Management Commentary

Jonathan Mayhew, Ontrak CEO, stated: “During the fourth quarter of 2021 we took important steps to prepare the company for accelerated growth and profitability. We are building a robust and diversified portfolio of current and new customers comprising health plans, employers, health retailers, managed behavioral health organizations, healthcare associations and providers. We have also begun implementation of our AI-enhanced clinical and coaching model, which will include our own behavioral health treatment specialist network. I’m especially pleased that we have also launched an advanced provider integration system that simplifies and automates the exchange of data and insights between behavioral health treatment specialists, Ontrak care coaches, PCPs and members, which addresses a tremendous need to expand system capacity, and provide faster access to a continuum of care support.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 and Recent Operating Highlights

• Total enrolled members numbered 3,795 at the end of Q4 2021, which reflects the full disenrollment of all previously remaining Ontrak-A members and Ontrak-CI members from our program.

• The Company signed a three-year contract renewal with its largest employer customer for expanded mental health and wellbeing services to employees in 39 countries in which the customer operates. The new contract, which is effective January 1, 2022, adds flexible features of the Ontrak program to the LifeDojo wellbeing solution, including option to add a family member or a friend who might need mental health and wellbeing support.

• In November 2021, the Company began an at-the market ("ATM") offering of our common stock through a designated broker for up to an aggregate offering price of up to $70 million. During Q4 2021, we sold 1,324,185 shares of our common stock, resulting in total gross proceeds of $11.1 million ($10.8 million, net of commission and fees). The $10.8 million of net proceeds from this ATM offering of our common stock was used to pay down a portion of the outstanding loan balance of our 2024 Notes.

• In November 2021, the Company approved a restructuring plan as part of management's cost saving measures in order to reduce its operating costs, optimize its business model and help align with its previously stated strategic initiatives. The restructuring plan included reductions in workforce, which were implemented primarily as a result of the two large customer terminations in March and August of 2021, a strategic change in the Company's technology development plan and an impairment charge relating to an operating right-of-use asset for the headquarters office. As a result, the Company recorded a total charge of $7.6 million relating to restructuring, severance and related costs for the fourth quarter of 2021.

• From November 2021 through March 8, 2022, the Company repaid $30.8 million of its outstanding debt balance. On March 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Eight Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement, which among other things, amended certain financial covenants intended to increase the Company's financial flexibility and required prepayment of $11.0 million of the outstanding loan balance, which is included above in total amount repaid.

• The Company announced the launch of new end to end, advanced AI-supported intervention platform that provides enhanced identification, engagement along with digital indicators, and treatment processes to improve overall program efficacy and visibility as well as greater flexibility to tailor treatment for a more personalized and effective behavior healthcare throughout a member's care journey.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company has provided in this press release and the quarterly conference call held on the date hereof certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP net loss per common share, which are not U.S. GAAP financial measures, and clarifies and enhances an understanding of our past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.

EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring, severance and related costs, acquisition related costs, and loss (gain) on change in fair value of warrant liability and contingent liability. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze our financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.

Non-GAAP net loss consists of net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring, severance and related costs, acquisition related costs, loss (gain) on change in fair value of warrant liability and contingent liability, and gain on forgiveness of PPP loan. Non-GAAP net loss per common share consists of loss per share adjusted for non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze our financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.

We believe the above non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss per common share may vary from that of others in our industry. Neither EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP net loss nor Non-GAAP net loss per common share should be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss, net loss per common share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of performance.
