NET REVENUE OF $56.3 MILLION
NET CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES OF $1.1 MILLION
COMPANY EXPECTS TO OPEN 4-5 MORE HOSPITALS IN 2023 AND ANOTHER 14 BY END OF 2025

HOUSTON, May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutex Health Inc. ("Nutex Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NUTX), a physician-led, technology-enabled integrated healthcare delivery system comprised of 19 state-of-the-art micro hospitals in 8 states and primary care-centric, risk-bearing physician networks, today announced first quarter 2023 financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023:

Net revenue of $56.3 million.
Net loss attributable to Nutex Health of $5.1 million.
Net cash from operating activities of $1.1 million.
Adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had total assets of $430.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $32.8 million, not including $12.6 million, net of expenses, advanced to the Company from an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global on April 11, 2023.

Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is included below in this earnings release.

Year-to-Date 2023 Highlights:

On February 6, 2023, Nutex Health opened its second micro hospital in Arkansas. The facility is already performing above expectations.

Nutex Health expects to open 4-5 more micro hospitals in 2023 and another 14 by end of-2025.

The Company's three new independent practice associations ("IPAs") are signing up primary care physicians ("PCPs") and specialists, as well as signing contracts with national and regional managed care organizations. As of today, South Florida Physicians IPA has signed contracts with 78 primary care physicians, Houston Physicians IPA has signed contracts with over 60 primary care physicians and our newest IPA, Phoenix Physicians IPA, has signed up 12 primary care physicians. The Company anticipates starting 2-3 new IPAs per year in the vicinity of its micro hospitals.

On March 17, 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") issued new guidelines related to the independent dispute resolution process of the No Surprises Act. Nutex Health believes that these new guidelines will result in higher reimbursements. Any future higher reimbursements are not reflected in our First Quarter financial results due to the timing of the new CMS guidelines.

On April 11, 2023 the Company entered into a $100 million pre-paid advance agreement with an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global. The Company has so far received approximately $12.6 million, net of expenses, in cash from Yorkville and will evaluate whether to receive and the timing of receipt of additional cash proceeds. The $12.6 million cash proceeds are not reflected on our First Quarter balance sheet.

The Company has a committed investment agreement for up to $100 million with Lincoln Park Capital, none of which has been used.

On May 3, 2023, Nutex Health opened its first-ever urgent care center in Alhambra, California, near the 25,000 patients enrolled in its IPA. The Company purchased a two-story building in late 2022 and remodeled it to include the urgent care center, the new administrative offices of its IPA as well as a primary care clinic.

In the first quarter, as part of our Board of Director's portfolio rationalization initiative, Nutex Health closed down two hospital outpatient departments and one micro hospital which were unprofitable. All three facilities were in Texas.

"Our balance sheet remains strong with $32.8 million of cash on hand and significant capital available to handle the development of 4-5 micro hospitals we plan to open this year in addition to other Population Health opportunities. To help prepare for this growth, in the first quarter of 2023 we transitioned to a more robust back-office financial reporting system that will provide us more timely and accurate financial data to better manage our business," stated Jon Bates, Chief Financial Officer of Nutex Health.

"Our goal for this year will be to increase patient volume as well as create new service lines to complement our ER services. Coming off our very first annual leadership conference earlier this month, the entire national leadership team is invigorated and energized to execute all of the new initiatives to maximize shareholder value," stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health.

"Despite challenging market conditions, we intend to execute on our growth strategy and believe we have significant opportunities ahead of us. We have a strong balance sheet and access to up to $85 million from Yorkville Advisors and up to another $100 million with Lincoln Park Capital," stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., President of Nutex Health.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Nutex Health Inc. plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for stock-based compensation, certain defined items of expense, any acquisition-related costs and impairments. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.
