First Quarter 2024 Results

Management Commentary

Daniel Virnich, CEO of TOI, commented, "I am very pleased with our performance in the first quarter of 2024, as we delivered strong growth in revenue, while further reducing SG&A. Our full-risk capitated contract in South Florida is a significant milestone for TOI and we are excited to prove our model through this partnership. Our demonstrated ability to concurrently grow top line through both new value-based partnerships and expansion of our oral specialty drug business lays the groundwork for continued success in 2024 and beyond."

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2024

TOI uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, as an additional tool to assess its operational performance. See "Financial Information: Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Regulation S-K, TOI is not reasonably able to provide a quantitative reconciliation for forward-looking information of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable efforts due to uncertainties regarding taxes, share-based compensation, goodwill impairment charges, change in fair value of liabilities, unrealized (gains) losses on investments, practice acquisition-related costs, consulting and legal fees, transaction costs and other non-cash items. The variability of these items could have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on TOI’s future GAAP financial results. TOI expects interest expense in the range of $4 million to $5 million, other adjustment add backs in the range of $2 million to $4 million, and depreciation and amortization in the range of $4 million to $6 million. Consequently TOI reaffirms its full year 2024 guidance as follows:

2024 Guidance
Revenue $400 to $415 million
Gross Profit $68 to $79 million
Adjusted EBITDA $(8) to $(18) million
   

TOI's achievement of the anticipated results is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The outlook does not take into account the impact of any unanticipated developments in the business or changes in the operating environment, nor does it take into account the impact of TOI's acquisitions, dispositions or financings. TOI's outlook assumes a largely reopened global market, which would be negatively impacted if closures or other restrictive measures persist or are reimplemented.

First Quarter 2024 Results

Consolidated revenue for Q1 2024 was $95 million, an increase of 24.2% compared to Q1 2023, and a 10.3% increase compared to Q4 2023.

Revenue for patient services was $52 million, up 4.3% compared to Q1 2023. Growth in patient services revenue was driven by an increase in capitated contracts entered into during 2023 and 2024 as well as growth in fee-for-service ("FFS") revenue due to practice acquisitions and an overall increase in clinic count. Dispensary revenue increased 63.7% compared to Q1 2023 due to an increase in the number of filled prescriptions, offset by a slight decrease in the average revenue per filled prescription. Clinical trials & other revenue increased by 50.9% compared to Q1 2023 primarily due to an increase in California Proposition 56 revenue and TOI Clinical Research revenue.

Gross profit in Q1 2024 was $12 million, a decrease of 15.1% compared to Q1 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by ongoing cost management fluctuations of oral and IV drugs. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting direct costs of patient services, dispensary, and clinical trials and other from consolidated revenues.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in Q1 2024 were $28 million or 30.1% of revenue, compared with $29 million, or 37.8% of revenue, in Q1 2023. During Q1 2024, share-based compensation expense was $4 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses was due to a re-alignment of our vendors.

Net loss for Q1 2024 was $19.9 million, an increase of $10.1 million in income compared to Q1 2023 primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $16.9 million in Q1 2023 that did not occur in Q1 2024, offset by a $4.2 million decrease in the change in fair value of earnout and derivative liabilities in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(10.9) million, a decrease of $3.6 million compared to Q1 2023, primarily as a result of a change in the fair value of earnout and derivative liabilities and goodwill impairment charges in Q1 2023 that did not occur in the same quarter of the current year.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). TOI’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release in conjunction with TOI’s financial statements and the related notes thereto.

TOI believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to assess operational performance and results of our performance to plan and forecast future periods, and factors and trends in, and in comparing our financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in TOI's financial statements.

TOI defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income plus depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes, non-cash items, share-based compensation, goodwill impairment charges, change in fair value of liabilities, unrealized gains or losses on investments and other adjustments to add-back the following: consulting and legal fees related to acquisitions, one-time consulting and legal fees related to certain advisory projects, software implementations and debt or equity financings, severance expense and temporary labor and recruiting charges to build out our corporate infrastructure. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP metric, is set forth below.
