Overview

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. We, together with our affiliated physician groups and consolidated entities, provide coordinated outcomes-based medical care serving patients in California, Nevada, Texas, Maryland, Connecticut, Georgia, and Hawaii, 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. 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. Astrana’s common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and trades under the symbol “ASTH.”

Led by a leadership team with several decades of experience, we have built a company and culture focused on physicians providing high-quality medical care, population health management, and care coordination for patients. Through our integrated health network, of more than 10,000 contracted physicians, we are responsible for coordinating value-based care for approximately 1.1 million patients as of December 31, 2024. 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. We implement and operate different innovative healthcare models, primarily including the following three reportable segments:

•
Care Partners;
•
Care Delivery; and
•
Care Enablement.

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 aligned on a shared vision for coordinated care delivery. Astrana meets providers where they are and enables independent providers to remain independent while succeeding in value-based care. Astrana acts as a “single payer” for our network of providers, enabling value-based care arrangements, including hospital shared-risk contracts. By leveraging our unique Care Enablement platform and ability to recruit, empower, and incentivize physicians to manage total cost of care effectively, we are 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 our network of risk-bearing organizations (“RBOs”) that encompass independent practice associations (“IPAs”), accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), and state-specific entities such as Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans in California, our healthcare delivery entities are tasked with the coordination and provision of high-quality care to patients within Astrana’s ecosystem. This helps provide a seamless continuity of care among patients in different age groups, stages of life, and life circumstances.

6

An IPA is an association of independent physicians, or other organization that contracts with independent physicians. IPAs provide services to HMOs, which are medical insurance groups that provide health services generally for a fixed annual fee, on a negotiated per capita rate, flat retainer fee, or negotiated FFS basis. Our affiliated IPAs comprise a network of independent primary care physicians and specialists who collectively care for patients. Our IPAs contract with various HMOs and other licensed healthcare service plans - such as Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans, as defined in the California Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, as amended (the “Knox-Keene Act”), to provide physician services to their enrollees, typically under capitated arrangements. Each HMO negotiates a fixed amount per member per month (“PMPM”) that is to be paid to our IPAs. In return, the IPAs arrange for the delivery of healthcare services by contracting with physicians or professional medical corporations for primary care and specialty care services. Our IPAs assume the financial risk of the cost of delivering healthcare services in excess of the fixed amounts received. Some of the risk is transferred to the contracted physicians or professional corporations. The risk is subject to stop-loss provisions in contracts with HMOs. With our Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans in California, we can assume full financial responsibility, including both professional and institutional risk, for the medical costs of our members under the plans, which allows our Care Partners to manage a full spectrum of care.

An Accountable Care Organization, or ACO participates in one or more payment and delivery models sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) that provide high-quality and affordable care to Medicare Fee-For-Service patients. The CMS programs allow provider groups to assume higher levels of financial risk and potentially achieve a higher reward from participation in the respective program’s attribution-based risk-sharing model. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s ACOs participated in the ACO REACH Model and the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”).

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 that sees approximately 800,000 patients annually. As medical care has been increasingly delivered in clinic settings, many integrated health networks also operate healthcare facilities primarily focused on the diagnosis and/or care of outpatients, including those with chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes to cover the primary healthcare needs of local communities. Our Care Delivery organization spans over 60 locations across three states and includes:

•
Primary care clinics, including post-acute care services;
•
Specialty care clinics and inpatient services, including cardiac care, endocrinology, and ophthalmology, as well as hospitalist and intensivist services; and
•
Ancillary service providers, such as urgent care centers, outpatient imaging centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and full-service labs.

We evaluate our Care Partners networks based on specialty and geographic location, and then strategically build or acquire practices and provider groups to address any gaps. This ensures that patients have access to high-quality care. Our ability to establish Care Delivery clinics tailored to specific markets enables us to scale effectively as we enter into new markets.

7

Care Enablement

The Company’s Care Enablement segment represents a comprehensive platform that integrates clinical, operational, financial, and administrative information, all powered by our proprietary technology suite and underpinned by more than 35 years of real-world data. This platform enhances the delivery of high-quality, value-based care to our patients and helps lead to superior clinical and financial outcomes. Our Care Enablement tools are leveraged across our Care Partners and Care Delivery lines of business as well as third-party providers outside of our Astrana ecosystem. Our Care Enablement segment provides solutions to payers and providers, including independent physicians, provider and medical groups, and ACOs. The Company’s platform meets providers and payers wherever they are on the spectrum of total cost of care, offering solutions for FFS entities to providers open to taking upside and downside risks on professional and institutional spending, and across all patient types, including Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial, and Exchange-insured patients. By leveraging our Care Enablement platform, we believe that providers and payers can improve their ability to deliver high-quality care to their patients and achieve better patient outcomes.

Population health management (“PHM”) is a central trend within healthcare delivery, which includes the aggregation of patient data across multiple health information technology resources, the analysis of that data into a single, actionable patient record, and the actions through which care providers can improve both clinical and financial outcomes. PHM seeks to improve health outcomes by monitoring and identifying individual patients, aggregating data, and providing a comprehensive clinical picture of each patient. Providers can use that data to track and hopefully improve clinical outcomes while lowering costs. A successful PHM platform requires a robust care and risk management infrastructure, a cohesive delivery system, and a well-managed partnership network.

Our Care Enablement segment includes management service organizations (“MSOs”) that provide non-medical services, under management service agreements (“MSAs”). Under these arrangements, the MSOs have authority over various non-medical decisions related to ongoing business operations. These services include but are not limited to:

•
Physician recruiting;
•
Physician and health plan contracting;
•
Care management, including utilization management, medical management, and quality management;
•
Provider relations;
•
Member services, including annual wellness evaluations;
•
Claims processing;
•
Pre-negotiating contracts with specialists, labs, imaging centers, nursing homes, and other vendors; and
•
Revenue cycle management.

Integrated Health Network

An integrated health network that is able to pool a large number of patients, such as the Company and its affiliated physician groups, is positioned to take advantage of industry trends, meet patient and government demands, and benefit from cost advantages resulting from their scale of operation and integrated approach of care delivery. In addition, an integrated health network with years of managed care experience can leverage their expertise and sizeable medical data to identify specific treatment strategies and interventions, improve the quality of medical care, and lower costs. Many integrated health networks, including the Company and its affiliated physician groups, have also established physician performance metrics that allow them to monitor quality and service outcomes achieved by participating physicians in order to reward efficient, high-quality care delivered to members and initiate improvement efforts for physicians whose performance can be enhanced.

8

Through our RBOs with over 10,000 contracted healthcare providers, which have agreements with various health plans, hospitals, and other HMOs, we are responsible for coordinating the care of approximately 1.1 million patients, as of December 31, 2024. These patients are comprised of managed care members whose health coverage is provided through their employers, or who have acquired health coverage directly from a health plan or as a result of their eligibility for Medicaid or Medicare benefits. Our managed patients benefit from an integrated approach that places physicians at the center of patient care and utilizes sophisticated risk management techniques and clinical protocols to provide high-quality, cost-effective care. To implement a patient-centered, physician-centric experience, we also have other integrated and synergistic operations, including (i) MSOs that provide management and other services to our affiliated IPAs, (ii) primary care clinics, (iii) multi-specialty care clinics and medical groups, and (iv) ancillary service providers.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2024, Astrana, its subsidiaries, and consolidated VIEs had approximately 1,900 employees. None of our employees are members of a labor union, and we have not experienced any work stoppage.

We are committed to supporting the professional development of our employees, providing competitive compensation and benefits and a safe and inclusive workplace that enables employees to achieve their full potential. We measure employee engagement on an ongoing basis to create a more innovative, productive, and profitable company. Results from engagement surveys are used to implement programs and processes designed to support employee retention and satisfaction. The Company believes a workplace that promotes fairness and opportunity fosters innovation and cultivates an environment filled with unique perspectives and growth. Respect for human rights is fundamental to the Company’s business and its commitment to ethical business conduct.

Our dedication to employee growth is reflected in the various learning and development programs offered at Astrana. We organize leadership programs, including a bi-annual summit, the Becoming Leaders program, quarterly training for supervisors and managers, individual coaching, and ad hoc training sessions, to support our employees’ professional advancement. Our professional development reimbursement program empowers employees to attend classes, and seminars and obtain certifications, enhancing their skill sets and opening up new opportunities for advancement within the Company.

We actively promote and support employees seeking to make a positive impact on their communities and charitable causes by donating time, talents, and resources. In 2024, Astrana contributed to a number of charitable organizations, including the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank, The Trevor Project, Doctors Without Borders, the Ngozi Educational Foundation, and Eisner Health. In response to the recent California wildfires in 2025, Astrana organized collections of supplies to contribute to the LA Dream Center to benefit individuals who were displaced, and Astrana employees additionally volunteered at the Los Angeles Mission to sort through donations.

Organization

We operate through our wholly owned subsidiaries and their consolidated entities, including consolidated VIEs. Our wholly owned subsidiaries are MSOs and ACOs. Our MSOs operate within our Care Enablement segment and are in the business of providing management services. Our ACOs operate within our Care Partners segment and participate in CMS programs. Our consolidated IPAs operate within our Care Partners segment, and the clinics and ancillary service providers operate within our Care Delivery segment. Our IPAs, clinics, and ancillary service businesses are consolidated by the Company as VIEs. We consolidate a VIE if we have both power and benefits—that is, (i) we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) we have the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Some states have laws that prohibit business entities with non-physician owners, such as Astrana and its subsidiaries, from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, or exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. These laws are generally referred to as the corporate practice of medicine laws. States with corporate practice of medicine laws permit only physicians to practice medicine, exercise control over medical decisions, or engage in certain arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians.

Due to these laws, we operate by maintaining long-term MSAs with our 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. Astrana Health Management, Inc. (“AHM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into MSAs with several affiliated IPAs, including Allied Physicians of California IPA, a Professional Medical Corporation, d.b.a. Allied Pacific of California IPA (“APC”). APC contracts with various HMOs or licensed healthcare service plans, each of which pays a fixed payment (“capitation”). In return, APC arranges for the delivery of healthcare services by contracting with physicians or professional medical corporations for primary care and specialty care services. APC assumes the financial risk of the cost of delivering healthcare services in excess of the fixed amounts received. The risk is subject to stop-loss provisions in contracts with HMOs. Some risk is transferred to the contracted physicians or professional corporations. 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 is 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.

Due to laws prohibiting a California professional corporation with more than one shareholder, such as Astrana and APC, from being a shareholder in another California professional corporation, the Company cannot directly own shares in other professional corporations. However, an exception to this regulation permits a professional corporation with only one shareholder to own shares in another professional corporation. In reliance on this exception, the Company will designate certain key personnel as a nominee shareholder of the professional corporation which holds 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 each professional corporation. In addition, these entities are managed by our wholly owned MSOs via MSAs. Under the MSAs, we provide and perform non-medical management and administrative services. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, the professional corporations and their consolidated medical corporations are consolidated by the Company in the accompanying financial statements.

See Note 18—“Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)” to our consolidated financial statements for information on our entities that qualify as consolidated VIEs.

Investments

We invested in several entities in the healthcare industry. Our equity method investments range from 25%-51% equity interest in entities that operate similarly to our Care Partners, Care Delivery and Care Enablement segments. These investments are accounted for under the equity method as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control over operations.

APC holds a 2.8% membership interest in MediPortal LLC, a New York limited liability company, and AHM holds a 10% interest in AchievaMed, Inc., a California corporation.

The Company entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) with Third Way Health, Inc. (“Third Way Health”) and Seen Health, Inc. (“Seen Health”). Based on certain triggering events defined in each SAFE agreement, the Company has rights to Third Way Health and Seen Health shares. The number of shares to be acquired will be calculated when the triggering event occurs. As of December 31, 2024 , the related investment balance for Third Way Health SAFE and Seen Health SAFE was $6.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Agreement to Acquire Certain Assets and Businesses of Prospect

On November 8, 2024, the Company and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries party thereto entered into an Asset and Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with PHP Holdings, LLC (“PHPH”), PHS Holdings, LLC (“PHS”), Prospect Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“PIH” and, together with PHPH and PHS, the “Prospect Equity Sellers”), certain other related entities party thereto (such entities, the “Prospect Asset Sellers” and, together with the Prospect Equity Sellers, the “Sellers”) and Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. (“Prospect”), as Seller Representative. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, the Company agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests of Prospect Health Services RI, Inc. (d/b/a Prospect ACO Rhode Island), Alta Newport Hospital, LLC (d/b/a Foothill Regional Medical Center) (the “Hospital”) and Prospect Health Plan, Inc., and substantially all the assets of certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of PHPH, for an aggregate purchase price of $745.0 million, subject to customary adjustments, plus the assumption of certain identified liabilities of the Sellers (the “Transaction”). The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, indemnification provisions, covenants, conditions and other agreements, including that each party is bound by a non-solicitation covenant and Sellers will abide by certain exclusivity and non-competition covenants. The Purchase Agreement also contains certain customary termination rights, including termination by either party if the conditions to closing the Purchase Agreement have not been met or waived by August 8, 2025, provided, that if certain required regulatory approvals have not been met by such date, then the Sellers may extend such date for up to an additional three months. The obligations of the parties to complete the Transaction are subject to the satisfaction, or waiver, of customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory and governmental approvals. On January 11, 2025, Prospect filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. Certain businesses and assets of Prospect being acquired by the Company are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the timing of the proposed acquisition could be impacted by the bankruptcy filing and the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of relevant aspects thereof. It is currently anticipated that the Transaction will close in the middle of 2025. The Company cannot provide any assurance that the Transaction will close in a timely manner, or at all.

Prospect is an integrated care delivery system that facilitates and coordinates the delivery of high-quality clinical care for all. With a network of around 3,000 primary care providers and 10,000 specialists across Southern California, Texas, Arizona, and Rhode Island, Prospect enables providers to deliver payer-agnostic, patient-centered care to approximately 610,000 members across Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and Commercial lines of business. This strategic transaction will significantly expand the Company's provider network and should enhance its ability to offer increased access, quality, and value for its members.

On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” and the credit facility thereunder, the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) with Truist Bank, in its capacities as administrative agent for the lenders, issuing bank, swingline lender and a lender, and the banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto, to, among other things, amend and restate the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for (a) a five-year revolving credit facility to the Company of $300.0 million, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100.0 million and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million, (b) a five-year term loan A credit facility to the Company of $250.0 million and (c) a five-year delayed draw term loan credit facility to the Company of $745.0 million. The term loan A and revolving credit facilities are intended to be used to, among other things, refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Company and certain subsidiaries, pay transactions costs and expenses arising in connection with the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and provide for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes, and, in addition to the foregoing, the revolving credit facility will also be used to finance certain future permitted acquisitions and permitted investments and capital expenditures. The delayed draw term loan facility will be used to finance the Transaction.

Our Industry

Industry Overview

U.S. healthcare spending has increased steadily over the past two decades. CMS estimates that total U.S. healthcare expenditures are expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5.6% from 2023 to 2032, and will reach $7.7 trillion by 2032. Health spending is projected to grow 1.3% faster than the U.S. gross domestic product per year on average over 2023–2032, and as a result, the healthcare share of gross domestic product is expected to grow from 17.3% in 2022 to 19.7% in 2032. Medicare spending increased by 8.1% to $1,029.8 billion, and Medicaid spending increased by 7.9% to $871.7 billion in 2023, which accounted for 21% and 18% of total health expenditures, respectively. Private health insurance spending increased by 11.5% to $1.5 trillion in 2023, accounting for 30% of total health expenditures. Medicare spending is expected to have the fastest growth (7.5% per year for 2023–2032) primarily due to the projected enrollment growth.

Managed care health plans were developed in the U.S., primarily during the 1980s, in an attempt to mitigate the rising cost of providing healthcare to populations covered by health insurance. These managed care health plans enroll members through their employers in connection with federal Medicare benefits or state Medicaid programs. As a result of the prevalence of these health plans, many seniors now becoming eligible for Medicare have been interacting with managed care companies through their employers for the last 30 years. Individuals now turning 65 are likely more familiar with the managed care setting than previous Medicare populations. The healthcare industry, however, is highly regulated by various government agencies and heavily relies on reimbursement and payments from government-sponsored programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Companies in the healthcare industry, therefore, have to organize, operate around, and face challenges from idiosyncratic laws and regulations.

Many health plans recognize both the opportunity for growth from adding members, as well as the potential risks and costs associated with managing additional members. In California, many health plans subcontract a significant portion of the responsibility for managing patient care to an integrated health network such as Astrana and our affiliated physician groups. These integrated healthcare systems offer a comprehensive medical delivery system, sophisticated care management know-how, and infrastructure to more efficiently provide for the healthcare needs of the population enrolled with that health plan. While reimbursement models for these arrangements vary around the U.S., health plans often prospectively pay the integrated healthcare system a fixed capitation payment, which is frequently based on a percentage of the amount received by the health plan. In the aggregate, capitation payments to integrated healthcare systems represent a prospective budget from which the system manages the care-related expenses on behalf of the population enrolled with that system. To the extent that these systems manage such expenses under the capitated levels, the system realizes an operating profit. On the other hand, if the expenses exceed projected levels, the system will realize an operating deficit. Since premiums paid represent a substantial amount per person, there is a significant revenue opportunity for an integrated health network that is able to effectively manage healthcare costs for the capitated arrangements entered into by its affiliated physician groups.

Industry Trends and Demand Drivers

We believe that the healthcare industry is undergoing a significant transformation, and the demand for our offerings is driven by the confluence of a number of fundamental healthcare industry trends, including:

Shift to Value-Based and Results-Oriented Models. According to the 2023 National Health Expenditure Historical Data prepared by CMS, healthcare spending in the U.S. increased by 7.5% to $4.9 trillion in 2023, representing 17.6% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product. CMS projects healthcare spending in the U.S. to increase at an average rate of 5.6% for 2023-2032 and to reach approximately $7.7 trillion by 2032. To address this expected significant rise in healthcare costs, the U.S. healthcare market is seeking more efficient and effective methods of delivering care. The FFS reimbursement model has arguably played a major role in increasing the level and growth rate of healthcare spending. In response, the public and private sectors are shifting away from the FFS reimbursement model toward value-based, capitated payment models designed to incentivize value and quality at an individual patient level. The number of Americans covered by capitated payment programs continues to increase, which drives more coordinated and outcomes-based patient care.

12

Increasingly Patient-Centered. More patients are becoming actively involved and taking an informed role in how their healthcare is delivered, resulting in the healthcare marketplace becoming increasingly patient-centered, and thus requiring providers to deliver team-based, coordinated, and accessible care to stay competitive.

Added Complexity. In the healthcare space, more sophisticated technology has been employed, new diagnostics and treatments have been introduced, research and development have expanded, and regulations have multiplied. This expanding complexity drives a growing and continuous need for integrated care delivery systems.

Integration of Healthcare Information. Across the healthcare landscape, a significant amount of data is created daily, driven by patient care, payment systems, regulatory compliance, and record keeping. As the amount of healthcare data continues to grow; it becomes increasingly important to connect disparate data and apply insights in a targeted manner in order to better achieve the goals of higher quality and more efficient care.

Our Revenue Streams

Our revenue reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes revenue generated by our subsidiaries and consolidated entities. Our revenue streams are diversified among our various operations and multi-year renewable contractual arrangements as follows:

•
Capitation revenue;
•
Risk pool settlements and incentives;
•
Management fee income; and
•
FFS revenue.

Capitation Revenue

Our capitation revenue consists primarily of capitated fees for medical services we provide under capitated arrangements made directly with various managed care providers, including HMOs. Under the capitated model, an HMO pays the IPA a capitation payment and assigns it the responsibility for providing physician services required by patients. The IPA physicians are exclusively in control of, and responsible for, all aspects of the practice of medicine for enrolled patients. Capitation revenue for our Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan consists of “global” capitation arrangements whereby the Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan accepts financial risk for hospital and other institutional services in addition to professional medical services (whereas IPA capitation contracts are typically limited to accepting financial risk for professional medical services). Most HMO agreements have an initial term of two years, renewing automatically for successive one-year terms. The HMO agreements generally allow either party to terminate the HMO agreements without cause, typically with a four to six months advance notice and provide for a termination for cause by the HMO at any time.

Capitation revenue is typically prepaid monthly to us based on the number of enrollees selecting us as their healthcare provider. Capitation is a fixed payment amount per patient per unit of time paid in advance for the delivery of healthcare services, whereby the service providers are generally liable for excess medical costs. The actual amount paid is determined by the range of services provided, the number of patients enrolled, and the period of time during which the services are provided. Capitation rates are generally based on local costs and average utilization of services. Because Medicare pays capitation using a “Risk Adjustment” model, which compensates managed care providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual enrollee, managed care providers with higher acuity enrollees receive more, and those with lower acuity enrollees receive less, capitation that can be allocated to service providers. Under the Risk Adjustment model, capitation is paid on an interim basis based on enrollee data submitted for the preceding year and is adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled.

13

PMPM-managed care contracts generally have a term of one year or longer. All managed care contracts have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series for the provision of managed healthcare services for a population of enrolled members for the duration of the contract. The transaction price for PMPM contracts is variable, as it primarily includes PMPM fees associated with unspecified membership that fluctuates throughout the contract term. In certain contracts, PMPM fees also include adjustments for items such as performance incentives, performance guarantees, and risk shares.

Through our ACOs, we participate in the Global Risk track with Total Care Capitation (“TCC”) in the ACO REACH Model sponsored by CMS. Under the ACO REACH Model, we recruit 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 “Aligned Beneficiaries”). Our Aligned Beneficiaries will receive services from physicians and other medical service providers that are both in-network and out-of-network. Under TCC, CMS estimates an average of in-network monthly expenditures for our ACOs’ Aligned Beneficiaries and pays that projected amount to us in monthly installments. We are then responsible for paying our in-network providers for all Medicare-covered services provided to our Aligned Beneficiaries by those providers. In addition, we 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. Claims from out-of-network providers are processed and paid by CMS. Our shared savings or losses in managing our beneficiaries are generally determined annually after reconciliation with CMS. Pursuant to our risk-share agreement with CMS, we are eligible to receive the surplus (shared savings) or are liable for the deficit (shared losses) according to the budgetary benchmark established by CMS based on our efficiency, or lack thereof, in managing the expenditures associated with our Aligned Beneficiaries. Using the most recent data from CMS, the Company estimates the potential savings or deficit for the performance year. We also recognize the budgetary benchmark established by CMS, net of any ACO REACH program discounts and adjustments, as revenue. The risk track we elect with CMS determines our maximum shared savings or losses. Under the Global Risk track, we are responsible for 100% of shared savings or losses up to 25% of the total budgetary benchmark established by CMS, with adjusted risk corridors taking effect for any proportion of shared savings / losses exceeding 25% of the benchmark—for savings/losses of 25–35% of the benchmark, we assume 50% risk responsibility, for savings/losses 35%–50% of the benchmark we assume 25% of the risk responsibility, and for savings/losses exceeding 50% of the benchmark, we assume only 10% of the risk responsibility. We recognize revenue related to the ACO Reach Model within capitation revenue in our consolidated statements of income because of the similar shared characteristics to our other capitation revenue. Revenue is recorded on a gross basis and is comprised of capitated fees for medical services provided, for which the Company is assigned the responsibility and management of.

Risk Pool Settlements and Incentives

Our affiliated IPAs may enter into hospital shared-risk capitation arrangements with certain health plans and local hospitals, where the hospital is responsible for providing, arranging, and paying for institutional risk. The IPA is responsible for providing, arranging, and paying for professional risk. Under a hospital shared-risk pool-sharing agreement, we generally receive a percentage of the net surplus from the affiliated hospital’s risk pools with HMOs after deductions for the affiliated hospital’s costs. In contrast, deficits, if any, are not payable until and unless (and only to the extent) risk-sharing surpluses are generated. At the termination of the hospital shared-risk pool-sharing agreement, any accumulated deficit will be extinguished. Advance settlement payments are typically made quarterly in arrears if there is a surplus. Risk pool settlements under arrangements with health plans and hospitals are recognized using the most likely amount methodology, and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. The receivables related to these risk pool arrangements incorporate estimates of the affiliated hospitals’ claims costs, including IBNR claims which include actuarial methods based on utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors.

14

Under capitation arrangements with certain HMOs, our affiliated IPAs may participate in one or more health plan shared-risk arrangements relating to providing institutional services to enrollees (health plan shared-risk arrangements). They thus can earn additional revenue or incur losses based upon the enrollee utilization of institutional services. Health plan shared-risk capitation arrangements are entered into with certain health plans, which are administered by the health plan, where we are responsible for rendering professional services, but the health plan does not enter into a capitation arrangement with a hospital and therefore, the health plan retains the institutional risk. Health plan shared-risk deficits, if any, are not payable until and unless (and only to the extent of any) risk-sharing surpluses are generated. At the termination of the HMO contract, any accumulated deficit will be extinguished. The Company has limited insight from the health plans on the amount and timing of the health plan shared-risk payments. These amounts are considered to be fully constrained and only recorded when such payments can be reasonably estimated and to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur once such settlement occurs.

In addition to risk-sharing revenues, we also receive incentives under “pay-for-performance” programs for quality medical care, based on various criteria. As an incentive to promote quality care, certain HMOs have designed quality incentive programs and commercial generic pharmacy incentive programs to compensate us for our efforts to improve the quality of services and to promote the efficient and effective use of pharmacy supplemental benefits provided to HMO members. The incentive programs track specific performance measures and calculate payments to us based on the performance measures. The Company’s incentives under “pay-for-performance” programs are recognized using the most likely methodology.

Through our ACOs, we participated in the MSSP for Performance Year 2024. The MSSP has multiple risk tracks, and Astrana currently participates 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 the Company 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, both in-network and out-of-network. CMS continues to pay participants and preferred providers on an FFS 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 annually 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. Due to its similar shared characteristics, we recognize MSSP revenue within risk pool settlements and incentives revenue in our consolidated statements of income and recognize these revenues on a net basis.

Management Fee Income

Management fee income encompasses fees paid for management, physician advisory, healthcare staffing, administrative, and other non-medical services we provide to IPAs, ACOs, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. Our MSOs enter into management service agreements with terms generally ranging from one to ten years, although they may be terminated earlier under the terms of the applicable contracts. Management fees may be in the form of billings at agreed-upon hourly rates, percentages of revenue, or fee collections, amounts fixed on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, or assessed cost recovery based on the specific or allocated expenditures related to the managed entities. The revenue may include variable arrangements measuring factors such as hours staffed, patient visits, or collections per visit against benchmarks, and, in certain cases, may be subject to achieving quality metrics or fee collections.

15

Fee For Service (“FFS”) Revenue

FFS revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which we bill and collect the professional component of charges for medical services rendered by our contracted physicians and employed physicians. Under the FFS arrangements, we bill, and receive payments from, the hospitals and third-party payers for physician staffing and further bill patients or their third-party payers for patient care services provided.

Our Key Payers

A limited number of payers represent a significant portion of our net revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, four payers accounted for an aggregate of 66.2%, 61.7%, and 59.0% of our total net revenue, respectively.

Our Strengths and Advantages

The following are some of the material opportunities that we believe exist for our company:

Combination of Clinical, Administrative and Technology Capabilities

We believe our key strength lies in our combined clinical, administrative, and technology capabilities. While many companies separately provide clinical, MSO, or technology support services, to our knowledge, very few organizations like ours currently provide all three types of services to approximately 1.1 million patients as of December 31, 2024.

Diversification

Through our subsidiaries, consolidated affiliates, and invested entities, we have been able to reduce our business risk and increase revenue opportunities by diversifying our service offerings and expanding our ability to manage patient care across a horizontally integrated care network. Our revenue is spread across our operations. Additionally, with our ability to monitor and manage care within our wide network, we believe we are an attractive business partner to health plans, hospitals, IPAs, and other medical groups seeking to provide better care at lower costs.

Strong Leadership Team

Our leadership team has, collectively, several decades of experience managing physician practices, RBOs, health plans, hospitals, and health systems, a deep understanding of the healthcare marketplace and emerging trends, and a vision for the future of healthcare delivery led by physician-driven healthcare networks.

