Despite strong census growth and improved EBITDA margins, the increase in net loss and higher operational costs, along with uncertainties around B-28 and Medicaid redeterminations, create a mixed outlook. The positive aspects, such as partnerships and automation efforts, are counterbalanced by these challenges, leading to a neutral sentiment.
Revenue (Q4 FY 2025) $221.4 million, up 11% year-over-year. The increase was driven by disciplined cost management, strong medical utilization performance, and continued census growth.
Center Level Contribution Margin (Q4 FY 2025) $41.3 million, representing an 18.6% contribution margin. This reflects disciplined cost management and strong medical utilization performance.
Adjusted EBITDA (Q4 FY 2025) $11.3 million, more than doubled year-over-year, representing a 5.1% margin. This was due to disciplined cost management and operational improvements.
Revenue (FY 2025) $853.7 million, up nearly 12% year-over-year. The increase was driven by an increase in member months and capitation rates, including rate increases for both Medicare and Medicaid.
Center Level Contribution Margin (FY 2025) $153.6 million, with contribution margin expanding to approximately 18%, up 70 basis points from FY 2024. This was due to improved cost management and operational efficiencies.
Adjusted EBITDA (FY 2025) $34.5 million, above the high end of FY 2025 guidance of $31 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin nearly doubled from 2.2% in FY 2024 to approximately 4% in FY 2025, driven by operational improvements and cost management.
Census Growth (FY 2025) Approximately 7,740 participants, representing annual growth of 10.3%. This was due to strengthened enrollment strategies and new partnerships.
External Provider Costs (FY 2025) $431.2 million, a 7% increase year-over-year. The increase was driven by an increase in member months, partially offset by a decrease in cost per participant due to reduced inpatient and nursing facility utilization and transition to in-house pharmacy services.
Cost of Care (FY 2025) $268.9 million, an increase of 17.5% year-over-year. The increase was due to higher salaries, wages, benefits, and other operational costs.
Net Loss (FY 2025) $35.3 million, compared to a net loss of $23.2 million in FY 2024. The increase was due to higher operational costs and a $10.1 million accrual for a potential settlement of a securities class action lawsuit.

The earnings call presented strong financial results with a 15% revenue increase and a significant improvement in adjusted EBITDA. Despite challenges like higher costs and regulatory risks, the company achieved its first positive net income since 2021. The Q&A highlighted confidence in guidance and effective cost management, though some responses lacked clarity. Overall, the optimistic financial performance and strategic focus on operational efficiency suggest a positive stock price movement in the near term.
Despite strong census growth and improved EBITDA margins, the increase in net loss and higher operational costs, along with uncertainties around B-28 and Medicaid redeterminations, create a mixed outlook. The positive aspects, such as partnerships and automation efforts, are counterbalanced by these challenges, leading to a neutral sentiment.
The earnings call presents a mixed picture: a 10.6% revenue increase and positive guidance are offset by higher losses, negative cash flow, and asset impairments. Share repurchases and margin improvements are positive, but uncertainties in Medicare funding and unclear management responses introduce risk. The lack of significant new partnerships or guidance changes tempers potential positive sentiment, suggesting a neutral stock price movement.
The earnings call highlights strong financial performance with a 12.4% revenue increase and a 500% rise in adjusted EBITDA, which is very positive. The share repurchase program expansion also supports stock price appreciation. However, some concerns exist regarding de novo losses and operational challenges. The Q&A section indicates optimism about enrollment trends and operational efficiencies. Overall, the positive financial results and strategic initiatives outweigh the challenges, leading to a positive sentiment.
