Babylon Reports Another Strong Year Exceeding Guidance, and Accelerates Expected Adjusted EBITDA Profitability to Mid-2024

• Revenue grew 3.5x YoY, to $1.11 billion, exceeding guidance
• Cost of Care Delivery (COCD) Margin in the U.K. already profitable¹, with U.S. Clinical services also expecting COCD profitability in early 2023
• Key U.S. VBC contracts delivered profitable Medical Margins² in their first year
• Monthly Adjusted EBITDA of $(16.3) million for Q4 2022 beating guidance of $(18) million
• Adjusted EBITDA profitability expected in mid-2024, significantly earlier than previous guidance
• Commercial VBC revenue substantially increased with recent launch of Ambetter digital-first service across 6 states

Babylon Holdings Limited (NYSE:BBLN) ("Babylon" or the "Company") today announced its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

In 2022, Babylon's revenue grew 3.5x to $1.11 billion, exceeding guidance. The Company's most mature business, UK clinical services, achieved COCD profitability in 2022, and its U.S. clinical services business is expecting the same early this year. Babylon's U.S. value-based care ("VBC") business delivered profitable Medical Margins in its key contracts, even though they are predominantly still in their first year. Babylon's rate of engagement of VBC members continues to accelerate, with the latest cohort of members showing 8x faster engagement than the earliest cohorts. This is important as for instance in the Iowa cohort which went live in January 2022, the Company saw a 5% reduction in cost of care for engaged members compared to a 7% general increase in cost of care for non-engaged members. The Company grew its U.S. VBC members by 1.6x YoY, with an emphasis on shifting the membership mix. To this end, it has added just over 34,000 new commercial VBC members since January 2023, and expects that number to grow substantially this year.

Net loss Margin in 2022 improved YoY to 20.0% from 26.0%. Babylon has successfully implemented nearly $125 million in annualized cost reductions, with most of the planned actions to achieve Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA improvements for 2023 already executed. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue has fallen by 52ppt to (16.9)% QoQ. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to fall from $(274.5) million in 2022 to the range of $(120) million and $(100) million in 2023. Babylon now expects to achieve Adjusted EBITDA profitability in mid-2024, significantly ahead of previous guidance.

"While most solutions are siloed, clinic centric and therefore unscalable, Babylon is purpose-building a digital-first platform to deliver integrated healthcare at scale. Although these are early days for us, our results are beginning to speak for themselves," said Ali Parsa, CEO and Founder of Babylon. "In 2022, we grew our revenue by 3.5 fold and achieved COCD or Medical Margin profitability improvements across our business lines. Our U.K. business already delivers profitable COCD margins and we expect the same in early 2023 for our U.S. Clinical Services business. Our key value-based care (VBC) cohorts showed profitable Medical Margins even in their first year, while for most companies profitability of each cohort normally takes a few years. Further, with each new contract, we have demonstrated our ability to accelerate the engagement of high-risk members and therefore expect to see continuous improvement of our performance. The cumulative result of all of this is that we now expect Adjusted EBITDA profitability in mid-2024, significantly ahead of previous guidance."

David Humphreys, Chief Financial Officer, added, "Babylon once again delivered high revenue growth and strong financial performance to beat revenue expectations and previously guided Adjusted EBITDA estimates. We continue to shift revenue mix away from Medicaid members with a focus on expanding Commercial populations and have demonstrated great capital discipline, successfully executing nearly $125 million in annualized cost reductions. The result is a significantly improved profitability outlook and Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $(120) million to $(100) million for 2023."

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Comparison of the following financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021:

• Total revenue was $289.0 million compared to $117.6 million, a 2.5x year-over-year increase of $171.4 million. This was primarily due to the growth in VBC revenue, which increased by 177% year-over-year to $267.9 million in Q4 2022.
• Net loss totaled $100.1 million, a 34.6% Net loss margin compared to Net income of $67.4 million, a 57.3% Net income margin in Q4 2021. Net income in Q4 2021 included a $239.2 million gain primarily relating to the Company going public.
• Adjusted EBITDA totaled $(48.9) million, a (16.9)% Adjusted EBITDA Margin, compared to $(80.6) million Adjusted EBITDA, or (68.5)% Adjusted EBITDA Margin, in Q4 2021. This was driven by successful execution of cost reduction actions expected to deliver approximately $125 million in annualized cost reductions.

• Total revenue was $1.11 billion, compared to $320.8 million in 2021, reflecting an increase of 245.9%. This growth was driven by organic U.S. VBC membership increases.

Financial Guidance and Other Important Information

Assuming the sale of its IPA Business, Babylon is providing revenue guidance of more than $1.1 billion and Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $(120) million to $(100) million for FY23.

Babylon targets reaching profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis by mid-2024.

In October 2022, Babylon announced plans to sell Meritage Medical Network (the "IPA Business") in California to fund the Company through to profitability. During the sale process, Babylon has been approached by potential investors who have suggested other strategic alternatives, some of which would include retaining the IPA Business. As a result, Babylon has extended its existing lending arrangement with AlbaCore through a working capital facility of up to $30 million. The purpose of the working capital facility is to provide Babylon with funding for a period of time that allows execution of binding bids relating to a successful sale of the IPA Business or other strategic alternatives to fund Babylon. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 was $104.5 million, including $61.0 million classified as held for sale. There is no assurance that the facility will provide sufficient funding for a time period that allows us to complete a successful sale of our IPA Business or other strategic alternatives. Therefore, additional funding may be required.

The financial guidance and other statements above are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe harbor below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Babylon is unable to reconcile projected Adjusted EBITDA loss for 2023 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as we are not able to forecast Net loss on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect Net loss, including, but not limited to, impairment expense, stock-based compensation, foreign exchange gains or losses, restructuring and other termination benefits, gains or losses from settlement of warrants, gains or losses on fair value remeasurement, income or expense from premium deficiency reserves and gains or losses on sale of subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net loss, as the difference between the two measures is variable and may be significant.

Additional Notes

On January 1, 2023, the Company ceased filing reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as a foreign private issuer, and began complying with the SEC reporting requirements for a domestic issuer. Therefore, Babylon's Q4 and 2022 year-end results are reported under U.S. GAAP. The Company's full-year 2022 audited financial statements, prepared under U.S. GAAP, will be filed in an Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Medical Loss Ratio, Medical Margin and Cost of Care Delivery Margin are non-GAAP measures. An explanation of non-GAAP measures, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure, Net loss, and the calculations of Net loss Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Medical Loss Ratio, Medical Margin and Cost of Care Delivery Margins have been provided at the end of this press release.

About Babylon

At Babylon, our mission is to make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for every person on Earth. To this end we are building an integrated digital first primary care service that can manage population health at scale.

Founded in 2013, we are reengineering how people engage with their care at every step of the healthcare continuum. By flipping the model from reactive sick care to proactive healthcare through the devices people already own, we offer millions of people globally, ongoing, always-on care. And, we have already shown that in environments as diverse as the developed UK or developing Rwanda, urban New York or rural Missouri, for people of all ages, it is possible to achieve our mission by leveraging our highly scalable, digital-first platform combined with high quality, virtual clinical operations to provide integrated, personalized healthcare.

Today, we support a global patient network across 15 countries, and operate in 16 languages. In 2021 alone, Babylon helped a patient every 6 seconds, with approximately 5.2 million consultations and AI interactions. Importantly, this was achieved with a 93% user retention rate in our NHS GP at Hand service and 4 or 5-star ratings from more than 90% of our users across all of our geographies. We are working to demonstrate how our model of digital first integrated primary care can be applied to manage the health of the population in different settings across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial value based care contracts in the US and our primary care services in the UK.

Babylon is also working with governments, health providers, employers and insurers across the globe to provide them with a new digital-first platform that any partner can use to deliver high-quality healthcare with lower costs and better outcomes.

EBITDA is defined as Net (loss) income, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, net interest income (expense), and income taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net (loss) income, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, net interest income (expense), income taxes, impairment expenses, stock-based compensation, foreign exchange gains (losses), restructuring and other termination benefits, losses on settlement of warrants, gains (losses) on fair value remeasurement, premium deficiency reserve (income) expenses and gains (losses) on sale of subsidiaries. We define Medical Loss Ratio as the absolute value of claims expense divided by Value-based care revenue. We define Medical Margin as one minus the Medical Loss Ratio. We define Medical Loss Ratio as the absolute value of claims expense divided by Value-based care revenue. We define Medical Margin as one minus the Medical loss ratio. We define Cost of Care Delivery Margin as one minus the absolute value of claims expense and clinical care delivery expense divided by total revenue. Medical Loss Ratio, Medical Margins and Cost of Care Delivery Margins are derived from amounts presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and the associated Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Medical Loss Ratio, Medical Margin and Cost of Care Delivery Margin (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are useful metrics for investors to understand and evaluate our operating results and ongoing profitability because they permit investors to evaluate our recurring profitability from our ongoing operating activities.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Medical Loss Ratio, Medical Margin and Cost of Care Delivery Margin have certain limitations, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of any of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because some issuers calculate certain of the Non-GAAP Measures differently or not at all, limiting their usefulness as direct comparative measures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of specific GAAP measures to the Non-GAAP Measures used by management. These include EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, Net (loss) income, and the calculations of Net (loss) income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Medical Loss Ratio, Medical Margin and Cost of Care Delivery Margin for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:
