Table of Contents
The Company derives revenue primarily from two operating segments:
• Mobile Health Services: The services offered by this segment include a wide variety of healthcare services performed at homes, offices and other locations and event services such as on-site healthcare support at sporting events and concerts. This segment also provides total care management solutions to large, typically underserved population groups, primarily through arrangements with municipalities, which include healthcare services as well as ancillary services, such as shelter.
• Transportation Services: The services offered by this segment encompass both emergency response and non-emergency transport services. Non-emergency transport services include ambulance transports and wheelchair transports. Net revenue from Transportation Services is derived from the transportation of patients based on billings to third party payors and healthcare facilities.
See Item 1, “Business” in this Annual Report for additional information regarding DocGo’s business.
For the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company recorded net income of $10.0 million, compared to net income of $30.7 million and $19.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our operating results and financial performance are influenced by a variety of factors, including, among others, our ability to establish, maintain and grow customer relationships; our ability to execute projects to the satisfaction of our customers; conditions in the healthcare transportation and mobile health services markets; changes in government spending on healthcare and other social services; availability of healthcare professionals and other personnel; changes in the cost of labor; our competitive environment; overall macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including rising interest rates, the inflationary environment, the potential recessionary environment, regional conflict and tensions, financial institution instability and the prospect of a shutdown of the U.S. federal government; production schedules of our suppliers; our ability to obtain or maintain operating licenses; and the success of our acquisition strategy. Some of these key factors are briefly discussed below. Future revenue growth and improvement in operating results will be largely contingent on our ability to penetrate new markets and further penetrate existing markets, which is subject to a number of uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.
Healthcare Services Market
The Mobile Health Services market is dependent on several factors, including increased patient acceptance of services that are provided outside of traditional healthcare facilities, such as in homes, businesses or other designated locations; healthcare coverage of the various Mobile Health Services; and continued desire on the part of government and municipal entities to fund programs to assist currently underserved patient segments via “population health” programs. These programs increased in number, scale and scope since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. While COVID-19 testing and vaccination programs have been dramatically scaled back from their levels at the pandemic’s peak, there have been expansions of these population health programs into other areas, such as the provision of healthcare and related services to recent migrants and asylum seekers.
The Transportation Services market is highly dependent on patients requiring transportation after surgeries and other medical procedures and treatments. The Company primarily focuses on the non-emergency medical transport market, which includes services that are provided to patients who need assistance getting to and from medical appointments. Key drivers of this market are the increase in chronic conditions and the number of elective surgeries as well as the ongoing aging of the population, as older demographics tend to be much more frequent consumers of medical transportation services. The market will also grow if hospitals and other healthcare facilities continue to outsource more of their transportation needs to independent providers, such as the Company, allowing these facilities to concentrate their efforts on their core competencies.
Overall Economic Conditions in the Markets in Which We Operate
Economic changes, both nationally and locally, in our markets impact our financial performance. Unfavorable changes in demographics, healthcare coverage of Mobile Health Services and Transportation Services, interest rates, inflation rates, ambulance manufacturing, a weakening of the national economy or of any regional or local economy in which we operate and other factors beyond our control could adversely affect our business.

Our Ability to Control Expenses
We pay close attention to the management of our working capital and operating expenses. Some of our most significant operating expenses are labor costs, medical supplies and vehicle-related costs, such as fuel, maintenance, repair and insurance. Insurance costs include premiums paid for coverage as well as reserves for estimated losses within the Company’s insurance policy deductibles. We employ our proprietary technology to help drive improvements in productivity per transport and per shift. We regularly analyze our workforce productivity to help achieve the optimum, cost-efficient labor mix for our locations. This involves managing the mix of Company-employed labor and subcontracted labor as well as full-time and part-time employees.
Inflation
The inflation rate in the United States, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, has generally trended up since early 2021. This data is reported monthly, showing year-over-year changes in prices across a basket of goods and services. Though the annual inflation rate declined to 4.1% for the full year 2023 from 8.0% in 2022, it remains above historical averages. The increased inflation rate has had an impact on the Company’s expenses in several areas, including wages, fuel and medical and other supplies. This has had the effect of compressing gross profit margins, as the Company is generally unable to pass these higher costs on to its customers, particularly in the short term. In a continued attempt to dampen inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve implemented four interest rate hikes in 2023, raising its benchmark rate to the current level of 5.25-5.50% as of the date of this Annual Report. Looking into 2024, we anticipate a continued moderation of the inflation rate as a result of these recent interest rate increases, with an annual rate similar to those witnessed in the 2010-2020 period, when the annual inflation rate ranged from 0.1% to 3.2%. If inflation is above the levels that the Company anticipates, gross margins could be below plan and our business, operating results and cash flows may be adversely affected.
Trip Volumes and Average Trip Price
A “trip” is defined as an instance where the Company completes the transportation of a patient to a specific destination, for which we are able to charge a fee. This metric does not include instances where a trip is ordered and subsequently either canceled (by the customer) or declined (by the Company). As trip volume represents the most basic unit of transportation service provided by the Company, the Company believes it is a good measure of the level of demand for the Company’s Transportation Services and is used by management to monitor and manage the scale of the business.
The average trip price is calculated by dividing the aggregate revenue from the total number of trips by the total number of trips and is an important indicator of the effective rate at which the Company is being compensated for its provision of Transportation Services.
Revenues generated from programs under which the Company is paid a fixed hourly or daily rate for the use of a fully staffed and equipped ambulance do not factor in the trip counts or average trip prices mentioned above. We expect these fixed rate, “leased hour” programs to continue to account for an increasing proportion of the Transportation Services segment’s revenues in the future.
Acquisitions
Historically, we have pursued an acquisition strategy to obtain enhanced capabilities or licenses to offer Mobile Health Services or Transportation Services. Future acquisitions may also include companies that may help drive revenue, profitability, cash flow and stockholder value.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we completed three acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of $34.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we completed five acquisitions for a purchase price of $69.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed one acquisition for a purchase price of $2.3 million.
Investing in R&D and Enhancing our Customer Experience
Our performance is dependent on the investments we make in research and development (“R&D”), including our ability to attract and retain highly skilled R&D personnel. We intend to develop and introduce innovative new software services, integrations with third-party products and services, mobile applications and other new offerings. If we fail to innovate and enhance our brand and our products, our market position and revenue may be adversely affected.

Regulatory Environment
The Company is subject to federal, state and local regulations, including healthcare and emergency medical services laws and regulations and tax laws and regulations. The Company’s current business plan assumes no material change in these laws and regulations. In the event that any such change occurs, compliance with new laws and regulations may significantly affect the Company’s operations and cost of doing business.
COVID-19
The spread of COVID-19 and the related shutdowns and restrictions had a mixed impact on the Company’s business. In the ambulance transportation business, which predominantly comprises non-emergency medical transportation, the Company initially saw a decline in volumes from historical and expected levels, as elective surgeries and other procedures were postponed. In some of the Company’s larger markets, such as New York and California, there were declines in trip volume. In addition, the Company experienced lost revenues associated with sporting, concerts and other events, as those events were cancelled or significantly restricted (or entirely eliminated) the number of permitted attendees. Ambulance transports and event-related revenues have both since recovered to pre-COVID levels or higher.
There were two areas in which the Company initially experienced positive business impacts from COVID-19. In April and May 2020, the Company participated in an emergency project with FEMA in the New York City area. This engagement resulted in incremental transportation revenue. In addition, in response to the need for widespread COVID-19 testing, EMTs and paramedics, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Rapid Reliable Testing, LLC (“RRT”), with the goal of performing COVID-19 tests at nursing homes, municipal sites, businesses, schools and other venues. RRT is part of the Mobile Health Services segment. As COVID-19 testing activity slowed and accounted for a more minor portion of the Company’s revenues, RRT expanded its services beyond COVID-19 testing to a wide variety of tests, vaccinations and other procedures. The Company estimates that during 2023, its revenue from COVID-19 related services accounted for less than 1% of total revenues, compared to about 17% in 2022 and nearly 35% in 2021.
The Company’s current business plan assumes increased demand for Mobile Health Services, a demand that was accelerated by the pandemic, but which is also being driven by longer-term factors, such as the increasing desire on the part of patients to receive treatments outside of traditional settings, such as doctor’s offices and hospitals.
Components of Results of Operations
Our business consists of three reportable segments — Mobile Health Services, Transportation Services and Corporate. All revenue and cost of goods sold are contained within the Mobile Health Services and Transportation Services segments. Accordingly, revenues and cost of goods sold are discussed below on a consolidated level and are also broken down between Mobile Health Services and Transportation Services. Operating expenses are discussed on a consolidated level and broken down among all three segments. The Company evaluates the performance of each of its segments based primarily on its results of operations. Accordingly, other income and expenses not included in results of operations are only included in the discussion of consolidated results of operations.
Revenue
The Company’s revenue consists of services provided by its Mobile Health Services segment and its Transportation Services segment.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of revenue generating wages paid to employees, fees to paid to subcontractors, medical supplies, vehicle insurance costs (including insurance premiums and costs incurred under the insurance deductibles), maintenance, fuel and facility rent. We expect cost of revenues to continue to rise as we grow our business.
Operating Expenses
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bad debt expense, insurance expense, consultant fees and professional fees for accounting services. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we continue to scale our business and grow headcount and as a result of operating as a public company, including our
53
Table of Contents
compliance with SEC rules and regulations, audit activities, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.
