CAUTIONARY NOTES REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “target” or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the impact of physical therapist attrition and other factors on the Company's overall profitability, and estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Form 10-Q, and on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:
our dependence upon governmental and third party private payors for reimbursement and that decreases in reimbursement rates or changes in payor and service mix may adversely affect our financial results;
federal and state governments’ continued efforts to contain growth in Medicaid expenditures, which could adversely affect the Company’s revenue and profitability;
payments that we receive from Medicare and Medicaid being subject to potential retroactive reduction;
risks associated with public health crises, including COVID-19;
risks related to the impact on our workforce of mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of employees;
changes in or our failure to comply with existing federal and state laws or regulations or the inability to comply with new government regulations on a timely basis;
further impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, which represent a significant portion of our total assets, especially in view of the Company’s recent market valuation;
failure of steps being taken to significantly reduce attrition of physical therapists and significant hiring of physical therapists and the impact of unfavorable labor market dynamics;
further unfavorable shifts in payor, state and service mix;
our ability to attract and retain talented executives and employees;
our inability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination and compete effectively in a competitive industry subject to rapid technological change including competition that could impact our ability to recruit and retain skilled physical therapists;
the outcome of any legal matters or proceedings instituted against us or any of our directors or officers, and whether insurance coverage will be available and/or adequate to cover such matters or proceedings;
3


risks associated with future acquisitions, which may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities;
our operations are subject to extensive regulation and macroeconomic uncertainty;
failure of third-party customer service and technical support providers to adequately address customers’ requests;
our dependence upon the cultivation and maintenance of relationships with customers, suppliers, physicians and other referral sources;
the severity of the weather and natural disasters that can occur in the regions of the U.S. in which we operate, which could cause disruption to our business;
risks associated with applicable state laws regarding fee-splitting and professional corporation laws;
inspections, reviews, audits and investigations under federal and state government programs and payor contracts that could have adverse findings that may negatively affect our business, including our results of operations, liquidity, financial condition and reputation;
our facilities face competition for experienced physical therapists and other clinical providers that may increase labor costs and reduce profitability;
risks associated with our reliance on IT in critical areas of our operations;
our failure to maintain financial controls and processes over billing and collections or disputes with third-parties could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations;
risk resulting from the Warrants, Earnout Shares and Vesting Shares being accounted for as liabilities;
costs related to operating as a public company and our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on the NYSE;
If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are more fully described under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Form 10-Q describe additional factors that could adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can the Company assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business of the Company or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. The Company undertakes no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

In addition, statements of belief and similar statements reflect the beliefs and opinions of the Company on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to the Company, as applicable, as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and while the Company believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and statements should not be read to indicate that the Company has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Note 1. Overview of the Company
ATI Physical Therapy, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (herein referred to as “we”, “the Company”, “ATI Physical Therapy” and “ATI”), is a nationally recognized healthcare company, specializing in outpatient rehabilitation and adjacent healthcare services. The Company provides outpatient physical therapy services under the name ATI Physical Therapy and, as of September 30, 2021, had 900 clinics (as well as 26 clinics under management service agreements) located in 24 states. The Company offers a variety of services within its clinics, including physical therapy to treat spine, shoulder, knee and neck injuries or pain; work injury rehabilitation services, including work conditioning and work hardening; hand therapy; and other specialized treatment services. The Company’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, Wilco Holdco, Inc., ATI Holdings Acquisition, Inc. and ATI Holdings, LLC.
On June 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), a Business Combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) was finalized pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"), dated February 21, 2021 between the operating company, Wilco Holdco, Inc. (“Wilco Holdco”), and Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II (herein referred to as "FAII" and "FVAC"), a special purpose acquisition company. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II to ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “ATIP.”
The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Under this method of accounting, FAII is treated as the acquired company and Wilco Holdco is treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting and accounting purposes. As a result, the historical operations of Wilco Holdco are deemed to be those of the Company. Therefore, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Wilco Holdco prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of FAII and Wilco Holdco following the Business Combination on June 16, 2021; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Wilco Holdco at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented. The recapitalization of the number of shares of common stock attributable to the Business Combination is reflected retroactively to the earliest period presented and will be utilized for calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in the Business Combination consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse recapitalization of Wilco Holdco, Inc. Refer to “Note 3 - Business Combination” for additional information.
Impact of COVID-19 and CARES Act
The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic in the United States resulted in changes to our operating environment. We continue to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, and our priorities remain protecting the health and safety of employees and patients, maximizing the availability of services to satisfy patient needs and preserving the operational and financial stability of our business. While we expect the disruption caused by COVID-19 and resulting impacts to diminish over time, we cannot predict the length of such impacts, and if such impacts continue for an extended period, it could have a continued effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, which could be material.
13


On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law providing reimbursement, grants, waivers and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has realized benefits under the CARES Act including, but not limited to, the following:
In 2020, the Company received approximately $91.5 million of general distribution payments under the Provider Relief Fund. These payments have been recognized as other income in the consolidated statements of operations throughout 2020 in a manner commensurate with the reporting and eligibility requirements issued by HHS. Based on the terms and conditions of the program, including reporting guidance issued by HHS in 2021, the Company believes that it has met the applicable terms and conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, the fact that the Company’s COVID-19 related expenses and lost revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 exceeded the amount of funds received. To the extent that reporting requirements and terms and conditions are subsequently modified, it may affect the Company’s ability to comply and ability to retain the funds. The following table summarizes the quarterly recognition of general distribution payments recognized in other expense (income), net in the Company's 2020 statements of operations (in millions):

Three Months Ended

$ —  $ (44.3) $ (23.1) $ (24.1) $ (91.5)

The Company applied for and attained approval to receive $26.7 million of Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program ("MAAPP") funds during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repaid $8.5 million in MAAPP funds. Because the Company has not yet met all required performance obligations or performed the services related to the remaining funds, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $18.2 million and $15.5 million of the funds are recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, and zero and $11.2 million of the funds are recorded in other non-current liabilities, respectively.
The Company elected to defer depositing the employer portion of Social Security taxes for payments due from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020, interest-free and penalty-free. Related to these payments, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $5.5 million is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and $5.5 million is included in other non-current liabilities.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Standards
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Management believes the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented contain all necessary adjustments to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
14


Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company expects for the entire year. In addition, the influence of seasonality, changes in payor contracts, strategic transactions, changes in laws and general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates and other factors impacting the Company’s operations may result in any period not being comparable to the same period in previous years. Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company reports segment information based on the management approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. All of the Company’s operations are conducted within the United States. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer (or in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer, the leadership team fulfilling the role of Principal Executive Officer), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. We operate our business as one operating segment and therefore we have one reportable segment.
For further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies and other information, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in our amended S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC on July 28, 2021.
Immaterial revision to prior period
We have identified an immaterial prior period revision with respect to the amount of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, specifically related to the assumed benefit to enterprise value as of June 30, 2021 associated with the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards. We evaluated the effects of this error on our previously-issued condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” ASC Topic 250-10-S99-1, “Assessing Materiality,” and ASC Topic 250-10-S99-2, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” and concluded that no prior period is materially misstated. Accordingly, we have revised our condensed consolidated financial statements for the impacted prior periods herein. The revision decreased accumulated deficit by $13.3 million as of June 30, 2021. The impacted periods will be revised in future filings as applicable. Refer to Note 5 - Goodwill, Trade Name and Other Intangible Assets in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Recently adopted accounting guidance
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this new accounting standard effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
15


Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This standard was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. This standard is optional and may be applied by entities after March 12, 2020, but no later than December 31, 2022. The Company has certain debt instruments for which the interest rates are indexed to the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and as a result, is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated operating results, cash flows, financial condition and related disclosures.
Note 3. Business Combination
As discussed in Note 1 - Overview of the Company, on June 16, 2021, a business combination between Wilco Holdco and FAII was consummated, which was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of Wilco Holdco, Inc. At the time of the Business Combination, stockholders of Wilco Holdco, Inc. received 130.3 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for the outstanding shares of Wilco Holdco common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that such stockholders owned. Upon conversion of unvested Incentive Common Units (“ICUs”) granted prior to the Business Combination under the Wilco Acquisition, LP 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, 2.0 million of these shares were restricted subject to vesting requirements, resulting in total unrestricted shares of 128.3 million and an exchange ratio of 136.7 unrestricted shares of ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. for every previously outstanding Wilco Holdco share.
Immediately following the Business Combination, there were 207.3 million shares issued and 196.6 million outstanding shares of common stock of ATI Physical Therapy, Inc., consisting of the following (in thousands):

Earnout Shares
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of Wilco Holdco, Inc. were provided the contingent right to receive, in the aggregate, up to 15.0 million shares of Class A common stock that may be issued pursuant to an earnout arrangement if certain Class A common stock price targets are achieved between the Closing Date and the 10 year anniversary of the Closing Date (“Earnout Shares”).

