Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) that are not historical factual statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seeks,” “aims,” “projects,” “is optimistic,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative versions of these words or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in several places throughout this Report and include, without limitation, statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, assumptions or current expectations concerning, among other things, our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, prospects, growth strategies, and our management transition.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be outside our control. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Report, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation, our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the market in which we operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows, and the development of the market in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. You are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report. A number of important factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, without limitation:
•our history of net losses and the expectation that our expenses will increase in the future;
•failure to identify and develop successful new geographies, physician partners and payors, or execute upon our growth initiatives;
•success in executing our operating strategies or achieving results consistent with our historical performance;

Overview and Recent Developments
Our business is transforming healthcare by empowering the primary care physicians (“PCPs”) to be the agent for change in the communities they serve. We believe that PCPs, with their intimate patient-physician relationships, are best positioned to drive meaningful change in quality, cost, and patient experience when provided with the right infrastructure and payment model. Through our combination of the agilon platform, a long-term partnership model with existing physician groups, and a growing network of like-minded physicians, we believe we are poised to revolutionize healthcare for seniors across communities throughout the United States. We believe our purpose-built model provides the necessary capabilities, capital, and business model for existing physician groups to create a Medicare-centric, globally capitated line of business. Our model operates by forming risk-bearing entities (“RBEs”) within local geographies, which enter into arrangements with payors providing for monthly payments to manage the total healthcare needs of our physician partners’ attributed patients (or, global capitation arrangements). The RBEs also contract with agilon to perform certain functions and enter into long-term professional service agreements with one or more anchor physician groups pursuant to which the anchor physician groups receive a base compensation rate and share in the savings from successfully improving quality of care and reducing costs.
Our business model is differentiated by its focus on existing community-based physician groups and is built around three key elements: (1) agilon’s platform; (2) agilon’s long-term physician partnership model; and (3) agilon’s network. With our model, our goal is to remove the barriers that prevent community-based physicians from evolving to a Total Care Model, where the physician is empowered to manage health outcomes and the total healthcare needs of their attributed Medicare patients.
First Quarter 2026 Results:
•Total revenue of $1.4 billion decreased 7% from three months ended March 31, 2025.
•Gross profit of $65 million, compared to $51 million in three months ended March 31, 2025.
•Medical margin of $149 million, compared to $128 million in three months ended March 31, 2025.
•Net income of $49 million, compared to $12 million in three months ended March 31, 2025.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $54 million, compared to $21 million in three months ended March 31, 2025.
Platform Membership Details
MA members decreased 13% from March 31, 2025, which reflects previously disclosed market exits, as well as payor exits in certain markets resulting from a disciplined approach to contracting focused on profitability. Total members live on the agilon platform at March 31, 2026 include 426,300 MA members and 109,500 attributed CMS ACO Models (as defined below) beneficiaries.
Average MA membership was 423,700 during the first quarter of 2026.

Reverse Stock Split
On March 30, 2026, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each twenty-five shares of common stock issued and outstanding was automatically reclassified, combined, and converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who were otherwise entitled to receive fractional shares automatically became entitled to receive cash in lieu of such fractional share. Proportional adjustments were made to the n

With our model, our goal is to remove the barriers that prevent community-based physicians from evolving to a Total Care Model, where the physician is empowered to manage health outcomes and the total healthcare needs of their attributed Medicare patients.

Reverse Stock Split
On February 6, 2026, we filed a preliminary proxy statement indicating our intent to seek stockholder approval at a special meeting of stockholders to be held on March 17, 2026 for the purpose of seeking: (i) an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of one-for-five to one-for-twenty-five, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the Board in its sole discretion without further stockholder approval, and (ii) authority to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the amendment. See the risk factor titled “The listing of shares of our common stock does not currently comply with the continued listing requirements of the NYSE, and if the NYSE delists our common stock, it could have an adverse impact on the trading, liquidity and market price of our common stock” in Item 1A. Risk Factors included in this Report.
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
All of our key metrics exclude historical results from our Hawaii operations (which are included as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements).
We monitor the following key financial and operating metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe the following key metrics are useful in evaluating our business (dollars in thousands):

(1)Medical margin and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Gross profit (loss) is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to medical margin. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.
Medicare Advantage Members
Our MA members include all individuals enrolled in an MA plan that are attributed to the PCPs on our platform at the end of a given period.
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Gross profit (loss) represents the amount earned from total revenues less medical services expense and other medical expenses. Total revenues include medical services revenue and other operating revenue. The Company’s costs of revenues consist of medical services expense and other medical expenses, which represents the costs that are directly related to providing the services that generate revenue.

(1)Represents physician compensation expense related to surplus sharing and other care management expenses that help to create medical cost efficiency. Includes costs in geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue and investments to grow existing markets. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, costs incurred in implementing geographies were $3.7 million, $5.4 million and $33.7 million, respectively.
Medical Margin
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. However, medical margin 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.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, for additional information regarding our use of medical margin and a reconciliation of gross profit (loss) to medical margin.
Platform Support Costs
Our platform support costs, which include regionally-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, are expected to decrease over time as a percentage of revenue as our physician partners add members and our revenue grows. Our operating expenses at the enterprise level include resources and technology to support payor contracting, clinical program development, quality, data management, finance, and legal and compliance functions.

Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. 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.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, for additional information regarding our use of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenues
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services. In certain of our payor arrangements, we are also financially responsible for Medicare Part D pharmaceutical costs for prescriptions rendered to members.
Medical services revenue constitutes substantially all of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.
For additional discussion related to our revenue, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” below and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.
Operating Expenses
Medical Services Expense
In each of our geographies, a network of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers provide care to our members. Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to our members. Our medical services expense trends primarily relate to changes in per visit costs incurred by our members, along with changes in health system and provider utilization of services. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed, or paid.
For additional discussion related to our medical services expense, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” below and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.
Other Medical Expenses
Other medical expenses include: (i) partner physician compensation expense and (ii) other provider costs. Partner physician compensation expense represents obligations to our physician partners corresponding to a portion of the surplus generated in our geographies, which is a function of medical services revenues less the sum of medical services expenses, other provider costs and market operating costs, for the respective geography. Physician payment obligations are reconciled quarterly, and settlement payments are typically issued to providers on an annual basis in arrears, with interim payments issued periodically. Other provider costs include payments to support physician-patient engagement, certain other medical costs, and other care management expenses that help to create medical cost efficiency. Other provider costs include costs incurred for geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of market-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, personnel and other operating costs to support our enterprise functions, and investments to support development and expansion of our physician partners. Our enterprise functions include salaries and related expenses, stock-based compensation (including shares issued under partner physician group equity agreements), operational support expenses, technology infrastructure, finance, and legal, as well as other costs associated with the continued growth of our platform. For the purposes of calculating physician partner incentive expense, we allocate a portion of our enterprise general and administrative expenses to our geographies. General and administrative expenses also include severance and accruals for unasserted claims.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses are associated with our property and equipment and acquired intangible assets. Depreciation includes expenses associated with computer equipment and software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Amortization primarily includes expenses associated with acquired intangible assets.
61
Table of Contents
Other Income (Expense)
Income (loss) from equity method investments
Income (loss) from equity method investments consists primarily of income associated with our participation in the CMS ACO Models programs.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net includes: (i) trademark licensing and other operating and administrative services to our equity method investments and (ii) interest income, which consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including amortization/accretion of discount/premium.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our outstanding debt, including amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
We are subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, foreign, and local income taxation. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management believes it is not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management makes estimates and judgments about future taxable income based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act did not have a material impact to our tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Total Discontinued Operations
Total discontinued operations primarily consist of the results of our former Hawaii operations. For certain of our divestiture transactions, we continue to be responsible for any liabilities arising from the business that were incurred prior to the closing date of such transaction, including any fines, penalties, and other sanctions, the payment of claims for medical services incurred prior to the effective date of each transaction, and other contingent liabilities that we currently believe are remote. For additional discussion, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.

