Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Ontrak, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for Ontrak, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements included all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), from which the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived. The Company operates as one segment. Certain prior period amounts reported in condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional expedients and exceptions to accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope" which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities beginning on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications entered through December 31, 2022. ASU 2021-01 is effective beginning on January 7, 2021 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to contract modifications entered through December 31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 as of the respective effective beginning dates did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASU 2019-12"), which enhances and simplifies various aspects of income tax accounting guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021, although early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options ("ASU 2021-04"), to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in ASU 2021-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2021-04 on its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, "Codification Improvements" ("ASU 2020-10"), which includes amendments to improve consistency of disclosures by ensuring that all guidance that require disclosures or provides an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to the financial statement is codified in the disclosure section of the codification. ASU 2020-10 is effective for public companies, other than smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2020-10 on its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" ("ASU 2020-06"). ASU 2020-06 modifies and simplifies accounting for convertible instruments, and eliminates certain separation models that require separating embedded conversion features from convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires recognition of an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses as an allowance. For companies eligible to be smaller reporting company as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair

value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level Input	Input Definition
Level I	Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level II	Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I, that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level III	Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Financial instruments classified as Level III in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 represent liabilities measured at market value on a recurring basis and include contingent consideration relating to a stock price guarantee provided in an acquisition (see further discussion below regarding this contingent consideration). In accordance with current accounting rules, the contingent consideration liability is being marked-to-market each quarter-end until it is completely settled or expire. The fair value of contingent consideration liability is valued using the Monte Carlo simulation model, using both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions.

The carrying value of the 2024 Notes is estimated to approximate their fair value as the variable interest rate of the Senior Secured Notes approximates the market rate for debt with similar terms and risk characteristics.

Variable Interest Entities

Generally, an entity is defined as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under current accounting rules if it either lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or it is structured such that the holders of the voting rights do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. When determining whether an entity that meets the definition of a business, qualifies for a scope exception from applying VIE guidance, the Company considers whether: (i) it has participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) it has provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE are conducted on its behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economics of the VIE and has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary assessment must be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.

As discussed under the heading Management Services Agreements (“MSA”) below, the Company has an MSA with a Texas nonprofit health organization (“TIH”) and a California Professional Corporation (“CIH”). Under the MSAs, the equity owners of TIH and CIH have only a nominal equity investment at risk, and the Company absorbs or receives a majority of the entity’s expected losses or benefits. The Company participates significantly in the design of these MSAs. The Company also agrees to provide working capital loans to allow for TIH and CIH to fund their day to day obligations. Substantially all of the activities of TIH and CIH, including its decision making and approvals are conducted for its benefit, as evidenced by the fact that (i) the operations of TIH and CIH are conducted primarily using the Company's licensed network of providers and (ii) under the MSA, the Company agrees to provide and perform all non-medical management and administrative services for the entities. Payment of the Company's management fee by TIH and CIH is subordinate to payments of the other obligations of TIH and CIH, and repayment of the working capital loans is not guaranteed by the equity owner of the affiliated medical group or other third party. Creditors of TIH and CIH do not have recourse to the Company's general credit.

Based on the design of the entity and the lack of sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional working capital loans, the Company has determined that TIH and CIH are VIEs. The Company, as the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate the VIE entities as it has power and potentially significant interests in the entities. Accordingly, the Company is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the managed treatment centers.

Management Services Agreements

In April 2018, the Company executed an MSA with TIH and in July 2018, the Company executed an MSA with CIH. Under the MSAs, the Company licenses to TIH and CIH the right to use its proprietary treatment programs and related trademarks, and provides all required day-to-day business management services, including, but not limited to:

•general administrative support services;

•information systems;

•recordkeeping;

•billing and collection; and

•obtaining and maintaining all federal, state and local licenses, certifications and regulatory permits.

All clinical matters relating to the operation of TIH and CIH and the performance of clinical services through the network of providers shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the TIH and CIH Board free of any control or direction from the Company.

TIH pays the Company a monthly fee equal to the aggregate amount of (a) its costs of providing management services (including reasonable overhead allocated to the delivery of its services and including salaries, rent, equipment, and tenant improvements incurred for the benefit of the medical group, provided that any capitalized costs will be amortized over a five-year period), (b) 10%-15% of the foregoing costs, and (c) any performance bonus amount, as determined by TIH at its sole discretion.

CIH pays the Company a monthly fee equal to the aggregate amount of (a) its costs of providing management services (including reasonable overhead allocated to the delivery of its services and including salaries, rent, equipment, and tenant improvements incurred for the benefit of the entity, provided that any capitalized costs will be amortized over a five-year period), and (b) any performance bonus amount, as determined by CIH at its sole discretion.