A Robust Physician Network

As of December 31, 2024, our physician network consisted of over 10,000 contracted physicians, including primary care physicians, specialist physicians, and hospitalists, through our affiliated physician groups and ACOs.

Cultural Affinities with Patients

In addition to delivering premium healthcare, we believe in the importance of providing services sensitive to local communities' needs, including their cultural affinities. This value is shared by physicians within our affiliated IPAs and medical groups, and promotes patient comfort in communicating with care providers.

Long-Standing Relationships with Partners

We have developed long-standing relationships with multiple health plans, hospitals, IPAs, and other medical groups that have helped to generate recurring contractual revenue for us.

16

Comprehensive and Effective Healthcare Management Programs

We offer comprehensive and effective healthcare management programs to patients. We have developed expertise in population health management, care coordination, and proper medical coding, resulting in improved Risk Adjustment Factor (“RAF”) scores, higher payments from health plans, and improved quality metrics in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and thus, patient satisfaction and CMS scores. Using our own proprietary risk assessment scoring tool, we have also developed our protocol for identifying high-risk patients.

Competition

The healthcare industry is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete for customers across all of our services with other healthcare management companies, including MSOs and healthcare providers, such as local, regional, and national networks of physicians, medical groups, and hospitals, many of which are substantially larger than us and have significantly greater financial and other resources, including personnel, than we have.

IPAs

Our affiliated IPAs compete with other IPAs, medical groups, and hospitals, many of which have greater finances, personnel, and other resources. In the greater Los Angeles area, such competitors include Regal Medical Group and Lakeside Medical Group, which are part of Heritage Provider Network (“Heritage”), as well as Optum, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.

ACOs

Our ACOs compete with other sophisticated provider groups creating, administrating, and managing ACOs, many of which have greater financial, personnel, and other resources available to them. Major competitors of our ACOs include Privia Health and Aledade.

Outpatient Clinics

Our outpatient clinics compete with large ambulatory surgery centers and/or diagnostic centers such as RadNet and Envision Healthcare, many of which have greater financial, personnel, and other resources, as well as smaller clinics with ties to local communities. Optum (f/k/a HealthCare Partners) also has its own urgent care centers, clinics, and diagnostic centers.

MSOs

Our MSOs compete with other MSOs in providing management, administrative, and other support services. One of such competitors includes Conifer Health Solutions.

17

Regulatory Matters

As a healthcare company, our operations and relationships with healthcare providers, such as hospitals, other healthcare facilities, and healthcare professionals, are subject to extensive and increasing regulation by numerous federal, state, and local government agencies, including the Office of Inspector General, the Department of Justice, CMS, and various state authorities. These laws and regulations are often interpreted broadly and enforced aggressively. Imposing liabilities associated with violating any of these healthcare laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We cannot guarantee that our practices will not be subject to government scrutiny or be found to violate certain healthcare laws. Government investigations and prosecutions, even if we are ultimately found to be without fault, can be costly and disruptive to our business. Moreover, changes in healthcare legislation or government regulation may restrict our existing operations, limit our expansion, or impose additional compliance requirements and costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Below are brief descriptions of some, but not all, of such laws and regulations that affect our business operations. There are many other laws and regulations that impact us; for instance, California has enacted new laws requiring additional disclosure with respect to certain climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions reduction claims. Non-compliance with these new laws may result in the imposition of substantial fines or penalties.

Corporate Practice of Medicine

Our consolidated financial statements include our subsidiaries and VIEs. Some states have laws that prohibit business entities with non-physician owners, such as Astrana and its subsidiaries, from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, or exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. These laws are generally referred to as corporate practice of medicine laws. States that have corporate practice of medicine laws permit only physicians to practice medicine, exercise control over medical decisions, or engage in certain arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians. In these states, a violation of the corporate practice of medicine prohibition constitutes the unlawful practice of medicine, which is a public offense punishable by fines and other criminal penalties. In addition, any physician who participates in a scheme that violates the state’s corporate practice of medicine prohibition may be punished (including limitation or loss of license) for aiding and abetting a lay entity in the unlawful practice of medicine.

California, Nevada and Texas are corporate practice of medicine states, and we operate by maintaining long-term MSAs with our 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. Under such MSAs, our wholly owned MSOs are contracted to provide non-medical management and administrative services, such as financial and risk management, as well as information systems, marketing, and administrative support to the IPAs and medical groups. The MSAs typically have an initial term of one to thirty years and are generally not terminable by our affiliated IPAs and medical groups except in cases of bankruptcy, gross negligence, fraud, or other illegal acts by the contracting MSO.

Through the MSAs and the relationship with the physician owners of our medical affiliates, we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decisions related to the ongoing business operations of those affiliates. Consequently, Astrana consolidates the revenue and expenses of such affiliates as their primary beneficiary from the date of execution of the applicable MSA. When necessary, our Vice Chairman of the Board, Dr. Thomas Lam, or a locally-licensed physician (where State laws require a physician licensed in that State) serves as nominee shareholder of affiliated medical practices on Astrana’s behalf, in order to comply with corporate practice of medicine laws and certain accounting rules applicable to consolidated financial reporting by our affiliates as VIEs. In Texas, a nonprofit health organization meeting certain criteria and approved by the Texas Medical Board is an alternative structure for compliance with corporate practice of medicine laws.

18

Under these arrangements, our MSOs perform only non-medical functions, do not represent to offer medical services, and do not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine by physicians. The Medical Board of California, as well as other states’ regulatory bodies, has taken the position that MSAs that confer too much control over a physician practice to MSOs may violate the prohibition against corporate practice of medicine. Recent case law in Texas indicates that courts there will still enforce corporate practice of medicine restrictions against MSOs and other non-physician entities to protect physician’s professional prerogatives. Some of the relevant laws, regulations, and agency interpretations in California and other states that have corporate practice prohibitions have been subject to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation. Moreover, state laws and regulatory interpretations are subject to change. Other parties, including our affiliated physicians, may assert that, despite these arrangements, Astrana and its subsidiaries are engaged in the prohibited corporate practice of medicine or that such arrangements constitute unlawful fee-splitting between physicians and non-physicians. If this occurred, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, our MSAs could be found legally invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part, and we could be required to restructure arrangements with our affiliated IPAs and medical groups. If we were required to change our operating structures due to determination that a corporate practice of medicine violation existed, such a restructuring might require revising our MSOs’ management fees.

False Claims Acts

The False Claims Act imposes civil liability on individuals or entities that submit false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government. The False Claims Act provides, in part, that the federal government may bring a lawsuit against any person whom it believes has knowingly or recklessly presented, or caused to be presented, a false or fraudulent request for payment from the federal government, or who has made a false statement or used a false record to get a claim for payment approved. Private parties may initiate qui tam whistleblower lawsuits against any person or entity under the False Claims Act in the name of the federal government and may share in the proceeds of a successful suit. The federal government has used the False Claims Act to prosecute a wide variety of alleged false claims and fraud allegedly perpetrated against Medicare and state healthcare programs. By way of illustration, these prosecutions may be based upon alleged coding errors, billing for services not rendered, billing services at a higher payment rate than appropriate, and billing for care that is not considered medically necessary. The federal government has also pursued False Claims Act investigations against providers who retain Medicare overpayments for more than 60 days after the overpayment was identified. New regulations promulgated in 2024 provided additional detail regarding the investigation and identification of an overpayment. The federal government and several courts have taken the position that claims presented in violation of certain other statutes, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or the Stark Law, can also be considered a violation of the False Claims Act based on the theory that a provider impliedly certifies compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and other rules when submitting claims for reimbursement.

Penalties for False Claims Act violations include substantial fines for each false claim, plus up to three times the amount of damages sustained by the government. A False Claims Act violation may provide the basis for the imposition of administrative penalties as well as exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. In addition to the provisions of the False Claims Act, which provide for civil enforcement, the federal government can also use several criminal statutes to prosecute persons who are alleged to have submitted false or fraudulent claims to the government for payments.

A number of states, including the states in which we operate, have enacted laws that are similar to the federal False Claims Act. Under Section 6031 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (“DRA”), as amended, if a state enacts a false claims act that is at least as stringent as the federal statute and that also meets certain other requirements, the state will be eligible to receive a greater share of any monetary recovery obtained pursuant to certain actions brought under the state’s false claims act. As a result, several states have adopted, and more states are expected to enact laws similar to the federal False Claims Act, along with an expected corresponding increase in state false claims enforcement efforts. In addition, Section 6032 of the DRA requires entities that make or receive annual Medicaid payments of $5.0 million or more from any one state to provide their employees, contractors, and agents with written policies and employee handbook materials on federal and state false claims acts and related statutes.

Anti-Kickback Statutes

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute is a provision of the Social Security Act of 1972 that prohibits as a felony offense the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation, or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, (1) the referral of a patient for items or services for which payment may be made in whole or part under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs, (2) the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs, or (3) the purchase, lease, or order or arranging or recommending the purchasing, leasing, or ordering of any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) amended section 1128B of the Social Security Act to make it clear that a person need not have actual knowledge of the statute, or specific intent to violate the statute, as a predicate for a violation. The Office of Inspector General (“OIG”), which has the authority to impose administrative sanctions for violation of the statute, has adopted as its standard for review a judicial interpretation, which concludes that the statute prohibits any arrangement where even one purpose of the remuneration is to induce or reward referrals. A violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony punishable by imprisonment, criminal fines, civil fines, and three times the amount of the unlawful remuneration. A violation also can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs. In addition, pursuant to the changes of the ACA, a claim that includes items or services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a false claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

Due to the breadth of the Anti-Kickback Statute’s broad prohibitions, statutory exceptions exist that protect certain arrangements from prosecution. In addition, the OIG has published safe harbor regulations that specify arrangements that are deemed protected from prosecution under the Anti-Kickback Statute, provided all applicable criteria are met. The failure of an activity to meet all of the applicable safe harbor criteria does not necessarily mean that the particular arrangement violates the Anti-Kickback Statute, but these arrangements may be subject to scrutiny and prosecution by enforcement agencies. We may be less willing than some competitors to take action or enter into arrangements that do not clearly satisfy the OIG safe harbors and suffer a competitive disadvantage.

On December 2, 2020, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (“HHS”) Regulatory Sprint to Coordinated Care, the OIG finalized modifications to existing safe harbors to the Anti-Kickback Statute and added new safe harbors and a new exception to the civil monetary penalty provision prohibiting inducements to beneficiaries, the purpose of which was to remove potential barriers to more effective coordination and management of patient care and delivery of value-based care. The changes implemented by the final rules went into effect on January 19, 2021. These or other changes implemented by OIG in the future may impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Some states, including the states in which we operate, have enacted statutes and regulations similar to the Anti-Kickback Statute, but which may be applicable regardless of the payer source for the patient. These state laws may contain exceptions and safe harbors that are different from and/or more limited than those of the federal law and that may vary from state to state. For example, California has adopted the Physician Ownership and Referral Act of 1993 (“PORA”). PORA makes it unlawful for physicians, surgeons, and other licensed professionals to refer a person for certain healthcare services if they have a financial interest with the person or entity that receives the referral. While PORA also provides certain exemptions from this prohibition, failure to fit within an exemption in violation of PORA can lead to a misdemeanor offense that may subject a physician to civil penalties and disciplinary action by the Medical Board of California.

20

For example, Section 445 of the California Health and Safety Code provides that “no person, firm, partnership, association or corporation, or agent or employee thereof, shall for profit refer or recommend a person to a physician, hospital, health-related facility, or dispensary for any form of medical care or treatment of any ailment or physical condition. The imposition of a fee or charge of any such referral or recommendation creates a presumption that the referral or recommendation is for profit.” A violation of Section 445 is a misdemeanor and may subject the offender to imprisonment and/or monetary fines. Further, the California Attorney General may enjoin a violation of Section 445. Section 650 of the California Business and Professions Code contains prohibitions against self-referral and kickbacks. Business & Professions Code Section 650 makes it unlawful for a “licensee,” including a physician, to pay or receive any compensation or inducement for referring patients, clients, or customers to any person or entity, irrespective of any membership or proprietary interest in or with the person or entity receiving the referral. Violation of the statute is a public offense punishable by imprisonment and/or monetary fines. Section 650 further provides that it is not unlawful for a physician to refer a patient to a healthcare facility solely because the physician has a proprietary interest or co-ownership in a healthcare facility, provided that (1) the physician’s return on investment for that proprietary interest or co-ownership is based upon the amount of capital investment or proportional ownership of the physician; and (2) the ownership interest is not based on the number or value of any patients referred. A violation of Section 650 is a misdemeanor and may subject the offender to imprisonment and/or monetary fines.

We cannot assure that the applicable regulatory authorities will not determine that some of our arrangements with physicians violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or other applicable laws. An adverse determination could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other healthcare programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Antitrust Laws

The federal government and most states have enacted antitrust laws that prohibit certain types of conduct deemed to be anti-competitive. These laws prohibit price fixing, market allocation, concerted refusal to deal, market monopolization, price discrimination, tying arrangements, acquisitions of competitors, and other practices that have, or may have, an adverse effect on competition. Violations of federal or state antitrust laws can result in various sanctions, including criminal and civil penalties. Antitrust enforcement in the healthcare industry is currently a priority of the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice. A review or action by regulatory authorities or the courts that is negative in nature as to the relationship between us and the physician groups or IPAs that we manage or contract with could force us to terminate those contractual relationships. We believe we are in compliance with such federal and state laws, but courts or regulatory authorities may reach a determination in the future that could adversely affect our operations.

Stark Laws

The federal Stark Law, also known as the physician self-referral law, generally prohibits a physician from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to an entity (including hospitals) providing “designated health services” if the physician or a member of the physician’s immediate family has a “financial relationship” with the entity, unless a specific exception applies. Designated health services include, among other services, inpatient hospital services, outpatient prescription drug services, clinical laboratory services, certain imaging services (e.g., MRI, CT, ultrasound), and other services that our affiliated physicians may order for their patients. The prohibition applies regardless of the reasons for the financial relationship and the referral, and therefore, unlike the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, intent to violate the law is not required. Like the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law contains statutory and regulatory exceptions intended to protect certain types of transactions and arrangements. Unlike safe harbors under the Anti-Kickback Statute, with which compliance is voluntary, an arrangement must comply with every requirement of a Stark Law exception or the arrangement is in violation of the Stark Law.

21

Because the Stark Law and implementation regulations continue to evolve and are detailed and complex, while we attempt to structure our relationships to meet an exception to the Stark Law, there can be no assurance that the arrangements entered into by us with affiliated physicians and facilities will be found to be in compliance with the Stark Law, as it ultimately may be implemented or interpreted. The penalties for violating the Stark Law can include the denial of payment for services ordered in violation of the statute, mandatory refunds of any sums paid for such services, and civil penalties for each violation, double damages, and possible exclusion from future participation in the governmental healthcare programs. A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law’s prohibitions may face substantial fines for each applicable arrangement or scheme.

On December 2, 2020, in conjunction with HHS’s Regulatory Sprint to Coordinated Care, CMS issued a final rule intended to address the regulatory impact and burden of the Stark Law that impeded the healthcare system’s move toward value-based reimbursement. CMS added new exceptions to attempt to address potential barriers to coordinated care and value-based care. The changes implemented by the final rules went into effect on January 19, 2021. These or other changes implemented by CMS in the future may impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Some states, including the states in which we operate, have enacted statutes and regulations against self-referral arrangements similar to the federal Stark Law, but which may be applicable to the referral of patients regardless of their payer source and which may apply to different types of services. These state laws may contain statutory and regulatory exceptions that are different from those of the federal law and that may vary from state to state. For example, California has adopted PORA, which makes it unlawful for physicians, surgeons, and other licensed professionals to refer a person for certain healthcare services if they have a financial interest with the person or entity that receives the referral. While PORA also provides certain exemptions from this prohibition, failure to fit within an exemption in violation of PORA can lead to a misdemeanor offense that may subject a physician to civil penalties and disciplinary action by the Medical Board of California.

An adverse determination under these state laws and/or the federal Stark Law could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other healthcare programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

With regards to both the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute, there is significant uncertainty regarding how the US Supreme Court’s holding in Loper Bright (as defined below) (which ended so-called “Chevron deference” to agencies regarding their interpretation of federal statutes) will affect agency rules and sub-regulatory guidance as they apply to federal and state investigations related to healthcare fraud.

Health Information Privacy and Security Standards

The privacy regulations promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended, contain detailed requirements concerning the use and disclosure of individually identifiable patient health information (“PHI”) by entities like our MSOs and affiliated IPAs and medical groups. HIPAA-covered entities must implement certain administrative, physical, and technical security standards to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of certain electronic health information received, maintained, or transmitted. HIPAA also implemented standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including billing and claim collection activities. New health information standards could have a significant effect on the manner in which we do business, and the cost of complying with new standards could be significant.

Violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules may result in civil and criminal penalties, including a tiered system of civil money penalties. A HIPAA-covered entity must also promptly notify affected individuals where a breach affects more than 500 individuals and report annually any breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals.

22

State attorneys general may bring civil actions on behalf of state residents for violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules, obtain damages on behalf of state residents, and enjoin further violations. Many states also have laws that protect the privacy and security of confidential, personal information, which may be similar to or even more stringent than HIPAA. Where applicable state laws are more protective than HIPAA, we are required to comply with the stricter provisions. Some of these state laws may impose fines and penalties on violators and may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. California’s patient privacy laws, for example, provide for monetary penalties and permit injured parties to sue for damages. Both state and federal laws are subject to modification or enhancement of privacy protection at any time.

In January 2025, the Office of Civil Rights published a proposed rule that would substantially rewrite the HIPAA Security Rule, including significant tightening of rules and updating the application of rules for new technologies.

If we fail to comply with HIPAA or similar state laws, we could incur substantial civil, monetary, or criminal penalties. We expect increased federal and state privacy and security enforcement efforts.

Knox-Keene Act and State Insurance Laws

The Knox-Keene Act is the California law that regulates managed care plans. Neither our MSOs nor their managed medical groups and IPAs hold a Knox-Keene license. Some of the medical groups and IPAs that have entered into MSAs with our MSOs have historically contracted with health plans and other payers to receive capitation payments and assumed the financial responsibility for professional services. In many of these cases, the health plans or other payers separately enter into contracts with hospitals that receive payments and assume some type of contractual financial responsibility for their institutional services. In some instances, our affiliated medical groups and IPAs have been paid by their contracting payers or hospitals for the financial outcome of managing the care costs associated with both the professional and institutional services received by patients, and have recognized a percentage of the surplus of institutional revenues less institutional expense as the medical groups’ and IPAs’ net revenues; and, under certain circumstances, may be responsible for a percentage of any shortfall in the event that institutional expenses exceed institutional revenues. While our MSOs and their managed medical groups and IPAs are not contractually obligated to pay claims to hospitals or other institutions under these arrangements, if it is determined that our MSOs or the medical groups and IPAs have been inappropriately taking financial risk for institutional and professional services without a Knox-Keene license or regulatory exemption as a result of their hospital and physician arrangements, we may be required to obtain a restricted Knox-Keene license to resolve such violations and we could be subject to civil and criminal liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

In addition, some states require ACOs to be registered or otherwise comply with state insurance laws. Our ACOs are not registered with any state insurance agency. If it is determined that we have been inappropriately operating an ACO without state registration or licensure, we may be required to obtain such registration or licensure to resolve such violations, and we could be subject to liability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations

We are subject to federal, state, and local regulations governing the storage, use, and disposal of waste materials and products. Although we believe that our safety procedures for storing, handling, and disposing of these materials and products comply with the standards prescribed by law and regulation, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from those hazardous materials. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any liability could exceed the limits or fall outside the coverage of our insurance policies, which we may not be able to maintain on acceptable terms, or at all. We could incur significant costs and the attention of our management could be diverted to comply with current or future environmental laws and regulations. Federal regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration impose additional requirements on us, including those protecting employees from exposure to elements such as blood-borne pathogens. We cannot predict the frequency of compliance, monitoring, or enforcement actions to which we may be subject as those regulations are being implemented, which could adversely affect our operations.

23

Other Federal and State Healthcare Laws

We are also subject to other federal and state healthcare laws that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The Health Care Fraud Statute prohibits any person from knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, which can be either a government or private payer plan. Violation of this statute, even in the absence of actual knowledge of or specific intent to violate the statute, may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. The Health Care False Statement Statute prohibits, in any matter involving a federal healthcare program, anyone from knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing, or covering up, by any trick, scheme, or device, a material fact, or making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation, or making or using any materially false writing or document knowing that it contains a materially false or fraudulent statement. A violation of this statute may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. Under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law of the Social Security Act, a person (including an organization) is prohibited from knowingly presenting or causing to be presented to any United States officer, employee, agent, department, or any state agency a claim for payment for medical or other items or services where the person knows or should know (a) the items or services were not provided as described in the coding of the claim, (b) the claim is a false or fraudulent claim, (c) the claim is for a service furnished by an unlicensed physician, (d) the claim is for medical or other items or service furnished by a person or an entity that is in a period of exclusion from the program, or (e) the items or services are medically unnecessary items or services. Violations of the law may result in substantial penalties, treble damages, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs. In addition, the OIG may impose civil monetary penalties against any physician who knowingly accepts payment from a hospital (as well as against the hospital making the payment) as an inducement to reduce or limit medically necessary services provided to Medicare or Medicaid program beneficiaries. Further, except as permitted under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, a person who offers or transfers to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary any remuneration that the person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider of Medicare or Medicaid payable items or services may be liable for civil money penalties for each wrongful act.

In addition to the state laws previously described, we may also be subject to other state fraud and abuse statutes and regulations as we expand our operations beyond California, including into Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Hawaii, Nevada and Texas. Many states have adopted a form of anti-kickback law, self-referral prohibition, and false claims and insurance fraud prohibition. The scope and interpretations of these laws vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion. Generally, state laws reach all healthcare services, not just those covered under a governmental healthcare program. Determining liability under any of these laws could result in fines, penalties, and restrictions on our ability to operate in these states. We cannot assure that our arrangements or business practices will not be subject to government scrutiny or be found to violate applicable fraud and abuse laws.

24

Licensure, Certification, Accreditation, and Related Laws and Guidelines

Our clinical personnel are subject to numerous federal, state, and local licensing laws and regulations relating to, among other things, professional credentialing and professional ethics. Clinical professionals are also subject to state and federal regulations regarding prescribing medication and controlled substances. Our affiliated physicians and hospitalists must satisfy and maintain their individual professional licensing in each state where they practice medicine, including California, and many states require that nurse practitioners and physician assistants work in collaboration with or under the supervision of a physician. Each state defines the scope of practice of clinical professionals through legislation and through the respective Boards of Medicine and Nursing. Activities that qualify as professional misconduct under state law may subject our clinical personnel to sanctions or to even lose their license and could potentially subject us to sanctions as well. Some state boards of medicine impose reciprocal discipline—that is, if a physician is disciplined for having committed professional misconduct in one state where they are licensed, another state where they are also licensed may impose the same discipline even though the conduct occurred in another state. Since we and our affiliated medical groups perform services at hospitals and other healthcare facilities, we may indirectly be subject to laws, ethical guidelines, and operating standards of professional trade associations and private accreditation commissions (such as the American Medical Association and The Joint Commission) applicable to those entities. Penalties for non-compliance with these laws and standards include loss of professional license, civil or criminal fines and penalties, loss of hospital admitting privileges, and exclusion from participation in various governmental and other third-party healthcare programs. In addition, our affiliated facilities are subject to state and local licensing regulations ranging from the adequacy of medical care to compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. Our ability to operate profitably will depend, in part, upon our ability, and the ability of our affiliated physicians and facilities, to obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and other approvals and operate in compliance with applicable healthcare and other laws and regulations that evolve rapidly. We provide home health, hospice, and palliative care, which require compliance with additional regulatory requirements. Reimbursement for palliative care and house call services is generally conditioned on clinical professionals providing the correct procedure and diagnosis codes and properly documenting both the service and the medical necessity for the service. Incorrect or incomplete documentation and billing information, or the incorrect selection of codes for the level and type of service provided, could result in non-payment for services rendered or lead to allegations of billing fraud. We must also comply with laws relating to hospice care eligibility, development, and maintenance of care plans, and coordination with nursing homes or assisted living facilities where patients live.

Professional Liability and Other Insurance Coverage

Our business has an inherent and significant risk of claims of medical malpractice against us and our affiliated physicians. We and our affiliated physician groups pay premiums for third-party professional liability insurance that provides indemnification on a claims-made basis for losses incurred related to medical malpractice litigation in order to carry out our operations. Our physicians are required to carry first-dollar coverage with limits of liability equal to not less than $1.0 million for claims based on occurrence up to an aggregate of $3.0 million per year. Our IPAs purchase stop-loss insurance, which will reimburse them for claims from service providers on a per-enrollee basis. The specific retention amount per enrollee per policy period is $45,000 to $0.3 million for professional coverage. We also maintain workers’ compensation, director and officer, and other third-party insurance coverage subject to deductibles and other restrictions that we believe are in accordance with industry standards. While we believe that our insurance coverage is adequate based upon claims experience and the nature and risks of our business, we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of pending or future claims asserted against us or our affiliated physician groups in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable. The ultimate resolution of pending and future claims in excess of our insurance coverage may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

It em 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7, and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. Although the risks are organized by headings and each risk is discussed separately, many are interrelated. Disclosures of risks should not be interpreted to imply that the risks have not already materialized, and the risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we face. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, discussed in more detail in the following section. These include, among others, the following key risks:

•
We are subject to a variety of risks relating to the proposed Transaction, including a material increase in our indebtedness in order to finance the Transaction.
•
We may need to raise additional capital to grow, which might not be available.
•
We could be negatively impacted by uncertain or adverse economic conditions and/or public health crises.
•
Potential changes in laws, accounting principles, and regulations related to VIEs could impact our consolidation of total revenues derived from our affiliated physician groups.
•
The arrangements we have with our VIEs are not as secure as direct ownership of such entities.
•
We currently derive a substantial portion of our revenues in California and are vulnerable to changes in that state.
•
Our business strategy involves acquisitions and strategic partnerships, which can be costly, risky, and complex.
•
The Company’s complex legal structure may cause tax authorities to question our tax filing status. The Company can be adversely impacted if a tax authority does not agree with our position.
•
We may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, and the nature of our business and rapid changes in the healthcare industry make it difficult to reliably predict future growth and operating results.
•
We could experience significant losses under capitation contracts if our expenses exceed revenues.

26

•
If our agreements with affiliated physician groups are deemed invalid or are terminated under applicable law, our results of operations and financial condition will be materially impaired.
•
Our revenues and operations are dependent on a limited number of key payers.
•
We may be impacted by a shift in payer mix, including eligibility changes to government and private insurance programs.
•
Many of our agreements with hospitals and medical groups have limited durations, may be terminated without cause by them, and prohibit us from acquiring physicians or patients from or competing with them.
•
The healthcare industry is intensely regulated at the federal, state, and local levels, and government authorities may determine that we fail to comply with applicable laws or regulations and take action against us. In addition, changes to federal, state, and local healthcare law, including the ACA and/or the adoption of a primarily publicly funded healthcare system, may negatively impact our business.
•
We are also subject to laws and regulations not specifically targeting the healthcare industry, compliance with which could require significant expenditures, and failing to comply with such laws could result in sanctions and penalties.
•
The success of our emphasis on the ACO REACH Model, or any CMS or Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Innovation Center (“CMMI”) sponsored model, is not guaranteed, due to political risks, uncertainties of administration, program economics, the requirement of the Company to maintain significant capital reserves, and the possibility that the ACO REACH Program will not be expanded beyond 2025. We are also subject to similar risks related to our participation in MSSP.
•
Laws regulating the corporate practice of medicine could restrict the manner in which we are permitted to conduct our business and the failure to comply with such laws could subject us to penalties and restructuring.
•
We may be materially impacted by breaches or compromises of our information security systems and are subject to additional risks related to technology and data privacy, including our use of artificial intelligence.
•
Controls imposed by Medicare, Medicaid, and private payers designed to reduce inpatient services and associated costs may reduce our revenues.
•
If our affiliated physician groups or risk bearing entities are not able to satisfy applicable state regulations related to financial solvency and operational performance, they could become subject to sanctions, and their ability to do business in the states in which they are operating could be limited or terminated.
•
We may face lawsuits not covered by insurance and related expenses may be material.
•
Risks related to ownership of our common stock.

27

Risks Relating to the Proposed Transaction.

The Transaction is subject to conditions, some or all of which may not be satisfied, and the Transaction may not be completed on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Transaction in a timely manner or at all could have adverse effects on the Company.

There can be no assurance that the proposed Transaction will occur in a timely manner, or at all. The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, receipt of applicable regulatory and governmental approvals, which make the completion and timing of the completion of the Transaction uncertain. Also, either party may terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Transaction has not been consummated by August 8, 2025 (provided, that if certain required regulatory approvals have not been met by such date, then the Sellers may extend such date for up to an additional three months), except that this right to terminate the Purchase Agreement is not available to any party that has materially breached any provision of the Purchase Agreement, where such breach has resulted in the failure of certain conditions to closing the Purchase Agreement to be satisfied. In addition, on January 11, 2025, Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. Certain businesses and assets of Prospect being acquired by the Company are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the timing of the proposed acquisition could be impacted by the bankruptcy filing and the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of relevant aspects thereof. The Company cannot provide any assurance that the Transaction will close in a timely manner, or at all.

If the Transaction is not completed, our ongoing business, financial condition, financial results, and stock price may be materially adversely affected. Without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Transaction, we will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

•
the market price of our common stock could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Transaction will be completed;
•
if the Purchase Agreement is terminated and we seek another acquisition, our stockholders cannot be certain that we will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms of the Purchase Agreement;
•
time and resources committed by our management to matters relating to the Transaction could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities for the Company;
•
we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or our customers, suppliers or employees;
•
we will be required to pay our costs relating to the Transaction, such as legal, accounting, and financial advisory fees, whether or not the Transaction is completed; and
•
litigation related to any failure to complete the Transaction or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The materialization of any of these risks could adversely impact our ongoing business, financial condition, financial results, and stock price. Similarly, delays in the completion of the Transaction could, among other things, result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenue, or other negative effects associated with uncertainty about completion of the Transaction.

Financing the Transaction will result in an increase in our indebtedness, which could adversely affect us, including by decreasing our business flexibility and increasing our interest expense.

To provide additional financial flexibility for the Company, in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Truist Bank, which, among other things, provides for a five-year delayed draw term loan credit facility of $745.0 million, which will be used to finance the Transaction.

28

This increase in our indebtedness may, among other things, reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions or to fund capital expenditures or working capital needs. In addition, the amount of cash required to pay interest on our increased indebtedness, and thus the demands on our cash resources, will materially increase as a result of the indebtedness to finance the Transaction. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various events of default (including failure to comply with the covenants under agreement), and, upon an event of default, the lenders could declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit or require us to seek amendments that would provide for terms more favorable to our lenders, which we may have to accept under the circumstances. The lenders could also foreclose on the secured collateral under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

We may not achieve the intended benefits of the Transaction, and the Transaction could disrupt or have a material adverse effect on our current plans, business or results of operations.

There can be no assurance that, following completion of the Transaction, we will be able to successfully integrate the acquired operations or otherwise realize the expected benefits of the Transaction (including operating and other cost synergies). Difficulties in integrating the acquired operations into the Company may result in the Company performing differently than expected, in operational challenges, or in the failure to realize anticipated run-rate cost synergies and efficiencies in the expected timeframe or at all, in which case the anticipated benefits of the Transaction may not be realized fully or may take longer than expected to be realized. Further, it is possible that there could be a loss of our and/or the Sellers’ key employees, disruption of our or the Sellers’ ongoing business or unexpected issues, higher than expected costs and an overall post-completion process that takes longer than originally anticipated. The integration of the acquired operations may result in material challenges, including the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns; retaining key management and other employees; retaining or attracting business and operational relationships; potential negative perceptions of the Transaction by customers, financial markets, or investors; the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process and associated expenses; consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations; coordinating geographically separate organizations; unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications and other systems; and potential unknown liabilities, unforeseen expenses relating to integration, or delays associated with the Transaction. In addition, we could become exposed to legal claims, governmental investigations, or regulatory actions for the activities of the Sellers before the completion of the Transaction. These lawsuits, claims, audits, or investigations, regardless of their merit or outcome, could adversely affect our financial condition, reputation, and ability to expand our business in the future. The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We are acquiring a hospital as part of the Transaction, which is a new business for us and could subject us to additional risks and challenges. Our failure to effectively manage such related risks and challenges could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

As part of the Transaction, we will be acquire a fully accredited acute care hospital based in Tustin, California, that offers various services and programs, including general and specialized surgery, orthopedics and spine surgery, rehabilitation, imaging and radiology, intensive care and skilled nursing. We have no experience owning or operating a hospital and, as a result, may encounter significant operational challenges, including clinical risks, labor shortages, complex reimbursement environments, regulatory compliance relating to hospitals, and competition with other hospitals in the same geographic area. We will also be subject to additional risks related to the hospital, including ensuring the business complies with all applicable laws and regulations and retains necessary certifications. In addition, we may be unable to integrate these new operations with our existing businesses successfully. These risks and challenges could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Risks Relating to Our General Business and Operations.

In 2019, the Company, Astrana Medical, and APC consummated a series of interrelated transactions that may expose the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs to additional risks, including the inability to repay a significant loan in connection with such transactions.

On September 11, 2019, the Company, Astrana Medical, and APC concurrently consummated a series of interrelated transactions (collectively, the “APC Transactions”), which included a $545.0 million ten-year secured loan made by the Company to Astrana Medical, which Astrana Medical used to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of APC. The Company obtained the funds to make the loan to Astrana Medical (i) by entering into a credit agreement with Truist Bank, in its capacity as administrative agent for various lenders, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, for a $290.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement” and the credit facility thereunder, the “Credit Facility”), and then immediately drawing down $250.0 million in cash, and (ii) by selling $300.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock to APC, the purchase price of which was offset against $300.0 million of Astrana Medical’s purchase price for its APC Series A Preferred Stock. AHM guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility. Both the Company and AHM have granted the lenders a security interest in all of their assets, including, without limitation, in all stock and other equity issued by their subsidiaries (including the shares of AHM) and all rights with respect to the loan to Astrana Medical. The Credit Agreement was subsequently amended and restated on June 16, 2021 (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) and, in February 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which, among other things, provides for (a) a five-year revolving credit facility to the Company of $300.0 million, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100.0 million and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million, (b) a five-year term loan A credit facility to the Company of $250.0 million and (c) a five-year delayed draw term loan credit facility to the Company of $745.0 million.

The APC Transactions may expose the Company, its subsidiaries and its VIEs to additional risks, including without limitation, the following: Astrana Medical may never be able to repay the loan from the Company; even if Astrana Medical does not, or cannot repay the loan, the Company will be obligated to pay principal and interest on the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility; the lenders under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility have been granted a first priority perfected security interest over all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, and such lenders have the right to foreclose on those assets if the Company defaults on its obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility; a disconnect could arise between APC achieving net income, declaring and paying dividends to Astrana Medical, and Astrana Medical making its required payments to the Company, which disconnect could materially negatively impact the Company’s financial results and its ability to make its required payments under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility; APC may be prohibited from paying, or may otherwise be unable to pay, the dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, including under the California Corporations Code; regulators could determine that the current, post-APC Transactions consolidated structure amounts to the Company violating California’s corporate practice of medicine doctrine; and the Company may be deemed an investment company, which could impose burdensome compliance requirements on the Company and restrict its future activities.

30

Our failure to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies in the future could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations.

In the future, we may require additional capital to grow our business and may have to raise additional funds by selling equity, issuing debt, borrowing funds, refinancing our existing debt, or selling assets or subsidiaries. We may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, in a timely manner, or at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our security holders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests. If we engage in additional debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios, or restrict our ability to pay dividends or make acquisitions. In addition, the covenants in our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may limit our ability to obtain additional debt or issue additional equity securities, and any failure to adhere to these covenants could result in penalties or defaults that could further restrict our liquidity or limit our ability to obtain financing. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital may be adversely impacted by factors beyond our control, such as the market demand for our securities, the state of financial markets generally, and other relevant factors, including potential worsening global economic conditions resulting from high inflation and interest rates, ongoing supply chain disruptions and shortages, labor shortages and geopolitical conditions, and any disruptions to, or volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide, including those that arise from any economic downturn or recession. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to, among other things, develop and enhance our patient services; continue to expand our organization; hire, train, and retain employees; respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements; or pursue acquisition opportunities.

The Company has a complex legal structure, and tax regulatory authorities may disagree with our positions and conclusions regarding certain tax positions, resulting in unanticipated costs or non-realization of expected benefits.

The Company has a complex legal structure, and a tax authority may disagree with tax positions that we have taken. For example, the Internal Revenue Service or another tax authority could challenge our allocation of income by tax jurisdiction and the amounts paid between our affiliated companies pursuant to our intercompany arrangements and transfer pricing policies, including amounts paid with respect to our legal structure. A tax authority may take the position that material income tax liabilities, interest, and penalties are payable by us, in which case, we could elect to contest such an assessment. Contesting such an assessment may be lengthy and costly. If we were unsuccessful in disputing the assessment, the implications could be materially adverse to us and affect our anticipated effective tax rate or operating income. We could be required to pay substantial penalties and interest where applicable. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for our 2019-2022 tax returns.

Our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes will be subject to limitations.

If a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes arising from before the ownership change are subject to limitations on use after the ownership change. In general, an ownership change occurs if a cumulative change in the corporation’s equity ownership by certain stockholders exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. Ownership changes in the future could result in additional limitations on our net operating loss carryforwards. Consequently, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset our tax liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations.

31

Uncertain or adverse economic conditions could adversely impact us.

The U.S. and global economy, as well as our business and results of operations, may be negatively impacted by a variety of factors, including inflation, high interest rates, supply chain, and labor disruptions, tariffs and other trade barriers or restrictions, decreased consumer spending, unemployment rates, banking instability, political instability or social unrest, reduced federal and state government spending on healthcare programs, geopolitical events and uncertainty, such as the Ukraine-Russia conflict and Israel-Hamas war, any downgrades in the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating, public health crises, and an economic downturn or recession. A downturn in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business prospects, and stock price. Historically, government budget limitations have resulted in reduced spending. Given that Medicaid is a significant component of state budgets, an economic downturn would put continued cost containment pressures on Medicaid outlays for healthcare services, including in California and other states where we operate. The existing federal deficit and continued deficit spending by the federal government could lead to reduced government expenditures, including for government-funded programs in which we participate, such as Medicare. An economic downturn and sustained unemployment may also impact the number of enrollees in managed care programs and the profitability of managed care companies, which could result in reduced reimbursement rates. Although we attempt to stay informed, any sustained failure to identify and respond to these trends could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business, and prospects.

We may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring, and impairment, or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and stock price.

The Company may be forced to write-down or write-off assets in the future, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even though these charges may not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. and may make our future financing difficult to obtain on favorable terms or at all.

From time to time, our intangible assets are subject to impairment testing. Under current accounting standards, our goodwill, including acquired goodwill, is tested for impairment annually and may be subject to impairment losses as circumstances change (e.g., after an acquisition). If we record an impairment loss, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the year in which the impairment is recorded.

32

A prolonged disruption of or any actual or perceived difficulties in the capital and credit markets may adversely affect our future access to capital, our cost of capital, and our ability to continue operations.

Our operations and performance depend primarily on economic conditions in the U.S. and in the states in which we operate, including California, Texas, Connecticut, Maryland, Georgia, Hawaii, and Nevada, and their impact on purchases of, or capitated rates for, our healthcare services, and our business is significantly exposed to risks associated with government spending and private payer reimbursement rates. A number of factors have negatively impacted the economy in recent years, including inflation, high interest rates, supply chain, and labor disruptions, geopolitical events and uncertainty, and declines in consumer and business confidence, as well as private and government spending, together with significant reductions in the availability of and increases in the cost of credit and volatility in the capital and credit markets. Such factors have adversely affected, and could in the future adversely affect, the business and economic environment in which we operate and our profitability and could also adversely affect our patients’ spending habits, private payers’ access to capital, and governmental budgetary processes, which, in turn, could result in reduced revenue for us. The continuation or recurrence of any of these conditions may adversely affect our cash flows, results of operations, and financial condition. As economic uncertainty may continue in future periods, our patients, private payers, and government payers may alter their purchasing activities of healthcare services. Our patients may scale back healthcare spending, and private and government payers may reduce reimbursement rates, which may also cause delay or cancellation of consumer spending for discretionary and non-reimbursed healthcare. This uncertainty may also affect our ability to prepare accurate financial forecasts or meet specific forecasted results, and we may be unable to adequately respond to or forecast further changes in demand for healthcare services. Volatility and disruption of capital and credit markets may adversely affect our access to capital and increase our cost of capital. Should current economic and market conditions deteriorate, our ability to finance ongoing operations and our expansion may be adversely affected, we may be unable to raise necessary funds, our cost of debt or equity capital may increase significantly, and future access to capital markets may be adversely affected.

If there is a change in accounting principles or the interpretation thereof affecting the consolidation of VIEs, it could impact our consolidation of total revenues derived from our affiliated physician groups.

Our financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of our majority-owned subsidiaries and various non-owned affiliated physician groups that are VIEs, whose consolidation is effectuated in accordance with applicable accounting rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Such accounting rules require that, under some circumstances, the VIE consolidation model be applied when a reporting enterprise holds a variable interest (e.g., equity interests, debt obligations, certain management, and service contracts) in a legal entity. Under this model, an enterprise must assess the entity in which it holds a variable interest to determine whether it meets the criteria to be consolidated as a VIE. If the entity is a VIE, the consolidation framework next identifies the party, if one exists, that possesses a controlling financial interest in the VIE, and then requires that party to consolidate the VIE as it is the primary beneficiary. An enterprise’s determination of whether it has a controlling financial interest in a VIE requires that a qualitative determination be made, and is not solely based on voting rights. If an enterprise determines the entity in which it holds a variable interest is not subject to the VIE consolidation model, the enterprise should apply the traditional voting control model, which focuses on voting rights.

In our case, the VIE consolidation model applies to our controlled, but not owned, physician-affiliated entities. However, our determination regarding the consolidation of our affiliates could be challenged, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, in the event of a change in accounting rules or FASB’s interpretations thereof, or if there were an adverse determination by a regulatory agency or a court or a change in state or federal law relating to the ability to maintain present agreements or arrangements with our affiliated physician groups, we may not be permitted to continue to consolidate the revenues of our VIEs.

33

Breaches or compromises of our information security systems or our information technology systems or infrastructure could result in exposure of private information, disruption of our business, and damage to our reputation, which could harm our business, results of operation, and financial condition.

In the ordinary course of our business, we create, receive, maintain, transmit, collect, store, use, disclose, share, and process sensitive data, including PHI and other types of personal data or personally identifiable information (collectively, “PII” and, together with PHI, “PHI/PII”) relating to our patients, employees, vendors, and others. We also contract with third-party service providers to process sensitive information, including PHI/PII, confidential information, and other proprietary business information. We depend highly on information technology networks and systems, including the internet, to securely process PHI/PII and other sensitive data and information. Security breaches of this infrastructure, whether ours or of our third-party service providers, including physical or electronic break-ins, employee or service provider error, third-party action, including actions of foreign actors, insider attacks, phishing or denial-of-service attacks, the introduction of computer viruses and/or malicious or destructive code, ransomware or other malware, social engineering, malfeasance, other unauthorized physical or electronic access, or other vulnerabilities, could result in system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized access, acquisition, use, disclosure or modifications of such data or information, and could cause PHI/PII to be accessed, acquired, used, disclosed or modified without authorization, to be made publicly available, or to be further accessed, acquired, used or disclosed. Such incidents could also lead to widespread technology outages, interruptions, or other failures of operational communication or other systems globally and across companies and industries. To our knowledge, while we have experienced cyber incidents, we have not experienced any material breaches of our cybersecurity systems.

We use third-party service providers for important aspects of processing employee and patient PHI/PII and other confidential and sensitive data and information, and therefore rely on third parties to manage functions with material cybersecurity risks. Because we do not control our vendors or service providers and our ability to monitor their cybersecurity is limited, we cannot ensure the cybersecurity measures they take will be sufficient to protect any information we share with them or prevent any disruption arising from a technology failure, cyber-attack or other information or security breach. We depend on such parties to implement adequate controls and safeguards to protect against and report cyber incidents. If such parties fail to deter, detect or report cyber incidents in a timely manner, we may suffer from financial and other harm, including to our information, operations, performance, employees and reputation. In addition, because of the sensitivity of the PHI/PII and other sensitive data and information that we and our service providers process, the security of our technology platform and other aspects of our services, including those provided or facilitated by our third-party service providers, are important to our operations and business strategy. We have implemented certain administrative, physical, and technological safeguards to address these risks; however, such policies and procedures may not address certain HIPAA requirements or address situations that could lead to increased privacy or security risks. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches, to safeguard the privacy, security, and confidentiality of PHI/PII and other sensitive data and information, to investigate, contain, remediate, and mitigate actual or potential security breaches, and/or to report security breaches to patients, employees, regulators, media, credit bureaus, and other third parties in accordance with applicable law and to offer complimentary credit monitoring, identity theft protection, and similar services to patients and/or employees where required by law or otherwise appropriate. Cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and frequent, and we or our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate protective measures against them or to prevent future attacks, and future cyber-attacks could go undetected and persist for an extended period of time. Furthermore, to the extent artificial intelligence capabilities continue to improve and are increasingly adopted, they may be used to identify vulnerabilities and craft increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks, including the use of generative artificial intelligence to conduct more sophisticated social engineering attacks on the Company, suppliers or customers. In addition, vulnerabilities may be introduced from the use of artificial intelligence by us and our third-party service providers.

34

A security breach, security incident, third-party outage, or privacy violation that leads to unauthorized use, disclosure, access, acquisition, loss, or modification of, or that prevents access to or otherwise impacts the confidentiality, security, or integrity of, patient or employee information, including PHI/PII that we or our third-party service providers process, or other confidential information could harm our reputation and business, compel us to comply with breach notification laws, cause us to incur significant costs for investigation, containment, remediation, mitigation, fines, penalties, settlements, notification to individuals, regulators, media, credit bureaus, and other third parties, complimentary credit monitoring, identity theft protection, training, and similar services to participants and/or employees where required by law or otherwise appropriate, for measures intended to repair or replace systems or technology and to prevent future occurrences. In addition, security breaches and incidents and other compromises or inappropriate access to, or acquisition or processing of, PHI/PII or other sensitive data or information can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying such breaches or incidents or in providing timely notification of such incidents may lead to increased harm and increased penalties. While we carry cyber insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim.

If we or our third-party service providers are unable to prevent or mitigate security breaches, security incidents, outages or privacy violations in the future, or if we or our third-party service providers are unable to implement satisfactory remedial measures with respect to known or future security incidents or outages, or if it is perceived that we have been unable to do so, our operations could be disrupted, we may be unable to provide access to our systems, and we could suffer a loss of patients, loss of reputation, adverse impacts on patient and investor confidence, financial loss, litigation, governmental investigations or other actions, regulatory or contractual penalties, and other claims and liability.

We rely on complex software systems and hosted applications to operate our business, and our business may be disrupted if we are unable to successfully or efficiently update these systems or convert to new systems.

We are increasingly dependent on technology systems to operate our business, reduce costs, and enhance customer service. These systems include complex software systems and hosted applications that are provided by third parties. Software systems need to be updated on a regular basis with patches, bug fixes, and other modifications. Hosted applications are subject to service availability and reliability of hosting environments. We also migrate from legacy systems to new systems from time to time. Maintaining existing software systems, implementing upgrades, and converting to new systems are costly and require personnel and other resources. The implementation of these systems upgrades and conversions is a complex and time-consuming project involving substantial expenditures for implementation activities, consultants, system hardware, and software, so it often requires transforming our current business and processes to conform to new systems, and therefore, may take longer, be more disruptive, and cost more than forecast and may not be successful. If the implementation is delayed or otherwise is not successful, it may hinder our business operations and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. There are many factors that may materially and adversely affect the schedule, cost, and execution of the implementation process, including, without limitation, problems in the design and testing of new systems; system delays, malfunctions and third-party outages; the deviation by suppliers and contractors from the required performance under their contracts with us; the diversion of management attention from our daily operations to the implementation project; reworks due to unanticipated changes in business processes; difficulty in training employees in the operation of new systems and maintaining internal control while converting from legacy systems to new systems; and integration with our existing systems. Some of such factors may not be reasonably anticipated or may be beyond our control.

35

We may face risks associated with our use of certain artificial intelligence and machine learning models.

Our business utilizes artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning technologies, to add AI-based applications to our offering and to drive efficiencies in our business. Further, certain of our third-party vendors utilize AI and machine learning technologies in furnishing services to us. As with many technological innovations, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. Our offerings utilize, and we plan to further examine, develop and introduce, machine learning algorithms, predictive analytics, and other AI technologies to offer new applications, upgrade our solutions and enhance our capabilities, among other things, to identify trends, anomalies and correlations, provide alerts and initiate business processes. If these AI or machine learning models are incorrectly designed, the performance of our products, services, and business, as well as our reputation, could suffer or we could incur liability through the violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party.

Additionally, we may make future investments in adopting AI and machine learning technologies across our business. AI and machine learning technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, and we face significant competition from other companies in our industry as well as an evolving regulatory landscape. Our efforts in developing AI and machine learning technology may not succeed, and our competitors may be able to deploy the technology faster. We may further be exposed to competitive risks related to the adoption and application of new technologies by established market participants or new entrants, and others. The speed of technological development may prove disruptive to our business if we are unable to maintain the pace of innovation.

In addition, market acceptance of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies is uncertain. These efforts, including the introduction of new products or changes to existing products, may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, ethical concerns, or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. Changes to existing regulations, their interpretation or implementation or new regulations could impede our use of AI and machine learning technology and also may increase our estimated costs in this area. In addition, market acceptance of AI and machine learning technologies is uncertain, and we may be unsuccessful in our product development efforts. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. To compete effectively we must also be responsive to technological change, potential regulatory developments, and public scrutiny.

36

If our internal control over financial reporting is not considered effective, our business and stock price could be adversely affected.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year. Section 404 also requires our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud involving a company have been, or will be, detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected, such as those that resulted in the restatement of certain of our previously issued consolidated financial statements and related material weakness in August 2023. We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the restatement, and we cannot assure you that we or our independent registered public accounting firm will not identify a material weakness in our internal controls in the future. A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting would require management and our independent registered public accounting firm to consider our internal controls as ineffective. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future or that we will not identify significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure of our internal controls could result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements, significant deficiencies, material weaknesses, costs, failure to timely meet our periodic reporting obligations and erosion of investor confidence. Such failure could also negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

We may be unable to renew our leases on favorable terms or at all as our leases expire, or our businesses could be negatively impacted by natural disasters and other catastrophic events, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We operate several leased premises. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to occupy such premises in the future. For example, we currently rent our corporate headquarters on a month-to-month basis. We could thus spend substantial resources to meet the current landlords’ demands or look for other premises. We may be unable to timely renew such leases or renew them on favorable terms, if at all. If any current lease is terminated or not renewed, we may be required to relocate our operations at substantial costs or incur increased rental expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations .In addition, our leased locations could be impacted by natural disasters, changes in climate, and other catastrophic events, such as the recent California wildfires. Although preventative measures may help to mitigate damage from these types of catastrophic events, we cannot provide any assurance that any measures we may take will be successful, and delays in recovery may be significant. In addition, the insurance we maintain may not be adequate to cover our losses resulting from any business interruption, including those resulting from a natural disaster or other severe weather event, and recurring extreme weather events or other adverse events could reduce the availability or increase the cost of insurance.

We currently derive a substantial portion of our revenues in California and are vulnerable to changes in that state.

While we continue to grow our business and expand our geographical presence, we currently primarily operate in California. Any material changes with respect to consumer preferences, taxation, reimbursements, financial requirements, or other aspects of healthcare delivery in California or the state’s economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

37

Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon our ability to adapt to the ever-changing healthcare industry and continued development of additional services.

Although we provide a broad and competitive range of services, there can be no assurance of acceptance of our services by the marketplace. Our ability to procure new contracts may be dependent upon the continuing results achieved at the current facilities, upon pricing and operational considerations, and the potential need for continuing improvement to our existing services. Moreover, the markets for our new services may not develop as expected nor can there be any assurance that we will be successful in marketing or achieving market acceptance of any such services.

Our reputation could be adversely impacted by environmental, social and governance policies and practices.

The increased focus by stakeholders on our environmental, social and governance policies and practices, including corporate citizenship and sustainability, could result in additional costs, and could adversely impact our reputation, consumer perception, employee retention, and willingness of third parties to do business with us. Additionally, public interest and legislative pressure related to public companies’ environmental, social and governance practices continues to grow – for example, California has adopted climate disclosure laws that impose different broad and far-reaching climate disclosure obligations, which could materially impact us. If our environmental, social and governance policies and practices fail to meet regulatory requirements or stakeholders’ evolving expectations and standards for responsible corporate citizenship, our reputation and employee retention may be negatively impacted. At the same time, there exists anti-environmental, social and governance sentiment among certain stakeholders and government institutions, and we may face scrutiny, reputational risk, lawsuits or market access restrictions from these parties regarding any environmental, social and governance initiatives we may adopt. The effects of climate change and increased focus by stakeholders on sustainability matters could have short- and long-term impacts on our business, operations and reputation. Among other things, we could incur substantial costs and require additional resources to monitor, report, and comply with various environmental, social and governance practices, laws, and regulations, including the climate disclosure laws adopted in California. Inconsistency of legislation and regulations among jurisdictions, including anti-environmental, social and governance policies or legislation, and expected additional regulations may also affect the costs of compliance with such laws and regulations.

Risks Relating to Our Growth Strategy and Business Model.

Our growth strategy may not prove viable, and we may not realize expected results.

Our business strategy is to grow rapidly by building a network of medical groups and integrated physician networks and is significantly dependent on locating and acquiring, partnering, or contracting with medical practices to provide healthcare delivery services. We seek, and have actively been engaging in, growth opportunities both organically and through acquisitions of or alliances with other medical service providers. As part of our growth strategy, we regularly review potential strategic opportunities, including acquisitions, partnerships, investments, and divestitures. Identifying and establishing suitable strategic relationships is time-consuming and costly. There can be no assurance that we will be successful. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in pursuing or completing such strategic opportunities or assure the consequences of any strategic transactions. If we fail to evaluate and execute strategic transactions properly, we may not achieve anticipated benefits and may incur increased costs.

Our strategic transactions involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including:

•
We may not be able to successfully identify suitable strategic opportunities, complete desired strategic transactions, or realize their expected benefits. In addition, we compete for strategic transactions with other potential players, some of whom may have greater resources than we do. This competition may intensify due to the ongoing consolidation in the healthcare industry, which may increase our costs to pursue such opportunities.

38

•
Upon completing strategic transactions, we may not be able to establish suitable strategic relationships, may fail to integrate them into our business or otherwise may not be able to realize the expected benefits of such transactions. We cannot be certain of the extent of any unknown, undisclosed, or contingent liabilities of any acquired business, including liabilities for failure to comply with applicable laws. We may incur material liabilities for past activities from strategic relationships. Also, depending on the location of the strategic transactions, we may be required to comply with laws and regulations that may differ from the states in which we currently operate.
•
We may form strategic relationships with medical practices that operate with lower profit margins as compared with ours or that have a different payer mix than our other practice groups, which would reduce our overall profit margin. Depending upon the nature of the local market, we may not be able to implement our business model in every local market that we enter, which could negatively impact our revenues and financial condition.
•
We may incur substantial costs to complete strategic transactions, integrate strategic relationships into our business, or expand our operations, including hiring more employees and engaging other personnel, to provide services to additional patients we are responsible for managing pursuant to the new relationships. If such relationships terminate or diminish before we can realize their expected benefits, any costs we have already incurred may not be recovered.
•
If we finance strategic transactions by issuing our equity securities or securities convertible thereto, our existing stockholders could be diluted. If we finance strategic transactions with debt, it could result in higher leverage and interest costs for us.
•
If we are not successful in our efforts to identify and execute strategic transactions on beneficial terms, our ability to implement our business plan and achieve our targets could be adversely affected.
•
We may experience difficulties in integrating acquisitions and other strategic transactions as planned, including incorporating acquired businesses and operations into our accounting, internal control, and financial reporting systems, which could, among other things, lead to untimely SEC filings, damage our reputation, delay realizing the benefits of our strategies for an acquired business, limit our access to capital, and negatively impact our financial results. For example, we corrected our preliminary financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 to reflect adjustments relating to certain acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•
The process of integrating strategic relationships also involves significant risks, including:
•
difficulties in coping with demands on management related to the increased size of our business;
•
difficulties resulting from the diversion of management’s attention from our daily operations;
•
difficulties in assimilating different corporate cultures and business practices;
•
difficulties in converting other entities’ books and records and conforming their practices to ours;
•
difficulties in integrating operating, accounting, and information technology systems of other entities with ours and in maintaining uniform procedures, policies, and standards such as internal accounting controls;
•
difficulties in retaining employees who may be vital to the integration of the acquired entities; and
•
difficulties in maintaining contracts and relationships with payers of other entities.

We may be required to make certain contingent payments in connection with strategic transactions from time to time. The fair value of such payments is reevaluated periodically based on changes in our estimate of future operating results and changes in market discount rates. Any changes in our estimated fair value are recognized in our results of operations. The actual payments, however, may exceed our estimated fair value. Increases in actual contingent payments compared to the amounts recognized may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively integrate strategic relationships into our business, which may negatively impact our business model, revenues, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, strategic transactions are time-intensive, requiring significant commitment of our management’s focus. If our management spends too much time assessing potential opportunities, completing strategic transactions, and integrating strategic relationships, our management may not have sufficient time to focus on our existing operations. This diversion of attention could have material and adverse consequences on our operations and profitability.

Obligations in our credit or loan documents could restrict our operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to take specified actions. An event of default could harm our business, and creditors having security interests over our assets would be able to foreclose on our assets.

The terms of our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and other indebtedness we may incur from time to time require us to comply with a number of financial and other obligations, which may include maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage, that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to take actions that may be in our interests, such as entering into strategic transactions, completing debt or equity offerings, or paying dividends. These obligations may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these obligations could result in defaults under the agreements or instruments governing the indebtedness, even if we had satisfied our payment obligations. Moreover, if we defaulted on these obligations, creditors with security interests over our assets could exercise various remedies, including foreclosing on and selling our assets. Unless waived by creditors, for which no assurance can be given, defaulting on these obligations could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to continue our operations.

We may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, and the nature of our business and rapid changes in the healthcare industry make it difficult to reliably predict future growth and operating results.

We may not be able to successfully grow and expand. Successful implementation of our business plan will require management of growth, including potentially rapid and substantial growth, which could result in an increase in the level of responsibility for management personnel and strain on our human and capital resources. To manage growth effectively, we will be required, among other things, to continue to implement and improve our operating and financial systems, procedures, and controls and to expand, train, and manage our employee base. If we are unable to implement and scale improvements to our existing systems and controls in an efficient and timely manner or if we encounter deficiencies, we will not be able to successfully execute our business plans. Failure to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified personnel could also impede our growth. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The evolving nature of our business and rapid changes in the healthcare industry make it difficult to anticipate the nature and amount of medical reimbursements, third-party private payments, and participation in certain government programs and, thus, to reliably predict our future growth and operating results.

We could experience significant losses under capitation contracts if our expenses exceed revenues.

Under a capitation contract, a health plan typically prospectively pays an IPA periodic capitation payments based on a percentage of the amount received by the health plan. Capitation payments, in the aggregate, represent a prospective budget from which an IPA manages care-related expenses on behalf of the population enrolled with that IPA. If our affiliated IPAs are able to manage care-related expenses under the capitated levels, we realize operating profits from capitation contracts. However, if care-related expenses exceed projected levels, our affiliated IPAs may realize substantial operating deficits, which are not capped and could lead to substantial losses. For example, the State of California’s Budget Act of 2023 (AB 118) mandated a “targeted rate increase” in reimbursement rates under the Medi-Cal program for providers of primary care and obstetric care services commencing January 1, 2024, including where applicable, an equivalent adjustment to capitation rates for those providers reimbursed on a capitated basis. If the required capitation rate adjustments payable to such primary care and obstetric care providers exceed the corresponding capitation rate increase received by us from our contracted Medi-Cal health plans, substantial losses could result.

Additionally, factors beyond our control, such as natural disasters, the potential effects of climate change, and major epidemics, pandemics, or newly emergent viruses, could reduce our ability to effectively manage the costs of providing healthcare. For example, the wildfires in California may result in our costs to manage care due to a substantial disruption of delivery in health care services and patient exposure to hazardous environment.

Following the acquisition of our Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans, we may expand the use of “global” capitation arrangements whereby such plans accept financial risk for hospital and other institutional services in addition to professional medical services (whereas IPA capitation contracts are typically limited to accepting financial risk for professional medical services). However, if care-related expenses under these global capitation arrangements exceed projected levels, our Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans may realize substantial operating deficits, which are not capped and could lead to substantial losses. Expansion of global capitation arrangements may also require the funding of additional capital to our Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans in order to comply with DMHC regulations relating to tangible net equity which could result in having less cash available for other parts of our operations.

If our agreements with affiliated physician groups are deemed invalid or terminated under applicable law, our results of operations and financial condition will be materially impaired.

There are various state laws, including laws in California and other states in which we operate, regulating the corporate practice of medicine, which prohibit us from directly owning medical professional entities. These prohibitions are intended to prevent unlicensed persons from interfering with or inappropriately influencing a physician’s professional judgment. These and other laws may also prevent fee-splitting, which is the sharing of professional service income with non-professional or business interests. The interpretation and enforcement of these laws vary significantly from state to state. We currently derive revenues from MSAs or similar arrangements with our affiliated IPAs, whereby we provide management and administrative services to them. If these agreements and arrangements are held to be invalid under laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine and other laws or new laws are adopted that prohibit such agreements or arrangements, a significant portion of our revenues would be lost, resulting in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The arrangements we have with our VIEs are not as secure as direct ownership of such entities.

Because of corporate practice of medicine laws, we have entered into contractual arrangements to manage certain affiliated physician practice groups, which allow us to consolidate those groups for financial reporting purposes. We do not have direct ownership interests in any of our VIEs and are not able to exercise rights as an equity holder to directly change the members of the boards of directors of these entities so as to effect changes at the management and operational level. Under our arrangements with our VIEs, we must rely on their equity holders to exercise our control over the entities. If our affiliated entities or their equity holders fail to perform as expected, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such arrangements.

41

Any failure by our affiliated entities or their owners to perform their obligations under their agreements with us would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our affiliated physician practice groups are owned by individual physicians who could die, become incapacitated, or become no longer affiliated with us. Although our MSAs with these affiliates provide that they will be binding on successors of current owners, as the successors are not parties to the MSAs, it is uncertain in case of the death, bankruptcy, or divorce of a current owner whether their successors would be subject to such MSAs.

Our revenues and operations are dependent on a limited number of key payers.

Our operations are dependent on a concentrated number of payers. Four payers accounted for an aggregate of 66.2% and 61.7% of our total net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We believe that a majority of our revenues will continue to be derived from a limited number of key payers, which may terminate their contracts with us, or our physicians credentialed by them, upon the occurrence of certain events. They may also amend the material terms of the contracts under certain circumstances. Failure to maintain such contracts on favorable terms, or at all, would materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

An exodus of our patients could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We may also be impacted by a shift in payer mix, including eligibility changes to government and private insurance programs.

A material decline in the number of patients that we and our affiliated physician groups serve, whether a government or a private entity is paying for their healthcare, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, which could result from increased competition, new developments in the healthcare industry, or regulatory overhauls. Some people are not covered by health insurance and thus may not be able to afford services by our managed medical groups. In addition, due to potential decreased availability of healthcare through private employers, the number of patients who are uninsured or participate in governmental programs may increase. A shift in payer mix from managed care and other private payers to government payers or the uninsured may result in a reduction in our rates of reimbursement or an increase in our uncollectible receivables or uncompensated care, with a corresponding decrease in our net revenue. Changes in the eligibility requirements for governmental programs could also change the number of patients who participate in such programs or the number of uninsured patients. For those patients who remain with private insurance, changes in those programs could increase patient responsibility amounts, resulting in a greater risk for uncollectible receivables. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business and growth strategy depend on our ability to maintain and expand a network of qualified physicians. If we are unable to do so, our future growth would be limited and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.

We continue to face increasing competition to recruit and retain quality physicians. Our success is dependent upon our continued ability to maintain a network of qualified physician providers. If we are unable to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other healthcare professionals, it would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and ability to grow. In any particular market, providers could demand higher reimbursement or take other actions that could result in higher medical costs, reduced access to our members, or difficulty meeting regulatory requirements. Our ability to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with physicians also may be negatively impacted by other factors not associated with us, such as changes in Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement levels and other pressures on healthcare providers and consolidation activity among hospitals, physician groups and healthcare providers. We anticipate facing increased challenges in this area as the physician population reaches retirement age, especially if there is a shortage of physicians willing and able to provide comparable services. If we are unable to recruit and retain quality physicians, or to maintain or secure new cost-effective provider contracts may result in a loss of or inability to grow our membership, higher costs, healthcare provider network disruptions, less attractive service for our members and/or difficulty in meeting regulatory requirements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

42

Our future growth could be harmed if we lose the services of our key management personnel.

Our success depends to a significant extent on the continued contributions of our key management personnel, particularly our Chief Executive Officer and President Brandon K. Sim, M.S. and our Chief Financial and Operating Officer Chandan Basho, for the management of our business and implementation of our business strategy. The loss of their services, or services of other key members of management, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If having our key personnel serving as nominee equity holders of our VIEs is deemed invalid under applicable laws, or if we lose the services of key personnel for any reason, it could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

There are various state laws, including laws in California and other states in which we operate, regulating the corporate practice of medicine, which prohibit us from owning various healthcare entities. These corporate practice of medicine prohibitions are intended to prevent unlicensed persons from interfering with or inappropriately influencing a physician’s professional judgment. The interpretation and enforcement of these laws vary significantly from state to state. As a result, many of our affiliated physician practice groups are either wholly owned or primarily owned by key personnel as the nominee shareholder for our benefit. If these arrangements were held to be invalid under applicable laws, which may change from time to time, a significant portion of our consolidated revenues would be affected, which may result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, if such key personnel die, become incapacitated, or otherwise are no longer affiliated with us, our relationships and arrangements with those VIEs could be in jeopardy, and our business could be adversely affected.

We are partly dependent on referrals from third parties and preferred provider status with payers.

Our business relies in part on referrals from third parties for our services. We receive referrals from community medical providers, emergency departments, payers, and hospitals in the same manner as other medical professionals receive patient referrals. We do not provide compensation or other remuneration to referral sources for referring patients to us. A decrease in these referrals due to competition, concerns about our services and other factors could result in a significant decrease in our revenues and adversely impact our financial condition. Similarly, we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain or maintain preferred provider status with significant third-party payers in the communities where we operate. If we are unable to maintain our referral base or our preferred provider status with significant third-party payers, it may negatively impact our revenues and financial performance.

Partner facilities may terminate agreements with our affiliated physician groups or reduce their fees.

Our hospitalist physician services net revenue is derived from contracts directly with hospitals and other inpatient and post-acute care facilities. Our current partner facilities may decide not to renew contracts with, or may impose unfavorable terms on or reduce fees paid to our affiliated physician groups. Any of these events may impact the ability of our affiliated physician groups to operate at such facilities, which would negatively impact our revenues, results of operations, and financial condition.

Many of our agreements with hospitals and medical groups have limited durations, may be terminated without cause by them, and prohibit us from acquiring physicians or patients from or competing with them.

Many of our agreements with hospitals and medical groups are limited in their terms or may be terminated without cause by providing advance notice. If such agreements are not renewed or are terminated, we would lose the revenue generated by them. Any such events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and future business plans. Because many of such agreements with hospitals and medical groups prohibit us from acquiring physicians or patients from or competing with them, our ability to hire physicians, attract patients, or conduct business in certain areas may be limited in some cases.

43

Our business model depends on numerous complex management information systems, and any failure to successfully maintain these systems or implement new systems could undermine our ability to receive payments and otherwise materially harm our operations and may result in violations of healthcare laws and regulations.

We depend on a complex, specialized, integrated management information system and standardized procedures for operational and financial information, as well as for our billing operations. We may be unable to enhance existing management information systems or implement new ones when necessary. We may experience unanticipated delays, complications, or expenses in implementing, integrating, and operating our systems. Our management information systems may require modifications, improvements, or replacements that may require both substantial expenditures, as well as interruptions in operations. Our ability to create and implement these systems depends on the availability of technology and skilled personnel. Our failure to successfully implement and maintain all of our systems could undermine our ability to receive payments and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our failure to successfully operate our billing systems could also lead to potential violations of healthcare laws and regulations.

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 (“FDIC”); the loss of such assets would have a severe negative impact 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 December 31, 2024, our deposit accounts with banks exceeded the FDIC’s insured limit by approximately $332.2 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.

Risks Relating to the Healthcare Industry.

The healthcare industry is highly competitive.

We compete directly with national, regional, and local providers of inpatient healthcare for patients and physicians. There are many other companies and individuals currently providing healthcare services, many of which have been in business longer and/or have substantially more resources. Since there are virtually no substantial capital expenditures required for providing healthcare services, there are few financial barriers to entry into the healthcare industry. Other companies could enter the healthcare industry in the future and divert some or all of our business. On a national basis, our competitors include, but are not limited to, Optum, Heritage, Privia Health, and Aledade, each of which has greater financial and other resources available to them. We also compete with physician groups and privately-owned healthcare companies in local markets. In addition, our relationships with governmental and private third-party payers are not exclusive and our competitors have established or could seek to establish relationships with such payers to serve their covered patients. Competitors may also seek to compete with us for acquisitions, which could have the effect of increasing the price and reducing the number of suitable acquisitions, which would have an adverse impact on our growth strategy. Individual physicians, physician groups, and companies in other healthcare industry segments, including those with which we have contracts, and some of which have greater financial, marketing, and staffing resources, may become competitors in providing healthcare services, and this competition may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial position.

We therefore may be unable to compete successfully and even after we expend significant resources.

44

Hospitals where our affiliated physicians provide services may deny privileges to our physicians.

In general, our affiliated physicians may only provide services in a hospital where they have maintained certain credentials, also known as privileges, which are granted by the medical staff according to the bylaws of the hospital. The medical staff could decide that our affiliated physicians can no longer receive privileges to practice there. Such a decision would limit our ability to furnish services at the hospital, decrease the number of our affiliated physicians, or preclude us from entering new hospitals. In addition, hospitals may attempt to enter into exclusive contracts for certain physician services, which would reduce our access to patient populations within the hospital.

Changes associated with reimbursements by third-party payers or decreases in payer rates may adversely affect our operations.

The medical services industry is undergoing significant changes with government and other third-party payers that are taking measures to reduce reimbursement rates or, in some cases, denying reimbursement altogether. There is no assurance that government or other third-party payers will continue to pay for the services provided by our affiliated medical groups. Furthermore, there has been, and continues to be, a great deal of discussion and debate about the repeal and replacement of existing government reimbursement programs, such as the ACA. As a result, the future of healthcare reimbursement programs is uncertain, making long-term business planning difficult and imprecise. In addition, decreases in payer rates, either prospectively or retroactively, could have a significant adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows, and results of operations. The failure of government or other third-party payers to adequately cover the medical services provided by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our business may be significantly and adversely affected by legislative initiatives aimed at or having the effect of reducing healthcare costs associated with Medicare and other government healthcare programs and changes in reimbursement policies. In order to participate in the Medicare program, our affiliated provider groups must comply with stringent and often complex enrollment and reimbursement requirements; failure to do so could result in the provider group’s participation in the federal health care programs being terminated, or civil and/or criminal penalties being imposed. These programs generally provide for reimbursement on a fee-schedule basis rather than on a charge-related basis. As a result, we cannot increase our revenue by increasing the amount that we and our affiliates charge for services. To the extent that our costs increase, we may not be able to recover the increased costs from these programs. In addition, cost containment measures in non-governmental insurance plans have generally restricted our ability to recover, or shift to non-governmental payers, these increased costs. In attempts to limit federal and state spending, there have been, and we expect that there will continue to be, a number of proposals to limit or reduce Medicare reimbursement for various services. For example, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 made numerous changes to Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare-related programs, including new systems for establishing annual updates to Medicare rates for physicians’ services.

We may have difficulty collecting payments from third-party payers in a timely manner.

We derive significant revenue from third-party payers, and delays in payment or refunds to payers may adversely impact our net revenue. We assume the financial risks relating to uncollectible and delayed payments. In particular, we rely on some key governmental payers. Governmental payers typically pay on a more extended payment cycle, which could require us to incur substantial expenses prior to receiving corresponding payments. In the current healthcare environment, as payers continue to control expenditures for healthcare services, including through revising their coverage and reimbursement policies, we may continue to experience difficulties in collecting payments from payers who may seek to reduce or delay such payments. If we are not timely paid in full or if we need to refund some payments, our revenues, cash flows, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

45

Federal and state laws may limit our ability to collect monies owed by patients.

We use third-party collection agencies whom we do not control to collect from patients any co-payments and other payments for services that our physicians provide. The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act of 1977 (the “FDCPA”) restricts the methods that third-party collection companies may use to contact and seek payment from consumer debtors regarding past-due accounts. State laws vary with respect to debt collection practices, although most state requirements are similar to those under the FDCPA. Therefore, such agencies may not be successful in collecting payments owed to us and our affiliated physician groups. If the practices of collection agencies utilized by us are inconsistent with these standards, we may be subject to actual damages and penalties. These factors and events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We have established reserves for our potential medical claim losses, which are subject to inherent uncertainties, and a deficiency in the established reserves may lead to a reduction in our assets or net income.

We establish reserves for estimated IBNR claims. IBNR estimates are developed using actuarial methods and are based on many variables, including the utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, product mix, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors. The estimation methods and the resulting reserves are periodically reviewed and updated.

Many of our contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of various services. Such interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed. The inherent difficulty in interpreting contracts and estimating necessary reserves could result in significant fluctuations in our estimates from period to period. Our actual losses and related expenses, therefore, may differ, even substantially, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements. If actual claims exceed our estimated reserves, we may be required to increase reserves, which would lead to a reduction in our assets or net income.

Competition for qualified physicians, employees, and management personnel is intense in the healthcare industry, and we may not be able to hire and retain or contract with qualified physicians and other personnel.

We depend on our affiliated physicians to provide services and generate revenue. We compete with many types of healthcare providers, including teaching, research and government institutions, hospitals, and other practice groups, for the services of clinicians and management personnel. The limited number of residents and other licensed providers on the job market with the expertise necessary to provide services within our business makes it challenging to meet our hiring needs and may require us to train new employees, contract temporary physicians, or offer more attractive wage and benefit packages to experienced professionals, which could decrease our profit margins. The limited number of available residents and other licensed providers also impacts our ability to renew contracts with existing physicians on acceptable terms or replace physicians as they retire from practice. As a result, our ability to provide services could be adversely affected. In some markets, the lack of availability of clinical personnel, such as physicians and allied health professionals, has become a significant operating issue facing all healthcare providers. This shortage has required us to enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain qualified personnel or to contract for more expensive temporary personnel. In addition, our labor costs have increased due to higher wage rates associated with the increased competitive labor market. Because the majority of our revenue consists of prospective monthly capitated, or fixed, payments per patient, our ability to pass along increased labor costs is limited. In particular, if labor costs rise at an annual rate greater than our net annual consumer price index basket update from Medicare, our results of operations and cash flows will likely be adversely affected. Any failure to recruit and retain or contract with qualified management and medical personnel, or to control our labor costs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition. Even though our physician turnover rate has remained stable over the last four years, if the turnover rate were to increase significantly, our growth could be adversely affected. Moreover, unlike some of our competitors who sometimes pay additional compensation to physicians who agree to provide services exclusively to that competitor, our affiliated IPAs have historically not entered into such exclusivity agreements and have allowed our affiliated physicians to affiliate with multiple IPAs. This practice may place us at a competitive disadvantage regarding the hiring and retention of physicians relative to those competitors who do enter into such exclusivity agreements.

46

If we are unable to effectively adapt to changes in the healthcare industry, including changes to laws and regulations regarding or affecting U.S. healthcare reform, our business may be harmed.

Due to the importance of the healthcare industry in the lives of all Americans, federal, state, and local legislative bodies frequently pass legislation and promulgate regulations relating to healthcare reform or that affect the healthcare industry. We currently expect that the new presidential administration may reduce federal regulatory oversight and government spending, while, on the state level, in some states, there may continue to be increased government oversight and regulation of the healthcare industry. We cannot assure our stockholders as to the ultimate content, timing, or effect of any new healthcare legislation or regulations, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of potential new legislation or regulations on our business. It is possible that future legislation enacted by Congress or state legislatures, or regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities at the federal or state level, could adversely affect our business or could change the operating environment of the hospitals and other facilities where our affiliated physicians provide services. It is possible that the changes to Medicare, Medicaid, or other governmental healthcare program reimbursements may serve as precedent to possible changes in other payers’ reimbursement policies in a manner adverse to us. Similarly, changes in private payer reimbursements could lead to adverse changes in Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental healthcare programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Although we do not anticipate that a single-payer national health insurance system will be enacted by the current Congress or the new presidential administration, several federal legislative initiatives have previously been proposed that would establish some form of a single public or quasi-public agency that organizes healthcare financing, but under which healthcare delivery would remain private. If enacted, such a system could adversely affect our business.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Many healthcare industry participants and payers are consolidating to create larger and more integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. We expect regulatory and economic conditions to result in additional consolidation in the healthcare industry in the future. As consolidation accelerates, the economies of scale of our partners’ organizations may grow. If a partner experiences sizable growth following consolidation, it may determine that it no longer needs to rely on us and may reduce its demand for our products and services. In addition, as healthcare providers consolidate to create larger and more integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power, these providers may try to use their market power to negotiate fee reductions for our products and services. Finally, consolidation may also result in the acquisition or future development by our partners of products and services that compete with our products and services. Any of these potential results of consolidation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

47

Risks Relating to ACO REACH.

There are uncertainties regarding the design and administration of the ACO REACH Model and CMS’s financial reports to ACO REACH participants, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

Due to the novelty of the ACO REACH Model, we are subject to program challenges, including, but not limited to, process design, data, and other related aspects. We rely on CMS for the design, oversight, and governance of the ACO REACH Model. If CMS cannot provide accurate data, guidance on claims processing, claims benchmarking and calculations, make timely payments, and conduct periodic process reviews, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. CMS relies on various third parties to effect the ACO REACH program, including other departments of the U.S. government, such as CMMI. CMS also relies on multiple third-party contractors to manage the ACO REACH Model program, including claims and auditing. As a result, there is the potential for errors, delays, and poor communication among the differing entities involved, which are beyond our control. As CMS is implementing extensive reporting protocols for the ACO REACH Model, CMS has indicated that because of inherent biases in reporting the results, its initial financial reports under the ACO REACH Model may not be indicative of final results of actual risk sharing and revenues that we receive. Were that to be the case, we might not report accurately our revenues for relevant periods, which could result in adjustments in a later period when we receive final results from CMS.

We chose to participate in the Total Care Capitation mechanism, Primary Care Capitation mechanism, and Global risk tracks of ACO REACH, which entail certain special risks.

Under the Total Care Capitation (“TCC”) mechanism, CMS estimates the total annual Part A and Part B Medicare expenditures of our assigned Medicare beneficiaries and pays us that projected amount per beneficiary per month payments. Under the Primary Care Capitation (“PCC”) mechanism, CMS makes a per beneficiary per month payment for the provision of primary care services to the ACO on behalf of its participant providers. Furthermore, our ACOs chose the Global risk track, under which we assume up to 100% risk for Part A and Part B Medicare expenditures, subject to certain risk corridors. While performance can be monitored throughout the year, the end results for any given performance year will not be known until the third quarter of the subsequent year, at which point losses, if experienced, may have to be repaid to CMS.

Shared savings retained by our ACO are impacted by the amount of the Quality Withhold earned back.

Throughout the ACO REACH programs, a substantial portion of our ACOs’ spending benchmark is held at-risk by CMS, subject to our ACO meeting certain quality measures as determined by CMS. Failing to earn back all or part of the portion of our ACO’s spending benchmark held at-risk by CMS for quality metrics could materially affect our financial performance in the ACO REACH programs.

48

We may suffer losses and may not generate savings through our participation in the ACO REACH Model.

Through the ACO REACH Model, CMS provides an opportunity to provider groups that are willing to assume higher levels of financial risk and reward to participate in this relatively new attribution-based risk-sharing model. The ACO REACH Model uses a prospectively set preliminary benchmark that is retrospectively adjusted throughout and at the end of the performance year. Throughout the performance year and after the performance year concludes, the preliminary benchmark is adjusted for numerous factors, such as the ACO’s developing risk and quality scores and beneficiaries who became ineligible for the program over the course of the performance year. If necessary, a Retrospective Trend Adjustment (“RTA”) may be applied as well. Once all adjustments are made to the benchmark, our ACO’s expenditures will be compared to a final benchmark to calculate shared savings or shared losses. Under the ACO REACH Model, we are responsible for savings and losses related to care received by assigned patients by covering claims from physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals. If claim costs exceed the benchmarked expenditures, or the baseline years used in benchmark calculations are statistical anomalies, we could experience losses, which could be significant. Among other things, this could result from factors beyond our control, such as inflation, natural disasters, the potential effects of climate change, and major epidemics, pandemics, or newly emergent viruses. As we are providing care coordination through our ACO, but do not provide direct patient care, our influence could be limited. Because of our limited influence, it is possible that we may not be able to control care providers’ behavior, utilization, and costs. As a result, we may not be able to generate savings through our participation in the ACO REACH Model to cover our administrative and care coordination operating costs, and any savings generated, if at all, will be earned in arrears and uncertain in both timing and amount. Furthermore, the process by which the final benchmark is calculated from the preliminary benchmark is complex, and we may have limited ability to understand what the final benchmark may be before the value is reported to us by CMS. Furthermore, CMS may make changes in how it calculates the benchmark, the risk corridors, and the trend from year to year. Due to this dynamic, we may have limited ability to predict our final performance and shared savings/losses amount prior to receiving a final report from CMS in the third quarter of the year following any given performance year.

We do not control, but are responsible for savings and losses related to, care received by assigned patients at out-of-network providers, which could negatively impact our ability to control claim costs.

Medicare beneficiaries in the ACO REACH Model are not required to receive care from a specified network of contracted providers and facilities, which could make it difficult for us to control the financial risks of those beneficiaries. While we are not responsible for directly paying claims for out-of-network providers, we may have difficulty managing patient care and costs in relation to such out-of-network providers as compared to contracted, in-network providers, which could adversely impact our financial results as we are responsible for savings and losses of assigned beneficiaries, irrespective of whether they are using in-network or out-of-network providers. In addition, even if we are successful in encouraging more assigned patients to receive care from our contracted, in-network providers, there is the possibility that the monthly TCC from CMS will be insufficient to cover our expenditures since the TCC is generally based on historical in-network/out-of-network ratios. If CMS fails to monitor the in-network/out-of-network provider ratio for our assigned patients on a frequent basis, or CMS’s reconciliation payments to us are not timely made, this could result in negative cash flows for us, especially if increased payments will need to be made to our contracted, in-network providers.

