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 of the ACO REACH Model, the MSSP, 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; our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; any statements regarding potential changes to our tax structure; 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.

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.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 29, 2024, including the risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A thereof.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Description of Business

Overview

Unless the context dictates otherwise, references in these notes to the financial statements to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar words are references to Astrana Health, Inc. (“Astrana”), formerly known as Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated entities, as appropriate, including its consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

Headquartered in Alhambra, California, Astrana is a leading provider-centric, technology-powered, risk-bearing healthcare company. Leveraging its proprietary end-to-end technology solutions, Astrana operates an integrated healthcare delivery platform that enables providers to successfully participate in value-based care arrangements, thus empowering them to deliver accessible, high-quality care to patients in a cost-effective manner. Together with Astrana’s affiliated physician groups and consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs, the Company provides value-based care enablement services and care delivery with its consolidated care partners to serve patients in California, Nevada, and Texas, the majority of whom are covered by private or public insurance provided through Medicare, Medicaid, and health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), with a small portion of our revenue coming from non-insured patients. 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, physician and specialist extenders, and hospitalists.

Segments

The Company’s three reportable segments are Care Partners, Care Delivery and Care Enablement, which are described as follows:

Care Partners

The 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 aligned on 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 that take on varying levels of risk based on total cost of care across membership in all lines of business, including Medicare fee for service (“FFS”), Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Commercial, and Exchange. Through the Company’s network of “independent practice associations” (“IPAs”), “accountable care organizations” (“ACOs”), and Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan, the Company’s healthcare delivery entities are responsible for coordinating and delivering high-quality care to the Company’s patients and ensuring continuity of care in Astrana’s ecosystem across age, stage of life, or life circumstance. Beginning in 2024, in addition to participating in the ACO REACH Model, the Company began participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”). The MSSP was created to promote accountability and improve coordination of care for Medicare beneficiaries.

Care Delivery

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 Company’s care delivery organization includes primary care, multi-specialty care, and ancillary care services. This segment includes the following:

•Primary care clinics, including post-acute care services;

•Multi-specialty care clinics and medical groups, including hospitalist, intensivist, and physician advisory services, cardiac care and diagnostic testing, and specialized care for women’s health; and

•Ancillary service providers, such as urgent care centers, outpatient imaging centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and full-service labs.

Care Enablement

The Company’s Care Enablement segment is an integrated, end-to-end clinical, operational, financial, and administrative platform powered by the Company’s proprietary technology suite that enhances the delivery of high-quality, value-based care to patients and leads to superior clinical and financial outcomes. The Company provides solutions to providers, including independent physicians, provider and medical groups, accountable care organizations, and payers, including health plans and other risk-bearing organizations. The Company’s platform meets providers and payers where they are, with a wide spectrum of solutions across the total cost of care risk spectrum, ranging from solutions for fee-for-service entities to hospital-shared risk-bearing entities, and across patient types, including Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial, and Exchange patients. This segment includes the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries which operate as management services organizations (“MSOs”), which enter into long-term management and/or administrative services agreements with IPAs, ACOs, clinics, or independent providers. By leveraging the Company’s care enablement platform, providers and payers can improve their ability to deliver high-quality care to their patients and achieve better patient outcomes.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023, has been derived from the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements, but does not include all annual disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments as well as intercompany accounts and transactions, which have been eliminated) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, include Astrana’s wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that users of the interim financial data have either read or have access to our audited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed 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 hospital shared-risk and health plan 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.

Business Combinations

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for all business combinations, which requires assets and liabilities of the acquiree to be recorded at fair value, to measure the fair value of the consideration transferred, including contingent consideration, to be determined on the acquisition date, and to account for acquisition-related costs separately from the business combination.

Reportable Segments

As of March 31, 2024, 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 condensed 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.

The Company maintains its cash in deposit accounts with several banks, which at times may exceed the insured limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deposit accounts with banks exceeded the FDIC’s insured limit by approximately $353.6 million and $318.9 million, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses to date and performs ongoing evaluations of these financial institutions to limit the Company’s concentration of risk exposure.

