Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, as forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and in the section entitled “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements.” Those known risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the IPO Prospectus.
Executive Overview
We are the leading healthcare delivery platform by number of participants focused on providing all-inclusive, capitated care to high-cost, dual-eligible seniors. We directly address two of the most pressing challenges facing the U.S. healthcare industry: rising costs and poor outcomes. Our patient-centered care delivery approach meaningfully improves the quality of care our participants receive, while keeping them in their homes for as long as safely possible and reducing over-utilization of high-cost care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes. Our patient-centered approach is led by our interdisciplinary care teams (“IDTs”), who design, manage and coordinate each participant’s personalized care plan. We directly manage and are responsible for all healthcare needs and associated costs for our participants. We directly contract with government payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and do not rely on third-party administrative organizations or health plans. We believe our model aligns with how healthcare is evolving, namely (1) the shift toward value-based care, in which coordinated, outcomes-driven, high-quality care is delivered while reducing unnecessary spend, (2) eliminating excessive administrative costs by contracting directly with the government, (3) focusing on the patient experience and (4) addressing social determinants of health.
Recent Developments
On March 3, 2021, the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 with respect to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s common stock began trading on March 3, 2021 on Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the ticker symbol “INNV.”
On March 8, 2021, we completed our IPO in which we issued and sold 16,666,667 shares of common stock at an offering price of $21.00 per share. In addition, the underwriters exercised the option to purchase 2,329,234 additional shares of common stock. We received net proceeds of $373.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $23.9 million and deferred offering costs of $1.4 million. Deferred, direct offering costs were capitalized and consisted of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the sale of our common stock in the IPO, including the legal, accounting, printing and other offering related costs. Upon completion of the IPO, these deferred offering costs were recorded against the net proceeds from the offering.
The Company made an additional contribution of $52,000 to and obtained control of InnovAge California PACE-Sacramento, LLC (“InnovAge Sacramento”), effective January 1, 2021. Accordingly, beginning January 1, 2021, the results of InnovAge Sacramento are included in our consolidated results of operations. This resulted in a gain on consolidation of $10.9 million, which is recorded in gain on equity method investment on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Impact of COVID-19
The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) around the world and throughout the United States of America (“U.S.”) has altered the behavior of businesses and people, with significant negative effects on

federal, state and local economies, the duration of which continues to be uncertain at this time. The virus disproportionately impacts older adults, especially those with chronic illnesses, which describes our participants. We have experienced or expect to experience the following impacts on our business model due to COVID-19:
Care Model . Though the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the mix of settings where we deliver care, our multimodal model has ensured that our participants continue to receive the care they need. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have transitioned much of our care to in-home and telehealth services, while increasing participant visit volume and maintaining continuity of care. We closed all our centers on March 18, 2020 and transitioned to a 100% in-home and virtual care model that allowed for a seamless delivery of care. We structured our care teams to deliver in-home services that otherwise would have occurred at our centers. Our physicians are equipped with several telehealth platforms to provide virtual care and utilize the option best suited for each individual participant’s preferences and needs. Our aim is to keep the virtual setting simple to use, convenient and effective. If a participant lacks access to a device or is unable to use technology, we offer to provide them a device or dispatch a team member to their home to assist. For all of these reasons, our telehealth solution has received high satisfaction among participants, caregivers and IDTs. In addition to increased telehealth and in-home care, we have repurposed our existing infrastructure and workforce to support care delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Growth . As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, at the end of March 2020, we pivoted to a virtual enrollment model due to safety concerns for our employees and participants and to comply with local government ordinances. We also realigned our marketing strategy to increase our focus on digital channels during the COVID-19 pandemic and to reach those searching for senior care alternatives.
Revenue. Our revenue is capitated and not determined by the number of times we interact with our participants face-to-face. As of March 31, 2021, we had not experienced a decline in revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The capitation payments we receive from Medicare are risk-adjusted based on documented encounters and diagnosed conditions. Government payors require that participants’ health issues be documented annually regardless of the permanence of the underlying causes. Historically, this documentation has been required to be completed during an in-person visit with a participant, but Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) is now allowing documentation of conditions identified during qualifying telehealth visits with participants. Given the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unclear whether we will be able to document the health conditions of our participants as comprehensively as we did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may adversely impact Medicare risk adjustment factor (“RAF”) scores and our resulting revenue in future periods.
Expenses. Though the distribution of expenses across expense categories changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not experience material changes in our aggregate expenses. Our internal care delivery costs remained largely the same as we remained fully staffed to execute on our participants’ care plans, albeit through a different mix of care settings. Though we experienced fewer emergency room visits than normal in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the frail nature of our participant population necessitates very limited instances of deferrable care otherwise. As a result of the non-deferrable nature of most of our participants’ third-party medical needs, we experienced no material changes to total external provider costs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The United States continues to experience supply chain issues with respect to personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and other medical supplies used to prevent transmission of COVID-19. During 2020, we acquired significantly greater quantities of medical supplies at significantly higher prices than normal to ensure the safety of our employees and our participants. These incremental costs represent less than 1.4% of our total cost of care for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. While the price of PPE may remain higher than historical levels for the foreseeable future, we do not expect these incremental costs to be material as a percentage of our total expenses.

