Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The discussion and analysis below contain certain forward-looking statements about our business and operations that are subject to the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” included in Part I, Item 1A, and other factors included elsewhere in this Annual Report. These risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Certain figures included in this section, such as interest rates and other percentages, have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this section have, in some cases, been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our Consolidated Financial Statements or in the associated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding.
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, including as a result of changes in the U.S. administration and administrative priorities; availability of healthcare professionals and other personnel; changes in the cost of labor; our competitive environment; overall macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including the interest rate environment, 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, the availability of trained and licensed healthcare professionals, 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. However, the inflation rate declined throughout most of 2024, and the annual inflation rate declined to 2.9% for the full year 2024 from 4.1% in 2023 and 8.0% in 2022. The increased inflation rate witnessed between 2021 and 2024 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 addition, opportunities to mitigate the impact of inflation are limited, aside from potentially buying more medical supplies than are currently needed in an effort to reduce the volume of future purchases, in instances where supply prices are anticipated to rise. As inflation has moderated, and in an attempt to stimulate economic growth, the U.S. Federal Reserve implemented three interest rate cuts in 2024, lowering its benchmark rate to the current level of 4.25-4.50% as of the date of this Annual Report. Looking into 2025, we anticipate that the inflation rate will remain at or near the currently more moderate level, with an annual rate similar to those witnessed in 2024 and 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
56
Table of Contents
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, 2024, the Company did not complete any acquisitions. 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 an aggregate purchase price of $69.1 million.
Overview
DocGo is a mobile healthcare services company that uses proprietary dispatch and communication technology to help provide quality mobile, in-person medical treatment directly to patients in the comfort of their homes, workplaces and other non-traditional locations, as well as medical transportation in major metropolitan cities in the United States and the United Kingdom.
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, 2024 the Company recorded net income of $13.4 million, compared to net income of $10.0 million and $30.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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.
Government Contracts
In recent years, the Company’s government contract work has represented a substantial portion of its overall revenue, and maintaining and continuing to grow this revenues stream is an important part of the Company’s growth strategy. However, government contract work is subject to risks and uncertainties. For example, in the second quarter of 2023, the Company began providing services to the recent migrant population in New York City and in upstate New York. Some of these services were provided pursuant to a contract with an ending date during the second quarter of 2024. While
57
Table of Contents
a portion of that contract wa s extended through December 31, 2024, other services began to wind down in May 2024. The wind-down of all services under such contract was completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. While the exact timing of the wind-down of the remaining services under other contracts is still unknown, the wind-down of services is underway and the Company expects that the revenues from these migrant-related projects will be significantly lower in 2025 than they were in 2024 and in the second half of 2023.
In addition, government contract work subjects the Company to government audits, investigations and proceedings, which could lead to the Company to being barred from government work or subjected to fines if it is determined that a statute, rule, regulation, policy or contractual provision has been violated. Audits can also lead to adjustments to the amount of contract costs that the Company believes are reimbursable or to the ultimate amount the Company may be paid under the agreement. Furthermore, a loss of government contract work, if not offset by revenues from new or other existing customers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
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 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 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,
58
Table of Contents
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, 2024, total revenues were $616.6 million, a decrease of $7.7 million, or 1.2%, from the total revenues recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Mobile Health Services
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Mobile Health Services revenues were $423.1 million, a decrease of $19.7 million, or 4.4%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023. The decline in revenues was primarily due to the ongoing wind-down of migrant-related services, which had ramped up sharply in the third quarter of 2023 and peaked in the first quarter of 2024. Starting in the second quarter of 2023, the Company began providing services to the recently arrived migrant population in New York City and in upstate New York. These projects, which included both medical and non-medical services, such as shelter and security, expanded throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2023 and into the first quarter of 2024. However, some of these services were provided pursuant to a contract with an ending date during the second quarter of 2024. A portion of that contract was extended through December 31, 2024, while other services began to wind down in May 2024. The wind-down of all services under such contract was completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. While the exact timing of the wind-down of the remaining migrant-related services under other contracts is still unknown, the wind-down of those services is underway and the Company expects that the revenues from any remaining migrant-related projects will be significantly lower in 2025 than they were in 2024. While we expect to launch new Mobile Health Services projects in 2025 and to expand existing projects, we expect that the Mobile Health Services segment’s revenues will be lower in 2025 than they were in 2024.
