Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
ModivCare Inc. ("ModivCare" or the "Company") is a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for public and private payors and their members. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health, or SDoH, connect members to care, help health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation, or NEMT, personal care, and remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solutions, which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model in its NEMT segment includes NEMT core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transportation management. Additionally, its personal care services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring services include personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. ModivCare is further expanding its offerings to include meal delivery and working with communities to provide meals to food-insecure individuals.
ModivCare also holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operates under the Matrix Medical Network brand (“Matrix”). Matrix, which is included in our Corporate and Other segment, maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services, and a fleet of mobile health clinics that provide community-based care with advanced diagnostic capabilities and enhanced care options.
Basis of Presentation
The Company follows accounting standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these notes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which serves as the single source of authoritative accounting and applicable reporting standards to be applied for non-governmental entities. All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included.
The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and certain disclosures in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 included in this Form 10-Q has been derived from audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures enacted by state and government officials to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 or slow its spread have had an ongoing adverse impact on the Company’s business, as
9
well as its patients, communities, and employees. The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company's financial statements with potential for (i) labor shortages or other disruptions that impact our ability to provide services, (ii) decreased member comfort leaving the house to obtain transportation for non-emergency medical purposes, and (iii) supply chain challenges that may cause an increase in the costs of providing our services; among other things. The Company continues to actively monitor the pandemic and any future impact it may have on our business and results of operations with emphasis on protecting the health and safety of its employees, maximizing the availability of its services and products to support the SDoH, and supporting the operational and financial stability of its business.
Federal, state, and local authorities have taken several actions designed to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients and to mitigate the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Legislative actions taken by the federal government include the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARPA"). Through the CARES Act, the federal government has authorized payments to be distributed to healthcare providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("Provider Relief Fund" or "PRF"). The Government further initiated ARPA which established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund ("SLFRF") to send relief payments to state and local governments impacted by the pandemic to assist with responding to the public health emergency (“PHE”) including the economic hardships that continue to impact communities and to respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 PHE, including providers. These funds are not subject to repayment, provided we are able to attest and comply with any terms and conditions of such funding, as applicable.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingencies, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels based on the objectivity of inputs are defined as follows:
–Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in active markets as of the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
–Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
–Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (net of allowance for credit losses) and current liabilities was equal to or approximated fair value due to their short-term nature or proximity to current market rates. Fair values for our publicly traded debt securities are based on quoted market prices, when available. See Note 8, Debt, for the fair value of our long-term debt.
Internal-use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements
The Company develops and implements software for internal use to enhance the performance and capabilities of the technology infrastructure. The costs incurred for the development of the internal-use software are capitalized when they meet the internal-use software capitalization criteria outlined in ASC 350-40. The capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, ranging from 3 to 10 years.
10
In addition to acquired software, the Company capitalizes costs associated with cloud computing arrangements (“CCA”) that are service contracts. The CCA includes services which are used to support certain internal corporate functions as well as technology associated with revenue-generating activities. The capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related CCA. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, capitalized costs associated with CCA, net of accumulated amortization were $11.8 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The value of accumulated amortization as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $2.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, totaled $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it transfers promised services to its customers and generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for these services. The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations over time and recognizes revenue over time instead of at points in time and applies the "as-invoiced" practical expedient which aligns the pattern of transfer of promised services with the value received by the customer for the performance completed to date. In the NEMT segment, the Company's performance obligation is to stand ready to perform transportation-related activities, including the management, fulfillment, and recordkeeping activities associated with such services. In the Personal Care segment, the Company's performance obligation is to deliver patient care services in accordance with the nature of services and hours worked per each contract. In the RPM segment, the Company's performance obligation is to stand ready to perform monitoring services in the form of personal emergency response system (PERS) monitoring, vitals monitoring, and medication management, as contractually agreed upon.
The Company holds different contract types under its different segments of business. In the NEMT segment, there are both capitated contracts, under which payors pay a fixed amount monthly per eligible member, and fee-for-service ("FFS") contracts, under which the Company bills and collects a specified amount for each service that is provided. Personal Care contracts are also FFS, and service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from clients, patients and third-party payors for services rendered. RPM service revenue consists of revenue from monitoring services provided to the customer. Under RPM contracts, payors pay per-enrolled-member-per-month, based on enrolled membership. For each contract type, the Company determines the transaction price based on the gross charges for services provided, reduced by estimates for contractual adjustments due to settlements of audits and payment reviews from third-party payors. The Company determines the estimated revenue adjustments at each segment based on our historical experience with various third-party payors and previous results from the claims and adjudication process. The Personal Care segment uses the portfolio approach to determine the estimated revenue adjustments. See further information in Note 4, Revenue Recognition.