49

Our continued participation in CMS Advanced Alternative Payment Models, such as the ACO REACH, cannot be guaranteed.

Our affiliated ACOs have participated in various CMS and CMMI-sponsored models, including the Global and Professional Direct Contracting Model, the ACO Reach Model, the MSSP, the Maryland Primary Care Program, and other value-based care programs, each in accordance with a Participation Agreement with CMS (each, a “CMS Sponsored Model”). However, the Participation Agreements may be terminated sooner by CMS as specified therein and CMS has the flexibility to alter or change the programs over time. Additionally, our ACO REACH participation agreements with CMS permit CMS to take certain actions if CMS determines that any provision may have been violated, including requiring the ACO to provide additional information to CMS, placing the ACO on a monitoring and/or auditing plan developed by CMS, requiring the ACO to terminate its relationship with any other individual or entity performing functions or services related to certain ACO or marketing activities, amending the agreement without the consent of the ACO to take certain actions, including denying, terminating or amending the use of any capitation payment mechanism. Among many requirements to be eligible to participate in the CMS Sponsored Models, we must meet minimum aligned beneficiaries numbers and must maintain that number throughout each performance year. If that number were not maintained, we would become ineligible for the applicable model. In addition, we are required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding provider-based risk-bearing entities. We could be terminated from any CMS Sponsored Model at any time if we do not continue to comply with the applicable participation requirements. If our ACO REACH participation agreements were terminated, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects would be negatively impacted. If future compliance or performance issues arise, we may lose our current eligibility and may be subject to CMS’s enforcement or contract actions, including our potential inability to participate in a specific payment mechanism or risk track, or dismissal from the applicable model, which would have a material adverse effect on our revenues and cash flows. In addition, the payments from CMS to us will decrease if the number of beneficiaries assigned to our ACOs decline or if the contracted providers terminate their relationships with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations on a consolidated basis.

Risks Relating to CMS Model Participation

We may be unable to generate revenue under the CMS Sponsored Models.

The CMS Sponsored Models are consistently being updated by CMS, CMMI and, when applicable, participating states. As an example, in 2024, the calculation of the benchmark for MSSP was adjusted to address prior performance, to incorporate a prospective administrative growth factor, and to attempt to reduce the cap on negative regional adjustments. These changes impact how savings and losses under a model are calculated and may impact our ability to generate revenue under the applicable model. CMS may update the CMS Sponsored Models annually. In addition, our participation in each CMS Sponsored Model requires our participant providers to maintain at least a minimum number of aligned beneficiaries. If we fail to meet the applicable thresholds, or otherwise fail to comply with the CMS Sponsored Model program requirements, we will not be eligible to participate for the applicable year and could be subject to significant penalties.

We may suffer losses and may not generate savings through our participation in the CMS Sponsored Models.

We are participating in various programs in the CMS Sponsored Models, including the MSSP Level ENHANCED, pursuant to which we may be responsible for losses based on the applicable ACO’s cost and quality performance. We are responsible for savings and losses related to care received by patients by covering claims from physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals. If claim costs exceed the benchmarked expenditures, we could experience losses, which could be significant. Among other things, this could result from factors beyond our control, such as inflation, natural disasters, the potential effects of climate change, and major epidemics, pandemics, or newly emergent viruses. As we provide care coordination through our ACOs, but do not provide direct patient care, our influence could be limited. Because of our limited influence, it is possible that we may not be able to control care providers’ behavior, utilization, and costs. As a result, we may not be able to generate savings through our participation in the CMS Sponsored Models to cover our administrative and care coordination operating costs, and any savings generated, if at all, will be earned in arrears and uncertain in both timing and amount.

50

We do not control, but are responsible for savings and losses related to, care received by assigned patients at out-of-network providers, which could negatively impact our ability to control claim costs.

Medicare beneficiaries in the CMS Sponsored Models are not required to receive care from a specified network of contracted providers and facilities, which could make it difficult for us to control the financial risks of those beneficiaries. While we are not responsible for directly paying claims for out-of-network providers, we may have difficulty managing patient care and costs in relation to such out-of-network providers as compared to contracted, in-network providers, which could adversely impact our financial results as we are responsible for savings and losses of assigned beneficiaries, irrespective of whether they are using in-network or out-of-network providers.

Risks Relating to Regulatory Compliance and Legal Proceedings.

Laws regulating the corporate practice of medicine could restrict the manner in which we are permitted to conduct our business, and the failure to comply with such laws could subject us to penalties and restructuring.

Some states have laws that prohibit business entities from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, exercising control over medical decisions by physicians (also known collectively as the corporate practice of medicine) or engaging in some arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians. In some states, these prohibitions are expressly stated in a statute or regulation, while in other states, the prohibition is a matter of judicial or regulatory interpretation. California, where a substantial amount of our operations are located, is one of the states that prohibit the corporate practice of medicine.

In the states in which we have business operations, we operate by maintaining contracts with our affiliated physician groups, which are each owned and operated by physicians, and which employ or contract with additional physicians to provide physician services. Under these arrangements, we or our subsidiaries provide management services, receive a management fee for providing management services, do not represent to offer medical services, and do not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine by the physicians or the affiliated physician groups.

In addition to the above management arrangements, in certain instances, we have contractual rights relating to the transfer of equity interests in our affiliated physician groups under physician shareholder agreements that we entered into with the controlling equity holder of such affiliated physician groups. However, even in such instances, such equity interests cannot be transferred to or held by us or any non-professional organization. Accordingly, we do not directly own equity interests in affiliated physician groups in the states in which we have business operations. In the event that any of these affiliated physician groups or their equity holders fail to comply with these management or ownership transfer arrangements, these arrangements are terminated, we are unable to enforce such arrangements, or these arrangements are invalidated under applicable laws, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and we may need to restructure our organization and change our arrangements with our affiliated physician groups, which may not be successful.

51

The healthcare industry is intensely regulated at the federal, state, and local levels, and government authorities may determine that we fail to comply with applicable laws or regulations and take action against us.

As a company involved in providing healthcare services, we are subject to numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations. There are significant costs involved in complying with these laws and regulations. If we are found to have violated any applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to civil and/or criminal damages, fines, sanctions, or penalties, including exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and we may be required to change our method of operations and business strategy. These consequences could be the result of our current conduct or even conduct that occurred a number of years ago. We could incur significant costs to defend ourselves if we become the subject of an investigation or legal proceeding alleging a violation of these laws and regulations. We cannot predict whether a federal, state, or local government will determine that we are not operating in accordance with the law or whether, when or how the laws will change in the future and impact our business. The following is a non-exhaustive list of some of the more significant healthcare laws and regulations that could affect us:

•
The False Claims Act, which provides for penalties against entities and individuals who knowingly or recklessly make claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental healthcare programs, as well as third-party payers, that contain or are based upon false or fraudulent information;
•
A provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the “Anti-Kickback Statute,” that prohibits the knowing and willful offering, payment, solicitation, or receipt of any bribe, kickback, rebate, or other remuneration, in cash or in-kind, in return for the referral or recommendation of patients for items and services covered, in or in part, by federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid;
•
A provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the Stark Law or physician self-referral law (subject to limited exceptions), prohibits physicians from referring Medicare patients to an entity for the provision of specific “designated health services” if the physician or a member of such physician’s immediate family has a direct or indirect financial relationship with the entity, and prohibits the entity from billing for services arising out of such prohibited referrals;
•
A provision of the Social Security Act that provides for criminal penalties on healthcare providers who fail to disclose known overpayments;
•
A provision of the Social Security Act that provides for civil monetary penalties on healthcare providers who fail to repay known overpayments within 60 days of identification or the date any corresponding cost report was due, if applicable, and also allows improper retention of known overpayments to serve as a basis for False Claims Act violations;
•
Provisions of the Social Security Act (emanating from the DRA) require entities that make or receive annual Medicaid payments of $5 million or more from a single Medicaid program to provide its employees, contractors, and agents with written policies and employee handbook materials on federal and state false claims acts and related statutes, that establish a Medicaid Integrity Program designed to enhance federal and state efforts to detect Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse, and that increase financial incentives for both states and individuals to bring fraud and abuse claims against healthcare companies;
•
State law provisions pertaining to anti-kickback, self-referral, and false claims issues;
•
Provisions of, and regulations relating to, HIPAA that provide penalties for knowingly and willfully executing a scheme or artifice to defraud a healthcare benefit program or falsifying, concealing, or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items, or services;

52

•
Provisions of HIPAA and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH”) limiting how covered entities, business associates, and business associate sub-contractors may use and disclose PHI and the security measures that must be taken in connection with protecting that information and related systems, as well as similar or more stringent state laws;
•
Federal and state laws provide penalties for providers for billing and receiving payments from a governmental healthcare program for services unless the services are medically necessary and reasonable, adequately and accurately documented, and billed using codes that accurately reflect the type and level of services rendered;
•
State laws that provide for financial solvency requirements relating to risk-bearing organizations (“RBOs”), plan operations, plan-affiliate operations, and transactions, plan-provider contractual relationships, and provider-affiliate operations and transactions, such as California Business & Professions Code Section 1375.4;
•
Federal laws that provide for administrative sanctions, including civil monetary penalties for, among other violations, inappropriate billing of services to federal healthcare programs, payments by hospitals to physicians for reducing or limiting services to Medicare or Medicaid patients, or employing or contracting with individuals or entities who/which are excluded from participation in federal healthcare programs;
•
Federal and state laws and policies require healthcare providers to enroll in the Medicare and Medicaid programs before submitting any claims for services, to promptly report certain changes in their operations to the agencies that administer these programs, and to re-enroll in these programs when changes in direct or indirect ownership occur or in response to revalidation requests from Medicare and Medicaid;
•
State laws that prohibit general business entities from practicing medicine, controlling physicians’ medical decisions, or engaging in certain practices, such as splitting fees with physicians;
•
State laws that impose time limits for processing and payment of uncontested covered claims and require healthcare service plans to pay interest on uncontested claims not paid promptly within the required time period. For example, §1371.38, et al., of the California Health & Safety Code, imposes time limits for the payment of uncontested covered claims and requires healthcare service plans to pay interest on uncontested claims not paid promptly within the required time period;
•
Laws in some states that prohibit non-domiciled entities from owning and operating medical practices in such states;
•
Federal and state laws and regulations restricting the techniques that may be used to collect past due accounts from consumers, such as our patients, for services provided to the consumer; and
•
State laws require healthcare providers that assume professional and institutional risk (i.e., full risk) to either obtain a license or an exemption. For example, California’s Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 requires the healthcare providers to obtain a license or receive an exemption from the California Department of Managed Healthcare (“DMHC”) for the contract(s) under which the entity assumes full risk.

Any violation or alleged violation of any of these laws or regulations by us or our affiliates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Changes in healthcare laws could create an uncertain environment and materially impact us. We cannot predict the effect that the ACA (also known as Obamacare) and its implementation, amendment, or repeal and replacement, may have on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Any changes in healthcare laws or regulations that reduce, curtail, or eliminate payments, government-subsidized programs, government-sponsored programs, and/or the expansion of Medicare or Medicaid, among other actions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

53

For example, the ACA dramatically changed how healthcare services are covered, delivered, and reimbursed. The ACA requires insurers to accept all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions, cover an extensive list of conditions and treatments, and charge the same rates, regardless of pre-existing conditions or gender. The ACA and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Acts”) also mandated changes specific to home health and hospice benefits under Medicare. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the ACA, including the “individual mandate” provisions of the ACA that generally require all individuals to obtain healthcare insurance or pay a penalty. However, the U.S. Supreme Court also held that the provision of the ACA that authorized the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to penalize states that choose not to participate in the expansion of the Medicaid program by removing all of its existing Medicaid funding was unconstitutional. In response to the ruling, a number of state governors opposed their state’s participation in the expanded Medicaid program, which resulted in the ACA not providing coverage to some low-income persons in those states. In addition, several bills have been, and may continue to be, introduced in U.S. Congress to amend all or significant provisions of the ACA, or repeal and replace the ACA with another law. In December 2017, the individual mandate was repealed via the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Afterward, legal and political challenges as to the constitutionality of the remaining provisions of the ACA resumed. Just as the fate of the ACA is uncertain, so is the future of care organizations established under the ACA, such as ACOs and ACO REACH. Under its ACO REACH Participation Agreement with CMS, our operations are always subject to the nation’s healthcare laws, as amended, repealed, or replaced from time to time.

The net effect of the ACA on our business is subject to numerous variables, including the law’s complexity, lack of complete implementing regulations and interpretive guidance, gradual and potentially delayed implementation, or possible amendment, as well as the uncertainty as to the extent to which states will choose to participate in the expanded Medicaid program. The continued implementation of provisions of the ACA, the adoption of new regulations thereunder, and ongoing challenges thereto, also add uncertainty about the current state of U.S. healthcare laws and could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition, several significant administrative law cases were decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2024, most notably Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (“Loper Bright”), which modified the regulatory interpretation standard established 40 years ago by Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council. Chevron doctrine generally required courts to defer to federal agencies, such as CMS, in their interpretation of federal statutes when a statute was silent or ambiguous with respect to a specific issue. In Loper Bright, the Supreme Court held that courts are no longer required to grant such deference, though they may consider an agency’s statutory interpretation. As it is highly regulated, the health care industry could be significantly impacted by the Loper Bright decision, particularly in the areas of Medicare reimbursement and health care fraud and abuse compliance, where parties may no longer be able to rely on federal agencies’ policies, rules and guidance. In addition, the decision generally may, among other things, increase the frequency of challenges to decisions and rulemaking of health regulators, including CMS rules regarding reimbursement, and also impact the speed at which federal health regulators make decisions and issue regulations.

We cannot predict whether or how the new Congress may extend or modify provisions of or relating to the ACA or other laws affecting the healthcare industry generally, nor can we predict how the new administration will influence, promulgate or implement rules, regulations or executive orders that affect the healthcare industry directly or indirectly. We may also experience potential impacts on our business, in ways we cannot anticipate, from healthcare-related policy changes at the state level. Some federal and state changes, initiatives and requirements could, among other things, negatively impact our member enrollment, increase our operating costs, adversely affect the reimbursement we receive for our services, impact our competitive position or require us to expend resources to modify certain aspects of our operations, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

54

Changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs or other government healthcare programs, including reductions in scale and scope, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are unable to predict the effect of future government healthcare funding policy changes on our business. If the rates paid by governmental payers are reduced, if the scope of services covered by governmental payers is limited, or if eligibility or enrollment is further restricted, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The outcome of the 2024 federal election increases regulatory uncertainty. Legislation and administrative actions at the federal level may impact the funding for, or structure of, the Medicaid program, including at the state level. In addition, CMS administrators may make changes to Medicaid payment models and may grant states additional flexibility in the administration of state Medicaid programs, including by allowing states to impose eligibility restrictions such as work and community engagement requirements. Current or future health care reform and deficit reduction efforts, changes or delays in laws or regulations regarding government health care programs, other changes in the administration of government health care programs and changes by private third-party payers in response to health care reform and other changes to government health care programs could have a material, adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Healthcare providers could be subject to federal and state investigations and payer audits.

Due to our and our affiliates’ participation in government and private healthcare programs, we are from time to time involved in inquiries, reviews, audits, and investigations by governmental agencies and private payers of our business practices, including assessments of our compliance with coding, billing, and documentation requirements. Federal and state government agencies have active civil and criminal enforcement efforts against healthcare companies and their executives and managers. The DRA provides a financial incentive to states to enact their own false claims acts, and similar laws encourage investigations against healthcare companies by different agencies. These investigations could also be initiated by private whistleblowers. Responding to audit and investigative activities is costly and disruptive to our business operations, even when the allegations are without merit. If we are subject to an audit or investigation, a finding could be made that we or our affiliates erroneously billed or were incorrectly reimbursed, and we may be required to repay such agencies or payers, may be subjected to pre-payment reviews, which can be time-consuming and result in non-payment or delayed payments for the services we or our affiliates provide, and may be subject to financial sanctions or required to modify our operations.

Controls imposed by Medicare, Medicaid, and private payers designed to reduce inpatient services and associated costs may reduce our revenues.

Controls imposed by Medicare, Medicaid, and private payers designed to reduce admissions and lengths of stay, commonly referred to as “utilization review,” have affected and are expected to continue to affect our operations. Federal law contains numerous provisions designed to ensure that services rendered by hospitals and other care providers to Medicare and Medicaid patients meet professionally recognized standards and are medically necessary, and that claims for reimbursement are properly filed. These provisions include a requirement that a sampling of admissions of Medicare and Medicaid patients must be reviewed by quality improvement organizations, which review the appropriateness of Medicare and Medicaid patient admissions and discharges, the quality of care provided, and the appropriateness of cases of extraordinary length of stay or cost on a post-discharge basis. Quality improvement organizations may deny payment for services or assess fines and also have the authority to recommend to the HHS that a provider is in substantial non-compliance with the standards of the quality improvement organization and should be excluded from participation in the Medicare program. The ACA potentially expands the use of prepayment review by Medicare contractors by eliminating statutory restrictions on its use, and, as a result, efforts to impose more stringent cost controls are expected to continue. Utilization review is also a requirement of most non-governmental managed care organizations and other third-party payers. Inpatient utilization, average lengths of stay, and occupancy rates continue to be negatively affected by payer-required pre-admission authorization and utilization review and by third-party payer pressure to maximize outpatient and alternative healthcare delivery services for less acutely ill patients. Although we are unable to predict the effect these controls and any changes thereto may have on our operations, significant limits on the scope of our services reimbursed and on reimbursement rates and fees could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.

55

We do not have a Knox-Keene license covering all of our lines of business.

The Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 was passed by the California State Legislature to regulate California managed care plans and is currently administered by the DMHC. A Knox-Keene Act license is required to operate a healthcare service plan, e.g., an HMO, or an organization that accepts full risk, i.e., accepts full risk for a patient population, including risk related to institutional services, e.g., hospital and professional services. Applying for and obtaining such a license is a time-consuming and detail-oriented undertaking. Although For Your Benefit Inc. (“FYB”) and Community Family Care Health Plan, Inc. ("CFC HP") are licensed by the DMHC as full-service Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans, their respective licenses are limited to Medicare Advantage and Medi-Cal lines of business in designated California counties and do not extend to commercial lines of business.

As such, for those lines of business not covered by our Restricted Knox-Keene licenses, if the DMHC were to determine that we have been inappropriately taking risk for institutional and professional services as a result of our various hospital and physician arrangements without having any Knox-Keene license or applicable regulatory exemption, we may be required to obtain a Knox-Keene license and could be subject to civil and criminal liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

If our affiliated physician groups and Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans are not able to satisfy California regulations related to financial solvency and operational performance, they could become subject to sanctions, and their ability to do business in California could be limited or terminated.

The DMHC has instituted regulations intended to provide a formal mechanism for monitoring the financial solvency and operational performance of RBOs (including capitated physician groups) and Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans in California. Under current DMHC regulations, our affiliated physician groups, as applicable, are required to, among other things:

•
Maintain, at all times, a minimum “cash-to-claims ratio” (which means the organization’s cash, marketable securities, and certain qualified receivables, divided by the organization’s total unpaid claims liability) of 0.75; and
•
Submit periodic reports to the DMHC containing various data and attestations regarding their performance and financial solvency, including IBNR calculations, documentation, and attestations as to whether or not the organization (i) was in compliance with the “Knox-Keene Act” requirements related to claims payment timeliness, and (ii) had maintained compliance with minimum “cash-to-claims ratio,” tangible net equity, and positive working capital requirements.

In the event that a physician group is not in compliance with any of the above criteria, it would be required to describe in a report submitted to the DMHC the reasons for non-compliance and actions to be taken to bring it into compliance. Under such regulations, the DMHC can also make some of the information in the reports public, including, but not limited to, whether or not a particular physician organization met each criteria.

Our revenue will be negatively impacted if our physicians fail to appropriately document their services.

We rely upon our affiliated physicians to appropriately and accurately complete necessary medical record documentation and assign appropriate reimbursement codes for their services. Reimbursement is conditioned upon, in part, our affiliated physicians providing the correct procedure and diagnosis codes and properly documenting the services themselves, including the level of service provided and the medical necessity for the services. If our affiliated physicians have provided incorrect or incomplete documentation or selected inaccurate reimbursement codes, this could result in non-payment for services rendered or lead to allegations of billing fraud. This could subsequently lead to civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, third-party payers may disallow, in whole or in part, requests for reimbursement based on determinations that certain amounts are not covered, services provided were not medically necessary, or supporting documentation was not adequate. Retroactive adjustments may change amounts realized from third-party payers and result in recoupments or refund demands, affecting revenue already received.

56

Primary care physicians may seek to affiliate with our competitors’ IPAs.

It is common in the medical services industry for primary care physicians to be affiliated with multiple IPAs. Our affiliated IPAs, therefore, may enter into agreements with physicians who are also affiliated with our competitors. However, some of our competitors at times have agreements with physicians that require the physician to provide exclusive services. Our affiliated IPAs often have no knowledge, and no way of knowing, whether a physician is subject to an exclusivity agreement without being informed by the physician. Competitors have, in the past, initiated lawsuits against us alleging in part interference with such exclusivity arrangements, and may do so again in the future. An adverse outcome from any such lawsuit could adversely affect our business, cash flows, and financial condition.

If we inadvertently employ or contract with an excluded person, we may face government sanctions.

Individuals and entities can be excluded from participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs for violating certain laws and regulations, or for other reasons such as the loss of a license in any state, even if the person retains other licensure. This means that the excluded person and others are prohibited from receiving payments for such person’s services rendered to Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries, and if the excluded person is a physician, all services ordered (not just provided) by such physician are also non-covered and non-payable. Entities that employ or contract with excluded individuals are prohibited from billing the Medicare or Medicaid programs for the excluded individual’s services and are subject to civil penalties if they do. The HHS Office of the Inspector General maintains a list of excluded persons. Although we have instituted policies and procedures to minimize such risks, there can be no assurance that we will not inadvertently hire or contract with an excluded person, or that our employees or contracts will not become excluded in the future without our knowledge. If this occurs, we may be subject to substantial repayments and civil penalties, and the hospitals at which we furnish services may also be subject to repayments and sanctions, for which they may seek recovery from us, which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, and financial condition.

Compliance with federal and state privacy and data security laws is expensive, and we may be subject to government or private actions due to privacy and security breaches.

We must comply with various federal and state laws and regulations governing the collection, dissemination, access, use, security, and confidentiality of PHI, including HIPAA and HITECH. As part of our medical record keeping, third-party billing, and other services, we collect and maintain PHI in paper and electronic format. Privacy and data security laws and regulations thus could have a significant effect on the manner in which we handle healthcare-related data and communicate with payers. In addition, compliance with these standards could limit our ability to offer services, thereby negatively impacting the business opportunities available to us. Despite our efforts to prevent privacy and security breaches, they may still occur. If any non-compliance with such laws and regulations results in privacy or security breaches, we could be subject to monetary fines, suits, penalties, or sanctions. As a result of the expanded scope of HIPAA through HITECH, we may incur significant costs in order to minimize the amount of “unsecured PHI” that we handle and retain and/or to implement improved administrative, technical, or physical safeguards to protect PHI. We may have to demonstrate and document our compliance efforts, even if there is a low probability that PHI has been compromised, in order to overcome the presumption that an impermissible use or disclosure of PHI results in a reportable breach. We may incur significant costs to notify the relevant individuals, government entities, and, in some cases, the media in the event of a breach and to provide appropriate remediation and monitoring to mitigate any potential damage.

We may be subject to liability for failure to fully comply with applicable corporate and securities laws.

We are subject to various corporate and securities laws. Any failure to comply with such laws could cause government agencies to take action against us, which could restrict our ability to issue securities and result in fines or penalties. Any claim brought by such an agency could also cause us to expend resources to defend ourselves, divert the attention of our management from our business and could significantly harm our business, operating results, and financial condition, even if the claim is resolved in our favor.

57

We may face lawsuits not covered by insurance, and related expenses may be material. Our failure to avoid, defend, and accrue for claims and litigation could negatively impact our results of operations or cash flows.

We are exposed to and become involved in various litigation matters arising out of our business, including from time to time, actual or threatened lawsuits, including litigation matters related to acquired businesses and assets. Malpractice lawsuits are common in the healthcare industry. The medical malpractice legal environment varies greatly by state. The status of tort reform, availability of non-economic damages, or the presence or absence of other statutes, such as elder abuse or vulnerable adult statutes, influence the incidence and severity of malpractice litigation. We may also be subject to other types of lawsuits, such as those initiated by our competitors, stockholders, employees, service providers, contractors, or government agencies, including when we terminate relationships with them, which may involve large claims and significant defense costs. Many states have joint and several liabilities for providers who deliver care to a patient and are at least partially liable. As a result, if one provider is found liable for medical malpractice for the provision of care to a particular patient, all other providers who furnished care to that same patient, which could potentially include us and our affiliated physicians, may also share in the liability, which could be substantial individually or in aggregate.

The defense of litigation, including fees of legal counsel, expert witnesses, and related costs, is expensive and difficult to forecast accurately. Such costs may be unrecoverable even if we ultimately prevail in litigation and could consume a significant portion of our limited capital resources. To defend lawsuits, it may also be necessary for us to divert officers and other employees from our normal business functions to gather evidence, give testimony, and otherwise support litigation efforts. If we lose any material litigation, we could face material judgments or awards against them. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the proceedings in which we are involved now or in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, and financial condition. We may also, in the future, find it necessary to file lawsuits to recover damages or protect our interests. The cost of such litigation could also be significant and unrecoverable, which may also deter us from aggressively pursuing even legitimate claims.

We currently maintain malpractice liability insurance coverage to cover professional liability and other claims for certain hospitalists and clinic physicians. All of our affiliated physicians are required to carry first-dollar coverage with limits of coverage equal to $1.0 million for all claims based on occurrence up to an aggregate of $3.0 million per year. We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us, our affiliated professional organizations, or our affiliated physicians. Liabilities incurred by us or our affiliates in excess of our insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and other claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our professional liability insurance coverage generally must be renewed annually and may not continue to be available to us in future years at acceptable costs and on favorable terms, which could increase our exposure to litigation.

We are also subject to laws and regulations not specifically targeting the healthcare industry, compliance with which could require significant expenditures, and failing to comply with such laws could result in sanctions and penalties.

We are required to comply with various laws and regulations at the local, regional, state, federal, and international levels. These laws and regulations change frequently, and such changes can impose significant costs and other burdens of compliance on our business and suppliers. Any changes in regulations, the imposition of additional regulations, or the enactment of any new legislation that affects employment/labor/immigration, energy costs, health care, tax, environmental issues, including the impact of climate change, or compliance with anti-kickback regulations could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, changes in enforcement priorities by governmental agencies charged with enforcing existing laws and regulations could increase our cost of doing business. Among other things, there continues to be a lack of consistent climate legislation, which creates economic and regulatory uncertainty. There is also an increasing number of anti-environmental, social and governance, including anti-diversity, equity and inclusion, initiatives in the United States that may conflict with other regulatory requirements. The evolving and at times overlapping regulatory regimes to which the Company is subject may change at any time, including as a result of changes in the U.S. political environment.

58

Certain laws and regulations in California, where we have substantial operations, could negatively impact us. For example, the California Finance Lenders Law (the “CFLL”) could be applied to us as a result of our various affiliate and subsidiary loans and similar arrangements. If a regulator were to take the position that such loans were covered by the CFLL, we could be subject to regulatory action that could impair our ability to continue to operate and may have a material adverse effect on our profitability and business as we currently do not hold a CFLL licensure. Pursuant to an exemption under the CFLL, a person may make five or fewer commercial loans in a 12-month period without a CFLL licensure if the loans are “incidental” to the business of the person. This exemption, however, creates some uncertainty as to which loans could be deemed as incidental to our business. In addition, a person without a CFLL licensure may also make a single commercial loan in a 12-month period without the loan being “incidental” to such person’s business. In addition, California recently adopted laws requiring certain climate change-related disclosures. Compliance with these laws could require significant expenditures and a substantial amount of management’s time.

