Overview

Teladoc, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Texas in June 2002 and changed its state of incorporation to the State of Delaware in October 2008. Effective August 10, 2018, Teladoc, Inc. changed its corporate name to Teladoc Health, Inc. Unless the context otherwise requires, Teladoc Health, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to herein as "Teladoc Health" or the "Company". The Company's principal executive office is located in Purchase, New York. Teladoc Health is the global leader in providing virtual healthcare services with a focus on high quality, lower costs, and improved outcomes around the world.

Teladoc Health solutions are transforming the access, cost and quality dynamics of healthcare delivery for all of our market participants. Members rely on Teladoc Health to remotely access affordable, on-demand healthcare whenever and wherever they choose. Our Clients on behalf of their employees or beneficiaries as well as direct-to consumer individuals (D2C) purchase our solutions to reduce their healthcare spending and offer convenient, affordable, high-quality healthcare to their employees or beneficiaries. Our network of physicians and other healthcare professionals, or our providers have the ability to generate meaningful income and deliver their services more efficiently with no administrative burden.





COVID-19 Update


We believe that favorable existing macro trends were accelerated by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, driving greater consumer trial and use of virtual care, and increased adoption by employers, health plans, hospitals and health systems, and health care providers. In combination with the expansion of our capabilities, we believe that these trends present significant opportunities for virtual healthcare to address the most pressing, universal healthcare challenges through trusted solutions, such as ours, that deliver convenient, high quality care; empower consumers to manage and improve their health; and enable providers to offer their best care for their patients.

We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 increased utilization of our telehealth services, but it is uncertain whether such increase in demand will continue. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on our financial

condition and results of operations to date, the future impact on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, impact on our Clients and Members, impact on our sales cycles, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and disruptions to our operations and the operations of our third-party suppliers, along with any related global slowdown in economic activity, may result in decreased revenues, decreased collections, and increased costs. Further, the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have financially constrained some of our prospective and existing Clients' healthcare spending, which may negatively impact our ability to acquire new Clients and our ability to renew subscriptions with or sell additional solutions to our existing Clients. We also may experience increased Member attrition to the extent our existing Clients' reduce their respective workforces in response to economic conditions. In addition, due to our subscription-based business model, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our revenue until future periods. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic, the measures taken by the governments and businesses affected and any resulting economic impact may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial positions as well as our customers.

We have also taken measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including temporarily closing our offices and implementing a work from home policy for our workforce; limiting capacity at our offices that have reopened; implementing additional safety policies and procedures for employees working in our offices that have reopened; suspending employee travel and in person meetings; and adjusting our supply chain and inventory levels. We may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, Clients, Members, and stockholders. The effects of these operational modifications are unknown and may not be realized until further reporting periods.





Revenue



We have a demonstrated track record of driving growth both organically and through acquisitions. We increased revenue 151% to $453.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, including an incremental $149.0 million from acquired businesses. Excluding the impact of the InTouch, Livongo and Consultant Connect acquisitions, revenue increased 69%, reflecting the acceleration of the adoption of virtual care stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company's broad momentum to transform the healthcare experience.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 86%, 12% and 2% of our revenue was derived from subscription access fees, visit fees and other, respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, 76% and 24% of our revenue were derived from subscription access fees and visit fees, respectively. We believe our continued strong subscription fee revenue is mainly representative of the value proposition we provide the broader healthcare system.

Membership, Visits and Platform Enabled Sessions

We completed approximately 3.2 million telehealth visits in the first three months of 2021 and approximately 10.6 million telehealth visits for the full year of 2020. U.S. Paid Membership was 51.5 million at March 31, 2021. We also completed approximately 1.1 million platform-enabled sessions associated with InTouch during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.





Acquisition History


We have scaled and intend to continue to scale our platform through the pursuit of selective acquisitions. We have completed multiple acquisitions since our inception, which we believe have expanded our distribution capabilities and broadened our service offerings.

