Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See Forward-Looking Statements. When reviewing the discussion below, you should keep in mind the substantial risks and uncertainties that characterize our business. Known material factors that could affect our financial performance and actual results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this discussion or otherwise made by our management, are described in Risk Factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such difference are not limited to those identified in Risk Factors.
We are a leading home and community-based healthcare services platform, focused on delivering complementary pharmacy and provider services to complex patients. We have a differentiated approach to care delivery, with an integrated and scaled model that addresses critical services that the highest-need and highest-cost patients require. With a focus on Senior and Specialty patients, our platform provides pharmacy and provider services (both clinical and supportive care in nature) in lower-cost home and community settings largely to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercially-insured populations. Our presence spans all 50 states, we serve over 440,000 patients daily through our approximately 10,000 clinical providers and pharmacists, and our services make a profound impact in the lives and communities of the people we serve.
We have built a significant presence and capability in delivering complementary and high-touch daily healthcare services and programs to complex patients in their homes and in facilities in order to address their multiple health needs and requirements more completely, through two reportable segments: Pharmacy Solutions and Provider Services. In pharmacy, we leverage our national infrastructure to provide daily medication therapy management to various customer and patient types wherever they reside in the community, including home and in-clinic infusion patients, oncology and other specialty patients in their homes, residents of independent and senior living communities, people receiving hospice care, neuro and Behavioral clients' and patients' homes, residents of skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, hospital patients, and the homes of Seniors who are on a significant number of medications. Within Provider Services, we address the clinical and supportive care needs of Senior and Specialty populations, including neuro patients, primarily in their homes, as well as some clinic settings. Our clinical services consist of home health and hospice and rehab therapy, and our supportive care services address activities of daily living and social determinants of health as well. We also provide home-based primary care for patients in senior living communities, long-term care, and individual homes to directly manage and optimize patient outcomes and to enable value-based care. By providing these complementary and necessary services for complex patients, our care model is designed to address multiple patient needs and better integrate health services delivery to improve quality and patient experiences, while reducing overall costs.
Discontinued Operations
On January 17, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with National Mentor Holding, Inc. to divest our community living services, home and community based waiver programs, and intermediate care facilities (the Community Living business ), for $835 million, subject to typical adjustments for working capital and other customary items. We expect the divestiture to close in 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. This transaction provides for continuity of important intellectual and developmental disability services while BrightSpring focuses on a concentrated group of customers, patients and stakeholders in the future. We believe the Company's streamlined service offerings will result in increased strategic focus, operational efficiencies, a refined payer mix, and greater clinical integration and business synergy across the Provider Services segment. The divestiture will also augment our expected Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth rates and maximize exposure to target growth markets that require BrightSpring's needed and valuable solutions, such as home health, rehab, primary care, and hospice.
The Company has determined the divestiture of the Community Living business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its business and therefore met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. As a result, the financial results of the Community Living business, which were previously reported as part of our Provider Services segment, have been classified as discontinued operations in the audited consolidated statements of operations, and its assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis relate to our continuing operations. Refer to Part II, Item 8. Note 2 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

Our Service Offerings
We are one of the largest independent providers of home and community-based health services in the United States, delivering both pharmacy and provider services. We believe our high-quality and complementary health services offerings address significant and important patient and stakeholder needs. We enhance patient outcomes through the delivery and coordination of high-quality services that high-need, high-cost patients require. Our services are principally delivered in patient-preferred and lower-cost settings and often over longer periods of time, given the chronic nature of the patient conditions that we address. We believe our breadth of service capabilities and proven outcomes position us as a provider of choice for patients, families, referral sources, customers, and payors. We deliver services through two reportable segments: Pharmacy Solutions and Provider Services.
The following table summarizes the revenues generated by each of our reportable segments for the two most recent years:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||||||
| ($ in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||
| Revenue | % of Revenue | Revenue | % of Revenue | |||||||||||||

| Consolidated | $ | 10,072.2 | 100.0 | % | $ | 7,691.0 | 100.0 | % |
We opportunistically provide pharmacy services when and where demanded and as required to customers and patients in their homes and communities, often in coordination with our provider services. The Company filled over 41 million prescriptions in 2024 from over 180 pharmacies across all 50 states, with services delivered to approximately 7,100 customer locations, more than 60,000 individual or group homes, and over 400,000 patients, all through over 4,700 unique customer and payor contracts. Our leading pharmacy support across customer and patient settings is achieved through a focus on medication availability and reliability, cost containment, customer staff and patient support programs, clinical and regulatory education and support, and leading customer service. Infusion and Specialty Pharmacy prescriptions and Home and Community Pharmacy prescriptions have grown at more than 22% and 11%, respectively, from December 2023 to December 2024. We have a unique opportunity to increasingly provide more pharmacy services in the future to provider patients and patients transitioning across settings of care. Almost every one of the Company's patients who receive provider services from us have a significant medication support need given their polypharmacy profile, which we have the opportunity to further address.