Receivables, Receivables – Related Parties, Other Receivables and Loan Receivables

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 receivables consists of promissory notes that accrue interest per annum. As of March 31, 2024, 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 hospital shared-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-service (“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 the receivables. Management reviews the composition of the Company’s receivables 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.

Receivables are recorded when the Company is able to determine amounts receivable under applicable contracts and agreements based on information provided and collection is reasonably likely to occur. In regard to the credit loss standard, the Company continuously monitors its collections of receivables and our expectation is that the historical credit loss experienced across our receivable portfolio is materially similar to any current expected credit losses that would be estimated under the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model.

Concentrations of Credit Risks

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts by service type and payer type. This level of detail provides useful information pertaining to how the Company generates revenue by significant revenue stream and by type of direct contracts. The condensed consolidated statements of income present disaggregated revenue by service type. The following table presents disaggregated revenue generated by payer type for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023

Commercial	$	49,512	$	40,019

The Company had major payers that contributed the following percentages of net revenue:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023

Payer A	34.0	%	41.5	%
Payer B	13.5	%	*

*Less than 10% of total net revenues

The Company had major payers that contributed to the following percentages of receivables and receivables – related parties:


	As of March 31, 2024		As of December 31, 2023
Payer A	31.0	%	36.0	%

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 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;

•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.

Risk Pool Settlements and Incentives

Medicare Shared Savings Program Revenue

Beginning in 2024, Astrana participates in MSSP. The MSSP has multiple risk tracks, and Astrana is currently participating in the ENHANCED risk track. Under the MSSP Model, Astrana recruits a group of Participant and Preferred (in-network) Providers. Based on the Participant Providers that join our ACO, CMS grants us a pool of Traditional Medicare patients (beneficiaries) to manage (the “MSSP Aligned Beneficiaries”). The Company’s MSSP Aligned Beneficiaries will receive services from physicians and other medical service providers that are both in-network and out-of-network. CMS continues to pay participant and preferred providers on a fee-for-service basis for Medicare-covered services provided to MSSP Aligned Beneficiaries. The Company continues to bear risk on all Medicare expenditures (both in-network and out-of-network), excluding drug expenditures covered by Medicare Part D, based on a budgetary benchmark established with CMS. Astrana’s shared savings or losses in managing the Company’s beneficiaries are generally determined on an annual basis after reconciliation with CMS. Pursuant to Astrana’s risk-share agreement with CMS, the Company is eligible to receive the surplus (“shared savings”) or is liable for the deficit (“shared losses”) according to the budgetary benchmark established by CMS based on Astrana’s efficiency, or lack thereof, in managing the expenditures associated with the Company’s MSSP Aligned Beneficiaries. The Company estimates the shared service revenue by analyzing the activities during the relevant time period in contemplation of the agreed upon benchmarks, metrics, performance criteria, and attribution criteria based on those and any other contractually defined factors. Revenue is not recorded and is constrained until the shared service revenue can be reasonably estimated by the Company and to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur once any uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

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 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

Following the acquisition dates of CFC, AHMS, ADSC and PCCCV, the operating results have been included in our consolidated financial statements. For the period from the acquisition dates through March 31, 2024, total revenues and net income were $33.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The pro forma financial information in the table below presents the combined results of the Company and CFC, AHMS, ADSC and PCCCV as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2023. The pro forma information presented is shown for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations of the Company or results of operations of the Company that would have actually occurred had the transactions been in effect for the periods presented.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2024		2023
Total revenue	$	493,006	$	382,462
Net income	$	16,661	$	20,324

Net income per share - basic	$	0.35	$	0.44
Net income per share - diluted	$	0.35	$	0.43

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 upon 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. Factors leading to goodwill being recognized are the Company’s expectation of synergies from combining operations of entities acquired and the Company, as well as the value of intangible assets that are not separately recognized, such as assembled workforce. The determination of 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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The change in the carrying value of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

Amended Credit Facility

Amended Credit Agreement

On June 16, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (as subsequently amended as described below, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank, in its capacity as administrative agent for the lenders, issuing bank, swingline lender and lender, and the banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto, to, among other things, to amend and restate that certain credit agreement, dated September 11, 2019, by and among the Company, Truist Bank, and certain lenders thereto, in its entirety. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”) to the Company of $400.0 million (“Revolver Loan”), which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $25.0 million (which was amended to $50.0 million, as described below) and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million and which expires on June 16, 2026. As of March 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $94.8 million on the Revolver Loan.

