NOTES TO condensed consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. DESCRIPTION of business

CareMax, Inc. (“CareMax” or the “Company”), formerly Deerfield Healthcare Technology Acquisitions Corp. (“DFHT”), a Delaware corporation, was originally formed in July 2020 as a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination involving one or more businesses. CareMax is a technology-enabled care platform providing high-quality, value-based care and chronic disease management through physicians and health care professionals committed to the overall health and wellness continuum of care for its patients. As of September 30, 2022, the Company operated 51 wholly owned, multi-specialty centers in Florida, Tennessee, New York, and Texas that offer a comprehensive suite of healthcare and social services, and a proprietary software and services platform that provides data, analytics, and rules-based decision tools/workflows for physicians across the United States.

The Business Combination and Acquisitions

On December 18, 2020, DFHT entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with CareMax Medical Group, L.L.C., a Florida limited liability company (“CMG”), the entities listed in Annex I to the Business Combination Agreement (the “CMG Sellers”), IMC Medical Group Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IMC”), IMC Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“IMC Parent”) and Deerfield Partners, L.P. (“Deerfield Partners”). The Business Combination (as defined below) was approved by DFHT’s stockholders and closed on June 8, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), whereby DFHT acquired 100% of the equity interests of CMG and 100% of the equity interests in IMC, with CMG and IMC becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of DFHT. Immediately upon completion (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the related financing transactions (the “Business Combination”), the name of the combined company was changed to CareMax, Inc.

Unless the context otherwise requires, “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer, for periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination, to CMG and its subsidiaries, and, for periods upon or after the completion of the Business Combination, to CareMax, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Subsequent to consummation of the Business Combination, primarily during the second half of 2021, the Company acquired Senior Medical Associates, LLC ("SMA"), Stallion Medical Management, LLC ("SMM"), Unlimited Medical Services of Florida, LLC ("DNF"), Advantis Physician Alliance, LLC ("Advantis"), Business Intelligence & Analytics LLC ("BIX"), and three additional businesses (together with the acquisitions of SMA, SMM, DNF, Advantis and BIX, the "Acquisitions") which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. No significant measurement period adjustments related to the Acquisitions were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Refer to Note 4 for information about measurement period adjustments recognized in 2022.

Pending Steward Transaction

In May 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Sparta Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (iii) Sparta Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (iv) Sparta Merger Sub III Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (v) Sparta Merger Sub I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (vi) Sparta Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (vii) Sparta Merger Sub III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (viii) Sparta Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SACN Holdco"), (ix) SNCN Holdco Inc. a Delaware corporation ("SNCN Holdco"), (x) SICN Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SICN Holdco" and, collectively with SACN Holdco, SNCN Holdco, Steward National Care Network, Inc., Steward Integrated Care Network, Inc., and Steward Accountable Care Network, Inc., each a "target" and, collectively, the "Targets"), (xi) Sparta Holding Co.

to the Seller upon achievement of certain milestones. At closing, the Company will also issue to certain equityholders of the Seller shares of a newly designated series of preferred stock of the Company, which will provide voting rights to such Seller equityholders, until the earlier of (i) the two year anniversary of the closing of the Steward Transaction and (ii) the issuance of earnout share consideration on certain discrete matters where such Seller equityholders are permitted to vote the Company's securities in their discretion under the investor rights agreement to be entered into between such equityholders of the Seller and the Company. Finally, at closing, the Company will also pay the Seller an amount equal to the value of the Target's accounts receivable attributable to Medicare value-based payments for the period between January 1, 2021 and the closing, minus the amount of such payments payable to the affiliate physicians of the Targets (the “Financed Net Pre-Closing Medicare AR”).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we have recognized $0.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of acquisition costs related to the pending Steward Transaction. We will continue to incur acquisition costs, including $8 million in fees to a financial advisor, payment of $3 million of which is contingent upon closing of the Steward Transaction, and payment of $5 million of which is contingent upon payment of the earnout share consideration to the Seller Parties. We will reflect this $8 million fee in our financial statements during the period in which the Steward Transaction closes.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP has been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022.

Certain amounts in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications have not materially affected previously reported amounts. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited and condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Pursuant to the Business Combination, the acquisition of CMG by DFHT was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, DFHT was treated as the “acquired” company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of CMG issuing equity for the net assets of DFHT, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DFHT were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Further, CMG was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the acquisition of IMC (the “IMC Acquisition”). As such, the acquisition was considered a business combination under Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations, and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. CareMax recorded the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from IMC.

Unless otherwise noted, information for periods prior to the Closing Date reflects the financial information of CMG only.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Segment Financial Information

The Company’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews financial operating results on a condensed consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company identifies operating segments based on this review by its chief operating decision maker and operates in and reports as a single operating segment, the objective of which is to care for its patients’ needs. For the periods presented, all of the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States, and all revenue was earned in the United States.

Significant Accounting Policies

Other than addition of the Variable Interest Entity policy, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity ("VIE"). These evaluations are complex, involve judgment, and the use of estimates and assumptions based on available historical information, among other factors. The Company considers itself to control an entity if it is the majority owner of or has voting control over such entity. The Company also assesses control through means other than voting rights and determines which business entity is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Management performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively. Refer to Note 14 “Variable Interest Entities” for additional information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. The Company bases its estimates on the available information, its experiences and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances including estimates of the impact of COVID-19. The areas where significant estimates are used in the accompanying financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenues and related receivables from risk adjustments, medical services expense and related payables, purchase price allocations, including fair value estimates of intangibles and contingent consideration; the valuation of and related impairment testing of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets; the valuation of derivative warrant liabilities; the estimated useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets, including internally developed software; revenue recognition and liability for unpaid claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act") exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to nonemerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Additionally, as an emerging growth company, the Company is exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to evaluate and report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash balances with individual banking institutions are in excess of federally insured limits from time to time. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Composition of the Company's revenues and accounts receivable balances for the payors comprising 10% or more of revenue was as follows:


	Total Revenue
	Three months ended September 30, 2022			Nine months ended September 30, 2022			Three months ended September 30, 2021			Nine months ended September 30, 2021

Payor E		12	%		15	%

Allowance for doubtful accounts was less than $0.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has elected to defer compliance with ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), consistent with those requirements for a private company due to the Company’s status as an emerging growth company and the provisions of the JOBS Act. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASC 842 for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2022, and interim reporting periods within the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2022. As such, the Company has continued to present accounting for leases in its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The effect of adoption to be presented in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K is expected to add approximately $0.1 billion right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities to the Company’s balance sheet as of January 1, 2022.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which was subsequently amended by ASU 2020-03, "Codification Improvements to financial Instruments" (collectively referred to as "ASC 326"), which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on certain financial assets. This standard replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when a probable threshold is met with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is acquired or purchased. The standard has been further refined through subsequent releases by the FASB. The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2022 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued temporary guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform primarily resulting from the discontinuation of LIBOR. In addition, in January 2021, the FASB issued guidance which refined the scope of ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform, and clarified some of its guidance as part of FASB's ongoing monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. This guidance permitted entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, computing variation margin settlements and calculating price alignment interest in connection with reference rate reform activities under way in global financial markets. An entity may apply these amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." The ASU improves comparability after business combinations by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. This standard will not impact acquired contract assets or liabilities from business combinations occurring prior to the effective date of adoption, and the impact in the future periods will depend on the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations. The Company will adopt this guidance with respect to business combinations taking place after January 1, 2023, the effective date of this guidance.