Depreciation and Amortization
The Company depreciates its assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Amortization of intangibles consists of amortization of definite-lived intangible assets over their respective useful lives.
Legal and Regulatory Expenses
Legal and regulatory expenses include legal fees, consulting fees related to healthcare compliance and legal settlements.
Technology and Development Expenses
Technology and development expenses consists primarily of costs incurred in the design and development of the Company’s proprietary technology, third-party software and technologies. We expect technology and development expenses to increase in future periods to support our growth, including our intent to continue investing in the optimization, accuracy and reliability of our dispatch and communication platform and drive efficiency in our operations. These expenses may vary from period to period as a percentage of revenues, depending primarily upon when we choose to make more significant investments, particularly when entering new business lines or customer sales channels.
Sales, Advertising and Marketing Expenses
Our sales, advertising and marketing expenses consist of costs directly associated with our sales and marketing activities, which primarily include sales commissions, marketing programs, trade shows, promotional materials and general branding. We expect our sales, advertising and marketing expenses to continue to increase over time as we increase our marketing activities, grow our domestic and international operations and continue to build brand awareness.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our outstanding borrowings under our outstanding notes payable and financing obligations, including our Revolving Facility.

Revenues
Consolidated
For the year ended December 31, 2023, total revenues were $624.3 million, an increase of $183.8 million, or 41.7%, from the total revenues recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Mobile Health Services
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Mobile Health Services revenues were $442.8 million, an increase of $116.9 million, or 35.9%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an expansion in services offered by the Mobile Health Services segment, particularly in the government customer sector. This expansion accelerated during the year ended December 31, 2023 as the Company extended several large customer contracts and introduced a broader range of services.
Transportation Services
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Transportation Services revenues were $181.5 million, an increase of $66.9 million, or 58.3%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was due to a 15.8% increase in trip volumes, from 216,009 trips for the year ended December 31, 2022 to 250,114 trips for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in trip volumes was due to a combination of growth in the Company’s customer base in certain core markets and acquisitions made during the second half of 2022. Our average trip price increased from $380 in the year ended December 31, 2022 to $407 in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in the average trip price in 2023 reflected a shift in mix toward higher-priced transports with existing customers, as well as the acquisition of licenses to provide higher acuity transports resulting in higher prices per trip. The average trip price also benefited from an 8.7% increase in the average Medicare reimbursement rate for ambulance transports. The Medicare ambulance fee schedule has increased by a further 2.4%, effective January 1, 2024.
Cost of Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2023, total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased by 50.1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, while revenues increased by approximately 41.7%. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to 68.7% in the year ended December 31, 2023 from 64.9% in the year ended December 31, 2022.
Total cost of revenues in the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $143.1 million compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to a $44.0 million increase in total compensation, due to higher headcount for both the Transportation Services and Mobile Health Services segments; an $80.2 million increase in subcontracted labor costs, primarily driven by new projects in the Mobile Health Services segment that required a greater number of personnel and certain more highly specialized personnel than the Company was able to initially provide through its existing staff; a $19.6 million increase in medical and related supplies; a $2.1 million increase in travel costs for field personnel and other clinicians who traveled out of their home regions to provide Mobile Health Services; and a $1.6 million net increase in other cost of revenues categories. These items were partially offset by a $2.3 million decline in vehicle costs, as the Company exited certain rental agreements, and a $2.1 million reduction in lab fees, as COVID testing services declined to an immaterial amount in 2023.
For the Mobile Health Services segment, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $306.2 million, up 53.7% from $199.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to 69.1% from 61.1% in the prior year period, despite a significant increase in revenues, reflecting higher compensation expenses as a result of headcount growth, significantly higher subcontracted labor costs and increased costs for medical supplies.
For the Transportation Services segment, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $122.7 million, up 41.8% from $86.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 67.6% from 75.5% in the prior year, reflecting the impact of higher per-trip prices, increased revenues from standby contracts (for which we are paid a daily or hourly rate) and the overall increase in revenues, as well as a decline in the average fuel price.

Operating Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2023, operating expenses were $180.3 million compared to $132.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $47.4 million, or 35.7%. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased from 30.2% in 2022 to 28.9% in 2023, even as the Company added to its management infrastructure and total compensation increased, due to the significant increase in overall revenues described above. The increase of $47.4 million related primarily to a $27.1 million increase in total compensation, which included costs for both directly employed and subcontracted staff due to investments in and expansion of corporate infrastructure to support the revenue growth, as well as an increase in stock-based compensation expense; a $5.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization due to an increase in assets to support revenue growth and capitalized software amortization, as well as recently acquired companies; a $4.9 million increase in IT infrastructure, driven by the Company’s business and headcount expansion; a $2.5 million increase in insurance costs, reflecting higher headcount, a larger vehicle fleet and expanded operations; a $1.3 million increase in rent and utilities relating to the Company’s ongoing geographic expansion; and a $5.9 million net increase across a variety of expense categories.
