Executive Promotions

On February 18, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company promoted Christopher T. Gerard, currently the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, to President and Chief Operating Officer and Scott G. Ginn, currently the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.

Paul B. Kusserow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “I am very proud of our fourth quarter and full year 2020 results. This was an incredible year under normal circumstances, throw in PDGM and a pandemic and I really could not be more proud of the team for all we accomplished. A special thank you to all of our clinician staff for continuing to do what you do best. It is because of your compassion, bravery and tireless efforts that we are able to deliver another great quarter. I would also like to congratulate Chris Gerard on his promotion to President and COO and Scott Ginn on his promotion to Executive Vice President and CFO. Chris and Scott have been integral to both the company’s operational success as well as in setting our strategic direction. This is a fitting reward for their great work!”

We urge caution in considering the current trends and 2021 guidance disclosed in this press release. The home health, hospice and personal care industries are highly competitive and subject to intensive regulations, and trends are subject to numerous factors, risks, and uncertainties, some of which are referenced in the cautionary language below and others that are described more fully in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K which can be found on the SEC’s internet website, http://www.sec.gov, and our internet website, http://www.amedisys.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes reconciliations of the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules are as follows: (1) adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding certain items; (2) adjusted net service revenue, defined as net service revenue excluding certain items; (3) adjusted other operating income, defined as other operating income excluding certain items; (4) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc., defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. excluding certain items; and (5) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. per diluted share, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. common stockholders per diluted share excluding certain items. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful gauges of our current performance and are also included in internal management reporting. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not more meaningful than or as an alternative to the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the company’s financial statements. Non-GAAP measures as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures consistently.

Amedisys Announces Two Executive Promotions

Christopher Gerard named President and Chief Operating Officer and Scott Ginn named Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

BATON ROUGE, La., February 24, 2021 – Amedisys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMED), a leading provider of home health, hospice and personal care, announces the promotions of Christopher Gerard, to President and Chief Operating Officer, and Scott Ginn, to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.

Paul Kusserow continues his role as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

“I am thrilled to announce the appointment by the Board of Directors of Chris Gerard to President and Chief Operating Officer, and Scott Ginn to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,” stated Chairman and CEO Paul Kusserow. “I have had the privilege of working with Scott since 2014 and Chris since 2017, and the performance of the Company under their leadership has been nothing short of tremendous. Both Chris and Scott bring incredible experience and expertise to our team, and have been key to setting the strategic direction and executing on that strategy to deliver superlative results. Both of these promotions are richly deserved and fully earned as a result of exemplary leadership and achievements. As they take on their new positions, I am confident that both will continue to lead Amedisys–with the support of our management team—to even greater levels of success.”

During Gerard’s tenure as Chief Operating Officer, Amedisys has realized clinical and operational success and growth in all three business lines. Under his leadership, Amedisys has: grown its footprint to include 514 care centers which span 39 states and the District of Columbia; become the leader in Home Health quality achieving a Quality of Patient Care Star score of 4.33 stars with 95% of all care centers at 4 stars or above; prospered even with the implementation of the Patient-Driven Groupings Model, the largest payment reform from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 20 years; and become the third largest hospice provider in the United States.

In his leadership roles at Amedisys, most recently as Chief Financial Officer, Ginn has been responsible for all accounting operations, mergers and acquisitions, innovations, cost control systems and financial reporting. He has played a pivotal role in leading financial operations and building strong relationships with our analysts, lenders and shareholders and in growing Amedisys’ revenue from $500 million to over $2 billion.

“Amedisys’ vision to become the solution for those who want to age in place has never been more important than it is in today’s reality,” stated Chris Gerard, President and


Chief Operating Officer. “I am excited and honored to help lead Amedisys with continued excellence. It’s gratifying to be a part of such an exceptional organization of wonderful caregivers who are committed to the highest quality of patient care.”

“It has been a privilege to be a part of Amedisys for the past 14 years,” stated Scott Ginn, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “It is rewarding to be a member of a team that helped our Company execute in all areas of our strategy. I’m excited about our opportunities in the future to continue to grow Amedisys which will allow us to provide our excellent clinical care to even more patients across the country.”
