1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
ModivCare Inc. ("ModivCare" or the "Company") is a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for public and private payors and their members. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health ("SDoH") by connecting members to essential care services. By doing so, ModivCare helps health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve health outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation ("NEMT"), personal care services ("PCS"), and remote patient monitoring solutions ("RPM"), which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model in its NEMT segment includes the coordination of non-emergency medical transportation services supported by an infrastructure of core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing and claims management. Additionally, its personal care services in its PCS segment 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. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring solutions in its RPM segment include the monitoring of personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions.
ModivCare also holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operate under the Matrix Medical Network brand (“Matrix”). Matrix, which is included in the Corporate and Other segment, maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services.
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 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, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. 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, 2023 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, 2023.
Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Management's Liquidity Plans and Going Concern Considerations
ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, requires Management to assess a Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of financial statement issuance and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Since February 26, 2024, the date the Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC, the Company has faced a lengthened time interval between earning revenue and collecting receivables under outstanding contracts with some customers due to complexities in Medicare, Medicaid, and nongovernmental payor arrangements. This prolonged interval between the Company fulfilling its performance obligations and collecting the cash owed for its services from its customers, which the Company historically has not experienced to this extent, has lengthened collection periods and increased the uncertainty concerning the timing of the collection of these corresponding outstanding contract receivables.
As of the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Management determined that the extended collection periods and uncertainty concerning the timing of the collection of outstanding contract receivables has changed the Company’s forecasts of its ability to meet certain financial covenants in its debt instruments, specifically related to the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant in the amended Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 9, Debt). As a result, it has been determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they come due within one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
While the Company continues to monitor cash generated from operations, available credit, and other liquid assets, sustaining operations relies heavily on the timely collection of contract receivables, which were approximately $110.4 million at September 30, 2024, and compliance with the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant in its Credit Agreement, as amended to date. Failure to meet this covenant or others could cause obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9, Debt), the Term Loan Facility (as defined in Note 9, Debt), and the Company’s Notes due 2029 (as defined in Note 9, Debt), to become immediately due and payable, and the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy such obligations. In such event, the Company would expect to be required to restructure its existing debt or seek additional equity or debt financing to meet its obligations and maintain its existence as a going concern.
To address compliance with the financial covenants in the Company's debt instruments for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Fourth Amendment") to its Credit Agreement on September 30, 2024. This amendment increased the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the amended Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Relief Period") to 6.50:1.00 from 5.25:1.00. As a result of the Fourth Amendment, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under the Credit Agreement for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, at which time the Company's Total Net Leverage Ratio was 5.59:1.00. The Company did not amend its Total Net Leverage Ratio for periods beyond September 30, 2024 and may need to do so in order to remain compliant with its covenants for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and beyond.
Management intends to undertake additional actions including continued discussions with its bank group on a collaborative long-term relief amendment to support ongoing compliance with its financial covenants and take other measures to further address these issues, support the funding of operations and improve liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that any long-term relief amendment or additional funds will be available when needed on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, or in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to satisfy its obligations or sustain operations in the future.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
On May 11, 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") declared the end of the public health emergency ("PHE") for the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company has continued to experience increased trip volume, service hours, and caregiver visits each year following the pandemic, structural changes in the industry as a result of the pandemic, as well as ongoing constraints on the labor market, specifically related to the strain on healthcare professionals, could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company continues to actively monitor the structural changes to the industry and the impact these have on the business and results of operations with emphasis on protecting the health and safety of its employees, maximizing the availability of its services and products to support 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"). Through ARPA the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund ("SLFRF") was established to send relief payments to state and local governments impacted by the pandemic to assist with responding to the 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 the Company is able to attest to and comply with any terms and conditions of such funding, as applicable. See discussion of government grants at Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
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.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels based on the observability of inputs are defined as follows:
–Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in active markets as of the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
–Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
–Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (net of allowance for credit losses), current assets and current liabilities was equal to or approximated fair value due to their short-term nature or proximity to current market rates. Fair values for the Company's publicly traded debt securities are based on quoted market prices, when available, and for the Company's nonpublic debt are based on lender quotes, when available. See Note 9, Debt, for the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) the loss or modification of significant contracts, (2) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (3) unanticipated competition, (4) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or (5) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price.
When evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company first performs qualitative assessments for each reporting unit to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment suggests that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs a quantitative assessment and compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value and to the extent the carrying value is greater than the fair value, the difference is recorded as an impairment in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company completed its annual goodwill test on July 1 during which it performed a quantitative test comparing the carrying value of the Company's reporting units with their respective fair value. The fair value of the Company's reporting units was estimated using both the income approach and the market valuation approach. The income approach produces an estimated fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of the cash flows the Company expects the reporting unit to generate in the future. Estimates included in the discounted cash flow model are primarily Level 3 inputs and include the discount rate, which the Company determines based on adjusting an industry-wide weighted-average cost of capital for size, geography, and company specific risk factors, long-term rates of growth and profitability of the Company’s business, working capital effects and planned capital expenditures. The market approach produces an estimated fair value of a reporting unit based on a comparison of the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded entities in similar lines of business. The Company’s significant estimates in the market approach include the selected similar companies with comparable business factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and return on investment and the multiples the Company applies to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit.
During the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a $105.3 million impairment of goodwill within its RPM reporting unit and an aggregate $183.1 million impairment of goodwill within its PCS and RPM reporting units, respectively. For both periods, the Company determined that based on its qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, factors existed which required the Company to test its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional details.
Internal-use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements
The Company develops and implements software for internal use to enhance the performance and capabilities of the technology infrastructure. The costs incurred for the development of the internal-use software are capitalized when they meet the internal-use software capitalization criteria outlined in ASC 350-40 and are included within "Property and equipment, net" on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, ranging from 3 to 10 years. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, capitalized costs associated with the internal-use software, net of accumulated amortization were $26.3 million and $21.3 million, respectively. The amount of accumulated amortization as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $6.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $1.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, totaled $4.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
In addition to acquired software, the Company capitalizes costs associated with cloud computing arrangements (“CCA”) that are service contracts. The CCA include services which are used to support certain internal corporate functions as well as technology associated with revenue-generating activities. The capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related CCA. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, capitalized costs associated with CCA, net of accumulated amortization were $12.4 million and $14.6 million, respectively. The amount of accumulated amortization as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $9.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, totaled $1.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, totaled $3.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it transfers promised services directly to its customers at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing these services. The Company's performance obligations are driven by its different segments of business and primarily consist of integrated service offerings to provide non-emergency medical transportation, personal care services, or remote monitoring services directly to its customers. The Company receives payment for providing these services from third-party payors that include federal, state, and local governmental agencies, managed care organizations, and private consumers. In the NEMT segment, the Company's performance obligation is to stand ready to perform transportation-related activities, including the management, fulfillment, and recordkeeping activities associated with such services. In the PCS segment, the Company's performance obligation is to deliver patient care services in accordance with the nature and frequency of services outlined in each contract. In the RPM segment, the Company's performance obligation is to stand ready to perform monitoring services in the form of personal emergency response system monitoring, vitals monitoring, and other monitoring services, as contractually agreed upon. The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations over time and recognizes revenue over time instead of at points in time which aligns the pattern of transfer of promised services with the value received by the customer for the performance completed to date.
The Company holds different contract types under its different segments of business. In the NEMT segment, there are both capitated contracts, under which payors pay a fixed amount monthly per eligible member and revenue is recognized over each distinct service period, and fee-for-service ("FFS") contracts, under which the Company bills and collects a specified
amount for each service that is provided and revenue is recognized using the right to invoice practical expedient. In the PCS segment, contracts are also FFS and service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from patients and third-party payors for services rendered and revenue is recognized using the right to invoice practical expedient. Under RPM contracts, payors pay per-enrolled-member-per-month, based on enrolled membership, and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. For each contract type, the Company determines the transaction price based on the gross charges for services provided, reduced by estimates for contractual adjustments due to settlements of audits and payment reviews from third-party payors. The Company determines the estimated revenue adjustments at each segment based on its historical experience with various third-party payors and previous results from the claims and adjudication process. The PCS segment uses the portfolio approach to determine the estimated revenue adjustments. See further information in Note 4, Revenue Recognition.
Government Grants
The Company periodically receives government grants and other forms of government assistance which are not generated from the Company's contractual performance obligations under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Funding received from governmental entities under government programs generally requires that the recipient attests to and complies with certain terms and conditions of receiving the funding. Government grant distributions have been received primarily under the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF to provide economic relief and stimulus to address the health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as from other entities that provide funds with specific stipulations on the usage of these funds. Distributions received are targeted to assist with incremental health care related expenses or lost revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and provide stimulus to support long-term growth and recovery. When received, these government grants are generally recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" until the time at which there is reasonable assurance the conditions of the grant will be met, at which point they can be recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Once recognized, the Company records the funds as "Grant income" if the grant is related to the loss of revenues or as an offset to "Service expense" if the grant is used to offset certain costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. The Company received grant distributions of $2.2 million and $6.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company received grant distributions of $16.2 million and $21.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, no funds were recognized as grant income and $1.2 million and $19.1 million, respectively, were recognized as an offset to "Service expense." During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, were recognized as grant income and $0.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, were recognized as an offset to "Service expense". The remaining balance is recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in the "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" line item until the conditions for recognition have been met. See further information in Note 8, Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities.
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, among other things, that the funds are being used for healthcare related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19, as defined by HHS. All recipients of PRF payments are required to comply with the reporting requirements described in the terms and conditions and as determined by HHS. The Company has submitted the required documents to meet reporting requirements for the applicable reporting periods. The Company received an audit inquiry letter from HHS related to one of the business units that received PRF payments. In response, the Company has submitted all requested information and believes that the payments received are substantiated and within the terms and conditions defined by HHS. The Company continues to recognize these amounts as grant income. At this time, the Company is unaware of any other pending or upcoming audits or inquiries related to amounts received under PRF.
As a condition of receiving SLFRF distributions, 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 reductions in revenue due to the COVID-19 PHE as stipulated by the states in which the funds were received. All recipients of SLFRF distributions are required to comply with the reporting requirements that the state in which the funds originated requests, 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 is in the process of complying with all known reporting requirements to date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt are as follows:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). This update improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses. The enhancements under this update require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each
reported measure of segment profit or loss, require disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment and a description of the composition of other segment items, require annual disclosures under ASC 280 to be provided in interim periods, clarify use of more than one measure of segment profit or loss by the CODM, require that the title of the CODM be disclosed with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to make decisions, and require that entities with a single reportable segment provide all disclosures required by this update and required under ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). This update enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures including updates to the disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. These updates improve transparency by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and requiring income taxes paid to be disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
3. Segments
The Company’s reportable segments are identified based on a number of factors related to how its CODM determines the allocation of resources and assesses the performance of the Company’s operations. The CODM uses service revenue, net, and operating income or loss as the measures of gross revenue and profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources, and uses total assets as the measure of assets attributable to each segment. The Company's operating income for the reportable segments includes an allocated portion of corporate expenses to the respective segments and includes revenues and all other costs directly attributable to the specific segment.
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 segment has its own revenue generating activities and core business processes in order to serve the varying needs of its members, which requires different technology and strategies to execute. The Company's CODM manages the Company under four reportable segments.
•NEMT - The Company's 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;
•PCS - The Company's PCS segment provides in home personal care services 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 is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions, including personal emergency response systems monitoring, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions;
•Corporate and Other - The Company's Corporate and Other segment includes the costs associated with the Company's corporate operations as well as the results of an investment in innovation related to data analytics capabilities that the Company made at the end of the first quarter of 2023, which contributes to service revenue and service expense. 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, the results of this investment in innovation, as well as the results of the Company's Matrix investment.

