CERRITOS, Calif., March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Oncology Institute, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOI) (“TOI” or the “Company”), one of the largest value-based community oncology groups in the United States, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2026
TOI uses Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash flow, each a non-GAAP metric, as an additional tool to assess its operational and financial performance. See "Financial Information: Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Regulation S-K, TOI is not reasonably able to provide a quantitative reconciliation for forward-looking information of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash flow to net (loss) income and net cash provided by operations, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, without unreasonable efforts due to uncertainties regarding capitated lives, direct costs, taxes, capital expenditures, share-based compensation, change in fair value of liabilities, unrealized (gains) losses on investments, consulting and legal fees, transaction costs and other non-cash items. The variability of these items could have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on TOI’s future GAAP financial results.
The Company expects approximately $150 million in capitated revenue in 2026. Additionally, the Company anticipates first quarter Adjusted EBITDA to be between $(1) million and $(3) million due to seasonality with patients' deductibles reset and annual drug pricing increases that are not immediately reflected in reimbursement rates, as pharmaceutical reimbursement adjustments operate on a lagged basis from pricing. On the specialty pharmacy side, the Company assumes performance in line with the second-half 2025 revenue run-rate of approximately $27 million per month, plus some modest incremental growth of 3-5% from new capitation lives we are capturing in TOI clinics during 2026.
TOI's achievement of the anticipated results is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The outlook does not take into account the impact of any unanticipated developments in the business or changes in the operating or economic environment, nor does it take into account the impact of TOI's acquisitions, dispositions or financings. TOI's outlook assumes a largely stable global market, which would likely be negatively impacted if recent tariff rate increases and exchange rate changes persist and adversely affect world trade.
Management Commentary
Daniel Virnich, CEO of TOI, commented, "2025 was an incredibly productive year for The Oncology Institute. Our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality oncology care drove meaningful progress across our business, with continued expansion of our capitated care model through delegated arrangements serving as the primary catalyst. These arrangements allow us to manage the oncology benefit more comprehensively, while aligning incentives with our payor partners and delivering quality clinical outcomes to the patients we serve. Our growing scale, steady working capital management, and clinical pathways, all contributed to the fourth quarter marking a significant milestone on our path to becoming a profitable public company.
"Looking ahead to 2026, we are acutely focused on execution, enhancing our scale, and delivering profitable growth. Key initiatives include continuing to expand our delegated capitated model, launching a proprietary network provider portal to strengthen engagement with our affiliated partners, and adding expertise to our board with recent appointments like Mark Stolper and Kim Tzoumakas. Based on the momentum from our fourth quarter, we are reaffirming our expectation to achieve full-year positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2026. We remain well-positioned to expand payor partnerships and deliver sustainable growth as we execute on our strategic goals," Dr. Virnich concluded.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). TOI’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release in conjunction with TOI’s financial statements and the related notes thereto.
TOI believes that the use of Free Cash Flow provides an additional tool to assess the Company's financial performance, evaluate its ability to generate cash from operations, and plan for future investments and obligations. Free Cash Flow is useful in understanding the cash available for strategic initiatives. It also helps in comparing TOI's financial performance with other similar companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to provide insights into their cash generation capabilities. However, the principal limitation of Free Cash Flow is that it does not account for certain cash outflows or inflows that are required by GAAP to be recorded in TOI's financial statements. TOI defines Free Cash Flow as net cash flow provided by (used in) operations plus cash paid for interest, less capital expenditures.
TOI believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to assess our operations and results of our performance, to plan and forecast future periods, and factors and trends in, and in comparing our financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in TOI's financial statements.
TOI defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income plus depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes, non-cash items, share-based compensation, goodwill impairment charges, change in fair value of liabilities, unrealized gains or losses on investments and other adjustments to add-back the following: consulting and legal fees related to acquisitions, one-time consulting and legal fees related to certain advisory projects, software implementations and debt or equity financings, severance expense and temporary labor and recruiting charges to build out our corporate infrastructure.
A reconciliation of net cash flow used in operating activities to Free Cash Flow and net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, the most comparable GAAP metric, is set forth below.
(1) Clinics operated under the TOI PCs, whereby we receive a percentage of revenue under our management services agreements, or MSAs, and are consolidated. Additionally, includes independent oncology practices to which we provide limited management services and have network provider agreements, but do not bear the operating costs.
