Recent Operating Highlights:

• In December 2021, the Company announced that its affiliate AP-AMH 2 Medical Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the fully diluted capitalization of Jade Health Care Medical Group ("Jade Health"), a primary and specialty care physicians' group focused on providing high-quality care to its local communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Company anticipates closing this transaction by the end of the second quarter of 2022 and will fund the transaction from cash on hand.
• In January 2022, the Company announced that it acquired 100% of the fully diluted capitalization of Orma Health, Inc., and Provider Growth Solutions, LLC (together, "Orma Health") in accordance with an agreement between ApolloMed, Orma and certain equity holders of Orma Health. Through its suite of AI-driven solutions, Orma Health provides an analytics offering to providers in Direct Contracting Entities ("DCE") and serves over 2,700 patients in California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas through its remote patient monitoring ("RPM") platform.

Guidance:

ApolloMed anticipates full-year 2022 total revenue of between $1.03 billion and $1.08 billion, based on the Company's existing business, current view of existing market conditions, and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2022.

The Company is providing projections for total revenue only at this time due to uncertainties related to its participation in a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Innovation Center ("CMMI") innovation model, ongoing investment in staff to support future growth, and certain investments that depend on unpredictable macroeconomic factors.

Management Commentary:

Brandon Sim, Co-Chief Executive Officer of ApolloMed, stated, "At ApolloMed, we are proud of our unwavering commitment to enabling physicians in the delivery of quality care and driving superior patient outcomes. In 2021, we continued to leverage the benefits and efficiencies afforded by our proprietary technology platform and are very pleased with the continued organic growth of our organization and strategic transactions we have completed over the course of the year. We achieved 13% growth on the top line and nearly doubled net income attributable to ApolloMed in 2021 as a result of organic growth in our existing IPAs, increased risk pool settlements and incentives revenue, and our phenomenal performance in an ACO model in the 2020 performance year. We are strongly positioned for significant growth and were pleased to announce the acquisition of Jade Health, which, along with the acquisition of Access Primary Care Medical Group in the third quarter of 2021, is expected to strengthen our foothold in the San Francisco Bay Area where we now manage over 14,000 members and counting. We look forward to helping them continue to deliver high-quality, affordable healthcare to their Medicaid, Medicare, and Commercial members through their network of over 350 primary and specialty care providers.

"We're also excited by the continuous improvements we are adding to our purpose-built, end-to-end technology platform which enables physicians to excel in value-based care. With the acquisition of Orma Health last month, we have made great strides already in integrating their AI-driven analytics tools into our technology platform. Shortly after joining ApolloMed, Orma Health has seen a significant increase in demand for its products and today serves over 40,000 Medicare fee-for-service patients on its analytics platform and over 2,700 active members on its RPM platform, which is growing approximately 10% month over month. We continue to see Orma Health as a key growth driver within our Medicare FFS business lines in this coming year and beyond, driven by its ability to further augment our existing technology solutions, boost organic growth, and deliver deeper, actionable insights to enable our providers to truly succeed at value-based care and all CMMI programs."

Mr. Sim continued, "We remain optimistic about our prospects in 2022 as demonstrated by the growth we anticipate on the top line, which will be driven by strong organic growth in core markets and participation in a CMMI innovation model. We continue working closely with the Jade Health team and are on target to close by the end of the 2022 second quarter. Our M&A pipeline remains robust, and with a newly formed business development team in place, we are well positioned to continue our success in this area. It is important to note that the revenue guidance we have provided for 2022 does not account for any potential acquisitions or other major business transactions we may complete over the course of this year. We see a great deal of opportunity before us and look forward to continuing our work in empowering physicians across the country in the successful delivery of value-based care."

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 variable interest entities ("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 December 31, 2021, 140,954 holdback shares had 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 from equity method investments, provider bonuses, impairment of intangibles, provision for doubtful accounts and other income earned 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.
