This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any statements about our business, financial condition, operating results, plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions, any projections of earnings, revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, or other financial items, such as our projected capitation from CMS, our forward-looking guidance and our future liquidity; any statements of any plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations, such as the material opportunities that we believe exist for our Company; any statements concerning proposed services, developments, mergers, or acquisitions; any statements with respect to dividends or stock repurchases and timing, methods, and payment of same; any statements regarding the outlook on the GPDC Model, ACO REACH Model, or strategic transactions; any statements regarding management’s view of future expectations and prospects for us; any statements about prospective adoption of new accounting standards or effects of changes in accounting standards; any statements regarding our efforts to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and the timing of remediation; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terms, such as “anticipate,” “could,” “can,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “believe,” “think,” “plan,” “envision,” “intend,” “continue,” “target,” “seek,” “contemplate,” “budgeted,” “will,” or “would,” and the negative of such terms, other variations on such terms or other similar or comparable words, phrases, or terminology. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to change.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are outside of our control, and are based on the current beliefs, expectations, and certain assumptions of management. Some or all of such beliefs, expectations, and assumptions may not materialize or may vary significantly from actual results. Such statements are qualified by important economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors that could cause our business, strategy, or actual results or events to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 9, 2023, including the risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item IA thereof, and those discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change, and significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual conditions, outcomes, and results to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Description of Business
Overview
Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (“ApolloMed”) is a leading physician-centric, technology-powered, risk-bearing healthcare company. Leveraging its proprietary end-to-end technology solutions, ApolloMed operates an integrated healthcare delivery platform that enables providers to participate successfully in value-based care arrangements, thus empowering them to deliver high-quality care to patients in a cost-effective manner. ApolloMed was merged with Network Medical Management (“NMM”) in December 2017 (the “2017 Merger”). As a result of the 2017 Merger, NMM became a wholly owned subsidiary of ApolloMed, and the former NMM shareholders own a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of ApolloMed and maintain control of the board of directors. Unless the context dictates otherwise, references in these notes to the financial statements, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar words are references to ApolloMed and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated entities, as appropriate, including its consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”).
Headquartered in Alhambra, California, ApolloMed’s subsidiaries and VIEs include management services organizations (“MSOs”), affiliated independent practice associations (“IPAs”), an accountable care organization (“ACO”) participating in the ACO REACH model, and clinical operations. Together, ApolloMed provides value-based care enablement services and care delivery with our consolidated care partners. The Company provides care coordination services to each major constituent of the healthcare delivery system, including patients, families, primary care physicians, specialists, acute care hospitals, alternative sites of inpatient care, physician groups, and health plans. The Company’s physician network consists of primary care physicians, specialist physicians, and hospitalists.
Segments
The Company’s reportable segments changed from one to three in the first quarter of 2023 as a result of certain changes to the information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) when reviewing the Company’s performance as well as an effort to provide additional transparency to investors and other financial statement users. The three segments identified by the Company are Care Partners, Care Delivery and Care Enablement, which are described as follows:
Care Partners
The Company’s Care Partners segment is focused on building and managing high-quality and high-performance provider networks by partnering with, empowering, and investing in strong provider partners with a shared vision for coordinated care delivery. By leveraging the Company’s unique care enablement platform and ability to recruit, empower, and incentivize physicians to effectively manage total cost of care, the Company is able to organize partnered providers into successful multi-payer risk-bearing organizations which take on varying levels of risk based on total cost of care across membership in all lines of business, including Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and exchange. Through the Company’s network of IPAs, ACOs, and Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan, the Company’s healthcare delivery entities are responsible for coordinating and delivering high-quality care to their patients.
The Company’s consolidated IPAs consist of the following:
•Allied Physicians of California, a Professional Medical Corporation d.b.a. Allied Pacific of California IPA (“APC”);

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, include the following:
•ApolloMed;
•ApolloMed’s consolidated subsidiaries; NMM, AMM, APAACO, Orma Health Inc, Provider Growth Solutions, LLC, and FYB;
•ApolloMed’s consolidated VIEs; AP-AMH, AP-AMH 2, Sun Labs, DMG, and VOMG;

