the JOBS Act), and took advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and other exemptions. As of August 19, 2021, the Company no longer qualified as an emerging growth company due to issuing more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period as of that date, and as a result is no longer exempt from the reporting requirements discussed above. (b) Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Accounting Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to revenue 81 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 recognition and the valuation of accounts receivable (implicit price concession), income taxes, contingent consideration, equity-based compensation, interest rate swaps, warrant liability and long-lived assets, including goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (d) Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenues for services and related products that the Company provides to patients for home medical equipment, related supplies, and other items. The Company’s revenues are recognized in the period in which services and related products are provided to customers and are recorded either at a point in time for the sale of supplies and disposables, or over the fixed monthly service period for equipment. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive from patients or under reimbursement arrangements with Medicare, Medicaid and third-party payors, in exchange for those goods and services. The Company determines the transaction price based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, adjusted for estimates of variable consideration, such as implicit price concessions. The Company utilizes the expected value method to determine the amount of variable consideration that should be included to arrive at the transaction price, using contractual agreements and historical reimbursement experience within each payor type. The Company applies constraint to the transaction price, such that net revenue is recorded only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in the future. If actual amounts of consideration ultimately received differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net revenue in the period such adjustments become known. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as a result of a change in estimate, the Company decreased net revenue and accounts receivable by approximately $9.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively, due to the consideration ultimately received compared with the amounts previously estimated. Sales revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenues for the sale of sleep therapy equipment supplies (including CPAP resupply products), durable medical equipment and related supplies (including wheelchairs, hospital beds and infusion pumps), diabetic medical devices and supplies (including continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and insulin pumps), and other HME products and supplies are recognized when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers, which is generally upon shipment for direct to consumer medical devices and supplies and upon delivery to the home for durable medical equipment. The Company provides certain equipment to patients which is reimbursed periodically in fixed monthly payments for as long as the patient is using the equipment and medical necessity continues (in certain cases, the fixed monthly payments are capped at a certain amount). The equipment provided to the patient is based upon medical necessity as documented by prescriptions and other documentation received from the patient’s physician. The patient generally does not negotiate or select the manufacturer or model of the equipment prescribed by their physician and delivered by the Company. Once initial delivery of this equipment is made to the patient for initial setup, a monthly billing process is established based on the initial setup service date. The Company recognizes the fixed monthly revenue ratably over the service period as earned, less estimated adjustments, and defers revenue for the portion of the monthly bill that is unearned. No separate revenue is earned from the initial setup process. Included in fixed monthly revenue are unbilled amounts for which the revenue recognition criteria had been met as of period-end but were not yet billed to the payor. The estimate of net unbilled fixed monthly revenue recognized is based on historical trends and estimates of future collectability. The Company’s billing system contains payor-specific price tables that reflect the fee schedule amounts in effect or contractually agreed upon by various government and commercial insurance payors for each item of equipment 82 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 or supply provided to a customer. Revenues are recorded based on the applicable fee schedule. The Company has established a contractual allowance to account for adjustments that result from differences between the payment amount received and the expected realizable amount. If the payment amount received differs from the net realizable amount, an adjustment is recorded to revenues in the period that these payment differences are determined. The Company reports revenues in its consolidated financial statements net of such adjustments. The Company recognizes revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets only when services have been provided. Since the Company has performed its obligation under the contract, it has unconditional rights to the consideration recorded as contract assets and therefore classifies those billed and unbilled contract assets as accounts receivable. Fixed monthly payments that the Company receives from customers in advance of providing services represent contract liabilities. Such payments primarily relate to patients who are billed monthly in advance and are recognized over the period as earned. The Company disaggregates net revenue from contracts with customers by payor type and by core service lines. The Company believes that disaggregation of net revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The payment terms and conditions within the Company’s revenue-generating contracts vary by payor type and payor source. The composition of net revenue by payor type for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are as follows (in thousands): Insurance Government Patient pay Net revenue 2021 1,499,154 685,513 269,868 2,454,535 $ $ Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ 657,033 295,657 103,699 1,056,389 $ $ 300,361 168,686 60,597 529,644 83 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. The complexity of third-party billing arrangements and laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. The Company performs a periodic analysis to review the valuation of accounts receivable and collectability of outstanding balances. Management’s evaluation takes into consideration such factors as historical cash collections experience, business and economic conditions, trends in healthcare coverage, other collection indicators and information about specific receivables. The Company’s evaluation also considers the age and composition of the outstanding amounts in determining their estimated net realizable value. Receivables are considered past due when not collected by established due dates. Specific patient balances are written off after collection efforts have been followed and the account has been determined to be uncollectible. Revisions in reserve estimates are recorded as an adjustment to net revenue in the period of revision. 84 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Included in accounts receivable are earned but unbilled accounts receivables. Billing delays, ranging from several days to several weeks, can occur due to the Company’s policy of compiling required payor specific documentation prior to billing for its services rendered. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s unbilled accounts receivable was $23.8 million and $20.2 million, respectively. (f) COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted AdaptHealth’s business, as well as its patients, communities, and employees. AdaptHealth’s priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic remain protecting the health and safety of its employees (including patient-facing employees providing respiratory and other services), maximizing the availability of its services and products to support patient health needs, and maintaining the operational and financial stability of its business. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the National Emergency Declaration, dated March 13, 2020, in the first quarter of 2020, AdaptHealth activated certain business interruption protocols, including acquisition and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) to its patient-facing employees, accelerated capital expenditures of certain products and relocation of significant portions of its workforce to "work-from-home” status. Federal, state, and local authorities have taken several actions designed to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients and to mitigate the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Legislative actions taken by the federal government include the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act”), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Through the CARES Act, the federal government has authorized payments to be distributed to healthcare providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("Provider Relief Fund” or "PRF”). Additionally, the CARES Act revised the Medicare accelerated and advance payment program in an attempt to disburse payments to healthcare providers more quickly to mitigate the financial impact on healthcare providers. The Company’s participation in these programs and related accounting policies are summarized below. Grant Income. In April 2020, the Company received distributions of the CARES Act PRF of $17.2 million. Subsequent to April 2020, the Company completed several acquisitions in which the acquired companies received a total of $22.2 million of PRF payments prior to the applicable dates of acquisition. In connection with the accounting for these acquisitions, the Company recorded assumed liabilities of $7.7 million relating to the PRF payments received by the acquired companies. The PRF payments are targeted to offset lost revenue and expenditures incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The PRF payments are subject to certain restrictions and are subject to recoupment if not used for designated purposes. As a condition to receiving distributions, providers were required to agree to certain terms and conditions, including, among other things, that the funds would be used for lost revenues and unreimbursed COVID-19 related expenses as defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS”). All recipients of PRF payments were required to comply with the reporting requirements described in the terms and conditions and as determined by HHS. The Company recognizes grant payments as income when there is reasonable assurance that it has complied with the conditions associated with the grant. During the fourth quarter of each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized grant income of $10.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively, related to the PRF payments determined to comply with conditions associated with the grant. HHS has indicated that the CARES Act PRF are subject to ongoing reporting and changes to the terms and conditions, and there have been several updates to such reporting requirements and terms and conditions since they were issued by HHS. Such updates have related to changes to the guidance regarding utilization of the funds granted from the PRF and updates to the reporting requirements of such funds, among other updates. To the extent that there is any future updated guidance from HHS or modifications to the terms and conditions, it may affect the Company’s ability to comply and the Company could be required to reverse the recognition of the grant income recorded and return a portion of the funds received, which could be material to the Company. The Company is continuing to monitor the terms and conditions issued by HHS. Furthermore, HHS has indicated that it will be closely monitoring and, along with the Office of Inspector General (United States) (OIG), auditing providers to ensure that recipients comply with the terms and 85 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 conditions of relief programs and to prevent fraud and abuse. All providers will be subject to civil and criminal penalties for any deliberate omissions, misrepresentations or falsifications of any information given to HHS. Medicare Accelerated Payment Program. In certain circumstances, when a healthcare provider is experiencing financial difficulty due to delays in receiving payment for the Medicare services it provided, it may be eligible for an accelerated or advance payment pursuant to the Medicare accelerated payment program. The CARES Act revised the Medicare accelerated and advance payment program in an attempt to disburse payments to healthcare providers more quickly to mitigate the financial impact on healthcare providers. In April 2020, the Company received recoupable advance payments of $45.8 million, which were made available by CMS under the CARES Act. In addition, in connection with an acquisition completed in July 2020, the Company assumed a liability of $3.7 million relating to funds received by the acquired company prior to the date of acquisition for CMS recoupable advance payments. The recoupment of the advance payments by CMS began in April 2021 and is being applied to services provided and revenue recognized during the period in which the recoupment occurs, and will impact the Company’s cash receipts for services provided until such time all amounts have been recouped. During the year ended December 31, 2021, CMS has recouped a total of $36.7 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred a total of $12.8 million related to CMS recoupable advance payments, which is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferral of Employment Tax Payments. As permitted under the CARES Act, the Company elected to defer certain portions of employer-paid FICA taxes otherwise payable from March 27, 2020 to January 1, 2021. In total, the Company deferred $8.6 million under this provision. In January 2022, the Company paid $4.3 million of the amount deferred and the remaining balance of $4.3 million is expected to be paid shortly after December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, $4.3 million is included in other current liabilities and $4.3 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments and numerous evolving factors that it may not be able to accurately predict, and could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. (g) Fair Value Accounting Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), creates a single definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Assets and liabilities adjusted to fair value in the balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Level inputs, as defined by ASC 820, are as follows: Level input Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Input Definition Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Refer to Note 6, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, for additional information. 