For the Mobile Health Services segment, operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2023 were $56.3 million, up from $33.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 12.7% from 10.4% in 2022, despite the increase in Mobile Health Services revenues, reflecting significant expenditures that were made in 2023 related to the expansion of services and geographic areas of operation, as well as the continued buildout of the Mobile Health Services management infrastructure and the costs of developing the Company’s “on-demand” direct-to-consumer offering.
For the Transportation Services segment, operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2023 were $55.2 million, compared to $43.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in operating expenses for this segment, in absolute dollar terms, was driven primarily by higher compensation expense and depreciation charges, reflecting the expansion of the business, including recent acquisitions. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 30.4% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 37.5% in the year ended December 31, 2022.
For the Corporate segment, which represents primarily shared services that are not contained within the entities included in either the Mobile Health Services or Transportation Services segments, operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2023 were $68.8 million, compared to $55.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in operating expenses for this segment, in absolute dollar terms, was primarily driven by higher compensation expenses, reflecting the ongoing build-out of the Company’s corporate human resources infrastructure. Corporate expenses amounted to approximately 11.0% of total consolidated revenues in 2023, compared to 12.5% in 2022, reflecting the significant increase in total consolidated revenues.
Interest Income, Net
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded approximately $1.7 million of interest income, net compared to $0.8 million of interest income, net in the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher rates of interest earned on balances in the Company's interest-bearing accounts in the year ended December 31, 2023, which reflected significantly higher market interest rates. The higher rates of interest earned outweighed the impact of the lower average cash balances in 2023.
Gain on Remeasurement of Warrant Liabilities
During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no gains or losses recorded relating to remeasurement of warrant liabilities, as all warrants were redeemed during the third quarter of 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.1 million from the remeasurement of warrant liabilities. The warrants were marked-to-market in each reporting period, and this gain reflected the decline in the Company’s stock price relative to the beginning of the period.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Liability
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a change in fair value of contingent liability of approximately $1.4 million, reflecting a decline in the anticipated payments to be made for a recent acquisition, based upon
57

performance compared to certain targets. There was no related change in fair value recorded in the year ended December 31, 2022.
(Loss) Gain on Equity Method Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on equity method investments of approximately $0.3 million representing its share of the losses incurred by an entity in which the Company has a minority interest. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on equity method investments of $8,919.
Gain on Remeasurement of Finance Leases
During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no gains or losses recorded relating to remeasurement of finance leases. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on remeasurement of finance leases of $1.4 million.
Gain on Bargain Purchase
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded no gain or loss on bargain purchase. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on bargain purchase of $1.6 million.
Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of fixed assets of $0.9 million, compared to a loss on disposal of fixed assets of $21,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Goodwill Impairment
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not record any impairment to goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $2.9 million, relating to the Company’s exit from the medical transportation market in California.
(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $6.2 million compared to an income tax benefit of $7.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The tax benefit in 2022 was due to the release of the valuation allowance recorded in previous years for net operating losses, as the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would be able to realize its net operating loss carryforwards in the future.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of approximately $3.2 million compared to a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The income compared to the prior year period loss reflected improved performance in the Company’s joint venture markets in the year ended December 31, 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, total revenues were $440.5 million, an increase of $121.8 million, or 38%, from the total revenues recorded in the year ended December 31, 2021.
Mobile Health Services
For the year ended December 31, 2022, Mobile Health Services revenues were $325.9 million, an increase of $91.4 million, or 39%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of the services offered by this segment, particularly with respect to testing, vaccination and other healthcare services revenues. This expansion accelerated through 2021 and into 2022 as the Company increased its customer base, primarily in the municipal customer segment, and its geographic reach, while extending the terms of and/or expanding the scope of several large customer contracts and introducing a broader range of services. Compared to the prior year, 2022 featured significantly lower COVID-19 testing revenue, which was outweighed by the substantial increase in other Mobile Health Services, as the Mobile Health Services segment transitioned away from its dependence on COVID-19 related revenue. COVID-19 testing continued to be a significant driver of Mobile Health Services revenues in the first half of 2022, but dropped sharply in the third quarter of the year, and represented an insignificant proportion of total revenues in the fourth quarter.
Transportation Services
For the year ended December 31, 2022, Transportation Services revenues were $114.6 million, an increase of $30.3 million, or 36%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was due to a 20% increase in trip volumes, from 180,753 trips for the year ended December 31, 2021 to 216,009 trips for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in trip volumes was due to a combination of growth in the customer base in certain core markets, entry into new markets in 2021 and early 2022 and acquisitions made during the second half of 2022. Our average trip price increased from $301 in the year ended December 31, 2021 to $380 in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in the average trip price in 2022 reflected a shift in mix toward higher-priced transports with existing customers, as well as the acquisition of licenses to provide higher acuity transports resulting in higher prices per trip. The average trip price also benefited from a 5.1% increase in the average Medicare reimbursement rate for ambulance transports.