NOTE 3. REINSURANCE

The Company has acquired insurance on catastrophic costs to limit the exposure on patient losses. Premiums and policy recoveries are reported in external provider costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The nature of the Company’s stop loss coverage is to limit the benefits paid under one patient. The Company’s stop loss limits are defined within each health plan contract and stop loss purchased from a third party and can range from $30,000 to $200,000 per patient per year. Premiums incurred were $5.8 million and $13.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively and $3.3 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Physicians under capitation arrangements typically have stop loss coverage so that a physician’s financial risk for any single member is limited to a maximum amount on an annual basis. The Company monitors the financial performance and solvency of its stop loss providers. However, the Company remains financially responsible for health care services to its members in the event the health plans are unable to fulfill their obligations under stop loss contractual terms.

Recoveries recognized were $6.9 million and $21.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $5.2 million and $6.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Estimated recoveries under stop loss policies are reported within the accounts receivable, net, or amounts due to health plans as the counterparty responsible for the payment of the claims and the stop loss is the respective health plan.

NOTE 6. DEBT

In May 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provided for an aggregate of up to $300 million in term loans, comprised of (i) initial term loans in aggregate principal amount of $190 million (the “Initial Term Loans”) and (ii) a delayed term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”). The Credit Agreement permits the Company to enter into certain incremental facilities subject to compliance with the terms, conditions and covenants set forth therein. In May 2022, the Company drew $190 million of the Initial Term Loans and used approximately $121 million of the net proceeds from this borrowing to repay its outstanding obligations under the credit agreement dated June 8, 2021, as amended (the "Existing Credit Agreement”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized debt extinguishment losses of $6.2 million related to early repayment of the Existing Credit Agreement. No debt extinguishment gains or losses were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Amortization payments under the Credit Agreement are payable in quarterly installments, commencing on March 31, 2024, in aggregate principal amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans. As of September 30, 2022, no amounts have been borrowed under the Delayed Draw Term Loans. All amounts owed under the Credit Agreement are due in May 2027.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, liens or encumbrances, to make certain investments, to enter into sale-leaseback transactions or sell certain assets, to make certain restricted payments or pay dividends, to enter into consolidations, to transact with affiliates and to amend certain agreements, subject in each case to the exceptions and other qualifications as provided in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that require the Company to satisfy a minimum liquidity requirement of $50.0 million, which may be decreased to $25.0 million if the Company achieves a certain adjusted EBITDA, and maintain a maximum total leverage ratio based on the Company’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, with de novo losses excluded from the calculation of such ratio for up to 36 months after the opening of a de novo center, which maximum total leverage ratio will initially be 8.50 to 1.00, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 and is subject to a series of step-downs. For the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2026 and thereafter the Company must maintain a maximum total leverage ratio no greater than 5.50 to 1.00.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity reflects the Reverse Recapitalization discussed in Note 2. As CMG was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Reverse Recapitalization with DFHT, all periods prior to the consummation of the Business Combination reflect the balances and activity of CMG.

Related Advisory Agreement

On July 13, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive real estate advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Related CM Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of The Related Companies, L.P. (“Related”), pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed provide certain real estate advisory services to the Company on an exclusive basis. The services include identifying locations for new centers nationwide as part of the Company’s de novo growth strategy, including, but not limited to, locations within and proximate to affordable housing communities that may be owned by Related.

In connection with the Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Advisor entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), whereby the Advisor purchased 500,000 shares (the “Initial Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million and the Company issued to the Advisor (i) a warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant Shares”), which vested immediately upon issuance, is exercisable for a period of five years and is not redeemable by the Company and (ii) a warrant (the “Series B Warrant” and together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Series B Warrant Shares” and, together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”),

(13)

(unaudited)

pursuant to which 500,000 Series B Warrant Shares will vest and become exercisable from time to time upon the opening of each center under the Advisory Agreement for which the Advisor provides services, other than two initial centers.

The Company assessed the substance of the Subscription Agreement and determined that all instruments referenced in the Subscription Agreement should be assessed under the guidance of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, as non-employee awards issued to Related in exchange for real estate advisory services to be rendered per the Advisory Agreement. As a result, the Company recorded the Series A Warrants as a component of additional paid-in-capital using the fair value as of July 13, 2021.

The Series B Warrant is exercisable, to the extent vested, until the later of five years from the date of issuance or one year from vesting of the applicable Series B Warrant Shares and is redeemable with respect to vested Warrant Shares at a price of $0.01 per Warrant Share if the price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, or $0.10 per Warrant Share if the price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share, in each case when such price conditions are satisfied for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period and subject to certain adjustments and conditions as described in the Series B Warrant. In the event that the Series B Warrant is called for redemption by the Company, the Advisor may pay the exercise price for the Series B Warrant Shares six months following the notice of redemption by the Company.

Series B Warrants are recognized at their grant date fair value once vesting becomes probable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $5.0 million in Warrants and prepaid expenses to reflect vesting of 1,000,000 Series B Warrant Shares. Refer to Note 10, Related Party Transactions, for additional information. No Series B Warrants vested during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Preferred Stock

The Company's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated June 8, 2021, authorizes the Company to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Redeemable Warrants - Public Warrants

On July 16, 2020, in connection with the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO"), DFHT sold 2,875,000 Public Warrants. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO and 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreements entered into at the time of the IPO, a warrant holder may exercise its Public Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means only a whole Public Warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants were issued upon separation of the units issued in connection with the IPO and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Company may redeem the Public Warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds certain threshold prices. As of September 30, 2022, none of the Public Warrants have been redeemed.

Redeemable Warrants - Private Placement Warrants

Also in connection with the IPO, DFHT issued the 2,916,667 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant. The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by CareMax for cash so long as they are held by the initial stockholders or their permitted transferees. With some exceptions, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. As of September 30, 2022, none of the Private Placement Warrants have been redeemed.

Contingent Consideration Common Shares

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the CMG Sellers and IMC Parent, who received Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, are entitled to receive earn-out consideration to be paid out in the form of Class A Common Stock. The Business Combination Agreement provides that up to an additional 3,500,000 and 2,900,000 contingently issuable shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Earnout Shares") are payable after the Closing to the CMG Sellers and IMC Parent: (i) if within the first year after the Closing, the volume weighted-average trading price of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (the “First Share Price Trigger”), then 1,750,000 and 1,450,000 Earnout Shares are issuable to the CMG Sellers and IMC Parent, respectively, and (ii) if within the two years after the Closing (the “Second Earnout Period”), the volume weighted-average trading price of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (the “Second Share Price Trigger” and together with the First Share Price Trigger, the “Share Price Triggers”), then 1,750,000 and 1,450,000 Earnout Shares will be issued to the CMG Sellers and IMC Parent, respectively. If prior to (i) the satisfaction of the Share Price Triggers, and (ii) the end of the Second Earnout Period, the Company enters into a change in control transaction as described in the Business Combination Agreement, and the price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock payable to the stockholders of the Company in such change in control transaction is greater than the Share Price Triggers that have not been satisfied during the Earnout Period, then at the closing of such change in control transaction, the Share Price Triggers will be deemed to have been satisfied and the Company is required to issue, as of such closing, the applicable unissued Earnout Shares. The estimated fair value of the Earnout Shares was initially accounted for as a liability-classified instrument with changes in its fair value recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations until July 9, 2021. On July 9, 2021, the First Share Price Trigger was achieved, resulting in issuance of 1,750,000 and 1,450,000 Earnout Shares to the CMG Sellers and IMC Parent, respectively. Subsequent to the achievement of the First Share Price Trigger, the Company determined the Earnout Shares subject to the second Share Price Trigger should be equity classified and were recorded as such on July 9, 2021, the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As of September 30, 2022, the Second Share Price Trigger has not been achieved.

