Continued Progress on Performance Action Plan

agilon health is making tangible progress against its targeted action plan to improve performance. This plan includes refining payor relationships, increasing engagement among PCPs to reduce variability, improving data visibility and analytics, and accelerating operating efficiency.

agilon health continues to make progress on obtaining favorable health plan agreements across markets and payer types. The company continues to deploy structured training and local medical director engagement with PCPs. In the second quarter, this activity covered 20 markets and ~75% of PCPs in the model. agilon achieved its target of onboarding ~75% of member data into the company's financial data pipeline and expects to onboard the remaining balance through the second half of 2024. The company continues to focus on improving operating expense efficiency; platform support costs accounted for 2.8% of revenue in the second quarter, compared to the company's 3% target for 2024.

Capital Position and Balance Sheet:

agilon health's balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 included cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $408 million and total debt of $36 million. At the end of the quarter agilon health had $104 million of cash associated with the company's unconsolidated ACO model entities.

The company has not reconciled guidance for medical margin to gross profit or adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measures, and has not provided forward-looking guidance for net income (loss) in each case because of the uncertainty around certain items that may impact gross profit or net income (loss), including non-cash stock-based compensation.