Medical services revenue decreased by $126.4 million, or 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024 due primarily due to: (i) declines in average membership of 2%, which was attributable to partnership exits during 2024, and (ii) lower risk adjustment revenue, including unfavorable prior period development of approximately 1%, as a result of additional risk adjustment data received from payors. The decrease in medical services revenue was partially offset by new geographies that began to generate revenue in 2025 and growth in our existing geographies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present medical margin and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures.
66
Table of Contents
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 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 (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to medical margin. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. 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.
Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded therefrom are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such U.S. GAAP measures as net income (loss), cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Some of these limitations are:
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay taxes;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•Although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity
We strategically maintain a level of liquidity sufficient to allow us to meet our cash needs in the short-term. We have historically financed our operations primarily through funds generated from our capitation arrangements with payors, distributions and or payments from our equity method investments, issuances of equity securities, and borrowings under credit agreements. We generally invest any excess cash in money market accounts and marketable securities. Over the long term, our investment strategies are designed to provide safety and preservation of capital, and sufficient liquidity to meet the cash flow needs of our business operations.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $173.7 million and investments in marketable securities of $111.4 million.
From time to time, we may incur operating losses and may generate negative cash flows from operations. As a result, we may require additional capital resources in the future to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business. Our primary uses of cash include payments for medical claims and other medical expenses, including physician compensation expense, general and administrative expenses, costs associated with the development of new geographies and expansion of existing geographies, debt service and capital expenditures. Final reconciliation and receipt of amounts due from payors are typically settled in arrears, following completion of the contractual program year.
68
Table of Contents
We are party to various contractual obligations that we will be required to satisfy over the short and long term. The majority are discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report for additional information and primarily include the following:
•Medical claims and related payables. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report for additional information.
•Debt obligations. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report for additional information.
•Capital commitments. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report for additional information regarding capital commitments to physician partners to support physician partner expansion and related purposes.
Based on our planned operations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, as well as available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months, though we may require additional capital resources in the future. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Our cash flows are impacted by the timing of receipts from payors. Our business normally should produce positive cash flows during periods of positive medical margin. Conversely, cash flows would be negatively impacted during periods of negative medical margin. Our cash flows may also be affected by the timing of working capital items including accounts receivable, claims payable, other receivables and payables, and cash requirement covenants under our Credit Agreement, including daily minimum balances and cash collateral for issuing letters of credit.
We may require additional financing in the future to fund working capital and pay our obligations. We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings and/or debt financings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund our operations or on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to significantly reduce operating expenses, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
Our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock is significantly limited as a practical matter by our growth plans as well as the Credit Facility insofar as we may seek to pay dividends out of funds made available to us by agilon health management, inc. or its subsidiaries because the Credit Facility restricts agilon health management, inc.’s ability to pay dividends or make loans to us. The borrower on the Credit Facility is agilon health management, inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, including those identified as variable interest entities, and contain customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments including: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.
Debt Obligations
On February 18, 2021, we executed a credit facility agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2021 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2023 (the “Credit Agreement”), which includes: (i) a $100.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Secured Term Loan,” and together with the Secured Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”) and (ii) a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Secured Revolving Facility”) with a capacity to issue standby letters of credit in certain circumstances up to a maximum of $100.0 million. Subject to specified conditions and receipt of commitments, the Secured Term Loan may be expanded (or a new term loan facility, revolving credit facility or letter of credit facility added) by up to (i) $50.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount determined in accordance with a formula tied to repayment of certain of our indebtedness. The maturity date of the Credit Facility was February 18, 2026.
Effective with the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement on May 25, 2023, we transitioned to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a benchmark interest rate used in the Credit Agreement. At our option, borrowings under the Credit Facility can be either: (i) Term SOFR Rate Loans, (ii) Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, or (iii) Base Rate Loans, each as defined in the Credit Agreement. Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans and Term SOFR Rate Loans bear interest
69
Table of Contents
at a rate equal to the sum of 3.50% and the higher of (a) SOFR, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and (b) 0%. Base Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 2.50% and the highest of: (a) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (b) the prime rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (c) the one-month SOFR rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (d) 0%. Additionally, we pay a commitment fee on the unfunded Secured Revolving Facility amount of 0.375%. We must also pay customary letter of credit fees.
The Credit Facility contains customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments including: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.
On February 10, 2026, we entered into the third amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, which modified certain terms of our existing Credit Agreement. The Amendment, among other changes, (a) extended the stated maturity date from February 18, 2026 to February 18, 2028; (b) amended certain covenant “baskets” to be measured as a percentage of EBITDA rather than, or as an alternative to, Consolidated Total Assets; (c) required that Management maintain a minimum of $50.0 million in Total Cash as of the end of each Business Day; (d) conditioned certain payments, including dividends, to Holdings under the available amount “basket” on the Company achieving positive EBITDA for two consecutive trailing four-quarter periods each ending after the Third Amendment Effective Date; (e) required that any reduction in outstanding letters of credit be accompanied by a corresponding prepayment of term loans; (f) reduced the aggregate amount of revolving credit commitments from $100.0 million to $90.0 million; and (g) required cash collateralization at 103% of the amount of each letter of credit outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment effective date. Although the Secured Term Loan originally matured shortly after the balance sheet date, we completed the refinancing subsequent to December 31, 2025, but prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements that extended the contractual maturity of a portion of the obligation beyond one year. Accordingly, $15.8 million of the Secured Term Loan has been classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 2025, with the remaining $19.2 million classified as current with the first payment due in 2026.
Substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of the Amendment, we executed and delivered an unsecured guaranty of management’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
For additional discussion on our debt obligations, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.
Equity
As of December 31, 2025, we had 414.7 million shares of common stock outstanding. See “—Overview and Recent Developments” above for information related to our actions to pursue a reverse stock split and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report for additional information about our equity transactions.
Cash Flows
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table sets forth changes in cash flows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||||

2025 Cash Flows Compared to 2024 Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities was $105.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $57.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of a decline in medical margin and the timing of settlements with payors. Our cash flow from operations is dependent
70
Table of Contents
upon the number of members on our platform, the timing and amounts of settlements with payors and the level of operating and general and administrative expenses necessary to operate and grow our business, among other factors.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $88.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $139.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2025 and 2024 was primarily due to proceeds from the maturities, net of investments, of marketable securities of $103.6 million and $175.4 million, respectively. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2025, we received proceeds of $30.1 million primarily from the repayments from loans receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we made investments of $45.1 million and $55.0 million, respectively, primarily for the acquisition of intangible assets and property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our historical experience, known trends and events and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). Medical services revenue consists of capitation fees under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to monthly PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members attributed to our contracted physicians. PMPM fees are determined as a percent of the premium payors receive from CMS for these members. We generally accept full financial risk for members attributed to our contracted physicians, which means we are responsible for the cost of all healthcare services required by them. Contracts with payors are generally multi-year arrangements and have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series, as defined by ASC 606, to stand ready on a monthly basis to provide all aspects of necessary medical care to members for the contracted period. We recognize revenue in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare benefits during the contract term.
The transaction price for our MA capitation contracts is variable as the PMPM fees to which we are entitled are subject to periodic adjustment under CMS’s risk adjustment payment methodology. CMS deploys a risk adjustment model that determines premiums paid to all payors according to each member’s health status and certain demographic factors. Under this risk adjustment methodology, CMS calculates the risk adjusted premium payment using diagnosis data from various settings. We and our healthcare providers collect and submit the necessary and available diagnosis data to payors and we utilize such data to estimate risk adjustment payments to be received in subsequent periods. Risk adjustment-related revenues are estimated using the most likely amount methodology and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. PMPM fees are also subject to adjustment for incentives or penalties based on the achievement of certain quality metrics defined in our contracts with payors. We recognize incentive revenue as earned using the most likely amount methodology and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved.
71
Table of Contents
The determination of these estimates is subject to significant judgment. If these assessments were to change, the timing and amount of our revenue recognized would be impacted, which may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Medical Services Expense and Related Payables
Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to members by physicians, hospitals and other ancillary providers for which we are financially responsible, and which are paid either directly by us or by payors with whom we have contracted. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties, but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed or paid.
Such estimates are based on many variables, including utilization trends and historical and statistical lag analysis, among other factors. The assumptions for making such estimates and establishing liabilities are continually reviewed and updated, and any adjustments resulting therein are reflected in current period earnings. These estimates may differ from actual results, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The difference between the estimated liability and the related actual settlement of claims is recognized in the period the claims are settled.
If it is determined that our assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, our results of operations and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates may result in additional medical care expense or a reduction of medical care expense in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the considerable variability of healthcare costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and may be significant as compared to the net income (loss) recorded in that period.
The estimate of medical costs payable represents our best estimate of our liability for unpaid medical costs.

Overview and Key Developments
Our business is transforming healthcare by empowering the PCP to be the agent for change in the communities they serve. We believe that PCPs, with their intimate patient-physician relationships, are best positioned to drive meaningful change in quality, cost, and patient experience when provided with the right infrastructure and payment model. Through our combination of the agilon platform, a long-term partnership model with existing physician groups and a growing network of like-minded physicians, we believe we are poised to revolutionize healthcare for seniors across communities throughout the United States. We believe our purpose-built model provides the necessary capabilities, capital and business model for existing physician groups to create a Medicare-centric, globally capitated line of business. Our model operates by forming RBEs within local geographies, that enter into arrangements with payors providing for monthly payments to manage the total healthcare needs of our physician partners’ attributed patients (or, global capitation arrangements), contract with agilon to perform certain functions and enter into long-term professional service agreements with one or more anchor physician groups pursuant to which the anchor physician groups receive a base compensation rate and share in the savings from successfully improving quality of care and reducing costs.
Our business model is differentiated by its focus on existing community-based physician groups and is built around three key elements: (1) agilon’s platform; (2) agilon’s long-term physician partnership approach; and (3) agilon’s network. With our model, our goal is to remove the barriers that prevent community-based physicians from evolving to a Total Care Model, where the physician is empowered to manage health outcomes and the total healthcare needs of their attributed Medicare patients.
2024 Results:
•Medicare Advantage members of approximately 526,500 as of December 31, 2024 increased 36% from 2023.
•The CMS ACO Models attributed beneficiaries of approximately 132,100 as of December 31, 2024 increased 48% from 2023.
•Total revenue of $6.06 billion increased 40% from 2023.
•Gross profit of $4.8 million, compared to $69.7 million in 2023.
•Medical margin of $205.2 million, compared to $298.7 million in 2023.
•Net loss of $260.1 million, compared to $262.8 million in 2023.

(1)Medical margin and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Gross profit is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to medical margin. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information.
Medicare Advantage Members
Our MA members include all individuals enrolled in an MA plan that are attributed to the PCPs on our platform at the end of a given period.
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services.
Gross Profit
Gross profit represents the amount earned from total revenues less medical services expense and other medical expenses. Total revenues include medical services revenue and other operating revenue. The Company’s costs of revenues consist of medical services expense and other medical expenses, which represents the costs that are directly related to providing the services that generate revenue.

Includes costs in geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue and investments to grow existing markets. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, costs incurred in implementing geographies were $5.4 million, $33.7 million and $23.9 million, respectively.
Medical Margin
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 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.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, for additional information regarding our use of medical margin and a reconciliation of gross profit to medical margin.
Platform Support Costs
Our platform support costs, which include regionally-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, are expected to decrease over time as a percentage of revenue as our physician partners add members and our revenue grows. Our operating expenses at the enterprise level include resources and technology to support payor contracting, clinical program development, quality, data management, finance, and legal and compliance functions.
The table below represents costs to support our live geographies and enterprise functions, which are included in general and administrative expenses (dollars in thousands):

Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. 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.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, for additional information regarding our use of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenues
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services. In certain of our payor arrangements, we are also financially responsible for Medicare Part D pharmaceutical costs for prescriptions rendered to members.
Medical services revenue constitutes substantially all of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
For additional discussion related to our revenue, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” below and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.
Operating Expenses
Medical Services Expense
In each of our geographies, a network of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers provide care to our members. Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to our members. Our medical services expense trends primarily relate to changes in per visit costs incurred by our members, along with changes in health system and provider utilization of services. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed, or paid.
For additional discussion related to our medical services expense, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” below and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.
Other Medical Expenses
Other medical expenses include: (i) partner physician compensation expense and (ii) other provider costs. Partner physician compensation expense represents obligations to our physician partners corresponding to a portion of the surplus generated in our geographies, which is a function of medical services revenues less the sum of medical services expenses, other provider costs and market operating costs, for the respective geography. Physician payment obligations are reconciled quarterly, and settlement payments are typically issued to providers on an annual basis in arrears, with interim payments issued periodically. Other provider costs include payments to support physician-patient engagement, certain other medical costs, and other care management expenses that help to create medical cost efficiency. Other provider costs include costs incurred for geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of market-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, personnel and other operating costs to support our enterprise functions, and investments to support development and expansion of our physician partners. Our enterprise functions include salaries and related expenses, stock-based compensation (including shares issued under partner physician group equity agreements), operational support expenses, technology infrastructure, finance, and legal, as well as other costs associated with the continued growth of our platform. For the purposes of calculating physician partner incentive expense, we allocate a portion of our enterprise general and administrative expenses to our geographies. General and administrative expenses also include severance and accruals for unasserted claims.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses are associated with our property and equipment and acquired intangible assets. Depreciation includes expenses associated with buildings, computer equipment and software, furniture

and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Amortization primarily includes expenses associated with acquired intangible assets.
Other Income (Expense)
Income (loss) from equity method investments
Income (loss) from equity method investments consists primarily of income associated with our participation in the CMS ACO Models programs.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net includes interest income, which consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including amortization/accretion of discount/premium.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our outstanding debt, including amortization of debt issuance costs.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
We are subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, and local income taxation. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management believes it is not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management makes estimates and judgments about future taxable income based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates.
Total Discontinued Operations
Total discontinued operations consist of the results of our Hawaii and California operations. For certain of our divestiture transactions, we continue to be responsible for any liabilities arising from the business that were incurred prior to the closing date of such transaction, including any fines, penalties, and other sanctions, the payment of claims for medical services incurred prior to the effective date of each transaction, a liability for unrecognized tax benefits for which we are indemnified, and other contingent liabilities that we currently believe are remote. For additional discussion, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.