4. 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 over time 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. The Company assumes 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 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 the Company reaches profit level thresholds or maximums, it discontinues recognizing revenue and instead records 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 a receivable 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 the Company bills and collects a specified amount for each service that it provides. FFS revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered and is reduced by the estimated impact of contractual allowances.
PCS Fee-for-service Contracts
PCS 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 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 revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term based on the monthly fee paid by customers.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company tests goodwill for impairment for its reporting units annually as of July 1, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable.
Goodwill
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company determined that based on its qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, factors existed which required the Company to test its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. These factors included changes in key assumptions from the prior year annual goodwill assessment as a result of lower than anticipated operating results during the first half of 2024 as compared to forecast which resulted in a decrease in the fair value of the Company's RPM reporting unit such that the fair value was less than its carrying value. As a result, during the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $105.3 million in the RPM reporting unit. This impairment is recorded in “Impairment of goodwill” on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. No further impairment was taken during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company determined that based on its qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, factors existed which required the Company to test its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. These factors included a decline in the market price of the Company's common stock, industry specific regulatory pressures such as Medicaid redetermination and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") proposed ruling on Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services, and general economic and market volatility. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative assessment and determined that the goodwill at its PCS and RPM reporting units was impaired. As such, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $183.1 million, of which $137.3 million was recorded in the PCS reporting unit and $45.8 million was recorded in the RPM reporting unit. No further impairment was taken during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
After recording the respective impairments of goodwill, the associated reporting units had a combined $545.0 million of goodwill remaining as of September 30, 2024 and $650.3 million as of December 31, 2023. If, among other factors, (i) the Company's equity values were to decline significantly, (ii) the Company experienced additional adverse impacts associated with macroeconomic factors, including increases in the estimated weighted average cost of capital, or (iii) the adverse impacts stemming from competition, economic, regulatory or other factors were to cause the Company's results of operations or cash flows to be worse than currently anticipated, the Company could conclude in future periods that additional impairment charges of certain reporting units are required in order to reduce the carrying values of goodwill. Any such impairment charges could be significant.
Changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment are presented in the following table (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| NEMT | | PCS | | RPM | | Corporate and Other | | Total |

| | | | | | | | | |
The accumulated impairment losses on goodwill totaled $384.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and $279.1 million as of December 31, 2023.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of acquired payor networks, trademarks and trade names, developed technology, non-compete agreements, licenses, and an assembled workforce. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets. These finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate an asset may be impaired. Based on the continued value of the definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired, the Company did not identify any circumstances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 that would require an impairment test for the intangible assets.
8. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

(1) Accrued government grants include payments received from government entities, such as SLFRF or other government assistance funds, to offset increased expenditures for which the related expenditure has not yet been incurred and thus the related payments are deferred as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
9. Debt
The Company's long-term debt and short-term debt as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Description | | Date of Issuance | | September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Senior Unsecured Notes | | | | | | |