Transportation Services
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Transportation Services revenues were $193.5 million, an increase of $12.0 million, or 6.6%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was due to a 13.7% increase in trip volumes, from 250,114 trips for the year ended December 31, 2023 to 284,498 trips for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in trip volumes was due to a combination of the expansion in the Company’s customer base in certain core markets, as well as an increase in volumes from existing customers. Our average trip price decreased slightly from $407 in the year ended December 31, 2023 to $401 in the year ended December 31, 2024. The decline in the average trip price in the 2024 period reflected a small shift in mix toward markets that have somewhat lower-priced transports when compared to 2023. However, the average trip price remains well above the levels of 2022 and prior years, reflecting a shift in mix toward higher-priced transports with existing customers, as well as the acquisition of licenses to provide higher acuity transports that earn higher prices per trip.
Cost of revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2024, total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased by 6.0% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, while revenues decreased by approximately 1.2%. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 65.4% in the year ended December 31, 2024 from 68.7% in the year ended December 31, 2023.
Total cost of revenues in the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $25.9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $4.7 million decrease in total compensation, a $24.0 million decrease in subcontracted labor costs, and a $6.9 million decrease in medical and related supplies, all driven by the wind-down of migrant-related projects that began in the second quarter of 2024. These declines were partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million in vehicle costs, due to the increase in the size of the Company’s fleet and a net increase of $5.9 million across several other cost of revenues categories.
For the Mobile Health Services segment, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $269.3 million, down 12.1% from $306.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 63.6% from 69.1% in the prior year period, despite a decline in revenues, reflecting lower compensation expenses, significantly lower subcontracted labor costs and decreased costs for medical supplies, all reflecting the wind-down in migrant-related projects that began in the second quarter of 2024.
61
Table of Contents
For the Transportation Services segment, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $133.7 million, up 9.0% from $122.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to 69.1% from 67.6% in the prior year, reflecting increased labor costs, subcontractor costs and vehicle costs, due to the continued growth of the business.
Operating expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2024, operating expenses were $184.9 million compared to $180.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $4.6 million, or 2.6%. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased from 28.9% in 2023 to 30.0% in 2024. The increase of $4.6 million related primarily to a $3.7 million increase in professional fees, due to increased legal, accounting and other fees, and a $1.0 million increase in IT infrastructure, driven by the Company’s business expansion, partially offset by a $0.1 million net decrease across a variety of expense categories.
For the Mobile Health Services segment, operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2024 were $59.8 million, up 6.2% from $56.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 14.1% from 12.7% in 2023, due to the decrease in Mobile Health Services revenues, and reflecting significant expenditures that were made during 2024 related to the expansion of services and geographic areas of operation, as well as the costs of developing the Company’s programs to provide care-gap closure and other services to members of new insurance provider partners.
For the Transportation Services segment, operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2024 were $61.8 million, up 12.0% from $55.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in operating expenses for this segment was driven primarily by higher insurance expense and office expenses, reflecting the expansion of the business. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 31.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024 from 30.4% in the year ended December 31, 2023.
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, 2024 were $63.3 million, down 8.0% from $68.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses for this segment was driven by lower compensation costs, due to targeted headcount reductions during the year, partially offset by an increase in professional fees. Corporate expenses amounted to approximately 10.3% of total consolidated revenues in 2024, compared to 11.0% in 2023.
