1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
ModivCare Inc. ("ModivCare" or the "Company") is a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for public and private payors and their patients. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health, or SDoH, enable greater access to care, reduce costs, and improve outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation, or NEMT, personal care, and remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solutions. The technology-enabled operating model includes NEMT core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transport management. Additionally, its personal care services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting, including senior citizens and disabled adults. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring services include personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. ModivCare is further expanding its offerings to include nutritional meal delivery and partner with communities throughout the country, providing food-insecure individuals delivery of nutritional meals.
ModivCare’s solutions help health plans manage risks, close care gaps, reduce costs, and connect members to care. Through the combination of its historical NEMT business, its in-home personal care business that consists of Simplura Health Group and Care Finders Total Care LLC, and its recent addition of the remote patient monitoring business through its acquisition of VRI Intermediate Holdings, LLC, or VRI, ModivCare has united four complementary healthcare businesses that serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations.
On May 6, 2020, ModivCare acquired all of the outstanding equity of National MedTrans, LLC, or NMT, a New York limited liability company and provider of non-emergency medical transportation services under contractual relationships.
On November 18, 2020, ModivCare acquired all of the outstanding equity of OEP AM, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Simplura Health Group, or Simplura, which formed the foundation of our personal care business and Personal Care segment.
On May 6, 2021, ModivCare acquired the WellRyde software from nuVizz, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("nuVizz"), a technology provider of Advanced Transportation Management Systems software enabling routing, automated trip assignments and real-time network monitoring.
On September 14, 2021, ModivCare acquired Care Finders Total Care LLC, or Care Finders, a personal care provider in the Northeast, with a scaled presence in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, as an addition to the Personal Care segment.
On September 22, 2021, ModivCare acquired VRI, a provider of remote patient monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions.
See Note 3, Acquisitions, for further information regarding the above acquisitions.
ModivCare also holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operates under the Matrix Medical Network brand and which we refer to as “Matrix”. Matrix maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services, and a fleet of mobile health clinics that provide community-based care with advanced diagnostic capabilities and enhanced care options. Matrix’s clinical care business ("Clinical Care") provides risk adjustment solutions that improve health outcomes for individuals and financial performance for health plans. Matrix’s clinical solutions business ("Clinical Solutions") provides employee health and wellness services focused on improving employee health with worksite certification solutions that reinforce business resilience and safe return-to-work outcomes. Its Clinical Solutions offerings also provide clinical trial services which support the delivery of safe and effective decentralized clinical trial operations to patients and eligible volunteers. Matrix also provides lab services, including services related to COVID-19 such as screening, testing, and vaccinations.
Basis of Presentation
The Company follows accounting standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these notes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which serves as the single source of authoritative accounting and applicable reporting standards to be applied for non-governmental entities. All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included.
The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and certain disclosures in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 included in this Form 10-Q has been derived from audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Company accounts for its investment in Matrix using the equity method, as the Company does not control the decision-making process or business management practices of Matrix. While the Company has access to certain information and performs certain procedures to review the reasonableness of information, the Company relies on the management of Matrix to provide accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company receives audit reports relating to such financial information from Matrix’s independent auditors on an annual basis. The Company is not aware of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by Matrix that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 7, Equity Investment, for further information.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Company’s business, as well as its patients, communities, and employees. The Company’s priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic remain protecting the health and safety of its employees, maximizing the availability of its services and products to support the SDoH, and the operational and financial stability of its business.
Federal, state, and local authorities have taken several actions designed to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients and to mitigate the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Legislative actions taken by the federal government include the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Through the CARES Act, the federal government has authorized payments to be distributed to healthcare providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("Provider Relief Fund" or "PRF").
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingencies, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Grant Income
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received distributions from the CARES Act PRF of approximately $3.5 million targeted to offset lost revenue and expenditures incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Company did not receive distributions from the CARES Act PRF. The PRF payments are subject to certain restrictions and are subject to recoupment if not used for designated purposes. As a condition to receiving distributions, providers must agree to certain terms and conditions, including, among other things, that the funds are being used for lost revenues and unreimbursed COVID-19 related expenses as defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"). All recipients of PRF payments are required to comply with the reporting requirements described in the terms and conditions and as determined by HHS. The Company recognizes grant payments as grant income when there is reasonable assurance that it has complied with the conditions associated with the grant. Grant income recognized by the Company is presented in grant income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. HHS guidance related to PRF grant funds is still evolving and subject to change. The Company is continuing to monitor the reporting requirements as they evolve.
CARES Act Payroll Deferral
The CARES Act also provides for certain federal income and other tax changes, including the deferral of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes. The Company has deferred payment of approximately $20.8 million related to the deferral of employer payroll taxes as of September 30, 2021 under the CARES Act. Of this amount, approximately 50% is due in December of 2021 and 50% is due in December of 2022; therefore, $10.4 million is recorded in accrued expenses, and $10.4 million is recorded in other long-term liabilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 ("ASU 2020-01"), to clarify the interaction among the accounting standards for equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. ASU 2020-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. There was no material impact to the financial statements from the adoption of this ASU.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"). The ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Taxes, and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. There was no material impact to the financial statements from the adoption of this ASU.
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt are as follows:
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04") which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The relief granted in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform ("ASC 848"), is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform activities. The provisions of ASC 848 must be applied for all transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. Entities may apply the provisions as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made (i.e. as early as the first quarter 2020). Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures; however, does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") which addresses the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update limits the accounting models for convertible instruments resulting in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract. Specifically, ASU 2020-06 removes from GAAP the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adopting the ASU’s guidance, entities will not separately present an embedded conversion feature in such debt within equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures; however, does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
3. Acquisitions
Business Combinations
Simplura Health Group
On November 18, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Simplura Heath Group, or Simplura. Simplura was a nonpublic entity that specializes in personal care services offering placements of personal care assistants, home health aides, and skilled nurses for senior citizens, disabled adults and other high-needs patients. Simplura operates from its headquarters in Valley Stream, New York, with approximately 57 branches across 7 states, including in several of the nation’s largest personal care markets. The acquisition of Simplura added a new business segment in personal care—a sector of healthcare that complements the NEMT segment.
