Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations are described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K, other than as described below.
DocGo’s labor costs are significant and any inability to control those costs could adversely affect its business.
Labor expenses (which includes both directly employed personnel as well as subcontracted labor) are DocGo’s largest cost, representing approximately 77%, 68% and 73% of its 2025, 2024 and 2023 revenues, respectively. DocGo competes with other healthcare providers in a highly competitive labor market to attract healthcare professionals, including EMTs, paramedics and nurses, to support its operations. In some markets in which DocGo operates, the lack of availability of clinical personnel has become a significant operating issue that all healthcare providers face. This labor shortage has required, and could continue in the future to require, DocGo to increase wages and benefits to recruit and retain qualified personnel or to identify and contract with more expensive temporary personnel. DocGo also depends on the available labor pool of technology-skilled workers in certain of the markets in which it operates.
If DocGo’s labor costs increase, it may be unable to raise rates to offset these increased costs. In particular, because a significant percentage of DocGo’s revenue consists of fixed, prospective payments, its ability to pass along increased labor costs is limited. If labor costs rise at an annual rate greater than its revenues, DocGo’s results of operations and cash flows will likely be adversely affected.
In addition, a small portion of DocGo’s U.S. employees have recently voted to unionize, and additional union activity may occur within DocGo’s workforce in the future, which could contribute to increased labor costs. Certain proposed changes in federal labor laws and the National Labor Relations Board’s modification of its election procedures could also increase the likelihood of employee unionization attempts. To the extent a significant portion of its employee base unionizes, it is possible DocGo’s labor costs could increase materially. DocGo’s failure to recruit and retain qualified healthcare professionals, or to control labor costs, could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
