Our Company

        We are the leading global, physician-led provider of integrated cancer care ("ICC") services. Our physicians provide comprehensive, academic quality, cost-effective coordinated care for cancer patients in personal and convenient community settings (our "ICC model"). We believe we offer a powerful value proposition to patients, hospital systems, payers and risk-taking physician groups by delivering high quality care and first rate clinical outcomes at lower overall costs through outpatient settings, clinical excellence, physician coordination and scaled efficiency.

        We operate the largest integrated network of cancer treatment centers and affiliated physicians in the world which, as of December 31, 2013, was comprised of approximately 671 community-based physicians in the fields of radiation oncology, medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. Our physicians provide medical services at approximately 304 locations, including our 163 radiation therapy centers, of which 41 operate in partnership with health systems. Our cancer treatment centers in the United States are operated predominantly under the 21st Century Oncology brand and are strategically clustered in 31 local markets in 16 states. Our 33 international treatment centers in six Latin American markets are operated under the 21st Century Oncology brand or a local brand and, in many cases, are operated with local minority partners, including hospitals. We hold market leading positions in the majority of our local markets.

        Our operating philosophy is to provide academic center level care to cancer patients in a community setting. To act on this philosophy, we employ or affiliate with leading physicians and provide them with the advanced medical technology necessary to achieve optimal clinical outcomes across a full spectrum of oncologic disease in each local market. In support of our physicians and technologies, we also develop and invest in medical management software, training programs for our staff and business enterprise systems to allow for rapid diffusion of clinical initiatives and continuous quality and performance improvement. In addition, we maintain strong clinical research relationships with multiple academic centers of excellence and cooperative research groups, gaining access to cutting edge treatments and making them available to our patients often years in advance of their commercial introduction to the marketplace. As a result, we attract and retain talented physician leaders by providing opportunities to work in a stimulating clinical environment offering superior end-to-end resources and designed to deliver high quality patient care.

        Our Company was founded in 1983 by a group of physicians that came together to deliver academic level quality radiation therapy at the community level. With significant investment in clinical programs, operating infrastructure and business systems, we expanded our delivery of sophisticated radiation therapy services domestically and then globally. Given the changing healthcare landscape, increased focus on lower cost, higher quality care and potential for value-based reimbursement, we built a more complete and integrated cancer care platform to better meet the needs of patients,

Table of Contents

physicians and payers. As a result, we proactively broadened our provision of care to include a full spectrum of cancer care services by employing and affiliating with physicians in the related specialties of medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. This innovative approach to cancer care through our ICC model enables us to collaborate across our physician base, integrate services and payments for related medical needs and disseminate best practices. We believe this results in better cancer care to patients, a stronger presence in each market we serve and the ability to capitalize on changes and developments in the payment and delivery landscape.

        We have demonstrated an ability to grow our business through various environments, and we believe our business is poised for accelerated success given the current industry focus on delivering high quality care in a lower cost setting. The key components of our business model include:

    Differentiated Scale—We are approximately 3.3 times larger than our next largest competitor, based on average treatments per day, which differentiates us with key stakeholders. Domestically, we have over 21,000 cases and perform over 500,000 treatments on an annual basis. As a result of our scale, we believe we have a higher level of efficiency and clinical and operational sophistication that health systems seek in partners and payers seek for nationwide or innovative contracts. In addition, our scale makes us the destination of choice for acquisition candidates and physicians pursuing alignment with larger enterprises.

    Integrated Cancer Care Model—Developed to further penetrate existing markets and provide for enhanced clinical care, we believe our ICC model positions us as a key partner for payers, physicians and hospital systems today and to become an important part of any clinical enterprise of the future that seeks superior outcomes at predictable and affordable costs.

    Health System Partnerships—Capitalizes on the trend of health systems leveraging partners to improve their oncology service offering and help manage the strategic, operational and financial challenges stemming from healthcare reform. These challenges include the pressure to contain healthcare costs, align with key physician resources and manage competitive demands for capital.

    Collaborative Payment Arrangements—Proactively developed multiple coordinated and collaborative relationships with key payers and other industry participants to create alternative payment mechanisms to reduce cost and improve quality. For example, we developed and implemented the nation's first bundled payment radiation therapy program with a national private payer, and we are continually in discussions with payers to develop additional mutually beneficial payment arrangements. We also led the formation of an industry group to coordinate providers into a unified and collaborative relationship in order to work with both commercial and government payers on approaches to transition to bundled payments for an episode of care based on evidence-based pathways.

        In addition to our demonstrated success in varied environments, we have capitalized on the strength and breadth of our platform to develop new growth opportunities. Examples of such initiatives include our entry into and growth in international markets and our development and monetization of unique value-added services.

    Entry Into and Expansion in International Markets—In 2011, we acquired and partnered with the highly sophisticated management team of Medical Developers, LLC ("MDLLC") the largest company in Latin America dedicated to radiation therapy. This investment was very attractive due to the increasing demand in that market for cancer treatment services created by a significantly underserved patient population, increased detection, a growing middle-class and expanded insurance access. MDLLC provides us the opportunity for enhanced growth rates, diversified payment sources, leveraging of best practices into a new global market and efficient equipment utilization.

    Value-Added Services—Developed new revenue sources by leveraging our internally developed capabilities and resources including technology, clinical protocols, physician breadth and expertise and care management services. This provides incremental high-margin diversifying revenue lines for us and often serves as an entry point for new geographies and customer relationships. For example, our CarePoint service line leverages our cancer care management capabilities to provide a range of solutions up to and including comprehensive oncology care management solutions to insurers or other entities that are financially responsible for the health of defined populations. This provides us a new source of revenue and CarePoint contracts may serve as an entry point for new markets for our cancer treatment services.

        We have grown through a combination of organic, internally developed ("de novo"), acquisition and joint venture opportunities and innovative payer and hospital system relationships. We believe these major avenues for growth will become increasingly attractive as our scale, sophistication and clinical capabilities continue to distinguish us from our competition. As a result, we will continue to employ or affiliate with quality physicians, acquire freestanding radiation oncology centers and partner with leading health systems and payers as a result of the superior value proposition we provide each of these constituents:

    Physicians—We believe physicians choose to join us because of our physician-focused culture, best-in-class clinical and research platform focused on oncology and affiliations with leading academic programs, as well as the ability to enhance income. Physician income is typically enhanced at the Company due to the breadth of our services, our focus on technology, the benefits of our ICC model and our scale and our effective business office capabilities.

    Freestanding Centers—Independent radiation businesses choose to join us because mounting pressures on their businesses make affiliation with a scaled and sophisticated partner beneficial. After acquiring a center, we typically upgrade existing equipment and technologies, implement our proprietary treatment and delivery tools, leverage our effective business office capabilities, develop ICC relationships and enable access to our contracts, all of which should dramatically improve the financial performance of the acquired center.

    Health Systems—We believe health systems choose to partner with us due to our shared operating philosophy, enhanced patient care and access, strong physician leadership and ICC approach, all of which lead to a superior ability to attract and retain key specialists. We provide a flexible approach to health system partnerships which can include joint ventures, management agreements, hospital-based and/or freestanding locations and fully outsourced relationships.

    Payers—We believe payers choose to partner with us as a result of our evidence-based clinical pathways, strong and integrated local market presence and ability to coordinate patient care in the most appropriate setting with lower cost and transparent pricing. We have leading market share in most of our local markets, and we seek to employ or affiliate with the highest quality physicians in all cancer related specialties. In addition, we track and measure clinical data to both evaluate treatment effectiveness and innovate new paradigms for payment methodologies.

        For the year ended December 31, 2013, we generated total revenues of $736.5 million. During this time period, 87.7% of our net revenue was derived from our integrated operations in North America, and 12.3% of our net revenue was derived from our operations in Latin America.

        In October 2013, we closed on our acquisition of OnCure Holdings, Inc. ("OnCure"), which comprises 33 radiation therapy centers and 11 radiation oncology physician groups in Florida, California and Indiana (the "OnCure Acquisition"). This level of revenue represents a 15% increase in our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, on February 10, 2014, we completed our investment in Florida-based SFRO Holdings, LLC ("SFRO"), acquiring 65% of the equity interests

Table of Contents

in SFRO, increasing the number of our radiation therapy treatment centers by 21 and adding 88 additional ICC and radiation oncology physicians (the "SFRO Joint Venture"). OnCure and SFRO are expected to add approximately 694 and 591 average treatments per day, respectively, increasing our total treatments per day to approximately 4,750.

        We were incorporated on October 9, 2007 under the name Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc. and currently exist as a Delaware Corporation. On December 5, 2013, we changed our name to 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. Our business was originally formed in 1983. We were acquired in 2008 pursuant to the Merger by affiliates of Vestar Capital Partners ("Vestar"). Our principal executive office is located at 2270 Colonial Boulevard, Fort Myers, Florida 33907 and our telephone number is (239) 931-7275. The address of our main website is www.21co.com.


Industry Trends

        Cancer treatment is an important, large and growing market globally. We operate in the $290 billion global cancer care market, of which the domestic market comprises approximately $125 billion, as of 2010. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States and globally. According to the most recent data available from the World Health Organization, global cancer prevalence includes approximately 29 million cases with approximately 13 million new cases and approximately 8 million cancer-related deaths per year. In addition to the scale of the current addressable market, cancer incidence in the United States is estimated to grow at an approximately 2% rate annually through 2030, with an outsized proportion of treatments occurring in outpatient settings which are expected to grow at approximately 31% compared to approximately 3% for inpatient services, from 2013 to 2023. As the population ages, the number of U.S. cancer diagnoses is expected to continue to increase, as approximately 77% of all cancers diagnosed from 2006 to 2010 were in persons 55 years of age and older. Additionally, since 2006, the percentage of cancer cases addressed by radiation has grown from approximately 55% to nearly two-thirds.

        We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from other major trends currently affecting the healthcare services markets in which we compete, including:

Focus on Cost Containment in Healthcare

        Rising healthcare costs have continued to strain federal, state and local, as well as employer and patient budgets. In addition, domestic cancer costs are projected to grow from $125 billion in 2010 to $207 billion by 2020, and oncology is typically one of the top two largest cost categories for health plans. Efficient management of cancer care across the patient continuum through utilizing more efficient outpatient settings, which can cost approximately 14% less for commercial payers than other alternatives, and coordination across medical disciplines represents a significant opportunity to contain and reduce overall healthcare costs while improving quality and outcomes. In addition, newly developed health insurance exchanges may ultimately present a significant opportunity for us, as payers look to contract with high quality, low cost providers in local markets, like us. We believe we are well positioned to benefit from this trend as the largest provider of lower cost, convenient and high clinical quality cancer care service in outpatient settings. This will also be of increased importance as patients have an increased responsibility for their healthcare costs.

Shift Towards Coordinated Care

        Recent healthcare legislation, continued cost pressures on payers, and the increase in the number of patients with complex conditions will likely create significant opportunities for cost-effective, sophisticated providers that can offer coordinated, integrated care delivery. Private payers are increasingly moving toward narrow networks and directing patients to the most coordinated and cost-effective providers of care. Additionally, certain health reform initiatives promote the transition

7


Table of Contents

from traditional fee-for-service payment models to more "value-based" or "capitated" payment models where overall outcomes and census management are more important success factors than the number of procedures delivered. These trends require improved care coordination and communication throughout an episode of care to enable providers to analyze patient data and identify more effective treatment protocols that ultimately improve outcomes and reduce costs. To meet these goals, we have authored and maintain a set of best clinical practice guidelines for each of the major cancer diagnoses. The guidelines are based on widely recognized consensus expert group statements and supporting medical literature and serve as the foundation of our efforts to achieve a consistently high level of care throughout our Company. Our physicians interact with the guidelines in real-time and at the point of care through use of our online treatment prescription and medical record systems in order to help guide their clinical decisions toward the most appropriate and effective medical management for their patient.

        We have an established history of offering high quality, cost effective integrated services and developing the related infrastructure to ensure coordinated care across specialists. We believe we are well positioned for the changing delivery landscape where payers are searching for partners to help manage medical costs without sacrificing care.

Dynamics Impacting Health Systems

        Many hospitals and health systems recognize the strategic, operational and financial challenges stemming from healthcare reform, the burgeoning efforts to contain healthcare costs, and growing consumer preference for treatment in more comfortable community care settings. In response, many health systems are developing strategies to reduce operating costs, align with physicians, create additional service lines, expand their geographic footprint and service locations and prepare for new value-based payment models. A growing number of health systems are entering into strategic partnerships with select provider organizations in order to achieve these goals. Provider organizations, such as ours, can often provide a high degree of specialization, more efficient outpatient facilities, best practices learned from a nationwide network, scaled operating systems, and financial capital to help healthcare systems meet their goals. We currently have 41 radiation oncology centers in strategic operational partnerships with health systems where we provide a variety of services that leverage our capabilities to support their communities.

Continued Provider Consolidation Driven by Changing Environment

        Consolidation among healthcare providers, including facility operators and clinicians, is expected to continue due to increasing cost pressure and greater complexities as well as requirements imposed by new payment, reporting and delivery systems. Independent physicians are increasingly becoming employed by hospitals or affiliated with larger group practices like ours. For instance since 2010, we have expanded our physician base by 183%. In addition, recent reimbursement cuts in our industry, coupled with the high cost of technology and the necessity of coordination of care, have contributed to a more rapid pace of consolidation relative to prior years. As the largest global, physician-led provider of integrated cancer care, we believe we are well positioned to be an acquisition partner of choice due to our well developed business model, economies of scale and efficient technology utilization. We believe our ability to create value through accretive acquisitions at attractive valuations and increase physician efficiency in both the United States and globally creates a significant opportunity to leverage our core competencies while further expanding our global footprint. We expect that the current operating environment will continue to produce an attractive pipeline of accretive acquisitions and physician employment and affiliation opportunities in existing and adjacent markets.

        The radiation therapy and related physician specialist landscape is highly fragmented. In 2013, there were approximately 2,350 locations providing radiation therapy in the United States, of which approximately 1,100 were freestanding, or non-hospital based, treatment centers. Approximately 25% of

8


Table of Contents

freestanding treatment centers are affiliated with the largest three provider networks, with the Company holding approximately 13% of the freestanding market. It is estimated that there are approximately 793,000 physicians in the United States today, of which 36% remain independent as compared to well over 50% a decade ago. The Latin American radiation therapy market is similarly fragmented with most competition coming primarily from hospitals and some smaller local groups. In Argentina, we are the largest radiation therapy provider, with particularly strong market positions in Buenos Aires, Cordoba, La Plata and Mendoza. In the majority of other Latin American markets that we serve, we are the number one or number two provider.


Service and Treatment Offerings

        Beginning from a foundation of high-quality radiation therapy centers, we have subsequently developed a clinically integrated network of multiple medical disciplines in order to provide a comprehensive set of cancer care services for our patients. In many markets, we employ medical oncologists, breast surgeons, colorectal surgeons, urologists, gynecologic oncologists and other medical professionals whose surgical and medical skills complement our legacy radiation oncology services to complete the end-to-end care of the cancer patient. By leveraging our clinical data management systems, best practices clinical pathway models and clinical performance metrics developed and refined over many years on the radiation therapy side of the business, we have been able to achieve effective care coordination among these other disciplines and an overall level of medical practice comparable to that observed at the best academic cancer centers in the US.

        What is particularly unique to our model is its ability to provide a high level of comprehensive and coordinated cancer care in the community setting. Many of our competitors in our markets instead consist of single-specialty practices offering more fragmented care. Further differentiating from our competitors is our capacity in each market to provide a complete selection of advanced radiotherapy services that may otherwise be locally unavailable. In addition, we provide support services including psychological and nutritional counseling as well as transportation assistance (consistent with regulatory guidelines).

        Resulting from our radiotherapy and medical management expertise, we were recently selected as the developer and managing partner of the first proton beam therapy center in New York. Our partners include five of the largest cancer care programs at key local academic institutions including Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Mt. Sinai, Continuum and Montefiore. We anticipate the proton center to be operational in late 2016. In addition, we have started beta testing adaptive radiotherapy, a sophisticated technology that allows for near real-time adaptation of radiation dose delivery to anatomic changes that occur during a treatment course, and have created an internal development group to focus on refining and commercializing both of this future critical technology.

        Broadly speaking, there are two categories of radiation therapy. External beam therapy involves directing a high-energy x-ray beam generated from a linear accelerator to a patient's tumor. Radiotherapy equipment varies as some devices are better for treating cancers near the surface of the skin and others are better for treating cancers deeper in the body. A course of external beam radiation therapy typically ranges from 10 to 40 treatments and depends on the total radiation dose necessary to achieve a specific therapeutic goal. Internal radiation therapy, also called brachytherapy, involves the placement of a radiation-emitting element within or adjacent to the patient's tumor. Brachytherapy usually requires an operating room procedure for either permanent insertion of the radiation source in the cancerous organ or insertion of thin plastic catheters in and around the diseased organ to allow for temporary placement of a radiation source after which both the source and the tubes are removed from the body. Internal radiation therapy delivers a higher dose of radiation in a shorter time than is possible with external beam treatments. Internal radiation therapy is typically used for cancers of the prostate, cervix, breast, lung and esophagus.

Table of Contents

        The following table sets forth the forms of radiation therapy treatments and advanced services that we currently offer:

Technologies
  Description

External Beam Therapy

   

Conformal Radiation Therapy

  A process of creating a radiation treatment field that matches precisely the size and shape of the intended target tumor or organ. This customization of the treatment to the diseased tissue allows for better sparing of surrounding healthy, unaffected organs than conventional treatment technologies.

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

 

A process of adjusting the intensity of the radiation beam in addition to shaping the radiation dose to match the size and shape of the treated tumor, resulting in higher degree of precision than conformal therapy. The net clinical result of this technology is the safe delivery of higher, more effective radiation doses to tumors.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery

 

A process of delivering highly precise, high-dose radiation to small tumors. Stereotactic radiosurgery utilizes additional treatment technologies to deliver treatment with greater precision and accuracy than either IMRT or conformal therapy. Historically, stereotactic radiosurgery was used for brain tumors, but recent advancements in imaging and radiation delivery technologies have allowed for expanding applications of this technology to the treatment of extra-cranial cancers.

Internal Radiation Therapy

 

 

High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy

  Enables radiation oncologists to treat cancer by internally delivering high doses of radiation directly to the cancer using temporarily implanted radioactive elements.

Low-Dose Rate Brachytherapy

 

Enables radiation oncologists to treat cancer by internally delivering doses of radiation directly to the cancer over an extended period of time using permanently implanted radioactive elements (such as prostate seed implants).

Advanced Services Used with External Beam Therapies

 

 

Image Guided Radiation Therapy

  Enables radiation oncologists to utilize x-ray imaging at the time of treatment to identify the exact position of the tumor within the patient's body and adjust the radiation beam to that position for better accuracy of treatment delivery.

Gamma Function

 

A proprietary capability that for the first time enables measurement of the actual amount of radiation dose delivered during a treatment. Gamma Function also enables the verification of radiation delivery and the comparison to the physician prescription and treatment plans. Furthermore, it provides the physician with actionable information to adjust for changes in tumor size and location, and ensures immediate feedback for adaption of future treatments as well as for quality assurance.

Technologies
  Description

Respiratory Gating

 

Coordinates treatment beam activation with the respiratory motion of the patient, thereby permitting accurate delivery of radiation dosage to a tumor that moves with breathing, such as lung and liver cancers.

Operating Technologies Under Development

 

 

Proton Therapy

  Form of radiation treatment that utilizes subatomic particles instead of x-rays and can achieve better radiation sparing of surrounding normal organs.

Adaptive Radiotherapy

 

A novel approach to radiation therapy that is currently under development at the Company and a small number of academic medical centers. Adaptive radiotherapy is a process that will automatically trigger a new treatment plan during the course of therapy in order to adapt to anatomic changes that occur to the tumor. For example, as a tumor shrinks during treatment, adaptive radiotherapy will respond by generating a new treatment plan customized to the smaller tumor and further spare radiation exposure of nearby healthy organs.

Competitive Strengths

        We believe that the underlying industry trends provide for attractive, long-term market growth, and that our leading market position created by our competitive strengths will enable us to grow at a faster rate than the overall radiation therapy market.

Multiple Sources for Self-Sustaining Long-Term Growth

        The radiation therapy market is growing organically due to increases in cancer incidence, increases in the types of cancer addressable with technology and a stable pricing environment. Cancer incidence in the United States is estimated to increase by an approximately 2% rate annually through 2030, with an outsized proportion of treatments occurring in outpatient settings, which are expected to grow at approximately 31% compared to approximately 3% for inpatient services from 2013 to 2023. More precise delivery of radiation treatment has enabled radiation therapy to be utilized for additional types and sites of cancer, which has increased the addressable market for our services. In addition to this addressable market growth, commercial pricing changes have generally been positive as we continue to be relatively attractively priced and Medicare pricing is more stabilized due to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") approaching its goal of site neutrality and the industry's development of a meaningful collaborative relationship with CMS. International markets are growing faster than U.S. markets due to a significantly underserved patient population, increased detection, a growing middle-class, expanded insurance access and a stable pricing environment. In addition to underlying positive organic industry growth, we have implemented the following initiatives to accelerate our growth profile which are funded out of internally generated cash flow and selective borrowings:

    Organic Growth Enhancements—We have a strong focus on clinical quality and technology utilization to enable us to be the provider of choice for payers and patients. We strive to make available the most advanced technology to deliver a variety of treatment options to our patients in each local market. In addition to driving enhanced margin, this operating philosophy has enabled us to gain market share due to the technology's influence on our ability to attract and retain the most talented physicians and market a differentiated offering to patients while being lower cost than a hospital setting. In 2010, we implemented a physician liaison program whereby such personnel inform both potential and existing referring physicians about the variety and advanced nature of the radiation therapy services our affiliated radiation oncologists can offer to their patients. The significant number and scale of our recent acquisitions provides us the opportunity to enhance organic growth by deploying technology and our clinical capabilities as well as implementing our ICC model in these markets.

Table of Contents

    Acquisitions—Given our scale and national presence, the fragmented nature of our industry and the trend towards consolidation, we have a strong track record and robust opportunity to capitalize on low-risk acquisitions. These acquisitions are highly synergistic, given the ability to consolidate duplicative infrastructure, implement scaled business processes and improve existing managed care contracts. In addition, the application of our ICC model on acquired companies enables us to drive enhanced organic revenue growth at these acquired centers.

    Health System Partnerships and De Novo Centers—We look to leverage our core competencies to maximize the potential opportunity in each market we serve. We have a strong reputation for high clinical quality, cost effective care and experienced partnerships, which will enable us to continue to capitalize on the trend of increased hospital outsourcing. We leverage our local knowledge to develop new de novo sites to provide further market density. Where appropriate, we leverage our strong relationships with leading health systems to pursue and respond to requests for us to provide a full or partial outsourced solution for their cancer treatment programs.

    Strategic Relationships with Payers—We have developed and continue to explore alternative payment structures, including the first national contract for a bundled payment in cancer care with a national private payer, and other contracting arrangements with key commercial payers. Our initiatives have yielded positive results in preferred provider arrangements and an increased volume of longer dated contracts. As the only national provider of ICC services, we are uniquely positioned in these discussions with public and private payers and believe alignment with payers may provide a new avenue for revenue and profitability growth in the future.

Leading Player in Large and Fragmented Market

        We have 671 community-based physicians and provided approximately 4,150 radiation therapy treatments on average per day for the year ended December 31, 2013 in our 163 treatment centers. We believe this scale makes us the largest provider of cancer care services in the world, substantially larger than our next largest competitor. In addition to our national scale, we maintain a leading market position in the majority of our local markets.

        Our national scale affords us the opportunity to develop systems and processes efficiently and access technology that empowers our physicians to deliver best-in-class care. It also enables us to share and benefit from new approaches and recently developed findings across our network. Furthermore, our scale allows us to recognize benefits in areas such as revenue cycle management, purchasing, recruiting, compliance and quality assurance. Our leading local market shares, coupled with our national scale, strengthen our managed care contracting, our relationships with health systems and our ability to deploy innovative payment models, all of which enable us to capture greater patient census.

        Despite our scale, we estimate that our operations only comprise approximately 6% of the market for radiation therapy services in the United States, and a lower amount internationally, representing a robust opportunity to continue our acquisition growth strategies.

Industry Leading Technology and Clinical Platform

        We have developed what we believe to be a superior clinical, technological and training infrastructure. Our scaled and sophisticated infrastructure allows us to aggregate data for the benefit of research and alternative payment models, rapidly deploy advanced protocols to optimize patient care, recruit and retain best-in-class physicians and access differentiated opportunities. The backbone of our capabilities is our internally-developed Oncology Wide-Area Network ("OWAN") system which provides real-time clinical treatment information and serves as a repository for all of our clinical and patient data. Access to this data provides clinical information to measure quality outcomes while also enabling us to lead the change in industry payment methodologies as demonstrated in our development

14


Table of Contents

of the only national bundled payment arrangement for radiation therapy with a national private payer. OWAN also allows us to deploy our internally developed, proprietary software tool, Gamma Function, that we use to measure the effectiveness of radiation therapy delivery to our patients.

        Additionally, we run the only fully-accredited, privately-owned radiation therapy and dosimetry schools in the country and have an affiliated physics program with the University of Pennsylvania, which provide us a consistent source of high quality support clinicians. Proprietary technology and high quality support clinicians aid in our recruiting and retaining of best-in-class physicians. Due to our leading technological, clinical and operating capabilities, we have been selected to serve as the Managing and Development Partner of The New York Proton Center being developed in partnership with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the Mount Sinai Health System (which includes six hospitals in the New York metropolitan area) and Montefiore Medical Center.

Innovative Integrated Approach to Markets

        We hold market leading positions in most of our local markets and have increased our market share by broadening our suite of cancer care services through employing and affiliating with scarce and valuable physicians in the highly specialized fields of medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. Our ICC model enables us to manage an entire episode of care for cancer patients, optimize the quality of care, drive patient census and adapt to anticipated changes in payment methodology. The result of this is that, in our domestic markets where we have implemented our ICC model, we have experienced treatments per day growth at a 6% compound annual growth rate, which is in excess of national cancer incidence growth. A specific example of ICC's potential is in Asheville, North Carolina, where we entered into a value added services agreement with a hospital through a de novo deployment. We transitioned Asheville from a pure freestanding radiation oncology model to our ICC model and built a growing and resilient market presence. This has allowed us to achieve an approximately 65% increase in the revenue contribution of that business.

        In addition, our ICC model and local market strength enable us to be a key partner for health systems and payers. We have been able to transition select relationships with local health systems, ranging from fully outsourced cancer care programs to managed service lines, to become a more differentiated cancer care partner. For example, in Broward County, Florida we worked with the hospital to construct a complete outsourcing of their cancer care services. By recruiting physicians, streamlining operations and improving service levels at the hospital based sites we grew average treatments per day by 33% in 12 months and have converted the business from loss making service to stable, predictable and positive cash flow. Furthermore, managed care plans have increasingly directed patients to our coordinated model, and we believe we are well positioned to accept further bundled payment or other capitated arrangements for an episode of cancer care which may develop.

Proven Acquisition Methodology and Track Record

        We have invested heavily in corporate development and infrastructure to take advantage of a fragmented and rapidly consolidating market. Over the past three years ended December 31, 2013, we have acquired 11 companies representing 69 treatment centers. We have an experienced corporate development team that leverages the extensive market knowledge of our capable regional management to proactively identify and prioritize acquisition targets, as well as cost and synergy potential, based on demographics, payer landscape, ICC opportunity and competitive dynamics.

        Our pipeline of potential targets is robust and acquisitions will remain a significant part of our core growth strategy. We believe we have become a preferred acquisition partner in light of the breadth of services and benefits we can offer.

Strong and Experienced Management Team with Demonstrated Track Record of Performance

        Our senior management team, several of whom are practicing physicians, has extensive public and private sector experience in healthcare. Eleven members of our senior management team have been with us for an average of 16 years and average approximately 19 years in the cancer care industry. These members have been the chief architects behind the Company's growth in revenue from $56.4 million in 1999 to $736.5 million in 2013. In order to capitalize on the opportunities in a consolidating, changing market and leverage our ICC model, we have bolstered our management team with senior level talent in key functional areas such as enterprise management, practice administration, managed care contracting, legal, information technology, acquisition integration and marketing. Management has more than $125 million currently invested in the Company.


Growth Strategy

        Our growth strategy leverages our competitive strengths to provide for long-term enhanced growth.

Capitalize on Organic Growth Opportunities

        The U.S. market for cancer treatment is growing due to the increasing incidence of the disease and a stable reimbursement environment. Over the past 10 years there has been a cumulative Medicare rate change of (15%) for freestanding centers in an effort to achieve site-neutral payments between hospital outpatient and freestanding centers. Today, freestanding centers are reimbursed approximately 11% less than hospital outpatient sites for certain treatments, which suggests that the trend of consistent price declines should end, and we should operate in a more constructive pricing environment in the future. Managed care pricing has been stable to positive for the Company as a result of our proactive contracting strategy whereby we emphasize both our integrated local presence and density while demonstrating our services are 17% less on average than hospital services. In addition, we have been successful in reducing volatility by decoupling our managed care contracts tied to Medicare from 22% in 2010 to 7% in 2013. The international market for cancer treatment is growing at a faster rate due to a lower level of treatment penetration relative to the United States, an increasing diagnosis rate, a growing middle class and expanded insurance access. In addition to this market growth, initiatives contributing to our revenue growth include: technology utilization, expansion of our ICC model, physician recruiting and increased patient flow from managed care plans. We continue to invest capital and resources behind these initiatives at our existing centers to drive long-term, sustainable growth. Evidence of this is our ability to grow at rates above cancer incidence growth in our ICC markets, which are currently only fully established in 18% of our markets. Our year-over-year domestic same market growth, which excludes new market acquisitions, and despite some volatility in the industry related to prostate treatment protocols, has been 1.0%, 2.0%, and 4.3% in each of the last three years ended December 31, 2013, respectively, for average treatments per day. In addition, international treatments per day has grown approximately 8% from 2010 to 2013. As a result, total global treatments per day have grown from approximately 2,992 in 2010 to approximately 4,150 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

Opportunity Resulting from Recently Completed Acquisitions

        Over the year ended December 31, 2013, we completed three material acquisitions resulting in $164 million of acquired revenue which represents 24% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012. We expect the recent acquisition of OnCure and investment in SFRO to contribute significantly to our growth. For OnCure, our largest acquisition to date, which closed on October 25, 2013, we have already implemented cost reductions expected to total approximately $13 million on an annual basis as a result of closing OnCure's headquarters and back office functions and transitioning certain centers from the OnCure management model to our provider model. We expect to achieve incremental cost savings, in addition to realizing substantial revenue synergies from improvements in

16


Table of Contents

managed care contracting and revenue cycle management, upgrade of technology and equipment at the legacy OnCure centers, implementation of our ICC model and deployment of our Gamma Function in the near future. For example, we expect to deploy our Gamma Function at all existing OnCure centers by the end of 2014, which will likely provide incremental revenue to our business.

        We believe our newest investment in SFRO, which closed on February 10, 2014, is highly synergistic as a result of the contiguous nature of our markets. SFRO is a leading provider of cancer care services, with 21 radiation therapy treatment facilities and 88 physicians, in the Southeast Florida region.

Continue to Pursue Our Acquisition Strategy

        Acquisitions and joint ventures are important parts of our expansion plans, and we have invested in the tools and infrastructure to capitalize on these opportunities to realize low-risk cost synergies and long-term growth. The landscape of radiation therapy and related physician specialists is highly fragmented. In 2013, there were approximately 2,350 locations providing radiation therapy in the United States, of which approximately 1,100 were freestanding, or non-hospital based, treatment centers. Only approximately 25% of freestanding treatment centers are affiliated with the largest three provider networks, with the Company holding approximately 13% of the freestanding market. In a broader trend, it is estimated that there are approximately 793,000 physicians in the United States today, of which 36% remain independent as compared to over 50% a decade ago. The Latin American radiation therapy market is similarly fragmented with most competition coming primarily from hospitals and some smaller local groups.

        For acquisitions, we target centers in our existing markets and new markets that have certificates of need, provide significant market share opportunities and where we can expand our ICC model. The foundation of our acquisition strategy is the implementation of our proven operating model at each of our newly acquired treatment centers. This includes the immediate realization of the benefits of scale and market density we provide, but also includes longer-term growth through our focus on technology and implementation of our ICC model. Our focus includes upgrading existing equipment and technologies, developing ICC relationships, introducing advanced therapies and services, providing clinical expertise and enabling our new physicians and patients to access our broad network of centers, contracts and resources.

Pursue Additional Hospital Partnership Opportunities

        We are focused on expanding our relationships with health systems partners. We believe our investments in the ICC model, new systems and data have uniquely positioned us as a partner of choice to health systems. We believe our current footprint only represents a small portion of this market and, as we gain greater local market scale and penetration of the ICC model, we expect our health system partnership discussions to accelerate. The structure of relationships with heath systems includes: joint ventures, management agreements, professional services agreements and full outsourcing of oncology service lines.

Expand in New and Existing International Markets

        Organic and acquisition growth opportunities for radiation therapy services outside of the United States are driven largely by higher volume growth from strong underlying demographic and healthcare industry trends, an underserved and fragmented market and increased access to and payment for technology in the treatment of cancer. In 2011, we acquired MDLLC, the oldest and largest company in Latin America dedicated to radiation therapy, which has served as a platform for our growth in the region. Since our initial investment in MDLLC in 2009, we acquired seven treatment centers and completed two de novo treatment centers in our international markets. We believe that our

17


Table of Contents

international operations provide a faster growth opportunity than in the United States, with MDLLC generating $90.9 million of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. We continue to pursue de novo centers, acquisitions, joint ventures and hospital partnerships to facilitate expansion in existing and new Latin American markets. Physicians in Latin America frequently use older generation equipment and technologies, such as cobalt machines. There are significant opportunities to transfer modern equipment that is not being utilized in the United States to our Latin American centers, thereby increasing our overall equipment utilization while raising the local market standard of care. This enables us to grow in this market through the deployment of advanced technologies such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy ("IMRT") and image guided radiation therapy ("IGRT"), resulting in higher average revenue per treatment, increased profitability and improved patient care.

        In addition to our strategy in Latin America, we will selectively evaluate and pursue expansion in other international markets to further enhance our growth profile and diversify our revenue.

Generate Additional Sources of Revenue from Value Added Services

        Capitalizing on our network, our long history and the breadth of our products and services, we have developed new value added services that we expect to generate additional sources of high-margin revenue outside the third-party reimbursement system. Examples of these value added services include management of the proton beam therapy project in New York, management of the oncology service line at multiple hospital systems, participation in clinical trials, monetization of our historical data and potential licensing of proprietary technology and clinical pathways. Additionally, we have recently launched CarePoint, a global cancer management solution that leverages our core competencies to provide third-party administrative management services for payers using our proprietary clinical pathways, data analytical capabilities and established provider network.


Operations

        We have 30 years of experience operating radiation treatment centers and over time have increasingly affiliated with physicians and other cancer care specialists. We have developed an integrated operating model, which is comprised of the following key elements:

Treatment Center Operations

        Our treatment centers are designed to deliver high-quality radiation therapy in a patient-friendly environment. A treatment center typically has one or two linear accelerators, with additional rooms for simulators, CT scans, physician offices, film processing and physics functions. In addition, treatment centers include a patient waiting room, dressing rooms, exam rooms and hospitality rooms, all of which are designed to minimize patient discomfort. As of December 31, 2013, in 22 of our treatment centers other cancer care specialists are co-located with our radiation therapy specialists. The remainder of our affiliated or employed non-radiation therapy physicians operate their practice with the relevant technical and clinical resources necessary to their disciplines.

        Cancer patients referred to one of our radiation oncologists are provided with an initial consultation, which includes an evaluation of the patient's condition to determine if radiation therapy is appropriate, followed by a discussion of the effects of the therapy. If radiation therapy is selected as a method of treatment, the medical staff engages in clinical treatment planning. Clinical treatment planning utilizes x-rays, CT imaging, ultrasound, PET imaging and, in many cases, advanced computerized 3-D conformal imaging programs, in order to locate the tumor, determine the best treatment modality and the treatment's optimal radiation dosage, and select the appropriate treatment regimen.

        Our radiation treatment centers typically range from 5,000 to 12,000 square feet, have a radiation oncologist and a staff ranging between ten and 25 people, depending on treatment center capacity and

18


Table of Contents

patient volume. The typical radiation therapy treatment center staff includes: radiation therapists, who deliver the radiation therapy, medical assistants or medical technicians, an office financial manager, receptionist, transcriptionist, block cutter, file clerk and van driver. In markets where we have more than one treatment center, we can more efficiently provide certain specialists to each treatment center, such as physicists, dosimetrists and engineers who service the treatment centers within that local market.

Standardized Operating Procedures

        We have developed standardized operating procedures for our treatment centers in order to ensure that our professionals are able to operate uniformly and efficiently. Our manuals, policies and procedures are refined and modified as needed to increase productivity and efficiency and to provide for the safety of our employees and patients. We believe that our standard operating procedures facilitate the interaction of physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists and other employees and permit the interchange of employees among our treatment centers. In addition, standardized procedures facilitate the training of new employees. The quality of our operating and related quality assurance procedures has been recognized by the accrediting bodies in our field, namely the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO).

Coding and Billing

        Coding involves the translation of data from a patient's medical chart to our billing system for submission to third-party payers. Our treatment centers provide radiation therapy services under approximately 60 different professional and technical codes, which determine reimbursement. Our Chief Medical Officer and Chief Compliance Officer along with our certified professional coders work together to establish coding and billing rules and procedures to be utilized at our radiation treatment centers providing consistency across centers. In each treatment center, our certified coders are in charge of executing these rules and procedures with the trained personnel located at each treatment center. To provide an external check on the integrity of the coding process, we conduct internal audits and have also retained the services of a third-party consultant to review and assess our coding procedures and processes on a periodic basis. Billing and collection functions are centrally performed by staff at our executive offices. This allows us to acquire and develop radiation oncology as well as other ICC practices with limited additional resources. Additionally, in an effort to improve collection of patient receivables, we have increased efforts to confirm patient eligibility with payers, verify specific insurance coverage, and facilitate individual payment plans.

Management Information Systems

        We utilize centralized management information systems to closely monitor data related to each treatment center's operations and financial performance. Our management information systems are used to track patient data, physician productivity and coding, as well as billing functions. Our management information systems also provide monthly budget analyses, financial comparisons to prior periods and comparisons among treatment centers, thus enabling management to evaluate the individual and collective performance of our treatment centers. We developed a proprietary image and text retrieval system referred to as the Oncology Wide-Area Network ("OWAN"), which facilitates the storage and review of patient medical charts and films. We periodically review our management information systems for possible refinements and upgrading. Our management information systems personnel install and maintain our system hardware, develop and maintain specialized software and are able to integrate the systems of the practices we acquire.

Maintenance and Physics Departments

        We have established maintenance and physics departments which implement standardized procedures for the acquisition, installation, calibration, use, maintenance and replacement of our linear accelerators, simulators and related equipment, as well as to the overall operation of our treatment centers. Our engineers, in conjunction with manufacturers' representatives, perform preventive maintenance, repairs and installations of our linear accelerators. This enables our treatment centers to ensure quality, maximize equipment productivity and minimize downtime. In addition, the maintenance department maintains a warehouse of linear accelerator parts in order to provide equipment backup. Our physicists monitor and test the accuracy and integrity of each of our linear accelerators on a regular basis to ensure the safety and effectiveness of patient treatment. This testing also helps ensure that the linear accelerators are uniformly and properly calibrated. Independent machine verifications are done annually using the services provided by the M.D. Anderson Radiation Physics Center to confirm proper calibrations. This allows us to reduce down time, complete preventative maintenance, and improve reliability in a cost effective manner, including in our Latin American operations.

Total Quality Management Program

        We strive to achieve total quality management throughout our organization. Our treatment centers, either directly or in cooperation with the appropriate professional corporation or hospital, have a standardized total quality management program consisting of programs to monitor the design of the individual treatment of the patient via the evaluation of charts by radiation oncologists, physicists, dosimetrists and radiation therapists and for the ongoing validation of radiation therapy equipment. Each of our new radiation oncologists is assigned to a senior radiation oncologist who reviews each patient's course of treatment through the patient's medical chart using our OWAN. Furthermore, the data in our patient database is used to evaluate patient outcomes and to modify treatment patterns as necessary to improve patient care. We also utilize patient questionnaires to monitor patient satisfaction with the care that they receive. Using the data from these questionnaires, as well as third-party data, we assign each of our physicians and centers a patient satisfaction score, which helps us identify opportunities for improvement and better understand best practices within our treatment centers.

Clinical Research

        We believe that a well-managed clinical research program enhances the reputation of our physicians and our ability to recruit new cancer specialists. Our treatment centers participate in national cooperative group trials and we have a full-time, in-house research staff to assure compliance with such trials and to perform related outcome analyses. We maintain a proprietary database of information on over 148,000 patients. The data collected includes tumor characteristics such as stage, histology and grade, radiation treatment parameters, other treatments delivered and complications. This data can be used to conduct research, measure quality outcomes and improve patient care. We have also been able to capitalize on the sale of our data to other related disciplines. These research and outcome studies often are presented at international conferences and published in trade journals. Through 2013, our radiation oncologists have published approximately 775 articles in peer reviewed journals and related periodicals.

Payer Contracting

        In an effort to enhance and improve our relationships with managed care and commercial payers, we have added management resources with experience in payer contracting. As a result, we have been able to improve contract terms and increase payment rates in many cases. In addition, we have developed an episode of care or bundled payment agreement with Humana and are working to develop similar arrangements with other payers. We believe these innovative payment approaches will improve alignment and increase our business opportunities with these payers.

Educational Initiatives

        In 1989, we founded The Radiation Therapy School for Radiation Therapy Technology, which is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. The school trains individuals to become radiation therapists. Upon graduation, students become eligible to take the national registry examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Radiation therapists are responsible for administering treatments prescribed by radiation oncologists and monitoring patients while under treatment. Since opening in 1989, the school has produced 155 graduates, 79 of whom are currently employed by us.

        Recognizing a growing need for individuals trained in treatment planning, we founded a Training Program for Medical Dosimetry in 2005. As of December 31, 2013, a total of 29 trainees/prospective students have completed or are in the process of completing the program in dosimetry.

        In addition, we have an affiliated physics program with the University of Pennsylvania to provide internship training sites for their Masters and PhD programs in Medical Physics.

Privacy of Medical Information

        We focus on being compliant with regulations under HIPAA, regarding privacy, security and transmission of health information. We have implemented such regulations into our existing systems, standards and policies to ensure compliance.

Compliance Program

        We have a compliance program that is consistent with guidelines issued by the OIG. As part of this compliance program, we adopted a code of ethics and have a full-time compliance officer at the corporate level. Our program includes an anonymous hotline reporting system, compliance training programs, auditing and monitoring programs and a disciplinary system to enforce our code of ethics and other compliance policies. It also includes a process for screening all employees through applicable federal and state databases of sanctioned individuals. Auditing and monitoring activities include claims preparation and submission and also cover issues such as coding, billing, regulatory compliance and financial arrangements with physicians. These areas are also the focus of our specialized training programs.


Treatment Centers

        As of December 31, 2013, we owned, operated and managed 163 treatment centers in our 6 domestic divisions and our international markets of which:

    38 were internally developed;

Table of Contents

    117 were acquired (including two which were transitioned from professional/other to freestanding); and

    Eight are operated under professional and other service arrangements.

        Of the 163 total centers, 41 are operated in partnership with health systems and other clinics and community-based sites. In the United States, 32 of these centers are either based on a hospital campus or affiliated with a hospital system, and in Central and South America, nine of these centers are either based on a hospital campus or affiliated with a hospital system.

Internally Developed

        As of December 31, 2013, we operated 38 internally developed treatment centers located in Alabama, Argentina, Arizona, California, El Salvador, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. In 2009, we developed new treatment centers in Hammonton, New Jersey; Indio, California; Fort Myers, Florida; Southbridge, Massachusetts; Gilbert, Arizona; Providence, Rhode Island and Yucca Valley, California and in the first half of 2010, we opened de novo treatment centers in Pembroke Pines, Florida and El Segundo, California. In March 2011, we completed a de novo treatment center in El Salvador and in August 2011, we opened a replacement de novo radiation treatment facility in Alabama. In August 2012, we completed a de novo radiation treatment facility in Argentina. In February 2013, we completed a de novo treatment center in Troy, Michigan and during September 2013, we opened a de novo treatment center in Argentina. Our team is experienced in the design and construction of radiation treatment centers, having developed five treatment centers in the past three years ended December 31, 2013. Our newly developed treatment centers typically achieve positive cash flow within six to fifteen months after opening.

Acquired Treatment Centers

        As of December 31, 2013, we operated 117 acquired treatment centers (including two which were transitioned from professional/other to freestanding) located in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia, including 31 acquired treatment centers in South America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. Since January 1, 2011, we have acquired 69 treatment centers of which 32 were acquired in 2011, two were acquired in 2012, and 35 were acquired in 2013. We plan to continue to enter new markets through the acquisition of established treatment centers from time to time. As part of our ongoing acquisition strategy, we continually evaluate potential acquisition opportunities.