$500.0 million 5.000% due October 1, 2029 (effective interest rate 5.386%) | | 8/24/2021 | | 490,910 | | | 489,746 | |
Term Loan Facility | | | | | | |
$525.0 million SOFR + 4.750% due July 1, 2031(1) | | 7/1/2024 | | 495,215 | | | — | |
Total long-term debt | | | | $ | 986,125 | | | $ | 983,757 | |
| | | | | | |
Revolving Credit Facility | | 2/3/2022 | | $ | 228,000 | | | $ | 113,800 | |
Current Portion of Term Loan Facility(2) | | 7/1/2024 | | 5,250 | | | — | |
Total short-term debt | | | | $ | 233,250 | | | $ | 113,800 | |
(1) The $525.0 million Term Loan Facility bears interest at (i) a SOFR-based benchmark plus 4.75% or (ii) a prime rate (or other alternate base rate) benchmark plus 3.75% in the case of ABR Loans (as such terms are defined in the amended Credit Agreement) and matures on the earlier of (a) July 1, 2031 and (b) July 2, 2029 if any of the Company's 2029 Notes (as defined below) remain outstanding on that date.
(2) The Term Loan Facility requires principal payments of $1.3 million on a quarterly basis and accordingly, a portion of the Term Loan Facility in the amount of $5.3 million is classified as a current liability within the "Short-term debt" line item on the unaudited condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2024.
Senior Unsecured Notes
The Company pays interest on the senior unsecured notes semi-annually in arrears. Principal payments are not required until the maturity date. Debt issuance costs of $14.5 million in relation to the issuance of the senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes") were incurred and these costs were deferred and are amortized to interest cost over the term of the 2025 Notes. In connection with the redemption of the 2025 Notes on July 1, 2024 (discussed below), the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs were recognized in the loss on debt extinguishment that was recorded during the third quarter of 2024. Debt issuance costs of $13.5 million were incurred in relation to the issuance of the senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes" and, together with the 2025 Notes, the "Notes") and these costs were deferred and are amortized to interest cost over the term of the 2029 Notes. As of September 30, 2024, the 2029 Notes had $9.1 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs that were netted against the long-term debt balance on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2024, the 2025 Notes were fully redeemed and thus had no associated fair value as of that date and as of December 31, 2023, had a fair value of $499.2 million. The fair value of the 2029 Notes as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $315.0 million and $410.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the Notes was determined based on quoted prices in active markets, and therefore designated as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The indenture covering the Notes also contains a cross-default provision in the event any of the Company’s other indebtedness having a principal amount that aggregates $50.0 million or more is accelerated prior to its express maturity. The Company was in compliance with all covenants, as amended by the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement discussed in detail in the Revolving Credit Facility section below, as of September 30, 2024.
The 2025 Notes were redeemed in full on July 1, 2024 prior to contractual maturity, at a redemption premium of 1.469% on the aggregate original principal amount of the 2025 Notes for a total redemption of $507.3 million, plus the payment of approximately $3.8 million in accrued and unpaid interest on the 2025 Notes. As a result of the early redemption of the 2025 Notes, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $11.8 million on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. This loss consisted of the redemption premium of 1.469% on the aggregate original principal amount
of the 2025 Notes for $7.3 million plus the recognition of the unamortized deferred issuance costs on the 2025 Notes for $4.5 million. The 2025 Notes were redeemed in connection with the funding of the Term Loan Facility discussed below.
Credit Agreement
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company is a party to the amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of February 3, 2022 (the “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 Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million and 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 Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement was scheduled to mature on February 3, 2027 and the proceeds that may be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time prior to maturity 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).
On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, which amended and restated the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement as amended by the First Amendment) under the Credit Agreement as follows: for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2023 through September 30, 2023, 5.25:1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2023 through March 31, 2024, 5.00:1.00; for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024, 4.75:1.00; and for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2024 and for the fiscal quarters ending thereafter, 4.50:1.00.
On February 22, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Second Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, which amended the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the amended Credit Agreement as follows: for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2024 through June 30, 2024, 5.50:1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2024 through December 31, 2024, 5.25:1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2025 through September 30, 2025, 5.00:1.00, and for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2025 through March 31, 2026, 4.75:1.00. The Second Amendment also included a restriction on the Company's Liquidity (as defined in the Second Amendment and which is determined generally to be, as of any date of determination, the sum of the Company's borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility plus the amount of its unencumbered cash), requiring it to be less than $100.0 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (the "Liquidity Covenant").
On July 1, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (the "Third Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, which, among other things, extended with respect to the lenders identified in the Third Amendment the maturity date covering $255.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to February 3, 2028. The existing financial covenants under the amended Credit Agreement were retained for the benefit solely of the Revolving Credit Facility lenders, and the minimum liquidity level required by the Liquidity Covenant was decreased from $100.0 million to $75.0 million. Certain other financial covenants and restrictions were also modified under the amended Credit Agreement, as previously disclosed. The fees associated with the Third Amendment of $0.3 million will be amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility.
On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Fourth Amendment") to its Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the amended Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Relief Period") to 6.50:1.00 from 5.25:1.00. In addition, the Fourth Amendment reduced the minimum interest coverage ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 2.00:1.00 and increased the applicable margin on the Revolving Credit Facility by 0.25% until the Company delivers the required financial statements and compliance certificate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $228.0 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and had $55.6 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2024 was 9.3% per annum. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $113.8 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and had $40.4 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Under the amended Credit Agreement, the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility so long as, after giving effect to the incremental facility, the pro forma secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 2.70:1.00. The Company may prepay the Revolving 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. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the Revolving 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 under the Revolving Credit Facility 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 amended Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin. With respect to the loans under the Revolving Credit Facility during the Relief Period as stipulated by the Fourth Amendment, the applicable margin ranges from 2.50% to 4.25% in the case of RFR loans, as defined in the amended Credit Agreement, and 1.50% to 3.25% in the case of the Alternate Base Rate loans, as defined in the amended Credit Agreement, in each case, based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears in the case of Alternate Base Rate 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 2.50% to 4.25%, respectively, in each case, based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio.
The amended 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's borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility is currently limited by, among other covenants, compliance with the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant and the Liquidity Covenant for each fiscal period. The Company was in compliance with all covenants, as amended by the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, as of September 30, 2024.
The Company’s obligations under the Revolving 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 amended Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the Revolving 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 Revolving Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable upon the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. The amended Credit Agreement, as it relates to the Revolving Credit Facility, also contains a cross-default to any of the Company’s indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $40.0 million.
Term Loan Facility
On July 1, 2024, the Company, pursuant to the Third Amendment, established a new term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") in the aggregate principal amount of $525.0 million with the Term Loan Facility lenders named therein. The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used to (i) redeem the Company's 2025 Notes, (ii) repay a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Third Amendment, and (iii) pay fees and expenses associated with such transactions. The Company paid approximately $24.4 million of deferred issuance costs with respect to the Term Loan Facility. As of September 30, 2024, the Term Loan Facility had $23.2 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs that were netted against the long-term balance on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Term Loan Facility as of September 30, 2024 was $523.7 million, which was determined based on lender quotes for the Company's debt, and therefore designated as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Term Loan Facility matures on the earlier of (a) July 1, 2031 and (b) July 2, 2029 if any of the Company's 2029 Notes remain outstanding on that date. Principal payments on the Term Loan Facility are required on a quarterly basis, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2024, in the amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility outstanding on the date of issuance. All unpaid amounts of the Term Loan Facility shall be paid in full on the maturity date. The Term Loan Facility requires annual prepayments of a percentage of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the amended Credit Agreement); commencing with the year ending December 31, 2025 as follows: (i) 75.0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period was greater than 4.40:1.00, (ii) 50.0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period was greater than 3.90:1:00, but less than or equal to 4.40:1.00, (iii) 25.0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period was greater than 3.40:1.00, but less than or equal to 3.90:1.00, and (iv) 0.0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period was less than or equal to 3.40:1.00. The Term Loan Facility also requires
mandatory prepayments in the event of certain asset dispositions or casualty events. In addition, the Term Loan Facility is subject to a prepayment premium for the first six months after entering into the Third Amendment in the event of any repricing transaction.
Interest on the Term Loan Facility is generally payable quarterly, in arrears, on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility at the following rates for the interest period in effect for such borrowing: (i) a SOFR-based benchmark plus 4.75% or (ii) a prime rate (or other alternate base rate) benchmark plus 3.75% in the case of ABR Loans (as such terms are defined in the amended Credit Agreement). The Term Loan Facility is subject to customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default, as defined in the amended Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 10.08%. The amended Credit Agreement, as it relates to the Term Loan Facility, 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, as amended by the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, as of September 30, 2024.
10. Stock-Based Compensation and Similar Arrangements
The Company provides stock-based compensation to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan allows the flexibility to grant or award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units including restricted stock units and performance awards to eligible persons.
Stock options. The Company recognized immaterial stock-based compensation expense for non-qualified stock options (“NQs”) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, in general and administrative expense. At September 30, 2024, the Company had 50,096 stock options outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $116.62.
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), collectively, of $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $4.4 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in general and administrative expense. The Company had 15,948 unvested RSAs and 287,947 unvested RSUs outstanding at September 30, 2024 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $48.90 and $42.28, respectively.
Performance-based share awards. The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") 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 approved by the Compensation Committee and defined in the related PRSU Agreement. Stock-based compensation expense for PRSUs is recognized over the 3-year vesting period under the straight-line attribution method. The Company recorded a reversal of stock-based compensation expense related to PRSUs of $0.8 million in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to forfeitures that occurred during the period and recorded $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of stock-based compensation expense related to PRSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to the impact of the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense during the period from forfeitures and recorded $0.5 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over the remainder of the 3-year requisite service period. The Company had 267,345 unvested PRSUs outstanding at September 30, 2024 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $46.53.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company began offering an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") with 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for purchase pursuant to the Plan for eligible employees. The shares of Common Stock may be newly issued shares, treasury shares or shares acquired on the open market. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees may designate a dollar value or percentage of their compensation to be withheld through payroll deductions, up to a maximum of $25,000 in each plan year, for the purchase of common stock at a discounted rate of 85% of the lower of the market price on the first or last trading day of the offering period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an immaterial amount of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP. As of September 30, 2024, 966,172 shares remain available for future issuance under the ESPP.
11. Loss Per Share
The following table details the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, | | Nine months ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Numerator: | | | | | | | |
Net loss | $ | (26,604) | | | $ | (4,302) | | | $ | (177,788) | | | $ | (199,208) | |
| | | | | | | |
Denominator: | | | | | | | |
Denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share -- weighted-average shares | 14,253,192 | | | 14,182,839 | | | 14,224,155 | | | 14,169,537 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Loss per share: | | | | | | | |
Basic loss per share | $ | (1.87) | | | $ | (0.30) | | | $ | (12.50) | | | $ | (14.06) | |
Diluted loss per share | $ | (1.87) | | | $ | (0.30) | | | $ | (12.50) | | | $ | (14.06) | |
In a period when a net loss is reported, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. Therefore, in periods where a loss is reported, there is no difference in basic and diluted loss per share.
The following weighted-average shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, | | Nine months ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Stock options to purchase common stock | 58,948 | | | 90,579 | | | 70,183 | | | 96,725 | |
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units | 300,752 | | | 141,712 | | | 290,693 | | | 97,719 | |
12. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate to arrive at the tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 31.6% and 28.6%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 1.2% and 2.1%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to various tax credits, increased reserves on deferred tax assets, nondeductible expenses and nondeductible goodwill impairment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, and the nondeductible goodwill impairment.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Surveys, Audits and Governmental Investigations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be or become subject to surveys, audits and governmental investigations under or with respect to various governmental programs and state and federal laws. Agencies associated with the programs and other third-party commercial payors periodically conduct extensive pre-payment or post-payment medical reviews or other audits of claims data to identify possible payments made or authorized other than in compliance with the requirements of Medicare or Medicaid. In order to conduct these reviews, documentation is requested from the Company and then that documentation is reviewed to determine compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the eligibility of clients to receive benefits, the appropriateness of the care provided to those clients, and the documentation of that care. Similarly, other state and federal governmental agencies conduct reviews and investigations to confirm the Company's compliance with applicable laws where it operates, including regarding employment and wage related regulations and matters. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any regulatory reviews or other governmental surveys, audits or investigations, but management does not expect any ongoing surveys, audits or investigations involving the Company to have a
material adverse effect on the business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company. Regardless of the Company's expectations, however, surveys and audits are subject to inherent uncertainties and can have a material adverse impact on the Company due to, among other reasons, potential regulatory orders that inhibit its ability to operate its business, amounts paid as reimbursement or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and investigative costs.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be or become involved in various lawsuits, some of which may seek monetary damages, including claims for punitive damages. 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. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, however, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order precluding particular business practices or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on the business, liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies related to legal matters when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a range of reasonably possible losses can be estimated, the Company records an accrual for the most probable amount in the range. Due to the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of any legal proceeding, it may not be reasonably possible to estimate a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution. Legal fees related to all legal matters are expensed as incurred.
Since 2017, one of the Company's PCS segment subsidiaries, All Metro Home Care Services of New York, Inc. d/b/a All Metro Health Care (“All Metro”), has been subject to a class action lawsuit in state court claiming that, among other things, All Metro failed to properly pay live-in caregivers who stay in patients’ homes for 24 hours per day (“live-ins”). The Company pays live-ins for 13 hours per day as supported through a written opinion letter from the New York State Department of Labor (“NYSDOL”). The New York Court of Appeals (New York's highest court) in a similar case involving this issue issued an order in 2019 that agreed with the NYSDOL’s interpretation to pay live-ins for 13 hours per day instead of 24 hours if certain conditions were being met. Notwithstanding the court of appeals' order in the similar case, the parties to date have been unable to settle their dispute through mediation or otherwise, and therefore discovery in the matter is continuing. If the plaintiffs prove successful in this class action lawsuit, All Metro may be liable for back wages and liquidated damages dating back to November 2011. All Metro believes that it is and has been in compliance in all material respects with the laws and regulations covering pay for live-in caregivers (including the conditions described by the New York Court of Appeals in its order), intends to continue to defend itself vigorously with respect to this matter, and the Company 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 members. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health ("SDoH") by connecting members to essential care services. By doing so, ModivCare helps health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve health outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation ("NEMT"), personal care services ("PCS"), and remote patient monitoring solutions ("RPM"), which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model in its NEMT segment includes the coordination of non-emergency medical transportation services supported by an infrastructure of core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing and claims management. Additionally, its personal care services in its PCS segment 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. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring solutions in its RPM segment include the monitoring of personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions.
ModivCare also holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operates under the Matrix Medical Network brand (“Matrix”). Matrix, which is included in our Corporate and Other segment, maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services.
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 including required transportation to such healthcare services and in-home personal care and remote patient monitoring 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;
•a shift in membership dynamics as a result of Medicaid redetermination efforts, the effects of which are largely complete, however there are several states still in process of completing these efforts, which have and may continue to decrease membership levels at our NEMT segment;
•advancement of regulatory priorities, which include the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") final rule, Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services, which, in six years, requires states to generally ensure that a minimum of 80.0% of Medicaid payments are used toward compensation for direct care workers, which may lower profit margins at our PCS segment;
•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;
•managed care organizations ("MCOs"), Medicaid and Medicare plans increasing coverage of non-emergency medical transportation 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;
•uncertain macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates, could have an effect on our debt and short-term borrowings, which may have a negative impact on our results; and
•the extended collection periods and uncertainty concerning the timing of the collection of outstanding contract receivables with some customers due to complexities in Medicare, Medicaid, and nongovernmental payor arrangements.
On May 11, 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") declared the end of the public health emergency ("PHE") for the COVID-19 pandemic. During each year following the emergence of the pandemic, we have continued to experience increased trip volume, service hours, and caregiver visits. While this indicates increased demand for our non-emergency medical transportation, personal care and remote patient monitoring services, ongoing impacts of the pandemic and implications of the current macroeconomic environment, which is characterized by high inflation rates, high interest rates, supply chain challenges, labor shortages, volatility in capital markets and growing recession risk, have had and could continue to have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For the NEMT segment, increased trip volume and utilization of non-emergency medical transportation services exposes us to cost containment risk as labor costs and trip costs are rising at a higher rate than reimbursement, which results in lower profit margins than previously reported. The increase in trip costs is driven, in part, by headwinds from the current macroeconomic environment which limit the NEMT segment's ability to provide services at a reasonable cost to achieve historic profit margins. These macroeconomic trends also put pressure on the availability of transportation providers. Additionally, we may face staffing difficulties in our contact centers as the recruitment of potential employees may be challenging amid the current labor environment, which could negatively impact the customer and member experience while interfacing with our contact centers and materially adversely affect our reputation and results of operations. For the PCS segment, the labor shortage, particularly related to availability of healthcare workers including caregivers, will continue to impact the volume of service hours that can be provided while also driving increased wage rates, which limits our ability to be profitable in contracts with set rates for various care services. Additionally, increases in the utilization of our NEMT services and reduction in payor reimbursement rates at the PCS segment could limit the ability for us to generate a profit despite our shift toward emphasizing the importance of value-based care. Any of these circumstances and factors could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business and any long-term macroeconomic impacts that have arisen as a result of the pandemic could continue to change trends in the market.
Our business environment is competitive, the structural changes in our industry related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been lasting, the labor market for healthcare professionals remains constrained, and the market price for our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market continues to be volatile; the continuing effect of all or any of the foregoing could result in, in future periods, an impairment to the estimated fair value of the goodwill that has been established for our reporting units. As discussed elsewhere herein and under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2023, impairment tests may be required in addition to the annual impairment testing that occurs on July 1st of each year if circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of goodwill of a reporting unit below such reporting unit’s carrying value. We monitor the performance of the business and the value of our stock price and estimated fair values of our reporting units, among other relevant considerations, to determine if any impairments to goodwill could exist at any particular time. During the second quarter of 2024, we determined that based on our qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, factors existed which required us to test our goodwill for impairment. These factors included lower than anticipated operating results during the first half of 2024 as compared to
forecast. As a result of our quantitative assessment during the second quarter of 2024, we determined that the goodwill at our RPM reporting unit was impaired. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional details.
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, 2023. 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, 2023.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
Service revenue, net. Service revenue for our NEMT segment includes the revenue generated by providing non-emergency medical transportation services directly to our customers. These services are provided on either a capitated basis, which means we are paid on a per-member, per-month ("PMPM") basis for each eligible member, or on a fee-for-service ("FFS") basis, which means we are paid based on the volume of trips or services performed. Payment for our NEMT services is received from third-party payors, predominately made up of state Medicaid agencies and MCOs.
Our capitated contracts operate under either a full-risk or a shared-risk structure. Under full-risk contracts, payors pay a fixed amount per eligible member per month and we assume the responsibility of meeting the covered healthcare related transportation requirements for the number of eligible members in the payor's program. Under this structure, we assume the full-risk for the costs associated with arranging transportation of members through our network of independent transportation providers. Revenue is recognized based on the number of members served during the period. Under shared-risk contracts, we have provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors, and/or profit rebates. These contracts allow for periodic reconciliations based on actual cost and/or trip volume and may result in refunds to the payor (contract payables), or additional payments due from the payor (contract receivables) based on the provisions contractually agreed upon. These shared-risk contracts also allow for margin stabilization, as generally the amount received PMPM is adjusted for the costs to provide the transportation services. Under both contract structures, 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.
Under FFS contracts, payors pay a specified amount for each service that we provide based on costs incurred plus an agreed-upon margin. FFS revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered and is reduced by the estimated impact of contractual allowances.
Service revenue for our PCS segment includes the revenue generated based on the hours incurred by our in-home caregivers to provide services to our customers, primarily on a FFS basis in which we earn a specified amount for each service that we provide. Payment for our PCS services is billed to third-party payors which include, but are not limited to, MCOs, hospitals, Medicaid agencies and programs and other home health care providers who subcontract the services of our caregivers to their patients, and individuals.
Service revenue for our RPM segment includes the sale of monitoring equipment to our third-party distributors as well as revenue generated from the hours incurred by our Clinical Team for providing monitoring services to our customers, primarily on a PMPM basis for each eligible member. Payment for our monitoring services is billed to third-party payors which include, but are not limited to, national and regional health plans, government-funded benefit programs, healthcare provider organizations, and individuals.
Grant Income
Grant income. We have received distributions under 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 in addition to other governmental funds.
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 PCS 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 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 and developed technology.
Impairment of goodwill. We determined that based on our qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, factors existed which required us to test our goodwill for impairment. As a result of such impairment test, we determined that the goodwill within our RPM reporting unit was impaired during the second quarter of 2024 and that goodwill within our PCS and RPM reporting units was impaired during the second quarter of 2023.
Other Expenses (Income)
Interest expense, net. Interest expense consists principally of interest accrued during the period ended September 30, 2024 on our borrowings outstanding 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.
Loss on debt extinguishment. During Q3 2024, our 2025 Notes were redeemed in full prior to contractual maturity, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment.
Equity in net income (loss) 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 held at our Corporate and Other segment, presented net of related taxes, as well as the earnings of our insurance captive held at the NEMT segment, presented net of related taxes.
Income tax benefit (provision). We are subject to federal taxation in the United States and state taxation in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.
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, PCS, RPM, and Corporate and Other. The NEMT segment provides non-emergency medical transportation services throughout the country. The PCS segment provides non-medical personal care and home health services. The RPM segment provides remote patient monitoring solutions. The Corporate and Other segment includes the costs associated with our corporate operations and as such, includes 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 an investment in innovation that we completed during the first quarter of 2023. The operating results of the NEMT, PCS and RPM segments include revenue and expenses generated and incurred by the segment, and the Corporate and Other segment includes expenses incurred in relation to our Corporate operations as well as certain service revenue and operating expenses associated with the investment in innovation discussed above.
See Note 3, Segments, in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our segments.

Total service expense | $ | 597,934 | | | 85.2 | % | | $ | 579,214 | | | 84.3 | % |
Service expense for Q3 2024 increased $18.7 million, or 3.2%, compared to Q3 2023. Service expense at our NEMT segment increased $8.5 million, service expense at our PCS segment increased $8.7 million and service expense increased at our RPM segment $1.1 million. The remainder of the change is related to our Corporate and Other segment. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for Q3 2024 increased $0.8 million, or 1.1%, compared to Q3 2023. General and administrative expense at our Corporate and Other segment decreased $6.8 million and at our RPM segment decreased $1.4 million. These decreases were offset by an increase in general and administrative expense at our NEMT segment of $5.3 million along with an increase in general and administrative expense at our PCS segment of $3.6 million. General and administrative expense, expressed as a percentage of service revenue, net decreased to 10.1% for Q3 2024 compared to 10.2% for Q3 2023. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.9 million, or 7.1% in Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023 primarily related to the depreciation associated with the capitalization of internal use software.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, for Q3 2024 and Q3 2023 was $28.5 million and $17.8 million, respectively, for an increase of $10.6 million, or 59.7% quarter over quarter. During Q3 2024, we incurred $6.6 million and $14.7 million of interest expense related to the 2029 Notes and the Term Loan Facility, respectively. Since the 2025 Notes were redeemed in full on July 1, 2024, and all remaining interest was paid as part of that transaction, there was no interest expense associated with the 2025 Notes during Q3 2024. The remainder of the interest expense in Q3 2024 is related to interest and fees on the Credit Facility, which increased during Q3 2024 due to increased borrowing on the Revolving Credit Facility as compared to Q3 2023. Interest expense is recorded at our Corporate and Other segment.
Loss on debt extinguishment. During Q3 2024, our 2025 Notes were redeemed in full prior to contractual maturity, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment. This balance consists of the redemption premium of 1.469% on the aggregate original principal amount of the 2025 Notes for $7.3 million plus the recognition of the unamortized deferred issuance costs on the 2025 Notes for $4.5 million.
Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax. Our equity in net loss of investee, net of tax, for Q3 2024 of $2.6 million and our equity in net loss of investee, net of tax, of $0.2 million for Q3 2023 was a result of our proportional share of the net income or loss of Matrix and our investment in a captive insurance program.
Income tax benefit (provision). Our effective tax rate to arrive at the tax benefit from operations for Q3 2024 and Q3 2023 was 31.6% and 28.6%, respectively. For Q3 2024, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to various tax credits, increased reserves on deferred tax assets, and nondeductible expenses. For Q3 2023, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.