19
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company filed Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K/A”) and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q/-A”) with the SEC on August 9, 2023 to restate previously issued consolidated financial statements and financial information as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 in the Form 10-K/A and unaudited consolidated financial statements and financial information as of March 31, 2023 and for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 in the Form 10-Q/A. The Form 10-K/A also provided restated interim financial information for the quarterly fiscal 2022 periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include collectability of receivables, recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, business combination and goodwill valuation and impairment, accrual of medical liabilities (incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims), determination of full-risk and shared-risk revenue and receivables (including constraints, completion factors and historical margins), income tax-valuation allowance, share-based compensation, and right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.
Variable Interest Entities
On an ongoing basis, as circumstances indicate the need for reconsideration, the Company evaluates each legal entity that is not wholly owned by the Company in accordance with the consolidation guidance. The evaluation considers all of the Company’s variable interests, including equity ownership, as well as management services agreements. To fall within the scope of the consolidation guidance, an entity must meet both of the following criteria:
•The entity has a legal structure that has been established to conduct business activities and to hold assets; such entity can be in the form of a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, among others; and
•The Company has a variable interest in the legal entity; i.e., variable interests that are contractual, such as equity ownership, or other financial interests that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets.
If an entity does not meet both criteria above, the Company applies other accounting guidance, such as the cost or equity method of accounting. If an entity does meet both criteria above, the Company evaluates such entity for consolidation under either the variable interest model if the legal entity meets any of the following characteristics to qualify as a VIE, or under the voting model for all other legal entities that are not VIEs.
A legal entity is determined to be a VIE if it has any of the following three characteristics:
•The entity does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support;
•The entity is established with non-substantive voting rights (i.e., where the entity deprives the majority economic interest holder(s) of voting rights); or
•The equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Equity holders meet this criterion if they lack any of the following:
•The power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly influence the entity’s economic performance, as evidenced by:
•Substantive participating rights in the day-to-day management of the entity’s activities;
•Substantive kick-out rights over the party responsible for significant decisions;
20
•The obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses; or
•The right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns.
If the Company determines that any of the three characteristics of a VIE are met under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, the Company will conclude that the entity is a VIE and evaluate it for consolidation under the variable interest model.
Variable Interest Model
If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. The Company consolidates a VIE if both power and benefits belong to the Company; that is, the Company has:
•The power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power), and
•The obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (economics).
Reportable Segments
As of September 30, 2023, the Company operates in three reportable segments:
•Care Partners;
•Care Delivery; and
•Care Enablement.
Refer to Note 1 — “Description of Business” and Note 18 — “Segments” to the consolidated financial statements for information on the Company’s segments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit. The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible into known amounts of cash and mature within ninety days from their date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
21
Receivables, Receivables – Related Parties, Other Receivables and Loan Receivable - Related Party
The Company’s receivables are comprised of accounts receivable, capitation and claims receivable, risk pool settlements, incentive receivables, management fee income, and other receivables. Accounts receivable are recorded and stated at the amount expected to be collected.
The Company’s receivables – related parties are comprised of risk pool settlements, management fee income, and other receivables. Receivables – related parties are recorded and stated at the amount expected to be collected.
The Company’s loan receivable and loan receivable – related party consists of promissory notes that accrue interest per annum. As of September 30, 2023, promissory notes are expected to be collected by their maturity dates.
Capitation and claims receivables relate to each health plan’s capitation and are received by the Company in the month following the month of service. Risk pool settlements and incentive receivables mainly consist of the Company’s full risk pool receivable, which is recorded quarterly based on reports received from the Company’s hospital partners and management’s estimate of the Company’s portion of the estimated risk pool surplus for open performance years. Settlement of risk pool surplus or deficits occurs approximately 18 months after the risk pool performance year is completed. Other receivables consist of receivables from fee-for-services (“FFS”) reimbursement for patient care, certain expense reimbursements, transportation reimbursements from the hospitals, and stop-loss insurance premium reimbursements.
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. The Company also regularly analyzes the ultimate collectability of accounts receivable after certain stages of the collection cycle using a look-back analysis to determine the amount of receivables subsequently collected and adjustments are recorded when necessary. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Revenue Recognition
The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered:
•Commercial insurers;
•Federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS;
•State governments under the Medicaid and other programs;
•Other third-party payers (e.g., hospitals and IPAs); and
•Individual patients and clients.
Revenue primarily consists of the following:
•Capitation revenue;
•Risk pool settlements and incentives;
•GPDC/ACO REACH revenue;
•Management fee revenue; and
•FFS revenue.
Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are rendered or the period in which the Company is obligated to provide services. The form of billing and related risk of collection for such services may vary by type of revenue and the customer.
23
GPDC/ACO REACH Capitation Revenue
CMS contracts with Direct Contracting Entities (“DCEs”), which are composed of healthcare providers operating under a common legal structure and accept financial accountability for the overall quality and cost of medical care furnished to Medicare FFS beneficiaries aligned to the entity. The combination of the FFS model and the GPDC and ACO REACH model changes the distribution of responsibilities, risks, costs, and rewards among CMS, DCEs, and providers. By entering into a contract with CMS, a DCE voluntarily takes on operational, financial, and legal responsibilities and risks that no party has, individually or collectively, under the existing FFS model. Each DCE bears the economic costs, and reaps the economic rewards of fulfilling its responsibilities and managing its risks as a DCE. APAACO participated in the GPDC Model for Performance Year 2022 and is currently participating in the ACO REACH model for Performance Year 2023, beginning January 1, 2023.
For each performance year, CMS will pay a total benchmark amount, determined unilaterally by CMS in advance but subject to prospective adjustments throughout the year, for the totality of care provided to the DCE’s population of aligned beneficiaries over the course of that year. The benchmark is net of a quality withholding applied by CMS. At the end of each performance year, a portion, or all, of the quality withholding can be earned based on APAACO’s performance. GPDC/ACO REACH capitation revenue is recognized based on the estimated transaction price to transfer the service for a distinct increment of the series (i.e., month) and is recognized net of quality incentives/penalties.
Income Taxes
Federal and state income taxes are computed at currently enacted tax rates less tax credits using the asset and liability method. Deferred taxes are adjusted for both items that do not have tax consequences and for the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those previously used to determine deferred tax assets or liabilities. Tax provisions include amounts that are currently payable, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities that arise because of temporary differences between the timing of when items of income and expense are recognized for financial reporting and income tax purposes, changes in the recognition of tax positions and any changes in the valuation allowance caused by a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.
The Company uses a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not and a measurement attribute on all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in order to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Once the recognition threshold is met, the tax position is then measured to determine the actual amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.
3. Business Combinations, Asset Acquisitions, and Goodwill
Texas Independent Providers, LLC
On September 1, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets relating to Texas Independent Providers, LLC (“TIP”). The acquired assets allow the Company to provide high-quality care services to Medicare Advantage patients in Texas. The purchase price consisted of cash funded on September 1, 2023.
FYB
On May 1, 2023, the Company acquired 100 % equity interest in FYB. FYB is licensed by the California Department of Managed Health Care as a full-service Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan, which enables FYB to assume full financial responsibility, including both professional and institutional risk, for the medical costs of its members under the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975.
Chinese Community Health Care Association (“CCHCA”)
On March 1, 2023, the Company acquired certain healthcare assets from CCHCA. The acquired assets allow the Company to provide high-quality care to more patients in the San Francisco Community. The purchase price consisted of cash funded on May 1, 2023.
24
The acquisitions were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the consideration for the acquired companies was allocated to acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired requires the Company to make estimates and use valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. The results of operations from the acquisitions have been included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition. Transaction costs associated with business acquisitions are expensed as they are incurred.
At the time of acquisition, the Company estimates the amount of the identifiable intangible assets based on a valuation and the facts and circumstances available at the time. The Company determines the final value of the identifiable intangible assets as soon as information is available, but not more than one year from the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company had no impairment of its goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
The change in the carrying value of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

