The Joint Corp. Acquires Four Previously Owned Franchised Clinics, Strengthening the Scottsdale/Phoenix Region Cluster

Expected to be immediately accretive to the bottom line and improve the corporate clinic operating margin

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 23, 2022 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // - The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT), the nation's largest provider of chiropractic care through The Joint Chiropractic® network, acquired four previously owned franchised clinics for $5.8 million on May 19, 2022.

“We are expanding and strengthening our corporate portfolio in the Scottsdale/Phoenix region,” said Peter D. Holt, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Joint Corp. “This opportunity arose with a multi-unit franchisee with clinics in both Arizona and California who wished to consolidate their clinics to California only. As these high performing, mature clinics are located in our headquartered region where we already have a cluster of 20 corporate clinics, we will quickly incorporate them into our portfolio. The valuation is in-line with previous acquisitions and reflects the strength of these clinic teams. As such, we expect them to be immediately accretive to the bottom line and improve our corporate clinic operating margin.”

We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