Medical services revenue increased by $1.74 billion, or 40%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023 due primarily to growth in average membership of 38%, which was attributable to seven new geographies that became operational in 2024 as well as growth in our existing geographies. The increase in medical services revenue was also driven, to a lesser extent, by a 2% increase in PMPM capitation rates. The increase in medical services revenue was partially offset by higher costs associated with prescription drug benefits provided under the Medicare Part D program, which is a reduction to medical services revenue, and lower risk adjustment revenue related to unfavorable prior period development.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with U.S. 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 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 U.S. GAAP measure to medical margin. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. 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.
Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded therefrom are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such U.S. GAAP measures as net income (loss), cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other
65
Table of Contents
financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Some of these limitations are:
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay taxes;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•Although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily through funds generated from our capitation arrangements with payors, issuances of equity securities, and borrowings under credit agreements. We generally invest any excess cash in money market accounts, which are classified as cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Our investment strategies are designed to provide safety and preservation of capital, sufficient liquidity to meet the cash flow needs of our business operations and attainment of a competitive return.
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $188.2 million and investments in marketable securities of $211.7 million.
We expect to continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future due to the investments we intend to continue to make in expanding our business and additional general and administrative costs we expect to incur related to our operation as a public company. As a result, we may require additional capital resources in the future to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business.
Our primary uses of cash include payments for medical claims and other medical expenses, general and administrative expenses, costs associated with the development of new geographies and expansion of existing geographies, debt service and capital expenditures. Final reconciliation and receipt of amounts due from payors are typically settled in arrears, following completion of the contractual program year.
Based on our planned operations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, as well as available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months, though we may require additional capital resources in the future (i.e., beyond the next 12 months). We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
We may require additional financing in the future to fund working capital and pay our obligations. We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings and/or debt financings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund our operations or on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to significantly reduce operating expenses, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
Our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock is significantly limited as a practical matter by our growth plans as well as the Credit Facility insofar as we may seek to pay dividends out of funds made available to us by agilon health management, inc. or its subsidiaries because the Credit Facility restricts agilon health management, inc.’s ability to pay dividends or make loans to us. The borrower on the Credit Facility is agilon health management, inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, including those identified as variable interest entities, and contain customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments such as: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.
Cash Flows
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table sets forth changes in cash flows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Table of Contents
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $57.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $156.2 million and $130.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily a result of decreased provider costs, including partner physician incentive expenses, and the timing of settlements with payors from new and existing geographies, partially offset by the increase in gross profit contributed from new and existing geographies. The increase in net cash used in operating activities in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily a result of the increase in medical margin contributed from new and existing geographies, partially offset by increased provider costs, including partner physician incentive expenses and the timing of settlements with payors from new and existing geographies.
Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the number of members on our platform, the timing of settlements with payors and the level of operating and general and administrative expenses necessary to operate and grow our business, among other factors.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $139.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $44.0 million and $444.4 million for the years ended and December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2024 was due primarily to maturities of marketable securities of $206.9 million. Net cash used in investing activities in 2023 was due primarily for the acquisition of My Personal Health Record Express, Inc. for $44.4 million. Net cash used in investing activities in 2022 was due primarily to investments in marketable securities of $458.3 million.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million and $193.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we used $200.0 million to repurchase our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received net proceeds of $33.1 million from the exercise of stock options.
Debt Obligations
On February 18, 2021, we executed a credit facility agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2021 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2023. The Credit Facility includes: (i) a $100.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Secured Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Secured Revolving Facility”) with a capacity to issue standby letters of credit in certain circumstances up to a maximum of $100.0 million. Subject to specified conditions and receipt of commitments, the Secured Term Loan Facility may be expanded (or a new term loan facility, revolving credit facility or letter of credit facility added) by up to (i) $50.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount determined in accordance with a formula tied to repayment of certain of our indebtedness. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 18, 2026.
Effective with the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement on May 25, 2023, we transitioned to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a benchmark interest rate used in the credit agreement. At our option, borrowings under the credit agreement can be either: (i) SOFR Rate Loans, (ii) Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, or (iii) Base Rate Loans. Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans and SOFR Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 3.50% and the higher of (a) SOFR, as defined in the credit agreement, and (b) 0%. Base Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 2.50% and the highest of: (a) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (b) the prime rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (c) the one-month SOFR rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (d) 0%. Additionally, we pay a commitment fee on the unfunded Secured Revolving Facility amount of 0.375%. We must also pay customary letter of credit fees.
The Credit Facility contains customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments including: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our historical experience, known trends and events and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). Medical services revenue consists of capitation fees under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to monthly PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members attributed to our contracted physicians. PMPM fees are determined as a percent of the premium payors receive from CMS for these members. We generally accept full financial risk for members attributed to our contracted physicians, which means we are responsible for the cost of all healthcare services required by them. Contracts with payors are generally multi-year arrangements and have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series, as defined by ASC 606, to stand ready on a monthly basis to provide all aspects of
69
Table of Contents
necessary medical care to members for the contracted period. We recognize revenue in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare benefits during the contract term.
The transaction price for our MA capitation contracts is variable as the PMPM fees to which we are entitled are subject to periodic adjustment under CMS’s risk adjustment payment methodology. CMS deploys a risk adjustment model that determines premiums paid to all payors according to each member’s health status and certain demographic factors. Under this risk adjustment methodology, CMS calculates the risk adjusted premium payment using diagnosis data from various settings. We and our healthcare providers collect and submit the necessary and available diagnosis data to payors and we utilize such data to estimate risk adjustment payments to be received in subsequent periods. Risk adjustment-related revenues are estimated using the most likely amount methodology and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. PMPM fees are also subject to adjustment for incentives or penalties based on the achievement of certain quality metrics defined in our contracts with payors. We recognize incentive revenue as earned using the most likely amount methodology and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved.
The determination of these estimates is subject to significant judgment. If these assessments were to change, the timing and amount of our revenue recognized would be impacted, which may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Medical Services Expense and Related Payables
Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to members by physicians, hospitals and other ancillary providers for which we are financially responsible, and which are paid either directly by us or by payors with whom we have contracted. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties, but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed or paid.
Such estimates are based on many variables, including utilization trends and historical and statistical lag analysis, among other factors. The assumptions for making such estimates and establishing liabilities are continually reviewed and updated, and any adjustments resulting therein are reflected in current period earnings. These estimates may differ from actual results, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The difference between the estimated liability and the related actual settlement of claims is recognized in the period the claims are settled.
If it is determined that our assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, our results of operations and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates may result in additional medical care expense or a reduction of medical care expense in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the considerable variability of healthcare costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and may be significant as compared to the net income (loss) recorded in that period.
The estimate of medical costs payable represents our best estimate of our liability for unpaid medical costs.

Overview and Key Developments
Our business is transforming healthcare by empowering the PCP to be the agent for change in the communities they serve. We believe that PCPs, with their intimate patient-physician relationships, are best positioned to drive meaningful change in quality, cost, and patient experience when provided with the right infrastructure and payment model. Through our combination of the agilon platform, a long-term partnership model with existing physician groups and a growing network of like-minded physicians, we believe we are poised to revolutionize healthcare for seniors across communities throughout the United States. We believe our purpose-built model provides the necessary capabilities, capital and business model for existing physician groups to create a Medicare-centric, globally capitated line of business. Our model operates by forming RBEs within local geographies, that enter into arrangements with payors providing for monthly payments to manage the total healthcare needs of our physician partners’ attributed patients (or, global capitation arrangements), contract with agilon to perform certain functions and enter into long-term professional service agreements with one or more anchor physician groups pursuant to which the anchor physician groups receive a base compensation rate and share in the savings from successfully improving quality of care and reducing costs.
Our business model is differentiated by its focus on existing community-based physician groups and is built around three key elements: (1) agilon’s platform; (2) agilon’s long-term physician partnership approach; and (3) agilon’s network. With our model, our goal is to remove the barriers that prevent community-based physicians from evolving to a Total Care Model, where the physician is empowered to manage health outcomes and the total healthcare needs of their attributed Medicare patients.
2023 Results:
•Medicare Advantage members of approximately 388,400 as of December 31, 2023 increased 68% from 2022.
•ACO REACH attributed beneficiaries of approximately 89,300 as of December 31, 2023 remained flat from 2022.
•Total revenue of $4.32 billion increased 81% from 2022.
•Gross profit of $69.7 million, compared to $111.4 million in 2022.
•Medical margin of $298.7 million, compared to $291.0 million in 2022.

388,400 Medicare Advantage members and 89,300 attributed ACO REACH beneficiaries. Average Medicare Advantage membership during 2023 was approximately 379,400.
Disposition of Hawaii Operations
On October 31, 2023, we completed the disposition of MDX Hawaii, Inc. (“MDX Hawaii”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, and its related operations. Acquired by agilon in 2016, MDX Hawaii is a provider network with fully-delegated risk contracts and management services organization capabilities, including claims processing and utilization management. Our decision to exit Hawaii and the Independent Practice Association line of business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, our Hawaii operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
All of our key metrics exclude historical results from our Hawaii and California operations (which are included as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements).
We monitor the following key financial and operating metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe the following key metrics are useful in evaluating our business (dollars in thousands):

(1)Medical margin and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Gross profit is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to medical margin. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information.
Medicare Advantage Members
Our MA members include all individuals enrolled in an MA plan that are attributed to the PCPs on our platform at the end of a given period.
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services.
Gross Profit
Gross profit represents the amount earned from total revenues less medical services expense and other medical expenses. Total revenues include medical services revenue and other operating revenue. The Company’s costs of revenues consist of medical services expense and other medical expenses, which represents the costs that are directly related to providing the services that generate revenue.