Professional and Other Group Treatment Centers

        As of December 31, 2013, we operated eight of our treatment centers pursuant to professional and other service arrangements. We provide services at all of our professional/other treatment centers pursuant to written agreements with hospitals. A professional corporation owned by certain of our equityholders provides the radiation oncologists for our professional/other treatment centers in Mohawk Valley—New York. In connection with certain of our professional/other treatment center services, we provide technical and administrative services. Professional services in our North Carolina professional/other center are provided by physicians employed by a professional corporation owned by certain of our officers, directors and equityholders. Professional services consist of services provided by radiation oncologists to patients. Technical services consist of the non-professional services provided by us in connection with radiation treatments administered to patients. Administrative services consist of services provided by us to the professional/other center. The contracts under which the professional/other treatment centers are provided service are generally three to seven years with terms for renewal.

Treatment Center Structure

Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Carolina and West Virginia Treatment Centers

        In Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Carolina and West Virginia, we employ or contract with radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals. Substantially all of our radiation oncologists in these states have employment agreements or other contractual arrangements with us. While we exercise legal control over radiation oncologists we employ, we do not exercise control over, or otherwise influence, their medical judgment or professional decisions. Such radiation oncologists typically receive a base salary, fringe benefits and may be eligible for an incentive performance bonus. In addition to compensation, we provide our radiation oncologists with uniform benefit plans, such as disability, retirement, life and group health insurance and medical malpractice insurance. The radiation oncologists are required to hold a valid license to practice medicine in the jurisdiction in which they practice and, with respect to inpatient or hospital services, to become a member of the medical staff at the contracting hospital with privileges in radiation oncology. We are responsible for billing patients, hospitals and third-party payers for services rendered by our radiation oncologists. Most of our employment agreements prohibit the physician from competing with us within a defined geographic area and prohibit solicitation of our radiation oncologists, other employees or patients for a period of one to two years after termination of employment.

California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina Treatment Centers

        Many states, including California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina prohibit us from employing radiation oncologists. As a result, we operate our treatment centers in such states pursuant to administrative services agreements between professional corporations and our wholly owned subsidiaries. In the states of California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina, our treatment centers are operated as physician office practices. We typically provide technical services to these treatment centers in addition to our administrative services. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 approximately 18.0%, 19.4% and 18.4% of our net patient service revenue, respectively, was generated by professional corporations with which we have administrative services agreements. The professional corporations with which we have administrative services agreements in California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina are owned by certain of our directors, physicians and equityholders, who are licensed to practice medicine in the respective state.

        Our administrative services agreements generally obligate us to provide certain treatment centers with equipment, staffing, accounting services, billing and collection services, management, technical and administrative personnel and assistance in managed care contracting. Our administrative services agreements provide for the professional corporations to pay us a monthly service fee, which represents the fair market value of our services. It also provides for the parties to meet annually to reevaluate the value of our services and establish the fair market value. In California, Massachusetts, and Nevada, we are paid a fee based upon a fixed percentage of global revenue. In Michigan, we are paid a fee based upon a fixed percentage of net income. In New York and North Carolina, we are paid a fixed fee per procedure. The terms of our administrative services agreements with professional corporations range from 20 to 25 years and typically renew automatically for additional five-year periods. Under related agreements in certain states, we have the right to designate purchases of shares held by the physician owners of the professional corporations to qualified individuals under certain circumstances.

        Our administrative services agreements contain restrictive covenants that preclude the professional corporations from hiring another management services organization for some period after termination. The professional corporations are parties to employment agreements with the radiation oncologists.

23


Table of Contents

The terms of these employment agreements typically range from three to five years depending on the physician's experience.

        As a result of the OnCure Acquisition, in several markets we rely on physician practices to provide our services. Following our acquisition of OnCure, we assumed the MSAs previously in place between OnCure and most of its managed practices, which excluded certain of the MSAs that were rejected in the OnCure bankruptcy proceeding, with all but five of the affected centers becoming either a direct Company provider or placed under a new MSA with a practice that was previously affiliated with us. Under the MSAs, OnCure provides the necessary medical and office equipment, clinical and operating staff (other than physicians) and office space and leasehold improvements, as well as general management and billing/collection services, in exchange for a management fee based on a percentage of the practice's revenues or EBITDA. The MSAs generally run for a term of ten years or longer with either party having the right to renew. Upon the termination or expiration of an MSA, OnCure retains the ownership of the office space and medical and office equipment, as well as the right to operate the center with a different medical provider. While there are certain reciprocal non-compete obligations, such obligations generally terminate upon the termination of the MSA.


Networking

        Our radiation oncologists are primarily referred to patients by: primary care physicians, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, urologists, pulmonologists, neurosurgeons and other physicians within the medical community. Our radiation oncologists are expected to actively develop their referral base by establishing strong clinical relationships with referring physicians. Our radiation oncologists develop these relationships by describing the variety and advanced nature of the therapies offered at our treatment centers, by providing seminars on advanced treatment procedures and by involving the referring physicians in those advanced treatment procedures. Patient referrals to our radiation oncologists also are influenced by managed care organizations with which we actively pursue contractual agreements.

        In 2010, we implemented a physician liaison program whereby such personnel inform both potential and existing referring physicians about the variety and advanced nature of the radiation therapy services our affiliated radiation oncologists can offer to their patients. Our physician liaison program has grown from three physician liaisons in 2010 to 31 as of December 31, 2013.


Employees

        As of December 31, 2013, we employed approximately 3,880 employees, including approximately 777 employees in our international markets. As of December 31, 2013, we were affiliated with 156 radiation oncologists in the United States that were employed or under contract with us or our affiliated professional corporations. We do not employ any radiation oncologists in California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York or North Carolina due to the laws and regulations in effect in these states. None of our employees in our domestic markets are a party to a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relationships with our employees to be good. Approximately 410 employees in our international markets are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the Health Care Providers Union corresponding to the agreement N° 108/75. The agreement does not have a fixed term, although payment increase is negotiated every year by the labor union. There currently is a nationwide shortage of radiation oncologists and other medical support personnel, which makes recruiting and retaining these employees difficult. We provide competitive wages and benefits and offer our employees a professional work environment that we believe helps us recruit and retain the staff we need to operate and manage our treatment centers. In addition to our radiation oncologists, we currently employ in the United States, 124 urologists, 35 surgeons and surgical oncologists, 25 medical oncologists and seven gynecological and other oncologists, four pathologists, two pulmonologists, three dermatologists and 4 primary care physicians whose practices complement our business in eight markets

in Florida as well as our Arizona, California, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and South Carolina local markets.


Seasonality

        Our results of operations historically have fluctuated on a quarterly basis and can be expected to continue to fluctuate. Many of the patients of our Florida treatment centers are part-time residents in Florida during the winter months. Hence, these treatment centers have historically experienced higher utilization rates during the winter months than during the remainder of the year. In addition, volume is typically lower in the summer months due to traditional vacation periods. As of December 31, 2013, 45 of our 130 U.S. radiation treatment centers are located in Florida.


Insurance

        We are subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. To cover these claims, we maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance in amounts we believe are sufficient for our operations. We maintain professional malpractice liability insurance that provides primary coverage on a claims-made basis per incident and in annual aggregate amounts. Our professional malpractice liability insurance coverage is provided by an insurance company owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders. The malpractice insurance provided by this insurance company varies in coverage limits for individual physicians. The insurance company also carries excess claims-made coverage through Lloyd's of London. In addition, we currently maintain multiple layers of umbrella coverage through our general liability insurance policies. We maintain Directors and Officers liability insurance.


Competition

        The cancer care market is highly fragmented and our business is highly competitive. Competition may result from other radiation oncology practices, solo practitioners, companies in other healthcare industry segments, large physician group practices or radiation oncology physician practice management companies, hospitals and other operators of other radiation treatment centers, some of which may have greater financial and other resources than us. We believe our radiation treatment centers are distinguishable from those of many of our competitors because we offer patients a full spectrum of advanced radiation therapy options that are not otherwise available in certain geographies or offered by other providers, and which are administered by highly trained personnel and leading radiation oncologists.


Intellectual Property

        We have not registered our service marks or any of our logos with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. However, some of our service marks and logos may be subject to other common law intellectual property rights. We do not hold any patents. We own the rights to a copyright that protects the content of our Gamma Function software code.

        To date, we have not relied heavily on patents or other intellectual property in operating our business. Nevertheless, some of the information technology purchased or used by us may be patented or subject to other intellectual property rights. As a result, we may be found to be, or actions may be brought against us alleging that we are, infringing on the trademark, patent or other intellectual property rights of others, which could give rise to substantial claims against us. In the future, we may wish to obtain or develop trademarks, patents or other intellectual property. However, other practices and public entities, including universities, may have filed applications for (or have been issued) trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights that may be the same as or similar to those developed or otherwise obtained by us or that we may need in the development of our own intellectual

property. The scope and validity of such trademark, patent and other intellectual property rights, the extent to which we may wish or need to acquire such rights and the cost or availability of such rights are presently unknown. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that others will not obtain access to our intellectual property or independently develop the same or similar intellectual property to that developed or otherwise obtained by us.


Government Regulations

        The healthcare industry is highly regulated and the federal and state laws that affect our business are extensive and subject to frequent changes. Federal law and regulations are based primarily upon the Medicare and Medicaid programs, each of which is financed, at least in part, with federal money. State jurisdiction is based upon the state's authority to license certain categories of healthcare professionals and providers, the state's interest in regulating the quality of healthcare in the state, regardless of the source of payment, and state healthcare programs. The significant federal and state regulatory laws that could affect our ability to conduct our business include without limitation those regarding:

    false and other improper claims;

    HIPAA;

    civil monetary penalties law;

    privacy, security and code set regulations;

    anti-kickback laws;

    the Stark Law and other self-referral and financial inducement laws;

    fee-splitting;

    corporate practice of medicine;

    antitrust;

    licensing; and

    certificates of need.

        A violation of these laws could result in significant civil and criminal penalties, the refund of monies paid by government and/or private payers, exclusion of the physician, the practice or us from participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs and/or the loss of a physician's license to practice medicine. We exercise care in our efforts to structure our arrangements and our practices to comply with applicable federal and state laws. We have a Compliance Committee and a Corporate Compliance Program in place to review our practices and procedures. Although we believe we are in material compliance with all applicable laws, these laws are complex and a review of our practices by a court, or law enforcement or regulatory authority could result in an adverse determination that could harm our business. Furthermore, the laws applicable to us are subject to change, interpretation and amendment, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. No assurance can be given that we will be able to comply with any future laws or regulations.

        We estimate that approximately 48%, 45% and 45% of our net patient service revenue for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, consisted of reimbursements from Medicaid and Medicare government programs. In order to be certified to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, each provider must meet applicable conditions of participation and regulations relating to, among other things, operating policies and procedures, maintenance of equipment, personnel, standards of medical care and compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws. Our treatment centers are certified to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Table of Contents

Federal Law

        Unless otherwise specified, the federal healthcare laws described in this section apply in any case in which we are providing an item or service that is reimbursable under government healthcare programs, including Medicare or Medicaid. The principal federal laws that affect our business include those that prohibit the filing of false or improper claims with government healthcare programs, those that prohibit unlawful inducements for the referral or generation of business reimbursable under Medicare or Medicaid and those that prohibit the provision of certain services by an entity that has a financial relationship with the referring physician.

False and Other Improper Claims

        Under the federal False Claims Act, the government may fine us if we knowingly submit, or participate in submitting, any claims for payment that are false or fraudulent, or that contain false or misleading information, or if we knowingly conceal or knowingly and improperly avoid or decrease an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the government. An "obligation" includes an established duty arising from an express or implied contractual arrangement, from statute or regulation, or from the retention of an overpayment. Knowingly making or using a false record or statement to receive payment from the federal government or to improperly retain payment is also a violation. The False Claims Act does not require proof of specific intent to defraud: a provider can be found liable for submitting false claims with actual knowledge or with reckless disregard or deliberate ignorance of such falseness.

        A False Claims lawsuit may be brought by the government or by a private individual by means of a "qui tam" action. A whistleblower shares in the proceeds of the case, typically being awarded between 15 and 25 percent of the proceeds. Such lawsuits have increased significantly in recent years. In addition, the federal government has engaged a number of nongovernmental-audit organizations to assist it in tracking and recovering false claims for healthcare services.

        If we were ever found to have violated the False Claims Act, we would likely be required to make significant payments to the government (including treble damages and per claim penalties in addition to the reimbursements previously collected) and could be excluded from participating in Medicare, Medicaid and other government healthcare programs. Many states have similar false claims statutes. Healthcare fraud is a priority of the U.S. Department of Justice, the OIG and the Federal Bureau of Investigation which continue to devote a significant amount of resources to investigating healthcare fraud. State Medicaid agencies also have similar fraud and abuse authority, and many states have enacted laws similar to the federal False Claims Act.

        While the criminal statutes generally are reserved for instances evidencing fraudulent intent, the civil and administrative penalty statutes are applied to an increasingly broad range of circumstances. Examples of activities giving rise to false claims liability include, without limitation, billing for services not rendered, billing for services not rendered in compliance with complex Medicare and Medicaid regulations and guidance, misrepresenting services rendered (i.e., miscoding) and application for duplicate reimbursement. Additionally, the federal government has taken the position that claiming reimbursement for unnecessary or substandard services violates these statutes if the claimant should have known that the services were unnecessary or substandard. An entity may also be subjected to False Claims Act liability for violations of the federal anti-kickback statute or the Stark Law.

        Criminal penalties also are available in the case of claims filed with private insurers if the federal government shows that the claims constitute mail fraud or wire fraud or violate a number of federal criminal healthcare fraud statutes. A civil action may also be pursued under state insurance fraud statutes, in the case of claims filed with private insurers.

27


Table of Contents

        We believe our billing and documentation practices comply with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. We submit thousands of reimbursement claims to Medicare and Medicaid each year, however, and therefore can provide no assurance that our submissions are free from errors. Although we monitor our billing practices for compliance with applicable laws, such laws are very complex and the regulations and guidance interpreting such laws are subject to frequent changes and differing interpretations.

HIPAA Criminal Penalties

        HIPAA imposes criminal penalties for fraud against any healthcare benefit program and for obtaining money or property from a healthcare benefit program through false pretenses. HIPAA also provides for broad prosecutorial subpoena authority and authorizes certain property forfeiture upon conviction of a federal healthcare offense. Significantly, the HIPAA provisions apply not only to federal programs, but also to private health benefit programs. HIPAA also broadened the authority of the OIG to exclude participants from federal healthcare programs. If the government were to seek any substantial penalties against us pursuant to these provisions, such an action could have a material adverse effect on us.

HIPAA Civil Penalties

        HIPAA broadened the scope of certain fraud and abuse laws by adding several civil statutes that apply to all healthcare services, whether or not they are reimbursed under a federal healthcare program. HIPAA established civil monetary penalties for certain conduct, including upcoding and billing for medically unnecessary goods or services.

HIPAA Administrative Simplifications

        The federal regulations issued under HIPAA contain provisions that:

    protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of individually identifiable health information;

    require notifications to individuals, and in certain cases to government agencies and the media, in the event of a breach of unsecured protected health information;

    require the implementation of administrative, physical and technological safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form; and

    prescribe specific transaction formats and data code sets for certain electronic healthcare transactions.

        If we fail to comply with HIPAA, we may be subject to civil monetary penalties up to $50,000 per violation, not to exceed $1.5 million per calendar year for non-compliance of an identical provision, and, in certain circumstances, criminal penalties with fines up to $250,000 per violation and/or imprisonment. State attorneys general can bring a civil action to enjoin a HIPAA violation or to obtain statutory damages up to $25,000 per violation on behalf of residents of his or her state.

        The DHHS has discretion in setting the amount of a civil monetary penalty ("CMP"), and may waive it entirely for violations due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect if the payment would be excessive relative to the violation. A CMP is waived entirely for failures due to reasonable cause that are corrected during a 30-day grace period. The regulations also provide for an affirmative defense if a covered entity can show that the violation was not due to willful neglect and was corrected within the 30-day grace period or an additional period deemed appropriate by the DHHS. Reasonable cause means an act or omission in which a covered entity or business associate knew, or by reasonable

28


Table of Contents

diligence would have known, that the act or omission was a HIPAA violation, but one in which the covered entity or business associate did not act with willful neglect. Willful neglect is defined as conscious, intentional failure or reckless indifference to the obligation to comply. The factors to be considered in determining the amount of the penalty include the nature and circumstances of the violation, the degree of culpability, the history of other violations, and the extent of the resulting harm.

        The HIPAA regulations related to privacy establish comprehensive federal standards relating to the use and disclosure of protected health information. The privacy regulations establish limits on the use and disclosure of protected health information, provide for patients' rights, including rights to access, request amendment of, and receive an accounting of certain disclosures of protected health information, and require certain safeguards for protected health information. In general, the privacy regulations do not supersede state laws that are more stringent or grant greater privacy rights to individuals. We believe our operations are in material compliance with the privacy regulations, but there can be no assurance that the federal government would agree.

        Effective September 23, 2009, HIPAA requires that individuals be notified without unreasonable delay and within 60 days of their protected health information having been inappropriately accessed, acquired or disclosed. Depending on the number of individuals affected by such a breach, notification may be required to the media and federal government as well. The regulations prescribe the method and form of the required notices. Civil penalties up to $50,000 per violation with a maximum of $1.5 million per year may attach to failures to notify.

        The Omnibus HIPAA Rule, published on January 25, 2013 and now effective, imposed significant additional obligations and liability on business associates. Business associates are now directly obligated to adhere to the HIPAA Security Rule and certain provisions of the HIPAA Privacy and Breach Notification Rules, such that violations of these rules can be enforced by the government directly against the business associate.

        The HIPAA security regulations establish detailed requirements for safeguarding protected health information that is electronically transmitted or electronically stored. Some of the security regulations are technical in nature, while others may be addressed through policies and procedures. We believe our operations are in material compliance with the security regulations, but there can be no assurance that the federal government would agree.

        The HIPAA transaction standards regulations are intended to simplify the electronic claims process and other healthcare transactions by encouraging electronic transmission rather than paper submission. These regulations provide for uniform standards for data reporting, formatting and coding that we must use in certain transactions with health plans. We believe our operations comply with these standards, but there can be no assurance that the federal government would agree.

        Although we believe that we are in material compliance with these HIPAA regulations with which compliance is currently required, we cannot guarantee that the federal government would agree. Furthermore, additional changes to the HIPAA regulations are expected to be forthcoming in the next few years, which will require additional efforts to ensure compliance.

Anti-Kickback Law

        Federal law commonly known as the "Anti-kickback Statute" prohibits the knowing and willful offer, solicitation, payment or receipt of anything of value (direct or indirect, overt or covert, in cash or in kind) which is intended to induce:

    the referral of an individual for a service for which payment may be made by Medicare and Medicaid or certain other federal healthcare programs; or

29


Table of Contents

    the ordering, purchasing, leasing, or arranging for, or recommending the purchase, lease or order of, any service or item for which payment may be made by Medicare, Medicaid or certain other federal healthcare programs.

        The Anti-kickback Statute has been broadly interpreted by a number of courts to prohibit remuneration which is offered or paid for otherwise legitimate purposes if the circumstances show that one purpose of the arrangement is to induce referrals. Even bona fide investment interests in a healthcare provider may be questioned under the Anti-kickback Statute if the government concludes that the opportunity to invest was offered as an inducement for referrals. The penalties for violations of this law include civil and criminal sanctions including fines and/or imprisonment and exclusion from federal healthcare programs.

        Our compensation and other financial arrangements, including leases, with physicians implicate the Anti-kickback Statute. The federal government has published regulations that provide "safe-harbors" that protect certain arrangements under the Anti-kickback Statute so long as certain requirements are met. We believe that our employment and leasing arrangements comply with applicable safe harbors. Failure to meet the requirements of a safe harbor, however, does not necessarily mean a transaction violates the Anti-kickback Statute. There are several aspects of our relationships with physicians to which the Anti-kickback Statute may be relevant. We claim reimbursement from Medicare or Medicaid for services that are ordered, in some cases, by our radiation oncologists who have ownership interests in the Company. Although neither the existing nor potential investments in us by physicians qualify for protection under the safe harbor regulations, we do not believe that these activities fall within the type of activities the Anti-kickback Statute was intended to prohibit. We also claim reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid for services referred from other healthcare providers with whom we have financial arrangements, including compensation for employment and professional services. While we believe that these arrangements generally fall within applicable safe harbors or otherwise do not violate the law, there can be no assurance that the government will agree, in which event we could be harmed.

        We believe our operations are in material compliance with applicable Medicare and Medicaid and fraud and abuse laws and seek to structure arrangements to comply with applicable safe harbors where reasonably possible. There is a risk however, that the federal government might investigate such arrangements and conclude they violate the Anti-kickback Statute. Violations of the Anti- kickback Statute also subjects an entity to liability under the False Claims Act, including via "qui tam" action. If our arrangements were found to be illegal, we, the physician groups and/or the individual physicians would be subject to civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from the participation in government reimbursement programs, and our arrangements would not be legally enforceable, which could materially adversely affect us.

        Additionally, the OIG issues advisory opinions that provide advice on whether proposed business arrangements violate the anti-kickback law. In Advisory Opinion 98-4, the OIG addressed physician practice management arrangements. In Advisory Opinion 98-4, the OIG found that administrative services fees based on a percentage of practice revenue may violate the Anti-kickback Statute under certain circumstances, and the OIG reiterated in Advisory Opinion 11-17 a concern with percentage fees based on gross collections. While we believe that the fees we charge for our services under the administrative services agreements are commensurate with the fair market value of the services and our arrangements are in material compliance with applicable law and regulations, we cannot guarantee that the OIG would agree. Any such adverse finding could have a material adverse impact on us.

Federal Self-Referral Law (The Stark Law)

        We are also subject to federal and state statutes banning payments and assigning penalties for referrals by physicians to healthcare providers with whom the physicians (or close family members) have a financial relationship. The Stark Law prohibits a physician from referring a patient to a

30


Table of Contents

healthcare provider for certain designated health services reimbursable by Medicare if the physician (or close family members) has a financial relationship with that provider, including an investment interest, a loan or debt relationship or a compensation relationship. The designated health services covered by the law include radiology services, infusion therapy, radiation therapy and supplies, clinical laboratory, diagnostic imaging, outpatient prescription drugs and hospital services, among others. In addition to the conduct directly prohibited by the law, the statute also prohibits "circumvention schemes," that are designed to obtain referrals indirectly that cannot be made directly. The regulatory framework of the Stark Law is to first prohibit all referrals from physicians to entities for Medicare DHS and then to except certain types of arrangements from that broad general prohibition.

        Violation of these laws and regulations may result in prohibition of payment for services rendered, a refund of any Medicare payments for services that resulted from an unlawful referral, $15,000 civil monetary penalties for specified infractions, $100,000 for a circumvention scheme, criminal penalties, exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid programs, and potential false claims liability, including via "qui tam" action, of not less than $5,500 and not more than $11,000, plus three times the amount of damages that the government sustains because of an improperly submitted claim. The repayment provisions in Stark are not dependent on the parties having an improper intent; rather, Stark is a strict liability statute and any violation is subject to repayment of all "tainted" referrals.

        Our compensation and other financial arrangements with physicians implicate the Stark Law. The Stark Law, however, contains exceptions applicable to our operations. We rely on exceptions covering employees, leases, and in-office ancillary services, as well as the "group practice" definition that allows for certain compensation and profit sharing methodologies. Additionally, the definition of "referral" under the Stark Law excludes referrals of radiation oncologists for radiation therapy if (1) the request is part of a consultation initiated by another physician; and (2) the tests or services are furnished by or under the supervision of the radiation oncologist. We believe the services rendered by our radiation oncologists will comply with this exception to the definition of referral.

        Some physicians who are not radiation oncologists are employed by or affiliated with us, companies owned by us or professional corporations owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders with which we have administrative services agreements. To the extent these professional corporations employ such physicians, and they are deemed to have made referrals for radiation therapy, their referrals will be permissible under the Stark Law if they meet the employment exception, which requires, among other things, that the compensation be consistent with the fair market value of the services provided and that it not take into account (directly or indirectly) the volume or value of any referrals by the referring physician. Another Stark exception applicable to our financial relationships with physicians who are not radiation oncologists is the in-office ancillary services exception and accompanying group practice definition which permits profit distributions to physicians within a qualifying group practice structure. The Stark Law imposes detailed requirements in order to qualify for the in-office ancillary services exception, all of which are highly technical and many of which have to date not been subject to extensive judicial review. In the event that the Stark Law were to be amended to modify or otherwise limit the in-office ancillary services exception, this could have a material adverse impact on our business.

        In addition, the Health Care Reform Act requires referring physicians under Stark to inform patients that they may obtain certain imaging services (e.g., MRI, CT and PET) or other designated health services as specified by the Secretary of the DHHS from a provider other than that physician, his or her group practice, or another physician in his or her group practice. To date, DHHS has not included radiation oncology as a service subject to this requirement.

        Lastly, recent federal legislation introduced in August 2013, entitled the Promoting Integrity in Medicare Act of 2013 ("PIMA"), proposes to significantly narrow the in-office ancillary services exception to the Stark Law. PIMA proposes to eliminate from the in-office ancillary services exception

31


Table of Contents

radiation therapy services and advanced diagnostic imaging studies, among others, and increase enforcement and penalties for improper referrals. Furthermore, ASTRO supports these recommended changes to the Stark Law and the enactment of PIMA could have a material adverse impact on our ICC model and our business.

        We believe that our current operations comply in all material respects with the Stark Law, due to, among other things, various exceptions therein and implementing regulations that exempt either the referral or the financial relationship involved. Nevertheless, to the extent physicians affiliated with us make referrals to us and a financial relationship exists between the referring physicians and us, the government might take the position that the arrangement does not comply with the Stark Law. Any such finding could have a material adverse impact on us.

State Law

State Anti-Kickback Laws

        Many states in which we operate have laws that prohibit the payment of kickbacks in return for the referral of patients. Some of these laws apply only to services reimbursable under the state Medicaid program. However, a number of these laws apply to all healthcare services in the state, regardless of the source of payment for the service. Although we believe that these laws prohibit payments to referral sources only where a principal purpose for the payment is for the referral, the laws in most states regarding kickbacks have been subjected to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation and, therefore, no assurances can be given that our activities will be found to be in compliance. Noncompliance with such laws could have a material adverse effect upon us and subject us and the physicians involved to penalties and sanctions.

State Self-Referral Laws

        A number of states in which we operate, such as Florida, have enacted self- referral laws that are similar in purpose to the Stark Law. However, each state law is unique. The state laws and regulations vary significantly from state to state and, in many cases, have not been widely interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies. State statutes and regulations affecting the referral of patients to healthcare providers range from statutes and regulations that are substantially the same as the federal laws and safe harbor regulations to a simple requirement that physicians or other healthcare professionals disclose to patients any financial relationship the physicians or healthcare professionals have with a healthcare provider that is being recommended to the patients. Some states only prohibit referrals where the physician's financial relationship with a healthcare provider is based upon an investment interest. Other state laws apply only to a limited number of designated health services. For example, in Maryland (where we operate 6 facilities), state law prohibits physicians other than radiologists or radiation oncologists from being part of a group practice or otherwise benefitting from MRI, CT or radiation oncology services.

        These statutes and regulations generally apply to services reimbursed by both governmental and private payers. Violations of these laws may result in prohibition of payment for services rendered, refund of any monies received pursuant to a prohibited referral, loss of licenses as well as fines and criminal penalties.

        We believe that we are in compliance with the self-referral law of each state in which we have a financial relationship with a physician. However, we cannot guarantee that the government would agree, and adverse judicial or administrative interpretations of any of these laws could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. In addition, expansion of our operations into new jurisdictions, or new interpretations of laws in existing jurisdictions, could require structural and organizational modifications of our relationships with physicians to comply with that jurisdiction's

32


Table of Contents

laws. Such structural and organizational modifications could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Fee-Splitting Laws

        Many states in which we operate prohibit the splitting or sharing of fees between physicians and referral sources and/or between physicians and non-physicians. These laws vary from state to state and are enforced by courts and regulatory agencies, each with broad discretion. Some states have interpreted management agreements between entities and physicians as unlawful fee-splitting. In most cases, it is not considered to be fee-splitting when the payment made by the physician is reasonable, fair market value reimbursement for services rendered on the physician's behalf.

        In certain states, we receive fees from professional corporations owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders under administrative services agreements. We believe we structure these fee provisions to comply with applicable state laws relating to fee-splitting. However, there can be no certainty that, if challenged, either we or the professional corporations will be found to be in compliance with each state's fee- splitting laws, and, a successful challenge could have a material adverse effect upon us.

        In certain states we operate integrated cancer care practices and share ancillary profits within the practice. We believe we have structured these financial arrangements to comply with state fee-splitting laws. However, there can be no certainty that, if challenged, we will be found to be in compliance with each state's fee-splitting provisions and a successful challenge could have a material adverse effect on us.

        We believe our arrangements with physicians comply in all material respects with the fee-splitting laws of the states in which we operate. Nevertheless, it is possible regulatory authorities or other parties could claim we are engaged in fee-splitting. If such a claim were successfully asserted in any jurisdiction, our radiation oncologists and other physicians could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, professional discipline and we could be required to restructure or terminate our contractual and other arrangements. Any restructuring of our contractual and other arrangements with physician practices could result in lower revenue from such practices, increased expenses in the operation of such practices and reduced input into the business decisions of such practices. Termination of such contracts would result in loss of revenue. In addition, expansion of our operations to other states with fee-splitting prohibitions may require structural and organizational modification to the form of relationships that we currently have with physicians, affiliated practices and hospitals. Any modifications could result in less profitable relationships with physicians, affiliated practices and hospitals, less influence over the business decisions of physicians and affiliated practices and failure to achieve our growth objectives.

Corporate Practice of Medicine

        We are not licensed to practice medicine. The practice of medicine is conducted solely by our licensed radiation oncologists and other licensed physicians. The manner in which licensed physicians can be organized to perform and bill for medical services is governed by the laws of the state in which medical services are provided and by the medical boards or other entities authorized by such states to oversee the practice of medicine. Most states prohibit any person or entity other than a licensed professional from holding him, her or itself out as a provider of diagnoses, treatment or care of patients. Many states extend this prohibition to bar companies not wholly owned by licensed physicians from employing physicians, a practice commonly referred to as the "Corporate Practice of Medicine," in order to maintain physician independence and clinical judgment.

        Business corporations are generally not permitted under certain state laws to exercise control over the medical judgments or decisions of physicians, or engage in certain practices such as fee-splitting

33


Table of Contents

with physicians. Particularly in states where we are not permitted to own a medical practice, we perform only non-medical and administrative and support services, do not represent to the public or clients that we offer professional medical services and do not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine.

        Corporate Practice of Medicine laws vary widely by state regarding the extent to which a licensed physician can affiliate with corporate entities for the delivery of medical services. In Florida, it is not uncommon for business corporations to own medical practices. New York, by contrast, prohibits physicians from sharing revenue received in connection with the furnishing of medical care, other than with a partner, employee or associate in a professional corporation, subcontractor or physician consultant relationship. We have developed arrangements which we believe are in compliance with the Corporate Practice of Medicine laws in the states in which we operate.

        We believe our operations and contractual arrangements as currently conducted are in material compliance with existing applicable laws. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful if our existing organization and our contractual arrangements with the professional corporations are challenged as constituting the unlicensed practice of medicine. In addition, we might not be able to enforce certain of our arrangements, including non-competition agreements and transition and stock pledge agreements. While the precise penalties for violation of state laws relating to the corporate practice of medicine vary from state to state, violations could lead to fines, injunctive relief dissolving a corporate offender or criminal felony charges. There can be no assurance that review of our business and the professional corporations by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect their operations or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change so as to restrict existing operations or their expansion. In the event of action by any regulatory authority limiting or prohibiting us or any affiliate from carrying on our business or from expanding our operations and our affiliates to certain jurisdictions, we may be required to implement structural and organizational modifications, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

Antitrust Laws

        In connection with the Corporate Practice of Medicine laws referred to above, certain of the physician practices with which we are affiliated are necessarily organized as separate legal entities. As such, the physician practice entities may be deemed to be persons separate both from us and from each other under the antitrust laws and, accordingly, subject to a wide range of laws that prohibit anticompetitive conduct among separate legal entities. These laws may limit our ability to enter into agreements with separate practices that compete with one another. In addition, where we also are seeking to acquire or affiliate with established and reputable practices in our target geographic markets, any market concentration could lead to antitrust claims.

        We believe we are in material compliance with federal and state antitrust laws and intend to comply with any state and federal laws that may affect the development of our business. There can be no assurance, however, that a review of our business by courts or regulatory authorities would not adversely affect our operations and the operations of our affiliated physician practice entities.

State Licensing

        As a provider of radiation therapy services in the states in which we operate, we must maintain current occupational and use licenses for our treatment centers as healthcare facilities and machine registrations for our linear accelerators and simulators. Additionally, we must maintain radioactive material licenses for each of our treatment centers which utilize radioactive sources. We believe that we possess or have applied for all requisite state and local licenses and are in material compliance with all state and local licensing requirements.

Certificate of Need

        Many states have enacted certificate of need laws, including, but not limited to, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina and West Virginia, which require prior approval for a number of actions, including for the purchase, construction, acquisition, renovation or expansion of healthcare facilities and treatment centers, to make certain capital expenditures or to make changes in services or bed capacity. In deciding whether to approve certain requests, these states consider the need for additional or expanded healthcare facilities or services. The certificate of need program is intended to prevent unnecessary duplication of services and can be a competitive process whereby only one proposal among competing applicants who wish to provide a particular health service is chosen or a proposal by one applicant is challenged by another provider who may prevail in getting the state to deny the addition of the service.

        Certain states are reconsidering their participation in certificate of need programs, and these decisions could significantly impact the approval process for future projects. For example, on June 25, 2013, the governor of South Carolina vetoed the appropriation of funds for the state's certificate of need program. This veto was upheld by the South Carolina House of Representatives the next day. As a result of the veto, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control ("SCDEHC") suspended the operation of the certificate of need program for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013. The SCDEHC is not reviewing any new or existing applications while the certificate of need program is suspended. A petition is currently pending in front of the South Carolina Supreme Court seeking a declaratory ruling on the ability of providers to engage in activities covered by the state's certificate of need law without approval by the SCDEHC. The outcome of this ruling and other potential future efforts in other states could materially affect our ability to develop new projects in various states and/or alter the competitive landscape.

        In certain states these certificate of need statutes and regulations apply to our related physician corporations and in others it applies to hospitals where we have management agreements or joint venture relationships.

        We believe that we have applied for all requisite state certificate of need approvals or notified state authorities as required by statute and are in material compliance with state requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that a review of our business or proposed new practices by regulatory authorities would not limit our growth or otherwise adversely affect the operations of us and our affiliated physician practice entities.

Other Laws and Regulations

Hazardous Materials

        We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, discharge and disposal of hazardous materials, including medical waste products. We believe that all of our treatment centers comply with these laws and regulations in all material respects and we do not anticipate that any of these laws will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

        Although our linear accelerators and certain other equipment do not use radioactive or other hazardous materials, our treatment centers do provide specialized treatment involving the implantation of radioactive material in the prostate and other organs. The radioactive sources generally are obtained from, and returned to, the suppliers, which have the ultimate responsibility for their proper disposal. We, however, remain subject to state and federal laws regulating the protection of employees who may be exposed to hazardous material and the proper handling, storage and disposal of that material.

Reimbursement and Cost Containment

Reimbursement

        We provide a full range of both professional and technical services. Those services include the initial consultation, clinical treatment planning, simulation, medical radiation physics, dosimetry, treatment devices, special services and clinical treatment management procedures.

        The initial consultation is charged as a professional fee for evaluation of the patient prior to the decision to treat the patient with radiation therapy. The clinical treatment planning also is reimbursed as a technical and professional component. Simulation of the patient prior to treatment involves both a technical and a professional component, as the treatment plan is verified with the use of a simulator accompanied by the physician's approval of the plan. The medical radiation physics, dosimetry, treatment devices and special services also include both professional and technical components. The basic dosimetry calculation is accomplished, treatment devices are specified and approved, and the physicist consults with the radiation oncologist, all as professional and technical components of the charge. Special blocks, wedges, shields, or casts are fabricated, all as a technical and professional component.

        The delivery of the radiation treatment from the linear accelerator is a technical charge. The clinical treatment administrative services fee is the professional fee charged weekly for the physician's management of the patient's treatment. Global fees containing both professional and technical components also are charged for specialized treatment such as hyperthermia, clinical intracavitary hyperthermia, clinical brachytherapy, interstitial radioelement applications, and remote after-loading of radioactive sources.

        Coding and billing for radiation therapy is complex. We maintain a staff of certified coding professionals responsible for interpreting the services documented on the patients' charts to determine the appropriate coding of services for billing of third-party payers. This staff provides coding and billing services for all of our treatment centers except for four treatment centers in New York. In addition, we do not provide coding and billing services to hospitals where we are providing only the professional component of radiation treatment services. We provide training for our coding staff and believe that our coding and billing expertise result in appropriate and timely reimbursement. Given the complexity of the regulations and guidance governing coding and billing, we cannot guarantee that the government will not challenge any of our practices. Any such challenge could have a material adverse effect on us.

Cost Containment

        We derived approximately 48%, 45% and 45% of our net patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, from payments made by government sponsored healthcare programs, principally Medicare. These programs are subject to substantial regulation by the federal and state governments. Any change in payment regulations, policies, practices, interpretations or statutes that place limitations on reimbursement amounts, or changes in reimbursement coding, or practices could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        In recent years, the federal government has sought to constrain the growth of spending in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Through the Medicare program, the federal government has implemented a resource-based relative value scale ("RBRVS") payment methodology for physician services. RBRVS is a fee schedule that, except for certain geographical and other adjustments, pays similarly situated physicians the same amount for the same services. The RBRVS is adjusted each year and is subject to increases or decreases at the discretion of Congress. Changes in the RBRVS may result in reductions in payment rates for procedures provided by the Company. RBRVS-type payment systems also have been adopted by certain private third-party payers and may become a predominant payment methodology. Broader implementation of such programs could reduce payments by private

36


Table of Contents

third-party payers and could indirectly reduce our operating margins to the extent that the cost of providing management services related to such procedures could not be proportionately reduced. To the extent our costs increase, we may not be able to recover such cost increases from government reimbursement programs. In addition, because of cost containment measures and market changes in non-governmental insurance plans, we may not be able to shift cost increases to non-governmental payers. Changes in the RBRVS could result in a reduction from historical levels in per patient Medicare revenue received by us; however, we do not believe such reductions would, if implemented, result in a material adverse effect on us.

        In addition to current governmental regulation, both federal and state governments periodically propose legislation for comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for and availability of healthcare services. Aspects of certain of such healthcare proposals, such as reductions in Medicare and Medicaid payments, if adopted, could adversely affect us. Other aspects of such proposals, such as universal health insurance coverage and coverage of certain previously uncovered services, could have a positive impact on our business, depending on accompanying reimbursement rates. On March 21, 2010, the House of Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the corresponding reconciliation bill. President Obama signed the larger comprehensive bill into law on March 23, 2010 and the reconciliation bill on March 30, 2010. We anticipate that the Health Care Reform Act will continue to significantly affect how the healthcare industry operates in relation to Medicare, Medicaid and the insurance industry. The Health Care Reform Act contains a number of provisions, including those governing fraud and abuse, enrollment in federal healthcare programs, and reimbursement changes, which will impact existing government healthcare programs and will continue to result in the development of new programs, including Medicare payment for performance initiatives and improvements to the physician quality reporting system and feedback program. It is not possible at this time to predict what, if any, additional reforms will be adopted by Congress or state legislatures, or when such reforms would be adopted and implemented. As healthcare reform progresses and the regulatory environment accommodates reform, it is likely that changes in state and federal regulations will necessitate modifications to our agreements and operations. While we believe we will be able to restructure in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure that such restructuring in all cases will be possible or profitable.

        Although governmental payment reductions have not materially affected us in the past, it is possible that such changes implemented in connection with the Health Care Reform Act and any future changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Medicare, Medicaid and other government sponsored healthcare programs are increasingly shifting to some form of managed care. Additionally, funds received under all healthcare reimbursement programs are subject to audit with respect to the proper billing for physician services. Retroactive adjustments of revenue from these programs could occur. We expect that there will continue to be proposals to reduce or limit Medicare and Medicaid payment for services.

        Rates paid by private third-party payers, including those that provide Medicare supplemental insurance, are based on established physician, clinic and hospital charges and are generally higher than Medicare payment rates. Changes in the mix of our patients between non-governmental payers and government sponsored healthcare programs, and among different types of non-government payer sources, could have a material adverse effect on us.

Reevaluations and Examination of Billing

        Payers periodically reevaluate the services they cover. In some cases, government payers such as Medicare and Medicaid also may seek to recoup payments previously made for services determined not to be covered. Any such action by payers would have an adverse effect on our revenue and earnings.

37


Table of Contents

        Due to the uncertain nature of coding for radiation therapy services, we could be required to change coding practices or repay amounts paid for incorrect practices either of which could have a materially adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Other Regulations

        In addition, we are subject to licensing and regulation under federal, state and local laws relating to the collecting, storing, handling and disposal of infectious and other regulated waste and radioactive materials as well as the safety and health of laboratory employees. We believe our operations are in material compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations relating to the collection, storage, handling, treatment and disposal of all infectious and other regulated waste and radioactive materials. We utilize licensed vendors for the disposal of such specimen and waste. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that our current or past operations would be deemed to be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and any noncompliance could result in a material adverse effect on us including fines or penalties or liability for clean-up of contaminated third-party disposal sites.

        In addition to our comprehensive regulation of safety in the workplace, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established extensive requirements relating to workplace safety for healthcare employees, whose workers may be exposed to blood-borne pathogens, such as HIV and the hepatitis B virus. These regulations require work practice controls, protective clothing and equipment, training, medical follow-up, vaccinations and other measures designed to minimize exposure to, and transmission of, blood-borne pathogens.

Healthcare Reform

        National healthcare reform remains a focus at the federal level. On March 21, 2010, the House of Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the corresponding reconciliation bill. President Obama signed the larger comprehensive bill into law on March 23, 2010 and the reconciliation bill on March 30, 2010. The comprehensive $940 billion overhaul is expected to extend coverage to approximately 32 million previously uninsured Americans.

        A significant portion of our patient volume is derived from government healthcare programs, principally Medicare, which are highly regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes. We anticipate the Health Care Reform Act will significantly affect how the healthcare industry operates in relation to Medicare, Medicaid and the insurance industry. The Health Care Reform Act contains a number of provisions, including those governing fraud and abuse, enrollment in federal healthcare programs, and reimbursement changes, which will impact existing government healthcare programs and will result in the development of new programs, including Medicare payment for performance initiatives and improvements to the physician quality reporting system and feedback program.

        On June 28, 2012, the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Health Care Reform Act's "individual mandate" that will require individuals as of 2014 to either purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. The Supreme Court also held, however, that the federal government cannot force states to expand their Medicaid programs by threatening to cut their existing Medicaid funds. As a result of this decision, states are left with a choice about whether to expand their Medicaid programs to cover low-income, non-disabled adults without children. Numerous states opted not to expand their Medicaid program in 2014, which may materially impact our Medicaid revenue in these states.

        The Health Care Reform Act provides for the creation of health insurance Marketplaces in each state where individuals can compare and enroll in QHPs. State were given the option to operate an insurance Marketplace themselves, to partner with the federal government in operating a Marketplace, or to opt for the federal government to operate their Marketplace. Individuals with an income less than 400% of the federal poverty level that purchase insurance on a Marketplace may be eligible for federal

38


Table of Contents

subsidies to cover a portion of their health insurance premium costs. In addition, they may be eligible for government cost sharing of co-insurance or co-pay obligations. An open question remains whether the availability of these federal subsidies classifies a QHP as a federal healthcare program. On October 30, 2013, Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of DHHS, indicated by letter that DHHS does not consider QHPs to be federal healthcare programs. However, this statement by Secretary Sebelius has not been tested in court, and a judge may not agree. If QHPs are classified as federal healthcare programs it could significantly increase the cost of compliance and could materially impact our operations.

        The Health Care Reform Act has experienced several setbacks that heighten the uncertainty about its implementation. On October 1, 2013, the DHHS launched the federally-run insurance Marketplaces through its Healthcare.gov website. The website has experienced multiple problems throughout its launch, which has limited the ability of individuals to sign up for healthcare coverage and has exposed security concerns. In addition, during the Fall of 2013, millions of people with individual health insurance plans received cancelation letters from their insurance providers. These letters frequently expressed that plans were being canceled because they failed to meet the new requirements of the Health Care Reform Act. In response, the White House announced that it would grant state insurance commissioners federal permission to allow consumers to keep existing health insurance policies through 2014. Several state insurance commissions have nonetheless continued to maintain that insurers cannot offer plans in 2014 unless they meet the requirements of the Health Care Reform Act. These implementation setbacks have called into question early predictions about the number of previously un-insured individuals who will obtain coverage through a Marketplace plan. In addition, certain members of Congress continue to introduce legislation that would repeal or significantly amend the Health Care Reform Act. Because of the continued uncertainty about the implementation of the Health Care Reform Act, we cannot predict the impact of the law or any future reforms on our business.

