Completed Business Combination Between Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II and MSP Recovery Paid Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims Grew to $88.3 Billion During Quarter Acquired Claim Recovery Rights and Rights to Cash Flows Increasing Balance Sheet Assets from $104 Million at December 31, 2021 to $6.6 Billion at June 30, 2022 Executed Agreements which could provide approximately $1.5 Billion of Capital
CORAL GABLES, Fla., Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MSP Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPR) ("MSPR," "MSP Recovery," or the "Company"), a Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and secondary payer reimbursement recovery and technology leader, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
MSPR has seen substantial growth of assets from $104 million at December 31, 2021 to $6.6 billion at June 30, 2022. The company’s significant asset growth paves the way for future revenue generation and reflects increased demand from health plans, providers, and self-insured entities for MSPR’s services, expertise, and portfolio of revenue streams. With 27% of the U.S. automobile insurance market in data matching or settlement discussions, new contracts, and the deployment of new strategic alliances and strategies, company leadership believes the company is primed for future success.
“We are off to a strong start in 2022,” said MSP Recovery Founder and CEO, John H. Ruiz. “Our continued asset growth sets us up for significant future revenue generation. I truly believe that nobody has a better combined understanding of (1) healthcare, (2) healthcare data, and (3) the law; enabling MSP to recover improperly paid claims while also deploying revolutionary technology that we believe will correct the major flaws in the U.S. healthcare system – making our business unique and difficult to replicate."
“We have already exceeded projections for many of the Company's key performance indicators following the business combination thanks to the strength of our expanding claims portfolio,” said MSP Recovery Co-Founder and Chief Legal Officer, Frank C. Quesada. “We believe we will continue to see increased recoveries as our litigation process continues against multiple parties. The recent completion of our business combination was an important milestone for our company. It further increases the market's awareness of MSP Recovery and provides additional resources to execute our growth strategy.”
“Cash flows from operations is one of MSPR’s main priorities and we continue to be focused on closing out pending cases as well as starting a general business practice of billing claims at large scale," said Ruiz. "MSPR has established, through court decisions, the rights of Medicare Part C entities as well as downstream providers to collect from those parties that are primarily responsible. Those rights were solidified by two recent decisions rendered by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in MSP v. ACE and MSP v. Metropolitan. As per our press release on June 13, 2022, we have commenced billing over $1.5 billion to payers. Coupled with the agreements with Prudent and Virage where MSPR can monetize its claims, the claims billed for which MSPR has begun collecting, and ongoing settlement discussions, I believe MSPR has a clear line of approach to meet our recovery projections.1 ”

MSPR seeks assignment of recovery rights from secondary payers by acquiring the recovery rights to claims from secondary payers via Claims Cost Recovery Agreements (“CCRA”). Prior to executing a CCRA, the Company utilizes its proprietary internal data analytics platform to review the set of claims and identify claims with probable recovery paths. MSPR’s assets are these irrevocable assignments of health claims recovery rights that are automatic, all-encompassing and superior to other interests supported by Federal and State laws and regulations. The table below outlines the Company's growth in these assignments:
