agilon health Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

agilon health, inc. (NYSE: AGL), the company transforming health care for seniors by empowering primary-care physicians to focus on the entire health of their patients, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Results:

  • Total revenue of $413 million increased 42% from 2020 and would have increased approximately 50% including a recently completed group Medicare Advantage (MA) contract that is retroactive to January 2021
  • Members of approximately 165,300 as of March 31 increased 35% from 2020 and would have increased 42% to approximately 174,300 including the retroactive group contract
  • Same geography membership growth of 8% from 2020 and same geography membership growth of 15% including the retroactive group contract
  • Net loss from continuing operations of $14 million, compared to $8 million in 2020
  • Medical Margin of $52 million, compared to $42 million in 2020
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $4 million, compared to $3 million in 2020

“We are pleased with our first quarter results, highlighted by 42% revenue growth and 35% membership growth. Including the retroactive group MA contract, same geography membership growth increased 15%, reflective of strong member retention and broad-based additions across all markets. Our aligned partnership model is resonating with physician groups and we began implementing six new geographies with approximately 49,000 members that will go-live in January 2022,” said Steve Sell, Chief Executive Officer. “With the completion of our initial public offering, we are well capitalized to support our growth strategy. We plan to use the proceeds to scale our platform, support growth of our existing physician partners, and partner with additional groups to help transform senior care in local communities across the country.”

Total revenue outlook for the second quarter 2021 includes an estimated $24 million associated with the group MA contract attributable to the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA loss reflected in the full year 2021 outlook is expected to be weighted to the second half of the fiscal year.

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and have not provided forward-looking guidance for net income (loss), because of the uncertainty around certain items that may impact net income (loss), including stock-based compensation, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Membership Details

Membership as of March 31, 2021 was approximately 165,300, an increase of 35% from 2020. Average membership during the first quarter 2021 was approximately 163,000. Including an estimated 49,000 members currently in implementation for 2022 go-live, total MA membership on the agilon platform was approximately 214,300 as of March 31, 2021.

Same geography membership increased 8% year-over-year during the first quarter 2021 and increased 15% including a recently completed group MA contract that is retroactive to January 2021. During the first quarter, a group MA contract transitioned between two payers in one of our geographies. Due to the timing required to complete the transition, agilon health’s first quarter 2021 results do not include the revenue, membership, or costs of these members. agilon health recently completed a new agreement covering this membership and this will be reflected in the company’s financial results for the second quarter 2021, including retroactive amounts associated with first quarter 2021. We estimate the retroactive revenue and membership associated with this contract for the first quarter 2021 are approximately $24 million and 9,000, respectively. Importantly, patients covered by this group plan were under the continuous care of their primary care doctor during this transition.

Direct Contracting

In collaboration with seven of our physician group partners, we launched five Direct Contracting Entities (DCE) with over 50,000 attributed beneficiaries on April 1, 2021. The DCE program allows physician groups on the agilon platform to operate a single line of business for Medicare patients. While the recent announcement from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation will limit new DCE entrants for 2022, we will be able to utilize existing DCEs as a vehicle for existing or new physician groups to participate in the Direct Contracting program.

Initial Public Offering and Debt Refinancing

On April 19, 2021, we completed the initial public offering of 53,590,000 shares of common stock at a price of $23.00 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $1.16 billion, after underwriting fees and other offering expenses.

On February 18, 2021, we executed a new credit facility agreement (2021 Secured Credit Facilities). The 2021 Secured Credit Facilities included an initial $100 million senior secured term loan and a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter and in connection with our initial public offering, we repaid $50 million of the senior secured term loan.

As of April 30, 2021, including the impact from the initial public offering, debt refinancing, debt repayment and other items, agilon health had approximately $1.1 billion of cash and $50 million of debt outstanding.

Medical margin represents the amount earned from medical services revenue after medical services expenses are 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.

Represents management fees and other expenses paid to CD&R. In connection with our initial public offering, we terminated our consulting agreement with CD&R, effective April 16, 2021. We were not charged a fee in connection with the termination of this agreement.

(3)

Includes changes in non-cash accruals for unasserted claims and contingent liabilities.

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

We define network contribution as medical services revenue less the sum of: (i) medical services expense and (ii) other medical expenses excluding costs incurred in implementing geographies. Other medical expenses consist of physician incentive expense related to surplus sharing and other direct medical expenses incurred to improve care for our members. We believe this metric provides insight into the economics of our Total Care Model as it includes all medical services expense associated with our members’ care as well as partner incentive and additional medical costs we incur as part of our aligned partnership model. Other medical expenses are largely variable and proportionate to the level of surplus in each respective geography.

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 expense, (v) geography entry costs, (vi) share-based compensation expense, (vii) severance and related costs and (viii) certain other items that are not considered by us in the evaluation of ongoing operating performance.

Income (loss) from operations is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to network contribution. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.

We believe network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in our business and facilitate evaluation of period-to-period operating performance of our live geographies 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 network contribution 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 network contribution 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 network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA or similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently from the way we calculate these metrics. As a result, our presentation of network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