        We can give no assurance that the Health Care Reform Act will not adversely affect our business and financial results, and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform would affect our business.

        In addition, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction ("JSC") was created under the Budget Control Act of 2011 and signed into law on August 2, 2011. Under the law, unless the JSC could achieve $1.2 trillion in savings, an across-the-board sequestration would occur on January 2, 2013, and each subsequent year through 2021, to achieve $1.2 trillion in savings. On November 21, 2011, the JSC released a statement indicating the committee would be unable to reach agreement, thereby clearing the way for the sequestration process. Unless Congress acts to reverse the cuts, Medicare providers will be cut under the sequestration process by two percent each year relative to baseline spending through 2021. On January 2, 2013, the President signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which extended the sequestration order required under the Budget Control Act until March 1, 2013. On March 1, 2013, President Obama issued the required sequestration order and, pursuant to 2 U.S.C. § 906, the two percent Medicare sequester began to take effect for services provided on or after April 1, 2013.

Legal Proceedings

        We are involved in certain legal actions and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business and are generally covered by insurance. It is the opinion of management, based on advice of legal counsel, that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        On February 18, 2014, we were served with subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health & Human Services acting with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for

39


Table of Contents

the Middle District of Florida who together have requested the production of medical records of patients treated by certain of our physicians for the period from January 2007 to present regarding the ordering, billing and medical necessity of certain laboratory services as part of a civil False Claims Act investigation, as well as our agreements with such physicians. The laboratory services under review relate to the utilization of fluorescence in situ hybridization ("FISH") laboratory tests ordered by certain of our employed physicians and performed by us. We have recorded a liability of approximately $4.7 million that is included in accrued expenses and general and administrative expense in our consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations and comprehensive loss, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. The recorded estimate is based on a probability weighted analysis of the low-end of the range of the liability that considers the facts currently known by us, our review of qualitative and quantitative factors, and our assessment of potential outcomes under different scenarios used to assess our exposure which may be used to determine a potential settlement should we decide not to litigate. Our recording of a liability related to this matter is not an admission of guilt. Depending on how this matter progresses, our exposure may be less than or more than the liability recorded and we will continue to reassess and adjust the liability until this matter is settled. Our estimate of the high-end of the range of exposure is $9.4 million.

        Based on reviews performed to date, we do not believe that we or our physicians knowingly submitted false claims in violation of applicable Medicare statutory or regulatory requirements. We are cooperating fully with the subpoena requests. We believe we have a meritorious position and will vigorously defend any claim that may be asserted against us.


Recent Developments

SFRO Joint Venture

        On February 10, 2014, we completed our investment in SFRO increasing the number of our radiation therapy centers by 21 and adding 88 additional radiation oncology and ICC physicians. In connection with our purchase of a 65% interest in SFRO, we entered into a new credit agreement providing for a $60 million term loan facility and $7.9 million of term loans to refinance existing SFRO debt (the "SFRO Credit Agreement"). In addition, subject to certain terms and conditions, the owners of the remaining 35% of SFRO will have the right to exchange their ownership interest in SFRO for common stock of 21CH.

        The SFRO Joint Venture increases the number of our treatment centers by approximately 10% and is expected to add approximately 591 average treatments per day.

        We believe that both the OnCure Acquisition and SFRO Joint Venture provide us an opportunity to further leverage our infrastructure, contracting, technology and footprint to achieve significant operating synergies, broaden and deepen our ability to offer advanced cancer care to patients throughout the United States and offer expansion opportunities for our ICC model across the Company.

        As a result of our recently completed transactions, we now operate 179 treatment centers, including 145 centers located in 16 U.S. states.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

        You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, in evaluating our company and our business. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.


Risks Related to Our Business

We depend on payments from government Medicare and, to a lesser extent, Medicaid programs for a significant amount of our revenue. Our business could be materially harmed by any changes that result in reimbursement reductions.

        Our payer mix is concentrated with Medicare patients due to the high proportion of cancer patients over the age of 65. We estimate that approximately 48%, 45%, and 45% of our U.S. net patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, consisted of payments from Medicare and Medicaid. Only a small percentage of that revenue resulted from Medicaid patients, equaling approximately 2.8%, 2.7%, and 2.7% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. In addition, Medicare Advantage represents approximately 13% of our 2013 U.S. net patient service revenue. These government programs generally reimburse us on a fee-for-service basis based on predetermined government reimbursement rate schedules. As a result of these reimbursement schedules, we are limited in the amount we can record as revenue for our services from these government programs. Following a public comment period, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") can change these schedules annually and therefore the prices that the agency pays for these services. In addition, if our operating costs increase, we will not be able to recover these costs from government payers. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in reimbursement for Medicare reimbursement. Various state Medicaid programs also have recently reduced Medicaid payments to providers based on state budget reductions. Although Medicaid reimbursement encompasses only a small portion of our business, there can be no certainty as to whether Medicaid reimbursement will increase or decrease in the future and what affect, if any, this will have on our business.

        In the final Medicare 2013 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS reduced payments for radiation oncology by 7%. This reduction related to (1) the fourth year of the four-year transition to the utilization of new Physician Practice Information Survey ("PPIS") data, (2) a change in equipment interest rate assumptions, (3) budget neutrality effects of a proposal to create a new discharge care management code, (4) input changes for certain radiation therapy procedures, and (5) certain other revised radiation oncology codes. The largest of these changes (accounting for 4% of the gross reduction) reflected the transition of the final 25% of PPIS data used in the Practice Expense Relative Value Unit ("PERVU") methodology. The change in the CMS interest rate policy (accounting for 3% of the gross reduction) reduced interest rate assumptions in the CMS database from 11% to a sliding scale of 5.5% to 8%. CMS also finalized its proposal to create a HCPCS G-code to describe transition care management from a hospital or other institutional stay to a primary physician in the community (accounting for 1% of the gross reduction). While this policy benefited primary care, non-primary care physicians are negatively impacted due to the budget-neutrality of the Medicare 2013 Physician Fee Schedule. The rule also made adjustments (accounting for 1% of the gross reduction) due to the use of new time of care assumptions for IMRT and stereotactic body radiation therapy ("SBRT"). Although the proposed reductions in time of care assumptions alone would have resulted in a gross 7% reduction to radiation oncology, CMS in its final rule included updated cost data submitted by the radiation oncology community for code inputs which reversed the vast majority of the reduction resulting from the new time of care assumptions. Total gross reductions in the final rule were offset by a 2% increase due to

42


Table of Contents

certain other revised radiation oncology codes, which resulted in a total net reduction to radiation oncology of 7%.

        In the proposed Medicare 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS proposed to reduce payments for radiation oncology by 5% overall. This reduction related to a cap on certain radiation oncology services at the hospital outpatient department and ambulatory surgical center's ("OPD/ASC") rate [-4%]; reductions to certain radiation oncology codes due to Medicare Economic Index ("MEI") revisions [-2%]; and offsetting minor increases due to other aspects of the fee schedule [+1%]. Because the cap and MEI policies only applied to freestanding settings, the cut to freestanding centers would likely have been closer to 8%, while hospital-based radiation oncologists would have received an increase in payment under the proposal. In the final Medicare 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS did not finalize its proposal to cap certain radiation oncology services at the OPD/ASC rate. Although CMS did finalize its proposal to revise the MEI [-2% impact], CMS also incorporated updated relative value units ("RVUs") for new and existing codes [+3% impact] resulting in a net impact of +1% for radiation oncology overall. Because the MEI policy only applies to freestanding settings, the impact to freestanding centers is approximately flat, while hospital-based radiation oncologists would receive an increase in payment under the final rule. CMS noted in the final rule, due to budget neutrality requirements relating to the MEI policy, the 2014 conversion factor was estimated to be $35.6446 (assuming no sustainable growth rate ("SGR") cuts), rather than the 2013 conversion factor of $34.023.

        Medicare reimbursement rates for all procedures under Medicare ultimately are determined by a formula which takes into account a conversion factor ("CF") which is updated on an annual basis based on the SGR. For the last several years, the SGR policy has threatened significant cuts to the CF, although Congress has consistently delayed those cuts. On December 26, 2013 the President signed into law the Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013, which prevented the scheduled SGR payment reduction for physicians from taking effect on January 1, 2014. Instead, the Pathway for SGR Reform Act provided for a 0.5 percent update (to $35.8228) for such services through March 31, 2014. On April 1, 2014, the President signed H.R. 4302, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 which extended the $35.8228 conversion factor through 2014 and also provided for a zero percent update through March 31, 2015. If future SGR reductions are not suspended, and if a permanent "doc fix" is not signed into law, the currently scheduled SGR reimbursement decrease (estimated at more than 20%) will take effect on April 1, 2015.

        In addition, under the Budget Control Act of 2011, Medicare providers are cut under a sequestration process by 2% each year relative to baseline spending through 2021. This policy subsequently was extended through 2024. In the Protecting Access to Medicare Act, the sequestration policy was frontloaded for the year 2024 such that Medicare providers would be cut 4% in the first half of 2024 and 0% in the second half of 2024.

Reforms to the U.S. healthcare system may adversely affect our business.

        On March 21, 2010, the House of Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the corresponding reconciliation bill. President Obama signed the larger comprehensive bill into law on March 23, 2010 and the reconciliation bill on March 30, 2010 (collectively, the "Health Care Reform Act"). The comprehensive $940 billion dollar overhaul could extend coverage to approximately 32 million previously uninsured Americans.

        A significant portion of our U.S. patient volume is derived from government programs, principally Medicare, which are highly regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes. We anticipate the Health Care Reform Act will continue to significantly affect how the healthcare industry operates in relation to Medicare, Medicaid and the insurance industry. The Health Care Reform Act contains a number of provisions, including those governing fraud and abuse, enrollment in federal healthcare programs, and reimbursement changes, which impact existing government healthcare programs and will

43


Table of Contents

continue to result in the development of new programs, including Medicare payment for performance initiatives and improvements to the physician quality reporting system and feedback program.

        On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Health Care Reform Act's "individual mandate" that will require individuals as of 2014 to either purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. The Supreme Court also held, however, that the federal government cannot force states to expand their Medicaid programs by threatening to cut their existing Medicaid funds. As a result of this decision, states are left with a choice about whether to expand their Medicaid programs to cover low-income, non-disabled adults without children. Numerous states opted not to expand their Medicaid program in 2014, which may materially impact our Medicaid revenue in these states.

        The Health Care Reform Act provides for the creation of health insurance "Marketplaces" in each state where individuals can compare and enroll in Qualified Health Plans ("QHPs"). Some QHPs will be partially subsidized by Federal funds. Individuals with an income less than 400% of the federal poverty level that purchase insurance on a Marketplace may be eligible for federal subsidies to cover a portion of their health insurance premium costs. In addition, they may be eligible for government cost sharing of co-insurance or co-pay obligations. The presence of Federal funds in QHPs in the form of subsidies and cost sharing may subject providers to heightened government attention and enforcement, which could significantly increase the cost of compliance and could materially impact our operations.

        Furthermore, an open question remains whether the availability of these federal subsidies classifies a QHP as a federal healthcare program. In an October 30, 2013 letter, Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("DHHS"), indicated that DHHS does not consider QHPs to be federal healthcare programs. However, this statement by Secretary Sebelius has not been tested in court, and a judge may not agree. Additionally, a subsequent Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") FAQ on November 4, 2013, as well as a November 7, 2013 letter from U.S. Senator Charles Grassley to Secretary Sebelius and Attorney General Eric Holder, indicates that this issue is not settled. If QHPs are classified as federal healthcare programs it could further increase the cost of compliance significantly for providers. The Health Care Reform Act has experienced several setbacks that heighten the uncertainty about its implementation. On October 1, 2013, the DHHS launched the federally-run insurance Marketplaces through its www.healthcare.gov website. The website has experienced multiple problems throughout its launch, which has limited the ability of individuals to sign up for healthcare coverage and has exposed security concerns. In addition, during the fall of 2013, millions of people with individual health insurance plans received cancellation letters from their insurance providers. These letters frequently expressed that plans were being cancelled because they failed to meet the new requirements of the Health Care Reform Act. In response, the White House announced that it would grant state insurance commissioners federal permission to allow consumers to keep existing health insurance policies through 2014. Several state insurance commissions have nonetheless continued to maintain that insurers cannot offer plans in 2014 unless they meet the requirements of the Health Care Reform Act. These implementation setbacks have called into question early predictions about the number of previously un-insured individuals who will obtain coverage through a Marketplace plan. In addition, certain members of Congress continue to introduce legislation that would repeal or significantly amend the Health Care Reform Act. Because of the continued uncertainty about the implementation of the Health Care Reform Act, we cannot predict the impact of the law or any future reforms on our business.

        We can give no assurance that the Health Care Reform Act will not adversely affect our business and financial results, and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform would affect our business.

If payments by managed care organizations and other commercial payers decrease, our revenue and profitability could be adversely affected.

        We estimate that approximately 51%, 54% and 54% of our net patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, was derived from commercial payers such as managed care organizations and private health insurance programs as well as individuals. As of December 31, 2013, we have over 900 contracts with commercial payers. These commercial payers generally reimburse us for services rendered to insured patients based upon predetermined rates. Rates for health maintenance organization ("HMO") benefit plans are typically lower than those for preferred provider organization ("PPO") or other benefit plans that offer broader provider access. While commercial payer rates are generally higher than government program reimbursement rates, approximately 7% of our non-Medicare Advantage commercial payer revenue is directly linked to Medicare reimbursement rates. When Medicare rates change, these commercial rates automatically change as well. Additionally, most commercial payers tend to negotiate their rates as a percentage of Medicare reimbursement. Even when our commercial rates are fixed and not tied directly to changes in Medicare, there is often pressure to renegotiate our reimbursement to align with these modified levels. If managed care organizations and other private insurers reduce their rates or we experience a significant shift in our revenue mix toward certain additional managed care payers or Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements, then our revenue and profitability may decline and our operating margins will be reduced. Non-government payers, including managed care payers, continue to demand discounted fee structures, and the trend toward consolidation among non-government payers tends to increase their bargaining power over fee structures. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to retain and renew our managed care contracts as well as enter into new managed care contracts on terms favorable to us. Any inability to maintain suitable financial arrangements with commercial payers could have a material adverse impact on our business.

        Increasingly, commercial payers are turning to third-party benefits managers to pre-certify radiation oncology services or develop payment-based treatment protocols. The failure to obtain such pre-certifications and adhere to such protocols can result in the payers' denial of payment in whole or in part. While we are working with such benefits managers to assure compliance with their policies or to obtain modification of what we believe to be inappropriate policies, there can be an assurance that they will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our overall business results may suffer from an economic downturn.

        The U.S. economy has weakened significantly following the 2008 financial crisis. Depressed consumer spending and higher unemployment rates continue to pressure many industries and geographic locations. During economic downturns, governmental entities often experience budget deficits as a result of increased costs and lower than expected tax collections. These budget deficits may force federal, state and local government entities to decrease spending for health and human service programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and similar programs, which represent significant payer sources for our treatment centers. Other risks we face from general economic weakness include potential declines in the population covered under managed care agreements, patient decisions to postpone or cancel elective procedures as well as routine diagnostic examinations, potential increases in the uninsured and underinsured populations and further difficulties in our collecting patient co-payment and deductible receivables.

Due to the rising costs of managed care premiums and co-pay amounts, coupled with the current economic environment, we may realize an increased exposure to bad debt due to patients' inability to pay for certain forms of cancer treatment.

        As more patients become uninsured as a result of job losses or receive reduced coverage as a result of cost-control measures by employers to offset the increased costs of managed care premiums, patients are becoming increasingly responsible for the rising costs of treatment, which is increasing our

45


Table of Contents

exposure to bad debt. This also relates to patient accounts for which the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts (deductibles and co-payments) remain outstanding. The shifting responsibility to pay for care has, in some instances, resulted in patients electing not to receive certain forms of cancer treatment.

        In response to this environment, we have improved our processes associated with verification of insurance eligibility and patient responsibility payment programs. In addition, we have improved our patient financial counseling efforts and developed tools to monitor our progress in this area. However, a continuation of the trends that have resulted in an increasing proportion of accounts receivable being comprised of uninsured accounts and a deterioration in the collectability of these accounts will adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.

We depend on recruiting and retaining qualified healthcare professionals for our success.

        Our success is dependent upon our continuing ability to recruit, train and retain or affiliate with radiation oncologists, ICC physicians, physicists, dosimetrists and radiation therapists. While there is currently a national shortage of certain of these healthcare professionals, we have not experienced significant problems attracting and retaining key personnel and professionals in the recent past. We face competition for such personnel from other healthcare providers, research and academic institutions, government entities and other organizations. In the event we are unable to recruit and retain these professionals, such shortages could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow. Additionally, many of our senior radiation oncologists, due to their reputations and experience, are very important in the recruitment and education of radiation oncologists. The loss of any such senior radiation oncologists could negatively impact us.

        Most of our radiation oncologists and other ICC physicians in the United States are employed under employment agreements which, among other things, provide that they will not compete with us (or the professional corporations contracting with us) for a period of time after their employment terminates. Such covenants not to compete are enforced to varying degrees from state to state. In most states, a covenant not to compete will be enforced only to the extent that it is necessary to protect the legitimate business interest of the party seeking enforcement, that it does not unreasonably restrain the party against whom enforcement is sought and that it is not contrary to the public interest. This determination is made based upon all the facts and circumstances of the specific case at the time enforcement is sought. It is unclear whether our interests under our administrative services agreements will be viewed by courts as the type of protected business interest that would permit us or the professional corporations to enforce a non-competition covenant against the radiation oncologists. Since our success depends in substantial part on our ability to preserve the business of our radiation oncologists and other ICC physicians, a determination that these provisions are unenforceable could have a material adverse effect on us.

        As a result of the OnCure Acquisition, in several markets we rely on physician practices to provide our services. Following our acquisition of OnCure, we assumed the Management Services Agreements ("MSAs") previously in place between OnCure and most of its managed practices, which excluded certain of the MSAs that were rejected in the OnCure bankruptcy proceeding, with all but five of the affected centers becoming either a direct Company provider or placed under a new MSA with a practice that was previously affiliated with us. Under the MSAs, OnCure provides the necessary medical and office equipment, clinical and operating staff (other than physicians) and office space and leasehold improvements, as well as general management and billing/collection services, in exchange for a management fee based on a percentage of the practice's revenues or EBITDA. The MSAs generally run for a term of ten years or longer with either party having the right to renew. Upon the termination or expiration of an MSA, OnCure retains the ownership of the office space and medical and office equipment, as well as the right to operate the center with a different medical provider. While there are certain reciprocal non-compete obligations, such obligations are generally relinquished upon the termination of the MSA.

We depend on our senior management and we may be materially harmed if we lose any member of our senior management.

        We are dependent upon the services of our senior management, especially Daniel E. Dosoretz, M.D., our Chief Executive Officer, and a director on the Company's Board of Directors and Alejandro Dosoretz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medical Developers Cooperatief U.A. B.V. and Vidt Centro Medico. We have entered into executive employment and non-competition agreements with certain members of our senior management. Because many members of our senior management team have been with us for over 10 years and have contributed greatly to our growth, their services would be very difficult, time consuming and costly to replace. We carry key-man life insurance on Dr. Daniel Dosoretz. The loss of key management personnel or our inability to attract and retain qualified management personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. A decision by any of these individuals to leave our employ, to compete with us or to reduce their involvement in our business, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The oncology treatment market is highly competitive.

        The cancer treatment market is highly competitive in each market in which we operate. Our treatment centers face competition from hospitals, other medical practitioners and other operators of radiation treatment centers. There is a growing trend by hospitals to employ medical oncologists and other ICC physicians. We compete against hospitals and other providers to employee these individuals, which generally results in such physicians referring their patients to the hospitals' radiation facilities, rather than other free-standing facilities. There is also a growing trend of physicians in specialties other than radiation oncology, such as urology, entering the radiation treatment business. If these trends continue it could harm our referrals and our business. Certain of our competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial and other resources than us. In addition, in states that do not require a certificate of need for the purchase, construction or expansion of healthcare facilities or services, competition in the form of new services, facilities and capital spending is more prevalent. If our competitors are better able to attract patients, recruit physicians, expand services or obtain favorable managed care contracts at their facilities than our centers, we may experience an overall decline in patient volume. In the event that we are not able to compete successfully, our business may be adversely affected and competition may make it more difficult for us to affiliate with or employ additional radiation oncologists on terms that are favorable to us.

We could be the subject of governmental investigations, claims and litigation.

        Healthcare companies are subject to numerous types of investigations by various governmental agencies. Further, under the False Claims Act, private parties have the right to bring "qui tam," or "whistleblower," suits against companies that knowingly submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. The False Claims Act imposes penalties of not less than $5,500 and not more than $11,000, plus three times the amount of damages which the government sustains because of the submission of a false claim. In addition, if we are found to have violated the False Claims Act, we could be excluded from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Some states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions. Certain of our individual facilities have received, and other facilities may receive, inquiries from federal and state agencies related to potential False Claims Act liability. Depending on whether the underlying conduct in these or future inquiries or investigations could be considered systemic, their resolution could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

        Governmental agencies and their agents, such as the Medicare Administrative Contractors, as well as the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("OIG"), CMS and state Medicaid programs, conduct audits of our healthcare operations. Private payers may conduct similar post-payment audits, and we also perform internal audits and monitoring. Depending

47


Table of Contents

on the nature of the conduct found in such audits and whether the underlying conduct could be considered systemic, the resolution of these audits could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

        The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 established the Recovery Audit Contractor ("RAC") three-year demonstration program to conduct post-payment reviews to detect and correct improper payments in the fee-for-service Medicare program. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 made the RAC program permanent and expanded the program nationwide as of 2010. Since the nationwide expansion of the RAC program, CMS has recouped more than $5 billion in overpayments from fee-for-service Medicare providers. In addition, the Health Care Reform Act mandated the expansion of the RAC program to Medicaid. In 2011 CMS issued a Final Rule on Medicaid RAC program, requiring every state Medicaid agency to implement its Medicaid RAC program by 2012. State Medicaid agencies have also increased their review activities. Should we be found out of compliance with any of these laws, regulations or programs, depending on the nature of the findings, our business, our financial position and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

        Consistent with its ongoing oversight obligations, the DHHS, acting through local Medicare carriers, the OIG and other enforcement agencies has requested information from us, through subpoenas and other civil information requests, seeking to confirm that the validity of claims that we submit for payment from the Medicare program. Upon receipt of such requests, we are fully cooperative with the government representatives/agents in supplying the requested information. Through our rigorous corporate compliance program that was established in accordance with OIG guidelines and includes periodic internal claims audits, we believe that we are in material compliance with all pertinent Medicare regulations, policies and procedures. The resolution of these requests could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

We may be subject to actions for false claims, which could harm our business, if we do not comply with government coding and billing rules.

        If we fail to comply with federal and state documentation, coding and billing rules, we could be subject to criminal and/or civil penalties, loss of licenses and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which could harm us. We estimate that approximately 48%, 45%, and 45% of our U.S. net patient service revenue for the years ended December 31 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, consisted of payments from Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, Medicare Advantage represents approximately 13% of our 2013 U.S. net patient service revenue. In billing for our services to third-party payers, we must follow complex documentation, coding and billing rules. These rules are based on federal and state laws, rules and regulations, various government pronouncements, and on industry practice. Failure to follow these rules could result in potential civil liability under the False Claims Act, under which extensive financial penalties can be imposed. It could further result in criminal liability under various federal and state criminal statutes. We submit thousands of claims for Medicare and other payments and there can be no assurance that there have not been errors. While we carefully and regularly review our documentation, coding and billing practices as part of our compliance program, the rules are frequently vague and confusing and we cannot assure that governmental investigators, private insurers or private whistleblowers will not challenge our practices. Such a challenge could result in a material adverse effect on our business.

If we fail to comply with the federal anti-kickback statute, we could be subject to criminal and civil penalties, loss of licenses and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which could materially harm us.

        A provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the federal anti-kickback statute, prohibits the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for referring, ordering, leasing, purchasing or arranging for or recommending the ordering, purchasing or leasing of items or services payable by Medicare, Medicaid or any other federally funded healthcare program. The

48


Table of Contents

federal anti-kickback statute is very broad in scope, as remuneration includes the transfer of anything of value, in cash or in kind. Financial relationships covered by this statute can include any relationship where remuneration is provided for referrals including payments not commensurate with fair market value, whether in the form of space, equipment leases, professional or technical services or anything else of value. As it is an "intent-based" statute, as detailed in federal court precedent, one or both parties must intend the remuneration to be in exchange for or to induce referrals. Violations of the federal anti-kickback statute may result in substantial civil or criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $25,000, imprisonment of up to five years, civil penalties under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law of up to $50,000 for each violation, plus three times the remuneration involved, civil penalties under the federal False Claims Act of up to $11,000 for each claim submitted, plus three times the amounts paid for such claims and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These penalties and the participation exclusion, if applied to us or one or more of our subsidiaries or affiliates, could result in significant reductions in our revenues and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

        In addition, most of the states in which we operate, including Florida, have also adopted laws, similar to the federal anti-kickback statute, that prohibit payments to physicians in exchange for referrals, some of which apply regardless of whether the source of payment is a government payer or a private payer. These statutes typically impose criminal and civil penalties as well as loss of licenses.

        Under a provision of the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, civil monetary penalties (and exclusion) may be imposed on any person who offers or transfers remuneration to any patient who is a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary, when the person knows or should know that the remuneration is likely to induce the patient to receive medical services from a particular provider. This broad provision applies to many kinds of inducements or benefits provided to patients, including complimentary items, services or transportation that are of more than a nominal value. We have reviewed our practices of providing services to our patients, and have structured those services in a manner that we believe complies with the law and its interpretation by government authorities. We cannot provide assurances, however, that government authorities will not take a contrary view and impose civil monetary penalties and exclude us for past or present practices.

If we fail to comply with physician self-referral laws as they are currently interpreted or may be interpreted in the future, or if other legislative restrictions are issued, we could incur a significant loss of reimbursement revenue.

        We are subject to the federal Stark Law, as well as similar state statutes and regulations, which bans payments for designated health services ("DHS") rendered as a result of referrals by physicians to DHS entities with which the physicians (or immediate family members) have a financial relationship. DHS includes, but is not limited to, radiation therapy, radiology and laboratory services. A "financial relationship" includes investment and compensation arrangements, both direct and indirect. The regulatory framework of the Stark Law is to first prohibit all referrals from physicians to entities for Medicare DHS and then to except certain types of arrangements from that broad general prohibition.

        State self-referral laws and regulations vary significantly based on the state and, in many cases, have not been interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies. These state laws and regulations can encompass not only services reimbursed by Medicaid or government payers but also private payers. Violation of these federal and state laws and regulations may result in prohibition of payment for services rendered, loss of licenses, $15,000 civil monetary penalties for specified infractions, $100,000 for a circumvention scheme, criminal penalties, exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid programs, and potential false claims liability, including via "qui tam" action, of not less than $5,500 and not more than $11,000 per claim, plus three times the amount of damages that the government sustains because of an improperly submitted claim. The repayment provisions in the Stark Law are not dependent on the parties having an improper intent; rather, the Stark Law is a strict liability statute and any violation is subject to repayment of all "tainted" referrals.

49


Table of Contents

        Our compensation and other financial arrangements with physicians are governed by the federal Stark Law. We rely on certain exceptions to the Stark Law, including those covering employees and in-office ancillary services, and the exclusion of certain requests by radiation oncologists for radiation therapy services from the definition of "referral." Under our ICC model, we have relationships with non-radiation oncology physicians such as medical oncologists, surgeons and urologists that are members of a group practice with our radiation oncologists and we rely on the Stark group practice definition and rules with respect to such relationships.

        The Health Care Reform Act also imposes new disclosure requirements, including one such requirement on referring physicians under the federal Stark Law to inform patients that they may obtain certain imaging services (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI"), computed tomography ("CT") and positron emission tomography ("PET")) or other designated health services as specified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services in the future from a provider other than that physician, his or her group practice, or another physician in his or her group practice. To date, CMS has not applied these disclosure requirements to radiation therapy referrals but could do so in the future.

        While we believe that our financial relationships with physicians and referral practices are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we cannot guarantee that government authorities might take a different position. If we were found to be in violation of the Stark Law, we could be subject to significant civil and criminal penalties, including fines as specified above, exclusion from participation in government and private payer programs and requirements to refund amounts previously received from government and private payers.

        In addition, expansion of our operations to new jurisdictions, or new interpretations of laws in our existing jurisdictions, could require structural and organizational modifications of our relationships with physicians to comply with that jurisdiction's laws. Such structural and organizational modifications could result in lower profitability and failure to achieve our growth objectives.

        Certain states have proposed statutory or regulatory enactments that would prohibit the use of the Stark Law "in-office ancillary services" ("IOAS") exception for ICC physicians to obtain any financial benefit from radiation oncology and other DHS services even if they are part of a group practice. To date, only the state of Maryland has enacted such prohibition. Similarly, the American Society for Radiation Oncology ("ASTRO") supports recent proposed federal legislation, the Promoting Integrity in Medicare Act of 2013 ("PIMA"), which, if passed, would eliminate certain specified ancillary services from the IOAS exception to the Stark Law, including radiation therapy services and advanced diagnostic imaging studies, and increase enforcement and penalties for improper referrals. If any of these state or federal proposed enactments are promulgated, this could have a material adverse impact on our ICC model and our business.

If a federal or state agency asserts a different position or enacts new laws or regulations regarding illegal payments under the Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, experience a significant reduction in our revenue or be excluded from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs.

        Any change in interpretations or enforcement of existing or new laws and regulations could subject our current business practices to allegations of impropriety or illegality, or could require us to make changes in our treatment centers, equipment, personnel, services, pricing or capital expenditure programs, which could increase our operating expenses and have a material adverse effect on our operations or reduce the demand for or profitability of our services.

        Additionally, new federal or state laws may be enacted that would cause our relationships with our radiation oncologists or other physicians to become illegal or result in the imposition of penalties against us or our treatment centers. If any of our business arrangements with our radiation oncologists or other physicians in a position to make referrals of radiation therapy services were deemed to violate the federal anti-kickback statute or similar laws, or if new federal or state laws were enacted rendering these arrangements illegal, our business would be adversely affected.

We may encounter numerous business risks in identifying, acquiring and developing additional treatment centers, and may have difficulty operating and integrating those treatment centers.

        Over the past three years ended December 31, 2013, we have acquired 69 treatment centers, acquired 3 professional/other centers, developed 5 treatment centers, developed 1 professional/other center and transitioned 2 professional/other centers to freestanding treatment centers, all of which includes our acquisition of OnCure which we completed on October 25, 2013. As part of our growth strategy, we expect to continue to add additional treatment centers in our existing and new local and international markets. When we acquire or develop additional treatment centers, we may:

    be unable to make acquisitions on terms favorable to us or at all;

    have difficulty identifying desirable targets or locations for treatment centers in suitable markets;

    be unable to obtain adequate financing to fund our growth strategy;

    be unable to successfully operate the treatment centers;

    have difficulty integrating their operations and personnel;

    be unable to retain physicians or key management personnel;

    acquire treatment centers with unknown or contingent liabilities, including liabilities for failure to comply with healthcare laws and regulations;

    experience difficulties with transitioning or integrating the information systems of acquired treatment centers;

    be unable to contract with third-party payers or attract patients to our treatment centers; and/or

    experience losses and lower gross revenues and operating margins during the initial periods of operating our newly-developed treatment centers.

        Larger acquisitions could increase our potential exposure to business risks. Furthermore, integrating a new treatment center could be expensive and time consuming, and could disrupt our ongoing business and distract our management and other key personnel. In addition, we may incur significant transaction fees and expenses, including for potential transactions that are not consummated.

        We may continue to explore acquisition opportunities outside of the United States when favorable opportunities are available to us. In addition to the risks set forth herein, foreign acquisitions involve unique risks including the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with the specific country, currency risks, the relative uncertainty regarding laws and regulations and the potential difficulty of integrating operations across different cultures and languages.

        We currently plan to continue to develop new treatment centers in existing and new local markets, including international markets. We may not be able to structure economically beneficial arrangements in new markets as a result of healthcare laws applicable to such market or otherwise. If these plans change for any reason or the anticipated schedules for opening and costs of development are revised by us, we may be negatively impacted. There can be no assurance that these planned treatment centers will be completed or that, if developed, will achieve sufficient patient volume to generate positive operating margins. If we are unable to timely and efficiently integrate a newly-developed treatment center, our business could suffer.

        In the case of OnCure, the business operates through a structure dependent on management services agreements. If we are unable to manage these management services agreements and the associated relationships, the business may suffer and the expected results of the acquisition may not be realized.

        We cannot assure you that we will achieve the revenue and benefits identified in this Annual Report from completed acquisitions, including with respect to OnCure, or that we will achieve synergies and cost savings or benefits in connection with future acquisitions. In addition, many of the businesses that we have acquired and will acquire have unaudited financial statements that have been prepared by the management of such companies and have not been independently reviewed and audited. We cannot assure you that the financial statements of companies we have acquired or will acquire would not be materially different if such statements were audited. Finally, we cannot assure you that we will continue to acquire businesses at valuations consistent with our prior acquisitions or that we will complete acquisitions at all.

Any failure to comply with regulations relating to privacy and security of patient information could subject us to significant penalties.

        There are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient information privacy and security concerns, including state laws related to identity theft. In particular, the federal regulations issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as modified by Title XIII, subtitle D of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (collectively, "HIPAA") contain provisions that:

    protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of patient information;

    require notifications to individuals, and in certain cases to government agencies and the media, in the event of a breach of unsecured protected health information;

    require the implementation of security safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form; and

    prescribe specific transaction formats and data code sets for certain electronic healthcare transactions.

        Furthermore, the Omnibus HIPAA Rule, published on January 25, 2013 and now effective, makes business associates directly obligated to adhere to the HIPAA Security Rule and certain provisions of the HIPAA Privacy and Breach Notification Rules, such that violations of these rules can be enforced by the government directly against the business associate.

        Compliance with these regulations requires us to spend money and substantial time and resources. We believe that we are in material compliance with the HIPAA regulations with which we are currently required to comply. If we fail to comply with the HIPAA regulations, we could suffer civil penalties up to $50,000 per violation, not to exceed $1.5 million per calendar year for non-compliance of identical provisions, and criminal penalties with fines up to $250,000 per violation and possible imprisonment. Our facilities could be subject to a periodic audit by the federal government, and enforcement of HIPAA violations may occur by either federal agencies or state attorneys general. In 2011, the government launched a HIPAA audit initiative to assess covered entities' controls and processes implemented to comply with the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach notification Rules, and the Office of Civil Rights is expected to implement a permanent HIPAA audit program beginning in 2014, which will expand compliance audits to business associates.

State law limitations and prohibitions on the corporate practice of medicine may materially harm our business and limit how we can operate.

        State governmental authorities regulate the medical industry and medical practices extensively. Many states have corporate practice of medicine laws which prohibit us from:

    employing physicians;

52


Table of Contents

    practicing medicine, which, in some states, includes managing or operating a radiation treatment center;

    certain types of fee arrangements with physicians;

    owning or controlling equipment used in a medical practice;

    setting fees charged for physician services;

    controlling the content of physician advertisements and marketing;

    billing and coding for services;

    pursuing relationships with physicians and other referral sources; or

    adding facilities and services.

        In addition, many states impose limits on the tasks a physician may delegate to other staff members. We have administrative services agreements in states that prohibit the corporate practice of medicine such as California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina. Corporate practice of medicine laws and their interpretation vary from state to state, and regulatory authorities enforce them with broad discretion. We have structured our agreements and services in those states in a manner that we believe complied with the law and its interpretation by government authorities. If, however, we are deemed to be in violation of these laws, we could be required to restructure or terminate our agreements which could materially harm our business and limit how we operate. In the event the corporate practice of medicine laws of other states would adversely limit our ability to operate, it could prevent us from expanding into the particular state and impact our growth strategy.

In certain states we depend on administrative services agreements with professional corporations, including related party professional corporations, and if we are unable to continue to enter into them or they are terminated, we could be materially harmed.

        Certain states, including California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina, have laws prohibiting business corporations from employing physicians. Our treatment centers in California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina operate through administrative services agreements with professional corporations that employ the radiation oncologists who provide professional services at the treatment centers in those states. In 2011, 2012 and 2013, $114.7 million, $132.8 million and $131.9 million, respectively, of our net patient service revenue was derived from administrative services agreements, as opposed to $524.0 million, $553.4 million and $584.1 million, respectively, from all of our other centers. The professional corporations in these states are currently owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders, who are licensed to practice medicine in those states. As we enter into new states that will require an administrative services agreement, there can be no assurance that a related party professional corporation, or any professional corporation, will be willing or able to enter into an administrative services agreement. Furthermore, if we enter into an administrative services agreement with an unrelated party there could be an increased risk of differences arising or future termination. We cannot assure you that a professional corporation will not seek to terminate an agreement with us on any basis, including on the basis of state laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine, nor can we assure you that governmental authorities in those states will not seek termination of these arrangements on the same basis. While we have not been subject to such proceedings in the past, we could be materially harmed if any state governmental authorities or the professional corporations with which we have an administrative services agreement were to succeed in such a termination.

        As compared to our approach, the OnCure model involves MSA arrangements (as more fully described elsewhere in this Annual Report) with medical practices whose shareholders and partners are

53


Table of Contents

not otherwise affiliated with OnCure. Such medical practices serve as the provider of clinical services with all revenues being billed to patients and/or third party payers in the name or tax identification number or provider number of the practice. As compared to our general model, OnCure has less involvement in the clinical aspects of the center, focusing instead on the provision of space and equipment, as well as day-to-day management. While in connection with the integration of OnCure, it is our plan to introduce our proprietary technology and systems, as well as our ICC model, to these managed practices, there is no assurance that the shareholders and partners in the practices will adopt these systems and model. Moreover, while the terms of the MSAs generally run for ten years or longer, the non-compete obligations of the managed practices and their shareholders and partners generally cease upon the expiration or termination of the MSAs. Finally, whereas our financial arrangements with our affiliated physicians and practices generally involve an employment or compensation arrangement, the financial model under the OnCure MSAs involves a sharing of revenues or EBITDA. In short, the practices that are affiliated with OnCure under the MSA model generally have greater autonomy in their operations than the model we generally deploy.

Our business could be materially harmed by future interpretation or implementation of state laws regarding prohibitions on fee-splitting.

        Many states prohibit the splitting or sharing of fees between physicians and non-physicians, as well as between treating physicians and referral sources. These laws vary from state to state and are enforced by courts and regulatory agencies, each with broad discretion. Some states have interpreted certain types of fee arrangements in practice management agreements between entities and physicians as unlawful fee-splitting. We believe our arrangements with physicians comply in all material respects with the fee-splitting laws of the states in which we operate. Nevertheless, if government regulatory authorities were to disagree, we and our radiation oncologists could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, and we could be required to restructure or terminate our contractual and other arrangements, which would result in a loss of revenue and could result in less input by us into the business decisions of such practices. In addition, expansion of our operations to other states with certain types of fee-splitting prohibitions may require structural and organizational modification to the form of relationships that we currently have with physicians, professional corporations and hospitals, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our treatment center operations, we could suffer penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations.

        Our treatment center operations are subject to many laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels. These laws and regulations require that our treatment centers meet various licensing, certification and other requirements, including those relating to:

    qualification of medical and support persons;

    pricing of services by healthcare providers;

    the adequacy of medical care, equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures;

    clinic licensure and certificates of need;

    maintenance and protection of records; and

    environmental protection, health and safety, including the handling and disposal of medical waste.

        While we have structured our operations in a manner that we believe complies in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that government regulators will agree, given the breadth and complexity of such laws. If a government agency were to find that we are

54


Table of Contents

not in compliance with these laws, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including becoming the subject of cease and desist orders, rejection of the payment of our claims, the loss of our licenses to operate and our ability to participate in government or private healthcare programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Our failure to comply with laws related to hazardous materials could materially harm us.

        Our treatment centers provide specialized treatment involving the use of radioactive material in the treatment of the lungs, prostate, breasts, cervix and other organs. The materials are obtained from, and, if not permanently placed in a patient or consumed, returned to, a third-party provider of supplies to hospitals and other radiation therapy practices, which has the ultimate responsibility for its proper disposal. We, however, remain subject to state and federal laws regulating the protection of employees who may be exposed to hazardous material and regulating the proper handling, storage and disposal of that material. Although we believe we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws, a violation of such laws, or the future enactment of more stringent laws or regulations, could subject us to liability, or require us to incur costs that could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our business may be harmed by technological and therapeutic changes.

        The treatment of cancer patients is subject to potential significant technological and therapeutic changes. Future technological developments could render our equipment obsolete. We may incur significant costs in replacing or modifying equipment in which we have already made a substantial investment prior to the end of its anticipated useful life. In addition, there may be significant advances in other cancer treatment methods, such as chemotherapy, surgery, biological therapy or in cancer prevention techniques, which could reduce demand or even eliminate the need for the radiation therapy services we provide.

Changes in medical treatment guidelines or recommendations may adversely affect our business.

        There are numerous options that a cancer patient can undergo for treatment. There are also a number of regulatory bodies, research panels and formal guidelines that can influence or even dictate patients, payers and physicians in the course of action that a patient determines to take for his or her particular form of cancer. For instance, in May 2012, the U.S. Preventative Task Force finalized its recommendation against prostate-specific antigen ("PSA") screening and the National Cancer Institute suggested changes in treatment patterns for prostate cancer away from definitive treatment and towards "watchful waiting" or "active surveillance." Both of these bodies' proclamations negatively impacted the volume of prostate cancer treatments nationally. On a same practice basis, in 2012, our prostate cancer treatment volumes declined by over 9.6% over 2011. Although our prostate volumes have stabilized, there can be no assurance that further recommendations or changes in treatment guidelines for prostate cancer or other cancer types will not result in a decrease in diagnosis and treatment of cancer which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Efforts to regulate the construction, acquisition or expansion of healthcare treatment centers could prevent us from developing or acquiring additional treatment centers or other facilities or renovating our existing treatment centers.

        Many states have enacted certificate of need laws which require prior approval for the construction, acquisition or expansion of healthcare treatment centers. In giving approval, these states consider the need for additional or expanded healthcare treatment centers or services. In the states of Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina and West Virginia in which we currently operate, certificates of need must be obtained for capital expenditures exceeding a prescribed amount, changes in capacity or services offered and various other matters. Other states in which we now or may in the future operate may also require certificates of need under certain

55


Table of Contents

circumstances not currently applicable to us. We may not be able to obtain the certificates of need or other required approvals for ongoing, additional or expanded treatment centers or services in the future. In addition, at the time we acquire a treatment center, we may agree to replace equipment or expand the acquired treatment center. If we are unable to obtain required approvals, we may not be able to acquire additional treatment centers or other facilities or expand acquired treatment centers, expand the healthcare services we provide at these treatment centers or replace equipment.

        Certain states are reconsidering their participation in certificate of need programs, and these decisions could significantly impact the approval process for future projects. For example, on June 25, 2013, the governor of South Carolina vetoed the appropriation of funds for the state's certificate of need program. This veto was upheld by the South Carolina House of Representatives the next day. As a result of the veto, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control ("SCDEHC") suspended the operation of the certificate of need program for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013. The SCDEHC is not reviewing any new or existing applications while the certificate of need program is suspended. A petition is currently pending in front of the South Carolina Supreme Court seeking a declaratory ruling on the ability of providers to engage in activities covered by the state's certificate of need law without approval by the SCDEHC. The outcome of this ruling and other potential future efforts in other states could materially affect our ability to develop new projects in various states.

We are exposed to local business risks in different countries, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

        We have significant operations in foreign countries. Currently, we operate through 25 legal entities in Argentina, Costa Rica, The Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico, in addition to our operations in the United States. Our offshore operations are subject to risks inherent in doing business in foreign countries, including, but not necessarily limited to:

    new and different legal and regulatory requirements in local jurisdictions, which may conflict with U.S. laws;

    local economic conditions;

    potential staffing difficulties and labor disputes;

    increased costs of transportation or shipping;

    credit risk and financial conditions of government, commercial and patient payers;

    risk of nationalization of private enterprises by foreign governments;

    potential imposition of restrictions on investments;

    potential restrictions on repatriation of funds, payments of dividends and other financial options integral to our investments and operations;

    potential declines in government and/or private payer reimbursement amounts for our services;

    potentially adverse tax consequences, including imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

    foreign currency exchange restrictions and fluctuations; and

    local political and social conditions, including the possibility of hyperinflationary conditions and political or social instability in certain countries.

        We may not be successful in developing and implementing policies and strategies to address the foregoing factors in a timely and effective manner at each location where we do business. Consequently, the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our international operations or upon our financial condition and results of operations.