Cost of Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2022, total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased by 37%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, while revenues increased by approximately 38%. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 64.9% in 2022 from 65.5% in 2021.
In absolute dollar terms, cost of revenues in the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $76.8 million from the levels of the year ended December 31, 2021. This was primarily attributable to a $64.9 million increase in total compensation, due to higher headcount for both the Transportation Services and Mobile Health Services segments; a $16.0 million increase in subcontracted labor, driven mostly by the Mobile Health Services segment, where the Company did not have sufficient personnel to staff the initial phases of large new projects; $13.6 million increase in vehicle costs, driven by a continued increase in the Company’s vehicle fleet and higher fuel and maintenance costs, as well as costs incurred to rent vehicles to provide Mobile Health Services; a $2.1 million increase in travel costs, due to field personnel and other clinicians who traveled out of their home regions to provide Mobile Health Services; a $0.4 million increase in facilities and related costs; and approximately $2.6 million in increases across a variety of other cost of revenues categories relating to the Company’s increased scale and geographic presence. These items were partially offset by a $21.1 million decrease in lab fees related to COVID-19 testing activity, reflecting sharply lower COVID-19 testing activity in the second half of 2022, lower per-test lab fees and a shift toward rapid tests; and a $1.8 million decline in medical supplies, reflecting a decline in COVID-19 testing activity and improved sourcing of various supplies.
For the Mobile Health Services segment, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $199.2 million, compared to $145.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly to 61.1% from 61.9%, due to the increase in revenues and

the continued shift away from higher-cost subcontracted labor toward Company personnel during 2022, which was partially offset by higher compensation costs associated with some of the Company’s newer projects.
For the Transportation Services segment, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the year ended December 31, 2022 was $86.5 million, an increase of $23.1 million, or 36%, from the year ended December 31, 2021. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues were essentially unchanged, at 75.5% in 2022 compared to 75.3% in 2021. Increased volumes and higher average trip prices, as described above, combined with lower average hourly wages, as recent market wage pressures began to subside and the Company more effectively managed its staff to reduce overtime hours for field employees, to offset the effects of increased fuel costs. Fuel prices moderated somewhat during the third quarter and in the fourth quarters of 2022, but the full-year average fuel price for 2022 was approximately 29% above the full-year average for 2021. We anticipated that fuel prices would remain at elevated levels for 2023, but we expected that the full-year average for 2023 would be lower than it was in 2022.
Operating Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2022, operating expenses were $132.9 million compared to $94.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of 41%. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased slightly, from 29.6% in 2021 to 30.2% in 2022, despite the significant increase in overall revenues described above, as the Company continued to add to its management infrastructure and incurred a full year’s worth of expenses relating to its status as a public company. The increase of $38.3 million related primarily to a $20.1 million increase in total compensation, which includes salaries, benefits, bonuses and commissions for both direct and subcontracted labor, reflecting higher headcount driven by the Company’s overall growth and expansion; a $7.1 million increase in legal, accounting and other professional fees related to increased revenues and related contract generation and SEC filing-related costs; a $2.8 million increase in insurance costs reflecting the growth and expansion of the Company, as well as the addition of directors and officers (D&O) insurance in 2022; a $3.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization charges due to an increase in assets to support revenue growth and capitalized software amortization, including from recently acquired companies; a $2.3 million increase in rent utility expenses due to the Company’s ongoing growth and geographic expansion; a $2.9 million increase in IT infrastructure, driven by the Company’s business and headcount expansion; and a $0.6 million increase in marketing expenses, driven in part by expenditures made to develop and expand the Company’s direct-to-consumer offering and other Mobile Health Services. These items were partially offset by a $0.7 million decline witnessed across several operating expense categories, such as travel, commissions and general office expenses.
For the Mobile Health Services segment, operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2022 were $58.0 million, up 25% from operating expenses of $46.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 17.8% from 19.8% in 2021, due to the increase in Mobile Health Services revenues, which outweighed the effect of the significant expenditures that were made in 2022 in the expansion of services and geographic areas of operation, as well as the continued buildout of the Mobile Health Services management infrastructure and the costs of developing the Company’s “on-demand” direct-to-consumer offering.
