U.S. PHYSICAL THERAPY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) operates its business through
two
reportable business segments.
Our physical therapy operations consist of physical therapy and occupational therapy clinics that provide pre- and post-operative care and treatment for a variety of orthopedic-related disorders, and sports-related injuries, and rehabilitation of injured workers. Services provided by the industrial injury prevention services (“IIP”) segment include onsite services for clients’ employees including injury prevention and rehabilitation, performance optimization, post-offer employment testing, functional capacity evaluations and ergonomic assessments. The majority of IIP is contracted with and paid for directly by employers, including a number of Fortune 500 companies. IIP services are performed through Industrial Sports Medicine Professionals with specialized training related to the musculoskeletal system.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company operated and/or managed
736
clinics in
44
states. In addition to the foregoing
736
clinics, the Company also managed
37
hospital and/or physician owned physical therapy practices.
D
uring the three months ended March 31, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisitions of the following clinic practices

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. However, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Management believes this report contains all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 3, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company expects for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Reporting
Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by chief operating decision makers in determining the allocation of resources and in assessing performance. The Company currently operates through
two
segments: physical therapy operations and IIP.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management makes certain estimates and assumptions, especially in relation to, but not limited to, goodwill impairment, tradenames and other intangible assets, allocations of purchase price, allowance for receivables, tax provision and contractual allowances, that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the amount paid and fair value of the non-controlling interests over the fair value of the acquired business assets, which include certain identifiable intangible assets. Historically, goodwill has been derived from acquisitions and, prior to 2009, from the purchase of some or all of a particular local management’s equity interest in an existing clinic. Effective January 1, 2009, if the purchase price of a non-controlling interest, permanent equity by the Company exceeds or is less than the book value at the time of purchase, any excess or shortfall is recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are instead subject to periodic impairment evaluations. The fair value of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are evaluated for impairment at least annually and upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or conditions and are written down to fair value, if considered impaired. These events or conditions include but are not limited to a significant adverse change in the business environment, regulatory environment, or legal factors; a current period operating, or cash flow, combined with a history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence of one of these triggering events or conditions could result in an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge. The
Company evaluates indefinite-lived tradenames in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment test.
The reporting
units within the Company’s physical therapy business are comprised of
six
regions primarily based on each clinic’s location. The IIP business consists of
two
reporting units.
As part of the impairment analysis, the Company is first required to assess qualitatively if it can conclude whether goodwill is more likely than not impaired. If goodwill is more likely than not impaired, it is then required to complete a quantitative analysis of whether a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company considers relevant events or circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of a reporting unit. The Company considers both the income and market approach in determining the fair value of its reporting units when performing a quantitative analysis. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the net assets of a reporting unit, inclusive of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2025, no triggering events or indicators were identified that would require impairments of assets for such period. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $
2.4
million related to assets held for sale (described in
Note 5
,
Assets Held for Sale
), of which $
1.6
million was attributed to referral relationships, $
0.5
million was attributed to tradename and $
0.3
million was attributed to other assets, during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company will continue to monitor for any triggering events or other indicators of impairment.

Table of Contents
Variable interest entities
A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or is structured such that its equity holders do not have power over the activities of the entity; have voting rights, as a group, that are not proportionate to their economic interests; or are not exposed to the residual losses or benefits of the entity.
At the inception of a contractual agreement, the Company determines whether it holds a variable interest in a legal entity that is a VIE and whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company concludes it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates the accounts of that VIE. The Company regularly reviews and reconsiders previous conclusions regarding whether the Company holds a variable interest in a potential VIE, the status of an entity as a VIE, and whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Investment in unconsolidated affiliate
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, in which the Company has less than a controlling interest, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, accordingly, are adjusted for capital contributions, distributions and the Company’s equity in net earnings or loss of the respective joint venture.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
The non-controlling interest that is reflected as redeemable non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements consists of those in which the owners and the Company have certain redemption rights, whether currently exercisable or not, and which currently, or in the future, require that the Company purchase or the owner sell the non-controlling interest held by the owner, if certain conditions are met. The purchase price is derived via a predetermined formula based on a multiple of earnings performance as defined in the respective limited partnership agreements. Most of these redemption rights can be triggered by the owner or the Company at such time as both of the following events have occurred: 1) termination of the owner’s employment, regardless of the reason for such termination, and 2) the passage of specified number of years after the closing of the transaction, typically
three
to
five years
, as defined in the limited partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable. Other redemption rights can be triggered by the owner after the passage of a certain period of time. The redemption rights are not automatic or mandatory (even upon death) and require either the owner or the Company to exercise its rights when the conditions triggering the redemption rights have been satisfied.
On the date the Company acquires a controlling interest in a partnership, and the limited partnership agreement for such partnership contains redemption rights not under the control of the Company, the fair value of the non-controlling interest is recorded in the consolidated balance sheet under the caption—Redeemable non-controlling interest – temporary equity. Then, in each reporting period thereafter until it is purchased by the Company, the redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted to the greater of its then current redemption value or initial carrying value, based on the predetermined formula defined in the respective limited partnership agreement. As a result, the value of the non-controlling interest is not adjusted below its initial carrying value. The Company records any adjustment in the redemption value, net of tax, directly to retained earnings and these adjustments are not reflected in the consolidated statements of net income. Although the adjustments are not reflected in the consolidated statements of net income, current accounting rules require that the Company reflects the adjustments, net of tax, in the earnings per share calculation. The amount of net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest owners is included in consolidated net income on the face of the consolidated statements of net income. Management believes the redemption value (i.e. the carrying amount) and fair value are the same.

Table of Contents
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company recognizes non-controlling interest, in which the Company has no obligation but the right to purchase the non-controlling interest, as permanent equity in the unaudited consolidated financial statements separate from the parent entity’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to non-controlling interest is included in the consolidated net income on the face of the unaudited consolidated statements of net income. Changes in a parent entity’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are treated as equity transactions if the parent entity retains its controlling financial interest. The Company recognizes a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss is measured using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment on the deconsolidation date.
When the purchase price of a non-controlling interest by the Company exceeds the book value at the time of purchase, any excess or shortfall is recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, operating losses are allocated to non-controlling interests even when such allocation creates a deficit balance for the non-controlling interest partner.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold an interest of
3.0
% in a partnership which is included in non-controlling interest, permanent equity, for an aggregate price of less than $
0.1
million. During the year ended, December 31, 2024, the Company acquired additional interests in partnerships which are included in non-controlling interests - permanent equity. The additional interests purchased in each of the partnerships ranged from
0.1
% to
35.0
%. The aggregated purchase price for acquired non-controlling interests – permanent equity was $
0.8
million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company also sold interests in
six
partnerships for an aggregate price of $
0.3
million. The non-controlling interests - permanent equity sold in each of the partnerships ranged from
0.15
% to
10.0
%.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. For ASC 606, there is an implied contract between the Company and the patient upon each patient visit. Separate contractual arrangements exist between the Company and third-party payors (e.g. insurers, managed care programs, government programs, workers’ compensation) which establish the amounts the third parties pay on behalf of the patients for covered services rendered. While these agreements are not considered contracts with the customer, they are used for determining the transaction price for services provided to the patients covered by the third-party payors. The payor contracts do not indicate performance obligations for the Company but indicate reimbursement rates for patients who are covered by those payors when the services are provided. At that time, the Company is obligated to provide services for the reimbursement rates stipulated in the payor contracts. The execution of the contract alone does not indicate a performance obligation. For self-paying customers, the performance obligation exists when the Company provides the services at established rates. The difference between the Company’s established rate and the anticipated reimbursement rate is accounted for as an offset to revenue—contractual allowance. Payments for services rendered are typically due
30
to
120 days
after receipt of the invoice.
Patient Revenue
Net patient revenue consists of revenues for physical therapy and occupational therapy clinics that provide pre- and post-operative care and treatment for orthopedic related disorders, sports-related injuries, preventative care, rehabilitation of injured workers and neurological-related injuries. Net patient revenue (patient revenue less estimated contractual adjustments – as described below) is recognized at the estimated net realizable amounts from third-party payors, patients and others in exchange for services rendered when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied. There is an implied contract between us and the patient upon each patient visit. Generally, this occurs as the Company provides physical and occupational therapy services, as each service provided is distinct and future services rendered are not dependent on previously rendered services. The Company has agreements with third-party payors that provide payments to the Company at amounts different from its established rates.
Other Revenue
Revenue from the IIP business, which is included in other revenue in the consolidated statements of net income, is derived from onsite services the Company provides to clients’ employees including injury prevention, rehabilitation, ergonomic assessments, post-offer employment testing and performance optimization. Revenue from the Company’s IIP business is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied. Revenues are recognized at an amount equal to the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for providing injury prevention services to its clients. The revenue is determined and recognized based on the number of hours and respective rate for services provided in a given period.
11
Table of Contents
Management contract revenue, which is also included in other revenue, is derived from contractual arrangements whereby the Company manages a clinic for
unrelated physician groups and hospitals
. Typically, revenue is determined based on the number of visits conducted at the clinic and recognized at a point in time when services are performed. Costs, typically consisting of salaries
,
are recorded when incurred. Management contract revenue was $
2.5
million and $
2.4
million for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024
, respectively.
Additionally, other revenue from physical therapy operations includes services the Company provides on-site at locations such as schools and industrial worksites for physical or occupational therapy services, athletic trainers for schools and gym membership fees. Contract terms and rates are agreed to in advance between the Company and the third parties. Services are typically performed over the contract period and revenue is recorded at the point of service. If the services are paid in advance, revenue is recorded as a contract liability over the period of the agreement and recognized at the point in time when the services are performed.
Contractual Allowances
The allowance for estimated contractual adjustments is based on terms of payor contracts and historical collection and write-off experience. Contractual allowances result from the differences between the rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by both insurance companies and government sponsored healthcare programs for such services. Medicare regulations and the various third-party payors and managed care contracts are often complex and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms payable for the services provided in Company clinics. The Company estimates contractual allowances based on its interpretation of the applicable regulations, payor contracts and historical calculations. Each month the Company estimates its contractual allowance for each clinic based on payor contracts and the historical collection experience of the clinic and applies an appropriate contractual allowance reserve percentage to the gross accounts receivable balances for each payor of the clinic. Based on the Company’s historical experience, calculating the contractual allowance reserve percentage at the payor level is sufficient to allow the Company to provide the necessary detail and accuracy with its collectability estimates. However, the services authorized, provided and related reimbursement are subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Payor terms are periodically revised necessitating continual review and assessment of the estimates made by management. The Company’s billing system does not capture the exact change in its contractual allowance reserve estimate from period to period. In order to assess the accuracy of its revenues, management regularly compares its cash collections to corresponding net revenues measured both in the aggregate and on a clinic-by-clinic basis. In the aggregate, historically the difference between net revenues and corresponding cash collections for any fiscal year has generally reflected a difference between approximately
1.0
% to
1.5
% of net revenues. As a result, the Company believes that a change in the contractual allowance reserve estimate would not likely be more than
1.0
% to
1.5
% on any balance sheet date.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company determines allowances for credit losses based on the specific agings and payor classifications at each clinic. The provision for credit losses is included in operating costs in the consolidated statements of net income. Patient accounts receivable, which are stated at the historical carrying amount net of contractual allowances, write-offs, and allowance for credit losses, includes only those amounts the Company estimates to be collectible.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
12
Table of Contents
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company did
no
t have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits
no
r was any interest expense recognized during either the three months ended March 31, 2025, or March 31, 2024. The Company records any interest or penalties, if required, in interest and other expense, as appropriate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
●
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●
Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
●
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, certain contingent earn-out payments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of the debt under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (defined as “Credit Agreement” in Note 9) approximates the fair value due to the proximity of the debt issue date and the balance sheet date and the variable component of interest on debt. The interest rate on the Credit Agreement is tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR
”) or the rate of interest in effect as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its prime rate
.
The put right expiring in 2027 is associated with the potential future purchase of a separate company within the Company’s IIP business. It is marked to fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. In determining the value of the put right as of March 31
, 2025
, the Company used
a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing unobservable inputs including asset volatility of
20.0
% and a discount rate of
11.27
%. The value of this put right increased $
0.4
million for the three months ended
March 31
, 2025
. The put right was valued at approximately $
1.4
million on March 31, 2025, and approximately $
1.0
million on December 31, 2024.
The valuation of the Company’s interest rate derivative is measured as the present value of all expected future cash flows based on SOFR-based yield curves. The present value calculation uses discount rates that have been adjusted to reflect the credit quality of the Company and its counterparty, which is a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 10 for more information on the Company’s interest rate derivative.
The redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interests approximates the fair value. See Note 4 for the changes in the fair value of Redeemable non-controlling interest.
The consideration for some of the Company’s acquisitions includes future payments that are contingent upon the occurrence of future operational or financial objectives being met. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration obligations through valuation models designed to estimate the probability of such contingent payments based on various assumptions and incorporating estimated success rates. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market.
Substantial judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Accordingly, changes in assumptions could have a material impact on the
amount of contingent consideration expense the Company records
in any given period. The Company determined the fair value of its contingent consideration obligations to be $
14.0
million on March 31, 2025, and $
17.6
million on December 31, 2024.

Restricted Stock
Restricted stock issued to employees and directors is subject to continued employment or continued service on the board, respectively. Generally, restrictions on the stock granted to employees lapse in equal annual installments on the following
four
anniversaries of the date of grant. For those shares granted to directors, the restrictions will lapse in equal quarterly installments during the
first
year after the date of grant. For those granted to officers and certain other key employees, the restriction will lapse in equal quarterly installments during the
four years
following the date of grant. Compensation expense for grants of restricted stock is recognized based on the fair value per share on the date of grant amortized over the vesting period. The Company recognizes any forfeitures as they occur. The restricted stock issued is included in basic and diluted shares for the earnings per share computation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure on an annual basis, a tabular reconciliation, including both amount and percentage of specific categories of the effective tax rate reconciliation, including state and local income taxes (net of Federal taxes), foreign taxes, effects of changes in tax laws and regulations, effects of cross-border tax laws, tax credits, changes in valuation allowances, nontaxable and nondeductible items and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. Additional disclosures are required for certain items exceeding five percent of income from continuing operations multiplied by the statutory income tax rate. The standard also requires disclosure of income taxes paid between Federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, including further disaggregation of those payments exceeding five percent of the total income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025, and there was no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)
, which is intended to improve the disclosures of expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU requires entities to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption; as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The amendment also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expense and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027; however early adoption is permitted. The ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
2. Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share for common shares and participating securities. The restricted stock the Company grants are participating securities containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends. Accordingly, any unvested shares of restricted stock is included in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation. Additionally, in accordance with current accounting guidance, the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest (see Note 4 Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest), net of tax, charged directly to retained earnings is included in the earnings per basic and diluted share calculation.