56


Table of Contents

        Further, our international operations require us to comply with a number of U.S. and international regulations. For example, we must comply with U.S. economic sanctions and export control laws in connection with exports of products and services, and we must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), which prohibits U.S. companies or their agents and employees from providing anything of value to a foreign official or agent thereof for the purposes of influencing any act or decision of these individuals in their official capacity to help obtain or retain business, direct business to any person or corporate entity or obtain any unfair advantage. Any failure by us to ensure that our employees and agents comply with the FCPA, economic sanctions and export controls, and applicable laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial penalties or restrictions on our ability to conduct business in certain foreign jurisdictions, and our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

        In addition, local governments may take actions that are adverse to our interests and our business. For example, in 2012 Argentina's government nationalized the country's largest oil and gas company via taking a 51% stake. While no such proposal has been made or threatened with respect to any businesses in the Argentine healthcare sector, we have significant operations in Argentina and any such development could have a material adverse effect on our international operations or upon our financial condition and results of operations.

        Our international subsidiaries accounted for $60.5 million, $81.2 million and $90.9 million or 9.4%, 11.7% and 12.3%, of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly impact our results of operations and may significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods.

        Some of our operations are conducted by subsidiaries in foreign countries. The results of the operations and the financial position of these subsidiaries are reported in the relevant foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. The main currency to which we are exposed, besides the U.S. dollar, is the Argentine peso. The exchange rate between the Argentine peso and the U.S. dollar in recent years has fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. A depreciation of this currency against the U.S. dollar will decrease the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts derived from these operations reported in our consolidated financial statements and an appreciation of this currency will result in a corresponding increase in such amounts. In addition, currency fluctuations may affect the comparability of our results of operations between financial periods.

        We incur currency exchange risk whenever we enter into a transaction using a currency other than the local currency of the transacting entity. Given the volatility of exchange rates, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively manage our currency exchange risks or that any volatility in currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Exchange controls implemented by the Argentine Government on the acquisition of U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies could have a material impact in our operations, business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The Argentine government has implemented certain measures that control and restrict the ability of companies and individuals to exchange Argentine Pesos for foreign currencies. Those measures include, among other things, the requirement to obtain the prior approval from the Argentine Tax Authority and Central Bank of the foreign currency transaction (for example and without limitation, for the payment of non-Argentine goods and services, payment of principal and interest on non-Argentine debt and also payment of dividends to parties outside of the country), which approval process could delay, and eventually restrict, the ability to exchange Argentine pesos for other currencies, such as U.S.

57


Table of Contents

dollars. Those approvals are administered by the Argentine Central Bank through the Mercado Unico y Libre de Cambio, which is the only market where exchange transactions may be lawfully made. Further, restrictions also currently apply to the acquisition of any foreign currency for holding as cash within Argentina. There can be no assurance that the Central Bank of Argentina or other government agencies will not increase such controls or restrictions or make modifications to these regulations or establish more severe restrictions on currency exchange, making payments to foreign creditors or providers, dividend payments to foreign shareholders or require its prior authorization for such purposes. As a result, these exchange controls and restrictions could materially affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our Argentine subsidiaries and could significantly impact our ability to comply with our foreign currency obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

Our information systems are critical to our business and a failure of those systems could materially harm us.

        We depend on our ability to store, retrieve, process and manage a significant amount of information, and to provide our treatment centers with efficient and effective accounting and scheduling systems. Our information systems require maintenance and upgrading to meet our needs, which could significantly increase our administrative expenses. We are currently upgrading multiple systems and migrating to other systems within our organization.

        Furthermore, any system failure that causes an interruption in service or availability of our systems could adversely affect operations or delay the collection of revenues. Even though we have implemented network security measures, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. The occurrence of any of these events could result in interruptions, delays, the loss or corruption of data, or cessations in the availability of systems, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations and harm our business reputation.

        The performance of our information technology and systems is critical to our business operations. Our information systems are essential to a number of critical areas of our operations, including:

    accounting and financial reporting;

    billing and collecting accounts;

    coding and compliance;

    clinical systems;

    medical records and document storage;

    inventory management;

    negotiating, pricing and administering managed care contracts and supply contracts; and

    monitoring quality of care and collecting data on quality measures necessary for full Medicare payment updates.

        Any failure of our information technology and systems could disrupt these operations, which could lead to a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

If we fail to effectively and timely implement electronic health record systems, our operations could be adversely affected.

        As required by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the DHHS has developed and is implementing an incentive payment program for eligible healthcare professionals that adopt and meaningfully use certified electronic health record ("EHR") technology. If our future treatment centers

58


Table of Contents

are unable to meet the requirements for participation in the incentive payment program, we will not be eligible to receive incentive payments that could offset some of the costs of implementing EHR systems. Further, beginning in 2015, eligible healthcare professionals that fail to demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology will be subject to reduced payments from Medicare. While we have qualified at our existing facilities, failure to implement EHR systems effectively and in a timely manner at our recently acquired facilities or any future facilities would impact our eligibility to participate in these incentive programs and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Our financial results may suffer if we have to write-off goodwill or other intangible assets.

        A significant portion of our total assets consist of goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, accounted for approximately 58.8% and 56.4% of the total assets on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We may not realize the value of our goodwill or other intangible assets. We expect to engage in additional transactions that will result in our recognition of additional goodwill or other intangible assets. We evaluate on a regular basis whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that all or a portion of the carrying amount of goodwill or other intangible assets may no longer be recoverable, and is therefore impaired. Under current accounting rules, any determination that impairment has occurred would require us to write-off the impaired portion of our goodwill or the unamortized portion of our intangible assets, resulting in a charge to our earnings. We have written off significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets in the past, and any future write-off could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we wrote-off approximately $360.6 million in goodwill, trade name, leasehold improvements and other investments as a result of our annual impairment testing of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and branding initiatives relating to our trade name. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we wrote-off approximately $81.0 million in goodwill and leasehold improvements as a result of our interim impairment testing of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. For the year ended December 31, 2013, there was no impairment of goodwill or intangible.

We are addressing a previous material weakness with respect to our internal controls and have identified two separate material weaknesses in our internal controls, which could, if not sufficiently remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

        In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, we identified a material weakness in internal controls relating to the valuation of goodwill. We have taken steps since then to remediate the internal control weakness, such that at December 31, 2013, our controls over the valuation of goodwill operated effectively. During 2013, we continued to review the underlying assumptions and inputs to the valuation specialists, as well as reviewed the underlying schedules related to the output of the calculation of the impairment values. As we further optimize and refine our goodwill valuation processes, we will review the related controls and may take additional steps to ensure that they remain effective and are integrated appropriately. While we have implemented the procedures described above and will continue to take further steps in the near future to strengthen further our internal controls, there can be no assurance that we will not identify control deficiencies in the future or that such deficiencies will not have a material impact on our operating results or financial statements.

        In addition, in March 2014, we identified a material weakness in our internal communications regarding the identification of and accounting for the loss contingency, along with the related disclosure regarding certain subpoenas we received in February, 2014, from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health & Human Services. We determined that the error was caused by (i) the design of certain controls relating to the identification and communication of potential losses relating to

59


Table of Contents

certain patient billings and (ii) deficiencies in the determination of and accounting for the probable loss as well as the related disclosures regarding the subpoenas. Management determined that these control deficiencies constituted material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. See Item 9A for further information.

        We are in the process of developing and implementing new processes and procedures to remediate the material weaknesses that existed in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure as of December 31, 2013, as well as the continued improvement of our overall system of internal controls over financial reporting with respect to the accounting for loss contingencies, including the establishment of a disclosure committee and the assessment of future probable loss contingency accounting and methods.

        If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weakness or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, or report them within the required timeframes, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results in the future, which could cause investors and others to lose confidence in our financial statements, limit our ability to raise capital and could adversely affect our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

A significant number of our treatment centers are concentrated in certain states, particularly Florida, which makes us sensitive to regulatory, economic and other conditions in those states.

        Our Florida treatment centers accounted for approximately 40%, 39% and 39% of our freestanding radiation revenues during the years ended December 31 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Our treatment centers are also concentrated in the states of California and North Carolina, which accounted for approximately 7.0% and 7.2%, respectively, of our freestanding radiation revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. This concentration makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory requirements in those locations, including those related to false and improper claims, anti-kickback laws, self-referral laws, fee-splitting, corporate practice of medicine, antitrust, licensing and certificates of need, as well as economic and other conditions which could impact us. If our treatment centers in these states are adversely affected by changes in regulatory, economic or other conditions, our revenue and profitability may decline.

Our operations in Florida and other areas could be disrupted or damaged by hurricanes and other natural disasters.

        Florida is susceptible to hurricanes, and as of December 31, 2013, we have 45 radiation treatment centers located in Florida. Our Florida centers accounted for approximately 40%, 39% and 39% of our freestanding radiation revenues during the years ended December 31 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Our California centers are located in areas that are known to experience earthquakes from time to time, some of which have been severe. In 2005, 21 of our treatment centers in South Florida were disrupted by Hurricane Wilma which required us to close all of these centers for one business day. Although none of these treatment centers suffered structural damage as a result of the hurricane, their utility services were disrupted. While Hurricane Wilma did not have any long-term impact on our business, our Florida treatment centers, our California treatment centers and any of our other treatment centers located in other areas that may be affected by a hurricane, earthquake or other natural disaster could be subject to significant disruptions and/or damage in the future and could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results. We carry property damage and business interruption insurance on our facilities, but there can be no assurance that it would be adequate to cover all such losses.

We have potential conflicts of interest relating to our related party transactions which could harm our business.

        We have potential conflicts of interest relating to existing agreements we have with certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders. In 2011, 2012 and 2013, we paid an aggregate of $21.5 million, $21.6 million and $22.9 million, respectively, under certain of our related party agreements, including leases, and malpractice insurance premiums and we received $82.7 million, $62.5 million and $72.1 million, respectively, pursuant to our other services agreements with related parties. Potential conflicts of interest can exist if a related party has to make a decision that has different implications for us and the related party. If a dispute arises in connection with any of these agreements, if not resolved satisfactorily to us, our business could be harmed. These agreements include:

    administrative services agreements with professional corporations that are owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders;

    leases we have entered into with entities owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders; and

    medical malpractice insurance which we acquire from an entity owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders.

        In California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina, we have administrative services agreements with professional corporations that are owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders who own interests in these professional corporations. While we have stock transfer agreements corresponding to our administrative services agreements in place in all states except New York that provide us with the ability to designate qualified successor physician owners of the shares held by the physician owners of these professional corporations upon the occurrence of certain events, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enforce them under the laws of the respective states or that they will not be challenged by regulatory agencies. Such stock transfer agreements do not exist with the practices located in California, Florida and Indiana that are affiliated with OnCure. Potential conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the administrative services agreements that may have materially different implications for us and the professional corporations and there can be no assurance that it will not harm us. For example, we bill for such services either on a fixed basis, percentage of net collections basis, or on a per treatment basis, depending on the particular state requirements and certain of these arrangements are subject to renegotiation on an annual basis. We may be unable to renegotiate acceptable fees, in which event many of the administrative services agreements provide for binding arbitration. If we are unsuccessful in renegotiations or arbitration this could negatively impact our operating margins or result in the termination of our administrative services agreements.

        Additionally, we lease 37 of our treatment centers from ownership groups that consist of certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders. Before we enter into these leases, we compare rates and terms with our standard documentation as well as rely on third-party fair market value reports for relevant markets. We may be unable to renegotiate these leases when they come up for renewal on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

        In October 2003, we replaced our existing third-party medical malpractice insurance coverage with coverage we obtained from an insurance entity which is owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders. After soliciting various third-party proposals for malpractice insurance coverage on an annual basis, we renewed this coverage in 2011, 2012 and 2013, with the approval of the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. We may be unable to renegotiate this coverage at acceptable rates and comparable coverage may not be available from third-party insurance companies. If we are unsuccessful in renewing our malpractice insurance coverage, we

61


Table of Contents

may not be able to continue to operate without being exposed to substantial risks of claims being made against us for damage awards we are unable to pay.

        Related party transactions between us and any related party are subject to approval by the Audit and Compliance Committee on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors or by the Company's Board of Directors, and disputes are handled by the Company's Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that the above or any future conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor. If not resolved in our favor, such conflicts could harm our business. For a further description of our related party transactions, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions."

In recent years, accreditation of facilities and the establishment of a national error reporting database have been under consideration.

        The Chairman of the American College of Radiology ("ACR") called for the required accreditation of all facilities which bill Medicare for advanced medical imaging and radiation oncology services, including those in hospitals at a congressional hearing on medical radiation. In addition, ASTRO called for the establishment of the nation's first central database for the reporting of errors involving linear accelerators and CT scanners. Federal legislation was also introduced in March 2013, which requires certain personnel furnishing medical imaging examinations or radiation therapy to obtain state licensure and certification from certain approved certification organizations, and directs HHS to establish a program for designating and publishing a list of such certification organizations.

        Of our 130 U.S. treatment centers, 96 have received or are in process of receiving ACR accreditation. In addition to a deep physics infrastructure and internal maintenance department, we have recently begun to utilize Gamma Function as a broad application radiation safety monitoring tool to minimize potential errors in our radiation therapy treatments. While we continue to improve upon safety measures aimed at minimizing errors in radiation therapy treatment in accordance with our internal protocols as well as the mandates of organizations like ACR, we cannot assure you that any further critical press and government scrutiny will not adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our financial results could be adversely affected by claims brought against our facilities, the increasing costs of professional liability insurance and by successful malpractice claims.

        We could be subject to litigation relating to our business practices, including claims and legal actions by patients and others in the ordinary course of business alleging malpractice, product liability or other legal theories. We are also exposed to the risk of professional liability and other claims against us and our radiation oncologists and other physicians and professionals arising out of patient medical treatment at our treatment centers. Our risk exposure as it relates to our non-radiation oncology physicians could be greater than with our radiation oncologists to the extent such non-radiation oncology physicians are engaged in diagnostic activities. For a discussion of current pending material litigation against us, see "Business—Legal Proceedings." Malpractice claims, if successful, could result in substantial damage awards which might exceed the limits of any applicable insurance coverage. Insurance against losses of this type can be expensive and insurance premiums may increase in the near future. Insurance rates vary from state to state, by physician specialty and other factors. The rising costs of insurance premiums, as well as successful malpractice claims against us or one of our physicians, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

        It is also possible that our excess liability and other insurance coverage will not continue to be available at acceptable costs or on favorable terms. In addition, our insurance does not cover all potential liabilities arising from governmental fines and penalties, indemnification agreements and certain other uninsurable losses. For example, from time to time we agree to indemnify third parties,

62


Table of Contents

such as hospitals and clinical laboratories, for various claims that may not be covered by insurance. As a result, we may become responsible for substantial damage awards that are uninsured.

        If payment for claims exceed actuarially determined estimates or are not covered by insurance, or if reinsurers, if any, fail to meet their obligations, our results of operations and financial position could be adversely affected.

Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial condition.

        We have $991.7 million of total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2013. Our high level of debt could have adverse effects on our business and financial condition. Specifically, our high level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

    making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt;

    limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements;

    requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes;

    increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete;

    placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and

    increasing our cost of borrowing.

        Our ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance our indebtedness depends on and is subject to our financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond our control, including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our debt, to refinance our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to meet our debt obligations or to fund our other liquidity needs, we will need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, which could cause us to default on our debt obligations and impair our liquidity. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict our business operations.

Despite current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

        We will have the right to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of our Term Facility and our $100 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and together with the Term Facility, the "Credit Facilities") and the indentures governing our notes restrict, but do not in all circumstances, prohibit us from doing so. Under the instruments governing our debt, we are permitted to incur substantial additional debt. Any additional debt may be governed by indentures or other instruments containing covenants that could place restrictions on the operation of our business and the execution of our business strategy in addition to the restrictions on our business already contained in the agreements governing our existing debt. Because any decision to issue debt securities or enter into new debt facilities will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future debt financings and whether we may be required to accept unfavorable terms for any such financings.

Table of Contents

The indentures governing our notes and our Credit Facilities impose significant operating and financial restrictions on our Company and our subsidiaries, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities.

        The indentures governing our notes and our Credit Facilities impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability, among other things, to:

    incur additional indebtedness or enter into sale and leaseback obligations;

    pay certain dividends or make certain distributions on our capital stock or repurchase our capital stock;

    make certain investments or other restricted payments;

    place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us;

    engage in transactions with equityholders or affiliates;

    sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies; and

    create liens.

        As a result of these covenants and restrictions, we will be limited in how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or other financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.

We are indirectly owned and controlled by Vestar and its interests may conflict with yours as a noteholder.

        Vestar indirectly controls approximately 81% of the Class A voting equity units of 21st Century Oncology Investments, LLC "21CI"), which controls us, and which in turn controls our subsidiaries. As a result, they have the power to elect a majority of our board of directors and effectively have control over major decisions regardless of whether noteholders believe that any such decisions are in their own best interests. The interests of Vestar as an equity holder may conflict with the interests of a noteholder. Vestar may have an incentive to increase the value of their investment or cause us to distribute funds at the expense of our financial condition and affect our ability to make payments on the notes. In addition, Vestar may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that it believes could enhance its equity investments even though such transactions might involve risks to you as a noteholder.

Item 1B.    Unresolved Staff Comments

        None

Item 2.    Properties

        Our executive and administrative offices are located in Fort Myers, Florida. These offices contain approximately 79,000 square feet of space. These offices will be adequate for our current primary needs, but we also believe that we will require significant additional space to meet our future needs and such future expansion is in the preliminary stages.

        Our radiation treatment centers typically range in size from 5,000 to 12,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2013 we provided radiation therapy services in 163 treatment centers in 16 states and in Latin America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. We own the real estate on which three of our treatment centers are located. We lease land and space at 152 treatment center locations, of which in 37 of these locations, certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders have an ownership interest. These leases expire at various dates between 2014 and 2044 and 98 of these leases have one or

64


Table of Contents

more renewal options of five or 10 years. Also, eight of our treatment center locations are operated pursuant to professional and other service arrangements. We consider all of our offices and treatment centers to be well-suited to our present requirements. However, as we expand to additional treatment centers, or where additional capacity is necessary in a treatment center, additional space will be obtained where feasible. The following list summarizes the number of radiation treatment centers operated in each state, country, or region:

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

        We are involved in certain legal actions and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that an adverse decision in any of these matters would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        On February 18, 2014, we were served with subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health & Human Services acting with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida who together have requested the production of medical records of patients treated by certain of our physicians for the period from January 2007 to present regarding the ordering, billing and medical necessity of certain laboratory services as part of a civil False Claims Act investigation, as well as our agreements with such physicians. The laboratory services under review relate to the utilization of fluorescence in situ hybridization ("FISH") laboratory tests ordered by certain of our employed physicians and performed by us. We have recorded a liability of approximately $4.7 million that is included in accrued expenses and general and administrative expense in our consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations and comprehensive loss, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. The recorded estimate is based on a probability weighted analysis of the low-end of the range of the liability that considers the facts currently known by us, our review of qualitative and quantitative factors, and our assessment of potential outcomes under different scenarios used to assess our exposure which may be used to determine a potential settlement should we decide not to litigate. Our recording of a liability related to this matter is not an admission of guilt. Depending on how this matter progresses, our exposure may be less than or more than the liability recorded and we will continue to reassess and adjust the liability until this matter is settled. Our estimate of the high-end of the range of exposure is $9.4 million.

        Based on reviews performed to date, we do not believe that we or our physicians knowingly submitted false claims in violation of applicable Medicare statutory or regulatory requirements. We are cooperating fully with the subpoena requests. We believe we have a meritorious position and will vigorously defend any claim that may be asserted against us.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

        On March 1, 2011, 25 shares of common stock of the Company were issued in connection with our acquisition of MDLLC, which we refer to herein as the "MDLLC Acquisition". In addition, the Company's direct parent, 21CI issued 13,660 Preferred Units and 258,955 Class A Units of 21CI as a component of the consideration in the MDLLC Acquisition.

        On August 22, 2013, 3 shares of common stock of the Company were issued in connection with the final payment of the earn-out liability. The earn out payment is contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, is due 18 months subsequent to the transaction closing, and is payable through Company financing and issuance of equity units. In addition, 21CI issued 1,513 Preferred Units and 28,684 Class A Units of 21CI as a component of the consideration of the earn out payment.

        21CI sold equity securities during this period. The number of units of common equity of 21CI issued during 2013 pursuant to the 21CI equity-based incentive plan, as amended were granted under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act.

        On December 9, 2013, 21CI entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "Fourth Amended LLC Agreement") which replaced the Third Amended LLC Agreement in its entirety. The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of incentive equity units (such new units, together with Class MEP Units, as modified under the

67


Table of Contents

Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, the "2013 Plan") in 21CI in the form of Class M Units, Class N Units and Class O Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, eliminated 21CI's Class L Units and Class EMEP Units, and modified the distribution entitlements for holders of each existing class of equity units of 21CI.

Repurchases of Equity Securities

        Neither the Company's nor 21CI repurchased any equity securities during 2013:

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the "Selected Financial Data "and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. We use words such as "expect", "anticipate", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate", "intend", "future" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, statements that we make in this section relating to the sufficiency of anticipated sources of capital to meet our cash requirements are forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including as a result of some of the factors described below and in the section titled "Risk Factors". You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

        We are the leading global, physician-led provider of integrated cancer care ("ICC") services. Our physicians provide comprehensive, academic quality, cost-effective coordinated care for cancer patients in personal and convenient community settings (our "ICC model"). We believe we offer a powerful value proposition to patients, hospital systems, payers and risk-taking physician groups by delivering high quality care and good clinical outcomes at lower overall costs through outpatient settings, clinical excellence, physician coordination and scaled efficiency.

        We operate the largest integrated network of cancer treatment centers and affiliated physicians in the world which, as of December 31, 2013, was comprised of approximately 671 community-based physicians in the fields of radiation oncology, medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. Our physicians provide medical services at approximately 304 locations, including our 163 radiation therapy centers. Of the 163 treatment centers, 38 treatment centers were internally developed and 117 were acquired (including two which were transitioned from professional and other arrangements to freestanding). 41 radiation therapy centers operate in partnership with health systems and other clinics and community-based sites. Our 130 cancer treatment centers in the United States are operated predominantly under the 21st Century Oncology brand and are strategically clustered in 31 local markets in 16 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. Our 33 international treatment centers in Latin America are operated under the 21st Century Oncology brand or a local brand and, in many cases, are operated with local minority partners, including hospitals. We hold market leading positions in the majority of our local markets and continue to expand our affiliation with physician specialties in closely related areas including gynecological, breast and surgical oncology, medical oncology and urology in a number of our local markets to strengthen our clinical working relationships and to evolve from a freestanding radiation oncology centric model to an ICC model.

        We use a number of metrics to assist management in evaluating financial condition and operating performance, and the most important follow:

    the number of Relative Value Units ("RVUs") (a standard measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services) delivered per day in our freestanding centers;

70


Table of Contents

    the percentage change in RVUs per day in our freestanding centers;

    the number of treatments delivered per day in our freestanding centers;

    the average revenue per treatment in our freestanding centers;

    the number and type of radiation oncology cases completed;

    the number of treatments per radiation oncology case completed;

    the revenue per radiation oncology case;

    the ratio of funded debt to pro-forma adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (leverage ratio); and

    facility gross profit.

Revenue Drivers

        Our revenue growth is primarily driven by expanding the number of our centers, optimizing the utilization of advanced technologies at our existing centers and benefiting from demographic and population trends in most of our local markets and by providing value added services to other healthcare and provider organizations. New centers are added or acquired based on capacity, demographics and competitive considerations.

        The average revenue per treatment is sensitive to the mix of services used in treating a patient's tumor. The reimbursement rates set by Medicare and commercial payers tend to be higher for more advanced treatment technologies, reflecting their higher complexity. A key part of our business strategy is to make advanced technologies available once supporting economics exist. For example, we have been utilizing IGRT and Gamma Function, a proprietary capability to enable measurement of the actual amount of radiation delivered during a treatment and to provide immediate feedback for adaption of future treatments as well as for quality assurance, where appropriate, now that reimbursement codes are in place for these services.

Operating Costs

        The principal costs of operating a treatment center are (1) the salary and benefits of the physician and technical staff, and (2) equipment and facility costs. The capacity of each physician and technical position is limited to a number of delivered treatments, while equipment and facility costs for a treatment center are generally fixed. These capacity factors cause profitability to be very sensitive to treatment volume. Profitability will tend to increase as resources from fixed costs including equipment and facility costs are utilized.

Sources of Revenue By Payer

        We receive payments for our services rendered to patients from the government Medicare and Medicaid programs, commercial insurers, managed care organizations and our patients directly. Generally, our revenue is determined by a number of factors, including the payer mix, the number and nature of procedures performed and the rate of payment for the procedures. The following table sets forth the percentage of our net patient service revenue we earned based upon the patients' primary insurance by category of payer in our last three fiscal years.

Medicare and Medicaid

        Medicare is a major funding source for the services we provide and government reimbursement developments can have a material effect on operating performance. These developments include the reimbursement amount for each Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT") service that we provide and the specific CPT services covered by Medicare. CMS, the government agency responsible for administering the Medicare program, administers an annual process for considering changes in reimbursement rates and covered services. We have played, and will continue to play, a role in that process both directly and through the radiation oncology professional societies.

        Since cancer disproportionately affects elderly people, a significant portion of our U.S. net patient service revenue is derived from the Medicare program, as well as related co-payments. Medicare reimbursement rates are determined by CMS and are lower than our normal charges. Medicaid reimbursement rates are typically lower than Medicare rates; Medicaid payments represent approximately 2.7% of our U.S. net patient service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013.

        In the final Medicare 2013 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS reduced payments for radiation oncology by 7%. This reduction related to (1) the fourth year of the four-year transition to the utilization of new PPIS data, (2) a change in equipment interest rate assumptions, (3) budget neutrality effects of a proposal to create a new discharge care management code, (4) input changes for certain radiation therapy procedures, and (5) certain other revised radiation oncology codes. The largest of these changes (accounting for 4% of the gross reduction) reflected the transition of the final 25% of PPIS data used in the PERVU methodology. The change in the CMS interest rate policy (accounting for 3% of the gross reduction) reduced interest rate assumptions in the CMS database from 11% to a sliding scale of 5.5% to 8%. CMS also finalized its proposal to create a HCPCS G-code to describe transition care management from a hospital or other institutional stay to a primary physician in the community (accounting for 1% of the gross reduction). While this policy benefited primary care, non-primary care physicians are negatively impacted due to the budget-neutrality of the Medicare 2013 Physician Fee Schedule. The rule also made adjustments (accounting for 1% of the gross reduction) due to the use of new time of care assumptions for IMRT and SBRT. Although the proposed reductions in time of care assumptions alone would have resulted in a gross 7% reduction to radiation oncology, CMS in its final rule included updated cost data submitted by the radiation oncology community for code inputs which reversed the vast majority of the reduction resulting from the new time of care assumptions. Total gross reductions in the final rule were offset by a 2% increase due to certain other revised radiation oncology codes, which resulted in a total net reduction to radiation oncology of 7%.

        In the proposed Medicare 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS proposed to reduce payments for radiation oncology by 5% overall. This reduction related to a cap on certain radiation oncology services at the hospital outpatient department and ambulatory surgical center's ("OPD/ASC") rate [-4%]; reductions to certain radiation oncology codes due to Medicare Economic Index ("MEI") revisions [-2%]; and offsetting minor increases due to other aspects of the fee schedule [+1%]. Because the cap and MEI policies only applied to freestanding settings, the cut to freestanding centers

would likely have been closer to 8%, while hospital-based radiation oncologists would have received an increase in payment under the proposal. In the final Medicare 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS did not finalize its proposal to cap certain radiation oncology services at the OPD/ASC rate. Although CMS did finalize its proposal to revise the MEI [-2% impact], CMS also incorporated updated relative value units ("RVUs") for new and existing codes [+3% impact] resulting in a net impact of +1% for radiation oncology overall. Because the MEI policy only applies to freestanding settings, the impact to freestanding centers is approximately flat, while hospital-based radiation oncologists would receive an increase in payment under the final rule. CMS noted in the final rule, due to budget neutrality requirements relating to the MEI policy, the 2014 conversion factor was estimated to be $35.6446 (assuming no sustainable growth rate ("SGR") cuts), rather than the 2013 conversion factor of $34.023.

        Medicare reimbursement rates for all procedures under Medicare ultimately are determined by a formula which takes into account a conversion factor ("CF") which is updated on an annual basis based on the SGR. For the last several years, the SGR policy has threatened significant cuts to the CF, although Congress has consistently delayed those cuts. On December 26, 2013 the President signed into law the Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013, which prevented the scheduled SGR payment reduction for physicians from taking effect on January 1, 2014. Instead, the Pathway for SGR Reform Act provided for a 0.5 percent update (to $35.8228) for such services through March 31, 2014. On April 1, 2014, the President signed H.R. 4302, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 which extended the $35.8228 conversion factor through 2014 and also provided for a zero percent update through March 31, 2015. If future SGR reductions are not suspended, and if a permanent "doc fix" is not signed into law, the currently scheduled SGR reimbursement decrease (estimated at more than 20%) will take effect on April 1, 2015.

        In addition, under the Budget Control Act of 2011, Medicare providers are cut under a sequestration process by 2% each year relative to baseline spending through 2021. This policy subsequently was extended through 2024. In the Protecting Access to Medicare Act, the sequestration policy was frontloaded for the year 2024 such that Medicare providers would be cut 4% in the first half of 2024 and 0% in the second half of 2024.

Commercial

        Commercial sources include private health insurance as well as related payments for co-insurance and co-payments. We enter into contracts with private health insurance and other health benefit groups by granting discounts to such organizations in return for the patient volume they provide.

        Most of our commercial revenue is from managed care business and is attributable to contracts where a set fee is negotiated relative to services provided by our treatment centers. We do not have any contracts that individually represent over 10% of our total U.S. net patient service revenue. We receive our managed care contracted revenue under two primary arrangements. Approximately 97% of our managed care business is attributable to contracts where a fee schedule is negotiated for services provided at our treatment centers. For the year ended December 31, 2013 approximately 3% of our U.S. net patient service revenue is attributable to contracts where we bear utilization risk. Although the terms and conditions of our managed care contracts vary considerably, they are typically for a one-year term and provide for automatic renewals. If payments by managed care organizations and other private third-party payers decrease, then our total revenues and net income would decrease.

Self-Pay

        Self-pay consists of payments for treatments by patients not otherwise covered by third-party payers, such as government or commercial sources. Because the incidence of cancer is much higher in those over the age of 65, most of our patients have access to Medicare or other insurance and therefore the self-pay portion of our business is less than it would be in other circumstances. However, we are seeing a general increase in the patient responsibility portion of our claims and revenue.

        We grant a discount on gross charges to self-pay patients not covered under other third party payer arrangements. The discount amounts are excluded from patient service revenue. To the extent that we realize additional losses resulting from nonpayment of the discounted charges, such additional losses are included in the provision for doubtful accounts.

Other Material Factors

        Other material factors that we believe will also impact our future financial performance include:

    patient volume and census;

    continued advances in technology and the related capital requirements;

    continued affiliation with physician specialties other than radiation oncology;

    our ability to develop and conduct business with hospitals and other large healthcare organizations in a manner that adequately and attractively compensates us for our services;

    accounting for business combinations requiring that all acquisition-related costs be expensed as incurred;

    our ability to achieve identified cost savings and operational efficiencies;

    increased costs associated with development and optimization of our internal infrastructure; and

    healthcare reform.

Results of Operations

        The following summary results of operations data are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013

        For the year ended December 31, 2013, our total revenues grew by approximately 6.1%, over the prior year, while our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 grew by approximately 7.6% over the prior year. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we had total revenues of $736.5 million, $694.0 million and $644.7 million, respectively.

        For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, net patient service revenue comprised 97.2%, 98.9% and 99.1%, respectively, of our total revenues. In states where we employ radiation oncologists, we derive our net patient service revenue through fees earned from the provision of the professional and technical component fees of radiation therapy services. In states where we do not employ radiation oncologists, we derive our administrative services fees principally from administrative services agreements with professional corporations. In accordance with ASC 810, we consolidate the operating results of certain of the professional corporations for which we provide administrative services into our own operating results. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, 18.4%, 19.4% and 18.0%, respectively, of our net patient service revenue was generated by professional corporations with which we have administrative services agreements.

        In our net patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, revenue from the professional-only component of radiation therapy and revenue from our ICC physician practices, comprised approximately 29.8%, 28.7%, and 25.8%, respectively, of our total revenues.

        Management fees are recorded at the amount earned by us under the management services agreements. Services rendered by the respective physician groups are billed by us, as the exclusive billing agent of the physician groups, to patients, third-party payors, and others. For the year ended December 31, 2013, management fees comprised 1.5% of our total revenues.

Table of Contents

        For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, other revenue comprised approximately 1.3%, 1.1% and 0.9%, respectively, of our total revenues. Other revenue is primarily derived from management services provided to hospital radiation therapy departments, technical services provided to hospital radiation therapy departments, billing services provided to non-affiliated physicians, gain and losses from sale/disposal of medical equipment, equity interest in net earnings/losses of unconsolidated joint ventures and income for equipment leased by joint venture entities.

        Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.    MDLLC's total revenues increased $9.7 million, or 11.9%, from $81.2 million to $90.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. Total revenue was positively impacted by $0.6 million of revenue from the start-up of a new Center in Argentina in August 2012, growth in treatments and an improvement in treatment mix from our November, 2011 acquisition in Argentina, growth in treatments and overall service mix improvements at our Argentina, El Salvador, and our centers in the Dominican Republic, and improved capitated pricing in Argentina, offset by the impact of a greater depreciation in the Argentine Peso versus the same period in 2012. Case growth increased by 861 or 5.7% during the period. The trend toward more clinically-advanced treatments which require more time to complete continued during the period with an increase in the number of higher-revenue IMRT/IGRT treatments and 3D treatments vs. 2D treatments as compared to the same period in 2012.

        Facility gross profit increased $6.0 million, or 13.8% from $43.5 million to $49.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. Facility-level gross profit as a percentage of total revenues increased to 54.4% from 53.5%. Margin growth resulted from growth in IMRT and 3-D cases, and improved pricing for capitated cases in Argentina, offset by higher depreciation and amortization relating to our continued growth and investment in Latin America, local inflation in Argentina, and higher facility rent expense.

        Medical Developers' total service revenues was $20.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 which represents a $0.5 million or 2.5% increase from the $20.3 million for the same period in 2011. Total revenue was positively impacted by $1.0 million of revenue from the acquisition of four radiation treatment facilities in November 2011 the start-up of a new Center in Argentina during the third quarter, growth in treatments and an improvement in treatment mix in Costa Rica, Mexico and Guatemala, mitigated by a reduction in IMRT treatments in Argentina compared to the same period in 2011 and decreased activity in December due to timing of holidays in many countries where we operate. In addition, we experienced growth in the number of new cases initiated during the quarter by 180, 54% of which pertained to the acquired operations in November 2011. The trend toward more clinically-advanced cases continued during the quarter with an increase in the number of higher-revenue 3D treatments vs. 2D treatments as compared to the same period in 2011.

        Facility gross profit decreased $0.7 million, or 6.2% from $10.9 million to $10.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. Facility-level gross profit as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 53.7% to 49.2%. Lower IMRT cases in Argentina, increases in compensation, facility rent, and incremental depreciation expense relating to our continued growth and investment in Latin America, as well as local inflation was offset by decreases in medical supplies and other operating costs, including lower outsourcing of scans as a result of recent equipment purchases.

        MDLLC's net patient service revenue increased $2.6 million, or 14.7%, from $17.7 million to $20.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Total revenue was positively impacted by $1.0 million of revenue from the acquisition of four radiation treatment facilities in November 2011, and the opening of new treatment centers in San Juan, Argentina and San Salvador, El Salvador in February and March 2011, respectively. The continued ramp-up in operations at our Centro de Radiaciones de La Costa and Centro de Radioterapia Siglo XXI subsidiaries in Argentina which opened in May and July 2010, respectively also favorably impacted revenue growth. In addition, we experienced growth in the number of new cases initiated during the quarter by 233 versus the September quarter and 448 versus the prior year's quarter, of which 250 pertained to the acquired operations in November 2011. The trend toward

more clinically-advanced treatments continued during the quarter with an increase in the number of higher-revenue 3D and IMRT treatments.

        Facility gross profit increased $0.9 million, or 9.0% from $10.0 million to $10.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Facility-level gross profit as a percentage of net patient service revenue decreased to 53.7% from 56.5%, primarily due to an increase in physician compensation, incremental depreciation expense relating to our continued growth and investment in Latin America, facility rent expense and expenses from the outsourcing of scans.

        Revenue from CMS for the 2013 PQRI program decreased approximately $0.6 million and revenues in our existing local markets and practices decreased by approximately $16.3 million. The decrease in revenue in our existing local markets is predominately due to the reductions in RVUs for many of our treatment codes effective with the 2013 Physician Fee Schedule, one less treatment day and treatment declines for prostate cancer as a result of the slowing rate of men diagnosed and referred to treatment regimens, as a result of the Preventative Services Task Force report issued in May 2012 recommending against routine PSA screenings for healthy men, as well as suggested changes in treatment pattern for low risk prostate cancer away from definitive treatment. The decrease was partially offset by increased managed care pricing and organic growth.

Expenses

        Salaries and benefits.    Salaries and benefits increased by $36.7 million, or 9.8%, from $372.7 million in 2012 to $409.4 million in 2013. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of total revenues

80


Table of Contents

increased from 53.7% in 2012 to 55.6% in 2013. Additional staffing of personnel and physicians due to our development and expansion of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island as well as the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing and new local markets during the latter part of 2012 and 2013 contributed $30.8 million to our salaries and benefits. In June 2012, we implemented a new equity-incentive plan, which provided stock compensation of $3.3 million in 2012 as compared to $0.6 million in 2013. For existing practices and centers within our local markets, salaries and benefits increased $8.6 million due increased salaries related to our physician liaison program and the expansion of our senior management team offset by decreases in our compensation arrangements with certain radiation oncologists.

        Medical supplies.    Medical supplies increased by $3.0 million, or 5.0%, from $61.6 million in 2012 to $64.6 million in 2013. Medical supplies as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 8.9% in 2012 to 8.8% in 2013. Medical supplies consist of patient positioning devices, radioactive seed supplies, supplies used for other brachytherapy services, pharmaceuticals used in the delivery of radiation therapy treatments and chemotherapy-related drugs and other medical supplies. Approximately $4.5 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island as well as the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing and new local markets during the latter part of 2012 and 2013. In our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets, medical supplies decreased by approximately $1.5 million as certain chemotherapy drugs are administered through hospital settings under physician practice arrangements. These pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy medical supplies are principally reimbursable by third-party payers.

        Facility rent expenses.    Facility rent expenses increased by $5.8 million, or 14.5%, from $39.8 million in 2012 to $45.6 million in 2013. Facility rent expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 5.7% in 2012 to 6.2% in 2013. Facility rent expenses consist of rent expense associated with our treatment center locations. Approximately $6.0 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island as well as the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing and new local markets during the latter part of 2012 and 2013. In March 2012 we paid approximately $0.4 million to terminate a lease for our Beverly Hills, California office we closed in March 2011. Facility rent expense in our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets increased by approximately $0.1 million.

        Other operating expenses.    Other operating expenses increased by $6.6 million or 17.0%, from $39.0 million in 2012 to $45.6 million in 2013. Other operating expense as a percentage of total revenues increased from 5.6% in 2012 to 6.2% in 2013. Other operating expenses consist of repairs and maintenance of equipment, equipment rental and contract labor. Approximately $4.7 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island as well as the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing and new local markets during the latter part of 2012 and 2013. Approximately $1.8 million relates to equipment rental expense relating to the equipment refinancing closed in September 2012. In our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets other operating expenses increased approximately $0.1 million.

        General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $24.7 million or 30.0%, from $82.2 million in 2012 to $106.9 million in 2013. General and administrative expenses principally consist of professional service fees, consulting, office supplies and expenses, insurance, marketing and travel costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 11.9% in 2012 to 14.5% in 2013. The net increase of $24.7 million in general and administrative expenses was due in part to an increase of approximately $7.9 million

Table of Contents

relating to our development and expansion of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island as well as the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing and new local markets during the latter part of 2012 and 2013. In addition there was an increase of approximately $2.0 million related to expenses for consulting services for the CMS 2013/2014 fee schedule, $11.5 million in diligence costs relating to acquisitions and potential acquisitions of physician practices, $4.7 million relating to an estimated loss contingency reserve, $0.3 million in our rebranding initiatives to 21st Century Oncology trade name, offset by a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in litigation settlements with certain physicians and a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in our remaining practices and treatments centers in our existing local markets.

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.3 million or 0.5%, from $64.9 million in 2012 to $65.2 million in 2013. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 9.4% in 2012 to 8.9% in 2013. The change in depreciation and amortization was due to an increase of approximately $5.6 million relating to our development and expansion of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island as well as the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing and new local markets during the latter part of 2012 and 2013. A decrease of approximately $3.7 million in amortization of our trade name and a decrease of approximately $1.4 million predominately due to the refinancing of certain medical equipment leases with a financial institution in September 2012 classified as prepaid rent. In our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets depreciation and amortization decreased approximately $0.2 million.

        Provision for doubtful accounts.    The provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $4.8 million, or 28.2%, from $16.9 million in 2012 to $12.1 million in 2013. The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 2.4% in 2012 to 1.6% in 2013. We continued to reduce our provision for doubtful accounts as we made progress in improving the overall collection process, including centralization of the prior authorization process, with a standardization process supporting peer to peer justification of medical necessity, improvements in payment posting timeliness, electronic submission of documentation to Medicare carriers, Medicaid eligibility retro scrubbing of self-pay patients, automated insurance rebilling, focused escalation processes for claims in medical review with insurers, collector productivity and quality tracking and monitoring, and improved processes at the treatment centers to collect co-pay amounts at the time of service. These actions have resulted in improved collections and lower bad debt expense as a percentage of total revenues.

        Interest expense, net.    Interest expense, increased by $9.3 million, or 11.9%, from $77.5 million in 2012 to $86.7 million in 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $11.8 million of interest as a result of the Secured Notes issued in May 2012 of approximately $350.0 million, the refinancing of our senior secured credit facility in August 2013, the issuance of $75.0 million in senior secured notes in the OnCure transaction and additional capital lease financing. An increase in the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount of approximately $0.6 million as a result of our refinancing of our senior credit facility in August 2013 and an increase of approximately $0.1 million of interest expense in our international markets, offset by a decrease in our interest rate swap expense of approximately $2.8 million and the write- off of loan costs of approximately $0.5 million in May 2012.

        Electronic health records incentive income.    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for incentive payments for Medicare eligible professionals who are meaningful users of certified EHR technology. We account for EHR incentive payments utilizing the gain contingency model. Pursuant to the gain contingency model, we recognize EHR incentive payments when the specified meaningful use criteria have been satisfied, as all contingencies in estimating the amount of the incentive payments to be received are resolved. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 we recognized approximately $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively of EHR revenues.

        Gain on the sale of an interest in a joint venture.    In June 2013, we sold our 45% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which operated a radiation treatment center in Providence, Rhode Island in partnership with a hospital to provide stereotactic radio-surgery through the use of a cyberknife for approximately $1.5 million, and recorded a respective gain on the sale.

        Loss on sale leaseback transaction.    In December 2013, the Company entered into a sale leaseback transaction with two financial institutions. The sale leaseback transaction related to medical equipment. Proceeds from the sale were approximately $18.4 million. The Company recorded a loss on the sale leaseback transaction of approximately $0.3 million.

        Early extinguishment of debt.    We incurred approximately $4.5 million from the early extinguishment of debt as a result of the prepayment of the $265.4 million senior secured credit facility—Term Loan B and prepayment of $63.0 million senior secured credit facility—revolving credit portion, which included the write-offs of $3.7 million in deferred financing costs and $0.8 million in original issue discount costs.

        Fair value adjustment of earn-out liability.    On March 1, 2011, we purchased the remaining 67% interest in MDLLC from Bernardo Dosoretz as well as interests in the subsidiaries of MDLLC from Alejandro Dosoretz and Bernardo Dosoretz, resulting in an ownership interest of approximately 91% in the underlying radiation oncology practices located in South America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. We also purchased an additional 61% interest in Clinica de Radioterapia La Asuncion S.A. from Bernardo Dosoretz, resulting in an ownership interest of 80%. The Company recorded an estimated contingent earn out payment totaling $2.3 million at the time of the closing of these acquisitions. The earn out payment is contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, is due 18 months subsequent to the transaction closing, and is payable through Company financing and issuance of equity units. At December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair value of the contingent earn out liability and increased the liability due to the seller to approximately $3.4 million. We recorded the $1.0 million to expense in the fair value adjustment caption in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        On November 4, 2011, we purchased an 80% interest in an operating entity, which operates 1 radiation treatment center in Argentina; an 80% interest in another operating entity, which operates 3 radiation treatment centers in Argentina; and a 96% interest in an operating entity, which operates 1 radiation treatment center in Argentina. In November 2012, we exercised our purchase option to purchase the remaining interest for approximately $1.4 million and recorded the adjustment of $0.2 million to the purchase option as an expense in the fair value adjustment of the noncontrolling interests-redeemable in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings from our senior secured credit facility and the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The $7.5 million subject to escrow arrangements was recorded as an earn out payment contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, and is due and payable on December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2013, we estimated the fair value of the contingent earn out liability and increased the liability due to the holders to approximately $7.6 million. We recorded the $0.1 million to expense in the fair value adjustment caption in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        Impairment loss.    During the third quarter of 2012, we completed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of our review of growth expectations and the release of the final rule issued on the physician fee schedule for 2013 by CMS on November 1, 2012, which included certain rate reductions on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology

providers as well as the changes in treatment patterns and volumes in prostate cancer as a result of the slowing rate of men diagnosed and referred to treatment regimens, as a result of the Preventative Services Task Force report issued in May 2012 recommending against routine PSA screenings for healthy men, as well as suggested changes in treatment pattern for low risk prostate cancer away from definitive treatment. In performing this test, we assessed the implied fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $69.9 million during the third quarter of 2012 primarily relating to goodwill impairment in certain of our reporting units, including Mid East United States (Northwest Florida, North Carolina, Southeast Alabama, South Carolina), Central South East United States (Delmarva Peninsula, Central Maryland, Central Kentucky, South New Jersey), California, South West United States (central Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada), and Southwest Florida of approximately $69.8 million. In addition, during the third quarter of 2012, an impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million was recognized related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements of a planned radiation treatment facility office relocation in Monroe, Michigan in the Northeast U.S. region.