On December 20, 2022, an amendment was made to the Amended Credit Agreement, in which all amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement as of the effective date were automatically converted from London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) Loans to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Loans with an initial interest period of one month on and as of the amendment effective date. Amounts borrowed under the Revolver Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to either, at the Company’s option, (a) the Term SOFR Reference Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), adjusted for any Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.50%, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), or (b) a base rate, plus a spread ranging from 0.25% to 1.50%, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the interest rate on the Revolver Loan was 7.42%.

On September 8, 2023, a Second Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement was entered into, which, among other things, increased the letter of credit sub-facility from $25.0 million to $50.0 million.

On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (“Third Amendment”) with Truist Bank and the other financial institutions party thereto. The Third 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 Third 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 Third Amendment (collectively, the “Term Loan”). The 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. As of March 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $296.5 million on the Term Loan. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to either, at the Company’s option, (a) the Term SOFR Reference Rate, adjusted for any Term SOFR Adjustment, plus a spread from 1.50% to 2.75%, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net 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 Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 7.68%.

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.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Guaranty and Security Agreement”) between the Company, Astrana Health Management, Inc. (“AHM”) and Truist Bank remain in effect. Pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, the Company and AHM have granted the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement a security interest in substantially all of their assets to secure obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, all stock and other equity issued by their subsidiaries (including AHM) and all rights with respect to the $545.0 million loan from the Company to Astrana Medical.

Promissory Note Payable

FYB Promissory Note Agreement with CCHCA

In May 2021, For Your Benefit, Inc. entered into a promissory note agreement with Chinese Community Health Care Association. The principal on the promissory note is $2.0 million, with a maturity date of May 9, 2024. The interest rate is the prime rate plus 1.0%. The prime rate is updated annually on the effective date of the note and published by the Wall Street Journal.

Deferred Financing Costs

At March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the unamortized deferred financing cost was $5.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of unamortized deferred financing costs was recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and consisted of unamortized deferred financing costs related to unborrowed amounts available on the Revolver Loan. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, $4.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of unamortized deferred financing costs was recorded as a direct reduction against the amounts borrowed on the Term Loan and Revolver.

Effective Interest Rate

The Company’s average effective interest rate on its total debt during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was 6.51% and 5.69%, respectively. Interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income included amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Lines of Credit

APC Business Loan

On September 10, 2019, the APC Business Loan Agreement with Preferred Bank (the “APC Business Loan Agreement”) was amended to, among other things, decrease loan availability to $4.1 million, limit the purpose of the indebtedness under the APC Business Loan Agreement to the issuance of standby letters of credit, and include as a permitted lien, the security interest in all of its assets that APC granted to AHM under a Security Agreement dated on or about September 11, 2019, securing APC’s obligations to AHM under their management services agreement dated as of July 1, 1999, as amended.

Standby Letters of Credit

The Company established irrevocable standby letters of credit with Truist Bank under the Amended Credit Agreement for a total of $31.8 million for the benefit of CMS and certain health plans. Unless the institution provides notification that the standby letters of credit will be terminated prior to the expiration date, the letters will be automatically extended without amendment for additional one-year periods from the present or any future expiration date.

Certain IPAs consolidated by the Company established irrevocable standby letters of credit with Preferred Bank under the APC Business Loan Agreement for a total of $3.9 million for the benefit of certain health plans as of March 31, 2024. The standby letters of credit are automatically extended without amendment for additional one-year periods from the present or any future expiration date, unless notified by the institution in advance of the expiration date that the letter will be terminated.