Service revenue, net. Consolidated service revenue, net, for YTD 2024 increased $36.4 million, or 1.8%, compared to YTD 2023. This change consists of an increase in revenue of $9.8 million at our NEMT segment, an increase in revenue of $24.3 million at our PCS segment, and an increase in revenue of $0.9 million at our RPM segment. The remainder of the change is related to our Corporate and Other segment. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
Grant income. While we received approximately $16.2 million in grant distributions during YTD 2024, we did not recognize grant income, but recognized a portion of these funds as an offset to service expense once they met the conditions for recognition. We received $21.0 million in grant distributions during YTD 2023 and recognized $4.6 million in grant income, with the difference being recognized either as an offset to service expense, if we incurred the expense for which the grants were intended to compensate, or as an accrued expense, if we have not yet incurred the expense for which the grants were intended to compensate. These funds were received by our NEMT and PCS segments and are available to eligible providers who have healthcare-related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19 and/or meet the eligibility requirements of the related fund.

Total service expense | $ | 1,769,600 | | | 84.9 | % | | $ | 1,718,735 | | | 83.9 | % |
Service expense for YTD 2024 increased $50.9 million, or 3.0%, compared to YTD 2023 primarily due to higher purchased services for our NEMT segment of $34.0 million related to an increase in transportation costs. Payroll and related costs across all segments increased $9.8 million, which was driven by an increase in payroll and related costs of $33.8 million at our PCS and RPM segments, which was partially offset by a decrease in payroll and related costs of $24.2 million at our NEMT segment. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for YTD 2024 decreased $5.0 million, or 2.2%, compared to YTD 2023. General and administrative expense at our Corporate and Other segment decreased $20.7 million and at our RPM segment decreased $1.0 million, which was offset by an increase in general and administrative expense at our NEMT segment of $8.1 million along with an increase in general and administrative expense at our PCS segment of $8.7 million. General and administrative expense, expressed as a percentage of service revenue, net decreased to 10.8% for YTD 2024 compared to 11.2% for YTD 2023. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $5.1 million, or 6.6% in YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023, primarily associated with the capitalization of internal use software.
Impairment of goodwill. Impairment of goodwill for YTD 2024 and YTD 2023 was $105.3 million and $183.1 million, respectively, and was driven by goodwill impairments that were recorded at our RPM reporting unit during YTD 2024 and at our PCS and RPM reporting units during YTD 2023. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for YTD 2024 and YTD 2023 was $67.1 million and $50.8 million, respectively, for an increase of $16.4 million, or 32.2% year over year. During YTD 2024, we incurred $16.3 million, $19.9 million and $14.7 million of interest expense related to the 2025 Notes, the 2029 Notes, and the Term Loan Facility, respectively. The remainder of the interest expense during YTD 2024 is related to interest and fees on the amended Credit Facility, which increased during YTD 2024 due to increased borrowing on the Revolving Credit Facility as compared to YTD 2023. Interest expense is recorded at our Corporate and Other segment.
Loss on debt extinguishment. During Q3 2024, our 2025 Notes were redeemed in full prior to contractual maturity, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment. This balance consists of the redemption premium of 1.469% on the aggregate original principal amount of the 2025 Notes for $7.3 million plus the recognition of the unamortized deferred issuance costs on the 2025 Notes for $4.5 million.
Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax. Our equity in net loss of investee, net of tax for YTD 2024 of $3.9 million and our equity in net income of investee, net of tax for YTD 2023 of $2.8 million was a result of our proportional share of the net income or loss of Matrix and our investment in a captive insurance program.
Income tax benefit (provision). Our effective tax rate to arrive at the tax benefit from operations for YTD 2024 and YTD 2023 was a tax benefit of 1.2% and 2.1%, respectively. The YTD 2024 effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to various tax credits, increased reserves on deferred tax assets, nondeductible expenses, and the nondeductible goodwill impairment. The YTD 2023 effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the nondeductible goodwill impairment.

Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net, remained consistent in Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023, with an increase of 1.3%, and remained consistent in YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023, with an increase of 0.7%. While average monthly membership decreased 10.8% and 12.7% for the QTD and YTD periods, respectively, the revenue received per member per month increased by 13.7% and 15.3% over the same periods, helping to maintain a consistent revenue level. Revenue per member per month is driven by increases in trip volume. These two factors are correlated due to contract repricing and the partial pass-through of costs associated with our reconciliation, risk corridor, and/or profit rebate contracts (which are considered shared-risk contracts due to the reconciliation provisions).
The change in average monthly members is correlated to the change in revenue because a majority of our contracts are capitated, and we receive monthly payments on a per member per month basis in return for full or shared risk of transportation volumes. Declines in membership over the periods presented were anticipated and related to Medicaid redetermination, along with certain contract losses. While membership decreased, revenue had an offsetting increase due to increases in the average rate received per member, which increases in line with increases in utilization or trip volume from our shared risk contracts. As most of our capitated contracts have been restructured to a shared risk format, revenue remained consistent despite the decline
in membership. Increases in trip volume also positively affected revenue from fee-for-service contracts due to a larger number of services performed.
Service expense. Service expense for our NEMT segment primarily consists of purchased services, which are costs paid to our third party transportation providers, and payroll and related costs, which consist of salaries of employees within our contact centers and operations centers. Other service expenses include occupancy costs related to our contact centers. Service expense components for the NEMT segment are shown below (in thousands):

Service expense increased $8.5 million, or 2.0%, for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023, primarily related to an increase in purchased services of $20.2 million, or 5.5%, which was partially offset by a decrease in payroll and related costs of $11.3 million, or 21.8%. Service expense increased $10.6 million, or 0.8%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023, primarily related to an increase in purchased services of $34.0 million, or 3.1%, which was offset by a decrease in payroll and related costs of $24.2 million, or 15.6%. The decrease in payroll and related costs over both periods demonstrates ongoing improvements from cost optimization and digitization efforts in our contact centers. Purchased services costs increased with the 6.7% higher trip volume for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023 and the 5.8% higher trip volume for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023. This is partially offset by lower purchased services cost per trip, due to reduction in trip expense from the implementation of our multi-modal strategy.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries for administrative employees that support the operations of the NEMT segment, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees. General and administrative expense increased $5.3 million, or 20.9%, for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023 and increased $8.1 million, or 9.2%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023. The increases are primarily related to higher salaries for administrative employees during both periods.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.8 million, or 12.2%, for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023 and increased $2.3 million, or 11.2%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023. Both increases are primarily associated with the depreciation expense recorded as a result of additional investment in internal use software.

(1) These metrics are key performance indicators that management uses to evaluate our performance. Trends established in these metrics can be used to evaluate current operating results, identify trends affecting our business, determine the allocation of resources and understand the underlying drivers of costs and revenue for our business. We believe these metrics are useful to investors in evaluating and understanding our business but should not be used solely in assessing our performance.

Our PCS 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.
Service revenue, net. PCS contracts are generally structured as fee-for-service contracts, with revenue driven by the number of hours worked by our personal care providers. Service revenue, net, increased $8.5 million, or 4.7%, for Q3 2024, as compared to Q3 2023, primarily due to 2.6% higher hours worked by personal care providers, as well as 2.1% higher rates earned per hour. Service revenue, net, increased $24.3 million, or 4.5%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023, primarily due to 2.1% higher hours worked by personal care providers, as well as 2.4% higher rates earned per hour during the same period.
Grant income. During Q3 2024 and YTD 2024, we did not recognize grant income and during Q3 2023 and YTD 2023, we recognized $0.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, related to government grant distributions received, primarily from the ARPA SLFRF. See discussion in the consolidated Results of Operations section for more information.
Service expense. Service expense for our PCS segment primarily consists of wages for our employees who provide personal care services and it typically trends with the number of hours worked and cost per hour of service. Service expense components for the PCS segment are shown below (in thousands):

Service expense for Q3 2024 increased $8.7 million, or 6.1%, as compared to Q3 2023, primarily as a result of a 3.4% increase in service expense per hour, as well as a 2.6% increase in hours of service provided. Service expense for YTD 2024 increased $33.4 million, or 8.0%, as compared to YTD 2023, primarily as a result of a 5.8% increase in service expense per hour, as well as a 2.1% increase in hours of service provided. The increases in service expense per hour are driven primarily by increased wage rates for our caregivers, predominately from wage increases in New York, New Jersey, and West Virginia.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries for administrative employees that support the operations of the PCS segment, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees. General and administrative expense increased $3.6 million, or 17.6%, for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023 and general and administrative expense increased $8.7 million, or 13.7%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023. The increases are primarily related to increased legal fees from various audits and legal proceedings as well as increased software maintenance expense related to the implementation of a home care platform in certain markets in Q3 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023 and for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023. This balance primarily consists of amortization expense on the payor network intangible asset.
Impairment of goodwill. During Q3 2024 and Q3 2023, we did not record any impairment charge on the goodwill at our PCS reporting unit. During YTD 2024 we also did not record any impairment charge on the goodwill at our PCS reporting unit. During YTD 2023, as a result of our quantitative goodwill assessment on July 1, we determined that the goodwill within our PCS reporting unit was impaired which resulted in an impairment of goodwill charge of $137.3 million. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional details.

Our RPM segment is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions and manages a comprehensive suite of services, including personal emergency response systems monitoring, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions.
Service revenue, net. RPM contracts are generally structured as a fixed fee per enrolled member per month and therefore, revenue is generally driven by the number of enrolled members and the rate received per member per month. Service revenue, net, decreased $0.3 million, or 1.7%, for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023, primarily related to a 1.3% decrease in revenue per member per month paired with a small decrease in average monthly members. Service revenue, net, increased $0.9 million, or 1.5%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023, primarily related to a 2.5% increase in average monthly members from YTD 2023 to YTD 2024.
Service expense. Service expense for our RPM segment primarily consists of salaries for the employees providing the remote monitoring services as well as occupancy costs. Service expense components for the RPM segment are shown below (in thousands):

Service expense increased $1.1 million, or 15.6%, for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023, primarily related to an increase of $0.9 million, or 25.4%, in payroll and related costs. Service expense increased $4.4 million, or 22.0%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023, primarily related to an increase of $2.9 million, or 29.3%, in payroll and related costs. Payroll and related costs increased due to increased wages and benefits for our monitoring employees as well as increased device installation costs.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries for administrative employees that indirectly support the operations, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees. General and administrative expense for Q3 2024 decreased as compared to Q3 2023 by $1.4 million, or 23.8%. General and administrative expense for YTD 2024 decreased as compared to YTD 2023 by $1.0 million, or 6.0%.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.9 million, or 14.6%, for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023, and increased $2.7 million, or 15.2%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023, primarily related to additional depreciation expense on an increased number of RPM devices used to service the 2.5% increase in average monthly members from YTD 2023.
Impairment of goodwill. During Q3 2024 and Q3 2023, we did not record any impairment charge on the goodwill at our RPM reporting unit. During YTD 2024 and YTD 2023, as a result of our quantitative goodwill assessment on July 1, we determined that the goodwill within our RPM reporting unit was impaired which resulted in an impairment of goodwill charge of $105.3 million and $45.8 million, respectively. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional details.

