Lee BienstockCEO

Lee, please go ahead. Thank you all for joining us today.

Lee BienstockCEO

I am excited to share more about our acquisition of Hicuity Health and what we hope this combination will mean for our customers, our patients, and of course, our shareholders. We have spent the last several years building our capability to bring high-quality care to patients where they need it. Hicuity adds an important dimension to that vision, remotely supporting patients inside the hospital and connecting that care with the care they receive when they return home. Joining me are Andrea Clegg, Hicuity's Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. John Kazianis, Hicuity's Vice President and Senior Medical Director. Andrea, maybe give us a little background on yourself.

Andrea CleggCFO

Thank you, Lee. I have spent the last 20 years leading tech-enabled healthcare services companies to create new and innovative healthcare solutions in both the public and private arenas. I have been with Hicuity Health for over 10 years as CFO, and I am very excited to see these two great companies come together to continue their missions and improve patient care and access in this country. Now, I would like you to meet Dr. Kazianis.

John KazianisVP and Senior Medical Director

I am Dr. John Kazianis, Vice President and Senior Medical Director at Hicuity Health, where I lead our tele-ICU program. I have been with Hicuity for over 10 years. I am a board-certified intensivist, pulmonologist, and internist. I am excited to be here today to discuss how Hicuity's clinical capabilities complement DocGo and the opportunities we see across the continuum of care.

Lee BienstockCEO

Lee? Thanks so much. We are so excited to welcome you to the team, and we are so excited to welcome the entire Hicuity Health team into the DocGo family.

Lee BienstockCEO

Andrea and John both bring an important perspective on the Hicuity business and the clinical model behind it, and I am pleased to have them here with us today as we walk through our vision for this acquisition and the opportunities that we believe will unlock. Afterwards, we will then take your questions. Let me start with some data that highlights the need we are addressing. The U.S. population continues to age. The population of adults 65 and older is growing at a rate that is nearly 10 times faster than working-age adults, resulting in more individuals who need ongoing support across multiple settings.

Lee BienstockCEO

A recent study points to a shortage of approximately 400,000 nurses by 2030, and another predicts a shortage of 141,000 physicians by 2038. This is absolutely a challenge that the healthcare system needs to solve. At the same time, more than 71% of physicians reported using telehealth in 2024, nearly three times the rate in 2018. Our health system partners are managing rising demand with limited clinical resources and significant financial pressure. Think of it. As the need is rising, the availability of clinicians is declining. We need solutions that can help them provide care more efficiently and focus their precious resources on individuals who require high-acuity care. These trends are driving the need for integrated care platforms that leverage technology to extend clinical capacity, meeting patients where they are, and expanding the classical care delivery model.

Lee BienstockCEO

This creates a significant opportunity for DocGo to deploy our vertically integrated technology, our clinical teams, our workflows, our holistic service offerings to extend the reach of our clinical teams and, of course, deliver care across multiple settings. Now, Andrea, maybe tell us a bit more about Hicuity Health.

Andrea CleggCFO

Absolutely. Hicuity is a tech-enabled healthcare services provider delivering 24/7 care to acutely ill patients in the hospital, post-acute, and at-home care venues. Our team of 450 clinicians supports over 260 care facilities operating in more than 30 states. We monitor 4,700 patient beds that serve 160,000 patients annually. On a trailing 12-month basis, Hicuity generated revenues of approximately $65 million and $4.5 million in adjusted EBITDA. Our revenues over the trailing 12-month period were led by our Tele-ICU, virtual nursing, and remote telemetry monitoring service lines. Tele-ICU remains our largest service line and includes physicians, nurse practitioner, and nursing support for intensive care unit patients. We also provide centralized telemetry monitoring and virtual patient observation services.

Andrea CleggCFO

We have also extended our capabilities beyond traditional care facilities by participating in the newer Hospital at Home programs, where we remotely monitor hospital-level patients with chronic conditions in the comfort of their own home.