Stock-Based Compensation

On June 4, 2021, the stockholders of the Company approved the CareMax, Inc. 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), effective on the Closing Date. The 2021 Plan permits the grant of equity-based awards to officers, directors, employees and other service providers. The 2021 Plan permits the grant of an initial share pool of 7,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and will be increased automatically, without further action of the Company’s board of directors, on January 1st of each calendar year commencing after the Closing Date and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, by a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the lesser of (i) four percent of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on December 31st of the immediately preceding calendar year, excluding for this purpose any such outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock that were granted under the 2021 Plan and remain unvested and subject to forfeiture as of the relevant December 31st, or (ii) a lesser number of shares of Class A Common Stock as determined by the Company’s board of directors or the Compensation Committee of the board of directors prior to the relevant January 1st.

The following awards were granted under the 2021 Plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022:

NOTE 8. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization by which CMG issued equity for the net assets of the Company accompanied by a recapitalization. Earnings per share have been recast for all historical periods to reflect the Company’s capital structure for all comparative periods.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period subsequent to the transactions that occurred in connection with the Business Combination (in thousands, except share and per share data):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Net income (loss) attributable to CareMax, Inc. class A common stockholders	$	(22,053	)	$	(14,479	)	$	(48,230	)	$	(3,120	)

Weighted-average basic shares outstanding		87,408,605			82,552,520			87,415,801			40,847,294
Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding		87,408,605			82,552,520			87,415,801			40,847,294

Net income (loss) per share
Basic	$	(0.25	)	$	(0.18	)	$	(0.55	)	$	(0.08	)
Diluted	$	(0.25	)	$	(0.18	)	$	(0.55	)	$	(0.08	)

The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive or because issuance of shares underlying such securities is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Series A and Series B Warrants		8,000,000		8,000,000		8,000,000		8,000,000

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):


September 30, 2022	Quoted Prices in Active Markets		Significant other Observable Units		Significant other Unobservable Units
Description	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Derivative warrant liabilities - Public Warrants	$	5,405	$	—	$	—

Description	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Derivative warrant liabilities - Public Warrants	$	—	$	—	$	4,375
Derivative warrant liabilities - Private Placement Warrants	$	—	$	—	$	4,000

Fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. Key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation include the expected stock price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock after considering the historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The fair value of Public Warrants is measured using the listed market price of such warrants, which is considered to be a Level 1 fair value measurement.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized a loss resulting from an increase in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $7.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized gains of $10.2 million and 12.0 million, respectively.

There were no transfers between levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs used in measurement of fair value of Private Placement Warrants:


	September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
Exercise price	$	11.50		$	11.50
Unit price	$	7.09		$	7.68
Volatility		55.7	%		37.6	%
Expected life of the options to convert (years)		3.69			4.44
Risk-free rate		4.10	%		1.17	%
Dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%

The change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is summarized as follows (in thousands):


Fair value of derivative warrant liabilities at December 31, 2021	$	8,375
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities		3,476
Fair value of derivative warrant liabilities at September 30, 2022	$	11,851

NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On July 13, 2021, the Company entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, which is described in Note 7, Stockholders' Equity.

$0 and $0.4 million, respectively, in construction in progress representing construction advisory services provided to us by Related (none in 2021).

NOTE 11. OPERATING LEASES AND COMMITMENTS

The Company has entered into non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space and centers expiring at various times through 2033. The operating lease agreements have renewal options ranging from one to seven years. Future minimum rental payments under these lease agreements, including renewal options which are considered reasonably certain of exercise and inclusive of leases which have not yet commenced, consisted of the following at September 30, 2022 (in thousands):


Year	Amount
Remainder of 2022	$	3,786
2023		18,309
2024		19,192
2025		18,959
2026		18,170
Thereafter		208,556
Total	$	286,973

Rent expense, including related property taxes, sales taxes, and utilities, was $4.6 million and $12.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $2.8 million and $4.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Rent expense is included in corporate, general and administrative expenses and in cost of care in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, CMG was a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. A partnership is not a tax-paying entity for federal and state income tax purposes, and as such, the results of operations were allocated to the members for inclusion in their income tax returns. Following the Business Combination, the income of CMG flows through to the Company and is taxed at the federal and state levels accordingly.

Income tax expense was $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and the Company did not have any tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate was (0.8)% and (1.1)% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 0.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, based on the assessment of a full valuation allowance, excluding a portion attributable to the "naked credit" deferred tax liability.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Compliance

The health care industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Recently, government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services billed. Compliance with these laws and regulations, specifically those related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, can be subject to government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown and not yet asserted at this time. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with current laws and regulations.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management has not identified any legal actions that were deemed to be material, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 14. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

CAREMAX, inc.

NOTES TO condensed consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Medical Care of NY, P.C., Medical Care of Tennessee, PLLC and Medical Care of Texas, PLLC (together, the "PCs") were established to employ healthcare providers to deliver healthcare services to patients in New York, Tennessee and Texas. The Company concluded that it has variable interest in the PCs on the basis of its Administrative Service Agreements (the "ASAs") which provide for a management fee payable to the Company from the PCs in exchange for providing management and administrative services which creates risk and a potential return to the Company. The PCs' equity at risk, as defined by GAAP, is insufficient to finance their activities without additional support, and therefore, the PCs are considered to be VIEs.

In order to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the PCs, and, thus, is the PCs' primary beneficiary, the Company considered whether it has (i) the power to direct the activities of PCs that most significantly impacts their economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the PCs or the right to receive benefits from the PCs that could potentially be significant to them. The Company concluded that the member and employees of the PCs have no individual power to direct activities of the PCs that most significantly impact their economic performance. Under the ASAs, the Company is responsible for providing services that impact the growth of the patient population of the PCs, the management of that population's healthcare needs, the provision of required healthcare services to those patients, and the PCs' ability to receive revenue from health plans. In addition, the Company's variable interest in the PCs provides the Company with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to them. The single member of the PCs is an employee of the Company. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the PCs and therefore consolidates the balance sheet, results of operations and cash flow of the PCs.

Furthermore, as a direct result of nominal initial equity contributions by the single member of the PCs, the financial support CareMax provides to the PCs (e.g. loans) and the provisions of the arrangements described above, the interest held by the single member lacks economic substance and does not provide the member with the ability to participate in the residual profits or losses generated by the PCs. Therefore, all income and expenses recognized by the PCs are allocated to CareMax.

The following tables summarize the financial position and operations of the PCs (in thousands):


	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Total assets	$	1,215	$	-
Total liabilities	$	2,302	$	-


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2022		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Revenues	$	22	$	22
Operating expenses	$	683	$	1,064

NOTE 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In October 2022, in connection with the collaboration agreement with Elevance Health (formerly known as Anthem), which was announced in August 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note for an amount of $1.0 million due in October 2032. Funds received from Elevance Health pursuant to the aforementioned promissory note will be used to finance costs of one new center that will be opened in partnership with Elevance Health.

In November 2022, the Company drew $45.0 million of the Delayed Draw Terms Loans under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 6, Debt, for description of the terms of the Credit Agreement.

the Steward Transaction may not occur, and if it does, it may not be accretive and may cause dilution to our earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

Due to the uncertain nature of these factors, management cannot assess the impact of each factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any of these statements or circumstances occurring after the date of this Report.

Our Business

As of September 30, 2022, CareMax operated 51 centers in Florida, Tennessee, New York and Texas and planned to open 15 de novo centers during 2022, inclusive of the six opened during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. CareMax offers a comprehensive range of medical services, including primary and preventative care, specialist services, diagnostic testing, chronic disease management and dental and optometry services under global capitation contracts.

CareMax’s comprehensive, high touch approach to health care delivery is powered by its CareOptimize technology platform. CareOptimize is a proprietary end-to-end technology platform that aggregates data and analyzes that data using proprietary algorithms and machine learning to support more informed care delivery decisions and to focus care decisions on preventative chronic disease management and the social determinants of health. CareMax believes that CareOptimize is designed to drive better outcomes and lower costs. CareMax has shifted from selling the CareOptimize platform to new outside customers for a software subscription fee and is instead focused on providing the software to affiliated practices of its managed services organization ("MSO") to further improve financial, clinical and quality outcomes from the affiliated providers. As of September 30, 2022, this MSO serviced more than 100 independent physician associations ("IPAs").

