Guidance:
ApolloMed is providing the following guidance for total revenue, net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and EPS - diluted. The net income and EBITDA guidance ranges below include the impact of the excluded assets held by Allied Physicians of California, a Professional Medical Corporation's ("APC"), which are solely for the benefit of APC and its shareholders. Any gains or losses associated with these excluded assets do not have an impact on Adjusted EBITDA and EPS - diluted. These guidance assumptions are based on the Company's existing business, current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Management Commentary:
Brandon Sim, Co-Chief Executive Officer of ApolloMed, stated, "In 2022, we continued to position our Company for long-term growth while remaining focused on our mission of empowering physicians in the successful delivery of value-based care and driving superior outcomes for their patients. We were pleased with the strong financial and operational results our team achieved during 2022, including 48% growth on the top line and 5% growth in Adjusted EBITDA to $140.0 million, a margin of 12.2%. This was a result of strong organic membership growth in our core risk-bearing provider groups, favorable trends in membership mix, and participation in a value-based care model for the Medicare fee-for-service population.
"The investments made during 2022 position us for strong growth as we continue to execute against our operating priorities: scaling our care delivery model across core and new geographies, effectively taking on additional risk in our value-based contracts, and delivering industry-leading patient outcomes through our care delivery network and value-based care enablement platform.
"I would like to thank our team of over 1,300 employees for their dedication to ApolloMed's mission. We remain committed to empowering our providers, which will accelerate us towards a future where all Americans have access to high-quality, value-based and evidence-driven healthcare."
GAAP Financial Review for the Year Ended December 31, 2022:
- Total revenue of $1.14 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 48%, compared to $773.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to (i) an overall increase of $336.9 million in capitation revenue primarily driven by organic membership growth in ApolloMed's consolidated IPAs and participation in a value-based Medicare fee-for-service model, and (ii) an increase of $23.0 million in fee-for-service revenue from ApolloMed primary, multi-specialty, and ancillary care delivery entities.
- Capitation revenue, net, of $930.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 57%, compared to $593.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Capitation revenue represented 81% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.
- Net income of $50.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 3%, compared to $49.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
- Net income attributable to ApolloMed of $49.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $73.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
- EPS - diluted of $1.08 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1.63 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
GAAP Financial Review for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2022:
- Total revenue of $294.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 51%, compared to $195.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. This was primarily driven by organic membership growth in ApolloMed's consolidated IPAs and participation in a value-based Medicare fee-for-service model.
- Capitation revenue, net, of $252.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 63%, compared to $154.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Capitation revenue represented 86% of total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
- Net income of $0.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to net loss of $19.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, which was primarily a result of significantly lower unrealized losses in fair value of a payer partner's shares held as marketable securities and other investments of $2.8 million, which compares to $33.0 million in unrealized losses as a result of a 1-to-3 conversion of a payer partner's preferred shares to common stock in the prior-year period. These payer partner shares are deemed "Excluded Assets" that are solely for the benefit of APC and its shareholders and do not impact net income attributable to ApolloMed.
- Net loss attributable to ApolloMed of $2.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to net income attributable to ApolloMed of $13.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The loss was primarily a result of a $13.1 million increase in income tax expense compared to the prior-year period.
Non-GAAP Financial Review for the Year Ended December 31, 2022:
- EBITDA of $110.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 11%, compared to $99.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $140.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 5%, compared to $133.5 million for year ended December 31, 2021.

Note About Consolidated Entities
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests represent third party equity ownership interests in the Company's consolidated entities (including certain VIEs). The amount of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is disclosed in the Company's consolidated statements of income.
Note About Stockholders' Equity, Certain Treasury Stock and Earnings Per Share
As of December 31, 2022, 140,954 holdback shares had not been issued to certain former shareholders of the Company's subsidiary, Network Medical Management, Inc. ("NMM"), who were NMM shareholders at the time of closing of the merger, as they have yet to submit properly completed letters of transmittal to ApolloMed in order to receive their pro rata portion of ApolloMed's common stock and warrants as contemplated under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 21, 2016, among ApolloMed, NMM, Apollo Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Subsidiary") and Kenneth Sim, M.D., as amended, pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary merged with and into NMM, with NMM as the surviving corporation. Pending such receipt, such former NMM shareholders have the right to receive, without interest, their pro rata share of dividends or distributions with a record date after the effectiveness of the merger. The Company's consolidated financial statements have treated such shares of common stock as outstanding, given the receipt of the letter of transmittal is considered perfunctory and ApolloMed is legally obligated to issue these shares in connection with the merger.
Shares of ApolloMed's common stock owned by APC, a VIE of the Company, are legally issued and outstanding but excluded from shares of common stock outstanding in the Company's consolidated financial statements, as such shares are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes. Such shares, therefore, are not included in the number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate the Company's earnings per share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, of which the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") is net income. These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives to GAAP, and may be different from other non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure of our operations, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, excluding income or loss from equity method investments, non-recurring and non-cash transactions, stock-based compensation, and APC excluded assets costs. Beginning in the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company has revised the calculation for Adjusted EBITDA to exclude provider bonus payments and losses from recently acquired IPAs, which it believes to be more reflective of its business.
The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with relevant and useful information, as it allows investors to evaluate the operating performance of the business activities without having to account for differences recognized because of non-core or non-recurring financial information. When GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among those indicators the Company uses as a basis for evaluating operational performance, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures.