Risks Relating to the Ownership of Astrana’s Common Stock.

We have to meet certain requirements in order to remain a Nasdaq-listed public company.

As a public company, Astrana is required to comply with various regulatory and reporting requirements, including those required by the SEC. Astrana is also subject to Nasdaq listing rules. Complying with these requirements is time-consuming and expensive. No assurance can be given that Astrana can continue to meet the SEC reporting and Nasdaq listing requirements.

Astrana’s common stock may be thinly traded, and its market price may be subject to fluctuations and volatility. Stockholders may be unable to sell their shares at a profit and might incur losses.

The trading price of Astrana’s common stock has been volatile in the past and may continue to be so from time to time in the future. The price at which Astrana’s common stock trades could be subject to significant fluctuation and may be affected by a variety of factors, including the trading volume, our results of operations, the announcement and consummation of certain transactions, and our ability or inability to raise additional capital and the terms thereof, and therefore could fluctuate, and potentially decline, significantly. Other factors that may cause the market price of Astrana’s common stock to fluctuate include:

•
Variations in our operating results, such as actual or anticipated quarterly and annual increases or decreases in revenue, gross margin, or earnings;
•
Changes in our business, operations, or prospects, including announcements relating to strategic relationships, mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, dispositions, other corporate transactions, financings, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;
•
Developments, conditions, or trends in the healthcare industry, including dissatisfaction with the U.S. healthcare industry generally;
•
Changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other healthcare-related companies;
•
General market conditions or domestic or international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors unrelated to our performance or financial condition, including economic, social, or political instability, inflation, wars, civil unrest, terrorism, public health crises, and natural disasters;
•
Sales of stock by Astrana’s stockholders generally and Astrana’s larger stockholders, including insiders, in particular, including sale or distributions of large blocks of common stock by our executives and directors or large stockholders;
•
Volatility and limitations in trading volumes of Astrana’s common stock and the stock market;

59

•
Approval, maintenance, and withdrawal of our and our affiliates’ certificates, permits, registration, licensure, certification, and accreditation by the applicable regulatory or other oversight bodies;
•
Our financing activities, including our ability to obtain financings and prices at which we sell our equity securities, including securities convertible to or exercisable for shares of Astrana’s common stock;
•
Failures to meet external expectations or management guidance;
•
Changes in our capital structure and cash position;
•
Analyst research reports on Astrana’s common stock, including analysts’ recommendations and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;
•
Departures and additions of our key personnel, including our officers or directors;
•
Disputes and litigations related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;
•
Changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics; and
•
Other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.

There may be a limited trading market for Astrana’s common stock. A lack of an active market may contribute to stock price volatility or supply/demand imbalances, make an investment in Astrana’s common stock less attractive to certain investors, and/or impair the ability of Astrana’s stockholders to sell shares at the time they desire or at a price that they consider favorable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of Astrana’s common stock, impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of Astrana’s common stock, or use such stock as consideration to attract and retain talent or engage in business transactions.

If analysts do not report about us, or negatively evaluate us, Astrana’s stock price could decline.

The trading market for Astrana’s common stock will rely in part on the availability of research and reports that third-party analysts publish about us. There are many large companies active in the healthcare industry, which makes it more difficult for us to receive widespread coverage. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade Astrana’s common stock, its price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose market visibility, which in turn could cause Astrana’s stock price to decline.

Because we have no current plans to pay regular cash dividends on our common stock, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

We do not anticipate paying any regular cash dividends on our common stock. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is, and may be, limited by covenants of existing and any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. Similarly, we may not repurchase any shares through our public repurchase program or otherwise return capital to our stockholders. Therefore, any return on investment in our common stock is dependent upon the appreciation of the price of our common stock on the open market, which may not occur.

60

Our current principal stockholders, executive officers, and directors have significant influence over our operations and strategic direction and they could cause us to take actions with which other stockholders might not agree and could delay, deter, or prevent a change of control or a business combination with respect to us.

As of December 31, 2024, our executive officers, directors, five percent or greater stockholders, and their respective affiliated entities in the aggregate own approximately 41.7% of our outstanding common stock (including restricted stock awards held by them, but excluding stock options). As a result, these stockholders, who are entitled to vote their shares in their own interests, acting together, exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other corporate transactions that other stockholders may view as beneficial, or conversely, this concentrated control could result in the consummation of a transaction that other stockholders may not support. This may harm the value of our shares and discourage investors from investing in us.

Provisions under Delaware law and Astrana’s charter and bylaws could deter takeover attempts or attempts to remove its board members or management that might otherwise be beneficial to its stockholders.

Astrana is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally provides that a corporation may not engage in any business combination with any interested stockholder during the three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless certain approval requirements are met. This provision, and others that could be adopted in the future, could make the acquisition of Astrana and the removal of its incumbent officers and directors more difficult for potential acquirers, deter unsolicited takeovers or delay or prevent changes in Astrana’s control or management, including transactions in which Astrana’s stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. These provisions may also limit the ability of Astrana’s stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

Additionally, Astrana’s charter and bylaws contain additional provisions, such as the authorization for its board of directors to issue one or more classes of preferred stock and determine the rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock, which could cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire Astrana on terms not approved by the board, and the ownership requirement for Astrana’s stockholders to call special meetings, that could deter, discourage, or make it more difficult for a change in control of Astrana or for a third party to acquire Astrana, even if such a change in control could be deemed in the interest of Astrana’s stockholders, or if such an acquisition would provide Astrana’s stockholders with a substantial premium for their shares over the market price of Astrana’s common stock.

As such, these provisions could discourage a potential acquirer from acquiring us or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us and increase the likelihood that our incumbent directors and officers will retain their positions.

We may issue additional equity securities in the future, which may result in dilution to existing investors.

If Astrana issues additional equity securities, its existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution. Astrana may sell equity securities and may issue securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock in one or more transactions at prices and manners as we may determine from time to time, including at prices (or conversion or exercise prices) below the market price of Astrana’s common stock, for capital-raising purposes, including in any debt financing, registered offering, or private placement, and new investors could have superior rights such as liquidation and other preferences. To attract and retain the right talent, Astrana also issues equity awards under its equity compensation plans to its officers, other employees, directors, and consultants from time to time. Astrana may also issue additional shares of its common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with future acquisitions or for other business purposes. In addition, the exercise or conversion of outstanding options to purchase shares of Astrana’s stock may result in dilution to its existing stockholders upon any such exercise or conversion.

It em 1C. Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

Astrana Health operates in an increasingly interconnected and digitized world, where the protection of sensitive information and the resilience of our information technology systems are paramount to our mission of delivering exceptional healthcare services. Cybersecurity is a critical component of our enterprise risk management program, reflecting our commitment to safeguarding the privacy and security of the patients, employees, and others who entrust us with their data.

As a healthcare organization, we manage large quantities of protected health information (“PHI”), personally identifiable information (“PII”), and other sensitive data. Recognizing the heightened risks posed by cyber threats, we have implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that is designed to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate the risks associated with these threats. This includes protection against ransomware, phishing attacks, data breaches, and the evolving tactics of sophisticated cyber adversaries, as well as other types of cyber threats. Our cybersecurity program is built upon industry-recognized standards and, and we continuously adapt our program to defend against the changing threat landscape.

Cybersecurity Governance

Astrana Health’s governance framework reflects our commitment to managing cybersecurity risks with accountability and transparency. This framework is rooted in collaboration between executive leadership, employee operational teams, and the Board of Directors, resulting in comprehensive oversight at every level of the organization.

Board Oversight

The Board of Directors oversees cybersecurity as part of its enterprise risk management responsibilities. The Audit Committee reviews cybersecurity risks, including IT internal controls, the use of artificial intelligence, business continuity plans, disaster recovery programs, and data protection initiatives. The Audit Committee also receives regular reports from management, including the CISO (as defined below), on key cybersecurity metrics, threat landscapes, risk mitigation strategies, and significant cybersecurity or data privacy incidents (if any).

Executive Leadership

Our cybersecurity program is led by the Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) with over 25 years of experience in technology, cybersecurity strategy, risk management, and regulatory compliance, including extensive industry experience. The CISO works closely with the Company’s executive leadership to implement and oversee the Company’s cybersecurity initiatives. The CISO is also responsible for broader IT governance and risk management, resulting in a cohesive approach to protecting our technology infrastructure and sensitive data.

AI Policy and Governance

Astrana Health recognizes the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (“AI”) in healthcare and the corresponding responsibility to implement it ethically and securely. Our AI policy and governance framework emphasizes transparency, fairness, and accountability in the use of AI technologies across our operations. This includes rigorous data privacy safeguards, continuous monitoring to mitigate algorithmic bias, and adherence to industry best practices and regulatory standards. An internal committee comprising experts in technology, legal, compliance, and healthcare operations works to ensure that AI deployments meet ethical and cybersecurity standards. Periodic audits and risk assessments are conducted to evaluate the performance, reliability, and security of AI systems in critical workflows.

62

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Astrana Health utilizes a cross-functional governance structure that engages enterprise risk management, compliance, IT, legal, privacy, and data governance teams. Our risk management / cyber working group, which includes certain of our senior leaders, including operations, finance, internal audit, IT, cyber, legal, and communications, meets at least four times per year to discuss significant risks to the Company identified by our enterprise-wide risk management process, including cybersecurity risks identified by our cybersecurity risk management program. The group also discusses the steps management has taken to identify, monitor, assess, and control or avoid such exposures and reviews performance measures against the Company’s risk appetite and tolerance and provides recommendations of corrective action where appropriate. This collaborative approach enables a holistic evaluation of cybersecurity risks and aims to ensure that identified threats are promptly addressed.

Cybersecurity Program Components

Astrana Health’s cybersecurity program employs a multi-layered approach, incorporating a wide range of policies, technologies, and processes to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats.

Proactive Monitoring and Threat Detection

We leverage advanced security technologies and tools to continuously monitor our IT systems and networks. Our 24/7 Security Operations Center is equipped to detect anomalies and respond to emerging threats in real-time, aiming to minimize the risk of undetected cyberattacks.

Employee Training and Awareness

Astrana Health fosters a culture of cybersecurity awareness through mandatory training programs, phishing simulations, and engagement campaigns. These efforts seek to enable employees to identify and report potential threats, thereby reducing organizational vulnerability to common attack vectors.

Data Encryption and Access Controls

Robust encryption protocols safeguard sensitive data, both in transit and at rest. Multi-factor authentication and role-based access controls further restrict unauthorized access, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access critical systems and information.

Incident Response and Recovery

Our comprehensive incident response plan outlines detailed procedures for addressing and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. This plan, which is integrated with our business continuity and disaster recovery strategies, aims to ensure operational resilience and timely remediation of affected systems.

Third-Party Risk Management

Vendors and service providers are rigorously vetted through a structured third-party risk management program. This process includes security assessments, contractual requirements for compliance with cybersecurity standards, and ongoing monitoring to ensure alignment with Astrana Health’s security policies.

Independent Audits and Assessments

External firms conduct regular penetration testing, Service Organization Controls (SOC) 2 audits, and other assessments to validate the effectiveness of our cybersecurity controls and identify areas for improvement.

63

Industry Standards and Benchmarks

Our cybersecurity program is aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. Additionally, periodic tabletop exercises simulate real-world scenarios to test our readiness and improve our incident response capabilities.

Cybersecurity Incidents

Although we have been subject to breaches of our IT systems, including breaches of the IT systems of third-party service providers, the impact of such attacks has not been material to our business strategy, operations or results of operations, financial position, or cash flows through the date of this report. We do not believe that cybersecurity threats resulting from any previous cybersecurity incidents of which we are aware are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company. For additional information on the risks we face from cybersecurity threats, please refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

Ite m 2. Properties

Our corporate headquarters are located in Alhambra, California, where we lease approximately 35,000 square feet of office space in two adjacent buildings from a related party. We also lease approximately 47,500 square feet of office space in Monterey Park, California, from a related party and approximately 14,000 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada.

We lease other offices and medical spaces located in Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Mateo County in California. We also maintain offices and medical spaces in Nevada, Texas and New York. Monthly rental payments range from approximately $1,000 to $0.1 million and have terms that expire between April 2025 and, subject to options to extend provided thereunder, December 2045.

We believe our existing facilities are in good condition, suitable, and adequate for our current requirements. Based on current information and subject to future events and circumstances, we anticipate extending leases on our various facilities as necessary, as they expire, and leasing additional facilities to accommodate possible future growth.

It em 3. 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 14 — “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which disclosure is incorporated by reference herein.

Astrana’s common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “ASTH.”

Record Holders

As of March 6, 2025, there were approximately 662 holders of record of Astrana’s common stock based on our transfer agent’s report.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

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 situation. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, no shares were repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase plan. As of December 31, 2024, $40.5 million remained available 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 December 31, 2024.

(2)
Includes 5,100 shares of common stock repurchased from a member of the Board of Directors on December 10, 2024.

On January 17, 2025, the Company repurchased 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from Allied Physicians of California, a Professional Medical Corporation (“APC”), pursuant to a stock repurchase agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.6 million, based on a purchase price per share of $35.17, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq on the date the agreement was executed. APC is a consolidated VIE affiliate whose common shareholders consists of 250+ original providers. APC owns Astrana stock, and although they’re treated as treasury stock, they are for the sole benefit of the original providers. Certain APC board members and officers are also board members and officers of Astrana. The Company’s Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the repurchase. This repurchase was not made under the Company’s repurchase plan.

Performance Measurement Comparison

The following chart compares our common stock's cumulative total return with the cumulative total return of the Russell 3000 Index and the S&P 500 Healthcare Index from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2024. The annual changes for the five-year period shown in the graph are based on the assumption that $100 was invested in our common stock and in each index on December 31, 2019, and that all dividends were reinvested. The stock price performance in the line graph below does not necessarily indicate future stock price performance.

We believe the Russell 3000 Index is an appropriate independent broad market index because it measures the performance of similar-sized companies in numerous sectors. In addition, we believe the S&P 500 Health Care Index is an appropriate third-party published industry index because it measures the performance of healthcare companies.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In this section, “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” refer to Astrana Health, Inc. (“Astrana”) and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated entities, as appropriate, including its consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

Overview

Astrana Health, Inc. is a leading physician-centric, technology-powered, risk-bearing healthcare management company. Leveraging its proprietary population health management and healthcare delivery platform, Astrana 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 cost-effectively provide coordinated outcomes-based medical care.

Through our RBOs with more than 10,000 contracted physicians, we were responsible for coordinating the care for approximately 1.1 million patients, primarily in California, as of December 31, 2024. These covered patients are comprised of managed care members whose health coverage is provided either through their employers, acquired directly from a health plan, or as a result of their eligibility for Medicaid or Medicare benefits. Our managed patients benefit from an integrated approach that places physicians at the center of patient care and utilizes sophisticated risk management techniques and clinical protocols to provide high-quality, cost-effective care.

2024 Highlights

Astrana Health Recognized with Highest Elite Status in America’s Physician Groups 2024 Standards of Excellence

Eight of Astrana’s affiliates have been recognized as Elite status recipients in the 2024 Standards of Excellence (“SOE”) survey by America’s Physician Groups (“APG”), attaining the highest Elite five-star status in all categories. APG administers this annual comprehensive survey to evaluate which physician groups are best positioned to provide coordinated, patient-centered, and cost-effective care. Now in its 17th year, the APG SOE survey is recognized as the benchmark for evaluating achievements in healthcare delivery among accountable physician practices and organizations. The comprehensive survey assesses various categories, including the sophistication of health information technology, comprehensiveness of population health management programs, ability to provide patient-centered care and advanced primary care, and accountability for costs and quality outcomes.

Acquired and To Be Acquired Businesses and Assets

Agreement to Acquire Certain Assets and Businesses of Prospect

On November 8, 2024, the Company and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries party thereto entered into an Asset and Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. (“Prospect”), as Seller Representative, and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, the Company agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests of Prospect Health Services RI, Inc. (d/b/a Prospect ACO Rhode Island), Alta Newport Hospital, LLC (d/b/a Foothill Regional Medical Center) and Prospect Health Plan, Inc., and substantially all the assets of certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of PHP Holdings, LLC (“PHPH”), for an aggregate purchase price of $745.0 million, subject to customary adjustments, plus the assumption of certain identified liabilities of the Sellers (the “Transaction”). The Company will finance the Transaction with its credit facility with Truist Bank (see “Recent Developments” below for additional information). On January 11, 2025, Prospect filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. Certain businesses and assets of Prospect being acquired by the Company are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the timing of the proposed acquisition could be impacted by the bankruptcy filing and the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of relevant aspects thereof. It is currently anticipated that the Transaction will close in the middle of 2025. The Company cannot provide any assurance that the Transaction will close in a timely manner, or at all.

Prospect is an integrated care delivery system that facilitates and coordinates high-quality clinical care for all. With a network of around 3,000 primary care providers and 10,000 specialists across Southern California, Texas, Arizona, and Rhode Island, Prospect is enabling providers to deliver payer-agnostic, patient-centered care to approximately 610,000 members across Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and Commercial lines of business. This strategic transaction will significantly expand the Company's provider network and should enhance its ability to offer increased access, quality, and value for its members. This transaction is expected to advance our ability to participate in value-based arrangements across Medicare and Medicaid and Commercial in a peer agnostic way, allowing us to make greater investments in local communities and align reimbursement with clinical outcomes. Further, the partnership will help ensure that healthcare remains local and personalized for patients across four states.

Collaborative Health Systems, LLC (“CHS”)

On October 4, 2024, the Company and its affiliated professional entity acquired all the outstanding membership interests relating to Collaborative Health Systems, LLC (“CHS”), Golden Triangle Physician Alliance, and Heritage Physician Networks for an aggregate purchase price of $37.5 million, subject to customary adjustments, plus earnout payments in an aggregate amount of up to $21.5 million. CHS partners with independent providers in caring for over 129,000 Medicare members across 17 states. The acquisition expands both Astrana's and CHS' payer-agnostic care delivery capabilities, which serve members across all lines of business, and further empower CHS' providers in the delivery of care to the communities it serves.

Elation Health

On July 17, 2024, the Company announced an agreement to partner with Elation Health, a clinical-first technology company powering innovation in primary care with more than 32,000 clinicians caring for over 15 million patients using its electronic health record platform. Jointly, the two organizations will work with a group of over 100 primary care providers serving over 20,000 primarily Medicare patients in the Hawaii market and support the group as it continues to grow while investing in high-quality, high-value, accessible primary and multi-specialty care. As part of its commitment to supporting the partnership, Astrana provided a $5.0 million convertible loan, which was subsequently converted on December 31, 2024, to acquire certain assets of Elation’s subsidiary.

68

Community Family Care Medical Group IPA, Inc. (“CFC”) and Advanced Health Management Systems, L.P. (“AHMS”)

In 2023, the Company entered into an Asset and Equity Purchase Agreement to acquire (i) all of the outstanding general and limited partnership interests of AHMS and (ii) substantially all the assets of CFC, in two closings. On January 31, 2024, the Company completed the first closing and acquired certain assets of CFC. On March 31, 2024, the Company completed the second closing and acquired all of the outstanding general and limited partnership interests of AHMS. As a result of the acquisition, the Company took on greater responsibility for the outcomes of the patients it serves with CFC’s full-risk Medicaid Restricted Knox-Keene license.

Other Acquisitions

In addition to the above, the Company also had other acquisitions throughout 2024 which comprised of acquiring assets from a risk-bearing provider organization with over 150 primary care and multi-specialty care providers which serve around 26,000 primarily Medicaid members in the Central Valley of California and purchasing 95% equity interests in a diagnostic and surgical center that also provides ambulatory surgery services.

Partnerships

Partnership with Anthem Blue Cross

On July 15, 2024, the Company announced a new partnership with Anthem Blue Cross to build and operate primary care clinics to improve access to high-quality healthcare for their shared members.

BASS Medical Group

On January 29, 2024, the Company announced its strategic long-term partnership with BASS Medical Group, one of the largest multi-specialty medical groups in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. The two organizations will aim to bring high-quality care via value-based arrangements to patients of all insurance types, including Medicare, Medicaid, ACA Marketplace, and Commercial. Astrana has provided BASS Medical Group with a $20.0 million senior secured promissory note, which is intended to be used, in partnership with Astrana, to continue to grow their footprint and invest in high-quality, high-value, and accessible primary and multi-specialty care for communities across California. The BASS secured promissory note matures on January 11, 2031 and has an interest rate per annum equal to 2.9% plus the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator) compounded annually.

Recent Developments

Key Financial Measures and Indicators

Operating Revenues

Our revenue, which is recorded in the period in which services are rendered and earned, primarily consists of capitation revenue, risk pool settlements and incentives, management fee income, and fee-for-services (“FFS”) revenue. The form of billing and related collection risk for such services may vary by type of revenue and the customer.

Operating Expenses

Our largest expenses consist of the cost of: (i) patient care paid to contracted providers; (ii) information technology equipment and software; and (iii) hiring staff to provide management and administrative support services to our affiliated physician groups, as further described in the following sections. These services include claims processing, utilization management, contracting, accounting, credentialing, and administrative oversight.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental performance measures of our operations for financial and operational decision-making, and are used 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 costs that were solely for the benefit of APC shareholders (“Excluded Assets”). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA over total revenue.

Risk-Bearing Organizations and Patients

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we managed a total of 20 and 15 independent risk-bearing organizations, including both affiliated and non-affiliated, respectively, and the total number of patients for whom we managed the delivery of healthcare services was approximately 1.1 million and 0.9 million, respectively.

71

Revenue

Our total revenue in 2024 was $2,034.5 million, as compared to $1,386.7 million in 2023, an increase of $647.9 million or 47%. The increase in total revenue was primarily attributable our recent acquisitions within our Care Partners segment, along with enrollees transitioning to full risk through the Company’s Restricted Knox-Keene plans.

Cost of Services, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization

Expenses related to the cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, in 2024 were $1,763.2 million, compared to $1,171.7 million in 2023, an increase of $591.4 million or 50%. The overall increase was primarily due to increased participation in a value-based Medicare FFS model, medical costs associated with both professional and institutional risk of our Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan, and increased patient visits, which were commensurate to our increase in revenue.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses in 2024 were $154.1 million, compared to $112.6 million in 2023, an increase of $41.5 million or 37%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount and personnel-related costs to support the continued growth in the depth and breadth of our operations and nonrecurring costs related to acquisitions.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $27.9 million and $17.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $10.2 million. This amount includes depreciation of property and equipment and the amortization of intangible assets. The increase was primarily related to the amortization of our acquired intangibles as a result of our recent business combinations, partially offset by decreased depreciation associated with property and equipment related to real estate assets that were solely for the benefit of APC’s common shareholders. On December 26, 2023, a restructuring transaction occurred to spin-off the real estate business and investments (“Excluded Assets Spin-off”).

Income From Equity Method Investments

Income from equity method investments in 2024 was $4.5 million, compared to $5.6 million in 2023, a decrease of $1.1 million. This amount includes the Company’s portion of the equity method investment’s net earnings or losses. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in income from APC’s equity method investment in LaSalle Medical Associates
– IPA Line of Business.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in 2024 was $33.1 million, compared to $16.1 million in 2023, an increase of $17.0 million. The increase in interest expense for the year was primarily due to an increase in amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $428.2 million on the Amended Credit Agreement, net of payments, compared to $280.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Interest Income

Interest income in 2024 was $14.5 million, compared to $14.2 million in 2023, an increase of $0.3 million. Interest income reflects interest earned on cash held in bank accounts, money market and certificate of deposit accounts, and the interest from our loan receivables.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Unrealized gain on investments in 2024 was $0.7 million, compared to an unrealized loss on investments of $4.6 million in 2023, an increase of $5.3 million. The increase to an unrealized gain on investments was primarily driven by changes in the fair value of equity securities that remained unsold as of December 31, 2024.

72

Other Income

Other income in 2024 was $4.9 million, as compared to other income of $6.1 million in 2023, a decrease of $1.2 million primarily related to APC’s Excluded Assets Spin-off.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $30.9 million in 2024, as compared to $32.0 million in 2023, a decrease of $1.1 million. The decrease in the income tax expense is primarily related to the benefits associated with the 2023 tax structuring.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $6.8 million in 2024, as compared to a net loss of $2.9 million in 2023, an increase of $9.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to absence of expenses incurred by APC’s Excluded Assets since they were spun-off in 2023.

Net Income Attributable to Astrana Health, Inc.

Net income attributable to Astrana Health, Inc. was $43.1 million in 2024, as compared to net income of $60.7 million in 2023, a decrease of $17.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in interest expense and income attributable to noncontrolling interests and partially offset by an increase in unrealized gain on investments.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $170.4 million, as compared to $146.6 million in 2023, an increase of $23.8 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in gross profit as a result of more affiliated RBOs and increased managed lives. This is primarily attributable to our recent acquisitions with our Care Partners segment. See “Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin” below for additional information.

2023 Compared to 2022

See Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024 for a discussion of the Company’s results of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company has three reportable segments: Care Partners, Care Delivery, and Care Enablement. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment revenue growth and 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, see Note 1—“Description of Business” and Note 20— “Segments” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Care Partners Segment

Revenue increased $665.0 million and operating income increased $49.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in total revenue and operating income was primarily attributable to our recent acquisitions within our Care Partners segment, along with enrollees transitioning to full risk through the Company’s Restricted Knox-Keene plans, and revenue from MSSP, as it was the first year the Company participated in the program.

Care Delivery Segment

Revenue increased $18.7 million and operating income decreased $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by increased volume in patient visits at our primary, multi-specialty, and ancillary Care Delivery entities and over 10% increase in our clinic sites. The decrease in operating income was due to an increase in expenses incurred related to our newer clinic locations that opened.

Care Enablement Segment

Revenue increased $19.6 million and operating income decreased $0.8 million for the year ended December 31,2024, compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in revenue was due to more managed independent physician groups. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total number of affiliated physician groups we managed were 20 groups and 15 groups, respectively. The decrease in operating income was due to increased personnel-related costs to support the increase in our managed Care Partners and Care Delivery segment.

74

Care Partners Segment

Revenue and operating income increased $232.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The increase in revenue and operating income was primarily driven by membership growth in our ACO participating in a value-based Medicare FFS model and our acquisition of a Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan in 2023. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in incentive revenue due to the Company recognizing the shared savings from the NGACO program in 2022 for the 2021 performance year.

Care Delivery Segment

Revenue increased $22.2 million and operating income decreased $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to more clinic locations opening during 2023 from our primary, multi-specialty, and ancillary Care Delivery entities. The decrease in operating income was due to more costs incurred for expanding to new locations.

Care Enablement Segment

Revenue increased $15.6 million and operating income decreased $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The increase in revenue was due to more managed independent physician groups. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total number of affiliated physician groups we managed were 15 groups and 14 groups, respectively. The decrease in operating income was due to increased personnel-related costs to support the increase in our managed independent physician groups.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 consistently. 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-K 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 investments in marketable securities at December 31, 2024 totaled $290.8 million. Working capital totaled $272.9 million at December 31, 2024, compared to $242.8 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $30.1 million.

76

We have historically financed our operations primarily through internally generated funds and borrowings on long-term debt. 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. The Company also had the Amended Credit Agreement, which provided for a five-year revolving credit facility of $400.0 million and a term loan of up to $300.0 million, expiring in June 2026 and November 2028, respectively. In February 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which amended and restated the Amended Credit Agreement and provides for a five-year revolving credit facility of $300.0 million, a term loan of $250.0 million, and a delayed draw term loan of $745.0 million, which are primarily intended to be used to refinance certain existing indebtedness and fund the costs associated with closing the Transaction. 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 change in net cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased by $11.2 million from $6.1 million net cash inflows in the year ended December 31, 2023, to $5.1 million net cash outflows in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2024, was $52.2 million, as compared to $68.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by adjusted net income and changes in working capital. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net income exclusive of depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, share-based compensation, non-cash lease expense, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, gain on debt extinguishment, unrealized gains or losses, income from equity method investments, gains or losses from distribution or consolidation of investments, deferred tax and other was $115.8 million compared to $91.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Working capital for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased operating cash flow by $63.6 million, compared to a $23.4 million decrease in operating cash flow at December 31, 2023. The change in working capital for the year ended December 31, 2024, was mainly driven by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to timing of payments, a decrease from prepaid expenses and other current assets, an increase in receivables, net, 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 a decrease from income taxes payable as a result of timing of income tax payments. The decrease in working capital was partially offset by a decrease in our receivables, net — related parties, decrease in other receivables, net, and an increase in our medical liabilities. The decrease in our receivable, net — related parties and other receivables, net was attributable to cash received from our related party hospital risk pool arrangements and collections on reimbursements, respectively. The increase in our medical liabilities was attributable to the timing of claims paid.

Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024, was $192.4 million, primarily due to payments for business and asset acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $146.3 million, issuance of loans of $26.0 million, purchases of property and equipment of $8.0 million, purchase of an equity method investment of $6.0 million, purchase of a call option issued in conjunction with an equity method investment of $3.9 million, purchase of a privately held investment for $2.5 million, and purchase of marketable securities of $0.1 million. The cash used in investing activities was partially offset by proceeds from the repayment of promissory notes of $0.3 million and proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $0.1 million. Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, was $65.5 million, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $28.5 million, issuance of loans of $26.5 million, business acquisition, net of cash, of $6.5 million, purchase of investments in privately held entities for payments for $4.0 million, contributions to an equity method investment of $0.7 million, and purchase of marketable securities of $2.2 million. The cash used in investing activities was partially offset by proceeds from the repayment of promissory notes of $2.7 million and proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $0.5 million.

Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024, was $135.1 million, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to borrowings on long-term debt totaling $171.9 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.8 million, proceeds from ESPP purchases of $0.3 million, and proceeds from the sale of non-controlling interest of $0.2 million. This was partially offset by repayments of debt of $18.5 million, payment of a financing obligation of $8.5 million, tax payments from net share settlement of restricted stock awards and units of $4.7 million, dividend payments of $4.0 million, repurchase of treasury shares of $0.9 million, repayment of finance lease obligations of $0.7 million, and payment of contingent liabilities of $0.5 million. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily attributable to borrowings on our debt of $284.5 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.5 million. This was partially offset by repayment of debt for $204.7 million, dividends payments of $62.1 million, repurchase of common shares of $10.2 million, debt issuance costs of $3.9 million for our Amended Credit Agreement, payments related to our contingent liabilities of $1.0 million, and repayment of finance lease obligations of $0.7 million.

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, 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 to the Company of $400.0 million (“Revolver Loan”), which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $25.0 million and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million.

On December 20, 2022, an amendment was made to the Amended Credit Facility, in which all amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement as of the effective date were automatically converted from London Interbank Offered 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.

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.

In May 2024, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which updates the letter of credit provisions in the Amended Credit Agreement to provide the Company with the ability to have letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Agreement that extend beyond the maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement.

On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank, in its capacities as administrative agent for the lenders, issuing bank, swingline lender and a lender, and the banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto, to, among other things, amend and restate the Amended Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for (a) a five-year revolving credit facility to the Company of $300.0 million, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100.0 million and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million, (b) a five-year term loan A credit facility to the Company of $250.0 million and (c) a five-year delayed draw term loan credit facility to the Company of $745.0 million. The term loan A and revolving credit facilities are intended to be used to, among other things, refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Company and certain subsidiaries, pay transactions costs and expenses arising in connection with the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and provide for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes, and, in addition to the foregoing, the revolving credit facility will also be used to finance certain future permitted acquisitions and permitted investments and capital expenditures. The delayed draw term loan facility will be used to finance the Transaction.

See Note 10—“Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit” and Note 22–“Subsequent Events” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the Amended Credit Agreement and Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, respectively.

Promissory Note Payable

On April 1, 2024, the Company received $8.3 million as a promissory note with a maturity date of March 31, 2027. I Health may accelerate the maturity date if the Company does not exercise the I Health Call Options. On July 1, 2024, an amendment was made to the I Health Promissory Note that, among other things, increased the original principal amount by an additional $1.6 million. As a result, the total amount payable under the I Health Promissory Note is $9.9 million. See Note 10—“Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the Promissory Note Payable.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2024, the Amended Credit Agreement had unamortized deferred financing costs of $4.3 million, of which $0.9 million of unamortized deferred financing costs was recognized in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and consisted of unamortized deferred financing costs related to unborrowed amounts available on the Revolver Loan, and $3.4 million 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 years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was 7.05%, 6.19%, and 3.22%, respectively. Interest expense in the consolidated statements of income included amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 of $1.8 million, $1.1 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.

Lines of Credit

On September 10, 2019, APC amended its promissory note agreement with Preferred Bank (“APC Business Loan Agreement”), which is affiliated with one of the Company’s board members, to modify loan availability to $4.1 million. This decrease further limited the purpose of the indebtedness under the APC Business Loan Agreement to the issuance of standby letters of credit, and added as a permitted lien the security interest in all of its assets granted by APC in favor of AHM under a Security Agreement dated on or about September 11, 2019 securing APC’s obligations to AHM under, and as required pursuant to, that certain Management Services Agreement dated as of July 1, 1999, as amended.

Standby Letters of Credit

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company established irrevocable standby letters of credit with Truist Bank for a total of $25.0 million for the benefit of CMS and certain health plans as of December 31, 2024. 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 a financial institution for a total of $2.1 million for the benefit of certain health plans as of December 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and to the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded if and when better information becomes available. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that the accounting policies discussed below are those that are most important to the presentation of its financial condition and results of operations and that require its management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 —“Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 include Astrana’s wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

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 as well as 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 assessment, accrual of medical liabilities (incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims), determination of hospital shared-risk and health plan shared-risk revenue and receivables (including estimations of affiliated hospitals’ claims costs which involves assumptions for IBNR, such as utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors), 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.

Receivables and Receivables – Related Parties

The Company’s receivables are comprised of accounts receivable, capitation and fee for service receivable, risk pool settlements, incentive receivables, management fee income, and other receivables. Accounts receivable are recorded and stated as 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.

Capitation receivables relate to each health plan’s capitation and are usually received by the Company in the month following the month of service. Capitation receivables also include receivables from CMS related to the Company’s participation in the ACO REACH model. 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 amounts due from the seller associated with acquisitions, transportation reimbursements from the hospitals, and stop-loss insurance premium reimbursements.

81

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 based on historical trends. Any change in such estimate of reserves are recorded in the period when such change is identified.

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. Regarding the credit loss standard, the Company continuously monitors its collections of receivables. 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.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investment in marketable securities, receivables, loans receivable – related parties, accounts payable, certain accrued expenses, capital lease obligations, bank loan, line of credit – related party, 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 amount of the loan receivables – related parties, net of current portion, bank loan, capital lease obligations line of credit - related party, 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. The FASB’s 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 disclosures of the inputs to valuations used to measure fair value.

This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

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.

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 which are expensed as incurred.

82

Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives include network relationships, management contracts, member relationships, patient management platform, tradename/trademarks, and developed technology. The valuations of these intangible assets are based on the multi-period excess earnings method, cost to recreate method, or the relief from royalty method. Network relationships are amortized based on the discounted cash flow rate or using the straight-line method. Management contracts, patient management platform, and tradename/trademarks are amortized using the straight-line method. Member relationships are amortized using the discounted cash flow method. Intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

Finite-lived intangibles and long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of such assets (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on appropriate valuation techniques.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Under ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment under a two-step process.

•
Step 1—Under a qualitative assessment, determine if there are indicators of impairment. If so, proceed to Step 2.
•
Step 2—Under a quantitative assessment, if the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying value, there is an impairment.

The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to quantitative testing. The Company’s four reporting units consist of the following:

•
Care Partners – IPA;
•
Care Partners – ACO;
•
Care Delivery; and
•
Care Enablement.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If this event arises, the impairment loss recorded is equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value.

At least annually, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment. Impairment for intangible assets with indefinite lives exists if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are determined using valuation techniques based on estimates, judgments, and assumptions management believes are appropriate in the circumstances.

Accrual of Medical Liabilities

The Company’s Care Partners segment is responsible for integrated care that the associated physicians and contracted hospitals provide to their enrollees. The Company’s Care Partners segment provides integrated care to HMOs, Medicare, and Medi-Cal enrollees through a network of contracted providers under sub-capitation and direct patient service arrangements. Medical costs for professional and institutional services rendered by contracted providers are recorded as cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

83

An estimate of amounts due to contracted physicians, hospitals, and other professional providers is included in medical liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Medical liabilities include claims reported as of the balance sheet date and estimated IBNR claims. Such estimates are developed using actuarial methods and are based on numerous variables, including the utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, product mix, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors. The estimation methods and the resulting reserves are periodically reviewed and updated. Many of the medical contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of various services. Such differing interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed following the contract implementation.

Capitation, Net

The Company participates in the ACO REACH model with CMS. By entering into a contract with CMS, an ACO voluntarily takes on operational, financial, and legal responsibilities and risks that no party has, individually or collectively, under the existing FFS model. 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 ACOs’ 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 the ACOs’ performance. 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. We recognize revenue related to the ACO Reach Model within capitation revenue in our consolidated statements of income because of the similar shared characteristics to our other capitation revenue. Revenue is recorded on a gross basis and is comprised of capitated fees for medical services provided, for which the Company is assigned the responsibility and management of.

Risk Pool Settlements and Incentives

Certain IPAs enter into hospital shared-risk capitation arrangements with certain health plans and local hospitals, where the hospital is responsible for providing, arranging, and paying for institutional risk, and the IPA is responsible for providing, arranging, and paying for professional risk. Under a hospital shared-risk pool-sharing agreement, the IPA generally receives a percentage of the net surplus from the affiliated hospital’s risk pools with HMOs after deductions for the affiliated hospital’s costs. Advance settlement payments are typically made quarterly in arrears if there is a surplus. The Company’s risk pool settlements under hospital shared-risk capitation arrangements are recognized using the most likely amount methodology, and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. The receivables related to these risk pool arrangements incorporate estimates of the affiliated hospitals’ claims costs, including IBNR claims which include actuarial methods based on utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors.

Under capitated arrangements with certain HMOs, certain IPAs participate in one or more health plan shared-risk arrangements relating to the provision of institutional services to enrollees and thus can earn additional revenue or incur losses based upon the enrollee utilization of institutional services. Health plan shared-risk arrangements are entered into with certain health plans, which are administered by the health plan, where the IPA is responsible for rendering professional services, but the health plan does not enter into a capitation arrangement with a hospital, and therefore the health plan retains the institutional risk. Health plan shared-risk deficits, if any, are not payable until and unless (and only to the extent) risk-sharing surpluses are generated. At the termination of the HMO contract, any accumulated deficit will be extinguished. Final settlement of risk pools for prior contract years generally occurs in the third or fourth quarter of the following year. The Company has limited insight from the health plans on the amount and timing of the health plan shared-risk payments. These amounts are considered to be fully constrained and only recorded when such payments can be reasonably estimated and to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur once such settlement occurs.

84

In addition to risk-sharing revenues, the Company also receives incentives under “pay-for-performance” programs for quality medical care, based on various criteria. As an incentive to promote quality care, certain HMOs have designed quality incentive programs and commercial generic pharmacy incentive programs to compensate the Company for its efforts to improve the quality of services and efficient and effective use of pharmacy supplemental benefits provided to HMO members. The incentive programs track specific performance measures and calculate payments to the Company based on the performance measures. The Company’s incentives under “pay-for-performance” programs are recognized using the most likely methodology.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains a stock-based compensation program for employees, non-employees, directors, and consultants. From time to time, the Company issues shares of its common stock to its employees, directors, and consultants, which shares may be subject to the Company’s repurchase right (but not obligation), that vest based on time-based and/or performance-based vesting schedules. The value of share-based awards is recognized as compensation expense and adjusted for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation expenses for time-based awards are recognized on a cumulative straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Share-based awards with performance conditions are recognized to the extent the performance conditions are probable to be achieved. Compensation expenses for performance-based awards are recognized on an accelerated attribution method. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards is the grant date’s closing market price of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and includes several assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends, and risk-free rates. The expected term is presumed to be the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The expected stock price volatility is determined based on an average of historical volatility. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s expected dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Constant Maturity curve over the expected term of the option at the time of grant.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. The expected term of the lease used for computing the lease liability and right-of-use asset and determining the classification of the lease as operating or financing may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company elected practical expedients for ongoing accounting that were provided by the new standard comprised of the following:

•
The election for classes of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components from lease components, and
•
The election for short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with under twelve-month terms.

The present value of the lease payments is calculated using a rate implicit in the lease, when readily determinable. However, as most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments for the majority of its leases.

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).

The Company consolidates VIEs whenever it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.

85

Investment in Other Entities — Equity Method

The Company accounts for certain investments using the equity method of accounting when it is determined that the investment provides the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the investee and is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income under “Income from equity method investments” and also is adjusted by contributions to and distributions from the investee. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized no impairment loss.

Non-controlling Interests

The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Non-controlling interests represent third-party equity ownership interests (including equity ownership interests held by certain VIEs) in the Company’s consolidated entities. Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is disclosed in the consolidated statements of income.

Mezzanine Deficit

Pursuant to APC’s shareholder agreements, in the event of a disqualifying event, as defined in the agreements, APC could be required to repurchase its shares from the respective shareholders based on certain triggers outlined in the shareholder agreements. As the redemption feature of the shares is not solely within the control of APC, the equity of APC does not qualify as permanent equity and has been classified as mezzanine or temporary equity. Accordingly, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests in APC as mezzanine deficit in the consolidated financial statements. APC’s shares were not redeemable, and it was not probable that the shares would become redeemable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

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 consolidated financial statements. Once the recognition threshold is met, the tax position is measured to determine the actual amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.

Borrowings under the Term Loan provided for under our Amended Credit Agreement, as of December 31, 2024, were $281.5 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 (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), 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 December 31, 2024, the Company had borrowed $146.7 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 with I Health, as of December 31, 2024, was $9.9 million. The promissory note has an interest rate of 4.30% per annum on the principal amount. 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 interest rate collar sets a cap of 5.00% and a floor of 2.34% for the SOFR portion of the interest rate. 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 our interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 by $3.8 million or decreased our interest expense by $4.4 million.

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Astrana Health, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Astrana Health, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, mezzanine and stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated March 14, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

| Valuation of Incurred but not Reported (IBNR) Claims Liability
Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2024, the Company’s medical liabilities totaled $209.0 million. As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, medical liabilities include reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims. The IBNR liability is an estimate that management developed using actuarial methods and is based on numerous variables, including the utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, product mix, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors. Auditing management’s estimate of the IBNR liability involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the complexity of the models used by management and the nature of the significant assumptions used in the estimation of the liability. We involved our actuarial specialists to assist with the testing due to the highly judgmental nature of assumptions used in the valuation process, including completion factors and per member per month trend factors. These assumptions have a significant effect on the valuation of the IBNR liability.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the process for estimating the IBNR liability. This included testing management review controls over completion factor and per member per month trend factor assumptions, and management’s review of actuarial methods used to calculate the IBNR liability, including the completeness and accuracy of data inputs and outputs of those models. To test the IBNR liability, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of data used in the Company’s models by testing reconciliations of underlying claims and membership data recorded in source systems to the actuarial reserve models, and comparing claims to source documentation. With the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we compared management’s methods and assumptions used in their analysis with historical experience, consistency with generally accepted actuarial methodologies used within the industry, and observable healthcare trend levels within the markets the Company operates. With the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we used the Company’s underlying claims and membership data to develop an independent range of IBNR estimates and compared management’s recorded IBNR liability to our range. Additionally, we performed a hindsight review of prior period estimates using subsequent claims development, and we evaluated management’s disclosures in the financial statements surrounding IBNR.

| Related Party Risk Pool Settlements and Related Receivables
Description of the Matter | As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, certain IPAs enter into hospital shared-risk capitation arrangements with certain health plans and local related party hospitals, where the hospital is responsible for providing, arranging, and paying for institutional risk, and the IPA is responsible for providing, arranging, and paying for professional risk. Under a hospital shared-risk pool-sharing agreement, the IPA generally receives a percentage of the net surplus from the affiliated hospital’s risk pools with health plans after deductions for the affiliated hospital’s costs. Advance settlement payments are typically made quarterly in arrears if there is a surplus. The Company’s risk pool settlements under hospital shared risk capitation arrangements are recognized using the most likely amount methodology, and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. The receivables related to these risk pool arrangements incorporate estimates of the affiliated hospitals’ claims costs, including IBNR claims which include actuarial methods based on utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors. Auditing management’s estimate of the risk pool settlements and related receivables involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the complexity of the models used by management and the nature of the significant assumptions used in the estimation of IBNR claims incorporated within such estimate. We involved our actuarial specialists to assist with the testing due to the highly judgmental nature of assumptions used in the valuation process, including completion factors and per member per month trend factors. These assumptions have a significant effect on the valuation of the affiliated hospitals’ risk pool settlements and related receivables.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process for estimating risk pool settlements and related receivable amounts. We tested management review controls over completion factor and per member per month trend factor assumptions, and management’s review of actuarial methods used to calculate the IBNR claims included within the estimate of risk pool settlements and related receivable amounts, including the completeness and accuracy of data inputs and outputs of those models. Our audit procedures included, among others, confirming the external data used in the calculations of risk pools directly with the related party hospitals and performing a hindsight analysis to assess how precise the Company’s prior year estimates were compared to the final settled amounts. To test the IBNR claims incorporated within the estimate of risk pool settlements and related receivable amounts, with the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we compared management’s methods and assumptions used in their analysis with historical experience, consistency with generally accepted actuarial methodologies used within the industry, and observable healthcare trend levels within the markets the Company operates. With the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we used the affiliated hospitals’ underlying claims and membership data to develop an independent range of IBNR claims and compared management’s estimated IBNR claims to our range.

ASTRANA HEALTH, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Descriptio n of Business

Overview

Unless the context dictates otherwise, references in these notes to the financial statements, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar words are references to Astrana 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 of whom the majority are covered by private or public insurance provided through Medicare, Medicaid, and health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), with a small portion of its 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 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 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 Advantage, Medicaid, Commercial, Exchange, and Medicare fee for service (“FFS”). The Company’s healthcare delivery entities consist of a network of risk-bearing organizations (“RBOs”) that encompass independent practice associations (“IPAs”), accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), and state-specific entities such as Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans in California. These entities are tasked with the coordination and provision of high-quality care to patients within Astrana's ecosystem. This helps provide a seamless continuity of care among patients in different age groups, stages of life, and life circumstances. The Company participates in the Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health Model (“ACO REACH”), and 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;

99

•
Specialty care clinics and inpatient services, including cardiac care, endocrinology, and ophthalmology as well as hospitalist and intensivist services; 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 represents a comprehensive platform that integrates clinical, operational, financial, and administrative information, all powered by the Company’s proprietary technology suite. This platform enhances the delivery of high-quality, value-based care to patients and helps lead to superior clinical and financial outcomes. The Company provides solutions to payers and providers, including independent physicians, provider and medical groups, and ACOs. The Company’s platform meets providers and payers wherever they are on the spectrum of total cost of care, offering solutions for fee-for-service entities to providers open to taking upside and downside, risks on professional and institutional spending and across all patient types, including Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial, and Exchange patients. This segment includes the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries that operate as management services organizations (“MSOs”), which enter into long-term management and/or administrative services agreements with RBOs and other 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.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 include Astrana’s wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 as well as 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 assessment, accrual of medical liabilities (incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims), determination of hospital shared-risk and health plan shared-risk revenue and receivables (including estimations of affiliated hospitals’ claims costs which involves assumptions for IBNR, such as utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors), 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.

100

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 (see “Investments in Privately Held Entities” and “Investment in Other Entities - Equity Method” within Note 2 — “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”). 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 day-to-day management of the entity’s activities; or
▪
Substantive kick-out rights over the party responsible for significant decisions;
•
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, 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

101

•
The obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (economics).

The Company consolidates VIEs whenever it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary. See Note 18— “Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)” to the consolidated financial statements for information on the Company’s consolidated VIEs. If there are variable interests in a VIE but the Company is not the primary beneficiary, the Company may account for the investment using the equity method of accounting, see Note 6—“Investments in Other Entities” for entities that qualify as VIEs but the Company is not the primary beneficiary.

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 which are expensed as incurred.

Reportable Segments

The Company operates as three reportable segments:

•
Care Partners;
•
Care Delivery; and
•
Care Enablement.

See Note 1—“Description of Business” and Note 20—“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 90 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s deposit accounts with banks exceeded the FDIC’s insured limit by approximately $332.2 million and $318.9 million, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses to date and performs ongoing evaluations of these financial institu tions to limit the Company’s concentration of risk exposure.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash held as collateral in the event of default as required by certain health plan contracts.

102

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 in investments in marketable securities are reported at par value, plus accrued interest, with maturity dates greater than ninety days. Equity securities are reported at fair value. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy, where quoted market prices from reputable third-party brokers are available in an active market and unadjusted.

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

The Company’s receivables are comprised of accounts receivable, capitation and fee for service 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 consist of promissory notes that accrue interest per annum and are recorded and stated at amortized cost plus accrued interest. Interest income is accrued based on the outstanding principal amounts. As of December 31, 2024, promissory notes are expected to be collected by their maturity date.

Capitation receivables relate to each health plan’s capitation revenue and are usually received by the Company in the month following the month of service. Capitation receivables also include receivables from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) related to the Company’s participation in the ACO REACH model. 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 amounts due from the seller associated with acquisitions, 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 based on historical trends. Any change in such estimate of reserves are recorded in the period when such change is identified.

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. The Company continuously monitors its collections of receivables, and the Company’s expectation is that the historical credit loss experienced across its 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 consolidated statements of income present disaggregated revenue by service type. The following table presents disaggregated revenue generated by each payer type (in thousands):

|  | Years Ended December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Commercial |  | $ | 181,966 |  |  | $ | 167,048 |  |  | $ | 171,723 |
Medicare |  |  | 1,199,466 |  |  |  | 901,322 |  |  |  | 633,463 |
Medicaid |  |  | 576,936 |  |  |  | 266,093 |  |  |  | 280,083 |
Other third parties |  |  | 76,172 |  |  |  | 52,198 |  |  |  | 58,894 |
Revenue |  | $ | 2,034,540 |  |  | $ | 1,386,661 |  |  | $ | 1,144,163 |

The Company had major payers from its Care Partners segment that contributed the following percentages of net revenue:

|  | Years Ended December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Payer A |  |  | 33.8 | % |  |  | 38.8 | % |  |  | 34.2 | %
Payer B |  |  | 13.4 | % |  |  | 10.1 | % |  | *% |

* Less than 10% of total net revenues

The Company had major payers that contributed to the following percentages of receivables, net, receivables-related parties, and other receivables:

|  | As of December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Payer A |  |  | 38.9 | % |  |  | 36.0 | %
Payer C |  |  | 16.1 | % |  |  | 41.0 | %
Payer D |  |  | 18.3 | % |  | *% |

* Less than 10% of total receivables, net, receivables-related parties, and other receivables

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to thirty-nine years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the terms of the respective leases or the expected useful lives of those improvements.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is included in the determination of consolidated net income.

104

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, long-term debt, and certain other liabilities. 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.

This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

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.

There have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 classification and no changes in valuation techniques for these assets and liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives include network relationships, management contracts, member relationships, patient management platform, tradename/trademarks, and developed technology. The valuations of these intangible assets are based on the multi-period excess earnings method, cost to recreate method, or the relief from royalty method. Network relationships are amortized based on the discounted cash flow rate or using the straight-line method. Management contracts, patient management platform, and tradename/trademarks are amortized using the straight-line method. Member relationships are amortized using the discounted cash flow method. Intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

Finite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of such assets (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on appropriate valuation techniques.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Under ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment under a two-step process.

•
Step 1— Under a qualitative assessment, determine if there are indicators of impairment. If so, proceed to Step 2.
•
Step 2—Under a quantitative assessment, if the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying value, there is an impairment.

105

The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to quantitative testing. The Company’s four reporting units consist of the following:

•
Care Partners – IPA;
•
Care Partners – ACO;
•
Care Delivery; and
•
Care Enablement.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If this event arises, the impairment loss recorded is equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value.

At least annually, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment. Impairment for intangible assets with indefinite lives exists if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are determined using valuation techniques based on estimates, judgments, and assumptions management believes are appropriate in the circumstances. The Care Enablement reporting unit had a negative carrying amount of net assets as of December 31, 2024 and goodwill of approximately $144.1 million.

The Company had no impairment of its goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Investments in Other Entities—Equity Method

The Company accounts for certain investments using the equity method of accounting when it is determined that the investment provides the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%. However, other factors, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the investee and is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income under “Income from equity method investments” and also is adjusted by contributions to and distributions from the investee.

Investments in Privately Held Entities

The Company accounts for certain equity investments using the cost basis, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, when there is no readily determinable fair value. As of December 31, 2024, our investments in privately held entities was $8.9 million for which a fair value is not readily determinable and we do not have significant influence. Therefore, the total amounts invested are recognized at cost. Observable price changes and impairments are recognized in net income. See Note 6—“Investments in Other Entities.”

Medical Liabilities

The Company’s Care Partners segment is responsible for integrated care that the associated physicians and contracted hospitals provide to their enrollees. The Company’s Care Partners segment provides integrated care to HMOs, Medicare, and Medi-Cal enrollees through a network of contracted providers under sub-capitation and direct patient service arrangements. Medical costs for professional and institutional services rendered by contracted providers are recorded as cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

106

An estimate of amounts due to contracted physicians, hospitals, and other professional providers is included in medical liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Medical liabilities include claims reported as of the balance sheet date and estimated IBNR claims. Such estimates are developed using actuarial methods and are based on numerous variables, including the utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, product mix, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors. The estimation methods and the resulting reserves are periodically reviewed and updated. Many of the medical contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of various services. Such differing interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed following the contract implementation.

Fiduciary Cash and Payable

The Company’s Care Partner segment collects cash from health plans on behalf of their sub-IPAs and providers and passes the money through to them. The fiduciary cash balance of $8.2 million and $7.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the related payable is presented as fiduciary payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

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 income; 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 collection risk for such services may vary by type of revenue and the customer.

Nature of Services and Revenue Streams

Revenue primarily consists of capitation revenue, risk pool settlements and incentives, ACO REACH capitation revenue, MSSP revenue, management fee income, 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 collection risk for such services may vary by type of revenue and the customer. The following is a summary of the principal forms of the Company’s billing arrangements and how revenue is recognized for each.

107

Capitation, Net

Managed care revenues of the Company consist primarily of capitated fees for medical services provided by the Company under a capitated arrangement directly made with various managed care providers, including HMOs. Capitation revenue is typically prepaid monthly to the Company based on the number of enrollees selecting the Company as their healthcare provider. Capitation revenue is recognized in the month in which the Company is obligated to provide services to plan enrollees under contracts with various health plans. Minor ongoing adjustments to prior months’ capitation, primarily arising from contracted HMOs finalizing their monthly patient eligibility data for additions or subtractions of enrollees, are recognized in the month they are communicated to the Company. Additionally, Medicare pays capitation using a “Risk Adjustment” model, which compensates managed care organizations and providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual enrollee. Health plans and providers with higher acuity enrollees will receive more and those with lower acuity enrollees will receive less. Under Risk Adjustment, capitation is determined based on health severity, measured using patient encounter data. Capitation is paid on a monthly basis based on data submitted for the enrollee for the preceding year and is adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled. Positive or negative capitation adjustments are made for Medicare enrollees with conditions requiring more or fewer healthcare services than assumed in the interim payments. Since the Company cannot reliably predict these adjustments, periodic changes in capitation amounts earned as a result of Risk Adjustment are recognized when those changes are communicated by the health plans to the Company.