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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Stockholders’ Equity

As of March 31, 2024, 41,048 holdback shares have not been issued to certain former AHM shareholders who were AHM shareholders at the time of closing of the 2017 merger of Astrana with AHM, as they have yet to submit properly completed letters of transmittal to Astrana in order to receive their pro rata portion of Astrana common stock as contemplated under the 2017 merger agreement. Pending such receipt, such former AHM 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 condensed 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

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, APC owned 7,132,698 shares of Astrana’s common stock. While such shares of Astrana’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 condensed consolidated financial statements. APC’s ownership in Astrana was 13.04% and 13.22% as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had previously repurchased 3,451,642 shares of its common stock. These are included as treasury stock.

As of both March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the total treasury stock, including the Company’s stock held by APC, was 10,584,340.

Dividends

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company paid distributions of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, to the shareholders who own the non-controlling interests in the entities.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recognized under all of the Company’s stock plans for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and associated with the issuance of restricted shares of common stock and vesting of stock options that are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

	2024		2023
Stock options	$	349	$	566
Restricted stock	5,399		2,879
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	5,748	$	3,445

Options

The Company’s outstanding stock options consisted of the following:


	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)

Options exercisable at March 31, 2024	459,140	$	28.04	1.41	$	8.4

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no options were exercised. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, options were exercised for 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in proceeds of $1.3 million.

Restricted Stock

The Company grants restricted stock to officers and employees, which is earned based on service conditions. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock is the grant date’s closing market price of the Company’s common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 296,428 shares of restricted stock with performance-based conditions and 255,781 shares of restricted stock without performance-based conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock with and without performance-based conditions was $43.88 and $40.65, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

The Company’s ESPP is a shareholder-approved plan that allows eligible employees to contribute a portion of their eligible earnings toward the semi-annual purchase of the Company’s common stock at a discounted price equal to 85% up to 90% of the fair market values of the stock on the exercise date, subject to a maximum number of shares that can be purchased during any single offering period as well as an annual maximum dollar amount of shares during any single calendar year. A maximum of 5,000,000 shares were authorized for issuance at the time the Plan was approved. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there are no shares purchased by employees.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Regulatory Matters

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 payer 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 $31.8 million for the benefit of CMS and certain health plans as of March 31, 2024 (see Note 9 — “Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit — Standby Letters of Credit”).

Certain IPAs consolidated by the Company established irrevocable standby letters of credit with Preferred Bank for a total of $3.9 million for the benefit of certain health plans as of March 31, 2024 (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.

13. Related-Party Transactions

Equity Method Investments

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, AHM recognized approximately $5.0 million in management fees from LMA. On August 31, 2023, the management service agreement between LMA’s IPA and AHM was terminated. LMA is accounted for under the equity method based on the 25% equity ownership interest held by APC in LMA’s IPA line of business (see Note 5 — “Investments in Other Entities - Equity Method”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, APC paid approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to PMIOC for provider services. APC and PMIOC have an Ancillary Service Contract together whereby PMIOC provides covered services on behalf of APC to enrollees of the plans of APC. PMIOC is accounted for under the equity method based on the 40% equity ownership interest held by APC (see Note 5 — “Investments in Other Entities — Equity Method”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, to James Song, M.D., a Professional Corporation (“Song PC”) for provider services. Song PC is accounted for

under the equity method based on the 25% equity ownership interest held by Astrana, as Astrana has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control over, Song PC’s operations.

Astrana Board Members and Officers

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, AHM recognized approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in management fees from Arroyo Vista Family Health Center (“Arroyo Vista”).

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s operating right-of-use asset balance included $12.7 million and $14.1 million, respectively, and the Company’s operating lease liabilities included $13.2 million and $14.5 million, respectively, for certain properties that are managed by Allied Pacific Holdings Investment Management, LLC.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million in expenses payable to Third Way Health for call center services. One of Astrana’s officers is a board member of Third Way Health.

One of the Company’s board members is an officer of AHMC, HSMSO, and Aurion. Aurion is also partially owned by one of the Company’s board members. Revenue with AHMC and HSMSO consists of capitation, risk pool, and miscellaneous fees and expenses consisting of claims expenses, management fees, and consulting fees.

