Exhibit 99.1
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This release and any schedules incorporated by reference into it may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, which are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, and our beliefs and assumptions. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “estimates,” “will,” “goal,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us that any of our plans will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Such forward-looking information is also subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks arising from our providing services to the healthcare industry and primarily providers of long-term care; credit and collection risks associated with the healthcare industry; the impact of bank failures; our claims experience related to workers’ compensation, general liability and auto insurance; the effects of changes in, or interpretations of laws and regulations governing the healthcare industry, our workforce and services provided, including state and local regulations pertaining to the taxability of our services and other labor-related matters such as minimum wage increases; the Company’s expectations with respect to selling, general and administrative expense; the impacts of past or future cyber attacks or breaches; and the risk factors described in Part I of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 under “Government Regulation of Customers,” “Service Agreements and Collections,” and “Competition” and under Item IA. “Risk Factors” in such Form 10K.

These factors, in addition to delays in payments from customers and/or customers undergoing restructurings, have resulted in, and could continue to result in, significant additional bad debts in the near future. Additionally, our operating results have been in the past and could in the future be adversely affected by continued inflation particularly if increases in the costs of labor and labor-related costs, materials, supplies and equipment used in performing services (including the impact of potential tariffs) cannot be passed on to our customers.

In addition, we believe that to improve our financial performance we must continue to obtain service agreements with new customers, retain and provide new services to existing customers, achieve modest price increases on current service agreements with existing customers and/or maintain internal cost reduction strategies at our various operational levels. Furthermore, we believe that our ability to sustain the internal development of managerial personnel is an important factor impacting future operating results and the successful execution of our projected growth strategies. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To supplement HCSG’s consolidated financial information, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating operating performance and comparing such performance to other companies.

The Company is presenting adjusted cash flows provided by operations, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA excluding items impacting comparability (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We cannot provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

2.The Company offers a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for executives and certain key employees which is also referred to as the Company’s “Deferred Compensation” plan. For SERP participants, the Company has historically retained, and anticipates continuing to retain, 100% of the funds received from SERP participants and holds such assets (the “Deferred Compensation Assets”) in a brokerage account where the investments are managed to mirror the investment elections of SERP participant holdings under such plans (the “Deferred Compensation Liabilities”). The Company’s changes in fair market value of the Deferred Compensation Assets are presented under the “Other income, net” caption on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, however the corresponding and offsetting changes in the fair market value of the Deferred Compensation Liabilities are presented under the “Selling, general and administrative expense” caption.
3.The accrued payroll adjustment reflects changes in accrued payroll for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company processes payroll on set weekly and bi-weekly schedules, and the timing of payments may result in operating cash flow increases or decreases which are not indicative of the Company’s quarterly cash flow performance.
