    Medical Margin Performance Details

    For the fiscal year 2023, Medical Margin of $299 million was approximately $51 million below the midpoint of the company’s guidance of range of $340 million to $360 million provided on January 5, 2024. The company estimates approximately $38 million of the lower Medical Margin is from costs and revenue attributable to the fourth quarter and $13 million of the lower Medical Margin is attributable to costs and revenue attributable previous periods.

    Relative to the company’s previous guidance, the lower Medical Margin was primarily driven by two factors. First, as the company completed the financial closing process in February, it received updated data including relatively complete claims data from its largest payors, and additional information such as seasonality factors and census data. The company completed its analysis of this data in mid-February, with support from internal and external actuaries, which indicated medical claims were higher than the company’s previous estimate. Second, in light of this new information and the dynamic utilization environment, the company strengthened its reserve position for incurred but not reported medical claims. A range of reserve scenarios were developed and the company has reserved at the high-end of its estimates. The company believes this is a prudent approach given the environment.

    Performance Action Plan

    On January 5, 2024 agilon health announced a targeted action plan to improve performance. This plan includes expanding onboarding support for newer primary care physicians (PCPs) in mature markets, refining payor partnerships, improving data visibility and analytics, and accelerating operating efficiency. Management anticipates these actions will support growth in Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 and beyond.

    The company has made solid progress on the targeted action plan. Progress to date includes physician trainings in mature markets with 90% of new physicians in those markets to be trained during the first half of 2024; increased data visibility from most all national and large regional payors as well as targeted changes to our percentage of premium rates in key markets; onboarding of payor data into the company’s new financial pipeline with over 55% of membership data expected in the first quarter and over 75% of membership data during the second quarter; and a reduction in platform support to 3% of revenue in 2024.

    Class of 2025 New Partners

    agilon health anticipates the Class of 2025 new partners will include at least 5 physician groups with more than 60,000 new Medicare Advantage (MA) members. Beginning in 2025, the agilon health physician network will expand to at least 36 physician groups and 3,000 primary care physicians.

    agilon health now anticipates geographic entry costs will be in the range of $55 million to $65 million, down from the company’s previous expectation of ~$70 million. Given the current environment, agilon health is taking a measured approach to growth for the Class of 2025.

    Capital Position and Balance Sheet

    agilon health’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $495 million and total debt of $39 million. In addition, agilon health has $22 million of cash associated with the company’s unconsolidated ACO REACH entities.

    Outlook for Fiscal Year 2024 ($M):

    agilon health’s updated guidance assumes that the higher medical cost trend from 2023 will continue in 2024. Revised guidance assumes a medical cost trend of approximately 6.6% in 2024 for Year 2+ markets, which is 250 bps above the company’s prior expectation and compares to the 7.0% medical cost trend observed in 2023. Medical cost trend includes the impact of the company’s clinical programs and excludes the impact from non-medical costs (e.g., supplemental benefits), which is expected to drive less impact to cost trend in 2024 compared to 2023.

    We have not reconciled guidance for Medical Margin to Gross Profit or Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measures, and have not provided forward-looking guidance for net income (loss) in each case because of the uncertainty around certain items that may impact Gross Profit or net income (loss), including non-cash stock-based compensation.

    _______________

    Certain of our operations are not consolidated for the period presented because we do not have the ability to control certain activities due to another party’s control of the entities’ board of directors. Although revenues of the unconsolidated operations are not recorded as revenues by us, income (loss) from equity method investments is nonetheless a significant portion of our overall earnings. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2023 for additional discussion on our equity method investments.

    In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we present Medical Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures.

    We define Medical Margin as medical services revenue after medical services expense is deducted. Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to our members. As our platform matures over time, we expect Medical Margin to increase in absolute dollars. However, Medical Margin per member per month (PMPM) may vary as the percentage of new members brought onto our platform fluctuates. New membership added to the platform is typically dilutive to Medical Margin PMPM. We believe this metric provides insight into the economics of our capitation arrangements as it includes all medical services expense directly associated with our members’ care.

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: (i) income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, (ii) interest expense, (iii) income tax expense (benefit), (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) stock-based compensation expense, (vi) severance and related costs, and (vii) certain other items that are not considered by us in the evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We reflect our share of Adjusted EBITDA for equity method investments by applying our actual ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity-by-entity basis.

    Gross profit is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Medical Margin. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.

    We believe Medical Margin and Adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in our business and facilitate evaluation of period-to-period operating performance of our operations by eliminating items that are variable in nature and not considered by us in the evaluation of ongoing operating performance, allowing comparison of our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods. We also believe Medical Margin and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics we use for financial and operational decision-making. We believe Medical Margin and Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled non-GAAP measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies, and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of financial performance. Other companies may calculate Medical Margin and Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently from the way we calculate these metrics. As a result, our presentation of Medical Margin and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