The following table sets forth revenue recognized and fees incurred related to AHMC, HSMSO, and Aurion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):


	Three months ended March 31, 2024						Three months ended March 31, 2023
	AHMC		HSMSO		Aurion		AHMC		HSMSO		Aurion
Revenue	$	9,920	$	301	$	—	$	14,484	$	315	$	—

In addition, affiliates wholly owned by the Company’s key personnel are reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income on a consolidated basis, together with the Company’s subsidiaries, and therefore, the Company does not separately disclose transactions between such affiliates and the Company’s subsidiaries as related-party transactions.

Intercompany Transactions

Because of corporate practice of medicine laws, the Company uses designated shareholder professional corporations, of which the sole shareholder is a member of the Company’s key personnel, to engage in certain transactions and make intercompany loans from time to time.

For equity method investments, see Note 5 — “Investment in Other Entities — Equity Method”.

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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was 29.8% and 35.7%, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and income from flow-through entities.

As of March 31, 2024, 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.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in California. The Company and its subsidiaries’ state and federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2019 through December 31, 2023, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023, respectively.

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 Astrana 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 and preferred stock, and the treasury stock method for options and common stock warrants.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, APC held 7,132,698 shares of Astrana’s common stock, 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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, restricted stock of 118,142 and 136,932, 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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 973,461 and 395,472 of contingently issuable shares were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding because these conditions were not achieved as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Below is a summary of the earnings per share computations:


Three Months Ended March 31,	2024		2023
Earnings per share – basic	$	0.31	$	0.28
Earnings per share – diluted	$	0.31	$	0.28
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – basic	47,260,351		46,555,406
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted	47,699,537		46,954,687

Below is a summary of the shares included in the diluted earnings per share computations:



Three Months Ended March 31,	2024	2023
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – basic	47,260,351	46,555,406
Stock options	188,083	306,933
Restricted stock	225,128	48,191
Contingently issuable shares	25,975	44,157
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted	47,699,537	46,954,687

16. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include its subsidiaries and consolidated 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.

Certain state laws prohibit a professional corporation that has more than one shareholder from being a shareholder in another professional corporation. As a result, the Company cannot directly own shares in other professional corporations. However, an exception to this regulation permits a professional corporation that has only one shareholder to own shares in another professional corporation. In reliance on this exception, the Company designated certain key personnel as the nominee shareholders of professional corporations that hold controlling and non-controlling ownership interests in several medical corporations. Via a Physician Shareholder Agreement with the nominee shareholder, the Company has the ability to designate another person to be the equity holder of the professional corporation. In addition, these entities are managed by the Company’s wholly owned MSOs via MSA. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, the professional corporations and their consolidated medical corporations are consolidated by the Company in the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Due to corporate practice of medicine laws, the Company operates by maintaining long-term MSAs with its affiliated IPAs and medical groups, each of which is owned and operated by physicians only, and employs or contracts with additional physicians to provide medical services. AHM is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and has entered into MSAs with several affiliated IPAs, including APC. APC arranges for the delivery of healthcare services by contracting with physicians or professional medical corporations for primary care and specialty care services. The physicians in the IPA are exclusively in control of, and responsible for, all aspects of the practice of medicine for enrolled patients. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, APC has been determined to be a VIE of AHM, as AHM is its primary beneficiary with the ability, through majority representation on the APC Joint Planning Board and otherwise, to direct the activities (excluding clinical

decisions) that most significantly affect APC’s economic performance. Therefore, APC and its wholly owned subsidiaries and VIEs are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.

Astrana Medical and Astrana Care Partners Medical were formed in May 2019 and July 2021, respectively, as designated shareholder professional corporations. The Company’s Vice Chairman is the sole shareholder of Astrana Medical and Astrana Care Partners Medical. Via a Physician Shareholder Agreement, Astrana makes all the decisions on behalf of Astrana Medical and Astrana Care Partners Medical.

18. Segments

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.

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.