(1)Represents physician compensation expense related to surplus sharing and other care management expenses that help to create medical cost efficiency. Includes costs in geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue and investments to grow existing markets. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, costs incurred in implementing geographies were $33.7 million, $23.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively.
Medical Margin
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 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.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, for information regarding our use of medical margin and a reconciliation of gross profit to medical margin.
Platform Support Costs
Our platform support costs, which include regionally-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, are expected to decrease over time as a percentage of revenue as our physician partners add members and our revenue grows. Our operating expenses at the enterprise level include resources and technology to support payor contracting, clinical program development, quality, data management, finance, and legal and compliance functions.
The table below represents costs to support our live geographies and enterprise functions, which are included in general and administrative expenses (dollars in thousands):

Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. 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.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, for information regarding our use of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenues
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services.
Medical services revenue constitutes substantially all of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
For additional discussion related to our revenue, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” below and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating Expenses
Medical Services Expense
In each of our geographies, a network of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers provide care to our members. Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to our members. Our medical services expense trends primarily relate to changes in per visit costs incurred by our members, along with changes in health system and provider utilization of services. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed, or paid.
For additional discussion related to our medical services expense, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” below and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Medical Expenses
Other medical expenses include: (i) partner physician compensation expense and (ii) other provider costs. Partner physician compensation expense represents obligations to our physician partners corresponding to a portion of the surplus generated in our geographies, which is a function of medical services revenues less the sum of medical services expenses, other provider costs and market operating costs, for the respective geography. Physician payment obligations are reconciled quarterly, and settlement payments are typically issued to providers on an annual basis in arrears, with interim payments issued periodically. Other provider costs include payments to support physician-patient engagement, certain other medical costs, and other care management expenses that help to create medical cost efficiency. Other provider costs include costs incurred for geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of market-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, personnel and other operating costs to support our enterprise functions, and investments to support development and expansion of our physician partners. Our enterprise functions include salaries and related expenses, stock-based compensation (including shares issued under partner physician group equity agreements), operational support expenses, technology infrastructure, finance, and legal, as well as other costs associated with the continued growth of our platform. For the purposes of calculating physician partner incentive expense, we allocate a portion of our enterprise general and administrative expenses to our geographies. General and administrative expenses also include severance and accruals for unasserted claims.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses are associated with our property and equipment and acquired intangible assets. Depreciation includes expenses associated with buildings, computer equipment and software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Amortization primarily includes expenses associated with acquired intangible assets.
57
Table of Contents
Other Income (Expense)
Income (loss) from equity method investments
Income (loss) from equity method investments consists primarily of income associated with our participation in the ACO REACH program.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net includes interest income, which consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including amortization/accretion of discount/premium.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our outstanding debt, including amortization of debt issuance costs.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
We are subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, and local income taxation. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management believes it is not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management makes estimates and judgments about future taxable income based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates.
Total Discontinued Operations
Total discontinued operations consist of the results of our Hawaii and California operations. For certain of our divestiture transactions, we continue to be responsible for any liabilities arising from the business that were incurred prior to the closing date of such transaction, including any fines, penalties, and other sanctions, the payment of claims for medical services incurred prior to the effective date of each transaction, a liability for unrecognized tax benefits for which we are indemnified, and other contingent liabilities that we currently believe are remote. For additional discussion, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

General and administrative expenses decreased $219.7 million, or 51%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with U.S. 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 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 U.S. GAAP measure to medical margin. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. 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.
Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded therefrom are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such U.S. GAAP measures as net income (loss), cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Some of these limitations are:
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay taxes;
64
Table of Contents
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•Although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily through funds generated from our capitation arrangements with payors, issuances of equity securities, and borrowings under credit agreements. We generally invest any excess cash in money market accounts, which are classified as cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Our investment strategies are designed to provide safety and preservation of capital, sufficient liquidity to meet the cash flow needs of our business operations and attainment of a competitive return.
65
Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $107.6 million and investments in marketable securities of $380.8 million.
We expect to continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future due to the investments we intend to continue to make in expanding our business and additional general and administrative costs we expect to incur related to our operation as a public company. As a result, we may require additional capital resources in the future to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business.
Our primary uses of cash include payments for medical claims and other medical expenses, general and administrative expenses, costs associated with the development of new geographies and expansion of existing geographies, debt service and capital expenditures. Final reconciliation and receipt of amounts due from payors are typically settled in arrears, following completion of the contractual program year.
Our investment strategies are designed to provide safety and preservation of capital, sufficient liquidity to meet the cash flow needs of our business operations, and attainment of a competitive return.
Based on our planned operations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, as well as available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months, though we may require additional capital resources in the future. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
We may require additional financing in the future to fund working capital and pay our obligations. We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings and/or debt financings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund our operations or on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to significantly reduce operating expenses, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
Our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock is significantly limited as a practical matter by our growth plans as well as the Credit Facility insofar as we may seek to pay dividends out of funds made available to us by agilon management or its subsidiaries because the Credit Facility restrict agilon management’s ability to pay dividends or make loans to us. The borrower on the Credit Facility is agilon management, our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, including those identified as variable interest entities, and contain customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments such as: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.
As of December 31, 2023, we had $25.1 million outstanding surety bonds related to health plan payor risk-bearing capital contributions.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $156.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $130.8 million and $148.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net cash used in operating activities in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily a result of increased provider costs, including partner physician incentive expenses, and the timing of settlements with payors from new and existing geographies, partially offset by the increase in gross profit contributed from new and existing geographies. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily a result of the increase in medical margin contributed from new and existing geographies, partially offset by increased provider costs, including partner physician incentive expenses and the timing of settlements with payors from new and existing geographies.
Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the number of members on our platform, the timing of settlements with payors and the level of operating and general and administrative expenses necessary to operate and grow our business, among other factors.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $44.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $444.4 million and $90.5 million for the years ended and December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash used in investing activities in 2023 was due primarily for the acquisition of our My Personal Health Record Express, Inc. acquisition for $44.4 million in 2023. The increase in net cash used in investing activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was due primarily to investments in marketable securities of $458.3 million during 2022.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $193.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $28.1 million and $1.15 billion for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we used $200.0 million to repurchase our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received net proceeds of $33.1 million from the exercise of stock options. In February 2021, we refinanced our existing debt with a $100.0 million term loan, receiving net proceeds of $30.1 million. In April 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion upon the completion of our IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs. Upon completion of our IPO in April 2021, we repaid $50.0 million of the term loan as required under the terms of our credit facility.
Debt Obligations
On February 18, 2021, we executed a credit facility agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2021 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2023. The Credit Facility includes: (i) a $100.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Secured Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Secured Revolving Facility”) with a capacity to issue standby letters of credit in certain circumstances up to a maximum of $100.0 million. Subject to specified conditions and receipt of commitments, the Secured Term Loan Facility may be expanded (or a new term loan facility, revolving credit facility or letter of credit facility added) by up to (i) $50.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount determined in accordance with a formula tied to repayment of certain of our indebtedness. The maturity date of the Credit Facility was extended to February 18, 2026.
Effective with the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement on May 25, 2023, we transitioned to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a benchmark interest rate used in the credit agreement. At our option, borrowings under the credit agreement can be either: (i) SOFR Rate Loans, (ii) Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, or (iii) Base Rate Loans. Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans and SOFR Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 3.50% and the higher of (a) SOFR, as defined in the credit agreement, and (b) 0%. Base Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 2.50% and the highest of: (a) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (b) the prime rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (c) the one-month LIBO rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (d) 0%. Additionally, we pay a commitment fee on the unfunded 2021 Secured Revolving Facility amount of 0.375%. We must also pay customary letter of credit fees.
The Credit Facility contains customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments including: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our historical experience, known trends and events and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). Medical services revenue consists of capitation fees under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to monthly PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members attributed to our contracted physicians. PMPM fees are determined as a percent of the premium payors receive from CMS for these members. We generally accept full financial risk for members attributed to our contracted physicians, which means we are responsible for the cost of all healthcare services required by them. Contracts with payors are generally multi-year arrangements and have a single performance
68
Table of Contents
obligation that constitutes a series, as defined by ASC 606, to stand ready on a monthly basis to provide all aspects of necessary medical care to members for the contracted period. We recognize revenue in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare benefits during the contract term.
The transaction price for our MA capitation contracts is variable as the PMPM fees to which we are entitled are subject to periodic adjustment under CMS’s risk adjustment payment methodology. CMS deploys a risk adjustment model that determines premiums paid to all payors according to each member’s health status and certain demographic factors. Under this risk adjustment methodology, CMS calculates the risk adjusted premium payment using diagnosis data from various settings. We and our healthcare providers collect and submit the necessary and available diagnosis data to payors and we utilize such data to estimate risk adjustment payments to be received in subsequent periods. Risk adjustment-related revenues are estimated using the most likely amount methodology and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. PMPM fees are also subject to adjustment for incentives or penalties based on the achievement of certain quality metrics defined in our contracts with payors. We recognize incentive revenue as earned using the most likely amount methodology and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved.
The determination of these estimates is subject to significant judgment. If these assessments were to change, the timing and amount of our revenue recognized would be impacted, which may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Medical Services Expense and Related Payables
Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to members by physicians, hospitals and other ancillary providers for which we are financially responsible, and which are paid either directly by us or by payors with whom we have contracted. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties, but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed or paid.
Such estimates are based on many variables, including utilization trends and historical and statistical lag analysis, among other factors. The assumptions for making such estimates and establishing liabilities are continually reviewed and updated, and any adjustments resulting therein are reflected in current period earnings. These estimates may differ from actual results, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The difference between the estimated liability and the related actual settlement of claims is recognized in the period the claims are settled.
If it is determined that our assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, our results of operations and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates may result in additional medical care expense or a reduction of medical care expense in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the considerable variability of healthcare costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and may be significant as compared to the net income (loss) recorded in that period.
The estimate of medical costs payable represents our best estimate of our liability for unpaid medical costs.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized (i) on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards subject only to service-based vesting conditions or (ii) upon the achievement of the underlying performance condition for awards subject to such conditions. We determine the fair value of stock-based option awards subject to a service condition on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, unless the awards are also subject to a market condition, in which case we use a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Assumptions for volatility, expected option life and risk free interest rate are used in our models.
Certain of our arrangements provided for the vesting of share-based awards to third parties at the time of an initial public offering or sale of a controlling interest (“Change of Control Event”). Such share-based instruments granted to third parties are accounted for as non-employee awards for which compensation cost is recognized upon the achievement of the underlying performance condition of a Change of Control Event. As the instruments were liability-classified, the amount of shares ultimately issued and related compensation cost were measured at the vesting date in April 2021, as a

Change of Control Event was not deemed probable until consummated. Upon our IPO, we recognized stock-based compensation cost relating to these share-based instruments of $268.5 million.