86 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (h) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature. The table below shows the carrying amounts and estimated fair values, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, of the Company’s primary long-term debt arrangements (in thousands): Term loan and revolver Senior unsecured notes Note payable December 31, 2021 Carrying Value Fair Value $ $ 780,414 1,423,138 $ — $ 2,203,552 780,414 $ 1,459,137 — 2,239,551 $ December 31, 2020 Carrying Value Fair Value 301,998 370,022 154,711 826,731 301,998 342,022 140,361 784,381 $ $ The borrowings under the Company’s term loan and revolver, which were entered into in July 2020, bear interest at the variable rates described in Note 10, Debt, which management believes approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes is based upon current market prices. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on the earliest call price associated with the debt, which is based on a call price that is less than one year from the balance sheet date, which management believes approximates the exit price notion of fair value measurement. (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash represents cash on hand and deposits held at banks. The Company maintains cash in demand deposit accounts with federally insured banks. At times, the balances in these accounts may be in excess of federally insured limits. Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following (in thousands): (in thousands) Cash Money market accounts Total (j) Inventory December 31, 2021 149,613 14 149,627 $ $ 2020 94,360 5,602 99,962 $ $ Inventory consists of equipment and medical supplies to be sold to customers and is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in-first-out method. These finished goods are charged to cost of net revenue in the period in which products and related services are provided to customers. (k) Equipment and Other Fixed Assets Equipment and other fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or, when acquired as part of a business combination, fair value at date of acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives for patient medical equipment correlate with the medical reimbursement periods. Computer equipment, vehicles and other assets are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major expenditures for property acquisitions and those expenditures that substantially increase useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed as incurred. 87 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are: Patient medical equipment Vehicles Other (l) Long-Lived Assets 13 months - 5 years 5 years 2 - 7 years The Company’s long-lived assets, such as equipment and other fixed assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and definite-lived identifiable intangible assets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Definite-lived identifiable intangible assets consist of tradenames, payor contracts, contractual rental agreements and developed technology. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed. These assets are assessed for impairment consistent with the Company’s long- lived assets. The following table summarizes the useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets acquired: Tradenames Payor contracts Contractual rental agreements Developed technology 5 to 10 10 2 5 years years years years The Company did not incur any impairment charges on long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. In addition to consideration of impairment upon the events or changes in circumstances described above, management regularly evaluates the remaining lives of its long-lived assets. (m) Valuation of Goodwill The Company has a significant amount of goodwill on its balance sheet that resulted from the business acquisitions the Company has made in recent years. Goodwill is not amortized and is assessed for impairment annually and upon the occurrence of a triggering event or change in circumstances indicating a possible impairment. Such changes in circumstance can include, among others, changes in the legal environment, reimbursement environment, operating performance, and/or future prospects. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year. The impairment assessment can be performed on either a quantitative or qualitative basis. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis. If determined necessary, the Company applies the quantitative impairment test to identify and measure the amount of impairment, if any. (n) Business Combinations The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business acquisitions. The results of operations of the businesses acquired by the Company are included as of the respective acquisition date. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of any contingent consideration, is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. To the extent the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of the identifiable tangible 88 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. Patient relationships, medical records and patient lists are not reported as separate intangible assets due to the regulatory requirements and lack of contractual agreements but are part of goodwill. Customer related relationships are not reported as separate intangible assets but are part of goodwill as authorizing physicians are under no obligation to refer the Company’s services to their patients, who are free to change physicians and service providers at any time. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, as it obtains more information regarding asset valuations and liabilities assumed that existed but were not available at the acquisition date, which is generally up to one year after the acquisition closing date. Acquisition related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. (o) Deferred Financing Costs Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings, referred to as deferred financing costs, are capitalized and included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in other assets for costs associated with revolving credit facilities, and as a reduction of the carrying value of debt for costs associated with term loans and notes payable. Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the related financing agreement. Refer to Note 8, Deferred Financing Costs, for additional information. (p) Accounting for Leases During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASC 842) with an effective date of January 1, 2021, using the modified retrospective approach, for leases that existed on January 1, 2021. ASC 842 requires the Company to recognize a lease liability, which represents the discounted obligation to make future minimum lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use (ROU) asset on its consolidated balance sheet for most leases, and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company elected to apply certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842 to leases that commenced before January 1, 2021, including the package of practical expedients, which, among other things, permits lease agreements that are twelve months or less to be excluded from the balance sheet, and permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Due to the Company’s election of these practical expedients, the Company carried forward certain historical conclusions for existing contracts, including conclusions related to the existence and classification of leases and to initial direct costs. ASC 842 applies to a number of arrangements to which the Company is a party. Whenever the Company enters into a new arrangement, it must determine, at the inception date, whether the arrangement is or contains a lease. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the underlying asset. If a lease exists, the Company must then determine the separate lease and non-lease components of the arrangement. Each right to use an underlying asset conveyed by a lease arrangement should generally be considered a separate lease component if it both: (i) can benefit the Company without depending on other resources not readily available to the Company and (ii) does not significantly affect and is not significantly affected by other rights of use conveyed by the lease. Aspects of a lease arrangement that transfer other goods or services to the Company but do not meet the definition of lease components are considered non-lease components. The consideration owed by the Company pursuant to a lease arrangement is generally allocated to each lease and non-lease component for accounting purposes. However, the Company has elected, for all of its leases, to not separate lease and non-lease components. Each lease component is accounted for separately from other lease components, but together with the associated non-lease components. 89 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 For each lease, the Company must then determine the lease term, the present value of lease payments and the classification of the lease as either an operating or finance lease. The lease term is the period of the lease not cancellable by the Company, together with periods covered by: (i) renewal options the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, (ii) termination options the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise, and (iii) renewal or termination options that are controlled by the lessor. The present value of lease payments is calculated based on: ● Lease payments – lease payments include fixed and certain variable payments, less lease incentives, together with amounts probable of being owed by the Company under residual value guarantees and, if reasonably certain of being paid, the cost of certain renewal options and early termination penalties set forth in the lease arrangement. Lease payments exclude consideration that is not related to the transfer of goods and services of the Company. ● Discount rate – the discount rate must be determined based on information available to the Company upon the commencement of the lease. Lessees are required to use the rate implicit in the lease whenever such rate is readily available; however, as the implicit rate in the Company’s leases is generally not readily determinable, the Company generally uses the hypothetical incremental borrowing rate it would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments, on a collateralized basis, over a timeframe similar to the lease term. In making the determination of whether a lease is an operating lease or a finance lease, the Company considers the lease term in relation to the economic life of the leased asset, the present value of lease payments in relation to the fair value of the leased asset and certain other factors, including the lessee’s and lessor’s rights, obligations, and economic incentives over the term of the lease. Generally, upon the commencement of a lease, the Company will record a lease liability and a ROU asset. However, the Company has elected, for all underlying leases with initial terms of twelve months or less (known as short-term leases), to not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset. Lease liabilities are initially recorded at lease commencement as the present value of future lease payments. ROU assets are initially recorded at lease commencement as the initial amount of the lease liability, together with the following, if applicable: (i) initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and (ii) lease payments made by the lessor net of lease incentives received, prior to lease commencement. Over the lease term, the Company generally increases its lease liabilities using the effective interest method and decreases its lease liabilities for lease payments made. For finance leases, amortization and interest expense are recognized separately in the consolidated statements of operations, with amortization expense generally recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense recorded using the effective interest method. For operating leases, a single lease cost is generally recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless an impairment has been recorded with respect to a leased asset. Lease costs for short-term leases not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight- line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs not initially included in the lease liability and ROU asset impairment charges are expensed as incurred. ROU assets are assessed for impairment, similar to other long-lived assets. See Note 13, Leases, for additional information. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, the Company accounted for leases under FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases ("ASC 840”). 90 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (q) Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business that cover a wide range of matters. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews its accruals at least quarterly and adjusts accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. At this time, the Company has no material accruals related to lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings. While there can be no assurance, based on the Company’s evaluation of information currently available, the Company’s management believes any liability that may ultimately result from resolution of such loss contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions or results of operations. However, the Company’s assessment may be affected by limited information. Accordingly, the Company’s assessment may change in the future based upon availability of new information and further developments in the proceedings of such matters. The results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible. See Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information. (r) Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company’s advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $ 18.5 million, $5.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and are primarily included in cost of net revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. (s) Equity-based Compensation The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for share based awards exchanged for employee services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite employee service period. Equity-based compensation expense related to these grants is included within cost of net revenue and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company measures and recognizes equity-based-compensation expense for such awards granted to employees based on their estimated fair values on the date of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period. For awards with performance conditions, equity-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employees’ requisite service period subject to management’s estimation of the probability of vesting of such awards. See Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional information regarding the Company’s equity-based compensation expense. (t) Cost of Net Revenue Cost of net revenue includes the cost of non-capitalized medical equipment and supplies sold to patients, depreciation for capitalized patient equipment and other operating expenses. The Company also includes in cost of net revenue the salaries, labor and benefits costs incurred at the Company’s operating facilities for service personnel, offshore labor expenses, occupancy costs (such as rent, utilities, and property taxes), and other expenses incurred to 91 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 operate the businesses (such as distribution expenses, billing fees, software expenses and general business supplies). Cost of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following (in thousands): Cost of products and supplies Salaries, labor and benefits Patient equipment depreciation Rent and occupancy Other operating expenses Equity-based compensation Severance Total (u) General and Administrative Expenses $ $ 2021 Year Ended December 31, 2020 441,931 $ 257,898 71,072 22,344 93,054 7,845 4,457 898,601 $ 955,813 $ 595,668 194,958 48,586 204,573 7,301 2,026 2,008,925 $ 2019 156,430 153,173 59,498 13,407 57,339 — 858 440,705 General and administrative expenses (G&A) primarily include expenses related to corporate salaries and benefits, legal, equity-based compensation, transaction costs and other business support functions. Included in G&A during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are salaries, labor and benefits expenses (including equity-based compensation and severance) of $60.1 million, $35.8 million and $31.7 million, respectively. (v) Business Segment The Company’s chief operating decision-makers are its Chief Executive Officer and President, who make resource allocation decisions and assess performance based on financial information presented on an aggregate basis. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision-makers, or anyone else, for any planning, strategy and key decision-making regarding operations. The corporate office is responsible for contract negotiation with vendors and payors, corporate compliance with healthcare laws and regulations, and revenue cycle management, among other corporate supporting functions. Accordingly, the Company has a single reportable segment and operating segment structure. (w) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, less than 10% of the Company’s net accounts receivable are from patients under co-pay or private plan arrangements. Credit evaluations, account monitoring procedures and a third-party collection agent are utilized to minimize the risk of loss. Collateral is not required. Cost-containment efforts of governmental organizations, primarily Medicare, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net revenue and profitability. Medicare typically awards contracts on a category-by-category basis through a competitive bidding process. Bids are generally solicited from multiple distributors with intention of driving down pricing. All Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, & Supplies ("DMEPOS”) Competitive Bidding Program contracts expired on December 31, 2018, and, as a result, there is a temporary gap in the entire DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program that CMS stated would last until December 31, 2020 and be replaced by a single round of competition named "Round 2021” which consolidated the competitive bidding areas ("CBAs”) included in the Round 1 2017 and Round 2 Recompete DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Programs. Round 2021 contracts became effective on January 1, 2021 and extend through December 31, 2023. CMS included 16 product categories in 92 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Round 2021. On April 10, 2020, CMS announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it removed the non-invasive ventilators product category from the Round 2021 DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. On October 27, 2020, CMS announced that it would not award competitive bid contracts in 13 of the 15 remaining product categories due to a failure to achieve expected savings, and that contract awards would only be made for off-the-shelf ("OTS”) knee and back braces. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, net revenue generated with respect to providing OTS knee and back braces (excluding amounts generated in non-rural and rural non-bid areas) were not material. The Company expects to obtain contracts for OTS knee and back braces, and does not expect the single payment amounts imposed by CMS under such contracts to have a material impact on the Company. The competitive bidding process (which is expected to be re-bid every three years) has historically put pressure on the amount the Company is reimbursed in the markets in which it exists, as well as in areas that are not subject to the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. The rates required to win future competitive bids could continue to depress reimbursement rates. The Company will continue to monitor developments regarding the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program on its business in the future nor the Medicare payment rates that will be in effect in future years for the items subjected to competitive bidding, the program may materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. (x) Concentration of Customers The Company provides patient-centered, healthcare-at-home solutions including home medical equipment, medical supplies, and related services, to both commercial organizations and directly to end users. This results in a customer concentration relating to Medicare’s service reimbursement programs. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company derived approximately 28%, 28% and 32% of its net revenue from government healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, respectively. Concentration of credit risk with respect to other payors is limited due to the large number of such payors and varied geographical locations. (y) Self-Insurance Risk The Company is subject to workers’ compensation, auto liability and employee medical claims, which are primarily self-insured; however, the Company maintains certain stop-loss and other insurance coverage which it believes to be appropriate. Provisions for estimated settlements relating to the workers’ compensation and medical plans are provided in the period of the related claim on a case-by-case basis plus an amount for incurred but not reported claims. Differences between the amounts accrued and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the period of settlement. (z) Derivative Instruments The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Derivative instruments consist of interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements are used to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company utilizes the interest rate swap agreements to modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its variable rate borrowings to a fixed rate. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for additional information. (aa) Income Taxes Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, AdaptHealth Holdings was a limited liability company and was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As such, income and loss from operations of AdaptHealth Holdings were allocated to the members for inclusion in their tax returns. In addition, there were regular C- 93 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 corporations included in AdaptHealth Holdings’ structure where taxes were paid at the entity level. The C-corporations used the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as described below. Following the Business Combination, the Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s deferred tax calculations and valuation allowance requires management to make certain estimates about future operations. Changes in state or federal tax laws, as well as changes in the Company’s financial condition or the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities, could affect those estimates. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that the rate is enacted. FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There was no material amount of expense for interest and penalty related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. (bb) Earnings (Loss) Per Share Earnings (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. The Company follows the provisions of the authoritative guidance for determining whether instruments granted in equity-based compensation transactions or other instruments are participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share. See Note 12, Earnings (Loss) Per Share, for additional information. (cc) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize leases on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Refer to the discussion above regarding the Company’s adoption of ASC 842 during the year ended December 31, 2021, which had an effective adoption date of January 1, 2021. In connection with such adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the January 1, 2021 adoption date by recording $91.5 million of operating lease obligations on its consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding ROU asset, based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for existing operating leases as of such date. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s accounting for existing finance leases. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on certain financial assets. The standard replaces the current incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when a probable threshold is met with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. Further, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The Company adopted the new standard during the year ended December 31, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 94 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (dd) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Specifically, the guidance permits an entity, when certain criteria are met, to consider amendments to contracts made to comply with reference rate reform to meet the definition of a modification under GAAP. It further allows hedge accounting to be maintained and a one-time transfer or sale of qualifying held-to-maturity securities. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments are permitted to be adopted any time through December 31, 2022 and do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for certain optional expedients elected for certain hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. (3) Acquisitions During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company completed several acquisitions to strengthen its current market share in existing markets or to expand into new markets. Each of the Company’s acquisitions was accounted for using the acquisition method pursuant to the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the respective acquisition date. The goodwill generated from these acquisitions is attributable to expected growth and cost synergies and the expected contribution of each acquisition to the Company’s overall strategy. The substantial majority of the goodwill recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021 is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The estimated fair values of the net assets of acquired businesses as described below are subject to change resulting from such items as receipt of final valuations and working capital adjustments post-acquisition. As a result, the acquisition accounting for certain acquired businesses could change in subsequent periods resulting in adjustments to goodwill once finalized.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company removed from service $71.9 million, $62.6 million and $72.8 million of fully depreciated patient medical equipment, respectively. 102 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (5) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows (in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2019 Goodwill from acquisitions Balance at December 31, 2020 Goodwill from acquisitions Net cash receipts relating to prior acquisitions Reductions Balance at December 31, 2021 Gross carrying amount $ $ $ 266,791 732,019 998,810 2,536,566 (657) (22,152) 3,512,567 Annually, and upon the identification of a triggering event, management is required to perform an evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill. Triggering events potentially warranting an interim goodwill impairment test include, among other factors, declines in historical or projected revenue, operating income or cash flows, and declines in the Company’s stock price or market capitalization. While management cannot predict if or when future goodwill impairments may occur, a goodwill impairment could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating income, net assets and the Company’s cost of, or access to, capital. The Company did not record any goodwill impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company experienced a decline in its market capitalization as a result of a decline in the Company’s stock price, and if this decline continues for a sustained period of time, the Company may be required to perform a goodwill impairment assessment at an interim period and could be required to recognize a non-cash goodwill impairment charge at that time, which could be material. As discussed in Note 3, Acquisitions, during 2021, the Company received net cash receipts of $0.7 million relating to working capital adjustments associated with businesses that were acquired during 2020 which were recorded as a reduction to goodwill during 2021. The reductions of $22.2 million during 2021 in the table above relates to measurement period adjustments attributed to businesses that were acquired by the Company during 2020, primarily for Solara. Based on available information obtained by the Company during 2021, the Company recorded certain measurement period adjustments to the acquisition accounting for Solara, resulting in an increase to accounts receivable of $28.9 million and an increase to accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6.3 million, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $22.6 million during 2021. Identifiable intangible assets that are separable and have determinable useful lives are valued separately and amortized over the period which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed. Identifiable intangible assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands): Tradenames, net of accumulated amortization of $12,705 Payor contracts, net of accumulated amortization of $11,816 Contractual rental agreements, net of accumulated amortization of $26,158 Developed technology, net of accumulated amortization of $1,890 Identifiable intangible assets, net 103 December 31, 2021 Weighted-Average Remaining Life (Years) 8.4 8.6 1.8 3.5 $ $ 99,595 70,184 28,042 4,410 202,231 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

There was no amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 as there were no material identifiable intangible assets acquired prior to December 31, 2019. Future amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets is estimated to be as follows (in thousands): Twelve months ending December 31, 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Thereafter Total $ $ 39,881 32,513 22,176 21,228 19,163 67,270 202,231 The Company recorded no impairment charges related to identifiable intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. (6) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches, including quoted market prices and discounted cash flows. A hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect a company’s judgment concerning the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the Company’s degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases an asset or liability is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing 104 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition in the future may cause the Company’s financial instruments to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or from Level 2 to Level 3. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any reclassifications in levels. The following table presents the valuation of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information available to management as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. These estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could ultimately realize.

