SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 7, 2025 – The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT), the nation's largest franchisor of chiropractic care through The Joint Chiropractic® network, closed the sale of 31 corporate owned and managed clinics and associated franchise licenses in Arizona and New Mexico to Joint Ventures, LLC in exchange for $8.3 million in cash and the regional developer (RD) territory rights of the Northwest region that generated $855,000 in royalties and franchise fees over the 12 months ended March 31, 2025.

"Our goal for the refranchising initiative is to strengthen and simplify our business, while ensuring our clinics go to proven franchise operators that can improve performance and grow within their regions,” said The Joint Corp.’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Director Sanjiv Razdan. “We are very happy that Joint Ventures, one of our strongest franchisees, is purchasing 31 clinics in Arizona and New Mexico. As part of the consideration for the clinics, we are acquiring Joint Ventures' regional developer rights for the Northwest region, covering 46 existing franchised clinics and 30 sites for future clinic development. By acquiring RD rights, we will reduce commission obligations and increase operating margin, as these clinics incurred $855,000 in royalties and commissions under these RD rights in the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2025. By increasing their stake in The Joint, existing franchisees are validating our initiatives to strengthen the patient experience, drive revenue and reduce operational costs. We expect to deploy our expanding working capital to generate value for stockholders.”

Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of industry trends, our future financial and operating performance and our growth plans, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Words such as, "anticipates," "believes," "continues," "estimates," "expects," "goal," "objectives," "intends," "may," "opportunity," "plans," "potential," "near-term," "long-term," "projections," "assumptions," "projects," "guidance," "forecasts," "outlook," "target," "trends," "should," "could," "would," "will," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Specific forward looking statements made in this press release include, among others, our goal for the refranchising initiative to strengthen and simplify our business, while ensuring our clinics go to proven franchise operators that can improve performance and grow within their regions; our belief that by increasing their stake in The Joint, existing franchisees are validating our initiatives to strengthen the patient experience, drive revenue and reduce operational costs; our belief that by acquiring RD rights, we will reduce commission obligations, increase operating margin; and our expectation to deploy our expanding working capital to generate value for stockholders.

Factors that could contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, our inability to identify and recruit enough qualified chiropractors and other personnel to staff our clinics, due in part to the nationwide labor shortage and an increase in operating expenses due to measures we may need to take to address such shortage; inflation, which has increased our costs and which could otherwise negatively impact our business; our failure to profitably operate company-owned or managed clinics; our failure to refranchise as planned; short-selling strategies and negative opinions posted on the internet, which could drive down the market price of our common stock and result in class action lawsuits; our failure to remediate future material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which could negatively impact our ability to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud, or maintain investor confidence; and other factors described in our filings with the SEC, including in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2025 and subsequently filed current and quarterly reports.

On June 23, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Joint Ventures, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and our largest franchisee (“Joint Ventures”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Joint Ventures the assets of, and grant franchise rights to, 31 company-owned and managed clinics located in Arizona and New Mexico (the “Clinic Sales Transaction”) for an aggregate purchase price of $11.13 million, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, in connection with the Clinic Sales Transaction, we agreed to acquire the regional developer ("RD") rights to the Northwest Region, which consists of 46 existing franchised clinics and 30 sites for future clinic development in regions of Northern California, Utah, Nevada, Washington and Oregon (the "RD Termination Costs"), (together the "Joint Ventures Transaction"). On June 30, 2025, we completed the Joint Ventures Transaction.

Our estimates for the sale as presented in the attached pro forma condensed consolidated financial information are preliminary and actual results could differ from these estimates as we finalize the disposition accounting to be reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented below consist of an Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025 and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is intended to show how the sale of our company-owned and managed clinics and the acquisition of the regional developer rights might have affected our historical financial statements if the Joint Ventures Transaction had been completed at an earlier time as indicated herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and were derived from our historical consolidated financial statements and are being presented to give effect to the sale of our company-owned and managed clinics and the acquisition of the regional developer rights. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with:

•Our audited historical financial statements the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 14, 2025; and

•Our unaudited interim historical consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on available information and assumptions that our management believes are reasonable as of the date of this filing. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025 adjusts our assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity to reflect the sale of our company-owned and managed clinics and the acquisition of the regional developer rights as of March 31, 2025. In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, reflect certain Pro Forma Adjustments that are incremental to those related to the sale of our company-owned and managed clinics and the acquisition of the regional developer rights. The Pro Forma Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations are reflected as if the Joint Ventures Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent our actual financial condition or results of operations had the sale of our company-owned and managed clinics and the acquisition of the regional developer rights occurred on the dates indicated nor does it project our results of operations or financial condition for any future period or date. We have prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information based on available information using certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. As a result, the actual results reported by us in periods following the sale of our company-owned and managed clinics and the acquisition of the regional developer rights may differ materially from this unaudited pro forma condensed financial information.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 include the following adjustments:

As a result, the estimated loss reflected herein may differ materially from the actual gain or loss on the Joint Ventures Transaction as of the closing date because of the differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the closing date.
