DELRAY BEACH, Fla., March 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UpHealth, Inc. (“UpHealth” or the “Company”) (NYSE: UPH), a global digital health company delivering technology platforms, infrastructure, and services to modernize care delivery and health management, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

UpHealth Chief Executive Officer Sam Meckey said, “Our fourth quarter and full year results reflect solid growth and healthy margins.   While we are pleased with the year over year growth achieved in both the fourth quarter and the full year, we missed our targets.   Because of this, we conducted a comprehensive review and have developed a plan to recalibrate our business and reduce our cost structure moving forward. We are focused on conserving capital, rationalizing poorly performing legacy businesses, executing against our strategic plan, and enhancing our focus on free-cash-flow generation. We recently announced the strategic sale of Innovations Group, Inc. (“IGI”), which is expected to deliver $56 million in gross proceeds upon closing and add significant liquidity to our balance sheet in the second quarter. Additionally, since August, we reduced our headcount by 6%, we reduced our contractor and external vendor spend by $1.5 million, and we achieved over $2 million in savings from G&A consolidation. Going forward, we will focus on Telehealth, Behavioral Health, and Integrated Care, which will benefit from thoughtful investments in critical initiatives to drive sustainable and scalable growth. 2023 is a foundational year for UpHealth, as we will ensure we have the necessary foundation for a technology and technology enabled-services business that can sustainably scale.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

• Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 20% to $40.5 million compared to revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $33.9 million and increased 32% compared to revenues of $30.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 after adjusting for the deconsolidation of Glocal.
• Gross margin expanded to 45%, from 18% in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to cost of revenues in the Company’s Integrated Care Management segment with no corresponding revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021.
• Revenues and gross margin by segment for the fourth quarter of 2022 were:
  • Virtual Care Infrastructure, which solely included the U.S. Telehealth business, generated $17.6 million of revenues (43% of total revenues), an increase of $3.8 million, with a gross margin of 51%.
  • Services, which included the Behavioral Health and Pharmacy businesses, generated $19.1 million of revenues (47% of total revenues), an increase of $1.4 million, with a gross margin of 36%.
  • Integrated Care Management generated $3.8 million of revenues (9% of total revenues), an increase of $1.3 million, with a gross margin of 61%.
• Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $13.4 million, a 96% improvement compared to operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2021 of $337.0 million. This improvement primarily resulted from goodwill impairment charges taken in the three months ended December 31, 2021, that were not repeated in the current quarter, partially offset by the deconsolidation of Glocal during the third quarter of 2022.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 improved by $15.7 million, to $1.9 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $(13.8) million.

• Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2022, expanded to 44%, compared to GAAP gross margin of 32% and pro forma gross margin of 33% in the comparable year ago period, primarily due to cost of revenues recorded in the Company's Integrated Care Management segment with no corresponding revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021.

  • Virtual Care Infrastructure generated $65.0 million of revenues (41% of total revenues), an increase of $28.4 million, with a gross margin of 46%.

• Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $161.4 million, a 58% improvement compared to operating loss for the comparable year ago period of $380.0 million. This improvement primarily resulted from goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges taken in the year ended December 31, 2022 of $114.1 million due to the recent change in our market valuation and financial performance from our Integrated Care Management and Services segments compared to goodwill impairment charges taken in the year ended December 31, 2021 of $297.9 million from all three segments, partially offset by the deconsolidation of Glocal in the third quarter of 2022 and higher legal expenses associated with the matter.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $3.3 million, compared to year-to-date GAAP and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2021, of $(6.5) million and $(4.0) million, respectively.
