**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the "Amendment" or "Form 10-Q/A") to amend our Quarterly Report Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 9, 2025 (the "Original Form 10-Q"). The purpose of this amendment is to restate our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information in the Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment also restates our previous conclusion and disclosure with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

**Restatement Background**

As previously disclosed, on July 24, 2025, our Chief Financial Officer, after meeting with the members of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors to discuss the matters disclosed herein and in consultation with BDO USA, P.C. ("BDO"), our independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 contained in the Original Form 10-Q (the "Previously Issued Financial Statements") contained a material error and should be restated, which conclusion was thereafter formally ratified by our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors. This determination occurred following discussions of the matter among BDO, officers of our company and members of our Board of Directors. Accordingly, investors and all other persons should no longer rely upon the Previously Issued Financial Statements included in the Original Form 10-Q. In addition, any previously issued or filed earnings releases, investor presentations or other communications describing the Previously Issued Financial Statements and other related financial information covering these periods should no longer be relied upon.

This Amendment is being filed to restate certain disclosures and financial statements to reflect the correction of a misapplication of accounting guidance related to the valuation methodology used in connection with the fair value measurement of certain assets held for sale within discontinued operations. Upon further evaluation, we determined that the original methodology applied was not consistent with the relevant requirements of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and as such, adjustments were necessary to accurately present our financial position and results of operations.

**Other Amended Filings**

In addition to this Form 10-Q/A, we are concurrently filing an amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Form 10-K/A") to restate our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements and related financial information presented therein and to restate our previous conclusion and disclosure with respect to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.

**Internal Control Considerations**

As a result of this restatement, management has re-evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025. Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2025, due to a material weakness in internal controls over the accounting of complex areas, specifically the accounting of estimated impairment related to assets held for sale and the application of valuation methodologies impacting impairment charges related to assets held for sale.

For a discussion of management's considerations of our internal control over financial reporting and the material weakness identified, refer to Controls and Procedures in Part I, Item 4.

**Items Amended in this Form 10-Q/A**

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety. As a result, it includes both items that have been changed as a result of the restatement and items that are unchanged from the Original Form 10-Q. The following items in the Original Form 10-Q have been amended as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Part II, Item 6, Exhibits

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as exhibits to this Form 10-Q/A pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350).

Investors should rely only on the financial information and other disclosures regarding the restated period in this Form 10-Q/A or in future filings with the SEC (as applicable), and not on any previously issued or filed reports, earnings releases or similar communications relating to this period.

See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I of this Form 10-Q/A, for additional information on the restatement and the related condensed consolidated financial statement effects.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other disclosures in the Original Form 10-Q. In addition, the information contained in this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the Original Form 10-Q and does not modify or update the disclosures therein, except to reflect the effects of the restatement. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with our other filings with the SEC.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

*The specific forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A include the following:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our plan to continue our rapid and franchised-focused expansion of chiropractic clinics in key markets throughout North America, and potentially abroad, as we seek to be the leading provider of chiropractic care in the markets we serve and to become the most recognized brand in our industry;* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our belief that our monthly performance reports from our system and our clinics include key performance indicators per clinic, including gross sales, comparable same-store sales growth, or "Comp Sales," number of new patients, conversion percentage and membership attrition;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our plan to refranchise or sell the full portfolio of our company-owned or managed clinics, which refined strategy will leverage our greatest strength - our capacity to build a franchise - to drive long-term growth for both our franchisees and The Joint as a public company;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our plan to continue to leverage the power of the regional developer program to accelerate the number of clinics sold, and eventually opened, across the country;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our belief that we continue to have a sound business concept and will benefit from the fundamental changes taking place in the manner in which Americans access chiropractic care and their growing interest in seeking effective, affordable natural solutions for general wellness;* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our belief that these trends join with the preference we have seen among chiropractic doctors to reject the insurance-based model resulting in a combination that benefits the consumer and the service provider alike, and our belief that these forces create an important opportunity to accelerate the growth of our network;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our belief that recent events that may impact our business include unfavorable global economic or political conditions, such as uncertainties that come with changes to the presidential administration, labor shortages, and inflation and other cost increases;* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our anticipation that* 2025 *will continue to be a volatile macroeconomic environment;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our belief that we have created a robust framework for the refranchising effort, organizing clinics into clusters, and generating comprehensive disclosure packets for marketing efficiency, and that we have received significant interest to date from our existing franchisees;*

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our goal to generate significant processes that will provide us with value creating capital allocation opportunities, which opportunities could include, but are not limited to, reinvestment in the brand and related marketing, continued investment in our IT platforms, the repurchase of regional development ("RD") territories, certain merger or acquisition opportunities and/or a stock repurchase program;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our belief that our operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing of new clinic sales, openings, closures, markets in which they are contained and related expenses, general economic conditions, cost inflation, labor shortages, consumer confidence in the economy, consumer preferences, competitive factors, and disease epidemics and other health-related concerns;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our belief that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our anticipated cash flows from operations and amounts available under our line of credit will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating and investment needs for at least the next 12 months;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our belief that we have adequate capital resources and sufficient access to external financing sources to satisfy our current and reasonably anticipated requirements for funds to conduct our operations and meet other needs in the ordinary course of our business; and*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *our expectation that for the remainder of 2025, we expect to use or redeploy our cash resources to support our business within the context of prevailing market conditions, which, given the ongoing uncertainties described above, could rapidly and materially deteriorate or otherwise change.*

*Some of the important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• the nationwide labor shortage has negatively impacted our ability to recruit chiropractors and other qualified personnel, which may limit our growth strategy, and the measures we have taken in response to the labor shortage have reduced our net revenues;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• inflation leading to increased labor costs and interest rates, as well as changes to import tariffs, may lead to reduced discretionary spending, all of which may negatively impact our business;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• we may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy if our franchisees are unable to locate and secure appropriate sites for clinic locations, obtain favorable lease terms, and attract patients to our clinics;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• we have limited experience operating company-owned or managed clinics in those geographic areas where we currently have few or no clinics, and we may not be able to duplicate the success of some of our franchisees;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• we have restated our Previously Issued Financial Statements, which may lead to additional risks and uncertainties, including loss of investor confidence and negative impacts on our stock price;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• short-selling strategies and negative opinions posted on the internet may drive down the market price of our common stock and could result in class action lawsuits;* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• we have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting and we may fail to remediate future material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or may otherwise be unable to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, which might negatively impact our ability to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud, or maintain investor confidence;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• we may fail to successfully design and maintain our proprietary and third-party management information systems or implement new systems;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• we may fail to properly maintain the integrity of our data or to strategically implement, upgrade or consolidate existing information systems;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• we may not be able to continue to sell franchises to qualified franchisees, and our franchisees may not succeed in developing profitable territories and clinics;*