3. Acquisitions of Businesses
The Company’s strategy is to continue acquiring outpatient physical therapy practices, to develop outpatient physical therapy clinics as satellites in existing partnerships and to continue acquiring companies that provide and serve the IIP sector. The consideration paid for each acquisition is derived through arm’s length negotiations and funded through working capital or borrowings under the Company’s revolving facility.
The purchase price plus the fair value of the non-controlling interest for the acquisitions after March 31, 2024 were allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired, inclusive of identifiable intangible assets (i.e. tradenames, referral relationships and non-compete agreements) and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the amount in excess of fair values being recorded as goodwill. The Company is in the process of completing its formal valuation analysis of the above-mentioned acquisitions in order to identify and determine the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Thus, the final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary estimates used on March 31, 2025, based on additional information obtained and completion of the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets. Changes in the estimated valuation of the tangible assets acquired, the completion of the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and the completion by the Company of the identification of any unrecorded pre-acquisition contingencies, where the liability is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, will likely result in adjustments to goodwill. The Company does not expect the adjustments to be material. The Company continues to evaluate the components for the purchase price allocations for
subsequent
acquisitions in 2024 and 2025.
The results of operations of the acquisitions below have been included in the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements from their respective date of acquisition.
Unaudited proforma consolidated financial information for the acquisitions has not been included, as the results, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to current operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company acquired a majority interest in the following businesses:

Variable Interest Entities
Certain states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which restricts the Company from owning physical therapy practices which directly employ therapists and from exercising control over medical decisions by therapists. In these states, the Company enters into long-term management agreements with medical practices that are owned by licensed therapists, which, in turn, employ or contract with therapists who provide professional services.
Based on the provisions of the management agreements, the Company determined that these entities are variable interest entities. The Company’s ownership percentages in these entities is 50% as of March 31, 2025. The Company consolidates the VIEs since it controls the management and operating activities that are most significant to the VIEs’ economic performance and its ownership interests expose the Company to the risks and benefits that could potentially be significant to each VIE.
The assets of the VIEs recognized in consolidation may only be used to settle obligations of each respective VIE and may not be used to satisfy claims of the Company, and the creditors of each VIE do not have recourse to the Company’s general credit. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total assets of the Company’s variable interest entities were $
232.1
million and $
231.3
million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total liabilities of the Company’s VIEs were $
31.4
million and $
31.9
million respectively.

4. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
In most of the Company’s acquired partnerships, the former practice owner retains an equity interest in our subsidiary which the Company is required to purchase upon the exercise of either the put right or the call right. The applicable purchase price is calculated per the terms of the respective agreements and classified as redeemable non-controlling interest (temporary equity) in our consolidated balance sheets. The terms and conditions regarding repurchase rights and obligations for most of the redeemable con-controlling interests, are summarized below under “Physical Therapy Practice Acquisitions”. However, the Company has an agreement that provides for different rights and obligations regarding the particular redeemable non-controlling interests involved in that agreement – described below under “ProgressiveHealth Acquisition”.
Physical Therapy Practice Acquisitions
When the Company acquires a majority interest (the “Acquisition”) in a physical therapy clinic (referred to as “Therapy Practice”), these Therapy Practice transactions typically occur in a series of steps which are described below.
1.
Prior to the Acquisition, the Therapy Practice exists as a separate legal entity (the “Seller Entity”). The Seller Entity is owned by one or more individuals (the “Selling Shareholders”) most of whom are physical therapists that work in the Acquired Therapy Practice and provide physical therapy services to patients.
2.
In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Seller Entity contributes the acquired Therapy Practice into a newly-formed limited partnership (“NewCo”), in exchange for one hundred percent (
100
%) of the limited and general partnership interests in NewCo. Therefore, in this step, NewCo becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller Entity.
3.
The Company enters into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire from the Seller Entity a majority (ranges from
50
% to
90
%) of the limited partnership interest and in
all
cases
100
% of the general partnership interest in NewCo. The Company does not purchase
100
% of the limited partnership interest because the Selling Shareholders, through the Seller Entity, want to maintain an ownership percentage. The consideration for the Acquisition is primarily payable in the form of cash at closing and a
two-year
note in lieu of an escrow (the “Purchase Price”). In some of the acquired therapy practice transactions, the Purchase Agreement contains an earn-out or other contingent consideration that is payable to the Seller Entity or the Selling Shareholders.
4.
The Company and the Seller Entity also execute a partnership agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) for NewCo that sets forth the rights and obligations of the limited and general partners of NewCo. After the Acquisition, the Company is the general partner of NewCo.
19
Table of Contents
5.
As noted above, the Company does not purchase
100
% of the limited partnership interests in NewCo and the Seller Entity retains a portion of the limited partnership interest in NewCo (“Seller Entity Interest”).
6.
In most cases, some or all of the Selling Shareholders enter into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with NewCo with an initial term that ranges from
three
to
five years
(the “Employment Term”), with automatic
one-year
renewals, unless employment is terminated prior to the end of the Employment Term. As a result, a Selling Shareholder becomes an employee (“Employed Selling Shareholder”) of NewCo. The employment of an Employed Selling Shareholder can be terminated by the Employed Selling Shareholder or NewCo, with or without cause, at any time. In a few situations, a Selling Shareholder does not become employed by NewCo and is not involved with NewCo following the closing; in those situations, such Selling Shareholders sell their entire ownership interest in the Seller Entity as of the closing of the Acquisition.
7.
The compensation of each Employed Selling Shareholder is specified in the Employment Agreement and is customary and commensurate with his or her responsibilities based on other employees in similar capacities within NewCo, the Company and the industry.
8.
The Company and the Selling Shareholder (including both Employed Selling Shareholders and Selling Shareholders not employed by NewCo) execute a non-compete agreement (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) which restricts the Selling Shareholder from engaging in competing Therapy Practice activities for a specified period of time (the “Non-Compete Term”). A Non-Compete Agreement is executed with the Selling Shareholders in all cases. That is, even if the Selling Shareholder does not become an Employed Selling Shareholder, the Selling Shareholder is restricted from engaging in a competing Therapy Practice during the Non-Compete Term.
9.
The Non-Compete Term commences as of the date of the Acquisition and typically expires on the
later
of :
a.
Two years
after the date an Employed Selling Shareholders’ employment is terminated (if the Selling Shareholder becomes an Employed Selling Shareholder) or
b.
Five
to
six years
from the date of the Acquisition, as defined in the Non-Compete Agreement, regardless of whether the Selling Shareholder is employed by NewCo.
10.
The Non-Compete Agreement applies to a restricted region which is defined as a mileage radius from the Acquired Therapy Practice. That is, an Employed Selling Shareholder is permitted to engage in competing Therapy Practices or activities outside the designated geography (after such Employed Selling Shareholder no longer is employed by NewCo) and a Selling Shareholder who is not employed by NewCo immediately is permitted to engage in the competing Therapy Practice or activities outside the designated geography.
The Partnership Agreement contains provisions for the redemption of the Seller Entity Interest, either at the option of the Company (the “Call Right”) or at the option of the Seller Entity (the “Put Right”) as follows:
1.
Put Right
a.
In the event that any Selling Shareholder’s employment is terminated under certain circumstances prior to a specified number of years following the Closing Date, the Seller Entity thereafter may have an irrevocable right to cause the Company to purchase from Seller Entity the Terminated Selling Shareholder’s Allocable Percentage of Seller Entity’s Interest at the purchase price described in “3” below.
b.
In the event that any Selling Shareholder is not employed by NewCo as of the specified date and the Company has not exercised its Call Right with respect to the Terminated Selling Shareholder’s Allocable Percentage of Seller Entity’s Interest, Seller Entity thereafter has the Put Right to cause the Company to purchase from Seller Entity the Terminated Selling Shareholder’s Allocable Percentage of Seller Entity’s Interest at the purchase price described in “3” below.
20
Table of Contents
c.
In the event that any Selling Shareholder’s employment with NewCo is terminated for any reason on or after the specified date, the Seller Entity has the Put Right, and upon the exercise of the Put Right, the Terminated Selling Shareholder’s Allocable Percentage of Seller Entity’s Interest shall be redeemed by the Company at the purchase price described in “3” below.
2.
Call Right
a.
If any Selling Shareholder’s employment by NewCo is terminated prior to the specified date after the Closing Date, the Company thereafter has an irrevocable right to purchase from Seller Entity the Terminated Selling Shareholder’s Allocable Percentage of Seller Entity’s Interest, in each case at the purchase price described in “3” below.
b.
In the event that any Selling Shareholder’s employment with NewCo is terminated for any reason on or after the specified date, the Company has the Call Right, and upon the exercise of the Call Right, the Terminated Selling Shareholder’s Allocable Percentage of Seller Entity’s Interest shall be redeemed by the Company at the purchase price described in “3” below.
3.
For the Put Right and the Call Right, the purchase price is derived from a formula based on a specified multiple of NewCo’s trailing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and the Company’s internal management fee, plus an Allocable Percentage of any undistributed earnings of NewCo (the “Redemption Amount”). NewCo’s earnings are distributed monthly based on available cash within NewCo; therefore, the undistributed earnings amount is small, if any.
4.
The Purchase Price for the initial equity interest purchased by the Company
typically is also
based on the same specified multiple of the trailing twelve-month earnings that is used in the Put Right and the Call Right noted above.
5.
The Put Right and the Call Right do not have an expiration date.
The Put Right and the Call Right never apply to Selling Shareholders who do not become employed by NewCo, since the Company requires that such Selling Shareholders sell their entire ownership interest in the Seller Entity at the closing of the Acquisition.
ProgressiveHealth Acquisition
On November 30, 2021, the Company acquired a majority interest in ProgressiveHealth Companies, LLC (“Progressive”), which owns a majority interest in certain subsidiaries (“Progressive Subsidiaries”) that operate in the IIP business. The Progressive transaction was completed in a series of steps which are described below.
1.
Prior to the acquisition, the Progressive Subsidiaries were owned by a legal entity (“Progressive Parent”) controlled by its individual owners (the “ Progressive Selling Shareholders”), who work in and manage the Progressive business.
2.
In conjunction with the acquisition, the Progressive Selling Shareholders caused the Progressive Parent to transfer its ownership of the Progressive Subsidiaries into a newly-formed limited liability company (“Progressive NewCo”), in exchange for one hundred percent (
100
%) of the membership interests in Progressive NewCo. Therefore, in this step, Progressive NewCo became wholly-owned by the Progressive Selling Shareholders.
3.
The Company entered into an agreement (the “Progressive Purchase Agreement”) to acquire from the Progressive Selling Shareholders a majority of the membership interest in Progressive NewCo. The consideration for the acquisition is primarily payable in the form of cash at closing, a relatively small portion paid in cash after the closing contingent on certain performance criteria, and a small note in lieu of an escrow (the “Progressive Purchase Price”).
21
Table of Contents
4.
The Company and the Progressive Selling Shareholders also executed an operating agreement (the “Progressive Operating Agreement”) for Progressive NewCo that sets forth the rights and obligations of the members of Progressive NewCo.
5.
As noted above, the Company did not purchase
100
% of the membership interests in Progressive NewCo and the Progressive Selling Shareholders retained a portion of the membership interest in Progressive NewCo (“Progressive Selling Shareholders’ Interest”).
6.
The Company and the Progressive Selling Shareholders executed a non-compete agreement (the “Progressive Non-Compete Agreement”) which restricts the Progressive Selling Shareholders from competing for a specified period of time (the “Progressive Non-Compete Term”).
7.
The Progressive Non-Compete Term commences as of the date of the Progressive acquisition and expires on the
later
of:
a.
Two years
after the date a Progressive Selling Shareholder no longer is involved in the management of Progressive NewCo or
b.
Seven years
from the date of the acquisition.
8.
The Progressive Non-Compete Agreement applies to the entire United States.
9.
The Progressive Put Right (as defined below) and the Progressive Call Right (as defined below) do not have an expiration date. The Progressive Operating Agreement contains provisions for the redemption of the Progressive Selling Shareholder’s Interest, either at the option of the Company (the “Progressive Call Right”) or at the option of the Progressive Selling Shareholder (the “Progressive Put Right”) as follows:
1.
Progressive Put Right
a.
Each of the Progressive Selling Shareholders has the right to sell
30
% of their respective residual interests on each of the 4th and 5th anniversaries of the acquisition closing, and then
10
% on each of the 6th and 7th anniversaries.
b.
In the event that any Progressive Selling Shareholder terminates his management relationship with Progressive NewCo for any reason on or after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, the Progressive Selling Shareholder has the Progressive Put Right, and upon the exercise of the Progressive Put Right, the Progressive Selling Shareholder’s Interest shall be redeemed by the Company at the purchase price described in “3” below.
2.
Progressive Call Rights
a.
If any Progressive Selling Shareholder’s ceases to perform management services on behalf of Progressive NewCo, the Company thereafter shall have an irrevocable right to purchase from such Progressive Selling Shareholder his Interest, in each case at the purchase price described in “3” below.
3.
For the Progressive Put Right and the Progressive Call Right, the purchase price is derived from a formula based on a specified multiple of Progressive NewCo’s trailing twelve months of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and the Company’s internal management fee, plus an Allocable Percentage of any undistributed earnings of Progressive NewCo. Progressive NewCo’s earnings are distributed monthly based on available cash within Progressive NewCo; therefore, the undistributed earnings amount is small, if any.
4.
The Progressive Purchase Price for the initial equity interest purchased by the Company is also based on the same specified multiple of the trailing twelve-month earnings that is used in the Progressive Put Right and the Progressive Call Right noted above.
22
Table of Contents
5.
The Progressive Put Right and the Progressive Call Right do not have an expiration date.
Neither the Progressive Operating Agreement nor the Progressive Non-Compete Agreement contain any provision to escrow or “claw back” the equity interest in Progressive NewCo held by the Progressive Selling Shareholders, in the event of a breach of the operating agreement or non-compete terms, or the management services agreement pursuant to which the Progressive Selling Shareholders perform services on behalf of Progressive NewCo. The Company’s only recourse against the Progressive Selling Shareholder for breach of any of these agreements is to seek damages and other legal remedies under such agreements. There are no conditions in any of the arrangements with a Progressive Selling Shareholder that would result in a forfeiture of the equity interest in Progressive NewCo held by a Progressive Selling Shareholder.
For both scenarios described above, an Employed Selling Shareholder’s ownership of his or her equity interest in the Seller Entity predates the Acquisition and the Company’s purchase of its partnership interest in NewCo. The Employment Agreement and the Non-Compete Agreement do not contain any provision to escrow or “claw back” the equity interest in the Seller Entity held by such Employed Selling Shareholder, nor the Seller Entity Interest in NewCo, in the event of a breach of the employment or non-compete terms. More specifically, even if the Employed Selling Shareholder is terminated for “cause” by NewCo, such Employed Selling Shareholder does not forfeit his or her right to his or her full equity interest in the Seller Entity and the Seller Entity does not forfeit its right to any portion of the Seller Entity Interest. The Company’s only recourse against the Employed Selling Shareholder for breach of either the Employment Agreement or the Non-Compete Agreement is to seek damages and other legal remedies under such agreements. There are no conditions in any of the arrangements with an Employed Selling Shareholder that would result in a forfeiture of the equity interest held in the Seller Entity or of the Seller Entity Interest.