        During the fourth quarter of 2012, we completed our annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In performing this test, we assessed the implied fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $11.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily relating to goodwill impairment in certain of our reporting units, including Central South East United States (Delmarva Peninsula, Central Maryland, Central Kentucky, South New Jersey), and Southwest Florida of approximately $10.8 million. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2012, an impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million was recognized related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements in the Delmarva Peninsula local market and approximately $0.2 million related to a consolidated joint venture in the Central Maryland local market.

        Loss on foreign currency derivative contracts.    We are exposed to a significant amount of foreign exchange risk, primarily between the U.S. dollar and the Argentine Peso. This exposure relates to the provision of radiation oncology services to patients at our Latin American operations and purchases of goods and services in foreign currencies. We maintain foreign currency derivative contracts which mature on a quarterly basis. In 2013 and 2012, the expiration of the December 31, 2013 foreign currency derivative contract and the mark to market valuation of the remaining contracts resulted in a loss of approximately $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

        Income taxes.    Our effective tax rate was 20.8% in fiscal 2013 and (3.1)% in fiscal 2012. The change in the effective rate in 2013 compared to the same period of the year prior is primarily due to the favorable effect of the OnCure purchase price adjustments on the valuation allowance booked against our net deferred tax assets. The fiscal year 2012 tax rate was also impacted by the income tax benefit associated with the termination of the interest rate swap in the first quarter and by the recording of a noncash impairment charge relating to goodwill in the U.S. domestic reporting segment of $80.7 million. As a result, on an absolute dollar basis, the expense for income taxes changed by $24.9 million from the income tax expense of $4.5 million in 2012 to an income tax benefit of $20.4 million in 2013.

        Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. We monitor the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and make adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating our annual effective tax rates, future income tax expense (benefit) could be materially affected.

        In addition, we are periodically under audit by federal, state, or local authorities in the areas of income taxes and other taxes. These audits include questioning the timing and amount of deductions and compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse

84


Table of Contents

outcomes from these audits to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.

        Net loss.    Net loss decreased by $72.9 million, from $151.1 million in net loss in 2012 to $78.2 million net loss in 2013. Net loss represents 21.9% of total revenues in 2012 and 10.7% of total revenues in 2013.

Revenues

        Total revenues.    Total revenues increased by $49.3 million, or 7.6%, from $644.7 million in 2011 to $694.0 million in 2012. Total revenue was positively impacted by $80.2 million due to our expansion into new practices and treatments centers in existing local markets and new local markets during 2011 and 2012 through the acquisition of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the acquisition of physician radiation practices in California, Florida, North Carolina and the acquisition of 30 physician practices in Latin America, Central America and the Caribbean, the opening of two de novo centers and an outpatient radiation therapy management services agreement with a medical group to manage its radiation oncology treatment site and two hospital professional services arrangements transitioned to freestanding as follows:

        Revenue from CMS for the 2012 PQRI program decreased approximately $1.3 million and revenues in our existing local markets and practices decreased by approximately $29.6 million, including a $5.2 million reduction relating to non-renewal of the capitated contracts in our Las Vegas, Nevada market. The decrease in revenue in our existing local markets is predominately due to the reductions in RVUs for many of our treatment codes effective with the 2012 physician fee schedule and treatment declines for prostate cancer as a result of the slowing rate of men diagnosed and referred to treatment regimens, as a result of the Preventative Services Task Force report issued in May 2012 recommending against routine PSA screenings for healthy men, as well as suggested changes in treatment pattern for low risk prostate cancer away from definitive treatment. The decrease was partially offset by increased managed care pricing and organic growth. We continue to see stable patient volumes for the period and our percentage increase in treatments per day at our freestanding centers on a same practice basis (excluding the impact of the termination of a capitated contract in Las Vegas, Nevada) was 2.0%.

Additional staffing of personnel and physicians due to our development and expansion in urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina, the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2011 and 2012, and the expansion into a new region internationally in 2011 contributed $44.3 million to our salaries and benefits. In June 2012, we implemented a new equity-incentive plan, which increased stock compensation by approximately $1.8 million. For existing practices and centers within our local markets, salaries and benefits decreased $0.2 million due to decreases in our compensation arrangements with certain radiation oncologists offset by increased salaries related to our physician liaison program and the expansion of our senior management team.

        Medical supplies.    Medical supplies increased by $9.8 million, or 18.8%, from $51.8 million in 2011 to $61.6 million in 2012.

Medical supplies consist of chemotherapy-related drugs and other medical supplies, patient positioning devices, radioactive seed supplies, supplies used for other brachytherapy services, pharmaceuticals used in the delivery of radiation therapy treatments. Approximately $8.0 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion in urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina, the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2011 and 2012, and the expansion into a new region internationally in 2011. In our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets, medical supplies increased by approximately $1.8 million as we continue to see stable patient volumes and treatment counts in our existing local markets. These pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy medical supplies are principally reimbursable by third-party payers.

        Facility rent expenses.    Facility rent expenses increased by $6.4 million, or 19.3%, from $33.4 million in 2011 to $39.8 million in 2012. Facility rent expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 5.2% in 2011 to 5.7% in 2012. Facility rent expenses consist of rent expense associated with our treatment center locations. Approximately $5.7 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion in urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina, the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2011 and 2012, and the expansion into a new region internationally in 2011. In March 2012 we paid approximately $0.4 million to terminate a lease for our Beverly Hills, California office we closed in March 2011. Facility rent expense in our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets increased by approximately $0.3 million.

        Other operating expenses.    Other operating expenses increased by $5.0 million or 14.7%, from $34.0 million in 2011 to $39.0 million in 2012.

        General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million or 0.7%, from $81.7 million in 2011 to $82.2 million in 2012. General and administrative expenses principally consist of professional service fees, office supplies and expenses, insurance and travel costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 12.7% in 2011

86


Table of Contents

to 11.9% in 2012. The increase of $0.5 million in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase of approximately $6.3 million relating to our development and expansion in urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina, the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2011 and 2012, and the expansion into a new region internationally in 2011. In addition there was an increase of approximately $0.8 million related to expenses for consulting services for the CMS 2013 preliminary physician fee schedule, an increase of approximately $0.9 million in litigation settlements with certain physicians, offset by a decrease of approximately $2.4 million in diligence costs relating to acquisitions and potential acquisitions of physician practices, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million associated with improvements in our income tax provision process and a decrease of approximately $4.8 million in our remaining practices and treatments centers in our existing local markets.

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization increased by $10.8 million, or 20.0%, from $54.1 million in 2011 to $64.9 million in 2012. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues increased from 8.4% in 2011 to 9.4% in 2012. The increase of $10.8 million in depreciation and amortization was due to an increase of approximately $4.9 million relating to our development and expansion in urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina, the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2011 and 2012, and the expansion into a new region internationally in 2011. An increase in capital expenditures related to our investment in advanced radiation treatment technologies increased our depreciation and amortization by approximately $3.3 million and $2.8 million increase due to the amortization of our trade name offset by a decrease of approximately $0.2 million predominately due to the expiration of certain non-compete agreements.

        Provision for doubtful accounts.    The provision for doubtful accounts increased by $0.8 million, or 5.0%, from $16.1 million in 2011 to $16.9 million in 2012. The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 2.5% in 2011 to 2.4% in 2012. In 2012 we reduced our provision for doubtful accounts as we made progress in improving the overall collection process, including centralization of the prior authorization process, with standardization process supporting peer to peer justification of medical necessity, improvements in payment posting timeliness, electronic submission of documentation to Medicare carriers, Medicaid eligibility retro scrubbing of self pay patients, automated insurance rebilling, focused escalation process for claims in Medical Review with insurers, collector productivity and quality tracking and monitoring, and improved processes at the treatment centers to collect co-pay amounts at the time of service. These actions have resulted in improved collections and lower bad debt expense as a percentage of total revenues in 2012.

        Interest expense, net.    Interest expense, increased by $16.8 million, or 27.8%, from $60.7 million in 2011 to $77.5 million in 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $14.7 million of interest as a result the additional senior subordinated notes issued in March 2011 of approximately $50.0 million, the issuance of the senior secured second lien notes issued in May 2012 of approximately $350.0 million and additional capital lease financing and the additional amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount costs of approximately $0.9 million related thereto, the write-off of loan costs of approximately $0.5 million and approximately $1.1 million of interest related to international debt, offset by a decrease in our interest rate swap expense of approximately $0.4 million.

        Electronic health records incentive income.    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for incentive payments for Medicare eligible professionals who are meaningful users of certified EHR technology. We account for EHR incentive payments utilizing the gain contingency model. Pursuant to the gain contingency model, we recognize EHR incentive payments when the specified meaningful use criteria have been satisfied, as all contingencies in estimating the amount of the incentive payments to be received are resolved. For the year ended December 31, 2012 we recognized approximately $2.3 million of EHR revenues.

        Early extinguishment of debt.    We incurred approximately $4.5 million from the early extinguishment of debt as a result of the prepayment of the $265.4 million in senior secured credit facility—Term Loan B and prepayment of $63.0 million in senior secured credit facility—Revolving credit portion, which included the write-offs of $3.7 million in deferred financing costs and $0.8 million in original issue discount costs.

        Fair value adjustment of earn-out liability and noncontrolling interests-redeemable.    On March 1, 2011, we purchased the remaining 67% interest in MDLLC from Bernardo Dosoretz as well as interests in the subsidiaries of MDLLC from Alejandro Dosoretz and Bernardo Dosoretz, resulting in an ownership interest of approximately 91% in the underlying radiation oncology practices located in South America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. We also purchased an additional 61% interest in Clinica de Radioterapia La Asuncion S.A. from Bernardo Dosoretz, resulting in an ownership interest of 80%. The Company recorded an estimated contingent earn out payment totaling $2.3 million at the time of the closing of these acquisitions. The earn out payment is contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, is due 18 months subsequent to the transaction closing, and is payable through Company financing and issuance of equity units. At December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair value of the contingent earn out liability and increased the liability due to the seller to approximately $3.4 million. We recorded the $1.0 million to expense in the fair value adjustment caption in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        On November 4, 2011, we purchased an 80% interest in an operating entity, which operates 1 radiation treatment center in Argentina; an 80% interest in another operating entity, which operates 3 radiation treatment centers in Argentina; and a 96% interest in an operating entity, which operates 1 radiation treatment center in Argentina. In November 2012, we exercised our purchase option to purchase the remaining interest for approximately $1.4 million and recorded the adjustment of $0.2 million to the purchase option as an expense in the fair value adjustment of the noncontrolling interests-redeemable in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        Impairment loss.    During the third quarter of 2012, we completed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of our review of growth expectations and the release of the final rule issued on the physician fee schedule for 2013 by CMS on November 1, 2012, which included certain rate reductions on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers as well as the changes in treatment patterns and volumes in prostate cancer as a result of the slowing rate of men diagnosed and referred to treatment regimens, as a result of the Preventative Services Task Force report issued in May 2012 recommending against routine PSA screenings for healthy men, as well as suggested changes in treatment pattern for low risk prostate cancer away from definitive treatment. In performing this test, we assessed the implied fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $69.9 million during the third quarter of 2012 primarily relating to goodwill impairment in certain of our reporting units, including Mid East United States (Northwest Florida, North Carolina, Southeast Alabama, South Carolina), Central South East United States (Delmarva Peninsula, Central Maryland, Central Kentucky, South New Jersey), California, South West United States (central Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada), and Southwest Florida of approximately $69.8 million. In addition, during the third quarter of 2012, an impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million was recognized related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements of a planned radiation treatment facility office relocation in Monroe, Michigan in the Northeast U.S. region.

        During the fourth quarter of 2012, we completed our annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In performing this test, we assessed the implied fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $11.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily relating to goodwill impairment in certain of our reporting units, including Central South East United States (Delmarva Peninsula, Central

88

Maryland, Central Kentucky, South New Jersey), and Southwest Florida of approximately $10.8 million. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2012, an impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million was recognized related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements in the Delmarva Peninsula local market and approximately $0.2 million related to a consolidated joint venture in the Central Maryland local market.

        During the third quarter of 2011, we completed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of our review of growth expectations and the release of the final rule issued on the physician fee schedule for 2012 by CMS on November 1, 2011, which included certain rate reductions on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers. In performing this test, we assessed the implied fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets. As a result, we incurred an impairment loss of approximately $237.6 million in 2011 primarily relating to goodwill and trade name impairment in certain of our reporting units, including North East United States (New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeast Michigan), California, Southwest U.S. (Arizona and Nevada) , the Florida east coast, Northwest Florida and Southwest Florida of approximately $234.9 million and an impairment loss incurred of approximately $2.7 million in 2011 related to our write-off of our 45% investment interest in a radio-surgery center in Rhode Island due to continued operating losses since its inception in 2008.

        During the fourth quarter of 2011, we decided to rebrand our current trade name of 21st Century Oncology. As a result of the rebranding initiative and concurrent with our annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, we incurred an impairment loss of approximately $121.6 million. Approximately $49.8 million of the $121.6 million related to the trade name impairment as a result of our rebranding initiative. The remaining $71.8 million of impairment related to goodwill in certain of our reporting units, including North East United States (New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeast Michigan), California and Southwest U.S. (Arizona and Nevada). The remaining domestic U.S. trade name of approximately $4.6 million will be amortized over its remaining useful life through December 31, 2012. We incurred approximately $0.9 million in amortization expense during the fourth quarter. In addition, we impaired certain deposits on equipment of approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million in leasehold improvements relating to a planned radiation treatment facility office closing in Baltimore, Maryland.

        Loss on investments.    During the fourth quarter of 2011, we incurred a loss on our 50% investment in an unconsolidated joint venture in a freestanding radiation facility in West Palm Beach, Florida of approximately $0.5 million. The loss on our investment in the joint venture was offset by a gain on the sale of an investment in a primary care physician practice of approximately $0.3 million. Proceeds from the sale of the investment was approximately $1.0 million.

        Gain on fair value adjustment of previously held equity investment.    As result of the acquisition of MDLLC, in which we acquired an effective ownership interest of approximately 91.0% on March 1, 2011, we recorded a gain of approximately $0.2 million to adjust our initial investment in the joint venture to fair value.

        Loss on foreign currency derivative contracts.    We are exposed to a significant amount of foreign exchange risk, primarily between the U.S. dollar and the Argentine Peso. This exposure relates to the provision of radiation oncology services to patients at our Latin American operations and purchases of goods and services in foreign currencies. We maintain four foreign currency derivative contracts which mature on a quarterly basis. In 2012 and 2011, the expiration of the December 28, 2012 foreign currency derivative contract and the mark to market valuation of the remaining contracts resulted in a loss of approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

        Income taxes.    Our effective tax rate was (3.1)% in fiscal 2012 and 6.8% in fiscal 2011. The change in the effective rate in 2012 compared to the same period of the year prior is primarily the result of the reduction of the deferred tax liability on the amount of goodwill and trade name impaired in the third

quarter of 2011, the 2012 benefit related to the termination of the interest rate swap, the 2012 accrual of US Federal penalties and interest proposed by the IRS related to the 2007-2008 examination, the 2011 benefit for the release of certain state reserves, our application of ASC 740-270 to exclude certain jurisdictions (U.S. and certain states) for which we are unable to benefit from losses that are not more likely than not to be realized and the mix of earnings and tax rates across various tax jurisdictions. As a result, on an absolute dollar basis, the expense for income taxes changed by $29.9 million from the income tax benefit of $25.4 million in 2011 to an income tax expense of $4.5 million in 2012.

        Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. We monitor the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and make adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating our annual effective tax rates, future income tax expense (benefit) could be materially affected.

        In addition, we are periodically under audit by federal, state, or local authorities in the areas of income taxes and other taxes. These audits include questioning the timing and amount of deductions and compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these audits to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.

        Net loss.    Net loss decreased by $198.8 million, from $349.9 million in net loss in 2011 to $151.1 million net loss in 2012. Net loss represents 54.3% of total revenues in 2011 and 21.9% of total revenues in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        We are highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2013, we had $1.0 billion of long-term debt and other long-term liabilities outstanding. Over the next year, the interest and principal payments due under our various debt agreements are approximately $95.3 million and $17.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, we have $45.7 million, available on our revolving credit facility.

        Our high level of debt could have adverse effects on our business and financial condition. Specifically, our high level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

    making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt;

    limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements;

    requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes;

    increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete;

    placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and

    increasing our cost of borrowing.

    Our ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance our indebtedness depends on and is subject to our financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond our control, including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets.

        We have several initiatives designed to increase revenue and profitability through strategic acquisitions, improvements in commercial payer contracting, development and expansion of our integrated cancer care model, and realignment of physician compensation arrangements.

        Although we are significantly leveraged, we expect that the current cash balances, liquidity from our revolver, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet working capital, capital expenditure, debt service, and other cash needs for the next year; however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our operations and service our debt for the next year.

        Our principal capital requirements are for working capital, acquisitions, medical equipment replacement and expansion and de novo treatment center development. Working capital and medical equipment are funded through cash from operations, supplemented, as needed, by lease lines of credit. Borrowings under these lease lines of credit are recorded on our balance sheets. The construction of de novo treatment centers is funded directly by third parties and then leased to us. We finance our operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions through a combination of borrowings and cash generated from operations.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 was $44.8 million, $16.1 million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $11.6 million.

        Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $27.7 million from $16.1 million in cash provided by operating activities in 2012 to $11.6 million in cash used in operating activities in 2013 predominately due to a decrease in cash flow due to the reductions in RVUs for many of our treatment codes effective with the 2013 physician fee schedule and increased interest costs. On May 10, 2012, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 87/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017. We used the proceeds to repay our existing senior secured revolving credit facility and the Term Loan B portion of our senior secured credit facilities, which were prepaid in their entirety, cancelled and replaced with the new Revolving Credit Facility, and to pay related fees and expenses. We continue to see improvements in our cash collections from our accounts receivable with our days sales outstanding improving from 34 days to 31 days.

        Cash at December 31, 2013 held by our foreign subsidiaries was $3.6 million. We consider these cash flows to be permanently invested in our foreign subsidiaries and therefore do not anticipate repatriating any excess cash flows to the U.S. We anticipate we can adequately fund our domestic operations from cash flows generated solely from our U.S. business. We believe that the magnitude of our growth opportunities outside of the U.S. will cause us to continuously reinvest foreign earnings. We do not require access to the earnings and cash flow of our international subsidiaries to fund our U.S. operations.

        Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $28.7 million from $44.8 million in 2011 to $16.1 million in 2012 predominately due to increased interest costs. In March 2011, we issued $50.0 million in senior subordinated notes due 2017 and $16.25 million senior subordinated notes due to the seller in the MDLLC transaction. In 2012 and 2011, we wrote-off approximately $81.0 million and $360.6 million, respectively in goodwill, trade name and other investments as a result of our interim testing of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We continue to see improvements in our cash collections from our accounts receivable with our days sales outstanding improving from 39 days to 34 days.

        Cash at December 31, 2012 held by our foreign operating subsidiaries was $4.6 million. We consider these cash flows to be permanently invested in our foreign operating subsidiaries and therefore do not anticipate repatriating any excess cash flows to the U.S. We anticipate we can adequately fund our domestic operations from cash flows generated solely from our U.S. business. Of the $4.6 million of cash held by our foreign operating subsidiaries at December 31, 2012, $0.4 million is held in U.S. dollars, $0.4 million of which is held at banks in the United States, with the remaining held in foreign currencies in foreign banks. We believe that the magnitude of our growth opportunities outside of the U.S. will cause us to continuously reinvest foreign earnings. We do not require access to the earnings and cash flow of our international subsidiaries to fund our U.S. operations.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities for 2011, 2012, and 2013 was $96.8 million, $57.3 million, and $118.0 million, respectively.

        Net cash used in investing activities increased by $60.7 million from $57.3 million in 2012 to $118.0 million in 2013. In 2013, net cash used in investing activities was impacted by approximately $0.8 million in cash paid for the assets of several physician practices in Arizona, New Jersey and North Carolina, and approximately $17.7 million in cash paid for the assets of five radiation oncology practices and a urology group located in Lee and Collier Counties in Southwest Florida in May 2013. In June 2013, we contributed our Casa Grande, Arizona radiation physician practice and approximately $5.0 million to purchase a 55.0% interest in a joint venture. In June 2013, we entered into a "stalking horse" investment agreement to acquire OnCure Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "OnCure") upon effectiveness of its plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code for approximately $125.0 million, (excluding capital leases, working capital and other adjustments). The purchase price included $42.5 million in cash and up to $82.5 million in assumed debt ($7.5 million of assumed debt will be released assuming certain OnCure centers achieve a minimum level of EBITDA). We funded an initial deposit of approximately $5.0 million into an escrow account subject to the working capital adjustments.

        On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings from our senior secured credit facility and the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

        In 2013, net cash used in investing activities was impacted by approximately $0.5 million in contribution of capital to an unconsolidated joint venture. In June 2013, we sold our 45% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which operated a radiation treatment center in Providence, Rhode Island for approximately $1.5 million. In July 2013, we purchased the remaining 38.0% interest in a joint venture radiation facility, located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island from a hospital partner for approximately $1.5 million. In July 2013 we purchased a company, which operates a radiation treatment center in Tijuana, Mexico for approximately $1.6 million. In October 2013 we purchase a radiation therapy treatment center in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina for approximately $2.2 million. During 2013, we entered into foreign exchange option contracts expiring in March 2014 to convert a significant portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated net income into U.S. dollars to limit the adverse impact of a weakening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar. The cost of the option contracts, were approximately $0.2 million.

        Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $39.5 million from $96.8 million in 2011 to $57.3 million in 2012. In 2012, net cash used in investing activities was impacted by approximately $0.9 million in cash paid for the assets of a radiation oncology practice and a medical oncology group located in Asheville, North Carolina in February 2012 and approximately $21.9 million in cash paid for the assets of a radiation oncology practice and two urology groups located in Sarasota/Manatee

counties in Southwest Florida in March 2012 and the purchase of affiliated integrated cancer care physician practices of approximately $1.7 million. In April 2012 we acquired certain assets utilized in one of the radiation treatment centers acquired in December 2011 located in North Carolina, which operates two radiation treatment centers for approximately $0.4 million. In December 2012, we purchased the remaining 50% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which operates a freestanding radiation treatment center in West Palm Beach, Florida for approximately $1.0 million. On November 4, 2011, we purchased an 80% interest in an operating entity, which operates 1 radiation treatment center in Argentina; an 80% interest in another operating entity, which operates 3 radiation treatment centers in Argentina; and a 96% interest in an operating entity, which operates 1 radiation treatment center in Argentina. In November 2012, we exercised our purchase option to purchase the remaining interest for approximately $1.4 million. During 2012, we entered into foreign exchange option contracts expiring December 2013 to convert a significant portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated net income into U.S. dollars to limit the adverse impact of a weakening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar. The cost of the option contracts, were approximately $0.7 million. Purchases of property and equipment decreased by $5.9 million from $36.6 million in 2011 to $30.7 million in 2012, as we continue to manage our capital expenditures.

        Historically, our capital expenditures have been primarily for equipment, leasehold improvements and information technology equipment. Total capital expenditures, inclusive of amounts financed through capital lease arrangements, outstanding accounts payable relating to the acceptance and delivery of medical equipment and exclusive of the purchase of radiation treatment centers, were $41.3 million, $38.0 million and $43.8 million in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Historically, we have funded our capital expenditures with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities and borrowings under lease lines of credit.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

        Net cash provided by financing activities for 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $48.2 million, $46.4 million and $131.6 million, respectively.

        On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction included the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest is payable on the Secured Notes on each January 15 and July 15, commencing July 15, 2014.

        On August 28, 2013, we entered into an Amendment Agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") to the credit agreement among us, 21C, the institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, the Administrative Agent named therein and the other agents and arrangers named therein, dated as of May 10, 2012 (the "Original Credit Agreement" and, as amended and restated by the Amendment Agreement, the "Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment Agreement the amendments to the Original Credit Agreement became effective on August 29, 2013.

        The Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a $90 million term loan facility (the "Term Facility") and (ii) a revolving credit facility provided for up to $100 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit) (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and together with the Term Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). The Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each have a maturity date of October 15, 2016.

        As a result of the Amendment Agreement, the proceeds of $87.75 million (net of original issue discount of $2.25 million) from the term loan facility was used to pay down approximately $62.5 million in revolver loans and accrued interest and fees of approximately $0.4 million. We incurred approximately $1.4 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses in connection with the amendment agreement.

        We had partnership distributions from non-controlling interests of approximately $3.9 million and $2.2 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

        On May 10, 2012, we completed an offering of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 87/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017, with an original issue discount of $1.7 million. The proceeds of $348.3 million was used to prepay and cancel $265.4 million in senior secured credit facility—Term Loan B, prepayment of $63.0 million in senior secured credit facility—revolving credit portion and payment of accrued interest and fees of approximately $0.8 million. In addition, we paid approximately $14.4 million of loan costs relating to transaction fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the 87/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes and a new revolving credit facility. The remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

        On March 1, 2011, we issued $50 million of 97/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 pursuant to a Commitment Letter from DDJ Capital Management, LLC. The proceeds of $48.5 million were used (i) to fund the MDLLC acquisition and (ii) to fund transaction costs associated with the MDLLC Acquisition. We incurred approximately $1.6 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses in connection with the new notes, and an initial purchasers' discount of $0.6 million. On April 1, 2011 we received approximately $6.7 million in capital lease financing from a financial institution to fund previously purchased medical equipment. The terms of the capital lease financing are for five years at an average interest rate of approximately 8%. We also had partnership distributions from non-controlling interests of approximately $4.4 million and $3.9 million in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

        In November 2011, we registered approximately $16.25 million in notes and incurred approximately $0.2 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses.

Senior Subordinated Notes

        On April 20, 2010, we consummated a debt offering in an aggregate principal amount of $310.0 million of 97/8% senior subordinated notes due 2017, and repaid our existing $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount 13.5% senior subordinated notes due 2015, including accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $6.4 million and the call premium of approximately $5.3 million. The remaining proceeds from the Offering were used to pay down $74.8 million of the Term Loan B and $10.0 million of our revolving credit facility. A portion of the proceeds was placed in a restricted account pending application to finance certain acquisitions, including the acquisitions of a radiation treatment center and physician practices in South Carolina, which were consummated on May 3, 2010. We incurred approximately $11.9 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses in connection with the Offering, including the initial purchasers' discount of $1.9 million.

        In April 2010, we incurred approximately $10.9 million in early extinguishment of debt as a result of the prepayment of the $175.0 million in senior subordinated notes, which included the call premium payment of approximately $5.3 million, the write-offs of $2.5 million in deferred financing costs and $3.1 million in original issue discount costs.

        On April 22, 2010, affiliates of certain of the initial purchasers of the $310.0 million in aggregate principal amount 97/8% senior subordinated notes due 2017, as lenders under our senior secured revolving credit facility, provided an additional $15.0 million of commitments to the revolving credit portion of our senior secured credit facility increasing the available commitment from $60.0 million to $75.0 million.

        On May 10, 2012, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 87/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017 (the "Secured Notes").

        The Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated May 10, 2012 (the "Secured Notes Indenture"), the Company, the guarantors signatory thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association. The Secured Notes are senior secured second lien obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by the Company, and each of our domestic subsidiaries to the extent such guarantor is a guarantor of the Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

        The Secured Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability for us, and certain of our subsidiaries to incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make other restricted payments; incur liens; redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the Secured Notes; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; enter into mergers or consolidations; and enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, in certain circumstances, if the Company sells assets or experiences certain changes of control, it must offer to purchase the Secured Notes.

        We used the proceeds to repay our existing senior secured revolving credit facility and the Term Loan B portion of our senior secured credit facilities, which were prepaid in their entirety, cancelled and replaced with the new Revolving Credit Facility described below, and to pay related fees and expenses. Any remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

Senior Secured Notes

        On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction included the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure (the "OnCure Notes"), which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The OnCure Notes were issued pursuant to an Amended and Restated Indenture (the "OnCure Indenture") of OnCure, with OnCure, as issuer, the subsidiaries of OnCure named therein, as guarantors, the Company, 21C and the subsidiaries of the Company and 21C named therein, as guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. The OnCure Notes are senior secured obligations of OnCure and certain of its subsidiaries that guarantee the OnCure Notes and senior unsecured obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the OnCure Notes.

        The OnCure Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of OnCure, certain of its subsidiaries, the Company, 21C and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make other restricted payments; incur liens; redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the OnCure Notes; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; enter into mergers or consolidations; and enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, in certain circumstances, if OnCure or the

Company sell assets or experience certain changes of control, they must offer to purchase the OnCure Notes.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

        On May 10, 2012, we also entered into the Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among 21C, as borrower, the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"), collateral agent, issuing bank and as swingline lender, the other agents party thereto and the lenders party thereto. On August 28, 2013, we entered into the Amendment Agreement to the credit agreement among the Company, 21C, the institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, the Administrative Agent named therein and the other agents and arrangers named therein, dated as of May 10, 2012 (the "Original Credit Agreement" and, as amended and restated by the Amendment Agreement, the "Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment Agreement the amendments to the Original Credit Agreement became effective on August 29, 2013.

        The Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a $90 million term loan facility (the "Term Facility") and (ii) a revolving credit facility provided for up to $100 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit) (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and together with the Term Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). The Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each have a maturity date of October 15, 2016.

        Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Facility are subject to the following interest rates:

            (a)   for loans which are Eurodollar loans, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a floating index rate per annum equal to (A) the rate per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in dollars for a period equal to such interest period commencing on the first day of such interest period appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, two business days prior to the beginning of such interest period divided by (B) 1.0 minus the then stated maximum rate of all reserve requirements applicable to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System in respect of liability funding or liabilities as defined in Regulation D (or any successor category of liabilities under Regulation D) (provided that solely with respect to loans under the Term Facility, such floating index rate shall not be less than 1.00% per annum), plus (ii) an applicable margin (A) based upon a total leverage pricing grid for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or (B) equal to 6.50% per annum for loans under the Term Facility; and

            (b)   for loans which are base rate loans, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a floating index rate per annum equal to the greatest of (A) the Administrative Agent's prime lending rate at such time, (B) the overnight federal funds rate at such time plus 1/2 of 1%, and (C) the Eurodollar Rate for a Eurodollar loan with a one-month interest period commencing on such day plus 1.00% (provided that solely with respect to loans under the Term Facility, such floating index rate shall not be less than 2.00% per annum), plus (ii) an applicable margin (A) based upon a total leverage pricing grid for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or (B) equal to 5.50% per annum for loans under the Term Facility.

        We will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the Credit Facilities, including (i) fees on the unused commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) letter of credit fees on the aggregate face amounts of outstanding letters of credit and (iii) administration fees.

        The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the ability (subject to various exceptions) of 21C and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; sell certain property or assets; pay dividends of other distributions; consummate acquisitions; make investments, loans and advances; prepay certain

96


Table of Contents

indebtedness, change the nature of their business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and incur restrictions on the ability of 21C's subsidiaries to make distributions, advances and asset transfers. In addition, as of the last business day of each month, 21C will be required to maintain a certain minimum amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus availability under the Revolving Credit Facility of not less than $15.0 million.

        The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross default to other material indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation and a change of control.

        The obligations of 21C under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and certain direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of 21C.

        The Credit Facilities and certain interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by lenders under the Credit Facilities or its affiliates are secured on a first priority basis by security interests in substantially all of 21C's and each guarantor's tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions).

        The Revolving Credit Facility requires that we comply with certain financial covenants, including:

 
  Requirement at
December 31, 2013
  Level at
December 31, 2013

Minimum permitted unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus availability under the Revolving Credit Facility

  >$15.0 million   $57.7 million

        The Revolving Credit Facility also requires that we comply with various other covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on new indebtedness, asset sales, capital expenditures, acquisitions and dividends, with which we were in compliance as of December 31, 2013.

        On April 15, 2014, we obtained a waiver of borrowing conditions due to a default of not providing audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 within 90 days after year end. We paid the administrative agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders a fee equal to 0.125% of such Lender's aggregate Commitments. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility provides for a 30 day cure period for the filing of the audited annual financial statements. The default was cured with the provision of the audited financial statements to the administrative agent on April 30, 2014.

        We believe available borrowings under our credit facilities, together with our cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated operating requirements. To the extent available borrowings and cash flows from operations are insufficient to fund future requirements, we may be required to seek additional financing through additional increases in our senior secured credit facilities, negotiate additional credit facilities with other lenders or institutions or seek additional capital through private placements or public offerings of equity or debt securities. No assurances can be given that we will be able to extend or increase our senior secured credit facilities, secure additional bank borrowings or lease line of credit or complete additional debt or equity financings on terms favorable to us or at all. Our ability to meet our funding needs could be adversely affected if we experience a decline in our results of operations, or if we violate the covenants and other restrictions to which we are subject under our senior secured credit facilities.

Finance Obligation

        We lease certain of our treatment centers (each, a "facility" and, collectively, the "facilities") and other properties from partnerships that are majority-owned by related parties (each, a "related party lessor" and, collectively, the "related party lessors"). See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions." The related party lessors construct the facilities in accordance with our plans and

97


Table of Contents

specifications and subsequently lease these facilities to us. Due to the related party relationship, we are considered the owner of these facilities during the construction period pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840-40, "Sale-Leaseback Transactions" ("ASC 840-40"). In accordance with ASC 840-40, we record a construction in progress asset for these facilities with a corresponding finance obligation during the construction period. These related parties guarantee the debt of the related party lessors, which is considered to be "continuing involvement" pursuant to ASC 840-40. Accordingly, these leases did not qualify as a normal sale-leaseback at the time that construction was completed and these facilities were leased to us. As a result, the costs to construct the facilities and the related finance obligation are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets after construction was completed. The construction costs are included in "Real Estate Subject to Finance Obligation" in the consolidated balance sheets and the accompanying notes, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The finance obligation is amortized over the lease during the construction period term based on the payments designated in the lease agreements.

Billing and Collections

        Our billing system in the U.S. utilizes a fee schedule for billing patients, third-party payers and government sponsored programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Fees billed to government sponsored programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and fees billed to contracted payers and self pay patients (not covered under other third party payer arrangements) are automatically adjusted to the allowable payment amount at time of billing. In 2009, we updated our billing system to include fee schedules on approximately 98% of all payers and developed a blended rate allowable amount on the remaining payers. As a result of this change in 2009, fees billed to all payers are automatically adjusted to the allowable payment at time of billing.

        Insurance information is requested from all patients either at the time the first appointment is scheduled or at the time of service. A copy of the insurance card is scanned into our system at the time of service so that it is readily available to staff during the collection process. Patient demographic information is collected for both our clinical and billing systems.

        It is our policy to collect co-payments from the patient at the time of service. Insurance benefit information is obtained and the patient is informed of their deductible and co-payment responsibility prior to the commencement of treatment.

        Charges are posted to the billing system by coders in our offices or in our central billing office. After charges are posted, edits are performed, any necessary corrections are made and billing forms are generated, then sent electronically to our clearinghouse whenever electronic submission is possible. Any bills not able to be processed through the clearinghouse are printed and mailed from our print mail service. Statements are automatically generated from our billing system and mailed to the patient on a regular basis for any amounts still outstanding from the patient. Daily, weekly and monthly accounts receivable analysis reports are utilized by staff and management to prioritize accounts for collection purposes, as well as to identify trends and issues. Strategies to respond proactively to these issues are developed at weekly and monthly team meetings. Our write-off process requires manual review and our process for collecting accounts receivable is dependent on the type of payer as set forth below.

Medicare, Medicaid and Commercial Payer Balances

        Our central billing office staff expedites the payment process from insurance companies and other payers via electronic inquiries, phone calls and automated letters to ensure timely payment. Our billing system generates standard aging reports by date of billing in increments of 30 day intervals. The collection team utilizes these reports to assess and determine the payers requiring additional focus and collection efforts. Our accounts receivable exposure on Medicare, Medicaid and commercial payer balances are largely limited to denials and other unusual adjustments. Our exposure to bad debts on balances relating to these types of payers over the years has been insignificant.

98


Table of Contents

        In the event of denial of payment, we follow the payer's standard appeals process, both to secure payment and to lobby the payers, as appropriate, to modify their medical policies to expand coverage for the newer and more advanced treatment services that we provide which, in many cases, is the payer's reason for denial of payment. If all reasonable collection efforts with these payers have been exhausted by our central billing office staff, the account receivable is written-off.

Self-Pay Balances

        We administer self-pay account balances through our central billing office and our policy is to first attempt to collect these balances although after initial attempts we often send outstanding self-pay patient claims to collection agencies at designated points in the collection process. In some cases monthly payment arrangements are made with patients for the account balance remaining after insurance payments have been applied. These accounts are reviewed monthly to ensure payments continue to be made in a timely manner. Once it has been determined by our staff that the patient is not responding to our collection attempts, a final notice is mailed. This generally occurs more than 120 days after the date of the original bill. If there is no response to our final notice, after 30 days the account is assigned to a collection agency and, as appropriate, recorded as a bad debt and written off. We also have payment arrangements with patients for the self-pay portion due in which monthly payments are made by the patient on a predetermined schedule. Balances under $50 are written off but not sent to the collection agency. All accounts are specifically identified for write-offs and accounts are written off prior to being submitted to the collection agency.

        In September 2013, we signed a value added services agreement with Mercy Medical Center in Redding, CA, part of Dignity Health, to provide oncology services. This agreement adds to our presence in the strategic market of California, where we recently expanded operations through the acquisition of OnCure.

        In September 2013, we were awarded a hospital contract to provide radiation oncology treatment services at the Naval Hospital in Argentina.

        In June 2013, we entered into a "stalking horse" investment agreement to acquire OnCure upon effectiveness of its plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code for approximately $125.0 million, (excluding capital leases, working capital and other adjustments). The purchase price included $42.5 million in cash and up to $82.5 million in assumed debt ($7.5 million of assumed debt will be released assuming certain OnCure centers achieve a minimum level of EBITDA). We funded an initial deposit of approximately $5.0 million into an escrow subject to the working capital adjustments.

        On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings from our senior secured credit facility and the assumption of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature on January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

        OnCure operates radiation oncology treatment centers for cancer patients. It contracts with radiation oncology physician groups and their radiation oncologists through long-term management services agreements to offer cancer patients a comprehensive range of radiation oncology treatment options, including most traditional and next generation services. OnCure provides services to a network of 11 physician groups that treat cancer patients at its 33 radiation oncology treatment centers, making it one of the largest strategically located networks of radiation oncology service providers. OnCure has treatment centers located in California, Florida and Indiana, where it provides the physician groups with the use of the facilities and with certain clinical services of treatment center staff, and administers the non-medical business functions of the treatment centers, such as technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management and compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting, human resource management and physician succession planning.

        On October 30, 2013, we acquired the assets of a radiation oncology practice located in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina for approximately $2.2 million.

        In January 2012, we ceased provision of professional services at our Lee County—Florida hospital based treatment center.

        In February 2012, we closed a radiation treatment facility in Owings Mills, Maryland.

        In March 2012, we terminated our arrangement to provide professional services at a hospital in Seaford, Delaware.

        In July 2012, we closed a radiation treatment facility in Monroe, Michigan, and we constructed a replacement de novo radiation treatment center in Troy, Michigan which opened for operation in February 2013.

        In October 2012, we sold our membership interest in an unconsolidated joint venture in Mohali, India to our former partner in the joint venture for a nominal amount.

        In November 2012, we reopened our East Naples, Florida radiation treatment center to support the influx of patients in our southwest Florida local market.

        In May and July 2013, we closed two radiation treatment facilities in Lee County—Florida, as a result of the purchase of the 5 radiation oncology practices in Lee/Collier counties in Southwest Florida.

        During the fourth quarter of 2013, we closed three radiation treatment facilities in Lee/Collier Counties—Florida, as a result of the purchase of the 5 radiation oncology practices in Lee/Collier counties in Southwest Florida and one radiation treatment facility in central Arizona.

        As of December 31, 2013, we have four additional de novo radiation treatment centers located in New York, Bolivia, Dominican Republic and North Carolina. The internal development of radiation treatment centers is subject to a number of risks including but not limited to risks related to negotiating and finalizing agreements, construction delays, unexpected costs, obtaining required regulatory permits, licenses and approvals and the availability of qualified healthcare and administrative professionals and personnel. As such, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully develop radiation treatment centers in accordance with our current plans and any failure or material delay in successfully completing planned internally developed treatment centers could harm our business and impair our future growth.

        We have been selected by a consortium of leading New York academic medical centers (including Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Beth Israel Medical Center/Continuum Health System, NYU Langone Medical Center, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, and Montefiore Medical Center) to serve as the developer and manager of a proton beam therapy center to be constructed in Manhattan. The project is in the final stages of certificate of need approval. We expect to invest approximately $10,000,000 in the project and will have an approximate 28.5% ownership interest. On October 3, 2013, NYU Langone Medical Center sent a 60 day notice of withdrawal from the consortium. Unless this notice is rescinded, this will result in an increase in our equity interest by approximately 3%, with an increased capital investment of approximately $2.0 million. We will also receive a management fee of 5% of collected revenues. In connection with our role as manager, we have accounted for our interest in the center as an equity method investment. The center is expected to commence operations in late-2016.

        In January 2014, we entered a strategic partnership with ProHealth Care Associates, LLP and opened a new de novo state-of-the-art radiation therapy center in Riverhead, New York. ProHealth is the largest physician group practice in the metropolitan New York area with over 500 physicians in over 150 offices treating over 750,000 covered lives.

        On January 15, 2014 we purchased 69% interest in a legal entity that operates a radiation oncology facility in Guatemala City, Guatemala for approximately $1.2 million plus the assumption of approximately $3.0 million in debt. This facility is strategically located in Guatemala City's medical corridor.

        On February 10, 2014, we completed our investment in SFRO increasing the number of our radiation therapy centers by 21 and adding 88 additional radiation oncology and ICC physicians. In connection with our purchase of a 65% interest in SFRO, we entered into a new credit agreement providing for a $60 million term loan facility and $7.9 million of term loans to refinance existing SFRO debt (the "SFRO Credit Agreement"). In addition, subject to certain terms and conditions, the owners of the remaining 35% of SFRO will have the right to exchange their ownership interest in SFRO for common stock of 21CH.

        The SFRO Joint Venture increases the number of our treatment centers by approximately 10% and is expected to add approximately 591 average treatments per day.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We continuously evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe 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. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

        We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our management's subjective or complex judgment because of the sensitivity of the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities

        We evaluate certain of our radiation oncology practices in order to determine if they are variable interest entities ("VIE"). This evaluation resulted in determining that certain of our radiation oncology practices were potential variable interests. For each of these practices, we have determined (1) the sufficiency of the fair value of the entities' equity investments at risk to absorb losses, (2) that, as a group, the holders of the equity investments at risk have (a) the direct or indirect ability through voting rights to make decisions about the entities' significant activities, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their obligations are not protected directly or indirectly, and (c) the right to receive the expected residual return of the entity, and (3) substantially all of the entities' activities do not involve or are not conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights in terms of its obligation to absorb the expected losses or its right to receive expected residual returns of the entity, or both. ASC 810, "Consolidation" ("ASC 810"), requires a company to consolidate VIEs if the company is the primary beneficiary of the activities of those entities. Certain of our radiation oncology practices are variable interest entities and we have a variable interest in certain of these practices through our administrative services agreements. Pursuant to ASC 810, through our variable interests in these practices, we have the power to direct the activities of these practices that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and we would absorb a majority of the expected losses of these practices should they occur. Based on these determinations, we have included

104


Table of Contents

these radiation oncology practices in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

        We adopted updated accounting guidance beginning with the first quarter of 2010, by providing an ongoing qualitative rather than quantitative assessment of our ability to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and our rights or obligations to receive benefits or absorb losses, in order to determine whether those entities will be required to be consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the new guidance had no material impact to our financial position and results of operations.

