Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. (NYSE: GRDN), one of the nation's leading long-term care ("LTC") pharmacy services companies, announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company also raised its full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.

Third Quarter Financial Results

• Net Income (loss) of $9.6 million, compared to ($105.8) million in the prior-year period. Such year-over-year comparison is not meaningful due to income tax expense¹ in the recently completed quarter, and certain one-time share-based compensation expenses from the year prior.²

• Diluted EPS of $0.15 for the quarter, with Adjusted EPS of $0.25.³

During the quarter, Guardian announced the acquisition of Managed Healthcare Pharmacy, establishing its first physical footprint in Oregon and further expanding its presence across the Pacific Northwest.

Additional Information

This release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the results presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted SG&A, which are financial measures not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude the impact of items and amounts that we view as not indicative of our core operating performance, including share-based compensation, acquisition accounting adjustments, certain legal and regulatory items, financing-related and other activities, payor-reimbursement matters, and certain tax matters related to the Corporate Reorganization and IPO.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income attributable to Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. before share-based compensation expense, certain legal and other regulatory items, financing-related and other activities, payor-reimbursement matters, amortization expense associated with acquisition-related intangible assets, the income tax impact of the adjustments, and certain tax matters related to the Corporate Reorganization and IPO.

We define Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the total weighted average of diluted shares for Class A and Class B common stock.

We define Adjusted SG&A as GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation, expenses relating to certain legal and regulatory items, financing-related and other activities, and payor-reimbursement matters.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted SG&A do not have a definition under GAAP, and our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted SG&A may not be the same as, or comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A to better understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results, as it permits investors to view our core business performance using the same metrics that management uses to evaluate our performance.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A rather than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, including:

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest and income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;
• Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges and the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
• Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
• Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A do not consider the impact of share-based compensation; and
• Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A exclude the impact of certain legal and regulatory items, and payor-reimbursement matters which can affect our current and future cash requirements.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. You should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted SG&A alongside other financial measures, including net income, diluted EPS, GAAP selling, general, and administrative expense and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, are set forth below.
