Abbreviated Financial Statements:
Statement of Revenue and Direct Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 (Audited)			5
Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed as of December 31, 2024 (Audited)			6
Notes to Abbreviated Financial Statements			7

We have audited the abbreviated financial statements of Acquired UnitedHealth Subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2024, the related statement of revenues and direct expenses for the year then ended, and the related notes to the abbreviated financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and its revenues and direct expenses for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared for the purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

LHC Group, Inc. (“LHC”), a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (“UnitedHealth”, or the “Company”), is a health care provider specializing in the post-acute continuum of care. LHC operations involve servicing patients through home health, hospice, home and community-based services, facility-based services primarily through long-term acute care hospitals, and healthcare innovations.

On April 30, 2025, the Pennant Group, Inc. (“Pennant”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), as subsequently amended by the First Amendment to Purchase Agreement dated October 1, 2025 (the “Amendment” and the Purchase Agreement as so amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Agreement”), by and among its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cornerstone Healthcare, Inc. (“Equity Buyer”) and Tensaw River Healthcare LLC (“Asset Buyer”), and UnitedHealth, Amedisys, Inc. (“Amedisys”), and certain other sellers (collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, Equity Buyer agreed to acquire from the Sellers certain equity interests in, and Asset Buyer agreed to acquire from the Sellers certain assets of, certain subsidiaries of UnitedHealth and Amedisys related to providing home health, hospice, or palliative care services through certain providers (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on October 1, 2025 (the “Closing Date”).

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying abbreviated financial statements, which consist of the statement of revenue and direct expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2024, and the related notes thereto, will henceforth be collectively referred to as the “Abbreviated Financial Statements”. The Abbreviated Financial Statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the requirements of Rule 3-05 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and present the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related revenue and direct expenses of the subsidiaries of UnitedHealth. The Abbreviated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The subsidiaries did not represent a substantial portion of UnitedHealth’s assets and liabilities. It is impracticable to prepare complete financial statements related to the subsidiaries as UnitedHealth has not maintained the distinct and separate books and records necessary to prepare full stand-alone or carve-out financial statements. As a result, the statement of revenue and direct expenses was derived from the operating activities directly attributable to the subsidiaries from UnitedHealth’s books and records and contains certain estimates and allocation methodologies. Although management is unable to determine all of the actual costs, expenses and resulting operating results associated with the subsidiaries, it considers the allocation of such items to be reasonable for the periods presented. However, the revenue and direct expenses of the subsidiaries may differ from the results that would have been achieved had the subsidiaries operated as a separate entity and may not necessarily reflect the assets and liabilities or revenue and expenses of the subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis in the future.

In addition, and as described further below, the statement of revenue and direct expenses excludes corporate overhead costs borne by UnitedHealth to support the subsidiaries. As such, the statement is not indicative of the future results of the subsidiaries as it omits various operating expenses that Pennant will incur to operate the subsidiaries in the future.

UnitedHealth performed certain functions for the subsidiaries including, but not limited to, corporate management, certain legal services, administration of insurance, regulatory and compliance, treasury, information systems, finance, corporate income tax administration, employee compensation and benefit management, facilities and other corporate expenses. The costs of these functions historically have not been allocated to its services, and are not directly attributable or specifically identifiable to the subsidiaries, and therefore, are not included in the Abbreviated Financial Statements. Income taxes and interest expense have not been included in the accompanying statements as these expenses are not specifically attributable to the subsidiaries. As the subsidiaries have historically been managed as part of the operations of the Company and have not been operated as stand-alone entities, information about the subsidiaries’ operating, investing, and financing cash flows is not available. As such, a statement of cash flows is not presented in the Abbreviated Financial Statements.

Estimates and Assumptions - The preparation of the Abbreviated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Abbreviated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates in the Abbreviated Financial Statements relate to revenue recognition and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized when services are provided to the patients at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled from patients and third-party payors, including Medicaid, Medicare and insurers (private and Medicare replacement plans), in exchange for providing patient care. Revenue recognized from healthcare services are adjusted for estimates of variable consideration to arrive at the transaction price. The Company determines the transaction price based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, adjusted for estimates of variable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method in determining the variable component that should be used to arrive at the transaction price, using contractual agreements and historical reimbursement experience within each payor type. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. If actual amounts of consideration ultimately received differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net service revenue in the period such variances become known.

As the Company’s contracts have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient applicable to its contracts and does not consider the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue. In addition, the Company has applied the practical expedient provided by Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, and all incremental customer contract acquisition costs are expensed as they are incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. See Note 3, Revenue and Accounts Receivable.

Property and Equipment, net - Property and equipment are initially recorded at their historical cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets (ranging from five to seven years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets - The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of certificates of need, Medicare licenses, and tradenames. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable.

Revenue is recognized when services are provided to the patients at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled from patients and third-party payors, including Medicaid, Medicare and managed care programs (Commercial, Medicare Advantage and Managed Medicaid plans). The healthcare services in home health and hospice patient contracts include routine services in exchange for a contractual agreed-upon amount or rates. Routine services are treated as a single performance obligation satisfied over time as services are rendered. As such, patient care services represent a bundle of services that are not capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. Additionally, there may be ancillary services which are not included in the rates for routine services, but instead are treated as separate performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, if and when those services are rendered.

Revenue recognized from healthcare services are adjusted for estimates of variable consideration to arrive at the transaction price. The Company determines the transaction price based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, adjusted for estimates of variable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method in determining the variable component that should be used to arrive at the transaction price, using contractual agreements and historical reimbursement experience within each payor type. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. If actual amounts of consideration ultimately received differ from the

The Company records revenue from Medicare, Medicaid and managed care programs as services are performed at their expected net realizable amounts under these programs. The Company’s revenue from governmental and managed care programs is subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by governmental and third-party agencies. Consistent with healthcare industry accounting practices, any changes to these governmental revenue estimates are recorded in the period the change or adjustment becomes known based on final settlement.

The Company has operating leases through which their independent operating subsidiaries lease administrative offices of home health and hospice agencies with initial lease terms ranging from two to five years. Most of these operating leases are non-cancelable, contain renewal options, most involve rent increases and none contain purchase options. The lease term excludes lease renewals because the renewal rents are not at a bargain, there are no economic penalties for the Company to renew the lease, and it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the extension options.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through December 16, 2025, the date on which these Abbreviated Financial Statements were available to be issued, and is not aware of any items that that would require adjustment to or disclosure in these Abbreviated Financial Statements and related notes.
