NOTE 1 NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Description of Business

LifeStance Health Group, Inc. ("LifeStance" or the "Company") operates as a provider of outpatient mental health services, spanning psychiatric evaluations and treatment, psychological and neuropsychological testing, and individual, family and group therapy.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 15 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there have been no significant changes to these policies.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting, which include the accounts of LifeStance, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which LifeStance has an interest and is the primary beneficiary. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, the Company has omitted certain information and footnote disclosures it normally includes in its annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly state its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Information

The Company has a single operating and reportable segment – mental health services. As the Company operates as one operating segment, all required segment financial information is found in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the mental health services segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss, which is reported on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as net loss. Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results for assessment of segment performance. The chief operating decision maker considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the segment. The chief operating decision maker utilizes consolidated expense information regularly provided in the budget-to-actual analysis in order to assist with assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources, which align with the consolidated expense categories as disclosed on the face of the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The chief operating decision maker does not utilize total assets in the assessment of performance and allocation of resource decisions as the assessment and decisions are not made on the basis of total assets.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a VIE. These evaluations are complex, involve judgment, and the use of estimates and assumptions based on available information. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual or ownership interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates such entity in its consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change.

The Company acquires and operates certain care centers which are deemed to be Friendly-Physician Entities (“FPEs”). As part of an FPE acquisition, the Company acquires 100% of the non-medical assets; however due to legal requirements the physician-owners must retain 100% of the equity interest. The Company’s agreements with FPEs generally consist of both a Management Service Agreement, which provides for various administrative and management services to be provided by the Company to the FPE, and Stock Transfer Restriction (“STR”) agreements with the physician-owners of the FPEs, which provide for the transition of ownership interests of the FPEs under certain conditions. The outstanding voting equity instruments of the FPEs are owned by the nominee shareholders appointed by the Company under the terms of the STR agreements. The Company has the right to receive income as an ongoing management fee, which effectively absorbs all of the residual interests and has also provided financial support through loans to the FPEs. The Company has exclusive responsibility for the provision of all nonmedical services including facilities, technology and intellectual property required for the day-to-day operation and management of each of the FPEs, and makes recommendations to the FPEs in establishing the guidelines for the employment and compensation of the physicians and other employees of the FPEs. In addition, the STR agreements provide that the Company has the right to designate an appropriately licensed person(s) to purchase the equity interest of the FPE for a nominal amount in the event of a succession event at the Company’s discretion. Based on the provisions of these agreements, the Company determined that the FPEs are VIEs due to the equity holder having insufficient capital at risk, and the Company has a variable interest in the FPEs.

The contractual arrangements described above allow the Company to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the FPEs. Accordingly, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the FPEs and consolidates the FPEs under the VIE model. Furthermore, as a direct result of nominal initial equity contributions by the physicians, the financial support the Company provides to the FPEs (e.g., loans) and the provisions of the contractual arrangements and nominee shareholder succession arrangements described above, the interests held by noncontrolling interest holders lack economic substance and do not provide them with the ability to participate in the residual profits or losses generated by the FPEs. Therefore, all income and expenses recognized by the FPEs are allocated to the Company. The Company does not hold interests in any VIEs for which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

As noted previously, the Company acquires 100% of the non-medical assets of the VIEs. The aggregate carrying values of the VIEs' total assets and total liabilities not purchased by the Company but included on the consolidated balance sheets were not material at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

NOTE 3 TOTAL REVENUE

The Company’s total revenue is dependent on a series of contracts with third-party payors, which is typical for providers in the healthcare industry.

NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including an interest rate swap, for hedging and non-trading purposes to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The Company entered into a hedge transaction (interest rate swap) using a derivative financial instrument for the purpose of hedging the Company’s exposure to interest rate risks, which the contractual terms of the hedged instrument closely mirror those of the hedged item, providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation. The objective of entering into the interest rate swap is to eliminate the variability of cash flows in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") interest payments associated with the variable-rate loan over the life of the loan. In August 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to pay a fixed rate of 3.24% on a total notional value of$189,000 of debt. As a result of the interest rate swap,94.5% of the term loan previously exposed to interest rate risk from changes in SOFR is now hedged against the interest rate swap at a fixed rate. The interest rate swap matures on September 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the notional value was$183,803. As changes in interest rates impact the future cash flow of interest payments, the hedge provides a synthetic offset to interest rate movements.

