R1 RCM Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
1. Business Description and Basis of Presentation
Business Description
R1 RCM Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers. The Company helps healthcare providers generate sustainable improvements in their operating margins and cash flows while also enhancing patient, physician, and staff satisfaction for its customers.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023, the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the cash flows of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. These financial statements include the accounts of R1 RCM Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments in the preparation of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For a more complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other information, the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Disclosures
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual sale restriction on an equity security should not be considered in measuring the security’s fair value. The Company will adopt ASU 2022-03 prospectively effective January 1, 2024 and is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
2. Acquisitions
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of the acquisition. The difference between the purchase price amount and the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill on the balance sheet if the purchase price exceeds the estimated net fair value or as a bargain purchase gain on the income statement if the purchase price is less than the estimated net fair value. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified up to one year after the acquisition date as more information is obtained about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Prior Acquisitions
During 2022, the Company acquired the following business:
Company Name | Description of the Business | Description of the Acquisition | ||||||
Revint Holdings, LLC (“Cloudmed”) | Provider of revenue intelligence solutions | Purchased all outstanding equity interests in exchange for shares of common stock of the Company and cash. The shares of common stock received by the Cloudmed sellers are subject to an 18-month lock-up period, which expires December 21, 2023. In addition, the Company replaced certain pre-acquisition awards held by certain Cloudmed sellers with restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of the Company. |
The purchase price has been provisionally allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is pending the completion of various elements, including gathering further information to ensure the completeness of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the finalization of an independent appraisal of their respective fair values, which is subject to final review by the Company’s management. Accordingly, management considers the balances shown in the following table to be preliminary, and there could be adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, including changes in our amortization expense related to the valuation of intangible assets acquired and their respective useful lives, among other adjustments.
The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is:
Purchase Price Allocation | ||||||||
Total purchase consideration | $ | 3,281.6 | ||||||
Allocation of consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | ||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 32.1 | ||||||

Measurement period adjustments
The Company had various measurement period adjustments due to additional information received since December 31, 2022. The significant adjustments included a reduction to deferred income tax liabilities and a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $9.8 million related to updated tax return information.
RevWorks
In 2020, the Company purchased certain assets relating to the RevWorks services business from Cerner Corporation. In accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company paid the first deferred payment of $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. The remaining deferred payment of $12.5 million was payable on the second anniversary of the closing date (August 2022) and is included in other accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023 as it had not been paid as of such date.
The two deferred payments related to the RevWorks acquisition were contractual obligations of the Company; however, they are refundable to the Company if certain RevWorks customer revenue targets defined in the purchase agreement for the first two years following the acquisition are not achieved. The parties are currently engaged in arbitration to finalize the remaining deferred payment and contingently refundable consideration amounts. The contingently refundable consideration is stated at an amount approximating the amount expected to be realized and is included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023.
Pro Forma Results
The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of the Company as though the Cloudmed acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2021. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the actual consolidated results had the acquisition occurred as of that date or of the future consolidated operating results for any period. Pro forma results are:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 | ||||||||
Net services revenue | $ | 486.4 | ||||||
Net income | $ | 1.4 |
Adjustments were made to earnings to adjust depreciation and amortization to reflect the fair value of identified assets acquired, to adjust share-based compensation expense for awards granted in connection with the acquisition, to record the effects of extinguishing the debt of the acquired company and replacing it with the debt of the Company, to adjust timing of acquisition related costs incurred by the Company, and to record the income tax effect of these adjustments.
3. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and presented net of any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a service to a customer, which is typically over the contact term. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved.
Disaggregation of Revenue
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by source of revenue:

The amounts presented in the table above include variable fee estimates of the Company’s physician groups revenue cycle management (“RCM”) services contracts, fixed fees, and forecasted incentive fees. Fixed fees are typically recognized ratably as the performance obligation is satisfied and forecasted incentive fees are measured cumulatively over the contractually defined performance period.
Estimates of revenue expected to be recognized in future periods exclude unexercised customer options to purchase services within the Company’s PAS contracts that do not represent material rights to the customer.
The Company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less and has elected an exemption to the disclosure requirements related to estimate variable consideration and an exemption where the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date.
4. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable is comprised of invoiced and unbilled balances due from modular services and end-to-end RCM customers, which are presented net after considering cost reimbursements owed to end-to-end RCM customers.