Net Patient Service Revenue and Allowances for Contractual Discounts

        We have agreements with third-party payers that provide us payments at amounts different from our established rates. Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts due from patients, third-party payers and others for services rendered. Net patient service revenue is recognized as services are provided. Medicare and other governmental programs reimburse physicians based on fee schedules, which are determined by the related government agency. We also have agreements with managed care organizations to provide physician services based on negotiated fee schedules. Accordingly, the revenues reported in our consolidated financial statements are recorded at the amount that is expected to be received.

        We derive a significant portion of our revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payers that receive discounts from our standard charges. We must estimate the total amount of these discounts to prepare our consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and subject to interpretation and adjustment. We estimate the allowance for contractual discounts on a payer class basis given our interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from our estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process. Changes in estimates related to the allowance for contractual discounts affect revenues reported in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If our overall estimated allowance for contractual discounts on our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 were changed by 1%, our after-tax loss from continuing operations would change by approximately $0.1 million. This is only one example of reasonably possible sensitivity scenarios. A significant increase in our estimate of contractual discounts for all payers would lower our earnings. This would adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and future access to capital.

        During the years ended 2011, 2012 and 2013, approximately 48%, 45% and 45%, respectively, of net patient service revenue related to services rendered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In the ordinary course of business, we are potentially subject to a review by regulatory agencies concerning the accuracy of billings and sufficiency of supporting documentation of procedures performed. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

        Accounts receivable are reported net of estimated allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized and primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payers and patients. To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying amount of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The credit risk for other concentrations (other than Medicare) of receivables is limited due to the large number of insurance

105


Table of Contents

companies and other payers that provide payments for our services. We do not believe that there are any other significant concentrations of receivables from any particular payer that would subject us to any significant credit risk in the collection of our accounts receivable.

        The amount of the provision for doubtful accounts is based upon our assessment of historical and expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in Federal and state governmental healthcare coverage and other collection indicators. The primary tool used in our assessment is an annual, detailed review of historical collections and write-offs of accounts receivable as they relate to aged accounts receivable balances. The results of our detailed review of historical collections and write-offs, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions, are used to evaluate the allowance amount for the current period. If the actual bad debt allowance percentage applied to the applicable aging categories would change by 1% from our estimated bad debt allowance percentage for the year ended December 31, 2013, our after-tax loss from continuing operations would change by approximately $0.7 million and our net accounts receivable would change by approximately $1.1 million at December 31, 2013. The resulting change in this analytical tool is considered to be a reasonably likely change that would affect our overall assessment of this critical accounting estimate. Accounts receivable are written-off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with our policies.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired by the Company in business combinations. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. During the third quarter of 2012 we recognized goodwill impairment of approximately $69.9 million as a result of the final rule issued on the Physician Fee Schedule for 2013 by CMS on November 1, 2012, which included certain rate reductions on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers as well as the changes in treatment patterns and volumes in prostate cancer as a result of the slowing rate of men diagnosed and referred to treatment regimens, as a result of the Preventative Services Task Force report issued in May 2012 recommending against routine PSA screenings for healthy men, as well as suggested changes in treatment pattern for low risk prostate cancer away from definitive treatment. During the fourth quarter of 2012 we incurred an impairment loss of approximately $11.1 million. Approximately $10.8 million relating to goodwill impairment in certain of our reporting units and approximately $0.1 million related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements in the Delmarva Peninsula local market and approximately $0.2 million related to a consolidated joint venture in the Central Maryland local market. During the third quarter of 2011 we recognized goodwill impairment of approximately $226.5 million and trade name impairment of approximately $8.4 million as a result of our review of growth expectations and the release of the final rule issued on the Physician Fee Schedule for 2012 by CMS on November 1, 2011, which included certain rate reductions on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers. During the fourth quarter of 2011 we incurred an impairment loss of approximately $121.6 million. Approximately $49.8 million of the $121.6 million related to the trade name impairment as a result of our branding initiative. The remaining $71.8 million of impairment related to goodwill in certain of our reporting units. There was no goodwill impairment recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013.

        The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including the unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. Based on (i) assessment of current and expected future economic conditions, (ii) trends, strategies and forecasted cash flows at each reporting unit and (iii) assumptions similar to those that market participants would make in valuing the reporting units.

106


Table of Contents

        The estimated fair value measurements were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). For goodwill, the primary valuation technique used was an income methodology based on estimates of forecasted cash flows for each reporting unit, with those cash flows discounted to present value using rates commensurate with the risks of those cash flows. In addition, a market- based valuation method involving analysis of market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for (i) a group of comparable public companies and (ii) recent transactions, if any, involving comparable companies. Assumptions used are similar to those that would be used by market participants performing valuations of regional divisions. Assumptions were based on analysis of current and expected future economic conditions and the strategic plan for each reporting unit.

        Intangible assets consist of trade names, non-compete agreements, licenses and hospital contractual relationships. Trade names have an indefinite life and are tested annually for impairment. Non-compete agreements, licenses and hospital contractual relationships are amortized over the life of the agreement (which typically ranges from 2 to 20 years) using the straight-line method. Intangible assets impairment loss was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2011 of approximately $58.2 million relating to our trade name and branding initiatives. No intangible asset impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.

        During the second quarter of 2011, certain of our regions' patient volume have stabilized in their respective markets. Although we have had a stabilization of patient volume, we reviewed our anticipated growth expectations in certain of our reporting units and are considering adjusting our expectations for the remainder of the year. If our previously projected cash flows for these reporting units are not achieved, it may be necessary to revise these estimated cash flows and obtain a valuation analysis and appraisal that will enable us to determine if all or a portion of the recorded goodwill or any portion of other long-lived assets are impaired.

        During the third quarter of 2011, we completed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In performing this test, we assessed the implied fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets. We determined that the carrying value of goodwill and trade name in certain U.S. markets, including North East United States (New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeast Michigan), California, South West United States (central Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada), the Florida east coast, Northwest Florida and Southwest Florida regions exceeded their fair value. Accordingly, we recorded noncash impairment charges in the U.S. reporting segment totaling $234.9 million relating to goodwill and trade name in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

        During the fourth quarter of 2011, we decided to brand our current trade name of 21st Century Oncology. As a result of the branding initiative and concurrent with our annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, we incurred an impairment loss of approximately $121.6 million. Approximately $49.8 million of the $121.6 million related to the trade name impairment as a result of our branding initiative. The remaining $71.8 million of impairment relating to goodwill in certain of our reporting units, including North East United States, (New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeast Michigan), and California, Southwest United States (Arizona and Nevada). The remaining U.S. trade name of approximately $4.6 million will be amortized over its remaining useful life through December 31, 2012. We incurred approximately $0.9 million in amortization expense during the fourth quarter. In addition, we impaired certain deposits on equipment of approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million in leasehold improvements relating to a planned radiation treatment facility office closing in Baltimore, Maryland.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", we review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Assessment of possible impairment of a particular asset is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of such asset based on our estimate of its undiscounted future cash flows. If these estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.

Stock-Based Compensation

        All share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss over the requisite service period.

        For purposes of determining the compensation expense associated with equity grants, we engaged a third party valuation company to value the business enterprise using a variety of widely accepted valuation techniques, which considered a number of factors such as the financial performance of the Company, the values of comparable companies and the lack of marketability of the Company's equity. The third party valuation company then uses the option pricing method to determine the fair value of equity units at the time of grant using the following assumptions: a term of five years, which is based on the expected term in which the units will be realized; a risk-free interest rate of 0.53% for grants issued in 2011, which is the five-year U.S. federal treasury bond rate consistent with the term assumption; and expected volatility of 55% for grants issued in 2011, which is based on the historical data of equity instruments of comparable companies.

        For 2011, the estimated fair value of the units, less an assumed forfeiture rate of 2.7%, is recognized in expense in the Company's financial statements on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards for Class B Units. For Class B Units, the requisite service period is 48 months, and for Class C Units, the requisite service period is 34 months only if probable of being met. The assumed forfeiture rate is based on an average historical forfeiture rate. All outstanding Class B and Class C Units were canceled without payment to the holder thereof in connection with 21CI's entry into the Third Amended LLC Agreement.

        For purposes of determining the compensation expense associated with the 2012 and 2013 equity-based incentive plan grants, we engaged a third party valuation company to value the business enterprise using a variety of widely accepted valuation techniques, which considered a number of factors such as the financial performance of the Company, the values of comparable companies and the lack of marketability of the Company's equity. The third party valuation company then used the probability-weighted expected return method ("PWERM") to determine the fair value of these units at the time of grant. Under the PWERM, the value of the units is estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the enterprise assuming various future outcomes (exits) as well as the rights of each unit class. In developing assumptions for the various exit scenarios, management considered the Company's ability to achieve certain growth and profitability milestone in order to maximize shareholder value at the time of potential exit. Management considers an initial public offering of the Company's stock to be one of the exit scenarios for the current shareholders, as well as a sale or merger/acquisition transaction. For the scenarios the enterprise value at exit was estimated based on a multiple of the Company's EBITDA for the fiscal year preceding the exit date. The enterprise value for the scenario where the Company stays private (and under the majority ownership of Vestar) was estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis as well as guideline company market approach. The guideline companies were publicly-traded companies that were deemed comparable to the Company. The discount rate analysis also leveraged market data of the same guideline companies. For each

108


Table of Contents

PWERM scenario, management estimated probability factors based on the outlook of the Company and the industry as well as prospects and timing for a potential exit based on information known or knowable as of the grant date. The probability-weighted unit values calculated at each potential exit date was present-valued to the grant date to estimate the per-unit value. The discount rate utilized in the present value calculation was the cost of equity calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPM") and based on the market data of the guideline companies as well as historical data published by Morningstar, Inc. For each PWERM scenario, the per unit values were adjusted for lack of marketability discount to determine unit value on a minority, non-marketable basis.

        For 2012 and 2013, the estimated fair value of the units, less an assumed forfeiture rate of 3.9%, is recognized in expense in the Company's consolidated financial statements on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards for Class MEP Units. For Class MEP Units, the requisite service period is approximately 18 months, and for Class EMEP Units, the requisite service period is 36 months only if probable of being met. The Class M Units and O Units compensation will be recognized upon the sale of the Company or an initial public offering. Under the terms of the incentive unit grant agreements governing the grants of the Class M Units and Class O Units, in the event of an initial public offering of the Company's common stock, holders have certain rights to receive shares of restricted common stock of the Company in exchange for their Class M Units and Class O Units. The assumed forfeiture rate is based on an average historical forfeiture rate. All outstanding Class EMEP Units and Class L units were canceled without payment to the holder thereof in connect with 21CI's entry into the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement.

Grants under 2013 Plan

        On December 9, 2013, 21CI entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "Fourth Amended LLC Agreement") which replaced the Third Amended LLC Agreement in its entirety. The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of incentive equity units (such new units, together with Class MEP Units, as modified under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, the "2013 Plan") in 21CI in the form of Class M Units, Class N Units and Class O Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, eliminated 21CI's Class L Units and Class EMEP Units, and modified the distribution entitlements for holders of each existing class of equity units of 21CI.

Income Taxes

        We make estimates in recording our provision for income taxes, including determination of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we determined that the valuation allowance was approximately $45.5 million, consisting of $38.3 million against federal deferred tax assets and $7.2 million against state deferred tax assets. This represented an increase of approximately $27.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we determined that the valuation allowance was approximately $82.3 million, consisting of $70.3 million against federal deferred tax assets and $12.0 million against state deferred tax assets. This represented an increase of $36.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we determined that the valuation allowance should be $97.4 million, consisting of $87.5 million against federal deferred tax assets and $9.9 million against state deferred tax assets. This represents an increase of $15.1 million in valuation allowance. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

        We are subject to taxation in the United States, approximately 22 state jurisdictions, the Netherlands, and throughout Latin America, namely, Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. However, the principal jurisdictions for which we are subject to tax are the United States, Florida and Argentina.

        Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws, interpretations thereof. We monitor the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and makes adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating our annual effective tax rates, future income tax expense (benefit) could be materially affected.

        In addition, we are routinely under audit by federal, state, or local authorities in the areas of income taxes and other taxes. These audits include questioning the timing and amount of deductions and compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these audits to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or is required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.

        During 2012, we closed a US Federal income tax examination for tax years 2007 through 2008. All issues proposed have been agreed to with the exception of interest and penalties for which an accrual of $2.2 million is recorded. During the third quarter of 2013, we closed the federal income tax audit related to calendar year 2009 with no material adjustments. We closed the New York State audit for tax years 2006 through 2008 with a favorable result during the first quarter of 2013.

New Pronouncements

        In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11), which amends ASC 740 to clarify balance sheet presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 is effective for us on January 1, 2014. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our financial statements.

Reimbursement, Legislative And Regulatory Changes

        Legislative and regulatory action has resulted in continuing changes in reimbursement under the Medicare and Medicaid programs that will continue to limit payments we receive under these programs.

        Within the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are substantial areas subject to legislative and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations, and discretion which may further affect payments made under those programs, and the federal and state governments may, in the future, reduce the funds available under those programs or require more stringent utilization and quality reviews of our treatment centers or require other changes in our operations. Additionally, there may be a continued rise in managed care programs and future restructuring of the financing and delivery of healthcare in the United States. These events could have an adverse effect on our future financial results.

Inflation

        While inflation was not a material factor in either revenue or operating expenses during the periods presented, the healthcare industry is labor- intensive. Wages and other expenses increase during periods of inflation and labor shortages, such as the nationwide shortage of dosimetrists and radiation therapists. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. We have implemented cost control measures to curb increases in operating costs and expenses. We have to date offset increases in operating costs by increasing reimbursement or expanding services. However, we cannot predict our ability to cover, or offset, future cost increases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in

trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

        We are exposed to various market risks as a part of our operations, and we anticipate that this exposure will increase as a result of our planned growth. In an effort to mitigate losses associated with these risks, we may at times enter into derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments may take the form of forward sales contracts, option contracts, and interest rate swaps. We have not and do not intend to engage in the practice of trading derivative securities for profit. Because our borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities will bear interest at variable rates, we are sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates.

Interest Rate Swap

        We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our outstanding variable rate debt. To reduce the interest rate exposure, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement whereby we fixed the interest rate on the notional amount of approximately $290.6 million of our senior secured term loan facility, effective as of June 30, 2008. The rate and maturity of the interest rate swap is 3.67% plus a margin, which was 425 basis points, and expired on March 31, 2012. The amount of our senior secured term loan facility subject to the interest rate swap agreement will reduce from $290.6 million to $116.0 million by the end of the term. In December 2011, we terminated the interest rate swap agreement and paid approximately $1.9 million representing the fair value of the interest rate hedge at time of termination. At December 31, 2011 no amount of the floating rate senior debt was subject to an interest rate swap.

        In July 2011, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements whereby we fixed the interest rate on the notional amounts totaling approximately $116.0 million of our senior secured term loan facility, effective as of March 30, 2012. The rate and maturity of the interest rate swap agreements are 0.923% plus a margin, which was 475 basis points, and was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. In May 2012, the Company terminated the interest rate swap agreements and paid approximately $1.0 million representing the fair value of the interest rate hedges at time of termination. No ineffectiveness was recorded as a result of the termination of the interest rate swap agreement. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the terminated interest rate swap agreements of approximately $1.0 million, net of tax is reflected as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        The swaps were derivatives and were accounted for under ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The fair value of the swap agreements, representing the estimated amount that we would pay to a third party assuming our obligations under the interest rate swap agreements terminated at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was approximately $-0-. The estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps were determined using the income approach that considers various inputs and assumptions, including LIBOR swap rates, cash flow activity, yield curves and other relevant economic measures, all of which are observable market inputs that are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value also incorporates valuation adjustments for credit risk.

        Since we have the ability to elect different interest rates on the debt at each reset date, and our senior secured credit facility contains certain prepayment provisions, the hedging relationship does not qualify for use of the shortcut method under ASC 815. Therefore, the effectiveness of the hedge relationships are assessed on a quarterly basis during the life of the hedge through regression analysis. The entire change in fair market value is recorded in equity, net of tax, as other comprehensive income (loss).

Interest Rates

        Outstanding balances under our senior secured credit facility bear interest based on either LIBOR plus an initial spread, or an alternate base rate plus an initial spread, at our option. Accordingly, an adverse change in interest rates would cause an increase in the amount of interest paid. As of December 31, 2013, we have interest rate exposure on $143.5 million of our senior secured credit facility. A 100 basis point change in interest rates on our senior secured credit facility would result in an increase of $1.4 million in the amount of annualized interest paid and annualized interest expense recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts

        Foreign currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could impact our results of operations. We are exposed to a significant amount of foreign exchange risk, primarily between the U.S. dollar and the Argentine Peso. This exposure relates to the provision of radiation oncology services to patients at our Latin American operations and purchases of goods and services in foreign currencies. Since our acquisition of Medical Developers, each quarter we have entered into foreign exchange option contracts that expire in one year. We did not enter into any hedge agreements during the quarters ended June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2013 due to a combination of the volatility in the Argentine Peso and the cost and potential benefit of such hedges. Because our Argentine forecasted foreign currency denominated net income is expected to increase commensurate with inflationary expectations, the adverse impact on net income from a weakening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar is limited to the cost of the option contracts in effect, which was approximately $0.2 million. With respect to a strengthening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar versus inflationary expectations, the estimated favorable impact on net income for an Argentine Peso that is 5%, 10% and 15% stronger than inflationary expectations, will be $0.1 million, $0.0 million and $0.0 million to our consolidated results, respectively, which includes the cost of the option contracts. Under our foreign currency management program, we expect to monitor foreign exchange rates and periodically enter into forward contracts and other derivative instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

        These programs reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange movements. Foreign currency forward and option contracts are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our current practice is to use currency derivatives without hedge accounting designation. The maturity of these instruments generally occurs within twelve months. Gains or losses resulting from the fair valuing of these instruments are reported in loss on foreign currency derivative contracts on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we incurred a loss of approximately $0.5 million, $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively relating to the fair market valuation of our foreign currency derivative program.

        Information with respect to this Item is contained in our consolidated financial statements beginning with the Index on Page F-1 of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

(a)
Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm.

        On December 4, 2012, the Company notified Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") that E&Y would be dismissed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. E&Y's dismissal became effective on December 4, 2012. The decision to change accounting firms was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Audit Committee").

113


Table of Contents

        During the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2012 through December 4, 2012, the Company has not had any disagreement with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to E&Y's satisfaction, would have caused E&Y to make reference to the subject matter of disagreement in their reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In addition, during such periods, there were no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. E&Y's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

(b)
Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm.

        On December 10, 2012, the Company, in connection with the previously disclosed dismissal of its independent registered accounting firm, approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The engagement of D&T had previously been approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on November 28, 2012.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

    (10) (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. As of December 31, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of two material weaknesses in internal controls related to management's identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure as of December 31, 2013.


REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

        The management of 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements appearing in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances and, accordingly, include certain amounts based on our best judgments and estimates.

        Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes a program of internal audits and appropriate reviews by management, written policies and guidelines, careful selection and training of qualified personnel including a dedicated Compliance department and a

114


Table of Contents

written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics adopted by our Board of Directors, applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees.

        Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected in a timely manner. Because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of control procedures, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Therefore, even those internal controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

        Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued in 1992 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management's evaluation did not include an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for OnCure, which the Company acquired effective October 25, 2013. OnCure represented approximately $179.4 million of the Company's consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2013 and approximately $14.6 million of the Company's consolidated total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2013. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting, excluding the internal controls of OnCure, was not effective because of two material weaknesses in internal controls related to management's identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure as of December 31, 2013 (as described below).

        This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for issuers that are not "large accelerated filers" nor "accelerated filers" set forth in Section 989G(a) set forth in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted into federal law in July 2010.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        We completed the acquisition of OnCure, effective October 25, 2013. The facilities acquired as part of the OnCure Acquisition utilize different information technology systems from our other facilities. We are currently integrating our internal control processes at OnCure. We have excluded all of the OnCure operations from our assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Other than as it relates to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the valuation of goodwill as of December 31, 2012, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented certain changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that was identified during our prior year-end audit process as described above in "Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting." Specifically, during fiscal year 2013, management implemented more robust review and reconciliation procedures to ensure that underlying supporting schedules for the valuation of goodwill were mathematically accurate. Management's report on internal control over financial reporting is included above.

115


Table of Contents

        We have internal controls pertaining to the identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure. On February 18, 2014, we were served with subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health & Human Services acting with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Middle District of Florida who together had requested the production of medical records of patients treated by certain of our physicians. In March 2014, we identified a material weakness in our internal communications regarding the identification of and accounting for the loss contingency, along with the related disclosure regarding the subpoenas. We determined that the error was caused by (i) the design of certain controls relating to the identification and communication of potential losses relating to certain patient billings and (ii) deficiencies in the determination of and accounting for the probable loss as well as the related disclosures regarding the subpoenas. Management determined that these control deficiencies constituted material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.

        We are in the process of developing and implementing new processes and procedures to remediate the material weaknesses that existed in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure as of December 31, 2013, as well as the continued improvement of our overall system of internal controls over financial reporting with respect to the accounting for loss contingencies, including the establishment of a disclosure committee and the assessment of future probable loss contingency accounting and methods.

Board Composition

        Our Bylaws provide that our Board of Directors shall consist of the number of directors so determined by its board of directors. Each director serves for annual terms and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Vestar indirectly controls a majority of the capital stock of Parent, which in turn holds 100% of the capital stock of the Company, and as such, Vestar has the ability to elect all of the members of our board of directors. The Company is also subject to certain agreements, which provide Vestar with the ability to designate a specified number of members of our board of directors and 21CI's board of managers. The Company's board of directors presently consists of seven members.

        We are indirectly controlled by 21CI, the direct owner of 100% of the capital stock of Parent. 21CI does not have a formal policy regarding the procedures by which equityholders may recommend nominees to its board of managers. However, any recommendations received from equityholders pursuant to our submission procedures are generally evaluated in the same manner that potential nominees suggested by board members are evaluated. 21CI is party to an Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement, pursuant to which the parties thereto must cause the board of managers of 21CI to consist of four managers designated by Vestar and its affiliates, two independent managers designated by an affiliate of Vestar after consultation with Dr. Dosoretz, and two managers that are executives of the Company designated by Dr. Dosoretz after consultation with Vestar, for so long as Dr. Dosoretz is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to a reduction of the number of managers that are executives of the Company upon a decrease in the ownership interests in 21CI held by certain management holders or failure by the Company to achieve certain performance targets. In addition, 21CI is governed by an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, pursuant to which Vestar and its affiliates shall determine the number of persons comprising the board of managers of 21CI in accordance with the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement, all of whom shall be individuals as determined pursuant to the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence."

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures with respect to our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding compensation.

Executive Summary

        The primary objectives of our executive compensation policies are to attract and retain talented executives to effectively manage and lead our Company and create value for our equityholders. Through our executive compensation policies, we seek to align the level of our executive compensation with the achievement of our corporate objectives, thereby aligning the interests of our management with those of our equityholders.

        The compensation of our named executive officers generally consists of base salary, annual cash incentive payments, long-term equity incentives and other benefits and perquisites. In addition, our named executive officers are eligible to receive severance or other benefits upon termination of their employment with us. In setting an individual executive officer's initial compensation package and the relative allocation among different types of compensation, we consider the nature of the position being filled, the scope of associated responsibilities, the individual's qualifications, as well as Vestar's experience with other companies in its investment portfolio and general market knowledge regarding executive compensation.

        The discussion below explains our compensation decisions with respect to fiscal year 2013, our last fiscal year. Our named executive officers are Daniel E. Dosoretz, M.D., our Chief Executive Officer since April 1997, and Norton L. Travis who has been our Executive Vice President and General Counsel since joining us in February 2008. Our named executive officers also include Bryan J. Carey, our Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer since January 2012 and President since February 2014.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

        The compensation policies for our named executive officers have been designed based upon our view that the ownership by management of equity interests in our business is the most effective mechanism for providing incentives for management to maximize gains for equityholders, that annual cash incentive compensation should be linked to metrics that create value for our equityholders and that other elements of executive compensation should be set at levels that are necessary, within reasonable parameters, to successfully attract, retain and motivate optimally talented and experienced executives.

Role of Our Compensation Committee

        Our Compensation Committee evaluates and determines the levels and forms of individual compensation for our named executive officers. Under the term of its charter, our Compensation Committee reviews and either approves, on behalf of the Company's board of directors, or

123


Table of Contents

recommends to the Company's board of directors for approval the annual salaries and other compensation for our executive officers and individual unit incentive awards. The Compensation Committee develops and determines all components of executive officer compensation, as well as provides assistance and recommendations to the Company's board of directors with respect to our incentive-compensation plans, equity-based plans, compensation policies and practices and assists with the administration of our compensation and benefit plans. Messrs. Sheridan and Elrod serve on the Compensation Committee, which met one time during each of the years 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Compensation Determination Process

        Our Compensation Committee determines or recommends to the board of directors for determination the compensation of each of our named executive officers and solicits input from our Chief Executive Officer in determining the compensation (particularly base salary and annual cash incentive payments) of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee does not retain compensation consultants to review our policies and procedures with respect to executive officer compensation

Effect of Accounting and Tax Treatment on Compensation Decisions

        In the review and establishment of our compensation program, we consider the anticipated accounting and tax implications to us and our named executive officers. While we consider the applicable accounting and tax treatment of alternative forms of equity compensation, these factors alone are not dispositive, and we also consider the cash and non-cash impact of the programs and whether a program is consistent with our overall compensation philosophy and objectives.

Risk Considerations in Determining Compensation

        We regularly assess our compensation policies and practices in response to current public and regulatory concern about the link between incentive compensation and excessive risk taking by corporations. We have concluded that our compensation program does not motivate imprudent risk taking and any risks involved in compensation are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In reaching this conclusion, we believe that the following risk oversight and compensation design features guard against excessive risk-taking:

    Establishing base salaries consistent with executives' responsibilities so that they are not motivated to take excessive risks to achieve a reasonable level of financial security;

    Determining cash and equity incentive awards based on achievement of performance metrics that provide a simple, but encompassing and powerful, performance goal that aligns the strategies and efforts of the enterprise across operational groups and geographies, and also helps ensure that extraordinary compensation is tied to creation of enhanced value for stockholders;

    Designing long-term compensation, including vesting provisions for equity compensation awards, to reward executives for driving sustainable, profitable, growth for stockholders; and

    Ensuring oversight of the Compensation Committee in the operation of our compensation plans.

Elements of Compensation

        We generally deliver executive compensation through a combination of annual base salary, annual cash incentive payments, long-term equity incentives and other benefits and perquisites. We believe that this mix of elements is useful in achieving our primary compensation objectives. The payment of executive compensation is determined by the Compensation Committee, and we do not target any particular form of compensation to encompass a majority of annual compensation provided to our executive officers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        As an emerging growth company, we have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to "smaller reporting companies" as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, which require compensation disclosure for our principal executive officer and the two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer. Throughout this Annual Report, these three officers are referred to as our named executive officers.

The employment term is a five-year term and provides Dr. Dosoretz with the option to further extend the initial term thereof by an additional two years at any time prior to the second anniversary of the date thereof.

        Dr. Dosoretz is currently entitled to receive an annual base salary of $1,500,000 and entitled to such increases in his annual base salary as may be determined by the Company's Board of Directors or compensation committee from time to time.

PF Adjusted EBITDA also includes certain adjustments, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash impairment losses and gains/losses on disposal of assets, minority interest, equity-based compensation, employee severance and other costs, acquisition costs, adjustment related to sale- leaseback accounting, litigation expenses, non-cash rent expense and other adjustments.

Each monthly payment shall be equal to 1/12th of the sum of (i) Dr. Dosoretz's annual base salary,

as in effect at the termination date, plus (ii) the amount equal to the sum of his bonuses for the three prior years divided by three. Dr. Dosoretz shall also be permitted to continue participation at the Company's expense in all benefit and insurance plans, coverage and programs for one year in which he was participating prior to the termination date.

        If Dr. Dosoretz's employment terminates due to a "disability" (as defined in his employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive the Accrued Compensation and any other disability benefits payable pursuant to any long- term disability plan or other disability program or insurance policies maintained or provided by the Company.

In addition, the death benefits payable pursuant to any retirement, deferred compensation or other employee benefit plan maintained by the Company shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by Dr. Dosoretz in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan.

        Dr. Dosoretz' Executive Employment Agreement also provides that if his Physician Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason, but his Executive Employment Agreement is not, Dr. Dosoretz' annual base salary under the Executive Employment Agreement shall be increased to $2,000,000.

        Dr. Dosoretz is also subject to a covenant not to disclose our confidential information during his employment term, and at all times during his employment term and ending three years after his termination date, Dr. Dosoretz covenants not to compete with us, not to interfere or disrupt the relationships we have with any joint venture party, any patient, referral source, supplier or other person having a business relationship with the Company, not to solicit or hire any of our employees and not to publish or make any disparaging statements about us or any of our directors, officers or employees. If Dr. Dosoretz breaches or threatens to breach these covenants, the Company shall be entitled to temporary and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, to enforce such provisions in any action or proceeding instituted in any court in the State of Florida having subject matter jurisdiction. The provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the Company's right to claims and recover damages.

Physician Employment Agreement

        In addition, we have entered into an Amended and Restated Physician Employment Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2012, with Dr. Dosoretz, pursuant to which Dr. Dosoretz shall provide medical services as a radiation oncologist at such locations as are mutually agreed.

The Company may terminate the agreement due to a "disability" (as defined in the agreement) and the agreement will automatically terminate upon Dr. Dosoretz's death. If the Executive Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation to terminate the Physician Employment Agreement, without any liability or obligation to him, other than

127

any Accrued Compensation. If the Executive Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason, but the Physician Employment Agreement is not terminated, the Physician Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except that (i) Dr. Dosoretz's base salary shall be increased to $1,500,000; (ii) Dr. Dosoretz shall be obligated to work five days per week rather than up to two days per week as currently contemplated under the Physician Employment Agreement, and (iii) Dr. Dosoretz shall be eligible to participate in such other bonus and benefit plans afforded other senior physicians of the Company and receive comparable fringe benefits to such other senior physicians.

        Dr. Dosoretz is also subject to covenants not to compete under the Physician Employment Agreement whereby in the event of the termination of this agreement for any reason, Dr. Dosoretz agrees, with certain exceptions, not to directly or indirectly engage in the practice of radiation therapy or oncology, or otherwise compete with us (as defined in the agreement) for a period beginning on the date of the Physician Employment Agreement and ending three years after his termination date.

Executive Employment Agreement with Bryan J. Carey

For each of 2012 and 2013, the minimum amount of the performance bonus payable to Mr. Carey will be $200,000 and $300,000, respectively. Mr. Carey also has the opportunity to earn an additional bonus upon achievement of related operating performance targets. Mr. Carey is also entitled to participate in our employee benefit plans on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to our other officers. We have also agreed to indemnify Mr. Carey in connection with his capacity as an officer. If Mr. Carey's employment is terminated by us during the term of the agreement, he is entitled to his Accrued Compensation.

        Mr. Carey may terminate his employment at any time for any reason. If Mr. Carey resigns or otherwise voluntarily terminates his employment and the termination is not for "good reason" during the term of his employment (as defined in his employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive his base salary accrued and unpaid through the date of termination and his earned and unpaid annual cash incentive payment, if any, for the fiscal year prior to the termination date.

In addition, if Mr. Carey should elect continued Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") coverage, we shall pay during the period Mr. Carey actually continues such coverage, the same percentage of monthly premium costs for COBRA continuation coverage as it pays of the monthly premium costs for medical coverage for senior executives generally.

        Mr. Carey is also subject to a covenant not to disclose our confidential information during his employment term, and at all times during his employment term and ending 24 months after his termination date, Mr. Carey covenants not to compete with us, not to interfere or disrupt the relationships we have with any joint venture party, any patient, referral source, supplier or other person having a business relationship with the Company, not to solicit or hire any of our employees and not to publish or make any disparaging statements about us or any of our directors, officers or employees. If Mr. Carey breaches or threatens to breach these covenants, the Company shall be entitled to temporary and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, to enforce such provisions in any action or proceeding instituted in any court in the State of Florida having subject matter jurisdiction. The provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the Company's right to claims and recover damages.

The vesting measurement date, as set forth in the relevant subscription agreement, for these units is December 9, 2013. The Class M, and O units vesting is dependent upon the occurrence of a qualified sale or liquidation event. The Executive Bonus Plan vesting is dependent upon the occurrence of a qualified sale or liquidation event.

(b)
For Mr. Carey, 33.3% of the Preferred and Class A awards vested on January 1, 2013, with the remaining 66.7% vesting in equal amounts on January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015. Any unvested shares would vest automatically upon the occurrence of a sale or liquidation event, provided the executives remain employed by the Company at the time of the event. Vested shares are subject to forfeiture only in the event of termination for cause, or engaging in prohibited activities.

(c)
Payout value represents fair market value determined as of fiscal year-end, which is $58.37 per Class M non-voting equity unit of 21CI, $0.47 per Class O non-voting equity unit of 21CI, $490.3 per Preferred unit of 21CI and $0.15 per Class A equity unit of 21CI. The Executive Bonus Pool fair market value as of fiscal year-end was $11.5 million

Executive Bonus Plan

        The Company has adopted the Executive Bonus Plan to provide certain senior level employees of the Company with an opportunity to receive additional compensation based on the "Equity Value" (as defined in the plan and described in general terms below) of 21CI, the ultimate parent holding company of the Company, in connection with a Company sale or an initial public offering. Upon the occurrence of the first Company sale or initial public offering to occur following the effective date of the plan, which is December 9, 2013, a bonus pool will be established equal in value to five percent (5%) of the Equity Value of 21CI, subject to a maximum bonus pool of $12,650,000. Each participant in the plan will participate in the bonus pool based on the participant's award percentage. Each of Dr. Dosoretz, Mr. Carey and Mr. Travis have received an award percentage under the plan equal to 33.6%, 18.9% and 12.5%, respectively.

131


Table of Contents

        Payment of awards under the plan generally will be made as follows:

    If the applicable liquidity event is a Company sale, payment of awards under the plan generally will be made in cash within thirty (30) days following consummation of the Company sale. However, the Company reserves the right under the plan to make payment in the same form as the proceeds received by 21CI and its equity holders in connection with the Company sale if such sale proceeds do not consist of all cash.

    If the applicable liquidity event is an initial public offering, (i) one-third (1/3) of the award will be paid within forty-five (45) days following the effective date of the initial public offering, and (ii) the remaining two-thirds (2/3) of the award will be payable in two equal annual installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of the initial public offering. Payment of the award may be made in cash or stock or a combination thereof as determined by the plan administrator in its sole discretion. With respect to payment of the portion of the award payable on the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of the initial public offering, the Company may satisfy its payment obligation by granting a restricted stock award or a restricted stock unit award under an equity compensation plan of the Company then in effect.

        The right to receive payment under the plan generally is subject to a participant's continued employment with the Company or its affiliates through the date of payment. However, in the case of each of Dr. Dosoretz, Mr. Carey and Mr. Travis, in the event of his termination of employment by the Company without "cause", by him for "good reason" or as a result of his death or "disability" (each, as defined in his employment agreement), in any case, on or following the occurrence of the applicable liquidity event, any unvested portion of his award will become fully vested as of the date of such termination, and payment in respect thereof (if applicable) will be made to him within thirty (30) days following the date of such termination.

        In addition to the right to receive payment of the bonus amounts under the plan, each of Dr. Dosoretz, Mr. Carey and Mr. Travis will be entitled to a tax "gross up" payment payable in cash and intended to compensate each such executive for the loss of tax benefits resulting from the treatment of awards under the plan being subject to taxation as ordinary income as opposed to long-term capital gains income.

Directors Compensation

        The following tables provide information concerning certain of our employees who are not named executive officers but who serve as a director on the Company's Board of Directors. We do not provide any remuneration to the members of the Company's Board of Directors other than to the directors listed below and the compensatory arrangements with certain of our directors designated as a named executive officer other than for director services.

Dr. Rubenstein participated in the Company's annual cash incentive bonus award plan. See "Executive Compensation." For fiscal year 2012, Dr. Rubenstein was eligible to earn an annual cash performance incentive bonus award with a target bonus amount not less than $400,000 pursuant to a bonus plan based on factors including, without limitation, the Company's achievement of PF Adjusted EBITDA and net debt

    targets. The relative weight of each factor in determining the cash performance incentive bonus award was determined by the Company's Board of Directors. PF Adjusted EBITDA also includes certain adjustments, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash impairment losses and gains/losses on disposal of assets, minority interest, equity-based compensation, employee severance and other costs, acquisition costs, adjustment related to sale-leaseback accounting, litigation expenses, non-cash rent expense and other adjustments. For fiscal year 2012, the Company's Board of Directors assigned a 60% weighting to PF Adjusted EBITDA performance measure, a 20% weighting to net debt performance measure to encourage management to focus more on making long-term investments to grow our business, and a 20% weighting to achievement of specified objectives. The specified objectives were achieved in addition to the achievement of the PF Adjusted EBITDA and net debt targets at the minimum levels.

We entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Dr. Sheridan in connection with the Merger under which Dr. Sheridan provides corporate executive services and support in such areas as strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions, and physician, payer and hospital relationships. This agreement provides for a base salary of $300,000 and a performance incentive bonus at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, or it's Compensation Committee. Compensation associated with the personal use of the Company's corporate aircraft in 2013 and 2012 of $12,295 and $5,035, respectively and life insurance premiums paid by the Company in 2013 and 2012 of $88 and $367, respectively. Dr. Sheridan did not receive a discretionary bonus in fiscal 2013 and 2012.

(3)
We entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Dr. Rubenstein in conjunction with the Merger in which Dr. Rubenstein serves as Secretary and Medical Director. This agreement provides for a base salary of $400,000 and participation in the annual cash performance incentive bonus award plan as described above. In addition, we entered into a Physician Employment Agreement with Dr. Rubenstein also in connection with the Merger which provided for an annual base salary of $300,000. The Physician Employment Agreement was amended in February 2010, to reduce the annual base salary to $200,000. In 2013, Dr. Rubenstein received $46,074 pursuant to a production and ancillary bonus arrangement, a $70,000 discretionary bonus for his dedicated services in the field of radiation oncology and life insurance premiums paid by the Company in 2013 of $582 and an employer 401(k) match of $1,250. In 2012, Dr. Rubenstein received $27,042 pursuant to a production and ancillary bonus arrangement, a $50,000 discretionary bonus for his dedicated services in the field of radiation oncology and life insurance premiums paid by the Company in 2012 of $235. $6,036 of stock awards were granted on June 11, 2012 in connection with the initial grants under the 21CI equity-based incentive plan. In the event that either the Physician Employment Agreement or Executive Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason, Dr. Rubenstein's annual base salary under the respective continuing agreement shall be increased to $700,000.

In addition, the death benefits payable pursuant to any retirement, deferred compensation or other employee benefit plan maintained by the Company shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by Dr. Rubenstein in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan.

        Dr. Rubenstein' Executive Employment Agreement also provides that if his Physician Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason, but his Executive Employment Agreement is not, Dr. Rubenstein' annual base salary under the Executive Employment Agreement shall be increased to $700,000.

The Company may terminate the agreement due to a "disability" (as defined in the agreement) and the agreement will automatically terminate upon Dr. Rubenstein's death. If the Executive Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation to terminate the Physician Employment Agreement, without any liability or obligation to him, other than any Accrued Compensation. If the Executive Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason, but the Physician Employment Agreement is not terminated, the Physician Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except that (i) Dr. Rubenstein's base salary shall be increased to $700,000; (ii) Dr. Rubenstein shall be obligated to work five days per week rather than up to two days per week as currently contemplated under the Physician Employment Agreement, and (iii) Dr. Rubenstein shall be eligible to participate in such other bonus and benefit plans afforded other senior physicians of the Company and receive comparable fringe benefits to such other senior physicians.

        Dr. Rubenstein is also subject to covenants not to compete under the Physician Employment Agreement whereby in the event of the termination of this agreement for any reason, Dr. Rubenstein agrees not to directly or indirectly engage in the practice of radiation therapy or oncology, or otherwise compete with us (as defined in the agreement) for a period beginning on the date of the Physician Employment Agreement and ending on the later of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Physician Employment Agreement and (ii) three years after his termination date.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

        Our board of directors has not adopted a written policy or procedure for the review, approval and ratification of related party transactions, as the Audit Compliance Committee Charter already requires the Audit Compliance Committee to review all relationships and transactions in which 21C and its employees, directors and officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Based on all the relevant facts and circumstances, our Audit Committee will decide whether the related-party transaction is appropriate and will approve only those transactions that are in the best interests of the Company.

        Set forth below are certain transactions and relationships between us and our directors, executive officers and equityholders that have occurred during the last three years.

Administrative Services Agreements

        In California, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina, we have administrative services agreements with professional corporations owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders, who are licensed to practice medicine in such states. Drs. Dosoretz, Rubenstein and Michael J. Katin, M.D., a former director on the Company's Board of Directors as well as a director on the boards of directors of several of our subsidiaries and a holder of equity in 21CI, own interests in these professional corporations ranging from 0% to 100%.

        We have entered into these administrative services agreements in order to comply with the laws of such states which prohibit us from employing physicians. Our administrative services agreements generally obligate us to provide treatment center facilities, staff and equipment, accounting services, billing and collection services, management and administrative personnel, assistance in managed care

138


Table of Contents

contracting and assistance in marketing services. Terms of the agreements are typically 20-25 years and renew automatically for successive five-year periods, with certain agreements having 30 year terms and automatically renewing for successive one-year periods. The administrative services agreements also contain restrictive covenants that preclude the professional corporations from providing substantially similar healthcare services, hiring another management services organization and soliciting our employees, customers and clients for the duration of the agreement and some period after termination, usually three years. Monthly fees for such services may be computed on a fixed basis, percentage of net collections basis, or on a per treatment basis, depending on the particular state requirements. The administrative services fees paid to us by such professional corporations under the administrative services agreements were approximately $79.7 million, $58.8 million and $66.0 million, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

        In addition, we have stock transfer agreements with the professional corporations owned by Drs. Dosoretz, Rubenstein and Katin, which correspond to the administrative services agreements. The stock transfer agreements provide that (i) the term of the agreements corresponds to the respective administrative services agreement and any renewals thereof, (ii) the shareholders grant us a security interest in the shares held by them in the professional corporation, and (iii) the shareholders are prohibited from making any transfer of the shares held by them in the professional corporation, including through intestate transfer, except to qualified shareholders with our approval. Upon certain shareholder events of transfer (as defined in the stock transfer agreements), including a transfer of shares by any shareholder without our approval or the loss of a shareholder's license to practice radiation therapy in his or her applicable state, for a period of 30 days after giving notice to us of such event, the other shareholders have an opportunity to buy their pro-rata portion of the shares being transferred. If at the end of the 30-day period, any of the transferring shareholder's shares have not been acquired, then, for a period of 30 days, the professional corporation has the option to purchase all or a portion of the shares. If at the end of that 30- day period any of the transferring shareholder's shares have not been acquired, we must designate a transferee to purchase the remaining shares. The purchase price for the shares shall be the fair market value as determined by our auditors. Upon other events relating to the professional corporation, including uncured defaults, we shall designate a transferee to purchase all of the shares of the professional corporation.

Lease Arrangements with Entities Owned by Related Parties

        We lease certain of our treatment centers and other properties from partnerships which are majority-owned by Drs. Dosoretz, Rubenstein, Sheridan, Katin and Mantz and Dr. Fernandez, our Senior Vice President, Director of Regional Operations. As of December 31, 2013, Drs. Dosoretz, Rubenstein, Sheridan, Katin, Fernandez and Mantz had ownership interests in these entities ranging from 0% to 100%. These leases have expiration dates through December 31, 2028, and provide for annual lease payments and executory costs, ranging from approximately $58,000 to $1.8 million. The aggregate lease payments we made to these entities were approximately $15.8 million, $17.7 million and $18.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The rents were determined on the basis of the debt service incurred by the entities and a return on the equity component of the project's funding. In June 2004, we engaged an independent consultant to complete a fair market rent analysis for the real estate leases with the real estate entities owned by our directors, executive officers and other management employees. The consultant determined that, with one exception, the rents were at fair market value. We negotiated a rent reduction for the one exception to bring it to fair market value as determined by the consultant. Since 2004, an independent consultant is utilized to assist the Audit and Compliance Committee in determining fair market rental for any renewal or new rental arrangements with any affiliated party.

        In October 1999, we entered into a sublease arrangement with a partnership, which was 62.4% owned by Drs. Dosoretz, Rubenstein, Sheridan and Katin, to lease space to the partnership for an MRI

139


Table of Contents

center in Mount Kisco, New York. Sublease rentals paid by the partnership to the landlord were approximately $673,000, $733,000 and $755,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. In December 2012, Drs. Dosoretz, Rubenstein, Sheridan and Katin sold their interest in the partnership.