Overview and Key Developments
Our business is transforming healthcare by empowering the PCP to be the agent for change in the communities they serve. We believe that PCPs, with their intimate patient-physician relationships, are best positioned to drive meaningful change in quality, cost, and patient experience when provided with the right infrastructure and payment model. Through our combination of the agilon platform, a long-term partnership model with existing physician groups and a growing network of like-minded physicians, we are poised to revolutionize healthcare for seniors across communities throughout the United States. Our purpose-built model provides the necessary capabilities, capital and business model for existing physician groups to create a Medicare-centric, globally capitated line of business. Our model operates by forming RBEs within local geographies, that enter into arrangements with payors providing for monthly payments to manage the total healthcare needs of our physician partners’ attributed patients (or, global capitation arrangements), contract with agilon to perform certain functions and enter into long-term professional service agreements with one or more anchor physician groups pursuant to which the anchor physician groups receive a base compensation rate and share in the savings from successfully improving quality of care and reducing costs.
Our business model is differentiated by its focus on existing community-based physician groups and is built around three key elements: (1) agilon’s platform; (2) agilon’s long-term physician partnership approach; and (3) agilon’s network. With our model, our goal is to remove the barriers that prevent community-based physicians from evolving to a Total Care Model, where the physician is empowered to manage health outcomes and the total healthcare needs of their attributed Medicare patients.
2022 Results:
•
Medicare Advantage members of approximately 269,500 as of December 31, 2022 increased 45% from 2021.

Platform Membership Details
Medicare Advantage members increased 45% during 2022, which includes contributions from new geographies and growth within geographies existing prior to 2022. Total members live on the agilon platform include 269,500 Medicare Advantage members and 89,000 attributed Direct Contracting beneficiaries. Average Medicare Advantage membership during 2022 was approximately 263,900.
COVID-19
We continue to monitor and assess the estimated operating and financial impact of COVID-19. Future developments, such as the severity and duration of new COVID-19 variants, COVID-19’s impact on the U.S. economy, consumer behavior and health care utilization patterns, and the timing, scope, and impact of legislation as well as other federal, state, and local governmental responses to the pandemic could introduce new uncertainties to care patterns and our business. During the year ended December 31, 2022, overall care was near normal baseline levels, with certain areas of care at or approaching seasonal baselines. Future care patterns and acuity may temporarily rise due to missed regular care.
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
All of our key metrics exclude historical results from our California operations (which are included as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements).
We monitor the following key financial and operating metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe the following key metrics are useful in evaluating our business (dollars in thousands):

Medicare Advantage Members
Our MA members include all individuals enrolled in an MA plan that are attributed to the PCPs on our platform at the end of a given period.
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services.

Medical Margin
Medical margin represents the amount earned from medical services revenue after medical services expenses are 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 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.

Platform Support Costs
Our platform support costs, which include regionally-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, are expected to decrease over time as a percentage of revenue as our physician partners add members and our revenue grows. Our operating expenses at the enterprise level include resources and technology to support payor contracting, clinical program development, quality, data management, finance and legal functions.

Income (Loss) From Operations and Network Contribution
Income (loss) from operations is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to network contribution. We define network contribution as medical services revenue less the sum of: (i) medical services expense and (ii) other medical expenses excluding costs incurred in implementing geographies. Other medical expenses consist of physician compensation expense related to surplus sharing and other direct medical expenses incurred to improve care for our members. We believe this metric provides insight into the economics of our Total Care Model, as it includes all medical services expense associated with our members’ care as well as partner compensation and additional medical costs we incur as part of our aligned partnership model. Other medical expenses are largely variable and proportionate to the level of surplus in each respective geography.

Represents physician compensation expense related to surplus sharing and other direct medical expenses incurred to improve care for our members in our live geographies. Excludes costs in geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, costs incurred in implementing geographies were $23.9 million, $12.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information regarding our use of network contribution and a reconciliation of income (loss) from operations to network contribution.
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. 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) geography entry costs, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) severance and related costs, and (viii) 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.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information regarding our use of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenues
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services.
Medical services revenue constitutes substantially all of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
For additional discussion related to our revenue, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating Expenses
Medical Services Expense
In each of our geographies, a network of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers provide care to our members. Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to our members. Our medical services expense trends primarily relate to changes in per visit costs incurred by our members, along with changes in health system and provider utilization of services. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties, but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed or paid.
For additional discussion related to our medical services expense, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
61
Table of Contents
Other Medical Expenses
Other medical expenses include: (i) partner physician compensation expense and (ii) other provider costs. Partner physician compensation expense represents obligations to our physician partners corresponding to a portion of the surplus generated in our geographies, which is a function of medical services revenues less the sum of medical services expenses, other provider costs and market operating costs, for the respective geography. Physician payment obligations are reconciled quarterly, and settlement payments are typically issued to providers on an annual basis in arrears, with interim payments issued periodically. Other provider costs include payments to support physician-patient engagement, certain other medical costs, and other care management expenses that help to create medical cost efficiency. Other provider costs include costs incurred for geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of market-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, personnel and other operating costs to support our enterprise functions, and investments to support development and expansion of our physician partners. Our enterprise functions include salaries and related expenses, stock-based compensation (including shares issued under partner physician group equity agreements), operational support expenses, technology infrastructure, finance, legal, as well as other costs associated with the continued growth of our platform. For the purposes of calculating physician partner incentive expense, we allocate a portion of our enterprise general and administrative expenses to our geographies.
General and administrative expenses also include severance, management fees paid to our largest shareholder prior to our IPO and accruals for unasserted claims.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses are associated with our property and equipment and acquired intangible assets. Depreciation includes expenses associated with buildings, computer and network equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Amortization primarily includes expenses associated with acquired intangible assets.
Other Income (Expense)
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net includes the following items:
•
Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures; and
•
Interest income, which consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including amortization/accretion of discount/premium.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our outstanding debt, including amortization of debt issuance costs.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
We are subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, and local income taxation. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management believes it is not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management makes estimates and judgments about future taxable income based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates.

Total Discontinued Operations
Total discontinued operations consist of the results of our California operations, which include the entirety of our Medicaid line of business. For certain of our California divestiture transactions, we continue to be responsible for any liabilities arising from the business that were incurred prior to the closing date of such transaction, including any fines, penalties, and other sanctions, the payment of claims for medical services incurred prior to the effective date of each transaction, a liability for unrecognized tax benefits for which we are indemnified, and other contingent liabilities that we currently believe are remote. For additional discussion, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

General and administrative expenses decreased $236.9 million, or 52%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021. Substantially all of the year-over-year decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to a $264.0 million decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, which was largely related to shares issued under partner physician group equity agreements in connection with our IPO in April 2021 and the satisfaction of a performance condition associated with certain stock options in the third quarter of 2021.
Operating costs to support our live geographies and enterprise functions (platform support costs) increased by $23.0 million to $146.5 million in 2022 compared to $123.5 million in 2021 due primarily to growth in operating costs incurred to support geographies that became operational in 2022. Operating costs to support our live geographies and enterprise functions as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 7% for the same period in 2021. Investments to support geography entry increased to $43.9 million in 2022, compared to $20.6 million in 2021 due to increased costs associated with our geographies that become operational in the following calendar year.
In aggregate, costs incurred for severance, fees paid to our largest shareholder (pursuant to a consulting agreement, which terminated prior to the IPO), and accruals for unasserted claims and contingent liabilities decreased by $19.1 million primarily as a result of a reduction in reserves for certain contingent liabilities and severance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we present network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures.
We define network contribution as medical services revenue less the sum of: (i) medical services expense and (ii) other medical expenses excluding costs incurred in implementing geographies. Other medical expenses consist of physician compensation expense related to surplus sharing and other direct medical expenses incurred to improve care for our members. We believe this metric provides insight into the economics of our Total Care Model as it includes all medical services expense associated with our members’ care as well as partner incentive and additional medical costs we incur as part of our aligned partnership model. Other medical expenses are largely variable and proportionate to the level of surplus in each respective geography.
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) geography entry costs, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) severance and related costs, and (viii) 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.
Income (loss) from operations is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to network contribution. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.
We believe network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in our business and facilitate evaluation of period-to-period operating performance of our live geographies 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 network contribution 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 network contribution 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 network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently from the way we calculate these metrics. As a result, our presentation of network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded therefrom are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income (loss), cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Some of these limitations are:
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay taxes;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•
Although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily through funds generated from our capitation arrangements with payors, issuances of equity securities, and borrowings under credit agreements. We generally invest any excess cash in money market accounts, which are classified as cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Our investment strategies are designed to provide safety and preservation of capital, sufficient liquidity to meet the cash flow needs of our business operations and attainment of a competitive return.
As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $497.1 million and investments in marketable securities of $411.9 million.
We expect to continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future due to the investments we intend to continue to make in expanding our business and additional general and administrative costs we expect to incur related to our operation as a public company. As a result, we may require additional capital resources in the future to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business.
Our primary uses of cash include payments for medical claims and other medical expenses, general and administrative expenses, costs associated with the development of new geographies and expansion of existing geographies, debt service and capital expenditures. Final reconciliation and receipt of amounts due from payors are typically settled in arrears, following completion of the contractual program year.
Our investment strategies are designed to provide safety and preservation of capital, sufficient liquidity to meet the cash flow needs of our business operations, and attainment of a competitive return.
Based on our planned operations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, as well as available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facilities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months, though we may require additional capital resources in the future. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
We may require additional financing in the future to fund working capital and pay our obligations. We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings and/or debt financings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund our operations or on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to significantly reduce operating expenses, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
Our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock is significantly limited as a practical matter by our growth plans as well as the Credit Facilities insofar as we may seek to pay dividends out of funds made available to us by agilon management or its subsidiaries because the Credit Facilities restrict agilon management’s ability to pay dividends or make loans to us. The borrower on the Credit Facilities is agilon management, our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Credit Facilities are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, including those identified as VIEs, and contain customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments such as: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.

