Insights

The Q3 results show significant progress in Oscar Health's financial trajectory. Revenue surged 68% to $2.4 billion, driven by membership growth and higher rates. The improved SG&A ratio, dropping 360 basis points to 19.0%, demonstrates better operational efficiency and scaling benefits.

While the Medical Loss Ratio increased slightly to 84.6%, the net loss narrowed to $54.6 million. The updated 2024 guidance is particularly encouraging, with revenue projections raised by $200 million to $9.2-9.3 billion. Most importantly, the company expects to achieve net income profitability this year, marking a important milestone in its path to sustainable profitability.

The membership growth to 1.65 million members, up from 983,160 year-over-year, validates the company's market penetration strategy and technology-driven approach.

Oscar's technology-first approach is proving to be a key differentiator in scaling operations efficiently. The significant improvement in the SG&A ratio while maintaining strong membership growth demonstrates the platform's scalability. The ability to handle a 68% increase in membership while reducing operational costs suggests robust technological infrastructure.

The company's success in the Individual and Small Group segment, growing to over 1.6 million members, indicates strong product-market fit and effective digital engagement. However, the exit from Medicare Advantage and declining Cigna+Oscar membership suggests a strategic focus on core markets where their technology platform delivers the most value.

  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2024:
    • Total Revenue of $2.4 billion, a 68% increase year-over-year
    • Medical Loss Ratio of 84.6%, an 80 bps increase year-over-year
    • SG&A Expense Ratio of 19.0%, a 360 bps improvement year-over-year
    • Net loss attributable to Oscar of $54.6 million, or $(0.22)  of earnings per share, a $10.8 million improvement year-over-year
    • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $11.6 million, an $8.7 million improvement year-over-year

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oscar Health, Inc. (“Oscar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OSCR), a leading healthcare technology company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“Oscar reported positive third quarter results with strong revenue growth and improved financial performance," said Mark Bertolini, CEO of Oscar Health. “Our technology continues to enhance our growth and positions us to efficiently scale the business. We expect to deliver positive Adjusted EBITDA and net income profitability this year, setting a solid foundation to achieve our long-term targets.”

Total Revenue of $2.4 billion in the quarter increased 68% year-over-year, driven primarily by higher membership and rate increases.

The Medical Loss Ratio increased 80 bps year-over-year to 84.6%, due to modestly higher medical costs, primarily driven by higher Special Enrollment Period membership resulting in higher risk adjustment transfers as well as higher COVID-related costs, partially offset by favorable prior period development. The SG&A Expense Ratio improved 360 bps year-over-year to 19.0%, driven by improved fixed cost leverage and variable cost efficiencies.

Adjusted EBITDA loss of $11.6 million improved by $8.7 million year-over-year, and Net loss attributable to Oscar of $54.6 million also improved by $10.8 million year-over-year.

Oscar is updating its full year 2024 outlook to reflect year-to-date performance. The Company projects Revenue to be in the $9.2 billion to $9.3 billion range, $200 million above the prior range of $9.0 billion to $9.1 billion, and a lower SG&A Expense Ratio in the range of 19.4% to 19.6%. Additionally, the Company now projects Medical Loss Ratio to be towards the high-end of the prior range of 80.5% to 81.5%, and Adjusted EBITDA to be towards the high-end of the prior range of $160 million to $210 million. The Company also expects to achieve net income profitability this year.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial metric, which is provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided in the accompanying tables found at the end of this release. For more information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, please see “Key Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics” below.

Oscar has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) within this press release because Oscar is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense. These items, which could materially affect the computation of forecasted GAAP net income (loss), are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of Oscar’s control. As such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP net income (loss) could vary materially.

All statements other than statements of historical fact contained herein are forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our financial outlook and estimates, including Total revenue, Medical Loss Ratio, SG&A Expense Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA and other financial performance metrics, and the related underlying assumptions, our profitability goals, our business and financial prospects, including potential future growth, and our management’s plans and objectives for future operations, expectations and business strategy.

Key Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
We regularly review the following key operating and Non-GAAP financial metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe these operational and financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance, in addition to our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Members
Members are defined as any individual covered by a health plan that we offer directly or through a co-branded arrangement. We view the number of members enrolled in our health plans as an important metric to help evaluate and estimate revenue and market share. Additionally, the more members we enroll, the more data we have, which allows us to improve the functionality of our platform.

Total Revenue
Total revenue includes Premium revenue, Investment income, and Services and other revenue. We believe Total revenue is an important metric to assess the growth of our business, as well as the earnings potential of our investment portfolio.

Medical Loss Ratio
Medical Loss Ratio is a metric used to calculate medical expenses as a percentage of net premiums before ceded quota share reinsurance. Medical expenses are the total expenses incurred by members in order to utilize health care services less any member cost sharing. These services include inpatient, outpatient, pharmacy, and physician costs. Medical claims also include fee-for-service claims, pharmacy benefits, capitation payments to providers, provider disputed claims, risk sharing arrangements with certain of our providers, and various other medical-related costs. The impact of the federal risk adjustment program is included in the denominator of our MLR. We believe MLR is an important metric to demonstrate the ratio of our costs to pay for healthcare of our members to the net premium before ceded reinsurance. MLR in our existing products are subject to various federal and state minimum requirements.

SG&A Expense Ratio
The SG&A Expense Ratio reflects the Company’s selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage of Total revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include distribution expenses, wages, benefits, costs of software and hardware, the impact of quota share reinsurance, stock-based compensation, and other administrative costs. We believe the SG&A Expense Ratio is useful to evaluate our ability to manage our overall selling, general, and administrative cost base.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation and other items that are considered unusual or not representative of underlying trends of our business, where applicable for the period presented. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net income (loss), we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for Net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as indicators of financial performance.
