10. Variable Interest Entities

The Company’s VIEs consist of both VIE Physician Practices and Franchise Centers.

VIE Physician Practices

The VIE Physician Practices are wholly owned, from an equity ownership perspective and for certain regulatory reasons, by certain physicians (the “Physician Owners”) who are employed by the Company or a VIE Physician Practice. The VIE Physician Practices were established to operate as medical radiology practices and provide their patients with professional interpretation services. At various points between 2018 and 2023, via the establishment or acquisition of the MSOs and execution of the ASAs and other contractual agreements, the Company acquired a controlling financial interest in the VIE Physician Practices (described below in detail). Through the ASAs, the MSOs have exclusive responsibility for the provision of non-medical services required for the day-to-day operation and management of each of the VIE Physician Practices, including establishing annual capital and operating budgets, and making recommendations to the VIE Physician Practices in establishing the guidelines for the employment and compensation for the physicians and other employees of the VIE Physician Practices. Via other contractual agreements, the Company has the right to designate an appropriate licensed person(s) to purchase the equity interest of the VIE Physician Practices for nominal amount in the event of a transfer event at the Company’s discretion.

In assessing whether the Company should consolidate the VIE Physician Practices, the Company evaluated whether it has a variable interest in the VIE Physician Practices, whether the VIE Physician Practices are VIEs, and whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE Physician Practices. The Company concluded that it has variable interests in the VIE Physician Practices on the basis that the Company has the right to receive income as an ongoing management fee under the ASAs, which effectively absorbs all of the residual interests of the VIE Physician Practices. The Company also has the implicit obligation to absorb losses of the VIE Physician Practices and to additionally provide, in certain circumstances, cash advances to the VIE Physician Practices if the VIE Physician Practices have insufficient funds. The Company did not provide any such cash advances to the VIE Physician Practices during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. The Company determined the VIE Physician Practices are VIEs due to insufficient equity at risk and/or the holders of the equity at risk in the VIE Physician Practices (i.e., the Physician Owners) lacking the power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE Physician Practices’ economic performance.

The contractual arrangements described above allow the Company to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE Physician Practices. Accordingly, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE Physician Practices and consolidates the VIE Physician Practices under the VIE model.

Franchise Centers

The Franchise Centers operate as franchisees of AHI and are wholly owned, from an equity ownership perspective and for certain regulatory reasons, by certain radiologists (the “Franchisees”) who have contracts with and provide clinical services to the patients of the Franchise Centers. The Franchise Centers were established to operate as medical radiology practices and imaging centers offering patients MRI, CT, and ultrasound imaging services. Through the franchise agreements and management service agreements (“MSAs”), AHI has exclusive responsibility for the provision of non-medical services required for the day-to-day operation and management of each of the Franchise Centers, including establishing annual capital and operating budgets and makes recommendations to the Franchise Centers in establishing the guidelines for the physicians and other employees of the Franchise Centers. The franchise agreements also restrict the Franchisees’ ability to transfer the ownership interest without AHI’s approval.

In assessing whether AHI should consolidate the Franchise Centers, the Company evaluated whether AHI holds a variable interest in the Franchise Centers, if the Franchise Centers are VIEs, and whether AHI has a controlling financial interest in the Franchise Centers. The Company concluded that AHI has the right to receive income as an ongoing management fee under the MSAs, which effectively absorbs all of the residual interest of the Franchise Centers. AHI also has the implicit obligation to absorb losses of the Franchise Centers and to additionally provide, in certain circumstances, cash advances to the Franchise Centers, if the Franchise Centers have insufficient funds. AHI did not provide any such cash advances to the Franchise Centers during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. The Company determined that the Franchise Centers are considered VIEs because their equity at risk is insufficient to finance their activities without additional support.

The contractual arrangements above allow AHI to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Franchise Centers’ economic performance. Thus, AHI is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the Franchise Centers.

Total assets and liabilities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets associated with the Franchise Centers were $7.6 million and $7.2 million and $5.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

As a direct result of the nominal initial equity contributions by the Physician Owners and the Franchisees and the provisions of the contractual arrangements described above, the interests held by the noncontrolling interest holders of the Company’s VIEs (inclusive of the VIE Physician Practices and the Franchise Centers) lack economic substance and do not provide them with any right to participate in residual profits or losses generated by the Company’s VIEs. These rights are instead implicit in the corporate governance laws governing the relevant VIE’s constitutive documents by virtue of the fact that such noncontrolling interest holders are the sole owners of the equity of the relevant VIE. However, after paying relevant expenses, including clinical staff salaries as well as administrative service fees to the Company, the VIEs do not have residual profits remaining. Additionally, because the Company absorbs all expected losses of its VIEs through its deferral of administrative service fees and the Company expects that its VIEs will continue to have a shortfall on their payment of such administrative service fees, noncontrolling interest holders in the VIEs are not expected to be allocated any residual profits, losses, dividends or liquidation proceeds. Therefore, the noncontrolling interests in the VIEs have no material value and the income and expenses recognized by the VIEs are attributable in totality to the Company.

The Company has not identified any VIEs during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025, for which the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary and thus did not consolidate. No VIEs were deconsolidated during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