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• new clinics may not reach the point of profitability, and we may not be able to maintain or improve revenues and franchise fees from existing franchised clinics;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• the chiropractic industry is highly competitive, with many well-established independent competitors, which could prevent us from increasing our market share or result in reduction in our market share;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• state administrative actions and rulings regarding the corporate practice of chiropractic and prepayment of chiropractic services may jeopardize our business model;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• expected new federal regulations and state laws and regulations regarding joint employer responsibility could negatively impact the franchise business model, increasing our potential liability for employment law violations by our franchisees and the likelihood that we may be required to participate in collective bargaining with our franchisees' employees;* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• an increased regulatory focus on the establishment of fair franchise practices could increase our risk of liability in disputes with franchisees and the risk of enforcement actions and penalties;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• negative publicity or damage to our reputation, which could arise from concerns expressed by opponents of chiropractic and by chiropractors operating under traditional service models, could adversely impact our operations and financial position;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• our IT security systems and those of our third-party service providers (as recently experienced by one of our marketing vendors) may be breached, and we may face civil liability and public perception of our security measures could be diminished, either of which would negatively affect our ability to attract and retain patients; and*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• legislation and regulations, as well as new medical procedures and techniques, could reduce or eliminate our competitive advantages.*

*Additionally, there may be other risks that are otherwise described from time to time in the reports that we file with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A should be considered in light of various important factors, including the risks and uncertainties listed above, as well as others.*

**THE JOINT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY AND AFFILIATES**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Basis of Presentation***

These unaudited financial statements represent the condensed consolidated financial statements of The Joint Corp. ("The Joint"), which includes its variable interest entities ("VIEs"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Joint Corporate Unit No. 1, LLC (collectively, the "Company"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commissions (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with The Joint Corp. and Subsidiary and Affiliates consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as set forth in The Joint's Amended and Restated Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 11, 2025 ("Form 10-K/A"), which included all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, are not necessarily indicative of expected operating results for the full year. The information presented throughout the document as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, is unaudited.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses and other (expenses) income that are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events, historical experience, actions that the Company may undertake in the future and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may be different from these estimates. For a discussion of significant estimates and judgments made in recognizing revenue, accounting for leases, long-lived asset impairments and accounting for income taxes, see Note 1, *Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*.

The results of operations of the corporate clinic segment are reported in Income from discontinued operations before income tax expense in its consolidated income statement for all periods presented and the related assets and liabilities associated with discontinued operations are classified as discontinued operation assets and liabilities, current and noncurrent, in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The consolidated statement of cash flows includes cash flows related to the discontinued operations and accordingly, cash flow amounts for discontinued operations are disclosed in Note 3, *Divestitures*. All results and information in the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as continuing operations and exclude the corporate clinic segment unless otherwise noted specifically as discontinued operations. For additional information, refer to Note 3, *Divestitures.*

***Principles of Consolidation***

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Joint and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Joint Corporate Unit No. 1, LLC, which was dormant for all periods presented. The Company consolidates VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidations. Non-controlling interests represent third-party equity ownership interests in VIEs. All significant inter-affiliate accounts and transactions between The Joint and its VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation.

***Comprehensive Income***

Net income was the same as comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Restatement of Previously Issued Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited and Restated)***

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, included in the Original Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025, the following error was identified resulting from the misapplication of accounting guidance related to the valuation methodology used in connection with the fair value measurement of certain assets held for sale within discontinued operations. Upon further evaluation, the Company determined that the original valuation methodology, which relied on an earnings multiple approach based on the clinic's historical financial performance and prior acquisition trends from reacquired franchise clinics—was not consistent with the relevant requirements of GAAP. As such, adjustments were necessary to accurately reflect the Company's financial position and results of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

operations. The valuation methodology was updated to include and equally weight both a market approach using a multiple of earnings assumption as well as an income approach using a discounted cash flow model that more appropriately reflects the expected future economic benefits of the assets held for sale reported in discontinued operations.

The Company assessed the impact of the error on its previously issued interim financial statements and determined it to be material to the period ended March 31, 2025 based on its analysis of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 99, "Materiality," and SAB No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements". The error has been corrected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and the condensed consolidated income statements, statements of changes in stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows for the quarter then ended.

The following table summarizes the effect of the error on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025:

***Nature of Operations***

The Joint Corp., a Delaware corporation, was formed on March 10, 2010, for the principal purpose of franchising and developing chiropractic clinics, selling regional developer rights, supporting the operations of franchised chiropractic clinics, and operating and managing corporate chiropractic clinics at locations throughout the United States. The franchising of chiropractic clinics is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and various state authorities.

***Variable Interest Entities***

Certain states prohibit the "corporate practice of chiropractic," which restricts business corporations from practicing chiropractic care by exercising control over clinical decisions by chiropractic doctors. In states that prohibit the corporate practice of chiropractic, the Company typically enters into long-term management agreements with professional corporations ("PCs") that are owned by licensed chiropractic doctors, which, in turn, employ or contract with doctors who provide professional chiropractic care in its clinics. Under these management agreements with PCs, the Company provides, on an exclusive basis, all non-clinical services of the chiropractic practice. The Company has entered into such management agreements with four PCs. If an entity is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the entity is required to consolidate the VIE in its financial statements. An entity is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb the majority of losses of the VIE or the right to receive the majority of benefits from the VIE. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, these PCs were determined to be VIEs, as fees paid by the PCs to the Company as its management service provider are considered variable interests because the fees do not meet all the following criteria: (1) the fees are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services; (2) the decision maker or service provider does not hold other interests in the VIE that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the VIE's expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the VIE's expected residual returns; and (3) the service arrangement includes only terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm's length. Additionally, the Company has determined that it has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of these PCs and has an obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the PCs. Accordingly, the PCs are VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and are consolidated by the Company.

The revenues of VIEs represent the revenues of company-managed clinics in states that prohibit the corporate practice of chiropractic. The Company's involvement with VIEs affects its financial performance and cash flows primarily through amounts recorded as revenues from company-owned or managed clinics and general and administrative expenses, which are principally

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

comprised of payroll and related expenses, merchant card fees and insurance expense, all of which are reported in Income from discontinued operations before income tax expense in its consolidated income statement. The management fees/income provided by the management agreements are considered intercompany transactions and therefore eliminated upon consolidation of VIEs.

VIE net income (including the management fee) of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, is included in Income from discontinued operations before income tax expense and income tax expense from discontinued operations in the consolidated income statements as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended<br>March 31,** | **Three Months Ended<br>March 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Income from discontinued operations before income tax | $387287 | $407370 |
| Income tax expense from discontinued operations | 103412 | 107900 |

---

The carrying amount of the VIEs' assets and liabilities is included in discontinued operations as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Discontinued operations current assets | $1087203 | $1087203 |
| Discontinued operations current liabilities | 6832522 | 7125071 |

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. As of the balance sheet date and periodically throughout the period, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has invested substantially all of its cash in short-term bank deposits. The Company had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

***Restricted Cash***

Restricted cash relates to cash that franchisees and company-owned or managed clinics contribute to the Company's National Marketing Fund and cash that franchisees provide to various voluntary regional Co-Op Marketing Funds. Cash contributed by franchisees to the National Marketing Fund is to be used in accordance with the Company's Franchise Disclosure Document with a focus on regional and national marketing and advertising. While such cash balance is not legally segregated and restricted as to withdrawal or usage, the Company's accounting policy is to classify these funds as restricted cash.

***Accounts Receivable***

Accounts receivable primarily represents amounts due from franchisees for royalty fees. The Company records an allowance for credit losses as a reduction to its accounts receivables for amounts that the Company does not expect to recover. An allowance for credit losses is determined through assessments of collectability based on historical trends, the financial condition of the Company's franchisees, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies and an evaluation of current economic conditions, as well as the Company's expectations of conditions in the future. Actual losses ultimately could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance. The Company had an allowance for expected credit losses of $0.2 million and $0.2 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

---

***Property and Equipment***

Property and equipment are stated at cost and relate mostly to the corporate headquarters leasehold improvements, its furniture and fixtures and other office and computer equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which is generally three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while major renewals and improvements are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. The Company recorded Net loss on disposition or impairment of $1,973 and $275 in its condensed consolidated income statement related to continuing operations property or equipment disposed of other than by sale or retired related to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

***Leases***

The Company leases property and equipment under operating and finance leases. The Company leases its corporate office space and the space for each of the company-owned or managed clinics in the portfolio. The Company recognizes a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for all leases. The lease for its corporate office space is recognized as a ROU and lease liability in its consolidated balance sheet as continuing operations while all other leases for each of the company-owned or managed clinics are reported in discontinued operations. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company's sole discretion and, as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for substantially all of its leases. In such cases, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate as the interest rate it would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term, with similar collateral as in the lease and in a similar economic environment. The Company estimates these rates using available evidence such as rates imposed by third-party lenders to the Company in recent financings or observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial debt of a similar duration, with credit spreads correlating to the Company's estimated creditworthiness.

For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date it takes possession of the leased property. Pre-opening costs are recorded as incurred in general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased corporate office space are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated income statements. Any variable costs associated with the leased property for company-owned or managed clinics are expensed as incurred and are included in Income from discontinued operations before income tax expense in its consolidated income statement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, certain leases related to discontinued operations were terminated early with the landlord as a result of corporate clinic closures. The net losses to terminate the leases were recorded in Income from discontinued

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

operations before income tax in its condensed consolidated income statement of $0.2 million. No leases were terminated during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

***Long-Lived Assets***

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to estimated undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets are recoverable. The Company records an impairment loss when the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses on long-lived assets were recognized from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, property and equipment, net related to asset groups determined to not be recoverable were written down from their carrying values to their respective fair values resulting in the following non-cash impairment losses:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| Total Net loss on disposition or impairment related to discontinued operations | Total Net loss on disposition or impairment related to discontinued operations | Total Net loss on disposition or impairment related to discontinued operations | $132039 |

---

Long-lived assets that meet the criteria for the held for sale designation are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. As a result of its evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale relative to the agreed upon sales prices or the clinics estimated fair values, the Company recorded an estimated net loss on disposal, which is included in Income from discontinued operations before income tax expense in its condensed consolidated income statement as follows:

***Revenue Recognition***

The Company generates revenue primarily through company-owned or managed clinics and through royalties, franchise fees, advertising fund contributions, IT-related income and computer software fees from its franchisees.

*Revenues from Company-Owned or Managed Clinics.* The Company earns revenues from clinics that it owns and operates or manages throughout the United States. Revenues from clinics that the Company owns and operates are recognized when services are performed and are related to discontinued operations. The Company offers a variety of membership and wellness packages, which feature discounted pricing as compared with its single-visit pricing. Amounts collected in advance for membership and wellness packages are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when the service is performed. Any unused visits associated with monthly memberships are recognized on a month-to-month basis. The Company recognizes a contract liability (or a deferred revenue liability) related to the prepaid treatment plans for which the Company has an ongoing performance obligation. The Company derecognizes this contract liability and recognizes revenue, as the patient consumes his or her visits related to the package and the Company transfers its services. If the Company determines that it is not subject to unclaimed property laws for the portion of wellness package that it does not expect to be redeemed (referred to as "breakage"), then it recognizes breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of exercised rights by the patient.

*Royalties and Advertising Fund Revenue.* The Company collects royalties as stipulated in the franchise agreement, equal to 7% of gross sales and a marketing and advertising fee currently equal to 2% of gross sales. Royalties, including franchisee contributions to advertising funds, are calculated as a percentage of clinic sales over the term of the franchise agreement. The revenue accounting standard provides an exception for the recognition of sales-based royalties promised in exchange for a license (which generally requires a reporting entity to estimate the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled in the transaction price). As the franchise agreement royalties, inclusive of advertising fund contributions, represent sales-based royalties that are related entirely to the Company's performance obligation under the franchise agreement, such sales-based royalties are recognized as franchisee clinic level sales occur. Royalties are collected semi-monthly, two working days after each sales period has ended.

*Franchise Fees.* The Company requires the entire non-refundable initial franchise fee to be paid upon execution of a franchise agreement, which typically has an initial term of 10 years. Initial franchise fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. The Company's services under the franchise agreement include training of franchisees and staff, site selection, construction/vendor management and ongoing operations support. The Company provides no financing to franchisees and offers no guarantees on their behalf. The services provided by the Company are highly interrelated with the franchise license and as such are considered to represent a single performance obligation. Renewal franchise fees, as well as transfer fees, are also recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.

*Software Fees.* The Company collects a monthly fee from its franchisees for use of its proprietary chiropractic software, computer support and internet services support. These fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

*Capitalized Sales Commissions.* Sales commissions earned by the regional developers and the Company's sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a franchise agreement with a franchisee. These costs are deferred and then amortized as the respective franchise fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement.

***Regional Developer Fees***

The Company has a regional developer program where regional developers are granted an exclusive geographical territory and commit to a minimum development obligation within that defined territory. Upon receiving exclusive rights to develop a territory, a regional developer will pay an upfront fee to the Company. Upfront regional developer fees represent consideration received from a vendor to act as the Company's agent within an exclusive territory. The upfront regional developer fee is accounted for as a reduction of cost of revenues, in franchise and regional development cost of revenues, to offset the respective future commissions paid to the regional developer. The fees are ratably recognized over the term of the related regional developer agreement.

