Revenue increased 28% to $1.45 billion, Medicare Advantage membership increased 37% to 525,000, and total members on the agilon platform grew 39% to 657,000
Third quarter results were affected by lower-than-expected 2024 risk adjustment, negative prior year development mainly from risk adjustment and Part D, and higher current year medical expenses
Adjusted full year guidance reflects Q3 results and updated Q4 cost trends
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
agilon health, inc. (NYSE: AGL), the trusted partner empowering physicians to transform health care in our communities, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“Our full-risk model enables primary care physicians to deliver high-quality care to their senior patients. Our Q3 results show that our membership is growing across our 26 partnerships, and it also highlights why we are taking necessary actions to strengthen execution within our platform and proactively manage the challenging Medicare Advantage environment,” said Steve Sell, chief executive officer. “Against that backdrop, we have initiated steps with select partners to exit two unprofitable partnerships and other payor contracts by the end of 2024. While the overall Medicare Advantage environment will eventually realign, it is important that we take these actions in the interim to strengthen the run-rate for our business into 2025 and better position our platform and network for long-term success.”
Third Quarter 2024 Results:
-
Compared to previous guidance, third quarter 2024 gross profit and medical margin was negatively impacted as a result of additional information received from payors in the third quarter. This included prior year development of $60 million primarily related to risk adjustment revenue and Part D medical expense; a reduction of estimated 2024 risk adjustment of $65 million; and higher current year medical expense of $25 million primarily in the third quarter.
-
Total members on the agilon platform increased to 657,000 as of September 30, 2024, comprising 525,000 Medicare Advantage members and 132,000 ACO model beneficiaries. Medicare Advantage membership increased 37% year-over-year, with 4.8% growth in same-partner geographies.
-
Total revenue of $1.45 billion in the third quarter 2024 increased 28% compared to $1.14 billion in the third quarter 2023. Year-over-year total revenue growth was primarily driven by membership growth in new markets and same geography growth.
-
Gross profit was negative $64 million in the third quarter 2024 compared to positive $37 million in the third quarter 2023. Net loss was $118 million in the third quarter 2024 compared to a net loss of $31 million in the third quarter 2023. The year-over-year reduction in gross profit and higher net losses resulted from the factors discussed above.
-
Medical margin was negative $58 million during the third quarter 2024, compared to $111 million for the same period 2023. The $169 million year-over-year medical margin reduction also resulted from the factors mentioned above.
-
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $96 million in the third quarter 2024 compared to positive $6 million for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year change is attributable to the factors discussed above.

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.

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.

Certain of our operations are not consolidated for the period presented because we do not have the ability to control certain activities due to another party’s control of the entities’ board of directors. Although revenues of the unconsolidated operations are not recorded as revenues by us, income (loss) from equity method investments is nonetheless a significant portion of our overall earnings. See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2024 for additional discussion on our equity method investments.
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with 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 per member per month (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 GAAP measure to Medical Margin. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable 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.