Cash Flows
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table sets forth changes in cash flows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $130.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $148.2 million and $53.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily a result of the increase in medical margin contributed from new and existing geographies, partially offset by increased provider costs, including partner physician incentive expenses and the timing of settlements with payors from new and existing geographies. The increase in net cash used in operating activities in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily a result of: (i) the transition of claims payment services back to the health plan for one of our capitation contracts effective January 1, 2021, (ii) higher geography entry costs, (iii) accelerated timing of claims payments in certain markets, and (iv) an increase in general and administrative expenses, including prepayments related to public company insurance, partially offset by lower cash used in our California operations. Additionally, 2020 benefitted from lower claims payments due to reduced utilization as a result of the impact of COVID-19.
Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the number of members on our platform, the timing of settlements with payors and the level of operating and general and administrative expenses necessary to operate and grow our business, among other factors.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $444.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $90.5 million and $22.1 million for the years ended and December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was due primarily to investments in marketable securities of $458.3 million during 2022. The increase in net cash used in investing activities in 2021 compared to 2020 was due primarily to $76.8 million, net in loans we provided to our physician partner groups in connection with taxes payable on shares distributed to them upon completion of the IPO under the partner physician group equity agreements and a $13.4 million increase in investments in property and equipment and intangible assets.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1.2 billion and $24.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received net proceeds of $33.1 million from the exercise of stock options. In February 2021, we refinanced our existing debt with a $100.0 million term loan, receiving net proceeds of $30.1 million. In April 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion upon the completion of our IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs. Upon completion of our IPO in April 2021, we repaid $50.0 million of the term loan as required under the terms of our credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we raised net proceeds of $34.4 million from private sales of our common stock, including stock option exercises, and repurchased $6.7 million of common stock.
Debt Obligations
On February 18, 2021, we executed a credit facility agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2021). The Credit Facilities include: (i) a $100.0 million senior secured term loan (the “2021 Secured Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2021
71
Table of Contents
Secured Revolving Facility”) with a capacity to issue standby letters of credit in certain circumstances up to a maximum of $80.0 million. Subject to specified conditions and receipt of commitments, the 2021 Secured Term Loan Facility may be expanded (or a new term loan facility, revolving credit facility or letter of credit facility added) by up to (i) $50.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount determined in accordance with a formula tied to repayment of certain of our indebtedness. The 2021 Secured Term Loan Facility requires, among other things, a mandatory prepayment of $50.0 million if gross proceeds from the IPO exceed $1.0 billion. On April 26, 2021, we repaid $50.0 million of the 2021 Secured Term Loan Facility. The maturity date of the Credit Facilities was extended to February 18, 2026.
At our option, borrowings under the Credit Facilities, as defined in the credit agreement, can be either: (i) LIBO Rate Loans or (ii) Base Rate Loans. LIBO Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 4.00% (stepping down to 3.50% on and following October 1, 2023) and the higher of (a) LIBO, as defined in the credit agreement, and (b) 0%. Base Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 3.00% (stepping down to 2.50% on and following October 1, 2023) and the highest of: (a) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (b) the prime rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (c) the one-month LIBO rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (d) 0%. Additionally, we pay a commitment fee on the unfunded 2021 Revolving Credit Facility amount of 0.50% (stepping down to 0.375% on and following October 1, 2023). We must also pay customary letter of credit fees.
The Credit Facilities contain customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments including: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our historical experience, known trends and events and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). Medical services revenue consists of capitation fees under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to monthly PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members attributed to our contracted physicians. PMPM fees are determined as a percent of the premium payors receive from CMS for these members. We generally accept full financial risk for members attributed to our contracted physicians, which means we are responsible for the cost of all healthcare services required by them. Contracts with payors are generally multi-year arrangements and have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series, as defined by ASC 606, to stand ready on a monthly basis to provide all aspects of necessary medical care to members for the contracted period. We recognize revenue in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare benefits during the contract term.
The transaction price for our MA capitation contracts is variable as the PMPM fees to which we are entitled are subject to periodic adjustment under CMS’s risk adjustment payment methodology. CMS deploys a risk adjustment model that determines premiums paid to all payors according to each member’s health status and certain demographic factors. Under this risk adjustment methodology, CMS calculates the risk adjusted premium payment using diagnosis data from various settings. We and our healthcare providers collect and submit the necessary and available diagnosis data to payors and we utilize such data to estimate risk adjustment payments to be received in subsequent periods. Risk adjustment-related revenues are estimated using the most likely amount methodology and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. PMPM fees are also subject to adjustment for incentives or penalties based on the achievement of certain quality metrics defined in our contracts with payors. We recognize incentive revenue as earned using the most likely amount methodology and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved.
The determination of these estimates is subject to significant judgment. If these assessments were to change, the timing and amount of our revenue recognized would be impacted, which may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Medical Services Expense and Related Payables
Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to members by physicians, hospitals and other ancillary providers for which we are financially responsible, and which are paid either directly by us or by payors with whom we have contracted. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties, but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed or paid.
73
Table of Contents
Such estimates are based on many variables, including utilization trends and historical and statistical lag analysis, among other factors. The assumptions for making such estimates and establishing liabilities are continually reviewed and updated, and any adjustments resulting therein are reflected in current period earnings. These estimates may differ from actual results, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The difference between the estimated liability and the related actual settlement of claims is recognized in the period the claims are settled.
If it is determined that our assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, our results of operations and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates may result in additional medical care expense or a reduction of medical care expense in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the considerable variability of healthcare costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and may be significant as compared to the net income (loss) recorded in that period.
The estimate of medical costs payable represents our best estimate of our liability for unpaid medical costs.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Amortizable intangible assets include health plan contracts, trade names, provider networks, developed software, physician rosters and noncompete enforcement agreements. Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of these assets. We consider the period of expected cash flows and related underlying data used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets (or the length of time for a noncompete agreement) when selecting a useful life.
Intangible assets are subject to impairment tests when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset, or related group of assets, may not be recoverable. In such circumstances, we compare the carrying value of an amortizable intangible asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset or asset group. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are calculated using the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.
The impairment tests are based on financial projections prepared by us that incorporate anticipated results from programs and initiatives being implemented. If projections are not met, or if negative trends occur that impact the outlook, the value of the intangible assets may be impaired.
Goodwill represents the acquired fair value of a business in excess of the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment annually and on an interim basis if an event occurs or if circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When testing goodwill for impairment, we may first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we perform the quantitative assessment. In the quantitative assessment, an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is determined primarily by an income approach, utilizing discounted cash flows and a market approach which considers comparable public companies and related transactions.
The determination of the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill involves significant judgment. This judgment is based on our analysis and estimates of fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, future operating results and resulting cash flows, and the period over which we will hold each asset. Our ability to accurately predict future operating results and resulting cash flows, and estimate fair values, impacts the timing and recognition of impairments. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized (i) on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards subject only to service-based vesting conditions or (ii) upon the achievement of the underlying performance condition for awards subject to such conditions. We
74
Table of Contents
determine the fair value of stock-based option awards subject to a service condition on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, unless the awards are also subject to a market condition, in which case we use a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Assumptions for volatility, expected option life and risk free interest rate are used in our models.
Certain of our arrangements provided for the vesting of share-based awards to third parties at the time of an initial public offering or sale of a controlling interest (“Change of Control Event”). Such share-based instruments granted to third parties are accounted for as non-employee awards for which compensation cost is recognized upon the achievement of the underlying performance condition of a Change of Control Event. As the instruments were liability-classified, the amount of shares ultimately issued and related compensation cost were measured at the vesting date in April 2021, as a Change of Control Event was not deemed probable until consummated. Upon our initial public offering, we recognized stock-based compensation cost relating to these share-based instruments of $268.5 million.

Overview and Key Developments
Our business is transforming healthcare by empowering the primary care physician (“PCP”) to be the agent for change in the communities they serve. We believe that PCPs, with their intimate patient-physician relationships, are best positioned to drive meaningful change in quality, cost, and patient experience when provided with the right infrastructure and payment model. Through our combination of the agilon platform, a long-term partnership model with existing physician groups and a growing network of like-minded physicians, we are poised to revolutionize healthcare for seniors across communities throughout the United States. Our purpose-built model provides the necessary capabilities, capital and business model for existing physician groups to create a Medicare-centric, globally capitated line of business. Our model operates by forming RBEs within local geographies, that enter into arrangements with payors providing for monthly payments to manage the total healthcare needs of our physician partners’ attributed patients (or, global capitation arrangements), contract with agilon to perform certain functions and enter into long-term professional service agreements with one or more anchor physician groups pursuant to which the anchor physician groups receive a base compensation rate and share in the savings from successfully improving quality of care and reducing costs.
Our business model is differentiated by its focus on existing community-based physician groups and is built around three key elements: (1) agilon’s platform; (2) agilon’s long-term physician partnership approach; and (3) agilon’s network. With our model, our goal is to remove the barriers that prevent community-based physicians from evolving to a Total Care Model, where the physician is empowered to manage health outcomes and the total healthcare needs of their attributed Medicare patients.
2021 Results:
•
Medicare Advantage members of approximately 186,300 as of December 31, 2021 increased 42% from 2020.
•
DCE attributed beneficiaries of approximately 51,700 as of December 31, 2021.
•
Total revenue of $1.83 billion increased 50% from 2020.
•
Net loss of $407 million, compared to $60 million in 2020. The year-over-year change reflects the impact of a $286 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense in 2021, substantially all of which relates to shares issued under partner physician group equity agreements in connection with our IPO in April 2021.