Regional developers receive fees that are funded by the initial franchise fees collected from franchisees upon the sale of franchises within their exclusive geographical territory and a royalty of 3% of sales generated by franchised clinics in their exclusive geographical territory. Initial fees related to the sale of franchises within their exclusive geographical territory are initially deferred as deferred franchise costs and are recognized as an expense in franchise cost of revenues when the respective revenue is recognized, which is generally over the term of the related franchise agreement. Royalties of 3% of sales generated by franchised clinics in their regions are also recognized as franchise cost of revenues as franchisee clinic level sales occur. This 3% fee is funded by the 7% royalties we collect from the franchisees in their regions. Certain regional developer agreements result in the regional developer acquiring the rights to existing royalty streams from clinics already open in the respective territory. In those instances, fees collected from the sale of the royalty stream is recognized as a decrease to franchise and regional developer cost of revenues over the remaining life of the respective franchise agreements. The Company did not enter into any new regional developer agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

***Regional Developer Rights Contract Termination Costs***

From time to time, subject to the Company's strategy, regional developer rights are reacquired by the Company, resulting in a termination of the contract. The termination costs to reacquire the regional developer rights are recognized at fair value, less any unrecognized upfront regional developer fee liability balance, as a general and administrative expense in the period in which the contract is terminated in accordance with the contract terms and are recorded within general and administrative expenses.

***Advertising Costs***

Advertising costs are advertising and marketing expenses incurred by the Company, primarily through advertising funds. The Company expenses production costs of commercial advertising upon first airing and expenses the costs of communicating the advertising in the period in which the advertising occurs. Advertising expenses were $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Income Taxes***

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items that are recorded in the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income for the year and permanent differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or the tax environment changes.

***Earnings (loss) per Common Share***

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares including restricted stock and stock options.

| | **2025** | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock options | 85528 | 120031 |

---

***Stock-Based Compensation***

The Company accounts for share-based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The Company determines the estimated grant-date fair value of restricted shares using the closing price on the date of the grant and the grant-date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. The Company recognizes compensation costs ratably over the period of service using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical and forecasted turnover, which is approximately 5%.

***Loss Contingencies***

ASC Topic 450 governs the disclosure of loss contingencies and accrual of loss contingencies in respect of litigation and other claims. The Company records an accrual for a potential loss when it is probable that a loss will occur and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the reasonable estimate of the potential loss is within a range of amounts, the minimum of the range of potential loss is accrued, unless a higher amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range. Moreover, even if an accrual is not required, the Company provides additional disclosure related to litigation and other claims when it is reasonably possible (i.e., more than remote) that the outcomes of such litigation and other claims include potential material adverse impacts on the Company. Legal costs to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are expensed as such costs are incurred.

***Use of Estimates***

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Items subject to significant estimates and assumptions include loss contingencies, share-based compensations, useful lives and realizability of long-lived assets, deferred revenue and revenue recognition related to breakage, deferred franchise costs, calculation of ROU assets and liabilities related to leases, realizability of deferred tax assets, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, and purchase price allocations and related valuations. Deferred revenue related to breakage, goodwill and intangible assets are related to discontinued operations. Refer to Note 3, *Divestitures* for more information on discontinued operations.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Not Yet Adopted***

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by this standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280 on an interim and annual basis, including new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss, the amount and composition of any other segment items, the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2024. There was no material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to provide greater disaggregation within their annual rate reconciliation, including new requirements to present reconciling items on a gross basis in specified categories, disclose both percentages and dollar amounts and disaggregate individual reconciling items by jurisdiction and nature when the effect of the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires disaggregating the annual disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, by federal (national), state and foreign taxes, with separate presentation of individual jurisdictions that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03") and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company's definition of selling expenses. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

**Note 2: Revenue Disclosures**

***Franchising Fees, Royalty Fees, Advertising Fund Revenue, and Software Fees***

As of March 31, 2025, we had 847 franchised clinics in operation, 94 clinic licenses sold but not yet developed and 52 executed letters of intent for future clinic licenses. The franchise arrangement is documented in the form of a franchise agreement. The franchise arrangement requires the Company to perform various activities to support the brand that do not directly transfer goods and services to the franchisee, but instead represent a single performance obligation, which is the transfer of the franchise license. The intellectual property subject to the franchise license is symbolic intellectual property as it does not have significant standalone functionality and substantially all of the utility is derived from its association with the Company's past or ongoing activities. The nature of the Company's promise in granting the franchise license is to provide the franchisee with access to the brand's symbolic intellectual property over the term of the license. The services provided by the Company are highly interrelated with the franchise license and as such are considered to represent a single performance obligation.

The transaction price in a standard franchise arrangement primarily consists of (a) initial franchise fees, (b) continuing franchise fees (royalties), (c) advertising fees, and (d) software fees. The revenue accounting standard provides an exception for the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

recognition of sales-based royalties promised in exchange for a license (which otherwise requires a reporting entity to estimate the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled in the transaction price).

The Company recognizes the primary components of the transaction price as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Initial and renewal franchise fees, as well as transfer fees, are recognized as revenue ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement, commencing with the execution of the franchise, renewal or transfer agreement. As these fees are typically received in cash at or near the beginning of the contract term, the cash received is initially recorded as a contract liability until recognized as revenue over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company is entitled to royalties and advertising fees based on a percentage of the franchisee's gross sales as defined in the franchise agreement. Royalty and advertising revenue are recognized when the franchisee's sales occur. Depending on timing within a fiscal period, the recognition of revenue results in either what is considered a contract asset (unbilled receivable) or, once billed, accounts receivable, on the consolidated balance sheet.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company is entitled to a software fee, which is charged monthly. The Company recognizes revenue related to software fees ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement.

In determining the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers, the Company exercises significant judgment with respect to collectability of the amount; however, the timing of recognition does not require significant judgment as it is based on either the franchise term or the reported sales of the franchisee, neither of which requires estimation. The Company believes its franchising arrangements do not contain a significant financing component.

The Company recognizes advertising fees received under franchise agreements as advertising fund revenue.

***Capitalized Sales Commissions*** 

Sales commissions earned by the regional developers and the Company's sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a franchise agreement with a franchisee. These costs are deferred and then amortized as the respective franchise fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement.

***Disaggregation of Revenue***

The Company believes that the captions contained on the condensed consolidated income statements appropriately reflect the disaggregation of its revenue by major type for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. Other revenues primarily consist of merchant income associated with preferred vendor royalties associated with franchisees' credit card transactions.