Interim impairment testing as of June 30, 2021
In late July 2021, the Company revised its earnings forecast to reflect (i) the impact of clinician attrition on both volume and operating cost expectations and (ii) payor, state and service mix shift impacts on net patient revenue per visit expectations. These factors accelerated in the second quarter and continued into the third quarter. The Company determined that the revision to its forecast, including factors related to the revision of the forecast, constituted an interim triggering event that required further analysis with respect to potential impairment to goodwill, trade name indefinite-lived intangible and other assets. Although the revision to the Company's forecast occurred during the third quarter, because the impairment analysis was performed before the results for the quarter-ended June 30, 2021 were reported, the determination was made to recognize the resulting impairment charges in the financial statements as of the June 30, 2021 balance sheet date.
As we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset was below its carrying value, the Company performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of the June 30, 2021 balance sheet date. The Company utilized the relief from royalty approach to estimate the fair value of the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include projected revenue growth, the royalty rate and the discount rate. As a result of the analysis, we recognized a $33.7 million non-cash impairment charge during the period ended June 30, 2021 in the line item goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations, which represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset and its carrying value. The carrying value of the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset prior to the impairment charge was $643.7 million.
The Company evaluated its asset groups, including operating lease right-of-use assets that were evaluated based on clinic-level cash flows and clinic-specific market factors, noting no material impairment.

As we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit was below its carrying value, the Company performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of the June 30, 2021 balance sheet date. In order to determine the fair value of our single reporting unit, the Company utilized an average of a discounted cash flow analysis and comparable public company analysis. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include projected future revenue growth rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins, the terminal growth rate, the discount rate and relevant market multiples. As a result of the analysis, we recognized a $433.2 million non-cash impairment charge during the period ended June 30, 2021 in the line item goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations, which represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit and its carrying value. The carrying value of goodwill prior to the impairment charge was $1.3 billion.
Interim impairment testing as of September 30, 2021
In October 2021, the Company reported a further revision to its forecast to reflect lower than expected patient visit volume. The Company determined that the factors related to the revision of the forecast constituted an interim triggering event that required further analysis with respect to potential impairment to goodwill, trade name indefinite-lived intangible and other assets. Because the factors related to the revision of the forecast were present as of September 30, 2021, the determination was made to recognize the resulting impairment charges in the financial statements as of the September 30, 2021 balance sheet date.
As we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset was below its carrying value, the Company performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of the September 30, 2021 balance sheet date. The Company utilized the relief from royalty approach to estimate the fair value of the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include projected revenue growth, the royalty rate and the discount rate. As a result of the changes in these assumptions, we recognized a $200.6 million non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended September 30, 2021 in the line item goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations, which represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset and its carrying value. The carrying value of the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset prior to the impairment charge was $610.0 million.
The Company evaluated its asset groups, including operating lease right-of-use assets that were evaluated based on clinic-level cash flows and clinic-specific market factors, noting no material impairment.

The carrying value of goodwill prior to the impairment charge was $910.7 million.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates and market factors. Estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible assets requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include projected future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, terminal growth rates, discount rates, relevant market multiples, royalty rates and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates, margins and cash flows are not met, or if market factors outside of our control change significantly, then our reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets might become impaired in the future, negatively impacting our operating results and financial position. As the carrying amounts of goodwill and the Company’s trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset were impaired as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 and written down to fair value, those amounts are more susceptible to an impairment risk if there are unfavorable changes in assumptions and estimates.
Immaterial revision to prior period
We have identified an immaterial prior period revision with respect to the amount of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, specifically related to the assumed benefit to enterprise value as of June 30, 2021 associated with the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards. We evaluated the effects of this error on our previously-issued condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” ASC Topic 250-10-S99-1, “Assessing Materiality,” and ASC Topic 250-10-S99-2, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” and concluded that no prior period is materially misstated. Accordingly, we have revised our condensed consolidated financial statements for the impacted prior periods herein. The revision decreased accumulated deficit by $13.3 million as of June 30, 2021. The impacted periods will be revised in future filings as applicable.

2016 first and second lien credit agreements
In connection with the Business Combination on June 16, 2021, the Company paid down $216.7 million of its first lien term loan. The Company recognized $1.7 million in charges related to the derecognition of the proportionate amount of remaining unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized original issue discount associated with the partial debt repayment.
25


In connection with the Business Combination on June 16, 2021, the Company paid $231.3 million to settle its second lien subordinated term loan. The Company recognized $3.8 million in charges related to the derecognition of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs in conjunction with the debt repayment.
The total loss on debt extinguishment associated with the partial repayment of the first lien term loan and the settlement of the second lien subordinated term loan was $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This amount has been reflected in other expense (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s credit agreements contain covenants with which ATI Holdings Acquisition, Inc. (the “Borrower") must comply. For the first lien credit agreement, the Borrower must maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter when the sum of the outstanding balance of revolving loans, swingline loans and certain letters of credit exceeds 30% of the total revolving credit facility commitment, a ratio of consolidated first lien net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the agreements, not to exceed 6.25:1.00. Depending on future performance over the next twelve months, we expect the ratio may exceed 6.25:1.00. If the ratio exceeds 6.25:1.00 as of the last day of a fiscal quarter, then the sum of the outstanding balance of revolving loans, swingline loans and certain letters of credit would effectively be limited to 30% of the total revolving credit facility commitment. Additionally, the agreements are subject to subjective acceleration clauses, effective upon a material adverse change in the Company’s business or financial condition. As of September 30, 2021, the Borrower was in compliance with the financial covenant contained in the first lien agreement.

The first lien agreement includes a revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing capacity of $70.0 million, including $15.0 million sub-limit for swingline loans and amounts available for letters of credit. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of swingline loans reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility.
The first lien revolving facility matures on May 10, 2023 unless (a) as of February 9, 2023 (the “Springing Maturity Date”), either (i) more than $100.0 million of first lien term loans remain outstanding on the Springing Maturity Date or (ii) the debt incurred to refinance any portion of the first lien term loans in excess of $100.0 million does not satisfy specified parameters, in which case the first lien revolving facility will mature on February 9, 2023, or (b) the Borrower makes certain prohibited restricted payments as defined in the agreement, in which case the first lien revolving facility will mature on the date of such restricted payment.
The Company drew amounts of $19.0 million and $49.8 million under its revolving credit facility in March and April 2020, respectively. The Company repaid the borrowed amounts in full in June 2020. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
The Company had letters of credit totaling $1.2 million under the letter of credit sub-facility on the revolving credit facilities as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The letters of credit auto-renew on an annual basis and are pledged to insurance carriers as collateral.

Note 9. Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based compensation awarded to employees, net of forfeitures, using a fair value-based method. The grant-date fair value of each award is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period. Compensation expense associated with share-based awards is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Share-based compensation expense is adjusted for forfeitures as incurred.
Wilco Acquisition, LP 2016 Equity Incentive Plan
Prior to the Business Combination, Wilco Acquisition, LP was the parent company of Wilco Holdco, Inc. and its subsidiaries. In 2016, the Company adopted the Wilco Acquisition, LP 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) under which, prior to the Business Combination, it granted profit interests of Wilco Acquisition, LP in the form of Incentive Common Units, to members of management, key employees and independent directors of Wilco Acquisition, LP and its subsidiaries.
Service-based vesting
Prior to the Business Combination, Wilco Acquisition, LP granted Incentive Common Units, subject to service-based vesting, to members of management, key employees and independent directors. Following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of service-based ICUs are entitled to a distribution of a number of Class A common shares of ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. based on the distribution priorities under the Wilco Acquisition, LP limited partnership agreement. The shares related to vested service-based ICUs convert to unrestricted Class A common shares of ATI. The shares related to unvested service-based ICUs convert to restricted Class A common shares of ATI eligible to vest over the shorter of: (a) the existing vesting schedule applicable to the underlying ICUs, or (b) in installments on each quarterly anniversary of the closing over three years post-closing, subject to the grantee's continued service through each vesting date.
Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, total share-based compensation expense related to service-based awards recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense related to service-based awards recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2021, the remaining unvested restricted shares from converted service-based ICUs totaled 0.3 million Class A common shares, with unrecognized compensation expense of $2.1 million to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. There were no service-based awards granted under the 2016 Plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
27