For the Transportation Services segment, operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2022 were $74.0 million, up $26.6 million, or 56%, from the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 64.6% from 56.3% in 2021, despite the increase in revenues, primarily due to increases in the Company’s corporate overhead expenditures, as described above, as these expenses were allocated to the Transportation Services segment for purposes of segment reporting. Operating expenses for the Transportation Services segment were also driven higher by the inclusion of the acquisitions the Company made in the second half of 2022.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $0.8 million of interest income, net compared to $0.8 million of interest expense, net in the year ended December 31, 2021. This was due to a significantly higher amount of interest earned during 2022, resulting from an increase in the Company’s cash balances in income-bearing accounts, coupled with higher rates of interest earned on balances in these accounts, which reflected significantly higher market interest rates.
Gain on Remeasurement of Warrant Liabilities
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $1.1 million from the remeasurement of warrant liabilities. The warrants were marked-to-market in each reporting period, and this gain

reflected the decrease in DocGo’s stock price relative to the beginning of the period. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a net gain of $5.2 million on the remeasurement of warrant liabilities. On August 15, 2022, the Company announced the redemption of all of its outstanding warrants under the Warrant Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2020, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, on the redemption date of September 16, 2022 (the “Redemption Date”). Warrants surrendered for exercise on a cashless basis resulted in the issuance of 1,406,371 shares of Common Stock. A total of 68,514 warrants were not surrendered on the Redemption Date and were redeemed for $0.10 per warrant.
Gain on Equity Method Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on equity method investments of $8,919, representing its share of the losses incurred by an entity in which the Company has a minority interest, which is accounted for under the equity method. This investment was made in the fourth quarter of 2021, during which period a loss of $66,818 was recorded in relation to this equity method investment.
Gain on Bargain Purchase
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $1.6 million in relation to an acquisition made during the fourth quarter of the year, wherein the tangible net asset value of the acquired entity exceeded the purchase price. No such gain or loss was recorded during the same period in 2021.
Gain on Remeasurement of Finance Leases
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on remeasurement of finance leases of approximately $1.4 million, resulting from a change in estimated remaining liabilities under the terms of its leases. No such gain or loss was recorded in the same period in 2021.
Gain from PPP Loan Forgiveness
In 2021, the Company recorded a $0.1 million gain due to the forgiveness of a loan that one of its subsidiaries had obtained via the government’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in 2020. No gain from loan forgiveness was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Benefit From (Provision For) Income Taxes
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $7.9 million compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The tax benefit in 2022 was due to the release of the valuation allowance recorded in previous years for net operating losses, as the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would be able to realize its net operating loss carryforwards in the future.
Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of approximately $3.8 million compared to a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. For both periods, the loss reflected ongoing investments in new markets that were entered into during 2021 and 2022, partially offset by income generated by those markets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Between the inception of DocGo’s wholly owned subsidiary Ambulnz and the Business Combination, Ambulnz completed three equity financing transactions as its principal source of liquidity. In November 2021, upon the completion of the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing, the Company received proceeds of approximately $158.1 million, net of transaction expenses. Generally, the Company has utilized proceeds from the equity financing transactions and the Business Combination to finance operations, invest in assets, make acquisitions and fund accounts receivable. The Company has also funded these activities through operating cash flows. Despite the fact that the Company generated positive net income for the year ended December 31, 2023, operating cash flows are not always sufficient to meet immediate obligations arising from current operations. For example, as the business has grown, the Company’s expenditures for human capital and supplies has expanded accordingly, and the timing of the payments for payroll and to associated vendors, compared to the timing of receipts of cash from customers, frequently results in the need to use existing

cash balances to fund working capital needs. During the year ended December 31, 2023, as a greater proportion of the Company’s overall revenues were generated through services provided to municipal customers with long payment cycles, and expenditures made by the Company to allow for the provision of these services were substantial, operating cash flows were not sufficient to meet these demands for working capital, leading to a marked decline in the Company’s cash balances. As these invoices are collected, the Company expects cash flows to be sufficient for near term working capital needs.
The Company’s future working capital needs depend on many factors, including the overall growth of the Company and the various payment terms that are negotiated with customers and vendors. The Company’s future capital requirements depend on many factors, including potential acquisitions, the Company’s level of investment in technology and ongoing technology development, and rate of growth in existing markets and into new markets. Capital requirements might also be affected by factors outside of the Company’s control, such as interest rates, rising inflation and other monetary and fiscal policy changes to the manner in which the Company currently operates. If the Company’s growth rate is higher than is currently anticipated, resulting in greater-than-anticipated capital requirements, the Company might need to, or choose to, raise additional capital through debt or equity financings. This last factor was evident during the second half of 2023, leading to a draw down in the Company’s credit line during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, as described below.