The Company used the income approach to value the derivative for the interest rate swap using observable market data for all significant inputs and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount, assuming that participants are motivated but not compelled to transact. This derivative instrument (interest rate swap) is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, with the entire gain or loss on the derivative reported as a component of other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are released to earnings in the same period that the hedged transaction impacts consolidated earnings within interest expense, net. The cash flows from the derivative treated as a cash flow hedge is classified in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the item being hedged.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company included immaterial gains on the hedged instrument (variable-rate borrowings) in the same line item (interest expense, net) as the offsetting gain on the related interest rate swap in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The following table summarizes the location of the interest rate swap in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets:

The amount of estimated cash flow hedge unrealized gains and losses that are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months is not material.

Fair Value Measured on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

NOTE 8 LONG-TERM DEBT

On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) among LifeStance Health Holdings, Inc., Lynnwood Intermediate Holdings, Inc., Capital One, National Association, and each lender party thereto. The 2024 Credit Agreement established a senior secured term loan facility of $290,000 and a senior secured revolving loan facility of up to $100,000. The Company borrowed $290,000 in term loans, payable in quarterly principal and interest payments, with a maturity date of December 19, 2029. The loans under the term loan facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) term SOFR (which term SOFR is subject to a minimum of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin of 3.00% subject to stepdowns based on leverage-based metrics or (y) an alternate base rate (which will be the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii)0.50% above the federal funds effective rate and (iii) one-month term SOFR (which term SOFR is subject to a minimum of 0.00%) plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin of 2.00% subject to stepdowns based on leverage-based metrics. The term loans are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The revolving loan has interest only payments until the maturity date of December 19, 2029.

The 2024 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain restrictive financial covenants related to earnings, leverage ratios, and other financial metrics. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Long-term debt consists of the following:

The unamortized debt issue costs related to long-term debt are presented as a reduction of the carrying amount of the corresponding liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized debt issue costs related to revolving loans are presented within other noncurrent assets on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The current portion of long-term debt is included within other current liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Interest expense, net consists of the following:

Future principal payments on long-term debt as of June 30, 2025 are as follows:

The fair value of long-term debt is based on the present value of future payments discounted by the market interest rates or the fixed rates based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities, which is a Level 2 fair value measurement. Long-term debt is presented at carrying value on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of long-term debt at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was$284,484 and$287,109, respectively.

Revolving Loan

Under the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company has a revolving loan commitment in the amount of $100,000. Any borrowing on the revolving loan under the 2024 Credit Agreement is due in full on December 19, 2029. The revolving loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) term SOFR (which term SOFR is subject to a minimum of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin of 3.00% subject to stepdowns based on leverage-based metrics or (y) an alternate base rate (which will be the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii)0.50% above the federal funds effective rate and (iii) one-month term SOFR (which term SOFR is subject to a minimum of 0.00%) plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin of 2.00% subject to stepdowns based on leverage-based metrics. The unused revolving loan incurs a quarterly undrawn commitment fee of 0.45% per annum subject to stepdowns based on leverage-based metrics.

There areno amounts outstanding on the revo lving loan as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Professional Liability Insurance

The Company's medical malpractice insurance coverage is subject to a$3,000 per claim limit and an annual aggregate shared limit of$8,000. Should the claims-made policy not be renewed or replaced with equivalent insurance, claims based on occurrences during its term, but reported subsequently, would be uninsured. The Company is not aware of any unasserted claims, unreported incidents, or claims outstanding that are expected to exceed malpractice insurance coverage limits as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Health Care Industry

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not necessarily limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, and government healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare fraud and abuse. Recently, government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers. Violation of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services billed.

Laws and regulations concerning government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, are complex and subject to varying interpretation. As a result of investigations by governmental agencies, various healthcare companies have received requests for information and notices regarding alleged noncompliance with those laws and regulations, which, in some instances, have resulted in companies entering into significant settlement agreements. Compliance with such laws and regulations may also be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action, including fines, penalties, and potential exclusion from the related programs. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will not challenge the Company’s compliance with these laws and regulations, and it is not possible to determine the impact (if any) such claims or penalties would have upon the Company. In addition, the contracts the Company has with commercial payors also provide for retroactive audit and review of claims.

Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with fraud and abuse as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. While no regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations is subject to government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

General Contingencies

The Company is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions, injuries to employees, and natural disasters. These risks are covered by commercial insurance purchased from independent third parties. There has been no significant reduction in insurance coverage from the previous year in any of the Company’s policies.

Litigation

The Company may be involved from time-to-time in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its business. Liabilities related to loss contingencies are recognized when the Company believes it is probable a liability has occurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated by management.

NOTE 12 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares of the Company outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when the Company has a net loss, stock-based awards are excluded from the calculation of loss per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the Company’s common shares:

The Company has issued potentially dilutive instruments in the form of RSAs, RSUs and stock options. The following potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been anti-dilutive:
