ALHAMBRA, Calif. and GLENDALE, Calif., May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. ("ApolloMed" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: AMEH), an integrated population health management company, today announced its consolidated 1^st Quarter financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 (unaudited):

• Net revenue of $124.2 million as compared to net revenue of $85.3 million in the comparable period of 2017, an increase of 46%.
• Income from operations of $22.7 million as compared to $15.7 million in the comparable period of 2017, an increase of 45%.
• Net income attributable to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. of $2.2 million as compared to $4.3 million in the comparable period of 2017, a decrease of 50%. The decrease in net income was due to post-merger integration-related costs and investments to support two new management services agreements ("MSA"). The Company expects to substantially complete its merger integration by the end of Q2 and does not expect any further material expenditures to support the new contracts beyond Q1.
• As of March 31, 2018, the Company had total assets of $521.6 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $103.7 million.

• On February 5, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into an MSA with Golden Shore Medical Group to manage over 100,000 capitated health plan members in four California counties. Dr. J. Mario Molina, formerly the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Molina Healthcare, serves as President and owner of Golden Shore.

"We are very pleased with the progress of our long term growth initiatives, especially with our continued strong organic revenue growth," stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., Co-Chief Executive Officer of Apollo Medical Holdings.  "We are confident in our future and believe we are well-positioned for continued growth."

"In Q1 2018, our management team focused on integrating the two companies post-merger," stated Thomas Lam, M.D., Co-Chief Executive Officer of Apollo Medical Holdings.  "We also made important investments to support the management of the additional 260,000 patients."

"We are pleased with our Q1 2018 financial results," stated Kenneth Sim, M.D., Executive Chairman of Apollo Medical Holdings. "We believe that there will be no further material investments necessary to support the new contracts in Q2 and expect that post-merger integration costs will be less in Q2 than in Q1 and the integration will be substantially completed by the end of Q2. We look forward to the rest of fiscal year 2018."

Note About Historical Results for Periods Prior to the Merger

Following the closing of the merger involving Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. ("ApolloMed") and Network Medical Management, Inc. ("NMM") in December 2017 (the "Merger"), NMM is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of ApolloMed and the former NMM shareholders own a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of ApolloMed. For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a "reverse acquisition" and NMM is considered the accounting acquirer and ApolloMed the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, as of the closing of the Merger, for comparison purposes, NMM's historical results of operations replaced ApolloMed's historical results of operations for all periods prior to the Merger, and the results of operations of both companies are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for all periods following the Merger.

Note About Consolidated Entities

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which the Company 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 (including certain VIEs) in the Company's consolidated entities. The amount of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

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

As of the date of this press release, 1,000,970 shares of ApolloMed's common stock to be issued as part of the Merger are subject to ApolloMed receiving from those former NMM shareholders a properly completed letter of transmittal (and related exhibits) before such former NMM shareholders may receive their pro rata portion of ApolloMed common stock and warrants.  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 condensed consolidated financial statements have treated such shares of common stock as outstanding, given the receipt of the letter of transmittal is considered perfunctory and the Company is legally obligated to issue these shares as of the closing of the Merger.

Shares of ApolloMed's common stock owned by Allied Physicians of California IPA (d.b.a. Allied Pacific of California IPA), a variable interest entity of the Company, are legally issued and outstanding but excluded from shares of common stock outstanding in the Company's condensed 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.

• general economic uncertainty, and
• other factors described from time to time in the Company's reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (including without limitation the "Risk Factors" discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 2, 2018).
