Adeptus Health Inc. operates an independent network of free-standing emergency rooms. The Company provides emergency medical care to patients in Texas and Colorado.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the areas of revenue recognition, accounts receivable, accounting for a contribution to an unconsolidated joint venture, and accounting for equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures; (ii) accordingly, the Company lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Adeptus's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On March 2, 2017, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 announcing the delay in the filing of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and revealing additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.
On this news, Adeptus' share price fell $3.76 or 57.4%, to close at $2.79 per share on March 2, 2017.