**Note 3: Divestitures**

**Corporate Clinic Segment Divestiture**

In 2023, the Company initiated plans to refranchise the majority of its company-owned or managed clinics with plans to retain a small portion of high-performing clinics. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company expanded the refranchising plan to include additional clinic markets of company-owned or managed clinics, marketing the clinics in clusters grouped by proximity to larger private equity firms. Because the Company has formalized a plan to sell its entire corporate clinic reportable segment, the Company has concluded that the overall refranchising plan represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

As of December 31, 2024, the corporate clinics classified as held for sale or already sold under the refranchising plan represent, in the aggregate, a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Accordingly, the results of the corporate clinic segment and its assets and liabilities are reported separately as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated income statements and condensed consolidated balance sheets. As permitted, the Company elected not to adjust the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, to exclude cash flows attributable to discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company disclosed the depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures and significant operating and investing non-cash items related to the corporate clinic segment below.

The key components of Net income from discontinued operations that were included in the Company's consolidated income statements are as follows:

The clustered clinics are in varying stages of sales negotiations with approximately all of the Company's corporate clinic portfolio expected to be recognized as a completed sale within one year with an estimated fair value of $21.4 million at March 31, 2025. Effective with the designation as held for sale, the Company discontinued recording depreciation on property and equipment, net, amortization of intangible assets, net and amortization of ROU assets for the clinics as required by GAAP. The Company reported the related assets and liabilities of the clinics as held for sale as discontinued operations in its December 31, 2024, and 2023, condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Long-lived assets that meet the criteria for the held for sale designation are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. As a result of its evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale relative to the clinics estimated fair values, the Company recorded an estimated loss on disposal of $1.0 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in Loss from discontinued operations before income tax expense in its consolidated income statements. A valuation allowance of $6.1 million and $5.1 million was included in

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, in connection with the sale of company-owned or managed clinics classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024 for a combined sales price of $0.1 million, the Company sold $0.5 million assets held for sale and $0.5 million of liabilities to be disposed of in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024. As a result of the sales, the Company recorded a gain of $0.1 million included in Income from discontinued operations before income tax expense on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

**Note 5: Fair Value Measurements**

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

The Company's financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 6, *Debt*). The carrying amounts of its financial instruments, excluding the debt under the Credit Agreement, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company's debt under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value due to its interest rate being calculated from observable quoted prices for similar instruments, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any financial instruments that were measured on a recurring basis as Level 1, 2 or 3.

The Company's non-financial assets, included in both continuing and discontinued operations, which primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and operating lease ROU assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at their carrying amount. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If the fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the asset to its fair value, which is considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Long-lived assets that meet the held for sale criteria are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The estimated fair values of the company-owned or managed clinics classified as Held for Sale (see Note 3, *Divestitures*) were recorded in discontinued operations current assets at fair values on a nonrecurring basis and are based upon Level 2 inputs, which include a potential buyer agreed-upon selling price or Level 3 inputs, which includes a market approach using a multiple of earnings assumption based on clinic-level historical financial performance as well as an income approach using discounted cash flow ("DCF") models that use significant unobservable inputs and assumptions. Key inputs in the DCF models included projected cash flows over a 10-year forecast period, based on clinic-level historical financial performance and management's expectations of future operating results. A terminal value was estimated using a terminal year cash flow multiple for locations with positive cash flows. For locations with projected negative cash flows, no terminal value was assigned, as these clinics were assumed to cease operations upon lease termination. The future cash flows and terminal value were discounted to present value using a discount rate of 14.5% that reflects the risk profile of the underlying operations and market conditions as of the measurement date. The Company, as appropriate, equally weights the market approach and income approach in its valuation. Assets held for sale as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, include all company-owned or managed clinics. The fair value measurement of the assets held for sale as of March 31, 2025 was recorded as $0.3 million based upon Level 2 inputs and $21.1 million based upon Level 3 inputs. The Company maintains a valuation allowance of $6.1 million to adjust the carrying value of the disposal group to fair value less cost to sell as of March 31, 2025. The fair value of the assets held for sale as of December 31, 2024 was valued as $0.4 million based upon Level 2 inputs and $26.9 million based upon Level 3 inputs and carried a valuation allowance of $5.1 million to adjust the carrying value of the disposal group to fair value less cost to sell as of December 31, 2024.

Long-lived assets classified as held and used where the asset group was not determined to be recoverable are tested for impairment. No impairment was recorded for asset groups classified as held and used during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In connection with the planned sale or determined closure of certain company-owned or managed clinics long-lived assets classified as held and used where the asset group was not determined recoverable, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $0.1 million included in Income from discontinued operations before income tax expense in its condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The asset group was determined to be at the clinic level, as this is the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. The long-lived assets fair values were determined by the following: Level 2 inputs where available, which included using a valuation multiple (e.g, price per square foot) based on observable prices for comparable long-lived assets; and Level 3 inputs, which included the multiple of earnings approach using the Company's historical earnings trend data, comparable historical asset sales by the Company and franchisees that were not exact matches, and (for calculating the fair value of intangible assets specifically) the Company's historical experience, future projections and comparable market data include future cash flows, long-term growth rates, attrition rates and discount rates. The carrying values of these asset groups impaired to their fair value included fixed assets of $0.9 million that were written down to $0.7 million determined by the Level 3 inputs discussed above. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the multiple inputs would have resulted in a directionally similar change of the fair value measurement where a multiple of earnings assumption was used.

**Note 6: Debt**

***Credit Agreement***

On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., individually and as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank (the "Lender"). The Credit Agreement provided for senior secured credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities") in the amount of $7,500,000, including a $2,000,000 revolver (the "Revolver") and a $5,500,000 development line of credit (the "Line of Credit"). The Revolver included amounts available for letters of credit of up to $1,000,000 and an uncommitted additional amount of $2,500,000. All outstanding principal and interest on the Revolver was due on February 28, 2022.

On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Facilities (as amended, the "2022 Credit Facility") with the Lender. Under the 2022 Credit Facility, the Revolver increased to $20,000,000 (from $2,000,000), the portion of the Revolver available for letters of credit increased to $5,000,000 (from $1,000,000), the uncommitted additional amount increased to $30,000,000 (from $2,500,000) and the developmental Line of Credit of $5,500,000 was terminated. The Revolver will be used for working capital needs, general corporate purposes and for acquisitions, development and capital improvement uses. At the option of the Company, borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest at: (i) the adjusted SOFR rate, plus 0.10%, plus 1.75%, payable on the last day of the selected interest period of one, three or six months and on the three-month anniversary of the beginning of any six-month interest period, if applicable; or (ii) an Alternative Base Rate (ABR), plus 1.00%, payable monthly. The ABR is the greatest of (A) the prime rate (as published by the Wall Street Journal); (B) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York rate, plus 0.5%; and (C) the adjusted one-month term SOFR rate. Amounts outstanding under the Revolver on February 28, 2022 continued to bear interest at the rate selected under the Credit Facilities prior to the amendment until the last day of the interest period in effect, at which time, if not repaid, the amounts outstanding under the Revolver will bear interest at the 2022 Credit Facility rate. As a result of this refinance, $2,000,000 of current maturity of long-term debt was reclassified to long-term as of December 31, 2021. The 2022 Credit Facility will terminate, and all principal and interest will become due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the amendment, which will occur on February 28, 2027. On January 17, 2024, the Company paid down the outstanding balance on its Debt under the Credit Agreement of $2,000,000.