12
The Company evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses quarterly. The Company maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable to the amount that it believes will be collected. This allowance is based on the Company’s historical experience, its assessment of each customer’s ability to pay, the length of time a balance has been outstanding, input from key Company resources assigned to each customer, the status of any ongoing operations with each applicable customer, and business and industry factors such as significant shifts in the healthcare environment which the Company believes may have impacted or will impact its customers’ financial health and ability to pay.
The Company has presented the rollforward below on a consolidated basis as the currently expected credit losses for its large integrated healthcare system customers are not anticipated to be material.
Movements in the allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable are as follows:

6. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes cash flow hedges to manage its currency risk arising from its global business services centers. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has recorded $1.1 million of unrealized gains in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency hedges. The Company estimates that $1.1 million of gains reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 9 months. Amounts reclassified into cost of services were a net gain of $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts have maturities extending no later than December 31, 2023, and had a total notional value of $90.2 million.
14
The Company also utilizes cash flow hedges to reduce variability in interest cash flows from its outstanding debt. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has recorded $9.9 million of unrealized gains in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swaps. The Company estimates that $8.3 million of gains reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. Amounts reclassified into interest expense were a net gain of $1.9 million and a net loss of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s interest rate swaps extend no later than June 30, 2025, and had a total notional value of $500.0 million.
The location and fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:
March 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||||||||

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the accumulated gain, net of tax, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $8.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively.
The Company classifies cash flows from its derivative programs as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Fair values for derivative financial instruments are based on prices computed using third-party valuation models and are classified as Level 2 in accordance with the three-level hierarchy of fair value measurements.
On July 5, 2022, the Company and Sutter Health (“Sutter”) entered into an agreement regarding the potential purchase of a business that would expand the Company’s service capabilities (the “Sutter Put Right Agreement”). This agreement is effective through approximately the end of 2023 and allows Sutter to sell the business to the Company for $150.0 million, subject to the negotiation of a definitive agreement and the satisfaction of agreed upon closing conditions, including the requirement that the purchase price be deemed to be fair value at the time of the potential transaction. Assuming an agreement is reached, the Company and Sutter would also need to reach agreement as to whether the purchase price would be paid in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock.
7. Share-Based Compensation
The share-based compensation expense relating to the Company’s stock options, RSUs, and performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $12.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, with related tax benefits of approximately $2.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Excess tax benefits and shortfalls for share-based payments are recognized in income tax expense and included in operating activities. The Company recognized $0.5 million and $2.5 million of income tax benefit from windfalls associated with vesting and exercises of equity awards for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(1) Included in the share-based compensation expense above is $1.8 million of CoyCo 2, L.P. (“CoyCo 2”) share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See further discussion below.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its service-based options as of their grant dates. The volatility for the options was calculated based on an analysis of historical volatility. The Company assesses current performance on performance-based PBRSUs by reviewing historical performance to date, along with any adjustments which have been approved to the reported performance, and changes to the projections to determine the probable outcome of the awards. The current estimates are then compared to the scoring metrics and any necessary adjustments are reflected in the current period to update share-based compensation expense to the current performance expectations. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the fair value of the Unvested Units (as defined below), which are being amortized over a period of 4 years on a straight-line basis. The volatility for the Unvested Units was calculated based on an analysis of historical and implied volatility.

Upon consummation of the Cloudmed acquisition, outstanding restricted units of Cloudmed were replaced by an aggregate 1,536,220 RSUs of the Company. The Company also issued an aggregate of 3,173,184 inducement RSUs and PBRSUs to certain employees of Cloudmed under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) pursuant to its newly adopted 2022 Inducement Plan.
The Company’s RSU and PBRSU agreements allow employees to surrender to the Company shares of common stock upon vesting of their RSUs and PBRSUs in lieu of their payment of the required personal employment-related taxes. Shares surrendered for payment of personal employment-related taxes are held in treasury.
Outstanding PBRSUs vest upon satisfaction of both time-based and performance-based conditions. Depending on the award, performance condition targets may include cumulative adjusted EBITDA, end-to-end RCM agreement growth, modular sales revenue, or other specific performance factors. Depending on the percentage level at which the performance-based conditions are satisfied, the number of shares vesting could be between 0% and 200% of the number of PBRSUs originally granted. Based on the established targets, the maximum number of shares that could vest for all outstanding PBRSUs is 9,852,450.
CoyCo 2, L.P. Limited Partnership Units
As part of the transactions contemplated by the Cloudmed acquisition, equity awards held by certain employees of Cloudmed (“Former Class P Units”) were modified, through a series of transactions, into awards (“Management Units”) of CoyCo 2. The Management Units issued by CoyCo 2 are treated as share-based compensation under ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation.
The Former Class P Units were originally issued to employees of Cloudmed and its affiliates (“Participants”) in connection with and as a part of the compensation and incentive arrangements between Cloudmed and such Participants prior to the consummation of the Cloudmed acquisition. A portion of the Former Class P Units immediately vested upon the closing of the Cloudmed acquisition; however, certain Former Class P Units that were subject to performance-based vesting conditions did not become vested upon the closing of the Cloudmed acquisition (“Unvested Units”). In connection with the Cloudmed acquisition, Cloudmed caused the Former Class P Units, including the Unvested Units, to be converted into Management Units. At the time of the closing of the Cloudmed acquisition, 97,875 Unvested Units were converted into 514,986 Management Units.
17
In general, Unvested Units vest upon the achievement of certain performance criteria, including achievement by CoyCo 2’s owner, New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. (“New Mountain”), of (i) specified multiples of Base Equity Value (“BEV”) (i.e., generally the aggregate equity value of New Mountain’s investment in Cloudmed as of the original grant date), or (ii) specified Multiples on Invested Capital (“MIC”) with respect to New Mountain Capital’s pre-Cloudmed acquisition investment in Cloudmed, and subject to continued service with the Company and its affiliates, including Cloudmed through the applicable vesting date. The Unvested Units are not awards of the Company and the participants will receive no additional shares of the Company upon satisfaction of the vesting criteria. However, GAAP requires the Company recognize the cost of share-based compensation granted by an investor (CoyCo 2) to the Company’s employees and service providers for services that benefit the Company’s operations (hereafter, “CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense”), and a corresponding capital contribution because the costs are incurred on the Company’s behalf.
8. Other Expenses
Other expenses are incurred in connection with acquisition and integration costs, various exit activities, transformation initiatives, and organizational changes to improve our business alignment and cost structure. The following table summarizes the other expenses recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

(1) These are costs, including legal, consulting, and bank fees, that are directly related to the closing of business acquisitions and include changes to contingent consideration, if applicable.
(2) These costs reflect efforts to integrate acquisitions from a systems, processes, and people perspective and to achieve synergies expected from business acquisitions. Costs include consulting fees, IT vendor spend, severance, retention, and certain payroll costs.
(3) These costs relate to performing portfolio and capital structure analyses and transactions and other business transformation projects (including large scale system projects) as part of the Company’s growth strategy. Costs include vendor spend, employee time and expenses spent on activities, severance, and retention amounts.
(4) These costs include legal and consulting fees related to the establishment of the Company’s inaugural global business services center in the Philippines as well as severance costs for personnel whose roles are being relocated. The entry into the Philippines was the first new organic global business services center country expansion by the Company in approximately 15 years. The Company completed the expansion project in 2022.
(5) As part of evaluating its footprint, the Company has exited certain leased facilities. Costs include asset impairment charges, early termination fees, and other costs related to exited leased facilities.
(6) For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, other includes $5.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of expenses related to the Company’s ongoing litigation matters. For further details, refer to Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies.

9. Income Taxes
Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant and infrequent or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based upon the projected annual pre-tax earnings by jurisdiction and the allocation of certain expenses in various taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business. These taxing jurisdictions apply a broad range of statutory income tax rates. The global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions impose taxes on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The Company elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred.
The Company recognized income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 on the year-to-date pre-tax income. The deviation from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% is primarily attributable to recognizing the provisions for foreign taxes, state taxes, non-deductible expenses, and discrete items.
The Company recognized income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 on the year-to-date pre-tax income. The deviation from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% is primarily attributable to recognizing the provisions for state taxes, GILTI, non-deductible expenses, and discrete items.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. U.S. federal income tax returns since 2019 are currently open for examination. State jurisdictions vary for open tax years. The statute of limitations for most states ranges from to six years.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of $147.6 million, of which $50.0 million related to net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. The Company expects to be profitable, allowing the Company to utilize its NOL carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.
10. Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share is calculated by adjusting the denominator used in the basic net income per share computation by potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to stock options and shares issuable upon vesting of RSUs and PBRSUs.
Basic and diluted net income per common share are calculated as follows:

Because of their anti-dilutive effect, 768,030 common share equivalents comprised of stock options, PBRSUs, and RSUs have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, 43,206 common share equivalents have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because of their anti-dilutive effect.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
Other than as described below, the Company is not presently a party to any material litigation or regulatory proceeding and is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or regulatory proceeding against the Company which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
On April 13, 2021 and April 19, 2021, respectively, certain purported stockholders of the Company filed two complaints in the Delaware Court of Chancery regarding the Company’s January 15, 2021 recapitalization transaction with TCP-ASC. Both complaints allege that TCP-ASC, Ascension Health (“Ascension”), and TowerBrook Capital Partners (“TowerBrook”) controlled the Company and breached their fiduciary duties by using that alleged control to force the Company to overpay in redeeming TCP-ASC’s preferred stock as part of the recapitalization transaction. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages against TCP-ASC, Ascension, and TowerBrook. The plaintiffs also allege that the Company and TCP-ASC entered into amendments to the Investor Rights Agreement that the plaintiffs contend contain provisions that are void under the Company’s charter, bylaws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law. The cases have since been consolidated into a single action. All defendants have answered the complaint and discovery has commenced.
On February 18, 2022, plaintiffs filed a supplement to their complaint, naming certain additional defendants and asserting additional claims related to the Company’s agreement to acquire Cloudmed, which was announced on January 10, 2022. The additional claims assert that: (i) TCP-ASC, Ascension, and TowerBrook, along with the Company’s directors (“Individual Defendants”), breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Company to enter into and approving the Cloudmed acquisition, respectively, which plaintiffs claim will perpetuate TCP-ASC’s, Ascension’s, and TowerBrook’s control over the Company and entrench the Individual Defendants by virtue of certain agreements entered into as part of the transaction, including a Second Amended Investor Rights Agreement with TCP-ASC (the “Seconded Amended Investor Rights Agreement”) and an Investor Rights Agreement with Cloudmed (the “Cloudmed Investor Rights Agreement”); and (ii) Cloudmed’s stockholders aided and abetted such breaches. Plaintiffs also allege that certain provisions in the Cloudmed Investor Rights Agreement and the Second Amended Investor Rights Agreement are void under the Company’s charter, bylaws, and the Delaware General Corporation law. The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment and an unspecified amount of damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. Trial is scheduled for November 2023. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims against it and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims.
In May 2016, the Company was served with a False Claims Act case brought by a former emergency department service associate who worked at a hospital of one of the Company’s customers, MedStar Inc.’s Washington Hospital Center (“WHC”), along with WHC and three other hospitals that were PAS customers and a place holder, John Doe hospital, representing all PAS customers (U.S. ex rel. Graziosi vs. Accretive Health, Inc. et. al.), and seeking money damages, False Claims Act penalties, and plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees. The Third Amended Complaint alleges that the Company’s PAS business violates the federal False Claims Act. The case was originally filed under seal in 2013 in the federal district court in Chicago and was presented to the U.S. Attorney in Chicago, and the U.S. Attorney declined to intervene. Both the Company’s and plaintiff’s motions for summary judgment were denied in December 2020, and the parties have completed damage and expert discovery. Additional dispositive motions are expected to extend into 2023, with trial, if necessary, likely to be scheduled in 2024. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims in the case and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims.

12. Related Party Transactions
This note encompasses transactions between Ascension and its affiliates, including AMITA Health, and the Company pursuant to the Master Professional Services Agreement, including all supplements, amendments, and other documents entered into in connection therewith. For further details on the Company’s agreements with Ascension, see Note 1 and Note 19 of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. In conjunction with the Cloudmed acquisition, New Mountain became a new related party. There were no material transactions with New Mountain subsequent to the Cloudmed acquisition.
Net services revenue from services provided to Ascension, as well as corresponding accounts receivable and customer liabilities are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Since Ascension is the Company’s largest customer, a significant percentage of the Company’s cost of services is associated with providing services to Ascension. However, due to the nature of the Company’s global business services and information technology operations, it is impractical to assign the dollar amount associated with services provided to Ascension.
