Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements that we make from time to time, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to anticipated future events, future results of operations or future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “could,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” “goals,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “possible,” “potential,” “target,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, without limitation, statements reflecting management’s expectations for future financial performance and operating expenditures (including our ability to continue as a going concern, to raise additional capital and to succeed in our future operations), expected growth, profitability and business outlook, increased sales and marketing expenses, and the expected results from the integration of our acquisitions.

These factors include, among other things, the unknown risks and uncertainties that we believe could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements as set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021.March 14, 2022. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements, including without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to:

 our ability to manage our growth, including acquiring, partnering with, and effectively integrating acquired businesses into our infrastructure and avoiding legal exposure and liabilities associated with acquired companies and assets;
 our ability to retain our clients and revenue levels, including effectively migrating new clients and maintaining or growing the revenue levels of our new and existing clients;

 our ability to consistently achieve and maintain compliance with a myriad of federal, state, foreign, local, payor and industry requirements, regulations, rules, laws and contracts;
 our ability to maintain and protect the privacy of confidential and protected Company, client and patient information;
 our ability to develop new technologies, upgrade and adapt legacy and acquired technologies to work with evolving industry standards and third-party software platforms and technologies, and protect and enforce all of these and other intellectual property rights;
 our ability to attract and retain key officers and employees, and the continued involvement of Mahmud Haq as Executive Chairman and A. Hadi Chaudhry as Chief Executive Officer and President, all of which are critical to our ongoing operations, growing our business and integrating of our newly acquired businesses;
 our ability to comply with covenants contained in our credit agreement with our senior secured lender, Silicon Valley Bank and other future debt facilities;
 our ability to pay our monthly preferred dividends to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock;and Series B preferred stock;
 
our ability to compete with other companies developing products and selling services competitive with ours, and who may have greater resources and name recognition than we have;
 our ability to respond to the uncertainty resulting from the spread of theongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the impact it may have on our operations, the demand for our services, our projected results of operations, financial performance or other financial metrics or any of the foregoing risks and economic activity in general; and
 
our ability to keep and increase market acceptance of our products and services.services;
changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; and
other factors disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our other filings with the SEC.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office and temporary living space as well as for some office equipment. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liability and non-current operating lease liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020. Each time the Company acquires a business, the ROU assets and the lease liabilities are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition.2021. The Company does not have any finance leases.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

 

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, based onwhich are derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to our bank financing arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

 

Our lease terms typically include options to extend the lease. We considerlease when we believe that we may want the options in determining the ROU assets and lease liabilities.right to exercise that option. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. For real estate leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Some leases include escalation clauses and termination options that are factored in the determination of the lease payments when appropriate.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings — On April 4, 2017, Randolph Pain Relief and Wellness Center (“RPRWC”) filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration”) seeking to arbitrate claims against CareCloud, Inc. (“CareCloud”) and MTBC Acquisition Corp. (“MAC”). The claims relate solely to services provided by Millennium Practice Management Associates, Inc. (“MPMA”), a subsidiary of MediGain, LLC, pursuant to a billing services agreement that contains an arbitration provision. CareCloud and MAC jointly moved inMay 30, 2018, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Somerset County (the “Chancery Court”) denied CareCloud’s and MTBC Acquisition Corp.’s (“MAC’s”) request to enjoin an arbitration proceeding demanded by Randolph Pain Relief and Wellness Center (“RPRWC”) related to RCM services provided by parties unaffiliated with CareCloud or MAC. On June 15, 2018, CareCloud and MAC filed an appeal of the Arbitration onChancery Court’s decision with the groundsNew Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division. On July 19, 2018, the Chancery Court ordered that neitherthe arbitration be stayed pending CareCloud’s and MAC’s appeal. On appeal, CareCloud and MAC contended they were anever party to the billing services agreement.agreement giving rise to the arbitration claim, did not assume the obligations of Millennium Practice Management Associates, Inc. (“MPMA”) under such agreement, and any agreement to arbitrate disputes arising under such agreement did not apply to CareCloud or MAC as RPRWC terminated the agreement before the applicable asset purchase agreement took effect. On MayJanuary 30, 2018,2019, the Chancery Court denied that motion and CareCloud and MAC appealed. The Chancery Court orderedparties conducted oral arguments before the Arbitration stayed pending the appeal.Appellate Division.

