Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements concerning our expectations regarding industry and macroeconomic trends and our operating performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. If any of these risks materialize, or if any of our assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results and developments may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, those set forth in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our “Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. We caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

OPTION CARE HEALTH, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Corporate Organization and Business — HC Group Holdings II, Inc. (“HC II”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 7, 2015, with its sole shareholder being HC Group Holdings I, LLC. (“HC I”). On April 7, 2015, HC I and HC II collectively acquired Walgreens Infusion Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries from Walgreen Co., and the business was rebranded as Option Care, Inc. (“Option Care”).
On March 14, 2019, HC I and HC II entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) to merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioScrip, Inc. (“BioScrip”) (the “Merger”), a national provider of infusion and home care management solutions, which was completed on August 6, 2019 (the “Merger Date”). Following the close of the transaction, BioScrip was rebranded as Option Care Health. The combined Company’s stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market as of March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, HC I completed a secondary offering of 13,000,000 shares of common stock. In addition to this secondary offering, the Company repurchased 2,475,166 shares from HC I on March 3, 2023 under the Company’s share repurchase program. See Note 15, Stockholders’ Equity, for further discussion of the Company’s share repurchase program. Following these transactions, HC I holds approximately 6% of the common stock of the Company.
Option Care Health, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, provides infusion therapy and other ancillary health care services through a national network of 95 full service pharmacies and 73 stand-alone ambulatory infusion suites. The Company contracts with managed care organizations, third-party payers, hospitals, physicians, and other referral sources to provide pharmaceuticals and complex compounded solutions to patients for intravenous delivery in the patients’ homes or other nonhospital settings. The Company operates in one segment, infusion services.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial reporting. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes to the financial statements required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2022 audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as presented in our Form 10-K.
Principles of Consolidation — The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Option Care Health, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has investments in companies that are 50% owned and are accounted for as equity-method investments. The Company’s share of earnings from equity-method investments is included in the line entitled “Equity in earnings of joint ventures” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Equity-Method Investments within Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion of the Company’s equity-method investments.
10
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2023, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets — Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets are rebates receivable from pharmaceutical and medical supply manufacturers of $48.3 million and $53.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Equity-Method Investments — The Company’s investments in certain unconsolidated entities are accounted for under the equity method. The balance of these investments is included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of the investments was $18.3 million and $19.4 million, respectively. The balance of these investments is increased to reflect the Company’s capital contributions and equity in earnings of the investees. The balance of these investments is decreased to reflect the Company’s equity in losses of the investees and for distributions received that are not in excess of the carrying amount of the investments. The Company’s proportionate share of earnings or losses of the investees is recorded in equity in earnings of joint ventures in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company’s proportionate share of earnings was $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Distributions from the investees are treated as cash inflows from operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received a distribution of $2.5 million from the investees. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not receive a distribution from the investees. See Note 16, Related-Party Transactions, for discussion of related-party transactions with these investees.
Concentrations of Business Risk — The Company generates revenue from managed care contracts and other agreements with commercial third-party payers. Revenue related to the Company’s largest payer was approximately 14% and 15% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no other managed care contracts that represent greater than 10% of revenue for the periods presented.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 12% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue was reimbursable through direct government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately 11% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable was related to these programs. Governmental programs pay for services based on fee schedules and rates that are determined by the related governmental agency. Laws and regulations pertaining to government programs are complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change in the near term.
The Company does not require its patients or other payers to carry collateral for any amounts owed for goods or services provided. Other than as discussed above, concentration of credit risk relating to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the Company’s diversity of patients and payers. Further, the Company generally does not provide charity care; however, Option Care Health offers a financial assistance program for patients that meet certain defined hardship criteria.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 72% and 75%, respectively, of the Company’s pharmaceutical and medical supply purchases were from four vendors. Although there are a limited number of suppliers, the Company believes that other vendors could provide similar products on comparable terms. However, a change in suppliers could cause delays in service delivery and possible losses in revenue, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or operating results. Although there remains some uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, as of March 31, 2023, the Company has been able to maintain adequate levels of supplies and pharmaceuticals to support its operations.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Rochester Home Infusion, Inc. — In August 2022, pursuant to the stock purchase agreement dated June 10, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Rochester Home Infusion, Inc. (“RHI”) for a purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $27.4 million.
The allocation of the purchase price of RHI was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, with the total purchase price being allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on the relative fair value of each asset and liability. The following is a final allocation of the consideration transferred to acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, net of cash acquired, as of March 31, 2023 (in thousands):
| Amount | ||||||||
| Accounts receivable | $ | 686 | ||||||
| Intangible assets | 5,449 | |||||||
| Other assets | 394 | |||||||
| Accounts payable and other liabilities | (434) | |||||||
| Fair value identifiable assets and liabilities | 6,095 | |||||||
| Goodwill (1) | 21,323 | |||||||
| Cash acquired | 201 | |||||||
| Purchase price | 27,619 | |||||||
| Less: cash acquired | (201) | |||||||
| Purchase price, net of cash acquired | $ | 27,418 | ||||||
(1) Goodwill is attributable to cost synergies from procurement and operational efficiencies and elimination of duplicative administrative costs.

4. REVENUE
The following table sets forth the net revenue earned by category of payer for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

| Net revenue | $ | 1,015,848 | $ | 915,784 | |||||||
5. INCOME TAXES
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded tax expense of $15.0 million and $11.0 million, respectively, which represents an effective tax rate of 27.7% and 26.6%, respectively. The variance in the Company’s effective tax rate of 27.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the federal statutory rate of 21%, is primarily attributable to the difference between federal and state tax rates, as well as various non-deductible expenses. The variance in the Company’s effective tax rate of 26.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the federal statutory rate of 21%, is primarily attributable to current and deferred state taxes as well as various non-deductible expenses.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance of $13.1 million against certain state net operating losses. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. In making this assessment, the Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, including the effect in available carryback and carryforward periods, projected taxable income, and tax-planning strategies. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates all positive and negative evidence in determining if the valuation allowance is fairly stated.
The Company’s tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $15.0 million consists of quarterly federal and state tax liabilities as well as recognized deferred federal and state tax expense. The Company’s tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $11.0 million consists of quarterly tax liabilities attributed to specific state taxing authorities as well as recognized deferred federal and state tax expense.
The Company has accumulated federal net operating loss carryovers that are subject to one or more Section 382 limitations. This may limit the Company’s ability to utilize its federal net operating losses.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share for its common stock. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive securities.
The earnings are used as the basis of determining whether the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 includes the effect of shares that would be issued in connection with warrants, stock options, restricted stock awards and performance stock unit awards, as these common stock equivalents are dilutive to the earnings per share recorded in those periods. As of March 31, 2023, there were 871,491 stock option awards, 342,894 restricted stock awards and 90,159 performance stock unit awards outstanding that were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as they would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2022, there were 457,752 warrants, 770,303 stock option awards, and 269,670 restricted stock awards outstanding that were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as they would be anti-dilutive.

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivative financial instruments for hedging and non-trading purposes to limit the Company’s exposure to increases in interest rates related to its variable interest rate debt. Use of derivative financial instruments in hedging programs subjects the Company to certain risks, such as market and credit risks. Market risk represents the possibility that the value of the derivative financial instrument will change. In a hedging relationship, the change in the value of the derivative financial instrument is offset to a great extent by the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. Credit risk related to a derivative financial instrument represents the possibility that the counterparty will not fulfill the terms of the contract. The notional, or contractual, amount of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the Company’s exposure due to credit risk. Credit risk is monitored through established approval procedures, including reviewing credit ratings when appropriate.
In October 2021, the Company entered into an interest rate cap hedge with a notional amount of $300 million for a 5-year term beginning November 30, 2021. The hedge partially offsets risk associated with the First Lien Term Loan’s variable interest rate. The interest rate cap instrument perfectly offsets the terms of the interest rates associated with the variable interest rate of the First Lien Term Loan.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements are determined by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy places the highest priority on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and gives the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The categories within the valuation hierarchy are described as follows:
•Level 1 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or 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.
•Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.
While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
First Lien Term Loan: The fair value of the First Lien Term Loan is derived from a broker quote on the loans in the syndication (Level 2 inputs). See Note 10, Indebtedness, for further discussion of the carrying amount and fair value of the First Lien Term Loan.
Senior Notes: The fair value of the Senior Notes is derived from a broker quote (Level 2 inputs). See Note 10, Indebtedness, for further discussion of the carrying amount and fair value of the Senior Notes.
Interest Rate Cap: The fair value of the interest rate cap is derived from the interest rates prevalent in the market and future expectations of those interest rates (Level 2 inputs). The Company determines the fair value of the investments based on quoted prices from third-party brokers. See Note 11, Derivative Instruments, for further discussion of the fair value of the interest rate cap.
Money Market Funds: The fair value of the money market funds is derived from the closing price reported by the fund sponsor and classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets (Level 1 inputs).
There were no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in legal proceedings and is subject to investigations, inspections, audits, inquiries, and similar actions by governmental authorities, arising in the normal course of the Company’s business. Some of these suits may purport or may be determined to be class actions and/or involve parties seeking large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages, and may remain unresolved for several years. From time to time, the Company may also be involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving antitrust, tax, contract, intellectual property, and other matters. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized.
The results of legal proceedings are often uncertain and difficult to predict, and the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial, regardless of the outcome. The Company believes that its defenses and assertions in pending legal proceedings have merit and does not believe that any of these pending matters, after consideration of applicable reserves and rights to indemnification, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
However, substantial unanticipated verdicts, fines, and rulings may occur. As a result, the Company may from time to time incur judgments, enter into settlements, or revise expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and/or its cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to "Option Care Health," the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Option Care Health, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) is intended to assist the reader in understanding and assessing significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and financial condition. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”). Certain statements in this Item 2 of Part I of this Form 10-Q, and in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our “Form 10-K”), may cause our actual results, financial position, and cash and cash equivalents generated from operations to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
Option Care Health, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, provides infusion therapy and other ancillary health care services through a national network of 168 locations around the United States. The Company contracts with managed care organizations, third-party payers, hospitals, physicians, and other referral sources to provide pharmaceuticals and complex compounded solutions to patients for intravenous delivery in the patients’ homes or other nonhospital settings. Our services are provided in coordination with, and under the direction of, the patient’s physician. Our multidisciplinary team of clinicians, including pharmacists, nurses, and dietitians work with the physician to develop a plan of care suited to each patient’s specific needs. We provide home infusion services consisting of anti-infectives, nutrition support, bleeding disorder therapies, immunoglobulin therapy, and other therapies for chronic and acute conditions.
On April 7, 2015, HC I and HC II collectively acquired Walgreens Infusion Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries from Walgreen Co., and the business was rebranded as Option Care.
On March 14, 2019, HC I and HC II entered into the Merger Agreement to merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioScip, a national provider of infusion and home care management solutions, which was completed on August 6, 2019. Following the close of the transaction, BioScrip was rebranded as Option Care Health.
24
Update on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The primary operations of the Company focus on providing infusion therapy services, however, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the healthcare ecosystem and the Company such that, beginning in March 2020, we have been disrupted by both positive and negative referral patterns and have experienced challenges in our staffing, increased pricing and periodic inability to procure personal protection equipment, supplies and key drugs. The Company anticipates that new variants could affect its operations for an extended period; however, at this time we cannot confidently forecast the duration or the ultimate financial impact on our operations.
See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” under the caption “The COVID-19 pandemic and other potential pandemic events could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position” included in our Form 10-K for further discussion of risks.
25
Composition of Results of Operations
The following results of operations include the accounts of Option Care Health and our subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Gross Profit
Gross profit represents our net revenue less cost of revenue.
Net Revenue. Infusion and related health care services revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from third-party payers and patients for goods sold and services rendered. When pharmaceuticals are provided to a patient, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the goods. When nursing services are provided, revenue is recognized when the services are rendered.
Due to the nature of the health care industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record revenue and accounts receivable at their net realizable values at the time goods or services are provided. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payers may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists of the actual cost of pharmaceuticals and other medical supplies dispensed to patients. In addition to product costs, cost of revenue includes warehousing costs, purchasing costs, depreciation expense relating to revenue-generating assets, such as infusion pumps, shipping and handling costs, and wages and related costs for the pharmacists, nurses, and all other employees and contracted workers directly involved in providing service to the patient.
The Company receives volume-based rebates and prompt payment discounts from some of its pharmaceutical and medical supplies vendors. These payments are recorded as a reduction of inventory and are accounted for as a reduction of cost of revenue when the related inventory is sold.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
The following tables present selected consolidated comparative results of operations from Option Care Health’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Gross Profit
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | Variance | |||||||||||||||||||||
| (in thousands, except for percentages) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net revenue | $ | 1,015,848 | $ | 915,784 | $ | 100,064 | 10.9 | % | |||||||||||||||

| Gross profit margin | 22.5 | % | 21.9 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
The increase in net revenue was primarily driven by organic growth in the Company’s portfolio of therapies, consisting of acute revenue that had mid-single-digit growth relative to the prior year while chronic revenue grew in the low-double-digits. Acute growth was driven primarily due to collaborating with referral sources, which increased the volume of patient services. Acquisition related growth accounted for approximately 1% of the increase in both net revenue and gross profit. The increase in net revenue was partially offset by the divestiture of respiratory therapy assets as well as therapies related to the treatment of ALS and pre-term labor. The increase in cost of revenue and gross profit was primarily driven by the growth in revenue. Revenue growth outpaced the increase in cost of revenue primarily due to our disciplined procurement strategies and efficient utilization of our infusion suite network, partially offset by inflationary impacts.
Operating Expenses

| Total operating expenses | $ | 162,380 | $ | 148,691 | $ | 13,689 | 9.2 | % | |||||||||||||||
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits as a result of acquired team members and inflationary pressures, however, these expenses have remained consistent as a percentage of revenue at 14.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 due to the Company’s focus on controlling spending leverage.

The increase in interest expense, net during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to increases in the First Lien Term Loan’s variable interest rate as compared to three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by interest income generated from our cash and cash equivalents. See Note 10, Indebtedness, of the consolidated financial statements for further information.
The increase in equity in earnings of joint ventures was primarily attributable to the performance of the joint ventures.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $15.0 million and $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which represents an effective tax rate of 27.7% and 26.6%, respectively. The variance in the Company’s effective tax rate of 27.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the federal statutory rate of 21%, is primarily attributable to the difference between federal and state tax rates, as well as various non-deductible expenses. The variance in the Company’s effective tax rate of 26.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the federal statutory rate of 21%, is primarily attributable to current and deferred state taxes as well as various non-deductible expenses.

The change in net income was primarily attributable to organic growth from additional revenue related to the factors described in the above sections.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the change in unrealized (loss) gain on cash flow hedges, net of income taxes, was related to the change in fair market value of the $300.0 million interest rate cap hedge executed in October 2021.
Net comprehensive income decreased to $35.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net comprehensive income of $41.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the impact of the fair value of the interest rate cap hedge, partially offset by the increase in net income, as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $297.8 million and $294.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $219.5 million of borrowings available under its credit facilities (net of $5.5 million undrawn letters of credit issued and outstanding). As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $168.3 million of borrowings available under its credit facilities (net of $6.7 million undrawn letters of credit issued and outstanding). During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s positive cash flows from operations enabled investments in pharmacy and information technology infrastructure to support growth and create additional capacity in the future, as well as to pursue acquisitions and share repurchases.
The Company’s primary uses of cash and cash equivalents include supporting our ongoing business activities, investment in capital expenditures in both facilities and technology, the pursuit of acquisitions, and share repurchases. Ongoing operating cash outflows are associated with procuring and dispensing drugs, personnel and other costs associated with servicing patients, as well as paying cash interest on outstanding debt. Ongoing investing cash flows are primarily associated with capital projects related to business acquisitions, the improvement and maintenance of our pharmacy facilities and investment in our information technology systems. Ongoing financing cash flows are primarily associated with the quarterly principal payments on our outstanding debt, along with potential future share repurchases.
Our business strategy includes the deployment of capital to pursue acquisitions that complement our existing operations. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities and view acquisitions as a key part of our growth strategy. The Company historically has funded its acquisitions with cash and cash equivalents with the exception of the Merger. The Company may require additional capital in excess of current availability in order to complete future acquisitions. It is impossible to predict the amount of capital that may be required for acquisitions, and there is no assurance that sufficient financing for these activities will be available on acceptable terms.
30
Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company’s ability to make principal and interest payments on any borrowings under our credit facilities and our ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash and cash equivalents in the future, which to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. Based on our current level of operations and planned capital expenditures, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and expected cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements over the next 12 months and beyond. We may require additional borrowings under our credit facilities and alternative forms of financings or investments to achieve our longer-term strategic plans.
Credit Facilities
Effective January 13, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the ABL Facility, to among other things, increase the amount of borrowing availability by $50.0 million to $225.0 million total borrowing availability and to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the new reference rate. The ABL Facility provides for borrowings up to $225.0 million and matures on October 27, 2026. The ABL Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either (i) a base rate determined in accordance with the ABL Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin, which is equal to between 0.25% and 0.75% based on the historical excess availability as a percentage of the Line Cap (as such term is defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) and (ii) SOFR (or a comparable successor rate, with a floor of 0.00% per annum) plus an applicable margin, which is equal to between 1.25% and 1.75% based on the historical excess availability as a percentage of the Line Cap. The Company had $5.5 million of undrawn letters of credit issued and outstanding, resulting in net borrowing availability under the ABL Facility of $219.5 million as of March 31, 2023.
The principal balance of the First Lien Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments of $1.5 million plus interest, with a final payment of all remaining outstanding principal due on October 27, 2028. The quarterly principal payments commenced in March 2022. Interest on the First Lien Term Loan is payable monthly on either (i) LIBOR (or a comparable successor rate, with a floor of 0.50% per annum) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) a base rate determined in accordance with the new First Lien Term Loan agreement, plus 1.75% for Base Rate Loans. The First Lien Term Loan agreement addresses reference rate reform and establishes SOFR as the benchmark replacement when LIBOR ceases to exist.
The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.375% per annum and are payable semi-annually in arrears on October 31 and April 30 of each year, which began on April 30, 2022. The Senior Notes mature on October 31, 2029.
Interest payments over the course of long-term debt obligations total an estimated $386.5 million based on final maturity dates of the Company’s credit facilities. Interest payments are calculated based on the LIBOR rate as of March 31, 2023. Actual payments are based on changes in LIBOR and exclude the interest rate cap derivative instrument.

| Cash and cash equivalents - end of period | $ | 297,776 | $ | 145,600 | $ | 152,176 | |||||||||||
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to higher net income, changes in inventory, changes on accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by certain accruals and timing of vendor payments during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The increase in cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily due the amount of investments in our pharmacies and infrastructure as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily related to the Company’s repurchase of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023, with no comparable activity during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period presented. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates, and different assumptions or conditions may yield different estimates.