•
Medical Margin of $182 million, compared to $192 million in 2020. The year-over-year change in part reflects the impact of lower healthcare utilization in the prior year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
•
Adjusted EBITDA of negative $39 million, compared to positive $6 million in 2020.
Platform Membership Details
Medicare Advantage members increased 42% during 2021, which includes contributions from new geographies and growth within geographies existing prior to 2021. Total members live on the agilon platform include 186,300 Medicare Advantage members and 51,700 attributed Direct Contracting beneficiaries. Average Medicare Advantage membership during 2021 was approximately 181,800, an increase of 44% from 2020.
Direct Contracting
In collaboration with seven of our physician group partners, we launched five DCEs on April 1, 2021. The CMS Innovation Center created the Direct Contracting Model to allow a variety of DCEs to negotiate directly with the government to manage traditional Medicare beneficiaries and share in the savings and risks generated from managing the health services provided to such beneficiaries. As of December 31, 2021, the DCEs provided coordinated care for approximately 51,700 attributed beneficiaries covered under traditional Medicare.
On February 24, 2022, the CMS Innovation Center announced that it is redesigning the GPDC model and renaming it the Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (ACO REACH). The CMS Innovation Center concurrently introduced a Request for Applications (RFA) for a new cohort to begin the model on January 1, 2023, and it announced that all current GPDC model participants that meet ACO REACH requirements would be permitted to continue participating in the ACO REACH model as ACOs. The ACO REACH requirements outlined thus far include: 1) The development and implementation of a robust health equity plan to identify and better serve underserved communities; 2) the requirement that at least 75% control of each ACO's governing body be held by participating providers or their designated representatives (compared to 25% during the first two Performance Years of the GPDC model); and 3) the requirement that there be at least two beneficiary advocates on the governing board (at least one Medicare beneficiary and at least one consumer advocate), both of whom must hold voting rights. We do not anticipate that these new requirements will have a material impact on agilon’s current or future participation in this program, or inhibit our ability to continue and grow our participation in the model. In addition, The CMS Innovation Center announced that ACO REACH would include technical adjustments to the model’s parameters, including changes to benchmark calculations. The overall effect of these changes is not yet known.
Initial Public Offering and Debt Refinancing
On April 19, 2021, we completed the initial public offering ("IPO") of 53,590,000 shares of common stock at a price of $23.00 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $1.2 billion, after underwriting fees and other offering expenses. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Upon the completion of the IPO, we issued 11.7 million shares of common stock under partner physician group equity agreements and recognized stock-based compensation expense of $268.5 million in April 2021.
On February 18, 2021, we executed a new credit facility agreement. The Credit Facilities included an initial $100.0 million senior secured term loan and a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter and in connection with our IPO, we repaid $50.0 million of the senior secured term loan. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

California Operations
In February 2021, we completed the divesture of our California operations by selling the remaining disposal group for a gross sales price of $1.0 million. Our California operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the Company's investigative interrogatories from the California Department of Managed Health Care.
Secondary Public Offering
On September 14, 2021, the CD&R Investor and certain of our officers and directors completed a secondary offering of 19,550,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $30.00 per share. We did not receive any proceeds from the secondary offering.
COVID-19 Update
Since March 2020, we have implemented precautionary measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, physicians and members in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Because COVID-19 infections have been reported throughout the United States, certain national, provincial, state, and local governmental authorities have issued proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, more restrictive proclamations and/or directives may be issued in the future.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or we, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption. The ultimate impact of these matters to us and our financial condition cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and the ultimate impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows remains uncertain. During 2021, overall care activity continued to increase, including a mix of temporary deferral of care activity and COVID-19 related care costs. These costs may be incurred at future points in time, and it is possible that the deferral of healthcare services, or the impact of our members (who are seniors typically with chronic conditions) being diagnosed with COVID-19, could cause additional health problems in our existing members, which could increase costs in the future. In future periods, care patterns may moderately exceed normal baselines as previously deferred care is obtained and acuity temporarily rises due to missed regular care. From time to time, health system capacity may be subject to possible increased volatility due to the pandemic. We cannot accurately estimate the net ultimate impact, positive or negative, to medical services expense at this time.
Given the disruption caused by COVID-19, it is unclear whether our contracted physicians will be able to document the health conditions of our members as comprehensively as they did in historical periods. Because risk adjustment factors in the current period are based on the preceding year’s diagnosed disease conditions, our revenue in future periods may be adversely impacted.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics
All of our key metrics exclude historical results from our California operations (which are included as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements).
We monitor the following key financial and operating metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe the following key metrics are useful in evaluating our business (dollars in thousands):

Network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Medicare Advantage Members
Our MA members include all individuals enrolled in an MA plan that are attributed to the PCPs on our platform at the end of a given period.
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services.
Medical Margin
Medical margin represents the amount earned from medical services revenue after medical services expenses are 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 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. Furthermore, in light of COVID-19, we continue to evaluate the ultimate impact of the pandemic on medical margin.

Network Contribution
We define network contribution as medical services revenue less the sum of: (i) medical services expense and (ii) other medical expenses excluding costs incurred in implementing geographies. Other medical expenses consist of physician compensation expense related to surplus sharing and other direct medical expenses incurred to improve care for our members. We believe this metric provides insight into the economics of our Total Care Model, as it includes all medical services expense associated with our members’ care as well as partner compensation and additional medical costs we incur as part of our aligned partnership model. Other medical expenses are largely variable and proportionate to the level of surplus in each respective geography.

Excludes costs in geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, costs incurred in implementing geographies were $12.0 million, $8.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information regarding our use of network contribution and a reconciliation of income (loss) from operations to network contribution.
Platform Support Costs
Our platform support costs, which include regionally-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, are expected to decrease over time as a percentage of revenue as our physician partners add members and our revenue grows. Our operating expenses at the enterprise level include resources and technology to support payor contracting, clinical program development, quality, data management, finance and legal functions.

Adjusted EBITDA
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) geography entry costs, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) severance and related costs, and (viii) 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. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.
See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information regarding our use of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenues
Medical Services Revenue
Our medical services revenue consists of capitation revenue under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members through our contracted physician partners and affiliated PCPs. Such fees are typically based on a defined percentage of corresponding premium that payors receive from CMS. We recognize capitation revenue over the period eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare services.
Medical services revenue constitutes substantially all of our total revenue, accounting for nearly 100%, 100%, and 99% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
For additional discussion related to our revenue, see “—Critical Accounting Policies” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating Expenses
Medical Services Expense
In each of our geographies, a network of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers provide care to our members. Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to our members. Our medical services expense trends primarily relate to changes in per visit costs incurred by our members, along with changes in health system and provider utilization of services. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties, but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed or paid.
For additional discussion related to our medical services expense, see “—Critical Accounting Policies” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Medical Expenses
Other medical expenses include: (i) partner physician compensation expense and (ii) other provider costs. Partner physician compensation expense represents obligations to our physician partners corresponding to a portion of the surplus generated in our geographies, which is a function of medical services revenues less the sum of medical services expenses, other provider costs and market operating costs, for the respective geography. Physician payment obligations are reconciled quarterly, and settlement payments are typically issued to providers on an annual basis in arrears, with interim payments issued periodically. Other provider costs include payments to support physician-patient engagement, certain other medical costs, and other care management expenses that help to create medical cost efficiency. Other provider costs include costs incurred for geographies that are in implementation and are not yet generating revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of market-based support personnel and other operating costs to support our geographies, personnel and other operating costs to support our enterprise functions, and investments to support development and expansion of our physician partners. Our enterprise functions include salaries and related expenses, stock-based compensation (including shares issued under partner physician group equity agreements in connection with our IPO), operational support expenses, technology infrastructure, finance, legal, as well as other costs associated with the continued growth of our platform. For the purposes of calculating physician partner incentive expense, we allocate a portion of our enterprise general and administrative expenses to our geographies.
General and administrative expenses also include severance, management fees paid to our majority shareholder prior to our IPO and accruals for unasserted claims.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses are associated with our property and equipment and acquired intangible assets. Depreciation includes expenses associated with buildings, computer and network equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Amortization primarily includes expenses associated with acquired intangible assets.
Other Income (Expense)
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net includes the following items:
•
Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures; and
•
Interest income, which consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our outstanding debt, including amortization of debt issuance costs.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
We are subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, and local income taxation. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management believes it is not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management makes estimates and judgments about future taxable income based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates.
Total Discontinued Operations
Total discontinued operations consist of the results of our California operations, which include the entirety of our Medicaid line of business. For certain of our California divestiture transactions, we continue to be responsible for any liabilities arising from the business that were incurred prior to the closing date of such transaction, including any fines, penalties, and other sanctions relating to the DMHC matter, the payment of claims for medical services incurred prior to the effective date of each transaction, a liability for unrecognized tax benefits for which we are indemnified, and other contingent liabilities that we currently believe are remote. For additional discussion, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