Interest (expense) income, net
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded approximately $1.9 million of interest expense, net compared to $1.7 million of interest income, net in the year ended December 31, 2023. Interest expenses on borrowings under the Revolving Facility outweighed interest earned on balances in the Company’s interest-bearing accounts in the year ended December 31, 2024. Prior to October 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under the Company’s line of credit.
Change in fair value of contingent liability
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a change in fair value of contingent liability of approximately $9.4 million, reflecting a reduction in the anticipated payments to be made for an acquisition, based upon performance compared to certain targets. 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 reduction in the anticipated payments to be made for a recent acquisition, based upon performance compared to certain targets.
Finite-lived intangible asset impairment
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded finite-lived intangible asset impairment of approximately $8.3 million, relating to the projected value of the customer relationships for Cardiac RMS, LLC, arising from a revised long-term forecast for the business. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not record any finite-lived intangible asset impairment.
Loss on equity method investments
During the year ended December 31, 2024, 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, 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.
Gain (loss) on disposal of fixed assets
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain on disposal of fixed assets of $23,682, compared to a loss on disposal of fixed assets of $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Other income (expense)
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded other income of $0.2 million, compared to other expense of $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.
(Provision for) benefit from income taxes
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $14.4 million compared to an income tax provision of $6.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increased tax expense in 2024 was primarily due to the recording of significantly higher pretax income in the 2024 period, as compared to the 2023 period.
Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of approximately $6.6 million compared to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenues

Table of Contents
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 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.

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.
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 private placement of Common Stock that closed concurrently with the Business Combination, 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, 2024 , 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, 2024 , 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 has been evident at different times during the second half of 2023 and during the first quarter of 2024, leading to a draw down in the Company’s credit line during the fourth quarter of 2023 and during 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. On February 8, 2024, the Company drew down an additional $15.0 million. On February 27, 2024, the Company repaid all amounts then outstanding under the Revolving Facility. However, in March 2024, the Company once again drew down under the Revolving Facility, and there was a total of $30.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility 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, 2024, available cash totaled $89.2 million, which represented an increase of $30.0 million compared to December 31, 2023, reflecting a decline in accounts receivable during the year ended December 31, 2024, as the Company collected some of its larger invoices. As of December 31, 2024, working capital amounted to $182.7 million, which represented an increase of $13.9 million compared to December 31, 2023, as an increase in cash and a decline in accrued liabilities outweighed a decline in accounts receivable. Despite the increase in cash, current assets declined by $34.4 million, due to a drop in accounts receivable and in prepaid expenses. However, this was outweighed by the decline in current liabilities in the year ended December 31, 2024, due to lower accrued liabilities, reflecting lower invoices and accrued liabilities in the current period for certain expenses, such as subcontracted labor, and as the Company paid down a significant amount of its accrued liabilities during the year-to-date period. Current liabilities also declined due a decrease in

Operating Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $70.3 million, aided by net income of $13.4 million. Non-cash charges amounted to $37.4 million, which primarily consisted of $10.2 million in depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, $5.7 million from amortization of intangible assets, $13.6 million of stock compensation expense, $5.2 million in bad debt expense, an $8.3 million impairment of a finite-lived intangible asset, $3.5 million in deferred taxes and a loss of $0.3 million from an investment that is accounted for under the equity method. These were partially offset by a non-cash gain of $9.4 million resulting from a reduction in the fair value of contingent consideration. Changes in assets and liabilities resulted in approximately $19.5 million in positive operating cash flow, as a $41.3 million decrease in accounts receivable, reflecting collections of invoices from large municipal customers, an $8.5 million increase in accounts payable and a $13.0 million decrease in prepaid expenses were partially offset by a $41.9 million decrease in accrued liabilities and a $1.4 million increase in other assets.
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.

