MSP Recovery Announces Fiscal Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Recognized Gain on Debt Extinguishment of $63 Million During the Quarter 
Paid Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims Grew to $89.2 Billion During the Quarter 
Increase in Total Claims Recovery Income and Service Income of $3.0 Million over the Second Quarter 
Purchased Additional $48.2 Million in Future Recoveries and Signed a $7.5 Million Licensing Deal for LifeWallet

CORAL GABLES, Fla., Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MSP Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPR) ("MSPR," "MSP Recovery," or the "Company"), a Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and secondary payer reimbursement recovery and technology leader, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

MSPR continued to successfully execute and advance its business strategy as the Paid Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims (“PVPRC”) increased by about $870 million to $89.2 billion in the third quarter from the second quarter 2022, reflecting continued strong demand from health plans, providers, and self-insured entities for MSPR’s services, expertise, and portfolio of revenue streams. MSPR also acquired $48.2 million in recovery rights, whereby MSPR acquired 100% of the future recoveries associated with assigned claims.

The Company settled an accident-related case against a property & casualty insurer for $1.75 million, with the average recovery on claims settled exceeding 2x the PVPRC.  The Company also settled with a group health plan, recovering $1.15 million for an increase in Total Claims Recovery Income and Service Income of $3 million from the second quarter. Initial payments received through the third quarter on individual demand claims, averaged a recovery multiple of 2.1x the projected PVPRC.

Based on current cases pending in litigation, and the volume of claims being processed as it relates to individual demands, the Company believes it has a clear path towards monetizing assets.  Additionally, since recovery rights are liquidated damages, the assets owned by MSPR increase in value to the extent that interest continues to accrue on liquidated damages claims.

The Company also reached a new warrant agreement with Brickell Key Investments, LP. (“Brickell Key”), that reduced debt by $63 million and resulted in a $40 million per year reduction in accrued interest.  By exchanging part of their debt into an equity position, Brickell Key demonstrates their continued confidence in the Company.

LifeWallet entered into a licensing agreement with a new client for a $7.5 million fee and expected prospective fees of $1 million per year for continued servicing. LifeWallet also launched LifeWallet Lawyer Referral Information Services to enable LifeWallet to generate revenue from lawyers across the nation. The LifeChain blockchain technology is being implemented for several clients and MSPR expects to begin monetizing the technology during the fourth quarter.  Last month, MSPR announced that it had expanded its partnership with Tokenology Labs to include the development of multiple blockchain initiatives.

“During the third quarter, we expanded our portfolio of recoverable claims and added to our potential revenue streams while significantly reducing our debt,” said MSP Recovery Founder and CEO, John H. Ruiz. “This is all further proof of the growing recognition in the healthcare, healthcare data and legal community of MSPR’s unique value proposition.”

“Some of our most exciting new potential revenue opportunities come thanks to the astounding early success of LifeWallet, which we launched less than a year ago,” added Mr. Ruiz. “LifeWallet is a powerful and effective tool for both patients and healthcare providers alike. Thanks to our expanded partnership with Tokenology, LifeWallet’s LifeChain will connect providers and payers to tokenized medical claims, which is expected to transform standard medical claim forms into unique digital versions on blockchain (NFTs or non-fungible tokens).”

