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 complete 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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 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 complete 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, 2021.

Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures enacted by state and government officials to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 or slow its spread have had an ongoing adverse impact on the Company’s business, as well as its patients, communities, and employees. With ongoing uncertainties around the duration and magnitude of the pandemic, the ultimate impact to the business remains uncertain. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company's financial statements with potential for (i) labor shortages or other disruptions that impact our ability to provide services, and (ii) decreased member comfort leaving the house to obtain transportation for non-emergency medical purposes; among other things. Despite ongoing uncertainties, the Company’s priorities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic remain intact with emphasis on protecting the health and safety of its employees, maximizing the availability of its services and products to support the SDoH, and supporting 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 CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARPA"). 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"). The Government further initiated ARPA which established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund ("SLFRF") to send relief payments to state and local governments impacted by the pandemic to assist with responding to the public health emergency (“PHE”) including the economic hardships that continue to impact communities and to respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 PHE, including providers. These funds are not subject to repayment, provided we are able to attest and comply with any terms and conditions of such funding, as applicable.
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.
Changes in Accounting Estimate
In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets and intangible assets on an ongoing basis. As a result of this review, the Company adjusted the estimated useful life of the Simplura trademarks and trade names intangible asset from 10 years to 3 years and adjusted the estimated useful life of the payor network from 15 years to 10 years effective as of January 1, 2022. This change was driven by strategic shifts in the Company's personal care segment operations, partially contributed to by the acquisition of Care Finders Total Care, LLC ("Care Finders"). Based on the intangible asset values as of December 31, 2021, the effect of the change in estimate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was an increase in amortization expense of $3.6 million, a decrease in net income of $2.4 million, and a decrease in earnings per share of $0.17 per diluted common share outstanding, and an increase in amortization expense of $10.7 million, a decrease in net income of $8.4 million, and a decrease in earnings per share of $0.60 per diluted common share outstanding, respectively.
Government Grants
The Company has received government grants under the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF to provide economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under these acts, the Company received distributions of approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. No distributions were received during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company received distributions of approximately $10.4 million and $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Distributions received under these acts are targeted to assist with incremental health care related expenses or lost revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as provide stimulus to support long-term growth and recovery.
The payments from these acts are subject to certain restrictions and possible recoupment if not used for designated purposes. As a condition to receiving PRF distributions, providers must agree to certain terms and conditions, including that the funds are being used for healthcare related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19, 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 has submitted the required
documents to meet reporting requirements through reporting period three, which ended September 30, 2022. The Company received an audit inquiry letter from HHS related to one of the business units that received PRF payments, to which the Company has responded and submitted all requested information and believes that the payments received are substantiated and within the terms and conditions defined by the HHS and continues to include these amounts as grant income. At this time, the Company is unaware of any other pending or upcoming audits or inquiries related to PRF received.
As a condition to receiving SLFRF, providers must agree to use the funds to respond to the PHE or its negative economic impacts, to respond to workers performing essential work by providing premium pay to eligible workers and to offset reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 PHE as stipulated by the states in which the funds were received. All recipients of SLFRF payments are required to comply with the reporting requirements that the state in which the funds originated has requested in order for the states to meet the requirements as described in the terms and conditions as determined by the Department of the Treasury. The Company has complied with all known reporting requirements to date.
The Company recognizes distributions from government grants as grant income in line with the loss of revenues or expenses for which the grants are intended to compensate when there is reasonable assurance that it has complied with the conditions associated with the grant.
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 $12.3 million related to the deferral of employer payroll taxes as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 under the CARES Act which is recorded in accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. This balance is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
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. There was no material impact to the financial statements from the adoption of this ASU.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). The new guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. Under the current business combinations guidance, such assets and liabilities are recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning on or after November 1, 2023, including interim periods therein. The standard will not impact acquired contract assets or liabilities from business combinations occurring prior to the effective date of adoption, and the impact in future periods will depend on the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations. The Company has elected to early adopt this accounting standard and notes that there was no material impact to the financial statements from the adoption of this ASU.

The acquisition method of accounting requires us to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the date of acquisition, which requires management to use currently available information to make estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that the available information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however, if new information becomes available related to facts that existed at the acquisition date, preliminary estimates may be adjusted. Upon finalization of the preliminary items noted below, there may be related adjustments to certain of such items and to goodwill and income taxes.
(1) Management has valued accounts receivable based on the estimated future collectability of the receivables portfolio. In the third quarter of 2022, it was determined that $0.4 million of the initial accounts receivable balance was uncollectible, and therefore, the initial balance of $2.9 million was decreased to $2.5 million. 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 and other assets, the carrying value represents the fair value.
(3) The acquired property and equipment consists primarily of personal emergency response system devices, with the remainder consisting of computer equipment and furniture and fixtures. The Company valued the personal emergency response system devices utilizing the cost approach. The carrying value of the remainder of the property, plant and equipment, consisting primarily of computer equipment and furniture and fixtures, is assumed to represent the fair value. Management's assessment of the fair value for PP&E is ongoing.
(4) The preliminary allocation of consideration exchanged for intangible assets acquired is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Type | Useful Life | Value |
Payor network | Amortizable | 7 years | $ | 21,600 | |