Per member per month (“PMPM”) managed care contracts generally have a term of one year or longer. The Company assesses the profitability of its managed care contracts to identify contracts where current operating results or forecasts indicate probable future losses. If anticipated future variable costs exceed anticipated future revenues, a premium deficiency reserve is recognized. No premium deficiency reserves were recorded as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. All managed care contracts have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series for the provision of managed healthcare services for a population of enrolled members for the duration of the contract. The transaction price for PMPM contracts is variable as it primarily includes PMPM fees associated with unspecified membership that fluctuates throughout the contract. In certain contracts, PMPM fees also include adjustments for items such as performance incentives, performance guarantees, and risk sharing. The Company generally estimates the transaction price using the most likely amount methodology, and amounts are only included in the net transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. The majority of the Company’s net PMPM transaction price relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to transfer the service for a distinct increment of the series (e.g., day or month) and is recognized as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to service.

CMS contracts with ACOs, 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 ACO REACH model changes the distribution of responsibilities, risks, costs, and rewards among CMS, ACOs, and providers. By entering into a contract with CMS, an ACO voluntarily takes on operational, financial, and legal responsibilities and risks that no party has, individually or collectively, under the existing FFS model. Each ACO bears the economic costs, and reaps the economic rewards, of fulfilling its responsibilities and managing its risks as an ACO.

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 ACOs’ 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 the ACOs’ performance. 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. We recognize revenue related to the ACO Reach Model within capitation revenue in our consolidated statements of income because of the similar shared characteristics to our other capitation revenue. Revenue is recorded on a gross basis and is comprised of capitated fees for medical services provided, for which the Company is assigned the responsibility and management of.

108

Risk Pool Settlements and Incentives

Certain IPAs enter into hospital shared-risk capitation arrangements with certain health plans and local hospitals, where the hospital is responsible for providing, arranging, and paying for institutional risk, and the IPA is responsible for providing, arranging, and paying for professional risk. Under a hospital shared-risk pool-sharing agreement, the IPA generally receives a percentage of the net surplus from the affiliated hospital’s risk pools with health plans after deductions for the affiliated hospital’s costs. Advance settlement payments are typically made quarterly in arrears if there is a surplus. The Company’s risk pool settlements under hospital shared risk capitation arrangements, which include arrangements with related parties (see Note 15—“Related-Party Transactions”), are recognized using the most likely amount methodology, and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. The receivables related to these risk pool arrangements incorporate estimates of the affiliated hospitals’ claims costs, including IBNR claims which include actuarial methods based on utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors.

Under capitated arrangements with certain HMOs, certain IPAs participate in one or more health plan shared-risk arrangements relating to the provision of institutional services to enrollees. They can earn additional revenue or incur losses based upon the enrollee utilization of institutional services. Health plan shared-risk arrangements are entered into with certain health plans, which are administered by the health plan, where the IPA is responsible for rendering professional services, but the health plan does not enter into a capitation arrangement with a hospital, and therefore the health plan retains the institutional risk. Health plan shared-risk deficits, if any, are not payable until and unless (and only to the extent) risk-sharing surpluses are generated. At the termination of the HMO contract, any accumulated deficit will be extinguished. Final settlement of health plan shared-risk pools for prior contract years generally occur in the third or fourth quarter of the following year. The Company has limited insight from the health plans on the amount and timing of the health plan shared-risk payments. These amounts are considered to be fully constrained and only recorded when such payments can be reasonably estimated and to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur once such settlement occurs.

The Company also receives incentives under “pay-for-performance” programs for quality medical care, based on various criteria. As an incentive to promote quality care, certain HMOs have designed quality incentive programs and commercial generic pharmacy incentive programs to compensate the Company for its efforts to improve the quality of services and efficient and effective use of pharmacy supplemental benefits provided to HMO members. The incentive programs track specific performance measures and calculate payments to the Company based on the performance measures. The Company’s incentives under “pay-for-performance” programs are recognized using the most likely methodology.

CMS sponsors the Medicare Shared Savings Program. The MSSP allows ACOs to receive a share of cost savings they generate in connection with the managing of costs and quality of medical services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries. Payments to ACO participants, if any, are calculated annually and paid once a year by CMS on cost savings generated by the ACO participant relative to the ACO participants’ CMS benchmark. Under the MSSP, an ACO must meet certain qualifications to receive the full amount of its allocable cost savings or they either receive nothing or are responsible for shared losses. The MSSP rules require CMS to develop a benchmark for savings to be achieved by each ACO if the ACO is to receive shared savings. An ACO that meets the MSSP’s quality performance standards will be eligible to receive a share of the savings to the extent its assigned beneficiary medical expenditures are below the medical expenditure benchmark provided by CMS. A Minimum Savings Rate (“MSR”) must be achieved before the ACO can receive a share of the savings. Once the MSR is surpassed, all the savings below the benchmark provided by CMS will be shared at a certain percentage with the ACO. The MSR varies depending on the number of beneficiaries assigned to the ACO.

109

The Company participates in the 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 the Company 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 participants 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. Due to its similar shared characteristics, the Company recognizes MSSP revenue within risk pool settlements and incentives revenue in its consolidated statements of income and recognize these revenues on a net basis.

Next Generation Accountable Care Organization (“NGACO”) AIPBP Revenue

Under the NGACO Model, CMS aligned beneficiaries to the Company to manage direct care and pay providers based on a budgetary benchmark established with CMS. As the Company’s ACO did not have sufficient insight into the financial performance of the shared risk pool with CMS, the Company’s ACO could not determine the amount of surplus or deficit that would likely be recognized in the future and therefore this shared risk pool revenue was considered fully constrained. With the ending of the NGACO Model on December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $48.8 million related to savings from the 2021 performance year as revenue in risk pool settlements and incentives in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Management Fee Income

Management fee income encompasses fees paid for management, physician advisory, healthcare staffing, administrative, and other non-medical services provided by the Company to IPAs, ACOs, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. Such fees may be in the form of billings at agreed-upon hourly rates, percentages of gross revenue or fee collections, amounts fixed on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, or assessed cost recovery based on the specific or allocated expenditures related to the managed entities. The revenue may include variable arrangements measuring factors, such as hours staffed, patient visits, or collections per visit, against benchmarks, and, in certain cases, may be subject to achieving quality metrics or fee collections. The Company recognizes such variable supplemental revenues in the period when such amounts are determined to be fixed and therefore contractually obligated as payable by the customer under the terms of the applicable agreement.

The Company provides a significant service of integrating the services selected by the Company’s clients into one overall output for which the client has contracted. Therefore, such management contracts generally contain a single performance obligation. The nature of the Company’s performance obligation is to stand ready to provide services over the contractual period. Also, the Company’s performance obligation forms a series of distinct periods of time over which the Company stands ready to perform. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied as the Company completes each period’s obligations.

110

Consideration from management contracts is variable in nature because the majority of the fees are generally based on revenue or collections, which can vary from period to period. The Company has control over pricing. Contractual fees are invoiced to the Company’s clients generally monthly, and payment terms are typically due within 30 days. The variable consideration in the Company’s management contracts meets the criteria to be allocated to the distinct period of time to which it relates because (i) it is due to the activities performed to satisfy the performance obligation during that period, and (ii) it represents the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company’s management contracts generally have terms ranging from one to thirty years, although they may be terminated earlier under the terms of the applicable contracts.

Fee-for-Service Revenue

FFS revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which the professional component of charges for medical services rendered by the Company’s affiliated physician-owned medical groups are billed and collected from third-party payers, hospitals, and patients. FFS revenue related to patient care services is reported net of contractual allowances and policy discounts. It is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered to specific patients. The Company periodically assesses the estimates of contractual adjustments and discounts, by analyzing actual results, including cash collections, against estimates. Changes in these estimates are charged or credited to the consolidated statements of income in the period that the assessment is made.

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 consolidated financial statements. Once the recognition threshold is met, the tax position is measured to determine the actual amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.

111

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains a stock-based compensation program for employees, non-employees, directors, and consultants. From time to time, the Company issues shares of its common stock to its employees, directors, and consultants, which shares may be subject to the Company’s repurchase right (but not obligation), that vests based on time-based and/or performance-based vesting schedules. The value of share-based awards is recognized as compensation expense and adjusted for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation expenses for time-based awards are recognized on a cumulative straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Share-based awards with performance conditions are recognized to the extent the performance conditions are probable of being achieved. Compensation expenses for performance-based awards are recognized on an accelerated attribution method. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards is the grant date’s closing market price of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and includes several assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends, and risk-free rates. The expected term is estimated using the simplified method, through which the expected term is presumed to be the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term, because the Company is generally unable to rely on its limited historical exercise data or alternative information as a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term of such options. The expected stock price volatility is determined based on an average of historical volatility. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s expected dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Constant Maturity curve over the expected term of the option at the time of grant.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to holders of the Company’s common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented, using the treasury stock method. See Note 17 — “Earnings Per Share” for a discussion of shares treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes.

Non-controlling Interests

The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Non-controlling interests represent third-party equity ownership interests (including equity ownership interests held by certain VIEs) in the Company’s consolidated entities. Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is disclosed in the consolidated statements of income.

Mezzanine Deficit

Pursuant to Allied Physicians of California, a Professional Medical Corporation’s (“APC”) shareholder agreements, in the event of a disqualifying event, as defined in the agreements, APC could be required to repurchase its shares from the respective shareholders based on certain triggers outlined in the shareholder agreements. As the redemption feature of the shares is not solely within the control of APC, the equity of APC does not qualify as permanent equity and has been classified as mezzanine or temporary equity. Accordingly, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests in APC as mezzanine deficit in the consolidated financial statements. APC is a consolidated VIE of the Company. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, APC’s shares were not redeemable, nor was it probable the shares would become redeemable.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. The expected term of the lease used for computing the lease liability and right-of-use asset and determining the classification of the lease as operating or financing may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company elected practical expedients for ongoing accounting that are provided by the standard comprised of the following:

112

•
The election for classes of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components from lease components, and
•
The election for short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases under twelve-month terms.

The present value of the lease payments is calculated using a rate implicit in the lease, when readily determinable. However, as most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments for the majority of its leases.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the 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. These requirements include: (i) disclosure of significant expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”); (ii) disclosure of an amount for other segment items (equal to the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss) by reportable segment and a description of their composition; (iii) annual disclosure of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods; (iv) clarification that, if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report those additional measures of segment profit or loss; (v) disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources; and (vi) requiring a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU, and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the year ended December 31, 2024, and applied the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The pro forma financial information in the table below presents the combined results of the Company and the acquisitions in 2024 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.

|  | For the Years Ended December 31, |
(in thousands, except per share amounts) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Total revenue |  | $ | 2,732,932 |  |  | $ | 2,655,460 |
Net income attributable to Astrana Health, Inc. |  | $ | 20,885 |  |  | $ | 57,381 |
Net income per share – basic |  | $ | 0.44 |  |  | $ | 1.23 |
Net income per share – diluted |  | $ | 0.44 |  |  | $ | 1.22 |

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. Of the total goodwill recognized from the acquisitions that closed in 2024, $130.8 million was assigned to the Care Partners segment $7.0 million was assigned to the Care Delivery segment, and no goodwill was assigned to the Care Enablement segment. 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. Transaction costs associated with business acquisitions are expensed as they are incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $3.0 million in transaction costs for acquisitions closed in 2024.

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.

The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $105.1 million for acquisitions closed in 2024. The Company had no impairment of i ts goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

The change in the carrying value of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

I Health, Inc.

On March 31, 2024, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired a 25% equity interest in I Health, Inc. (“I Health”), a management service organization. The Company accounts for its investment in I Health under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control over, I Health’s operations. The purchase agreement includes a call option that allows the Company to purchase an additional 25% equity interest on each of the first, second, and third anniversary of the purchase (“I Health Call Option”). The total purchase price for this arrangement was $9.9 million, consisting of $3.9 million in the form of a call option, and $6.0 million as the initial investment of the 25% equity interest. See Note 21—“Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments” for additional information about the I Health Call Option.

CHS

On October 4, 2024, the Company acquired 50%-51% equity interests in entities that operate similarly to the Care Partners segment through its acquisition of CHS (see Note 3—“Business Combinations, Asset Acquisitions, and Goodwill” for additional information about the CHS acquisition). These entities were determined to be VIEs but are not consolidated because CHS provides financial support to these entities but lacks a controlling financial interest and is not the primary beneficiary. Thus, these VIEs are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, The Company recognizes its share of the investee’s earnings or losses under the hypothetical-liquidation-at-book-value method. The Company’s initial investment in these entities was valued at $3.1 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss was $3.2 million which represents the carrying value of the Company’s investments in the non-consolidated VIEs. The Company records its investments in the non-consolidated VIEs within investments in other entities – equity method in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Equity method investments are subject to impairment evaluation. There was no impairment loss recorded related to equity method investments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Investments in privately held entities with no readily determinable fair value

MediPortal, LLC

In May 2018, APC purchased 270,000 membership interests of MediPortal LLC, a New York limited liability company, for $0.4 million or $1.50 per membership interest, which represented approximately 2.8% ownership interest. In connection with the initial purchase, APC received a five-year warrant to purchase an additional 270,000 membership interests. A five-year option to purchase an additional 380,000 membership interests and a five-year warrant to purchase 480,000 membership interests were contingent upon the portal completion date. These warrants and options were not exercised and were expired as of December 31, 2023. As the membership interests do not have a readily determinable fair value and APC does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, and lacks control over the investee, this investment is measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 there were no observable price changes to APC’s investment.

AchievaMed

In July 2019, Astrana Health Management, Inc. (“AHM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and AchievaMed, Inc., a California corporation (“AchievaMed”), entered into an agreement in which AHM would purchase 50% of the aggregate shares of capital stock of AchievaMed over a period of time not to exceed five years. As a result of this transaction, AHM invested $0.5 million for a 10% interest. The related investment balance of $0.5 million is included in investments in privately held entities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024. As the membership interests do not have a readily determinable fair value and AHM does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, and lacks control, over the investee, this investment is accounted for using a measurement alternative, which allows the investment to be measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 there were no observable price changes to AHM’s investment.

Third Way Health, Inc.

In August 2022, the Company entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) with Third Way Health, Inc. (“Third Way Health”). Based on certain triggering events defined in the SAFE, the Company has rights to Third Way Health’s shares. The number of shares to be acquired will be calculated when the triggered event occurs. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company contributed an additional $2.5 million to the SAFE. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related investment balance of $6.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, is included in investments in privately held entities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As the Company does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, and lacks control, over the investee, this investment is accounted for using a measurement alternative, which allows the investment to be measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, there were no observable price changes to the Third Way Health investment.

Seen Health, Inc.

On April 1, 2023, the Company entered into a SAFE with Seen Health, Inc. (“Seen Health”). Based on certain triggering events defined in the SAFE, the Company has rights to Seen Health’s shares. The number of shares to be acquired will be calculated when the triggering event occurs. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related investment balance of $2.0 million, respectively, is included in investments in privately held entities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As the Company does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, and lacks control, over the investee, this investment is accounted for using a measurement alternative, which allows the investment to be measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no observable price changes to the Seen Health investment.

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, 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 to the Company of $400.0 million (“Revolver Loan”), which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $25.0 million and a swingline loan sub-facility of $25.0 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $146.7 million in outstanding borrowings under the Revolver Loan, and the interest rate on the Revolver Loan was 6.2%.

124

On December 20, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement in which all amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement as of the effective date were automatically converted from LIBOR Loans to 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.

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 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.

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.

In May 2024, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which updates the letter of credit provisions in the Amended Credit Agreement to provide the Company with the ability to have letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Agreement that extend beyond the maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Company will pay a quarterly ticking fee on the delayed draw portion of the Term Loan, during the draw period, in an amount equal to 0.375% per annum multiplied by the average daily unused portion of the delayed draw maximum amount. The Term Loan was secured by substantially all assets of the Company and subsidiaries of the Company that are not designated as excluded subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement.

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 December 31, 2024, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 6.7% and outstanding balance of $281.5 million.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay an annual agent fee of $50,000 and an annual facility fee of 0.175% to 0.35% 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 Consolidated Total Net 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 Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, plus fronting 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.

125

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. The Third 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 Third Amendment also updates the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to include additional addbacks and to clarify certain components of the calculation thereof.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Guaranty and Security Agreement”) between the Company, 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 Corporation pursuant to a 10-year secured loan agreement. The loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum simple interest, is not prepayable, (except in certain limited circumstances), requires quarterly payments of interest only in arrears, and is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Astrana Medical Corporation’s assets. To the extent that Astrana Medical Corporation is unable to make any interest payment when due because it has received dividends on the APC Series A Preferred Stock insufficient to pay in full such interest payment, then the outstanding principal amount of the loan will be increased by the amount of any such accrued but unpaid interest, and any such increased principal amounts will bear interest at the rate of 10.75% per annum simple interest.

In the ordinary course of business, certain of the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement and their affiliates have provided to the Company and its subsidiaries and the associated practices, and may in the future provide, (i) investment banking, commercial banking, cash management, foreign exchange or other financial services, and (ii) services as a bond trustee and other trust and fiduciary services, for which they have received compensation and may receive compensation in the future.

On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank, in its capacities as administrative agent for the lenders, and the other parties thereto. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Amended Credit Agreement, and amounts borrowed under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are intended to be used to, among other things, refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Company and certain subsidiaries, pay associated transactions costs and expenses, and provide for working capital and other general corporate needs (see Note 22—“Subsequent Events”).

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, unamortized deferred financing costs were $4.3 million and $6.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, $0.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of unamortized deferred financing costs was recognized in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consisted of unamortized deferred financing costs related to unborrowed amounts available on the Term Loan and the unamortized deferred financing costs for the Revolver Loan. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, $3.4 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. The remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Revolver Loan are amortized over the life of the Revolver Loan using the straight-line method. The remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan are amortized over the life of the Term Loan using the effective interest rate method.

A valuation allowance of $5.3 million and $5.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, has been established against the Company’s deferred tax assets related to tax attributes with limitations on being utilized. Valuation allowance decreased by $0.6 million in 2024 and $2.4 million in 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had federal and California tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17.4 million and $44.8 million, respectively. The federal and California net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2027 through 2044; however, $2.5 million of the federal net operating loss carryforwards do not expire and will be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has determined certain NOLs are limited pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, but does not anticipate these NOLs will expire before utilization.

The Company determines its uncertain tax positions based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant income tax authorities. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits.

|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Increases for tax positions taken in the current year |  |  | 359 |  |  |  | — |
Increases for tax positions taken in the prior year |  |  | 359 |  |  |  | — |
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, |  | $ | 718 |  |  | $ | — |

If recognized, $0.7 million of the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 would reduce the annual effective tax rate. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense or benefit. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.

129

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax in several states. 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, 2020 through December 31, 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board for tax years ended December 31, 2019 through December 31, 2022.

Mezzanine Deficit and Stockholders’ Equity

Mezzanine Deficit

APC

As the redemption feature (see Note 2—“Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) of APC’s shares of common stock 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 mezzanine or temporary equity. APC’s shares were not redeemable, and it was not probable that the shares would become redeemable as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock—Series A and Series B

In October 2015, AHM purchased from Astrana, in a private offering of securities, 1,111,111 units, each unit consisting of one share of Astrana’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and a common stock warrant to purchase one share of Astrana’s common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share, which expired in October 2020. In March 2016, AHM purchased from Astrana, in a private offering of securities, 555,555 units, each unit consisting of one share of Astrana’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and a common stock warrant to purchase one share of Astrana’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which expired in March 2021. In April 2024, the Company repurchased all outstanding shares of preferred stock held by AHM. On April 24, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, eliminating from the Restated Certificate of Incorporation all matters set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation with respect to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and returning each of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock to the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company, without designation as to series. As a result, there were no authorized or outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2024.

Common Stock

Subject to the rights of preferred stockholders, if any, holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, at its discretion, from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of the Company’s known debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock.

As of December 31, 2024, 41,048 holdback shares have not been issued to certain former AHM shareholders who were AHM shareholders when Astrana had completed its business combination with AHM (the “2017 Merger”), 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 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 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.

130

Dividends

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, APC declared dividends of $62.0 million, $58.0 million, and $58.3 million, respectively, to their Series A Preferred shareholders.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, APC declared no dividends to their common shareholders. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, APC declared dividends of $210.9 million and $37.9 million, respectively, to their common shareholders.

Treasury Stock

As of December 31, 2024 and 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 consolidated financial statements. APC's ownership in Astrana was 12.96% and 13.22% as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had repurchased 19,509 of its common stock for $0.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had repurchased 3,451,642 shares of its common stock, which included 3,166,561 shares of common stock purchased from APC for $100.0 million on November 14, 2023. These are included as treasury stock.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total treasury stock, including the Company’s stock held by APC, was 10,603,849 and 10,584,340, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company assumed the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2015 Plan”), pursuant to which 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. At the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, the 2015 Plan was amended to increase the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 2,000,000 shares, from 1,500,000 shares to 3,500,000 shares. The 2015 Plan provides for awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted common stock, and stock appreciation rights. As of December 31, 2024, there were no shares available for future grants under the 2015 Plan.

131

On November 15, 2023, the Company adopted the Employment Inducement Award Plan (the “Inducement Plan”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, grant equity-based awards to new employees as a material inducement to their employment. Awards granted under the Inducement Plan may be in the form of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. A total of 500,000 shares of the Company’s co mmon stock, par value $0.001 per share, have been reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Inducement Plan (subject to adjustment as provided in the Inducement Plan). As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 0.3 million shares available for future grants in the Inducement Plan.

On February 28, 2024, the Board of the Company unanimously adopted the Astrana Health, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) which was then approved by our stockholders on June 12, 2024 at the 2024 Annual Meeting. The 2024 Plan replaced the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan as of the approval date, rendering the 2015 Plan effectively terminated. Under the 2024 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 2,100,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The 2024 Plan provides for awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted common stock, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately 1.4 million shares available for future grants under the 2024 Plan.

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recognized under all of the Company’s stock plans in 2024, 2023, and 2022, 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 consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

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. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the consolidated IPAs were in compliance with these regulations.

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 $25.0 million for the benefit of CMS and certain health plans as of December 31, 2024 (see Note 10 — “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 $2.1 million, for the benefit of certain health plans as of December 31, 2024 (see Note 10 — “Credit Facility, Bank Loans, and Lines of Credit — Standby Letters of Credit”).

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Currently, management does not believe the Company is a party to any legal proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on its operations. The Company continuously evaluates potential contingencies and will accrue liabilities as necessary. However, the resolution of any claim or litigation is inherently uncertain and could impact 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.

134

The Company’s contracted physicians are required to carry first-dollar coverage with limits of liability equal to not less than $1.0 million for claims based on occurrence up to an aggregate of $3.0 million per year. The Company’s IPAs purchase stop-loss insurance, which will reimburse them for claims from service providers on a per enrollee basis. The specific retention amount per enrollee per policy period is $45,000 to $0.3 million for professional 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.

Employee Benefit Plan

AHM has a qualified 401(k) plan that covers substantially all employees who have completed at least six months of service and meet minimum age requirements. Participants may contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan, up to the maximum amount permitted under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants become fully vested after six years of service. AHM matches a portion of the participants’ contributions.

17.
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, preferred stock, and the treasury stock method for options and common stock warrants. The non-controlling interests in APC are allocated their share of Astrana’s income from APC’s ownership of Astrana common stock and this is included in the net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests on the consolidated statements of income. Therefore, none of the shares of Astrana held by APC are considered outstanding for the purposes of basic or diluted earnings per share computation.

As of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, APC held 7,132,698, 7,132,698, and 10,299,259 shares of Astrana’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 years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, restricted stock of 29,753, 186,290, and 133,480, 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 anti-dilutive.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, contingently issuable shares of 1,250,413, 782,484, and 245,478, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding because these conditions were not achieved as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, as applicable.

137

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, stock options of 155,990, 175,478, and 188,761, 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.

Below is a summary of the earnings per share computations:

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

The Company’s 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.

Some states have laws that prohibit business entities with non-physician owners—such as Astrana and its subsidiaries—from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, or exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. These laws are generally referred to as corporate practice of medicine laws. States that have corporate practice of medicine laws permit only physicians to practice medicine, exercise control over medical decisions, or engage in certain arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians.

Due to these 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.

138

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 shareholder of professional corporations which 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 financial statements.

Astrana Medical and Astrana Care Partners Medical were formed as designated shareholder professional corporations in May 2019 and July 2021, respectively. 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. Astrana has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, Astrana Medical and Astrana Care Partners Medical. Therefore, Astrana Medical and Astrana Care Partners Medical are controlled by and consolidated by Astrana as the primary beneficiary of the VIEs.

On January 1, 2024, the Company reacquired a 25% equity interest of Eleanor Leung M.D. As a result, Astrana Care Partners Medical now owns 100% of Eleanor Leung M.D.

The following table includes assets that can only be used to settle the liabilities of the Company’s VIEs, and to which the creditors of Astrana have no recourse, and liabilities to which the creditors of the Company’s VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of Astrana, as the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. These assets and liabilities, with the exception of investments in affiliates and amounts due to, or from, affiliates which are eliminated upon consolidation, are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (in thousands).

Segments

The Company determined its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). Factors used in determining the reportable business segments include the nature of operating activities and the type of information presented to the Company's chief operating decision makers to evaluate all results of operations. 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 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 Care Partners—IPAs and Care Partners—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. Cost of service for this segment is primarily capitation and claims expenses.

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 segment provides primary care, multi-specialty care, and ancillary care services. Revenue is primarily earned based on fee-for-service reimbursements, capitation, and performance-based incentives. Cost of service for this segment is primarily medical supplies costs and salaries expense related to medical staff and clinic employees.

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. Cost of service for this segment is primarily MSO salaries expense.

142

The Company's chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) are its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The CODMs evaluate the performance of the Company’s operating segments based on segment revenue growth and operating income. The CODMs use 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 CODMs do not evaluate the Company’s segments using asset information.

In the normal course of business, the Company’s 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 the prior periods 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the segments are presented net of intrasegment eliminations. The significant segment expenses that comprise operating income as a measure used by the CODMs in evaluating operating segment performance do not differ from the operating expenses as presented on the consolidated statements of income.

Additionally, for the prior periods, certain amounts are presented in a column for Other to represent other affiliates of the Company that primarily consisted of real estate operations, that were spun-off on December 26, 2023, and do not represent a reportable segment. On December 26, 2023, APC completed a restructuring transaction to spin-off its real estate investments, a component of Excluded Assets that were solely for the benefit of the APC shareholders. To effect the restructuring, APC contributed its real estate investments to a wholly owned subsidiary in exchange for 100% of the subsidiary’s membership interest units, which membership interests were then distributed to holders of APC’s outstanding common stock as a dividend, with each such stockholder receiving one membership interest unit for each share of outstanding APC common stock held.

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. See Note 10—“Credit Facility, Promissory Notes Payable, 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 consolidated statements of income and reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as unrealized (gain) loss on investments. The estimated fair value of the collar was determined using Level 2 inputs. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of the collar was $19,000 and $0.3 million, respectively, and was presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $0.3 million and an unrealized loss of $0.3 million, respectively.

Ite m 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-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 December 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 December 31, 2024.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting,” as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by such company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

i.
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
ii.
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
iii.
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

152

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Operating Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, the end of our fiscal year. Our management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our management’s assessment included evaluation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment.

Based on our management’s assessment, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024. Our management communicated the results of its assessment to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Management has excluded Collaborative Health Systems, LLC, Golden Triangle Physician Alliance, and Heritage Physician Networks (collectively, “CHS”), which were acquired by us on October 4, 2024, from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. Total assets, net assets, and revenues of CHS excluded from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting were approximately 10% of total assets, 8% of net assets, and 9% of revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young, LLP, audited our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and has issued an audit report with respect to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, a copy of which is included below in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Astrana Health, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Astrana Health, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Astrana Health, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the COSO criteria.

As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Collaborative Health Systems, LLC, Golden Triangle Physician Alliance, and Heritage Physician Networks (collectively, “CHS”), which is included in the 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted 10% and 8% of total and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2024 and 9% of revenues for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of CHS.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, mezzanine and stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and our report dated March 14, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

154

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
