ModivCare Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 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 ("SDoH") by connecting members to essential care services. By doing so, ModivCare helps health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve overall health outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation ("NEMT"), personal care services ("PCS"), and remote patient monitoring ("RPM") solutions, which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model in its NEMT segment includes the coordination of non-emergency medical transportation services supported by an infrastructure of core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing and claims 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, medication management and data-driven patient engagement solutions.
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.
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 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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
On May 11, 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") declared the end of the public health emergency ("PHE") for the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company has continued to experience increased trip volume, service hours, and patient visits each year following the pandemic, structural changes in the industry as a result of the pandemic,
9
as well as ongoing constraints on the labor market, specifically related to the strain on healthcare professionals, could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company continues to actively monitor the structural changes to the industry and the impact these 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 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"). Through ARPA the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund ("SLFRF") was established to send relief payments to state and local governments impacted by the pandemic to assist with responding to the 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 to and comply with any terms and conditions of such funding, as applicable. See discussion of grant income at Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
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 observability 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (net of allowance for credit losses), current assets, 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 9, Debt, for the fair value of our long-term debt.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) the loss or modification of significant contracts, (2) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (3) unanticipated competition, (4) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or (5) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price.
10
When evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company first performs qualitative assessments for each reporting unit to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment suggests that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs a quantitative assessment and compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value and to the extent the carrying value is greater than the fair value, the difference is recorded as an impairment in the consolidated statements of operations.
As a result of the Company's annual goodwill assessment during the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $183.1 million impairment of goodwill within its Personal Care and Remote Patient Monitoring reporting units. The Company determined that based on its qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, factors existed which required the Company to test its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. These factors included a decline in the market price of the Company's common stock, industry specific regulatory pressures such as Medicaid redetermination and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") proposed ruling on Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services, and general economic and market volatility. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative assessment and determined that the goodwill at its PCS and RPM reporting units was impaired. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional details.
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 lives of the software, ranging from 3 to 10 years.
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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, capitalized costs associated with CCA, net of accumulated amortization were $14.6 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The value of accumulated amortization as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $4.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, totaled $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, totaled $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it transfers promised services directly to its customers at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing these services. The Company's performance obligations are driven by its different segments of business and primarily consist of integrated service offerings to provide non-emergency medical transportation, personal care services, or remote monitoring services directly to its customers. The Company receives payment for providing these services from third-party payors that include federal, state, and local governmental agencies, managed care organizations, and private consumers. 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 PCS segment, the Company's performance obligation is to deliver patient care services in accordance with the nature and frequency of services outlined in 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 monitoring, vitals monitoring, and other monitoring services, as contractually agreed upon. The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations over time and recognizes revenue over time instead of at points in time which aligns the pattern of transfer of promised services with the value received by the customer for the performance completed to date.
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 revenue is recognized over each distinct service period, and fee-for-service ("FFS") contracts, under which the Company bills and collects a specified amount for each service that is provided and revenue is recognized using the right to invoice practical expedient. In the PCS segment, contracts are also FFS, and service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from patients and third-party payors for services rendered and revenue is recognized using the right to invoice practical expedient. Under RPM contracts, payors pay per-enrolled-member-per-month, based on enrolled membership, and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. 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 PCS 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 primarily 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. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company also filed amended payroll tax returns for 2020 and 2021 to claim refunds for Employee Retention Credits ("ERC"). ERC is a U.S. federal tax credit introduced to support businesses and organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic that was initially established under the CARES Act in 2020 and was later expanded and extended by subsequent legislation, including the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The Company received distributions from these government grants of approximately $6.5 million and $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which $0.6 million and $0.8 million were recognized as grant income during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with the remaining balance recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company received distributions of approximately $21.0 million and $10.4 million, respectively, of which $4.6 million was recognized as grant income during each of the the nine months ended September 30, 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 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 amounts received under PRF.
As a condition to receiving SLFRF distributions, 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.
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
The company did not adopt any material new accounting standards during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
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;
12
•PCS - The Company's PCS segment provides in home personal care services to State and Managed Medicaid, Medicare, and Private Pay patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing activities of daily living;
•RPM - The Company's RPM segment is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions, including personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions;
•Corporate and Other - The Company's Corporate and Other segment includes the costs associated with the Company's corporate operations as well as the results of an investment in innovation related to our data analytics capabilities that the Company made at the end of the first quarter of 2023, which contributes to service revenue and service expense. 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, the results of this investment in innovation, as well as the results of the Company's Matrix investment.