5. Assets Held for Sale
In December 2024, the Company signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to sell an underperforming business unit within the physical therapy operations segment. The decision to divest was based on performance considerations and strategic realignment.
As of December 31, 2024, the business unit met the criteria for classification as held for sale under ASC 360. A $
2.4
million impairment charge was recorded to write down the business unit’s carrying value to fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The impairment was included in impairment of assets held for sale on the consolidated statements of net income. The impairment charges primarily related to intangible assets. Assets held for sale were valued at $
0.6
million on December 31, 2024, and have been presented within other current assets in the accompanying balance sheets.
The transaction was completed in February 2025 and the related loss on sale of $
0.1
million was recognized in the consolidated statements of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Tradenames, customer and referral relationships, and non-compete agreements are related to the businesses acquired. The value assigned to tradenames has an indefinite life and is tested at least annually for impairment using the relief from royalty method in conjunction with the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test. The value assigned to customer and referral relationships is being amortized over their respective estimated useful lives which range from
8.0
to
15.0
years. Non-compete agreements are amortized over the respective term of the agreements which range from
5.0
to
6.0
years. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the weighted average amortization period for customer and referral relationships was
12.8
years and the weighted average amortization period for non-compete agreements was
5.7
years. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized charges of $
2.0
million related to the
impairment of
assets held for sale

Effective December
5, 2013,
the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a commitment for a
$
125.0
million
revolving credit facility. This agreement was amended and/or restated in August
2015,
January
2016,
March
2017,
November
2017,
and
January 2021
. On June
17,
2022,
the Company entered into the
Third
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) and the lenders from time-to-time party thereto.
The Credit Agreement, which matures on
June 17, 2027
,
provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of
$
325
million
. Such loans were made available through the following facilities (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”):
1)
Revolving Facility:
$
175
million
,
five-year
, revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”), which includes a
$
12
million
sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a
$
15
million
sublimit for swingline loans (each, a “Swingline Loan”).
2)
Term Facility:
$
150
million
term loan facility (the “Term Facility”). The Term Facility amortizes in
quarterly
installments of: (a)
0.625
%
in each of the
first
two
years, (b)
1.250
%
in the
third
and
fourth
year, and (c)
1.875
%
in the
fifth
year of the Credit Agreement. The remaining outstanding principal balance of all term loans is due on the maturity date.
The proceeds of the Revolving Facility shall be used by the Company for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including to fund future acquisitions and invest in growth opportunities. The proceeds of the Term Facility were used by the Company to refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions involving the loan facilities, for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company is permitted to increase the Revolving Facility and/or add
one
or more tranches of term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (i)
$
100
million
plus
(ii) an unlimited additional amount, provided that (in the case of clause (ii)), after giving effect to such increases, the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would not exceed
2.0
:
1.0,
and the aggregate amount of all incremental increases under the Revolving Facility does not exceed
$
50,000,000
.
The interest rates per annum applicable to the Senior Credit Facilities (other than in respect of Swingline Loans) will be Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin or, at the option of the Company, an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for Term SOFR borrowings ranges from
1.50
%
to
2.25
%, and the applicable margin for alternate base rate borrowings ranges from
0.50
% to
1.25
%
, in each case, based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries. Interest is payable at the end of the selected interest period but no less frequently than quarterly and on the date of maturity.
The Company is also required to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each lender under the Revolving Facility, a commitment fee equal to the actual daily excess of each lender’s commitment over its outstanding credit exposure under the Revolving Facility (“unused fee”). Such unused fee will range between
0.25
%
and
0.35
%
per annum and is also based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may prepay and/or repay the revolving loans and the term loans, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions.
26
Table of Contents
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, acquisitions, investments, loans and guarantees, subject, in each case, to customary exceptions, thresholds and baskets. The Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants which include the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor”), and the obligations of the Company and any Guarantors are secured by a perfected
first
priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
As of March
31,
2025,
$
136.9
million
was outstanding on the Term Facility while $
28.0
million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility resulting in
$
147.0
million
of credit availability. As of March
31,
2025,
the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
The interest rate on the Company’s Senior Credit Facilities was
4.9
% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and
4.7
% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, with an all-in effective interest rate, including all associated costs, of
5.5
% and
5.3
% over the same periods, respectively.
The Company generally enters into various notes payable as a means of financing acquisitions. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s remaining outstanding balance on these notes amounte
d to $
2.6
million, of which $
1.6
million is due in 2025, $
0.9
million is due in 2026, and $
0.1
million is due in 2027. Notes are generally payable in equal annual installments of principal over
two years
plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Interest accrues at various interest rates ranging from
4.5
% to
8.5
% per annum.
10.
Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of business due to adverse changes in interest rates. The exposure to interest rate risk primarily results from the Company’s variable-rate borrowing. The Company may elect to use derivative financial instruments to manage risks from fluctuations in interest rates. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in interest rates can be volatile and the Company’s risk management activities do not eliminate these risks.
Interest Rate Swap
In May 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, effective on June 30, 2022, with Bank of America, N.A, which had a $
150
million notional value, and a maturity date of
June 30, 2027
. Beginning in July 2022, the Company receives
1-month
SOFR, and pays a fixed rate of interest of
2.815
% on
1-month
SOFR on a quarterly basis. The total interest rate in any period will also include an applicable margin based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In connection with the swap, no cash was exchanged between the Company and the counterparty.
The Company designated its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and structured it to be highly effective. Consequently, unrealized gains and losses related to the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

11. Leases
The Company has operating leases for its corporate offices and operating facilities. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent net present value of the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s operating lease terms are generally
five years
or less. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating fixed lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage are not included in the right-of-use assets or operating lease liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense.
The components of lease expense were as follows.

12. Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments include the physical therapy operations segment and the IIP segment. Also included in the physical therapy operations segment are revenues from management contract services and other services, which include services the Company provides on-site, such as athletic trainers for schools.
Physical Therapy Operations
The physical therapy operations segment primarily operates through subsidiary clinic partnerships (“Clinic Partnerships”), in which the Company generally owns a
1
% general partnership interest in all the Clinic Partnerships. The Company’s limited partnership interests generally range from
65
% to
75
% (the range is
10
% -
99
%) in the Clinic Partnerships. The managing therapist of each clinic owns, dire
ctly or indirectly, the remaining limited partnership interest in most of the clinics (hereinafter referred to as “Clinic Partnerships”). Some of the Clinic Partnerships serve as management services organizations which manage and provide staffing and a variety of administrative services to physical therapy provider entities in which the Company does not have an ownership interest. These Clinic Partnerships similarly are owned collectively by the Company and one or more physical therapists who are involved in the management of the operations. To a lesser extent, th
e Company operates some clinics, through wholly-owned subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “Wholly-Owned Facilities).
29
Table of Contents
The Company continues to seek to attract for employment physical therapists who have established relationships with physicians and other referral sources, by offering these therapists a competitive salary and incentives based on the profitability of the clinic that they manage. For multi-site clinic practices in which a controlling interest is acquired by the Company, the prior owners typically continue on as employees to manage the clinic operations, retain a non-controlling ownership interest in the clinics and receive a competitive salary for managing the clinic operations. In addition, the Company has developed satellite clinic facilities as part of existing Clinic Partnerships and Wholly-Owned Facilities, with the result that a substantial number of Clinic Partnerships and Wholly-Owned Facilities operate more than
one
clinic location.
Clinic Partnerships
For non-acquired Clinic Partnerships, the earnings and liabilities attributable to the non-controlling interests, typically owned by the managing therapist, directly or indirectly, are recorded within the balance sheets and income statements as non-controlling interest—permanent equity. For acquired Clinic Partnerships with redeemable non-controlling interests, the earnings attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interests are recorded within the consolidated balance sheets and income statements as redeemable non-controlling interest—temporary equity.
Wholly-Owned Facilities
For Wholly-Owned Facilities with profit sharing arrangements, an appropriate accrual is recorded for the amount of profit sharing due to the clinic partners/directors. The amount is expensed as compensation and included in clinic operating costs—salaries and related costs. The respective liability is included in current liabilities—accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Industrial Injury Prevention Services
Services provided in the IIP segment include onsite injury prevention and rehabilitation, performance optimization, post offer employment testing, functional capacity evaluations, and ergonomic assessments. The majority of these services are contracted with and paid for directly by employers, including a number of Fortune 500 companies. Other clients include large insurers and their contractor
s. IIP services are performed through Industrial Sports Medicine Professionals with specialized training related to the musculoskeletal system.
30
Table of Contents
Segment Financials
The Company, including its chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, uses gross profit in its budget-to-actual, forecasting, and other analytical processes to assess segment performance and allocate resources.
The Company has provided additional information regarding its reportable segments which contributes to the understanding of the Company and provides useful inf
ormation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis of U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (herein referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with (i) our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 3, 2025 (“2024 Annual Report”).
This discussion includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risk and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from the statements we make in this section due to a number of factors that are discussed below.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We operate our business through two reportable business segments. Our physical therapy operations consist of physical therapy and occupational therapy clinics that provide pre- and post-operative care and treatment for a variety of orthopedic-related disorders, and sports-related injuries, and rehabilitation of injured workers. Services provided by the industrial injury prevention services (“IIP”) segment include onsite services for clients’ employees including injury prevention and rehabilitation, performance optimization, post-offer employment testing, functional capacity evaluations and ergonomic assessments. The majority of the IIP services are contracted with and paid for directly by employers, including a number of Fortune 500 companies. IIP services are performed through Industrial Sports Medicine Professionals with specialized training related to the musculoskeletal system.

