The Oncology 2025 Q3 Earnings Raises Full-Year Guidance as Revenue Surges 36.7%

The Oncology Institute (TOI) reported Q3 2025 results that exceeded revenue expectations while narrowing per-share losses. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to $495–$505 million and adjusted EBITDA targets, signaling improved operational leverage despite ongoing net losses. CEO Daniel Virnich highlighted strategic progress, including AI integration and expanded capitation partnerships.

Revenue

The Oncology Institute’s total revenue surged 36.7% year-over-year to $136.56 million in Q3 2025. Patient services revenue, driven by capitation and fee-for-service models, accounted for $60.20 million. The dispensary segment, a key growth driver, contributed $75.89 million, reflecting strong pharmacy demand. Clinical trials and other operations added $474,000, supporting the company’s diversified revenue streams.

Earnings/Net Income

The company narrowed its per-share loss to $0.14 from $0.18, a 22.2% improvement, but its net loss widened to $16.50 million (up 2.4% year-over-year). While operational efficiency reduced the loss per share, the overall net loss increased due to higher operating costs and one-time reserves.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review

The strategy of buying TOI shares on the date of its revenue raise announcement and holding for 30 days yielded mixed results over three years. While the highest return reached 24.5% following a positive earnings report, volatility led to a 15.4% drop after Q3 2025 results. The average return over three years was 8.2%, indicating modest long-term potential. Market sentiment, influenced by events like cybersecurity incidents or margin fluctuations, played a critical role in price swings. Investors must balance the potential for gains with the risks of immediate post-earnings drawdowns.

CEO Commentary

Daniel Virnich emphasized Q3’s 23% revenue growth, driven by 42% pharmacy expansion and 13% fee-for-service gains. He highlighted achieving adjusted EBITDA profitability in September and expanding delegated capitation in Florida with Elevance Health. Strategic priorities include AI-driven prior authorization automation and operational efficiency improvements.

Guidance

The company raised 2025 full-year revenue guidance to $495–$505 million from $460–$480 million and adjusted EBITDA to a loss of $13–$11 million. TOI expects Q4 adjusted EBITDA breakeven to +$2 million and free cash flow positivity in 2026. Capitated revenue growth is projected at 29% year-over-year.
