HOUSTON, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutex Health Inc. ("Nutex Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NUTX), today announced fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Nutex Health is a physician-led, healthcare services and operations company with 27 hospital facilities in 12 states (hospital division), and a primary care-centric, risk-bearing physician network.

Financial highlights for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025:

  • Total revenue increased $395.3 million to $875.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to total revenue of $479.9 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of 82.4%. The hospital division drove most of this growth, generating $844.2 million, up 188.0% from $449.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2025. Revenue from mature hospitals, which are hospitals opened prior to December 31, 2021, increased by 73.4% in 2025 compared to 2024.
  • Of the 844.2 million in hospital revenue, $527.8 million (or approximately 63%) related to a combination of both higher acuity claims as well as success through the Independent Dispute Resolution ("IDR") process.
  • Regarding arbitration-related revenue: we have submitted between 50-60% of our claims through the IDR process. When an award determination is made, we currently prevail in over 85% of those determinations, and have an average collection rate of over 85% of the determination wins.
  • Arbitration costs approximate 26% of the arbitration related revenue.
  • Total stock-based compensation expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $117.0 million compared to $16.6 million for the same period in 2024.
  • Operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $275.6 million compared to $130.7 million for the same period in 2024, representing a $144.9 million improvement year over year.
  • Net income attributable to Nutex Health for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 of $70.8 million as compared to net income attributable to Nutex Health of $52.1 million for the same period in 2024. The $70.8 million in net income includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the form of one-time obligations of earn-out shares issuable to qualifying under construction and ramping hospitals of $117.0 million, while the $52.1 million net income includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $16.6 million.
  • Diluted EPS of $10.48 for 2025 versus diluted EPS of $9.69 for 2024.
  • EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $168.6 million, as compared to EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $98.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 70.6%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $259.6 million, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $102.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 152.6%.
  • Total visits at the Hospital Division were 188,279 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 168,388 for the same period in 2024, an increase of 19,891 or 11.8%. Visits at mature hospitals increased by 1.3% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Net cash from operating activities of $248.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
  • As of December 31, 2025, the Company had total assets of $918.5 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $185.6 million, and long-term debt, net of $29.2 million.

Financial highlights for the three months ended December 31, 2025:

  • Total revenue decreased $105.9 million to $151.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to total revenue of $257.6 million for the same period in 2024, a decrease of 41.1%.
    • The Company attributes the $105.9 million decrease primarily to two items.

1.       A one‑time $55.0 million cumulative true-up of 18,950 arbitration claims that arbitrators determined were ineligible under the IDR process. These claims were submitted for the period from July 2024 through December 2025.

      • The one-time cumulative arbitration true-up resulted from a mid‑2025 CMS directive instructing the certified independent dispute resolution entities to address and clear their backlog of disputes. The associated catch‑up reduced the number of active disputes compared to the same period in 2024 and contributed to lower net revenue for the quarter. 

2.       Arbitration revenues of $69.0 million relating to submissions during the third quarter of 2024 that were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024. Prior to September 30, 2024, the Company did not have sufficient historical data to determine the likelihood of a prevailing determination, the potential award amount, or the collectibility of such awards.

    • After considering the impact of the adjustments above, the 2025 fourth quarter revenue would be $206.7 million and the 2024 fourth quarter revenue would be $188.6 million, which resulted in a revenue increase of $18.1 million period-to-period, primarily driven by higher patient visits in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $(2.6) million compared to $14.6 million for the same period in 2024.
  • Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $30.9 million compared to $114.3 million for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $83.4 million quarter over quarter.
  • Net income attributable to Nutex Health for the three months ended December 31, 2025 of $11.8 million as compared to net income attributable to Nutex Health of $61.6 million for the same period in 2024. The $11.8 million in net income includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $(2.6) million, while the $61.6 million net income includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $14.6 million.
  • EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $25.7 million, as compared to EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $78.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 67.4%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $16.6 million, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $86.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 80.8%.
  • Total visits at the Hospital Division were 48,205 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 45,444 for the same period in 2024, an increase of 2,761 or 6.1%. Visits at mature hospitals decreased by 0.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Net cash from operating activities of $70.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2024.

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.

"We are continuing to add to a record year with 82% revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health of $259.6 million, a 126.4% increase in gross profit and a record high cash balance of $185.6 million. Our financial performance highlights the strength of the business model with our strong balance sheet positioning us well for our planned growth strategy," stated Jon Bates, Chief Financial Officer of Nutex Health.

"We are thrilled to share our exceptionally strong 2025 financial results with our investors. Compared to 2024, we delivered improvements across nearly all key financial metrics. During 2025 and early 2026, we successfully opened three new micro-hospitals, further expanding our national footprint. In addition, both ER visits and inpatient admissions grew year over year, reflecting increased demand and strengthened operational performance," stated Tom Vo, M.D, MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health.

Dr. Vo added: "Importantly, we also remediated all previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting in 2025—an accomplishment that enhances transparency, highlights the strength in our internal controls, and reinforces investor confidence. Looking ahead, we are well positioned for continued growth through a balanced strategy that includes both de novo hospital development and increased patient volumes across our existing facilities."

Share Repurchase Program

The Board of Directors has authorized a second stock repurchase program of up to $25.0 million of the Company's common stock over the next six months. The purpose of the share repurchase is to increase shareholder value and offset dilution from the future issuance of shares related to stock compensation obligations for under-construction and ramping hospitals. Pursuant to the stock repurchase program the Company may repurchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $25.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such repurchases. The stock repurchase program permits the Company to repurchase shares of common stock at any time or from time to time in open market transactions made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The timing of any repurchases and the number of shares repurchased are subject to the discretion of the Company and may be affected by various factors, including general market and economic conditions, the market price of the Company's common stock, the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and levels of indebtedness, legal requirements, and other factors that management may deem relevant. The share repurchase program authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any shares of its common stock and may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure 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 it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Nutex Health Inc. plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Nutex Health Inc. plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for stock-based compensation, certain defined items of expense and any acquisition-related costs and impairments. Interest expense includes interest on lease liabilities, which is a component of total finance lease cost. A reconciliation of net loss to 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 change provides greater transparency into our operating performance.

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