Insights
The reported 72% increase in quarterly revenue and 68% rise in Medicare Advantage membership for agilon health indicate substantial growth in the company's core business. However, the negative gross profit and increased net loss year-over-year highlight operational challenges. The medical margin's negative turn, primarily due to accelerating medical costs, suggests that agilon's cost management strategies are currently under stress. The revised 2024 guidance, which assumes a continuation of higher medical cost trends, may concern investors as it indicates ongoing pressure on profitability. The strategic focus on measured growth and operational efficiency improvements could be pivotal in stabilizing the company's financial health in the medium to long term.
The substantial growth in Medicare Advantage membership reflects the strong demand for agilon's platform, which is a positive signal for the company's market positioning in the healthcare industry. However, the medical cost dynamics are worrisome for the sector, as they may reflect broader trends affecting insurers and healthcare providers. Agilon's focus on refining payer partnerships and enhancing data analytics could be critical in managing these costs. The decision to reserve at the higher end of estimates for incurred but not reported claims is a conservative approach, which may reassure stakeholders about the company's risk management practices.
Agilon's performance reflects a tension between robust membership growth and the financial strain from increased medical costs. The company's targeted action plan, which includes onboarding support for primary care physicians and improving data visibility, suggests a strategic pivot towards enhancing the value proposition and operational efficiencies. The updated guidance, with a medical cost trend assumption of 6.6%, is notably higher than previous estimates, signaling that agilon is preparing for sustained cost pressures. This adjustment may have implications for the broader Medicare Advantage market, potentially indicating a trend towards higher healthcare costs that could affect industry margins and consumer premiums.

Executing targeted action plan with focus on measured growth, Class of 2025 expected to add at least 60,000 Medicare Advantage members across 5 physician groups
“agilon is navigating through a complex transition period for the Medicare Advantage industry and for our company, and we are taking significant actions to help mitigate the impact of this evolving environment and strengthening our reserves,” said Steve Sell, chief executive officer. “While near-term dynamics are negatively affecting our financial results, demand for our platform and the fundamental drivers of our business remain strong as we continue to deliver significant value to patients, payors, and our PCP partners. We believe we are well positioned to accelerate performance over the medium and long-term.”

Medical Margin Performance Details
For the fiscal year 2023, Medical Margin of
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
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

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.