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
14
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 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.
PCS Fee-for-service Contracts
PCS 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 revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term based on the monthly fee paid by customers.
Disaggregation of Revenue by Contract Type
The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by contract type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

Revenue Adjustments
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a reduction of $0.8 million and an increase of $1.7 million in service revenue, respectively, from contractual adjustments relating to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods to which the payor agreed. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a reduction of $3.9 million and an increase of $6.5 million in service revenue, respectively, from contractual adjustments relating to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods to which the payor agreed.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company tests goodwill for impairment for its reporting units annually as of July 1 or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable.
Goodwill
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $183.1 million impairment of goodwill within its Personal Care and Remote Patient Monitoring reporting units. This impairment was driven primarily by macroeconomic factors, including a decline in the market value of the Company's common stock. After recording these impairments, the associated reporting units have $650.3 million of goodwill remaining. If, among other factors, (i) the Company's equity values were to decline significantly, (ii) the Company experienced additional adverse impacts associated with macroeconomic factors, including increases in our estimated weighted average cost of capital, or (iii) the adverse impacts stemming from competition, economic, regulatory or other factors were to cause the Company's results of operations or cash flows to be worse than currently anticipated, the Company could conclude in future periods that additional impairment charges of certain reporting units are required in order to reduce the carrying values of goodwill. Any such impairment charges could be significant.
The Company performed a quantitative test comparing the carrying value of the Company's reporting units with their respective fair value. The fair value of the Company's reporting units was estimated using both the income approach and the market valuation approach. The income approach produces an estimated fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of the cash flows the Company expects the reporting unit to generate in the future. Estimates included in the discounted cash flow model are primarily Level 3 inputs and include the discount rate, which the Company determines based on adjusting an industry-wide weighted-average cost of capital for size, geography, and company specific risk factors, long-term rates of growth and profitability of the Company’s business, working capital effects and planned capital expenditures. The market approach produces an estimated fair value of a reporting unit based on a comparison of the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded entities in similar lines of business. The Company’s significant estimates in the market approach include the selected similar companies with comparable business factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and return on investment and the multiples the Company applies to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit.
Changes in key assumptions from the prior year annual goodwill assessment and the resulting reduction in projected future cash flows included in the current year goodwill test resulted in a decrease in the fair values of the Company's PCS and RPM reporting units such that the fair value of each respective reporting unit was less than its respective carrying value. As a
18
result, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $137.3 million in the PCS reporting unit and $45.8 million in the RPM reporting unit, which is recorded in “Impairment of goodwill” on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. No further impairment was taken during the three months ended September 30, 2023. There was no such goodwill impairment charge in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment are presented in the following table (in thousands):
NEMT | PCS | RPM | Corporate and Other | Total | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Balance at December 31, 2022 | $ | 135,186 | $ | 552,775 | $ | 280,663 | $ | 30 | $ | 968,654 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Balance at September 30, 2023 | $ | 135,186 | $ | 415,444 | $ | 234,894 | $ | 30 | $ | 785,554 |
The accumulated impairment losses on goodwill totaled $279.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and $96.0 million as of December 31, 2022.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of acquired payor networks, trademarks and trade names, developed technology, non-compete agreements, licenses, and an assembled workforce. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets. These finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate an asset may be impaired. Based on the continued value of the definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired, the Company did not identify any circumstances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 that would require an impairment test for our intangible assets.