13. Segments and Customer Concentrations
The Company has determined that it has a single operating segment in accordance with the way that management operates and views the business. All of the Company’s significant operations are organized around the single business of providing management services of revenue cycle operations for U.S.-based healthcare providers. Accordingly, for purposes of segment disclosures, the Company has only one operating and reportable segment.
Customers comprising greater than 10% of net services revenue are as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||
Customer Name | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||||
Ascension and its affiliates | 40 | % | 56 | % | ||||||||||
Intermountain Healthcare | 11 | % | 14 | % |
The loss of customers within the Ascension health system or Intermountain network could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a concentration of credit risk with Ascension, representing 10% of accounts receivable.

Overview
Our Business
We are a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers. We help healthcare providers generate sustainable improvements in their operating margins and cash flows while also enhancing patient, physician, and staff satisfaction for our customers.
23
We achieve these results for our customers by managing healthcare providers’ revenue cycle operations, which encompass patient registration, insurance and benefit verification, scheduling, medical treatment documentation and coding, bill preparation, and collections from patients and payers. We do so by deploying a unique operating model that leverages our extensive healthcare domain expertise, innovative technology and intelligent automation, and process excellence. We assist our revenue cycle management (“RCM”) customers in managing their revenue cycle operating costs while simultaneously increasing the portion of the maximum potential services revenue they receive. Together, these benefits can generate significant and sustainable improvements in operating margins and cash flows for our customers.
Our largest service offering consists of end-to-end RCM services, which we deploy through an operating partner relationship or a co-managed relationship. Under an operating partner relationship, we provide comprehensive revenue cycle infrastructure to providers, including all revenue cycle personnel, technology solutions, and process workflow. Under a co-managed relationship, we leverage our customers’ existing RCM staff and processes, and supplement them with our infused management, subject matter specialists, proprietary technology solutions, and other resources. Under the operating partner model, our employees are the revenue cycle personnel providing services and we typically control third party vendors either through direct contracts or the assumption of the customer’s vendor contracts. As a result, under the operating partner model, we record higher expenses as well as higher revenues related to the negotiated cost to collect. Under the co-managed model, the revenue cycle personnel and third party vendors remain with the customer and those costs do not impact our financial results. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, substantially all of our net operating and incentive fees from end-to-end RCM services were generated under the operating partner model.
We also offer modular solutions, allowing customers to engage us to address specific revenue cycle improvement opportunities, such as revenue intelligence solutions (which were enhanced through the acquisition of Revint Holdings, LLC (“Cloudmed”)), automation solutions, revenue integrity solutions, practice management (“PM”), accounts receivables and denials recovery, physician advisory services (“PAS”), clinical documentation integrity (“CDI”), coding management, business office services, and patient experience.
While we cannot control the changes in the regulatory environment imposed on our customers, we believe that our role becomes increasingly more important to our customers as macroeconomic, regulatory, and healthcare industry conditions continue to impose financial pressure on healthcare providers to manage their operations effectively and efficiently.
We operate our business as a single segment configured with our significant operations and offerings organized around the business of providing RCM services to healthcare providers.
Trends and Economic Conditions
Revenue cycle is a critical function for healthcare providers as they seek to increase process efficiency and maximize cash collected from health insurance companies and patients. Healthcare providers operate their revenue cycle with a combination of labor, software, and services vendors. Third-party vendors offer various solutions including consulting services, software, and other services, including point solutions that cover one or multiple components of the revenue cycle and full outsourcing services, among others. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services projects hospital care and physician care expenditures in the U.S. to amount to $1.5 trillion and $959 billion in 2023, respectively. We estimate the cost of hospital and physician revenue cycle operations to be approximately 5% of revenue, resulting in a market size of approximately $115 billion. According to Research and Markets data as of April 27, 2022, revenue cycle spend is projected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 11.6% through 2030.
24
Health systems are currently facing challenges in their revenue cycle operations based on several factors including: (1) more complex and clinical-outcomes based reimbursement, (2) industry consolidation amongst hospitals and across the continuum of care, (3) increasing patient responsibility for their medical bills, (4) healthcare labor shortage, and (5) capital constraints to invest in the revenue cycle given financial difficulties and requirements to invest in improving clinical care. We believe these trends provide opportunities for external RCM vendors that will result in further growth for the industry and our Company.
