MSP Recovery Announces Fiscal Year and Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

MIAMI, April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MSP Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPR) (“MSP,” or the “Company”), a Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and secondary payer reimbursement recovery and technology leader, announced financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.

“MSP Recovery has overcome significant industry challenges to become the leader in enforcing Medicare Secondary Payer laws, protecting the Medicare Trust Fund, and paving the road for healthcare reimbursement recoveries,” said MSP Recovery Founder and CEO John H. Ruiz. “We’ve made legal and technological progress, holding primary payers accountable. Through pioneering legal strategy and healthcare innovation, we’ve exposed systemic flaws and secured meaningful settlements from Primary Payers. Our restructuring efforts and proprietary technology position MSP Recovery to scale recovery efforts with greater efficiency and impact.” Ruiz continued, “With deep expertise at the intersection of law, healthcare, and technology, we are uniquely equipped to combat systemic waste in the private and public sector, making a positive impact on the nation’s healthcare system and ultimately, helping improve patient care.”

Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights

Strategic Restructuring and Capital Initiatives

  • Debt Reduction and Liquidity Enhancement: In April 2025, MSP entered into a term sheet with Virage Capital and Hazel Partners to reduce debt, streamline operations, and refocus on core Medicare and Medicaid recoveries. The agreement provides:

    • $9.75 million in bridge funding ($6.5 million available through July 2025);
    • Up to $25 million in working capital for a new, independently managed and operated servicing entity;
    • $144 million debt-to-equity conversion by CEO John H. Ruiz and CLO Frank C. Quesada (collectively, the “MSP Principals”) to significantly reduce leverage, subject to shareholder approval and other conditions;
    • A $25 million collateral pledge by MSP Principals to support future funding for the Company; and
    • Release of MSP Recovery’s corporate guarantee approx. $1.1B in obligations ($1.2B as of March 31, 2025), shifting liability away from the Company.

The transactions remain subject to final agreements, third-party and regulatory approvals, and other closing conditions. More information can be found on page i of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).

  • Extension of Debt Maturity: The Company amended its agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), extending the maturity date of its convertible notes and deferring the first monthly payment to November 30, 2026. This amendment also waived certain limitations, potentially enabling the Company to raise capital by selling shares to Yorkville over time.

Legal Settlements and Claims Recovery

  • Pharmaceutical Litigation Settlement: In 2024, MSP entered into settlements in its pharmaceutical litigation portfolio totaling more than $8.0 million in cash recoveries plus non-monetary consideration, such as obtaining prescription drug claims data to assist in identifying and recovering against other responsible parties.
  • Property & Casualty Insurer Settlements: The Company entered into comprehensive settlement agreements with property and casualty insurers totaling more than $10.0 million in cash recoveries, plus non-monetary consideration. These agreements included provisions for data sharing and collaborative processes to resolve future claims, enhancing the Company’s claims reconciliation capabilities.

Technological Advancements

  • Launch of Clearinghouse Solution: The Company advanced initiatives to eliminate wasteful Medicare spending by launching its clearinghouse solution, built in partnership with Palantir Technologies, Inc. The clearinghouse platform integrates advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools, natural language processing (“NLP”), and machine learning (“ML”) to create a robust data analytics system capable of capturing and managing extensive healthcare data from multiple sources. to identify and recover improper payments.
  • Acquisition of Additional MSP Claims: In October 2024, the Company acquired additional Medicare Secondary Payer claims with an overall paid amount exceeding $10.6 billion, encompassing over 450,000 Medicare members. This acquisition enhances the Company’s ability to identify and recover improper payments.

Corporate Developments

  • Brand Consolidation: In December 2024, the Company announced the consolidation of all lines of business under the MSP Recovery brand, and the Company’s Class A Common Stock, New Warrants, and Public Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “MSPR,” “MSPRW,” and “MSPRZ,” respectively. This strategic move aimed to streamline operations and align initiatives with the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
  • Reverse Stock Split: Effective November 15, 2024, the Company implemented a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of its common stock to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.