Performance-based vesting
Prior to the Business Combination, Wilco Acquisition, LP granted Incentive Common Units, subject to performance-based vesting, to members of management, key employees and independent directors. Following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of performance-based ICUs are entitled to a distribution of a number of Class A common shares of ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. based on the distribution priorities under the Wilco Acquisition, LP limited partnership agreement. The shares related to performance-based ICUs convert to restricted Class A common shares of ATI eligible to vest in installments on each quarterly anniversary of the closing over the shorter of: (a) the eight-year period from the original grant date of the underlying ICUs, or (b) three years post-closing, subject to the grantee’s continued service through each vesting date.
Based on the terms of the performance-based ICUs, commencement of vesting is generally contingent upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change-in-control subject to the achievement of specified investment returns of certain Wilco Acquisition, LP unit holders, or an initial public offering (“IPO”). Under the terms of the award agreements, in the event of an IPO, the performance-based vesting requirements convert to service-based vesting requirements. The performance-based awards follow the treatment of an IPO as a result of the Business Combination.
Prior to the Business Combination, no share-based compensation expense was recognized related to the performance-based awards, as a change-in-control or IPO cannot be assessed as probable prior to its occurrence. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company began recognizing share-based compensation expense associated with the performance-based awards. Recognition of such expense follows a straight-line expense allocation based on the original grant date and the shorter of (a) the eight-year period from the original grant date of the underlying ICUs, or (b) three years post-closing of the Business Combination. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $(0.3) million and $2.4 million of share-based compensation expense, including the impact of forfeitures, related to the performance-based awards, respectively.
As of September 30, 2021, the remaining unvested restricted shares from converted performance-based ICUs totaled 0.6 million shares, with unrecognized compensation expense of $1.8 million to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. There were no performance-based awards granted under the 2016 Plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Unallocated and forfeited Incentive Common Units
ATI and Wilco Acquisition, LP intend to cancel 0.5 million Class A common shares of ATI received by Wilco Acquisition, LP in connection with the Business Combination in respect of the remaining unallocated ICU pool. ATI intends to amend the ATI Physical Therapy 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") to increase the share reserve by 0.5 million Class A common shares of ATI and to grant to certain employees restricted Class A common shares of ATI that vest on a quarterly basis over a three year period, subject to the grantee’s continued service through each vesting date.
If any restricted shares of ATI are forfeited following the closing of the Business Combination and prior to vesting, such shares will be cancelled and ATI intends to amend the 2021 Plan to permit such shares to be reissued as awards under the 2021 Plan.
ATI 2021 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the ATI Physical Therapy 2021 Equity Incentive Plan under which it may grant equity interests of ATI Physical Therapy, Inc., in the form of share-based awards, to members of management, key employees and independent directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee is authorized to make grants and to make various other decisions under the 2021 Plan. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan is approximately 20.7 million. There were no awards granted under the 2021 Plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Note 10. Stockholders' Equity
ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. preferred stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2021, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A common stock
The Company is authorized to issue 470.0 million shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

At September 30, 2021, there were 207.3 million shares of Class A common stock issued and 197.3 million shares outstanding.
As a result of the recapitalization associated with the Business Combination, shares are reflected as if they were issued and outstanding as of the earliest reported period to reflect the new capital structure. At the time of the Business Combination, stockholders of Wilco Holdco, Inc. received 130.3 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for the outstanding shares of Wilco Holdco common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that such stockholders owned. Upon conversion of unvested Incentive Common Units granted prior to the Business Combination under the Wilco Acquisition, LP 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, 2.0 million of these shares were restricted subject to vesting requirements, resulting in total unrestricted shares of 128.3 million and an exchange ratio of 136.7 unrestricted shares of ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. for every previously outstanding Wilco Holdco share.
As of September 30, 2021, shares of Class A common stock reserved for potential future issuance, on an as-if converted basis, were as follows (in thousands):

Note 11. Wilco Holdco Series A Preferred Stock
On May 10, 2016, Wilco Holdco, Inc. issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “preferred stock”) for a total consideration value of $98.0 million. Prior to the Business Combination, the preferred stock was a class of equity that had priority over the Common Stock with respect to distribution rights, liquidation rights and dividend rights.
The preferred stockholders, from and after issuance, were entitled to cumulative preferred dividends at an annual rate per share equal to 10.25% of the original issue price. The dividend rate of the preferred stock increased by 0.25% at the end of each fiscal quarter beginning after the second anniversary of the issuance of the preferred stock.
29


Based on the terms of the preferred stockholder agreement, Wilco Holdco, Inc. was required to redeem all outstanding shares of preferred stock upon the occurrence of certain events, such as those related to full repayment of the first and second lien credit agreements or a deemed liquidating event. Based on these redemption requirements, the preferred stock was classified as debt (redeemable preferred stock) in the Company’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cumulative dividends related to the preferred stock were accrued as preferred dividends that increased the balance of the redeemable preferred stock on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and were recognized as interest expense on redeemable preferred stock in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred cumulative preferred dividends related to the preferred stock of zero and $4.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred cumulative preferred dividends related to the preferred stock of $10.1 million, and $13.9 million, respectively. No dividends were paid related to the preferred stock.
In connection with the Business Combination, holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock received a proportionate share of $59.0 million and 12.8 million shares of Class A common stock based on the settlement terms in the Merger Agreement. The Company recorded a loss on settlement of redeemable preferred stock in the condensed consolidated statement of operations of $14.0 million based on the value of the cash and equity provided to preferred stockholders in relation to the outstanding redeemable preferred stock liability. The balance of redeemable preferred stock was zero and $163.3 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Note 12. Warrant Liability
The Company has outstanding Public Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and outstanding Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3.0 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock. There were no warrants exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The Company accounts for its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) and determined that the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder. As such, each Warrant must be recorded as a liability and is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognized in change in fair value of warrant liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table presents the change in the fair value of warrant liability, since the Closing Date of the Business Combination, that is recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the respective periods (in thousands):
Private Placement Warrants Public Warrants Warrant Liability
Fair value as of Business Combination, June 16, 2021 $ 8,099  $ 18,837  $ 26,936 
Changes in fair value (1,365) (3,174) (4,539)
Fair value as of June 30, 2021 $ 6,734  $ 15,663  $ 22,397 
Changes in fair value (4,776) (11,109) (15,885)
Fair value as of September 30, 2021
$ 1,958  $ 4,554  $ 6,512 
30


Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain conditions, including that the Company maintains an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption for cash or for Class A common stock under certain circumstances.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that (i) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (ii) the Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable (except under certain circumstances) so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees, (iii) the Private Placement Warrants may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, and (iv) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The exercise price and number of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.
Note 13. Contingent Common Shares Liability
Earnout Shares
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of Wilco Holdco, Inc. were provided the contingent right to receive, in the aggregate, up to 15.0 million shares of Class A common stock if, from the closing of the Business Combination until the 10th anniversary thereof, the dollar volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Class A common stock exceeds certain thresholds:
The first issuance of 5.0 million Earnout Shares will occur if the VWAP exceeds $12.00 for any 5 trading days within any consecutive 10 trading day period.
The second issuance of 5.0 million Earnout Shares will occur if the VWAP exceeds $14.00 for any 5 trading days within any consecutive 10 trading day period.
The third issuance of 5.0 million Earnout Shares will occur if the VWAP exceeds $16.00 for any 5 trading days within any consecutive 10 trading day period.
The Earnout Shares are subject to acceleration in the event of a sale or other change in control if the holders of Class A common stock would receive a per share price in excess of the applicable Earnout Shares price target.
The Company accounts for the potential Earnout Shares as a liability in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. On June 16, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the potential Earnout Shares to be $140.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, no Earnout Shares have been issued as none of the corresponding share price thresholds have been met.
31


During the period from June 16, 2021 to September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Earnout Shares decreased to $33.8 million, resulting in a gain of $92.9 million and a gain of $106.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, recorded as a component of change in fair value of contingent common shares liability in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The fair value of the Earnout Shares as of September 30, 2021 was $33.8 million and was recorded as a component of contingent common shares liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 14 - Fair Value Measurements for further details.
Vesting Shares
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Letter Agreement that was executed in connection with the Merger Agreement, 8.6 million shares of Class F common stock of FAII outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination converted to potential Class A common shares and became subject to vesting and forfeiture provisions. The Vesting Shares vest in three equal tranches of 2.9 million shares each if the trading price of common stock exceeds certain thresholds within 10 years of the Closing Date:
The first issuance of 2.9 million Vesting Shares will occur if the VWAP exceeds $12.00 for any 5 trading days within any consecutive 10 trading day period.
The second issuance of 2.9 million Vesting Shares will occur if the VWAP exceeds $14.00 for any 5 trading days within any consecutive 10 trading day period.
The third issuance of 2.9 million Vesting Shares will occur if the VWAP exceeds $16.00 for any 5 trading days within any consecutive 10 trading day period.
The Vesting Shares are subject to acceleration in the event of a sale or other change in control if the holders of Class A common stock would receive a per share price in excess of the applicable Vesting Shares price target.
The Company accounts for the Vesting Shares as a liability in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. On June 16, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the Vesting Shares to be $80.5 million. As of September 30, 2021, no Vesting Shares are outstanding as none of the corresponding share price thresholds have been met.
During the period from June 16, 2021 to September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Vesting Shares decreased to $19.4 million, resulting in a gain of $53.4 million and a gain of $61.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, recorded as a component of change in fair value of contingent common shares liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the Vesting Shares as of September 30, 2021 was $19.4 million and was recorded as a component of contingent common shares liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 14 - Fair Value Measurements for further details.
32