Growth in economic activity and demand for goods and services, alongside labor shortages and supply chain complications, contributed to high levels of inflation in 2022. We expect inflation to persist in 2023, which may impact our costs for wages and other materials. Inflation may also impact the economic health of our customers, including their ability to pay amounts owed to us. In response to rising inflation, the Federal Reserve Board has raised interest rates and signaled that it may continue to raise rates. Our credit facility interest, in part, is based on a variable interest rate structure which can result in increased cost in periods of rising interest rates. To date, rising interest rates have not had a material impact on our results of operations.
Our incentive fees were impacted by deterioration in payer-reimbursement turnaround times in the second half of 2022. We anticipate modest improvement in payer turnaround times in 2023, relative to the second half of 2022. In addition, we are observing the following trends, which we expect will persist in 2023: (i) we expect reduced growth in our physician business serving emergency department physicians due to regulatory changes that are impacting some of the large groups in the industry and (ii) with recessionary concerns increasing, we could see potential weakness in consumer collections as healthcare bills are de-prioritized.
Other adverse macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to changes to fiscal and monetary policy and currency fluctuations, could impact macro-level consumer spending trends, which could affect the volume processed on our platform and result in fluctuations to our revenue streams. Certain of our customers may be negatively impacted by these events. In addition, our business and customers continue to face challenges relating to a tight labor market and increased turnover rates. In particular, the current labor market combined with heightened inflation across the globe may increase cost of labor for both us and our customers in 2023 and over time. We plan to continue to invest in technology to help us offset these costs and expect to continue hiring talented employees and providing competitive compensation. Furthermore, recent bank failures and the flow-on effects of those events, including systematic pressures, may cause instability in the banking industry or result in failures at other banks or financial institutions to which we or our customers may face direct or indirect exposure. The bank failures that occurred during the first quarter of 2023 did not directly impact R1 financially. 95% of our cash as of March 31, 2023 was held at four of the five largest banks in the U.S. (by deposits). We maintain the remainder of our cash, which is fully accessible, at smaller or regional banks. The extent to which these macroeconomic conditions will affect our business is uncertain and will depend on political, social, economic, and regulatory forces that are outside of our control. We continue to assess fluctuating macroeconomic events to manage our response.

(1) Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for a reconciliation of our financial results reported in accordance with GAAP to non-GAAP financial results.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by our management team in financial and operational decision-making, we supplement our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP with the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by our Board and management team as (i) one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; and (ii) as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain executive incentive compensation programs, as well as for incentive compensation plans for employees.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest income/expense, income tax provision/benefit, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2, L.P. (“CoyCo 2”) share-based compensation expense, and other expense items detailed in Note 8, Other Expenses, to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including business acquisition costs, integration costs, strategic initiatives, and the global business services center expansion project in the Philippines.
Although non-GAAP measures are frequently used by investors, securities analysts, and others in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect:
•Changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
26
•Share-based compensation expense (including CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense);
•Income tax expenses or cash requirements to pay taxes;
•Interest expenses or cash required to pay interest;
•Certain other expenses which may require cash payments;
•Although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements or other purchase commitments, including lease commitments; and
•Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures
The following table represents a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most closely comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated:

27
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Net Services Revenue
Net services revenue increased by $159.9 million, or 41%, from $385.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $545.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by a $125.8 million contribution from Cloudmed and net operating fees from new end-to-end customers, partially offset by lower incentive fees.
Cost of Services
Costs of services primarily consists of wages and benefits of personnel that perform services for our customers and any related supplies, equipment, or facility costs utilized by these employees, which includes our global shared service centers in India and the Philippines. It also includes cost of services provided to our customers by vendors directly contracted by R1 or assigned to R1 at contract inception. Cost of services increased by $138.2 million, or 47%, from $296.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $434.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cost of services was primarily driven by the Cloudmed acquisition and onboarding of new customers, which are reflected in our current revenue growth.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $18.1 million, or 63%, from $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $47.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by the Cloudmed acquisition, specifically compensation costs and software licensing and maintenance costs,
and incremental spend in corporate functions to support business growth.
