Management Commentary:
Kenneth Sim, M.D., Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of ApolloMed, stated, "As the pandemic continues to have an impact on much of the world, our team at ApolloMed, from the front line workers to the support staff behind the scenes, remains committed to providing our member population with the quality care they have come to expect from our organization, and we are pleased to be doing our part in expediting the COVID-19 vaccination process in the geographic areas we serve. Despite the unprecedented circumstances of 2020, ApolloMed achieved record top and bottom line growth as a result of our NGACO's phenomenal performance in 2019 and our acquisitions of Alpha Care Medical Group and Accountable Health Care IPA, a Professional Medical Corporation, in 2019. We also benefited from a trend of decreased utilization as the pandemic encouraged members to seek only essential or urgent care and from increased operational efficiencies as a direct result of our proprietary technologies."
Dr. Sim continued, "Subsequent to year-end, we announced a strategic investment and alliance with CAIPA MSO in New York that we are very excited about. This partnership represents ApolloMed's entry into the New York market and the first phase of our nationwide expansion plan. Our leadership team has been focused on profitably operating a value-based care model in the state of California for more than two decades. We believe we are well positioned with our technology-powered platform to execute on the growth opportunities we see within the space as we seek to replicate the success of our business model across the country with a goal of nearly doubling the number of managed lives by the end of 2021. In that regard, we are pleased to provide guidance for 2021 but want to note that these estimates do not account for any potential acquisitions or other major business transactions we may complete over the course of this year. As new developments that may impact guidance materialize, we are committed to remaining open and transparent and will re-evaluate and communicate any changes in guidance as appropriate."
GAAP Financial Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2020:
- Total revenue of
$687.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of23% , compared to$560.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to (i) a shared savings settlement of$19.8 million earned from ApolloMed's participation in an attribution-based risk sharing model through its NGACO, (ii) the acquisitions of Alpha Care Medical Group and Accountable Health Care IPA in 2019, which contributed an additional$52.4 million and$29.0 million in capitation revenue, respectively, and (iii) organic revenue growth at Allied Physicians of California IPA ("APC"), one of ApolloMed's affiliated IPAs.
- Capitation revenue, net, of
$557.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of23% , compared to$454.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Capitation revenue represented81% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020.
- Risk pool settlements and incentives revenue of
$77.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of51% , compared to$51.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was primarily the result of the aforementioned$19.8 million shared savings settlement.

$122.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from$17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase from the prior year of$99.8 million was primarily due to the gain on sale of equity method investment in Universal Care, Inc.
- Net income attributable to ApolloMed increased to
$37.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from$14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in preferred dividends ApolloMed received from APC as a result of an increase in APC's earnings in 2020.

- Capitation revenue, net, of
$140.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, compared to$148.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

- Risk pool settlements and incentives revenue of
$23.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, an increase of25% , compared to$18.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

- EPS - diluted increased to
$0.27 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, from$0.18 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

- Adjusted EBITDA increased to
$35.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, from$20.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

Note About Stockholders' Equity, Certain Treasury Stock and Earnings Per Share
As of December 31, 2020, 276,038 holdback shares have 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.

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 from equity method investments, provider bonuses, impairment of intangibles, provision for doubtful accounts and other income earned that are not related to the Company's normal operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effect on EBITDA of certain IPAs we recently acquired.
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. To the extent this release contains historical or future non-GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided corresponding GAAP financial measures for comparative purposes. The reconciliation between certain GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided above.