Loan receivable
Pacific6
In October 2020, NMM received a promissory note from 6 Founder LLC, a California limited liability company doing business as Pacific6 Enterprises totaling $0.5 million as a result of the sale of the Company’s interest in an equity method investment. Interest accrues at a rate of 5 % per annum and is payable monthly through the maturity date of December 1, 2023.
28
IntraCare
In July 2023, the Company entered into a five-year convertible promissory note with IntraCare as the borrower. The principal on the note is $25.0 million with interest on the outstanding principal amount and unpaid interest at a rate per annum equal to 8.81 %, compounded annually. In the event that the convertible promissory note remains outstanding on or after the maturity date of July 27, 2028, the outstanding principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest shall, upon the election of the Company, convert into IntraCare preferred shares.
The Company assessed the outstanding loan receivable under the CECL model by assessing the party’s ability to pay by reviewing their interest payment history quarterly, financial history annually, and reassessing any identified insolvency risk. If a failure to pay occurs, the Company assesses the terms of the notes and estimates an expected credit loss based on the remittance schedule of the note.
Loan receivable – related party
LaSalle Medical Associates Loan (“LMA Loan”)
LaSalle Medical Associates (“LMA”) issued a promissory note to APC-LSMA for a principal amount of $2.1 million with an August 2023 maturity date. The contractual interest rate on the LMA Loan is 1.0 % above the prime rate of interest for commercial customers. In March 2023, LMA paid off the full balance of the promissory note and all interest. APC’s investment in LMA is accounted for under the equity method based on the 25 % equity ownership interest held by APC-LSMA in LMA’s IPA line of business (see Note 5 — “Investments in Other Entities — Equity Method”).

Credit Facility
Amended Credit Agreement
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2021, entered into among the Company, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) provides for a five-year revolving credit facility to the Company of $400.0 million, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $25.0 million and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million, which expires on June 16, 2026. The Company is required to pay an annual agent fee of $50,000 and an annual facility fee of 0.175 % to 0.350 % on the available commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement, regardless of usage, with the applicable fee determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company will pay fees for standby letters of credit at an annual rate equal to 1.25 % to 2.50 %, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus facing fees and standard fees payable to the issuing bank on the respective letter of credit. The Company is also required to pay customary fees between the Company and Truist Bank, the lead arranger of the Amended Credit Agreement.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the debt bears interest at an annual rate equal to either, at the Company’s option, (a) the Term SOFR Reference Rate, calculated two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the first day of such interest period, as such rate is published by the Term SOFR Administrator (Federal Reserve Bank of New York), adjusted for any Term SOFR Adjustment, plus a spread of from 1.25 % to 2.50 %, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate, plus a spread of 0.25 % to 1.50 %, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate on the Credit Agreement was 6.92 %.
The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with two key financial ratios, each calculated on a consolidated basis. The Company must maintain a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of not greater than 3.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, provided that for any fiscal quarter during which the Company or certain subsidiaries consummate a permitted acquisition or investment, the aggregate purchase price is greater than $75.0 million, the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio may temporarily increase by 0.25 to 1.00 to 4.00 to 1.00. The Company must maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
On September 8, 2023, a Second Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement was entered into which, among other things, (i) increased the letter of credit sub-facility from $25.0 million to $50.0 million; (ii) revised the form of compliance certificate required to be submitted by the Company to the lenders on a quarterly basis; and (iii) waived the Specified Events of Default (as defined in the amendment) that occurred under the Amended Credit Agreement, relating to the Company’s calculation of Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and payment of certain interest and letter of credit fees, in each case, for the periods from the quarter ended September 30, 2021 through the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Deferred Financing Costs
In September 2019, the Company recorded deferred financing costs of $6.5 million related to its entry into the Credit Facility. In June 2021, the Company recorded additional deferred financing costs of $0.7 million related to its entry into the Amended Credit Facility. Deferred financing costs are recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability using straight-line amortization. The remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Credit Facility and the new costs related to the Amended Credit Facility are amortized over the life of the Amended Credit Facility. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unamortized deferred financing cost was $2.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