 

On April 23, 2019, the Appellate Division affirmed in part and reversed in part the trial court’s order. The Appellate Division upheld the portion of the trial court’s order requiring MAC to participate in the arbitration based on the trial court’s finding that MAC had assumed MPMA’s contractual responsibilities. The Appellate Division reversed the Chancery Court’s rulingtrial court’s order requiring CareCloud to participate in the arbitration on the grounds that insufficient facts had been provided by RPRWC from which the court could conclude CareCloud was required to participate in the arbitration. As a result, the Appellate Division remanded the issue of whether Company is required to participate in the Arbitration and remandedarbitration back to the casetrial court for further proceedings before the Chancery Court on that issue. The Appellate Division upheld the Chancery Court’s ruling that MAC was required to participate in the Arbitration. proceedings.

The parties completed discovery in the remanded matter on November 29, 2019, and thereafter both CareCloud and RPRWC filed cross-motions for summary judgementjudgment in their favor. On February 6, 2020, the Chancery Court denied RPRWC’s motion for summary judgment and granted CareCloud’s motioncross-motion for summary judgment, holdingjudgment. The Chancery Court held that CareCloud cannot be compelled to participate in the Arbitration. RPRWC has informed CareCloud that it does not intend to appeal the Chancery Court’s ruling and that it intends to move forward solely against MAC in the Arbitration.MAC. On March 25, 2020, the Chancery Court lifted the stay of arbitration relative to RPRWC and MAC. In its arbitration demand, RPRWC alleges that MPMA, a subsidiary of MediGain, LLC, breached the terms of the billing services agreement the parties had entered into and sought compensatory damages of $6.6 million and costs.

 

Due to conflicting information provided by RPRWC, it is unclear what the extent of the claimed damages are in this matter which at this time appear to be entirely speculative. According to its arbitration demand, RPRWC seeks compensatory damages of $6.6 million, plus costs, for MPMA’s alleged breach of the billing services agreement.On June 12,May 28, 2020, in response to a directive from the arbitrator handling the matter conducted a scheduling conference with the parties in order to establish deadlines for the parties to exchange discovery requests and responses. During the conference, the arbitrator directed RPRWC to produce a statement of damages on which it bases its claim. RPRWC disclosed aits statement of damages to MAC in which iton June 12, 2020. RPRWC’s June 12, 2020 statement of damages increased its alleged damages from $6.6 million and costs to $20 million and costs. On July 24, 2020, RPRWC disclosed a declaration to MAC, in which RPRWC estimates its damages to be approximately $11 million plus costs. RPRWC then served expert reports in November 2021, whereby RPRWC’s expert alleged that damages were estimated to be in the range of $9.8 million to $10.8 million. MAC intendshas served an expert report refuting the alleged damages. A hearing was held in this matter over four days in June 2022. Testimony regarding alleged damages, and MAC’s defenses and refutation of the alleged damages thereto, was given at the hearing in line with the expert reports exchanged in discovery. Written closing arguments were submitted by both parties to the arbitrator in October 2022.

While the allegations of breach of contract made by RPRWC are the subject of the ongoing legal proceedings, MAC believes RPRWC’s allegations lack merit on numerous grounds. MAC continues to vigorously defend against RPRWC’s claims. If RPRWCclaim and is successful incurrently awaiting the Arbitration,arbitrator’s ruling. Based on RPRWC’s most recent calculation of its claimed damages, the possible loss arising from this matter may be between $0 to $10.8 million. However, since MAC is not a significant subsidiary of CareCloud pursuant to Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, and MAC anticipateCareCloud is not a party to this proceeding, we do not expect any outcome to have a material impact on the award would be substantially less than the amount claimed.Company’s consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, we may become involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Including the proceedingsproceeding described above, we are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

11. REVENUE

 

Introduction

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All revenue is recognized as our performance obligations are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under ASC 606. Under ASC 606,For revenue cycle management services, the Company breaks a contract into distinctly identifiable performance obligations. recognizes revenue when services begin on medical billing claims, which is generally upon receipt of the claim from the provider. The Company estimates the value of the consideration it will earn over the remaining contractual period as services are provided and recognizes the fees over the term; this estimation involves predicting the amounts our clients will ultimately collect associated with the services they provided. Certain significant estimates, such as payment-to-charge ratios, effective billing rates and the estimated contractual payment periods are required to measure revenue cycle management revenue under the standard.

Most of our current contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation. For contracts where we provide multiple services, such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, that are priced separately, each service represents its own performance obligation. SellingThe standalone selling prices are based on the contractual price for the service, which approximates their standalone selling price.

Many technology-enabled business solutions are invoiced based on receipt of payment by the practices which are our clients, for medical billing claims where the provider utilized our software or where we submitted a claim. For these solutions, the Company estimates the value of the consideration it will earn over the remaining contractual period as our services are provided and recognizes the fees over the term; this estimation involves predicting the amounts our clients will ultimately collect from the services they provided. The selling price of the Company’s services equals the contractual price. Certain significant estimates, such as payment-to-charge ratios, effective billing rates and the estimated contractual payment periods are required to measure revenue under ASC 606.service.

 

We apply the portfolio approach as permitted by ASC 606 as a practical expedient to contracts with similar characteristics and we use estimates and assumptions when accounting for those portfolios. Our contracts generally include standard commercial payment terms. We have no significant obligations for refunds, warranties or similar obligations and our revenue does not include taxes collected from our customers.

Technology-enabled business solutions:

Most ofRevenue derived on an on-going basis from our revenue comes from clients who are using subscription-based technology-enabled business solutions. These solutions is typically include one or more elements of our proprietary cloud-based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform, along with revenue cycle management and related services.

Practice management software automates the labor-intensive workflow of a medical office in a unified and streamlined manner. EHR software allows our healthcare provider clients to deliver better patient care, document their clinical visits effectively and to potentially qualify for government incentives, reduce documentation errors and reduce paperwork. Patient experience management software allows patients to schedule appointments, request refills, and view their electronic records online or via their mobile device. Business intelligence, robotic process automation, patient experience software, customized applications, interfaces and a variety of other technology solutions support our healthcare clients, either in conjunction with our practice management and EHR platform or through interfaces with third-party platforms. When these software elements are part of the technology-enabled business solution, they are normally included in a price, which is normally expressedbilled as a percentage of the practice’s collections.payments collected by our customers.

 

Revenue cycle management services are the recurring process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies in order for the healthcare providers to receive payment for the services they rendered. Approximately 78% of our revenue is derived from clients using one or more elements of our technology platform and approximately 22% comes from clients using our other services.

The Company typically invoices many customers on a monthly basis based on the actual collections received by its customers and the agreed-upon rate in the sales contract. The fee for these services typically includes use of practice management software and related tools (on a SaaS basis), electronic health records (on a SaaS basis), medical billing services and use of mobile health solutions. Alternatively, SaaS fees may be fixed based on the number of providers, or may be variable based on usage. We consider the services to be one performance obligation since the promises are not distinct in the context of the contract. The performance obligation consists of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers.

 

In many cases, our clients may terminate their agreements with 90 days’ notice without cause, thereby limiting the term in which we have enforceable rights and obligations, although this time period can vary between clients. Our payment terms are normally net 30 days. Although our contracts typically have stated terms of one or more years, under ASC 606 our contracts are considered month-to-month and accordingly, there is no financing component.

 

For the majority of our revenue cycle management contracts, the total transaction price is variable because our obligation is to process an unknown quantity of claims, as and when requested by our customers over the contract period. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimates to determine variable consideration, such as payment to charge ratios, effective billing rates, and the estimated contractual payment periods, are updated at each reporting date. Revenue is recognized over the performance period using the input method.

 

IncludedOur proprietary, cloud-based practice management application automates the labor-intensive workflow of a medical office in technology-enableda unified and streamlined SaaS platform. The Company has a large number of clients who utilize the Company’s practice management software, electronic health records software, patient experience management solutions, business solutions are ancillary services such as coding, credentialing and transcription that are rendered in connection withintelligence software and/or robotic process automation software on a SaaS basis, but who do not utilize the delivery ofCompany’s revenue cycle management and related services. The Company invoices customers monthly,SaaS fees may be fixed based on the actual amountnumber of services performed at the agreed upon rate in the contract. These services are only offered to revenue cycle management customers. These services do not represent a material right because the services are optional to the customer and customers electing these services are charged the same price for those services as if they were on a standalone basis. Each individual ancillary service transaction processed represents a performance obligation, which is satisfied over time as that individual service is rendered.providers, or may be variable.

19

 

Also included in technology-enabled business solutions areThe medical billing clearinghouse services thatservice takes claim information from customers, checks the claims for errors and sends this information electronically to insurance companies. The Company invoices customers on a monthly basis based on the number of claims submitted and the agreed-upon rate in the agreement. This service is provided to medical practices and providers to medical practices who are not revenue cycle management customers. The performance obligation is satisfied once the relevant submissions are completed.

 

21

Additional services such as coding, credentialing and transcription are sometimes rendered in connection with the delivery of revenue cycle management and related medical services. The Company invoices customers monthly, based on the actual amount of services performed at the agreed-upon rate in the contract. These services are only offered to revenue cycle management customers. These services do not represent a material right because the services are optional to the customer and customers electing these services are charged the same price for those services as if they were on a standalone basis. Each individual coding, credentialing or transcription transaction processed represents a performance obligation, which is satisfied over time as that individual service is rendered.