Note 14. Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines fair value measurements used in its condensed consolidated financial statements based upon the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.
Level 1: Observable inputs, which include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the instruments.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these items.
The Company’s term loan and revolving line of credit are Level 2 fair value measures which have variable interest rates and, therefore, the recorded amounts approximate fair value. The Company utilizes the market approach valuation technique based on interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and maturities.
Fair value measurement of share-based financial liabilities
The Company determined the fair value of the Public Warrant liability using Level 1 inputs.
The Company determined the fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liability using the price of the Public Warrants as a Level 2 input.
The Company determined the fair value of the Earnout Shares liability and Vesting Shares liability using Level 3 inputs. The contingent common shares contain specific market conditions to determine whether the shares vest based on the Company’s common stock price over a specified measurement period. Given the path-dependent nature of the requirement in which the shares are earned, a Monte-Carlo simulation was used to estimate the fair value of the liability. The Company’s common stock price was simulated to each measurement period based on the above methodology. In each iteration, the simulated stock price was compared to the conditions under which the shares vest. In iterations where the stock price corresponded to shares vesting, the future value of the vesting shares was discounted back to present value. The fair value of the liability was estimated based on the average of all iterations of the simulation.
Inherent in a Monte Carlo valuation model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility based on the historical volatility of certain guideline companies as of the valuation date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected term of the Earnout Shares and Vesting Shares. The dividend yield percentage is zero based on the Company's current expectations related to the payment of dividends during the expected term of the Earnout Shares or Vesting Shares.
33


The key inputs into the Monte Carlo option pricing model were as follows as of the Closing Date and September 30, 2021 for the respective Level 3 instruments:
Earnout Shares Vesting Shares
June 16, 2021
September 30, 2021

Share price $10.28 $3.80 $10.28 $3.80
The following table presents the changes in the fair value for the respective Level 3 instruments, since the Closing Date of the Business Combination, that is recognized in change in fair value of contingent common shares liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods (in thousands):

Fair value as of Business Combination, June 16, 2021 $ 140,000  $ 80,500 
Changes in fair value (13,300) (7,648)

Note 15. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate and income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were 7.8% and $28.3 million, compared to an effective tax rate and income tax expense of 69.4% and $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The effective tax rate and income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were 6.9% and $58.5 million, compared to an effective tax rate and income tax expense of 254.5% and $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was estimated based on full-year 2021 forecast. The estimated effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate primarily due to nondeductible transaction costs and interest expense on redeemable preferred stock. In addition, there was no basis in a significant component of the goodwill impaired for tax purposes. Therefore, a portion of the book impairment charge will never create a deduction for tax purposes in any period. As a result, this permanent difference has a substantial impact on the effective tax rate. The estimated effective tax rate applicable to year-to-date losses, in addition to the tax-effect of nondeductible impairment charges, nondeductible loss on settlement of redeemable preferred stock and fair value adjustments related to liability-classified share-based instruments, partially offset by increases in valuation allowances, resulted in a tax benefit of $28.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and a tax benefit of $58.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
34


The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was estimated based on full-year 2020 forecast. The effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate primarily due to nondeductible interest expense on redeemable preferred stock. The estimated effective tax rate applicable to year-to-date losses exclusive of discrete income, in addition to the tax-effect of income related to general distribution payments recognized under the Provider Relief Fund of the CARES Act, resulted in tax expense of $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and tax expense of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
In evaluating the Company's ability to recover deferred income tax assets, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, operating results and forecasts of future taxable income in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As of September 30, 2021, the Company determined that a significant portion of its federal and state net operating loss carryforwards with definite carryforward periods, state credits and certain deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized based on the weight of available evidence. As a result, the Company recorded an increase of $19.1 million to its valuation allowance related to federal net operating loss carryforwards and an increase of $10.0 million to its valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carryforwards and certain deferred tax assets. These amounts were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 in income tax (benefit) expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had an uncertain tax position related to the tax treatment of tenant improvement allowances. We believe that it is probable that our gross unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced before the year ended December 31, 2021 by $3.0 million due to anticipated tax filings.
Note 16. Leases
The Company leases various facilities and office equipment for its physical therapy operations and administrative support functions under operating leases. The Company’s initial operating lease terms are generally between 7 and 10 years. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The amortization of operating lease ROU assets and the accretion of operating lease liabilities are reported together as fixed lease expense. The fixed lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.
Lease costs are included as components of clinic operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Lease costs incurred by lease type were as follows for the periods indicated below (in thousands):

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings, governmental audits and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings, governmental audits and investigations of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require disclosure of the contingency and the possible range of loss. The outcome of any litigation and claims against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of current or future claims could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
Shareholder complaints
On August 16, 2021, two purported ATI shareholders, Kevin Burbige and Ziyang Nie, filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against ATI, Labeed Diab, Joe Jordan, and Drew McKnight (collectively, the “ATI Individual Defendants”), and Joshua Pack, Marc Furstein, Leslee Cowen, Aaron Hood, Carmen Policy, Rakefet Russak-Aminoach, and Sunil Gulati (collectively, the “FVAC Defendants”). The Burbige/Nie complaint asserts claims against: (i) the ATI Individual Defendants under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”); and (ii) the ATI Individual Defendants and the FVAC Defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs Burbige and Nie purport to assert their claims on behalf of those ATI shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired their ATI shares between April 1, 2021 and July 23, 2021, inclusive, and/or held FVAC Class A common shares as of May 24, 2021 and were eligible to vote at FVAC’s June 15, 2021 special meeting.
On October 7, 2021, another purported ATI shareholder, City of Melbourne Firefighters' Retirement System ("City of Melbourne"), filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the ATI Individual Defendants and the FVAC Defendants. Like the Burbige/Nie complaint, the City of Melbourne complaint asserts claims against (i) the ATI Individual Defendants under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act; and (ii) the ATI Individual Defendants and the FVAC Defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. City of Melbourne purports to assert its claims on behalf of those ATI shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired their ATI shares between February 22, 2021 and July 23, 2021, inclusive, and/or held FVAC Class A common shares as of May 24, 2021 and were eligible to vote at FVAC’s June 15, 2021 special meeting.
The Burbige/Nie and City of Melbourne complaints generally allege that the proxy materials for the FVAC/ATI merger, as well as other ATI disclosures (including the press release announcing ATI’s financial results for the first quarter of 2021), were false and misleading (and, thus, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act) because they failed to disclose that: (i) ATI was experiencing attrition among its physical therapists; (ii) ATI faced increasing competition for clinicians in the labor market; (iii) as a result, ATI faced difficulty retaining therapists and incurred increased labor costs; (iv) also as a result, ATI would open fewer new clinics; and (v) also as a result, the defendants’ positive statements about ATI’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. Plaintiffs seek money damages in an unspecified amount. Potential charges related to the complaints are not considered probable at this time.
Regulatory matters
On November 5, 2021, the Company received from the SEC a voluntary request for the production of documents relating to the earnings forecast and financial information referenced in the Company's July 26, 2021 Form 8-K and related matters. The Company is cooperating with the SEC in connection with this request.
37


Registration rights
The holders of the Vesting Shares and Private Placement Warrants (including any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Indemnifications
The Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by them in any action or proceeding to which any of them are, or are threatened to be, made a party by reason of their service as a director or officer. The Company maintains director and officer insurance coverage that would generally enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The ultimate cost of potential future litigation may exceed the Company’s current insurance coverages and may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The Company also may be subject to indemnification obligations by law with respect to the actions of its employees under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions.
Note 18. (Loss) Earnings per Share
Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, preferred shares are treated as participating securities and therefore are included in computing earnings per common share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that calculates basic and diluted net earnings per common share for each class of common stock separately based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if the earnings for the year had been distributed. As the preferred stockholders do not participate in losses, for any periods with a net loss, there is no allocation to participating securities in the period.
No undistributed earnings or losses were allocated to the preferred shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of the closing of the Business Combination, the Wilco Holdco Series A Preferred shares were no longer outstanding.

