Question
Representing Andrew Mok from Barclays, Evan asked about the integration progress of Gentiva, the timeline to achieve mature margins, and its impact on cash flow and the 2025 M&A pace. He also sought to clarify details of acquisition-related expenses.
Answer
President and COO W. Bickham described the Gentiva integration as proceeding smoothly, with major back-office functions like payroll already transitioned. He noted the largest remaining step, a billing system conversion, is on an 18-month timeline. CFO Brian Poff added that cash flow conversion should remain consistent and confirmed that the $5.6 million in banking fees was part of the total $7 million in Q4 acquisition expenses.