Professional services:

The Company provides implementation andOur professional services to certain customersinclude an extensive set of services including EHR vendor-agnostic optimization and records revenueactivation, project management, IT transformation consulting, process improvement, training, education and staffing for large healthcare organizations including health systems and hospitals. Revenue is recorded monthly on a time and materials or a fixed rate basis. These services consist of implementation, advisory and on demand staffing. This is a separate performance obligation from any revenue cycle management andRCM or SaaS services provided, for which the Company receives and records monthly fees. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as the professional services are rendered.

 

Substantially all of the professional services obligations consist of a series of distinct services that are substantially the samePrinting and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers. Revenue is recognized over time.

Other revenue streamsmailing services::

The Company provides printing and mailing services for both technology-enabled business solutionsrevenue cycle management customers and a non- revenue cycle management customer, that does not utilize our technology-enabled business solutions, and invoices on a monthly basis based on the number of prints, the agreed-upon rate per print and the postage incurred. The performance obligation is satisfied once the printing and mailing is completed.

 

Group purchasing services:

The Company also provides group purchasing services thatwhich enable medical providers to purchase various vaccines directly from selected pharmaceutical companies at a discounted price. Currently, there are approximately 4,000 medical providers who are members of the program. Revenue is recognized as the vaccine shipments are made to the medical providers. Fees from the pharmaceutical companies are paid either quarterly or annually and the Company adjusts its revenue accrual at the time of payment. The Company makes significant judgments regarding the variable consideration thatwhich we expect to be entitled to for the group purchasing services which includes the anticipated shipments to the members enrolled in the program, anticipated volumes of purchases made by the members, and the changes in the number of members. The amounts recorded are constrained by estimates of decreases in shipments and loss of members to avoid a significant revenue reversal in the subsequent period. The only performance obligation is to provide the pharmaceutical companies with the medical providers who want to become members in order to purchase vaccines. The performance obligation is satisfied once the medical provider agrees to purchase a specific quantity of vaccines and the medical provider’s information is forwarded to the vaccine suppliers. The Company records a contract asset for revenue earned and not paid as the ultimate payment is conditioned on achieving certain volume thresholds.

 

For all of the above revenue streams other than group purchasing services, and printing and mailing, revenue is recognized over time, which is typically one month or less, which closely matches the point in time that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. For the group purchasing services, revenue is recognized at a point in time. Each service is substantially the same and has the same periodic pattern of transfer to the customer. Each of the services provided above is considered a separate performance obligation.

Medical practice management services:

The Company also provides medical practice management services under long-term management service agreements to three medical practices. We provide the medical practices with the nurses, administrative support, facilities, supplies, equipment, marketing, RCM, accounting, and other non-clinical services needed to efficiently operate their practices. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided to the medical practices. Revenue recorded in the consolidated statements of operations represents the reimbursement of costs paid by the Company for the practices and the management fee earned each month for managing the practice. The management fee is based on either a fixed fee or a percentage of the net operating income.

 

20

The Company assumes all financial risk for the performance of the managed medical practices. Revenue is impacted by the amount of the costs incurred by the practices and their operating income. The gross billing of the practices is impacted by billing rates, changes in current procedural terminology code reimbursement and collection trends which in turn impacts the management fee that the Company is entitled to. Billing rates are reviewed at least annually and adjusted based on current insurer reimbursement practices. The performance obligation is satisfied as the management services are provided.

 

Our contracts for medical practice management services have approximately an additional 20 years remaining and are only cancellable under very limited circumstances. The Company receives a management fee each month for managing the day-to-day business operations of each medical group as a fixed fee or a percentage payment of the net operating income which is included in revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

22

 

Our medical practice management services obligations consist of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers. Revenue is recognized over time;time, however for reporting and convenience purposes, the management fee is computed at each month end.

 

Information about contract balances:

The contract assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the revenue associated with the amounts we estimate our clients will ultimately collect if our charges are based on a percentage of collections, together with amounts related to the group purchasing services. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to the remaining revenue cycle management performance obligations outstanding was approximately $4.13.9 million. We expect to recognize substantially all of the revenue for the remaining performance obligations over the next three months.months. Approximately $544,000500,000 of the contract asset represents revenue earned, but not yet paid, from the group purchasing services.

 

Accounts receivable are shown separately at their net realizable value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts that we are entitled to collect under the applicable contract are recorded as accounts receivable. Invoicing is performed at the end of each month when the services have been provided. The contract asset results from our revenue cycle management services and is due to the timing of revenue recognition, submission of claims from our customers and payments from the insurance providers. The contract asset includes our right to payment for services already transferred to a customer when the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. For example, contracts for revenue cycle management services where we recognize revenue over time but do not have a contractual right to payment until the customer receives payment of their claim from the insurance provider. The contract asset also includes the revenue accrued, not received, for the group purchasing services.

