The earnings call presents a mixed picture: strong operational improvements and a positive outlook for 2025, including breakeven achievements and renegotiation progress, are offset by current losses and adjustments impacting financials negatively. The Q&A reveals management's confidence in overcoming past issues but also highlights uncertainties in guidance and market performance. The lack of clear responses to some analyst questions further tempers optimism. Given these factors, the stock price is likely to remain stable in the short term, with potential for improvement as execution on strategies progresses.
Membership Membership for Q2 totaled 115,000 members, down 9% year-over-year. This decline is primarily the result of intentional rationalization of payer and provider partnerships to align with long-term strategy.
Capitated Revenue Capitated revenue for Q2 was $352 million, with total revenue of $356 million, down 6% year-over-year driven by the decline in membership.
Per Member Funding Excluding prior period adjustments, per member funding increased by 10% compared to the normalized full year 2024 PMPM. This improvement reflects greater accuracy in burden of illness documentation and stronger terms from targeted payer contracting efforts.
Medical Margin Q2 medical margin, excluding prior period adjustments, was $39 million or $114 PMPM. Operational improvements, such as enhancements to the hospice and palliative care program, resulted in approximately a $10 million reduction in medical expenses.
Operating Expense Operating expense was down $3 million compared to Q2 of the prior year, a 13% improvement. This was achieved through a 25% reduction in total workforce since January 2024, focusing on noncore functions while reinvesting in critical areas like field operations and provider support.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was a loss of $17 million or $50 PMPM. When adjusted for prior year items, Q2 adjusted EBITDA improved to a loss of $8 million or $25 PMPM. This improvement was attributed to addressing prior year headwinds and operational enhancements.
