FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Oncology Institute Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021
Financial Results and Provides Strong Growth Outlook for 2022

CERRITOS, Calif. – March 10, 2022 The Oncology Institute (NASDAQ: TOI), one of the largest value-based community oncology groups in the United States, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021 and provided an update on its business including guidance for the year ending December 31, 2022.

"We are very proud of the excellent care TOI delivered to our patients and communities in 2021, and we are excited to grow our business and help make a profound difference in the lives of our patients in 2022,” said Brad Hively, CEO of The Oncology Institute. “In 2021, we achieved record revenue of $203 million and we finished the year at approximately 1.6 million lives managed under value-based contracts. Notably, after the completion of our business combination transaction in November, we ended 2021 with over $115 million of cash on our balance sheet and no debt. With this infusion of capital, we closed four acquisitions in the final six weeks of the year, welcoming these highly-regarded practices to the TOI family. With this strong momentum and increased financial flexibility, we believe we are well positioned to execute our growth strategy by entering additional new markets in Florida and Texas in 2022 and accelerating our pace of adding new providers and opening new clinics."

2021 and Recent Operational Highlights

Ended 2021 with approximately 1.6 million lives under value-based contracts
Cared for over 51,000 unique patients in 2021 and had over 230,000 patient visits at owned clinics
Commenced four new capitated payor contracts in California since mid-2021
Acqui-hired three medical oncology practices in the Los Angeles market in the fourth quarter
Hired twelve new providers in the fourth quarter, representing 18% growth over the prior year period
Acquired first radiation oncology practice, based in Los Angeles, Calif. in the fourth quarter
Opened 54th clinic site in February 2022 in Lakeland, Fla., an increase of 14 clinics from year end 2020

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $52 million, a 6.8% increase over the fourth quarter of 2020.

Revenue for the Patient Services segment was $32 million, up 6.3% year-over-year. Growth in Patient Services was driven by an increase in capitated contracts. The increase was offset by declines in FFS revenue as a result of transitioning FFS contracts to capitation, as well as due to a $2 million adjustment to revenue related to a payor in 2021 that is not paying according to their contract. Moreover, TOI closed on four practice acquisitions in the fourth quarter, which accounted for approximately $1 million of revenue. Dispensary revenue increased 9.6% year-over-year. Growth in Dispensary revenue was due to an increase in the average revenue per script fill. Clinical Trials & Other revenue declined by 13.7% year-over-year due to the COVID-19 pandemic which had a negative impact on clinical trial volumes in 2021.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter was $8 million, a decrease of 23.1% year-over-year. The decline was driven by investments in new providers and clinics and the impact of the one-time revenue adjustment.




SG&A expenses were $48 million or 92.2% of revenue, compared with $15 million, or 30.7% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. Employee expenses increased due to the addition of team members, clinic sites, technology, and other infrastructure to support revenue growth. During the fourth quarter, share-based compensation expense as a result of the business combination was $24 million and SG&A related to public company costs was $8 million.

Net loss was $10 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $(5) million, with a year-over-year decrease of $7 million, primarily as the result of our growth in SG&A as we prepare for expansion into new markets, as well as SG&A expenses necessary for TOI to operate as a public company and the impact of the one-time revenue adjustment.

Full Year 2021 Results

Consolidated revenue for the year was $203 million, a 8.3% increase over prior year.

Revenue for the Patient Services segment was $124 million, up 6.2% year-over-year. Growth in Patient Services was driven by an increase in capitated contracts. The increase was offset by declines in FFS revenue as a result of transitioning FFS contracts to capitation as well as due to a $2 million adjustment to revenue related to a payor in 2021 that is not paying according to their contract. Dispensary revenue increased 13.6% year-over-year. Growth in Dispensary revenue was due to an increase in the average revenue per script fill. Clinical Trials & Other revenue declined by 6.3% year-over-year. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on clinical trial volumes in 2021.

Gross profit for the year was $41 million, an increase of 10.8% year-over-year driven by an increase in at-risk members and improved FFS drug margins and related capitation revenue, offset by investments in new providers and clinics and the impact of the one-time revenue adjustment.