On January 4, 2021, we completed the acquisition of the UK-based telemedicine provider Consultant Connect for an aggregate consideration of $56.3 million, net of cash acquired, of which $55.9 million was paid in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Consultant Connect provides a platform that specializes in facilitating healthcare professional-to-professional advice and guidance in the United Kingdom.

On October 30, 2020, we completed the merger with Livongo. Upon completion of the merger, each share of Livongo's common stock converted into the right to receive 0.5920 shares of Teladoc Health's common stock and $4.24 in cash, without interest. In addition, in connection with the closing of the merger, Livongo paid a special cash dividend equal to $7.09 per share to shareholders of Livongo as of a record date of October 29, 2020. The total consideration was $13,876.9 million consisting of $380.2 million of net cash, $555.4 million related to the conversion feature of the Livongo Notes guaranteed by the Company and 60.2 million shares of Teladoc Health's common stock valued at approximately $12,941.3 million on October 30, 2020. Livongo is a leading provider to empower people with chronic conditions to live better and healthier lives.

On July 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of InTouch for aggregate consideration of $1,069.8 million, which was comprised of 4.6 million shares of our common stock valued at $903.3 million on July 1, 2020, and $166.5 million of net cash. InTouch is a leading provider of enterprise telehealth solutions for hospitals and health systems.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our future performance will depend on many factors, including the following:

Number of Members. Our revenue growth rate and long-term profitability are affected by our ability to increase our number of Members because we derive a substantial portion of our revenue from subscription access fees via Client contracts that provide Members access to our professional provider network in exchange for a contractual based monthly fee or subscription access fees derived from our D2C Members. Therefore, we believe that our ability to add new Members is a key indicator of our increasing market adoption, the growth of our business and future revenue potential, and that increasing our Membership is an integral objective that will provide us with the ability to continually innovate our services and support initiatives that will enhance Members' experiences. U.S. Paid Membership was 51.5 million at March 31, 2021.

Number of Visits. We also recognize revenue in connection with the completion of a general medical visit, expert medical service, and other specialty visits for the majority of our contracts. Accordingly, our visit revenue, or visit fees, generally increase as the number of visits increase. Visit fee revenue is driven primarily by the number of Clients, the number of Members in a Client's population, Member utilization of our provider network services and the contractually negotiated prices of our services. We believe that increasing our current Member utilization rate and increasing penetration further into existing and new health plan Clients is a key objective in order for our Clients to realize tangible healthcare savings with our service. Visits increased by 56%, or 1.1 million, to approximately 3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Number Platform Enabled of Sessions. A platform-enabled session is a unique instance in which our licensed software platform has facilitated a virtual voice or video encounter between a care provider and our Client's patient, or between care providers. We believe platform-enabled sessions are an indicator of the value our Clients derive from the platform they license from us in order to facilitate virtual care. Over time, we expect platform-enabled sessions to outpace overall revenue growth as telehealth becomes a bigger part of our Clients' care delivery strategy. Our Clients completed 1.1 million platform-enabled sessions during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Seasonality. We typically experience the strongest increases in consecutive quarterly revenue during the fourth and first quarters of each year, which coincides with traditional annual benefit enrollment seasons. In particular, as a result of many Clients' introduction of new services at the very end of the current year, or the start of each year, a high concentration of our new Client contracts has an effective date of January 1. Therefore, while Membership increases, utilization is dampened until service delivery ramps up over the course of the year. Additionally, our business has become more diversified across services, channels, and geographies. We continue to see a diversification of Client start dates, resulting from our health plan expansions, cross sales of new services, international growth, and mid-market employer growth, all of which are not constrained by a calendar year start.

As a result of national seasonal cold and flu trends, we typically experience our highest level of visit fees during the first and fourth quarters of each year. Conversely, the second quarter of the year has historically been the period of lowest utilization of our provider network services relative to the other quarters of the year. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2020, we did not experience the typical seasonality associated with national cold and flu outbreaks.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, accounting for business combinations, goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets, capitalized development costs, earnout, rental equipment, advances from financing companies, income taxes, lease liabilities, loss contingencies and the value of securities underlying stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates see Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC, and there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during 2021 other than those as discussed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