Total | $ | 982,630 | $ | 979,361 |
The Company pays interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes semi-annually in arrears. Principal payments are not required until the maturity date. Debt issuance costs of $14.5 million in relation to the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2025 were incurred and these costs were deferred and are amortized to interest cost over the term of the Notes. Debt issuance costs of $13.5 million were incurred in relation to the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2029 and these costs were deferred and are amortized to interest cost over the term of the Notes. As of September 30, 2023, $17.4 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs was netted against the long-term debt balance on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Notes as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $836.3 million and $896.6 million, respectively, which was determined based on quoted prices in active markets, and therefore designated as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2023.
Credit Facility
The Company is a party to the amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of February 3, 2022, (as amended, 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 and 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. 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).
On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement which amended and restated the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the Credit Agreement as follows: for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2023 through September 30, 2023, 5.25:1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2023 through March 31, 2024, 5.00:1.00; for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024, 4.75:1.00; and for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2024 and for the fiscal quarters ending thereafter, 4.50:1.00.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $83.0 million of short-term borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility and had $39.1 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility. The interest rate for borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2023 was 9.8% per annum. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any borrowings 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, provided that the lenders agree to increase their existing commitments or to participate in such incremental term loans. 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
20
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 for each fiscal period as amended in the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement.
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 September 30, 2023.
10. Stock-Based Compensation and Similar Arrangements
The Company provides stock-based compensation to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan allows the flexibility to grant or award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units including restricted stock units and performance awards to eligible persons.
Stock options. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for non-qualified stock options (“NQs”) of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and recognized a reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense for NQs of $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to forfeitures that occurred during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for NQs of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in general and administrative expense. At September 30, 2023, the Company had 87,388 stock options outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $106.51.
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and restricted stock units ("RSUs") of $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in general and administrative expense. The Company had 16,074 unvested RSAs and 285,472 unvested RSUs outstanding at September 30, 2023 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $80.47 and $43.86, respectively.
Performance-based share awards. The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") to align management’s compensation with the Company's financial performance and other operational objectives and to retain key employees. Awards granted under this category are based on the achievement of various targeted metrics as approved by the Compensation Committee and defined in the related PRSU Agreement. Stock-based compensation expense for PRSUs is recognized over the 3-year vesting period under the straight-line attribution method. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and recorded a reversal of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to forfeitures that occurred during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for PRSUs of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in general and administrative expense. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over the remainder of the 3-year requisite service period. The Company had 213,428 unvested PRSUs outstanding at September 30, 2023 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $43.74

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was a tax benefit of 28.6% and 33.9%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was a tax benefit of 2.1% and a tax provision of 21.7%, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rates for the benefits were significantly higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate for the benefit was significantly lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the nondeductible goodwill impairment. For the nine months ended September 30,
22
2022, the effective tax rate for the provision was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Surveys, audits and governmental investigations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be or become subject to surveys, audits and governmental investigations under or with respect to various governmental programs and state and federal laws. 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. 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 close 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 included a tort claim against the Company. Mr. Greenleaf’s arbitration complaint sought contractual, extra-contractual, and statutory damages. In May 2023, Mr. Greenleaf and the Company executed a settlement agreement related to both sides' claims in arbitration and a general release of all claims and the Company agreed to pay Mr. Greenleaf $9.6 million. The Company paid the settlement amount in full in May of 2023.
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 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. As of September 30, 2023, the parties have agreed on a settlement and are awaiting the arbitrator's approval.

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.
In 2017, one of our PCS 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 liquidated 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. The parties attempted to mediate their dispute in June 2023, but were unable to reach agreement on a settlement. 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 public and private payors and their members. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health ("SDoH") by connecting members to essential care services. By doing so, ModivCare helps health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve overall health outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation ("NEMT"), personal care services ("PCS"), and remote patient monitoring ("RPM") solutions, which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model in its NEMT segment includes the coordination of non-emergency medical transportation services supported by an infrastructure of core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing and claims 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 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.