Key Factors Affecting Performance
Our historical financial performance has been, and we expect our financial performance in the future to be, driven by the following factors:
Our participants. We focus on providing all-inclusive care to frail, high-cost, dual-eligible seniors. We directly contract with government payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid, through PACE and receive a capitated risk-adjusted payment to manage the totality of a participant’s medical care across all settings. InnovAge manages participants that are, on average, more complex and medically fragile than other Medicare-eligible patients, including those in Medicare Advantage programs. As a result, we receive larger payments for our participants compared to Medicare Advantage participants. This is driven by two factors: (1) we manage a higher acuity population, with an average Medicare RAF score of 2.39 as of March 31, 2021 compared to an average RAF score of 1.08 for Medicare fee-for-service non-dual enrollees; and (2) we manage Medicaid spend in addition to Medicare.
Our participants are managed on a capitated, or at-risk, basis, where InnovAge is financially responsible for all of their medical costs, including primary and specialist care, in-home care, hospital visits, nutrition, transportation to our care centers and to other medical appointments, pharmacy and behavioral health. Our care model and payments are designed to cover participants from enrollment until the end of life, including coverage for participants requiring hospice and palliative care. For dual-eligible participants, we receive a risk-adjusted PMPM payment directly from Medicare and Medicaid, which provides recurring revenue streams and significant visibility into our revenue growth trajectory.
The Medicare portion of our capitated payment is risk-adjusted based on the underlying medical conditions and frailty of each participant. Our IDTs develop an individualized care plan specific to the needs of each participant. Our high touch model involves daily interaction with our participants across multiple settings. This enables us to not only deliver coordinated, high quality care, but also to identify and proactively manage changes to each participant’s conditions, which further supports our ability to more precisely report our participants’ condition to obtain appropriate Medicare RAF scores.
Our ability to grow enrollment and capacity within existing centers. We believe our demonstrated ability to drive sustained, organic census growth is a key indicator of the attractiveness of the InnovAge Platform to our key constituents: participants, their families and government payors. Since 2015 and through March 31, 2021, we have achieved 12% annual, organic census growth. Eligible participants can enroll in our program year-round, allowing us to continuously attract new participants and reducing seasonal variability in our results of operations.
Awareness of PACE programs remains low among potential participants, despite high levels of patient satisfaction. To improve awareness and attract new participants, our sales and marketing teams educate prospective participants and their families on our powerful value proposition, superior health outcomes and participant satisfaction. Our scale enables us to invest in targeted sales and marketing capabilities, which accelerates census growth. We take a multichannel approach to sales and marketing, relying on a mix of traditional community provider referrals and targeted direct-to-consumer digital marketing. We have realigned our marketing strategy to focus more on digital channels during the COVID-19 pandemic and to reach those searching for senior care alternatives. We are proud of the fact that the “friends and family” of our participants remain one of our largest referral sources.
Our ability to maintain high participant satisfaction and retention. Our comprehensive individualized care model and frequency of interaction with participants generates high levels of participant satisfaction. We have multiple touch points with participants and their families, which enhances participant receptivity to our services. Furthermore, historically, we have experienced low levels of voluntary disenrollment. Our historical disenrollments have been involuntary, due primarily to participant death and otherwise to participants re-locating out of our service areas.