Infusion and Specialty Pharmacy
We provide infused, injectable, and oral medication services in the home and clinic focused on pharmaceutical therapies that require expert administration and high-touch clinical services to patients by our pharmacists, registered nursing staff, and patient support teams. Infusion therapy services are a specialty form of pharmaceuticals that involve the intravenous administration of higher-cost, specially-handled medications that treat a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including, for example, infections, auto-immune illnesses, oncology, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia, and nutritional deficiencies. Oral and injectable medication therapies for complex disease management treat oncology, neurology, dermatology, cardiology, immunology, inflammatory, rare and orphan, and other conditions. Within oncology, as one of the leading independent specialty pharmacies in the United States, our services encompass clinical coordination, patient education, protocol compliance, patient assistance with insurance access and outside funding, and timely delivery of medication. Our certified oncology pharmacists are available 24/7 to provide support for patients and caregivers while working in close coordination with their physicians.
As a result of our unique capabilities in serving pharmaceutical manufacturers and biotech companies, we have exclusive or preferred relationships in specialty oncology drugs, as manufacturers select our pharmacy exclusively or as part of a group of a few other pharmacies to distribute and support their therapies in the market. We currently have 125 limited distribution oncology drugs in the market, with an additional 16 in the pipeline still to launch over the next 12 to 18 months.
Home and Community Pharmacy
Our home and community-based pharmacy solutions ensure that medications are accessible and clinically supported for patients outside of retail pharmacies. The Company's footprint of pharmacies covers all 50 states with a localized model that features white-glove and customized programs and allows for faster response times and a better customer and patient experience. We service customer locations typically multiple times a day and 24/7 as needed, within a radius of approximately 100 miles of a pharmacy location. Our pharmacy services are all customized to specific settings and patients among the Senior and Specialty populations served, for example whether a patient receiving our medications is in a senior living community, a behavioral group home, or a hospice patient in their own home.
We deliver a variety of impactful and valuable provider services to high-need, chronic, and complex patients in home and community settings. These services consist of clinical and supportive care to approximately 17,000 Senior and Specialty populations, with both census for Home Health Care services specifically, and rehab hours served, having grown
approximately 9% and 13% from December 2023 to December 2024, respectively. While the clinical services that we provide have demonstrated attractive volume growth over the past several years, supportive care services have also demonstrated stability and growth due to the valuable nature of these services that address activities of daily living and social determinants of health. Many of our provider patients also receive their pharmacy services through the Company, which helps to optimize their pharmacy and medication care and needs, simplify their experience, and improve their satisfaction.
On January 17, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with National Mentor Holding, Inc. to divest the Company's community living services, home and community based waiver programs, and intermediate care facilities (the Community Living business ), for $835 million, subject to typical adjustments for working capital and other customary items. The Company expects the divestiture to close in 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. This transaction provides for continuity of important intellectual and developmental disability services while BrightSpring focuses on a concentrated group of customers, patients and stakeholders in the future. We believe the Company's streamlined service offerings will result in increased strategic focus, operational efficiencies, a refined payer mix, and greater clinical integration and business synergy across the Provider Services segment. The divestiture will also augment the Company's expected Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth rates and maximize exposure to target growth markets that require BrightSpring's needed and valuable solutions, such as home health, rehab, primary care, and hospice. The Company has determined the divestiture of the Community Living business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its business and therefore met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The results of operations of Community Living are excluded from continuing operations in the Company's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024.
We provide patient-centric, highly skilled, and compassionate clinical care to Seniors and others in their homes. For Seniors and other patients recovering from surgery or illness or living with chronic diseases, we provide clinical home health care in the home. We also provide physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort and support primarily for Senior patients with terminal illnesses and their families through our hospice services. Like patients receiving home health care, our interdisciplinary hospice teams tailor individualized plans for patients and their families based on a comprehensive understanding of their needs. Our hospice patients require important daily pharmacy support, which we deliver through our pharmacy services.