2024 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue: Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $18.2 million compared to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of approximately 136% from the previous year. The $10.5 million increase for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by increased settlements during the period. While the Company remains in active settlement negotiations with several major insurers, the settlements finalized to date have been limited to carriers representing only a minor share of the property and casualty insurance market.
  • Operating Loss: Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1,274 million, compared with $559.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $35.4 million, excluding non-cash claims amortization expense of $484.1 million, impairment of intangible assets of $752.7 million, and shared-based compensation of $2.1 million.1
  • Net Loss: Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1,556.8 million and $360.5 million to controlling members, or net loss per share of $359.95 per share, based on 1,001,525 million weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $41.3 million, excluding the non-cash item noted above, change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities of $136.9 million, and $413.6 million of non-cash expenses related to paid in kind interest.1
  • Liquidity: As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $12.3 million. The Company has potential additional capital resources, as set forth in more detail in Item 7 of our Annual Report.

(1) Additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, including an explanation of these measures and how each is calculated, is included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has also been provided in the financial tables included below.

Assigned Recovery Rights Claims Paid and Billed Value

The table below outlines the Company’s claims data received in the most recent periods. The amounts represent data received from current and new assignors:

  Year Ended December 31,  

$ in billions
2024     2023     2022  
Paid Amount $ 380.4     $ 369.8     $ 374.8  
Paid Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims(2)   87.7       88.9       89.6  
Billed Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims   375.3       373.5       377.8  
Recovery Multiple(1) 0.08     N/A     N/A  
Penetration Status of Portfolio   86.8 %     86.8 %     85.8 %
                       

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received gross recoveries of $18.1 million, of which the Recovery Multiple for recoveries obtained pursuant to the MSP Laws was 1.32 times the Paid Amount, and the Recovery Multiple for recoveries obtained pursuant to non-MSP Laws, including antitrust and unfair trade practice laws, was 0.04 times the Paid Amount. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, recoveries were not meaningful, and so no multiple is provided.

(2) On August 10, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit held that a four-year statute of limitations period applies to certain claims brought under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act’s private cause of action, and that the limitations period begins to run on the date that the cause of action accrued. This opinion may render certain Claims held by the Company unrecoverable and may substantially reduce PVPRC and BVPRC as calculated. As our cases were filed at different times and in various jurisdictions, and prior to data matching with a defendant we are not able to accurately calculate the entirety of damages specific to a given defendant, we cannot calculate with certainty the impact of this ruling at this time. However, the Company has deployed several legal strategies (including but not limited to seeking to amend existing lawsuits in a manner that could allow claims to relate back to the filing date as well as asserting tolling arguments based on theories of fraudulent concealment) that would apply to tolling the applicable limitations period and minimizing any material effect on the overall collectability of its claim rights. In addition, the Eleventh Circuit decision applies only to district courts in the Eleventh Circuit. Many courts in other jurisdictions have applied other statutes of limitations to the private cause of action, including borrowing the three-year statute of limitations applicable to the government’s cause of action; and borrowing from the False Claims Act’s six-year period. The most recent decision on the issue from the District Court of Massachusetts, for example, applies the same statute of limitations as Eleventh Circuit, but expressly disagrees with the Eleventh Circuit’s application of the “accrual” rule and instead adopted the notice-based trigger that the company has always argued should apply. This would mean that the limitations period for unreported claims has not even begun to accrue. This is a complex legal issue that will continue to evolve in jurisdictions across the country. Nevertheless, if the application of the statute of limitations as determined by the Eleventh Circuit was applied to all Claims assigned to us, we estimate that the effect would be a reduction of PVPRC by approximately $9.8 billion. As set forth in our Risk Factors, PVPRC is based on a variety of factors. As such, this estimate is subject to change based on the variety of legal claims being litigated and statute of limitations tolling theories that apply.