On November 1, 2022, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides for the Revolving Facility in the initial aggregate principal amount of $90 million. The Revolving Facility includes the ability for the Company to request an increase to the commitment by an additional amount of up to $50 million, though no lender (nor the lenders collectively) is obligated to increase its respective commitments. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) at the Company’s option, (x) the base rate or (y) the adjusted term SOFR rate, plus (ii) the applicable margin. The applicable margins are based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, adjusted on a quarterly basis. The initial applicable margins were 1.25% for an adjusted term SOFR loan and 0.25% for a base rate loan and are updated based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The Revolving Facility matures on November 1, 2027 and is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s present and future personal assets and intangible assets. The Revolving Facility is subject to certain financial covenants, such as a net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. On October 19, 2023, the Company drew down $25 million under the Revolving Facility, which amount remained outstanding as of December 31, 2023. In February 2024, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility, and no amounts are outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report.
Considering the foregoing, DocGo anticipates that its existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, future expected cash flows generated from its operations and its available line of credit under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to satisfy operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. Looking beyond the next twelve months, DocGo anticipates that expected future cash flows, its available line of credit and proceeds from potential additional financings will be sufficient to satisfy any operating and potential investing requirements.

As of December 31, 2023, available cash totaled $59.3 million, which represented a decrease of $98.0 million compared to December 31, 2022, reflecting a significant increase in accounts receivable and acquisitions made during the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, working capital amounted to $168.8 million, which represented a decrease of $2.2 million compared to December 31, 2022, which reflected the decreased cash balance in 2023. Increased accounts receivable, which reflected the growth of the business and a shift towards higher credit quality customers who have longer payment cycles in 2023, were outweighed by the increase in current liabilities, which reflected the growth of

Operating Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2023, cash used by operating activities was $64.2 million, despite net income of $10.0 million. Non-cash charges amounted to $38.9 million, which primarily consisted of $11.2 million in depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, $5.2 million from amortization of intangible assets, $21.0 million of stock compensation expense, a $0.9 million loss on the disposal of assets and a loss of $0.3 million from an investment that is accounted for under the equity method and $3.6 million in bad debt expense. These were partially offset by $2.0 million in deferred taxes and a non-cash gain of $1.4 million resulting from a reduction in the fair value of contingent consideration. Changes in assets and liabilities resulted in approximately $113.1 million in negative operating cash flow, as a $160.5 million increase in accounts receivable, reflecting the growth of the business and primarily driven by an increased amount of business with municipalities, which tend to have longer payment cycles; a $1.8 million decrease in accounts payable; and a $10.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets were partially offset by a $59.0 million increase in accrued liabilities and a $1.0 million decline in other assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $28.9 million, aided by net income of $30.7 million. Non-cash charges were $11.3 million and included $7.3 million in depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, $3.2 million from amortization of intangible assets, $3.8 million in bad debt expense primarily related to a provision for potential uncollectible accounts receivable, $8.1 million of stock compensation expense and a non-cash loss of $2.9 million related to the impairment of a business unit that was discontinued at the end of the year. These charges were partially offset by non-cash gains of $1.4 million relating to the remeasurement of finance lease liabilities, $1.1 million from the remeasurement of warrant liabilities, $1.6 million in a gain on a bargain purchase and $9.9 million in the realization of a deferred tax asset. Changes in assets and liabilities resulted in an approximately $13.2 million decrease to operating cash flow, as an $8.4 million increase in accounts receivable, a $4.2 million increase in prepaid

expenses and a $6.0 million decrease in accrued liabilities outweighed the effect of a $1.8 million decrease in other assets and a $3.6 million increase in accounts payable.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million, despite net income of $19.2 million. Non-cash charges amounted to $7.7 million, as $5.2 million in depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, $1.8 million from amortization of intangible assets, $4.5 million in bad debt expense primarily related to a provision for potential uncollectible accounts receivable and $1.4 million of stock compensation expense were partially offset by $5.2 million in a non-cash gain on the remeasurement of warrant liabilities. Changes in assets and liabilities resulted in an approximately $28.8 million decrease in operating cash flow and were primarily driven by a $57.1 million increase in accounts receivable arising from the growth of the business, particularly in the fourth quarter of the year, and the inclusion of larger Mobile Health Services customers with extended credit terms, and a $3.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by a $32.6 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses due primarily to the extension of credit and timing of payments, as DocGo attempted to align the timing of payments to vendors with the timing of payments received from customers, where possible, in an attempt to manage cash balances.
Investing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2023, investing activities used $29.9 million of cash and consisted of the acquisition of property and equipment totaling approximately $7.6 million, the acquisition of intangibles in the amount of $2.5 million, the acquisition of businesses in the amount of $20.2 million and an equity method investment in the amount of $0.3 million, partially offset by $0.7 million in cash proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in investing activities was $38.4 million and consisted of the acquisition of property and equipment totaling approximately $3.2 million, the acquisition of intangibles in the amount of $2.3 million and the acquisition of businesses in the amount of $33.0 million, primarily relating to acquisitions the Company completed in the third and fourth quarters of 2022.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used in investing activities was $8.6 million, primarily consisting of the acquisition of property and equipment totaling $4.8 million and the acquisition of businesses and intangibles totaling $3.1 million to support the ongoing growth of the business. In addition, the Company made an equity investment amounting to approximately $0.7 million.
Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million, including $25 million in proceeds from the Company’s Revolving Facility and $1.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, mostly offset by $4.3 million in payments under the terms of a finance lease, a $13.6 million decrease in amounts due to seller, $5.3 million in earnout payments on contingent liabilities and $2.3 million in payments for taxes related to shares withheld for employee taxes.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in financing activities was $6.2 million, including $3.7 million in the repurchase of Common Stock, $3.0 million in payments under the terms of a finance lease, a $2.5 million decrease in amounts due to seller and $0.9 million in repayments of notes payable, which were partially offset by $2.1 million in non-controlling interest contributions and $2.0 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, cash provided by financing activities was $155.2 million, due primarily to $158.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, which is net of $20.0 million in issuance costs. This was slightly offset by $2.2 million in payments on obligations under the terms of a finance lease and $0.5 million in expenditures to acquire the remaining 20% of the Company’s U.K. subsidiary. During 2021, the Company received $8.0 million in proceeds from a revolving bank loan, which was repaid during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Noncontrolling interests on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of consolidated joint ventures and a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company does not have direct equity ownership.

Table of Contents
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, the Company was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Ambulnz stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Ambulnz. The shares of common stock and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for common stockholders, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated as shares of the Company, reflecting the exchange ratio (645.1452 to 1) established in the Business Combination. Further, Ambulnz was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction; as such, the acquisition is considered to be a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.
Principles of Consolidation
In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), the Company assesses whether it has a variable interest in legal entities in which it has a financial relationship and, if so, whether or not those entities are VIEs. For those entities that qualify as VIEs, ASC 810 requires the Company to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and if so, to consolidate the VIE.
The Company holds variable interests in legal entities that contract with physicians and other health professionals in order to provide services to the Company. These entities are considered VIEs since they do not have sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. An enterprise having a controlling financial interest in a VIE must consolidate the VIE if it is the primary beneficiary, meaning it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company has the power and rights to control all activities of its VIEs and funds and absorbs all losses of its VIEs. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of its VIEs and therefore appropriately consolidates its VIEs.
Net loss for the Company’s VIEs were $235,976, $373,456 and $122,982 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The total assets amounted to $4,364,274 and $610,553 on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Total liabilities were $4,811,857 and $320,424 on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s VIEs total stockholders’ deficit were $447,583 and $290,130 on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including noncontrolling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill.
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. For transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and immediately expenses acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations.
The estimated fair value of net assets to be acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, is determined using established valuation techniques. Management uses assumptions on the basis of historical knowledge of the business and projected financial information of the target. These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually on December 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not to be impaired. These events include: (i) severe adverse industry or economic trends; (ii) significant company-specific actions, including exiting an activity in conjunction with restructuring of operations; (iii) current, historical or projected deterioration of our financial performance; or (iv) a sustained decrease in our market capitalization, as indicated by our publicly quoted share price, below our net book value.
On February 3, 2023, Ambulnz Health, LLC (“Health”), commenced an assignment for the benefit of creditors (“ABC”) pursuant to California law. An ABC is a liquidation process governed by state law (California law in this instance) that is an alternative to a bankruptcy case under federal law. Prior to commencing the ABC, Health ceased business operations and all of its employees were terminated and treated in accordance with California law. In the ABC, all of Health’s assets were transferred to an assignee (the “Assignee”) who acts as a fiduciary for creditors and in a capacity equivalent to that of a bankruptcy trustee. The Assignee is responsible for liquidating the assets. Similar to a bankruptcy case, there is a claims process. Creditors of Health received notice of the ABC and a proof of claim form and were required to submit a proof of claim in order to participate in distribution of net liquidation proceeds by the Assignee.
Based on such filing for Health, the Company impaired the goodwill assigned to that reporting unit as of December 31, 2022 by approximately $5.1 million.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
To determine revenue recognition for contractual arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify each contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the relevant performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services the Company provides to the customer.
The Company generates revenues from the provision of (1) Mobile Health Services and (2) Transportation Services. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company as the performance obligations are fulfilled; therefore the Company satisfies performance obligations immediately. The Company has utilized the “right to invoice” expedient, which allows an entity to recognize revenue in the amount of consideration to which the entity has the right to invoice when the amount that the Company has the right to invoice corresponds directly to the value transferred to the customer. Revenues are recorded net of an estimated contractual allowances for claims subject to contracts with responsible paying entities. The Company estimates contractual allowances at the time of billing based on contractual terms, historical collections or other arrangements. All transaction prices are fixed and determinable, which includes a fixed base rate, fixed mileage rate and an evaluation of historical collections by each payor.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or its tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