Note 19. Subsequent Events
On August 25, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to divest its Home Health service line. On October 1, 2021, the transaction closed with a sale price of $7.3 million. The major classes of assets and liabilities associated with the Home Health service line consisted of predominantly accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities which were not material.
The Company evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to September 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, it was determined that no subsequent events other than the items noted above and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report occurred that require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We operate with a commitment to providing our patients, medical provider partners, payors and employers with evidence-based, patient-centric care.
We offer a variety of services within our clinics, including physical therapy to treat spine, shoulder, knee and neck injuries or pain; work injury rehabilitation services, including work conditioning and work hardening; hand therapy; and other specialized treatment services. Our Company’s team of professionals is dedicated to helping return patients to optimal physical health.
Physical therapy patients receive team-based care, leading-edge techniques and individualized treatment plans in an encouraging environment. To achieve optimal results, we use an extensive array of techniques including therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and strength training, among others. Our physical therapy model aims to deliver optimized outcomes and time to recovery for patients, insights and service satisfaction for referring providers and predictable costs and measurable value for payors.
41


In addition to providing services to physical therapy patients at outpatient rehabilitation clinics, we provide services through our ATI Worksite Solutions (“AWS”) program, Management Service Agreements (“MSA”), Home Health, and Sports Medicine arrangements. AWS provides an on-site team of healthcare professionals at employer worksites to promote work-related injury prevention, facilitate expedient and appropriate return-to-work follow-up and maintain the health and well-being of the workforce. Our MSA arrangements typically include the Company providing management and physical therapy-related services to physician-owned physical therapy clinics. Home Health offers in-home rehabilitation (refer to Note 19 - Subsequent Events in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding the divestiture of Home Health). Sports Medicine arrangements provide certified healthcare professionals to various schools, universities and other institutions to perform on-site physical therapy and rehabilitation services.
The Business Combination
On June 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), a Business Combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) was finalized pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"), dated February 21, 2021 between the operating company, Wilco Holdco, Inc., (“Wilco Holdco”) and Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II (herein referred to as "FAII" and "FVAC"), a special purpose acquisition company. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II to ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “ATIP.”
At the time of the Business Combination, stockholders of Wilco Holdco, Inc. received 130.3 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for the outstanding shares of Wilco Holdco common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that such stockholders owned. Immediately following the Business Combination, there were 207.3 million issued shares of Class A common stock of ATI Physical Therapy, Inc.
As part of the Business Combination, the Company received cash of $345.0 million from cash in trust with FAII and $300.0 million of cash from the PIPE investment, net of $89.9 million of cash used for redemptions and Wilco Holdco and FAII transaction costs. The funds received by the Company were used for full repayment of the second lien term loan of $231.3 million, partial repayment of the first lien term loan of $216.7 million, cash payment to Wilco Holdco preferred stockholders of $59.0 million and Wilco Holdco transaction costs. Refer to Note 3 - Business Combination in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
The Company had outstanding Public Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and outstanding Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3.0 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock immediately following the closing of the Business Combination. Refer to Note 12 - Warrant Liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
In addition, certain stockholders may receive up to 15.0 million Earnout Shares and 8.6 million Vesting Shares if the price of Class A common stock trading on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds certain thresholds during the ten-year period following the completion of the Business Combination. Refer to Note 13 - Contingent Common Shares Liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Recent changes in company CEO and CHRO leadership
Effective July 23, 2021, Cedric Coco, Chief Human Resources Officer ("CHRO"), resigned from the Company. The Company and Mr. Coco entered into a mutual release pursuant to which Mr. Coco is eligible for the payments and benefits in accordance with Mr. Coco's employment agreement.
42


Effective August 7, 2021, Labeed Diab stepped down from his positions as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company and as a member of the board of directors of the Company. The Company and Mr. Diab entered into a mutual release pursuant to which Mr. Diab is eligible for the payments and benefits in accordance with Mr. Diab's employment agreement.
Trends and Factors Affecting the Company’s Future Performance and Comparability of Results

As a result of developing trends in our business, we are expecting that our results for 2021 will be significantly adversely affected as compared to our prior expectations, including in respect of revenue, net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA. These trends are likely to continue to have adverse effects on us in future periods after 2021 as well.
We believe that these adverse effects are attributable to a combination of factors, which include:
The attrition of our workforce during the second quarter and third quarter of 2021 caused, in part, by changes made during the COVID-19 pandemic related to compensation, staffing levels and support for clinicians. We have taken swift actions to offset those changes, but the Company expects the impact of attrition will impact overall profitability for the year.
Labor market dynamics increased competition for the available physical therapy providers in the workforce, creating wage inflation and elevated employee attrition at ATI, negatively affecting our ability to capitalize on continued demand for physical therapy services.
Decrease in rate per visit primarily driven by continuing less favorable payor and state mix when compared to pre-pandemic profile, with general shift from workers compensation and auto personal injury to commercial and government, and further impacted by mix-shift out of higher reimbursement states.
Lower than expected patient visit volumes caused, in part, by volume softness in certain regions and states.
Our ability to achieve our business plan and revised expectations for the remainder of 2021 depends upon a number of factors, including the success of a number of continued steps being taken related to clinical staffing levels and improving visit volume growth.
The Company determined that the revision to its forecast in late July 2021, including the factors related to the revision of its forecast, constituted an interim triggering event that required further analysis with respect to potential impairment to goodwill, trade name indefinite-lived intangible and other assets. Accordingly, the Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing and determined that the fair value amounts were below the respective carrying amounts. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $433.2 million related to goodwill and $33.7 million related to the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset as of the June 30, 2021 balance sheet date. These charges are non-cash in nature and do not affect our liquidity or debt covenants.
43


In October 2021, the Company reported a further revision to its forecast to reflect lower than expected patient visit volume. The Company determined that the factors related to the revision of its forecast that were present as of September 30, 2021 constituted an interim triggering event that required further analysis with respect to potential impairment to goodwill, trade name indefinite-lived intangible and other assets. Accordingly, the Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing and determined that the fair value amounts were below the respective carrying amounts. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $307.4 million related to goodwill and $200.6 million related to the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset as of the September 30, 2021 balance sheet date. These charges are non-cash in nature and do not affect our liquidity or debt covenants. Refer to Note 5 - Goodwill, Trade Name and Other Intangible Assets in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
COVID-19 pandemic and volume impacts 
The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic in the United States resulted in changes to our operating environment. We continue to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, and our priorities remain protecting the health and safety of employees and patients, maximizing the availability of services to satisfy patient needs, and improving the operational and financial stability of our business.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, visits per day ("VPD") decreased to a low point of 12,643 during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Since then, quarterly VPD was 18,159, 19,441, 19,520, 21,569 and 20,674 in the quarters ended September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, as local restrictions in certain markets, referral levels and individual routines evolved compared to prior periods.
As demand for physical therapy services has increased in the market since its low-point during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company has focused on increasing its clinical staffing levels by hiring more clinicians, and reducing levels of clinician attrition that have been elevated relative to historical standards. The elevated levels of attrition were caused, in part, by changes made during the COVID-19 pandemic related to compensation, staffing levels and support for clinicians. We have implemented a range of actions related to compensation, staffing levels and other items in an effort to retain and attract therapists across our platform, which has increased our current and future expectations for labor costs. As we improve our staffing levels, we are working toward improving labor productivity as we onboard newly hired clinicians. In an effort to drive more volume and visits per day, in addition to integrating our new team members, we are working to strengthen relationships with our partner providers and other referral sources across our geographic footprint, increasing our investment in digital marketing campaigns, and entered into a strategic partnership with a national direct primary care provider to combine our respective services into an integrated offering and expand our reach in the market.
44


The chart below reflects the quarterly trend in VPD.
ATI-20210930_G1.JPG
The COVID-19 pandemic is still evolving and the full extent of its future impact remains unknown and difficult to predict. The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the virus and its newly identified strains, effectiveness and adoption rates of vaccines and other therapeutic remedies, the potential for continued or reinstated restrictive policies enforced by federal, state and local government, and the impact on our workforce of mandatory vaccination of employees, all of which create uncertainty and cannot be predicted. While we expect the disruption caused by COVID-19 and resulting impacts to diminish over time, we cannot predict the length of such impacts, and if such impacts continue for an extended period, it could have a continued effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, which could be material.
45


CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law providing reimbursement, grants, waivers and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has realized benefits under the CARES Act including, but not limited to, the following:
In 2020, the Company received approximately $91.5 million of general distribution payments under the Provider Relief Fund of which $23.1 million and $67.4 million was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. These payments have been recognized as other income in the consolidated statements of operations throughout 2020 in a manner commensurate with the reporting and eligibility requirements issued by HHS. Based on the terms and conditions of the program, including reporting guidance issued by HHS in 2021, the Company believes that it has met the applicable terms and conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, the fact that the Company’s COVID-19 related expenses and lost revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 exceeded the amount of funds received. To the extent that reporting requirements and terms and conditions are subsequently modified, it may affect the Company’s ability to comply and ability to retain the funds. The following table summarizes the quarterly recognition of general distribution payments recognized in other expense (income), net in the Company's 2020 statements of operations (in millions):
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2020 June 30, 2020 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2020 Total
$ —  $ (44.3) $ (23.1) $ (24.1) $ (91.5)
The Company applied for and attained approval to receive $26.7 million of Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program ("MAAPP") funds during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repaid $8.5 million in MAAPP funds, with remaining amounts required to be repaid by the quarter ending September 30, 2022. Because the Company has not yet met all required performance obligations or performed the services related to the remaining funds, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $18.2 million and $15.5 million of the funds are recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, and zero and $11.2 million of the funds are recorded in other non-current liabilities, respectively. The Company expects nearly all remaining advanced payments to be applied by the quarter ending June 30, 2022.
The Company elected to defer depositing the employer portion of Social Security taxes for payments due from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020, interest-free and penalty-free. Related to these payments, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $5.5 million is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and $5.5 million is included in other non-current liabilities.
Market and industry trends and factors

Outpatient physical therapy services growth. Outpatient physical therapy continues to play a key role in treating musculoskeletal conditions for patients. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), musculoskeletal conditions impact individuals of all ages and include some of the most common health issues in the U.S. As healthcare trends in the U.S. continue to evolve, with a growing focus on value-based care emphasizing up-front, conservative care to deliver better outcomes, quality healthcare services addressing such conditions in lower cost outpatient settings may continue increasing in prevalence.

