(All results compared to prior-year comparative period, unless otherwise noted)
Q3 2022 Highlights and FY 2022 Outlook
- Revenue of $217.6 million increased $43.8 million or 25% compared to revenue of $173.8 million
- Total clinicians of 5,431 up 24%, a net increase of 205 in the third quarter
- Net loss of $37.9 million compared to net loss of $120.5 million, primarily driven by stock-based compensation expense of $34.9 million
- Adjusted EBITDA of positive $15.4 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of positive $10.7 million
- Expecting full year 2022 revenue of $845 to $850 million, Center Margin of $229 to $232 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $50 to $53 million, due to lower than expected visit volume and higher than expected costs associated with the company’s employee health benefits program

(All results compared to prior-year period, unless otherwise noted)
- Revenue grew 25% to $217.6 million. Strong revenue growth was supported by a 24% net increase in total clinicians, driven by hiring and acquisitions. Third quarter revenue performance fell slightly below expectations due to lower than expected visit volume.
- Loss from operations of $38.8 million, primarily driven by stock-based compensation expense of $34.9 million. Net loss of $37.9 million.
- Center Margin grew 16% to $60.3 million, or 27.7% of revenue. Center Margin as a percentage of revenue declined year-over-year due to revenue growing slower than center occupancy costs. The quarter was also impacted by higher than expected costs associated with the company’s employee health benefits program.
- Adjusted EBITDA grew 44% to $15.4 million, or 7.1% of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue increased due to improved leverage in operating expenses, partially offset by the decrease in Center Margin as a percentage of revenue.
Strategy and Key Developments
During the third quarter, LifeStance took several actions to support the company’s strategy to expand into new markets, build market density and offer a technology-enabled experience for patients and clinicians, including:
- Drove 24% year-over-year growth to 5,431 clinicians with the addition of 205 net clinicians in the quarter, demonstrating that the company’s value proposition continues to resonate in the market
- Completed three acquisitions, bringing the total since inception to 86
- Opened 13 de novo centers to support the company's differentiated hybrid model offering both in-person and virtual care
- Continued to deploy proprietary online booking and intake experience ("OBIE") across the country, which is now live in fourteen states
- Ken Burdick was appointed as the company's new Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, effective September 7. Burdick is an accomplished industry veteran with over 40 years of healthcare experience and a track record of driving profitable growth. Most recently, Burdick served as Executive Vice President of National Markets and Products at Centene, where he led all health plans before retiring in January 2021. Prior to that, Burdick served as President and CEO of WellCare from 2015 until it was acquired by Centene in January 2020. He also held numerous roles of increasing responsibility at UnitedHealth Group and Cigna. At UnitedHealth, he served as CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
- Burdick succeeds Michael Lester, who served as the company's founding Chief Executive Officer and Chairman since 2017 and retired in September. Lester will continue to serve as a Strategic Advisor to the company.
- Danish Qureshi was appointed to President, in addition to his role as Chief Operating Officer.
- Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, J. Michael Bruff, currently Chief Financial Officer, was appointed to a new role as Business Transformation Officer, effective November 10, 2022. David Bourdon will join the company and succeed Bruff as Chief Financial Officer.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, LifeStance provided $16.9 million cash flow from operations, including $5.7 million during the third quarter of 2022. The company ended the third quarter with cash of $90.3 million and net long-term debt of $212.0 million.
2022 Guidance1
LifeStance now expects full year 2022 revenue of $845 to $850 million, Center Margin of $229 to $232 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $50 to $53 million. The lower guidance ranges relative to prior expectations were primarily driven by lower than expected visit volume and higher than expected costs associated with the company’s employee health benefits program.
For the fourth quarter of 2022, the company expects revenue of $215 million to $220 million, Center Margin of $55 million to $58 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $7.5 million to $10.5 million.

They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: we may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may imply future growth, including if we are unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives and business strategies; if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our expenses could increase more than expected, our revenue may not increase proportionally or at all, and we may be unable to execute on our business strategy; our ability to recruit new clinicians and retain existing clinicians; if reimbursement rates paid by third-party payors are reduced or if third-party payors otherwise restrain our ability to obtain or deliver care to patients, our business could be harmed; we conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with these laws and government regulations, we could incur penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations or experience adverse publicity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition; we are dependent on our relationships with affiliated practices, which we do not own, to provide health care services, and our business would be harmed if those relationships were disrupted or if our arrangements with these entities became subject to legal challenges; we operate in a competitive industry, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed; the impact of health care reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in health care spending on us is currently unknown, but may harm our business; if our or our vendors’ security measures fail or are breached and unauthorized access to our employees’, patients’ or partners’ data is obtained, our systems may be perceived as insecure, we may incur significant liabilities, including through private litigation or regulatory action, our reputation may be harmed, and we could lose patients and partners; our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems; actual or anticipated changes or fluctuations in our results of operations; our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our business and growth prospects; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors” included in the reports we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Center Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Tables showing the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are included at the end of this release. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company’s operating performance, and may be helpful to securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in understanding the company’s operating performance and prospects. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not be comparable to companies in other industries or within the same industry with similarly titled measures of performance. Therefore, the company’s non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net loss or loss from operations.
Center Margin and Adjusted EBITDA anticipated for the fourth quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 are calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of these measures at the end of this release. Reconciliation for the forward-looking fourth quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 Center Margin and Adjusted EBITDA guidance is not being provided, as LifeStance does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation. As such, LifeStance management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results.
Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results.