| | | $ | 21,950 | |
The Company valued the payor network utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method and trade names utilizing the relief-from-royalty method.
(5) The acquisition preliminarily resulted in $43.7 million of goodwill as a result of expected synergies due to future customers driven by expansion into different markets and an increase in market share. In the third quarter of 2022, accounts receivable was adjusted down by $0.4 million which caused a corresponding increase to goodwill for a total goodwill balance of $44.1 million. The amount of goodwill deductible for tax purposes has yet to be determined.
(6) Due to the short-term nature of the accounts, the carrying value is assumed to represent the fair value for accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of the acquisition date.
Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)

Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $ | (0.69) | | | $ | (0.96) | | | $ | (0.52) | | | $ | 0.87 | |
Estimated unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisitions been completed on the date indicated or of future operating results. The supplemental pro forma earnings were adjusted to exclude the impact of historical interest expense of Care Finders and VRI of $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $3.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.4 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 for GMM were expensed as incurred, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and are reflected in the pro forma table above at the assumed acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs consisted of professional fees for advisory, consulting, and underwriting services as well as other incremental costs directly related to the acquisition.
Asset Acquisition
On May 30, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with a private entity to purchase certain customer contracts. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the contracts were acquired for total preliminary consideration of $7.6 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments.
The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The preliminary fair value of the net consideration is fully allocated to a payor network intangible asset recorded at the personal care segment and will be amortized over a period of 6 years.
4. Segments
The Company’s reportable segments are identified based on a number of factors related to how its chief operating decision maker ("CODM") determines the allocation of resources and assesses the performance of the Company’s operations. The Company's CODM manages the Company under four reportable segments.
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 - The Company's NEMT segment is its legacy segment and operates primarily under the brands ModivCare Solutions and Circulation. The NEMT segment is the largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation programs for state governments and managed care organizations, or MCOs, in the U.S. This segment also holds the results of the Company's captive insurance program.
•Personal Care - The Company's Personal Care segment began operations in November 2020 with the acquisition of Simplura and expanded in September 2021 with the acquisition of Care Finders. The Personal Care segment operates under the brands Simplura and Care Finders and provides personal care to State and Managed Medicaid, Medicare, and Private Pay patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing activities of daily living;
•RPM - The Company's RPM segment began operations in September 2021 with the acquisition of VRI and expanded in May 2022 with the acquisition of GMM. The RPM segment operates under the VRI brand and is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions, including personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions;
•Corporate and Other - Effective January 1, 2022, the Company completed its segment reorganization which resulted in the addition of a Corporate and Other segment that includes the costs associated with the Company's corporate operations. The operating results of the Corporate and Other segment include activities related to executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and corporate development functions for each segment, as well as the results of the Matrix investment. Prior to the segment reorganization, we reported the investment in Matrix as a separate operating segment, however based on the relative size of the Matrix investment and all related activity to the overall financial statements, the CODM no longer views it as a separate operating segment but reviews results in conjunction with the other corporate results of the business. The Company reclassified certain costs associated with this reorganization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, to conform to this presentation.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the operating income of the reportable segments, which includes an allocation of corporate expenses directly attributable to the specific segment and includes revenues and all other costs directly attributable to the specific segment.
The following table sets forth certain financial information from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s business segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

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 (per-member-per-month)
Under capitated contracts, payors pay a fixed amount per eligible member per month. Capitation rates are generally based on expected costs and volume of services. 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 payor’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 cost and/or trip volume and may result in refunds to the payor, or additional payments due from the payor. 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 payor. 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.
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 revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from clients, patients and third-party payors for services rendered based on actual personal care hours provided. 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 per-member-per-month Contracts
RPM per-member-per-month ("PMPM") 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.

Payor Information
Service revenue, net, is derived from state and managed Medicaid contracts, managed Medicare contracts, as well as a small amount from private pay and other contracts. Of the NEMT segment’s revenue, 10.4% and 10.8% were derived from one payor for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 11.0% and 9.7% were derived from one payor for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of the Personal Care segment's revenue, 12.1% and 12.0% were derived from one payor for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 12.0% and 13.0% were derived from one payor for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Credit Facility
On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuing bank, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as an issuing bank, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Regions Bank, Bank of Montreal and Capital One, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million. The New Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans, letters of credit and alternative currency loans in amounts of up to $25.0 million, $60.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively. The Company did not draw any amount of the New Credit Facility at closing of the New Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $38.0 million of outstanding
letters of credit under the New Credit Facility. The proceeds of the New Credit Facility may be used (i) to finance working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (including to finance capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and investments). The New Credit Facility replaces the Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement, which was terminated concurrently with the Company's entry into the New Credit Agreement.
Under the New Credit Facility, the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the New Credit Facility or obtain incremental term loans from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) by an aggregate amount of up to $175.0 million, plus an unlimited amount so long as the pro forma secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00, with either additional commitments from lenders under the New Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions approved by the Company and the administrative agent (which approval is not to be unreasonably withheld), so long as, at the time of any such increase, no default or event of default exists, the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the New Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and the Company is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants in the New Credit Agreement. The Company may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2027. The Company may prepay the New Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, each as defined in the New Credit Agreement. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the New Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by the Company at any time without penalty.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA Rate, as applicable and each as defined in the New Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.75% to 3.50% in the case of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, and 0.75% to 2.50% in the case of the Alternate Base Rate loans, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as defined in the New Credit Agreement. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears in the case of Alternate Base Rate loans, on the last day of the relevant interest period in the case of Term Benchmark loans, and monthly in arrears in the case of RFR loans. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of the revolving 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. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.30% to 0.50% and 1.75% to 3.50%, respectively, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. The Company is subject to financial covenants, including total net leverage and interest coverage covenants.
The Company’s obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s present and future material domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain material domestic subsidiaries that are excluded from being guarantors pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the New Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s or such guarantor’s respective assets. If an event of default occurs, the required lenders may cause the administrative agent to declare all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses under the New Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. All amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable upon the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. The New Credit Agreement also contains a cross default to any of the Company’s indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $40.0 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022.
10. Stock-Based Compensation and Similar Arrangements

The Company had 13,137 unvested RSAs and 85,369 unvested RSUs outstanding at September 30, 2022 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $94.44 and $113.19, respectively.
Performance-based share awards. These awards include RSUs and were initially issued in the first quarter of 2022. The purpose of these awards is to align management’s compensation with the Company's financial performance and other operational objectives and to retain key employees. Awards granted under this category are based on the achievement of various targeted metrics as defined by the Plan. Stock-based compensation expense related to these performance-based share awards ("PRSUs") is recognized over the 3-year vesting period under the straight-line attribution method. Related to the PRSUs, the Company recorded a reversal of $0.2 million of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to forfeitures that occurred during the period and recorded $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, with the remaining portion expected to be recognized over the remainder of the 3-year requisite service period. The Company had 18,663 unvested PRSUs outstanding at September 30, 2022 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $153.17.
In the second quarter of 2022, an Employee Stock Purchase Program ("ESPP") was approved by the Board of Directors and the Company's shareholders, which will allow employees to purchase Company stock at a discounted rate. The first offering period will begin in the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the effective tax rates were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.
13. 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, 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 lawsuit 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 had until January 3, 2022 to opt-in. Plaintiff moved for class certification on August 15, 2022, and ModivCare Solutions filed an opposition to class certification on September 6, 2022. ModivCare Solutions believes it will be able to successfully oppose class certification of this 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 sought to recover damages, fees and costs under the federal False Claims Act, including treble damages, civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. None of the Relators were employed by ModivCare Solutions. The federal government 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 filed an interlocutory appeal of this ruling with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals which was subsequently denied. The Relators and Modivcare tentatively agreed to settle the Relators' substantive claims in September 2022 and continue discussions concerning the Relators' counsel’s attorney fees. The settlement 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 filed its motion to oppose class certification of this matter and the matter was heard on June 23, 2022. A ruling should be issued by end-of-year. 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.