Government Grants
The Company has received government grants under the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF to provide economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under these acts, the Company received distributions of approximately $1.6 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which $1.5 million and $0.5 million was recognized as grant income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with the remaining balance recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Distributions received under these acts are targeted to assist with incremental health care related expenses or lost revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as provide stimulus to support long-term growth and recovery.
The payments from these acts are subject to certain restrictions and possible recoupment if not used for designated purposes. As a condition to receiving PRF distributions, providers must agree to certain terms and conditions, including, among other things, that the funds are being used for healthcare related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19, as defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"). All recipients of PRF payments are required to comply with the reporting requirements described in the terms and conditions and as determined by HHS. The Company has submitted the required documents to meet reporting requirements for the applicable reporting periods. The Company received an audit inquiry letter from HHS related to one of the business units that received PRF payments, to which the Company has responded and submitted all requested information and believes that the payments received are substantiated and within the terms and conditions defined by HHS and continues to include these amounts as grant income. At this time, the Company is unaware of any other pending or upcoming audits or inquiries related to PRF received.
As a condition to receiving SLFRF, providers must agree to use the funds to respond to the PHE or its negative economic impacts, to respond to workers performing essential work by providing premium pay to eligible workers and to offset reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 PHE as stipulated by the states in which the funds were received. All recipients of SLFRF payments are required to comply with the reporting requirements that the state in which the funds originated has requested in order for the states to meet the requirements as described in the terms and conditions as determined by the Department of the Treasury. The Company has complied with all known reporting requirements to date.
11
The Company recognizes distributions from government grants as grant income or accrued expenses and other current liabilities in line with the loss of revenues or expenses for which the grants are intended to compensate when there is reasonable assurance that it has complied with the conditions associated with the grant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance ("ASU 2021-10"). This update requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. These disclosures include information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions, the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, the amounts applicable to each financial line item, and the significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies. ASU 2021-10 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2022 and will apply it to any government assistance received thereafter.
3. Segments
The Company’s reportable segments are identified based on a number of factors related to how its chief operating decision maker ("CODM") determines the allocation of resources and assesses the performance of the Company’s operations. The CODM uses service revenue, net and operating income as the measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources, and uses total assets as the measure of assets attributable to each segment. The Company's operating income for the reportable segments includes an allocated portion of corporate expenses to the respective segments and includes revenues and all other costs directly attributable to the specific segment. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic units that offer different services under different financial and operating models to the Company’s customers. The Company's CODM manages the Company under four reportable segments.
•NEMT - The Company's NEMT segment is the largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation programs for state governments and managed care organizations, or MCOs, in the U.S. This segment also holds the results of the Company's captive insurance program;

4. Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it transfers promised services to its customers and generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for these services. The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations over time and recognizes revenue over time instead of at points in time.
Revenue Contract Structure
NEMT Capitated Contracts (per-member-per-month)
Under capitated contracts, payors pay a fixed amount per eligible member per month. Capitation rates are generally based on expected costs and volume of services. We assume the responsibility of meeting the covered healthcare related transportation requirements based on per-member per-month fees for the number of eligible members in the payor’s program. Revenue is recognized based on the population served during the period. Certain capitated contracts have provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates. For contracts with reconciliation provisions, capitation payment is received as a prepayment during the month service is provided. These prepayments are reconciled based on actual cost and/or trip volume
13
and may result in refunds to the payor, or additional payments due from the payor. Contracts with risk corridor or profit rebate provisions allow for profit within a certain corridor and once we reach profit level maximums, we discontinue recognizing revenue and instead record a liability within the accrued contract payable account. This liability may be reduced through future increases in trip volume or periodic settlements with the payor. While a profit rebate provision could only result in a liability from this profit threshold, a risk corridor provision could potentially result in receivables if the Company does not reach certain profit minimums, which would be recorded in the reconciliation contract receivables account.
NEMT Fee-for-service Contracts
Fee-for-service ("FFS") revenue represents revenue earned under non-capitated contracts in which we bill and collect a specified amount for each service that we provide. FFS revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered and is reduced by the estimated impact of contractual allowances.
Personal Care Fee-for-service Contracts
Personal Care FFS revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from clients, patients and third-party payors for services rendered based on actual personal care hours provided. Payment for services received from third-party payors includes, but is not limited to, insurance companies, hospitals, governmental agencies and other home health care providers who subcontract work to the Company. Certain contracts are subject to retroactive review and possible adjustment by those payors based on the nature of the contract or costs incurred. The Company makes estimates of retroactive adjustments and considers these in the recognition of revenue in the period in which the related services are rendered. The difference between estimated settlement and actual settlement is reported in net service revenues as adjustments become known or as years are no longer subject to such audits, reviews, or investigations.
RPM per-member-per-month Contracts
RPM per-member-per-month ("PMPM") revenue consists of revenue from monitoring services provided to the customer. Under RPM contracts, payors pay per-enrolled-member-per-month based on enrolled membership. Consideration is generally fixed for each type of monitoring service and the contracts do not typically contain variable components of consideration. As such, the RPM segment recognizes revenue based on the monthly fee paid by customers.
Disaggregation of Revenue by Contract Type

Credit Facility
On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuing bank, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as an issuing bank, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Regions Bank, Bank of Montreal and Capital One, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders party thereto.

The Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2027 and the proceeds may be used (i) to finance working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (including to finance capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and investments). As of March 31, 2023, the
17
Company had $15.0 million of short-term borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility and had $32.8 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility. The interest rate for borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2023 was 10.5% per annum. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any balances outstanding on the Credit Facility and had $38.1 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility.
Under the Credit Facility, the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the Credit Facility or obtain incremental term loans from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) by an aggregate amount of up to $175.0 million, so long as, after giving effect to the relevant incremental facility, the pro forma secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00. The Company may prepay the Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, each as defined in the Credit Agreement. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by the Company at any time without penalty.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA Rate, as applicable and each as defined in the Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.75% to 3.50% in the case of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, each as defined in the Credit Agreement, and 0.75% to 2.50% in the case of the Alternate Base Rate loans, as defined in the Credit Agreement, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears in the case of Alternate Base Rate loans, on the last day of the relevant interest period in the case of Term Benchmark loans, and monthly in arrears in the case of RFR loans. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.30% to 0.50% and 1.75% to 3.50%, respectively, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. The Company's borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is currently limited by, among other covenants, compliance with the total net leverage ratio covenant of 5.00:1.00, which steps down to 4.50:1.00 beginning September 30, 2023.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s present and future material domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain material domestic subsidiaries that are excluded from being guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s or such guarantor’s respective assets. If an event of default occurs, the required lenders may cause the administrative agent to declare all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable upon the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. The Credit Agreement also contains a cross default to any of the Company’s indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $40.0 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023.

Awards granted under this category are based on the achievement of various targeted metrics as defined by the Plan. Stock-based compensation expense for PRSUs is recognized over the 3-year vesting period under the straight-line attribution method. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and recorded $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, with the remaining portion expected to be recognized over the remainder of the 3-year requisite service period.

Agencies associated with the programs and other third-party commercial payors periodically conduct extensive pre-payment or post-payment medical reviews or other audits of claims data to identify possible payments made or authorized other than in compliance with the requirements of Medicare or Medicaid. In order to conduct these reviews, documentation is requested from us and then that documentation is reviewed to determine compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the eligibility of clients to receive benefits, the appropriateness of the care provided to those clients, and the documentation of that care. Similarly, other state and federal governmental agencies conduct reviews and investigations to confirm our compliance with applicable laws where we operate, including regarding employment and wage related regulations and matters. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any regulatory reviews or other governmental surveys, audits or investigations, but management does not expect any ongoing surveys, audits or investigations involving the Company to have a material adverse effect on the business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company. Regardless of our expectations, however, surveys, audits or investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties and can have a material adverse impact on our Company due to, among other reasons, potential regulatory orders that inhibit our ability to operate our business, amounts paid as reimbursement or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and investigative costs.
Legal proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be or become involved in various lawsuits, some of which may seek monetary damages, including claims for punitive damages. Unless otherwise expressly stated, management does not expect any ongoing lawsuits involving the Company to have a material impact on the business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, however, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order precluding particular business practices or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies related to legal matters when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a range of reasonably possible losses can be estimated, the Company records an accrual for the most probable amount in the range. Due to the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of any legal proceeding, it may not be reasonably possible to estimate a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution. Legal fees related to all legal matters are expensed as incurred.
On September 27, 2022, Daniel Greenleaf, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, asserted claims in an arbitration against the Company. His claims allege that the Company breached Mr. Greenleaf’s employment agreement and include a tort claim against the Company. Mr. Greenleaf’s arbitration complaint seeks contractual, extra-contractual, and statutory damages. The Company disputes Mr. Greenleaf’s claims in their entirety and intends to vigorously contest these claims. Based on the status of the proceeding and the uncertainty of the outcome, the Company is unable to estimate a range of possible loss for this matter. The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of the arbitration will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations. An unfavorable outcome could, however, be material to the Company's operating results or cash flows for the period in which it occurs.
On August 6, 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, ModivCare Solutions, LLC (“ModivCare Solutions”), was served with a putative class action lawsuit filed against it by Mohamed Farah, the owner of transportation provider Dalmar Transportation, in the Western District of Missouri, seeking to represent all non-employee transportation providers contracted with ModivCare Solutions. The lawsuit alleges claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (the “FLSA”), and the Missouri Minimum Wage Act, and asserts that all transportation providers to ModivCare Solutions in the putative class should be considered ModivCare Solutions’ employees rather than independent contractors. On June 6, 2021, the Court conditionally certified as the putative class all current and former In Network Transportation Providers who, individually or through their
20
companies, were issued 1099 payments from ModivCare Solutions for providing non-emergency medical transportation services for ModivCare Solutions for the previous three years. Notice of the proposed collective class was issued on October 5, 2021, and potential members of the class had until January 3, 2022 to opt-in. Plaintiff moved for class certification on August 15, 2022, and ModivCare Solutions filed an opposition to class certification on September 6, 2022. On January 13, 2023, the matter was transferred with the consent of the parties and the court to binding arbitration. The parties have agreed on a settlement and are awaiting the arbitrator's approval. ModivCare Solutions believes that it is and has been in compliance in all material respects with the laws and regulations regarding the characterization of the transportation providers as independent contractors, and does not believe that the settlement arrangement, if approved by the arbitrator, or the ultimate outcome of this arbitration, if the settlement is not approved (which is not expected), will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
On January 21, 2019, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio unsealed a qui tam complaint, filed in December 2015, against Mobile Care Group, Inc., Mobile Care Group of Ohio, LLC, Mobile Care EMS & Transport, Inc. (collectively, the “Mobile Care Entities”) and ModivCare Solutions by Brandee White, Laura Cunningham, and Jeffery Wisier (the “Relators”) alleging that the Mobile Care Entities and indirectly ModivCare Solutions violated the federal False Claims Act, and seeking to recover damages, fees and costs under the federal False Claims Act, including treble damages, civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. None of the Relators were employed by ModivCare Solutions, and the federal government declined to intervene against ModivCare Solutions. Following motions and appeals made by the parties, the Relators and ModivCare Solutions executed a settlement agreement in March 2023 resolving all claims, including with respect to attorneys' fees. ModivCare Solutions does not believe that the settlement arrangement has had or will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.
In 2017, one of our Personal Care segment subsidiaries, All Metro Home Care Services of New York, Inc. d/b/a All Metro Health Care (“All Metro”), received a class action lawsuit in state court claiming that, among other things, it failed to properly pay live-in caregivers who stay in patients’ homes for 24 hours per day (“live-ins”). The Company currently pays live-ins for 13 hours per day as supported through a written opinion letter from the New York State Department of Labor (“NYSDOL”). A similar case involving this issue has been heard by the New York Court of Appeals (New York’s highest court), which on March 26, 2019, issued a ruling reversing earlier lower courts’ decisions that an employer must pay live-ins for 24 hours. The Court of Appeals agreed with the NYSDOL’s interpretation to pay live-ins 13 hours instead of 24 hours if certain conditions were being met. If the class action lawsuit on this matter is allowed to proceed, and is successful, All Metro may be liable for back wages and litigated damages going back to November 2011. All Metro filed its motion to oppose class certification of this matter and the matter was heard on June 23, 2022. The state court issued an order certifying the class on December 12, 2022. Mediation is scheduled for late June 2023. All Metro intends to defend itself vigorously with respect to this matter, believes that it is and has been in compliance in all material respects with the laws and regulations covering pay for live-in caregivers, and does not believe in any event that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Overview of Our Business
ModivCare Inc. ("ModivCare" or the "Company") is a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for payors and their members. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health, or SDoH, connect members to care, help health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve health outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation, or NEMT, personal care, and remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solutions, which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model in its NEMT segment includes NEMT core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transportation management. Additionally, its personal care services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting, including senior citizens and disabled adults. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring services include personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. ModivCare is further expanding its offerings to include meal delivery and working with communities to provide meals to food-insecure individuals.
ModivCare also holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operates under the Matrix Medical Network brand (“Matrix”). Matrix, which is included in our Corporate and Other segment, maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services, and a fleet of mobile health clinics that provide community-based care with advanced diagnostic capabilities and enhanced care options.

Business Outlook and Trends
Our performance is affected by a number of trends that drive the demand for our services. In particular, the markets in which we operate are exposed to various trends, such as healthcare industry and demographic dynamics. Over the long term, we believe there are numerous factors that could affect growth within the industries in which we operate, including:
•an aging population, which is expected to increase demand for healthcare services including required transportation to such healthcare services and in-home personal care and remote patient monitoring services;
•increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses that require active and ongoing monitoring of health data which can be accomplished at a lower cost and result in better health outcomes through remote patient monitoring services;
•a movement towards value-based care versus fee-for-service and cost plus care and budget pressure on governments, both of which may increase the use of private corporations to provide necessary and innovative services;
•increasing demand for in-home care provision, driven by cost pressures on traditional reimbursement models and technological advances enabling remote engagement, including remote monitoring and similar internet-based health related services;
•technological advancements, which may be utilized by us to improve services and lower costs, but may also be utilized by others, which may increase industry competitiveness; and
•MCO, Medicaid and Medicare plans increasingly are covering NEMT services for a variety of reasons, including increased access to care, improved patient compliance with treatment plans, social trends, and to promote SDoH, and this trend may be accelerated or reinforced by The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 ("H.R.133"), a component of which mandates that state Medicaid programs ensure that Medicaid beneficiaries have necessary transportation to and from health care providers.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in March 2020, we observed a material reduction in trip volume in our NEMT segment and a material reduction in volume of hours and visits in our Personal Care segment. Our RPM segment did not experience a direct material impact to operations or financial activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While this reduction in trip volume, service hours, and visits has continued to improve each year following the pandemic, structural changes in the industry as a result of the pandemic, predominantly related to an increase in the utilization of telehealth and virtual care, as well as ongoing constraints on the labor market, specifically related to the strain on healthcare professionals, have continued to impact the volume of services we are able to provide. For the NEMT segment, any ongoing impact to trip volume as a result of this structural change in the industry may have a negative financial impact on our transportation providers and may result in lower revenues as the Company adapts to this change in demand for transportation services and adapts to availability of transportation providers should any capacity constraints within our network of transportation providers arise. For the Personal Care segment, the shortage of caregivers will continue to impact the volume of service hours that can be provided while also driving increased wage rates, which limits the Company's ability to be profitable in contracts with set rates for various care services. Any depressed volumes as a result of the labor shortage and the strain on healthcare professionals could reduce the quality with which our caregivers provide services and could result in lower than expected revenue. Any of these circumstances and factors could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.
Furthermore, the impact and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are continuously evolving, and the continuation of the pandemic, any additional resurgence, or any long-term macroeconomic impacts that have arisen as a result of the pandemic could continue to change trends in the market.
Our business environment is competitive, the structural changes in our industry related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been lasting, the labor market for healthcare professionals remains constrained, and the market price for our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market continues to be volatile; the continuing effect of all or any of the foregoing could result, in future periods, in an impairment to the estimated fair value of the goodwill that has been established for our reporting units. As discussed elsewhere herein and under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2022, impairment tests may be required in advance of annual impairment testing if circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill of a reporting unit below such reporting unit’s carrying value. The Company monitors the performance of the business and the value of its stock price and reporting unit estimated fair values, among other relevant considerations, to determine if any impairments to goodwill could exist at any particular time. Furthermore, our management refines their business strategy throughout the year in order to address the competitive business environment and other market and industry conditions identified above, but there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful in avoiding future impairments to estimated goodwill fair values.

Results of Operations
The following results of operations include the accounts of ModivCare Inc. and our subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Revenues
Service revenue, net. Service revenue for our NEMT segment includes the revenue generated by providing non-emergency transportation services directly to our customers. These services are provided on either a capitated basis, which means we are paid on a per-member, per-month ("PMPM") basis for each eligible member, or on a fee-for-service ("FFS") basis, which means we are paid based on the volume of trips or services performed. We receive payments for our services from third-party payors, predominately made up of state Medicaid agencies and MCOs.
Under capitated contracts, payors pay a fixed amount per eligible member per month and we assume the responsibility of meeting the covered healthcare related transportation requirements for the number of eligible members in the payor's program. Revenue is recognized based on the number of members served during the period. For certain capitated contracts, we have provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors, and/or profit rebates. These contracts allow for periodic reconciliations based on actual cost and or/trip volume and may result in refunds to the payor, or additional payments due from the payor.