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;
•a shift in membership dynamics as a result of Medicaid redetermination efforts, which may decrease membership levels at our NEMT segment;
•advancement of regulatory priorities, which include the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") proposed rule, Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services, which may lower profit margins at our PCS segment;
•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;
•MCO, Medicaid and Medicare plans increasing coverage of non-emergency medical transportation 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; and
•uncertain macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates, could have an effect on our debt and short-term borrowings, which may have a negative impact on our results.
On May 11, 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") declared the end of the public health emergency ("PHE") for the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company has continued to experience increased trip volume, service hours, and patient visits each year following the pandemic, structural changes in the industry as a result of the pandemic, as well as ongoing constraints on the labor market, specifically related to the strain on healthcare professionals, could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. For the NEMT segment, trip volume may have a negative impact on our transportation providers and may result in higher transportation costs as the Company adapts to this increase in demand for transportation services and to the availability of transportation providers, should any capacity constraints within our network of transportation providers arise. For the PCS 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. Additionally, changes in membership dynamics at the NEMT segment as a result of Medicaid redetermination and reduction in payor reimbursement rates at the PCS segment in an attempt to contain costs could limit the ability for the Company to generate revenue despite the Company's shift toward emphasizing the importance of value-based care. Any of these circumstances and factors could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business and 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, in future periods, 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 addition to the annual impairment testing as of July 1, 2023, 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 estimated fair values of its reporting units, among other relevant considerations, to determine if any impairments to goodwill could exist at any particular time. During our July 1, 2023 annual assessment of goodwill, we determined that based on our qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, factors existed which required us to test our goodwill for impairment. As a result of our quantitative assessment, we determined that the goodwill at our PCS and RPM reporting units was impaired. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional details.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Other than our change in accounting policy related to the change in the date of our annual goodwill test from October 1 to July 1, included in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Components of Results of Operations
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.
Our capitated contracts operate under either a Full-Risk or a Shared-Risk structure. Under Full-Risk contracts, which represent approximately 20% of our NEMT revenue, 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. Under Shared-Risk contracts, which represent approximately 65% of our NEMT revenue, 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. These shared-risk contracts also allow for margin stabilization, as generally the amount received per member per month is adjusted for the costs to provide the transportation.
Under fee-for-service ("FFS") contracts, which represent approximately 15% of our NEMT revenue, 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 PCS 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 PCS 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, and individuals.
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 PCS 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.
27
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.
Impairment of goodwill. We determined that based on our qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, qualitative factors existed which required us to test our goodwill for impairment. As a result of the impairment evaluation, we determined that the goodwill within our PCS and RPM reporting units was impaired during the second quarter of 2023.
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 and developed technology.
Other Expenses (Income)
Interest expense, net. Interest expense consists principally of interest accrued during the period ended September 30, 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 income (loss) 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 held at our Corporate and Other segment, presented net of related taxes, as well as the earnings of our insurance captive held at the NEMT segment.
Income tax (provision) benefit. 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, PCS, RPM, and Corporate and Other. The NEMT segment provides non-emergency medical transportation services throughout the country. The PCS 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, PCS 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 the Company
See Note 3, Segments, in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our segments.

Service revenue, net. Consolidated service revenue, net, for Q3 2023 increased $39.1 million, or 6.0%, compared to Q3 2022. This change is driven primarily by an increase in revenue of $26.2 million at our NEMT segment, with the remainder of the increase at our PCS and RPM segments. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
Grant income. The Company recognized income of approximately $0.6 million during Q3 2023 and $0.8 million during Q3 2022 related to government grant distributions received, primarily under the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF. These government grants are targeted to provide economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds were received by our PCS segment and are available to eligible providers who have healthcare-related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19.

Service expense for Q3 2023 increased $44.7 million, or 8.4%, compared to Q3 2022. This change is primarily due to higher purchased services costs for our NEMT segment of $23.5 million which is caused by an increased number of trips serviced when compared to Q3 2022, partially offset by lower cost per trip due to certain volume service commitments with
29
some of our larger transportation providers and cost savings due to our multi-modal strategy. Payroll and related costs increased by $15.0 million, primarily related to increased labor costs at our PCS segment, driven by an increase in hours worked and higher wage rates paid to our caregivers, further contributed to by higher wage rates paid to our call center employees at our NEMT segment. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for Q3 2023 decreased $5.7 million, or 7.6%, compared to Q3 2022. General and administrative expense, expressed as a percentage of service revenue, net decreased to 10.2% for Q3 2023 compared to 11.7% for Q3 2022. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization remained consistent from Q3 2022 to Q3 2023 with an increase of $0.4 million, or 1.6%.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, for Q3 2023 and Q3 2022 was $17.8 million and $15.6 million, respectively. During Q3 2023, we incurred $8.1 million and $6.6 million of interest expense related to the Senior Notes due 2025 and 2029, respectively. The remainder of the interest expense in Q3 2023 is related to interest and fees on the credit facility, which increased during Q3 2023 due to increased borrowing on the credit facility as compared to Q3 2022. Interest expense is recorded at our Corporate and Other segment.
Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax. Our equity in net loss of investee, net of tax, for Q3 2023 of $0.2 million and our equity in net loss of investee, net of tax, of $26.4 million for Q3 2022 was a result of our proportional share of the net income or loss of Matrix and our investment in a captive insurance program. The loss in Q3 2022 was the result of an asset impairment that occurred at Matrix during Q3 2022 compared to no asset impairment during Q3 2023.
Income tax (provision) benefit. Our effective tax rates from operations for Q3 2023 and Q3 2022 were a tax benefit of 28.6% and 33.9%, respectively. For both periods, the effective tax rates for the benefits were significantly higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.