10. Mezzanine and Stockholders’ Equity
Mezzanine Equity
APC
As the redemption feature of the APC shares is not solely within the control of APC, the equity of APC does not qualify as permanent equity and has been classified as non-controlling interests in APC as mezzanine or temporary equity. APC’s shares were not redeemable, and it was not probable that the shares would become redeemable, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Stockholders’ Equity
As of September 30, 2023, 41,048 holdback shares have not been issued to certain former NMM shareholders who were NMM shareholders at the time of closing of the 2017 Merger, as they have yet to submit properly completed letters of transmittal to ApolloMed in order to receive their pro rata portion of ApolloMed common stock and warrants as contemplated under the 2017 merger agreement. 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 2017 Merger. The consolidated financial statements have treated such shares of common stock as outstanding, given the receipt of the letter of transmittal is considered perfunctory and the Company is legally obligated to issue these shares in connection with the 2017 Merger.
Treasury Stock
APC owned 10,299,259 shares of ApolloMed’s common stock as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. While such shares of ApolloMed’s common stock are legally issued and outstanding, they are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes and excluded from shares of common stock outstanding in the consolidated financial statements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company bought back 270,081 shares of its common stock. These are included as treasury stock.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total treasury stock was 10,569,340 and 10,299,259 , respectively.
Dividends
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, APC did not pay dividends. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, APC paid dividends of $0 and $10.0 million, respectively. These dividends are deemed Excluded Assets that are solely for the benefit of APC and its shareholders. As such, they have no impact on the Series A Dividend payable by APC to AP-AMH Medical Corporation, and consequently will not affect net income attributable to ApolloMed.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, CDSC paid dividends of $1.3 million and $0 , respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, CDSC paid dividends of $1.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

The Company grants restricted stock to officers and employees, which are earned based on service conditions. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock is that day’s closing market price of the Company’s common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted 353,181 shares of restricted stock with performance based conditions and 340,107 shares of restricted stock without performance based conditions.

Warrants
All warrants issued by the Company expired as of December 31, 2022. As a result, there are no outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, common stock warrants were exercised for 281,742 shares of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in proceeds of approximately $2.0 million. The exercise price ranged from $10.00 to $11.00 per share for the exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
35
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare program and healthcare generally are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes it complies with all applicable laws and regulations and is unaware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing. While no regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action, including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medi-Cal programs.
As a risk-bearing organization, the Company is required to follow regulations of the Department of Managed Health Care (“DMHC”). The Company must comply with a minimum working capital requirement, tangible net equity (“TNE”) requirement, cash-to-claims ratio, and claims payment requirements prescribed by the DMHC. TNE is defined as net assets less intangibles, less non-allowable assets (which include amounts due from affiliates), plus subordinated obligations.
Many of the Company’s payor and provider contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of medical services. Such differing interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed following contract implementation. Liabilities for claims disputes are recorded when the loss is probable and can be estimated. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in current operations.
Standby Letters of Credit
The Company established irrevocable standby letters of credit with Truist Bank for a total of $36.5 million for the benefit of CMS (see Note 9 — “Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit — Standby Letters of Credit”).
APC and Alpha Care established irrevocable standby letters of credit with Preferred Bank for a total of $0.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the benefit of certain health plans (see Note 9 — “Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit — Standby Letters of Credit”).
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of its business. The resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.
Liability Insurance
The Company believes that its insurance coverage is appropriate based upon the Company’s claims experience and the nature and risks of the Company’s business. In addition to the known incidents that have resulted in the assertion of claims, the Company cannot be certain that its insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against the Company, the Company’s affiliated professional organizations or the Company’s affiliated hospitalists in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all pending claims, including liabilities in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance that future claims will not have such a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Contracted physicians are required to obtain their own insurance coverage.
Although the Company currently maintains liability insurance policies on a claims-made basis, which are intended to cover malpractice liability and certain other claims, the coverage must be renewed annually, and may not continue to be available to the Company in future years at acceptable costs, and on favorable terms.

14. Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.
On an interim basis, the Company estimates what its anticipated annual effective tax rate will be and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with the estimated annual rate, plus the tax effect of certain discrete items that arise during the quarter. As the fiscal year progresses, the Company refines its estimates based on actual events and financial results during the quarter. This process can result in significant changes to the Company’s estimated effective tax rate. When this occurs, the income tax provision is adjusted during the quarter in which the estimates are refined so that the year-to-date provision reflects the estimated annual effective tax rate. These changes, along with adjustments to the Company’s deferred taxes and related valuation allowance, may create fluctuations in the overall effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was 34.8 % and 38.8 %, respectively. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, tax on dividend distributions and income from flow-through entities.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. The Company will recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
15. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during a certain period, and is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ApolloMed by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period, using the as-if converted method for secured convertible notes, preferred stock, and the treasury stock method for options and common stock warrants.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, APC held 10,299,259 and 10,299,259 shares of ApolloMed’s common stock, respectively, which are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes and not included in the number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate earnings per share.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, restricted stock of 243,689 and 192,804 , respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding because the assumed proceeds, as calculated under the treasury stock method, resulted in these awards being antidilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, restricted stock of 243,689 and 192,804 were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for being antidilutive.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 925,558 of contingently issuable shares were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding because these conditions were not achieved as of September 30, 2023. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, 290,045 of contingently issuable shares were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding because these conditions were not achieved as of September 30, 2022.

16. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
A VIE is defined as a legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company follows guidance on the consolidation of VIEs that requires companies to utilize a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. See Note 2 — “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Variable Interest Entities” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on how the Company determines VIEs and their treatment.

The following table includes assets that can only be used to settle the liabilities of APC and its consolidated entities and VIEs, including Alpha Care and Accountable Health Care, and to which the creditors of ApolloMed have no recourse, and liabilities to which the creditors of APC, including Alpha Care and Accountable Health Care, have no recourse to the general credit of ApolloMed, as the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. These assets and liabilities, with the exception of the investment in a privately held entity that does not report net asset value per share and amounts due to affiliates, which are eliminated upon consolidation with NMM, are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (in thousands). The assets and liabilities of the Company’s other consolidated VIEs were not considered significant.

18. Segments
The Company determined its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). The Company currently has three reportable segments consisting of: 1) Care Partners; 2) Care Delivery; and 3) Care Enablement (See Note 1 – Description of Business). The Company’s reportable segments changed from one to three in the first quarter of 2023 as a result of certain changes to the information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) when reviewing the Company’s performance as well as an effort to provide additional transparency to investors and other financial statement users which the Company believes will assist in the evaluation of changes in the operating results of the Company’s segments separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus providing insight into both operations and other factors impacting reported results.
The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment revenue growth as well as operating income. Management uses revenue growth and total segment operating income as a measure of the performance of operating businesses separate from non-operating factors. The Company’s operations are based in the United States. All revenues of the Company are derived from the United States. The Company’s segments are not evaluated using asset information.
The Company’s Care Partners segment is focused on building and managing high-quality and high-performance provider networks by partnering with, empowering, and investing in strong provider partners with a shared vision for coordinated care delivery. Under relevant accounting guidance, while the Company’s IPAs and ACO are two operating segments, they share similar economic characteristics and meet other criteria which permits the Company to aggregate them into a single reportable segment, which the Company has done. Revenue for this segment is primarily comprised of capitation and risk pool settlements and incentives.
The Company’s Care Delivery segment is a patient-centric, data-driven care delivery organization focused on delivering high-quality and accessible care to all patients. The care delivery organization includes primary care, multi-specialty care, and ancillary care services. Revenue is primarily earned based on fee-for-service reimbursements, capitation, and performance-based incentives.
The Company’s Care Enablement segment is an integrated, end-to-end clinical and administrative platform powered by the Company’s proprietary technology suite, which provides operational, clinical, financial, technology, management, and strategic services to enable success in the delivering of high-quality, value-based care for providers and payers. Revenue for this segment is primarily comprised of management and software fees, charged as a percentage of gross revenue or on a per-member-per-month basis.
45
Other is not a reportable segment and primarily consists of real estate operations and other entities that are individually immaterial. Revenue is primarily comprised of equipment sales and real estate revenue is presented in other income.
In the normal course of business, our reportable segments enter into transactions with each other. While intersegment transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the revenues recognized by a segment and expenses incurred by the counterparty are eliminated in consolidation and do not affect consolidated results.
Corporate costs are unallocated and primarily include corporate initiatives, corporate infrastructure costs and corporate shared costs, such as finance, human resources, legal, and executives.
The following table presents information about our segments and prior periods have been recast to conform to the current presentation (in thousands):

19. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, fiduciary cash, investment in marketable securities, receivables, loans receivable, accounts payable, certain accrued expenses, finance lease obligations, and long-term debt. The carrying values of the financial instruments classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are considered to be at their fair values, due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of finance lease obligations and long-term debt approximate fair value as they bear interest at rates that approximate current market rates for debt with similar maturities and credit quality.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis and requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuations used to measure fair value.
There have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 classification and no changes in valuation techniques for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
47
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates and yield curves), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs would be based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2023, are presented below (in thousands):

Investments in Marketable Securities
Investments in marketable securities consist of equity securities and certificates of deposit with various financial institutions. The appropriate classification of investments is determined at the time of purchase, and such designation is reevaluated at each balance sheet date.
Certificates of deposit are reported at par value, plus accrued interest, with maturity dates greater than ninety days . As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, certificates of deposit amounted to approximately $2.1 million and $0 , respectively. Investments in certificates of deposit are classified as Level 1 investments in the fair value hierarchy.
49
Equity securities held by the Company are primarily comprised of common stock of a payer partner that completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in June 2021 and Nutex Health Inc. (formerly known as Clinigence Holdings, Inc.) (“Nutex”). In May 2022, the Company exercised warrants from Nutex and subsequently recognized the shares within investments in marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In March 2023, the contingent equity securities were settled and the Company received additional Nutex common stock. The additional common stock received from the contingent equity securities is included in investments in marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the equity securities were approximately $0.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses recognized on equity securities sold are recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income under other income.

Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Swap and Collar Agreements
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. The Company has entered into interest rate swap and collar agreements to effectively convert its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis or to a rate within the agreed-upon range. The principal objective of these contracts is to eliminate or reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. Refer to Note 9 — “Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit” for further information on our debt. Interest rate swap and collar agreements are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value on these contracts are recognized as unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as unrealized gain or loss on interest rate swaps.
The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap was determined using Level 2 inputs. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $4.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and was presented within other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s collar agreement is designed to limit the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s Revolver Loan. Under the terms of the agreement, the ceiling is 5.0 % and the floor is 2.34 %. The estimated fair value of the collar was determined using Level 2. As of September 30, 2023 the fair value of the collar was $1.3 million.
50
Remaining equity interest purchase
The Company has a financing obligation to purchase the remaining equity interest in DMG and Sun Labs within three years from the date the Company consolidated DMG and Sun Labs. The purchase of the remaining DMG equity value is considered a financing obligation with a carrying value of $8.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The purchase of the remaining Sun Labs equity value is considered a financing obligation with a carrying value of $8.1 million and $5.8 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the change in the fair value of Sun Labs equity value obligation was $2.3 million and is presented in unrealized loss on investments in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. As the financing obligations are embedded in the non-controlling interest, the non-controlling interests are recognized in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Contingent considerations
VOMG
Upon consolidating VOMG as a VIE, the purchase price consisted of cash funded upon the close of transaction and additional cash consideration (“VOMG contingent consideration”) contingent on VOMG meeting financial metrics for fiscal years 2023 and 2024. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted model that includes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The contingent consideration is included within other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

20. Subsequent Events
Truist Amended Credit Agreement
On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Incremental Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) with the banks and other financial institutions party thereto and Truist Bank, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), which amended the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement Amendment provided a new term loan to the Company in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, with $180.0 million funded at the closing of the Credit Agreement Amendment, and $120.0 million available to be drawn by the Company as delayed draw loans during the six months subsequent to the closing of the Credit Agreement Amendment (collectively, the “New Term Loan”). The New Term Loan matures on November 3, 2028 (or such earlier date on which it is terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement) and amortizes quarterly at 5 % per annum for each of the first two years, 7.5 % per annum for years three and four, and 10 % per annum for year five. Proceeds of the New Term Loan will be used to refinance outstanding revolving loans under the Amended Credit Agreement and for certain permitted acquisitions and share repurchases. As of November 9, 2023, the Company made drawdowns of $280.0 million, of which $180.0 million was used to pay the outstanding amount borrowed on the revolving line of credit.
The Company will pay a quarterly ticking fee on the delayed draw portion of the New Term Loan in an amount equal to 0.375 % per annum multiplied by the average daily unused portion of delayed draw maximum amount. The New Term Loan will be secured by substantially all assets of the Company and subsidiaries of the Company that are not designated as immaterial subsidiaries.
The New Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to either, at the Company’s option, (a) the Term SOFR Reference Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment), adjusted for any Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment), plus a spread from 1.50 % to 2.75 %, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate, plus a spread of 0.50 % to 1.75 %, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement Amendment also revised certain negative covenants in the Credit Agreement, providing the Company with additional baskets and increased flexibility with respect to restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions and restricted payments. The Credit Agreement Amendment also updates to the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to include additional addbacks and to clarify certain components of the calculation thereof.
The Credit Agreement Amendment did not change the amount of the revolving line of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement (which remained at $400.0 million), the maturity date of the revolving line of credit (which remained June 16, 2026), or the rate of interest paid on the revolving line of credit (which remained subject to a spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio).
Share Repurchase
On November 6, 2023, the Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement with APC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase approximately $100 million of the Company’s common stock from APC. The Company intends to finance the share repurchase with borrowings under the Credit Agreement Amendment. APC is a consolidated affiliate of the Company of which Dr. Thomas Lam, the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officer and President and a director, is the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and a director and stockholder; Dr. Kenneth Sim, the Company’s Executive Chairman, is Chairman and a director and stockholder; and Dr. Albert Young, the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer, is Senor Executive Vice President and a stockholder.
52
Community Family Care Medical Group IPA
On November 7, 2023, the Company and certain affiliates entered into an Asset and Equity Purchase Agreement with Community Family Care Medical Group IPA, Inc. (“CFC”), Advanced Health Management Systems, L.P. (“AHMS”) and the other parties thereto (the “CFC/AHMS Purchase Agreement”). Under the terms of the CFC/AHMS Purchase Agreement, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions: (i) certain affiliates of the Company will purchase all of the outstanding general and limited partnership interests of AHMS for an aggregate purchase price of $52 million, subject to customary adjustments, and (ii) an affiliate will purchase substantially all the assets of CFC for an aggregate purchase price of $113.8 million (consisting of $93.8 million in cash and 631,712 shares of common stock of the Company), subject to customary adjustments, plus the assumption of certain identified liabilities of CFC plus earnout payments in an aggregate amount of up to $15 million. The Company intends to finance these transactions with cash on hand, the Company’s stock, and borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement. The CFC/AHMS Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and other agreements. The obligations of the parties to complete the transactions are subject to the satisfaction, or waiver, of customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. It is currently anticipated that the purchase of the assets of CFC and the purchase of the outstanding partnership interests of AMHS will occur in two separate closings, both of which are currently expected to occur during the first calendar quarter of 2024. CFC is an independent medical practice association that has entered into agreements with organizations such as insurance companies, health plans, self-insured employers, government payers, health maintenance organizations, medical groups, independent practice associations and other third party payers for the arrangement of the provision of healthcare services to subscribers or enrollers of such plans. AHMS is engaged in the business of providing management, consulting, administrative and other support services to entities that provide or arrange for the provision of professional healthcare services.