46


U.S. population demographics. The population of adults aged 65 and older in the U.S. is expected to continue to grow and thus expand the Company’s market opportunity. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of adults over the age of 65 is expected to grow 40% from 2016 through 2030.

Federal funding for Medicare and Medicaid. Federal and state funding of Medicare and Medicaid and the terms of access to these reimbursement programs affect demand for physical therapy services. Beginning in January 2021, the physical therapy industry observed a reduction of Medicare reimbursement rates of approximately 3% in accordance with the Medicare physician fee schedule for therapy services. A further reduction of 2% through sequestration relief has been postponed until December 31, 2021. The proposed 2022 budget, released by CMS in July 2021, calls for an approximate 3.5% further reduction in reimbursement rates as well as a 15% decrease in payments for services performed by physical therapy assistants. The sequestration relief expiring on December 31, 2021 will result in an incremental 2% reduction in reimbursement unless acted upon through a Congressional measure.
Workers’ compensation funding. Payments received under certain workers’ compensation arrangements may be based on predetermined state fee schedules, which may be impacted by changes in state funding.

Number of people with private health insurance. Physical therapy services are often covered by private health insurance. Individuals covered by private health insurance may be more likely to use healthcare services because it helps offset the cost of such services. As health insurance coverage rises, demand for physical therapy services tends to also increase.
Key Components of Operating Results

Net patient revenue. Net patient revenues are recorded for physical therapy services that the Company provides to patients including physical therapy, work conditioning, hand therapy, aquatic therapy and functional capacity assessment. Net patient revenue is recognized based on contracted amounts with payors or other established rates, adjusted for the estimated effects of any variable consideration, such as contractual allowances and implicit price concessions. Visit volume is primarily driven by conversion of physician referrals and marketing efforts.
Other revenue. Other revenue consists of revenue generated by our AWS, MSA, Home Health and Sports Medicine service lines.
Salaries and related costs. Salaries and related costs consist primarily of wages and benefits for our healthcare professionals engaged directly and indirectly in providing services to patients.
Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other. Comprised of non-salary, clinic related expenses consisting of rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other costs including travel expenses and depreciation at our clinics.
Provision for doubtful accounts. Provision for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s estimate of net operating revenue recorded during the period that may ultimately prove uncollectible based on historical write-off experience.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits for corporate personnel, corporate outside services, marketing costs, depreciation of corporate fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets and certain corporate level professional fees, including those related to legal, accounting and payroll.
47


Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges. Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges represent non-cash charges associated with the write-down of both goodwill and trade name indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Change in fair value of warrant liability. Represents non-cash amounts related to the change in the estimated fair value of Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants.
Change in fair value of contingent common shares liability. Represents non-cash amounts related to the change in the estimated fair value of Earnout Shares and Vesting Shares.
Loss on settlement of redeemable preferred stock. Represents the loss on settlement of the redeemable preferred stock liability based on the value of cash and equity provided to preferred stockholders in relation to the outstanding redeemable preferred stock liability at the time of the closing of the Business Combination.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense includes the cost of borrowing under the Company’s credit facility and amortization of deferred financing costs.
Interest expense on redeemable preferred stock. Represents interest expense related to accruing dividends on the Company’s redeemable preferred stock based on contract terms.
Other expense (income). Other expense (income) is comprised of income statement activity not related to the core operations of the Company.
Key Business Metrics
When evaluating the results of operations, management has identified a number of metrics that allow for specific evaluation of performance on a more detailed basis. See “Results of Operations” for further discussion on financial statement metrics such as net operating revenue, net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
Patient visits
As the main operations of the Company are driven by physical therapy services provided to patients, management considers total patient visits to be a key volume measure of such services. In addition to total patient visits, management analyzes (1) average VPD calculated as total patient visits divided by business days for the period, as this allows for comparability between time periods with an unequal number of business days, and (2) average VPD per clinic, calculated as average VPD divided by the average number of owned clinics open during the period.

Net patient revenue ("NPR") per visit
The Company calculates net patient revenue per visit, its most significant reimbursement metric, by dividing net patient revenue in a period by total patient visits in the same period.
48


Clinics
To better understand geographical and location-based trends, the Company evaluates metrics based on the 900 owned and 26 managed clinic locations as of September 30, 2021. De novo clinics represent organic new clinics opened during the current period based on sophisticated site selection analytics. Acqui-novo clinics represent an existing clinic, not previously owned by the Company, in a target geography that provides the Company with an immediate presence, available staff and referral relationships of the former owner within the surrounding areas. Same clinic revenue growth rate identifies revenue growth year over year on clinics that have been operating for over one year. This metric is determined by isolating the population of clinics that have been open for at least 12 months and calculating the percentage change in revenue of this population between the current and prior period.
The following table presents selected operating and financial data that we believe are key indicators of our operating performance.

Net patient revenue. Net patient revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $141.9 million compared to $132.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $9.1 million or 6.8%.

50


The increase in net patient revenue was primarily driven by increased visit volumes as a result of COVID-19 restrictions in local markets and referral levels evolving, partially offset by unfavorable net patient revenue per visit. Total patient visits increased by approximately 0.2 million visits, or 13.8%, driving an increase in average visits per day of 2,515, or 13.8%. Net patient revenue per visit decreased $6.95, or 6.2%, to $105.56 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net patient revenue per visit during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by unfavorable mix shifts related to payor classes, states and services.

The following chart reflects additional detail with respect to drivers of the change in net patient revenue (in millions).

Other revenue. Other revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $17.2 million compared to $15.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $1.3 million or 8.2%. The increase in other revenue was primarily driven by higher volumes in the Sports Medicine service line as a result of the evolution of COVID-19 restrictions, as well as higher volumes in the AWS service line as a result of the evolution of COVID-19 restrictions and expanded offerings in new locations.
Salaries and related costs. Salaries and related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $86.8 million compared to $78.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $8.8 million or 11.3%. Salaries and related costs as a percentage of net operating revenue was 54.6% and 52.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase of $8.8 million was primarily due to higher level of wages and benefits as the Company increased its labor supply as a result of higher visit volumes. The increase as a percentage of net operating revenue was primarily driven by higher compensation for clinic labor during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and lower clinic labor productivity.

51


Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other. Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other costs for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $45.8 million compared to $39.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $6.6 million or 16.8%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net operating revenue was 19.4% and 17.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase of $4.8 million and increase as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to higher transaction costs and public company operating costs, partially offset by lower business optimization, reorganization and severance costs during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges. Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $509.0 million.

Refer to Note 5 - Goodwill, Trade Name and Other Intangible Assets in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Change in fair value of warrant liability. Change in fair value of warrant liability for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $15.9 million.

The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by lower outstanding principal balances and lower effective interest rates under the Company’s first and second lien credit agreements during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Interest expense on redeemable preferred stock. Interest expense on redeemable preferred stock for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was zero compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $4.9 million.

Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $28.3 million compared to $2.3 million of expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a change of $30.6 million. The change was primarily driven by the difference in estimated annual effective tax rate applied to (loss) income before taxes for the respective periods. The effective tax rate was different between the respective periods primarily due to nondeductible impairment charges, nondeductible transaction costs fair value adjustments related to liability-classified share-based instruments and increases in valuation allowances for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and the tax-effect of income related to general distribution payments recognized under the Provider Relief Fund of the CARES Act for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Net (loss) income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flows, borrowings under our credit agreements and proceeds from equity issuances. We have used these funds to meet our short-term and long-term capital uses, which include salaries, benefits and other employee-related expenses, rent, clinical supplies, outside services, capital expenditures, acquisitions, de novos and acqui-novos and debt service. Our capital expenditure spend will depend on many factors, including the targeted number of new clinic openings, patient volumes, revenue growth rates and level of operating cash flows.
As a result of our debt maturity dates, we will be required to modify our facilities prior to expiration which may include new debt, amended agreements or restructured facilities. With respect to modified financing from outside sources, there is inherent risk that we may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all, and the cost or availability of future financing may be impacted by financial market conditions, including future developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we expect the disruption caused by COVID-19 and resulting impacts to diminish over time, we cannot predict the length of such impacts, and if such impacts continue for an extended period, it could have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity and financial condition. If additional capital is unavailable when desired, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. We believe our operating cash flow, combined with our existing cash, cash equivalents and credit facility, will continue to be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $66.1 million and $142.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively, and $70.0 million available under our revolving credit facility, less $1.2 million of outstanding letters of credit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had operating cash outflows of $38.7 million driven by items including expenses related to activity associated with the Business Combination, payments on credit balances due to patients and payors, payment of transaction-related amount due to former owners and partial repayment of MAAPP funds. Our ability to generate future operating cash flows depends on many factors, including patient volumes and revenue growth rates.
As part of the Business Combination, the Company received cash of $345.0 million from cash in trust with FAII and $300.0 million of cash from the PIPE investment, net of $89.9 million of cash used for redemptions and Wilco Holdco and FAII transaction costs. The funds received by the Company were used for full repayment of the second lien term loan of $231.3 million, partial repayment of the first lien term loan of $216.7 million, cash payment to Wilco Holdco preferred stockholders of $59.0 million and Wilco Holdco transaction costs. Refer to Note 3 - Business Combination in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $18.2 million and $26.7 million of MAAPP funds contributing to the balance of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $11.0 million of deferred Social Security taxes contributing to the balance of cash and cash equivalents. The Company began applying MAAPP funds to Medicare billings in the second quarter of 2021 and began remitting payments on its deferred employer Social Security taxes in the third quarter of 2021. The MAAPP funds and deferred employer Social Security taxes are required to be repaid prior to the end of 2022. As noted previously, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received approximately $91.5 million of general distribution payments under the Provider Relief Fund of the CARES Act.

We make reasonable and appropriate efforts to collect accounts receivable, including payor amounts and applicable patient deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance, in a consistent manner for all payor types. Claims are submitted to payors daily, weekly or monthly in accordance with our policy or payor’s requirements. When possible, we submit our claims electronically. The collection process is time consuming and typically involves the submission of claims to multiple payors whose payment of claims may be dependent upon the payment of another payor. Claims under litigation and vehicular incidents can take a year or longer to collect.     
2016 first and second lien credit agreements
On May 10, 2016, ATI Holdings Acquisition, Inc. (the “Borrower”) entered into (a) a First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) with, among others, the lenders party thereto and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and (b) a Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement” and, together with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements” and each, a “Credit Agreement”) with, among others, the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent.
In connection with the Business Combination on June 16, 2021, the Company paid down $216.7 million under its first lien term loan and paid $231.3 million to settle its second lien subordinated term loan.
The aggregate outstanding principal amount under the First Lien Credit Agreement was $553.5 million as of September 30, 2021 and the aggregate outstanding principal under the Credit Agreements was $999.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The term loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement is payable in quarterly installments and matures on May 10, 2023.
The First Lien Credit Agreement includes a revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing capacity of $70.0 million, including $15.0 million sub-limit for swingline loans and amounts available for letters of credit. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of swingline loans reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. The Borrower may make draws under the revolving credit facility to make or purchase additional investments and for general working capital purposes until the maturity date of the revolving credit facility.
The revolving facility under the First Lien Credit Agreement matures on May 10, 2023 unless (a) as of February 9, 2023 (the “Springing Maturity Date”), either (i) more than $100.0 million of first lien term loans remain outstanding on the Springing Maturity Date or (ii) the debt incurred to refinance any portion of the first lien term loans in excess of $100.0 million does not satisfy specified parameters, in which case the first lien revolving facility will mature on February 9, 2023, or (b) the Borrower makes certain prohibited restricted payments, in which case the first lien revolving facility will mature on the date of such restricted payment.
The 2016 first lien credit arrangement is guaranteed by Wilco Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and Guarantors.
The borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Borrower’s election, at a base interest rate of the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an interest rate spread, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The ABR is the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, and (iii) the prime rate. The LIBOR term may be one, two, three, or six months (or, to the extent available, 12 months or a shorter period).
62


The per annum interest rate spread for revolving and swingline loans are based on a pricing grid with applicable margin determined by the first lien leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2021, the applicable interest rate spreads were 3.00% for ABR revolving loans and 4.00% for LIBOR revolving loans. In addition to the stated interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% per annum on any unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on the pricing grid and our first lien leverage ratio.
The per annum interest rate spread for first lien term loan is (a) 2.50% for ABR loans and (b) 3.50% for LIBOR loans. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the effective interest rate for the first lien term loan was 4.9%.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants with which the Borrower must comply. For the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Borrower must maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter when the sum of the outstanding balance of revolving loans, swingline loans and certain letters of credit exceeds 30% of the total revolving credit facility commitment, a ratio of consolidated first lien net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, not to exceed 6.25:1.00. Depending on future performance over the next twelve months, we expect the ratio may exceed 6.25:1.00. If the ratio exceeds 6.25:1.00 as of the last day of a fiscal quarter, then the sum of the outstanding balance of revolving loans, swingline loans and certain letters of credit would effectively be limited to 30%, or approximately $21.0 million, of the total revolving credit facility commitment. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Borrower was in compliance with the financial covenant contained in the First Lien Credit Agreement.
Consolidated Cash Flows
The following table presents selected data from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

Nine Months Ended
($ in thousands) September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020
     
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities (38,663) 139,133 
Net cash used in investing activities (28,703) (15,693)
Net cash used in financing activities (8,670) (7,678)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents (76,036) 115,762 
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period 142,128  38,303 
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 66,092  $ 154,065 
Nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2020
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $38.7 million compared to $139.1 million provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 a change of $177.8 million. The change was primarily the result of higher cash outflows from expenses related to activity associated with the Business Combination, $6.9 million in payments on credit balances due to patients and payors, a $3.6 million payment of transaction-related amount due to former owners, $8.5 million of partial repayments of MAAPP funds, $17.6 million in year-over-year collection of accounts receivable, the 2020 inflow of $26.7 million of MAAPP funds not recurring in 2021, and the 2020 inflow of $91.5 million of general distribution payments under the Provider Relief Fund of the CARES Act not recurring in 2021.
63


Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $28.7 million compared to $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $13.0 million. The increase is primarily driven by $13.3 million of higher capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of a higher number of new clinics in the current period.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $8.7 million compared to $7.7 million of cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase was primarily driven by net cash inflows related to the Business Combination offset by higher distributions to non-controlling interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company may be subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business. The Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was not party to any material pending legal proceedings, except those described in Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies, and did not record any accruals related to the outcomes of those matters. Refer to Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further information.
We enter into contractual obligations and commitments from time to time in the normal course of business, primarily related to our debt financing and operating leases. Refer to Notes 8 and 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further information.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires its management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures. The Company’s management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. In addition, actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
64


Critical accounting estimates are those that the Company’s management considers the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because they require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s critical accounting estimates in relation to its condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to:

Patient revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts
Realization of deferred tax assets
Goodwill and intangible assets

Additional information related to our critical accounting estimates can be found in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our amended S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC on July 28, 2021.

