Management Commentary
Brandon LaVerne, Ontrak Health’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am thrilled that we have now secured two new regional health plan customers and four health plan expansions since January of this year, spanning a range of plan types, including Medicaid, HARP, Commercial and now Marketplace, showcasing the versatility of our offerings, which include WholeHealth+, Engage and our new Quality solution. We are enthusiastic about the tremendous progress we are making with our multiple product offerings and believe activity in our pipeline is accelerating, bringing prospects further down the funnel, and faster. The opportunities at the bottom of our sales funnel alone represent a significant inflection in our growth going forward, and if executed, could nearly double our revenues under contract.”

Third Quarter 2024 and Recent Operating Highlights
- Total enrolled members in our WholeHealth+ program numbered 2,007 at the end of Q3 2024, compared to 1,752 at the end of Q2 2024 and 2,297 at the end of Q3 2023.
- Total callable outreach pool for WholeHealth+ was 6,689 at September 30, 2024 compared to 7,511 at June 30, 2024 and 9,377 at September 30, 2023. Total callable outreach pool for Ontrak Engage, one of the segmented solutions within WholeHealth+ which we began offering on an à la carte basis in Q2 2024, was 498 at September 30, 2024.
- On November 2, 2024, the Company executed an expansion of its strategic partnership with an existing customer. This expansion represents the new offering of the Company's Engage solution, a coaching-specific alternative for members who would benefit from ongoing care coaching to help them address physical and behavioral health challenges and social needs. The addition of the Engage solution is a result of the Company’s innovative Advanced Engagement System which allows for targeted outreach to members more broadly across a larger population of members. Outreach is expected to begin this week for this new targeted population.
- In August 2024, the Company announced the signing of a 2-year strategic partnership with a large, regional health plan in the northeast, aimed at delivering a proactive, predictive and personalized behavioral health solution to its members in New York with chronic comorbidities and unaddressed behavioral health utilizing our WholeHealth+ and Engage solutions. In the beginning of October 2024, the Company began enrollment process and began providing WholeHealth+ services to this health plan's enrolled members. In late October 2024, the Company entered into an expanded partnership with this health plan customer to provide Ontrak Quality solution, which the Company recently launched and focuses on behavioral health metrics according to Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) and broadens access to services for Commercial, Medicaid and Health and Recovery Plan (HARP) members, not enrolled in the WholeHealth+ program, identified by the health plan as needing recommended behavioral healthcare services.
- On October 2, 2024, the Company was notified by a health plan customer of its intent not to continue using the Company’s services after December 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company billed this customer approximately $1.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, representing 68% and 64% of the Company's revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
- On September 17, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware implementing a reverse split at ratio of 1-for-15. Any fractional share of the Company's common stock resulting from the reverse split was automatically rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company's common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a post-split basis at the open of trading on September 23, 2024, and continues to trade under the symbol “OTRK,” but has been assigned a new CUSIP number (683373401).
- In September 2024, the Company announced findings of significant improvement in quality of life of members with various mental health conditions participating in Ontrak's WholeHealth+ program from the first two-quarters of data collected through its implementation of Recovering Quality of Life (ReQoL) measure, which is now a standard component of Ontrak's clinical model.
- In September 2024, the Company launched Ontrak Quality, its latest product offering designed to help healthcare payers, providers and stakeholders close gaps in care, thereby improving quality measures and ultimately quality scores. Quality scores play a vital role in shaping the healthcare landscape, impacting reimbursement rates, star ratings, and patient outcomes. This latest innovation continues Ontrak’s expansion of its Advanced Engagement System to solve healthcare organizations’ toughest problems. Ontrak Health's new product offering provides a comprehensive solution to identify, manage, and close care gaps through a combination of advanced technology, robust data management, and personalized patient outreach. The product is designed to address key quality measures such as HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) and Star Ratings, which are widely used by organizations like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for quality assessment in Medicare Advantage plans and by many state Medicaid programs.
- In August 2024, the Company announced its partnership with MosaicVoice, a pioneer in AI-powered voice technology, to transform healthcare delivery and patient outcomes for Ontrak and its members. The strategic partnership aims to create a more connected, intelligent, and patient-centric healthcare ecosystem by integrating advanced voice and AI technologies. MosaicVoice's AI technology offers real-time, dynamic guidance and conversation analysis, helping care teams maintain meaningful and compliant patient interactions. The solution actively listens to conversations, ensures adherence to care delivery protocols, and guides care teams with prompts that enhance patient engagement. This technology can detect patient sentiment, surface care opportunities, and provide immediate feedback to support care providers.
- In August 2024, the Company announced the achievement of the HITRUST Risk-based, 2-year (r2) certification of the customer data exchange elements of its Ontrak Advanced Engagement System. This certification underscores Ontrak's unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security and regulatory compliance. The HITRUST CSF certification for Ontrak's Advanced Engagement System not only exemplifies our commitment to the gold standard in data protection and compliance but also ensures that our Ontrak Identify product suite, a core component of its WholeHealth+ solution, operates at the forefront of secure, AI-driven healthcare engagement, offering peace of mind to our partners and unparalleled care for our members. The HITRUST CSF ® certification is a comprehensive and flexible framework that combines healthcare-specific security, privacy, and regulatory requirements from existing frameworks such as HIPAA, NIST, ISO, and COBIT.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company has provided in this press release and the quarterly conference call held on the date hereof certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP net loss per common share, which are not U.S. GAAP financial measures. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.
EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring, severance and related costs, gain on termination of operating lease, and gain/loss on change in fair value of warrant liability. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze our financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.
Non-GAAP net loss consists of net loss adjusted for debt issuance costs expensed related to Demand Notes, Demand Warrants expensed related to Demand Notes, stock-based compensation, restructuring, severance and related costs, gain on termination of operating lease and gain/loss on change in fair value of warrant liability. Non-GAAP net loss per common share consists of loss per share adjusted for non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze our financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.
We believe the above non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss per common share may vary from that of others in our industry. None of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net loss or Non-GAAP net loss per common share should be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss, net loss per common share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of performance.
See the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures table at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financial measures.
