Variable Interest Entities

In order for customers to obtain a prescription product, customers must complete a consultation with a Provider on the Company’s websites through one of the Affiliated Medical Groups and receive a written prescription by the applicable Provider.

The Affiliated Medical Groups and the Company do not have any shareholders in common. The Affiliated Medical Groups are 100% owned by licensed Providers. The Company is party to service agreements with the Affiliated Medical Groups pursuant to which the Company provides management and administrative services and collects the medical consultation fees from customers on behalf of the Affiliated Medical Groups.

In October 2020, the Company also entered into service agreements with XeCare LLC (“XeCare”), a licensed mail order pharmacy affiliated with the Company which provides prescription fulfillment services solely to the Company’s customers. Similarly, as part of the Apostrophe acquisition discussed in Note 4 – Acquisitions, the Company entered into service agreements with Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC (“Apostrophe Pharmacy,” together with XeCare, the “Affiliated Pharmacies”), which also provides prescription fulfillment services solely to the Company’s customers.

The Affiliated Medical Groups and Affiliated Pharmacies are legal entities that the Company has determined qualify as variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these entities for accounting purposes because it has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance and has the obligation to absorb the losses. Under the VIE model, the Company presents the results of operations and the financial position of the VIEs as part of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as if the consolidated group were a single economic entity. There is no noncontrolling interest upon consolidation of the entities. The results of operations and cash flows of the VIEs are also included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included current and total assets of $2.2 million and $1.4 million for the VIEs. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, current liabilities were $3.0 million and $0.8 million and total liabilities were $3.0 million and $1.2 million. All amounts are after elimination of intercompany transactions, balances, and non-cash impact of operating leases.

The results of operations and cash flows of the VIEs are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the VIEs charged the Company $23.6 million, $12.0 million, and $2.6 million, respectively, for services rendered. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 operations of the VIEs generated net losses of $3.3 million, $1.9 million, and $9.3 million, respectively, inclusive of administrative expenses.
