Through the Lemonaid Acquisition in November 2021, the Company has service agreements with PMCs and Affiliated Pharmacies. In order for customers to obtain a prescription, customers must complete a consultation through the Company’s website or app with an appropriately licensed medical provider from one of the PMCs. A customer will receive an electronic prescription that will be sent to an Affiliated Pharmacy, or a pharmacy of the customer’s choice, only if the medical provider believes such medical treatment of the customer is safe and appropriate. On February 15, 2024, the Company acquired the active Affiliated Pharmacies. These Affiliated Pharmacies are 100% wholly owned by the Company and no longer treated as Variable Interest Entities. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of these entities being acquired by the Company. The Company provides services pursuant to contracts with the PMCs which employ licensed medical providers to provide telehealth medical services. The PMCs were designed and structured to comply with the relevant laws and regulations governing professional medical practice, which generally prohibit the practice of medicine by lay persons or corporations. To satisfy these regulatory requirements, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the PMCs are owned by an appropriately licensed medical professional nominated by the Company (the “Nominee Shareholder”). The Company executes with each PMC an MSA, which provides for various administrative, technological, and management services to be provided by the Company to the PMCs, licenses certain Company intellectual property to the PMC, and gives the Company rights to impose certain restrictions and conditions of ownership or transfer of the PMC equity by the Nominee Shareholder. The Company provides all of the necessary capital for the operations of the PMCs through loans to the PMCs. The Company also has exclusive responsibility for the provision of all nonmedical services including operation of all technology platforms used by the PMCs or customers to complete a medical consultation with a Provider, handling all financial transactions and day-to-day operations of each PMC, providing regulatory guidance to the PMCs in establishing telehealth policies and protocols consistent with state and federal law, and making recommendations to the PMCs in establishing the guidelines for employment and compensation of the medical professionals of each PMC. In addition, the MSA provides that the Company has the power and authority to change the Nominee Shareholder upon termination of the MSA, including for convenience upon 180 days prior notice, or other enumerated events, and designate a new Nominee Shareholder, which further constrains the Nominee Shareholder’s rights to returns of the PMC. The Nominee Shareholders, notwithstanding their legal form of ownership of equity interests in the PMCs, have no substantive profit-sharing rights in the PMCs. The Company has also entered into similar MSAs with the Affiliated Pharmacies. The Affiliated Pharmacies are licensed pharmacies primarily responsible for providing prescription fulfillment services to the Company’s customers. The Company provides management and administrative services to the Affiliated Pharmacies comparable to the services it provides to the PMCs, except that the Company is the sole provider of professional staffing services required to operate the Affiliated Pharmacies. Under the terms of the MSAs with the Affiliated Pharmacies, the Nominee Shareholders, notwithstanding their legal form of ownership of equity interests in the Affiliated Pharmacies, have no substantive profit-sharing rights in the Affiliated Pharmacies. Based upon the provisions of these agreements, the Company determined that the PMCs and Affiliated Pharmacies are VIEs (the Affiliated Pharmacies were VIEs through February 15, 2024) due to the respective equity holders having nominal capital at risk, and the Company has a variable interest in each of the PMCs and Affiliated Pharmacies. The Company consolidated the PMCs and Affiliated Pharmacies under the VIE model since the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Under the VIE model, the Company presents the results of operations and the financial position of the VIEs as part of the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Furthermore, as a direct result of the financial support the Company provides to the VIEs (e.g., loans), the interests held by holders lack economic substance and do not provide them with the ability to participate in the residual profits or losses generated by the VIEs. Therefore, all income and expenses recognized by the VIEs are allocated to the Company’s stockholders.
The aggregate carrying value of total assets and total liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheets for the VIEs after elimination of intercompany transactions were not material as of March 31, 2025 and 2024. Total revenue included on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the VIEs after elimination of intercompany transactions was $3.5 million and $30.2 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company maintains the ability to control the VIEs, is entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs, and is obligated to absorb all expected losses of the VIEs.