Under fee-for-service ("FFS") contracts, payors pay a specified amount for each service that we provide based on costs incurred plus an agreed-upon margin. FFS revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered and is reduced by the estimated impact of contractual allowances.
Service revenue for our Personal Care segment includes the revenue generated based on the hours incurred by our in-home caregivers to provide services to our customers, primarily on a FFS basis in which we earn a specified amount for each service that we provide. Payment for our Personal Care services is billed to third-party payors which include, but are not limited to, MCOs, hospitals, Medicaid agencies and programs and other home health care providers who subcontract the services to our caregivers.
Service revenue for our RPM segment includes the sale of monitoring equipment to our third-party distributors as well as revenue generated from the hours incurred by our Clinical Team for providing monitoring services to our customers, primarily on a PMPM basis for each eligible member. Payment for our monitoring services is billed to third-party payors which include, but are not limited to, national and regional health plans, government-funded benefit programs, healthcare provider organizations, and individuals.
Grant Income
Grant income. The Company has received distributions under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund ("PRF") and the ARPA Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Relief Fund ("SLFRF") targeted to providing economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operating Expenses
Service expense. Service Expense for our NEMT segment includes purchased transportation, operational payroll and other operational related costs. Purchased transportation includes the amounts we pay to third-party service providers and is typically dependent upon service volume. Operational payroll predominately includes our contact center operations, customer advocacy and transportation network team. Other operating expenses primarily include operational overhead costs, and operating facilities and related charges. Service expense for our Personal Care segment includes payroll and other operational related costs for our caregivers to provide in-home care. Service expense for our RPM segment primarily consists of salaries of employees in our contact centers, connectivity costs and occupancy costs.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for all segments consists principally of salaries for administrative employees that support the operations, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees.
24
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation within this caption includes infrastructure items such as computer hardware and software, office equipment, monitoring and vitals equipment, buildings, and leasehold improvements. Amortization expense is generated primarily from amortization of our intangible assets, including payor networks, trade names, developed technology, a non-compete agreement, an assembled workforce, and a New York LHCSA permit.
Other Expenses (Income)
Interest expense, net. Interest expense consists principally of interest accrued during the period ended March 31, 2023 on the Company’s borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and Senior Unsecured Notes, and amortization of deferred financing fees. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion of these borrowings.
Equity in net loss (income) of investee, net of tax. Equity in earnings of equity method investee consists of our proportionate share of equity earnings or losses from our Matrix equity investment, presented net of related taxes.
Income tax (benefit) provision. The Company is subject to federal taxation in the United States and state taxation in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Segment Reporting
Our segments reflect the manner in which our operations are organized and reviewed by management. Segment results are based on how our CODM manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance.
We operate four reportable business segments: NEMT, Personal Care, RPM, and Corporate and Other. The NEMT segment provides non-emergency medical transportation services throughout the country. The Personal Care segment provides non-medical personal care and home health services. The RPM segment provides remote patient monitoring solutions. The operating results of the Corporate and Other segment include activities related to executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and corporate development functions for each segment, as well as the results of the Matrix investment. The operating results of the NEMT, Personal Care and RPM segments include revenue and expenses generated and incurred by the segment, and the Corporate and Other segment includes expenses incurred in relation to the Corporate operations of Company

Service expense for Q1 2023 increased $91.0 million, or 19.8%, compared to Q1 2022 primarily due to higher purchased services costs in the NEMT segment of $66.5 million driven by higher third-party transportation costs.
26
Transportation and payroll costs increased primarily as a result of higher trip volume across multiple contracts and higher wage rates. This increase was also driven by higher service expense of $13.9 million in our Personal Care segment, primarily related to higher wage rates paid for our caregivers.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for Q1 2023 increased $2.9 million, or 3.8%, compared to Q1 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of personnel related expenses and integration activities.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for Q1 2023 increased $1.7 million or 7.3% compared to Q1 2022 primarily as a result of $1.2 million of additional depreciation and amortization expense at the RPM segment related to the assets acquired in May 2022 in the acquisition of GMM.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, for Q1 2023 and Q1 2022 was $16.0 million and $15.4 million, respectively. During Q1 2023, we incurred $8.1 million of interest expense related to the Notes due 2025 and $6.6 million related to the Notes due 2029. The remainder of the interest expense in Q1 2023 is related to interest and fees on the credit facility. Interest expense is recorded at our Corporate and Other segment.
Equity in net income of investee, net of tax. Our equity in net income of investee, net of tax, for Q1 2023 of $2.0 million and our equity in net income of investee, net of tax, of $0.5 million for Q1 2022 was a result of our proportional share of the net income or loss of Matrix and our investment in a captive insurance program.
Benefit for income taxes. Our effective tax rates from operations for Q1 2023 and Q1 2022 were tax benefits of 23.8% and 68.6%, respectively. For Q1 2023 and Q1 2022, the effective tax rates were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.

Our NEMT segment is the largest manager of NEMT programs for state governments and MCOs in the U.S.
Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net, increased by $68.5 million, or 17.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to a 15.3% increase in trip volume, a 4.7% increase in average monthly membership and higher rates per member as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Trip volume increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to 2022, as trip volume has continued to increase each year following the pandemic. The increase in average monthly membership drove higher revenue because a majority of our contacts are capitated and we receive monthly payments on a per member/fixed basis in return for full or partial risk of transportation volumes. While this increase in membership under these capitated contracts can lead to additional revenue, we also have certain capitated contracts that limit profit to within a certain corridor and once we reach the maximum profit level within the contract, we discontinue recognizing revenue and instead accrue a liability to refund the customer upon reconciliation at a later date. The increase in trip volume also increases revenue for our contracts that are structured as fee-for-service as higher trip volumes correlates to a larger number of services performed.

Our Remote Patient Monitoring segment is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions and manages a comprehensive suite of services, including personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions.
Service revenue, net. RPM contracts are generally structured as a fixed fee per enrolled member per month, and therefore revenue is generally driven by number of enrolled members. Service revenue, net, increased by $4.9 million, or 35.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily related to incremental revenue of $4.7 million from the GMM acquisition that occurred in May 2022.

Our Corporate and Other segment includes the Company's executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal, public reporting, and corporate development functions. This segment also includes the results of our equity investment in Matrix.
Our Corporate and Other segment includes costs incurred related to strategy and stewardship of the other operating segments. These expenses are primarily general and administrative expenses, with a small amount related to depreciation. The general and administrative expense increased by $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to March 31, 2022. This increase is primarily related to software implementation costs for ongoing system integration projects, including the Personal Care and RPM general ledger and personnel management system integrations. This balance has also increased due to consulting costs and litigation costs related to executive turnover.
Seasonality
Our NEMT segment's operating income and cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business, principally due to lower transportation demand during the winter season and higher demand during the summer season.
Our Personal Care segment’s operating income and cash flows also normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business, principally due to somewhat lower demand for in-home services from caregivers during the summer and periods with major holidays, as patients may spend more time with family and less time alone needing outside care during those periods.
Our RPM segment’s operating income and cash flows do not normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business.
Liquidity and capital resources
Short-term capital requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses, contract start-up costs on new revenue contracts and costs associated with our strategic initiatives. We expect to meet our cash requirements through available cash on hand, cash generated from operations, net of capital expenditures, and occasional borrowings under our Credit Facility. For information regarding our long-term capital requirements, see below under the caption "Liquidity".
Cash flow used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.7 million. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $13.4 million and $15.0 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We had restricted cash of $0.5 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Restricted cash amounts are not included in our balance of cash and cash equivalents in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, although they are included in the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
32
We may, from time to time, access capital markets to raise equity or debt financing for various business reasons, including acquisitions, repurchases of common stock, investments in our business and possible refinancing activity. The timing, term, size, and pricing of any such financing will depend on investor interest and market conditions, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing on terms acceptable to us at the time or at all.
YTD 2023 cash flows compared to YTD 2022
Operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $2.7 million for YTD 2023 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $71.5 million for YTD 2022. The decrease of $74.1 million was primarily a result of a decrease in cash provided by changes in working capital of $71.2 million. The working capital changes were related to a decrease in the change in accrued contract payables of $41.1 million primarily related to repayments on previously accrued contract payable amounts combined with lower liability reserves on certain risk corridor, profit rebate and reconciliation contracts due to higher trip volumes during YTD 2023. Also contributing to the decrease in working capital is a decrease in the accounts payable and accrued expenses balance of $52.1 million primarily related to timing of vendor payments and an increase in cash used for prepaid expenses and other of $9.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in the accounts receivable balance of $40.9 million, primarily related to lower receivables recorded on our reconciliation and corridor contracts as compared to YTD 2022.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $13.3 million in YTD 2023, which increased by $4.7 million as compared to YTD 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in cash spent on property and equipment.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.4 million for YTD 2023, compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.8 million for YTD 2022. The change of $16.2 million was primarily a result of proceeds from our short-term borrowing on our Credit Facility of $15.0 million during YTD 2023, compared to no proceeds from debt during YTD 2022.
