Ontrak, Inc. (NASDAQ: OTRK) (“Ontrak” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered and telehealth-enabled healthcare company, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Management Commentary

“During the second quarter, we made important progress on initiatives to expand our market, enhance our product offering, and support our path to profitability. Our AI-infused, evidence-based clinical model continues to differentiate us in our conversations with health plans, employers, and value-based care providers. We are seeing this demand reflected in our qualified pipeline, which includes 19 health plan prospects. These opportunities continue to represent revenue growth potential beginning in the first quarter of 2023,” said Terren Peizer, Chief Executive Officer.

“As we look to the remainder of the year, I am confident in the team we have in place to deliver on our growth opportunities and commitment to whole-person care. Brandon LaVerne and Mary Lou Osborne, as Co-Presidents, will build on the excellent work they’ve been doing and run the day-to-day operations and growth activities of the company. I remain focused on capital formation process and other corporate initiatives. I continue to be excited about our unique value proposition and look forward to what’s in store for 2023 and beyond.”

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, write-off of debt discount costs, restructuring, severance and related costs, acquisition related costs and loss (gain) on change in fair value of warrant liabilities and contingent liability. 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.