Overview
Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. is a leading physician-centric, technology-powered, risk-bearing healthcare management company. Leveraging its proprietary population health management and healthcare delivery platform, ApolloMed operates an integrated, value-based healthcare model, which aims to empower the providers in its network to deliver the highest quality of care to its patients in a cost-effective manner. Together with our affiliated physician groups and consolidated entities, we provide coordinated outcomes-based medical care in a cost-effective manner.
53
The majority of our patients are covered by private or public insurance provided through Medicare, Medicaid, and health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”). However, a small portion of our revenue comes from non-insured patients. We provide care coordination services to each major constituent of the healthcare delivery system, including patients, families, primary care physicians, specialists, acute care hospitals, alternative sites of inpatient care, physician groups, and health plans. Our physician network consists of primary care physicians, specialist physicians, physician and specialist extenders, and hospitalists. We operate primarily through Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (“ApolloMed”) and the following subsidiaries: NMM, AMM, and APAACO and their consolidated entities, including consolidated VIEs. Refer to Note 2 — “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all consolidated entities.
Led by a management team with several decades of experience, we focus on physicians providing high-quality medical care, population health management, and patient care coordination. As a result, we believe we are well-positioned to take advantage of the shift in the U.S. healthcare industry toward providing value-based and results-oriented healthcare with a focus on patient satisfaction, high-quality care, and cost efficiency.
Through our accountable care organization and a network of IPAs with more than 10,000 contracted physicians, we are responsible for coordinating care in value-based care arrangements for approximately 0.9 million patients primarily in California as of September 30, 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 calculated differently from similar 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. Other companies may calculate both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes. To the extent this Form 10-Q 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents, and investment in marketable securities at September 30, 2023 totaled $277.0 million as compared to $293.6 million at December 31, 2022. Working capital totaled $273.3 million at September 30, 2023, as compared to $279.5 million (restated) at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $6.2 million. In the long term, the Company aims to have the leverage ratio to be within the range 2.25-2.75. The Company defines leverage ratio as total debt less free cash flow consisting of cash less current liabilities over the last twelve months of EBITDA.
We have historically financed our operations primarily through internally generated funds. We generate cash primarily from capitation contracts, risk pool settlements and incentives, fees for medical management services provided to our affiliated physician groups, and FFS reimbursements. We generally invest cash in money market accounts, which are classified as cash and cash equivalents. We also have the Amended Credit Agreement, which provides for a five-year revolving credit facility of $400.0 million and expires in June 2026. In addition, we have a current shelf registration statement filed with SEC under which we may issue common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and other securities that may be offered in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $48.9 million, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by changes in net income and working capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income exclusive of depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance cost, share-based compensation, unrealized gains or losses, income or loss from equity method investments, and deferred tax was $83.7 million compared to $80.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased operating cash flow by $34.8 million, compared to an $82.9 million decrease in operating cash flow at September 30, 2022. The change in working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was mainly driven by an increase in receivables, net, and increase in medical liabilities related to the Company’s participation in value-based Medicare fee-for-service model, increase in related party receivables primarily due to timing of risk pool settlements that occur approximately 18 months after the risk pool performance year is completed, and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income tax payable due to timing of payments.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $54.1 million, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $21.5 million, purchases of marketable securities of $2.1 million, purchase of a privately held investment of $2.0 million, purchase of an equity method investment of $0.3 million, contribution to an equity method investment of $0.7 million, issuance of a loan receivable of $25.0 million, and payments for business and asset acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $4.7 million. The cash used in investing activities was partially offset by proceeds from repayment of a loan receivable of $2.2 million. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $20.3 million, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $22.1 million, payments for business acquisition, net of cash, of $5.6 million, purchase of marketable securities of $1.8 million, and funding for an equity method investment of $1.8 million. The cash used in investing activities was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $6.4 million, repayment of a loan receivable of $4.1 million, and distributions from an equity method investment of $0.4 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $8.6 million, primarily due to repurchase of treasury stock of $9.7 million, dividend payments of $2.3 million, repayment of debt of $0.5 million, a repayment of finance lease obligations of $0.5 million, and purchase of non-controlling interest of $0.1 million. This was partially offset by borrowings from bank loans totaling $3.1 million and proceeds from the exercise of options of $1.3 million. Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $26.0 million. Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to dividend payments of $12.7 million, repurchase of shares of $9.6 million, repayment of debt of $3.7 million, purchase of non-controlling interest of $4.3 million, and a repayment of finance lease obligations of $0.4 million.
Excluded Assets
In September 2019, APC and AP-AMH entered into Second Amendment to Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, which clarified the term excluded assets (“Excluded Assets”). Excluded Assets means (i) assets received from the sale of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series A Purchase Price (as defined in the purchase agreement), (ii)
65
the assets of APC that are not Healthcare Services Assets (as defined in the purchase agreement), including APC’s equity interests in Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., and any entity that is primarily engaged in the business of owning, leasing, developing, or otherwise operating real estate, (iii) any assets acquired with the proceeds of the sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of the assets described in clauses (i) or (ii), and (iv) any proceeds of the assets described in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii).
The Excluded Assets as of September 30, 2023 are primarily comprised of assets and liabilities from operating real estate and proceeds from the sale of UCI. Any dividends issued to APC shareholders are paid using cash from Excluded Assets. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the assets and liability included in Excluded Assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