We are continuing to build out specialized and different primary care capabilities through our home-based primary care medical home model and platform, which we view as central to the future of optimizing patient management, including patient experiences, outcomes, and cost. Home-based primary care is more patient-centered and incorporates patients' specific objectives and goals by pro-actively addressing gaps in care and triaging health events in-place when possible, thus mitigating avoidable emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Home-based primary care coordinates care and resources for patients in pulling together previously disparate information and contact points into one place for more coordinated and informed patient care.
In addition to many of our provider patients also receiving their pharmacy services from the Company, our patients often receive multiple in-home provider services from the Company to improve outcomes, including home-based primary care and home health or hospice and transitions from home health to hospice. As more of our patients utilize the multiple needed services that they require and we provide, we pro-actively monitor patients and deploy triage tools through our Clinical (Nursing) Hub to address risks and optimize quality outcomes in real-time, particularly for higher risk patients. Within the Clinical (Nursing) Hub, we centralize on-call and tele-triage, perform high-risk patient monitoring and intervention, conduct Aftercare patient calls, and manage care coordination opportunities across the enterprise.
Our Rehab Care services provide highly-skilled patient-centric clinical care to Senior and Specialty clients and patients living with age-related acute or chronic conditions, or recovering from a catastrophic neuro event (ABI/TBI or stroke) requiring intensive therapy. These services support individuals of all ages who need various forms of expert clinical care and therapy, including ABA therapies.
We provide specialized, highly-skilled, and custom-designed rehabilitation services, including physical, speech and occupational therapy and ABA, for clients and patients of all ages with a range of injuries and conditions, including brain and spinal cord injuries, stroke, pediatric neuro conditions, and autism. Our programs are principally administered in individuals' homes and are predominantly based on individual support and clinical care plans designed to encourage greater independence and manage medical conditions.
Our Personal Care services provide home care support that assist with activities of daily living. These services allow Seniors who require long-term care and assistance with activities of daily living to maintain their independence at home with their families. These supportive care activities address social determinants of health, including dietary and nutrition management and cognitive and social engagement, among others, we offer these daily or weekly services.
Locations of Operations
We are headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky with operations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. We deliver a higher proportion of services in select regions with favorable demographics and regulatory environments.
We serve patients from and across approximately 8,000 offices, customer locations and group homes, as well as serving approximately 290,000 patients in their own homes, every day with co-location of our pharmacy and provider services in 39 states.
We are characterized by payor diversification across our platform. Our payors are principally federal, state, and local governmental agencies, commercial insurance, private, and other payors. No payor represents more than 35% of our revenue in the aggregate for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Additionally, our Medicaid payors can be further broken down across each individual state with our top 10 Medicaid states representing 6% and 7% of total Company revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The federal, state, and local programs under which we operate are subject to legislative and budgetary changes that can influence reimbursement rates.

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Business
Continued Growth of our Pharmacy Solutions Patient Populations
We focus on providing health-dependent medications in a timely and well-supported manner to our patients receiving pharmacy solutions in their home and community-based settings. Our pharmacy services are primarily delivered directly to patients in their place of residence, home, or stay, and sometimes in a clinic setting. Our high-need Senior and Specialty patients depend on closely and expertly managed daily medication regimens that are supported by pharmacist and nurse consultants whom are available in a timely and 24/7 manner. According to industry reports, pharmacy solutions delivered to and tailored for the home environment, such as home infusion services, oncology services, and daily medication management services in the home, will continue to grow faster than the overall and general pharmacy market. Each of the end markets that these home and community-based pharmacy services supply and support are growing at attractive rates, and the lack of appropriate pharmacy medication management and resulting non-adherence among complex and polypharmacy patients in homes are significant contributors to ER visits, hospitalizations and increased costs.
We have continued to expand our pharmacy capabilities to serve this need. Overall, our pharmacy has grown patient census and prescriptions by 12% over the past year. We are a leading independent pharmacy provider in our respective pharmacy patient markets, and we expect to continue to increase our share. Our growth in serving numerous patient types has been well into the double digits, including home infusion patients, specialty oncology patients, behavioral patients, in-home Seniors, and hospice patients.
