Management Commentary

Mr. Terren Peizer, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “Our strong performance from the beginning of this year continued to build momentum in the second quarter, resulting in another record quarter in terms of revenue and enrolled member growth. These record levels were achieved through expansion of our existing plans, and the national launch that we announced at the end of June will further accelerate our growth and strengthen our financial position.”

Mr. Peizer continued, “During the quarter, we began implementing several enhancements to our algorithms to identify incremental candidates for our outreach pool and we grew our pipeline of potential new customers to its most robust level in the company’s history. Subsequent to the close of the quarter, we took an important step in the commercial evolution of the company, changing our name to Ontrak, Inc., which enables us to harness the power of marketing under the unified and well respected Ontrak^TM brand, which we believe will help us to scale more effectively and efficiently.”

Mr. Peizer concluded, “Our solid first half of 2020 coupled with the algorithmic enhancements we’ve executed throughout the second quarter and member satisfaction scores that are the highest in the company’s history give us confidence in our ability to continue to deliver positive clinical outcomes for members of our health plan partners and exponential growth this year and beyond.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company has provided in this press release and the quarterly conference call held on the date hereof certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss per share, which are not U.S. GAAP financial measures. and clarifies and enhances an understanding of our past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.

EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze our financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and (gain) loss on change in fair value of warrant liability. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze our financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.

Non-GAAP net loss consists of net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on change in fair value of warrant liability and debt issuance write-off, if any. Non-GAAP net loss per share consists of loss per share adjusted for non-GAAP net loss. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze our financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.

We believe the above non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Non-GAAP net loss may vary from that of others in our industry. Neither EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin nor Non-GAAP net loss should be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss, loss per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of performance.