The valuation of these derivative instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of the Company’s 105 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the respective counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of the Company’s derivatives held as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 7, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments. Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration The Company estimates the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities by applying the income approach using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. Each period, the Company evaluates the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations and records any changes in the fair value of such liabilities in other income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2021, contingent consideration liabilities of $13.5 million and $6.8 million were included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2020, contingent consideration liabilities of $23.9 million and $9.6 million were included in other current liabilities and other long- term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. A reconciliation of the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 Contingent consideration - Level 3 liabilities Year Ended December 31, 2020 Contingent consideration - Level 3 liabilities Beginning Balance Additions Payments Change in Fair Value Other activity Ending Balance $ 33,540 $ 7,800 $ (20,347) $ (866) $ 173 $ 20,300 Beginning Balance Additions Payments Change in Fair Value Other activity Ending Balance $ 14,725 $ 27,064 $ (4,204) $ (4,176) $ 131 $ 33,540 Contingent Consideration Common Shares Liability The Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration common shares liability using a Monte-Carlo simulation analysis. A Monte-Carlo simulation is a tool used to project asset prices based on a widely accepted drift calculation, the volatility of the asset, incremental time-steps and a random component known as a Weiner process that introduces the dynamic behavior in the asset price. In this framework, asset prices follow a log-normal distribution as they fluctuate through time, which the simulation process captures. A specific model can be developed around the 106 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 projected stock price to capture the effects of any market performance conditions on value. Price path specific conditions can be captured in this type of open form model. The Monte-Carlo process expresses potential future scenarios that when simulated thousands of times can be viewed statistically to ascertain fair value. The contingent consideration common shares contain market conditions to determine whether the shares are earned based on the Company’s common stock price during specified measurement periods. Given the path-dependent nature of the requirement in which the shares are earned, a Monte-Carlo simulation was used to estimate the fair value of the liability. The Company’s common stock price was simulated to each measurement period based on the above described methodology. In each iteration, the simulated stock price was compared to the conditions under which the shares are earned. In iterations where the stock price corresponded to shares being earned, the future value of the earned shares was discounted back to present value. The fair value of the liability was estimated based on the average of all iterations of the simulation. Refer to Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional discussion of the contingent consideration common shares. Warrant Liability The warrant liability represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding private warrants. The fair value of the private warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As an input to the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the volatility implied by trades in the public warrants was considered. In order to estimate this implied volatility, a Monte-Carlo simulation was employed. Refer to the discussion above for a description of the Monte-Carlo simulation analysis. Refer to Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional discussion of the warrant liability. Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The following table presents the Company’s hierarchy for non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (in thousands): Assets: Goodwill (Level 3) Identifiable intangible assets, net (Level 3) December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 $ $ 3,512,567 202,231 $ $ 998,810 116,061 The fair value allocation related to the Company’s acquisitions are determined using a discounted cash flow approach, or a replacement cost approach, which are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company estimates the fair value using the income approach (which is a discounted cash flow technique) or the cost approach. These valuation methods required management to make various assumptions, including, but not limited to, future profitability, cash flows, replacement costs, and discount rates. The Company’s estimates are based upon historical trends, management’s knowledge and experience and overall economic factors, including projections of future earnings potential. Developing discounted future cash flows in applying the income approach requires the Company to evaluate its intermediate to longer-term strategies, including, but not limited to, estimates of revenue growth, operating margins, capital requirements, inflation and working capital management. The development of appropriate rates to discount the estimated future cash flows requires the selection of risk premiums, which can materially impact the present value of future cash flows. The Company estimated the fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets using discounted cash flow techniques that included an estimate of future cash flows, consistent with overall cash flow projections used to determine the purchase price paid to acquire the business, discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows. The Company estimated the fair value of certain acquired identifiable intangible assets based on the cost approach 107 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 using estimated costs consistent with historical experience. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in the valuation methods are reasonable. (7) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments. As discussed in Note 6, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, and as required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s variable rate borrowings. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. In the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company estimates that an additional $0.8 million will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had outstanding interest rate derivatives with third parties in which the Company pays a fixed interest rate and receives a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR. The notional associated with the swap agreements was $250 million of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and have maturity dates at certain dates through March 2024. Prior to August 22, 2019, the interest rate swap agreements were not designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes and accordingly changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements were recorded in earnings. On August 22, 2019, the Company designated its swaps as effective cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Accordingly, subsequent to August 22, 2019, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. 108 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivatives designated as hedging instruments as well as their classification in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands): Interest rate swap agreements Interest rate swap agreements Total Balance Sheet Location Other current liabilities Other long-term liabilities $ $ December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Asset (Liability) (5,098) (2,359) (7,457) (5,941) (10,220) (16,161) $ $ During the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of the effect of cash flow hedge accounting, the Company recognized a gain of $8.7 million in other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2021, $2.9 million was reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized as a reduction to interest expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the effect of cash flow hedge accounting, the Company recognized a loss of $7.8 million in other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, $2.8 million was reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized as a reduction to interest expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2019, as a result of the effect of cash flow hedge accounting, the Company recognized income of $3.5 million in other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2019, $0.9 million was reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized as a reduction to interest expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2019, as a result of the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments that were not designated as hedging instruments, the Company recognized $12.4 million in interest expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. (8) Deferred Financing Costs The change in the carrying amount of deferred financing costs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows (in thousands): Balance at beginning of period Capitalized fees Amortization Write-off due to debt refinancing Balance at end of period Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 $ $ 13,710 29,185 (5,378) (4,054) 33,463 $ $ 7,853 13,049 (1,876) (5,316) 13,710 Amortization expense relating to deferred financing costs was $5.4 million, $1.9 million and $1.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The write-off of deferred financing costs is included in loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. 109 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

On January 20, 2021, the Company refinanced its then existing debt borrowings and entered into a new credit agreement with its existing bank group, which was amended in April 2021 (the 2021 Credit Agreement). The 2021 Credit Agreement included borrowings of $800 million under a term loan (the 2021 Term Loan), and $450 million in commitments for revolving credit loans (the 2021 Revolver). The 2021 Revolver has a $55 million letter of credit sublimit. The 2021 Term Loan and the 2021 Revolver both have maturities in January 2026. Borrowings under the 2021 110 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Term Loan were used in part to partially finance the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of AeroCare, to repay existing amounts outstanding under the 2020 Credit Agreement (see discussion below), to repay amounts outstanding under revolving credit loans under the 2021 Credit Agreement which were borrowed prior to the April 2021 amendment, and to pay related fees and expenses. Amounts borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement bear interest quarterly at variable rates based upon the sum of (a) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (subject to a zero percent floor) equal to the LIBOR (as defined) for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate, plus (b) an applicable margin (as defined) ranging from 1.50% to 3.25% per annum based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined). The 2021 Revolver carries a commitment fee during the term of the 2021 Credit Agreement ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum of the average daily undrawn portion of the 2021 Revolver based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. On August 16, 2021, the Company amended the 2021 Credit Agreement to expressly permit the issuance of the 5.125% Senior Notes (see discussion below) and the prepayment of the outstanding principal amount under the New Promissory Note (see discussion below) with the proceeds of the 5.125% Senior Notes. In addition, the amendment increased the amount of unencumbered cash that may be used to reduce total indebtedness in the calculation of certain financial covenants for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021. In connection with the 2021 Credit Agreement, the Company paid financing costs of $7.6 million. Further, in connection with executing the 2021 Credit Agreement, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.1 million related to the 2020 Credit Agreement, which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Under the 2021 Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to a number of restrictive covenants that, among other things, impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company. Financial covenants include a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, both as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement. The 2021 Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including, among other things, failure to make payments when due thereunder, failure to observe or perform certain covenants, cross- defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency-related events, and non-compliance with healthcare laws. Any borrowing under the 2021 Credit Agreement may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, and any amounts repaid under the 2021 Revolver may be reborrowed. Mandatory prepayments are required under the 2021 Revolver when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed the total commitments for revolving credit loans. Mandatory prepayments are also required in connection with the disposition of assets to the extent not reinvested, unpermitted debt transactions, and excess cash flow, as defined, if certain leverage tests are not met. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2021. In July 2020, the Company refinanced its then existing debt borrowings and entered into a new credit agreement with a new bank group (the 2020 Credit Agreement). The 2020 Credit Agreement consisted of a $250 million term loan (the 2020 Term Loan) and $200 million in commitments for revolving credit loans (the 2020 Revolver). The borrowings under the 2020 Term Loan bore interest quarterly at variable rates based upon the sum of (a) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (subject to a floor) equal to the LIBOR (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period, plus (b) an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.75% per annum based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement). The 2020 Revolver carried a commitment fee during the term of the 2020 Credit Agreement ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum of the average daily undrawn portion of the 2020 Revolver based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. In connection with the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company paid financing costs of $2.7 million; such costs were being amortized over the term of the related debt, which is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As discussed above, in January 2021, the Company refinanced its debt borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement. A portion of the net proceeds from such refinancing was used to repay existing amounts outstanding under the 2020 Credit Agreement of $301.9 million plus accrued interest. Further, in connection with executing the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing costs of $5.3 million related to the 2019 Credit Facility (see discussion below), which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. 