HOUSTON, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nutex Health Inc. (“Nutex Health” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NUTX), today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. 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 three months ended March 31, 2026:

• Total revenue increased 2.2% to $216.5 million compared to $211.8 million for the same period in 2025, driven by 1.8% growth in hospital division revenue to $207.6 million from $203.9 million, while revenue at same hospitals, which are hospitals that were opened by December 31, 2024, increased 0.2%.
• Net income attributable to Nutex Health increased to $46.8 million, or diluted EPS of $6.52, compared to $21.2 million, or diluted EPS of $3.33, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
• EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health was $68.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Nutex Health was $57.6 million, compared to $51.5 million and $72.8 million, respectively, for the months ended March 31, 2025.
• Total visits at the Hospital Division increased 3.1% year over year to 49,742, while visits at same hospitals increased 0.6%.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $75.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $51.0 million for the same period in 2025; and as of March 31, 2026, the Company had long-term debt, net of $24.3 million, down from $29.2 million 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.

Within the hospital division, revenue from same hospitals increased 0.2% compared to the first quarter 2025, while a meaningful portion of total hospital revenue continued to be supported by higher acuity claims and favorable outcomes in the Independent Dispute Resolution (“IDR”) process. The Company has submitted between 50–60% of its claims through IDR; when an award determination is made, Nutex Health currently prevails in over 85% of those determinations and collects, on average, over 80% of the award amounts, with arbitration costs approximating 35% of arbitration-related revenue. Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $(3.9) million, compared to $27.6 million for the same period in 2025. Net income attributable to Nutex Health increased 120.6% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, underscoring strong operating cash generation and execution of its planned growth strategy.

“The 2026 year has started out strong producing solid revenue of $216.5 million, net income attributable to Nutex of $46.8 million, diluted EPS of $6.52 per share and $75.5 million of operating cash flow in the quarter. Our balance sheet remains very strong with a record high cash balance of $207.3 million. We are well positioned for our planned growth of three new hospital openings later this year,” stated Jon Bates, Chief Financial Officer of Nutex Health.

“2026 is off to a solid start as we are pleased to share our first set of 2026 financial results. Operationally, we continue to make significant progress in strengthening internal processes and targeted investments designed to drive both patient volumes and inpatient admissions,” stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health.

Dr. Vo continues: “We remain on track to target a sustainable development pace of three to five hospitals annually. Importantly, our Board of Directors has approved Nutex Health to begin selective self-development of new facilities through our real estate division starting in 2026, evaluated on a case-by-case basis. This strategic investment underscores our confidence in the long‑term growth opportunities and ensures that our hospital development pipeline remains strong and durable.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

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, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Interest expense 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 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. 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 follows (in thousands):
