The Oncology Institute Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Reaffirms Full Year 2025 Guidance

Yahoo14-05-2025

CERRITOS, Calif., May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Oncology Institute, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOI) ('TOI' or the 'Company'), one of the largest value-based community oncology groups in the United States, today reported financial results for its three months ended March 31, 2025.
Recent Operational Highlights
Retail Pharmacy and Dispensary set fill records, contributing $49.3 million revenue and over $9 million in gross profit in Q1. The Pharmacy and Dispensary segment grew over 20% in the first quarter of 2025 vs. prior year
Fee-for-service growth of 9% in Q1 2025 over Q4 2024, highlighting the impact of our investments in referral relationship management and call center expansion.
Strong start to 2025 with multiple capitated contract wins, adding over 100,000 lives, which will ramp in the first and second quarters of 2025 on four agreements across the Florida, California and Nevada markets
Started first fully-delegated capitation agreement with a major health plan in Florida on March 1 with delegation for Utilization Management and Claims and Network
Signed a new capitation contract in Nevada during the first quarter, which adds over 80,000 Medicaid lives to Clark County with an effective date of July 1
Started a contract with a new California-based IPA within a geography where TOI has a strong presence
Won sole source designation for a major captive provider group within an existing region where TOI was previously dual-sourced with another oncology provider, a contract that will start in the second quarter
First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights
Consolidated revenue of $104.4 million, an increase of 10.3% from $94.7 million compared to the prior year quarter
Gross profit of $17.2 million, an increase of 44.1% compared to the prior year quarter
Net loss of $19.6 million compared to net loss of $19.9 million for the prior year quarter. The positive change in loss from operations from prior year same quarter was offset primarily by non-cash charges related to interest expense and the fair value of derivative liabilities
Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share of $(0.21) compared to $(0.22) for the prior year quarter
Adjusted EBITDA of $(5.1) million compared to $(10.9) million for the prior year quarter
Cash and cash equivalents of $39.7 million as of March 31, 2025
Successfully closed on a private placement that resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $16.5 million and contributed to our working capital and liquidity to fund TOI's ongoing growth
Entered into an exchange agreement, whereby approximately $4.1 million aggregate principal amount of our senior secured convertible notes were exchanged for common-equivalent preferred stock and common warrants
Management Commentary
Daniel Virnich, CEO of TOI, commented, "We are pleased to report a strong start to 2025, driven by disciplined operational management, increased efficiencies, and strategic market expansion. We are executing against a near-term path to sustained cash flow positivity and profitability in the second half of 2025. We believe our growth momentum positions TOI for full year profitability in 2026, supported by continued strength in value-based contract wins, organic FFS growth, and pharmacy expansion. We see continued acceleration in our near-term capitation pipeline, with anticipated new capitation contracts in the first half of 2025 projected to add approximately $50 million in new revenue on an annualized basis, with line of sight to an additional 100,000 lives in the second half of the year."
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2025
TOI uses Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash flow, each a non-GAAP metric, as an additional tool to assess its operational and financial 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 and Free Cash Flow to net (loss) income and net cash provided by operations, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, without unreasonable efforts due to uncertainties regarding taxes, capital expenditures, operating activities, 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. Consequently TOI reaffirms its full year 2025 guidance:
2025 Guidance
Revenue
$460 to $480 million
Gross Profit
$73 to $82 million
Adjusted EBITDA
$(8) to $(17) million
Free Cash Flow
$(12) to $(21) million
The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $(4) to $(5) million in the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to stabilization of our contracts and initial lower encounter volumes. 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 2025 Results
Consolidated revenue for Q1 2025 was $104.4 million, an increase of 10.3% compared to Q1 2024.
Revenue for patient services was $53.1 million, up 1.2% compared to Q1 2024. Notably, we also saw our fee for service business return to growth during the first quarter, increasing 2.3% to $35.6 million in Q1 2025 versus the prior year period. We are encouraged by the positive patient and referral feedback on TOI's services, and our strong track record for high quality care combined with our value-oriented model gives us confidence in our continued FFS growth driven by patient choice and health system and community providers' patient referrals. Dispensary revenue increased 24.2% compared to Q1 2024 due to continued growth in the attachment of prescriptions to our patient visits.
Gross profit in Q1 2025 was $17.2 million, an increase of 44.1% compared to Q1 2024. The increase is attributed to improvement in revenue and margin in both Capitation and Fee For Service within Patient Services, as well as improvement in both revenue and margin in TOI's Dispensary segment. Margin improvement in the first quarter for both Patient Services and Dispensary businesses is primarily related to the contribution of our dispensary segment and the recognition of a one-time rebate recognized over the past two quarters related to the renewal of a three-year contract with TOI's primary drug supplier that is not expected to recur in future quarters, although we do expect the benefit of drug price increases to improve over the course of 2025. 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 2025 were $25.4 million or 24.3% of revenue, compared with $28.5 million, or 30.1% of revenue, in Q1 2024. The decrease in SG&A expenses was due to our cost discipline and operational efficiency.
Net loss for Q1 2025 was $19.6 million, an increase of $303 thousand in income compared to Q1 2024. The decrease in loss from operations from the prior year quarter was offset primarily by the increase in non-cash interest expense (write down related to the partial prepayment of convertible note) and the change in the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability (non-cash).
Adjusted EBITDA was $(5.1) million, an increase of $5.8 million compared to Q1 2024.
Net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities was $(5.0) million for Q1 2025. Free Cash Flow was $(4.0) million, compared to $(15.4) million in Q1 2024.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding projections, anticipated financial results, estimates and forecasts of revenue and other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and expectations. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of TOI and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by anyone as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of TOI. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the accuracy of the assumptions underlying the 2025 full fiscal year outlook and the Q2 2025 outlook with respect to Adjusted EBITDA discussed herein, the outcome of judicial and administrative proceedings to which TOI may become a party or investigations to which TOI may become or is subject that could interrupt or limit TOI's operations, result in adverse judgments, settlements or fines and create negative publicity; changes in TOI's patient or payors' preferences, prospects and the competitive conditions prevailing in the healthcare sector; failure to continue to meet stock exchange listing standards; the impact of COVID-19 on TOI's business; those factors discussed in the documents of TOI filed, or to be filed, with the SEC, including the Item 1A. "Risk Factors" section of TOI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025 and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, 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 Free Cash Flow provides an additional tool to assess the Company's financial performance, evaluate its ability to generate cash from operations, and plan for future investments and obligations. Free Cash Flow is useful in understanding the cash available for strategic initiatives. It also helps in comparing TOI's financial performance with other similar companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to provide insights into their cash generation capabilities. However, the principal limitation of Free Cash Flow is that it does not account for certain cash outflows or inflows that are required by GAAP to be recorded in TOI's financial statements. TOI defines Free Cash Flow as net cash flow provided by (used in) operations plus cash paid for interest, less capital expenditures.
TOI believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to assess operational 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 and Free Cash Flow to net cash flow used in operations, the most comparable GAAP metrics, is set forth below:

Oakland yoga studio part of rise in inclusive, nonbinary-owned businesses

In the heart of Oakland, there is a yoga studio where flexibility means more than just touching your toes — It's a way of life. Marlo Miller — who uses she/they pronouns — is the owner of Banana Yoga, a place where people like her can do something rare these days: breathe. "I think it happened organically. I, myself, am nonbinary, and they say your vibe attracts your tribe, and I just wanted to have those folks close to me," said Miller. Most of the instructors and clientele at Banana Yoga identify as gender expansive — an umbrella term for those who don't fit neatly into the male or female box. One of them is Deanalis Resto, a student whose pronouns are they, he, and she. "I know that I can be me here," Resto said. And they're not alone. A 2022 Pew Research study found that 5.1% of U.S. adults under 30 say their gender differs from their sex assigned at birth. From gender-neutral fashion to nonbinary salons and yoga studios, what was once overlooked is fast becoming a market with momentum. Rex Wilde, a transgender nonbinary consultant, said business is booming. "We're only going to be seeing more small businesses that open up specifically catering to this market," Wilde said, noting that since 2021, the number of certified transgender and nonbinary-owned businesses has more than doubled. For Miller, the value of places like Banana Yoga goes far beyond the bottom line. "If we focus on members of our community who need the most help, everyone else will benefit," she said.

Jetstar Asia closure: Some customers confused, frustrated by poor communication; Taiwan earthquake: 5.9-magnitude offshore quake rattles Taiwan: Singapore live news

The Jetstar Asia closure has left some customers confused and frustrated over conflicting information, or a lack thereof. The Singapore-based airlines, operated by Qantas Group, announced on Wednesday (11 June) morning that it would be ceasing operations from 31 July.

For a customer identified as Daniel, he told CNA that he didn't realise the schedule would be "progressively reduced" prior to its closure. Hence, he thought his two planned trips in July – one to Bangkok, another to Okinawa - would not be affected. On Wednesday morning, though, he received an email confirming that his trip to Bangkok was cancelled, so he made plans to book another flight. Daniel said the email also included his "specific booking reference". Yet, when his friend called the Jetstar Asia's hotline, they were told the flight was still going ahead as planned. He now feels uncertain about his flight to Okinawa and it's not clear which flights would be cut from Jetstar Asia's schedule before it closes. 'I'm wondering, when would they tell me about it? Or how late would they tell me about it?' For more on how customers are affected by the Jetstar Asia closure, read here.