Effectively managing the cost of care for our participants. We receive capitated payments to manage the totality of a participant’s medical care across all settings. Our participants are among the most frail and medically complex individuals in the U.S. healthcare system. Our care model focuses on delivering high-quality medical care in cost efficient, community-based settings as a means of avoiding costly inpatient and outpatient services. However, our participants retain the freedom to seek care at sites of their choice, including hospitals and emergency rooms; we do not restrict participant access to care. Since the Company bears the burden of all participant medical expenses, we are liable for potentially large medical claims, avoidable or not. We believe the risk of such large medical claims is mitigated by (1) our proactive care model, and (2) our scale, which diminishes the financial impact of any unexpected catastrophic care our participants may require.
Center-level contribution margin. We have a history of achieving profitable Center-level Contribution Margin. We define Center-level Contribution Margin as total revenues less external provider costs and cost of care, excluding depreciation and amortization, which includes all medical and pharmacy costs. For purposes of evaluating Center-level Contribution Margin on a center-by-center basis, we do not allocate our sales and marketing, corporate, or general and administrative expenses across our centers.
Our ability to build de novo centers within existing and new markets. We have proven our ability to expand and operationalize new centers across multiple geographies while generating consistent center-level performance. This performance highlights the predictability of our model and gives us conviction to continue investing in building new centers to drive long-term value creation.
We have a large addressable market with a target population estimated at approximately 2.2 million, representing seniors who we believe are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid and meet the nursing home level of care criteria for PACE. Based upon our success to date, we believe our innovative care model can scale nationally, and we expect to continue selectively and strategically expanding into new geographies. Our go to market approach prioritizes high-density urban and suburban areas, where there are sizable numbers of frail, dual-eligible seniors who would benefit from our program.
In our existing markets, we believe there is significant opportunity to expand our footprint by not only growing the physical footprint and participant census of existing centers, but also by developing new centers. These strategically developed new sites will allow us to leverage our established market brand and infrastructure.
We have a successful track record of building de novo centers with compelling unit economics. Once we have identified a location for a new center, it takes, on average, less than 27 months to open. We believe investments in de novo centers generate robust internal rates of return and accretive cash-on-cash returns.
Opening of de novo centers can also result in losses, generally related to pre-opening and start-up ramp, from the time the center opens and its first 24 months of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, de novo losses were approximately $0.3 million, respectively, for our Sacramento center in California and our Pennypack center in Philadelphia.
Execute tuck-in acquisitions. We believe there is a sizeable landscape of potential tuck-in acquisitions to supplement our organic growth strategy. We are disciplined in our approach to acquisitions and have executed multiple types of transactions, including turnarounds and non-profit conversions. When integrating acquired programs, we work closely with key constituencies, including local governments, health systems and senior housing providers, to ensure continuity of high-quality care for participants. Based on our experience, joining the InnovAge platform enables revenue growth and improved operational efficiency and care delivery post-integration. We believe our track record of and reputation for integrating and improving acquired organizations, while continuing to prioritize high-quality patient care, positions us as the acquirer of choice in this market.