Overview of Our 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, connect members to care, help health plans manage risks, 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, which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations.
The technology-enabled operating model includes NEMT core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transportation 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 meal delivery and working with communities to provide food-insecure individuals delivery of meals.
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.
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;
•increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses that require active and ongoing monitoring of health data which can be accomplished at a lower cost and result in better health outcomes through remote patient monitoring services;
•a movement towards value-based care versus fee-for-service and cost plus 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 remote monitoring 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
•State Medicaid programs, 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 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.
Since March 2020 and primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have observed a material reduction in trip volume in our NEMT segment as a result of state imposed public health orders and other pandemic impacts that have driven structural changes in the industry, predominantly related to an increase in the utilization of telehealth and virtual care. This reduction in trip volume has had a negative financial impact on our transportation providers and may impact the availability of transportation providers in the future given the heightened sanitation requirements imposed on drivers and depressed volume.
Our Personal Care segment has experienced and is expected to continue to experience a material reduction in volume of service hours and visits. Volume has been reduced as members put services on hold due to infection concerns, and/or because they had the alternative of receiving care from family members and other caregivers working remotely. Additionally, the strain on healthcare professionals as a result of the pandemic has led to a shortage of caregivers which will continue to impact the volume of service hours that can be provided. These depressed volumes will continue to result in lower than expected revenue, at least in the near term, in the Personal Care segment.
Our RPM segment has not experienced a direct material impact to operations or financial activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While this segment of the business has proven resilient given the increase in demand for remote healthcare services in a highly contagious infection environment, potential risks could arise that could have a material impact on the financial results of the segment. Specifically, given the strain on the healthcare professionals that serve the healthcare community, we could experience shortages in qualified medical professionals that support our remote care monitoring business.
Furthermore, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is continuously evolving, and the continuation of the pandemic, any additional resurgence, or COVID-19 variants could continue to change trends in the market.
Our business environment is a highly competitive and volatile market and based on current results, may not realize their long-term forecast. The Company continues to monitor the performance of the business versus the long-term forecast, among other relevant considerations, to determine if any impairments exist. Our management has continued to refine their business strategy throughout the year in order to address the highly competitive and volatile business environment but there are no guarantees that such efforts will result in the Company meeting their long-term forecast. Accordingly, the Company believes there is an elevated risk of impairment.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. For further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Change in Accounting Estimate
During the first quarter, the Company completed an assessment of the useful lives of our intangible assets and adjusted the estimated useful life of the Simplura trademarks and trade names intangible asset from 10 years to 3 years and adjusted the estimated useful life of the payor network from 15 years to 10 years effective as of January 1, 2022. This change was driven by strategic shifts in the Company's personal care segment operations, partially contributed to by the acquisition of Care Finders. Based on the intangible asset values as of December 31, 2021, the effect of the change in estimate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was an increase in amortization expense of $3.6 million, a decrease in net income of $2.4 million, and a decrease in earnings per share of $0.17 per diluted common share outstanding, and an increase in amortization expense of $10.7 million, a decrease in net income of $8.4 million, and a decrease in earnings per share of $0.60 per diluted common share outstanding, respectively.
Results of Operations
The following results of operations include the accounts of ModivCare Inc. and our subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Revenues
Service revenue, net. Service revenue for our NEMT segment includes contracts predominately with state Medicaid agencies and MCOs for the coordination of their members’ non-emergency transportation needs. Most contracts are capitated, which means we are paid on a per-member, per-month basis for each eligible member. For most contracts, we arrange for transportation of members through our network of independent transportation providers, whereby we negotiate rates and remit payment to the transportation providers. However, for certain contracts, we assume no risk for the transportation network, credentialing and/or payments to these providers. For these contracts, we only provide administrative management services to support the customers’ efforts to serve their clients.
Certain other contracts are structured as fee-for-service ("FFS") 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 and policy discounts in the case of third-party payors.
Service revenue for our Personal Care segment includes hours incurred by our in-home caregivers that are billed to our customers. Our customers consist of third-party payors including, but not limited to, MCOs, hospitals, Medicaid agencies and programs and other home health care providers who subcontract the services of our caregivers.
Service revenue for our RPM segment includes the sale of monitoring equipment to our third-party distributors as well as hours incurred by our Clinical Team for providing monitoring services that are billed to our customers. Our customers consist of national and regional health plans, government-funded benefit programs, healthcare provider organizations, and individuals.
Grant Income
Grant Income. The Company has received distributions under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund ("PRF") and the ARPA Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Relief Fund ("SLFRF") targeted to providing economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operating Expenses
Service expense. Service Expense for our NEMT segment includes purchased transportation, operational payroll and other operational related costs. Purchased transportation includes the amounts we pay to third-party service providers and is typically dependent upon service volume. Operational payroll predominately includes our contact center operations, customer advocacy and transportation network team. Other operating expenses primarily include operational overhead costs, and operating facilities and related charges. Service expense for our Personal Care segment includes payroll and other operational related costs for our caregivers to provide in-home care. Service expense for our RPM segment primarily consists of salaries of employees in our contact centers, connectivity costs and occupancy costs.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for all segments consists principally of salaries for administrative employees that indirectly support the operations, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation within this caption includes infrastructure items such as computer hardware and software, office equipment, monitoring and vitals equipment, buildings, and leasehold improvements. Amortization expense is generated primarily from amortization of our intangible assets, including payor networks, trade names, developed technology, a non-compete agreement, an assembled workforce, and a New York LHCSA permit.
Other Expenses
Interest expense, net. Interest expense consists principally of interest payments made during the period ended September 30, 2022 on the Company’s borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2022 under the Credit Facility and Senior Unsecured Notes, and amortization of deferred financing fees. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion of these borrowings.
Equity in net loss (income) of investee, net of tax. Equity in earnings of equity method investee consists of our proportionate share of equity earnings or losses from our Matrix equity investment, presented net of related taxes.
Income tax provision. The Company is subject to federal taxation in the United States and state taxation in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Results of Operations
Segment reporting. Our segments reflect the manner in which our operations are organized and reviewed by management. Segment results are based on how our CODM manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance.
We operate four reportable business segments: NEMT, Personal Care, RPM, and Corporate and Other. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company completed its segment reorganization which resulted in the addition of a Corporate and Other segment that includes the costs associated with the Company's corporate operations. The operating results of the Corporate and Other segment include activities related to executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and corporate development functions for each segment, as well as the results of the Matrix investment. Prior to the segment reorganization, we reported the investment in Matrix as a separate operating segment, however based on the relative size of the Matrix investment and all related activity to the overall financial statements, the CODM no longer views it as a separate operating segment but reviews results in conjunction with the other corporate results of the business.
The NEMT segment consists of our legacy operations, which provides non-emergency medical transportation services throughout the country. The Personal Care segment provides non-medical personal care and home health services and is composed of the operations from two acquisitions: Simplura on November 18, 2020, and Care Finders on September 14, 2021. The RPM segment provides remote patient monitoring solutions and was developed through our acquisition of VRI on September 22, 2021 and expanded through our acquisition of GMM on May 11, 2022. The operating results of the NEMT, Personal Care and RPM segments include revenue and expenses generated and incurred by the segment.
See Note 4, Segments, in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our segments.

