			<font style="display: inline;">In prior public statements, management discussed the possibility that the VITAS subsidiary could have an aggregate Medicare Cap billing limitation (Medicare Cap) related to its Florida consolidated program, excluding Tallahassee. However, as of the most recent quarterly earnings update, VITAS internal projections showed that the Florida consolidated program would end the 2025 government fiscal year ending on September 30, 2025 (2025 Cap Year) with a Medicare Cap cushion. Actual Medicare admissions in both April and May 2025 in Florida were weaker than anticipated and lower than VITAS&#x2019; internal projections. As a result, VITAS now projects a Medicare Cap revenue limitation for the 2025 Cap Year of $18 million to $25 million related to the Florida consolidated program, excluding Tallahassee. The above projection includes actual results through May. Actual June results, which show better admissions than projected through the first half of the month, and actual results in the third quarter could have a significant impact on this projection. Previous guidance for 2025 earnings did not include any Florida Medicare Cap. </font>

			<font style="display: inline;">The source of the Medicare Cap in the Florida consolidated program relates to two factors. The first factor is the &#x201C;community access&#x201D; program. While community access has provided for a higher-than-average ADC growth rate and revenue growth rate at VITAS over the past two years, it adds pressure to the Medicare Cap due to patients accessing hospice care earlier in their disease trajectory.</font>

			<font style="display: inline;">The second factor is the rate differential between the nationally determined increase in the Medicare Cap per admission and the actual reimbursement increase in our Florida consolidated programs, excluding Tallahassee, for the 2025 Cap Year. Specifically, the Medicare Cap per admission amount increased 2.9% while the Florida consolidated program reimbursement increase was 5.2%. VITAS estimates this rate differential will negatively impact the Florida consolidated program&#x2019;s Medicare Cap calculation by approximately $25 million for the 2025 government fiscal year, accounting for most, if not all, of the total revenue limitation discussed above. </font>

Pinellas is the most densely populated county in Florida and has a hospice utilization rate below the state average. There were approximately 8,600 Medicare admissions to existing hospice providers in Pinellas County in 2024. Entering Pinellas County represents a significant opportunity for VITAS in 2026 and beyond for both overall growth and Medicare Cap mitigation.</font>

			<font style="display: inline;">Based on the new start locations in Florida, primarily Marion County and Pinellas County, combined with operational changes currently being made in the Florida programs, management expects not to have any significant level of Medicare Cap revenue limitation in our Florida consolidated program for the 2026 fiscal year. This expectation assumes that the rate differential discussed above does not recur for the 2026 Cap Year</font><font style="display: inline;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that the rate differential does recur, VITAS will respond with further mitigation strategies at the outset of the 2026 Cap Year.</font>

			<font style="display: inline;">While less financially significant than the VITAS Medicare Cap situation, during the second quarter of 2025, Roto-Rooter began to experience unexpected weakness in its residential business&#x2019; demand compared to internal projections. This weakness represents a break from the trends experienced in the first quarter of 2025. Preliminary results for commercial demand in the second quarter of 2025 continue to reflect improved trends but not enough to offset the lower residential demand. </font>