Continued Growth of our Provider Services Patient Populations
Our Provider Services segment focuses on delivering high-touch and coordinated services to medically complex Senior and Specialty patients in the home and facility-based settings where they live. As the baby boomer population ages, Seniors, who comprise a significant majority of our patients, will represent a higher percentage of the overall population. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that the U.S. population aged 65 and over will grow substantially from 15% of the population in 2016 to 21% of the population by 2030, and the population size of people over age 85 is expected to double by 2040, according to the Administration for Community Living. Given the proven value proposition of home-based health services, we believe patients will increasingly seek treatment and referral sources and payors will increasingly support treatment in homes more often than in higher cost, less convenient, higher acuity institutional settings. Home health care can reduce 365-day post-discharge costs by more than $6,000 per patient, and as healthcare spending rises, home health care can improve the continuity of care while reducing overall costs. In addition, advancements in medical technology have allowed providers to expand access points and the breadth of services available in the home.
The vast majority of patients we serve in our provider businesses are served in the home, and we have purposefully continued to expand our service offering and footprint to serve patients in this lower cost setting. Over the past five years we built upon supportive care services to patients, as we have meaningfully expanded our footprint of highly clinical and expert services to home health, rehabilitation, and hospice patients to address a large national healthcare need and more completely and better serve Senior and Specialty patients in the home as evidenced by continued census growth within the Provider Services segment. Our complementary services that address the multiple needs of these patient populations will increasingly provide integrated care opportunities to provide more complete and better coordinated services to patients across health settings and stages.
As noted earlier, the Company announced the entry into a purchase agreement in January 2025 with respect to the expected sale of our Community Living business, which is expected to close in 2025, subject to customary closing
conditions. The sale of this business represents a strategic shift from our services to Behavioral populations. After closing, our focus will be primarily on Seniors and Specialty patients receiving neuro rehab.
Stable Reimbursement Environment Across our Portfolio of Businesses
Our revenue is dependent upon our contracts and relationships with payors for our must-serve patient populations. We partner with a large and diverse set of payor groups nationally and in each of our markets to form provider networks and to lower the overall cost of care. We structure our payor contracts to help both providers and payors achieve their objectives in a mutually aligned manner. Maintaining, supporting, and both deepening and increasing the number of these contracts and relationships, particularly as we continue to grow market share and enter new markets, is important for our long-term success.
We have observed relatively stable reimbursement rates from government and commercial payors in our pharmacy and provider services over a number of years, particularly for services provided to high-need, medically complex populations. Due to the medical necessity of our services, which are lower cost than healthcare services provided in other settings and reduce ER, hospital and institutional facility utilization, we have a history of reimbursement stability characterized by low-to-mid single digit rate increases across our lines of business from 2014 to 2022. Our average reimbursement rate increases based on revenue during this time period included 4.2% for personal care services associated with activity of daily living services for Seniors, 2.2% for hospice services, and 1.6% associated with long term care pharmacy services.
Culture of Quality and Compliance and Consistent Operations Execution
Quality and compliance are central to our strategies and mission. We have demonstrated leading and excellent service and customer/patient/family satisfaction scores across the organization, as referenced in prior and other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to quality and compliance resources and programs in field operations, we invest over $200 million a year, inclusive of Community Living, in people, training, auditing, signature programs, accreditations, advocacy, and technologies to support quality, compliance, and safety as part of our Quality First framework. We have demonstrated consistently high and often leading marks for service levels, satisfaction scores, and quality metrics in our industries.
For example, across our pharmacies we achieve 99.99% order accuracy and 98.63% order completeness, excellent and world class NPS, a 94% satisfaction rating from infusion patients, and a reduction in hospitalizations with CCRx, while also driving savings through medication adherence and therapeutic interchanges. We achieve 97% patient satisfaction in our outpatient rehab services, and we achieve an 85% overall rating of care in hospice (compared to the national average of 81%), hospitalizations 35% lower than the national average in our home-based primary care, and four stars (out of five) in the CAHPS home health patient survey ratings. 84% of our home health branches have a STAR rating of 4 or higher. We believe that we are positioned to identify potential medical problems and avoid adverse events due to our highly proximate position to patients and attentive care protocols, as evidenced by these quality metrics.