111 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 The completion of the Business Combination (the Closing) occurred on November 8, 2019, refer to Note 1, Nature of Business, for additional details regarding the Business Combination. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the former owners of AdaptHealth Holdings held approximately 49% of the economic interest in AdaptHealth Corp. and the former stockholders of DFB held the remaining approximate 51% of the economic interests in AdaptHealth Corp., both in the form of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In addition, AdaptHealth Corp. owned approximately 56% of the combined company with the remaining 44% owned by the former owners of AdaptHealth Holdings in the form of common units representing limited liability company interests in AdaptHealth Holdings from and after the Closing of the Business Combination (New AdaptHealth Units). Following the Closing of the Business Combination, the combined results of DFB and AdaptHealth Holdings are consolidated, and the holders of Class A Common Stock owned an approximate 56% direct controlling interest and the holders of New AdaptHealth Units owned an approximate 44% direct noncontrolling economic interest presented as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements of the combined entity. The direct noncontrolling economic interest in AdaptHealth Holdings held by the owners of AdaptHealth Holdings was in the form of New AdaptHealth Units (and a corresponding number of non-economic shares of Class B Common Stock) and were exchangeable on a one-to-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, 550,000 and 16,659,739 New AdaptHealth Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, certain members of the Company’s management exchanged 1,507,808 New AdaptHealth Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock for cash of $44.3 million in order to provide for the payment of capital gains tax obligations resulting from such exchanges. On January 1, 2021, the remaining 13,218,758 New AdaptHealth Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock. As a result, there are no New AdaptHealth Units and shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, and therefore the prior holders of New AdaptHealth Units no longer own a direct noncontrolling economic interest in AdaptHealth Holdings. In connection with the January 2021 exchanges, the Company recorded a decrease to the noncontrolling interest of $77.9 million in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

A reconciliation of the changes in the warrant liability during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was as follows (in thousands): Estimated fair value of warrant liability as of the Closing of the Business Combination Change in estimated fair value of the warrant liability Estimated fair value of warrant liability at December 31, 2019 Change in estimated fair value of the warrant liability Reclassification of warrant liability to equity for exercised warrants Estimated fair value of warrant liability at December 31, 2020 Change in estimated fair value of the warrant liability Reclassification of warrant liability to equity for exercised warrants Estimated fair value of warrant liability at December 31, 2021 Redemption of Public Warrants $ $ 19,985 7,650 27,635 135,368 (49,098) 113,905 (53,181) (2,960) 57,764 On August 4, 2020, the Company announced its intention to redeem all of its outstanding public warrants (the Public Warrants) to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated February 15, 2018 (the Warrant Agreement), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the Warrant Agent), as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the IPO), for a redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant (the Redemption Price), that remained outstanding on September 2, 2020 (the Redemption Date). Warrants to purchase common stock that were issued under the Warrant Agreement in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO and still held by the initial holders thereof or their permitted transferees were not subject to this redemption. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company was entitled to redeem all of the outstanding Public Warrants if the last sales price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was at least $18.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within any thirty-day trading period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is given. At the direction of the Company, the Warrant Agent delivered a notice of redemption to each of the registered holders of the outstanding Public Warrants. In addition, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, the Company elected to require that, upon delivery of the notice of redemption, all Public Warrants were to be exercised only on a "cashless basis.” Accordingly, holders were no longer able to exercise Public Warrants and receive common stock in exchange for payment in cash of the $11.50 per 118 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 warrant exercise price. Instead, a holder exercising a Public Warrant was deemed to pay the $11.50 per warrant exercise price by the surrender of 0.6144 of a share of common stock (such fraction determined as described below) that such holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of a Public Warrant. Accordingly, by virtue of the cashless exercise of the Public Warrants, exercising warrant holders received 0.3856 of a share of common Stock for each Public Warrant surrendered for exercise. Any Public Warrants that remained unexercised on the Redemption Date were voided and no longer exercisable, and the holders will have no rights with respect to those Public Warrants, except to receive the Redemption Price. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock that each exercising warrant holder received by virtue of the cashless exercise (instead of paying the $11.50 per Public Warrant cash exercise price) was calculated in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement and was equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares underlying the Public Warrants held by such warrant holder, multiplied by the difference between $18.7175, the average last sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on July 29, 2020, the third trading day prior to the date of the redemption notice (the Fair Market Value) and $11.50, by (y) the Fair Market Value. If any holder of Public Warrants would, after taking into account all of such holder’s Public Warrants exercised at one time, be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of common stock, the number of shares the holder was entitled to receive was rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 2,285,410 Public Warrants were redeemed resulting in the issuance of 881,239 shares of Class A Common Stock. As a result of these transactions, there are no Public Warrants outstanding. Contingent Consideration Common Shares Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the former owners of AdaptHealth Holdings who received Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination are entitled to receive earn-out consideration to be paid in the form of Common Stock, if the average price of the Company’s Common Stock for the month of December prior to each measurement date equals or exceeds certain hurdles set forth in the Merger Agreement (Contingent Consideration Common Shares). The former owners of AdaptHealth Holdings were entitled to receive 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock on each of December 31, 2021 and 2020 based on an average stock price hurdle of $18 and $15, respectively. The average stock price of the Company’s Common Stock was greater than $18 and $15 for the applicable measurement periods as of the December 31, 2021 and 2020 measurement dates, respectively, which triggered the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock on such dates. In addition, the former owners of AdaptHealth Holdings are entitled to receive an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock on December 31, 2022 if the average stock price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $22 during the month of December 2022. The Contingent Consideration Common Shares would be issued immediately in the event of a change of control as defined in the Merger Agreement. The estimated fair value of the Contingent Consideration Common Shares was recorded as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with such fair value reclassified to stockholders’ equity upon the issuance of any shares that are earned. Prior to issuance, the change in the estimated fair value of such shares each period was recognized as a non-cash charge or gain in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. A reconciliation of the changes in the contingent consideration common shares liability related to the Contingent Consideration Common Shares during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was as follows (in thousands): 119 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

As a result, the estimated fair value related to such shares of $24.5 million and $37.6 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was reclassified to stockholders’ equity, with such shares reflected as issued and outstanding Common Stock. In addition, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the estimated fair value related to the remaining 1,000,000 Contingent Consideration Common Shares of $16.6 million at December 31, 2021 was reclassified to stockholders’ equity on such date. Since the fair value of these shares was reclassified to stockholders’ equity on December 31, 2021, these shares will no longer be liability classified and therefore the changes in the estimated fair value of such shares will no longer be recognized as a non-cash charge or gain in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations subsequent to December 31, 2021. A portion of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration common shares was classified as a current liability and a long- term liability as of December 31, 2020 in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets based on the estimated issuance dates of such shares as of such date. Equity-based Compensation In connection with the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2019 Plan), the Company provides equity-based compensation to attract and retain employees while also aligning employees’ interest with the interests of its stockholders. The 2019 Plan permits the grant of various equity-based awards to selected employees and non-employee directors. At December 31, 2021, the 2019 Plan permits the grant of up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments and limitations. At December 31, 2021, 3,314,207 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The following awards were granted in connection with the 2019 Plan during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Stock Options In January 2021, the Company granted 703,170 options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock to certain senior executives of the Company. The options vest ratably over a three-year period from the date of grant based on a service condition and have a contractual exercise period of five years from the date of grant. The total grant-date fair value of the options granted, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $6.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 234,390 of the options from this grant were forfeited as a result of the resignation of the Company’s former Co-CEO (see discussion below). In November 2019, the Company granted 3,416,666 options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company to certain senior management employees that have an exercise price of $11.50 per share and a contractual exercise period of ten years from the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of the awards, using a Black-Scholes option 120 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 pricing model, was $7.2 million. In April 2020, the Company granted 47,335 options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company to an employee that had an exercise price of $16.25 per share. The grant-date fair value of the awards, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $0.3 million. The vesting conditions relating to the total 3,464,001 options included a defined performance condition with a measurement period during the year ended December 31, 2020 which was satisfied, and also a service condition. In June 2021, in connection with the resignation of the Company’s former Co-CEO (see discussion below), the Company accelerated the vesting of 184,932 options. In connection with the accelerated vesting, the Company recognized $1.9 million of equity-based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Of the total options granted, 722,222 and 1,154,667 options vested on December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, 679,958 options were forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily relating to the resignation of the Company’s former Co-CEO. The remaining unvested 722,222 options are eligible to vest on December 31, 2022, subject to the employees’ continuous employment through the vesting date. On April 13, 2021, the Company placed its then Co-Chief Executive Officer, Luke McGee, on unpaid leave while a matter relating to his past private activity was pending. On April 20, 2021, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the formation of a Special Committee of Board members to conduct a full investigation of Mr. McGee’s alleged personal conduct. In addition, the Company’s board of directors also approved the retention of an independent law firm to assist the Special Committee in facilitating the investigation. Mr. McGee had no role in, and was entirely recused from, the investigation. On June 11, 2021, the independent law firm reported to the Special Committee that the investigation was substantially complete and that they could state with a high degree of confidence that the Company had no involvement in, or connection to, Mr. McGee’s alleged conduct. The investigation was completed in October 2021 resulting in no changes to the findings discussed above. On June 14, 2021, the Company and Mr. McGee agreed that Mr. McGee would resign from his positions as Co- CEO and a Director of the Company effective as of June 11, 2021. In connection with Mr. McGee’s resignation, the Company accelerated the vesting of certain unvested stock options as discussed above, and also accelerated the vesting of certain unvested shares of restricted stock (see discussion below). Other than the accelerated vesting of the stock options and shares of restricted stock, and back pay paid to Mr. McGee relating to his unpaid base wages from April 13, 2021 to June 11, 2021, no other compensation was paid to Mr. McGee in connection with his resignation.

