Guardian Pharmacy Services Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Raises Full-Year Guidance

ATLANTA, August 6, 2026 – 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company also raised its full-year guidance.

•

Revenue of $351.8 million, up 2% year-over-year.

•

Residents served ended the quarter at approximately 210,000, up 8% year-over-year.

•

Net Income of $22.1 million, inclusive of a $8.5 million settlement related to a payor dispute,

compared to $8.8 million in the prior-year period.

•

Adjusted EBITDA of $29.7 million, compared to $25.0 million in the prior-year period.

•

Diluted EPS of $0.34 for the quarter, with Adjusted EPS of

$0.29.1

•

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $89.8 million at quarter-end, with

no long-term debt outstanding under our credit facility.

CEO Commentary

“Guardian delivered another strong quarter, with continued momentum across our local markets,” said Fred Burke, President and Chief Executive

Officer. “While IRA-related pricing reductions affected reported revenue growth, which was up 2%, the underlying business remained strong. Absent the price reductions from the IRA, revenues would have

been up low double digits compared to the second quarter of 2025. We also continued to expand profitability, reflecting the benefits of scale, purchasing leverage and improved operating efficiency.”

Burke continued, “Our second-quarter performance, together with our outlook for the remainder of the year, gives us the confidence to raise our 2026

guidance.”

FY 2026 Outlook – Updating Guidance

The guidance below excludes any future acquisitions.

Updated Guidance

Previous Guidance

Revenue

1.43 billion - $1.45 billion

1.40 billion -$1.42 billion

Adjusted EBITDA

129 million -$131 million

122 million -$127 million

M&A and Greenfields

Subsequent to quarter-end, Guardian completed the acquisition of Wellness Concepts, a long-term care pharmacy based in

Grottoes, Virginia. Founded in 1999, Wellness Concepts has established a strong reputation for service and quality care throughout the Shenandoah Valley. The pharmacy’s existing leadership and employees will remain in place.

Diluted EPS and Adjusted EPS include dilutive shares related to restricted stock units. See reconciliation of

Adjusted EPS to Diluted EPS, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, below.

Guardian also launched a new greenfield pharmacy in Lexington, Kentucky, representing the Company’s

first location in the state. The pharmacy was developed collaboratively by Guardian’s Tennessee and Cincinnati operations under the leadership of David Brown, one of the Company’s recently appointed regional senior vice presidents.

Lexington represents the fourth greenfield pharmacy developed by this leadership team since joining Guardian through the Company’s Middle Tennessee acquisition in 2009. Together, these investments further expand Guardian’s geographic

footprint and demonstrate the Company’s ability to combine local market expertise, acquired talent and disciplined development to support long-term growth.

Leadership and Organizational Updates

As previously

announced, Guardian appointed David Morris as Chief Operating Officer and Will Mudd as Chief Financial Officer, effective July 1, 2026. Mr. Morris previously served as Guardian’s Chief Financial Officer and has played a central role

in the Company’s development since its inception. In his new role, he will oversee Guardian’s pharmacy operations and sales organization.

Mr. Mudd joined Guardian in 2012 and has held positions of increasing responsibility across the Company’s finance organization. He most recently

served as Senior Vice President of Finance and has been instrumental in developing the financial infrastructure that supported Guardian’s growth and transition to becoming a public company. The appointments reflect the depth of

Guardian’s leadership team and support the Company’s continued evolution as it expands its national platform.

In connection with these

organizational changes, Guardian also implemented a regional leadership structure led by eight regional senior vice presidents, designed to strengthen accountability, improve coordination and better support local pharmacy teams while preserving the

entrepreneurial culture and local decision-making central to Guardian’s operating model.

Conference Call Details

Guardian will host a conference call to discuss these results today at 4:30 pm ET. The call can be accessed live by dialing +1 (833) 461-5787 for participants located in the United States and Canada, or +1 (585) 542-9983 for international participants, and referencing conference ID “153 713

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than those of historical fact. Any statements about

our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions, or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words such as

“aims,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,”

“projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these

statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties which are subject to change based on various important factors, many of which are beyond our control. Such risks and uncertainties include: our ability to

effectively execute our business and growth strategies, implement new initiatives and improve efficiency; our ability to effectively market and sell, customer acceptance of, and competition for, our pharmaceutical and health care services in new and

existing markets; our relationships with pharmaceutical wholesalers and key manufacturers, LTCFs and health plan payors; our ability to maintain and expand relationships with LTCF operators on favorable terms; our ability to identify, complete and

successfully integrate acquisitions; the impact of a national emergency, public health crisis, global pandemic or outbreak of infectious disease on our employees, business, supply chain and the LTCFs we serve; continuing government and private

efforts to lower pharmaceutical costs, including by capping the prices for certain drugs and limiting pharmacy reimbursements; changes in, and our ability to comply

with, healthcare and other applicable laws, regulations or interpretations; further consolidation of managed care organizations and other health plan payors and changes in the terms of our

agreements with these parties; our ability to retain members of our senior management team, our local pharmacy management teams and our pharmacy professionals; our exposure to, and the results of, claims, legal proceedings and governmental

inquiries; our ability to maintain the security and integrity of our operating and information technology systems and infrastructure (e.g., against cyber-attacks); product liability, product recall, personal injury or other health and safety issues

related to the pharmaceuticals we dispense; the impact of supply chain and other manufacturing disruptions or trade policies related to the pharmaceuticals we dispense; the sufficiency of our sources of liquidity and financial resources to fund our

future operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, and our ability to raise additional capital, if needed; and the misuse or off-label use, or errors in the dispensing or administration, of the

pharmaceuticals we dispense. We are subject to additional risks and uncertainties described in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including in the “Risk Factors” section contained in

our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which report is publicly available at www.sec.gov and via our website, investors.guardianpharmacy.com. Any forward-looking statements in this press release should be

evaluated in light of these important risk factors. This press release reflects management’s views as of the date hereof. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Guardian undertakes no obligation to update or revise any information

contained in this press release beyond the published date, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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. Copies of our reports are available on our website at no expense at investors.guardianpharmacy.com and

through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the results presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted

Net Income, and Adjusted EPS, which are financial measures not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP.

We define

Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense (income), 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, certain legal and regulatory items, financing-related and other activities, and payor-reimbursement matters.

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, and the income tax impact of the adjustments.

We define

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

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS do not have a definition under GAAP, and our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted

Net Income, and Adjusted EPS may not be the same as, or comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We use Adjusted

EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS to better understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS 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 Net Income, and Adjusted EPS 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 do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our

working capital needs;

•

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS do not consider the impact of share-based compensation;

and

•

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS 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, and Adjusted EPS 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,

and Adjusted EPS alongside other financial measures, including net income, diluted EPS, and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and of Adjusted Net Income to Net Income Attributable to Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc.,

the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, are set forth below.

Guardian has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of

forecasted adjusted EBITDA to forecasted net income within this release because Guardian is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence due to the variability and complexity of such items.

These items include, but are not limited to, income taxes and share-based compensation. These items, which could materially affect the computation of forecasted net income, are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors that are not

estimable at this time.
