On May 4, 2022, LifeStance Health Holdings, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a subsidiary of LifeStance Health Group, Inc. ("LifeStance Health Group" or the "Company") entered into a credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, Lynnwood Intermediate Holdings, Inc., one of our subsidiaries (“Holdings”), the other guarantors party thereto, Capital One, National Association as administrative agent, collateral agent, issuing bank and swing line lender, and the lenders party thereto. The 2022 Credit Agreement establishes commitments in respect of a senior secured term loan facility of $200.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”), a senior secured revolving loan facility of up to $50.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”) and a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility of up to $100.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”). The commitments under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility will be available to be drawn on any date (the “Funding Date”) on or prior to May 23, 2022, subject to certain customary funding conditions as further set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility are expected to be used, in whole or in part, to repay on the Funding Date all outstanding loans and commitments under the credit agreement, originally dated as of May 14, 2020, among the Borrower, Holdings, Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.

The Term Loan Facility and any funded amounts under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility are scheduled to mature on the sixth anniversary of the Funding Date. The commitments under the Revolving Facility are scheduled to mature on the fifth anniversary of the Funding Date, and the commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility are scheduled to terminate on the second anniversary of the Funding Date.

The loans under the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) adjusted term SOFR (which adjusted term SOFR is subject to a minimum of 0.75%) plus an applicable margin of 4.50% or (y) an alternate base rate (which will be the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) 0.50% above the federal funds effective rate and (iii) one-month adjusted term SOFR (which adjusted term SOFR is subject to a minimum of 0.75%) plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin of 3.50%. The loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) adjusted term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% or (y) an alternate base rate (which will be the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) 0.50% above the federal funds effective rate and (iii) one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin of 2.25%. In addition, the Borrower is required to pay a quarterly undrawn commitment fee of (i) until the first anniversary of the Funding Date, 0.50% per annum on the undrawn commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, (ii) from the first anniversary of the Funding Date until and including the second anniversary of the Funding Date, 1.00% per annum on the undrawn commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and (iii) 0.50% per annum on the daily amount of the undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility. The obligations under the 2022 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary limitations and exceptions. The 2022 Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, certain affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default.

The foregoing description of the 2022 Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2022 Credit Agreement, a copy of which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2022.

LifeStance Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – May 9, 2022 – LifeStance Health Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFST), one of the nation’s largest providers of outpatient mental health care, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

(All results compared to prior-year comparative period, unless otherwise noted)

Q1 2022 Highlights and FY 2022 Outlook

• Revenue of $203.1 million increased $60.0 million or 42% compared to revenue of $143.1 million

• Total clinicians of 4,989 up 51%, a net increase of 199 in the first quarter

• Net loss of $62.3 million compared to net loss of $8.7 million, primarily driven by stock-based compensation expense of $59.9 million

• Adjusted EBITDA of positive $12.5 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of positive $12.6 million

• Reaffirming guidance: Expecting full year 2022 revenue of $865 million to $885 million, Center Margin of $240 million to $255 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $63 million to $67 million

"We are pleased with the team’s disciplined execution of our strategy, which drove solid results in the first quarter, even through the recent pandemic surge and current labor market dynamics,” said Michael Lester, Chairman and CEO of LifeStance. “We believe that our first quarter performance positions us well for the balance of the year, and that our differentiated hybrid model will continue to drive our growth regardless of how patient care shifts between in-person and virtual visits. Additionally, patient demand for our services has never been stronger and our patient acquisition costs remain very low, as the vast majority of our patients come directly from sticky primary care referrals, in-network payor relationships, and organic online self-referrals. Most importantly, we are confident in our ability to continue expanding access to affordable, best-in-class outpatient mental healthcare to help people lead healthier, more fulfilling lives."

Financial Highlights
Q1 2022 Q1 2021 Y/Y
(in millions)
Total revenue $ 203.1 $ 143.1 42 %
Loss from operations (64.9 ) (0.9 ) 7,111 %
Center Margin 54.2 44.0 23 %
Net loss (62.3 ) (8.7 ) 616 %
Adjusted EBITDA 12.5 12.6 (1 %)
As % of Total Revenue:
Loss from operations (32.0 %) (0.6 %)
Center Margin 26.7 % 30.7 %
Net loss (30.7 %) (6.1 %)
Adjusted EBITDA 6.2 % 8.8 %

(All results compared to prior-year period, unless otherwise noted)

• Revenue grew 42% to $203.1 million. Strong revenue growth was supported by a 51% net increase in total clinicians, driven by hiring and acquisitions.

• Loss from operations of $64.9 million, primarily driven by stock-based compensation expense of $59.9 million. Net loss of $62.3 million.

• Center Margin grew 23% to $54.2 million, or 26.7% of revenue. Center Margin as a percentage of revenue declined as new clinicians ramp to maturity.

• Adjusted EBITDA remained relatively flat at $12.5 million, or 6.2% of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue declined due to the decrease in Center Margin as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by improved leverage in operating expenses.