Contracting with Government Payors. Our economic model relies on our capitated arrangements with government payors, namely Medicare and Medicaid. We view the government not only as a payor but also as a key partner in our efforts to expand into new geographies and access more participants in our existing markets. Maintaining, supporting and growing these relationships, particularly as we enter new geographies, is critical to our long-term success. Our model is aligned with the interests of our government payors, as we drive better health outcomes for participants at lower costs and enhance participant satisfaction. We believe this alignment of interests and our highly effective care model resonates with government payors and will result in continued opportunities to open and acquire centers.
Investing to Support Growth. We intend to continue investing in our centers, value-based care model, and sales and marketing organization to support long-term growth. We expect our expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future to support our growth, and due to additional costs we expect to incur as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq, additional corporate and director and officer insurance, investor relations and increased legal, audit, reporting and consulting fees. We plan to invest in future growth judiciously and maintain focus on managing our results of operations. Accordingly, in the short term we expect the activities noted above to increase our expenses as a percentage of revenue, but in the longer term, we anticipate that these investments will positively impact our business and results of operations.
Seasonality to our business. Our operational and financial results will experience some variability depending upon the time of year in which they are measured. This variability is most notable in the following areas:
Medical costs. Medical costs will vary seasonally depending on a number of factors, and most significantly as a result of the weather. Certain illnesses, such as the influenza virus, are far more prevalent during colder months of the year, which will result in an increase in medical expenses during these time periods. We therefore expect higher per-participant medical costs in our second and third fiscal quarters. Medical costs also depend upon the number of business days in a period, and shorter periods will have lower medical costs. Business days can also create year-over-year comparability issues if a period in one year has a different number of business days compared to the same period in another. We would also expect medical costs to be impacted by a pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which may result in increased or decreased total medical costs depending upon the severity of the relevant infection, the proximity of the spread of the disease to our centers, the duration of the infection and the availability of healthcare services for our participants.
Timing of risk score revenue true-ups. The Medicare portion of the capitated payments we receive for each participant is determined by a participant’s RAF score, which is measured twice per year and is based on the evolving acuity of a participant. We estimate and accrue for the expected Medicare RAF scores of our participants. Based on the difference between the Medicare RAF score we estimate and the Medicare RAF score determined by CMS, we may receive incremental true-up revenue or be required to repay certain amounts. Historically, these true-up payments typically occur between May and August, but the timing of these payments is determined by CMS, and we have neither visibility nor control over the timing of such payments.

Capitation revenue was $155.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $11.7 million, or 7%, compared to $144.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in census and rates, both of which increased Medicaid and Medicare revenue, partially offset by a low single digit rate decrease related to our participants in Colorado.
Capitation revenue was $464.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $51.6 million, or 11%, compared to $412.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in census and rates, both of which increased Medicaid and Medicare revenue, partially offset by a low single digit rate decrease related to our participants in Colorado.

Sales and marketing expenses were $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.0 million, or 21%, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount to support enrollment growth as well as a shift in marketing spend to the second half of fiscal year 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses were $14.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.7%, compared to $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We incurred lower marketing and sales expenses in the first half of fiscal year 2021 as a result of shifting marketing spend to the second half of fiscal year 2021.

Corporate, general and administrative expenses were $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $4.6 million, or 33%, compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily related to fees incurred as a result of the IPO.
Corporate, general and administrative expenses were $105.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $63.5 million, or 150%, compared to $42.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the fees incurred as a result of the Apax Transaction (as defined below) and the IPO. In connection with the Apax Transaction, $42.2 million was recorded related to the cancellation of stock options outstanding under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Incentive Plan”) and $13.1 million of transaction related costs were recorded as corporate, general and administrative expenses. In connection with the IPO transaction $1.5 million of transaction costs were recorded as corporate, general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $0.5 million, or 20%, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Depreciation and amortization expense was $9.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.0 million, or 11%, compared to $8.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This increase in both periods is the result of capital additions in the normal course of business.

We did not experience any equity loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.2 million compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Equity loss was $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.1 million compared to $0.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The changes related to the equity loss are derived from InnovAge Sacramento, which began operations in July 2020 and was accounted for as an equity method investee and subsequently became a consolidated entity effective January 1, 2021.