Operational excellence is also an ongoing focus at the Company, including how we collect and share key metrics, hold operational reviews, audit, conduct training, deploy expert support resources, execute on corrective and preventative actions, and implement continuous improvement initiatives across the organization. We have continued to make investments in automation, data, and technology systems to support enhanced workflows, further scale, and future growth across service lines.
Ability to Build De Novo Locations
We have a proven ability to augment growth of existing operations by expanding our presence and opening new locations in both of our operating segments in Pharmacy Solutions and Provider Services across geographies with consistent ramp-up in performance after site opening. We believe our platform can continue to build further scale nationally, adding density to additional and targeted key markets as a lever to facilitate maximum pharmacy and provider services overlap, integrated and value-based care, and growth. The Company's geographic and operations scale and platform of complementary segments and service lines provides us with access to more de novo opportunities to consider and prioritize.
Since January 1, 2018, we have opened 145 de novo offices (branches/agencies) and clinics in new locations across our pharmacy and provider services. In 2024, we opened 21 de novo offices. We typically identify and open new locations within proximity of an existing location as we leverage existing market knowledge and presence to expand in target markets, regions, and states. Our internal support resources in real estate, purchasing, IT, credentialing, payor contracting, HR, and sales and marketing, along with our PMO, help to support and manage de novos from start to opening. We expect to continue to selectively and strategically expand our footprint within the United States and extend our service offerings to our patients and for customers, referral sources, and payors, and we believe de novo investments facilitate more integrated care capability and are a meaningful organic growth driver for the Company.
Ability to Facilitate Integrated Care
Our operating model consists of complementary pharmacy and provider services that high-need Senior and Specialty populations require, and it is designed to increasingly coordinate, manage, and serve patients across our various needs and settings over time, leading to improved patient, family, physician, and referral source satisfaction, improved payor experiences, and better outcomes. Our performance and potential to drive increased service volume for increased patient and health outcomes impact is driven partly by our appeal with our patients, families, customers, referral sources, and payors to provide multiple integrated care services either in the same setting at the same time or across settings and stages of health within our collection of pharmacy solutions and provider services and differentiated overall capabilities.
We provide multiple pharmacy and provider services to approximately 9,000 patients today, and we believe that there are substantially more opportunities to deliver more integrated care, given the hundreds of thousands of patients we serve and a similar number of patients discharging from customers annually. Value-add, beneficial, and multiple integrated care opportunities exist for our customer base and all Senior and Specialty patient populations and not only across pharmacy and provider services, but also within each segment. Within the pharmacy services, CCRx is aimed at providing medication risk and therapy management continuously and longitudinally post discharge from hospitals and skilled nursing customers. Within the provider services, patients often transition from home health to hospice services and can receive therapy and supportive care services concurrent with each other and with home health and hospice.
Aligning to Value-Based Care Reimbursement Models with Innovative Solutions
The scale and depth of our complimentary platform of diverse yet related customer and patient services that complex patients require positions us at the forefront with governmental and commercial payors who are increasingly seeking ways to expand value-based reimbursement models. Our high-quality services that are delivered in home and facility-based and patient and family-preferred settings at lower comparable costs are well-positioned for the long-term, and we continue to add wraparound care management capabilities and offerings to our core services. In addition to our large Medicare and Medicaid beneficiary populations, we have a large number of non-governmental payor contracts across the organization today, which both diversifies our payor mix, and provides for additional value-based opportunities and partnerships.
The Company's focused build out of its (i) Home-Based Primary Care, transitional care programs, and in-home medication therapy management (CCRx), and (ii) Clinical (Nursing) Hub, are key enablers to coordinate base pharmacy and provider services and drive improved quality and lower costs for value-based care constructs.
In addition to numerous payor contracts that feature reimbursement incentives, in the past year the Company has entered into several ACO arrangements to participate in shared savings from its attributed primary care patients and other ACO partnerships and contract as a preferred provider.
Initial Public Offering
On January 30, 2024, we completed our IPO of 53,333,334 shares of common stock at a price of $13.00 per share and a concurrent offering of 8,000,000 6.75% tangible equity units ( TEUs ) with a stated amount of $50.00 per Unit (collectively, the IPO Offerings ). The net proceeds from the IPO Offerings amounted to $656.5 million and $389.0 million for the common stock and TEUs, respectively, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering-related expenses. The shares of common stock and TEUs began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 26, 2024 under the ticker symbols BTSG and BTSGU, respectively.