Credit Agreement
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility to the Company of $400.0 million, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $50.0 million and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million, which expires on June 16, 2026. On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment, which provided a new term loan to the Company in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million. This increased the Company’s facility under the Amended Credit Agreement to $700.0 million, including the existing $400.0 million revolver. As of November 8, 2023, the Company made drawdowns of $280.0 million under the Amended Credit Agreement, of which $180.0 million was used to pay the outstanding amount borrowed on the revolving line of credit.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, income, assets, and liabilities, reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results and the timing of recognition of such amounts could differ from those judgments, assumptions, and estimates. In addition, judgments, assumptions, and estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which our management uses judgment, assumptions, and estimates in applying these policies, therefore, is integral to understanding our financial statements. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, potentially resulting in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We summarize our most significant accounting policies in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Note 2 — “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” thereto. Please also refer to the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that are or have been reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.
68
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement exposed us to interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2023, we had $180.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, the amount borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement bears interest at an annual rate equal to either, at the Company’s option, (a) the Term SOFR Reference Rate, calculated two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the first day of such interest period, as such rate is published by the Term SOFR Administrator (Federal Reserve Bank of New York), adjusted for any Term SOFR Adjustment, plus a spread of from 1.25% to 2.50%, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate, plus a spread of 0.25% to 1.50%, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, Tag 8, a VIE consolidated by the Company, had $7.1 million in outstanding borrowings for the Construction Loan. The interest rate on the Construction Loan is equal to an index rate determined by the bank. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2023, APC had $22.7 million in outstanding borrowings for real estate loans related to ZLL, MPP, AMG Properties, and 120 Hellman (“Real Estate Loans”). These loans, other than 120 Hellman’s Real Estate Loan, bear interest that is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index, which is the daily Wall Street Journal “Prime Rate,” as quoted in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal (Western edition) as determined by the Lender. Under no circumstances will the interest rate on these loans be less than 3.50% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. 120 Hellman’s Real Estate Loan has a variable interest rate of 2.0% in excess of Daily Simple SOFR, which is the daily rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements and collar agreements for certain agreements to effectively convert its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis or to a rate within the agreed-upon range. The principal objective of these contracts is to eliminate or reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. A hypothetical 1% change in our interest rates for our outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement, Construction Loans, and Real Estate Loans would have increased or decreased our interest expense for three months ended September 30, 2023 by $2.1 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
As of September 30, 2023, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting associated with income taxes that is described below, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial and Strategy Officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Associated with Company’s Tax Provision
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis. As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022, management has identified a material weakness in internal controls relating to the inadequate design of controls associated with income taxes resulting in insufficient analysis, documentation, and review regarding the completeness and accuracy of the Company’s tax filing structure with related impact on intercompany transactions and consolidated tax filing groups.
69
This material weakness resulted in errors in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 that are restated in this Form 10-Q. Additionally, this material weakness could result in misstatements of the related accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Management’s Remediation Plans
Management is actively engaged in the implementation of remediation plans to address the controls contributing to the material weakness associated with the tax provision. The Company’s remediation actions include, but are not limited to, the following:
i.We have hired additional personnel that are experienced in tax matters and are implementing controls to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the Company’s tax filing structure.
ii.We continue to design and implement relevant controls to enable an effective and timely review of the income tax consequences of intercompany transactions and consolidated tax group determinations. This includes the identification of relevant supporting documentation and the retention of sufficient detailed evidence of review procedures performed.
We believe these measures will remediate the material weakness, but management is assessing the need for any additional steps to remediate the underlying causes that gave rise to this weakness. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. There is no assurance that additional remediation steps will not be necessary.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and our financial condition as of such date, in accordance with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than implementation of the measures described above to remediate the material weakness.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of our business, we, from time to time, become involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings. Many of the Company’s payer and provider contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of medical services, which may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed following contract implementation. We may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve significant claims and/or significant defense costs, but as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as disclosed, we are not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which management expects to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us or our business. The resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business, financial condition, and operating results are affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including risks specific to us or the healthcare industry, as well as risks that affect businesses in general. In addition to the information and risk factors set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2023. The risks disclosed in such Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations and thus our stock price. We believe there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the Annual Report, other than with respect to the risk factor discussed below. However, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or which we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Quarterly Report and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Because of such risk factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. In addition, the disclosure of any risk factor should not be interpreted to imply that the risk has not already materialized.
We currently, and may in the future, have assets held at financial institutions that exceed the insurance coverage offered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; the loss of such assets would have a severe negative affect on our operations and liquidity.
We maintain our cash assets at certain financial institutions in the U.S. in amounts that are significantly in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of September 30, 2023, our deposit accounts with banks exceeded the FDIC’s insured limit by approximately $301.8 million. In the event of a failure of any financial institutions where we maintain our deposits or other assets, we may incur a significant loss to the extent such loss exceeds the FDIC insurance limitation, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and our results of operations.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, no shares were repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase plan. In December 2022, ApolloMed’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its shares of common stock on the open market and through privately negotiated transactions. This share repurchase plan does not have an expiration date. The Board may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time. This repurchase program does not obligate the Company to make additional repurchases at any specific time or in any specific situation. As of September 30, 2023, $40.5 million remained available for repurchase under the repurchase plan.
The following table provides information about purchases made by the Company of shares of the Company's common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