Service expense for YTD 2023 increased $220.6 million, or 14.7%, compared to YTD 2022 primarily due to higher purchased services for our NEMT segment of $149.9 million related to an increase in transportation costs. Payroll and related
31
costs across all segments increased by $59.0 million, primarily related to increased labor costs paid to our caregivers and call center employees.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for YTD 2023 remained relatively consistent at a decrease of $3.0 million, or 1.3%, compared to YTD 2022. General and administrative expense, expressed as a percentage of service revenue, net decreased slightly to 11.2% for YTD 2023 compared to 12.5% for YTD 2022. See our Results of Operations - Segments, for further discussion.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization remained consistent from YTD 2022 to YTD 2023 with an increase of $3.3 million, or 4.4%.
Impairment of goodwill. Impairment of goodwill for YTD 2023 was $183.1 million and was driven by goodwill impairments that were recorded at our PCS and RPM reporting units during the second quarter of 2023. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for YTD 2023 was $50.8 million and for YTD 2022 was $46.4 million. During YTD 2023, we incurred $24.2 million and $19.9 million of interest expense related to the Senior Notes due 2025 and 2029, respectively. The remainder of the interest expense during YTD 2023 is related to interest and fees on the credit facility, which increased during YTD 2023 due to increased borrowing on the credit facility as compared to YTD 2022. Interest expense is recorded at our Corporate and Other segment.
Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax. Our equity in net income of investee, net of tax for YTD 2023 of $2.8 million and our equity in net loss of investee, net of tax for YTD 2022 of $28.0 million was a result of our proportional share of the net income or loss of Matrix and our investment in a captive insurance program. The loss in YTD 2022 was the result of an asset impairment that occurred at Matrix during Q3 2022 compared to no asset impairment during YTD 2023.
Income tax (provision) benefit. Our effective tax rates from operations for YTD 2023 and YTD 2022 were a tax benefit of 2.1% and a tax provision of 21.7%, respectively. The YTD 2023 effective tax rate for the benefit was significantly lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the nondeductible goodwill impairment. The YTD 2022 effective tax rate for the provision was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.

(1) These metrics are key performance indicators that management uses to evaluate our performance. Trends established in these metrics can be used to evaluate current operating results, identify trends affecting our business, determine the allocation of resources and understand the underlying drivers of costs and revenue for our business. We believe these metrics are useful to investors in evaluating and understanding our business but should not be used solely in assessing the Company’s performance. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented herein to fully evaluate and understand the business as a whole.
Our NEMT segment is the largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation programs for state governments and MCOs in the U.S.
Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net, increased by $26.2 million, or 5.7%, during Q3 2023 as compared to Q3 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to a 13.2% increase in revenue per member per month, which was driven by a 9.7% increase in trip volume. These two factors are correlated due to contract repricing and the partial pass-through of costs associated with our shared risk contracts. This increase to revenue was partially offset by a 6.6% decrease in average monthly members primarily due to Medicaid redetermination. Service revenue, net, increased by $142.9 million, or 10.9%, during YTD 2023 as compared to YTD 2022, primarily attributable to a 11.2% increase in revenue per member per month driven by a 12.1% increase in trip volume, partially offset by a 0.3% decrease in average monthly membership.
The change in revenue is impacted by both the change in average monthly members, as well we the rate received per member. The change in average monthly members is correlated to the change in revenue because a majority of our contracts are capitated, and we receive monthly payments on a per member per month basis in return for full or shared risk of transportation volumes. Declines in membership over the periods presented were anticipated and primarily related to Medicaid redetermination efforts, along with certain contract losses. While membership decreased, revenue increased due to increases in the average rate received per member, which increases in line with increases in utilization or trip volume in our shared risk contracts. As most of our capitated contracts have been restructured to a shared risk format, revenue increased despite the
33
decline in membership. Trip volume increases also positively affected revenue for fee-for-service contracts due to a larger number of services performed.