We used a portion of the net proceeds received from the IPO Offerings to (i) repay all indebtedness outstanding under the Second Lien Facility, (ii) repay all indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) repay $343.3 million outstanding aggregate amount under the First Lien Facility, and (iv) pay certain expenses in the offering. We retained the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes. Additionally, we paid $22.7 million of termination fees in connection with the termination of our monitoring agreement with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ( KKR ) and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (together with KKR, the Managers ) (the Monitoring Agreement ).
We granted approximately $63.3 million in non-cash share-based compensation with equity awards to our management and certain other full-time employees in January 2024 at the time of the IPO Offerings. Additionally, as previously disclosed in connection with the IPO, we granted approximately $100.0 million in non-cash share-based compensation equity awards, which equates to approximately 7.7 million restricted stock units, to certain full-time employees in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Factors Affecting Results of Operations and Comparability
Acquisitions and Divestitures
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, we completed five and eight acquisitions, respectively, within the Pharmacy Solutions and Provider Services segments. Aggregate consideration, net of cash acquired, for these acquisitions was approximately $73.1 million and $110.9 million, respectively.
As noted earlier, the Company announced the entry into a purchase agreement in January 2025 with respect to the expected sale of our Community Living business, which is expected to close in 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company has determined the divestiture of the Community Living business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its business and therefore met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The results of operations of Community Living are excluded from continuing operations in the Company's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024.
We intend to use the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt resulting in accelerated deleveraging while also increasing capital availability. We believe the divestiture will result in enhanced operational efficiency across the organization by optimizing resource allocation to further strengthen our position in our service offerings within the Pharmacy Solutions and remaining Provider Services segments by focusing on seniors and specialty populations with similar business and delivery models.
Quality Incentive Payment
As discussed under Part I, Item 1. Business , the Company was eligible to receive incentive payments in connection with a payor contract based on the Company's Net Promoter Score ( NPS ) achieved from surveys performed directly by the payor. During the second fiscal quarter of 2023, our Infusion and Specialty Pharmacy services earned a quality incentive payment ( QIP ) of approximately $30 million. The Company did not receive a QIP during the year ended December 31, 2024. The QIP program has reached its conclusion.
Legal Costs and Settlements Accrual
In November 2023, the Company agreed to settle the Silver matter without admitting liability, as discussed under Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings . On May 29, 2024, the parties entered into a final settlement agreement, which was approved by both the United States Department of Justice and the District Court. The total financial impact of the settlement is $120.0 million; $115.0 million of which was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023 as an estimate, and an incremental $5.0 million was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024 once the settlement agreement was finalized. We paid $110.0 million of the settlement in 2024, and the remainder will be paid in 2025.The District Court entered an order dismissing the Silver action in its entirety, with prejudice, on July 3, 2024. See Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies within the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Update on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
On May 11, 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services declared the COVID-19 pandemic is no longer a public health emergency. New variants could affect our operations for an extended period; however, at this time we cannot confidently forecast the duration or the ultimate financial impact on our operations, should such an impact occur. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received no funds from the Provider Relief Fund ( PRF ) and recognized no income related to the program. The Company received and recognized into income $18.8 million from the PRF for the year ended December 31, 2023. The income recognized was offset directly by the expenses incurred within selling, general, and administrative expenses in our audited consolidated statement of operations, which resulted in no net financial impact to the Company.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues. The Company recognizes the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. For transactions involving the transfer of goods, revenues are primarily recognized when the customer obtains control of the products sold, which is generally upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms specified in the sales agreement. For transactions exclusively involving provision of services, revenues are recognized over time based on an appropriate measure of progress.
Cost of Goods and Cost of Services. We classify expenses directly related to providing goods and services, including depreciation and amortization, as cost of goods and cost of services. Direct costs and expenses primarily include cost of drugs, net of rebates, salaries and benefits for direct care and service professionals, contracted labor costs, insurance costs,
transportation costs for clients requiring services, certain client expenses such as supplies and medicine, facility occupancy expenses, which primarily comprise rent and utilities, and other miscellaneous direct goods or service-related expenses.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of expenses incurred in support of our operations and administrative functions and include labor costs, such as salaries, bonuses, commissions, benefits, and travel-related expenses, distribution expenses, facilities rental costs, third-party revenue cycle management costs, and corporate support costs including finance, information technology, legal costs and settlements, human resources, procurement, and other administrative costs.