This change primarily represents the change in fair value related to contingent consideration and the payment of $20.0 million made under the acquisition agreement of the New Courtland LIFE Program during the three months ended March 31, 2021. There were no such payments during the nine months ended March 31, 2020.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $2.5 million, or 52%, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Interest expense, net was $17.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $5.8 million, or 34%, compared to $11.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a higher interest rate of 7.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 on the existing Term Loan Facility (as defined below) as a result of the July 27, 2020 amendment and restatement of our 2016 Credit Agreement (as defined below) and higher levels of outstanding borrowings during the nine months ended March 31, 2021.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and no loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020. On March 8, 2021, we entered into the 2021 Credit Agreement, which led to an extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million, including $6.0 million of a prepayment penalty.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was $14.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and no loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. On July 27, 2020, we amended and restated our 2016 Credit Agreement, which led to an extinguishment of debt for certain lenders and a modification of debt for other lenders. The total debt structure extinguishment for certain lenders led to the write-off of $1.0 million in debt issuance costs. On March 8, 2021, we entered into the 2021 Credit Agreement, which led to an extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million, including $6.0 million of a prepayment penalty.
Gain on equity method investment. Gain on equity method investment was $10.9 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and no amounts were recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020. Gain on equity method investment resulted from InnovAge Sacramento becoming a consolidated entity as of January 1, 2021.
Other. Other expense was less than $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 111%, compared to other income of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Other expense was $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.5 million, or 67%, compared to other income of $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The impact in 2021 is primarily a result of an amendment to the

warrants issued by the Company to Adventist Health System/West (“Sacramento Warrants”) which resulted in additional expense of $2.3 million.
Key business metrics and non-GAAP measures
In addition to our U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) financial information, we review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key metrics and non-GAAP measures, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe these non-GAAP metrics provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing our core operating performance from period to period and evaluating trends in historical operating results. These key business metrics and non-GAAP measures should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, and should be read in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial information presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled performance indicators used by other companies.

Centers
We define our centers as those centers open for business and attending to participants at the end of a particular period.
Census
Our census is comprised of our capitated participants for whom we are financially responsible for their total healthcare costs.
Total member months
We define Total Member Months as the total number of participants multiplied by the number of months within a year in which each participant was enrolled in our program. We believe this is a useful metric as it more precisely tracks the number of participants we serve annually.
Center-level contribution margin
We define Center-level Contribution Margin as total revenues less external provider costs and costs of care, excluding depreciation and amortization, which includes all medical and pharmacy costs. For purposes of evaluating Center-level Contribution Margin on a center-by-center basis, we do not allocate our sales and marketing expense or corporate, general and administrative expenses across our centers.
Center-level Contribution Margin was $41.4 million and $34.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $126.0 million and $95.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and provision for income tax as well as addbacks for non-recurring expenses or exceptional items, including charges relating to management equity compensation, final determination of rates, merger and acquisition transactions and the corresponding integration, business optimization, electronic medical records transition, special employee bonuses, consolidation of equity investee, financing-related fees and payment of contingent consideration.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had a net loss of $(10.9) million and net income of $8.0 million, respectively, representing a period over period decline of 235%, while Adjusted EBITDA was $20.3 million and $17.6 million, respectively, representing a period over period growth rate of 15%.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had a net loss of $(51.1) million and net income of $13.8 million, respectively, representing a period over period decline of 470%, while Adjusted EBITDA was $65.9 million and $42.9 million, respectively, representing a period over period growth rate of 54%.

Adjusted EBITDA margin
Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of our total revenue less any exceptional, one-time revenue items.
In the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized the CMS settlement payment related to end stage renal disease beneficiaries for calendar years 2010-2020 in the amount of approximately $2.2 million, which is deducted from total revenue solely for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA margin.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our net income margin increased from 5.5% to (6.9)%, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded from 12.2% to 13.0%, respectively.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our net income margin increased from 3.3% to (11.0)%, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded from 10.4% to 14.2%, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental measures of operating performance monitored by management that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and that do not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net income and net income margin, respectively, as determined by U.S. GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are appropriate measures of operating performance because the metrics eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate to our ongoing business performance, allowing us to more effectively evaluate our core operating performance and trends from period to period. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin help investors and analysts in comparing our results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other U.S. GAAP financial measures, including net income and net income margin. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry.
Liquidity and capital resources
General
To date, we have financed our operations principally through cash flows from operations and through borrowings under our credit facilities, and most recently from the sales of common stock. As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $201.5 million. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of highly liquid investments in demand deposit accounts and cash.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our actual results could vary because of, and our future capital requirements will depend on, many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to open new centers and the expansion of sales and marketing activities. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
On May 13, 2016, we entered into a credit agreement with Capital One Financial Corporation (the “2016 Credit Agreement”). The 2016 Credit Agreement was subsequently amended and amended and restated a number of
41
Table of Contents
times. In March 2020, we borrowed $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility to ensure sufficient funds available due to the uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and for general corporate purposes. Those borrowings have been repaid in full.
On March 8, 2021, concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) that replaced the 2016 Credit Agreement. The 2021 Credit Agreement consists of a senior secured term loan of $75.0 million and a revolving credit facility of $100.0 million. Principal on the senior secured term loan is paid each calendar quarter beginning September 2021 in an amount equal to 1.25% of the initial term loan on closing date. Proceeds of the new senior secured loan, together with proceeds from the IPO, were used to repay amounts outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement.
Any outstanding principal amounts under the 2021 Credit Agreement accrue interest at a variable interest rate. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on the senior secured term loan was 1.94%. Under the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement, the revolving credit facility fee accrues at 0.25% of the average daily unused amount and is paid quarterly. There is also an immaterial administrative fee. As of March 31, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility and, therefore, had full capacity thereunder. As of March 31, 2021, we also had $2.4 million outstanding under our convertible term loan. Monthly principal and interest payments are approximately $0.02 million, and the loan bears interest at an annual rate of 6.68%. The remaining principal balance is due upon maturity, which is August 20, 2030.
For more information about our debt, see Note 8. Long Term Debt, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business and to repay indebtedness and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Operating activities

The principal contributors to the year-over-year change in operating cash flows were as follows:
● net loss of $(50.5) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $14.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 decreased primarily due to expenses related to the Apax Transaction, the IPO, and the $20.0 million payment made under the acquisition agreement of the New Courtland LIFE Program that resulted in a non-reoccurring Corporate, general and administrative expense totaling $55.3 million;
42
Table of Contents
● deferred income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 of $(3.5) million as compared to $0.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 changed primarily due to disallowed officers’ compensation under IRC Section 162(m); and
● increase in amounts due to Medicare and Medicaid of $12.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to ($5.2) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 due to HCPF reconciliation and settlement process.
Investing activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $16.1 million, an increase of $8.3 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $7.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 due primarily to growth-related capital expenditures.
Financing activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $122.3 million primarily due to IPO net proceeds of $373.6 million, partially offset by net payments on long-term debt of $137.6 million in debt payments, treasury stock purchases of $77.6 million, and stock option cancellation payments of $32.4 million.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was $22.7 million primarily due to net borrowings on long-term debt for $23.6 million.
Contractual obligations and commitments

JOBS Act
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, only being required to present two years of audited financial statements, plus unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for applicable interim periods and the related discussion in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.

Table of Contents
In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under the JOBS Act until we are no longer an emerging growth company. Our election to use the phase-in periods permitted by this election may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the longer phase-in periods permitted under the JOBS Act and who will comply with new or revised financial accounting standards. If we were to subsequently elect instead to comply with public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to the JOBS Act.
Critical accounting policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial position are unclear, however, we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.
For a description of our policies regarding our critical accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Policies” in the IPO Prospectus. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimate policies or methodologies to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