Service revenue, net. Consolidated service revenue, net for Q3 2022 increased $154.7 million, or 31.4%, compared to Q3 2021. Service revenue, net, for our NEMT segment increased by $86.8 million, primarily due to higher membership and trip volume when compared to Q3 2021. Service revenue, net, further increased by $50.7 million for our Personal Care segment, of which $34.5 million was related to the inclusion of the incremental operating results of Care Finders which was acquired in September 2021. Service revenue, net increased due to the inclusion of an incremental $17.2 million for our RPM segment as a result of the operating results of VRI which was acquired in September 2021 and GMM which was acquired in May 2022. See our Results of Operations, Segments, for further discussion.
Grant income. The Company recognized grant income of approximately $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 related to grants from the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF targeted to provide economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds were received by our Personal Care segment and are available to eligible providers who diagnose, test, or care for individuals with possible or actual cases of COVID-19, and have health care related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19.
Service expense. Service expense components are shown below (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, |
| 2022 | | 2021 |
| Amount | | % of Revenue | | Amount | | % of Revenue |
Purchased services | $ | 340,138 | | | 52.5 | % | | $ | 256,750 | | | 52.1 | % |
Payroll and related costs | 181,563 | | | 28.0 | % | | 131,977 | | | 26.8 | % |
Other service expenses | 12,862 | | | 2.0 | % | | 10,545 | | | 2.1 | % |
Total service expense | $ | 534,563 | | | 82.5 | % | | $ | 399,272 | | | 81.0 | % |
Service expense for Q3 2022 increased $135.3 million, or 33.9%, compared to Q3 2021 primarily due to higher purchased services costs in the NEMT segment of $83.4 million driven by higher third-party transportation costs. Transportation and payroll costs increased primarily as a result of higher trip volume across multiple contracts and higher wage rates. This increase was also driven by higher service expense of $38.6 million in our Personal Care segment, of which $25.6 million is related to the Care Finders acquisition in September 2021. The remaining increase is primarily related to higher wage rates across all segments.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for Q3 2022 increased $7.7 million, or 11.3%, compared to Q3 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $11.1 million in general and administrative costs related to the operations of Care Finders in the Personal Care segment which was acquired during September 2021, and VRI and GMM in the RPM segment, which were acquired during September 2021 and May 2022, respectively. This was partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense for the corporate segment by $6.1 million. See our Results of Operations, Segments for further discussion.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for Q3 2022 increased $13.1 million or 103.6% compared to Q3 2021 primarily as a result of $7.7 million of additional amortization in the Personal Care and RPM segments associated with intangible assets purchased in the Care Finders, VRI, and GMM acquisitions, and $3.6 million of additional amortization in the Personal Care segment related to additional amortization for Simplura intangible assets due to a change in useful life estimate. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, for Q3 2022 and Q3 2021 was $15.6 million and $17.7 million, respectively. Interest expense decreased as a result of a bridge loan commitment fee of $6.6 million incurred in Q3 2021 related to the VRI acquisition with no comparable fee in Q3 2022. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $4.1 million associated with the issuance of $500.0 million of Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 ("the 2029 Notes"), issued in August 2021. During Q3 2022, we incurred $8.0 million of interest expense related to the Notes due 2025 and $6.6 million related to the Notes due 2029. The remainder of the interest expense in Q3 2022 is related to interest and fees on the credit facility. Interest expense is recorded at our Corporate and Other segment.
Equity in net loss of investee, net of tax. Our equity in net loss of investee, net of tax, for Q3 2022 of $26.4 million and our equity in net loss of investee, net of tax, of $4.8 million for Q3 2021 was a result of our proportional share of the net income or loss of Matrix and our investment in a captive insurance program. This loss was primarily related to an asset impairment that occurred at Matrix during Q3 2022 of $82.2 million.
Benefit for income taxes. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for Q3 2022 and Q3 2021 were tax benefits of 33.9% and 42.3%, respectively. For Q3 2022 and Q3 2021, the effective tax rates were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.

Service revenue, net. Consolidated service revenue, net, for YTD 2022 increased $429.4 million, or 30.2%, compared to YTD 2021. Service revenue, net, for the NEMT segment increased by $228.3 million, primarily due to higher membership and trip volume when compared to YTD 2021, as both membership and trip volume were depressed in the prior year due to the impact of COVID-19. Service revenue, net, further increased by $153.3 million for our Personal Care segment, of which $121.2 million was related to the inclusion of the incremental operating results of Care Finders which was acquired in September 2021. Service revenue, net increased due to the inclusion of an incremental $47.8 million for our RPM segment as a result of the operating results of VRI which was acquired in September 2021 and expanded with the acquisition of GMM in May 2022. See our Results of Operations, Segments, for further discussion.
Grant income. The Company recognized income of approximately $4.6 million for YTD 2022 compared to $3.5 million during YTD 2021 related to grants from the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF targeted to providing economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds were received by our Personal Care segment and are available to eligible providers who diagnose, test, or care for individuals with possible or actual cases of COVID-19, and have health care related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19.

