Management Commentary

Brad Hively, CEO of TOI commented, “We had a strong second quarter, driven by continued growth in our legacy markets as well as expansion into new markets. In the second quarter of 2022, we increased our revenue 22.2% over the prior year, and 10.4% sequentially compared to Q1 2022. We continue to see significant interest from providers to join TOI’s value-based oncology care model which reinforces our confidence in our growth trajectory. In May, we successfully completed the acquisition of Women's Cancer Care which expanded our footprint north into Fresno, California. We also expanded into our 13th market with a de novo clinic in Austin, Texas."

"I am also excited to announce that we completed a $110 million strategic investment from Deerfield Management Company, L.P. through secured senior convertible notes. The convertible notes bear interest at 4% per annum and mature on August 9, 2027 and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The notes have an initial conversion price of $8.567 representing an approximate premium of 30% over the closing price of TOI’s Common Stock on August 8, 2022. This investment will provide TOI with sufficient growth capital to continue our expansion into new markets with our differentiated value-based approach to oncology. This represents a significant milestone in our journey to disrupt the more than $200 billion U.S. oncology market, and we remain highly optimistic about our future."

Reaffirming 2022 Outlook

Our outlook for 2022 remains unchanged.

2022 Guidance
Revenue$270 to $310 million, representing approximately 33% to 53% growth over 2021 revenue
Gross Profit$50 to $60 million
Adjusted EBITDA(1)$(20) to $(25) million
Value-based lives(2)1.75 million to 2.0 million lives, representing approximately 9% to 25% growth over year-end 2021 lives

(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.

Second Quarter 2022 Results

Consolidated revenue for Q2 2022 was $61 million, a 22.2% increase compared to Q2 2021, and a 10.4% increase compared to Q1 2022.

Revenue for the Patient Services segment was $39 million, up 31.3% compared to Q2 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 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 13.7% compared to Q2 2021 due to an increase in the average revenue per script fill. Clinical Trials & Other revenue decreased by 30.0% from the prior year quarter due to a decline in miscellaneous contract revenue.

Gross profit in Q2 2022 was $11 million, an increase of 2.3% compared to Q2 2021. The increase was driven by improved cost management of our oral and IV drugs and enhanced rebate opportunities.

SG&A expenses in Q2 2022 were $28 million or 46.5% of revenue, compared with $11 million, or 22.5% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. During Q2 2022, share-based compensation expense was $7 million and SG&A related to transaction costs was $750 thousand. 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 loss for Q2 2022 was $5 million, decreasing $9 million over the same quarter last year primarily due to increased operating expenses, offset by the change in fair value of the warrant and earnout liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA was $(7) million, a decrease of $7 million compared to Q2 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.

Year to Date 2022 Results

Consolidated revenue for 2022 was $116 million, a 17.9% increase over the prior year.

Revenue for the Patient Services segment was $74 million, up 24.8% compared to 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 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 9.9% compared to 2021 due to an increase in the average revenue per script fill. Clinical Trials & Other revenue decreased by 16.5% from the prior year due to a decline in miscellaneous contract revenue.

Gross profit in 2022 was $23 million, an increase of 11.2% compared to 2021. The increase was driven by improved cost management of our oral and IV drugs and enhanced rebate opportunities.

SG&A expenses in 2022 were $58 million or 50.1% of revenue, compared with $22 million, or 22.7% of revenue, in 2021. During 2022, share-based compensation expense was $15 million and SG&A related to transaction costs was $2 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 2022 was $14 million, increasing $12 million year over year primarily due to the increase in gross profit and the change in the fair value of the warrant and earnout liabilities, offset by increased operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA was $(12) million, a decrease of $12 million compared to 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.

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. 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. 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 TOI’s 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.