(1) The Company also manages clinics owned by third parties through management contracts. In addition to the clinic count shown above, as of March 31, 2025, the Company managed 37 clinics bringing the total owned/managed clinics to 773. As of March 31, 2024, the Company managed 41 clinics bringing the total owned/managed clinics to 720.
(2) Includes clinics added through acquisitions.
Our strategy is to continue acquiring outpatient physical therapy practices, develop outpatient physical therapy clinics as satellites in existing partnerships, and continue acquiring companies that provide or serve our IIP sector.
Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share payable on June 13, 2025, to shareholders of record on May 23, 2025.
On April 30, 2025, we acquired an outpatient home care physical, occupational and speech therapy practice through our 50% owned subsidiary, MSO Metro, LLC (“Metro”). The practice currently generates approximately $2.1 million in annual revenue. Metro acquired an 80% interest in the acquired company with the existing owners retaining a 20% ownership interest.
Regulatory Changes
The following is a discussion of some of the significant healthcare regulatory changes that have affected our financial performance in the periods covered by this report or are likely to affect our financial performance and financial condition in the future. The information below should be read in conjunction with the more detailed discussion of regulations contained in our 2024 Annual Report.
Medicare Reimbursement
The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (“MPFS”). Outpatient rehabilitation providers may enroll in Medicare as institutional outpatient rehabilitation facilities (i.e., rehab agencies) or individual physical or occupational therapists in private practice. The majority of our clinicians are enrolled as individual physical or occupational therapists in private practice while the remaining balance of providers are reimbursed through enrolled rehab agencies.
35
Table of Contents
For calendar years 2021, 2022 and 2023, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) expected decreases in Medicare reimbursement were partially offset by one-time increases in payments as a result of other legislation passed by Congress, resulting in decreases of approximately 3.5%, 0.75% and 2.0% in each of these years, respectively. For January 1 through March 8 of 2024, CMS’s final rule resulted in an approximate 3.5% decrease in Medicare payments for the therapy specialty. However, effective as of March 9, 2024, pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, Congress minimized the reduction in Medicare payments for therapy services for the balance of 2024, resulting in an approximate 1.8% reduction in Medicare payments for therapy services (rather than the 3.5% decrease). The MPFS for 2025 decreased Medicare reimbursement for therapy services by approximately 2.9% as compared to the reimbursement rates in effect for most of 2024.
In the final 2020 MPFS rule, CMS clarified that when the physical therapist is involved for the entire duration of the service and the physical therapist assistant (“PTA”) provides skilled therapy alongside the physical therapist, an identification of the PTA’s participation (as denoted by a “CQ modifier”) is not required. Also, when the same service (code) is furnished separately by the physical therapist and PTA, CMS applies the de minimis standard to each 15-minute unit of codes, not on the total physical therapist and PTA time of the service. For dates of service on and after January 1, 2022, CMS pays for physical therapy and occupational therapy services provided by PTAs and occupational therapist assistants (“OTAs”) at 85% of the otherwise applicable Part B payment amount. CMS allows a timed service to be billed without a CQ (for PTA’s) or CO (for OTA’s) modifier when a PTA or OTA participates in providing care, but the physical therapist or occupational therapist meets the Medicare billing requirements without including the PTA’s or OTA’s minutes. This occurs when the physical therapist or occupational therapist provides more minutes than the 15-minute midpoint. The proposed 2025 MPFS final rule does not contain any policy changes concerning the modifiers for services provided by physical therapy and occupational therapist assistants.

Represents the percentage of net revenue for the periods presented
Total net revenue for the 2025 First Quarter increased $28.1 million, or 18.1%, to $183.8 million from $155.7 million for the 2024 First Quarter while operating costs increased $25.4 million, or 20.0%, to $152.7 million from $127.3 million over the same periods, respectively.
This increase was due to the increase in visits from the 53 net clinics added since the comparable prior year period and an increase in net rate per patient visit.
Net rate per patient visit for the 2025 First Quarter was $105.66, increasing $2.29 per visit from $103.37 for the 2024 First Quarter, despite the approximate 2.9% Medicare rate reduction which went into effect on January 1, 2025. Net rate per patient visit also increased sequentially by $0.93 from $104.73 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net rate per patient visit reflects our strategic priority of increasing reimbursement rates through contract negotiations with commercial and other payors as well as growing workers compensation as a percent of our overall mix of business.
Gross profit which included $0.2 million of costs associated with seven clinic closures, in the 2025 First Quarter, was $31.1 million, or 16.9% of net revenue, during the 2025 First Quarter compared to $28.4 million, or 18.2% of net revenue, for the 2024 First Quarter.
Our Net Income was $9.9 million for the 2025 First Quarter compared to $8.0 million in the 2024 First Quarter. In accordance with GAAP, the revaluation of noncontrolling interest, net of taxes, is not included in net income but is charged directly to retained earnings; however, this change is included in the computation of earnings per share. Earnings per share was $0.80 for the 2025 First Quarter compared to $0.46 for the 2024 First Quarter

Non-GAAP Measures
The following tables provide details of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation and reconcile net income attributable to our shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results. The tables also provide a reconciliation of additional non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We believe providing Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results to investors is useful for comparing our period-to-period results as well as for comparing with other similar businesses since most do not have redeemable instruments and therefore have different equity structures. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results, which eliminate certain items described above that can be subject to volatility and unusual costs, as the principal measures to evaluate and monitor financial performance period over period.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income attributable to our shareholders before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of contingent earn-out consideration, changes in revaluation of put-right liability, equity-based awards compensation expense, clinic closure costs, business acquisition related costs, costs related to a one-time financial systems upgrade, loss on sale of a partnership and other income and related portions for non-controlling interests.
Operating Results, a non-GAAP measure, equals net income attributable to our shareholders less, changes in revaluation of a put-right liability, clinic closure costs, loss on sale of a partnership, changes in fair value of contingent earn-out consideration, business acquisition related costs, costs related to a one-time financial systems upgrade and any allocations to non-controlling interests, all net of taxes. Operating Results per share also excludes the impact of the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest and the associated tax impact.
Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Operating Results and other non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income attributable to our shareholders presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non- GAAP measure, was $19.5 million for the 2025 First Quarter, an increase of $2.8 million, or 16.5%, from $16.8 million in the 2024 First Quarter primarily driven by acquisitions since the prior year period and an increase in net patient revenue per visit.
Operating Results, a non-GAAP measure, was $7.3 million in the 2025 First Quarter compared to $7.7 million in the 2024 First Quarter. On a per share basis, Operating Results was $0.48 in the 2025 First Quarter compared to $0.51 in the 2024 First Quarter.

Revenues
Net revenue from physical therapy operations increased $22.0 million, or 16.4%, to $156.4 million for the 2025 First Quarter from $134.4 million for the 2024 First Quarter. This increase was due to the increase in visits from the 53 net clinics added since the comparable prior year period and an increase in net rate per patient visit, which reflects our strategic priority of increasing reimbursement rates through contract negotiations with commercial and other payors as well as growing workers compensation as a percent of our overall mix of business.
Net rate per patient visit for the 2025 First Quarter was $105.66, increasing $2.29 per visit from $103.37 for the 2024 First Quarter, despite the approximate 2.9% Medicare rate reduction which went into effect on January 1, 2025. Net rate per patient visit also increased sequentially by $0.93 from $104.73 for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
Other revenues increased by $0.5 million, or 15.3%, to $3.9 million for the 2025 First Quarter from $3.4 million for the 2024 First Quarter.
Operating costs
Operating costs from physical therapy operations increased $20.6 million, or 18.6%, to $130.9 million in the 2025 First Quarter from $110.4 million in the 2024 First Quarter primarily
driven by the 53 net new clinics added since the comparable prior year period.
The total operating costs per visit (excluding management contracts and certain incentive costs related to Metro) was $89.28 compared to $85.50 over the same periods, respectively.
Salaries and related costs, clinics (excluding management contracts) increased to $91.8 million in the 2025 First Quarter from $77.9 million in the 2024 First Quarter, an increase of $13.9 million, or 17.9% mostly due to the net clinics added since the comparable prior year period. Salaries and related costs per visit (excluding management contracts and certain incentive costs related to Metro) increased to $63.53 for the 2025 First Quarter from $61.42 for the 2024 First Quarter.

Rent, supplies, contract labor and other costs, related to clinics (excluding management contracts) increased to $30.1 million in the 2025 First Quarter from $25.1 million in the 2024 First Quarter, an increase of $5.0 million, or 19.9% mostly due to clinic additions. Rent, supplies, contract labor and other per visit (excluding management contracts), related to clinics increased to $24.47 for the 2025 First Quarter from $22.87 for the 2024 First Quarter.
Depreciation and amortization related to physical therapy operations increased to $5.2 million in 2025 First Quarter from $3.8 million in the 2024 First Quarter, an increase of $1.4 million, or 33.5%, primarily due to the larger number of clinics in the 2025 First Quarter compared to the 2024 First Quarter.
The provision for credit losses was $1.8 million for the 2025 First Quarter and $1.6 million for the 2024 First Quarter. As a percentage of net revenues, the provision for credit losses were 1.0% for the same periods.
Gross Profit
Gross profit from physical therapy operations in the 2025 First Quarter was $25.5 million with a gross profit margin of 16.3% compared to $24.1 million with a gross profit margin of 17.9% in the 2024 First Quarter.

Corporate Office Costs
Corporate office costs increased to $16.2 million in the 2025 First Quarter from $14.1 million in the 2024 First Quarter. This increase was primarily to support the larger number of clinics as well as expenses related to the integration of our recent acquisitions. As a ratio to net revenue, corporate office costs improved to 8.8% in the 2025 First Quarter compared to 9.0% in the 2024 Fourth Quarter.
Change in fair value of contingent earn-out consideration
We revalued contingent earn-out consideration related to certain acquisitions resulting in a gain of $4.8 million for the 2025 First Quarter compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the 2024 First Quarter.
Operating Income
Operating income was $19.6 million for the 2025 First Quarter compared to $14.9 million for the 2024 First Quarter.

Interest income from investment
Interest income was less than $0.1 million during the 2025 First Quarter compared to $1.5 million in the 2024 First Quarter as the cash on the balance sheet at the end of the 2024 First Quarter has been deployed into acquisitions since that time.
Change in revaluation of put-right liability
We recorded an expense of $0.4 million on the revaluation of a put right liability for the 2025 First Quarter compared to an expense of $0.1 million for the 2024 First Quarter. The put right relates to the potential future purchase of a company that provides physical therapy and rehabilitation services to hospitals and other ancillary providers in a distinct market area.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate
We recognized an income of $0.4 million for the 2025 First Quarter compared to $0.3 million for the 2024 First Quarter from a joint venture which provides physical therapy services for patients at hospitals. Since we are deemed to not have a controlling interest in the joint venture, our investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $3.9 million in the 2025 First Quarter compared to $3.1 million during the 2024 First Quarter while the effective tax rate was 28.1% in each of the same periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that our business has sufficient cash to allow us to meet our short-term cash requirements. Total cash and cash equivalents were $39.2 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $41.4 million as of December 31, 2024, and $132.3 million at March 31, 2024. Additionally, we had $164.9 million of outstanding borrowings and $147.0 million in available credit under our credit facilities as of March 31, 2025, compared to $151.6 million of outstanding borrowings and $164.0 million in available credit under our credit facilities as of December 31, 2024.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and availability under our Senior Credit Facilities are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of our operating subsidiaries through at least March 31, 2026.
Historically, we have generated sufficient cash from operations to fund our development activities and to cover operational needs. We plan to continue developing new clinics and making acquisitions. We have, from time to time, purchased the non-controlling interests of limited partners in our existing partnerships. We may purchase additional non-controlling interests in the future. Generally, any acquisition or purchase of non-controlling interests is expected to be accomplished using our cash, financing, or a combination of the two.
We make reasonable and appropriate efforts to collect accounts receivable, including applicable deductible and co-payment amounts. Claims are submitted to payors daily, weekly or monthly in accordance with our policy or payor’s requirements. When possible, we submit our claims electronically. The collection process is time-consuming and typically involves the submission of claims to multiple payors whose payment of claims may be dependent upon the payment of another payor. Claims under litigation and vehicular incidents can take a year or longer to collect. Medicare and other payor claims relating to new clinics awaiting CMS approval initially may not be submitted for six months or more. When all reasonable internal collection efforts have been exhausted, accounts are written off prior to sending them to outside collection firms. With managed care, commercial health plans and self-pay payor type receivables, the write-off generally occurs after the account receivable has been outstanding for 120 days or longer. As of March 31, 2025, we have accrued $6.8 million related to credit balances, a portion of which is due to patients and payors.

Operating Activities
Cash used by operating activities was $4.7 million for the 2025 First Quarter as compared to $4.4 million provided by operating activities for the 2024 First Quarter. This decrease in cash provided was mostly due to the timing of payments related to payables and accrued expenses.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the 2025 First Quarter totaled $6.6 million and primarily consisted of $5.1 million used in the purchase of interests in businesses and non-controlling interests (temporary and permanent), and $2.6 million of fixed assets purchases. These uses were partially offset by $0.7 million in proceeds from the sale of non-controlling interests (temporary and permanent), and $0.3 million of distributions received from an unconsolidated affiliate.

