Segment Reporting
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. We have identified the Chief Executive Officer as our CODM.
Historically, we had two operating business segments: (1) Corporate Clinics, and (2) Franchise Operations. The Corporate Clinics segment is comprised of the activities of the company-owned or managed clinics. In the fourth quarter of 2024, as part of our refranchising strategy, all but one of the company-owned or managed clinics in the Corporate Clinic segment met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024 (Refer to Note 3, Divestitures for financial information on the discontinued operating Corporate Clinics segment). Therefore, since December 31, 2024, we have had one reportable segment: Franchise Operations. As of December 31, 2025, all company-owned or managed clinics in the Corporate Clinic segment met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 205-20, Discontinued Operations, expenses that in prior periods were partially allocated to the Corporate Clinic segment that are not wholly related to the activity of the segment have been recast to be presented in continuing operations, which is now Franchise Operations. Additionally, any expenses previously identified as Corporate Unallocated have been allocated entirely to the Franchise Operations segment.
The Franchise Operations segment is comprised of the operating activities of the franchise business unit. The Franchise Operations segment derives revenue primarily from customers by providing access to our franchise license, which represents symbolic intellectual property (See Note 2, Revenue Disclosures for additional details). The Franchise Operations segment is managed on a consolidated basis because all operations are located within a similar economic and regulatory environment, provide the same services and share the same business model and pricing strategies. As of December 31, 2025, the franchise system consisted of 885 clinics in operation. The accounting policies for the franchise segment are the same as those described in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The CODM uses the following metrics to
assess performance and determine how to allocated resources; Net Income, Gross Profit, Operating Income, and Adjusted EBITDA. Net Income, Gross Profit, and Operating Income are reported on the consolidated income statements. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Non-GAAP Financial Measures and is reconciled back to consolidated Net loss from continuing operations on the consolidated income statements. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses these financial measures to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits in the Franchise Segment or into other parts of the entity, such as new products or services, expanding into new geographic territories, acquisitions or reacquisitions, or stock buybacks. Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are used to monitor budget verses actual results. The CODM also uses Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with certain non-financial metrics in competitive analysis by benchmarking to our competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted verses actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation.
The following table summarizes total revenue and significant expense categories and amounts for our reportable segment that aligns with the segment level information that is regularly provided to the CODM:

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
