Joint Corp. closes sale of 31 corporate clinics in Arizona, New Mexico

The Joint Corp. (JYNT) closed the sale of 31 corporate owned and managed clinics and associated franchise licenses in Arizona and New Mexico to Joint Ventures in exchange for $8.3M in cash and the regional developer 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 CEO 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.”
