Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

At Sept. 30, 2021, UpHealth reported $68.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. In October, subsequent to the close of the third quarter, UpHealth raised $43.0 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $3.3 million, from the issuance of approximately 26.5 million shares of common stock, substantially increasing the Company's free float and increasing the total number of outstanding shares to approximately 144 million. Proceeds of the equity offering will enable UpHealth to satisfy its short-term liabilities and fund ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements associated with the Company's continued growth. If the equity offering had been completed prior to Sept. 30, 2021, the Company would have reported approximately $111.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of Sept. 30, 2021. The Company will retain sufficient liquidity as it continues to invest capital to fund growth in excess of cash flow from operations through at least the second quarter of 2022.

To supplement UpHealth's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, UpHealth presents investors with non-GAAP financial measures, including pro forma revenue, pro forma gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA.

• Pro forma revenue consists of GAAP revenue and revenue from UpHealth's subsidiaries prior to their acquisition.