Our Corporate and Other segment includes our 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 and the operating results of our investments in innovation related to data analytics products and solutions, which is comprised of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Higi Care, LLC (“Higi”), which was acquired during the first quarter of 2023. Higi provides certain data-driven personal health technologies and also began providing virtual clinical care management services (the "MSO") through an unaffiliated professional corporation (the "PC") owned and operated by a licensed physician in the third quarter of 2023.
Service revenue, net and Service expense: The acquisition of Higi, which was a strategic investment in growth, contributes to service revenue and service expense.
General and administrative expense and Depreciation and amortization: Our Corporate and Other segment includes costs incurred related to strategy and stewardship of the other operating segments. These expenses are primarily general and administrative expenses, with a minimal amount related to depreciation. The general and administrative expense decreased $6.8 million, or 36.1%, for Q3 2024 as compared to Q3 2023 and decreased $20.7 million, or 33.8%, for YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023. This decrease is primarily related to lower professional service costs and lower legal fees, which were higher in the prior year due to executive departure.
Seasonality
Our NEMT and PCS segments' operating income and cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business, principally due to lower demand for transportation and in-home services during the winter season and periods with major holidays as members and patients may spend more time with family and less time alone needing outside care during those periods. While this fluctuation is noted in terms of the use of our services during these seasonal shifts, it does not have a material impact on our results of operations and therefore is not adjusted for. 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, contract start-up costs on new revenue contracts 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 borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). For information regarding our long-term capital requirements, see below under the caption "Liquidity".
Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $36.5 million. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, was $48.3 million and $2.2 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We had restricted cash of $0.5 million and $0.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. 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 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 2024 cash flows compared to YTD 2023
Operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $36.5 million for YTD 2024 compared to cash used in operating activities of $57.3 million for YTD 2023. The decrease in cash used of $20.9 million between periods was primarily a result of an increase in cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $43.6 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were partly driven by an increase in cash collected from contract receivables during YTD 2024 of $91.7 million on certain risk corridor and reconciliation contracts. This increase from the changes in operating assets and liabilities is partially offset by an increase in the accounts receivable and other receivables balance of $48.2 million primarily related to the timing of cash receipts on our trade accounts receivable and other receivables, as well as a decrease in our contract payables of $9.5 million related to payments made on certain risk corridor and reconciliation contracts as compared to YTD 2023.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $22.3 million in YTD 2024, which decreased by $8.9 million as compared to YTD 2023. This decrease is related to less cash spent on purchases of property and equipment.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $104.8 million for YTD 2024, compared to $82.1 million for YTD 2023. The increase of $22.7 million was primarily a result of the issuance of a Term Loan Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $525.0 million which was partially offset by the redemption of our 2025 Notes for $507.3 million. The increase is also driven by an increase of $31.2 million in net proceeds from our short-term borrowing on our Revolving Credit Facility during YTD 2024 as compared to YTD 2023, partially offset by higher debt issuance costs of $25.1 million related to the Third and Fourth Amendments to the Credit Agreement.
Obligations and commitments
Senior Unsecured Notes. On November 4, 2020, we issued $500.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due on November 15, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). Subsequently, on August 24, 2021, we issued an additional $500.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due on October 1, 2029 (the “2029 Notes” and, together with the 2025 Notes, the “Notes”). For information related to our senior unsecured notes, refer to Note 9, Debt, of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements”.
The 2025 Notes were redeemed in full on July 1, 2024 prior to contractual maturity, at a redemption premium of 1.469% on the aggregate original principal amount of the 2025 Notes for a total redemption of $507.3 million, plus the payment of approximately $3.8 million in accrued and unpaid interest on the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes were redeemed in connection with the funding of the Term Loan Facility discussed below.
Revolving Credit Facility. We are party to the amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of February 3, 2022, (the “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 Credit Agreement, as amended to date, provides us with a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million. The Revolving 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 Credit Agreement contains financial and non-financial covenants, including an affirmative covenant regarding our Total Net Leverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters, which is the ratio of (a) our total net indebtedness to (b) our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain non-recurring charges, fees, and expenses, as set for the in the Credit Agreement.
On June 26, 2023, we entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement which amended the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the Credit Agreement.
On February 22, 2024, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement which further amended the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the amended Credit Agreement as well as added a quarterly minimum liquidity covenant (the "Liquidity Covenant") that restricts us from permitting our Liquidity (as defined in the Second Amendment and which is determined generally to be, as of any date of determination, the sum of our available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility plus the amount of our unencumbered cash), to be less than $100.0 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
On July 1, 2024, we entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which, among other things, extended with respect to the lenders identified in the Third Amendment the maturity date covering $255.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to February 3, 2028. The existing financial covenants under the amended Credit Agreement were retained for the benefit solely of the Revolving Credit Facility lenders, and the minimum liquidity level required by the Liquidity Covenant was decreased from $100.0 million to $75.0 million. Certain other financial covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement were also modified by the Third Amendment, as previously disclosed. The fees associated with the Third Amendment of $0.3 million will be amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility.
On September 30, 2024, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which amended the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the amended Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 6.50:1.00. In addition, the Fourth Amendment reduced the minimum interest coverage ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 2.00:1.00 and increased the applicable margin on the Revolving Credit Facility by 0.25% until we deliver the required financial statements and compliance certificate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the amended Credit Agreement and our Total Net Leverage Ratio was 5.59:1.00.
Term Loan Facility. On July 1, 2024, pursuant to the Third Amendment, we established a new term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") in the aggregate principal amount of $525.0 million with the Term Loan Facility lenders named therein. The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used to (i) redeem our 2025 Notes, (ii) repay a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Third Amendment, and (iii) pay fees and expenses associated with such transactions. We incurred approximately $24.4 million of deferred financing costs with respect to the Term Loan Facility.
The Term Loan Facility matures on the earlier of (a) July 1, 2031 and (b) July 2, 2029 if any of the 2029 Notes remain outstanding on that date. Principal payments on the Term Loan Facility are required on a quarterly basis, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2024, in the amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility outstanding on the date of issuance. All unpaid amounts of the Term Loan Facility shall be paid in full on the maturity date. The Term Loan Facility requires annual prepayments of a percentage of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the amended Credit Agreement); commencing with the year ending December 31, 2025 as follows: (i) 75.0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period was greater than 4.40:1.00, (ii) 50.0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period was greater than 3.90:1:00, but less than or equal to 4.40:1.00, (iii) 25.0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period was greater than 3.40:1.00, but less than or equal to 3.90:1.00, and (iv) 0.0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period was less than or equal to 3.40:1.00. The Term Loan Facility also requires mandatory prepayments in the event of certain asset dispositions or casualty events. In addition, the Term Loan Facility is subject to a prepayment premium for the first six months after entering into the Third Amendment in the event of any repricing transaction.
Interest on the Term Loan Facility is generally payable quarterly, in arrears, on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility at the following rates for the interest period in effect for such borrowing: (i) a SOFR-based benchmark plus 4.75% or (ii) a prime rate (or other alternate base rate) benchmark plus 3.75% in the case of ABR Loans (as such terms are defined in the amended Credit Agreement). The Term Loan Facility is subject to customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default, as defined in the amended Credit Agreement.
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 current liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $48.3 million and accounts receivable, contract receivables, and other receivables of $375.9 million as of September 30, 2024. Current liabilities, which totaled $768.8 million at period end as detailed in the table below, included $83.5 million in guarantees and letters of credit that are not expected to be settled in cash. Other sources of liquidity include amounts currently available under our Revolving Credit Facility and expected future cash generated from operations. As of September 30, 2024, we had amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility of up to approximately $41.4 million.
Management’s assessment of our liquidity is highly dependent on our ability to meet operating forecasts, including cash generated by operations, and manage working capital, including specifically the timely collection of outstanding contract receivables, which were $110.4 million at September 30, 2024. During YTD 2024, we have faced a lengthened time interval between earning revenue and collecting receivables under outstanding contracts with customers due to complexities in
Medicare, Medicaid, and nongovernmental payor arrangements. This prolonged interval between fulfilling our performance obligations and collecting the cash owed for our services, which we have not historically experienced to this extent, has lengthened overall collection periods and increased the uncertainty concerning the timing of the collection of these outstanding contract receivables.
As of the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Management determined that the extended collection periods and uncertainty concerning the timing of the collection of outstanding contract receivables has changed our forecasts of our ability to meet certain financial covenants in our debt instruments, specifically related to our Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant in our amended Credit Agreement. As a result, it has been determined that substantial doubt exists about our ability to meet our obligations as they come due within one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
While we continue to monitor cash generated from operations, available credit, and other liquid assets, sustaining operations relies heavily on the timely collection of contract receivables and compliance with the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant in our Credit Agreement, as amended to date. Failure to meet this covenant or others could cause our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility, and the Company’s Notes due 2029 to become immediately due and payable, and we may not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy such obligations. In such event, we would expect to be required to restructure our existing debt or seek additional equity or debt financing to meet our obligations and maintain our existence as a going concern.
To address our compliance with the financial covenants in our debt instruments for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to our Credit Agreement on September 30, 2024. This amendment increased the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the amended Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 6.50:1.00 from 5.25:1.00. As a result of the Fourth Amendment, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Credit Agreement for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Management intends to undertake additional actions including continuing our discussions with our bank group on a collaborative long-term relief amendment to support ongoing compliance with financial covenants and take other measures to further address these issues, support the funding of operations and improve liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that any long-term relief amendment or additional funds will be available when needed on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or in an amount sufficient to enable us to satisfy our obligations or sustain operations in the future.
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, debt financing, and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. 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.
We have cash requirements of $768.8 million due in one year or less in addition to $1,371.3 million due in more than one year as of September 30, 2024. 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, 2024 (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, Term Loan Facility, and Revolving Credit Facility and the timing of expected future payments.
(2)Interest payments on our Senior Unsecured Notes are typically paid semi-annually in arrears and have been calculated at the rates fixed as of September 30, 2024. Interest payments on our Term Loan Facility are typically paid quarterly in arrears and have been calculated at the SOFR-based benchmark plus the applicable margin of 4.75% as of September 30, 2024. Interest payments on our Revolving Credit Facility have been calculated by taking the expected borrowing on the Revolving Credit Facility for the next year at the weighted average interest rate of borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2024 of 9.3%.
(3)See Note 4 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.
(4)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, 2023 filed on February 26, 2024 for further detail of our accrued transportation cost.
(5)Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
(6)The operating leases are for office space. Certain leases contain periodic rent escalation adjustments and renewal options. See Note 15 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, 2023 filed on February 26, 2024 for further detail of our operating leases.
(7)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 Revolving 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.
(8)The purchased service commitment includes the maximum penalty we would incur if we do not meet our minimum volume commitment over the remaining term of the agreement under certain contracts. See Note 17 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, 2023 filed on February 26, 2024 for further detail of our purchased service commitment.
(9)These include other current liabilities reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024, including accounts payable and accrued expenses as detailed at Note 8 of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements”.
Our primary sources of funding include operating cash flows, available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and access to capital markets. In addition, 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. Except as disclosed herein, 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.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results require our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Refer to Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2023 Form 10-K for a description of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since the 2023 Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We have exposure to interest rate risk mainly related to our Revolving Credit Facility and our Term Loan Facility, which have variable interest rates that may increase. We had a combined $233.3 million of short-term debt outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility and $55.6 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2024. Interest rates on the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility vary and accrue 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 Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Interest rates on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility vary and accrue at a per annum rate equal to the SOFR-based benchmark, a prime rate, or other alternate base rate, as applicable and each as defined in the amended Credit Agreement, in each case plus an applicable margin. We completed an interest rate risk sensitivity analysis with the assumption that the short-term borrowing amount that was outstanding as of September 30, 2024 was outstanding for the fiscal year with an assumed one-percentage point increase in interest rates. Based on this analysis, the one-percentage point increase would have an approximate $2.3 million negative impact on our pre-tax earnings.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company's management, under the supervision and with the participation of 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, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, to the extent of the material weaknesses identified in internal control over financial reporting as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, such disclosure controls and procedures were not 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.
In light of the material weaknesses described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
The Company, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, is in the process of ongoing remediation efforts related to the material weaknesses previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, management began executing on the newly designed internal controls and supporting processes to address the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at the Company's PCS segment as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The remediation plan put into place by management includes working with an independent third-party internal control specialist to lead the remediation efforts as well as the addition of resources within the organization to improve structure and help mitigate
risks previously identified. The approach to the remediation plan is uniform and enterprise-wide to eliminate future enterprise risk and strengthen the Company's overall internal control over financial reporting. Key focus areas have been identified as general information technology control (GITC) deficiencies, namely change management controls and logical access controls, and process-level controls activities in the Company's revenue processes and payroll processes within the PCS segment.
To that effect, the Company has:
•Successfully brought the remaining PCS business unit onto an existing payroll system, creating standard systems, processes, and controls related to payroll across the PCS segment;
•Successfully brought the remaining PCS business unit onto the existing PCS revenue and billing system, creating standard systems, processes, and controls related to revenue and billing across the PCS segment;
•Executed on test of design for newly designed controls and processes in payroll and revenue.
The Company's management continues to focus on projects that automate, standardize, and centralize the Company's control environment as it continues to integrate the PCS segment. Management believes that the remediation measures described above will address the material weaknesses and strengthen the Company's overall internal control over financial reporting. Management will continue to monitor the progress of these efforts, and may take additional measures or modify the remediation plan described above in order to effectively address the control deficiencies. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the remediated controls have operated for a sufficient amount of time for management to conclude, through testing, that the controls are designed and operating effectively.
(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, 2023 (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, except as otherwise set forth below:
Substantial doubt exists about our ability to meet our obligations as they come due within one year from the date of issuance of the financial statements included within this report, the existence of which may have a material adverse effect on our stock price, our ability to raise capital or enter into strategic transactions, and our relationships with key stakeholders.
As discussed in Note 1, Management's Liquidity Plans and Going Concern Considerations, to the unaudited financial statements included in this report, and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity” in this report, the Company has faced a lengthened time interval between earning revenue and collecting receivables under outstanding contracts with some of its customers due to complexities in Medicare, Medicaid, and nongovernmental payor arrangements. This prolonged interval between the Company fulfilling its performance obligations and collecting the cash owed for its services from its customers has lengthened collection periods and increased the uncertainty concerning the timing of the collection of these corresponding outstanding contract receivables. The extended collection periods and uncertainty concerning the timing of the collection of outstanding contract receivables has changed the Company’s forecasts of, among other things, its ability to meet the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant in its amended Credit Agreement. Any failure to maintain compliance with such financial or other covenant could cause the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Company’s Notes due 2029 to become immediately due and payable, and the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy such obligations. As a result, it has been determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they come due within one year from the date of issuance of the financial statements included in this report.
The Company is analyzing various alternatives to support ongoing compliance with financial covenants and the continued funding of operations and to improve liquidity, including continuing discussions with the Company’s bank group on a collaborative long-term relief amendment with respect to the Company’s financial covenants. There can be no assurance, however, that any long-term relief amendment, additional funds or strategic transactions will be available when needed on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, or in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to satisfy its obligations or sustain operations in the future. In addition, if the Company issues equity to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the Company’s common stock, and the Company’s current stockholders may experience dilution.
Furthermore, as a result of the determination itself that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they come due within one year from the date of issuance of the financial statements included in this report, there may be material adverse impacts to the Company’s stock price, the Company’s ability to raise capital or enter into strategic transactions on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, or the Company’s relationships with its key stakeholders. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient, timely financial resources and improve liquidity, its business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Any of these adverse impacts could result in a significant or complete loss of your investment.
The risk factors discussed by us 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none of our officers or directors adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”
