Oncology Institute, Inc. (TOI)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 revenue grew 21.5% year over year to $119.8M, with pharmacy the key driver (up 41% YoY) and fee-for-service up ~10% YoY; gross profit rose 34% to $17.5M and gross margin reached 14.6% (+140 bps YoY) despite sequential pressure from a Q1 one-time rebate phasing out .
- Adjusted EBITDA loss improved by more than half to $(4.1)M (from $(8.7)M) on scale benefits and tighter SG&A; EPS was $(0.15) vs $(0.17) YoY; cash ended at $30.3M .
- Full-year 2025 guidance reaffirmed (Revenue $460–$480M, Gross Profit $73–$82M, Adj. EBITDA $(8)–$(17)M, FCF $(12)–$(21)M), with management leaning to the high end on revenue and guiding Q3 Adj. EBITDA to $(2.5)–$(3.5)M; FCF expected near the low end of the range given rebate timing and rising pharmacy AR .
- Strategic catalysts: fully delegated Florida expansion (verbal agreement adding >40k MA lives in Q4), Medicaid expansion in NV effective July 1 (~80k lives), and AI enablement in RCM/prior auth/call center; board leadership transition to Anne McGeorge as Chair .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Pharmacy strength: “Retail Pharmacy and Dispensary set fill records, contributing $62.6 million revenue and over $11 million in gross profit in Q2” .
- Operating leverage and margin mix: Gross margin 14.6% (+140 bps YoY), driven by dispensary margin expansion; SG&A down 3.5% YoY (or ~12% YoY ex one-time) with revenue scale .
- Value-based momentum and delegated model: CEO cited 50k+ new capitated lives and fully delegated expansion in Florida slated to more than double lives at a key payer; “we remain confident in achieving positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter” .
-
What Went Wrong
- Patient services capitation margin pressure from new launches (continuity-of-care phase); CFO expects margins to improve over the next three months as patients transition and programs mature .
- Sequential gross margin dip vs Q1 due to a non-recurring supplier rebate in Q1; ex-rebate, Q2 gross margin would have increased sequentially .
- Net loss widened modestly to $(17.0)M (vs $(15.5)M), reflecting non-cash fair value changes and contract ramp costs; cash used in operations for 1H improved but remained negative, with working capital tied up in drug rebates and pharmacy AR .

Versus estimates (S&P Global)

Operating detail and non-GAAP
- Pharmacy gross profit “over $11M” in Q2; dispensary margins benefited from scale, better procurement, and rebates; Q2-24 dispensary margin was depressed by a 2023 DARP clawback .
- SG&A included a ~$2.4M write-off from outsourcing clinical trials to Helios; added back to Adjusted EBITDA .
- Free Cash Flow for 1H25 was $(14.6)M, a 54.1% YoY improvement; operating cash usage improved 52% YoY as rebate timing and AR growth absorb working capital .
Guidance Changes
Note: Management reiterated path to positive Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2025 .
Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- Strategy and outlook: “We remain confident in achieving positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter… momentum we’re seeing in new contract signings, combined with continued strength in pharmacy” .
- Pharmacy drivers: “Our scale is providing new opportunities… incremental rebates as well as other pricing considerations… yielding better rebates and margin overall” .
- Delegated model: “We are taking risk for Part B… and are delegated for utilization management, network design, and claims adjudication” enabling broader control and scalability .
- Margin cadence: “When a new capitation contract begins… we tend to experience lower margin… expect margin… to improve over time as these new populations are conformed” .
Q&A Highlights
- Dispensary margin expansion: 2024 Q2 margin was depressed by a DARP clawback; beyond that, scale-driven procurement and rebates support double-digit margin improvement YoY .
- Capitation margin timing: Large Florida contract launched in March; continuity-of-care period dampened cap margins in Q2; margins should lift over next three months as patients transition .
- Drug pricing reform (IRA): Management views as net positive—lower drug costs improve capitated margins; FFS practices likely offset via rebates or other mechanisms .
- PBM site-of-care shifts: Most TOI risk is Part B; shifting to Part D would remove costs from risk—net positive if compliant .
- Florida growth: Verbal agreement to expand fully delegated arrangement in Q4, adding >40k MA lives; Florida MA risk lives expected to reach ~100k by year-end .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for Q2 2025 (revenue, EPS, EBITDA) were unavailable for TOI at the time of retrieval; we cannot quantify beats/misses. Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
Implications: Sell-side models may raise 2H pharmacy contributions and delegated revenue ramps, while adjusting Q3 Adj. EBITDA to the $(2.5)–$(3.5)M range and skewing FCF assumptions toward the lower end of guidance given working capital dynamics .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Pharmacy is the growth and margin engine: +41% YoY revenue and >$11M gross profit in Q2; scale-driven procurement and rebates underpin durable margin expansion in dispensary .
- Delegated risk model is a structural differentiator: Control over UM/network/claims should improve medical cost management and unlock ancillary revenue (MSO, pharmacy, trials) as it scales outside CA .
- Near-term margin cadence: Capitation margins temporarily compressed by new contract launches, with a clear path to improvement over the next quarter as patients transition and programs mature .
- 2025 setup: Guidance reaffirmed with revenue bias to high end; Q3 Adj. EBITDA guide implies continued sequential improvement; Q4 targeted for positive Adj. EBITDA .
- Cash/FCF: Working capital tied to rebates and pharmacy AR suggests FCF toward the low end of guidance in 2025; watch rebate collection cadence and AR turns .
- Execution watch items: Florida delegated expansion go-live in Q4, NV Medicaid scaling, pharmacy location expansion in Florida, and delivery of AI-enabled OpEx efficiencies in 2H .
- Governance: Chair transition to Anne McGeorge adds healthcare finance depth and oversight during a scale-up phase .