 

The contract asset was approximately $4.7 million and $4.1 million as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Changes in the contract asset are recorded as adjustments to net revenue. The changes primarily result from providing services to revenue cycle management customers that result in additional consideration and are offset by our right to payment for services becoming unconditional and changes in the revenue accrued for the group purchasing services. The contract asset for our group purchasing services is reduced when we receive payments from vaccine manufacturers and is increased for revenue earned, not received. Deferred revenue represents sign-up fees received from customers that are amortized over three years. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, contract asset and deferred revenue are as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:follows:

Deferred commissions:

Our sales incentive plans include commissions payable to employees and third parties at the time of initial contract execution that are capitalized as incremental costs to obtain a contract. The capitalized commissions are amortized over the period the related services are transferred. As we do not offer commissions on contract renewals, we have determined the amortization period to be the estimated client life, which is three years for contracts entered into by CCH.years. Deferred commissions were approximately $922,000692,000 and $870,000922,000 at September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and are included in the other assets amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Common and preferred stock RSUs

 

In January 2021,February 2022, the Compensation Committee approved executive bonuses to be paid in shares of Series B Preferred Stock, with the number of shares and the amount based on specified criteria being achieved during the year 2021.2022. The actual amount of shares will be settled in early 20222023 based on the achievement of the specified criteria.

13. INCOME TAXES

The income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $55,000 comprised of a current tax expense of $20,000 and a deferred tax expense of $35,000. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $144,000 comprised of a current tax expense of $82,000 and a deferred tax expense of $62,000.

 

The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $232,000, comprised of a current tax benefit of $245,000and a deferred tax expense of $13,000. The Company filed a carryback claim for approximately $285,000with the Internal Revenue Service to recover taxes previously paid by Meridian prior to its acquisition of Meridian. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $20,000, comprised of a current tax benefit of $160,000and a deferred tax expense of $140,000. The deferred tax expense is not anticipated to result in a cash payment. The carryback claim receivable is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2021.

 

WithDuring the exception ofquarter ended June 30, 2022, it was determined that for the carryback claimstates that follow the federal rules regarding indefinite life net operating losses, the offset to the state deferred tax liability was approximately $45,000. This amount was recorded as a deferred tax benefit mentioned above,during the second quarter of 2022.

The current income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 primarily relates to state minimum taxes and foreign income taxes. The deferred tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 relates to the book and tax difference of amortization on indefinite-lived intangibles, primarily goodwill. To the extent allowable, the federal deferred tax provision has been offset by the indefinite life net operating loss.

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. Several new corporate tax provisions were included in the CARES Act, including, but not limited to, the following: increasing the limitation threshold for determining deductible interest expense, class life changes to qualified improvements (in general - from 39 years to 15 years) years), and the ability to carry back net operating losses incurred from tax years 2018 through 2020 up to the five preceding tax years. years. The Company has evaluated the income tax provisions of the CARES Act and determined the impact to be either immaterial or not applicable. Under the CARES Act, the Company took advantage of the payroll tax deferral provision. As of both September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company has deferred approximately $1.9934,000 million of payroll taxes. Of thisThis amount one-half needs to be repaid by December 31, 2021 and the balance by December 31, 2022.

The Company has incurred cumulative losses, which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the Federalfederal and state deferred tax assets as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market participant assumptions in the absence of observable market information. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair values of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgement associated with the inputs used to measure their value in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We held no Level 1 financial instruments at September 30, 20212022 or December 31, 2020.2021.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets with inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Our Level 2 financial instruments include notes payable which are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged approximate market rates.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Our Level 3 instrument includes the fair value of contingent consideration related to completed acquisitions. The fair value at SeptemberGiven that the earn-out period concludes on November 30, 2020 is based on a discounted cash flow analysis reflecting2022, the likelihoodCompany determined its best estimate of achieving specified performance measure or events and captures the contractual nature of the contingencies, the passage of time and the associated discount rate.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman jointly serve as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), organize the Company, manage resource allocations and measure performance among 2two operating and reportable segments: (i) Healthcare IT and (ii) Medical Practice Management.

 

The Healthcare IT segment includes revenue cycle management, SaaS solutions and other services. The Medical Practice Management segment includes the management of three medical practices. Each segment is considered a reporting unit. The CODM evaluates financial performance of the business units on the basis of revenue and direct operating costs excluding unallocated amounts that are mainly corporate overhead costs. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021.March 14, 2022. The following tables presenttable presents revenues, operating expenses and operating income (loss) income by reportable segment:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following is a discussion of our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, and other factors that are expected to affect our prospective financial condition. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes beginning on page 4 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022.