Service expense for YTD 2022 increased $358.9 million, or 31.5%, compared to YTD 2021 due to higher purchased services of $210.2 million related to an increase in transportation costs for the NEMT segment. Payroll and related costs increased by $140.8 million, primarily related to incremental costs of $98.3 million in the Personal Care and RPM segments due to the acquisitions of Care Finders and VRI in September 2021 and GMM in May 2022, as well as increased labor costs across all segments.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for YTD 2022 increased $52.5 million, or 29.2%, compared to YTD 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $39.9 million in general and administrative costs related to the operations of Care Finders in the Personal Care segment which was acquired during September 2021, and VRI and GMM in the RPM segment which were acquired during September 2021 and May 2022, respectively. See our Results of Operations, Segments, for further discussion.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for YTD 2022 increased $37.7 million or 102.8% compared to YTD 2021 primarily as a result of intangibles brought on under the Care Finders and VRI acquisitions in September 2021 and the GMM acquisition in May 2022. See Note 3, Acquisitions.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for YTD 2022 increased $12.0 million compared to YTD 2021 as a result of the incremental interest activity of $17.4 million from the $500.0 million Senior Notes due 2029 that were issued in August 2021. The increase in interest was partially offset by the $6.6 million bridge loan commitment fee incurred in Q3 2021 related to the VRI acquisition with no comparable fee for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For YTD 2022, we incurred $24.1 million and $19.9 million of interest expense related to the Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029, respectively. The remainder of the interest expense during YTD 2022 is related to interest and fees on the credit facility. Interest expense is recorded at our Corporate and Other segment.
Equity in net loss of investee, net of tax. For YTD 2022, our equity in net loss of investee is $28.0 million, compared to net loss for YTD 2021 of $1.4 million, as a result of our proportional share of the net income or loss of Matrix and our investment in a captive insurance program. This loss was primarily related to an asset impairment that occurred at Matrix during Q3 2022 of $82.2 million.
Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for YTD 2022 and YTD 2021 were provisions of 21.7% and 24.2%, respectively. The YTD 2022 and YTD 2021 effective tax rates were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and certain nondeductible expenses.

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 MCOs in the U.S.
Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net, increased by $86.8 million and 23.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to a 16.1% increase in trip volume, a 22.6% increase in average monthly membership and higher rates per member as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Service revenue, net, increased by $228.3 million and 21.1%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily attributable to a 13.8% increase in both trip volume and average monthly membership, and higher rates per member as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Trip volume increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to 2021, as trip volume was depressed in the prior year due to the impact of COVID-19. The increase in average monthly membership drove higher revenue because 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. However, we also have certain capitated 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. The increase in trip volume also increases revenue for our contracts that are structured as fee-for-service as higher trip volumes correlates with a larger number of services performed.

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 $90.6 million and 29.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily related to higher purchased services of $83.4 million related to an increase in transportation costs due to higher trip volume in the current year. Service expense increased by $231.3 million and 26.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in purchased services of $210.2 million for the same reason as stated above.
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 $1.9 million and 6.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. General and administrative expense increased
by $16.8 million and 19.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of higher salary costs and legal expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.4 million and 5.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.2 million and 0.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Both changes are primarily the result of certain intangible assets at Circulation being fully amortized during the second half of 2021.

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 and 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. The quarter over quarter fluctuations include incremental changes from the acquisition of Care Finders, as the acquisition was completed on September 14, 2021 and contributed minimal activity in 2021 compared to a full year of activity in 2022.
Service revenue, net. Personal care service contracts are generally structured as fee-for-service contracts, with revenue driven by hours worked by our personal care providers. Service revenue, net increased by $50.7 million or 42.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021, primarily due to incremental revenue from the Care Finders acquisition of $34.5 million. The remainder of the increase in service revenue is attributable to Simplura, due to higher hours worked by personal care providers in Q3 2022 as compared to Q3 2021 as well as the asset acquisition completed in Q2 2022, as disclosed in Note 3, Acquisitions, which allowed the Company to service the additional acquired contracts. Service revenue, net increased by $153.3 million or 45.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021, primarily due to incremental revenue from the Care Finders acquisition of $121.2 million.
Grant Income. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income for distributions of the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF targeted to providing economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic of $0.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