Obligations and commitments
Senior Unsecured Notes. On November 4, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due on November 15, 2025 (the “Senior Notes due 2025”). Subsequently, on August 24, 2021, the Company issued an additional $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due on October 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029” and, together with the Senior Notes due 2025, the “Notes”). For information related to the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes, refer to Note 8 of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements”.
Credit Facility. On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuing bank, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as an issuing bank, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Regions Bank, Bank of Montreal and Capital One, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million. The Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans, letters of credit and alternative currency loans in amounts of up to $25.0 million, $60.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively. For information related to the Company's Credit Facility, refer to Note 8 of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements”.
Liquidity
Liquidity measures our ability to meet current and future cash flow needs on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We manage our liquidity position to meet our daily cash flow needs, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash of $12.8 million and accounts receivable and other receivables of $299.0 million. Liquid liabilities which totaled $660.3 million at period end as detailed in the table below, included $67.2 million in guarantees and letters of credit that are not actually expected to be paid in cash in the next 12 months. Other sources of liquidity include amounts currently available under our Credit Facility of up to approximately $160 million as of March 31, 2023, based on our total net debt leverage ratio covenant of 5.00:1.00.
In the ordinary course of business we have entered into contractual obligations and have made other commitments to make future payments. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, debt financing, and our Credit Facility. For

34
Our primary sources of funding include operating cash flows and access to capital markets. There are statutory, regulatory, and debt covenant limitations that affect our ability to access the capital market for funds. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations. Management continuously monitors our liquidity position and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Our management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, our management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on us.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes to the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements discussion previously disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We have exposure to interest rate risk mainly related to our Credit Facility, which has variable interest rates that may increase. We had $15.0 million of short-term borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility and $32.8 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2023. Interest rates on the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Facility vary, and accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA Rate, as applicable and each as defined in the Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin. We completed an interest rate risk sensitivity analysis with the assumption that the short-term borrowing amount that was outstanding as of March 31, 2023 was outstanding for the fiscal year with an assumed one-percentage point increase in interest rates. Based on this analysis, the one-percentage point increase would have an approximate $0.1 million negative impact on our pre-tax earnings.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company's management, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2023. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that, to the extent of the material weaknesses identified in internal control over financial reporting as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In light of the material weaknesses described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
We, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, are in the process of ongoing remediation efforts related to the material weaknesses previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our management continued updating certain internal controls and supporting processes to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The remediation plan put into place by management includes the hiring of a third party to lead the remediation efforts as well as the addition of resources within the organization to improve structure and help mitigate risks previously identified. Key focus areas have been identified as general information technology control (GITC) deficiencies, payroll controls, revenue process controls and risk assessment related to changes and business acquisitions.
To that effect, the Company has:
35
•Implemented a new personnel management system in 2023 after sunsetting the legacy system in which a weakness was identified and are in the process of designing a new suite of internal controls with appropriate authorities around the payroll process.
•Enhanced our risk assessment process to identify and assess changes in our internal control environment, specifically related to new information technology ("IT") systems and newly acquired companies.
•Continued to design, enhance and implement GITCs, including change management and logical access controls, to support process-level automated controls intended to ensure that information needed for the operation of manual process-level controls and financial reporting is accurate and complete.
The company is focused on projects that address processes and technologies to integrate each of the business segments into One ModivCare and standardize our control environment. Management is confident that the steps being taken to implement an effective control environment will remediate the material weaknesses identified. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the remediation plan has been implemented and there has been appropriate time for us to conclude through testing that the controls are designed and operating effectively. Management will continue to monitor the progress of these efforts to ensure remediation.
(c) Limitations on the effectiveness of controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time-to-time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We record accruals for outstanding legal matters when it is believed to be probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management, following consultation with legal counsel, does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of any such ongoing or anticipated matters to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. We cannot predict with certainty, however, the potential for or outcome of any litigation. Regardless of the outcome of any particular litigation and the merits of any particular claim, litigation can have a material adverse impact on us due to, among other reasons, any injunctive relief granted which could inhibit our ability to operate our business, amounts paid as damages or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and defense costs. Interested parties should refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, in this report for information concerning other potential contingent liabilities matters that do not rise to the level of materiality for purposes of disclosure hereunder.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The risks described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. The discussion of the risks included under that caption in our Annual Report remains current in all material respects, and there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report. The risk factors that we have discussed do not identify all risks that we face; our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