Service expense for our NEMT segment primarily consists of transportation costs paid to third party service providers, salaries of employees within our contact centers and operations centers, and occupancy costs. Service expense increased by $33.0 million, or 8.4%, for Q3 2023, as compared to Q3 2022, primarily related to higher purchased services of $23.5 million or 6.8%. Service expense increased by $176.8 million and 16.1% for YTD 2023, as compared to YTD 2022, primarily due to an increase in purchased services of $149.9 million or 16.0%. The increase in purchased services for both Q3 2023 and YTD 2023 is related to an increase in transportation costs driven by higher trip volume. Trip volume for QTD 2023 and YTD 2023 increased by 9.7% and 12.1%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. For YTD 2023, cost per trip increased by 3.5% due to increased wages for our transportation providers as compared to YTD 2022, however for QTD 2023, cost per trip decreased by 1.2% primarily due to cost savings from our multi-modal strategy, as compared to QTD 2022.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries for administrative employees that support the operations of the NEMT segment, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees. General and administrative expense decreased by $6.4 million, or 20.1%, for Q3 2023, as compared to Q3 2022, and by $15.1 million, or 14.7%, for YTD 2023, as compared to YTD 2022, primarily as a result of various cost savings initiatives which resulted in lower personnel and lower professional services costs, as well as lower legal costs related to a case that was settled in 2022.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.3 million, or 3.7%, for Q3 2023, as compared to Q3 2022, and decreased by $1.3 million, or 5.8%, for YTD 2023, as compared to YTD 2022, primarily as a result of certain intangible assets being fully amortized during the period.

Our PCS segment’s services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants and 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.
Service revenue, net. PCS contracts are generally structured as fee-for-service contracts, with revenue driven by hours worked by our personal care providers. Service revenue, net, increased by $10.8 million, or 6.4%, for Q3 2023, as compared to Q3 2022, primarily due to 2.3% higher hours worked by personal care providers in Q3 2023 as compared to Q3 2022, as well as 3.9% higher rates per member. Service revenue, net increased by $42.8 million, or 8.7%, for YTD 2023 as compared to YTD 2022, primarily due to 3.4% higher hours worked by personal care providers during YTD 2023 as compared to YTD 2022, as well as 5.1% higher rates per member.
Grant income. During Q3 2023 and Q3 2022, the Company recognized income for government grant distributions received of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, primarily from the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF.

Service expense for our PCS segment primarily consists of salaries for our employees who provide personal care services and it typically trends with the number of hours worked and cost per hour of service. Service expense for Q3 2023 increased by $10.3 million, or 7.8%, as compared to Q3 2022, primarily as a result of a 5.3% increase in service expense per hour, driven primarily by increased wage rates for our caregivers, predominately from wage pressures in New York, as well as a 2.3% increase in hours of service during Q3 2023. Service expense for YTD 2023 increased by $38.2 million or 10.1%, as compared to YTD 2022, primarily as a result of a 6.5% increase in service expense per hour and a 3.4% increase in hours of service during YTD 2023.