General and administrative expenses increased $318.5 million, or 232%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020. About 90% of the year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to a $285.9 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, substantially all of which relates to shares issued under partner physician group equity agreements in connection with our IPO in April 2021 and the satisfaction of a performance condition associated with certain employee stock options in the third quarter of 2021.
Platform support costs, which are operating costs to support our live geographies and enterprise functions, increased by $23.5 million to $123.5 million in 2021 compared to $100.0 million in 2020 due primarily to growth in operating costs incurred to support geographies that became operational in 2021, along with additional costs related to our operations as a public company. Platform support costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to 7% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 8% for the same period in 2020. Investments to support geography entry increased to $20.6 million in 2021, compared to $17.9 million in 2020 due to increased costs associated with our geographies that become operational in the following calendar year.
In aggregate, (i) costs incurred for severance, which include taxes and related costs on stock option exercises for departed executives, (ii) fees paid to our majority shareholder, and (iii) accruals for unasserted claims and contingent liabilities increased to $19.3 million in 2021, compared to $12.9 million in 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we present network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures.
We define network contribution as medical services revenue less the sum of: (i) medical services expense and (ii) other medical expenses excluding costs incurred in implementing geographies. Other medical expenses consist of physician compensation expense related to surplus sharing and other direct medical expenses incurred to improve care for our members. We believe this metric provides insight into the economics of our Total Care Model as it includes all medical services expense associated with our members’ care as well as partner incentive and additional medical costs we incur as part of our aligned partnership model. Other medical expenses are largely variable and proportionate to the level of surplus in each respective geography.
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) geography entry costs, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) severance and related costs, and (viii) 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.
Income (loss) from operations is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to network contribution. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.
We believe network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in our business and facilitate evaluation of period-to-period operating performance of our live geographies 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 network contribution 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 network contribution 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 network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently from the way we calculate these metrics. As a result, our presentation of network contribution and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded therefrom are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income (loss), cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Some of these limitations are:
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay taxes;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•
Although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily through funds generated from our capitation arrangements with payors, issuances of equity securities, and borrowings under credit agreements. We generally invest any excess cash in money market accounts, which are classified as cash equivalents. Our investment strategies are designed to provide safety and preservation of capital, sufficient liquidity to meet the cash flow needs of our business operations and attainment of a competitive return.
As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion.
On April 19, 2021, we completed the initial public offering of 53,590,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $23.00. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $1.2 billion, after underwriting fees and other offering expenses.
We expect to continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future due to the investments we intend to continue to make in expanding our business and additional general and administrative costs we expect to incur related to our operation as a public company. As a result, we may require additional capital resources in the future to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business.
Our primary uses of cash include payments for medical claims and other medical expenses, general and administrative expenses, costs associated with the development of new geographies and expansion of existing geographies, debt service and capital expenditures. Final reconciliation and receipt of amounts due from payors are typically settled in arrears, following completion of the contractual program year.
Based on our planned operations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, as well as available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facilities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months, though we may require additional capital resources in the future. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
We may require additional financing in the future to fund working capital and pay our obligations. We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings and/or debt financings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund our operations or on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to significantly reduce operating expenses, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
Our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock is significantly limited as a practical matter by our growth plans as well as the Credit Facilities insofar as we may seek to pay dividends out of funds made available to us by agilon management or its subsidiaries because the Credit Facilities restrict agilon management’s ability to pay dividends or make loans to us. The borrower on the Credit Facilities is agilon management, our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Credit Facilities are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, including those identified as VIEs, and contain customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments such as: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $148.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $53.2 million and $103.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in net cash used in operating activities in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily a result of: (i) the transition of claims payment services back to the health plan for one of our capitation contracts effective January 1, 2021, (ii) higher geography entry costs, (iii) accelerated timing of claims payments in certain markets, and (iv) an increase in general and administrative expenses, including prepayments related to public company insurance, partially offset by lower cash used in our California operations. Additionally, 2020 benefitted from lower claims payments due to reduced utilization as a result of the impact of COVID-19. The improvement in net cash used in operating activities in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily a result of an increase in medical margin, partially offset by higher physician compensation payments.
Our cash flow from operations is dependent upon the number of members on our platform, the timing of settlements with payors and the level of operating and general and administrative expenses necessary to operate and grow our business, among other factors.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $90.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $22.1 million for the year ended and December 31, 2020 and net cash used in investing activities of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in net cash used in investing activities in 2021 compared to 2020 was due primarily to $76.8 million, net in loans we provided to our physician partner groups in connection with taxes payable on shares distributed to them upon completion of the IPO under the partner physician group equity agreements and a $13.4 million increase in investments in property and equipment and intangible assets. The increase in net cash from investing activities in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily a result of proceeds received of: (i) $26.2 million from the disposition of our Southern California and Fresno operations; and (ii) $2.0 million from the partial repayment of a loan receivable.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $24.6 million and $176.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In February 2021, we refinanced our existing debt with a $100.0 million term loan, receiving net proceeds of $30.1 million. In April 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion upon the completion of our IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs. Upon completion of our IPO in April 2021, we repaid $50.0 million of the term loan as required under the terms of our credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we raised net proceeds of $33.6 million from private sales of our common stock and repurchased $6.7 million of common stock. The decline in net cash provided by financing activities in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily a result of higher capital raised from private sales of our common stock in 2019 compared to 2020, as well as the repurchase of common stock in 2020.
Debt Obligations
On February 18, 2021, we executed a credit facility agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2021). The Credit Facilities include: (i) a $100.0 million senior secured term loan (the “2021 Secured Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Secured Revolving Facility”) with a capacity to issue standby letters of credit in certain circumstances up to a maximum of $80.0 million. Subject to specified conditions and receipt of commitments, the 2021 Secured Term Loan Facility may be expanded (or a new term loan facility, revolving credit facility or letter of credit facility added) by up to (i) $50.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount determined in accordance with a formula tied to repayment of certain of our indebtedness. The 2021 Secured Term Loan Facility requires, among other things, a mandatory prepayment of $50.0 million if gross proceeds from the IPO exceed $1.0 billion. On April 26, 2021, we repaid $50.0 million of the 2021 Secured Term Loan Facility. The maturity date of the Credit Facilities was extended to February 18, 2026, with mandatory periodic payments.
The proceeds from the 2021 Secured Term Loan Facility were used to refinance our outstanding indebtedness under the prior term loan and unsecured debt, with the remaining $30.1 million used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
At our option, borrowings under the Credit Facilities, as defined in the credit agreement, can be either: (i) LIBO Rate Loans or (ii) Base Rate Loans. LIBO Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 4.00% (stepping down to 3.50% on and following October 1, 2023) and the higher of (a) LIBO, as defined in the credit agreement, and (b) 0%. Base Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of 3.00% (stepping down to 2.50% on and following October 1, 2023) and the highest of: (a) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (b) the prime rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (c) the one-month LIBO rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (d) 0%. Additionally, we pay a commitment fee on the unfunded 2021 Revolving Credit Facility amount of 0.50% (stepping down to 0.375% on and following October 1, 2023). We must also pay customary letter of credit fees.
The Credit Facilities contain customary covenants including, among other things, limitations on restricted payments including: (i) dividends and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (ii) requirements of minimum financial ratios, and (iii) limitation on additional borrowings based on certain financial ratios.

Equity
As of December 31, 2021, we had 400.1 million shares of common stock outstanding. On April 19, 2021, we completed the initial public offering of 53,590,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $23.00. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $1.2 billion, after underwriting fees and other offering expenses. On September 14, 2021, the CD&R Investor and certain of our officers and directors completed a secondary offering of 19,550,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $30.00 per share. We did not receive any proceeds from the secondary offering. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our equity transactions.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our historical experience, known trends and events and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), which we adopted as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on our revenue recognition, as revenue from our contracts with customers continues to be recognized over time as services are rendered, and therefore, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded. Medical services revenue consists of capitation fees under contracts with various payors. Under the typical capitation arrangement, we are entitled to monthly PMPM fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for MA health plan members attributed to our contracted physicians. PMPM fees are determined as a percent of the premium payors receive from CMS for these members. We generally accept full financial risk for members attributed to our contracted physicians, which means we are responsible for the cost of all healthcare services required by them. Contracts with payors are generally multi-year arrangements and have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series, as defined by ASC 606, to stand ready on a monthly basis to provide all aspects of necessary medical care to members for the contracted period. We recognize revenue in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare benefits during the contract term.
The transaction price for our MA capitation contracts is variable as the PMPM fees to which we are entitled are subject to periodic adjustment under CMS’s risk adjustment payment methodology. CMS deploys a risk adjustment model that determines premiums paid to all payors according to each member’s health status and certain demographic factors. Under this risk adjustment methodology, CMS calculates the risk adjusted premium payment using diagnosis data from various settings. We and our healthcare providers collect and submit the necessary and available diagnosis data to payors and we utilize such data to estimate risk adjustment payments to be received in subsequent periods. Risk adjustment-related revenues are estimated using the most likely amount methodology and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. PMPM fees are also subject to adjustment for incentives or penalties based on the achievement of certain quality metrics defined in our contracts with payors. We recognize incentive revenue as earned using the most likely amount methodology and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved.
The determination of these estimates is subject to significant judgment. If these assessments were to change, the timing and amount of our revenue recognized would be impacted, which may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Medical Services Expense and Related Payables
Medical services expense represents costs incurred for medical services provided to members by physicians, hospitals and other ancillary providers for which we are financially responsible, and which are paid either directly by us or by payors with whom we have contracted. Medical services expenses are recognized in the period in which services are provided and include estimates of our obligations for medical services that have been rendered by third parties, but for which claims have either not yet been received, processed or paid.
Such estimates are based on many variables, including utilization trends and historical and statistical lag analysis, among other factors. The assumptions for making such estimates and establishing liabilities are continually reviewed and updated, and any adjustments resulting therein are reflected in current period earnings. These estimates may differ from actual results, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The difference between the estimated liability and the related actual settlement of claims is recognized in the period the claims are settled.
If it is determined that our assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, our results of operations and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates may result in additional medical care expense or a reduction of medical care expense in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the considerable variability of healthcare costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and may be significant as compared to the net income (loss) recorded in that period.
The estimate of medical costs payable represents our best estimate of our liability for unpaid medical costs.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Amortizable intangible assets include health plan contracts, trade names, provider networks, developed software, physician rosters and noncompete enforcement agreements. Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of these assets. We consider the period of expected cash flows and related underlying data used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets (or the length of time for a noncompete agreement) when selecting a useful life.
Intangible assets are subject to impairment tests when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset, or related group of assets, may not be recoverable. In such circumstances, we compare the carrying value of an amortizable intangible asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset or asset group. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are calculated using the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.
The impairment tests are based on financial projections prepared by us that incorporate anticipated results from programs and initiatives being implemented. If projections are not met, or if negative trends occur that impact the outlook, the value of the intangible assets may be impaired.
Goodwill represents the acquired fair value of a business in excess of the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment annually and on an interim basis if an event occurs or if circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When testing goodwill for impairment, we may first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we perform the quantitative assessment. In the quantitative assessment, an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is determined primarily by an income approach, utilizing discounted cash flows and a market approach which considers comparable public companies and related transactions.
Due to the continued deterioration in the performance of our reporting unit, in the fourth quarter of 2019, we initiated a process to evaluate strategic alternatives for our California operations, including a sale or abandonment of all or substantially all of such operations. We therefore performed an assessment of the long-lived assets in the California reporting unit for impairment and determined that the carrying value of certain of those assets was not recoverable. Accordingly, we wrote-down such assets to fair value, resulting in the recognition of a $98.3 million impairment charge in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our California operations, including the impairment charge, are presented as discontinued operations.
The determination of the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill involves significant judgment. This judgment is based on our analysis and estimates of fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, future operating results and resulting cash flows, and the period over which we will hold each asset. Our ability to accurately predict future operating results and resulting cash flows, and estimate fair values, impacts the timing and recognition of impairments. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized (i) on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards subject only to service-based vesting conditions or (ii) upon the achievement of the underlying performance condition for awards subject to such conditions. We determine the fair value of stock-based option awards subject to a service condition on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, unless the awards are also subject to a market condition, in which case we use a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Assumptions for volatility, expected option life and risk free interest rate are used in our models.
Certain of our arrangements provided for the vesting of share-based awards to third parties at the time of an initial public offering or sale of a controlling interest (“Change of Control Event”). Such share-based instruments granted to third parties are accounted for as non-employee awards for which compensation cost is recognized upon

the achievement of the underlying performance condition of a Change of Control Event. As the instruments were liability-classified, the amount of shares ultimately issued and related compensation cost were measured at the vesting date in April 2021, as a Change of Control Event was not deemed probable until consummated. Upon our initial public offering, we recognized stock-based compensation cost relating to these share-based instruments of $268.5 million.