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased by $13.1 million, or 77%, from $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $30.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See Note 8, Other Expenses, to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the details of the costs included in this total for the comparative periods.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense decreased by $6.4 million from $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to lower pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate (including discrete items) was approximately 90% and 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our tax rate is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year, but are not necessarily consistent from year to year.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if the accounting estimate requires management to make particularly difficult, subjective, or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting estimates is included in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Application of Critical Accounting Estimates” of our 2022 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For additional information regarding new accounting guidance, see Note 1, Business Description and Basis of Presentation, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which provides a summary of our recently adopted accounting standards and disclosures.
28
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity include our cash flows from operations and borrowings under our second amended and restated senior credit agreement (the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total available liquidity of $613.3 million and $609.2 million, respectively, reflecting our cash and cash equivalents as well as remaining availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Revolver”).
Our liquidity is influenced by many factors, including timing of revenue and corresponding cash collections, the amount and timing of investments in strategic initiatives, transaction costs related to business acquisitions, our investments in property, equipment and software, and the use of cash to pay tax withholding obligations upon surrender of shares upon vesting of equity awards. We continue to invest capital in order to achieve our strategic initiatives and successfully integrate acquired companies. As part of our strategic initiatives, we plan to continue to invest in technology to increase the scalability and resiliency of our systems and drive additional value for our customers. We also expect to continue to invest in our global business services infrastructure and capabilities, including further expansion in the Philippines and India, and selectively pursue acquisitions and/or strategic relationships that will enable us to broaden or further enhance our offerings. New business development remains a priority as we plan to continue to boost our sales and marketing efforts. Additionally, we expect to incur costs associated with implementation and transition costs to onboard new customers.
We expect cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and our availability under the Senior Revolver to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, including debt maturities and material capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months and beyond. Similar to previous material acquisitions, future potential acquisitions may be funded through the incurrence of additional debt if our current credit facilities do not have the required capacity.
Our material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations:
Debt
Our indebtedness significantly increased as a result of the Cloudmed acquisition. As of March 31, 2023, we had outstanding debt of $1.8 billion with contractual payments extending through 2029, with $58.3 million payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with our debt total $478.4 million, with $124.1 million payable within the next 12 months, based on the floating rates as of March 31, 2023.
Leases
Our significant leasing activity encompasses leases for real estate, including corporate offices, operational facilities, and global business services centers. As of March 31, 2023, we had fixed future lease payments of $137.3 million, with $25.3 million payable within 12 months.
Software Purchase and Services Obligations
Our primary purchase obligations relate to contracts entered into with vendors that supply various software services and products. As of March 31, 2023, we had purchase obligations related to software and service contracts of $283.8 million, with $62.8 million payable within 12 months.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $104.2 million and $110.1 million, respectively. Cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table:
29
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||||||||
(In millions) | ||||||||||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 54.7 | $ | 30.9 | ||||||||||
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (25.6) | $ | (10.0) | ||||||||||
Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (35.4) | $ | (26.2) |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased by $23.8 million from $30.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $54.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cash provided by operating activities primarily increased due to improved operating results (exclusive of non-cash depreciation and amortization).
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities primarily includes our investments in property, equipment and software and our inorganic growth initiatives. Outflows for significant acquisitions have typically been offset by cash inflows from financing activities related to obtaining new debt.
Cash used in investing activities increased by $15.6 million from $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $25.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cash usage is primarily due to higher property, equipment and software spend related to our strategic initiatives and capitalization of software.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities primarily relate to borrowings and repayments of debt. In conjunction with acquisitions, we typically borrow additional debt to fund the consideration, either by increasing our existing facilities or refinancing with new facilities. We utilize our revolver to ensure we have sufficient cash on hand to support the needs of the business at any given point in time. Cash flows from financing activities also include cash received from exercises of stock options and the use of cash to pay tax withholding obligations on shares surrendered upon vesting of equity awards, as well as other financing activities.
Cash used in financing activities increased by $9.2 million from $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $35.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change is primarily due to an $18.0 million increase to debt and revolver repayments in 2023 compared to 2022, partially offset by lower amounts of cash required to pay tax withholding obligations for surrendered shares upon vesting of equity awards in 2023.