Patient revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts
Net patient revenue
We provide an array of services to our patients including physical therapy, work conditioning, hand therapy, aquatic therapy, functional capacity assessment, sports medicine, wellness programs and home health. Net patient revenue consists of these physical therapy services.
Net patient revenue is recognized at an amount equal to the consideration the Company expects to receive from third-party payors, patients and others for services rendered when the performance obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied.
There is an implied contract between the Company and the patient upon each patient visit resulting in the Company’s patient service performance obligation. Generally, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, as each service provided is distinct and future services rendered are not dependent on previously rendered services. The Company has separate contractual agreements with third-party payors (e.g., insurers, managed care programs, government programs, workers' compensation) that provide for payments to the Company at amounts different from its established rates. While these agreements are not considered contracts with the customer, they are used for determining the transaction price for services provided to the patients covered by the third-party payors. The payor contracts do not indicate performance obligations of the Company but indicate reimbursement rates for patients who are covered by those payors when the services are provided.
To determine the transaction price associated with the implied contract, the Company includes the estimated effects of any variable consideration, such as contractual allowances and implicit price concessions. When the Company has contracts with negotiated prices for services provided (contracted payors), the Company considers the contractual rates when estimating contractual allowances. Variable consideration is estimated using a portfolio approach that incorporates whether or not the Company has historical differences from negotiated rates due to non-compliance with contract provisions. Historical results indicate that it is probable that negotiated prices less variable consideration will be realized; therefore, this amount is deemed the transaction price and recorded as revenue. The Company records an estimated provision for doubtful accounts based on historical collections for claims with similar characteristics, such as location of service and type of third-party payor, at the time of recognition. Any subsequent impairment of the related receivable is recorded as provision for doubtful accounts.
65


For non-contracted payors, the Company determines the transaction price by applying established rates to the services provided and adjusting for contractual allowances provided to third-party payors and implicit price concessions. The Company estimates the contractual allowances and implicit price concessions using a portfolio approach based on historical collections for claims with similar characteristics, such as location of service and type of third-party payor, in relation to established rates, because the Company does not have a contract with the underlying payor. Any subsequent changes in estimate on the realization of the receivable is recorded as a revenue adjustment. Management believes that calculating at the portfolio level would not differ materially from considering each patient account separately.
The Company continually reviews the revenue transaction price estimation process to consider updates to laws and regulations and changes in third-party payor contractual terms that result from contract renegotiations and renewals. Due to complexities involved in determining amounts ultimately due under reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors and government entities, which are often subject to interpretation, the Company may receive reimbursement for healthcare services that is different from the estimates, and such differences could be material.
In its evaluation of the revenue transaction price, management assesses historical collection experience in relation to contracted rates, or for non-contracted payors, established rates. The practice of applying historical collection experience to determine the revenue transaction price for current transactions involves significant judgment and estimation. Management subsequently monitors the appropriateness of its estimates for claims on a date of service basis as cash collections on previous periods mature. Actual cash collections upon maturity may differ from the transaction price estimated upon initial recognition, and such differences could be material. If initial revenue recognition estimates increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the impact to annual net patient revenue would be approximately $5.3 million. Management believes subsequent changes in estimate as a result of maturity of claims with dates of service in 2018, 2019 and 2020 have not been material to the consolidated statements of operations.
The following table disaggregates net patient revenue for each associated payor class for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020
Commercial 56.3  % 54.3  % 56.0  % 52.4  %
Government 24.3  % 22.2  % 23.6  % 21.9  %

Other (1)
27.8  % 27.4  %
100.0  % 100.0  %
(1) Other is primarily comprised of accounts receivable associated with net patient revenue related to auto personal injury.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on estimates of losses related to receivable balances. The risk of collection varies based upon the service, the payor class and the patient’s ability to pay the amounts not reimbursed by the payor. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon several factors, including the age of the outstanding receivables, the historical experience of collections, the impact of economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for the ability to pay. Management judgment is used to assess the collectability of accounts and the ability of the Company’s customers to pay. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in clinic operating costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. When it is determined that a customer account is uncollectible, that balance is written off against the existing allowance.

Realization of deferred tax assets
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
We evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and reduce those assets using a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Among the factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are projections of future taxable income streams and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. The judgments made at any point in time may be impacted by changes in tax codes, statutory tax rates or future taxable income levels. This could materially impact our assessment of the need for valuation allowance reserves and could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company accounts for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which requires the Company to test goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist.
67


The cost of acquired businesses is allocated first to its identifiable assets, both tangible and intangible, based on estimated fair values. Costs allocated to finite-lived identifiable intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful lives of the assets. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, is recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but must be reviewed at least annually for impairment. If the impairment test indicates that the carrying value of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss should be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in an amount equal to the excess carrying value over fair value. Fair value is determined using valuation techniques based on estimates, judgments and assumptions the Company believes are appropriate in the circumstances. The Company completed the annual impairment analysis of goodwill as of October 1, 2020 using an average of a discounted cash flow analysis and comparable public company analysis. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include projected future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, the terminal growth rate, the discount rate and relevant market multiples. The Company completed the annual impairment analysis of indefinite lived intangible assets as of October 1, 2020 using the relief from royalty approach. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include projected revenue growth, the royalty rate and the discount rate.
The Company has one reporting unit for purposes of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test. The Company concluded that no goodwill impairment occurred during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
In July 2021, the Company determined that the revision to its forecast, including factors related to the revision to its forecast, constituted an interim triggering event that required further analysis with respect to potential impairment to goodwill, trade name indefinite-lived intangible and other assets. Accordingly, the Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing and determined that the fair value amounts were below the respective carrying amounts. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $433.2 million related to goodwill and $33.7 million related to the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset during the period ended June 30, 2021.
In October 2021, the Company reported a further revision to its forecast to reflect lower than expected patient visit volume. The Company determined that the factors related to the revision to its forecast constituted an interim triggering event that required further analysis with respect to potential impairment to goodwill, trade name indefinite-lived intangible and other assets. Accordingly, the Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing and determined that the fair value amounts were below the respective carrying amounts. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $307.4 million related to goodwill and $200.6 million related to the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset during the period ended September 30, 2021. Refer to Note 5 - Goodwill, Trade Name and Other Intangible Assets in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
68


Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates and market factors. Estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible assets requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include projected future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, terminal growth rates, discount rates, relevant market multiples, royalty rates and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates, margins and cash flows are not met, or if market factors outside of our control change significantly, then our reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets might become impaired in the future, negatively impacting our operating results and financial position. As the carrying amounts of goodwill and the Company’s trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset were impaired as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 and written down to fair value, those amounts are more susceptible to an impairment risk if there are unfavorable changes in assumptions and estimates. Additionally, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets associated with acquisitions that may occur in the future are recorded on the balance sheet at their estimated acquisition date fair values, those amounts are more susceptible to impairment risk if business operating results or market conditions deteriorate.
To further illustrate sensitivity of the valuation models, if we had changed the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our goodwill reporting unit and trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset in our most recent quantitative analysis, these isolated changes, which are reasonably possible to occur, would have led to the following approximate increase/(decrease) in the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit under the discounted cash flow analysis or trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset (in thousands):
Discount rate
Terminal growth rate(1)
EBITDA margin Royalty rate
50 basis points 50 basis points 100 basis points 50 basis points
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
Goodwill $(50,000) $60,000 $30,000 $(20,000) $70,000 $(70,000)
Trade name $(30,000) $30,000 $50,000 $(50,000)
(1) An increase of 100 basis points to our assumed non-terminal revenue growth rates would result in approximately $60 million of an estimated increase to the fair value of our goodwill reporting unit, whereas, a 100 basis point decrease would result in approximately $100 million of an estimated decrease to the fair value of our goodwill reporting unit.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate variability with regard to existing variable-rate debt instruments, which exposure primarily relates to movements in various interest rates, such as prime and LIBOR. The Company utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps for purposes of hedging exposures related to such variability. Management believes that the result of its interest rate swap reduces the risk of interest rate variability to an immaterial amount. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument was a liability of $0.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This standard is optional and may be applied by entities after March 12, 2020, but no later than December 31, 2022. The Company has certain debt instruments for which the interest rates are indexed to LIBOR, and as a result, is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated operating results, cash flows, financial condition and related disclosures.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our leadership team fulfilling the role of Principal Executive Officer (the Executive Chairman, the Chief Operating Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer) and our Principal Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Other than as described below, there have been no material changes from the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our amended S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC on July 28, 2021 (the "Amended S-1").
The following risk factor is added:
On November 5, 2021, the CMS issued an Interim Final Rule (“IFR”) mandating COVID-19 vaccines for all applicable staff of health care providers receiving reimbursement from the Medicare or Medicaid programs. Under the IFR, all applicable staff must be fully vaccinated by January 4, 2022 unless they qualify for a medical or religious exemption. Additionally, on November 5, 2021, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (“OSHA”) issued an Emergency Temporary Standard (“ETS”) requiring all businesses with 100 or more employees to have all employees fully vaccinated by January 4, 2022. Employees not fully vaccinated by January 4, 2022 must provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 test on a weekly basis and wear a face mask at all times in the workplace. At this time, it is not possible to predict the impact of these proposed regulations on the Company or its workforce. The proposed new regulations, or similar mandatory vaccination or testing requirements that may become applicable to our employees, may result in employee attrition and could have a material adverse effect on our business, including future revenue, costs and results of operations. Legal challenges have been made to the ETS and other challenges to these rules may be made in the future, and we cannot predict the outcome of any such legal challenges. It is also not possible to predict the impact of these rules on the Company or its workforce. The IFR and ETS, and similar mandatory vaccination or testing requirements that may become applicable to our employees, may result in employee attrition and could have a material adverse effect on our business, including future revenue, costs and results of operations.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described in the Amended S-1 and all of the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including our financial statements and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding to invest in our Common Stock. If any of the events or developments described in our Amended S-1 or herein occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially or adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our Common Stock could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. The risks and uncertainties described in our Amended S-1 and in this Form 10-Q are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. The risks discussed also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