 

Some of the statements set forth in this section are forward-looking statements relating to our future results of operations. Our actual results may vary from the results anticipated by these statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, SARS-CoV-2, and the resulting disease COVID-19, has spread to most countries, and all 50 states within the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Further, the former President of the United States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency, invoking powers under the Stafford Act, the legislation that directs federal emergency disaster response, and under the Defense Production Act, the legislation that facilitates the production of goods and services necessary for national security and for other purposes. Numerous governmental jurisdictions, including the State of New Jersey where we maintain our principal executive offices, and those in which many of our U.S. and international offices are based, have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Most states and the federal government, including the State of New Jersey, together with foreign jurisdictions in which we have operations centers, had declared a state of emergency related to the spread of COVID-19.

While the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial results and operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, economic and health conditions in the United States and across most of the globe continue to change. The Company expanded its telehealth operations, which is an alternative to office visits. However, not all physicians are using telehealth and not to the same extent as previous office visits.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is affectingaffected the Company’s operations in 2021 and may continue to do so indefinitely thereafter.in the future. The pandemic may have an impact on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including, without limitation, impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, its operations, marketing and sales activities, and on the overall economy. The spread of the virus did not adversely affect the health and availability of our employees and staff. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and the outcomes are uncertain.

 

Due to the above circumstances and as described generally in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are2022 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Company is not aware of any certain event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgements or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates could change in the future as new information about future developments is obtained. Management cannot predict the fullfuture impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s consolidated operations nor on economic conditions generally, including the effects on patient visits. The ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company is highly uncertain and will depend on highly unpredictable factors such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the severity of the disease, the duration of outbreak, and the effectiveness of any further developments globally and nationally. The Company will actively monitor the situation and take further action that is in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners, and stockholders.

Overview

 

CareCloud, Inc. (“CareCloud” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us” and/or “our”)The Company is a healthcare information technology company that provides a full suite of proprietary cloud-basedSoftware-as-a-Service offerings (“SaaS”) and technology-enabled business solutions, which are often bundled, but are occasionally provided individually, together with related business services to healthcare providers and hospitals throughout the United States. Our Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”)integrated SaaS platform includes revenue cycle management (“RCM”), practice management (“PM”), electronic health record (“EHR”), business intelligence, telehealth, patient experience management (“PXM”) solutions and complementary software tools and business services for high-performance medical groups and health systems.

 

At a high level, these solutions can be categorized as follows:

 

Technology-enabled business solutions, which are often bundled but are occasionally provided individually, including:

EHRs, which are easy to use, integrated with our business services or offered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions, and allow our healthcare provider clients to deliver better patient care, document their clinical visits effectively and thus potentially qualify for government incentives, reduce documentation errors and reduce paperwork;
PM software and related tools, which support our clients’ day-to-day business operations and workflows;
Mobile Health (“mHealth”) solutions, including smartphone applications that assist patients and healthcare providers in the provision of healthcare services;
Telehealth solutions, which allow healthcare providers to conduct remote patient visits;
Chronic care management, which provides regular remote visits with patients with chronic conditions;
Healthcare claims clearinghouse, which enables our clients to electronically scrub and submit claims to, and process payments from, insurance companies;
Business intelligence, customized applications, interfaces and a variety of other technology solutions that support our healthcare clients; and
RCM services, which include end-to-end medical billing, eligibility, analytics, and related services, all of which can often be provided either with our technology platform or through a third-party system.system; and
Professional services consisting of application and advisory services, revenue cycle services, data analytic services and educational training services.

Medical practice management services are provided to medical practices. In this service model, we provide the medical practice with appropriate facilities, equipment, supplies, support services, nurses and administrative support staff. We also provide management, bill-paying and financial advisory services.

 

Our solutions enable clients to increase financial and operational performance, streamline clinical workflows, get better insight through data, and make better business and clinical decisions, resulting in improvement in patient care and collections while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs.

 

The modernization of the healthcare industry is transforming nearly every aspect of a healthcare organization from policy to providers, clinical care to member services, devices to data, and ultimately the quality of the patient’s experience as a healthcare consumer. We create elegant, user-friendly applications that solve many of the challenges facing healthcare organizations. We partner with organizations to develop customized, best-in-class solutions to solve their specific challenges while ensuring they also meet future regulatory and organizational requirements and market demands.

 

We are able to deliver our industry-leading solutions at very competitive prices because we leverage a combination of our proprietary software, which automates our workflows and increases efficiency, together with our team of approximately 700 500 experienced health industry experts throughout the United States. These experts are supported by our highly educated and specialized offshore workforce of approximately 3,4003,700 team members at labor costs that we believe are approximately one-tenth the cost of comparable U.S. employees. Our unique business model also allowed us to become a leading consolidator in our industry sector, gaining us a reputation for acquiring and positively transforming distressed competitors into profitable operations of CareCloud.

