Addus HomeCare Corp — Call Transcript 2026

Good morning. I'm Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare Corporation. I would like to welcome you to the company's 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. We are holding this meeting virtually via live audio webcast, and we appreciate your being with us today. It is now shortly after 10:00 A.M. Central Time on June 10th, 2026, and this meeting is officially called to order. Let's move directly to the business of this meeting. I will serve as the chairman of the meeting. Brian Poff, who is Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Addus, will serve as secretary of the meeting. Also, in addition to Brian Poff, we have in attendance today other executive officers and members of our Board of Directors. I would now like to ask Mr. Poff to turn to certain procedural formalities. Thank you, Dirk. To ensure the orderly conduct of the business of this meeting, we have adopted the order of business to match the order of proposals set forth in our notice of annual meeting of shareholders and proxy statement. The rules of procedure for today's meeting are available on the meeting web portal. We ask that, in fairness to all shareholders attending this meeting, that you honor these rules. The voting polls are open now and will close shortly after all proposals have been announced. You may vote your shares using the voting function of the meeting web portal if you have not already done so. If you have a question or comment that relates to a proposal being presented, please submit it through the meeting web portal by typing the question into the Ask a Question field as soon as possible and prior to the discussion of the proposals to permit the chairman time to discuss and address the question. Following the close of voting, we will announce results and adjourn the meeting. Our first action in the general order of business today will be to review the proposals to be considered. After voting on these proposals, we will then receive a report containing the voting results. Let me introduce Dru Anderson of FINN Partners, who assisted in the distribution of the proxy materials. Ms. Anderson will serve as the Inspector of Election for today's meeting to determine the presence of a quorum and to serve as judge of voting on all matters requiring shareholder vote. Next, I note that I have a list of shareholders entitled to vote at this meeting and evidence that notice of this meeting was properly given to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date, April 23rd, 2026. This list has been available for inspection and will remain available during this meeting for inspection by shareholders. With that, I will turn it back over to Dirk. Thank you, Brian. Ms. Anderson, has the Inspector of Election determined whether a quorum is present at this meeting? Mr. Chairman, I have determined that there are shareholders represented at this meeting, virtually present or by proxy, holding common stock representing at least a majority of the eligible votes, which is sufficient for a quorum or for transacting the business at this meeting. I find that a quorum is present for the purpose of conducting business at this meeting, and I declare that this meeting is legally convened and ready to transact business. All holders of the company's common stock as of the close of business on April 23rd, 2026, are entitled to vote at this meeting, either in person or by proxy, on all business to come before the meeting. The first item of business on our agenda today is the election of two Class 2 directors to serve for a term of three years or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Michael Earley and Veronica Hill-Milbourne are nominated to serve as Class 2 directors. The secretary advises me that there were no nominations by shareholders submitted to the company prior to this meeting in accordance with the company's bylaws. Therefore, I declare the nominations closed. The second item on our agenda is the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The third and final item on our agenda is the approval on an advisory, non-binding basis of the company's compensation of its named executive officers. I now declare the polls for this meeting to be open. Any shareholder present who has not yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions provided there. Shareholders who have already sent in proxies or previously voted and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. I now announce the polls for this meeting closed. Will the Inspector of Election please report the results of the vote? Mr. Chairman, on the proposal for the election of the Class 2 directors, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders present and entitled to vote at this meeting were cast in favor of Michael Earley and Veronica Hill-Milbourne. The proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company's independent auditor for 2026 received the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at this meeting. The proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the company's named executive officers received the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at this meeting. Thank you. The Chairman declares that each of the proposals on which we voted today has been duly approved. I hereby direct the results of the voting to be incorporated into the minutes of this meeting. The business for which this meeting has been held is now complete.