CareMax’s centers offer 24/7 access to care through employed providers and provide a comprehensive suite of high-touch health care and social services to its patients, including primary care, specialty care, telemedicine, health & wellness, optometry, dental, pharmacy and transportation. CareMax’s differentiated healthcare delivery model is focused on care coordination with vertically integrated ambulatory care and community-centric services. The goal of CareMax is to intercede as early as possible to manage chronic conditions for its patient members in a proactive, holistic, and tailored manner to provide a positive influence on patient outcomes and a reduction in overall healthcare costs. CareMax focuses on providing access to high quality care in underserved communities.

While CareMax’s primary focus is providing care to Medicare eligible seniors who are mostly 65+ (approximately 80% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 came from these patients), we also provide services to children and adults through Medicaid programs as well as through commercial insurance plans. Substantially all of CareMax’s Medicare patients are enrolled in MA plans which are run by private insurance companies and are approved by and under contract with Medicare. With MA, patients get all of the same coverage as original Medicare, including emergency care, and most plans also include prescription drug coverage. In many cases, MA plans offer more benefits than original Medicare, including dental, vision, hearing and wellness programs.

We believe we can translate the above premium services into economic benefits. By focusing on interventions that keep our patients healthy, we can capture the cost savings that our care model creates and reinvest them further in our care model. We believe these investments lead to better outcomes and improved patient experiences, which will drive further cost savings, power patient retention and enable us to attract new patients. We believe increasing cost savings over a growing patient population will deliver an even greater surplus to the organization, enabling us to reinvest to scale and fund new centers, progress our care model and enhance our technology.

Pending Steward Transaction

In May 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Sparta Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (iii) Sparta Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (iv) Sparta Merger Sub III Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (v) Sparta Merger Sub I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (vi) Sparta Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (vii) Sparta Merger Sub III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (viii) Sparta Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SACN Holdco"), (ix) SNCN Holdco Inc. a Delaware corporation ("SNCN Holdco"), (x) SICN Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SICN Holdco" and, collectively with SACN Holdco, SNCN Holdco, Steward National Care Network, Inc., Steward Integrated Care Network, Inc., and Steward Accountable Care Network, Inc., each a "target" and, collectively, the "Targets"), (xi) Sparta Holding Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and (xii) Steward Health Care System LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (referred to collectively with the Seller, the “Seller Parties”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire the Medicare value-based care business ("Steward Value-Based Care") of the Seller Parties (such transaction, the “Steward Transaction”).

(22)

The aggregate consideration to be paid to the Seller at closing includes cash payment of $25 million, subject to customary adjustments, and 23,500,000 shares, subject to adjustment, of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Class A Common Stock"). In addition, the Merger Agreement provides for earnout share consideration that will be due to the Seller upon achievement of certain milestones. At closing, the Company will also issue to certain equityholders of the Seller shares of a newly designated series of preferred stock of the Company, which will provide voting rights to such Seller equityholders, until the earlier of (i) the two year anniversary of the closing of the Steward Transaction and (ii) the issuance of earnout share consideration on certain discrete matters where such Seller equityholders are permitted to vote the Company's securities in their discretion under the investor rights agreement to be entered into between such equityholders of the Seller and the Company. Finally, at closing, the Company will also pay the Seller an amount equal to the value of the Target's accounts receivable attributable to Medicare value-based payments for the period between January 1, 2021 and the closing, minus the amount of such payments payable to the affiliate physicians of the Targets (the “Financed Net Pre-Closing Medicare AR”).

In November 2022, the Company drew $45.0 million of the Delayed Draw Terms Loans under the Credit Agreement. The proceeds from this borrowing will be used to fund a portion of the Steward Transaction. We expect to incur incremental debt to finance the Financed Net Pre-Closing Medicare AR in connection with closing of the Steward Transaction.

On November 2, 2022, the Company's stockholders approved the issuance of stock as partial consideration for the Steward Transaction for purposes of compliance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Steward Transaction is expected to close promptly after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Our Patients

As discussed above, CareMax partners with MA, Medicaid, and commercial insurance plans. While CareMax currently services mostly MA patients, we also accept Medicare Fee-for-Service patients. The chart below shows a breakdown of our current membership on a pro forma basis. This pro forma view assumes the Business Combination with IMC occurred on January 1, 2020, and is based upon estimates which we believe are reasonable:


Patient Count as of*	Sep 30, 2020		Dec 31, 2020		Mar 31, 2021		Jun 30, 2021		Sep 30, 2021		Dec 31, 2021		Mar 31, 2022		Jun 30, 2022		Sep 30, 2022

*Figures may not sum due to rounding

Because CareMax accepts multiple insurance types, it uses a Medicare-Equivalent Member (“MCREM”) value in reviewing key factors of its performance. To determine the Medicare-Equivalent, CareMax calculates the amount of support typically received by one Medicare patient as equivalent to the level of support received by three Medicaid or Commercial patients. This is due to Medicare patients on average having significantly higher levels of chronic and acute conditions that need higher levels of care. Due to this dynamic, a 3:1 ratio is applied when normalizing membership statistics year over year. The breakdown of membership on a pro forma basis using MCREM is below:


MCREM Count as of*	Sep 30, 2020		Dec 31, 2020		Mar 31, 2021		Jun 30, 2021		Sep 30, 2021		Dec 31, 2021		Mar 31, 2022		Jun 20, 2022		Sep 30, 2022

Medicare Advantage Patients

(23)

As of September 30, 2022, CareMax had approximately 39,500 MA patients of which 83% were in value-based, or risk-based, contracts. This means CareMax has been selected as the patient’s primary care provider and is financially responsible for all of the patient’s medical costs. For these patients CareMax is attributed an agreed percentage of the premium the MA plan receives from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) (typically a substantial majority of such premium given the risk assumed by CareMax). A reconciliation is performed periodically and if premiums exceed medical costs paid by the MA plan, CareMax receives payment from the MA plan. If medical costs paid by the MA plan exceed premiums, CareMax is responsible to reimburse the MA plan.

Medicaid Patients

As of September 30, 2022, CareMax had approximately 31,500 Medicaid patients of which approximately 95% were in value-based contracts. Using the MCREM metric, the level of support required to manage these Medicaid patients equates to that of approximately 10,600 Medicare patients. In Florida, most Medicaid recipients are enrolled in the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care program.

Similar to the risk it takes with Medicare, CareMax is attributed an agreed percentage of the premium the Medicaid plan receives (typically a substantial majority of such premium given the risk assumed by CareMax). A reconciliation is performed periodically and if premiums exceed medical costs paid by the Medicaid plan, CareMax receives payment from the Medicaid plan. If medical costs paid by the Medicaid plan exceed premiums, we are responsible to reimburse the Medicaid plan.

Commercial Patients

As of September 30, 2022, CareMax managed approximately 22,000 commercial patients of which approximately 26% were under value-based contracts that provided upside-only financial incentives for quality and utilization performance. Using the MCREM, the level of support required to manage these commercial patients equates to that of approximately 7,300 Medicare patients.

CareMax cares for a number of commercial patients (approximately 14% of CareMax's total patients) for whom it is reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis via their health plan in situations where it does not have a capitation relationship with that particular health plan.

CareMax fee for-service revenue, received directly from commercial plans, on a per patient basis is lower than its per patient revenue for at-risk patients based in part because its fee-for-service revenue covers only the primary care services that it directly provides to the patient, while the risk revenue is intended to compensate it for the services directly performed by it as well as the financial risk that it assumes related to the third-party medical expenses of at-risk patients.

Contract with Payors

Our economic model relies on its capitated partnerships with payors which manage and market MA plans across the United States. CareMax has established strategic value-based relationships with eleven different payors for Medicare Advantage patients, four different payors for Medicaid patients and one payor for Affordable Care Act ("ACA") patients. Our three largest payor relationships were Payor A, Payor B and Payor C, which generated 30%, 19% and 17% of our revenue, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 our largest payor relationships were Payor A, Payor D, and Payor E, which generated 46%, 17%, and 16% of our revenue on a pro forma basis, assuming the Business Combination with IMC occurred on January 1, 2021. These existing contracts and relationships with our partners’ understanding of the value of the CareMax model reduces the risk of entering into new markets as CareMax typically has payor contracts before entering a new market. Maintaining, supporting, and growing these relationships, particularly as CareMax enters new markets, is critical to our long-term success. We believe CareMax’s model is well-aligned with its payor partners - to drive better health outcomes for their patients, enhancing patient satisfaction, while driving incremental patient and revenue growth. This alignment of interests helps ensures our continued success with our payor partners.

Effectively Manage the Cost of Care for Our Patients

The capitated nature of our contracting with payors requires us to prudently manage the medical expense of our patients. Our external provider costs are our largest expense category, representing 65% of our total operating expenses for the nine months

(24)

ended September 30, 2022 and 65% of our total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our care model focuses on leveraging the primary care setting as a means of avoiding costly downstream healthcare costs, such as acute hospital admissions. Our patients retain the freedom to seek care at ERs or hospitals; we do not restrict their access to care. Therefore, we could be liable for potentially large medical claims should we not effectively manage our patients’ health. We utilize stop-loss insurance for our patients, protecting us for medical claims per episode in excess of certain levels.

Center-Level Contribution Margin

We endeavor to expand our number of centers and number of patients at each center over time. Due to the significant fixed costs associated with operating and managing our centers, we generate significantly better center-level contribution margins as the patient base within our centers increases and our costs decrease as a percentage of revenue. As a result, the value of a center to our business increases over time when the number of patients at a center expands.

Seasonality to our Business

Due to the large number of dual-eligible patients (meaning eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid) we serve, the annual enrollment period does not materially affect our growth during the year. We typically see large increases in ACA patients during the first quarter as a result of the ACA annual enrollment period (October to December). However, this is not a large portion of our business.

Our operational and financial results will experience some variability depending upon the time of year in which they are measured. This variability is most notable in the following areas:

Per-Patient Revenue

The revenue derived from our at-risk patients is a function of the percentage of premium we have negotiated with our payor partners, as well as our ability to accurately and appropriately document the acuity of a patient. We experience some seasonality with respect to our per-patient revenue, as it will generally decline over the course of the year. In January of each year, CMS revises the risk adjustment factor for each patient based upon health conditions documented in the prior year, leading to changes in per-patient revenue. As the year progresses, our per-patient revenue declines as new patients join us, typically with less complete or accurate documentation (and therefore lower risk-adjustment scores), and patient mortality disproportionately impacts our higher-risk (and therefore greater revenue) patients.

External Provider Costs

External provider costs will vary seasonally depending on a number of factors, but most significantly the weather. Certain illnesses, such as the influenza virus, are far more prevalent during colder months of the year, which can result in an increase in medical expenses during these time periods. We would therefore expect to see higher levels of per-patient medical costs in the first and fourth quarters. Medical costs also depend upon the number of business days in a period. Shorter periods will have lesser medical costs due to fewer business days. Business days can also create year-over-year comparability issues if one year has a different number of business days compared to another. We would also expect to experience an impact in the future should there be another pandemic such as COVID-19, which may result in increased or decreased total medical costs depending upon the severity of the infection, the duration of the infection and the impact to the supply and availability of healthcare services for our patients.

Investments in Growth

We expect to continue to focus on long-term growth through investments in our centers, care model and marketing. In addition, we expect our corporate, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future to support our growth and additional costs as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, the stock exchange listing standards, additional corporate and director and officer insurance expenses, greater investor relations expenses and increased legal, audit and consulting fees. As we have communicated, we plan to invest in openings of new de novo centers over the next several years. Historically, de novo centers require upfront capital and operating expenditures, which may not be fully offset by additional revenues in the near-term, and we similarly expect a period of unprofitability in our future de novo centers before they break even. While our net income (loss) may decrease in the future because of these activities, we plan to balance these investments in future growth with a

(25)

continued focus on managing our results of operations and generating positive income from our core centers. In the longer term we anticipate that these investments will positively impact our business and results of operations.

Key Business Metrics

In addition to our financial information which conforms with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management reviews a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate its business, measure its performance, identify trends affecting its business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.

(26)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Certain financial information and data contained in this Report is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in, or may be presented differently in, any periodic filing, information or proxy statement, or prospectus or registration statement to be filed by the Company with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Report, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Platform Contribution have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures of financial results are not GAAP measures of our financial results or liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial results, cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes.

The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. For this reason, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other companies' similarly labeled non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. You should review the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the Annual Report.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Management defines EBITDA as net income or net loss before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, and gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for special items such as duplicative costs, non-recurring legal, consulting, and professional fees, stock-based compensation, de novo costs for the first 18 months after opening, discontinued operations, acquisition costs and other costs that are considered one-time in nature as determined by management. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA presented on a pro forma basis gives effect to the acquisitions of IMC and Care Holdings Group, LLC ("Care Holdings"), which owned Care Optimize LLC, as if they had occurred in historical periods, which does not necessarily reflect what the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA would have been had the acquisitions occurred on the dates indicated. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to be used as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Management believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measure with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentations of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its 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 may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.

Due to 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 the GAAP results and using

(27)

Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. Please review the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and do not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business:

Platform Contribution

We define Platform Contribution as revenue less the sum of (i) external provider costs and (ii) cost of care. We believe this metric best reflects the economics of our care model as it includes all medical claims expense associated with our patients’ care. As a center matures, we expect the Platform Contribution from that center to increase both in terms of absolute dollars as well as a percentage of capitated revenue. This increase will be driven by improving patient contribution economics over time, as well as our ability to generate operating leverage on the costs of our centers. Our aggregate Platform Contribution may not increase despite improving economics at our existing centers should we open new centers at a pace that skews our mix of centers towards newer centers. We would expect to experience minimal seasonality in Platform Contribution due to minimal seasonality in our patient contribution.

In addition to our GAAP financial information, we review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. The chart below is a pro forma view of our operations. This pro forma view assumes the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2020, and is based upon estimates which we believe are reasonable.

(28)

Centers

We define our centers as those primary care centers open for business and capable of attending to patients at the end of a particular period.

Patients (MCREM)

MCREM patients includes both at-risk MA patients (those patients for whom we are financially responsible for their total healthcare costs) as well as risk and non-risk, non-MA patients. We define our total at-risk patients as at-risk patients who have selected us as their provider of primary care medical services as of the end of a particular period. We define our total fee-for-service patients as fee-for-service patients who come to one of our centers for medical care at least once per year. A fee-for-service and at-risk patient remains active in our system until we are informed by the health plan the patient is no longer active. As discussed above, CareMax calculates the amount of support typically received by one Medicare patient as equivalent to the level of support received by three Medicaid or Commercial patients.

Impact of COVID-19

The rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world and throughout the United States altered the behavior of businesses and people, with significant negative effects on federal, state and local economies. The virus disproportionately impacts older adults, especially those with chronic illnesses, which describes many of our patients.