  • Total Paid Amount of owned claims has increased to $380.4 billion, as of December 31, 2024, up $10.6 billion or 2.9% from $369.8 billion as of December 31, 2023. This figure represents the amounts our clients/assignors have paid for in medical bills (including capitation payments).
  • Paid Value of Potential Recoverable Claims has decreased to $87.7 billion, as of December 31, 2024, down $1.2 billion or 1.3% from $88.9 billion as of December 31, 2023. This figure represents the amounts the Company estimates are potentially recoverable as identified by its algorithms.

Financial Outlook

Recoveries Guidance: The Company continues to make progress in its recovery efforts, and management believes such projected recoveries are ultimately collectible. Recoveries are dependent on the completion of litigation and the negotiation of settlements, which are inherently uncertain and are subject to risk of delay and litigation outcomes. As a result, the Company will not provide future guidance on recoveries that are dependent on litigation or subrogation process.

Additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, including an explanation of these measures and how each is calculated, is included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has also been provided in the financial tables accompanying this release.

Liquidity Outlook and Going Concern Assessment: The Company has concluded that, as of the date of this filing, substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern within one year following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s liquidity will depend on the ability to generate substantial Claims recovery income and Claims recovery services income in the near future, the timing of which is uncertain, as well as its ability to secure funding from capital sources. The Company’s principal liquidity needs have been working capital, debt service, and Claims financing obligations.

The Company anticipates sources of liquidity to include the Working Capital Credit Facility, the Yorkville SEPA, and beyond July 2025, the MSP Principals’ commitment to pledge $25 million of collateral to backstop additional working capital requirements of the Company, as disclosed in more detail in Note 9, Claims Financing Obligations and Notes Payable, and has taken several actions to address liquidity concerns. More information can be found in Part II, Item 7 of the Annual Report.

Impairment of Definite-Lived Intangible Assets: The Company’s estimation of the fair value of its CCRA intangible assets resulted in a non-cash impairment charge amounting to $752.7 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2024 in Impairment of Intangible Assets in the statement of operations. For additional information, see Note 6, Intangible Assets, Net, to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates – Impairment of Intangible Assets.

Autodesk’s 3rd Annual State of Design & Make Report Reveals AI Skills are Top Hiring Priority as Leaders Face Talent Shortages

PR Newswire

Nearly 6,000 global industry leaders, futurists, and experts across Design and Make industries share insights and solutions in third annual survey


SAN FRANCISCO
, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) released the 2025 State of Design & Make report today, exploring sentiments from leaders across Design and Make industries on managing cost control, embracing emerging technologies, and addressing the talent and skills gaps. Despite experiencing geopolitical and economic uncertainty, the majority of leaders continue to invest in AI and technology advancement, acquisitions, and sustainability across the board. Although AI and tech investments have slowed post-2024 hype, early adopters are beginning to benefit and refine their strategies.

“The accelerating pace of innovation and demand for sustainability is reshaping skill requirements across the industries we serve. This creates both a challenge and a massive opportunity for Design and Make leaders,” said Andrew Anagnost, President and CEO, Autodesk. “This year’s findings are clear – companies that invest in bridging the skills gap will be more resilient and better positioned to leverage emerging technologies.”

Design and Make industries – architecture, engineering, construction, and operations; design and manufacturing; and media and entertainment – employ nearly 300 million people worldwide* and by 2027 will represent $30 trillion in value globally**. Autodesk’s annual report is the only global study that surveys leaders across these collective industries – highlighting the issues that unite them and distinguishing the challenges unique to each sector.

From Hype to Hard Truths: Leaders Grapple with Challenges of Implementing AI
While AI adoption is accelerating, enthusiasm is cooling as companies confront the challenges of implementation – namely finding the trained talent to advance this work. Companies who are investing in technology, including AI are seeing early productivity gains, while those who are less tech-advanced are reassessing their AI strategies or remain in the early adoption stages. Trust in AI has declined, and leaders are becoming more cautious about its disruptive potential.

  • Nearly half (48%) of survey respondents say AI will destabilize their industry, a seven-point increase from last year.
  • 65% of respondents say they trust AI in their field, reflecting an 11-point decline.
  • Confidence in AI decision-making has also dropped, with 69% of professionals expressing confidence in their company’s AI choices, down nine points.