Table of Contents
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the 2025 First Quarter totaled $9.1 million and primarily comprised of $17.0 million in proceeds from our Revolving Facility (as defined below) offset by $3.7 million in distributions to non-controlling interests (temporary and permanent) and payments of $4.2 million related to notes payable and the Term Facility.
Senior Credit Facilities
On December 5, 2013, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a commitment for a $125.0 million revolving credit facility. This agreement was amended and/or restated in August 2015, January 2016, March 2017, November 2017, and January 2021. On June 17, 2022, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) and the lenders from time-to-time party thereto.
The Credit Agreement, which matures on June 17, 2027, provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of $325 million. Such loans will be available through the following facilities (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”):
1)
Revolving Facility: $175 million, five-year, revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”), which includes a $12 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $15 million sublimit for swingline loans (each, a “Swingline Loan”).
2)
Term Facility: $150 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”). The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments of: (a) 0.625% in each of the first two years, (b) 1.250% in the third and fourth year, and (c) 1.875% in the fifth year of the Credit Agreement. The remaining outstanding principal balance of all term loans is due on the maturity date.
The proceeds of the Revolving Facility have been and shall continue to be used by us for working capital and other general corporate purposes of our Company and its subsidiaries, including to fund future acquisitions and invest in growth opportunities. The proceeds of the Term Facility were used by us to refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the loan facilities transactions, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
We are permitted to increase the Revolving Facility and/or add one or more tranches of term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $100 million plus (ii) an unlimited additional amount, provided that (in the case of clause (ii)), after giving effect to such increases, the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would not exceed 2.0:1.0, and the aggregate amount of all incremental increases under the Revolving Facility does not exceed $50,000,000.
The interest rates per annum applicable to the Senior Credit Facilities (other than in respect of Swingline Loans) will be Term SOFR as defined in the agreement plus an applicable margin or, at our option, an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. Interest is payable at the end of the selected interest period but no less frequently than quarterly and on the date of maturity.
We will also pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each lender under the Revolving Facility, a commitment fee equal to the actual daily excess of each lender’s commitment over its outstanding credit exposure under the Revolving Facility (“unused fee”). We may prepay and/or repay the revolving loans and the term loans, , in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions.

Table of Contents
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends, and other payments in respect of equity interests, acquisitions, investments, loans and guarantees, subject, in each case, to customary exceptions, thresholds and baskets. The Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants which include the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor”), and our obligations and any Guarantors are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of our existing and future personal property and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
As of March 31, 2025, $135.9 million (net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.0 million) was outstanding on the Term Facility while $28.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility resulting in $147.0 million of credit availability. The interest rate on the Senior Credit Facilities was 4.9% for the 2025 First Quarter and 4.7% for the 2024 First Quarter, with an all-in effective interest rate, including all associated costs, of 5.5% and 5.3% over the same periods, respectively.
Interest Rate Swap
In May 2022, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, effective on June 30, 2022, with Bank of America, N.A. It has a $150 million notional value adjusted concurrently with scheduled principal payments made on the term loan and has a maturity date of June 30, 2027. Beginning in July 2022, we receive 1-month SOFR, and pay a fixed rate of interest of 2.815% on 1-month SOFR or Bank of America’s prime rate on a quarterly basis. The total interest rate in any period also includes an applicable margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio. In connection with the swap, no cash was exchanged between us and the counterparty.
We designated our interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and structured it to be highly effective. Consequently, unrealized gains and losses related to the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $2.4 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, net of a $0.3 million income tax effect, as compared to December 31, 2024. The fair value of the interest rate swap is included in Other assets (current and long term) in our consolidated balance sheet while the decrease in fair value is presented as an unrealized loss in our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The interest rate swap arrangement has generated $0.5 million in interest savings for the 2025 First Quarter.
Notes Payable and Deferred Payments Related to Acquisitions
We generally enter into various notes payable as a means of financing our acquisitions. Our present outstanding notes payable primarily relate to the acquisitions of a business or acquisitions of majority interests in such businesses. At March 31, 2025, our remaining outstanding balance on these notes aggregated $2.6 million, of which $1.6 million is payable in 2025, $0.9 million is payable in 2026 and $0.1 is payable in 2027. Notes are generally payable in equal annual installments of principal over two years plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Interest accrues at various interest rates ranging from 4.0% to 8.5% per annum.
On February 28, 2025, we acquired 65% interest in a physical practice with three clinic locations. The prior owners retained a 35% ownership interest. The purchase price for the 65% interest was approximately $3.8 million which was paid in cash. As part of this transaction, we agreed to additional consideration if future operational objectives are met. The maximum amount of additional contingent consideration due under this agreement is $1.3 million. The contingent consideration is valued at $1.3 million as of March 31, 2025.
On November 30, 2024, we acquired a 75% equity interest in an eight-clinic physical therapy practice. The owner of the practice retained 25% of the equity interests. The purchase price for the 75% equity interest was approximately $15.9 million, of which $15.7 million was paid in cash, and $0.2 million was in the form of a note payable. The note accrues interest at 5.0% per annum and the principal and interest is payable in one installment which is due on December 1, 2026.

On October 31, 2024, we acquired a 50% interest in MSO Metro, LLC (“Metro”) pursuant to a Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated October 7, 2024 among U.S. Physical Therapy, Ltd. (a subsidiary of the Company), Metro, the members of Metro, and Michael G. Mayrsohn, as Sellers’ Representative. We also became the managing member of Metro. We paid a purchase price of approximately $76.5 million, $75.0 million of which was funded by our cash on hand and the remaining $1.5 million through the issuance of 18,358 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a trailing five-day average as of the day immediately prior to closing. The shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The Purchase Agreement also included an earnout where the sellers can earn up to $20.0 million of additional consideration if certain performance criteria relating to the Metro business are achieved. The value of the contingent consideration at March 31, 2025 was $7.4 million.
On August 31, 2024, we acquired a 70% equity interest in an eight-clinic practice physical therapy and the original practice owners retained a 30% equity interest. The purchase price for the 70% equity interest was approximately $2.0 million. As part of the transaction, we agreed to additional contingent consideration if future operational and financial objectives are met. The maximum amount of additional contingent consideration due under this agreement is $3.6 million. The contingent consideration was valued at $2.1 million on March 31, 2025.
On April 30, 2024, we acquired 100% of an IIP business through one of its primary IIP businesses, Briotix Health Limited Partnership, for a purchase price of approximately $24.0 million, of which $0.5 million was in the form of a note payable. The note accrues interest at 5.0% per annum and the principal and the interest are payable in May 2025. As part of the transaction, we agreed to additional contingent consideration if future operational objectives are met by the business. The maximum amount of additional contingent consideration due under this agreement is $10.0 million. The contingent consideration was valued at $2.0 million as of March 31, 2025.
On March 29, 2024, we acquired a 50% equity interest in a nine-clinic physical therapy and hand therapy practice. The original owners of the practice retained the remaining 50%. The purchase price for the 50% equity interest was approximately $16.4 million, of which $0.5 million was in the form of a note payable. The note accrues interest at 4.5% per annum and the principal and the interest are payable on March 29, 2026. As part of the transaction, we agreed to additional contingent consideration if future operational and financial objectives are met. There is no maximum payout. The contingent consideration was valued at $0.8 million on March 31, 2025.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
Certain limited partnership agreements and limited liability company agreements, as amended, provide that, upon the triggering events, we have a call right and the selling entity or individual has a put right for the purchase and sale of the limited partnership interest held by the partner. Once triggered, the put right and the call right do not expire, even upon an individual partner’s death, and contain no mandatory redemption feature. The purchase price of the partner’s limited partnership interest upon the exercise of either the put right or the call right is calculated per the terms of the respective agreements and classified as redeemable non-controlling interest (temporary equity) in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests on March 31, 2025, was $260.0 million.
In the event that a limited non-controlling partner’s employment ceases at any time after a specified date that is typically between three and five years from the acquisition date, we have agreed to certain contractual provisions which enable such minority partners to exercise their right to trigger our repurchase of that partner’s non-controlling interest at a predetermined multiple of earnings before interest and taxes.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We maintain an interest rate swap arrangement which is considered a derivative instrument. Our indebtedness as of March 31, 2025, was the outstanding balance of seller notes from our acquisitions of $2.6 million, and an outstanding balance on our term note related to the Credit Agreement of $164.9 million. The Revolving Facility within our Credit Facilities has a balance of $28.0 million as of March 31, 2025, and is subject to fluctuating interest rates. A 1% change in the interest rate would yield an additional $0.1 million of interest expense. A 1% change in the interest rate would yield $0.3 million in interest expense on the Credit Facilities because of the interest rate swap described above. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management completed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded (i) that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are a party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, proceedings, and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject us to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. The Department of Justice, CMS, or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to our businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.
Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. We have been a defendant in these cases in the past and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.