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
Principles of Consolidation
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“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 has entered into management services agreements (“MSAs”) with professional corporations (“PCs”) that employ or contract with physicians and other health professionals in order to provide healthcare services to the public. Each such PC is established and operated pursuant to the requirements of its respective domestic jurisdiction governing the practice of medicine. The Company provides each PC with everything the PC needs to operate except for clinicians, which the PC is responsible for. Without the administrative services, software, intellectual property and administrative personnel (among other things) provided by the Company, the PCs could not carry out their businesses. Moreover, the PCs do not have sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. Based on the foregoing, these entities are considered VIEs, and 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). In accordance with corporate practice of medicine restrictions, all clinical treatment decisions are made solely by licensed healthcare professionals engaged by the PCs. Nevertheless, the PCs cannot operate without the Company through the MSAs; therefore, the Company significantly impacts the economic performance of the PCs and funds and absorbs all losses of its PCs. The Company has therefore determined that it is the primary economic beneficiary of the PCs and appropriately consolidates them as VIEs.
Net loss for the Company’s VIEs were $231,952, $235,976 and $373,456 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The total assets amounted to $20,837,325 and $4,364,274 on December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total liabilities were $21,516,860 and $4,811,857 on December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s VIEs total stockholders’ deficit were $679,535 and $447,583 on December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Self-Insurance Reserves
The Company self-insures a number of risks, including, but not limited to, workers’ compensation, general liability, auto liability and certain employee-related healthcare benefits. Standard actuarial procedures and data analysis are used to estimate the liabilities associated with these risks on an undiscounted basis. The recorded liabilities reflect the ultimate cost for claims incurred but not paid and any estimable administrative run-out expenses related to the processing of these outstanding claim payments. On a regular basis, the liabilities are evaluated for appropriateness with claims reserve valuations. To limit exposure to some risks, the Company maintains insurance coverage with varying limits and retentions, including stop-loss insurance coverage for workers’ compensation, general liability and auto liability.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 . For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and due to seller, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values as it is short term in nature. The notes payable are presented at their carrying value, which, based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, approximates its fair values.
Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. Future changes in fair value of the contingent consideration, as a result of changes in significant inputs such as the discount rate and estimated probabilities of financial milestone achievements, could have a material effect on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets in the period of the change.
Accounts Receivable
The Company contracts with hospitals, healthcare facilities, businesses, state and local government entities, and insurance providers to provide Mobile Health Services and Transportation Services at specified rates. These rates are either on a per procedure or per transport basis, or on an hourly or daily basis. Accounts receivable consist of billings for healthcare and transportation services provided to patients. Billings typically are either paid or settled on the patient’s behalf by health insurance providers, managed care organizations, treatment facilities, government sponsored programs or businesses or patients directly. The Company generally does not require collateral for accounts receivable .
Accounts receivable are net of insurance provider contractual allowances, which are estimated at the time of billing based on contractual terms or other arrangements. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable, net which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable, net and changes in this allowance are recorded within general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The carrying amount of accounts receivable represents the maximum credit risk exposure of these assets. On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Federal Accounting Standards Board ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , the Company evaluates the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable balances to determine an allowance for credit loss that reflects its best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses. Individual uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual account does not appear probable.
Under the current expected credit loss impairment model, the Company develops and documents its allowance for credit losses on its trade receivables based on a single portfolio segment. The Company assesses collectability by aggregating and reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis for customers that share similar risk characteristics. Additionally, when accounts receivable do not share risk characteristics with other accounts receivables, management will evaluate such accounts receivable for expected credit loss on an individual specific identification basis when the Company identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s accounts receivables, the estimate of expected credit loss is based on the aging of accounts using an aging schedule as of period ends. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collection history based on past due status, the current aging of receivables, customer-specific credit risk factors including their current financial condition, current market conditions, and probable future economic conditions which inform adjustments to historical loss patterns.
As of January 1, 2024, the Company held a beginning balance in its allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable of $6,276,454. The Company recognized an additional provision for credit losses of $4,384,866 and write offs of $(4,787,379) during the year. The Company’s balance in its allowance for credit losses amounted to $5,873,942 as of December 31, 2024 .
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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the recorded amount of long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the recorded amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets targeted for disposal are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
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.
