Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

This discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions, that are based on the beliefs of our management. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Guardian,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” when used in this report mean Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. and all subsidiaries included in our consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are a leading, highly differentiated pharmacy services company that provides an extensive suite of technology-enabled services designed to help residents of long-term health care facilities (“LTCFs”) adhere to their appropriate drug regimen, which in turn helps reduce the cost of care and improve clinical outcomes. We enter into contracts directly with LTCFs to serve as the principal pharmacy provider for their residents. In this capacity, we offer high-touch, individualized clinical, drug dispensing and administration capabilities that are tailored to serve the needs of residents in historically lower acuity LTCFs, such as assisted living facilities (“ALFs”) and behavioral health facilities (“BHFs”). Additionally, our robust capabilities enable us to serve residents in all types of LTCFs. Our services include prescription intake and adjudication management, packaging drugs into unit dose and/or multi-dose compliance packaging that are organized by date and time of administration, and electronically tracking each drug from delivery through administration to LTCF residents. We also offer training to caregivers and conduct mock audits to ensure compliance with pharmacy administration requirements, billing claims processing, government regulation and other matters. As of June 30, 2026, our 61 pharmacies, 54 of which are full-service, served approximately 210,000 residents in approximately 8,400 LTCFs across 39 states.

While our national competitors have primarily focused on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), we believe we enjoy a strong competitive position as a large and purpose-built provider of pharmacy services to ALFs and BHFs. More than two-thirds of our annual revenue for each of the past three years has been generated from residents of ALFs and BHFs, while the remainder has been generated primarily from residents of SNFs. LTCF industry trends, including aging demographics, increases in the number of assisted living residents, improving life expectancies and enhanced quality of care, have resulted in ALF and BHF resident populations that require assistance with their increasingly acute and complex healthcare needs. Through our value-added capabilities and local management model, we have been able to pass on to residents, LTCFs and health plan payors the benefits of our scale without compromising on the high-touch, localized customer service traditionally associated with an independent pharmacy. For this reason, we are well positioned to continue to serve ALFs and BHFs, which we believe to be the most attractive and highest growth sector of the LTCF market.

Our core growth strategy focuses on increasing the number of residents we serve through a combination of organic and acquired growth. Acquired growth represents growth in the number of residents served resulting from acquiring an operating pharmacy, which we measure using the number of residents served by the acquired pharmacy as of the acquisition date. Organic growth represents the increase in the number of residents served at existing pharmacies, our greenfield pharmacies, and acquired pharmacies subsequent to the acquisition date. We have generated organic growth through new and expanded LTCF relationships as well as increased resident adoption of our services in the facilities we already serve.

Conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock

In accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, 13,527,437 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted, in accordance with the terms of such class and without any further action by their holders or the Company, into an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Follow-On Offering

In March 2026, the Company completed an underwritten follow-on public offering (the “Q1 2026 Offering”) of 1,020,000 shares of Class A common stock at an offering price of $31.00 per share. We used all of the proceeds, net of underwriting discounts of $1,344 from the Q1 2026 Offering to purchase 1,020,000 shares of outstanding Class A common stock that were issued upon conversion of shares of our Class B common stock that were originally issued in connection with our Corporate Reorganization. The 1,020,000 shares of Class A common stock purchased by the Company were retired, resulting in no change to the total number of Class A common stock outstanding. We did not retain any of the proceeds from the sale of shares in the offering.

As part of the Q1 2026 Offering, certain selling stockholders, consisting of the Company’s founders, also sold 5,880,000 shares of Class A common stock. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders in this offering.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the corresponding periods in 2025 have been affected by the following, among other factors, which must be understood to assess the comparability of our period-to-period financial performance and condition.

Acquisitions

Our growth strategy involves periodically acquiring institutional pharmacies servicing LTCFs and their residents as well as residents in other care settings. Our strategy includes the acquisition of freestanding institutional pharmacy businesses as well as other assets, generally less significant in size, which are combined with our existing pharmacy operations to augment internal organic growth.

Table of Contents

During 2025, we completed acquisitions of various pharmacy operations (the “2025 Acquisitions”). The operating results of the 2025 Acquisitions were a contributing factor in certain changes in the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. Acquisition impacts are considered when the beginning of the comparative period precedes the acquisition date.

Inflation Reduction Act

In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”), which, among other provisions, introduced significant drug pricing reforms aimed to reduce federal government and beneficiary spending for Medicare Part B and Part D drugs. Key provisions in this legislation include limited authority for regulators to negotiate prices for certain Medicare drugs, caps on beneficiary cost share and maximum out-of-pocket spending, and rebates on manufacturers where drug prices exceed inflation. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released initial guidance related to the implementation of this program, and has since entered three rounds of the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. In January 2026, the initial ten Part D drugs that were part of IRA negotiations had their negotiated prices go into effect. The reduction in prices to the IRA-impacted drugs affect the comparability of results, specifically for revenue and cost of goods sold, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, which include the impact of the IRA, when compared against the results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which do not include the impact of the IRA. We expect IRA-related price reductions to continue impacting year-over-year comparability throughout the remainder of 2026.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues. We recognize revenue at the time of delivery of prescriptions and other pharmacy services to the LTCF, at which time control has been transferred. Revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these goods and services.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of expenses associated with the fulfillment and delivery of the prescription, including prescription drug acquisition costs. Cost of goods sold also includes associated pharmacy personnel-related expenses, including salaries and benefits, delivery charges and other supporting overhead costs (such as rent and depreciation and amortization of assets used in the fulfillment and delivery of the prescription).

Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, salaries and benefits, for our employees at the pharmacies and support services engaged in other pharmacy related activities including sales and marketing, finance, legal, human resources, purchasing and other administrative functions. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also include facilities-related expenses, software expenses, sales and marketing expenses, insurance premiums, professional services expenses, including for outside legal and accounting services, other overhead costs, changes in the fair value of contingent payments related to acquisitions, depreciation related to long lived assets, and amortization of intangible assets.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest on finance leases.

Other expense (income), net. Other expense (income), net consists primarily of gain (loss) on asset disposals, interest income earned on cash deposits, and certain legal settlements.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2026

The following table sets forth our consolidated statements of operations data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The year-over-year comparison of results of operations is not necessarily indicative of results for future periods.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary.” When reviewing the discussion below, you should keep in mind the substantial risks and uncertainties that characterize our business. Known material factors that could affect our financial performance and actual results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this discussion or otherwise made by our management, are described in “Risk Factors.” Factors that could cause or contribute to such difference are not limited to those identified in “Risk Factors.”

A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 is presented below. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

We also offer training to caregivers and conduct mock audits to ensure compliance with pharmacy administration requirements, billing claims processing, government regulation and other matters. As of December 31, 2025, our 61 pharmacies, 54 of which are full-service, served approximately 205,000 residents in approximately 8,400 LTCFs across 38 states.

Corporate Reorganization and IPO

On September 27, 2024, the Company consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Class A common stock”). Also on September 27, 2024, the underwriters for the IPO exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 1,200,000 shares of Class A common stock. The 9,200,000 shares were issued at a public offering price of $14.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $119.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts of $9.0 million. In addition to the underwriting discounts, the Company incurred $13.0 million of offering costs, which were recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Prior to the IPO, we conducted our business through Guardian Pharmacy, LLC, and its majority owned and wholly owned limited liability company subsidiaries, which were treated for income tax purposes as partnerships and disregarded entities, respectively. Immediately prior to the IPO, we completed a series of corporate reorganization transactions (the “Corporate Reorganization”), pursuant to which:

The subsidiaries that participated in the Corporate Reorganization are referred to as the \u201cConverted Subsidiaries\u201d, and the subsidiaries that were not parties to the Corporate Reorganization (including those which were formed or acquired subsequent to the Corporate Reorganization) are referred to as the \u201cNon-Converted Subsidiaries\u201d; and"]]

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","\u2022","","Guardian Pharmacy, LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company by participating in a merger with a transitory subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the merger, each Common Unit of Guardian Pharmacy, LLC was converted into (i) one share of the Company\u2019s Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (\u201cClass B common stock\u201d) and (ii) the right to receive $1.02 in cash per share, without interest (collectively, the \u201cMerger Consideration\u201d). In the merger, 54,094,232 shares of Class B common stock were issued in exchange for Common Units of Guardian Pharmacy, LLC. In accordance with the terms of the Company\u2019s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, such issued shares of Class B common stock automatically convert on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A common stock, with 25% of each holder\u2019s shares of Class B common stock converting into shares of Class A common stock on each of the following dates: (i) March 28, 2025; (ii) September 27, 2025; (iii) March 28, 2026; and (iv) September 27, 2026. The Merger Consideration was $55,176 and was paid using the proceeds from the IPO."]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

As a result of the Corporate Reorganization, the Company became a holding company with no material assets other than its 100% interest in Guardian Pharmacy, LLC, and the Converted Subsidiaries became wholly owned subsidiaries of Guardian Pharmacy, LLC. In addition, Guardian Pharmacy, LLC remained the majority owner of each of the Non-Converted Subsidiaries.

The Non-Converted Subsidiaries are (i) greenfield start-up pharmacies in various stages of development and integration with Guardian and do not currently have material operations or (ii) pharmacies that we recently acquired. After a period of time that would typically be sufficient to allow such pharmacies to adopt our operating practices and experience meaningful growth in residents served and earnings, we expect to acquire the minority membership interests of such Non-Converted Subsidiaries.

Conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common stock

In accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the conversion schedule described in the Corporate Reorganization and IPO section above, on March 28, 2025 and September 27, 2025, 13,519,946 and 13,523,285 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted, in accordance with the terms of such class and without any further action by their holders or the Company, into an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Follow-On Offering

In May 2025, the Company completed an underwritten follow-on public offering of 1,440,447 shares of Class A common stock at an offering price of $21.00 per share (the “Q2 2025 Offering”). We used all of the net proceeds from the Q2 2025 Offering to purchase 1,440,447 shares of outstanding Class A common stock that were issued upon conversion of shares of our Class B common stock that were originally issued in connection with our Corporate Reorganization. The 1,440,447 shares of Class A common stock purchased by the Company were cancelled, resulting in no change to the total number of Class A common stock outstanding. We did not retain any of the proceeds from the sale of shares in the offering.

As part of the Q2 2025 Offering, certain selling stockholders, consisting of the Company’s founders (the “Guardian Founders”), sold 7,184,553 shares of Class A common stock. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders in the Q2 2025 Offering.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 have been affected by the following, among other factors, which must be understood to assess the comparability of our period-to-period financial performance and condition.