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 and the operating results of investments in innovation related to data analytics products and solutions, which contributes to our strategic investment in growth.
Service revenue, net and Service expense: At the end of the first quarter of 2023, we made an investment in innovation related to our data analytics capabilities within our Corporate and Other segment, which contributes to service revenue and service expense.
General and administrative expense and Depreciation and amortization: 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 minimal amount related to depreciation. The general and administrative expense increased by $2.6 million and $17.9 million for Q3 2023 as compared to Q3 2022. This increase is primarily related to software implementation costs for ongoing system integration projects, including the PCS 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 PCS 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 used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $57.3 million. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $8.6 million and $15.0 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We had restricted cash of $0.5 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 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.
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,
39
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 $57.3 million for YTD 2023 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $45.5 million for YTD 2022. The decrease of $102.9 million was primarily a result of a decrease in cash provided by changes in working capital of $94.2 million. The working capital changes were related to an increase in cash paid for contract payables of $22.9 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 cash received from contract receivables of $22.6 million primarily related to a build of receivables related to certain risk corridor, profit rebate, and reconciliation contracts, as well as an increase in the cash paid for accounts payable and accrued expenses of $58.3 million, primarily related to timing of vendor payments. These working capital changes are partially offset by an increase in cash related to an increase in accrued transportation costs of $19.3 million, primarily related to timing of payments to our transportation providers, as compared to YTD 2022.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $31.1 million in YTD 2023, which decreased by $73.2 million as compared to YTD 2022, primarily as a result of acquisition activity during YTD 2022 related to an acquisition made under our RPM segment.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $82.1 million for YTD 2023, compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.8 million for YTD 2022. The change of $83.9 million was primarily a result of proceeds from our short-term borrowing on our Credit Facility of $83.0 million during YTD 2023, compared to no proceeds from debt or other short-term borrowings 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”).

For information related to the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes, refer to Note 9 of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements”.
Credit Facility. The Company is a party to the amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of February 3, 2022, (as amended, 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.

On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement which amended and restated the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio under the Credit Agreement. For information related to the Company's Credit Facility, refer to Note 9 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 $8.1 million and accounts receivable, contract receivables, and other receivables of $340.8 million. Liquid liabilities which totaled $691.7 million at period end as detailed in the table below, included $68.5 million in guarantees and letters of credit that are not 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 $164.0 million as of September 30, 2023 based on our total net debt leverage ratio covenant of 5.25:1.00, and expected future cash generated from operations.
40
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 additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements— Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” included in Part I, Item I of this report.
The Company has cash requirements of $691.7 million due in one year or less in addition to $1,245.2 million due in more than one year as of September 30, 2023. The following is a summary of our future cash requirements for the next twelve months and the period extending beyond twelve months as of September 30, 2023 (in thousands):

(1)See Note 9 of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further detail of our Senior Unsecured Notes and the timing of expected future payments. Interest payments on our Senior Unsecured Notes are typically paid semi-annually in arrears and have been calculated at the rates fixed as of September 30, 2023. Interest payments on our short-term borrowings have been calculated by taking the expected borrowing on the Credit Facility for the next year at the interest rate of 9.8%.
(2)See Note 4 of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further detail of our contracts payable.
(3)See Note 1 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed on March 7, 2023 for further detail of our accrued transportation cost.
(4)Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
(5)The operating leases are for office space. Certain leases contain periodic rent escalation adjustments and renewal options. See Note 17 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed on March 7, 2023 for further detail of our operating leases.
(6)Letters of credit (“LOCs”) are guarantees of potential payments to third parties under certain conditions. Guarantees include surety bonds we provide to certain customers to protect against potential non-delivery of our non-emergency transportation services. Our LOCs shown in the table were provided by our Credit Facility and reduced our availability under the related Credit Agreement. The surety bonds and LOC amounts in the above table represent the amount of commitment expiration per period.
(7)The purchased service commitment includes the maximum penalty we would incur if we do not meet our minimum volume commitment over the remaining term of the agreement under certain contracts. See Note 19 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed on March 7, 2023 for further detail of our purchased service commitment.
(8)Short-term borrowings shown in the table were provided by our Credit Facility and reduced our availability under the related Credit Agreement. See Note 9 of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further detail of our Credit Facility.
41
(9)These include other current liabilities reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023, including accounts payable and accrued expenses as detailed at Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements”.
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 $83.0 million of short-term borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility and $39.1 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility at September 30, 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 September 30, 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 $0.8 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 September 30, 2023. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 working with our third-party specialist to lead the remediation efforts as well as the addition of resources within the
42
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:
•Designed and implemented a new suite of internal controls with appropriate authorities around the payroll process at the NEMT and Corporate and Other segments.
•Continued to execute our enhanced 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. Given the nature and complexity of the integration, management expects that the test of operating effectiveness of remediation will extend into 2024 for the PCS segment. 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 13, 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.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, none of our officers or directors adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”