Certain amounts disclosed in prior period have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, reclassifications were made between cost of services and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying segment table for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Collar Agreements

The Company’s collar agreement is designed to limit the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s Revolver Loan. The principal objective of the collar agreement 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 the Company’s debt. Under the terms of the agreement, the ceiling is 5.0% and the floor is 2.34%. The collar agreement is not designated as a hedging instrument. Changes in the fair value of this contract are recognized as unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as unrealized loss on investments. The estimated fair value of the collar was determined using Level 2. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the collar was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, and presented within other assets and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $0.7 million.

Remaining equity interest purchase

In 2021, the Company entered into a financing obligation to purchase the remaining equity interest in Diagnostic Medical Group of Southern California (“DMG”) and Sun Clinical Laboratories (“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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Changes in the fair value of the remaining equity purchase are presented in unrealized gain and loss on investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The purchase of the remaining Sun Labs equity value is considered a financing obligation with a carrying value of $7.3 million and $7.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $0.5 million and unrealized loss of $1.4 million, respectively, due to the change in the fair value of Sun Labs equity value obligation. As the financing obligations

are embedded in the non-controlling interest, the non-controlling interests are recognized in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contingent considerations

All American Medical Group (“AAMG”)

Upon acquiring 100% of the equity interest in AAMG, the purchase price consisted of cash funded upon close of the transaction and additional consideration (“AAMG contingent consideration”) and stock consideration (“AAMG stock contingent consideration”) contingent on AAMG meeting revenue and capitated member metrics for fiscal years 2023 (“2023 metric”) and 2024 (“2024 metric”). If the contingent considerations are met, the settlement will be paid in the Company’s common stock. The total amount of stock that can be issued for the 2023 and 2024 metrics is 157,048 and 184,361, respectively. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent considerations using a probability-weighted model that includes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Specifically, the Company considered various scenarios of revenue and assigned probabilities to each such scenario in determining fair value.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the AAMG contingent consideration for the 2023 metric was valued at $3.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and was included within other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The 2023 metric was met, but remains in other liabilities until the shares are issued.

The AAMG contingent consideration for the 2024 metric was valued at $3.9 million and $2.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and was included in other liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Changes in the AAMG contingent consideration are presented in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The AAMG stock contingent consideration for 2023 and 2024 metric was valued at $5.6 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and is included in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ADSC

Upon acquiring 95% of the equity interest of Advanced Diagnostic and Surgical Center in 2024, the total consideration of the acquisition included contingent considerations. The contingent considerations will be settled in cash contingent on ADSC achieving revenue and EBITDA metrics for fiscal years 2023 (“ADSC 2023 Metric”) and 2024 (“ADSC 2024 Metric”) (collectively, “ADSC contingent considerations”). The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted model that includes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Specifically, the Company considered various scenarios of revenue and assigned probabilities to each such scenario in determining fair value. As of March 31, 2024, the ADSC 2023 Metric and the 2024 Metric were valued at $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively and were included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the ADSC contingent considerations are presented in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

CFC

Upon acquiring certain assets of CFC in 2024, the total consideration of the acquisition included contingent considerations. The contingent considerations will be settled in cash contingent upon CFC maintaining or exceeding the target member month amount for the first, second and third measurement period (“CFC contingent considerations”). The contingent liability will be paid after achieving the metric in each measurement period. The Company will pay $5.0 million for each metric achieved for each measurement period or a total of $15.0 million. In the event that the CFC first and/or second contingent considerations are not achieved during the first and/or the second measurement period, if the metric is met within the second and/or third measurement period, there is a catch-up payment that shall be paid concurrently with the payments of the CFC second contingent consideration and/or CFC third contingent consideration. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted model that includes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Specifically, the Company considered various scenarios of revenue and assigned probabilities to each such scenario in determining fair value. As of March 31, 2024, the first, second, and third metric were valued at $3.1 million, $2.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and were all included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the CFC contingent considerations are presented in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

