(the “Company” or “Modivcare”) (Nasdaq: MODV), a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions focused on improving patient outcomes, today reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2024.

This amendment included the issuance of a $75.0 million incremental term loan facility to support our liquidity.

Full Year 2024 Summary:

• Service revenue of $2,787.6 million, a 1.3% increase as compared to $2,751.2 million in 2023
• Net loss of $201.3 million, or negative $14.14 per diluted common share

“2024 proved to be a challenging year in the dynamic and complex markets we serve,” stated L. Heath Sampson, President and CEO. “The industry faced significant disruption in 2024 from Medicaid redetermination, surging healthcare utilization, and lower Medicare Advantage reimbursements—pressures that created financial strain, disrupted cash flow, and impacted our performance. Service revenue grew approximately 1% year-over-year, driven by increased NEMT ride utilization and growth in personal care, though offset by Medicaid redetermination and contract churn. We ended the year with a $95 million net contract receivable position. As utilization levels stabilize and key clients transition to a fee-for-service contract structure, we expect working capital to normalize in 2025. Looking ahead, we are positioned in 2025, having a strengthened balance sheet, to drive long-term shareholder value—all while maintaining our commitment to high-quality service for our members, customers, and the healthcare system."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company reported revenue of $702.8 million, which was consistent with the $702.8 million in revenue reported in the fourth quarter of 2023. Revenue in our NEMT segment decreased $4.0 million, or 0.8%, revenue in our PCS segment increased by $5.4 million, or 3.0%, and revenue in our Monitoring segment decreased by $1.1 million, or 5.3%, as compared to the corresponding segment performance in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Operating income was $4.3 million, or 0.6% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $15.7 million, or 2.2% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2023. Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $23.5 million, or negative $1.64 per diluted common share, compared to net loss of $5.3 million, or negative $0.37 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 from the fourth quarter of 2023 was driven primarily by an increase in service expense of $12.1 million in addition to an increase in interest expense of $8.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $40.4 million, or 5.7% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $50.5 million, or 7.2% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our adjusted EBITDA was lower in 2024 than in the comparable prior year fourth quarter period due mostly to 10.4% lower gross profit across each of our segments, primarily as a result of higher service expense across each of our segments. Adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $2.7 million or $0.19 per diluted common share, compared to $18.4 million, or $1.29 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2024 was $30.0 million as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $25.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. Changes in operating assets and liabilities during the quarter include a settlement in contract payables of $24.7 million and a decrease in contract receivables of $7.4 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the quarter was $5.3 million, primarily related to investments in technology and purchases of monitoring devices. Net cash provided by financing activities during the quarter was $39.5 million, which resulted in a quarter ended balance on our revolving credit facility of $269.0 million.

Full Year 2024 Results

For the full year 2024, the Company reported revenue of $2,787.6 million, an increase of 1.3% from $2,751.2 million in revenue reported in 2023. Revenue in our NEMT segment increased by $5.8 million, or 0.3%, revenue in our PCS segment increased by $29.7 million, or 4.1%, and revenue in our Monitoring segment decreased by $0.2 million, or 0.3%, as compared to the corresponding segment performance in 2023.

Loss from operations was $92.8 million, or 3.3% of revenue, for 2024, compared to loss from operations of $139.9 million, or 5.1% of revenue, for 2023. Net loss in 2024 was $201.3 million, or negative $14.14 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $204.5 million, or negative $14.43 per common share, in 2023. Both our loss from operations and our net loss in 2024 and 2023 were primarily related to the previously disclosed non-cash goodwill impairment recorded for $105.2 million and $183.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 was $161.1 million or 5.8% of revenue, compared to $204.4 million, or 7.4% of revenue, in 2023. Our Adjusted EBITDA was lower in 2024 primarily due to lower gross margin across each of our segments as a result of increased service expense across each of our segments. Adjusted net income for 2024 was $11.2 million or $0.79 per diluted common share, compared to $79.9 million, or $5.60 per diluted common share, for 2023.

Net cash used in operating activities during the year was $6.4 million as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $83.0 million during 2023. Changes in operating assets and liabilities during the current year include a settlement in contract payables of $94.8 million and collections on contract receivables of $26.2 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the year was $27.6 million, primarily related to investments in technology and purchases of monitoring devices. Net cash provided by financing activities during the year was $144.4 million, which resulted in a year ended balance on our revolving credit facility of $269.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Adjustments

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the information contained herein may include presentations for the Company and its segments (as noted and applicable) of: (1) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted G&A expense, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EPS, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures considered by management to be performance measures; and (2) free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure considered by management to be a liquidity measure. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before: (1) interest expense, net; (2) provision (benefit) for income taxes; and (3) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related costs; (2) transaction and integration costs; (3) settlement related costs; (4) a one-time payor collection settlement; (5) stock-based compensation; (6) impairment of goodwill;, (7) loss on debt extinguishment; and (8) equity in net (income) loss of investee, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenue, net. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is calculated as net income (loss) before (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related costs; (2) transaction and integration costs; (3) settlement related costs; (4) a one-time payor collection settlement; (5) stock-based compensation; (6) impairment of goodwill; (7) loss on debt extinguishment; (8) equity in net (income) loss of investee, net of tax (9) intangible asset amortization expense; and (10) the income tax impact of such adjustments. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as calculated for Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Adjusted G&A expense is calculated as G&A expense before (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related costs; (2) transaction and integration costs; (3) settlement related costs; and (4) stock-based compensation. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operations less our applicable capital expenditures included in our purchase of property and equipment line in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures that are not included in the discussion above are included below. Our non-GAAP performance measures exclude expenses and amounts that are not driven by our core operating results and may be one time in nature. Excluding these expenses makes comparisons with prior periods as well as to other companies in our industry more meaningful. We believe such measures allow investors to gain a better understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing operations of our business. We consider our core operations to be the ongoing activities to provide services from which we earn revenue, including direct operating costs and indirect costs to support these activities. As a result, our net income or loss in equity investee is excluded from these measures, as we do not have the ability to manage the venture, allocate resources within the venture, or directly control its operations or performance. Our free cash flow presentation (as applicable) reflects an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed together with our GAAP results, provides management, investors, and other users of our financial information with a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows. Our use of the term free cash flow is not intended to imply, and no inference should be made, however, that any reported amounts are free to be used without restriction for discretionary expenditures, as our use of these funds may be restricted by the terms of our outstanding indebtedness, including our credit facility, and otherwise earmarked for other non-discretionary expenditures.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
