Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

PR Newswire

Company to Host Conference Call Today at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET

ALHAMBRA, Calif., May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. ("ApolloMed," and together with its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, the "Company") (NASDAQ: AMEH), a leading physician-centric, technology-powered healthcare company focused on enabling providers in the successful delivery of value-based care, today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Financial Highlights for First Quarter Ended March 31, 2022:

  • Q1 total revenue of $263.3 million, up 50% from $176.1 million for the prior-year quarter
  • Q1 net income of $12.1 million, compared to $14.5 million for the prior-year quarter (additional detail provided in the Q1 GAAP financial review below)
  • Q1 net income attributable to ApolloMed of $14.3 million, up 8% from $13.2 million for the prior-year quarter
  • Q1 earnings per share - diluted ("EPS - diluted") of $0.31, up 3% from $0.30 per share for the prior-year quarter 
  • Q1 adjusted EBITDA of $38.2 million, up 25% from $30.5 million for the prior-year quarter
  • Cash and cash equivalents of $237.9 million as of March 31, 2022

Recent Operating Highlights:

  • In April 2022, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the fully diluted capitalization of Jade Health Care Medical Group ("Jade Health"), a primary and specialty care physician group focused on providing high-quality care to local San Francisco Bay area communities. Jade Health is committed to delivering high-quality, affordable healthcare to Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial members through its over 350 primary and specialty care providers. The transaction will add approximately 13,000 members, primarily located in the City and County of San Francisco and San Mateo County, to ApolloMed's membership.
  • The Company appointed Chan Basho as Chief Strategy Officer. Mr. Basho will also assume the position of Interim Chief Financial Officer effective May 5, 2022, as Eric Chin is stepping down as Chief Financial Officer for personal reasons. Mr. Chin will continue to work with the Company as an executive advisor to ensure a smooth transition. 

Guidance:

ApolloMed is raising its guidance for total revenue and the lower end of its guidance ranges for net income, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, previously disclosed on March 14, 2022, as a result of strong organic membership growth and favorable membership mix. Net income and EBITDA include the impact of Allied Physicians of California, a Professional Medical Corporation's ("APC") investment in a payer partner, which completed an initial public offering to become a publicly traded company in June 2021. As APC's investment is an excluded asset solely for the benefit of APC and its shareholders, any gains or losses as a result of this investment do not affect the net income attributable to ApolloMed and adjusted EBITDA attributable to ApolloMed. The May 5, 2022, revised net income and EBITDA guidance ranges assume a stock price of the payer partner of $1.93. These assumptions are based on the Company's existing business, current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Management Commentary:

Brandon Sim, Co-Chief Executive Officer of ApolloMed, added, "We are pleased to announce another impressive quarter of results, having achieved 50% growth on the top line for the first quarter of 2022 as a result of strong organic membership growth and favorable membership mix, while continuing to increase profitability. More importantly, we remain committed to our mission of empowering healthcare providers, especially independent physicians, to care for and serve their communities more effectively, as well as participate in the movement towards value-based care. We are seeing strong tailwinds for the business, as independent physicians across the country express interest in our unique model; in this quarter alone, we added two new physician groups in Northern California. To assist with our significant growth trajectory, I am pleased to have recently welcomed Chan Basho as Chief Strategy Officer as well as Interim Chief Financial Officer. We are excited to have Chan on board and expect to benefit from his extensive experience in driving new business growth for leading healthcare companies."

GAAP Financial Review for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2022:

  • Total revenue of $263.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 50%, compared to $176.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • Capitation revenue, net, of $222.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 53%, compared to $144.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Capitation revenue represented 84% of total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
  • Net income was $12.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $14.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in net income was primarily a result of higher non-controlling interest losses of $9.0 million due to unrealized losses for shares held for the benefit of APC excluded assets.
  • Net income attributable to ApolloMed of $14.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 8%, compared to $13.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • EPS - diluted of $0.31 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.30 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Non-GAAP Measures for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2022:

  • EBITDA of $23.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $26.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Note About Consolidated Entities

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests represent third party equity ownership interests in the Company's consolidated entities (including certain VIEs). The amount of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is disclosed in the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Note About Stockholders' Equity, Certain Treasury Stock and Earnings Per Share

As of the date of this press release, 140,954 holdback shares have not been issued to certain former shareholders of the Company's subsidiary, Network Medical Management, Inc. ("NMM"), who were NMM shareholders at the time of closing of the merger, as they have yet to submit properly completed letters of transmittal to ApolloMed in order to receive their pro rata portion of ApolloMed's common stock and warrants as contemplated under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 21, 2016, among ApolloMed, NMM, Apollo Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Subsidiary") and Kenneth Sim, M.D., as amended, pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary merged with and into NMM, with NMM as the surviving corporation. Pending such receipt, such former NMM shareholders have the right to receive, without interest, their pro rata share of dividends or distributions with a record date after the effectiveness of the merger. The Company's consolidated financial statements have treated such shares of common stock as outstanding, given the receipt of the letter of transmittal is considered perfunctory and ApolloMed is legally obligated to issue these shares in connection with the merger.

Shares of ApolloMed's common stock owned by APC, a VIE of the Company, are legally issued and outstanding but excluded from shares of common stock outstanding in the Company's consolidated financial statements, as such shares are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes. Such shares, therefore, are not included in the number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate the Company's earnings per share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, of which the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") is net income. These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives to GAAP, and may be different from other non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure of our operations, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, excluding income or loss from equity method investments, unrealized gain or loss, provider bonuses, APC excluded assets costs, stock-based compensation, and other income or expenses recognized that are not related to the Company's normal operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effect on EBITDA of certain IPAs we recently acquired.

The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with relevant and useful information, as it allows investors to evaluate the operating performance of the business activities without having to account for differences recognized because of non-core or non-recurring financial information. When GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among those indicators the Company uses as a basis for evaluating operational performance, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. To the extent this release contains historical or future non-GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided corresponding GAAP financial measures for comparative purposes. The reconciliation between certain GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided above.