Strategy and Key Developments

During the first quarter, LifeStance took several actions to support the company’s strategy to expand into new markets, build market density and offer a technology-enabled experience for patients and clinicians, including:

• Drove 51% year-over-year growth to 4,989 clinicians with the addition of 199 net clinicians in the quarter, demonstrating that the company’s value proposition continues to resonate in the market

• Completed two acquisitions, bringing the total since inception to 79

• Opened 41 de novo centers to support the company's differentiated hybrid model offering both in-person and virtual care

• Continued to deploy proprietary online booking and intake experience ("OBIE") across the country, which is now live in seven states

• Entered into a new credit facility in early May, which will repay existing net long-term debt at a more favorable cost of debt than the existing credit facility and provide access to incremental debt capital to fund growth through up to $100 million in delayed draw loans and $50 million in revolving loans at close (undrawn at close)

• Awarded grants through the LifeStance Health Foundation to non-profits that directly serve youth and adolescent populations, including the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, to improve access for youth and further support the destigmatization of mental health

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

LifeStance provided $3.3 million cash flow from operations during the first quarter of 2022. The company ended the first quarter with cash of $114.0 million and net long-term debt of $177.4 million.

2022 Guidance1

LifeStance is reiterating its guidance for 2022 revenue of $865 million to $885 million, Center Margin of $240 million to $255 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $63 million to $67 million.

For the second quarter of 2022, the company expects revenue of $209 million to $214 million, Center Margin of $57 million to $61 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $12 million to $15 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release and on the related teleconference that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to full-year and second-quarter guidance, statements about the company’s financial position; business plans and objectives; general economic and industry trends; operating results; and working capital and liquidity and other statements contained in this presentation that are not historical facts. When used in this press release and on the related teleconference, words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “project,” “seek” and similar expressions as they relate to us are intended to identify forward-looking statements. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: we may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may imply future growth, including if we are unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives and business strategies; if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our expenses could increase more than expected, our revenue may not increase proportionally or at all, and we may be unable to execute on our business strategy; our ability to recruit new clinicians and retain existing clinicians; if reimbursement rates paid by third-party payors are reduced or if third-party payors otherwise restrain our ability to obtain or deliver care to patients, our business could be harmed; we conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with these laws and government regulations, we could incur penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations or experience adverse publicity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition; we are dependent on our relationships with affiliated practices, which we do not own, to provide health care services, and our business would be harmed if those relationships were disrupted or if our arrangements with these entities became subject to legal challenges; we operate in a competitive industry, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed; the impact of health care reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in health care spending on us is currently unknown, but may harm our business; if our or our vendors’ security measures fail or are breached and unauthorized access to our employees’, patients’ or partners’ data is obtained, our systems may be perceived as insecure, we may incur significant liabilities, including through private litigation or regulatory action, our reputation may be harmed, and we could lose patients and partners; our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems; our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our business and growth prospects; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors” included in the reports we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. LifeStance does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect any change in management's expectations or any change in the assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based, except as otherwise required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Center Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Tables showing the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are included at the end of this release. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company’s operating performance, and may be helpful to securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in understanding the company’s operating performance and prospects. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not be comparable to companies in other industries or within the same industry with similarly titled measures of performance. Therefore, the company’s non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net loss or loss from operations.

Center Margin and Adjusted EBITDA anticipated for the second quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 are calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of these measures at the end of this release. Reconciliation for the forward-looking second quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 Center Margin and Adjusted EBITDA guidance is not being provided, as LifeStance does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation. As such, LifeStance management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results.

Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results.

Forward-Looking Statements DISCLAIMERS Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation and related oral statements contain forward-looking statements about LifeStance Health Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“LifeStance”) and the industry in which LifeStance operates, including statements regarding full-year and second quarter guidance, future results of operations and financial position of LifeStance, which are subject to known and unknown uncertainties and contingencies outside of LifeStance's control and which are largely based on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect LifeStance's financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, and prospects. LifeStance's actual results, events, or circumstances may differ materially from these statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, factors and assumptions, including, among other things: we may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may imply future growth, including if we are unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives and business strategies; if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our expenses could increase more than expected, our revenue may not increase proportionally or at all, and we may be unable to execute on our business strategy; our ability to recruit new clinicians and retain existing clinicians; if reimbursement rates paid by third-party payors are reduced or if third-party payors otherwise restrain our ability to obtain or deliver care to patients, our business could be harmed; we conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with these laws and government regulations, we could incur penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations or experience adverse publicity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition; we are dependent on our relationships with affiliated practices, which we do not own, to provide health care services, and our business would be harmed if those relationships were disrupted or if our arrangements with these entities became subject to legal challenges; we operate in a competitive industry, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed; the impact of health care reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in health care spending on us is currently unknown, but may harm our business; if our or our vendors' security measures fail or are breached and unauthorized access to our employees' patients' or partners' data is obtained, our systems may be perceived as insecure, we may incur significant liabilities, including through private litigation or regulatory action, our reputation may be harmed, and we could lose patients and partners; our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems; our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our business and growth prospects; and the other factors set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements, together with statements relating to our past performance, should not be regarded as a reliable indicator of our future performance. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this presentation to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Center Margin and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by LifeStance may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is included in the Appendix to these slides or as otherwise described in these slides. Market and Industry Data This presentation also contains information regarding our market and industry that is derived from third-party research and publications. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations.