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. Service expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $38.6 million and 41.1% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a
result of incremental expense of $25.6 million related to the Care Finders acquisition. Service expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $110.5 million and 41.1% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of incremental expense of $90.9 million related to the Care Finders acquisition. The remainder of the increase is related to increased pay rates for the personal care providers for the Simplura business as well as servicing additional contracts acquired through the asset acquisition completed in Q2 2022, as disclosed in Note 3, Acquisitions, .
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 $6.3 million and 39.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily related to incremental costs from the acquisition of Care Finders of $5.5 million. General and administrative expense increased by $22.9 million and 50.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily related to incremental costs from the acquisition of Care Finders of $22.6 million.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $8.0 million and 163.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, and increased by $23.3 million and 157.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to 2021. The increase in this expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily due to amortization expense on the intangible assets brought on under the Care Finders acquisition of $3.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is also driven by the additional amortization expense of $3.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively, related to the change in useful lives of Simplura intangible assets as discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Our Remote Patient Monitoring segment was established in September 2021 with the acquisition of VRI and expanded in May 2022 with the acquisition of GMM. The RPM segment 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. The quarterly and annual fluctuations as of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are not meaningful as the segment only contributed minimal activity in 2021 and a full year of activity in 2022.
Service revenue, net. RPM contracts are generally structured as a fee per enrolled member per month, and therefore revenue is generally driven by number of enrolled members. Service revenue, net, from managed Medicare contracts accounted for 19.5% and 21.4% of service revenue, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, while state and managed Medicaid program contracts accounted for 62.7% and 60.6% of service revenue, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The remainder of the RPM segment revenue is derived from private pay and other contracts.

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.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of amortization expense on the intangible assets brought on during the acquisition as well as depreciation on the fixed assets acquired.

Our Corporate and Other segment was established beginning January 1, 2022 as a result of a segment reorganization completed by the Company. The Company's Corporate and Other segment includes the Company's executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal, public reporting, and corporate development functions. This segment also includes the results of our equity investment in Matrix.
Our Corporate and Other segment holds costs incurred related to strategy and stewardship of the other operating segments. These expenses are primarily general and administrative expenses, with a small amount related to depreciation. The general and administrative expense decreased by $6.1 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a lower bonus accrual in the current year and lower stock based compensation due to executive departure.
Seasonality
Our NEMT segment's 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 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 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 revenue contract start-up costs and costs associated with our strategic initiatives. We expect to meet our short-term cash requirements through available cash
on hand, cash generated from operations, net of capital expenditures, and borrowing from time to time under our New Credit Facility. For information regarding our long-term capital requirements, see below under the caption “Liquidity”.
Cash flow from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $45.5 million. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $72.7 million and $133.4 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We had restricted cash of $0.3 million at December 31, 2021 and an immaterial amount at September 30, 2022. Restricted cash amounts are not included in our balance of cash and cash equivalents in the unaudited 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.
We may, from time to time, access capital markets to raise equity or debt financing for various business reasons, including acquisitions, repurchases of our common stock, investments in our business and possible refinancing activity. 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 2022 cash flows compared to YTD 2021
Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $45.5 million and $174.7 million for YTD 2022 and YTD 2021, respectively. The decrease of $129.2 million was primarily a result of a decrease in cash provided by changes in working capital of $127.7 million. The working capital changes were related to a decrease in the change in accrued contract payables of $189.7 million primarily related to repayments and lower liability reserves on certain risk corridor, profit rebate and reconciliation contracts due to higher trip volumes during YTD 2022. Also contributing to the decrease in working capital is a decrease in the change in accrued transportation costs of $25.5 million primarily related to decreased cycle time to pay our transportation providers therefore decreasing the accrued transportation costs in YTD 2022 compared to YTD 2021. These working capital decreases were partially offset by an increase in the accounts payable and accrued expenses balance of $46.4 million primarily related to timing of vendor payments and and an increase in the accounts receivable balance of $41.1 million, primarily related to receivables recorded on our reconciliation and corridor contracts.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities of $104.4 million in YTD 2022 decreased by $576.7 million as compared to YTD 2021 primarily as a result of a decrease in cash spent on acquisitions of $588.4 million. This is due to the Company's acquisitions of WellRyde, Care Finders, and VRI in YTD 2021 compared to only the purchase of GMM and an asset acquisition in 2022.
Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities of $1.8 million in YTD 2022 decreased by $451.5 million as compared to net cash provided by financing activities during YTD 2021 of $449.7 million. The change was primarily due to the Company issuing senior notes during August 2021 for $500.0 million offset by the Company not participating in a stock repurchase program during YTD 2022 as compared to YTD 2021 during which cash paid to repurchase common stock was $39.0 million. See Note 11, Earnings Per Share, for further information on the stock buyback.
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”). Subsequently, on August 24, 2021, the Company issued an additional $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due on October 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029” and, together with the Senior Notes due 2025, the “Notes”). 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 proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2025 were used to fund a portion of the Company’s acquisition of Simplura and the proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2029 were used to fund a portion of the Company’s acquisition of VRI.
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 senior indebtedness, are effectively subordinated to any of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the New 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 Notes at their applicable annual rates until maturity. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2025 is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2029 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 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.
New Credit Facility. On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuing bank, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as an issuing bank, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Regions Bank, Bank of Montreal and Capital One, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million. The New Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans, letters of credit and alternative currency loans in amounts of up to $25.0 million, $60.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively. The Company did not draw any amount of the New Credit Facility at closing of the New Credit Agreement. At closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company had $22.8 million of outstanding letters of credit under the New Credit Facility. The proceeds of the New Credit Facility may be used (i) to finance working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (including to finance capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and investments). The New Credit Facility replaces the Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement, which was terminated concurrently with the Company's entry into the New Credit Agreement.
Under the New Credit Facility the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the New Credit Facility or obtain incremental term loans from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) by an aggregate amount of up to $175.0 million, plus an unlimited amount so long as the pro forma secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00, with either additional commitments from lenders under the New Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions approved by the Company and the administrative agent (which approval is not to be unreasonably withheld), so long as, at the time of any such increase, no default or event of default exists, the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the New Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and the Company is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants in the New Credit Agreement. The Company may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2027. The Company may prepay the New Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, each as defined in the New Credit Agreement. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the New Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by the Company at any time without penalty.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA Rate, as applicable and each as defined in the New Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.75% to 3.50% in the case of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, and 0.75% to 2.50% in the case of the Alternate Base Rate loans, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as defined in the New Credit Agreement. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears in the case of Alternate Base Rate loans, on the last day of the relevant interest period in the case of Term Benchmark loan, and monthly in arrears in the case of RFR loans. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of the revolving 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. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.30% to 0.50% and 1.75% to 3.50%, respectively, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. The Company is subject to financial covenants, including total net leverage and interest coverage covenants.
The Company’s obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s present and future material domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain material domestic subsidiaries that are excluded from being guarantors pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the New Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s or such guarantor’s respective assets. If an event of default occurs, the required lenders may cause the administrative agent to declare all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses under the New Credit Facility to be immediately
due and payable. All amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable upon the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. The New Credit Agreement also contains a cross default to any of the Company’s indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $40.0 million.
We were in compliance with all covenants under the New Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022.
Liquidity
Liquidity measures our ability to meet current and future cash flow needs on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We manage our liquidity position to meet our daily cash flow needs, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash of $72.7 million and accounts receivable and other receivables of $272.3 million. Liquid liabilities totaled $667.0 million at period end as detailed in the table below. Other sources of liquidity include our New Credit Facility of $325.0 million.
In the ordinary course of business we have entered into contractual obligations and have made other commitments to make future payments. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations of $45.5 million, debt financing, and our New Credit Facility of $325.0 million. For additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements— Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” included in Part I, Item I of this report.
The Company has cash requirements of $667.0 million due in one year or less in addition to $1,319.3 million due in more than one year as of September 30, 2022. The following is a summary of our future cash requirements for the next twelve months and the period extending beyond twelve months as of September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

