Management Commentary

Daniel Virnich, CEO of TOI, commented, "We are pleased to report strong results for the third quarter of 2024, which reflect our continued focus on growth, operational efficiency, and delivering value to our customers and shareholders. During this period, we continued to break monthly fill records for our oral drug revenue. We recorded a revenue increase of 21.8% compared to prior year quarter, while further reducing SG&A. Our performance underscores the effectiveness of our strategy and the commitment of our team, particularly as we navigate a dynamic environment."

Third Quarter 2024 Results (for the three months ended September 30, 2024)

Consolidated revenue for Q3 2024 was $99.9 million, an increase of 21.8% compared to Q3 2023, and a 1.3% increase compared to Q2 2024.

Revenue for patient services was $49.8 million, down 7.2% compared to Q3 2023. Dispensary revenue increased 79.9% compared to Q3 2023 primarily due to an increase in the number of filled prescriptions for our California pharmacy. Clinical trials & other revenue increased by 20.5% compared to Q3 2023 primarily due to an increase in California Proposition 56 revenue and TOI Clinical Research revenue.

Gross profit in Q3 2024 was $14.4 million, a decrease of 10.1% compared to Q3 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by ongoing cost management fluctuations and DIR fee run out 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 Q3 2024 were $26.6 million or 26.7% of revenue, compared with $28.2 million, or 34.4% of revenue, in Q3 2023. During Q3 2024, share-based compensation expense was $2.4 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses was due to a re-alignment and negotiations with our vendors and a decrease in share-based compensation expense of approximately $2.3 million compared to the same quarter prior year.

Net loss for Q3 2024 was $16.1 million, a decrease of $1.3 million compared to Q3 2023 primarily due to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $20 thousand resulting in a gain in Q3 2024 as compared to $1.5 million loss in Q3 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(8.2) million, a decrease of $2.9 million compared to Q3 2023, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit.

Nine Months ended 2024 Results (for the nine months ended September 30, 2024)

Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $293.1 million, an increase of 22.9% compared to the same period prior year.

Revenue for patient services in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $154.7 million, down 1.7% compared to the same period prior year. Dispensary revenue increased 73.6% compared to the same period prior year due to an increase in the number of filled prescriptions related to our California pharmacy. Clinical trials & other revenue increased by 25.8% compared to the same period prior year primarily due to an increase in California Proposition 56 revenue and TOI Clinical Research revenue.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $39.4 million, a decrease of 12.9% compared to the same period prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by ongoing cost management fluctuations. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting direct costs of patient services, dispensary, and clinical trials and other from consolidated revenues.

SG&A expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $83.0 million or 28.3% of revenue, compared with $85.8 million or 36.0% of revenue, for the same period prior year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, share-based compensation expense was $9.9 million compared to $13.7 million for the same period of 2023.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $51.5 million, a decrease of $12.8 million compared to the same period prior year, primarily due to a $16.9 million goodwill impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that did not occur in the same period of 2024, partially offset by the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(27.8) million, a decrease of $8.2 million compared to the same period prior year, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit.

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.
