For investors, while the revenue growth is promising, the persistent net losses and declining margins temper the overall positive outlook. The ability to achieve profitability while maintaining revenue growth will be important in the coming quarters.
Capitated Risk Contracts: TOI's successful integration of its first capitated risk contract and the launch of an MSO model in Florida are pivotal. Capitated contracts involve receiving a lump sum per patient regardless of the number of services provided, which can incentivize cost-effective care. The expansion in Florida and new partnerships indicate potential for scalability and market penetration.
Strategic Partnerships: The partnership with MaxHealth to assume clinical and financial responsibility in five Florida counties is a strategic move. It not only diversifies their revenue streams but also aligns with the industry's shift towards value-based care. This approach can improve patient outcomes and potentially lower healthcare costs, beneficial for long-term sustainability.
Growth in Value-Based Contracts: Signing seven new value-based contracts across three states, the highest in a quarter, demonstrates TOI's growing footprint and acceptance in new markets. It reflects the company's capability to expand its model effectively and could lead to substantial future revenue growth.
Overall, TOI's operational moves indicate a strong strategic direction in value-based care, which is gaining traction in the healthcare industry. These initiatives could drive significant market expansion and operational efficiency over time.

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

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.

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.
