Q & A Highlights

Q: For 2025 guidance, what are the significant moving factors? Do you need to sign new contracts to achieve the revenue and gross profit targets? A: Rob Carter, CFO: Growth in capitation contracts is integral to hitting our targets. We also plan for organic growth in both fee-for-service and dispensary. Additionally, reducing clinical payroll as a percentage of revenue will contribute to our growth in 2025.

Q: How do we think about the contribution from the patient service segment and/or dispensary? Will patient service be a meaningful growth driver in 2025? A: Rob Carter, CFO: The capitation segment within patient services will be the primary driver of profitability improvement. We expect organic growth in fee-for-service to continue at market rates, but the main contribution will be from capitation.

Q: Can you provide operational metrics comparing new territories like Florida versus the established market in California? A: Daniel Virnich, CEO: Florida and other new markets offer higher benchmark oncology utilization and are primarily Medicare Advantage risk markets, which present significant opportunities. California clinics operate at about 75% capacity, while Florida clinics are at 40%, indicating room for growth.

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent reimbursement landscape and any changes with the new administration? A: Daniel Virnich, CEO: Macro trends in oncology are favorable for us. Potential changes related to IRA and 340B pricing could benefit us by pushing volume from hospital-based centers to community settings, aligning with our value-based model.

Q: Can you provide revenue expectations and growth for patient services, dispensary, and clinical trials? A: Rob Carter, CFO: We are not guiding specific segments, but capitation will be the greatest contributor to profitability, followed by dispensary and fee-for-service. We expect organic growth from both dispensary and fee-for-service.
