Welcome to Option Care Health's 2026 annual stockholders meeting. I will now turn the call over to Collin Smyser, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
Good afternoon. Before we begin our meeting, please note that today's presentation may include certain forward-looking statements that reflect our current assumptions and expectations. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our comments. We encourage you to review the information in our most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and subsequent filings with the SEC regarding these specific risks and uncertainties. We do not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Additionally, to find reconciliations to non-GAAP measures we may use when talking about our business and financial results, please refer to the investor relations portion of our website. Now I would like to welcome the chairman of today's meeting, President and Chief Executive Officer, and a director of Option Care Health, John Rademacher.
Thanks, Collin, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Option Care Health's 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I'd like to begin by thanking my fellow directors who are with us today. Before we begin, I would like to thank Elizabeth Betten and David Golding for their service to Option Care Health and our predecessor company, BioScrip. Over the past decade, Elizabeth and Dave have helped oversee the creation of the nation's largest independent provider of home and alternate site infusion services, providing strategic oversight and a helpful sounding board to the executive leadership team and me. They are leaving the board, and on behalf of my fellow directors, I wish them all the best.
With that, as chairman of the meeting, I hereby call the meeting to order, and will turn it back over to our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Collin Smyser, who will serve as secretary of the meeting and lead us through the agenda.
Thank you, John. We will conduct the business portion of our meeting first, and then John is available to answer any questions at the end. The meeting agenda and rules of conduct are available on the meeting website. Please review these items, and we appreciate your cooperation with the rules of conduct. As a reminder, stockholders attending the virtual meeting can vote their shares online from now through the closing of the polls by logging into the meeting website as a stockholder and clicking the voting button at the bottom of the screen. If you have previously voted by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, your vote will be cast as you previously instructed and no further action is required.
If you are logged into the meeting website as a stockholder, you may submit questions by clicking the Q&A button at the bottom of your screen and typing them in the field labeled Submit a Question. If asking a question, please include your name and affiliation to the company. To ensure that we receive your questions before the Q&A session, we encourage you to submit your questions now. Though we may not be able to answer every question, we will do our best to provide a response to as many as possible. To allow us to answer questions from as many stockholders as possible, each stockholder is limited to a total of one question, and we reserve the right to edit questions for length. As required, a list of stockholders entitled to notice of this meeting is available on the meeting website.
The Inspector of Election, Charlie Zaid from American Election Services, is attending the meeting today and has previously taken the oath as Inspector of Election at this meeting. He has informed us that a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at this meeting are represented by proxy, and therefore we have a quorum. I therefore declare this meeting to be duly convened for purposes of transacting such business as may properly come before it in accordance with state law and our bylaws. The polls are open for voting, and we will now proceed with the formal business of the meeting. Because we did not receive notice of any additional matters to be considered beyond those in our proxy statement, no other proposals or nominations may be introduced at this meeting. We will begin with our first agenda item, which is the election of directors.
I place before the meeting to serve as directors for the coming year the nine individuals whose backgrounds and qualifications are described in more detail in our proxy statement. Our board recommends a vote for each nominee. The second item is the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026, which I now place before the meeting. Paul Fayad and Derek Landish are present today representing KPMG and will be available to answer any questions during the question and answer session of the meeting. Our board recommends a vote for the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. The third agenda item is the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers identified in our proxy statement, which I now place before the meeting.
Our board recommends a vote for the advisory resolution to approve executive compensation. We will now open the floor to specifically address questions submitted prior to and during this meeting about the business of the meeting and the proposals we just reviewed. Only questions submitted prior to and during this meeting about the business of the meeting and the proposals we just reviewed will now be taken. We will reserve additional time at the end of the meeting to answer questions about Option Care Health itself. We have not received any questions regarding the proposals we have just reviewed. Therefore, that concludes the presentation of the items of business that you've been asked to vote on at today's meeting. We will leave the polls open for a few more moments. Now that everyone has had the chance to vote, I declare the polls closed.
I have received the preliminary voting results from the Inspector of Election. The preliminary voting results show that all director nominees have been duly elected. The appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 has been ratified by the affirmative vote of more than 99% of the votes cast, and the advisory vote on executive compensation has been approved by the affirmative vote of more than 97% of the votes cast. These results are preliminary. We will report the final vote results in a Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC. Now I will turn it back over to John.
Thank you, Collin. There being no further business to come before the meeting, the formal business portion of the annual meeting is adjourned. In 2025, our more than 8,000 team members, including 5,000 clinicians, served over 315,000 unique patients across all 50 states while advancing our mission to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care. Notwithstanding challenging conditions in the healthcare industry, we can continue to deliver solid financial results in 2025, including 13% revenue growth and 6% adjusted EBITDA growth. Our company provides high-quality services to complex patients in a site of care where they are most comfortable. This supports improved patient outcomes and satisfaction while helping to reduce the total cost of care. While our performance in the first quarter of 2026 was mixed, we are taking decisive actions to address the challenges we face.
I've never felt stronger about the need for companies like ours to help solve the problems the healthcare system faces, and I remain enthusiastic about the potential for this business to drive value for our stockholders and other stakeholders. We'll now address the general questions. Collin will read any questions that have been received. Collin?
John, I am showing no questions in the queue.
That concludes our question and answer session. Thank you for your time and attendance today, and thank you for your valuable support of Option Care Health.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today's meeting. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
