GMR Solutions Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and Updated Full Year 2026 Guidance
LEWISVILLE, Texas--( BUSINESS WIRE)--GMR Solutions Inc. (“GMR” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GMRS), the nation’s largest provider of emergency medical services (“EMS”), today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and updated its full year 2026 financial guidance.
“The third quarter showcased the resiliency that is inherent in GMR’s scale, national footprint, and integrated model,” said Nick Loporcaro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our ability to serve patients across a broad range of operations and geographies helped us navigate weather-related constraints and other external pressures while continuing to grow our core emergent services. Combined with the momentum we are seeing in Nurse Navigation and new market growth, these results reinforce our confidence in the strength of our platform and opportunities ahead.”
“We delivered strong financial performance in the third quarter, with revenue increasing 5.9% to $1,595.6 million, and net income increasing 81.7% to $135.6 million, despite weather-related pressure on flight activity, higher fuel and other inflationary costs, and the anticipated shift in payor mix,” said Brian Tierney, Chief Financial Officer. “Growth in our core emergent services, continued improvement in revenue per transport and disciplined cost management helped us absorb these headwinds while continuing to invest in the business and strengthen our financial position.”

A reconciliation of the foregoing guidance for the non-GAAP metric of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, including statements related to momentum in Nurse Navigation, market growth and our financial guidance. These forward-looking statements may relate to matters which include, but are not limited to, industries, business strategy, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foreseeable,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” the negative version of these words, or similar terms and phrases.
The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, and projections will result or be achieved. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional or local economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We believe that these factors include but are not limited to the following:
These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included herein and in our filings with the SEC, including the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in GMR’s final prospectus (the “IPO Prospectus”) in connection with our initial public offering (the “IPO”), filed with the SEC and dated May 12, 2026, as well as GMR’s subsequent other filings with the SEC from time to time. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement made by us herein speaks only as of the date of this press release and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included herein. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, investments, or other strategic transactions we may make. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws. For additional information on these and other factors that could cause GMR’s actual results to differ materially from expected results, please see our filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the “Investor Relations” tab of our website.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” and “Adjusted Diluted EPS.”
We provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance the understanding of our GAAP financial information and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. We believe that providing these non-GAAP measures in addition to the GAAP measures allows management, investors and other users of our financial information to more fully and accurately assess performance. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be directly comparable to that of other companies.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as further adjusted to exclude management fees, stock-based compensation, professional fees and other expenses for non-recurring matters, debt refinancing fees paid to (received from) third parties and certain other items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish and award discretionary annual incentive compensation, to report compliance with certain covenants in our debt agreements and to compare our performance against that of peer companies using similar measures. Moreover, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that investors consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA is an analytical indicator used by management and the healthcare industry to evaluate company performance and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows from operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used in debt compliance calculations. Net income (loss) is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined.
Adjusted Diluted EPS
We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted for the items and related income tax effects shown in the reconciliation below, divided by adjusted diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted shares reflect the inclusion of potentially dilutive stock awards and warrants excluded from GAAP diluted shares due to a net loss position, but do not include stock awards or warrants that are out of the money and whose inclusion would be antidilutive. We believe Adjusted Diluted EPS is useful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our earnings performance by excluding the effects of our pre-IPO preferred stock and other items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

(1)
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding for all periods presented include 23.7 million warrants to purchase common stock for little to no consideration.
(2)
Represents stock awards and warrants excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding under GAAP due to a net loss position, but do not include stock awards or warrants that are out of the money and whose inclusion would be antidilutive. Incremental shares from stock awards and warrants are calculated using the treasury stock method, consistent with the GAAP calculation. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately 5.2 million and less than 0.1 million shares issuable on the exercise of stock awards, respectively, were excluded from both the GAAP calculation and Adjusted Diluted EPS, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately 2.7 million and 0.3 million shares issuable on the exercise of stock awards, respectively, were excluded from both the GAAP calculation and Adjusted Diluted EPS, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
(3)
Represents undeclared cumulative dividends on, and the loss on redemption of, our Series B redeemable preferred stock. The Series B redeemable preferred stock was issued prior to the IPO and all outstanding shares were redeemed in connection with the IPO. Because no preferred stock remains outstanding, these charges will not recur and net income (loss) is now fully attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, these amounts are excluded from Adjusted Diluted EPS so that each period presented reflects our current capital structure. Undeclared dividends were zero and $40.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $32.7 million and $120.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The loss on redemption of redeemable preferred stock was zero and $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The loss on redemption of redeemable preferred stock was $118.5 million and $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(4)
These adjustments reflect the per share impact of the adjustment reflected within the definition of Adjusted EBITDA above.
(5)
The income tax impact of the adjustments are calculated using a with-and-without approach based on net income before income taxes.
(6)
Represents the difference between net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by adjusted diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding and diluted net income (loss) available to common stockholders per share under GAAP.
(7)
Per-share amounts are calculated independently and may not sum due to rounding.
