Moody’s Ratings has affirmed AdaptHealth’s Ba3 Corporate Family Rating, revising its outlook from stable to positive, reflecting the company’s improved operating performance and potential for a ratings upgrade.

Additionally, Moody’s predicts that AdaptHealth will reduce its leverage ratio to around 2.5x over the next 12 to 18 months, aided by improved free cash flow generation following a recent debt repayment. The company’s liquidity remains strong, with approximately $110 million in cash and an anticipated free cash flow of around $200 million in 2025.