Despite these concerns, AI investment will be a top priority. Business leaders at tech-advanced companies in Design and Make are still feeling bullish as they identify opportunity and increase investment in training. Tech-advanced companies continue to lead in AI adoption and are seeing benefits in hiring, productivity, and innovation from digital transformation efforts.

  • More than 2 in 3 leaders plan to increase AI investments.
  • Only 40% of professionals report that their companies are approaching or have achieved their AI goals, highlighting a longer road ahead.

The AI Boom Is Here, But the Workforce Isn’t Ready: Leaders Face Massive Skills Crisis
The talent crunch continues to impact business growth. Leaders are struggling to find employees with the right technical skills while also lacking the resources to build effective internal training programs. This widening skills gap is pushing leaders to rethink their workforce strategies.

  • 46% say AI skills will be a top hiring priority over the next three years.
  • 58% of professionals report that a lack of access to skilled talent is a barrier to growth, a 15-point increase from last year.
  • 61% say new employees with the right technical skills are difficult to find, up 16 points from 2024.

While companies are acknowledging the importance of upskilling, many are struggling to address these challenges with on-the-job training and continuous learning that could help their employees – and their businesses – keep up with the rapid pace of transformation.

  • Nearly half (48%) of professionals say their organizations lack the resources to design internal training programs — a 10-point increase from last year.
  • 77% of tech-advanced companies plan to increase investments in digital training, compared to 59% of less tech-advanced companies.

The next generation must master AI skills to thrive, working alongside technology rather than against it. Industry leaders must bridge the gap between education and the demands of an AI-driven workforce by democratizing access to technology, designing project-based learning environments that reflect the workplace, and ultimately connect young people to the most in-demand jobs opportunities across sectors.

Green Means Growth: Sustainability Continues to Influence Retention and Revenue Gains
Sustainability is emerging as a key differentiator for companies seeking to drive growth, build resilience, and attract top talent. As businesses navigate economic pressures and shifting regulations, sustainability is becoming a necessity in the global marketplace for long-term success. Organizations with advanced technology adoption are leading the way, using sustainability as a competitive advantage.

  • 75% of professionals at tech-advanced companies say sustainability efforts are helping attract and retain talent, compared to 54% at less tech-advanced companies.
  • Business leaders are increasingly recognizing the financial benefits of sustainability, with 72% believing it can generate more than 5% of their annual revenue.
  • AI continues to play a pivotal role in sustainability efforts, with 39% of companies using AI to be more sustainable, up from 34% in 2024.

As the race to 2030 accelerates, companies are aligning their technology investments with sustainability goals, turning their environmental commitments into competitive advantages.

For the third year in a row, leveraging data and advanced technology has helped Design and Make companies navigate disruption and uncover new opportunities. In addition to improvements in customer satisfaction, productivity, and innovation, leaders also report gains in company reputation (72%), product and service expansion (68%), and enhanced data exchange (67%). The takeaway is clear: companies investing in modernization are seeing meaningful results.

Nearly Every U.S. Metro Has Higher Rental Prices than Pre-Pandemic, Despite Months of Declines

PR Newswire

  • Tariffs on building supplies could threaten continued price declines and damper new multi-family construction activity
  • Markets most at risk from the impact of tariffs: Milwaukee; Oklahoma City; Memphis, Tenn.; Cleveland; Columbus, Ohio; Atlanta; Cincinnati; Birmingham, Ala.; and San Diego


AUSTIN, Texas
, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For the 20th consecutive month rents declined in March, and the median asking price for rent in the 50 largest metros is now $65 lower than the 2022 peak, standing at $1,694, according to the Realtor.com® March Rent Report. While rents have been declining for nearly two years due in large part to new multifamily inventory, new tariffs could have impacts on metros where multi-family permitting activity is growing the fastest, jeopardizing rent declines.