The stock transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of ModivCare Inc. acquired 100 percent of the voting stock of Simplura for $548.6 million (a preliminary purchase price of $569.8 million less $21.2 million of cash that was acquired).
The following is a preliminary estimate, based on certain preliminary items noted in the table below, of the allocation of the consideration transferred to acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, net of cash acquired, as of the acquisition date of November 18, 2020 (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Cash | $ | 21,182 | |
Accounts receivable (1) | 69,882 | |
Prepaid expenses and other (2) | 9,688 | |
Property and equipment (3) | 1,640 | |
Intangible assets (4) | 264,770 | |
Operating right of use asset (5) | 10,285 | |
Goodwill (6) | 317,085 | |
Other assets (7) | 628 | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (7) | (46,073) | |
Accrued expense (7) | (2,564) | |
Deferred revenue (7) | (2,871) | |
Deferred acquisition payments (8) | (4,046) | |
Deferred acquisition note payable (7) | (1,050) | |
Operating lease liabilities (5) | (10,285) | |
Deferred tax liabilities (9) | (58,452) | |
Total of assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $ | 569,819 | |
The acquisition method of accounting incorporates fair value measurements that can be highly subjective, and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.
(1) Management has valued accounts receivable based on the estimated future collectability of the receivables portfolio. This estimate is preliminary as the Company's evaluation of the collectability of receivables is ongoing.
(2) Given the short-term nature of the balance of prepaid expenses carrying value represents the fair value.
(3) The acquired property and equipment consists primarily of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and vehicles. The fair value of the property and equipment was determined based upon the best and highest use of the property with final values determined using cost and comparable sales methods.
(4) The allocation of consideration exchanged to intangible assets acquired is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Type | Useful Life | Value |
Payor network | Amortizable | 15 years | $ | 221,000 | |
Trademarks and trade names | Amortizable | 10 years | 43,000 | |
Licenses | Not Amortizable | Indefinite | 770 | |
| | | $ | 264,770 | |
The Company valued trademarks and trade names utilizing the relief of royalty method and payor network utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach. This assessment is preliminary and will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2021.
(5) The fair value of the operating lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset (current and long-term) were recorded at $11.7 million based on market rates available to the Company during our preliminary purchase price allocation. This assessment has since been updated through the implementation of ASC 842 at the Personal Care segment as of September 30, 2021, and the related balances have been updated to $10.3 million. This assessment remains preliminary as of the date of our filing and will be finalized with final purchase accounting in the fourth quarter of 2021.
(6) The acquisition preliminarily resulted in $309.7 million of goodwill as a result of expected synergies due to value-based care and solutions being provided to similar patient populations that partner with many of the same payor groups. In the second quarter of 2021 a closing cash adjustment of $3.5 million was paid to OEP AM and in the third quarter of 2021 other assets acquired were adjusted down by $3.9 million which, along with other immaterial adjustments, increased the goodwill related to this transaction to $317.1 million. This assessment is preliminary and purchase accounting will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2021. None of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
(7) Accounts payable as well as certain other current and non-current assets and liabilities are stated at fair value as of the acquisition date.
(8) Deferred acquisition payments are associated with historical acquisitions by Simplura.
(9) Net deferred tax liabilities represent the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their tax bases. See Note 13, Income Taxes, for additional discussion of the Company’s combined income tax position subsequent to the acquisition.
CareFinders Total Care
On September 14, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Care Finders. Care Finders is a personal care provider in the Northeast, with operations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. The acquisition of Care Finders broadens access to in-home personal care solutions for patients and supports the Company's strategy to expand on its personal care platform, which already includes Simplura.
The equity transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of ModivCare Inc. acquired 100% percent of the equity securities of Care Finders for $332.3 million (a preliminary purchase price of $344.3 million less $12.0 million of cash that was acquired).
The Company has not yet obtained and assessed all relevant historical financial information needed to perform the valuation and has not completed the final valuations of certain assets and liabilities. As such, the following is a preliminary estimate, based on certain preliminary items noted in the table below, of the allocation of the consideration transferred to acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, net of cash acquired, as of the acquisition date of September 14, 2021 (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Cash | $ | 11,963 | |

Accrued expense (8) | (871) | |
Other liabilities (8) | (80) | |
Deferred tax liabilities (9) | (2,275) | |
Total of assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $ | 344,291 | |
The acquisition method of accounting incorporates fair value measurements that can be highly subjective, and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances. Upon finalization of the preliminary items noted below there may be related adjustments to certain of such items and to goodwill and income taxes. All items are expected to be finalized by the third quarter of 2022.
(1) Management has valued accounts receivable based on the estimated future collectability of the receivables portfolio. This estimate is preliminary as the Company's evaluation of the collectability of receivables is ongoing.
(2) Given the short-term nature of the balance of prepaid expenses carrying value represents the fair value.
(3) The acquired property and equipment consists primarily of capitalized software, construction in progress, and computer equipment. This estimate is preliminary as the Company's evaluation of the fair value of property and equipment is ongoing.
(4) Inventories are stated at fair value as of the acquisition date.
(5) The allocation of consideration exchanged to intangible assets acquired is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |

The intangible valuation amounts disclosed in the table above represent a preliminary estimate, as of the acquisition date of September 14, 2021. Final purchase accounting is expected to be finalized by the third quarter of 2022.
(6) The acquisition preliminarily resulted in $248.5 million of goodwill as a result of expected synergies due to future customers driven by expansion into different markets, an increase in market share, and a growing demographic that will need VRI's monitoring products. Purchase accounting will be finalized in the third quarter of 2022. All of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill allocation to reporting units is not completed as of the date of the financial statements, September 30, 2021.

VRI Intermediate Holdings, LLC
On September 22, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of VRI, a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions, managing a comprehensive suite of services including personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. The acquisition of VRI accelerates the Company's strategy to build a holistic suite of supportive care solutions that address social determinants of health, introduces new technology-enabled in-home solutions that deepen the Company's engagement with payors and patients, and adds a strategic pillar and operating team to advance the Company's broader technology and data strategy. As a result of the acquisition, ModivCare adds remote patient monitoring, or RPM, as a business segment.
