Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Description of Business

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’sthree 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;

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.

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

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 asthree reportable segments:

Care Partners;

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.

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):

Payer C16.1%41.0%
Payer D18.3%*%
  • 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 threeto 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.

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.

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

Care Partners – IPA;

Care Partners – ACO;

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 hadno 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.

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.

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 ofone 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.

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.

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.

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 fromoneto 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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Other than new standard discussed above, there have been no other recently adopted accounting pronouncements that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” to provide disaggregated information about certain income statement costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

Other than the new standards discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that are expected to have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

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.

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, andno 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 Companyhadno impairment of its goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

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.

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 afive-year warrant to purchase an additional 270,000 membership interests. Afive-year option to purchase an additional 380,000 membership interests and afive-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.

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.

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 Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply withtwo 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”).

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 theirpro 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, theirpro 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.

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.

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.

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.

Participants become fully vested aftersix years of service. AHM matches a portion of the participants’ contributions.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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 hasthree 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 aretwo 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.

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 receivingone 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.

I Health Call Option

The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted model that includes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Specifically, the Company considered various scenarios of revenue and assigned probabilities to each such scenario in determining fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the call option's value was$3.8 million. The I Health call option is presented within other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the option are presented in other income in accompanying consolidated statements of income. The 25% equity interest in I Health is accounted for under the equity method (see Note 6—“Investments in Other Entities”).

Remaining equity interest purchase

In 2021, the Company entered into a financing obligation to purchase the remaining equity interest in Diagnostic Medical Group of Southern California (“DMG”) and Sun Clinical Laboratories (“Sun Labs”) within three years from the date the Company consolidated DMG and Sun Labs. The purchase of the remaining DMG equity value was considered a financing obligation with a carrying value of $8.5 million as of December 31, 2023. In December 2024, the Company purchased the remaining DMG equity interest, and the financing obligation isno longer outstanding as of December 31, 2024. The purchase of the remaining Sun Labs equity value is considered a financing obligation with a carrying value of$7.4 million and$7.8 million, as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the change in the fair value of the financing obligation was$0.4 million and$2.0 million, respectively, and is presented in unrealized loss on investments in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The total amount of stock that can be issued for the 2023 target and growth metrics and 2024 target and growth metrics is 157,059 and 184,357, respectively. At the end of the earnout periods, the Company concluded on the achievement of the 2023 target and growth metrics and the 2024 target and growth metrics based on actual revenue and the value of the Company stock (Level 1) to calculate payment, representing the fair value of the contingent consideration.

CFC

Upon acquiring certain assets of CFC in 2024, the total consideration of the acquisition included contingent consideration. The contingent consideration will be settled in cash contingent upon CFC maintaining or exceeding the target member month amount for the first, second, and third measurement period (“CFC contingent consideration”). The first measurement period commences on the first day of the month immediately following the close of AHMS and ending on the one-year anniversary thereof. The second measurement period is for one year after the first measurement period, and the third measurement period is for one year after the second measurement period. The contingent liability will be paid after achieving the metric in each measurement period. The Company will pay $5.0 million for each metric achieved for each measurement period, or a total of $15.0 million. In the event that the CFC first and/or second contingent consideration metrics are not achieved during the first and/or the second measurement period, if the metric is met within the second and/or third measurement period, there is a catch-up payment that shall be paid concurrently with the payments of the CFC second contingent consideration and/or CFC third contingent consideration. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted model that includes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Specifically, the Company considered various scenarios of revenue and assigned probabilities to each such scenario in determining fair value. Significant unobservable inputs were a 7.5% discount rate,7.8% incremental borrowing rate, and 21.3% volatility. As of December 31, 2024, the first metric was valued at$4.2 million and was included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the second and third metrics were valued at$5.8 million in aggregate, and were included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the CFC contingent consideration are presented in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

For the CHS Member Enrollment Metrics, the first measurement period means the period commencing on the first day immediately following the closure of CHS and ending on the one-year anniversary thereof. The second, third, fourth, and fifth measurement periods are for one year after each of the previous respective measurement periods. If the metrics are achieved, the contingent liability will be paid after the end of the earnout period.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for (a) afive-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) afive-year term loan A credit facility to the Company of $250.0 million and (c) afive-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 purchase of 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”), subject to customary adjustments, plus the assumption of certain identified liabilities of the sellers party thereto, (the “Transaction”).

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.175% to 0.35% multiplied by the daily amount of the unused revolving commitments during the availability period, with such fee determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio, and a ticking fee on the delayed draw term loan facility of 0.175% to 0.35% multiplied by the average daily unused portion of delayed draw term loan commitments, with such fee determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with two financial ratios, each calculated on a consolidated basis. The Company must maintain (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2025) (x) a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of not greater than (a)5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending prior to March 31, 2027, and (b)4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day each fiscal quarter thereafter and (y) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with various affirmative covenants, including, without limitation, furnishing updated financial and other information, preserving existence and entitlements, maintaining properties and insurance, complying with laws, maintaining books and records, requiring any new subsidiary meeting a materiality threshold specified in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to become a guarantor thereunder and paying obligations.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to the extent permitted by law to cause certain material associated practices of the Company to comply with, restrictions on liens, indebtedness and investments (including restrictions on acquisitions by the Company), subject to specified exceptions.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lenders may terminate their commitments, and may require the Company and its guarantors to repay outstanding debt and/or to provide a cash deposit as additional security for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, the agent, on behalf of the lenders, may pursue other remedies, including, without limitation, transferring pledged securities of the Company’s subsidiaries in the name of the agent and exercising all rights with respect thereto (including the right to vote and to receive dividends), collect on pledged accounts, instruments and other receivables, and other rights provided by law.