The grant-date fair value of these awards was $38.7 million. Of the total shares granted, 300,000 shares were granted to an employee in connection with an acquisition, of which 250,000 shares were eligible to vest based on certain performance conditions, and the remaining 50,000 shares were scheduled to vest 25% annually on December 31, 2020 through 2023, all of which were subject to the employee's continuous employment through the applicable vesting date. During 2020, the employee terminated from the Company, and at the termination date 125,000 shares vested pursuant to the terms of the original grant agreement and the Company accelerated the vesting of an additional 50,000 shares, and the remaining 125,000 shares were forfeited.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 AdaptHealth Holdings granted Incentive Units in June 2019 (the 2019 Incentive Units) and in April 2018 (the 2018 Incentive Units) to certain members of management. The Incentive Units were intended to constitute profits interests and were granted for purposes of enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company and were issued in exchange for services to be performed. With respect to the 2019 Incentive Units, 50% of the awards were scheduled to vest in equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date as defined in the agreements (May 20, 2019). The first 25% of this portion of the 2019 Incentive Units vested in May 2020, and in January 2021, the vesting of the remaining unvested units associated with this portion of the 2019 Incentive Units was accelerated. The Company recorded $1.5 million of equity-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2021 in connection with such acceleration. The remaining 50% had initial vesting terms based upon a performance condition. In connection with the Business Combination, the vesting condition for this portion of the 2019 Incentive Units was changed to vest quarterly during the one-year period subsequent to the Closing of the Business Combination, and as such all of the units associated with this portion of the 2019 Incentive Units were fully vested in November 2020. The grant date fair value of the 2019 Incentive Units and the 2018 Incentive Units, as calculated under an Option Pricing Method, was $4.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively. In conjunction with the March 2019 Recapitalization Transactions, the vesting of certain of the 2018 Incentive Units was accelerated, and all holders of the 2018 Incentive Units received an advance for future distribution, which was treated as a modification of the awards for accounting purposes. In conjunction with the Business Combination, the vesting of the remaining unvested 2018 Incentive Units was accelerated. The assumptions used to determine the grant-date fair value of the 2019 Incentive Units was as follows: Expected volatility (1) Risk-free interest rate (2) Expected term (3) Discount for lack of marketability (4) 40.0 % 2.0 % 1.5 years 25.0 % (1) (2) (3) (4) The expected volatility is derived from the asset volatilities of comparable public companies. The risk-free interest rate is obtained from Standard and Poor’s Capital IQ, and represents the yield on a treasury note as of the valuation date with the maturity matching the expected term. The expected term is based on management’s estimate. The discount for lack of marketability is based on put option analyses using similar timing inputs. Other Activity During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted 70,634, 57,069 and 36,480 fully vested shares of Common Stock to various employees of the Company, which had a grant-date fair value of $2.4 million, $1.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Such amounts were recognized as equity-based compensation expense, which is included in cost of net revenue during the corresponding periods in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the Business Combination, certain members of management were awarded shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for services performed. The fair value of these immediately vested shares was $3.2 million and was recognized as equity-based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2019 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 125 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Equity-Based Compensation Expense The Company recorded equity-based compensation expense of $25.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, of which $18.0 million and $7.3 million is included in general and administrative expenses and cost of net revenue, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized a $4.6 million reduction to income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of excess tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation. The Company recorded equity-based compensation expense of $18.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, of which $10.8 million and $7.9 million is included in general and administrative expenses and cost of net revenue, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized a $2.1 million reduction to income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 as a result of excess tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation. The Company recorded equity-based compensation expense of $11.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There were no amounts recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019 related to excess tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation. The expense during the year ended December 31, 2019 included $2.7 million in connection with the acceleration of vesting of the 2018 Incentive Units and $2.2 million for the modification of the awards relating to the cash distributions discussed above. At December 31, 2021, there was $39.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to equity-based compensation awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average term of 2.0 years. (12) Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization by which AdaptHealth Holdings issued stock for the net assets of the Company accompanied by a recapitalization. Net income (loss) per share has been recast for all historical periods to reflect the Company’s capital structure for all comparative periods. Earnings Per Share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis. The Company computes diluted net income (loss) per share using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method and the two-class method after giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to outstanding warrants, contingent consideration common shares, unvested restricted stock, outstanding stock options and outstanding preferred stock. Refer to Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional discussion of these potential dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except when the potential common shares have an antidilutive effect. The Company’s outstanding preferred stock are considered participating securities, thus requiring the two-class method of computing diluted net income (loss) per share. Computation of diluted net income (loss) per share under the two-class method excludes from the numerator any dividends paid or owed on participating securities and any undistributed earnings considered to be attributable to participating securities. The related participating securities are similarly excluded from the denominator. Computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data): 126 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

Computation of EPS under the two-class method excludes from the numerator any dividends paid or owed on participating securities and any undistributed earnings considered to be attributable to participating securities. The related participating securities are similarly excluded from the denominator. There were participating securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. There were no participating securities outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2019. There was no amount allocated to the participating securities during the year ended December 31, 2020 due to the net loss reported in that period. (2) For the year ended December 31, 2021, in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, the impact to earnings from the change in fair value of the Company’s warrant liability is excluded from the numerator, and the corresponding security is included in the denominator, for purposes of computing diluted net income per share. This adjustment is included as the effect of the numerator and denominator adjustments for this derivative instrument is dilutive as a result of the non-cash gain recorded for the change in fair value of this instrument during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the numerator and denominator for the diluted net loss per share computation is the same as used in the basic net loss per share computation and therefore exclude the effect of potential dilutive securities as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Due to the Company reporting a net loss attributable to AdaptHealth Corp. for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, all potentially dilutive securities related to outstanding warrants, contingent consideration common shares, unvested restricted stock, and outstanding stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for those periods as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The table below provides the weighted-average number of potential common shares associated with outstanding securities not included in the Company’s computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 because to do so would be antidilutive (in thousands): 127 ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

As discussed in note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, the measurement date is December 31, 2022 for these shares and they will be issued at such time if they are earned. (13) Leases The Company leases its office facilities and office equipment under noncancelable lease agreements which expire at various dates through March 2033. Some of these lease agreements include an option to renew at the end of the term. The Company also leases certain patient medical equipment with such leases set to expire at various dates through May 2022. The Company also leases certain office facilities on a month-to-month basis. In some instances, the Company is also required to pay its pro rata share of real estate taxes and utility costs in connection with the premises. Some of the leases contain fixed annual increases of minimum rent. The Company’s leases frequently allow for lease payments that could vary based on factors such as inflation and the incurrence of contractual charges such as those for common area maintenance or utilities. Renewal and/or early termination options are common in the lease arrangements, particularly with respect to real estate leases. The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities generally include periods covered by renewal options and exclude periods covered by early termination options (based on the conclusion that it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such renewal options and not exercise such early termination options). The Company is also party to certain sublease arrangements related to real estate leases, where the Company acts as the lessee and intermediate lessor. The Company has acquired patient medical equipment and supplies, and office equipment through multiple finance leases. The finance lease obligations represent the present value of minimum lease payments under the respective agreement, payable monthly at various interest rates. 128 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has a single consolidated retirement plan (the AdaptHealth Plan) which includes its subsidiaries’ 401(k) plans with two exceptions: the Aerocare Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the AeroCare Plan) and the Royal Homestar 401(k) plan (the RH Plan). The AdaptHealth Plan allows employees to contribute up to the annual limitation imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Beginning on January 1, 2020, the Company makes matching contributions to the AdaptHealth Plan. The Company, at its discretion, may make matching contributions to the Royal Homestar 401(k) plan. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded matching contribution expense of $2.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the AdaptHealth Plan. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of matching contribution expense for the Royal Homestar 401(k) plan during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The AeroCare Plan was a single employer qualified defined contribution plan with no participating employers. The AeroCare Plan allowed participants to elect pre-tax deferrals and Roth contributions to the stated Internal Revenue Code 402g limits for each of the respective plan years. The Aerocare Plan was merged into the AdaptHealth Plan effective January 21, 2022. The RH Plan is administered by a noncontrolling interest. (15) Self-Insured Plans The Company was self-insured for its employees’ medical, auto and workers’ compensation claims during 2021, 2020 and 2019. The Company purchased medical stop loss insurance that covers the excess of each specific loss over $225,000 in 2021 and $175,000 in 2020 and 2019, respectively, and aggregate losses that exceed the greater of the calculated aggregate stop loss threshold or the minimum aggregate stop loss threshold. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company purchased workers’ compensation stop loss insurance which has occurrence-based limits that vary by state based on statutory rules. The Company is subject to an aggregate annual limit. Self-insurance reserves include estimates of both known claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. The Company uses historical paid claims information to estimate its claims liability. The liability for self-insurance reserves was $11.7 million and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This liability is included within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. (16) Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business that cover a wide range of matters. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews its accruals at least quarterly and adjusts accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. At this time, the Company has no material accruals related to lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings. While there can be no assurance, based on the Company’s evaluation of information currently available, the Company’s management believes any liability that may ultimately result from resolution of such loss contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions or results of operations. However, the Company’s assessment may be affected by limited information. Accordingly, the Company’s assessment may change in the future based upon availability of new information and further developments in the proceedings of such matters. The results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of PPS HME Holdings LLC (PPS), in May 2018, the Company assumed a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) at one of PPS’ subsidiaries, Braden Partners L.P. d/b/a Pacific Pulmonary Services (BP). The CIA was entered into with the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (OIG). The CIA has a five-year term which expires in April 2022. In connection with the acquisition and integration of PPS by AdaptHealth, the OIG confirmed that the requirements of the CIA imposed upon 131 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 BP would only apply to the operations of BP and therefore no operations of any other AdaptHealth affiliate are subject to the requirements of the CIA following the acquisition. On December 16, 2021, the OIG-HHS notified PPS that its report for the period ended March 31, 2021 had been accepted and PPS had satisfied its obligations under the CIA as of such date. On July 25, 2017, the Company was served with a subpoena by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (EDPA) pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3486 to produce certain audit records and internal communications regarding ventilator billing. The investigation focused on billing practices regarding one payor that contracted for bundled payments for certain ventilators. The Company has cooperated with investigators and, through agreement with the EDPA, has submitted all information requested in the Company’s possession. An independent third party was retained by the Company that identified overpayments and underpayments for ventilator billings related to the payor, and a remittance was sent to reconcile that account. On October 3, 2019, the Company received a follow-up civil investigative demand from the EDPA regarding a document previously produced to the EDPA and patients included in the review by the independent third party. The Company has responded to the EDPA and supplemented its production as requested with any relevant documents in the Company’s possession. During subsequent communications, the EDPA indicated to the Company that the investigation remained ongoing. The EDPA also requested additional information regarding certain patient services and claims refunds processed by the Company in 2017. The Company produced this information in coordination with the EDPA. The EDPA has also raised questions regarding other aspects of ventilator billing. While the Company cannot provide any assurance as to whether the EDPA will seek additional information or pursue this matter further, it does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company. In March 2019, prior to its acquisition by the Company, AeroCare was served with a civil investigative demand ("CID”) issued by the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky (WDKY). The CID seeks to investigate allegations that AeroCare improperly billed, or caused others to improperly bill, for oxygen tank contents that were not delivered to beneficiaries. The WDKY has requested documents related to such oxygen tank content billing as well as other categories of information. AeroCare has cooperated with the WDKY and has produced documents and provided explanations of its billing practices. In September 2020, the WDKY indicated the investigation includes alleged violations of the federal False Claims Act and as well as alleged violations of state Medicaid false claims acts in ten states. AeroCare has cooperated fully with the investigation and has indicated to the WDKY that concerns raised do not accurately identify Medicare coverage criteria and that state Medicaid coverage requirements generally do not provide for separate reimbursement for portable gaseous oxygen contents in the circumstances at issue. While the Company cannot provide any assurance as to whether the WDKY will seek additional information or pursue this matter further, it does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company. On June 28, 2019, Solara, which was acquired by the Company in July 2020, determined that an unauthorized third-party gained access to a limited number of employee email accounts beginning in April 2019, as a result of a phishing email campaign. Solara undertook a comprehensive review of the accounts to identify what personal information was stored within the accounts and to whom that information related. In connection with the incident, Solara notified potentially affected individuals and reported this incident to law enforcement and relevant state and federal regulators. Solara was a defendant in a class action regarding the incident in federal court. In October 2021, the parties tentatively agreed to a settlement for a payment of $5.1 million, which will be covered in full by insurance and an escrow established at the time of the Solara acquisition. On January 25, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Preliminary Approval of the settlement. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a liability of $5.1 million and a corresponding indemnification asset, which are included in other current liabilities and other current assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company and certain of its current and former officers were named as defendants in a lawsuit, as described below. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this legal proceeding, nor can it estimate the amount of loss or range of loss, if any, that may result. An adverse outcome in this proceeding could have a material adverse effect 132 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible. On July 29, 2021, Robert Charles Faille Jr., a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a purported class action complaint against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Complaint”). The Complaint purports to be asserted on behalf of a class of persons who purchased the Company’s stock between November 11, 2019 and July 16, 2021. The Complaint generally alleges that the Company and certain of its current and former officers violated federal securities laws by making allegedly false and misleading statements and/or failing to disclose material information regarding the Company’s organic growth trajectory. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages. On October 14, 2021, the Delaware County Employees Retirement System and the Bucks County Employees Retirement System were named Lead Plaintiffs. Pursuant to the scheduling order, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 22, 2021 (the "Consolidated Complaint”), which asserts substantially the same claim, but adds a number of current and former directors of the Company as additional defendants and a new theory of recovery based on the Company’s alleged failure to disclose information concerning the Company’s former Co-CEO’s alleged tax fraud arising from certain past private activity. On January 20, 2022, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. Lead Plaintiffs’ opposition to defendants’ motion is due on March 21, 2022, and defendants’ reply is due April 15, 2022. AdaptHealth intends to vigorously defend against the allegations contained in the Consolidated Complaint, but there can be no assurance that the defense will be successful. On December 6, 2021, a putative shareholder of the Company, Carol Hessler, filed a shareholder derivative complaint against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Derivative Complaint”). The Derivative Complaint generally alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to the company by allegedly causing or allowing misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding the Company’s organic growth and Luke McGee’s alleged criminal activity, failing to maintain an adequate system of oversight, disclosure controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting and due diligence into the Company’s management team, and engaging in insider trading. The Derivative Complaint also alleges claims for waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. Finally, the Derivative Complaint alleges that certain of the individual defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by allegedly negligently issuing, causing to be issued, and participating in the issuance of materially misleading statements to stockholders in the Company’s Proxy Statements on Schedule DEF 14A in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 3, 2021, and the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on July 27, 2021. The Derivative Complaint seeks, among other things, an award of money damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations contained in the Derivative Complaint, but there can be no assurance that the defense will be successful. (17) Related Party Transactions The Company and one of its executive officers and shareholder owns an equity interest in a vendor of the Company that provides automated order intake software. The individual’s equity ownership is less than 1%. The expense related to this vendor was $4.9 million, $2.6 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company accounts for this investment under the cost method of accounting based on its level of equity ownership. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had an immaterial outstanding accounts payable balance to this vendor. A director of the Company serves on the board of directors of a third-party payor that does business with the Company in the normal course of providing services to patients. Net revenue from this third-party payor was less than 1.0% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. As of 133 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had an immaterial outstanding accounts receivable balance from this third-party payor. On December 31, 2014, an executive of AdaptHealth Holdings borrowed approximately $1.0 million to acquire membership interests in AdaptHealth Holdings, which was recorded as a reduction to members’ equity at that time. The principal was due in full at maturity on December 31, 2021. Monthly payments were due of interest only at a rate of 1.9% per annum starting in February 2015. As part of the transactions completed in connection with the Business Combination, the loan was forgiven, resulting in an expense of approximately $1.0 million, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2019. (18) Income Taxes On January 2, 2021, the Company completed a corporate restructuring to simplify its tax structure (the Tax Restructuring). In connection with the Tax Restructuring, on January, 1, 2021, all remaining outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, together with a corresponding number of New AdaptHealth Units, were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock. After these exchanges, AdaptHealth Holdings filed an entity classification election with the Internal Revenue Service, electing to be treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective January 2, 2021. As a result of the Business Combination and prior to the Tax Restructuring, the Company was subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of AdaptHealth Holdings. AdaptHealth Holdings was treated as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes and generally did not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, AdaptHealth Holdings’ taxable income or loss was passed through to its members, including the Company. Additionally, the Company was subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on the taxable income or loss of the underlying C-corporations in the AdaptHealth group where taxes are paid at the entity level. As a result of the Tax Restructuring, the Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on substantially all of its earnings. The current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in thousands): Current: Federal State Deferred: Federal State Total income tax (benefit) expense Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2021 $ $ 2,356 $ 8,070 10,426 22,891 (511) 22,380 32,806 $ 5,608 $ 3,538 9,146 (16,587) (4,514) (21,101) (11,955) $ (961) 1,222 261 371 107 478 739 A reconciliation of the effective income tax rate with the applicable statutory federal income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: 134 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Management evaluates the need for valuation allowances on the deferred income tax assets according to the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. In 135 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 making this determination, management assesses all available evidence, both positive and negative, available at the time balance sheet date. This includes, but is not limited to, recent earnings, internally prepared income projections, and historical financial performance. A history of cumulative losses is a significant piece of negative evidence used in the assessment. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had a valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets of $1.8 million, and $1.5 million, respectively. As a result of the Tax Restructuring, AdaptHealth Holdings is treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective January 2, 2021. The Company’s deferred tax asset related to investment in partnership has been allocated to underlying assets of AdaptHealth Holdings which primarily relates to goodwill. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had federal net operating losses (NOLs) carryforwards of $139.6 million and $49.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had state NOLs of $85.7 million. and $29.4 million respectively. Federal NOLs generated after December 31, 2017 do not expire and the state rules vary by state. Of the Company’s total federal NOLs, $3.9 million were acquired as part of the acquisition of Pinnacle and begin expiring in 2031, and $111.8 million were acquired as part of the acquisition of AeroCare and may be carried forward indefinitely. Due to NOL limitation rules, the Company believes approximately $3.4 million of the acquired Pinnacle NOLs will expire before utilization and $1.8 million of the Company’s historical NOLs are fully limited and has recorded a valuation allowance accordingly. The remaining federal NOLs of $134.4 million were generated after December 31, 2017 and are not subject to expiration. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had capital loss carryforwards of $2.8 million that are subject to expiration in 2026. The Company does not anticipate utilizing these carryforwards prior to expiration and has recorded a valuation allowance accordingly. The Company will recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that the position is "more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term "tax position” refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows (in thousands). There was no activity related to unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2019.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 losses. As such, the Company recognized a corresponding asset on its consolidated balance sheet and no amount of the Company’s uncertain tax positions, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate of the Company. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s accrued liability for interest and penalties is $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions. The Company generally is no longer subject to U.S. or state examinations by tax authorities for taxable years prior to 2017, based on the U.S. statute of limitations. However, net operating losses utilized from prior years in subsequent years’ tax returns are subject to examination until three years after the filing of subsequent years’ tax returns. Tax Receivable Agreement Prior to the Tax Restructuring, the owners of AdaptHealth Holdings had the right to exchange their New AdaptHealth Units for shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. As a result of such exchanges, the Company’s membership interest in AdaptHealth Holdings increased and its purchase price was reflected in its share of the tax basis of AdaptHealth Holdings’ tangible and intangible assets. Any resulting increases in tax basis were likely to increase tax depreciation and amortization deductions and, therefore, reduce the amount of income tax the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future. Any such increase also decreased gain (or increased loss) on future dispositions of the affected assets. At the Closing of the Business Combination, there were exchanges of 3,480,466 New AdaptHealth Units resulting in approximately $33.6 million of amortizable IRC Section 754 tax basis step-up in the tax-deductible goodwill of AdaptHealth Holdings. Subsequent to the Closing of the Business Combination and through December 31, 2021, there were an additional 31,936,305 exchanges of New AdaptHealth Units that increased the amortizable IRC Section 754 tax basis step-up of tax-deductible goodwill by approximately $1,029.6 million, of which $537.9 million, $485.7 million and $6.0 million was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Of these exchanges, 13,218,758, 18,167,547 and 550,000 occurred during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company and AdaptHealth Holdings entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) with certain sellers and AdaptHealth Holdings members. The TRA will generally provide for the payment by the Company to the corresponding sellers and AdaptHealth Holdings members of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing of the Business Combination as a result of: (i) certain tax attributes of the corresponding sellers existing prior to the Business Combination; (ii) certain increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of New AdaptHealth Units and shares of Class B Common Stock; (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of payments it makes under the TRA; and (iv) certain increases in tax basis resulting from payments the Company makes under the TRA. Under the TRA, the benefits deemed realized by the Company as a result of the increase in tax basis attributable to the AdaptHealth Holdings members generally will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company to the amount of such taxes that the Company would have been required to pay had there been no so increase in tax basis. Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the TRA depends on a variety of factors. The actual increase in tax basis and deductions, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon several factors, including: ● The timing of such exchanges – for instance, the increase in any tax deductions will vary depending on the fair value of the depreciable or amortizable assets of AdaptHealth Holdings at the time of each exchange; ● The price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of the exchange – the increase in any tax deductions, and the tax basis increase in other assets of AdaptHealth Holdings is directly proportional to the price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of the exchange; 137 Table of Contents ADAPTHEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 ● The amount and timing of the Company’s income – the Company is required to pay 85% of the deemed benefits as and when deemed realized. If AdaptHealth Holdings does not have taxable income, the Company is generally not required (absent a change in control or circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make payments under the TRA for that taxable year because no benefit will have been realized. However, any tax benefits that do not result in realized benefits in a given tax year likely will generate tax attributes that may be utilized to generate benefits in previous or future tax years. The utilization of such tax attributes will result in payments under the TRA; and ● Future tax rates of jurisdictions in which the Company has tax liability. The TRA also provides that upon certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, AdaptHealth Holdings’ (or its successor’s) obligations under the TRA would be based on certain assumptions defined in the TRA. As a result of these assumptions, AdaptHealth could be required to make payments under the TRA that are greater or less than the specified percentage of the actual benefits realized by the Company that are subject to the TRA. In addition, if AdaptHealth Holdings elects to terminate the TRA early, it would be required to make an early termination payment, which upfront payment may be made significantly in advance of the anticipated future tax benefits. Payments generally are due under the TRA within a specified period following the filing of AdaptHealth Holdings’ U.S. federal and state income tax returns for the taxable year with respect to which the payment obligation arises. Payments under the TRA generally will be based on the tax reporting positions that AdaptHealth Holdings will determine. Although AdaptHealth Holdings does not expect the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to challenge the Company’s tax reporting positions, AdaptHealth Holdings will not be reimbursed for any overpayments previously made under the TRA, but instead the overpayments will reduce future payments. As a result, in certain circumstances, payments could be made under the TRA in excess of the benefits that AdaptHealth Holdings realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRA. The term of the TRA generally will continue until all applicable tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA and make an early termination payment. In certain circumstances (such as certain changes in control, the election of the Company to exercise its right to terminate the agreement and make an early termination payment or an IRS challenge to a tax basis increase) it is possible that cash payments under the TRA may exceed actual cash savings. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company increased its TRA liability by $146.5 million and $140.4 million, respectively, through a reduction in additional-paid-in capital, resulting from additional exchanges of New AdaptHealth Units and shares of Class B Common Stock. Correspondingly, during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company increased its deferred tax asset by $164.1 million and $165.2 million, respectively, through an increase in additional-paid-in-capital resulting from these exchanges. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s liability relating to the TRA was $300.3 million and $152.0 million, respectively, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. (19) Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events for the period from December 31, 2021 through the date that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events requiring adjustment to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or additional disclosure. 138 Table of Contents Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure Not applicable. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2021. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, during the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as further described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to the timeliness of our review controls over non-routine transactions (the "Non-routine Transaction Material Weakness”). Additionally, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as it relates to the Non-routine Transaction Material Weakness, we further identified that, specifically we lacked a sufficient number of professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training, and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately. As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to the accounts payable process, specifically relating to the maintenance and approvals of vendors and the invoice approval process (the "Accounts Payable Material Weakness”). The Company has not identified any fraud or loss relating to such material weakness. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 139 Table of Contents On February 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of AeroCare Holdings, Inc. ("AeroCare”), on April 30, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Spiro Health Services, LLC ("Spiro”) and on December 30, 2021 we completed the acquisition of Community Surgical Supply of Toms River, LLC ("Community Surgical Supply”). SEC guidance permits management to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the year of acquisition. In conducting our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we excluded AeroCare, Spiro and Community Surgical Supply, representing total assets of $342.8 million and total revenues of $718.0 million, from our evaluation as of December 31, 2021. Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the criteria set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control- Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we identified material weaknesses related to an insufficient complement of resources resulting in an ineffective risk assessment (the "Insufficient Complement of Resources, Risk Assessment and General Information Technology Material Weaknesses”). Our ineffective risk assessment resulted in material weaknesses from both lack of implementation and ineffectiveness of process level controls in substantially all processes that support our financial statements and reporting. The ineffective risk assessment also resulted in ineffective general information technology controls due to an incomplete understanding of the risks associated with information technology systems relevant to our financial reporting processes. The material weaknesses did not result in any identified misstatements to the financial statements and there were no changes to previously released financial results. Based on these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, who audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has expressed an adverse report on the operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. KPMG LLP's report appears on page 72 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Remediation of Material Weaknesses With respect to the Insufficient Complement of Resources, Risk Assessment and General Information Technology Material Weaknesses, management is taking steps to remediate such material weaknesses, including (1) establishing an executive steering committee to monitor the remediation of the material weaknesses, (2) adding professionals to the executive team with expertise in process mapping and internal controls; (3) process mapping each business cycle to identify relevant process risk points, service and sub-service organizations, information technology systems and information, and designing and implementing responsive manual and automated controls, (4) engaging third-party consultants to assist management in this effort, and (5) implementing an enterprise resource planning system expected to go-live in the first quarter of 2022, which will impact a variety of processes and our review and approval of journal entries. While management has begun the remediation process, these material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the enhanced controls have been designed, implemented and operated effectively for a sufficient period of time. Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financing Reporting With respect to the previously reported Non-routine Transaction Material Weakness, we have (1) implemented processes to improve our analysis, recording and disclosure of non-routine transactions and (2) while we still lack sufficient resources to effectively manage our overall system of internal control over financial reporting as described above, we have added experienced technical accounting resources (including a Vice President & Controller, Vice President of Tax, Treasurer, and have engaged third-party consultants to assist) to perform timely analysis and review of non-routine transactions. With respect to the previously reported Accounts Payable Material Weakness, we have (1) implemented processes and controls with respect to vendor masterfile changes, and (2) engaged a third-party consulting firm to assist with the implementation of an enterprise accounts payable system. 140 Table of Contents Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, management implemented certain internal controls in conjunction with the Company’s adoption of FASB ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Except with respect to the changes in connection with the adoption of Topic 842, changes in connection with the initiatives to remediate the previously reported material weaknesses noted above, and the process of incorporating AeroCare, Spiro and Community Surgical Supply into our system of internal control over financial reporting, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
