CERRITOS, Calif., May 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Oncology Institute, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOI), one of the largest value-based community oncology groups in the United States, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March31, 2022.

"We are pleased with the results we achieved in Q1 2022, driven by our expansion in new markets and continued investment in a value-based approach to oncology. Our financial results reflected strong growth, with Q1 2022 revenue of $55 million, growing 14% compared to Q1 2021. We were thrilled to announce three new value-based partnerships in Q1 2022, one of which is with a new partner, MaxHealth in the Tampa and St. Petersburg markets, which has great potential for growth in the future, said Brad Hively, CEO of TOI. We also launched our 11th market in Polk County, Florida and opened a new clinic in Culver City, California as we continue to solidify our position in the Los Angeles market. We also recently announced our acquisition of Womens Cancer Care in Fresno, which will be our 12th market. We continue to strengthen our M&A pipeline which is expected to lead to positive growth throughout the rest of 2022. We are optimistic about the year ahead and continue to see strong partnership demand for our innovative model of oncology care."

First Quarter 2022 Operational Highlights

Initiated three new value-based partnerships, including our third gain share contract in Florida with MaxHealthHired five new clinicians, ending the period with 84 clinicians, representing a 24% growth compared to Q1 2021Commenced expansion of our radiation oncology site in Long Beach, California, added a new Radiation Oncology Medical Director and expanded our payor contractsOpened two new de novo clinics in Culver City, California and Polk County, Florida

First Quarter 2022 Results

Consolidated revenue for Q1 2022 was $55 million, a 13.5% increase compared to Q1 2021.

Revenue for the Patient Services segment was $35 million, up 18.3% compared to Q1 2021. Growth in Patient Services was driven by an increase in capitated contracts entered into in the latter half of 2021 as well as growth in FFS revenue due to practice acquisitions in Q4 2021 and an overall increase in clinic count. Dispensary revenue growth lagged the growth in Patient Services largely due to the Medical Rx transition. Despite the Medical Rx transition, dispensary revenue increased 6.0% compared to Q1 2021 due to an increase in the average revenue per script fill. Clinical Trials & Other revenue increased by 6.3% year-over-year due to an increase in clinical trials volumes.

Gross profit in Q1 2022 was $12 million, an increase of 20.8% compared to Q1 2021. The increase was driven by improved cost management of our oral and IV drugs and enhanced rebate opportunities.

SG&A expenses in Q1 2022 were $30 million or 54.0% of revenue, compared with $11 million, or 23.0% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. During Q1 2022, share-based compensation expense was $9 million and SG&A related to transaction costs was $1 million. The remainder of the SG&A growth was due to headcount and other costs associated with operating as a public company and to support revenue growth.

Net income for Q1 2022 was $19 million, increasing $20 million over the same quarter last year primarily due to the change in the fair value of the earnout liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA was $(5) million, a decrease of $5 million compared to Q1 2021, primarily as a result of our growth in SG&A as we prepare for expansion into new markets, as well as SG&A expenses necessary for TOI to operate as a public company.

2022 Outlook

Results for the first quarter of 2022 came in as expected and our outlook for 2022 remains unchanged.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric. See "Financial Information: Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. TOI is not reasonably able to provide a reconciliation to net (loss) income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, which cannot be done without unreasonable efforts, including uncertainties regarding taxes, share-based compensation and other non-cash items. TOI expects interest expense in the range of $0.5 million and $1 million, other adjustment add backs in the range of $4 million and $6 million and depreciation and amortization in the range of $4 million and $6 million. TOI is not adding back new clinic startup or acquisition cost for this non-GAAP metric. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's fiscal 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance is merely an outlook and is not a guarantee of future performance. Stockholders should not rely or place an undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below for additional information.

(2) Represents lives under capitation and gain sharing contracts. Our achievement of the anticipated results is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed in our filings with the SEC. 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 our acquisitions, dispositions or financings during 2022. Our outlook assumes a largely reopened global market, which would be negatively impacted if closures or other restrictive measures persist or are reimplemented.

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 believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to assess operational performance and trends in, and in comparing our financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. TOIs 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. 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. 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 TOIs financial statements and the related notes thereto.

TOI defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income plus depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes, non-cash items, share-based comp and other adjustments to add-back the following: board fees, 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 temp 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.

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2022, non-cash addbacks were primarily comprised of bad debt write-offs of $154, non-cash rent of $29 and other miscellaneous charges of $14. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, non-cash addbacks were primarily comprised of a $13 tenant improvement allowance.

(2) Practice acquisition-related costs were comprised of consulting and legal fees incurred to perform due diligence, execute, and integrate acquisitions of various oncology practices.

(3) Consulting and legal fees were comprised of a subset of the Companys total consulting and legal fees during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and related to certain advisory projects, software implementations, and legal fees for debt financing and predecessor litigation matters.

(4) Other, net is comprised of severance expenses resulting from cost rationalization programs of $18 and $0, as well as temporary labor of $485 and $223, recruiting expenses to build out corporate infrastructure of $424 and $155 and other miscellaneous charges of $26 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 such expenses were partially offset by $0 and $1,023, respectively, of stimulus funds received under the CARES Act.

(1) Includes independent oncology practices to which we provide limited management services, but do not bear the operating costs.