(1)See Note 9 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further detail of our Senior Unsecured Notes and the timing of expected future payments. Interest payments are typically paid semi-annually in arrears and have been calculated at the rates fixed as of September 30, 2022.
(2)See Note 5 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further detail of our contracts payable.
(3)See Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on February 28, 2022 for further detail of our accrued transportation cost.
(4)See Note 12 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further detail of our deferred tax liabilities.
(5)The operating leases are for office space. Certain leases contain periodic rent escalation adjustments and renewal options. See Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on February 28, 2022 for further detail of our operating leases.
(6)Letters of credit (“LOCs”) are guarantees of potential payments to third parties under certain conditions. Guarantees include surety bonds we provide to certain customers to protect against potential non-delivery of our non-emergency transportation services. Our LOCs shown in the table were provided by our Credit Facility and reduced our availability under the related Credit Agreement. The surety bonds and LOC amounts in the above table represent the amount of commitment expiration per period.
(7)These include other current liabilities reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022, including accounts payable and accrued expenses as detailed at Note 8 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements”.
Our primary sources of funding include operating cash flows and access to capital markets. There are statutory, regulatory, and debt covenant limitations that affect our ability to access the capital market for funds. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations. Management continuously monitors our liquidity position and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Our management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, our management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on us.
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, 2021.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We have exposure to interest rate risk mainly related to our New Credit Facility, which has variable interest rates that may increase. We had $38.0 million of outstanding letters of credit under the New Credit Facility at September 30, 2022.
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, 2022. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer has 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 officer, 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 officer also conducted an evaluation of whether any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect such control. Such officer has concluded that no such changes have occurred, other than those efforts related to the remediation of the material weaknesses identified at December 31, 2021.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our management continued updating certain internal controls and supporting processes to address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The remediation plan put into place by management includes the hiring of a third party to lead the remediation efforts as well as the addition of resources within the organization to improve structure and help mitigate risks previously identified. Key focus areas have been identified as general information technology control (GITC) deficiencies, payroll controls, revenue process controls and risk assessment related controls.
To date, management has provided enhanced control training for control owners, and has designed and is in process of implementing our improved processes and related controls in the areas stated above. Management has also enhanced the organizational structure of the personal care segment to ensure accountability and control compliance. Management will continue to monitor the progress of these efforts to ensure timely remediation.
(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 13, Commitments and Contingencies, 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, 2021 (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.