30
Debt and Financing Arrangements
On June 21, 2022, we entered into a Second A&R Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein, governing the Company’s second amended and restated senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), consisting of the $691.3 million existing senior secured term loan A facility (the “Existing Term A Loan”), a $540.0 million senior secured incremental term loan A facility (the “Incremental Term A Loan,” and together with the Existing Term A Loan, the “Term A Loans”), a $500.0 million senior secured term loan B facility (the “Term B Loan,” and together with the Term A Loans, the “Senior Term Loans”), and a $600.0 million Senior Revolver. The Existing Term A Loan requires quarterly payments. Commencing December 31, 2022, we are also required to repay the Incremental Term A Loan and Term B Loan in quarterly principal installments. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which was 7.31% for the Term A Loans and Senior Revolver and 7.81% for the Term B Loan as of March 31, 2023. See Note 6, Derivative Financial Instruments, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for discussion on our interest rate hedging transactions.
As of March 31, 2023, we had drawn $90.0 million and had $509.1 million of remaining availability on our Senior Revolver.
The proceeds from the new Senior Secured Credit Facilities were or will be used, in addition to cash on hand, (1) to refinance, in full, all existing indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2021, by and among R1 RCM Holdco Inc. (f/k/a R1 RCM Inc.), now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein, and amend and restate all commitments thereunder (the “Refinancing”), (2) to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the entry into the Second A&R Credit Agreement and the Refinancing, (3) to fund the acquisition of Cloudmed and a holding company reorganization, and to pay the fees, premiums, expenses and other transaction costs incurred in connection therewith, and (4) to finance our working capital needs for general corporate purposes.
The Second A&R Credit Agreement contains a number of financial and non-financial covenants. We are required to maintain minimum consolidated total net leverage and consolidated interest coverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants in the Second A&R Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023.
See Note 5, Debt, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Item 3. | Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Interest Rate Sensitivity. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates due to our debt and banking arrangements, which can result in fluctuations in our interest income and expense. As of March 31, 2023, we have hedged $500.0 million of our $1.8 billion outstanding floating rate debt to a fixed rate of 3.01% plus the applicable spread defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement. The remaining $1.3 billion outstanding is subject to average variable rates of 7.31% for the Term A Loans and Senior Revolver and 7.81% for the Term B Loan as of March 31, 2023. Assuming the current level of borrowings, a one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest expense on the $1.3 billion subject to variable rates by approximately $13.0 million.
Our interest income is primarily generated from variable rate interest earned on operating cash accounts.
31
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the Indian rupee and Philippine peso because a portion of our operating expenses are incurred by our subsidiaries in India and the Philippines and are denominated in Indian rupees and Philippine pesos, respectively. We do not generate significant revenues outside of the United States. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 9% and 10% of our expenses were denominated in foreign currencies, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had net assets of $89.3 million and $72.3 million in foreign entities, respectively. Before the impact of our foreign currency hedging activities discussed below, the reduction in earnings from a 10% change in foreign currency spot rates would be $5.1 million and $3.7 million at March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We have hedge positions that are designated cash flow hedges of certain intercompany charges which have maturities not exceeding December 31, 2023 and are intended to partially offset the impact of foreign currency movements on future costs relating to our global business service centers. For additional information, see Note 6, Derivative Financial Instruments to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These instruments are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and credit risk. Credit risk is managed through careful selection and ongoing evaluation of the financial institutions utilized as counterparties.
For designated cash flow hedges, gains and losses currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings at the time when certain anticipated intercompany charges are accrued as cost of services. As of March 31, 2023, it was anticipated that approximately $0.8 million of gains, net of tax, currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into cost of services within the next 9 months.
We use sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may have on the fair value of our hedge portfolio. The sensitivity of the hedge portfolio is computed based on the market value of future cash flows as affected by changes in exchange rates. This sensitivity analysis represents the hypothetical changes in value of the hedge position and does not reflect the offsetting gain or loss on the underlying exposure. A 10% change in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar (or other base currency of the hedge if not a U.S. dollar hedge) with all other variables held constant would have resulted in a change in the fair value of our hedge instruments of approximately $8.3 million as of March 31, 2023.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to the amended and restated offer letter agreement, dated as of November 7, 2022, between Lee Rivas, our Chief Executive Officer, and the Company, Mr. Rivas was entitled to an initial grant of PBRSUs with a target grant date fair value of $6,120,000 with terms to be determined by the Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors. On May 2, 2023, the Human Capital Committee approved the grant of such award and determined that the award would consist of a mix of PBRSUs and RSUs.