 

27

Adoption of our technology-enabled business solutions typically requires little or no upfront expenditure by a client. Additionally, for most of our solutions and customers, our financial performance is linked directly to the financial performance of our clients, as the vast majority of our revenues are based on a percentage of our clients’ collections. The fees we charge for our complete, integrated, end-to-end solution are very competitive and among the lowest in the industry. We estimate that we currently provide services to more thanapproximately 40,000 providers, (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services) practicing in approximately 2,600 independent medical practices and hospitals representing 80 specialties and subspecialties in 50 states. In addition, we serve approximately 200 clients that are not medical practices, but are primarily service organizations who serve the healthcare community. The foregoing numbers include clients leveraging any of our products or services, and are based, in part, upon estimates where the precise number of practices or providers is unknown.

29

 

We service clients ranging from small practices, consisting of one to ten providers, to large practices with over 2,300 providers operating in multiple states, to community hospitals.

 

On January 8, 2020, through a merger with a subsidiary, the Company acquired CareCloud Corporation, a Delaware corporation which was subsequently renamed CareCloud Health, Inc. (“CCH”), which has developed a highly acclaimed cloud-based platform including EHR, PM and patient experience capabilities. The Company paid $11.9 million in cash, assumed a working capital deficiency of approximately $5.1 million and issued 760,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and two million warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at prices of $7.50 for two years and $10.00 per share for three years.

 

On June 16, 2020, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Meridian Billing Management Co. and its affiliate Origin Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “Meridian,” and sometimes referred to as “Meridian Medical Management”), a former GE Healthcare IT company that delivers advanced healthcare information technology solutions and services. The Company paid $11.9 million in cash, issued 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 2,250,000 of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price per share of $7.50 for two years and assumed Meridian’s negative working capital and certain long-term lease liabilities where the space is either not being utilized or will be vacated shortly, with an aggregate value of approximately $4.8 million.

 

On June 1, 2021, CareCloud Acquisition Corp (“CAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MedMatica Consulting Associates, Inc., (“MedMatica”) whereby CAC purchased the assets of MedMatica and the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary Santa Rosa Staffing, Inc. (“SRS”). MedMatica and SRS provide a broad range of specialty consulting services to hospitals and large healthcare groups, including certain consulting services related to healthcare IT applications services and implementations, practice management, and revenue cycle management. The total consideration paid at closing was $10 million in cash, net of $1.5 million of escrow withheld. A working capital adjustment of approximately $3.8 million was also paid at closing. The Purchase Agreement provides that if during the 18-month period commencing on June 1, 2021 (“the “Earn-Out Period”), CAC’s EBITDA and revenue targets are achieved, then CAC shall pay an earn-out up to a maximum of $8 million (the “Base Earn-Out”). If during the Earn-Out Period, CAC’s additional and increased EBITDA and revenue targets are achieved, then CAC shall pay an additional earn-out, up to a maximum of $5 million (the “Additional Earn-Out”, collectively, with the Base Earn-Out, the “Earn-Out”). CAC will have the right to offset the Earn-Out against any claim for which CAC is entitled to indemnification under the Purchase Agreement and against damages for breaches by the seller of the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Our offshore operations in the Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka accounted for approximately 11%12% and 10%11% of total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. A significant portion of those foreign expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 80% for both the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020)2021). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan and Sri Lanka than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our offshore operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry participants. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions and leverage technology to reduce manual work and strategically transition a portion of the remaining manual tasks to our highly-specialized, cost-efficient team in the U.S., the Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka.

Key Performance Measures

 

We consider numerous factors in assessing our performance. Key performance measures used by management, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, are non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results from period to period.

30
��

 

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, and we provide reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share provide an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that an investor’s understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these adjusted performance measures.

 

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following elements which are included in GAAP net income (loss):

 

Income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
Interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on principal payments, on our debt;
Foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenditures;
Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards and the related taxes, based on changes in the stock price;
Depreciation and amortization charges;
Integration costs, such as severance amounts paid to employees from acquired businesses, and transaction costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees and exit costs related to contractual agreements; and
LossNet loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges.charges; and
Change in contingent consideration.

For purposes of determining non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share, the Company used the number of common shares outstanding at the end of September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was computed using an as-converted method and includes warrants that are in-the-money as of that date as well as outstanding unvested RSUs. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share do not take into account dividends paid on Preferred Stock. No tax effect has been provided in computing non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share as the Company has sufficient carry forward net operating losses to offset the applicable income taxes.

 

Key Metrics

In addition to the line items in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we regularly review the following metrics. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends in our business.

 

33

Providers and Practices Served: As of both September 30, 2022 and 2021, we provided services to an estimated universe of more thanapproximately 40,000 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 2,600 independent medical practices and hospitals. In addition, we served approximately 200 clients who were not medical practices, but are service organizations who serve the healthcare community. The foregoing numbers include clients leveraging any of our products or services and are based in part upon estimates in cases where the precise number of practices or providers is unknown.

 

31

Sources of Revenue

 

Revenue: We primarily derive our revenues from subscription-based technology-enabled business solutions, reported in our Healthcare IT segment, which are typically billed as a percentage of payments collected by our customers. This fee includes RCM, as well as the ability to use our EHR, practice management system and other software as part of the bundled fee. These solutions accounted for approximately 71%64% and 86%71% of our revenues during the three months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and 78%64% and 84%78% for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. Other Healthcarehealthcare IT services, including printing and mailing operations, group purchasing and professional services, represented approximately 20%25% and 4%20% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and 13%26% and 4%13% for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.

We earned approximately 9%11% and 11%9% of our revenue from medical practice management services during the three months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and 9%10% and 12%9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.respectively. This revenue represents fees based on our actual costs plus a percentage of the operating profit and is reported in our Medical Practice Management segment.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating cost consists primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our customers, claims processing costs, costs to operate the three managed practices, including facility lease costs, supplies, insurance and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, commissions, travel and advertising expenses.

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, facility lease costs and insurance, software license fees and outside professional fees.

 

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, software expense and third-party contractor costs.

 

Contingent Consideration. Contingent consideration represents the portion of consideration payable to the sellers of some of our acquisitions, the amount of which is based on the achievement of defined performance measures contained in the purchase agreements. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation expense is charged using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Amortization expense is charged on either an accelerated or on a straight-line basis over a period of three or four years for most intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions including those intangibles related to the group purchasing services. Amortization expense related to the value of our medical practice management clients is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of twelve years.

 

34

Net Loss on lease termination,Lease Termination, Impairment and Unoccupied Lease Charges. LossNet loss on lease termination represents the write-off of leasehold improvements and gains or losses as the result of an early lease termination.terminations. Impairment charges represent charges recorded for a leased facility no longer being used by the Company and a non-cancellable vendor contract where the services are no longer being used. Unoccupied lease charges represent the portion of lease and related costs for vacant space not being utilized by the Company. The Company is marketing both the unused facility and the unused space for sub-lease.

32

 

Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our line of credit, term loans and amounts due in connection with acquisitions, offset by interest income. Other income (expense) results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains (losses) and income earned from temporary cash investments.

 

Income Tax. In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred losses historically and there is uncertainty regarding future U.S. taxable income, which makes realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Report are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

 

Leases:

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liability (current portion) and operating lease liability (noncurrent portion) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. The Company does not have any finance leases.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

 

We use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, which are derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to bank financing arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

 

Our lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. For real estate leases, we account for the leased and non-leased components as a single lease component. Some leases include escalation clauses and termination options that are factored into the determination of the future lease payments when appropriate.

 

Capitalized software costsSoftware Costs:

All of our software is considered internal use for accounting purposes, as we do not market or sell our software. As a result, we capitalize certain costs associated with the creation of internally-developed software for internal use. The total of these costs is recorded in Intangible assets - net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

We capitalized costs incurred during the application development stage related to our internal use software. Costs incurred during the application development phase are capitalized only when we believe it is probable that the development will result in new or additional functionality. The types of costs capitalized during the application development phase consist of employee compensation, employee benefits and employee stock- basedstock-based compensation. Costs related to the preliminary project stage and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life when the asset has been placed in service for general availability.

35

 

Significant judgments related to internally-developed software include determining whether it is probable that projects will result in new or additional functionality; concluding on when the application development phase starts and ends; and deciding which costs, especially employee compensation costs, should be capitalized. Additionally, there is judgment applied to the useful lives of capitalized software; we have concluded that the useful lives for capitalized internally-developed software is three years.

 

33

Company management employs its best estimates and assumptions in determining the appropriateness of the judgments noted above on a project-by-project basis during initial capitalization as well as subsequent measurement. While we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments is reasonable, actual results could differ, and such differences could lead to an increase or decrease in expense.

 

As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the carrying amounts of internally-developed capitalized software in use was $9.8 $15.5 million and $5.5$11.6 million, respectively. The increase in the capitalized software costs represents the continued investment in proprietary technology.

 

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021.March 14, 2022.