We estimate our performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 has been negatively impacted by approximately $1.0 million of direct COVID-19 costs, with negligible impact noted during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Management cannot accurately predict the future impacts of COVID-19 due to the uncertainty surrounding future spikes in COVID-19 cases or new variants that may emerge in the future.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Medicare risk-based revenue and Medicaid risk-based revenue. Our Medicare and Medicaid risk-based revenue consists primarily of capitation fees for medical services provided by us or managed by our MSO under a global capitation arrangement made directly with various MA payors. Capitation is a fixed amount of money per patient per month paid in advance for the delivery of health care services, whereby we are generally liable for medical costs in excess of the fixed payment and are able to retain any surplus created if medical costs are less than the fixed payment. A portion of our capitated revenues are typically prepaid monthly to us based on the number of MA patients selecting us as their primary care provider. Our capitated rates are determined as a percentage of the premium the MA plan receives from CMS for our at-risk members. Those premiums are determined via a competitive bidding process with CMS and are based upon the cost of care in a local market and the average utilization of services by the patients enrolled. Medicare pays capitation using a “risk adjustment model,” which compensates providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual patient. Payors with higher acuity patients receive more in premium, and those with lower acuity patients receive less in premium. Under the risk adjustment model, capitation is paid on an interim basis based on enrollee data submitted for the preceding year and is adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled. As premiums are adjusted via this risk adjustment model, our capitation payments will change in unison with how our payor partners’ premiums change with CMS. Risk adjustment in future periods may be impacted by COVID-19 and our inability to accurately document the health needs of our patients in a compliant manner, which may have an adverse impact on our revenue.

For Medicaid in Florida, premiums are determined by Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration ("AHCA") base rates and are adjusted annually using historical utilization data projected forward by a third-party actuarial firm. The rates are established based on specific cohorts by age and sex and geographical location. AHCA uses a “zero sum” risk adjustment model that establishes acuity for certain cohorts of patients quarterly, depending on the scoring of that acuity, and may periodically shift premiums from health plans with lower acuity members to health plans with higher acuity members.

(29)

Other revenue. Other revenue includes professional capitation payments. These revenues are a fixed amount of money per patient per month paid in advance for the delivery of primary care services only, whereby CareMax is not liable for medical costs in excess of the fixed payment. Capitated revenues are typically prepaid monthly to CareMax based on the number of patients selecting us as their primary care provider. Our capitated rates are fixed, contractual rates. Incentive payments for Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (“HEDIS”) and any services paid on a fee for service basis by a health plan are also included in other revenue. Other revenue also includes ancillary fees earned under contracts with certain payors for the provision of certain care coordination and other care management services. These services are provided to patients covered by these payors regardless of whether those patients receive their care from our affiliated medical groups. Revenue for primary care service for patients in a partial risk or up-side only contract, pharmacy revenue and revenue generated from Care Holdings are reported in other revenue.

We expect capitated revenue will increase as a percentage of total revenues over time because of the greater revenue economics associated with at-risk patients compared to fee-for-service patients.

Operating Expenses

External provider costs. External provider costs include all services at-risk patients utilize. These include claims paid by the health plan and estimates for unpaid claims. The estimated reserve for incurred but not paid claims is included in accounts receivable as we do not directly pay medical claims. Actual claims expense will differ from the estimated liability due to factors in estimated and actual patient utilization of health care services, the amount of charges, and other factors. We typically reconcile our medical claims expense with our payor partners on a monthly basis and adjust our estimate of incurred but not paid claims if necessary. To the extent we revise our estimates of incurred but not paid claims for prior periods up or down, there would be a correspondingly favorable or unfavorable effect on our current period results that may or may not reflect changes in long term trends in our performance. We expect our medical claims expenses to increase in both absolute dollar terms as well as on a per patient per month ("PPPM") basis given the healthcare spending trends within the Medicare population and the increasing disease burden of patients as they age.

Cost of care. Cost of care includes the costs of additional medical services we provide to patients that are not paid by the plan. These services include patient transportation, medical supplies, auto insurance and other specialty costs, like dental or vision. In some instances, we have negotiated better rates than the health plans for these health plan covered services. In addition, cost of care includes payroll, rent and facilities costs required to maintain and operate our centers.

Expenses from our physician groups that contract with our MSO are consolidated with other clinical and MSO expenses to determine profitability for our at-risk and fee-for-service arrangements. Physician group economics are not evaluated on a stand-alone basis, as certain non-clinical expenses need to be consolidated to consider profitability.

We measure the incremental cost of our capitation agreements by starting with our center-level expenses, which are calculated based upon actual expenses incurred at a specific center for a given period of time and expenses that are incurred centrally and allocated to centers on a ratable basis. These expenses are allocated to our at-risk patients based upon the number of visit slots these patients utilized compared to the total slots utilized by all of our patients. All visits, however, are not identical and do not require the same level of effort and expense on our part. Certain types of visits are more time and resource intensive and therefore result in higher expenses for services provided internally. Generally, patients who are earlier in their tenure with CareMax utilize a higher percentage of these more intensive visits, as we get to know the patient and properly assess and document such patient’s health condition.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses include the cost of our sales and community relations team, including salaries and commissions, radio and television advertising, events and promotional items.

Corporate, general and administrative expenses. Corporate, general and administrative expenses include employee-related expenses, including salaries and related costs and stock-based compensation, technology infrastructure, operations, clinical and quality support, finance, legal, human resources, and business development departments. In addition, corporate, general and administrative expenses include corporate technology, third party professional services and corporate occupancy costs. We expect these expenses to increase over time due to the additional legal, accounting, insurance, investor relations and other costs that we will incur as a public company, as well as other costs associated with continuing to grow our business. We also expect our corporate, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the foreseeable future. However, we anticipate corporate, general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term, although they may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period due to the timing and amount of these expenses.

(30)

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are primarily attributable to our capital investments and consist of fixed asset depreciation, amortization of intangibles considered to have definite lives, and amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs.

Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs consist of legal and other transaction-related expenses.

Nonoperating Income (Expenses)

Interest expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest payments on our outstanding borrowings.

Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities. Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities consists of changes in fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants.

Gain (loss) on remeasurement of contingent earnout liabilities. Gain (loss) on remeasurement of contingent earnout liabilities consists of changes in the fair value of contingent earnout liabilities.

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt. Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt consists primarily of write-offs of unamortized debt issuance costs upon early repayments of debt.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net, consists of miscellaneous corporate expenses.

*Figures may not sum due to rounding

Medicare risk-based revenue. Medicare risk-based revenue was $122.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $45.8 million, or 60%, compared to $76.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven primarily by a 51% increase in the total number of at-risk patients primarily from the acquisitions of CMG, SMA, DNF, and Advantis (the "Acquisitions") and the Business Combination with IMC and the conversion of partial risk patients to full risk, as well as a 6% increase in rates, driven by member mix.

Medicaid risk-based revenue. Medicaid risk-based revenue was $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 5%, compared to $20.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was driven primarily by a 33% decrease in rates, driven by member mix, offset by a 26% increase in patients.

Other revenue. Other revenue was $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $8.2 million, or 113%, compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is related to fee-for-service and pharmacy revenues acquired in various acquisitions and higher HEDIS and other partial risk surplus payments.

External provider costs. External provider costs were $106.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $33.6 million, or 46%, compared to $73.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by incremental costs to support the 51% increase in revenue over the same period, which was driven by a 39% increase in at-risk patients, including Medicaid.

Cost of care expenses. Cost of care expenses were $30.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $8.6 million, or 40%, compared to $21.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to increases in salaries and wages, medical supplies, and other related costs to support and operate the higher number of centers and members in the current period as a result of the impact of the Acquisitions and the Business Combination with IMC, as compared to the prior period.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $1.1 million, or 85%, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase

(32)

was primarily due to expanding our sales staff and marketing efforts to increase membership levels in our centers, as we have grown the number of centers we operate in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Corporate, general and administrative expenses. Corporate, general and administrative expenses were $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $8.1 million, or 60%, compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily from higher salaries, wages and professional fees as we grow our corporate infrastructure to support our operational growth.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 12%, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to certain trademarks being fully amortized and certain fixed assets being fully depreciated throughout 2022.

Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs were $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 44%, compared to $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. In 2022, this cost relates primarily to the Steward Transaction.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $4.8 million, or 371%, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This current period increase was due to the increased borrowings and higher weighted-average interest rate. Refer to Note 6, Debt, for further information on the increased borrowing.

Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities. We recorded a loss of $7.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $17.6 million, or 172%, compared to a gain of $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease is primarily driven by the increase in CareMax's stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the decrease in CareMax's stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Gain (loss) on remeasurement of contingent earnout liabilities. We recorded a loss on remeasurement of contingent earnout liabilities of $11.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Contingent earnout liabilities are no longer remeasured to fair value following their reclassification to equity during the third quarter 2021, accordingly, no gain or loss on contingent earnout liabilities was recognized in 2022.

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt. There were no extinguishments of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a gain of $0.3 million related to the forgiveness of Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loans.

Other income (expenses), net. Other income was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $0.9 million as compared to other expenses of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Medicare risk-based revenue. Medicare risk-based revenue was $373.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $231.7 million, or 163%, compared to $142.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven primarily by a 164% increase in the total number of at-risk patients from the Acquisitions and as a result of the Business Combination with IMC.

Medicaid risk-based revenue. Medicaid risk-based revenue was $59.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $33.6 million, or 128% compared to $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Medicaid risk-based revenue relates entirely to patients that were acquired from the Business Combination with IMC in June 2021.

Other revenue. Other revenue was $33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $24.2 million, or 265%, compared to $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is related to fee-for-service and pharmacy revenues from the Acquisitions and higher HEDIS and other surplus bonuses.

External provider costs. External provider costs were $320.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $193.1 million, or 152%, compared to $127.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by incremental costs to support the 163% increase in revenue over the same period, which was driven by a 159% increase in at-risk patients, including Medicaid, from the Acquisitions and as a result of the Business Combination with IMC, partially offset by a 3% decrease in rates, driven by member mix.

Cost of care expenses. Cost of care expenses were $87.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $53.1 million, or 153%, compared to $34.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to increases in salaries and wages, medical supplies, and other related costs to support and operate the higher number of centers and members in 2022 as a result of the impact of the Acquisitions and the Business Combination with IMC, as compared to 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $5.6 million, or 240%, compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily higher salaries and wages and professional fees as we grow our corporate infrastructure to support our operational growth.

(34)

Corporate, general and administrative expenses. Corporate, general and administrative expenses were $58.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $34.5 million, or 142%, compared to $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily from the acquired overhead related to the Acquisitions and the Business Combination with IMC, as well as costs associated with becoming a publicly traded company.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $7.4 million, or 104%, compared to $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is mostly driven by the higher amortization expense due to having nine months of amortization expense during the current period, as compared to approximately four months of amortization expense in the prior period, as we recorded intangible assets for the Business Combination with IMC in June 2021.

Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs were $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.5 million, or 245%, compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily driven by the costs associated with the Steward Transaction.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $9.1 million, or 352%, compared to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was due to the increased borrowings and higher weighted-average interest rate. Refer to Note 6, Debt for further information on the increased borrowings.

Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities. We have recorded a loss of $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $15.5 million, or 129%, as compared to the gain of $12.0 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease is driven primarily by the increase in interest rates. Refer to Note 9, Fair Value Measurements for further information on these warrants.

Gain (loss) on remeasurement of contingent earnout liabilities. We recorded a gain on remeasurement of contingent earnout liabilities of $5.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Contingent earnout liabilities are no longer remeasured to fair value following their reclassification to equity during the third quarter 2021, accordingly, no gain or loss on contingent earnout liabilities was recognized in 2022.

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in connection with the early extinguishment and termination of the Existing Credit Agreement, we have recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a gain of $1.6 million primarily driven by the forgiveness of PPP loans of $2.5 million, partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million.

Other income (expenses), net. Other expenses were $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.4 million as compared to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash on hand of $53.3 million. In addition, our Credit Agreement provides the ability to draw term loans in an amount up to $110 million under certain circumstances to finance permitted acquisitions and similar permitted investments, de novo center growth and optimization of de novo centers and management services organization performance. In November 2022, we borrowed $45.0 million of the Delayed Draw Term Loans under the Credit Agreement. The proceeds from this borrowing will be used to fund a portion of the Steward Transaction. We expect to incur incremental debt to finance the Financed Net Pre-Closing Medicare AR in connection with closing of the Steward Transaction.

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash generated by our centers and MSO operations, borrowings under our credit facilities and proceeds from equity issuances. We have used these funds to meet our capital requirements, which consist of salaries, labor, benefits and other employee-related costs, product and supply costs, third-party customer service, billing and collections and logistics costs, capital expenditures including patient equipment, center and office lease expenses, insurance premiums, acquisitions and debt service. Our future capital expenditure requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and scale of our expansion in new and existing markets, any future acquisitions, patient volume, and revenue growth rates. Many of our capital expenditures are made in advance of patients beginning service. Certain operating costs are incurred at the beginning of the equipment service period and during initial patient set up. We also expect to incur costs related to

(35)

acquisitions and de novo growth through the opening of new centers, which we expect to require significant capital expenditures, including lease and construction expenses. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing, in addition to cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facilities in connection with our business growth, including debt financing that may be available to us from certain health plans for each new center that we open under the terms of our agreements with those health plans. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all. If additional capital is unavailable when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. We believe that our existing cash, amounts available under our Credit Agreement, and amounts available to us under our agreement with Elevance Health, each as described below, will continue to be sufficient to fund our operations and growth strategies for at least the next 12 months.

The Impact of COVID-19

As further detailed above in “Impact of COVID-19”, we estimate our performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, has been impacted by approximately $1.0 million of direct COVID-19 costs, with negligible impact noted during the three months ended September 30, 2022. While it is impossible to predict the scope or duration of COVID-19 or the future impact on our liquidity and capital resources, COVID-19 could materially affect our liquidity and operating cash flows in future periods.

Credit Facilities

In May 2022, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement that provided for an aggregate of up to $300 million in term loans, comprised of (i) initial term loans in aggregate principal amount of $190 million (the “Initial Term Loans”) and (ii) a delayed term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”). The Credit Agreement permits the Company to enter into certain incremental facilities subject to compliance with the terms, conditions and covenants set forth therein. In May 2022, the Company drew $190 million of the Initial Term Loans and used approximately $121 million of the net proceeds from this borrowing to repay its outstanding obligations under the credit agreement dated June 8, 2021, as amended (the "Existing Credit Agreement”). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized debt extinguishment losses of $6.2 million related to early repayment of the Existing Credit Agreement.

Based on the elections made by the Company, as of September 30, 2022, the Initial Term Loan borrowings bear interest of Term SOFR (calculated as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website, plus a spread adjustment of 0.114%), plus an applicable margin rate of 9.00%. As permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Company elected to capitalize 4.00% of the interest as principal amount on the outstanding Term Loans. As a result of this election, the cash interest component of the applicable margin increases by 0.50%. Amortization payments under the Credit Agreement are payable in quarterly installments, commencing on March 31, 2024, in aggregate principal amounts equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal balance. As of September 30, 2022, no amounts were borrowed under the Delayed Draw Term Loans and $190 million was outstanding under the Initial Term Loans. In November 2022, we borrowed $45.0 million of the Delayed Draw Term Loans under the Credit Agreement. All amounts owed under the Credit Agreement are due in May 2027.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, liens or encumbrances, to make certain investments, to enter into sale-leaseback transactions or sell certain assets, to make certain restricted payments or pay dividends, to enter into consolidations, to transact with affiliates and to amend certain agreements, subject in each case to the exceptions and other qualifications as provided in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that require the Company to satisfy a minimum liquidity requirement of $50.0 million, which may be decreased to $25.0 million if the Company achieves a certain adjusted EBITDA, and maintains a maximum total leverage ratio based on the Company’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, with de novo losses excluded from the calculation of such ratio for up to 36 months after the opening of a de novo center, which maximum total leverage ratio will initially be 8.50 to 1.00, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 and is subject to a series of step-downs. For the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2026 and thereafter, the Company must maintain a maximum total leverage ratio no greater than 5.50 to 1.00.