        We also maintain a construction company which provides remodeling and real property improvements at certain of our facilities. This construction company builds and constructs leased facilities on the lands owned by Drs. Dosoretz, Rubenstein, Sheridan and Katin. Payments received by us for building and construction fees were approximately $1.4 million, $1.7 million and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Amounts due to us for the construction services were approximately $1.3 million and $0.6 million at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

        In connection with our plans with respect to future development of new treatment centers on land owned by or contemplated to be acquired by land partnerships owned by certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders, the terms and conditions of the transactions, including leases of such property and in some instances buildout and equipment reimbursements by us are expected to be on terms and conditions as those of similar historic transactions.

Securityholders Agreement

        Each of our directors and executive officers who is a holder of equity units of 21CI, including Drs. Dosoretz, Sheridan, Rubenstein, Katin and Mantz and Messrs. Carey and Travis, is a party to an Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement with 21CI governing the rights and obligations of holders of units of 21CI. The Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement provides, among other things:

    for supermajority voting provisions with respect to certain corporate actions, including certain transactions with Vestar and those that disproportionately alter the rights, preferences or characteristics of Vestar's preferred units of 21CI disproportionately as compared to the other securityholders;

    that 21CI has a right of first refusal to purchase the securities of certain securityholders wishing to sell their interests;

    that if Vestar elects to consummate a transaction resulting in the sale of 21CI, the securityholders must consent to the transaction and take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause the consummation of the transaction;

    that the securityholders must cause the board of managers of 21CI to consist of four managers designated by Vestar and its affiliates, two independent managers designated by an affiliate of Vestar after consultation with Dr. Dosoretz, and two management managers, which currently are Mr. Carey and Dr. Sheridan, designated by Dr. Dosoretz after consultation with Vestar, for so long as Dr. Dosoretz is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to a reduction of the two management managers upon a decrease in the ownership interests in 21CI held by certain management holders;

    for restrictions on the transfer of the units of 21CI held by the securityholders;

    for participation rights to certain securityholders so that they may maintain their percentage ownership in 21CI in the event 21CI issues additional equity interests; and

    for registration rights, whereby, upon the request of certain majorities of certain groups of securityholders, 21CI must use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of its securities under the Securities Act.

Management Agreement

        Each of 21CI, 21CH and 21C are party to a Management Agreement with Vestar relating to certain advisory and consulting services Vestar provides to 21C, 21CI and 21CH. The Management Agreement provides for Vestar to receive an annual management fee equal to the greater of (i) $850,000 or (ii) an amount equal to 1.0% of 21C's consolidated EBITDA, which fee will be payable quarterly, in advance. Vestar is also entitled to a fee for any financial advisory or similar services it provides in connection with a sale of 21C or a transaction relating to any acquisition, divestiture or other transaction by or involving 21CI, 21CH, 21C or any of their respective subsidiaries, subject to approval by the management managers under the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement. 21CI, 21CH and 21C must indemnify Vestar and its affiliates against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of the performance by Vestar of its services pursuant to the Management Agreement, other than those that have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Vestar and/or its affiliates.

        The Management Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) such time when Vestar and its affiliates hold, directly or indirectly, less than 20% of the voting power of 21C's outstanding voting stock, (ii) a Public Offering (as defined in the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement) or (iii) a sale of 21CI, 21CH or 21C in accordance with the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement.

        During 2010, we paid $2.0 million to Vestar Capital Partners V, L.P. for additional transaction advisory services in respect to the incremental amendments to our senior secured credit facility, the additional $15.0 million of commitments to the revolver portion, and the complete refinancing of the senior subordinated notes due 2015. We incurred approximately $1.6 million, $1.2 million and $1.3 million in management fees to Vestar for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Management Stock Contribution and Unit Subscription Agreement

        In connection with the closing of the Merger, 21CI entered into various Management Stock Contribution and Unit Subscription Agreements with our management employees, including Drs. Dosoretz, Sheridan, Rubenstein, Katin and Mantz and Mr. Travis (each, an "Executive"), pursuant to which they exchanged certain shares of 21C's common stock held by them immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger or invested cash in 21C, in each case, in exchange for non-voting preferred equity units and Class A voting equity units of 21CI. Under the Management Stock Contribution and Unit Subscription Agreements, if an Executive's employment is terminated by death or disability, by 21CI and its subsidiaries without "cause" or by the Executive for "good reason" (each as defined in the respective Management Stock Contribution and Unit Subscription Agreement), or by 21CI or its subsidiaries for "cause" or by the Executive for any other reason except retirement, or the Executive violates the non-compete or confidentiality provisions, 21CI has the right and option to purchase, for a period of 90 days following the termination, any and all units held by the Executive or the Executive's permitted transferees, at the fair market value determined in accordance with the applicable Management Stock Contribution and Unit Subscription Agreement, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. Under Dr. Dosoretz's Management Stock Contribution and Unit Subscription Agreement, he also has certain put option rights to require 21CI to repurchase his non-voting preferred equity units and Class A voting equity units if, prior to a sale of 21CI, 21CH or 21C in accordance with the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement or a Public Offering (as defined in the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement), his employment is terminated without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason and at such time 21CI has met certain performance targets.

Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement

        On December 9, 2013, 21CI entered into the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement. The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement governs the affairs of 21CI and the conduct of its business, and sets forth certain terms of the equity units held by members of 21CI, including, among other things, the right of members to receive distributions, the voting rights of holders of equity units and the composition of the board of managers, subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement. Under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, Vestar's prior written consent is required for 21CI to engage in certain types of transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales and incur indebtedness and make capital expenditures, subject to exceptions and limitations. The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions relating to holders of units and managers and officers of 21CI.

        The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, which replaced the Third Amended LLC Agreement in its entirety, eliminated 21CI's Class L Units and Class EMEP Units and established new classes of equity incentive units in the form of Class M Units, Class N Units and Class O Units. Under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, 21CI now has seven classes of equity units outstanding: Preferred Units, Class A Units, Class G Units, Class M Units, Class MEP Units, Class N Units and Class O Units. Class A Units, of which Vestar and its affiliates control 81% of the outstanding units, are the only class of voting securities. 21CI may make distributions to its members in the sole discretion of its board of managers. Distributions to unitholders under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement are made pursuant to a distribution waterfall that provides for distributions first to holders of Preferred Units, up to a specified amount, with other holders receiving subsequent distributions based on specified priorities and limitations.

        The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement also provides that upon a public offering of 21CI (which provisions this offering will not trigger), the board of managers of 21CI may authorize a recapitalization of 21CI whereby unitholders will receive, in exchange for their existing 21CI units and subject to certain limitations, (i) cash, based on the amount that they would have been entitled to receive had an amount equal to the equity value of such units been distributed to unitholders of 21CI after taking into account all other distributions thereunder and/or (at the discretion of the board of managers) and (ii) common stock of the public company, or the right to receive common stock of the public company, based on the amount that they would have been entitled to receive had an amount equal to the equity value of such units been distributed to unitholders of 21CI after taking into account all other distributions thereunder.

Incentive Agreements

        On December 9, 2013, 21CI entered into incentive unit grant agreements ("Incentive Agreements") with each of Dr. Dosoretz, Mr. Carey and Mr. Travis. Pursuant to the Incentive Agreements, 21CI granted to Dr. Dosoretz 28,500 Class M Units and 32,000 Class O Units, Mr. Carey 15,000 Class M Units and 14,000 Class O Units and Mr. Travis 14,500 Class M Units and 8,750 Class O Units (collectively, the "Incentive Units").

        The Incentive Units were fully vested upon grant. If Dr. Dosoretz, Mr. Carey or Mr. Travis is terminated for cause, resigns without good reason or engages in a prohibited activity, all of his respective Incentive Units shall be immediately forfeited without consideration.

        Under the Incentive Agreements, in the event of a public offering of common stock of 21CH, Dr. Dosoretz, Mr. Carey and Mr. Travis will be entitled to receive 21CH common stock, with the number of shares based on the dollar amount that they would have been entitled to receive had an amount equal to the equity value of such shares been distributed to unitholders of 21CI after taking into account all other distributions thereunder. Two-thirds of such common stock would be awarded in the form of a restricted stock award or a restricted stock unit award under an equity compensation plan

142


Table of Contents

and such award shall vest 50% on the first anniversary of the date of such initial public offering and 50% on the second anniversary of the date of the initial public offering. Any Incentive Units not allocated as common stock shall be forfeited and cancelled and Dr. Dosoretz, Mr. Carey and Mr. Travis shall be issued restricted shares, performance shares and/or options to acquire shares pursuant to an equity compensation plan then in effect. The Board of Directors will determine number of shares, the exercise price and other terms and conditions thereto, in its sole discretion.

        In the event of (i) a public offering of 21CI, in which Dr. Dosoretz, Mr. Carey and Mr. Travis are entitled to receive shares of 21CH pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement and receive shares in the form of restricted stock awards or restricted stock unit awards, or (ii) the issuance of restricted shares of 21CH common stock, such restricted common stock shall vest 50% on the first anniversary of the date of such initial public offering and 50% on the second anniversary of the date of the initial public offering.

Employment Agreement and Certain Employees

        We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our executive officers and directors, which contain compensation, severance, non-compete and confidentiality provisions. In addition, we have employed, and continue to employ, directly or indirectly, immediate family members of certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders, including Dr. Dosoretz's brother (as further described below), Dr. Dosoretz's daughter, Amy Fox, M.D., and Dr. Rubenstein's brother, Paul Rubenstein. Alejandro Dosoretz received compensation under an executive employment agreement of approximately $0.5 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Amy Fox, M.D. received compensation under a physician employment agreement of approximately $339,000, $201,000 and $244,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Paul Rubenstein received compensation as our Director of Physician Contracting of approximately $173,000, $160,000 and $160,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

SFRO Letter Agreement

        In connection with the SFRO Joint Venture we entered into a letter agreement with Kishore Dass, M.D., Ben Han, M.D. and Rajiv Patel (together, the "Sellers"), whereby during the three year period following consummation of an initial public offering of 21CH, the Sellers may elect to exchange their common units in SFRO for common stock in 21CH at an applicable exchange rate provided for therein based on the equity value of SFRO as compared to the volume weighted average price of such 21CH common stock. In addition, in the event that we acquire a business in the state of Florida during the three year period following the SFRO Joint Venture date, and such business was not already known to us and was first identified to us by the Sellers, then the Sellers are entitled to contribute up to 20% of the equity financing for the acquisition of such business in exchange for an equity interest in such acquired business. This right is conditioned upon such Seller's then continuing employment with us.

Indemnification Agreements with Certain Officers and Directors

        We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that 21C will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee if, by reason of his or her status as a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of 21C or of any other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of 21C, such indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made, a party to in any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of 21C or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, against all expenses (including attorneys' and other professionals' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by

143


Table of Contents

him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such proceeding. The indemnitee shall not be indemnified unless he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of 21C, or for willful misconduct. In addition, the indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any such proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The indemnification agreements terminate upon the later of five years after the date that the indemnitee ceased to serve as a director and/or executive officer or the date of the final termination of any proceedings subject to the indemnification agreements. 21C has agreed not to bring any legal action against the indemnitee or his or her spouse or heirs after two years following the date the indemnitee ceases to be a director and/or executive officer of 21C. The indemnification agreements do not exclude any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled, including any rights arising under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of 21C, or the Florida Business Corporation Act.

        In connection with the Merger, we agreed that we would not alter or impair any existing indemnification provisions then in existence in favor of then current or former directors or officers as provided in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of 21C or as evidenced by indemnification agreements with us.

Medical Developers, LLC Acquisition

        On January 1, 2009, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Lisdey S.A. an Uruguay corporation, Alejandro Dosoretz, Dr. Daniel Dosoretz's brother, and Bernardo Dosoretz, Dr. Daniel Dosoretz's father, and the spouses of Alejandro Dosoretz and Bernardo Dosoretz, pursuant to which we purchased a 33% interest in MDLLC, an entity that is now the majority owner and operator of 26 freestanding radiation oncology practices (of which two are under development) through 15 legal entities South America, Central America and the Caribbean (which translates into us owning a 19% indirect ownership interest in the underlying radiation therapy treatment centers), and a 19% interest in Clinica de Radioterapia La Asuncion S.A., an entity that operates a treatment center in Guatemala. We purchased the 33% interest in MDLLC and the 19% interest in Clinica de Radioterapia La Asuncion S.A. at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.3 million, with a four-year call option to purchase the remaining 67% in MDLLC. In connection with our entry into the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, Alejandro Dosoretz entered into an employment agreement with an entity located in Argentina in which we hold interests as part of a joint venture, pursuant to which he receives an annual salary of approximately $180,000 for his services.

        On March 1, 2011, Radiation Therapy Services International, Inc. ("RTSII"), 21CI, 21C, and our wholly owned subsidiary Main Film B.V., entered into Membership Interest Purchase Agreements (the "Membership Interest Purchase Agreements") with Alejandro Dosoretz, and his spouse and Bernardo Dosoretz and his representative, to purchase the remaining 67% membership interest in MDLLC, as well as direct ownerships interests held by Alejandro Dosoretz and Bernardo Dosoretz in such entities and a 61% ownership interest in Clinica de Radioterapia La Asuncion, S.A.

        Under the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreements, RTSII and its subsidiaries purchased an additional 72% of the remaining interests in the entities, which when combined with RTSII's purchase of a 33% interest in MDLLC in January 2009, results in a 91% ownership interest in the entities (the "MDLLC Purchase"). The aggregate purchase price for the MDLLC Purchase was $82.7 million and was determined based upon a multiple of historical earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excess working capital. The purchase price was comprised of $47.5 million in cash, $16.05 million in notes, $16.25 million of equity in the form of 25 shares of our common stock, and issuance of real estate located in Costa Rica totaling $0.6 million. In addition to the purchase price paid at closing, Alejandro Dosoretz also had the right to receive an earnout payment from RTSII which was paid in August 2013, one-half in the form of $3.8 million principal amount of Subordinated Notes and one-half in the form of equity of 21CI. We recorded a contingent

144


Table of Contents

earnout accrual of approximately $2.3 million in our purchase price accounting for the MDLLC Purchase. In connection with the MDLLC Purchase, 21CI entered into the Contribution Agreement with Alejandro Dosoretz pursuant to which he exchanged the 25 shares of our common stock he received in the MDLLC Purchase for approximately 13,660 non-voting preferred equity units of 21CI and approximately 258,955 Class A voting equity units of 21CI, having an aggregate value of $16.25 million. Pursuant to one of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreements, Alejandro Dosoretz has the right to invest 10% (or more than 10% if approved by RTSII) of the cost of certain specific new radiation oncology centers of MDLLC and Clinica de Radioterapia La Asuncion S.A. in exchange for a 10% ownership interest in such new centers and an additional interest, which when combined with the 10% ownership interest, would entitle him to a return of his invested capital and 20% of the residual value of such new centers. RTSII has an option to buy such interests in the new centers on the third anniversary of the closing, and Alejandro Dosoretz has a right to sell such interests in the new centers on the fifth anniversary of the closing.

        In 2010, we provided medical equipment and parts inventory to MDLLC in the amount of approximately $769,000. As of December 31, 2010, amounts due from the sale of the equipment, including accrued interest were approximately $781,000. In connection with the acquisition of MDLLC, we have advanced up to $500,000 for the purchase and implementation of a new accounting software system.

Other Related Party Transactions

        We are a participating provider in an oncology network, of which Dr. Dosoretz has an ownership interest. We provide oncology services to members of the network. Payments received by us for services rendered in 2011, 2012 and 2013 were approximately $884,000, $1,273,000 and $1,445,000, respectively.

        We are party to a contract with Batan Insurance Company SPC, LTD, an entity which is owned by Drs. Dosoretz, Rubenstein, Sheridan and Katin to provide us with malpractice insurance coverage. We paid premium payments to Batan Insurance Company SPC, LTD of approximately $5.7 million, $3.9 million and $4.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholder of
21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholder of
21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows of 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. (formerly Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc.) for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the combined special-purpose financial statements of the Operating Entities of Medical Developers, LLC, majority-owned subsidiaries, which statements reflect total revenues of $60 million for the ten month period ended December 31, 2011. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the operating entities of Medical Developers LLC, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations of 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

        On December 9, 2013, Radiation Therapy Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, changed its name to 21st Century Oncology, Inc.

        21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc.) ("Parent"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries" and, collectively with the Subsidiaries, the "Company") is a leading global, physician-led provider of integrated cancer care ("ICC") services. The Company's physicians provide comprehensive, academic quality, cost-effective coordinated care for cancer patients in personal and convenient community settings (its "ICC model"). The Company provides academic center level care to cancer patients in a community setting and employs or affiliates with leading physicians and provides them with the advanced medical technology necessary to achieve optimal clinical outcomes across a full spectrum of oncologic disease in each local market. The Company's provision of care includes a full spectrum of cancer care services by employing and affiliating with physicians in the related specialties of medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. This innovative approach to cancer care through its ICC model enables the Company to collaborate across its physician base, integrate services and payments for related medical needs and disseminate best practices.

        The Company operates the largest integrated network of cancer treatment centers and affiliated physicians in the world which, as of December 31, 2013, was comprised of approximately 671 community-based physicians in the fields of radiation oncology, medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. The Company's physicians provide medical services at approximately 304 locations, including our 163 radiation therapy centers, of which 41 operate in partnership with health systems. The Company's cancer treatment centers in the United States are operated predominantly under the 21st Century Oncology brand and are strategically clustered in 31 local markets in 16 states. The Company's 33 international treatment centers in six Latin American markets are operated under the 21st Century Oncology brand or a local brand and, in many cases, are operated with local minority partners, including hospitals.

        The Company operates in 16 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina and West Virginia, as well as countries in Latin America, Central America and the Caribbean. The international centers are located in Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

        The Company is also engaged in providing capital equipment and business management services to oncology physician groups ("Groups") that treat patients at cancer centers ("Centers"). The Company owns the Centers' assets and provides services to the Groups through exclusive, long-term management services agreements. The Company provides the Groups with oncology business management expertise and new technologies including radiation oncology equipment and related treatment software. Business services that the Company provides to the Groups include non-physician clinical and administrative staff, operations management, purchasing, managed care contract negotiation assistance, reimbursement, billing and collecting, information technology, human resource and payroll, compliance, accounting, and treasury. Under the terms of the management service agreements, the Company is reimbursed for certain operating expenses of each Center and earns a monthly management fee from each Group. The management fee is primarily based on a predetermined percentage of each Group's

earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") associated with the provision of radiation therapy. The Company manages the radiation oncology business operations of one Group in Florida, six Groups in California, and one Group in Indiana. The Company's management fees range from 40% to 60% of EBITDA, with one Group in California whose fee ranges from 20% to 30% of collections.

(2) Liquidity

        The Company is highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $1.0 billion of long-term debt and other long-term liabilities outstanding. Over the next year, the interest and principal payments due under our various debt agreements are approximately $95.3 million and $17.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has $45.7 million, available on its revolving credit facility.

        The Company's high level of debt could have adverse effects on its business and financial condition. Specifically, the Company's high level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

    making it more difficult for the Company to satisfy obligations with respect to its debt;

    limiting the Company's ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements;

    requiring a substantial portion of the Company's cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes;

    increasing the Company's vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    limiting the Company's flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which the Company competes;

    placing the Company at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and

    increasing the Company's cost of borrowing.

    The Company's ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance its indebtedness depends on and is subject to its financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond the Company's control, including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets.

        The Company has several initiatives designed to increase revenue and profitability through strategic acquisitions, improvements in commercial payer contracting, development and expansion of our integrated cancer care model, and realignment of physician compensation arrangements.

        Although the Company is significantly leveraged, it expects that the current cash balances, liquidity from its revolver, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet working capital, capital expenditure, debt service, and other cash needs for the next year; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations and service its debt for the next year.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries and entities controlled by the Company through the Company's direct or indirect ownership of a majority interest and/or exclusive rights granted to the Company as the general partner of such entities. The Company has determined that none of its existing management services agreements with its Groups meet the requirements for consolidation of the Groups under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, the Company does not have an equity ownership interest in any of the Groups. Furthermore, the Company's service agreements specifically do not give the Company "control" of the Groups as the Company does not have exclusive authority over decision making and the Company does not have a financial interest in the Groups. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Variable Interest Entities

        The Company has evaluated certain radiation oncology practices in order to determine if they are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). This evaluation resulted in the Company determining that certain of its radiation oncology practices were potential VIEs. For each of these practices, the Company has evaluated (1) the sufficiency of the fair value of the entity's equity investments at risk to absorb losses, (2) that, as a group, the holders of the equity investments at risk have (a) the direct or indirect ability through voting rights to make decisions about the entity's significant activities, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity and that their obligations are not protected directly or indirectly, and (c) the right to receive the expected residual return of the entity, and (3) substantially all of the entity's activities do not involve or are not conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights in terms of its obligation to absorb the expected losses or its right to receive expected residual returns of the entity, or both. The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), 810, Consolidation (ASC 810), requires a company to consolidate VIEs if the company is the primary beneficiary of the activities of those entities. Certain of the Company's radiation oncology practices are VIEs and the Company has a variable interest in each of these practices through its administrative services agreements. Other of the Company's radiation oncology practices (primarily consisting of partnerships) are VIEs and the Company has a variable interest in each of these practices because the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without the additional subordinated financial support provided by its members.

        In accordance with ASC 810, the Company consolidates certain radiation oncology practices where the Company provides administrative services pursuant to long-term management agreements. The noncontrolling interests in these entities represent the interests of the physician owners of the oncology practices in the equity and results of operations of these consolidated entities. The Company, through its variable interests in these practices, has the power to direct the activities of these practices that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the Company would absorb a majority of the expected losses of these practices should they occur. Based on these determinations, the Company has consolidated these radiation oncology practices in its consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

        The Company could be obligated, under the terms of the operating agreements governing certain of its joint ventures, upon the occurrence of various fundamental regulatory changes and or upon the occurrence of certain events outside of the Company's control to purchase some or all of the

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

noncontrolling interests related to the Company's consolidated subsidiaries. These repurchase requirements would be triggered by, among other things, regulatory changes prohibiting the existing ownership structure. While the Company is not aware of events that would make the occurrence of such a change probable, regulatory changes are outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interests subject to these repurchase provisions have been classified outside of equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

        As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the combined total assets included in the Company's balance sheet relating to the VIEs were approximately $71.3 and $62.9 million, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company was the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, 23 and 24 VIEs, which operate 46 and 41 centers, respectively. Any significant amounts of assets and liabilities related to the consolidated VIEs are identified parenthetically on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The assets are owned by, and the liabilities are obligations of the VIEs, not the Company. Only the VIE's assets can be used to settle the liabilities of the VIE. The assets are used pursuant to operating agreements established by each VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of the Company's debts. In the states of California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina, the Company's treatment centers are operated as physician office practices. The Company typically provides technical services to these treatment centers in addition to administrative services. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 approximately 18.4%, 19.4% and 18.0% of the Company's net patient service revenue, respectively, was generated by professional corporations with which it has administrative services agreements.

        As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company also held equity interests in six and five VIEs, respectively, for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Those VIEs consist of partnerships that primarily provide radiation oncology services. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it does not retain the power and rights in the operations of the entities. The Company's investments in the unconsolidated VIEs are approximately $2.6 million and $0.6 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, with ownership interests ranging between 28.5% and 50.1% general partner or equivalent interest. Accordingly, substantially all of these equity investment balances are attributed to the Company's noncontrolling interests in the unconsolidated partnerships. The Company's maximum risk of loss related to the investments in these VIEs is limited to the equity interest.

Net Patient Service Revenue and Allowances for Contractual Discounts

        The Company has agreements with third-party payers that provide for payments to the Company at amounts different from its established rates. Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts due from patients, third-party payers and others for services rendered. Net patient service revenue is recognized as services are provided.

        Medicare and other governmental programs reimburse physicians based on fee schedules, which are determined by the related government agency. The Company also has agreements with managed care organizations to provide physician services based on negotiated fee schedules. Accordingly, the revenues reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements are recorded at the amount that is expected to be received.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from Medicare, Medicaid, and other payers that receive discounts from its standard charges. The Company must estimate the total amount of these discounts to prepare its consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and subject to interpretation and adjustment. The Company estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payer class basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from the Company's estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

        On an annual basis the Company performs a hindsight analysis in reviewing estimates to its contractual adjustments and bad debt allowance. The Company's review of the estimates are based on a full year look-back of actual adjustments taken in the calculation of the contractual allowance and bad debt allowance. Adjustments to revenue related to changes in prior period estimates increased net patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 approximately 0.5%, 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively of the net patient service revenue for each of the respective periods.

        For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, approximately 45%, 45%, and 48%, respectively, of net patient service revenue related to services rendered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is potentially subject to a review by regulatory agencies concerning the accuracy of billings and sufficiency of supporting documentation of procedures performed. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is a possibility that such estimates will change by a significant amount in the near term.

        Net patient service revenue is presented net of provisions for contractual adjustments. In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides services to patients who are financially unable to pay for their care. Accounts written off as charity and indigent care are not recognized in net patient service revenue. The Company's policy is to write off a patient's account balance upon determining that the patient qualifies under certain charity care and/or indigent care policies. The Company's policy includes the completion of an application for eligibility for charity care. The determination for charity care eligibility is based on income relative to federal poverty guidelines, family size, and assets available to the patient. A sliding scale discount is then applied to the balance due with discounts up to 100%. The Company estimates the costs of charity care services it provides by developing a ratio of foregone charity care revenues compared to total revenues and applying that ratio to the costs of providing services. Costs of providing services includes select direct and indirect costs such as salaries and benefits, medical supplies, facility rent expenses, other operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, provision for doubtful accounts, and interest expense. The Company's estimated cost to provide charity care services is approximately $27.7 million, $16.5 million, and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Funds received to offset or subsidize charity services provided were approximately $1.9 million, $0.4 million, and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Management Fees

        The Company's physician groups receive payments for their services and treatments rendered to patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payors and self-pay. Revenue consists primarily of

net patient service revenue that is recorded based upon established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments. Third-party payors include private health insurance, as well as related payments for co-insurance and co-payments. Estimates of contractual allowances for patients with healthcare coverage are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Revenue related to uninsured patients and co-payment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and contractual discounts). The Company also records a provision for bad debts based primarily on historical collection experience related to these uninsured accounts to record the net self-pay accounts receivable at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. The affiliated physician groups assign their accounts receivable to the Company. Accounts receivable and the related cash flows upon collection of these accounts receivable are reported net of estimated allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments.

        Management fees are recorded at the amount earned by the Company under the management services agreements. Services rendered by the respective Groups are billed by the Company, as the exclusive billing agent of the Groups, to patients, third-party payors, and others. The Company's management fees are dependent on the EBITDA (or in one case, revenue) of each treatment center. As such, revenues generated by the Groups significantly impact the amount of management fees recognized by the Company. If differences between the Groups' revenues and the expected reimbursement are identified based on actual final settlements, there would be an impact to the Company's management fees. Amounts distributed to the Groups for their services under the terms of the management services agreements totaled $3.8 million, for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 amounts payable to the Groups for their services of $2.6 million was included in accrued expenses.

Cost of Revenues

        The cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, are approximately $530.6 million, $481.6 million, and $419.8 million, respectively. The cost of revenues includes costs related to expenses incurred for the delivery of patient care. These costs include salaries and benefits of physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, radiation technicians, etc., medical supplies, facility rent expenses, other operating expenses, depreciation and amortization.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

        Accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are reported net of estimated allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized and primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payers and patients. To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Approximately $24.2 million and $18.4 million of accounts receivable were due from the Medicare and Medicaid programs at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The credit risk for any other concentrations of receivables is limited due to the large number of insurance companies and other payers that provide payments for services. Management does not believe that there are other significant concentrations of accounts receivable from any particular payer that would subject the Company to any significant credit risk in the collection of its accounts receivable.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon management's assessment of historical and expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in federal and state governmental health care coverage, and other collection indicators. The primary tool used in management's assessment is an annual, detailed review of historical collections and write-offs of accounts receivable. The results of the detailed review of historical collections and write-off experience, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions, are used to evaluate the allowance amount for the current period. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Company's policies.

        Adjustments to bad debt expense related to changes in prior period estimates increased bad debt expense by $1.6 million, for the year ended December 31, 2013, decreased bad debt expense by approximately $0.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, and increased bad debt expense by approximately $1.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        The Company's policy is to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for possible impairment at least annually at October 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An intangible asset with an indefinite life (a major trade name) is evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying value. Fair value is estimated as the discounted value of future revenues arising from a trade name using a royalty rate that an independent party would pay for use of that trade name. An impairment charge is recorded if the trade name's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill assigned to that reporting unit. Fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using a combination of income-based and market-based valuation methodologies. Under the income approach, forecasted cash flows of a reporting unit are discounted to a present value using a discount rate commensurate with the risks of those cash flows. Under the market approach, the fair value of a reporting unit is estimated based on the revenues and earnings multiples of a group of comparable public companies and from recent transactions involving comparable companies. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired by the Company in business combinations. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. No goodwill impairment loss was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2013. Goodwill impairment was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of approximately $80.6 million, and $298.3 million, respectively.

        Intangible assets consist of management fee agreements, trade names (indefinite life and amortizable), noncompete agreements, hospital contracts and licenses. Management fee agreements are amortized over the term of each respective agreement, including renewal options which range from 4.1 to 15.2 years using the straight-line method. Indefinite life trade names are tested at least annually for impairment. Noncompete agreements, hospital contracts and licenses are amortized over the life of the agreement (which typically ranges from 1.6 to 18.5 years) using the straight-line method. No intangible asset impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Intangible asset impairment loss was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2011 of approximately $58.2 million relating to the Company's trade name and the Company's rebranding initiatives.

Derivative Agreements

        The Company recognizes all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship based on its effectiveness in hedging against the exposure. Derivatives that do not meet hedge accounting requirements must be adjusted to fair value through operating results. If the derivative meets hedge accounting requirements, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through operating results or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in operating results. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

Interest rate swap agreements

        The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate senior secured credit facility. The interest rate swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate interest payments for fixed interest payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amounts of interest rate swap agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is recognized in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The related accrued payable is included in other long term liabilities.

        On May 27, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for its $407.0 million of floating rate senior debt governed by the Credit Agreement dated February 21, 2008 (senior secured credit facility). The Company designated this derivative financial instrument as a cash flow hedge (i.e., the interest rate swap agreement hedges the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to interest rate risk). The initial notional amount of the swap agreement was

$290.6 million with amounts scaling down during various quarters throughout the term of the interest rate swap agreement to $116.0 million. The effect of this agreement is to fix the interest rate exposure to 3.67% plus a margin on $116.0 million of the Company's senior secured credit facility. The interest rate swap agreement was scheduled to expire on March 30, 2012. In December 2011, the Company terminated the interest rate swap agreement and paid approximately $1.9 million representing the fair value of the interest rate hedge at time of termination. No ineffectiveness was recorded as a result of the termination of the interest rate swap agreement. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the terminated interest rate swap agreement of approximately $84,000, net of tax was amortized through interest expense through the original term of the interest rate swap agreement on March 30, 2012. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 no amount of the floating rate senior debt was subject to an interest rate swap.

        In July 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company fixed the interest rate on the notional amounts totaling approximately $116.0 million of the Company's senior secured term credit facility, effective as of March 30, 2012. The rate and maturity of the interest rate swap agreements were 0.923% plus a margin, which was 475 basis points, and was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. In May 2012, the Company terminated the interest rate swap agreements and paid approximately $1.0 million representing the fair value of the interest rate hedges at time of termination. No ineffectiveness was recorded as a result of the termination of the interest rate swap agreement. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the terminated interest rate swap agreements of approximately $1.0 million, net of tax, is reflected as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        The swaps are derivatives and are accounted for under ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The fair value of the swap agreements, representing the estimated amount that the Company would pay to a third party assuming the Company's obligations under the interest rate swap agreements terminated at December 31, 2012 and 2011, was approximately $-0- million and $0.7 million, respectively, which is included in other long term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of our interest rate swap was determined using the income approach that considers various inputs and assumptions, including LIBOR swap rates, cash flow activity, yield curves and other relevant economic measures, all of which are observable market inputs that are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value also incorporates valuation adjustments for credit risk. No ineffectiveness was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

        Since the Company has the ability to elect different interest rates on the debt at each reset date, and the senior secured credit facility contains certain prepayment provisions, the hedging relationships do not qualify for use of the shortcut method under ASC 815. Therefore, the effectiveness of the hedge relationship is assessed on a quarterly basis during the life of the hedge through regression analysis. The entire change in fair market value is recorded in equity, net of tax, as other comprehensive income (loss).

Foreign currency derivative contracts

        Foreign currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could impact the Company's results from operations. The Company is exposed to a significant amount of foreign exchange risk, primarily between the U.S. dollar and the Argentine Peso. This exposure relates to the provision of radiation oncology services to patients at the Company's Latin American operations and purchases of goods and services in foreign currencies. The Company enters into foreign exchange option contracts to convert a significant portion of the Company's forecasted foreign currency denominated net income into U.S. dollars to limit the adverse impact of a potential weakening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar. On April 26, 2013 the Company entered into a foreign exchange option contract maturing on March 31, 2014 to replace the contract maturing on December 31, 2013. Because the Company's Argentine forecasted foreign currency denominated net income is expected to increase commensurate with inflationary expectations, any adverse impact on net income from a weakening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar is limited to the cost of the option contracts, which was approximately $0.2 million in aggregate at inception of the contracts. Under the Company's foreign currency management program, the Company expects to monitor foreign exchange rates and periodically enter into forward contracts and other derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

        These programs reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange movements. The Company's current practice is to use currency derivatives without hedge accounting designation. The maturity of these instruments generally occurs within twelve months. Gains or losses resulting from the fair valuing of these instruments are reported in (gain) loss on forward currency derivative contracts on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 the Company incurred a loss of approximately $0.5 million, $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, relating to foreign currency derivative program. The fair value of the foreign currency derivative is recorded in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of the foreign currency derivative was approximately $22,000 and $0.3 million, respectively.

        The following represents the current foreign currency derivative agreements as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

        As of April 2014, a depreciation of approximately 23% percent of the Argentine peso against the US dollar has occurred in Argentina. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the devaluation will have in the profit and loss accounts for fiscal year 2014. A depreciation of this currency against the US dollar will decrease the US dollar equivalent of the amounts derived from these operations reported in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, currency fluctuations may affect the comparability of the results of operations between financial periods.

Professional and General Liability Claims

        The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to patient treatment, employment practices, and personal injuries. To cover these types of claims, the Company maintains general liability and professional liability insurance in excess of self-insured retentions through commercial insurance carriers in amounts that the Company believes to be sufficient for its operations, although, potentially, some claims may exceed the scope of coverage in effect. The Company expenses an estimate of the costs it expects to incur under the self-insured retention exposure for general and professional liability claims. The Company maintains insurance for the majority of its physicians up to $1 million on individual malpractice claims and $3 million on aggregate claims on a claims-made basis. The Company purchases medical malpractice insurance from an insurance company partially owned by a related party. The Company's reserves for professional and general liability claims are based upon independent actuarial calculations, which consider historical claims data, demographic considerations, severity factors, industry trends, and other actuarial assumptions.

        Actuarial calculations include a large number of variables that may significantly impact the estimate of ultimate losses that are recorded during a reporting period. Professional judgment is used by the actuary in determining the loss estimate, by selecting factors that are considered appropriate by the actuary for the Company's specific circumstances. Changes in assumptions used by the Company's actuary with respect to demographics, industry trends, and judgmental selection of factors may impact the Company's recorded reserve levels.

        The amount accrued for professional and general liability claims as of the consolidated balance sheet dates reflects the current estimates of all outstanding losses, including incurred but not reported losses, based upon actuarial calculations. The loss estimates included in the actuarial calculations may change in the future based upon updated facts and circumstances. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the amount accrued for incurred but not reported professional liability claims was $4.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively. In accordance with ASU 2010-24, amounts accrued for reported claims as of December 31, 2013 total approximately $6.5 million. Of the approximate $6.5 million, approximately $3.2 million is recorded as other current liabilities and approximately $3.3 million is reported as other long-term liabilities. In addition the Company has recorded estimated insurance recoveries totaling approximately $8.6 million as of December 31, 2013. Of the approximate $8.6 million of estimated insurance recoveries, approximately $5.3 million is recorded as other current assets and approximately $3.3 million is reported as other long-term assets. Amounts accrued for reported claims as of December 31, 2012 total approximately $5.6 million. Of the approximate $5.6 million, approximately $2.8 million is recorded as other current liabilities and approximately $2.8 million is reported as other long-term liabilities. In addition the Company has recorded estimated insurance recoveries totaling approximately $5.6 million as of December 31, 2012. Of the approximate $5.6 million of estimated insurance recoveries, approximately $2.8 million is recorded as other current assets and approximately $2.8 million is reported as other long-term assets.

Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities

        The Company currently maintains equity interests in 7 treatment center facilities with ownership interests ranging from 50.0% to 90%. Since the Company controls 50% or more of the voting interest

in these facilities, the Company consolidates these treatment centers. The noncontrolling interests represent the equity interests of outside investors in the equity and results of operations of these consolidated entities.

        In addition, in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates certain radiation oncology practices where the Company provides administrative services pursuant to long-term management agreements. The noncontrolling interests in these entities represent the interests of the physician owners of the oncology practices in the equity and results of operations of these consolidated entities.

        On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. These changes require, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included within equity separate from the parent's equity; consolidated net income be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent's and noncontrolling interest's shares; and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all be reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        The Company could be obligated, under the terms of the operating agreements governing certain of its joint ventures, upon the occurrence of various fundamental regulatory changes and/or upon the occurrence of certain events outside of the Company's control to purchase some or all of the noncontrolling interests related to the Company's consolidated subsidiaries. These repurchase requirements would be triggered by, among other things, regulatory changes making the existing ownership structure illegal. While the Company is not aware of events that would make the occurrence of such a change probable, regulatory changes are outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interests subject to these repurchase provisions have been classified outside of equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Restricted Cash

        Restricted cash includes approximately $3.5 million relating to a claim reserve account for the purpose of addressing any claims post OnCure bankruptcy. Any balance of the claim reserve account will be released to the OnCure note-holders, once remaining claims have been settled.

        Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of parts and supplies and medical drugs are determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives utilizing the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the life of the lease. Amortization of leased assets is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense as incurred, while equipment replacement and betterments are capitalized.

Major asset classifications and useful lives are as follows:

Buildings and leasehold improvements

    10 - 50 years  

Office, computer, and telephone equipment

    3 - 10 years  

Medical and medical testing equipment

    5 - 10 years  

Automobiles and vans

    5 years  

        The weighted-average useful life of medical and medical testing equipment is 8.6 and 9.3 years in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or related group of assets, may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Fair value estimates are derived from independent appraisals, established market values of comparable assets, or internal calculations of estimated future net cash flows. The Company's estimates of future cash flows are based on assumptions and projections it believes to be reasonable and supportable for a market.

Net Loss Per Common Share

        The Company calculates earnings per common share using the if-converted method. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. The effects of

Recent Pronouncements

        In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, (ASU 2011-04), which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is applied prospectively. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim period within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012 which had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with the total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):

Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, (ASU 2011-12). ASU 2011-12 updates ASU 2011-05 by deferring requirements to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income separately with their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 should be applied retrospectively. The amendments pursuant to both ASU 2011-05 and 2011-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim period within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 in its consolidated financial statements.

        In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities, (ASU 2011-07). ASU 2011-07 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to require health care entities that recognize significant amounts of patient service revenue at the time services are rendered even though they do not assess the patient's ability to pay to present the provision for bad debts related to patient service revenue as a deduction from patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts) on their statement of operations. Additionally, those health care entities are required to provide enhanced disclosure about their policies for recognizing revenue and assessing bad debts. The amendments also require disclosures of patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts) as well as qualitative and quantitative information about changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts. ASU 2011-07 is applied retrospectively and disclosures relating to ASU 2011-07 are applied prospectively. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim period within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has evaluated ASU 2011-07 and determined that the requirements of this ASU are not applicable to the Company as the ultimate collection of patient service revenue is generally determinable at the time of service, and therefore, the ASU had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11), which amends ASC 740 to clarify balance sheet presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2014. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Advertising Costs

        Advertising costs are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred and amounted to approximately $3.9 million, $3.4 million and $3.6 million, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

        Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are recorded as an element of equity but are excluded from net loss. The Company's other comprehensive income (loss) is composed of unrealized

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income 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 of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

        ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.

        21st Century Oncology Investments, LLC ("21CI"), the shareholder of 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. adopted equity-based incentive plans in February 2008 and June 2012, and issued units of limited liability company interests designated Class B Units, Class C Units, Class MEP and Class EMEP Units pursuant to such plans. The Class B Units and Class C Units were modified and replaced under the June 2012 equity plan with the issuance of the Class MEP Units and Class EMEP Units. The units are limited liability company interests and are available for issuance to the Company's employees and members of the Board of Directors for incentive purposes. For purposes of determining the compensation expense associated with these grants, management valued the business enterprise using a variety of widely accepted valuation techniques, which considered a number of factors such as the financial performance of the Company, the values of comparable companies and the lack of marketability of the Company's equity at grant date. The Company then used the option pricing method to determine the fair value of these units at the time of grant using valuation assumptions consisting of the expected term in which the units will be realized; a risk-free interest rate equal to the U.S. federal treasury bond rate consistent with the term assumption; expected dividend yield, for which there is none; and expected volatility based on the historical data of equity instruments of comparable companies. The Company also uses the probability-weighted expected return method ("PWERM") to determine the fair value of certain units at the time of grant. Under the PWERM, the value of the units is estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the enterprise assuming various future outcomes (exits) as well as the rights of each unit class. In developing assumptions for the various exit scenarios, management considered the Company's ability to achieve certain growth and profitability milestone in order to maximize shareholder value at the time of potential exit. Generally, for Class MEP units awarded, 66.6% vest upon issuance, while the remaining 33.4% vest on the 18 month anniversary of the issuance date. There are no performance conditions for the MEP units to vest. For newly hired individuals after January 1, 2012, vesting occurs at 33.3% in years one and two, and 33.4% in year three of the individual's hire date. Vesting of the Class EMEP units is dependent upon achievement of an implied equity value target. The right to receive proceeds from vested units is dependent upon the occurrence of a qualified sale or liquidation event. The estimated fair value of the units, less an assumed forfeiture rate, are recognized in expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards for the Class MEP Units and the accelerated attribution method approach is utilized for the Class EMEP Units.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Executive Bonus Plan

        On December 9, 2013, the Company adopted the Executive Bonus Plan to provide certain senior level employees of the Company with an opportunity to receive additional compensation based on the Equity Value, as defined in the plan and described in general terms as noted below, of 21CI. Upon the occurrence of the first company sale or initial public offering to occur following the effective date of the plan, a bonus pool was established equal in value of 5% of the Equity Value of 21CI, subject to a maximum bonus pool of $12.7 million. Each participant in the plan will participate in the bonus pool based on the participant's award percentage.

        Payments of awards under the plan generally will be made as follows:

        If the applicable liquidity event is a company sale, payment of the awards under the plan will be made within 30 days following consummation of the company sale in the same form as the proceeds received by 21CI. If the applicable liquidity event is an initial public offering, one-third of the award will be paid within 45 days following the effective date of the initial public offering, and the remaining two-thirds of the award will be payable in two equal annual installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of the initial public offering. Payment of the award may be made in cash or stock or a combination thereof.

        For purposes of the plan, the term "Equity Value" generally refers to: (i) if the applicable liquidity event is a company sale, the aggregate fair market value of the cash and non-cash proceeds received by 21CI and its equity holders in connection with the sale of equity interests in the Company; or (ii) if the applicable liquidity event is an initial public offering, the aggregate fair market value of 100% of the common stock of the Company on the effective date of its initial public offering.

Grants under 2013 Plan

        On December 9, 2013, 21CI entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "Fourth Amended LLC Agreement") which replaced the Third Amended LLC Agreement in its entirety. The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of incentive equity units (such new units, together with Class MEP Units, as modified under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, the "2013 Plan") in 21CI in the form of Class M Units, Class N Units and Class O Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, eliminated 21CI's Class L Units and Class EMEP Units, and modified the distribution entitlements for holders of each existing class of equity units of 21CI.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

(6) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

2013

        The Company completed its annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on October 1, 2013. The Company's October 1, 2013 goodwill impairment test was completed for each of its nine reporting units based on (i) assessment of current and expected future economic conditions, (ii) trends, strategies and forecasted cash flows at each reporting unit and (iii) assumptions similar to those that market participants would make in valuing the Company's reporting units. In performing this test, the Company assessed the implied fair value of its goodwill. It was determined that the implied fair value of goodwill was greater than the carrying amount, and as a result the Company did not record a noncash impairment charge. In October 2013, in conjunction with the acquisition of OnCure, the Company changed its internal reporting structure and as a result, aggregated its eight US Domestic reporting units into two US Domestic reporting units. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has identified three reporting units: International and two reporting units that comprise the US Domestic operating segment.

