• Net cash provided by operating activities was $78.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $99.5 million for the same period in 2025.

• Net income attributable to Nutex Health increased to $152.9 million, or diluted EPS of $21.50, compared to $59.0 million, or diluted EPS of $8.87, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

• As of September 30, 2026, the Company had total assets of $1.0 billion, including cash and cash equivalents of $249.9 million, as compared to $918.5 million in total assets and $185.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.

Note: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial metrics. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is included below in this earnings release.

Total revenue decreased 10.9% to $644.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $723.6 million for the same period in 2025, while hospital division revenue at same hospitals decreased 11.2%. Total revenue decreased 18.7% to $217.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $267.8 million for the same period in 2025, while hospital division revenue at same hospitals decreased 20.1%. The decrease was primarily driven by factors that favorably impacted revenue recognized in 2025, including the availability of additional collection data that supported higher estimates for services rendered in 2024, and the reconciliation of certain ineligible charts during the fourth quarter of 2025 that had been included from mid-2024 through the first nine months of 2025.

Of the Company's billable visits, approximately 50-60% are submitted through the IDR process, with 40-50% of all billable visits resulting in an award determination. When an award determination is made, Nutex Health prevailed in over 80% of those determinations over the last nine months and collects, on average, over 80% of the award amounts as calculated on awards from inception through March of 2026.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, total cost of arbitration was $27.8 million and $61.4 million, respectively, compared to $41.9 million and $116.2 million for the same periods in 2025. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 include a $52.3 million reduction to contract services expense resulting from a change in estimate related to the June 30, 2026 amendment to the Company's agreement with HaloMD and the reduction in the CMS administrative fee, which increased net income attributable to Nutex Health by $25.0 million, or $4.83 per diluted share.

Total stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $6.4 million, compared to $119.6 million for the same period in 2025. Net income attributable to Nutex Health increased 159% in the first nine months of 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower stock-based compensation related to obligations for under-construction and ramping hospitals.

"2026 is continuing to be a solid financial year, including total revenue of $644.9 million, net income attributable to Nutex of $152.9 million, diluted EPS of $21.50 per share, and $188.1 million of operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2026. We also delivered meaningful operating income improvement, with operating income increasing to $280.1 million for the first nine months of 2026 from $244.7 million in the same period of 2025. Our balance sheet remains strong with a cash balance of $249.9 million and long-term debt of $34.2 million. We believe that we are well positioned to finish the year strong as we continue to grow with the expected opening of two new hospitals in the fourth quarter," stated Jon Bates, Chief Financial Officer of Nutex Health.

"We're very pleased with our progress in the first nine months of 2026. Patient volumes are growing across both existing hospitals and the overall network, while cash collections remain strong. Our de novo hospital development pipeline remains robust, with exciting growth opportunities ahead," stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful because these measures allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance.

We define EBITDA as net income attributable to Nutex Health Inc. plus interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Interest expense, net includes interest on lease liabilities, which is a component of total finance lease cost.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Nutex Health Inc. plus interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for stock-based compensation, finance lease payments related to leases under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842: Leases ("ASC 842"), certain defined items of expense and any acquisition-related costs and impairments. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included below.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, we have updated our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to separately disclose finance lease payments related to leases under ASC 842. We believe this update provides greater transparency into our operating performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to serve as alternatives to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA follow (in thousands):