PCCCV

Upon acquiring certain assets of PCCCV in 2024, the total consideration of the acquisition included contingent considerations. The contingent considerations will be settled in cash contingent upon PCCCV meeting certain metrics related to financial ratios and member months for the first and second measurement periods (“PCCCV contingent considerations”). The Company determined the fair value of the contingent considerations using a probability-weighted model that includes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Specifically, the Company considered various scenarios of revenue and assigned probabilities to each such scenario in determining fair value. As of March 31, 2024, the value of the contingent consideration was valued at $2.3 million. Changes in the PCCCV contingent considerations are presented in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Physician Groups and Patients

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, we managed a total of 18 and 15 independent physician groups that are affiliated and non-affiliated, respectively. The total number of patients for whom we managed the delivery of healthcare services was approximately 1.0 million and 1.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revenue

Our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $404.4 million, as compared to $337.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $67.1 million, or 20%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the following:

(i) Capitation revenue increased by $65.7 million primarily as a result of our recent acquisitions within our Care Partners segment, including the acquisition of CFC IPA assets that closed on January 31, 2024.

Cost of Services, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization

Expenses related to cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $330.4 million, as compared to $289.4 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $41.0 million. The increase was primarily due to our recent acquisitions within our Care Partners segment.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $38.7 million, as compared to $21.2 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $17.5 million, or 83%. The increase was primarily due to general and administrative expenses to support operational growth.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $5.1 million, as compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2023. This amount includes depreciation of property and equipment and the amortization of intangible assets.

Income From Equity Method Investments

Income from equity method investments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.6 million, as compared to income from equity method investments of $2.5 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $1.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to APC’s equity method investment in LMA. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, APC recognized income from this investment of $0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $7.6 million, as compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $4.3 million. The increase in interest expense was due to greater amounts borrowed on the Amended Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $391.3 million on the Amended Credit Facility compared to $180.0 million as of March 31, 2023.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $4.0 million compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Interest income reflects interest earned on cash held in bank accounts, money market and certificate of deposit accounts and the interest from notes receivable. The increase in interest income was primarily from the IntraCare convertible promissory note and BASS secured promissory note.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Unrealized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.1 million, as compared to a $6.4 million loss for the same period in 2023, a decrease in unrealized loss of $7.5 million. The decrease in unrealized loss on investments was primarily driven by changes in the fair value of equity securities.

Other Income (Loss)

Other loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $4.3 million, as compared to other income of $1.2 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $5.5 million. The decrease in other income was primarily due to an expense related to a financial guarantee via a letter of credit that we provided almost three years ago in support of two local provider-led ACOs.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a provision for income taxes of $6.9 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $0.2 million. The increase in provision for income taxes was due to an increase in pretax income.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2.0 million, as compared to net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $0.6 million, an increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interest of $2.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by a decrease in unrealized loss resulting from the change in the fair value of equity securities held by APC.

Net Income Attributable to Astrana Health, Inc.

Our net income attributable to Astrana Health, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $14.8 million, as compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $1.7 million.

Segment Financial Performance

The Company currently has three reportable segments consisting of Care Partners, Care Delivery and Care Enablement. 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. For more information about our segments, refer to Note 1 — “Description of Business” and Note 18 - “Segments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $43.2 million, as compared to $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase in operating income of $20.9 million, or 94%. The increase in revenue and operating income was primarily due to recent acquisitions within our Care Partners segment.

Care Delivery Segment

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $30.7 million, as compared to $25.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $5.3 million, or 21%. Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.2 million, as compared to a loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase in operating income of $0.7 million, or 75%. The increase in revenue and operating income was primarily driven by increased volume in patient visits at our primary, multi-specialty, and ancillary care delivery entities.

Care Enablement Segment

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $33.3 million, as compared to $30.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $3.5 million, as compared to operating income of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease in operating income of $2.2 million, or 39%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to managing more IPAs and the decrease in operating income was due to more expenses incurred to support the growth in Care Enablement operations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, 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. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA over total revenue.

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 March 31, 2024 totaled $337.3 million as compared to $296.3 million at December 31, 2023. Working capital totaled $183.5 million at March 31, 2024, as compared to $242.8 million at December 31, 2023, a decrease of $59.3 million.