The Credit Facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violations of covenants, certain bankruptcies and liquidations, cross-default to material indebtedness, certain material judgments, and certain fundamental changes such as a merger or sale of substantially all assets (as further defined in the Credit Facilities). The Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage and maximum net leverage. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the Credit Facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. The Credit Facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, including the assets in the Company's company-owned or managed clinics. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, and there is no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2025.

**Note 7: Stock-Based Compensation** 

The Company grants stock-based awards under its 2024 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2024 Plan"). The shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions generally have been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company's common stock. The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2024 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options; (ii) incentive stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; and (v) restricted stock units. Each award granted under the 2024 Plan is subject to an award agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines. Awards granted under the 2024 Plan are classified as equity awards, which are recorded in stockholders'

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Through March 31, 2025, the Company has granted under the 2024 Plan (i) non-qualified stock options; (ii) incentive stock options; and (iii) restricted stock. There were no stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units granted under the 2024 Plan as of March 31, 2025.

***Stock Options***

The Company's closing price on the date of grant is the basis of fair value of its common stock used in determining the value of share-based awards. To the extent the value of the Company's share-based awards involves a measure of volatility, the Company uses available historical volatility of the Company's common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected stock option term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate the expected term of stock option grants to employees as the Company does not have sufficient comparable historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term of stock options granted to employees. Accordingly, the expected life of the options granted is based on the average of the vesting term, which is generally four years and the contractual term, which is generally ten years. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method. The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected stock option term. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical and forecasted turnover, which is approximately 5%.

The Company did not grant options during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

***Restricted Stock***

Restricted stock awards granted to employees generally vest in four equal annual installments, although on March 5, 2024, the Company granted 29,454 shares of restricted stock as part of a special award to certain executive employees that vested in one installment on the first anniversary of the grant. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors typically vest in full one year after the date of grant.

The Company's effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to state taxes and change in valuation allowance. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to nondeductible meals and entertainment, change in valuation allowance, state taxes, and an increase in the overall deferred tax liability related to indefinite goodwill.

***Guarantee in Connection with the Sale of the Divested Business***

In connection with the sale of company-managed clinics in 2022, 2024, and 2025, the Company guaranteed four future operating lease commitments assumed by the buyers. The Company is obligated to perform under the guarantees if the buyers fail to perform under the lease agreements at any time during the remainder of the lease agreements, which expire on October 31, 2025, May 31, 2027, and November 30, 2030. At the dates of sale, the undiscounted maximum potential future payments totaled $0.8 million. As of March 31, 2025, the undiscounted remaining lease payments under the agreements totaled $0.7 million. The Company had not recorded a liability with respect to the guarantee obligations as of March 31, 2025, as the Company concluded that payment under the lease guarantees was not probable.

***Litigation***

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to litigation and claims from time to time. The Company maintains insurance to cover certain litigation and claims.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into settlement agreements from litigation related to employment matters of $1.5 million that was outside the normal course of business, which the Company has accrued for in discontinued operations current liabilities as of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025.

Additionally, litigation related to a medical injury claim between a patient ("the Claimant") and the Company filed on September 5, 2023, reached a settlement agreement on February 25, 2025. Per the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company and the Company's insurance were to pay the Claimant $3.4 million. The Company accrued the settlement recorded in discontinued operations current liabilities for $3.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The expense of the accrual was offset by a receivable recorded as discontinued operations current assets from the Company's insurance for $1.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The settlement was paid in full during the first quarter of 2025.

**Note 10: Segment Reporting**

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the CODM to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. The Company has identified its CODM as the Chief Executive Officer.

Historically, the Company had two operating business segments: (1) Corporate Clinics, and (2) Franchise Operations. The Corporate Clinics segment is comprised of the activities of the company-owned or managed clinics. In the fourth quarter of 2024, as part of the Company's refranchising strategy, the Corporate Clinic segment met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024 (Refer to Note 3, *Divestitures* for financial information on the discontinued operating Corporate Clinics segment). Therefore, since December 31, 2024, the Company has one reportable segment: Franchise Operations. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, expenses that in prior periods were partially allocated to the Corporate Clinic segment that are not wholly related to the activity of the segment have been recast to be presented in

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

continuing operations, which is now Franchise Operations. Additionally, any expenses previously identified as Corporate Unallocated have been allocated entirely to the Franchise Operations segment.

The Franchise Operations segment is comprised of the operating activities of the franchise business unit. The Franchise Operations segment derives revenue primarily from customers by providing access to the Company's franchise license, which represents symbolic intellectual property (See Note 2, *Revenue Disclosures* for additional details). The Franchise Operations segment is managed on a consolidated basis because all operations are located within a similar economic and regulatory environment, provide the same services and share the same business model and pricing strategies. As of March 31, 2025, the franchise system consisted of 847 clinics in operation. The accounting policies for the franchise segment are the same as those described in Note 1, *Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*. The CODM uses Net Income, Gross Profit, Operating Income, and Adjusted EBITDA as metrics in assessing performance and determining how to allocate resources. Net Income, Gross Profit, and Operating Income are reported on the Consolidated Income Statement. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in *Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Non-GAAP Financial Measures* and is reconciled back to consolidated net income (loss) from continuing operations on the consolidated income statement. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses these financial measures to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits in the Franchise Segment or into other parts of the entity, such as new products or services, new geographic territories, acquisitions or reacquisitions, or stock buybacks. Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are used to monitor budget verses actual results. The CODM also uses Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with certain non-financial metrics in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company's competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted verses actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management's compensation.

The following table summarizes total revenue and significant expense categories and amounts for the Company's reportable segment that aligns with the segment level information that is regularly provided to the CODM:

**Note 11: Related Party Transactions**

Mr. Jefferson Gramm, Managing Partner of Bandera Partners LLC who is a beneficial holder of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock (approximately 26% as of March 31, 2025) was appointed to the Board of Directors effective as of January 2, 2024.

Marshall Gramm, who is a family member of Mr. Jefferson Gramm, owns four franchise licenses. One license was sold to Mr. Marshall Gramm in December 2020 for $39,900 and three licenses were transferred from other franchisees in June 2022 to Mr. Marshall Gramm for a transfer fee of $15,000 each plus prorated franchise license fees of $17,706 total (which reflects the $15,000 transfer fee plus a license fee calculated pro-rata to extend the existing license term to 10-years from the date of transfer per the Company's Franchise Disclosure Document).