SG&A expenses were $83 million or 41.1% of revenue, compared with $42 million, or 22.3% of revenue, last year. Year-over-year, employee expenses increased due to the addition of team members, clinic sites, technology, and other infrastructure to support revenue growth. During the fourth quarter, share-based compensation expense as a result of the business combination was $24 million and SG&A related to public company costs was $8 million.

Net loss was $11 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $(5) million, with a year-over-year decrease of $11 million, primarily as the result of our growth in SG&A as we prepare for expansion into new markets, as well as SG&A expenses necessary for TOI to operate as a public company and the impact of the one-time revenue adjustment.

At December 31, 2021 cash and cash equivalents totaled $115 million. Cash outflows from operations was $33 million. Cash outflows from investing activities was $12 million, including $9 million related to acquisitions and $3 million for capital expenditures to relocate, expand or refresh our clinics. TOI ended the year with no debt outstanding.

2022 Outlook

2022 Guidance
Revenue$270 to $310 million, representing approximately 33% to 53% growth over 2021 revenue
Gross Profit$50 to $60 million
Adjusted EBITDA(1)
$(20) to $(25) million
Value-based lives(2)
1.75 million to 2.0 million lives, representing approximately 9% to 25% growth over year-end 2021 lives
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric. See "Financial Information: Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. TOI is not reasonably able to provide a reconciliation to net (loss) income due to uncertainties regarding taxes, share-based compensation and other non-cash items. TOI expects interest expense in the range of $0.5 million and $1 million, other adjustment add backs in the range of $4 million and $6 million and depreciation and amortization in the range of $4 million and $6 million. TOI is not adding back new clinic startup or acquisition cost for this non-GAAP metric.

(2) Represents lives under capitation and gain sharing contracts.

TOI’s 2022 guidance reflects expected strong year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 33% to 53%, driven by expansion of its value-based contracts and continued growth in new markets. To deliver on its growth strategy, TOI is executing on its pipeline of hiring new affiliated providers, establishing de novo clinics, as well as closing on



acqui-hires of oncology practices that will position TOI to deliver better quality care at a lower cost for patients, payors, and employers.

TOI continues to grow in existing and new markets throughout California, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona and plans to enter Texas in 2022. TOI has also added a new service line with the addition of its first Radiation Oncology practice in the fourth quarter of 2021. The large and growing populations of Medicare Advantage members and value-based primary care groups, paired with TOI’s deep experience partnering with risk-bearing entities, position TOI for significant future growth. Notably, TOI is now projecting to manage a population of 1.75 million to 2.0 million value-based lives by year-end 2022, representing approximately 9% to 25% growth over year-end 2021 lives.

As TOI builds its presence in new markets, many of its new contracts will feature gain sharing contracts rather than capitation. These new contracts enable TOI to work with payors and risk-bearing providers as they continue their shift to value-based care models. Gain sharing contracts are likely to produce lower revenue in the initial period as compared to full capitation; however, gain sharing contracts generally do not expose TOI to downside risk in the same way capitation contracts do. TOI believes these contracts will shift to capitation once payors and risk-bearing providers in these new markets become comfortable with TOI’s ability to generate savings and better outcomes. TOI also expects higher public company costs than previously forecast, largely due to elevated directors and officers insurance costs. TOI continues to invest in its corporate infrastructure and related G&A expenses to execute on its growth plan.

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the accuracy of the assumptions underlying the 2022 outlook discuss herein, the outcome of judicial and administrative proceedings to which TOI may become a party or governmental investigations to which TOI may become subject that could interrupt or limit TOI’s operations, result in adverse judgments, settlements or fines and create negative publicity; changes in TOI’s clients’ preferences, prospects and the competitive conditions prevailing in the healthcare sector; failure to continue to meet stock exchange listing standards; the impact of COVID-19 on the TOI’s business; those factors discussed in the documents of TOI filed, or to be filed, with the SEC.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). TOI believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to assess operational performance and trends in, and in comparing our financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. TOI’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in TOI's financial statements. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release in conjunction with TOI’s financial statements and the related notes thereto.

TOI defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income plus depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes, non-cash items, share-based comp and other adjustments to add-back the following: board fees, consulting and legal fees related to acquisitions, one-time consulting and legal fees related to certain advisory projects, software implementations and debt or equity financings, severance expense and temp labor and recruiting charges to build out our corporate infrastructure. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP metric, is set forth below.