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 and certificates of deposit, 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 a term loan of up to $300.0 million and expires June 2026 and November 2028, respectively. In addition, we have a current shelf registration statement filed with the 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.

Cash Flow Activities

Our cash flows are summarized as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2024		2023		$ Change		% Change


Net cash provided by operating activities	$	5,977	$	7,720	$	(1,743)	(23)	%

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	41,289	$	(13,414)	$	54,703	(408)	%

* Percentage change of over 500%

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $6.0 million, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by changes in net income and working capital. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income exclusive of depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance cost, share-based compensation, unrealized gains or losses, income from equity method investments, deferred tax and other was $29.1 million compared to $26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased operating cash flow by $23.2 million, compared to an $18.9 million decrease in operating cash flow at March 31, 2023. The change in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was mainly driven by an increase in receivables, net, other receivables and related party receivables primarily due to timing of our receivables including risk pool settlements that occur approximately 18 months after the risk pool performance year is completed, and increase in income tax payable as a result of timing in income tax payments.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $71.0 million, primarily due to payments for business and asset acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $50.6 million, issuance of loan receivable of $20.0 million, and purchases of property and equipment of $0.4 million. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $14.0 million, primarily due to a deposit for purchase of property of $8.8 million, purchases of property and equipment of $6.0 million, purchase of marketable securities of $1.0 million, and purchase of an equity method investment of $0.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from the repayment of a loan receivable of $2.1 million.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $106.4 million, primarily due to borrowings on long-term debt totaling $110.0 million, partially offset by repayment of long term-debt of $3.5 million. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to repurchase of treasury stock of $9.5 million, dividend payments of $0.1 million, repayment of debt of $0.2 million, and repayment of finance lease obligations of $0.2 million, partially offset by borrowings from bank loans totaling $1.6 million and proceeds from the exercise of options of $1.3 million.

Amended 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 third amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, 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. Refer to Note 9 — “Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit” to our condensed consolidated financial statements under Item 1 in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Promissory Note Payable

In May 2021, For Your Benefit, Inc. entered into a promissory note agreement with Chinese Community Health Care Association. The principal on the promissory note is $2.0 million with a maturity date of May 9, 2024. Refer to Note 9 — “Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit” to our condensed consolidated financial statements under Item 1 in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

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 condensed 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 that 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 condensed 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024, 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Borrowings under the Term Loan provided for under our Amended Credit Agreement, as of March 31, 2024, were $296.5 million. The 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 Amended Credit Agreement), adjusted for any Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus a spread from 1.50% to 2.75%, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net 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 Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $94.8 million under the Revolver Loan. The Revolver 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 Amended Credit Agreement), adjusted for any Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.50%, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), or (b) a base rate, plus a spread ranging from 0.25% to 1.50%, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio. Borrowings under the Promissory Note Payable, as of March 31, 2024, was $2.0 million. The interest rate is defined as the prime rate plus 1.0%. The prime rate is updated annually on the effective date of the note and published by the Wall Street Journal. The Company has entered into a collar agreement for its Revolver Loan to effectively convert its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The principal objective of the collar agreement 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 would have increased or decreased our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, by $3.9 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 March 31, 2024, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Operating Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Operating Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, party to lawsuits, threatened lawsuits, disputes and other claims arising in the normal course of business. We assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements. These legal accruals may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, we do not record an accrual, consistent with applicable accounting guidance. In the opinion of management, while the outcome of such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, our ultimate liability in connection with these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows, and the amounts accrued for any individual matter are not material. However, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain. As a result, the outcome of a particular matter or a combination of matters may be material to our results of operations for a particular period, depending upon the size of the loss or our income for that particular period.

Certain of the pending or threatened legal proceedings or claims in which we are involved are discussed under Note 12 - “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated by reference herein.

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 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 for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. The risks disclosed in such Annual 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. 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.

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.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company issued an aggregate of 631,712 shares of common stock. The foregoing issuances was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction not involving public offering.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no shares were repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase plan. In December 2022, Astrana’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 March 31, 2024, $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 March 31, 2024.