These transactions involved terms no less favorable to us than those that would have been obtained in the absence of such affiliation. Although we have no way of estimating the aggregate amount of franchise fees, royalties, advertising fund fees, IT related income and computer software fees that these franchisees will pay over the life of the franchise licenses, the franchisees affiliated with Mr. Gramm are subject to such fees under the same terms and conditions as all other franchisees.

In October 2020, Mr. Gramm loaned approximately $370,000 to an unaffiliated franchisee that owns and operates one franchise clinic. The loan is not secured by the assets of the business and there are no foreclosure rights. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining balance on the unsecured loan was $270,800.

**ITEM 2. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both of which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on* August 11, 2025*.*

**Overview**

We are a rapidly growing franchisor that uses a private pay, non-insurance, cash-based model. We will continue our rapid and franchised focused expansion of chiropractic clinics in key markets throughout North America, and potentially abroad, as we seek to be the leading provider of chiropractic care in the markets we serve and to become the most recognized brand in our industry.

*Key Performance Measures.* We receive monthly performance reports from our system and our clinics that include key performance indicators per clinic, including gross sales, comparable same-store sales growth, or "Comp Sales," number of new patients, conversion percentage and membership attrition. In addition, we review monthly reporting related to system-wide sales, clinic openings, clinic license sales, adjusted EBITDA (Refer to *Non-GAAP Financial Measures* for more information on adjusted EBITDA) and various earnings metrics in the aggregate and per clinic. We believe these indicators provide us with useful data with which to measure our performance and to measure our franchisees' and clinics' performance. Comp Sales include the sales from both company-owned or managed clinics and franchised clinics that in each case have been open for at least 13 full months and exclude any clinics that have closed. System-wide sales include sales at all clinics, whether operated by us or by franchisees. While franchised clinic sales are not recorded as revenues by us, management believes the information is important in understanding the overall brand's financial performance, because these sales are the basis on which we calculate and record royalty fees and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base.

*Key Clinic Development Trends*. As of March 31, 2025, we and our franchisees operated or managed 969 clinics, of which 847 were operated or managed by franchisees and 122 were operated as company-owned or managed clinics. Our franchisees opened five clinics in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 23 clinics in the first quarter of 2024.

Our current strategy is to grow through the sale and development of additional franchises. After evaluating options for improvement, during 2023, the Board of Directors authorized management to initiate a plan to refranchise or sell the majority of our company-owned or managed clinics. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company expanded the refranchising plan to include the full portfolio of our company-owned or managed clinics, marketing the clinics in large clusters grouped primarily by geographic location. This refined strategy will leverage our greatest strength - our capacity to build a franchise - to drive long-term growth for both our franchisees and The Joint as a public company. We have created a robust framework for the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

refranchising effort, organizing clinics into clusters, and generating comprehensive disclosure packets for marketing efficiency. We had given initial preference to existing franchisees and, in the third quarter of 2024, we expanded the marketing efforts to larger multi-unit, multi-brand operators and certain private equity firms interested in purchasing and operating large market-based clinic clusters and have received significant interest to date in most markets. During the first quarter of 2025, we have received draft letters of intent ("LOIs") for our full portfolio of company-owned or managed clinics and as of the filing of the Original Form 10-Q on May 9, 2025, and are in the final stages of certain LOI term negotiations and due diligence.

Our goal will be to generate significant processes that will provide us with value creating capital allocation opportunities. These opportunities could include, but are not limited to, reinvestment in the brand and related marketing, continued investment in our IT platforms, the repurchase of regional development ("RD") territories, certain merger or acquisition opportunities and/or a stock repurchase program.

The number of franchise licenses sold for the first quarter of 2025, was nine, compared with 15 licenses sold for the first quarter of 2024. We ended the first quarter of 2025 with 16 regional developers who were responsible for 56% of the nine licenses sold during the period. We will continue to leverage the power of the regional developer program to accelerate the number of clinics sold, and eventually opened, across the country.

We believe that we continue to have a sound business concept and will benefit from the fundamental changes taking place in the manner in which Americans access chiropractic care and their growing interest in seeking effective, affordable natural solutions for general wellness. These trends join with the preference we have seen among chiropractic doctors to reject the insurance-based model resulting in a combination that benefits the consumer and the service provider alike. We believe that these forces create an important opportunity to accelerate the growth of our network.

**Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements**

We concluded that our previously issued interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 should be restated to correct a historical error related to the accounting for impairment related to assets held for sale. The discussion of financial results presented herein is reflective of the restatement adjustments.

**Recent Events**

Recent events that may impact our business include unfavorable global economic or political conditions, such as uncertainties that come with changes to the presidential administration, labor shortages, and inflation and other cost increases. We anticipate that 2025 will continue to be a volatile macroeconomic environment.

The primary inflationary factor affecting our operations is labor costs. In 2024, clinics owned or managed by us or our franchisees were negatively impacted by labor shortages and wage increases, which increased our general and administrative expenses. Further, should we fail to continue to increase our wages competitively in response to increasing wage rates, the quality of our workforce could decline, causing our patient service to suffer. While we anticipate that these continued headwinds can be partially mitigated by pricing actions, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to take such pricing actions. A continued increase in labor costs could have an adverse effect on our operating costs, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the increase in interest rates and the expectation that interest rates will continue to remain elevated may adversely affect patients' financial conditions, resulting in reduced spending on our services. While the impact of these factors continues to remain uncertain, we will continue to evaluate the extent to which these factors will impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. These and other uncertainties with respect to these recent events could result in changes to our current expectations.

**Other Significant Events and/or Recent Developments**

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Comp sales of clinics that have been open for at least 13 full months increased 3.1%;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Comp sales for mature clinics open 48 months or more decreased 1.7%; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• System-wide sales for all clinics open for any amount of time grew 5.0% to $132.6 million.

**Factors Affecting Our Performance**

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing of new clinic sales, openings, closures, markets in which they are contained and related expenses, general economic conditions, cost inflation, labor shortages, consumer confidence in the economy, consumer preferences, competitive factors, and disease epidemics and other health-related concerns.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

There were no changes in our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from those set forth in "Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Results of Operations**

The following discussion and analysis of our financial results encompasses the results of our Franchise Operations business segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024. All financial results and metrics discussed below are on a continuing operation basis.

