- NET CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES OF $50.6 MILLION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 2022
- COMPANY EXPECTS TO OPEN 19 NEW FACILITIES BY MID-2025
HOUSTON, March 2, 2023 — Nutex Health Inc. (“Nutex Health” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NUTX), a physician-led, technology-enabled integrated healthcare delivery system comprised of 19 state-of-the-art micro hospitals in 8 states and primary care-centric, risk-bearing physician networks, today announced fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
Financial Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2022:
- Total revenue of $219.3 million.
- Net loss attributable to Nutex Health Inc. of $424.8 million. In Q3, the Company recognized a one-time non-cash impairment charge of $398.1 million to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill representing the excess over fair value of the assets acquired in the reverse business combination. Please read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 10-K.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million.
- Net cash from operating activities of $50.6 million.
- As of December 31, 2022, the Company had total assets of $431.8 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $34.3 million.
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022:
- Total revenue of $53.7 million.
- Net loss attributable to Nutex Health of $14.7 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA of ($5.9) million.
- Net cash from operating activities of $4.5 million.
Note: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial metrics. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is included below in this earnings release.
“Several factors affected our operating and financial results in 2022, including a significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge recognized in our third quarter, lower net revenue per patient visit due to the No Surprises Act and lower patient volumes due to fewer Covid-related visits,” stated Jon Bates, Chief Financial Officer of Nutex Health.
“We had a challenging 2022 but emerged as a stronger organization. Looking forward, we remain focused on strategic and operating initiatives that we believe will yield positive results in the future. First, we have solidified our revenue cycle management efforts specifically to cope with the IDR process related to NSA. Second, we are increasing efforts to collect co-pays and co-insurance. Third, we are making efforts to sign favorable contracts with insurers. Fourth, we are accelerating contracting with local physicians to join our IPAs. Fifth, we are ramping up our marketing efforts. And finally, our Board has started a portfolio rationalization initiative to review a few underperforming facilities,” stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health.
“We are intensely focused on executing on our long-term growth strategy. On the micro-hospital side, one new facility went operational about three weeks ago. We expect to open 5-6 more facilities this year, then 7-8 new facilities in 2024 and at least 5 more in 2025. On the independent practice association (“IPA”) side, we are happy to report that over 45 primary care physicians have joined our IPA in Houston, over 25 have joined in South Florida and we are just getting underway in Phoenix. We also plan to increase our investor relations efforts in 2023 by attending more healthcare investor conferences. We would also like to note that we now have two banking analysts covering our Company and stock,” stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., President of Nutex Health.
Notes to the Financial Highlights for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022:
- Nutex Health recognized a one-time non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $398.1 million in Q3 to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill representing the excess over fair value of the assets acquired in the reverse business combination.
- The Company recognized a one-time non-cash charge of $18.4 million, net to income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022 for the change in tax status of Nutex Health Holdco LLC and release of acquired valuation allowance for Clinigence. Prior to the merger with Clinigence, Nutex Health Holdco LLC and the Nutex Subsidiaries were pass-through entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes was provided for these periods as federal taxes were obligations of these companies’ members. After the merger, Nutex Health Holdco LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinigence and will be included in its future consolidated corporate tax filings.
- In our experience to date with the No Surprises Act (“NSA”), insurers often initially pay amounts lower than the Qualifying Payment Amount (“QPA”) which generally is the median in-network amount paid by the insurer without regard for other information relevant to the claim. This requires us to make appeals using the Independent Dispute Resolution (“IDR”) process. We are working within the established processes for the IDR and are having varying success at achieving collections higher than the established QPA. The NSA final rule, which became effective on October 25, 2022, is the subject of multiple legal challenges. It is difficult to predict the outcome of efforts to challenge or amend the final rule. Please read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 10-Q.
- On February 6, 2023, a Federal judge in Texas handed another win to the Texas Medical Association (“TMA”) and medical providers nationwide against the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) over a challenge to the arbitration process between out-of-network providers and insurers that was established under the No Surprises Act. The judge vacated all of the revised regulations challenged by the TMA, including the HHS’s rule that arbitrators must primarily consider the QPA.
- In the three months ended September 30, 2022, we reduced our estimate of the ultimate amounts of accounts receivable we will collect for prior periods due to the NSA. This change in estimate reduced revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 by approximately $29 million. Similar changes in estimates made in the first half of 2022 reduced accounts receivable and revenue by approximately $9.6 million.
- The Company anticipates opening 19 new facilities by mid-2025. These facilities are either under construction or in advanced planning stages. There can be no assurance that these new facilities will open in the anticipated timeframes or that they will open at all.
- The Company has a committed investment agreement for up to $100 million with Lincoln Park Capital which it has not used yet.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Nutex Health Inc. plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for stock-based compensation, certain defined items of expense, any acquisition-related costs and impairments. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.