“We continue to build on what we believe is an insurmountable head start when it comes to creating and deploying advanced technology tools alongside industry-leading legal acumen to prevent waste, inefficiency, and fraud from the healthcare claims process,” said Co-Founder and Chief Legal Officer, Frank C. Quesada.  “We have seen a large number of healthcare solutions and are confident that our unique technology continues to disrupt the healthcare system as it relates to data ingestion as well as patient efficiencies and proper payments.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $8.3 million, up 234% from the third quarter of 2021.
  • Operating loss: Operating loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $78.9 million, compared with $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating loss for third quarter was $12.5 million excluding non-cash claims amortization expense of $66.3 million.1
  • Net loss: Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $26.1 million and $0.6 million to controlling members, or net loss of $0.01 per share, based on 69.6 million weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted net loss for the third quarter was $12.8 million excluding the non-cash item noted above and $13.1 million of non-cash expenses related to paid in kind interest, partially offset by a $63.4 million gain on debt extinguishment and $2.7 million gain from the change in fair value of warrants and derivative liabilities.1
  • Liquidity: As of September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $14.3 million. In addition, we announced potential additional capital resources totaling $1.5 billion, which includes $1 billion from the Company Common Stock Purchase Agreement, $200 million from the Investment Capacity Agreement, by and among MSP Recovery and Virage Capital Management, LP., based on anticipated initial closing under the Virage ICA, and up to an additional $250 million from the Prudent Sale.
  • Gain on debt extinguishment: During the third quarter, the Company reported a gain on debt extinguishment of $63.4 million after reducing its obligation with Brickell Key, from $143 million to $80 million.

  • We have expanded our work with Tokenology on tokenized healthcare initiative on the Polygon network. This initiative, combined with LifeWallet’s biometric technology targets fraud and abuse in the U.S. healthcare system.

Portfolio Growth:

MSPR seeks assignment of recovery rights from secondary payers and providers by acquiring such rights to claims via Claims Cost Recovery Agreements (“CCRA”). The Company utilizes its proprietary internal data analytics platform to review claims and identify which have probable recovery paths. MSPR’s assets are irrevocable assignments of health claims recovery rights that are inherent, all-encompassing and superior to other interests supported by Federal and State laws and regulations. The table below outlines the Company's growth in data received in the most recent periods. The amounts represent data received from current and new assignors:

MSP's Recovery Portfolio Claims Growth By Year
As of Claims Count  PVPRC  BVPRC  
  (thousands)  (millions)  (millions)  
December 31, 2021  632,919  $86,630  $363,231

Total  654,408  $89,176  $376,125  

Demand Letters:

MSPR recently announced a strategy whereby the Company is sending out individual demand letters on identified recoverable claims to responsible payers for prompt payment. We expect this strategy to result in more predictable and visible revenues. The table below outlines specific dollar amounts identified by the Company, broken down by litigation and demand letter type, that it plans to pursue against different responsible parties:

Group Health Plan Recovery 1,073   13,311   2.1   10.9 

(1) Data Matching represents potential recovery opportunities the Company has identified via court orders or agreements with primary payers. These represent potential recoveries that MSP could receive from a portion of our settlement discussions with 27.9% of Auto Insurance industry or via demand letters.

(2) As previously announced June 13th and 27th 2022, MSP initiated billing amounts to primary payers (i.e., property and casualty insurers) and big pharma, giving these parties the opportunity to pay without the need for litigation or extended litigation.

(3) PLRPs are established to resolve health care liens asserted by private health insurance providers in mass tort settlements. MSPR is actively working with various lien resolution administrators to recover on those owned claims for which manufacturers have already settled other lawsuits and established PLRPs.

Financial Outlook

MSP Recovery is providing guidance for its full year 2022 as follows:

  • Portfolio 2022 Guidance: Exceeded target for 2022 for growth in PVPRC by 3.5 times.
  • 2022 Recoveries Guidance: We previously provided guidance with respect to Total Gross Recoveries, which we expected to be approximately $992 million during 2022.(1).  While we still anticipate that the amount of those Total Gross Recoveries will be achieved, due to various factors, including, but not limited to litigation delays, we now believe that we will achieve a substantial portion of these Total Gross Recoveries during 2023. The guidance provided was and is an estimate based on management’s current knowledge and various assumptions. The nature of the Company’s business, and the timing and amount of Total Gross Recoveries that will be achieved, are inherently unpredictable, and the Company cannot provide assurances regarding the timing or amount of Total Gross Recoveries that will ultimately be achieved.

(1)  Total Gross Recoveries is the cash received or to be received by MSPR for recoveries that may be through consolidated or non-consolidated entities.