***Total Revenues***

Components of revenues were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended<br>March 31,** | **Three Months Ended<br>March 31,** | | |
| | **2025** | **2024** |<br>**Change from<br>Prior Year** |<br>**Percent Change<br>from Prior Year** |
| Revenues: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Royalty fees | $8070985 | $7587547 | 483438 | 6.4% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Franchise fees | 828519 | 655874 | 172645 | 26.3% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Advertising fund revenue | 2307502 | 2166472 | 141030 | 6.5% |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other revenues | 408617 | 388047 | 20570 | 5.3% |
| Total revenues | $13077590 | $12184716 | $892874 | 7.3% |

---

Total revenues increased by $0.9 million, primarily due to the continued expansion and revenue growth of our franchise base and included:

*•* Royalty fees and advertising fund revenue increased due to an increase in the number of franchised clinics in operation during the current period, along with continued sales growth in existing franchised clinics. As of March 31, 2025, and 2024, there were 847 and 819 franchised clinics in operation, respectively.

• Software fees revenue increased due to an increase in our franchised clinic base and the related revenue recognition over the term of the franchise agreement as described above.

• Other revenues primarily consisted of merchant income associated with credit card transactions.

***Cost of Revenues***

| Three Months Ended March 31, | $2972126 | $2704512 | $267614 | 9.9% |

---

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, the total cost of revenues increased primarily due to an increase in the number of franchised clinics in operation during the current period, along with continued sales growth in existing franchised clinics in regional developer regions.

---

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, selling and marketing expenses increased due to an increase in expenses associated with our digital marketing transformation efforts.

***Depreciation and Amortization Expenses***

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Depreciation and Amortization Expenses** | **2025** | **2024** | **Change from<br>Prior Year** | **Percent Change<br>from Prior Year** |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | $361930 | $329634 | $32296 | 9.8% |

---

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to depreciation expenses related to development of internal use software made available for use in the first half of 2024.

***General and Administrative Expenses***

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **General and Administrative Expenses** | **2025** | **2024** | **Change from<br>Prior Year** | **Percent Change<br>from Prior Year** |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | $6914945 | $7339308 | $(424363) | (5.8)% |

---

General and administrative expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in payroll and other employee compensation expenses of $0.4 million, reflective of fewer employees in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, including the departure of long-tenure employees with stock-based compensation during 2024. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 were 53% and 60%, respectively.

Loss from operations increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** an increase in selling and marketing expenses of $1.3 million; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $0.3 million in our total cost of revenues; partially offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $0.9 million in total revenues; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $0.4 million in general and administrative expenses.

---

Other income (expense), net increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the deployment of additional cash and cash equivalents into higher interest rate savings products resulting in increased interest income.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations consists of net loss from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, acquisition related expenses (which includes contract termination costs associated with reacquired regional developer rights), stock-based compensation expense, bargain purchase gain, (gain) loss on disposition or impairment, costs related to restatement filings, restructuring costs, and litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for specific proceedings that arise outside of the ordinary course of our business). We have provided Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, because it is commonly used for comparing companies in our industry. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for operating profit as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently from other companies.

We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other outpatient medical clinics, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA in the future we may incur unadjusted expenses similar to those currently excluded when calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

Our management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative 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 our financial statements. These limitations include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the (gain) loss on disposition or impairment, which represents the impairment of assets as of the reporting date. We do not consider this to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• While not included in the presented periods, Adjusted EBITDA would not reflect any bargain purchase gain, which would represent the excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the purchase consideration.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. You should review the reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA above and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

***Sources of Liquidity***

As of March 31, 2025, we had unrestricted cash and short-term bank deposits of $21.9 million. We used $3.7 million of cash flow from operating activities from both continuing and discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2025. While unfavorable global economic or political conditions create potential liquidity risks, as discussed further below, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our anticipated cash flows from operations and amounts available under our line of credit will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating and investment needs for at least the next 12 months.

While the interruptions, delays and/or cost increases resulting from political instability and geopolitical tensions, adverse weather conditions, economic weakness, inflationary pressures, increase in interest rates and other factors have created uncertainty as to general economic conditions for the remainder of 2025, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that we have adequate capital resources and sufficient access to external financing sources to satisfy our current and reasonably anticipated requirements for funds to conduct our operations and meet other needs in the ordinary course of our business. For the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

remainder of 2025, we expect to use or redeploy our cash resources to support our business within the context of prevailing market conditions, which, given the ongoing uncertainties described above, could rapidly and materially deteriorate or otherwise change. Our long-term capital requirements, primarily for acquisitions and other corporate initiatives, could be dependent on our ability to access additional funds through the debt and/or equity markets. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, including as a result of economic weakness, political unrest or war, or any other reason, it may make any necessary equity or debt financing more difficult to obtain in a timely manner and on favorable terms, if at all, and if obtained, it may be more costly or more dilutive. From time to time, we consider and evaluate transactions related to our portfolio and capital structure, including debt financings, equity issuances, purchases and sales of assets, and other transactions. Given the ongoing uncertainties described above, the levels of our cash flows from operations for the remainder of 2025 may be impacted. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flows or obtain the capital necessary to meet our short and long-term capital requirements.

***Analysis of Cash Flows***

Net cash used in operating activities for both continuing and discontinued operations increased by $6.5 million to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net cash used was attributable to a change in working capital of $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, this included purchases of property and equipment of $0.3 million and proceeds from sales of clinics of $40,100. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, this included purchases of property and equipment of $0.4 million and proceeds from sales of clinics of $50,100.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $0.9 million, compared to $2.0 million in net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities included cash receipts from stock option exercises of $0.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities included the pay down of the outstanding balance on our Debt under the Credit Agreement in the amount of $2.0 million.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk appearing in Part II, Item 7(a), "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures (Restated)***

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving such objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded at the time the Company filed the Original Form 10-Q that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025 at the reasonable assurance level.

Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in connection with the restatement of the previously filed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result, management reevaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025 because of the material weakness described below.

***Material Weakness***

The Company had concluded that there was a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of December 31, 2024, management identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting which continued to exist as of March 31, 2025:

We did not adequately design, implement and maintain effective controls to analyze and account for non-routine, unusual or complex transactions. Specifically, we did not adequately design, implement and maintain controls to timely analyze and account for the impairment associated with certain assets held for sale within discontinued operations and for the application of valuation methodologies impacting impairment charges related to assets held for sale.

**Remediation plan for the material weakness**

With the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, management is in the process of developing a detailed remediation plan to address the material weakness. Elements of the plan include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will design, implement and maintain enhanced internal controls to timely analyze and account for non-routine, unusual or complex transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will design, implement and maintain enhanced internal controls to timely review the application of valuation methodologies impacting impairment charges, including those, but not limited to assets held for sale.

While we will devote significant time and attention to these remediation efforts, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until management completes the design and implementation of the actions described above and the controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

Information regarding our legal proceedings is discussed in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS** 

We documented our risk factors in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since the filing of that Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

**ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS**

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic28d9f5049654c55a109c0ad416d7c4c_10)</u>

None.

**ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION**

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, no director or officer of our company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or a "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" (in each case, defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