The stock transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of ModivCare Inc. acquired 100% percent of the equity securities of VRI for $314.8 million (a preliminary purchase price of $317.7 million less $2.9 million of cash that was acquired).

4. Segments
Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Simplura in November 2020, the Company, based on how its chief operating decision maker then determined the allocation of resources and assessed the performance of the Company’s operations, determined that it had 2 reportable operating segments: NEMT, which represents the Company’s non-emergency medical transportation business; and Matrix Investment, which represents the Company’s Clinical Care and Clinical Solutions businesses, that is reported by the Company under the equity method of accounting. Following its acquisition of Simplura in November 2020, which operates as a personal care service provider, the Company began reporting a third operating segment: Personal Care. The acquisition of Care Finders in September 2021, another personal care service provider, added to the operations of the Personal Care segment. Finally, the acquisition of VRI in September of 2021, a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions, adds a fourth operating segment, RPM, with respect to which the Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews financial performance and allocates resources.
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic units that offer different services under different financial and operating models to the Company’s customers. The segments are managed separately because each requires different technology and marketing strategies. Furthermore, the different segments were each generally acquired as a unit, with the
management of each at the time of acquisition retained to continue to operate their respective businesses. The Company has determined each of the separate reportable segments based on the difference in services provided by each of the segments as provided in further detail below:
•NEMT - which operates primarily under the brands ModivCare Solutions and Circulation, is the largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation programs for state governments and managed care organizations, or MCOs, in the U.S and includes the Company’s activities for executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and development functions;
•Personal Care - which operates under the brands Simplura and Care Finders, provides personal care to Medicaid patient populations, including seniors and disabled adults, in need of care monitoring and assistance performing activities of daily living;
•RPM - which operates under the VRI brand, is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions, including personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data driven patient engagement solutions; and
•Matrix Investment - which consists of a minority investment in Matrix, including its Clinical Care and Clinical Solutions businesses. Matrix’s Clinical Care provides risk adjustment solutions that improve health outcomes for individuals and financial performance for health plans. Matrix’s Clinical Solutions provides employee health and wellness services, decentralized clinical trial services, and lab services to its customers.

5. Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it transfers promised services to its customers and generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for these services. The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time instead of at points in time.
Revenue Contract Structure
NEMT Capitated Contracts
Under capitated contracts, payors pay a fixed amount per eligible member. We assume the responsibility of meeting the covered healthcare related transportation requirements based on per-member per-month fees for the number of eligible members in the customer’s program. Revenue is recognized based on the population served during the period. Certain capitated contracts have provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates. For contracts with reconciliation provisions, capitation payment is received as a prepayment during the month service is provided. These prepayments are periodically reconciled based on actual trip volume and may result in refunds to the customer, or additional payments due from the customer. Contracts with risk corridor or profit rebate provisions allow for profit within a certain corridor and once we reach profit level thresholds or maximums, we discontinue recognizing revenue and instead record a liability within the accrued contract payable account. This liability may be reduced through future increases in trip volume or periodic settlements with the customer. While a profit rebate provision could only result in a liability from this profit threshold, a risk corridor provision could potentially result in receivables if the Company does not reach certain profit minimums, which would be recorded in the reconciliation contract receivables account.
Capitation rates are generally based on expected costs and volume of services. Because Medicare pays capitation using a “risk adjustment model,” which compensates payors based on the health status (acuity) of each individual enrollee, payors with higher acuity enrollees receive more, and those with lower acuity enrollees receive less of the capitation that can be allocated to service providers. Under the risk adjustment model, capitation is paid on an interim basis based on enrollee data submitted for the preceding year and is adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled.
NEMT Fee-for-service Contracts
Fee-for-service ("FFS") revenue represents revenue earned under non-capitated contracts in which we bill and collect a specified amount for each service that we provide. FFS revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered and is reduced by the estimated impact of contractual allowances.
Personal Care Fee-for-service Contracts
Personal Care FFS service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from clients, patients and third-party payors for services rendered. Payment for services received from third-party payors includes, but is not limited to, insurance companies, hospitals, governmental agencies and other home health care providers who subcontract work to the Company. Certain contracts are subject to retroactive audit and possible adjustment by those payors based on the nature of the contract or costs incurred. The Company makes estimates of retroactive adjustments and considers these in the recognition of revenue in the period in which the related services are rendered. The difference between estimated settlement and actual settlement is reported in net service revenues as adjustments become known or as years are no longer subject to such audits, reviews, or investigations.
RPM Service Contracts
RPM service revenue consists of revenue from monitoring services provided to the customer. Under RPM contracts, payors pay per-enrolled-member-per month, based on enrolled membership. Consideration is generally fixed for each type of
monitoring service and the contracts do not typically contain variable components of consideration. As such, the RPM segment recognizes revenue based on the monthly fee paid by customers.

(1) Accrued compensation and related liabilities include deferred payroll taxes, which are deferred as a result of the CARES Act. The CARES Act provides for certain federal income and other tax changes, including the deferral of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes. The Company has received a cumulative cash benefit of approximately $20.8 million related to the deferral of employer payroll taxes as of September 30, 2021 under the CARES Act. Of this amount, approximately 50% is due in December of 2021 and 50% is due in December of 2022, therefore, $10.4 million is recorded in accrued expenses, and $10.4 million is recorded in other long-term liabilities.
10. Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes
On November 4, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due on November 15, 2025 (the “Senior Notes due 2025”). Additionally on August 24, 2021, the Company issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due on October 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”). The Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029 were issued pursuant to two indentures, dated November 4, 2020 and August 24, 2021 respectively, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Senior Notes due 2025 relate to the Company’s acquisition of Simplura and the Senior Notes due 2029 relate to the Company’s acquisition of VRI.
The Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029 (collectively, the "Notes") are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's future subordinated indebtedness, rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness, are effectively subordinated to any of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Credit Facility (as defined below), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The indentures for the Notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified capital stock; make certain investments; create or incur certain liens; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; merge, consolidate, amalgamate or transfer substantially all of its assets; agree to dividend or other payment restrictions affecting its restricted subsidiaries; and transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of its restricted subsidiaries. These covenants, however, are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications, and certain covenants may be suspended in the event the Notes are assigned an investment grade rating from two of three ratings agencies. The indentures for both the Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029 provide that the notes may become subject to redemption under certain circumstances.
In connection with the Senior Notes due 2025, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to November 15, 2022, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the notes prior to November 15, 2022, at a redemption price of 105.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings, subject to certain conditions as specified in the Indenture Agreement. At any time prior to November 15, 2022, during each calendar year, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a purchase price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2025 to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
On or after November 15, 2022, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes due 2025 upon not less than ten days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Senior Notes due 2025 redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below:
| | | | | |
Year | Percentage |
2022 | 102.938% |
2023 | 101.469% |
2024 and thereafter | 100.000% |
The Company may also redeem the Senior Notes due 2029, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2024, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes due 2029 prior to October 1, 2024, at a redemption price of 105.000% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings, subject to certain conditions as specified in the Indenture Agreement.
On or after October 1, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes due 2029 upon not less than ten nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on October 1 of the years indicated below:
| | | | | |
Year | Percentage |
2024 | 102.500% |
2025 | 101.250% |
2026 and thereafter | 100.000% |
The Company will pay interest on the Senior Notes due 2025 at 5.875% per annum until maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, with the first interest payment date being May 15, 2021. Principal payments are not required until the maturity date on November 15, 2025 when 100% of the outstanding principal will be required to be repaid. As a part of the bond issuance process, we incurred a $9.0 million bridge commitment fee that provided a potential funding backstop in the event that the Notes did not meet the desired subscription level to be used to acquire Simplura. That commitment expired unused upon closing of the Notes and the fee was expensed in Q4 2020.
Pursuant to the Senior Notes due 2029, the Company will pay interest on the notes at 5.000% per annum until maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, with the first interest payment date being April 1, 2022. Principal payments are not required until the maturity date on October 1, 2029 when 100% of the outstanding principal will be required to be repaid. As a part of the bond issuance process, we incurred a $6.6 million bridge commitment fee that provided a potential funding backstop in the event that the Notes did not meet the desired subscription level to be used to acquire VRI. That commitment expired unused upon closing of the Notes and the fee was expensed in Q3 2021.
Debt issuance costs of $14.5 million in relation to the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2025 were incurred and these costs were deferred and are amortized to interest cost over the term of the Notes. Debt issuance costs of $13.5 million were incurred in relation to the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2029 and these costs were deferred and are amortized to interest cost over the term of the Notes. As of September 30, 2021, $25.3 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs was netted against the long-term debt balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Credit Facility
The Company is a party to the amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement, dated as of August 2, 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders party thereto. On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”) which, among other things, extended the maturity date to August 1, 2021, expanded the amount available under the revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from $200.0 million to $225.0 million, and increased the sub-facility for letters of credit from $25.0 million to $40.0 million. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of each lender’s commitment under the Credit Facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit.
On October 16, 2020, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), which among other things, amended the Credit Facility to permit the incurrence of additional debt to finance the acquisition of Simplura (the "Simplura Acquisition"), permit borrowing under the Credit Facility to partially fund the Simplura Acquisition with limited conditions to such borrowing, increase the top interest rate margin that may apply to loans thereunder, and revise our permitted ratio of EBITDA to indebtedness. In addition, the Eighth Amendment extended the maturity date to August 2, 2023.
On September 13, 2021, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), which among other things, amended the Credit Facility to permit the incurrence of additional debt to finance the acquisition of VRI and revise certain financial covenants therein to permit the consummation of the VRI acquisition.
Effective as of the Ninth Amendment, interest on the outstanding principal amount of loans under the Credit Facility accrues, at the Company’s election, at a per annum rate equal to the greater of either LIBOR or 1.00%, plus an applicable margin, or the Base Rate as defined in the agreement plus an applicable margin respectively. The applicable margin ranges from 2.25% to 3.50% in the case of LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.50% in the case of the Base Rate loans, in each case, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement that governs our Credit Facility. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.35% to 0.50% and 2.25% to 3.50%, respectively, in each case based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement that governs our Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility; however, there were letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $21.1 million. The Company’s available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was $203.9 million. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the revolving credit facility from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) in an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million, with either additional commitments from lenders under the Credit Agreements at such time or new commitments from financial institutions acceptable to the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion, so long as no default or event of default exists at the time of any such increases. The Company may not be able to access additional funds under these increase options as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increases under the Credit Facility.
11. Stock-Based Compensation and Similar Arrangements
The Company provides stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors under the Company's 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective July 27, 2016 (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The Equity Incentive Plan allows the flexibility to grant or award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units including restricted stock units and performance awards to eligible persons.
The following table reflects the amount of stock-based compensation, for share settled awards, recorded in each financial statement line item for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Total stock-based compensation | $ | 1,566 | | | $ | 1,177 | | | $ | 4,225 | | | $ | 2,949 | |
At September 30, 2021, the Company had 270,962 stock options outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $88.03. The Company also had 19,975 unvested restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and 60,243 unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs") outstanding at September 30, 2021 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $91.08 and $114.19, respectively.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On March 8, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $75.0 million in aggregate value of the Company’s Common Stock through December 31, 2021, unless terminated earlier. Through September 30, 2021, 269,407 shares were repurchased under the program for $39.0 million.
13. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 34.1% and 24.0% respectively. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 27.0% and 17.6%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the favorable impact of the CARES Act on the Company’s 2018 U.S. net operating losses ("NOLs").
During 2019, the Company received refunds from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) totaling $30.8 million resulting from the loss on the sale of our workforce development segment ("WD Services segment") in 2018. As a result of the size of the refunds received, in October 2019, the IRS commenced a Joint Committee Review of the refunds. The review was completed in the third quarter of 2021 with no material adjustments being made.
The 2017 Tax Reform Act reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and provided that U.S. NOLs incurred after 2017 could only be carried forward to offset future taxable income. Pursuant to the CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020, the Company carried its 2018 NOL back five years. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $27.3 million receivable for the 2018 U.S. NOL carryback, and a $11.0 million tax benefit from the favorable carryback tax rate of 35% compared to a carryforward tax rate of 21%. The Company also recorded an additional income tax payable of $3.5 million for 2019 as a result of the 2018 NOL being carried back instead of carried forward.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company has received all of the $27.3 million receivable for the 2018 U.S. NOL carryback. This $27.3 million was also subject to the IRS Joint Committee Review, which was completed in the third quarter of 2021 with no material adjustments being made.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be or become involved in various lawsuits. Unless otherwise expressly stated, our management does not expect any ongoing lawsuits involving the Company to have a material impact on the business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company.
On August 6, 2020, LogistiCare Solutions, LLC, the Company’s subsidiary now known as ModivCare Solutions, LLC (“ModivCare Solutions”), was served with a putative class action law suit filed against it by Mohamed Farah, the owner of transportation provider Dalmar Transportation, in the Western District of Missouri, seeking to represent all non-employee transportation providers contracted with ModivCare Solutions. The lawsuit alleges claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (the “FLSA”), and the Missouri Minimum Wage Act, and asserts that all transportation providers to ModivCare Solutions in the putative class should be considered ModivCare Solutions’ employees rather than independent contractors. On June 6, 2021, the Court conditionally certified as the putative class all current and former In Network Transportation Providers who, individually or through their companies, were issued 1099 payments from ModivCare Solutions for providing non-emergency medical transportation services for ModivCare Solutions for the previous three years. Notice of the proposed collective class was issued on October 5, 2021, and potential members of the class have until January 3, 2022 to opt-in. ModivCare Solutions believes it will be able to decertify this class action after discovery and in any event intends to defend itself vigorously with respect to this matter, believes that it is and has been in compliance in all material respects with the laws and regulations regarding the characterization of the transportation providers as independent contractors, and does not
believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
On January 21, 2019, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio unsealed a qui tam complaint, filed in December 2015, against Mobile Care Group, Inc., Mobile Care Group of Ohio, LLC, Mobile Care EMS & Transport, Inc. (collectively, the “Mobile Care Entities”) and ModivCare Solutions by Brandee White, Laura Cunningham, and Jeffery Wisier (the “Relators”) alleging that the Mobile Care Entities and indirectly ModivCare Solutions violated the federal False Claims Act by presenting claims for payment to government healthcare programs knowing that the prerequisites for such claims to be paid had not been met. The Relators seek to recover damages, fees and costs under the federal False Claims Act, including treble damages, civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. In addition, the Relators seek reinstatement to their jobs with the Mobile Care Entities. None of the Relators were employed by ModivCare Solutions. The federal government has declined to intervene against ModivCare Solutions. ModivCare Solutions filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint on April 22, 2019, but such motion was denied on October 26, 2021. ModivCare Solutions intends to file an interlocutory appeal of this ruling and believes, in any event, that the case will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
In 2017, one of our Personal Care segment subsidiaries, All Metro Home Care Services of New York, Inc. d/b/a All Metro Health Care (“All Metro”), received a class action lawsuit in state court claiming that, among other things, it failed to properly pay live-in caregivers who stay in patients’ homes for 24 hours per day (“live-ins”). The Company currently pays live-ins for 13 hours per day as supported through a written opinion letter from the New York State Department of Labor (“NYSDOL”). A similar case involving this issue has been heard by the New York Court of Appeals (New York’s highest court), which on March 26, 2019, issued a ruling reversing earlier lower courts’ decisions that an employer must pay live-ins for 24 hours. The Court of Appeals agreed with the NYSDOL’s interpretation to pay live-ins 13 hours instead of 24 hours if certain conditions were being met. If the class action lawsuit on this matter is allowed to proceed, and is successful, All Metro may be liable for back wages and litigated damages going back to November 2011. All Metro intends to defend itself vigorously with respect to this matter, believes that it is and has been in compliance in all material respects with the laws and regulations covering pay for live-in caregivers, and does not believe in any event that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. In a companion case, a federal class action lawsuit was filed in May 2021 alleging similar claims. All Metro retained the same attorneys to represent it in both the state and federal cases. All Metro orally agreed to settle this federal matter for a de minimis amount on October 15, 2021.
15. Transactions with Related Parties
Cash-Settled Awards
On an annual basis, the Company grants stock equivalent unit awards (“SEUs”) to Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum”) as compensation for the board of directors’ service of Christopher Shackelton in lieu of the restricted share awards that are given to our other non-employee directors. These SEUs typically have a one-year vesting schedule and are paid out in cash upon vesting based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of vesting. On February 10, 2021, the Company granted Coliseum 725 SEUs under this program.
In addition, on September 11, 2014, the Company granted 200,000 stock option equivalent units (“SOEUs”) to Coliseum at an exercise price of $43.81 per share that were fully vested. The SOEUs were accounted for as liability awards, with the recorded expense adjustment attributable to the Company’s change in stock price from the previous reporting period. On August 12, 2021, Coliseum exercised all of the SOEUs at a stock price of $182.73 per share for a total cash settlement of $27.8 million. At September 30, 2021, there were no SOEU's outstanding.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded expense of $2.6 million and $9.1 million respectively, for all cash-settled awards, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded expense of $2.9 million and $6.9 million respectively, for all cash-settled awards. The expense and benefit for cash-settled awards is included as “General and administrative expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The liability for unexercised cash-settled share-based payment awards of $0.2 million and $19.4 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, is reflected in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2021, the Company had 1,344 SEUs outstanding.

ModivCare is a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for public and private payors and their patients. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health, or SDoH, enable greater access to care, reduce costs, and improve outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation, or NEMT, personal care, and remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solutions. The technology-enabled operating model includes NEMT core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transport management. Additionally, its personal care services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting, including senior citizens and disabled adults. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring services include personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions.
ModivCare’s solutions help health plans manage risks, close care gaps, reduce costs, and connect members to care. Through the combination of its historical NEMT business, its in-home personal care business that consists of Simplura Health Group and Care Finders Total Care LLC, and its recent addition of the remote patient monitoring business through its acquisition of VRI Intermediate Holdings, LLC, or VRI, ModivCare has united four complementary healthcare businesses that
serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. For additional information about our business and operating segments, please see Note 1 and Note 4 to the accompanying unaudited financial statements.
Business Outlook and Trends
Our performance is affected by a number of trends that drive the demand for our services. In particular, the markets in which we operate are exposed to various trends, such as healthcare industry and demographic dynamics. Over the long term, we believe there are numerous factors that could affect growth within the industries in which we operate, including:
•an aging population, which is expected to increase demand for healthcare services and transportation and, accordingly, in-home personal care services;
•a movement towards value-based versus fee-for-service and cost plus, or FFS, care and budget pressure on governments, both of which may increase the use of private corporations to provide necessary and innovative services;
•increasing demand for in-home care provision, driven by cost pressures on traditional reimbursement models and technological advances enabling remote engagement, including telehealth and similar internet-based health related services;
•technological advancements, which may be utilized by us to improve services and lower costs, but may also be utilized by others, which may increase industry competitiveness; and,
•Medicaid, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) and Medicare Advantage plans increasingly are covering NEMT services for a variety of reasons, including increased access to care, improved patient compliance with treatment plans, social trends, and to promote SDoH, and this trend may be accelerated or reinforced by the signing into law of The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 ("H.R.133"), a component of which mandates that state Medicaid programs ensure that Medicaid beneficiaries have necessary transportation to and from health care providers.
Update on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Since March of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Company’s business, as well as its patients, communities, and employees. The Company’s priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic remain protecting the health and safety of its employees and patients, maximizing the availability of its services and products to support the SDoH, and the operational and financial stability of its business.
Federal, state, and local authorities have taken several actions designed to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients and to mitigate the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Legislative actions taken by the federal government include the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Through the CARES Act, the federal government has authorized payments to be distributed to healthcare providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("Provider Relief Fund" or "PRF").
Grant Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received distributions of the CARES Act PRF of approximately $3.5 million targeted to offset lost revenue and expenditures incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, which is currently recorded as grant income. The PRF payments are subject to certain restrictions and are subject to recoupment if not used for designated purposes. As a condition to receiving distributions, providers must agree to certain terms and conditions, including, among other things, that the funds are being used for lost revenues and unreimbursed COVID-19 related expenses as defined by HHS. All recipients of PRF payments are required to comply with the reporting requirements described in the terms and conditions and as determined by HHS. The Company recognizes grant payments as grant income when there is reasonable assurance that it has complied with the conditions associated with the grant. Grant income recognized by the Company is presented in grant income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. HHS guidance related to PRF grant funds is still evolving and subject to change. The Company is continuing to monitor the reporting requirements as they evolve.
The CARES Act also provides for certain federal income and other tax changes, including the deferral of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes. The Company has deferred payment of approximately $20.8 million related to the deferral of employer payroll taxes as of September 30, 2021 under the CARES Act. Of this amount, approximately 50% is due in December of 2021 and 50% is due in December of 2022; therefore, $10.4 million is recorded in accrued expenses, and $10.4 million is recorded in other long-term liabilities.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our NEMT Segment has experienced a decreased number of trips beginning in March 2020. As many of our contracts are capitated, our revenues did not experience a decrease to the level of our transportation costs, resulting in a positive impact to our gross margin. However, certain of our contracts contain risk corridor or profit rebate provisions, which result in a possible refund to our payors if our gross margin exceeds certain pre-determined
limits. For these contracts, we have recognized a contract payable in relation to revenues that have been received, however are unearned due to the possibility of payback. It is possible we could experience higher transportation costs in the future as we are currently seeing trip volumes increase to levels higher than those pre-pandemic in certain regions of the country. See further discussion of this at Note 5, Revenue Recognition.
Since March 2020 and primarily as a result of the COVID pandemic, our Personal Care Segment business has experienced and is expected to continue to experience a material reduction in the volume of service hours and visits. Volume has been reduced as patients put services on hold due to infection concerns, and/or because they had the alternative of receiving care from family members and others working remotely or furloughed from their jobs. Cases have also been lost and new case referrals slowed as referral sources faced disruption from the various restrictions and “stay at home” orders. Our personal care service volumes are not expected to recover to pre-pandemic levels until the vaccines are more universally applied in the markets where we provide our services. While these depressed volumes will continue to result in lower than expected revenue, at least in the near term, we may also be challenged with wage pressures related to minimum wage increases and a narrowing caregiver labor pool that is currently being supplemented by unemployment benefits and further being impacted by a federal vaccine mandate.

Results of Operations
Segment reporting. Our operating segments reflect the manner in which our operations are organized and reviewed by management and our chief operating decision maker.
We operate in four reportable business segments: NEMT, Personal Care, RPM and the Matrix Investment. Prior to November 17, 2020, our primary operating segment was NEMT, which provides non-emergency medical transportation services. Our Personal Care segment is composed of the operations from two acquisitions: Simplura on November 18, 2020, which operates in the non-medical personal care service industry; and Care Finders on September 14, 2021, a personal care service provider with operations concentrated in the Northeast, with a scaled presence in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. On September 22, 2021, we acquired VRI, resulting in the establishment of our RPM segment. VRI is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions. Our investment in Matrix is also a reportable segment referred to as the “Matrix Investment”. Segment results are based on how our chief operating decision maker manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The operating results of our NEMT, Personal Care and RPM segments include revenue and expenses incurred by the segment, and the operating results of our NEMT segment also include our activities related to executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and corporate development functions for each segment. See Note 4, Segments, in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our segments.

The non-emergency medical transportation (“NEMT”) segment, which operates under the brands ModivCare Solutions and Circulation, is the largest manager of NEMT programs for state governments and managed care organizations ("MCOs") in the U.S; and includes the Company’s activities for executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and development functions.
Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net, increased by $52.4 million and 16%, from the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to $36.0 million of revenue related to increased trip volume and $19.0 million of revenue related to contracts from the NMT acquisition that took place in the second quarter of 2020. Service revenue, net increased by $111.0 million and 11%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily attributable to $88.1 million of revenue from contracts acquired in the NMT acquisition and $42.9 million related to higher trip volume. Trip volume increased for both the quarter to date and year to date period ended September 30, 2021 when compared to 2020, as trip volume was depressed in the prior year due to the impact of COVID-19. While a majority of our contacts are capitated and we receive monthly payments on a per member/fixed basis in return for full or partial risk of transportation volumes, we have certain contracts that limit profit to within a certain corridor and once we reach the maximum profit level we discontinue recognizing revenue and instead build a liability to return back to the customer upon reconciliation at a later date. Other contracts that are structured as fee-for-service also experienced positive impacts to revenue due to higher trip volumes.
Service expense. Service expense for our NEMT segment primarily consists of transportation costs paid to third party service providers, salaries of employees within our contact centers and operations centers, and occupancy costs. Service expense increased by $68.9 million and 29% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily related to an increase in transportation costs of $65.2 million due to higher trip volume. Service expense increased by $105.2 million and 14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to an increase in transportation costs of $102.4 million, due to higher trip volume.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries for administrative employees that indirectly support the operations, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees. General and administrative expense increased by $17.7 million and 51% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, related to $11.6 million for acquisition costs for VRI and Care Finders, $3.2 million for personnel expense and $1.5 million for temporary labor. General and administrative expense increased by $47.3 million and 55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of $22.9 million related to transaction costs and value enhancement projects, $8.7 million related to software, $6.6 million related to personnel expense and $3.7 million related to legal expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.2 million and 3% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to consistent PPE expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $4.5 million and 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2020, as a result of a full nine months of amortization on the NMT intangibles in 2021, as compared to only five months of amortization in 2020.

Our Personal Care segment was established in November 2020 with the acquisition of Simplura and expanded in September 2021 with the acquisition of Care Finders. Our personal care segment’s services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and nurses, primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting, including senior citizens and disabled adults. As both of these acquisitions took place after the third quarter of 2020, comparable figures for the prior year are not provided.
Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net, from MCO contracts accounted for 55% and 54% of service revenue, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, while U.S. state Medicaid program contracts accounted for 40% of service revenue, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The remainder of the Personal Care segment revenue is derived from private pay and other contracts.
Grant Income. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received distributions of the CARES Act PRF of approximately $3.5 million targeted to offset lost revenue and unreimbursed expenditures incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company did not receive any distributions from the CARES Act PRF during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Service expense. Service expense for our personal care segment primarily consists of salaries for the employees providing the personal care services and it typically trends with the number of hours worked. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, service expense for the Personal Care segment includes $7.0 million related to the Care Finders acquisition, with the remainder related to the Simplura acquisition. Services expense is 79% of service revenue, net, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries for administrative employees that indirectly support the operations, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees. General and administrative expense for the Personal Care segment includes $1.3 million related to the Care Finders acquisition, with the remainder being related to the Simplura acquisition. General and administrative expense is 13% of service revenue, net for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of amortization expense on the intangible assets brought on under the Simplura acquisition of $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Depreciation and amortization expense is 4% of service revenue, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
RPM Segment
Our Remote Patient Monitoring segment was established in September 2021 with the acquisition of VRI. VRI is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions and manages a comprehensive suite of services, including personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. As the RPM segment consists of only nine days of activity related to the current period, and no activity for the prior period, the amounts were not material and therefore a separate table with respect to those results has been omitted until future periods.
Matrix Segment

| For the Three months ended September 30, | | For the Nine months ended September 30, |
| 2021 | | 2020 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
Equity in net income (loss) of investee | $ | (6,748) | | | $ | 10,325 | | | $ | (1,978) | | | $ | 12,200 | |
Equity investment | $ | 134,353 | | | $ | 141,292 | | | $ | 134,353 | | | $ | 141,292 | |
The company holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries, which operates under the Matrix Medical Network brand, which we refer to as “Matrix”. Matrix maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services, and a fleet of mobile health clinics that provide community-based care with advanced diagnostic capabilities and enhanced care options.
Equity in net income (loss) of investee changed from income of $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to a loss of $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This change is primarily attributable to the Clinical Solutions business unit revenue, which declined by $73.7 million due to the winding down of COVID-19 testing and screening. For the nine months ended September 30, equity in net income of investee changed from income of $12.2 million in 2020 to a loss of $2.0 million for the same period in 2021. While revenue over this period increased by $24.1 million due to higher membership and an increase in visits to the home, operating expenses increased by $75.7 million, related to increased hours worked by the care providers, as well as increased hourly costs due to wage pressures and hazard pay.
Matrix reported that its QTD and YTD net income was negatively impacted by its Clinical Solutions business, which had a decrease in revenue due to a faster than expected vaccination rollout and winding down of COVID testing, which was offset by the launch of its clinical trials business in the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, Matrix reported increased revenue and income related to a clinical solutions product offering following the October 2020 acquisition of Biocerna LLC, a diagnostic company that, among other tests, provides rapid COVID-19 test kits.
Seasonality
Our NEMT segment's quarterly operating income and cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business, principally due to lower transportation demand during the winter season and higher demand during the summer season.
Our Personal Care segment’s quarterly operating income and cash flows also normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business, principally due to somewhat lower demand for in-home services from caregivers during the summer and periods with major holidays, as patients may spend more time with family and less time alone needing outside care during those periods.
Our RPM segment’s quarterly operating income and cash flows do not normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business.
Liquidity and capital resources
Short-term capital requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses, new contract start-up costs and costs associated with our strategic initiatives. We expect to meet our cash requirements through available cash on hand, cash generated from operations, net of capital expenditures, and borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility.
Cash flow from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $174.7 million. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $126.7 million and $183.4 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Restricted cash amounts are not included in our balance of cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, although they are included in the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. At September 30, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility; however, we had letters of credit outstanding of $21.1 million. At December 31, 2020, we had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.
We may, from time to time, access capital markets to raise equity or debt financing for various business reasons, including acquisitions and possible refinancing activity. We may also raise debt financing to fund future repurchases of our common stock. The timing, term, size, and pricing of any such financing will depend on investor interest and market conditions, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing on terms acceptable to us at the time or at all.
YTD 2021 cash flows compared to YTD 2020
Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $174.7 million and $287.2 million for YTD 2021 and YTD 2020, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $112.5 million due to a decrease in cash provided by net income of $67.0 million and a further decrease in cash provided by changes in working capital of $69.8 million, partially offset by an increase in cash due to increased amortization expense of $17.6 million and an increase in cash due to the change in our equity method investment of $14.2 million. The working capital changes were related to a decrease in cash related to the change in accounts receivable of $89.6 million and a decrease in cash related to the change in accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $25.9 million, partially offset by an increase in cash provided by an increase in accrued contract payables of $63.6 million.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities of $681.1 million in YTD 2021 increased by $598.6 million as compared to the YTD 2020 net cash used in investing activities of $82.5 million, primarily due to $589.6 million more spent on acquisitions in 2021 than the related period in 2020. The increase in the use of cash was also related to an increase in purchase of property, plant and equipment of $9.1 million.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities of $449.7 million in YTD 2021 changed by $529.4 million as compared to net cash used in financing activities YTD 2020 of $79.6 million. The change was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from debt of $463.0 million, primarily as a result of the $500.0 million Senior Notes issued August 24, 2021, partially offset by an increase in cash paid to repurchase common stock of $28.9 million for YTD 2021, as compared to YTD 2020.
Obligations and commitments
Senior Unsecured Notes. On November 4, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due on November 15, 2025 (the “Senior Notes due 2025”). Additionally on August 24, 2021, the Company issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due on October 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”). The Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029 were issued pursuant to two indentures, dated November 4, 2020 and August 24, 2021, respectively, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Senior Notes due 2025 relate to the Company’s acquisition of Simplura and the Senior Notes due 2029 relate to the Company’s acquisition of VRI.
The Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029 (collectively, the "Notes") are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's future subordinated indebtedness, rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness, are effectively subordinated to any of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The Company will pay interest on the Senior Notes due 2025 at 5.875% per annum until maturity. The Company will further pay interest on the Senior Notes due 2029 at 5.000% per annum until maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, with the first interest payment date being May 15, 2021 on the Senior Notes due 2025. Additionally, interest is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, with the first interest payment date being April 1, 2022 for the Senior Notes due 2029. Principal payments are not required until the maturity date on November 15, 2025 and October 1, 2029 when 100% of the outstanding principal will be required to be repaid on the Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029, respectively.
Credit Facility. The Company is a party to the amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement, dated as of August 2, 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders party thereto. On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”) which, among other things, extended the maturity date to August 1, 2021, expanded the amount available under the revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from $200.0 million to $225.0 million, and increased the sub-facility for letters of credit from $25.0 million to $40.0 million. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of each lender’s commitment under the Credit Facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit.
On October 16, 2020, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), which among other things, amended the Credit Facility to permit the incurrence of additional debt to finance the acquisition of Simplura, permit borrowing under the Credit Facility to partially fund the Simplura Acquisition with limited conditions to such borrowing, increase the top interest rate margin that may apply to loans thereunder, and revise our permitted ratio of EBITDA to indebtedness. In addition, the Eighth Amendment extended the maturity date to August 2, 2023. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for further information on the Simplura acquisition.
On September 13, 2021, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), which among other things, amended the Credit Facility to permit the incurrence of additional debt to finance the acquisition of VRI and revise certain financial covenants therein to permit the consummation of the VRI acquisition. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for further information on the VRI acquisition.
Effective as of the Ninth Amendment, interest on the outstanding principal amount of loans under the Credit Facility accrues, at the Company’s election, at a per annum rate equal to the greater of either LIBOR or 1.00%, plus an applicable
margin, or the Base Rate as defined in the agreement plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 2.25% to 3.50% in the case of LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.50% in the case of the Base Rate loans, in each case, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement that governs our Credit Facility. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.35% to 0.50% and 2.25% to 3.50%, respectively, in each case based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement that governs our Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, repurchase shares, sell assets, and merge and consolidate. We are subject to financial covenants, including consolidated net leverage and consolidated interest coverage covenants. As of September 30, 2021, our consolidated net leverage ratio may not be greater than 5.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and our consolidated interest coverage ratio may not be less than 3.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, our consolidated net leverage ratio was increased to 5.00:1.00 as of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date through June 30, 2022, decreasing to 4.50:1.00 as of September 30, 2022 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.
We were in compliance with all covenants under the Ninth Amended Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes to the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements discussion previously disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We have exposure to interest rate risk mainly related to our Credit Facility, which has variable interest rates that may increase on the principal amounts outstanding thereunder from time to time. We did not have any amounts outstanding on our Credit Facility at September 30, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management (including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2021. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
The principal executive and financial officers also conducted an evaluation of whether any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect such control. Such officers have concluded that no such changes have occurred.
(c) Limitations on the effectiveness of controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time-to-time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We record accruals for outstanding legal matters when it is believed to be probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management, following consultation with legal counsel, does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of any such ongoing or anticipated matters to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. We cannot predict with certainty, however, the potential for or outcome of any litigation. Regardless of the outcome of any particular litigation and the merits of any particular claim, litigation can have a material adverse impact on us due to, among other reasons, any injunctive relief granted which could inhibit our ability to operate our business, amounts paid as damages or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and defense costs. Interested parties should refer to Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements included in this report for information concerning other potential contingent liabilities matters that do not rise to the level of materiality for purposes of disclosure hereunder.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The risks described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”) could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. The discussion of the risks included under that caption in our Annual Report remains current in all material respects, and there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report. The risk factors that we have discussed do not identify all risks that we face; our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