Elevance Health Collaboration Agreement

In connection with our collaboration agreement with Elevance Health (formerly known as Anthem), which was announced in August of 2021 (the "Elevance Collaboration Agreement"), we plan to open centers across eight priority states as part of our de novo strategy to open new centers in additional markets. Elevance Health has agreed to provide debt financing of up to $1

(36)

million for each new center opened in partnership with Elevance Health. We intend to use such funds to partially offset the costs of opening new centers in connection with our de novo growth strategy.

In October of 2022, in connection with the Elevance Collaboration Agreement we have entered into a promissory note for an amount of $1.0 million due in October 2032. Funds received from Elevance Health pursuant to the aforementioned promissory note will be used to finance costs of one new center that will be opened in partnership with Elevance Health.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:


(in thousands)	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(39,811	)	$	(8,801	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	(4,969	)	$	(301,311	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	50,179		$	385,630

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $39.8 million, an increase of $31.0 million, as compared to $8.8 million used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable of $47.4 million, offset by the effect of a $14.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, both mostly driven by the timing of collections and payments and, to a lesser extent, the growth in total revenue.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $4.9 million, which was driven by purchases of leasehold improvements and medical equipment for our centers, cash purchase consideration of $0.9 million related to the acquisition of two medical practices, offset by the return of funds held in escrow related to 2021 acquisitions, as compared to $301.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by the acquisitions of IMC and SMA.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $50.2 million driven by the proceeds of $184.0 million from borrowings issued under the Credit Agreement, offset by the early repayment of our Existing Credit Agreement and related debt issuance costs of $128.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $385.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily related to the Business Combination, and consisted of $125.0 million of borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement, $415.0 million from issuance and sale of Class A Common Stock, partially offset by cash used in the consummation of the reverse recapitalization of $108.4 million, repayment of borrowings of $26.1 million, equity issuance costs of $12.5 million, payment of deferred financing costs of $6.9 million and payment of debt prepayment penalties of $0.5 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our principal commitments consist of obligations under the Credit Agreement and operating leases for our centers.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, other than operating leases.

JOBS Act

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, as an emerging growth company, we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our consolidated financial statements with a public company which is neither an emerging growth company, nor an emerging

(37)

growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Other than addition of a policy related to accounting for VIEs, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022.

Variable Interest Entities

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements” included in this Report for more information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

(38)

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of September 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective as of September 30, 2022, based on the material weaknesses identified below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses we identified include that we lack a sufficient complement of professionals with the appropriate level of knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters commensurate with our accounting and reporting requirements as a public company. This material weakness contributed to the Company not designing and maintaining formal controls to analyze, account for and disclose complex transactions, including the accounting for financial instruments and contingent earnout liabilities. These material weaknesses resulted in:

•

Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses

In response to the aforementioned material weaknesses, management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. In 2021, management engaged an external advisor to assist in evaluating and documenting the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and their work is ongoing. Additionally, management has developed and started to execute a remediation plan, which included the hiring of a Vice President of Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting during the first quarter of 2022 and hiring of the Chief Accounting Officer with technical public company accounting and financial reporting experience during the third quarter of 2022. Our plan also includes providing enhanced access to accounting training, literature, research materials and documents and implementation of controls to review and evaluate conclusions regarding accounting for complex transactions. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management completes the design and implementation of the measures 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

As described above, there were changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, CareMax may be involved in various legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable and uncertain, CareMax is not currently a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to CareMax, are believed to, either individually or taken together, have a material adverse effect on CareMax’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. Regardless of the outcome, litigation has the potential to have an adverse impact on CareMax because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the principal risks that we believe to be material to our business, results of operations and financial condition, from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Risks Related to the Acquisition of the Medicare value-based care business of the Seller Parties

The Merger Agreement with the Seller Parties is subject to closing conditions and there can be no guarantee the Closing will occur.

On May 31, 2022, we entered into the Merger Agreement with the Seller Parties and the other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other consideration, we will issue at the Steward Closing 23,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Initial Share Consideration”), and immediately following the Steward Closing, the equityholders of Seller are expected to own, in the aggregate, approximately 21% of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Additionally, following the Steward Closing, upon the Company’s effective conversion of 100,000 Medicare patients from the Seller Parties’ Medicare network to risk-based, value-based care arrangements with a Medical Expense Ratio of less than 85% for two consecutive calendar quarters, we will issue the Seller, for immediate distribution to its equityholders, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Earnout Share Consideration” and together with the Initial Share Consideration, the “Share Consideration”) that, when added to the Initial Share Consideration, would have represented 41% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of the Steward Transaction Closing.

The Merger Agreement contains customary closing conditions set forth therein. There can be no guarantee that all conditions to the Steward Transaction Closing will be satisfied on a timely basis or at all. In the event that the Steward Transaction Closing does not occur, the anticipated benefits of the Steward Transactions will not be realized, which could have a material adverse effect on our future growth, business, financial condition and results of operations.

The issuance of the Share Consideration will result in dilution to our stockholders and may adversely affect us, including the market price of our securities.

The Initial Share Consideration to be issued under the Merger Agreement consists of 23,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is expected to be approximately 21% of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, will result in a significant, immediate dilution to the Company’s stockholders and may cause the trading price of the Company’s securities to decline. Additionally, upon the issuance of the Earnout Share Consideration, there will be significant additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders, and even in the event that the Earnout Share Consideration is not issued, the potential for the issuance of the Earnout Share Consideration may negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s securities in anticipation of such dilution. Additionally, the dilution caused by the Share Consideration could, among other things, limit the ability of our current stockholders to influence management of the Company post-closing.

Certain of the equityholders who will receive Share Consideration will be subject to lockup provisions that restrict the sale of the Class A Common Stock by such persons in excess of 4% of the total outstanding Class A Common Stock immediately following the Steward Transaction Closing for one year, subject to certain exceptions, but sales of a substantial number of the Equity Consideration Securities in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our securities, notwithstanding such lockup provisions.

Failure to complete the Steward Transaction could negatively impact the Company.

(40)

If the Steward Transaction is not completed for any reason, there may be various adverse consequences and we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from our employees and patients. Additionally, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, the market price of our securities could decline to the extent that current market prices reflect a market assumption that the Steward Transaction will be beneficial and will be completed. We also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Steward Transaction or to perform our obligations under the Merger Agreement.

The Acquisition may be more difficult, costly, or time-consuming than expected, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Steward Transaction.

To realize the anticipated benefits from the Steward Transaction, we must successfully integrate and combine our business with that of Steward Value-Based Care. If we are not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Steward Transaction may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, the actual benefits of the Steward Transaction could be less than anticipated, and integration may result in additional unforeseen expenses. In addition, we and Steward Value-Based Care have operated and, until the completion of the Steward Transaction, must continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of one or more key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies that adversely affect each company’s ability to maintain relationships with doctors, patients, and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Steward Transaction. Integration efforts between the companies may also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on CareMax during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the Steward Transaction.

We are subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Steward Transaction is pending.

Uncertainty about the effects of the Steward Transaction may have an adverse effect on us or Steward Value-Based Care. These uncertainties may impair Steward Value-Based Care’s and our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Steward Transaction is completed, and could cause third parties that deal with Steward Value-Based Care or us to seek to change existing business relationships, any of which could materially adversely impact our operations.
