ALHAMBRA, Calif., Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. ("ApolloMed," and together with its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, the "Company") (NASDAQ: AMEH), an integrated population health management company, announced today its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

"We built upon the strong momentum we generated from early in the year and carried it into the second quarter, culminating in strong growth in revenue and net income attributable to the company. Our focus on fighting the pandemic remained at the forefront of our efforts in the quarter, during which we expanded our testing capacity and maintained focus on sustaining our essential business operations that empower our affiliated providers to care for patients and to help quell COVID-19 in our communities," stated Kenneth Sim, M.D., Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of ApolloMed.

Dr. Sim continued, "The further investments we've made in our advanced technologies and software will shape the future of our organization, while preserving the cutting-edge nature of our solution and ensuring the scalability required to support our growing membership base. As we close out a strong first half of 2020, we are well positioned to capitalize on ever changing industry dynamics and we are confident in our ability to deliver on our full year guidance."

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2020:

Total revenue of $165.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 27% as compared to $130.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to our acquisitions of Alpha Care Medical Group on May 31, 2019 and Accountable Health Care IPA on August 30, 2019, which companies contributed revenue of approximately, $32.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Capitation revenue, net, of $140.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 37% compared to $103.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Capitation revenue represented 85% of our total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Risk pool settlements and incentives revenue of $12.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 7%, as compared to $11.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Net income of $81.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 as compared to net income of $10.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 driven primarily by the gain on the sale by Universal Care Acquisition Partners, LLC's ("UCAP") of its 48.9% investment in Universal Care, Inc. ("UCI") to Bright Health Company of California ("Bright"). UCAP is a 100% owned subsidiary of ApolloMed's affiliate, Allied Physicians of California IPA ("APC") and its 48.9% investment in UCI is an excluded asset that remains solely for the benefit of APC and its shareholders. As such, the gain on sale did not affect the net income and adjusted EBITDA attributable to ApolloMed.
Net income attributable to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. of $7.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net income attributable to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. of $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to preferred dividends ApolloMed received from APC.

Guidance:

The Company's stable, subscription-based revenue model allows it to maintain its previously disclosed 2020 guidance for total revenue, net income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. Net income and EBITDA include the impact of the gain of approximately $99.6 million related to the sale of UCAP's 48.9% investment in UCI to Bright, which closed on April 30, 2020. As UCI was an excluded asset and remained solely for the benefit of APC and its shareholders, the gain on sale did not affect the net income and adjusted EBITDA attributable to ApolloMed.

The Company's guidance for the year ending December 31, 2020, is as follows:

Maintain total revenue of between $665.0 million and $675.0 million,
Maintain net income of between $100.0 million and $110.0 million,
Maintain EBITDA of between $155.0 million and $167.0 million, and
Maintain adjusted EBITDA of between $75.0 million and $90.0 million.

Refer to the "Guidance Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA" and "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information. There can be no assurance that actual amounts will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations. Refer to our discussion of "Forward-Looking Statements" within this press release for additional information.

For more details on ApolloMed's financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, please refer to ApolloMed's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which is accessible at www.sec.gov.

Note About Consolidated Entities

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests represent third party equity ownership interests in the Company's consolidated entities (including certain VIEs). The amount of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is disclosed in the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Note About Stockholders' Equity, Certain Treasury Stock and Earnings Per Share

As of the date of this press release, 302,732 holdback shares have not been issued to certain former shareholders of the Company's subsidiary, Network Medical Management, Inc. ("NMM"), who were NMM shareholders at the time of closing of the merger, as they have yet to submit properly completed letters of transmittal to ApolloMed in order to receive their pro rata portion of ApolloMed's common stock and warrants as contemplated under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 21, 2016, among ApolloMed, NMM, Apollo Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Subsidiary") and Kenneth Sim, M.D., as amended, pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary merged with and into NMM, with NMM as the surviving corporation. Pending such receipt, such former NMM shareholders have the right to receive, without interest, their pro rata share of dividends or distributions with a record date after the effectiveness of the merger. The Company's consolidated financial statements have treated such shares of common stock as outstanding, given the receipt of the letter of transmittal is considered perfunctory and ApolloMed is legally obligated to issue these shares in connection with the merger.

Shares of ApolloMed's common stock owned by APC, a VIE of the Company, are legally issued and outstanding but excluded from shares of common stock outstanding in the Company's consolidated financial statements, as such shares are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes. Such shares, therefore, are not included in the number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate the Company's earnings per share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA, of which the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") is net income (loss). These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives to GAAP, and may be different from other non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure of our operations, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, excluding income from equity method investments and other income earned that are not related to the Company's normal operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effect on EBITDA of certain IPAs we recently acquired.

The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with relevant and useful information, as it allows investors to evaluate the operating performance of the business activities without having to account for differences recognized because of non-core and non-recurring financial information. When GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among those indicators the Company uses as a basis for evaluating operational performance, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. To the extent this release contains historical or future non-GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided corresponding GAAP financial measures for comparative purposes. The reconciliation between certain GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided above.