2012

        On July 6, 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), the government agency responsible for administering the Medicare program released its 2013 preliminary physician fee schedule. The preliminary physician fee schedule would have resulted in a 15% rate reduction on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers. CMS provided a 60 day comment period and the final rule was released on November 1, 2012. The final rule by CMS provided for a 7% rate reduction on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers effective January 1, 2013. The Company completed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets based on the Company's estimate of the proposed CMS cuts at September 30, 2012. In

performing this test, the Company assessed the implied fair value of its goodwill. It was determined that the implied fair value of goodwill was less than the carrying amount, and as a result the Company recorded an impairment charge for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill that would be recognized in a hypothetical business combination. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including the unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. Based on (i) assessment of current and expected future economic conditions, (ii) trends, strategies and forecasted cash flows at each reporting unit and (iii) assumptions similar to those that market participants would make in valuing the Company's reporting units, the Company's management determined that the carrying value of goodwill in certain U.S. Domestic markets, including Mid East United States (Northwest Florida, North Carolina, Southeast Alabama, South Carolina), Central South East United States (Delmarva Peninsula, Central Maryland, Central Kentucky, South New Jersey), California, South West United States (central Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada), and Southwest Florida regions exceeded their fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded noncash impairment charges in the U.S. Domestic reporting segment totaling $69.8 million in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. In addition, during the third quarter of 2012, an impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million, reported in impairment loss on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, was recognized related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements of a planned radiation treatment facility office closing in Monroe, Michigan in the Northeast U.S. region.

        During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company completed its annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In performing this test, the Company assessed the implied fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $11.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily relating to goodwill impairment in certain of our reporting units, including Central South East United States (Delmarva Peninsula, Central Maryland, Central Kentucky, South New Jersey), and Southwest Florida of approximately $10.8 million. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2012, an impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million was recognized related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements in the Delmarva Peninsula local market and approximately $0.2 million related to a consolidated joint venture in the Central Maryland local market.

2011

        During the second quarter of 2011, certain of the Company's regions' patient volume had stabilized in their respective markets. Although the Company had a stabilization of patient volume, the Company was reviewing its anticipated growth expectations in certain of the reporting units and was considering whether it was necessary to adjust expectations for the remainder of the year. During the third quarter of 2011, Company determined that its previously projected cash flows for certain of its reporting units were not likely to be achieved and as a result revised these estimated cash flows and obtained a valuation analysis and appraisal to enable the Company to determine if all or a portion of the recorded goodwill or any portion of other long-lived assets were impaired. The reporting units affected were affected by the deterioration in the housing market and the continued high unemployment rates, as well as the local economic conditions in the communities the Company serves.

        During the third quarter of 2011, the Company completed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of its review of growth expectations and the release of the final rule issued on the physician fee schedule for 2012 and 2013 by CMS on November 1, 2011, which included certain rate reductions on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers. In performing this test, the Company assessed the implied fair value of its goodwill and intangible assets. It was determined that the implied fair value of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets was less than the carrying amount, and as a result the Company recorded an impairment charge. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including the unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. Based on (i) assessment of current and expected future economic conditions, (ii) trends, strategies and forecasted cash flows at each reporting unit and (iii) assumptions similar to those that market participants would make in valuing the Company's reporting units, the Company's management determined that the carrying value of goodwill and trade name in certain U.S. Domestic markets, including North East United States (New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeast Michigan), California, South West United States (central Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada), the Florida east coast, Northwest Florida and Southwest Florida regions exceeded their fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded noncash impairment charges in the U.S. Domestic reporting segment totaling $234.9 million in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the third quarter of 2011.

        During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company decided to rebrand its current trade name of 21st Century Oncology. As a result of the rebranding initiative and concurrent with the Company's annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company incurred an impairment loss of approximately $121.6 million. Approximately $49.8 million of the $121.6 million related to the trade name impairment as a result of the rebranding initiative. The remaining $71.8 million of impairment was related to goodwill in certain of the Company's reporting units, including North East United States, (New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeast Michigan), and California, Southwest U.S. (Arizona and Nevada). The remaining domestic U.S. trade name of approximately $4.6 million will be amortized over its remaining useful life through December 31, 2012. The Company incurred approximately $0.9 million in amortization expense during the fourth quarter.

        The estimated fair value measurements for all periods presented were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). For goodwill, the primary valuation technique used was an income methodology based on management's estimates of forecasted cash flows for each reporting unit, with those cash flows discounted to present value using rates commensurate with the risks of those cash flows. In addition, management used a market-based valuation method involving analysis of market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for (i) a group of comparable public companies and (ii) recent transactions, if any, involving comparable companies. For trade name intangible assets, management used the income-based relief-from-royalty valuation method in which fair value is the discounted value of forecasted royalty revenues arising from a trade name using a royalty rate that an independent party would pay for use of that trade name. Assumptions used by management were similar to those that management believes would be used by market participants performing valuations of these regional divisions. Management's assumptions were based on analysis of current and expected future economic conditions and the strategic plan for each reporting unit.

        In addition to the goodwill and trade name impairment losses noted above, an impairment loss of approximately $2.7 million, reported in impairment loss on the condensed consolidated statements of

The estimated fair value measurements were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), including continued operating losses, declining operating cash flow and the limited use of the CyberKnife technology in treating cancer patients. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2011, an impairment loss of approximately $0.8 million, reported in impairment loss on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, was recognized related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements of a planned radiation treatment facility office closing in Baltimore, Maryland in the Central South East U.S. region and $0.7 million impairment on certain deposits on equipment.

(7) Acquisitions and other arrangements

        In January 2009, the Company purchased from family members of a related party (i) a 33% interest in a joint venture that held a majority equity interest in and managed 26 radiation therapy treatment centers in South America, Central America and the Caribbean and (ii) a 19% interest in a joint venture, which operates a treatment center in Guatemala, for approximately $10.4 million, subject to final determination of the purchase price based on a multiple of historical earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. In January 2010, the Company finalized the amount due for its 33% interest in the joint venture and paid an additional $1.9 million. The transaction had been accounted for under the equity method.

        In 2010, the Company held a 33% interest in Medical Developers and on March 1, 2011, the Company purchased the remaining 67% interest in Medical Developers, LLC ("MDLLC") from Bernardo Dosoretz as well as interests in the subsidiaries of MDLLC from Alejandro Dosoretz and Bernardo Dosoretz, resulting in an ownership interest of approximately 91% in the underlying radiation oncology practices located in South America, Central America and the Caribbean. The Company also purchased an additional 61% interest in Clinica de Radioterapia La Asuncion S.A. from Bernardo Dosoretz, resulting in an ownership interest of 80%. The acquisition of the remaining interests expands the Company's presence into a new regional division. The Company consummated these acquisitions for a combined purchase price of approximately $82.7 million, comprised of $47.5 million in cash, 25 common units of Parent immediately exchanged for 13,660 units of 21CI's non-voting preferred equity units and 258,955 units of 21CI's class A equity units totaling approximately $16.25 million, and issuance of a 97/8% note payable, due 2017 totaling approximately $16.05 million to the seller, an estimated contingent earn out payment totaling $2.3 million, and issuance of real estate located in Costa Rica totaling $0.6 million. The earn out payment is contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, is due 18 months subsequent to the transaction closing, and is payable through Company financing and issuance of equity units. The Company utilized the income and market approaches as well as the option pricing allocation methodology to value the equity units issued as consideration. At September 30, 2012, the Company calculated the contingent earn out payment and increased the amount due to the seller to approximately $3.6 million. The Company recorded the adjustment of $1.3 million to the earn-out payment as an expense in the fair value adjustment of the earn-out liability in the consolidated statements of comprehensive operations and loss.

        The Company recorded the acquisition at its fair value upon gaining a controlling interest in MDLLC at March 1, 2011. The Company's previously held equity interest in the acquired entities as of the acquisition date totaled approximately $16.15 million. For purposes of valuing the previously held equity interest, the Company used the discounted cash flow method, a derivation of the income approach, which considered a number of factors such as the MDLLC's performance projections, MDLLC's cost of capital, and consideration ascribed to applicable discounts for lack of control and marketability. The Company recorded a gain on the previously held equity interest totaling approximately $0.2 million identified as gain on fair value adjustment of previously held equity investment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        The Company acquired noncontrolling interests totaling approximately $7.75 million as of the acquisition date. The Company valued the noncontrolling interests using the discounted cash flow method, a derivation of the income approach, which considered a number of factors such as the MDLLC's performance projections, MDLLC's cost of capital, and consideration ascribed to applicable discounts for lack of control and marketability. The Company acquired a number of hospital contract arrangements that have varying expiration dates through February 1, 2020. The weighted-average period prior to the next renewal period was 4.9 years as of the acquisition date.

(7) Acquisitions and other arrangements (Continued)

        Net identifiable assets includes the following intangible assets:

Trade name (indefinite life)

  $ 1,750  

Non-compete agreement (5 year life)

    2,000  

Hospital contract agreements (18.5 year life)

    19,850  
       

  $ 23,600  
       
       

        The Company valued the trade name using the relief from royalty method, a derivation of the income approach that estimates the benefit of owning the trade name rather than paying royalties for the right to use a comparable asset. The Company considered a number of factors to value the trade name, including MDLLC's performance projections, royalty rates, discount rates, strength of competition, and income tax rates.

        The Company valued the non-compete agreement using the discounted cash flow method, a derivation of the income approach that evaluates the difference in the sum of MDLLC's present value of cash flows of two scenarios: (1) with the non-compete in place and (2) without the non-compete in place. The Company considered various factors in determining the non-compete value including MDLLC's performance projections, probability of competition, income tax rates, and discount rates.

        The Company valued the hospital contract arrangements using the excess earnings method, which is a form of the income approach. This method includes projecting MDLLC's revenues and expenses attributable to the existing hospital contract arrangements, and then subtracts the required return on MDLLC's net tangible assets and any intangible assets used in the business in order to determine any residual excess earnings attributable to the hospital contract arrangements. The after tax excess earnings are then discounted to present value using an appropriate risk adjusted rate of return.

        The weighted-average amortization period for the acquired amortizable intangible assets at the time of the acquisition was approximately 18.1 years. Total amortization expense recognized for these acquired amortizable intangible assets totaled approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Estimated future amortization expense for MDLLC's acquired amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

2013

  $ 1,473  

2014

  $ 1,473  

2015

  $ 1,473  

2016

  $ 1,140  

2017

  $ 1,073  

        The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill of $67.2 million, representing primarily the value of estimated cost savings and synergies expected from the transaction. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and is included in the Company's international geographic segment.

        Cash at December 31, 2013 and 2012 held by the Company's foreign operating subsidiaries was $3.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The Company considers these cash amounts to be permanently invested in the Company's foreign operating subsidiaries and therefore does not anticipate repatriating any excess cash flows to the U.S. The Company anticipates it can adequately fund its domestic operations from cash flows generated solely from the U.S. business. Of the $3.6 million of cash held by the Company's foreign operating subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, $1.2 million is held in U.S. Dollars, $0.1 million of which is held at banks in the United States, with the remaining held in foreign currencies in foreign banks. The Company believes that the magnitude of its growth opportunities outside of the U.S. will cause the Company to continuously reinvest foreign earnings. The Company does not require access to the earnings and cash flow of its international subsidiaries to fund its U.S. operations.

The combined purchase price of the ownership interests totals approximately $7.4 million, comprised of $2.1 million in cash, seller financing totaling approximately $4.0 million payable over 24 monthly installments, commencing January 2012, and a purchase option totaling approximately $1.3 million. The acquisition of these operating treatment centers expands the Company's presence in its international markets.

In November 2012, the Company exercised its purchase option to purchase the remaining interest for approximately $1.4 million and recorded the adjustment of $0.2 million to the purchase option as an expense in the fair value adjustment of the noncontrolling interests-redeemable in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company finalized its purchase price adjustment, with the exercise of its purchase option with a reduction in noncontrolling interest-redeemable and goodwill of $1.4 million.

        On December 22, 2011, the Company acquired the interest in an operating entity which operates two radiation treatment centers located in North Carolina, for approximately $6.3 million.

        On January 15, 2014 the Company purchased 69% interest in a legal entity that operates a radiation oncology facility in Guatemala City, Guatemala for approximately $1.2 million plus the assumption of approximately $3.0 million in debt. This facility is strategically located in Guatemala City's medical corridor.

        On February 10, 2014, the Company purchased a 65% equity interest in South Florida Radiation Oncology ("SFRO") for approximately $60 million, subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. The transaction was primarily funded with the proceeds of a new $60 million term loan facility that accrues interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 10.50% per annum and matures on January 15, 2017 and $7.9 million of term loans to refinance existing SFRO debt.

        SFRO operates 21 radiation treatment centers throughout south Florida. The Company believes that the acquisition of SFRO will enhance the Company's scale, increasing the number of radiation centers by approximately 10%.

Impairment Loss

        During the third quarter of 2011, the Company completed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of its review of growth expectations and the release of the final rule issued on the physician fee schedule for 2012 by CMS on November 1, 2011, which included certain rate reductions on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers as well as the changes in treatment patterns and volumes in prostate cancer as a result of the slowing rate of men diagnosed and referred to treatment regimens, as a result of the Preventative Services Task Force report issued in May 2012 recommending against routine PSA screenings for healthy men, as well as suggested changes in treatment pattern for low risk prostate cancer away from definitive treatment. In performing this test, the Company assessed the implied fair value of its goodwill and intangible assets. As a result, the Company incurred an impairment loss of approximately $237.6 million in 2011 primarily relating to goodwill and trade name impairment in certain of its reporting units, including North East United States (New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeast Michigan), California, Southwest U.S. (Arizona and Nevada) , the Florida east coast, Northwest Florida and Southwest Florida.

Fair value adjustment of earn-out liability and noncontrolling interests-redeemable.

        On March 1, 2011, the Company purchased the remaining 67% interest in MDLLC from Bernardo Dosoretz as well as interests in the subsidiaries of MDLLC from Alejandro Dosoretz and Bernardo Dosoretz, resulting in an ownership interest of approximately 91% in the underlying radiation oncology practices located in South America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The Company also purchased an additional 61% interest in Clinica de Radioterapia La Asuncion S.A. from Bernardo Dosoretz, resulting in an ownership interest of 80%. The Company recorded an estimated contingent earn out payment totaling $2.3 million at the time of the closing of these acquisitions. The earn out payment is contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, is due 18 months subsequent to the transaction closing, and is payable through Company financing and issuance of equity units. At December 31, 2012, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent earn out liability and increased the liability due to the seller to approximately $3.4 million. The Company recorded the $1.0 million to expense in the fair value adjustment caption in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        On November 4, 2011, the Company purchased an 80% interest in an operating entity, which operates 1 radiation treatment center in Argentina; an 80% interest in another operating entity, which operates 3 radiation treatment centers in Argentina; and a 96% interest in an operating entity, which operates 1 radiation treatment center in Argentina. In November 2012, the Company exercised its purchase option to purchase the remaining interest for approximately $1.4 million and recorded the adjustment of $0.2 million to the purchase option as an expense in the fair value adjustment of the noncontrolling interests-redeemable in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company finalized its purchase price adjustment with the exercise of its purchase option with a reduction in noncontrolling interest-redeemable and goodwill of $1.4 million.

        On October 25, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings from the Company's senior secured credit facility and the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The $7.5 million subject to escrow arrangements was recorded as an earn out payment contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, and is due and payable on December 31, 2015 . At December 31, 2013, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent earn out liability and increased the liability due to the holders to approximately $7.6 million.

        At December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards, primarily in Florida and Kentucky beginning to expire in years 2013 through 2028, available to offset future taxable income of approximately $345.0 million, and $276.1 million, respectively. Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in any one year may be limited.

        ASC 740, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribes a threshold for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

        Since its adoption for uncertainty in income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company has recognized interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax exposures in income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company accrued approximately $0.09 million in interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax exposures in income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company accrued approximately $1.3 million in interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax exposures in income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company released approximately $0.9 million in interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax exposures in income tax expense. The Company did not make any payments of interest and penalties accrued during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011.

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013

  $ 657  
       
       

        The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $0.5 million and $0.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company does not expect that any unrecognized tax benefits related to the ongoing federal, state or foreign tax audits will reverse within the next 12 months.

        The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, approximately 25 state jurisdictions, the Netherlands, and throughout Latin America, namely, Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. However, the principal jurisdictions for which the Company is subject to tax are the United States, Florida and Argentina.

        The Company's future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. The Company monitors the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and makes adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating the Company's annual effective tax rates, future income tax expense (benefit) could be materially affected.

        The Company has not provided U.S. federal and state deferred taxes on the cumulative earnings of non-U.S. affiliates and associated companies that have been reinvested indefinitely. The aggregate undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded is approximately $8.6 million (including positive accumulated earnings of approximately $19 million in foreign jurisdictions that impose withholding taxes of up to 10%). It is not practicable to

determine the U.S. income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.

        The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, or local authorities in the areas of income taxes and other taxes. These audits may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions and compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these audits to determine the adequacy of the Company's provision for income taxes. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which accruals have been established or is required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected. In accordance with the statute of limitations for federal tax returns, the Company's federal tax returns for the years 2007 through 2012 are subject to examination. The Company closed a Federal income tax audit for the tax year 2009 during the third quarter of 2013. The Company closed the New York State audit for tax years 2006 through 2008 during the first quarter of 2013.

On October 25, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction included the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

        The Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated May 10, 2012 (the "Secured Notes Indenture"), among 21C, the guarantors signatory thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association. The Secured Notes are senior secured second lien obligations of 21C and are guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by 21C, and each of 21C's domestic subsidiaries to the extent such guarantor is a guarantor of 21C's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

        Interest is payable on the Secured Notes on each May 15 and November 15, commencing November 15, 2012. 21C may redeem some or all of the Secured Notes at any time prior to May 15, 2014 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Secured Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and an applicable make-whole premium. On or after May 15, 2014, 21C may redeem some or all of the Secured Notes at redemption prices set forth in the Secured Notes Indenture. In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2014, 21C may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes, at a specified redemption price with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings.

        The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company, 21C and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make other restricted payments; incur liens; redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the Notes; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; enter into mergers or consolidations; and enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, in certain circumstances, if 21C sells assets or experiences certain changes of control, it must offer to purchase the Notes.

        21C used the proceeds to repay its existing senior secured revolving credit facility of approximately $63.0 million and the Term Loan B portion of approximately $265.4 million, of its senior secured credit facilities, which were prepaid in their entirety, cancelled and replaced with the new Revolving Credit Facility described below, and to pay related fees and expenses. Any remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. 21C incurred approximately $14.4 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses associated with the offering, and the initial purchasers' discount of $1.7 million.

Senior Secured Notes

        On October 25, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction included the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

Amendment Agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") to the credit agreement among 21C, the Company, the institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, the Administrative Agent named therein and the other agents and arrangers named therein, dated as of May 10, 2012 (the "Original Credit Agreement" and, as amended and restated by the Amendment Agreement, the "Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment Agreement the amendments to the Original Credit Agreement became effective on August 29, 2013.

        The Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a $90 million term loan facility (the "Term Facility") and (ii) a revolving credit facility provided for up to $100 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit) (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and together with the Term Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). The Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each have a maturity date of October 15, 2016.

        Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Facility are subject to the following interest rates:

            (a)   for loans which are Eurodollar loans, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a floating index rate per annum equal to (A) the rate per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in dollars for a period equal to such interest period commencing on the first day of such interest period appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, two business days prior to the beginning of such interest period divided by (B) 1.0 minus the then stated maximum rate of all reserve requirements applicable to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System in respect of eurocurrency funding or liabilities as defined in Regulation D (or any successor category of liabilities under Regulation D) (provided that solely with respect to loans under the Term Facility, such floating index rate shall not be less than 1.00% per annum), plus (ii) an applicable margin (A) based upon a total leverage pricing grid for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or (B) equal to 6.50% per annum for loans under the Term Facility; and

            (b)   for loans which are base rate loans, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a floating index rate per annum equal to the greatest of (A) the Administrative Agent's prime lending rate at such time, (B) the overnight federal funds rate at such time plus 1/2 of 1%, and (C) the Eurodollar Rate for a Eurodollar loan with a one-month interest period commencing on such day plus 1.00% (provided that solely with respect to loans under the Term Facility, such floating index rate shall not be less than 2.00% per annum), plus (ii) an applicable margin (A) based upon a total leverage pricing grid for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or (B) equal to 5.50% per annum for loans under the Term Facility.

        21C will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the Credit Facilities, including (i) fees on the unused commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) letter of credit fees on the aggregate face amounts of outstanding letters of credit and (iii) administration fees.

        The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the ability (subject to various exceptions) of 21C and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; sell certain property or assets; pay dividends of other distributions; consummate acquisitions; make investments, loans and advances; prepay certain indebtedness, change the nature of their business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and

incur restrictions on the ability of 21C's subsidiaries to make distributions, advances and asset transfers. In addition, as of the last business day of each month, 21C will be required to maintain a certain minimum amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus availability under the Revolving Credit Facility of not less than $15.0 million.

        The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross default to other material indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation and a change of control.

        The obligations of 21C under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and certain direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of 21C.

        The Credit Facilities and certain interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by lenders under the Credit Facilities or its affiliates are secured on a first priority basis by security interests in substantially all of 21C's and each guarantor's tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions).

        The Revolving Credit Facility requires that the Company comply with certain financial covenants, including:

        The Revolving Credit Facility also requires that the Company comply with various other covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on new indebtedness, asset sales, capital expenditures, acquisitions and dividends, with which the Company was in compliance as of December 31, 2013.

        On April 15, 2014, the Company obtained a waiver of borrowing conditions due to a default of not providing audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 within 90 days after year end. The Company paid the administrative agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders a fee equal to 0.125% of such Lender's aggregate Commitments. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility provides for a 30 day cure period for the filing of the audited annual financial statements. The default was cured with the provision of the audited financial statements to the administrative agent on April 30, 2014.

        For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $1.4 million related to the Company's $190.0 million senior secured term and revolving credit facility entered into in August 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $14.4 million of which $8.2 million related to the issuance of the $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 87/8% senior secured second lien notes due 2017 in May 2012, and $6.2 million related to the Company's $140.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility entered into in May 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $4.8 million of which $1.6 million related to the issuance of the $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 97/8% senior subordinated notes due 2017

in March 2011, $2.9 million related to the amendment to the Company's senior secured credit facility and the $50.0 million incremental amendment in September 2011, and $0.3 million related to the registration of the issuance of the $16.25 million in aggregate principal amount of 97/8% senior subordinated notes due 2017 in March 2011 related to the MDLLC transaction. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, include $17.8 million and $22.1 million, respectively, in other long-term assets related to unamortized deferred financing costs. The Company recorded approximately $5.6 million, $5.4 million, and $4.5 million, to interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred financing costs.

(12) Real Estate Subject to Finance Obligation

        The Company leases certain of its treatment centers (each, a "facility" and, collectively, the "facilities") and other properties from partnerships which are majority-owned by related parties (each, a "related-party lessor" and, collectively, the related party lessors"). The related-party lessors construct the facilities in accordance with the Company's plans and specifications and subsequently leases these facilities to the Company. Due to the related-party relationship, the Company is considered the owner of these facilities during the construction period pursuant to the provisions of ASC 840-40, Sale-Leaseback Transactions. In accordance with ASC 840-40, the Company records a construction-in-progress asset for these facilities with a corresponding finance obligation during the construction period. Certain related parties guarantee the debt of the related-party lessors, which is considered to be "continuing involvement" pursuant to ASC 840-40. Accordingly, these leases do not qualify as a normal sale-leaseback at the time that construction is completed and these facilities were leased to the Company. As a result, the costs to construct the facilities and the related finance obligation remain on the Company's consolidated balance sheets after construction was completed. The construction costs are included in real estate subject to finance obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The finance obligation is amortized over the lease during the construction period term based on the payments designated in the lease agreements with a portion of the payment representing a free ground lease recorded in rent expense. The assets classified as real estate subject to finance obligation are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

        In some cases, the related-party lessor will purchase a facility during the Company's acquisition of a business and lease the facility to the Company. These transactions also are within the scope of ASC 840-40. Certain related parties guarantee the debt of the related-party lessor, which is considered to be continuing involvement pursuant to ASC 840-40. Accordingly, these leases do not qualify as normal sale-leaseback. As a result, the cost of the facility, including land and the related finance obligation are recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The cost of the facility, including land, is included in real estate subject to finance obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The finance obligation is amortized over the lease term based on the payments designated in the lease agreements and the Real Estate Subject to Finance Obligation are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

        During 2011 the related party lessors completed construction of 2 properties. Upon completion we entered into a new master lease arrangement with the related party lessors for these 2 properties as well as an existing property under lease. The initial term of the new master lease arrangement is 15 years with four 5 year renewal options. Annual payments, including executory costs, total

(13) Reconciliation of total equity and noncontrolling interests

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. Noncontrolling interests-nonredeemable principally represent minority shareholders' proportionate share of the equity of certain consolidated majority owned entities of the Company. The Company has certain arrangements whereby the

noncontrolling interest may be redeemed upon the occurrence of certain events outside of the Company's control. These noncontrolling interests have been classified outside of permanent equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interests are not redeemable at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the contingent events upon which the noncontrolling interest may be redeemed are not probable of occurrence at December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interests are measured at their carrying value at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

        Redeemable equity securities with redemption features that are not solely within the Company's control are classified outside of permanent equity. Those securities are initially recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of issuance. Securities that are currently redeemable or redeemable after the passage of time are adjusted to their redemption value as changes occur. In the unlikely event that a redeemable equity security will require redemption, any subsequent adjustments to the initially recorded amount will be recognized in the period that a redemption becomes probable. Contingent redemption events vary by joint venture and generally include either the holder's discretion or circumstances jeopardizing: the joint ventures' ability to provide services, the joint ventures' participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other third party reimbursement programs, the tax-exempt status of minority shareholders, and violation of federal statutes, regulations, ordinances, or guidelines. Amounts required to redeem noncontrolling interests are based on either fair value or a multiple of trailing financial performance. These amounts are not limited.

(14) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        ASC 820 requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows:

 
   
Level 1—   Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—   Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—   Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

        In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of the Term Loan portion of the senior secured credit facility ("Term Facility"), the 97/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017, 87/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017, and the 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 was based on prices quoted from third-party financial institutions (Level 2). At December 31, 2013, the fair values are as follows (in thousands):

 
  Fair Value   Carrying Value  

$90.0 million senior secured credit facility—(Term Facility)

  $ 88,650   $ 87,989  

$380.1 million Senior Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2017

  $ 328,743   $ 377,667  

$350.0 million Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due January 15, 2017

  $ 355,250   $ 348,926  

$75.0 million Senior Secured Notes due January 15, 2017

  $ 78,750   $ 75,000  

        At December 31, 2012, the fair values are as follows (in thousands):

 
  Fair Value   Carrying Value  

$376.3 million Senior Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2017

  $ 265,256   $ 374,461  

$350.0 million Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due January 15, 2017

  $ 344,750   $ 348,577  

        As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis including foreign currency derivative contracts. Cash and cash equivalents are reflected in the financial statements at their carrying value, which approximate their fair value due to their short maturity. The carrying values of the Company's long-term debt other than the Term Loan portion of the senior secured credit facility, Senior Subordinated Notes, Senior Secured Second Lien Notes and Senior Secured Notes approximates fair value due to the length of time to maturity and/or the existence of interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates. There have been no transfers between levels of valuation hierarchies for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

        The estimated fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps were determined using the income approach that considers various inputs and assumptions, including LIBOR swap rates, cash flow activity, yield curves and other relevant economic measures, all of which are observable market inputs that are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value also incorporates valuation adjustments for credit risk.

        The estimated fair value of the Company's foreign currency derivative agreements considered various inputs and assumptions, including the applicable spot rate, forward rates, maturity, implied volatility and other relevant economic measures, all of which are observable market inputs that are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The valuation technique used is an income approach with the best market estimate of what will be realized on a discounted cash flow basis.

(15) Equity Investments in Joint Ventures

        The Company currently maintains equity interests in six unconsolidated joint ventures, including a 45% interest in a urology surgical facility in Maryland, a 33.6% interest in the development and management of a proton beam therapy center to be constructed in Manhattan, New York, a 50.0% interest in a radiation oncology facility in Florida, a 50.1% interest in a joint venture which owns the real estate of an administrative building in California, and two joint ventures in South America.

        The Company utilizes the equity method to account for its investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company's investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures were approximately $2.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company's equity in the earnings (losses) of the equity investments in joint ventures was approximately ($0.5 million), ($0.8 million), and ($1.0 million) for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which is recorded in other revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

        The Company leases land and space at its treatment centers under operating lease arrangements expiring in various years through 2044. The majority of the Company's leases provide for fixed rent escalation clauses, ranging from 1.0% to 6.0%, or escalation clauses tied to the Consumer Price Index. The rent expense for leases containing fixed rent escalation clauses or rent holidays is recognized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leasehold improvements made by a lessee are recorded as leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives (generally 39 years or less) or the related lease term plus anticipated renewals when there is an economic penalty associated with nonrenewal. An economic penalty is deemed to occur when the Company forgoes an economic benefit, or suffers an economic detriment by not renewing the lease. Penalties include, but are not limited to, impairment of existing leasehold improvements, profitability, location, uniqueness of the property within its particular market, relocation costs, and risks associated with potential competitors utilizing the vacated location. Lease incentives received are recorded as accrued rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense over the lease term.

(16) Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts with highly rated financial institutions. These accounts may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company grants credit, without collateral, to its patients, most of whom are local residents. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable relate principally to third- party payers, including managed care contracts, whose ability to pay for services rendered is dependent on their financial condition.

Legal Proceedings

        The Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of management, based on advice of legal counsel, that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

        On February 18, 2014, the Company was served with subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health & Human Services acting with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida who together have requested the production of medical records of patients treated by certain of the Company's physicians for the period from January 2007 to present regarding the ordering, billing and medical necessity of certain laboratory services as part of a civil False Claims Act investigation, as well as the Company's agreements with such physicians. The laboratory services under review relate to the utilization of fluorescence in situ hybridization ("FISH") laboratory tests ordered by certain of the Company's employed physicians and performed by the Company. The Company has recorded a liability of approximately $4.7 million that is included in accrued expenses and general and administrative expense in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations and comprehensive loss, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. The recorded estimate is based on a probability weighted analysis of the low-end of the range of the liability that considers the facts currently known by the Company, review of qualitative and quantitative factors, and an assessment of potential outcomes under different scenarios used to assess the Company's exposure which may be used to determine a potential settlement should the Company decide not to litigate. The Company's recording of a liability related to this matter is not an admission of guilt. Depending on how this matter progresses, the exposure may be less than or more than the liability recorded and the Company will continue to reassess and adjust the liability until this matter is settled. The Company's estimate of the high-end of the range of exposure is $9.4 million.

        Based on reviews performed to date, the Company does not believe that it or its physicians knowingly submitted false claims in violation of applicable Medicare statutory or regulatory requirements. The Company is cooperating fully with the subpoena requests. The Company believes it has a meritorious position and will vigorously defend any claim that may be asserted.

Acquisitions

        The Company has acquired and plans to continue acquiring businesses with prior operating histories. Acquired companies may have unknown or contingent liabilities, including liabilities for failure to comply with health care laws and regulations, such as billing and reimbursement, fraud and abuse and similar anti-referral laws. Although the Company institutes policies designed to conform practices to its standards following completion of acquisitions, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become liable for past activities that may later be asserted to be improper by private plaintiffs or government agencies. Although the Company generally seeks to obtain indemnification from prospective sellers covering such matters, there can be no assurance that any such matter will be covered by indemnification, or if covered, that such indemnification will be adequate to cover potential losses and fines.

Employment Agreements

        The Company is party to employment agreements with several of its employees that provide for annual base salaries, targeted bonus levels, severance pay under certain conditions, and certain other benefits.

(17) Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans

        The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Retirement Plan). The Retirement Plan allows all full-time employees after one year of service to defer a portion of their compensation on a pretax basis through contributions to the Retirement Plan. The Company provides for a discretionary match based on a percentage of the employee's annual contribution. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company accrued approximately $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively related to the Company's approved discretionary match. No Company match was provided for in 2011.

        The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan whereby certain key employees, physicians and executives may defer a portion of their compensation. Participants earn a return on their deferred compensation based on their allocation of their account balance among mutual funds. Participants are able to elect the payment of benefits on a specified date or upon retirement. Distributions are made in the form of lump sum or in installments elected by the participant. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, liabilities of the Company to the plan participants total approximately $3.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Of those amounts, approximately $0.5 million and $0 million, respectively are recorded in other current liabilities and approximately $2.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively are recorded in other long-term liabilities. Investments in company-owned life insurance policies ("COLI") were made with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The policies are recorded at their net cash surrender values. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the net cash surrender values of the COLI total approximately $3.0 million and $1.5 million respectively. Of those amounts approximately $0.5 million and $0 million, respectively are recorded in other current assets and approximately $2.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively are recorded to other noncurrent assets.

2008 Equity-based incentive plans

        21CI adopted an equity-based incentive plan in February 2008 ("2008 Plan"), and authorized for issuance under the plan approximately 1,494,111 units of limited liability company interests consisting of 526,262 Class B Units and 967,849 Class C Units. The units are limited liability company interests and were available for issuance to the Company's employees. Effective as of June 11, 2012, 21CI entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "Amended LLC Agreement"). The Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of equity units in 21CI in the form of Class Management Equity Plan ("MEP") Units, Class Executive Management Equity Plan ("EMEP") Units, Class L Units and Class G Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, establishes new distribution entitlements related thereto, and modifies the distribution entitlements for holders of preferred units and Class A Units of 21CI. The Amended LLC Agreement also provides that any forfeited or repurchased Class EMEP Units may be reallocated by Dr. Daniel Dosoretz, in his sole discretion, for so long as he is Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Amended LLC Agreement provided for the cancellation of 21CI's existing Class B and Class C incentive equity units.

        The Class B Units vested over approximately 48 months. Assuming continued employment of the employee with the Company, 25% vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining 75% vest in three equal installments on the second, third, and fourth anniversaries from the grant date. The Class C Units vested annually for 34 months based on certain performance conditions and/or market conditions being met or achieved and, in all cases, assuming continued employment. For the Class C Units, the investment return conditions relate to Vestar Capital Partners V, L.P., majority owner of 21CI ("Vestar") receiving a specified multiple on their investment upon a liquidity event. The performance condition relates to the Company achieving certain operating targets, and the market condition relates to holders of Preferred Units and Class A Units receiving a specified multiple on their investment upon a liquidation event. If an employee holder's employment is terminated, 21CI may repurchase the holder's vested Class B Units and Class C Units. If the termination occurs within 12 months after the relevant measurement date, all of the Class B and Class C Units will be repurchased at the initial purchase price, or cost. If the termination occurs during the following three-year period, the Class B and Class C units may be purchased at fair market value depending on the circumstances of the holder's departure and the date of termination.

        For purposes of determining the compensation expense associated with these grants, management valued the business enterprise using a variety of widely accepted valuation techniques, which considered a number of factors such as the financial performance of the Company, the values of comparable companies and the lack of marketability of the Company's equity. The Company then used the option pricing method to determine the fair value of these units at the time of grant using the following assumptions: a term of five years, which is based on the expected term in which the units will be realized; a risk-free interest rate of 1.96% and 0.53% for grants issued in 2010 and 2011, respectively, which is the five-year U.S. federal treasury bond rate consistent with the term assumption; and expected volatility of 50% and 55% for grants issued in 2010 and 2011, respectively, which is based on the historical data of equity instruments of comparable companies.

        The estimated fair value of the units, less an assumed forfeiture rate of 2.7%, is recognized in expense in the Company's consolidated financial statements on a straight-line basis over the requisite

service periods of the awards for Class B Units. For Class B Units, the requisite service period is approximately 48 months, and for Class C Units, the requisite service period is 34 months only if probable of being met.

2012 Equity-based incentive plans

        Effective as of June 11, 2012, 21CI entered into the Amended LLC Agreement. The Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of equity units (such new units, the "2012 Plan") in 21CI in the form of Class MEP Units, Class EMEP Units, Class L Units and Class G Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, establishes new distribution entitlements related thereto, and modifies the distribution entitlements for holders of Preferred units and Class A Units of 21CI. In addition to the Preferred Units and Class A Units of 21CI, the Amended LLC Agreement authorized for issuance under the 2012 Plan 1,100,200 units of limited liability company interests consisting of 1,000,000 Class MEP Units, 100,000 Class EMEP Units, 100 Class L Units, and 100 Class G Units. As of December 31, 2012, there were 84,542 Class MEP Units, 9,257 Class EMEP Units and 100 Class G Units available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan.

        Generally, for Class MEP units awarded, 66.6% vest upon issuance, while the remaining 33.4% vest on the 18 month anniversary of the issuance date. There are no performance conditions for the MEP units to vest. For newly hired individuals after January 1, 2012, vesting occurs at 33.3% in years one and two, and 33.4% in year three of the individual's hire date. In the event of a sale or public offering of the Company prior to termination of employment, all unvested Class MEP units would vest

upon consummation of the transaction. The MEP units are eligible to receive distributions only upon a return of all capital invested in 21CI, plus the amounts to which the Class EMEP Units, are entitled to receive under the Amended LLC Agreements; which effectively creates a market condition that is reflected in the value of the Class MEP units.

        Vesting of the Class EMEP units is dependent upon achievement of an implied equity value target. The right to receive proceeds from vested units is dependent upon the occurrence of a qualified sale or liquidation event. Specifically, the percentage of EMEP units that vest is based on the implied value of the Company's equity, to be measured quarterly beginning December 31, 2012. 25% of the awards will be eligible for vesting if the "implied equity value" exceeds a predetermined threshold, with 50% incremental vesting eligibility if the implied value exceeds several higher thresholds for at least two consecutive quarters. The implied equity value per the Amended LLC Agreement is a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as defined in the Amended LLC Agreement. As with the MEP units, the values of the EMEP units are subject to a market condition in the form of the return on investment target for Vestar's interest. The Class EMEP Units were eliminated under the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "Fourth Amended LLC Agreement") in December 2013.

    Grant of Class L Units

        Dr. Dosoretz, CEO of the Company received Class L Unit awards in addition to Class MEP and Class EMEP Units. The Class L Units rank lower than the Class MEP and EMEP Units in the waterfall distribution, and will not receive distributions until and unless the performance conditions that result in vesting of the EMEP units occurs. The terms of the Class L unit award to Dr. Dosoretz do not have any service or performance conditions. The Class L units vest upon issuance, and the fair value of the units awarded was recognized upon issuance. The Company recorded approximately $1.0 million of stock-based compensation for the issuance of the Class L Units to the CEO in 2012. The Class L Units were eliminated under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement in December 2013.

        For purposes of determining the compensation expense associated with the 2012 equity-based incentive plan grants, management valued the business enterprise using a variety of widely accepted valuation techniques, which considered a number of factors such as the financial performance of the Company, the values of comparable companies and the lack of marketability of the Company's equity. The Company then used the probability-weighted expected return method ("PWERM") to determine the fair value of these units at the time of grant. Under the PWERM, the value of the units is estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the enterprise assuming various future outcomes (exits) as well as the rights of each unit class. In developing assumptions for the various exit scenarios, management considered the Company's ability to achieve certain growth and profitability milestone in order to maximize shareholder value at the time of potential exit. Management considers an initial public offering ("IPO") of the Company's stock to be one of the exit scenarios for the current shareholders, although sale or merger/acquisition are possible future exit options as well. For the scenarios the enterprise value at exit was estimated based on a multiple of the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the fiscal year preceding the exit date. The enterprise value for the Staying Private Scenario was estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis as well as guideline company market approach. The guideline companies were

publicly-traded companies that were deemed comparable to the Company. The discount rate analysis also leveraged market data of the same guideline companies.

        For each PWERM scenario, management estimated probability factors based on the outlook of the Company and the industry as well as prospects for potential exit at the exit date based on information known or knowable as of the grant date. The probability-weighted unit values calculated at each potential exit date was present-valued to the grant date to estimate the per-unit value. The discount rate utilized in the present value calculation was the cost of equity calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPM") and based on the market data of the guideline companies as well as historical data published by Morningstar, Inc. For each PWERM scenario, the per unit values were adjusted for lack of marketability discount to conclude on unit value on a minority, non-marketable basis.

        The estimated fair value of the units, less an assumed forfeiture rate of 3.9%, is recognized in expense in the Company's consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period and in accordance with the vesting conditions of the awards for Class MEP Units. For Class MEP Units, the requisite service period is approximately 18 months, and for Class EMEP Units, the requisite service period is 36 months only if met or probable of being met. There was no stock-based compensation cost recorded in the period ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for the Class EMEP Units. The assumed forfeiture rate is based on an average historical forfeiture rate.

    Grant of Preferred and Class A Units

        In addition to the 2012 equity-based incentive plans, the CFO and COO also received Preferred and Class A Unit awards, entitling them to participate in distributions in accordance with the waterfall distribution of the Amended LLC Agreement. The CFO was granted 296 units and 5,625 units, of Preferred and Class A units, respectively. The COO was granted 500 units and 25,000 units, of Preferred and Class A units, respectively. The weighted- average grant date fair value of the Preferred and Class A Units were $474.96 and $4.56, respectively.

        For the CFO, 33.3% of the Preferred and Class A awards vest on January 1, 2013, with the remaining 66.7% vesting in equal amounts on January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015. For the COO, 33.3% of the Preferred and Class A awards vest upon issuance, with the remaining 66.7% vesting in equal amounts on February 7, 2013 and February 7, 2014. As this creates a service condition, the Company will recognize compensation expense in accordance with the vesting conditions of the award over the remaining service period. Any unvested shares would vest automatically upon the occurrence of a sale or liquidation event, provided the executives remain employed by the Company at the time of the event. Vested shares are subject to forfeiture only in the event of termination for cause, or engaging in prohibited activities. The Company recorded approximately $0.3 million of stock-based compensation for the issuance of the Preferred and Class A Units to the executives.

Executive Bonus Plan

        On December 9, 2013, the Company adopted the Executive Bonus Plan to provide certain senior level employees of the Company with an opportunity to receive additional compensation based on the Equity Value, as defined in the plan and described in general terms as noted below, of 21CI. Upon the occurrence of the first company sale or initial public offering to occur following the effective date of the plan, a bonus pool was established equal in value of 5% of the Equity Value of 21CI, subject to a maximum bonus pool of $12.7 million. Each participant in the plan will participate in the bonus pool based on the participant's award percentage.

        Payments of awards under the plan generally will be made as follows:

        If the applicable liquidity event is a company sale, payment of the awards under the plan will be made within 30 days following consummation of the company sale in the same form as the proceeds received by 21CI. If the applicable liquidity event is an initial public offering, one-third of the award will be paid within 45 days following the effective date of the initial public offering, and the remaining two-thirds of the award will be payable in two equal annual installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of the initial public offering. Payment of the award may be made in cash or stock or a combination thereof.

        For purposes of the plan, the term "Equity Value" generally refers to : (i) if the applicable liquidity event is a company sale, the aggregate fair market value of the cash and non-cash proceeds received by 21CI and its equity holders in connection with the sale of equity interests in the Company; or (ii) if the applicable liquidity event is an initial public offering, the aggregate fair market value of 100% of the common stock of the Company on the effective date of its initial public offering.

Grants under 2013 Plan

        On December 9, 2013, 21CI entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "Fourth Amended LLC Agreement") which replaced the Third Amended LLC Agreement in its entirety. The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of incentive equity units (such new units, together with Class MEP Units, as modified under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, the "2013 Plan") in 21CI in the form of Class M Units, Class N Units and Class O Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, eliminated 21CI's Class L Units and Class EMEP Units, and modified the distribution entitlements for holders of each existing class of equity units of 21CI.

        The Company recorded $0.6 million, $3.3 million, and $1.5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to all plans for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which is included in salaries and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of
Medical Developers, LLC

        We have audited the combined special-purpose balance sheet of Vidt Centro Médico S.A., Ceditrin—Centro de Diagnóstico y Tratamiento S.A., CITO Centro de Interconsulta y Tratamiento Oncológico S.A., Instituto Médico Dean Funes S.A., Centro de Oncología y Radioterapia de Mar del Plata S.A., Centro de Radioterapia Siglo XXI S.A., Centro de Radiaciones de la Costa S.A., Instituto Privado de Radioterapia Cuyo S.A., Centro de Radioterapia San Juan S.A., Instituto de Radiaciones Salta S.A., Centro Médico de Radioterapia Irazú S.A., Clínica de Radioterapia de Occidente S.A. de C.V., Centro de Radioterapia y Oncología Integral S.A., Centro de Radioterapia del Cibao S.A., Servicios y Soluciones Médicas S.A., Clínica de Radioterapia La Asunción S.A., Centro de Radioterapia Los Mangales S.A., Terapia Radiante S.A., Centro Oncológico de las Sierras S.A., Emprendimientos Médicos y Tecnológicos S.A., Centro de Diagnóstico y Tratamiento S.A. and EMTRO S.A., altogether entities under common control of Medical Developers, LLC (the "Company") and referred to as the "Operating Entities", as of December 31, 2011, and the related combined special-purpose statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the ten-month period from March 1, through December 31, 2011. These combined special-purpose financial statements, none of which are included herein, are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined special-purpose financial statements based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined special-purpose financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined special-purpose financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined special-purpose financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such combined special-purpose financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Operating Entities at December 31, 2011, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the ten-month period from March 1, through December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