“While the median asking rent is down $65 monthly or over $700 annually, in nearly every major U.S. metro rents are still considerably higher than 2019,” said Joel Berner, senior economist at Realtor.com®. “We have seen declines in rents largely due to robust multi-family building and permitting adding more rental options in many metros. This tailwind is currently under threat as developers grapple with the short-term and long-term impacts of new and evolving tariffs on building materials. For renters in cities with declining rents, it might be a good time to lock in a good rate for the next year or beyond.”

Despite Recent Price Declines, Rents Are Still Considerably More Than Before the Pre-Pandemic
This March marked the fifth anniversary of the onset of the global Covid-19 pandemic, and rents across the U.S. largely remain above pre-pandemic pricing. San Francisco remains the only market where the median asking rent is still below pre-pandemic levels. The median rent has risen 20.2%, from $1,409 in March 2019 to $1,694 in March 2025. During this period, Pittsburgh (47.9%) led the Northeast in rental growth, while Tampa, Fla. (45.7%) saw the fastest increases in the South. In the Midwest, Indianapolis (34%) emerged as the fastest growth market, and in the West, Sacramento, Calif. (30.6%) experienced the highest rent hikes.

Markets with the Fastest-Growing Multi-Family Permits Face the Greatest Potential Impacts from Tariffs
The recently announced tariffs on imported building materials such as steel and aluminum could potentially impact the multifamily housing supply by driving up construction costs. These rising expenses may discourage, delay or halt building and added costs could be passed to renters, pushing rental prices higher.

Markets that experienced rapid growth in permitted multifamily homes are expected to see the biggest impacts as developers and builders may postpone or even cancel new projects.

Markets such as Milwaukee, Oklahoma City and Memphis, Tenn., which saw the fastest growth in permitted multifamily homes, are expected to be hit the hardest by the 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum due to anticipated higher construction costs.

“Even markets with declining permitting activity could see impacts as rising construction costs could further dampen new development plans, restricting supply and continuing to exert upward pressure on rental prices,” said Berner.

Romania, targeting 34% renewable energy production by 2030 under the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive, is increasingly prioritizing clean transportation solutions. Beam Global’s off-grid, solar-powered EV ARC™ systems offer a transportable, construction-free, and utility-free solution for electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy security, perfectly suited to meet the country’s growing demand for sustainable infrastructure.

Beam Global’s first sales in Romania has been executed by its Romanian reselling agent, Seltis Glass Design SRL, with whom the company has an existing successful relationship through its European subsidiary, selling street lighting solutions. This transaction demonstrates the efficacy of Beam Global’s strategy of leveraging external sales partners with proven track records in selling energy and transportation infrastructure products within key territories targeted by the company.

“Beam Global’s products provide a perfect solution for Romania’s electrification of transportation and energy security challenges,” said Alin Tanasi, Managing Director of Seltis Glass Design. “We have been successfully selling infrastructure products to government and enterprise entities in Romania for over a decade. We are excited about the opportunity to present Beam Global’s products to our existing and new customers. Beam Global’s unique benefits and innovative attributes were recognized at the 2025 Congress of Mayors. Many of those are already our customers and relationships. We believe we are off to a very good start and look forward to a successful relationship with Beam Global.”

In recognition of its role in driving innovation and enabling clean mobility, Beam Global was presented with the Award for Innovation in Sustainable Infrastructure at the 2025 Congress of Mayors and Local Administration of Romania. The award, presented by Eduard Dumitrascu, President of the Romanian Association for Smart City and Mobility, was accepted by Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global, on behalf of the company and its dedicated team.

“Romania has one of the fastest growing economies in Europe,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “There is significant internal and EU investment in the electrification of transportation and sustainable energy infrastructure. Beam Global’s products are timely and ideally suited to solve for the expanding requirements in Romania. Securing our first sales here through a local reseller and being recognized for the innovative value that our products deliver at a congress of mayors and other government decision makers bode well for our growth opportunities in that country. This is another example of how our geographic expansion strategy enables us to increase sales without increasing investment. We intend to continue to replicate this model across the region.”

Beam Global was recognized “for developing and implementing advanced technological solutions that promote clean mobility and energy efficiency, significantly contributing to the transition toward a greener and more sustainable future.”
