- Medical Loss Ratio of 79.0%, a 90 bps improvement YoY
- SG&A Expense Ratio of 19.6%, a 260 bps improvement YoY

YoY
Oscar Health, Inc. (“Oscar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OSCR), a
leading healthcare technology company, today announced its
financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“Oscar reported strong second quarter results, closing out the
best six months in the company's history," said Mark Bertolini, CEO
of Oscar Health. “We continued to report robust revenue growth,
improved operating margin, and strong bottom line performance.
Based on our outperformance in the first half of the year, we
updated our full year 2024 guidance. We are well-positioned to
deliver on our target for Adjusted EBITDA profitability this
year.”
Total Revenue was $2.2 billion in the quarter, up 46%
year-over-year (“YoY”), driven primarily by higher membership and
rate increases, partially offset by higher risk adjustment as a
percentage of premiums.
The Medical Loss Ratio improved 90 bps YoY to 79.0%, primarily
due to favorable prior period development. The SG&A Expense
Ratio improved 260 bps YoY to 19.6%, driven by improved fixed cost
leverage and variable cost efficiencies, partially offset by higher
risk adjustment as a percentage of premiums.
Adjusted EBITDA of $104.1 million significantly improved by
$68.6 million YoY, and Net income attributable to Oscar of $56.2
million also significantly improved by $71.7 million YoY.
Oscar is updating its full year 2024 outlook to reflect first
half outperformance. The Company projects Revenue to be in the $9.0
billion to $9.1 billion range, $700 million above the prior range
of $8.3 billion to $8.4 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the
$160 million to $210 million range, $35 million higher than the
prior range of $125 million to $175 million. Additionally, the
Company now projects a lower SG&A Expense Ratio in the range of
19.75% to 20.25%, and a modestly higher Medical Loss Ratio in the
range of 80.5% to 81.5%.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact
contained herein are forward-looking statements. These statements
include, but are not limited to, statements about our financial
outlook and estimates, including Total revenue, Medical Loss Ratio,
SG&A Expense Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA and other financial
performance metrics, and the related underlying assumptions, our
business and financial prospects, and our management’s plans and
objectives for future operations, expectations and business
strategy. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,”
“plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,”
“contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,”
or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar

forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are subject to risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that are
difficult to predict and generally beyond our control.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made,
there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those indicated in these
forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the
following: our ability to execute our strategy and manage our
growth effectively; our ability to retain and expand our member
base; heightened competition in the markets in which we
participate; our ability to accurately estimate our incurred
medical expenses or effectively manage our medical costs or related
administrative costs; our ability to achieve or maintain
profitability in the future; changes in federal or state laws or
regulations, including changes with respect to the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (collectively, the
“ACA”) and any regulations enacted thereunder; our ability to
comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, including capital
reserve and surplus requirements and applicable performance
standards; changes or developments in the health insurance markets
in the United States, including passage and implementation of a law
to create a single-payer or government-run health insurance
program; our, or any of our vendors’, ability to comply with laws,
regulations, and standards related to the handling of information
about individuals or applicable consumer protection laws; our
ability to arrange for the delivery of quality care and maintain
good relations with the physicians, hospitals, and other providers
within and outside our provider networks; unanticipated results of,
or changes to, risk adjustment programs; our ability to utilize
quota share reinsurance to meet our capital and surplus
requirements and protect against downside risk on medical claims;
unfavorable or otherwise costly outcomes of lawsuits, audits,
investigations, and claims that arise from the extensive laws and
regulations to which we are subject; incurrence of data security
breaches of our and our partners’ information and technology
systems; our ability to detect and prevent material weaknesses or
significant control deficiencies in our internal controls over
financial reporting or other failure to maintain an effective
system of internal controls; adverse publicity or other adverse
consequences related to our dual class structure or “controlled
company” status; and the other factors set forth under the caption
“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), and our other filings with the SEC, including
our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2024, to be filed with the SEC.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statements made in this press release. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date as of which it
is made, and, except as otherwise required by law, we do not
undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to
time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will
arise.

Key Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
We regularly review the following key operating and Non-GAAP
financial metrics to evaluate our business, measure our
performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial
projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe these
operational and financial measures are useful in evaluating our
performance, in addition to our financial results prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
Members
Members are defined as any individual covered by a health plan
that we offer directly or through a co-branded arrangement. We view
the number of members enrolled in our health plans as an important
metric to help evaluate and estimate revenue and market share.
Additionally, the more members we enroll, the more data we have,
which allows us to improve the functionality of our platform.
Medical Loss Ratio
Medical Loss Ratio is a metric used to calculate medical
expenses as a percentage of net premiums before ceded quota share
reinsurance. Medical expenses are the total expenses incurred by
members in order to utilize health care services less any member
cost sharing. These services include inpatient, outpatient,
pharmacy, and physician costs. Medical claims also include
fee-for-service claims, pharmacy benefits, capitation payments to
providers, provider disputed claims, risk sharing arrangements with
certain of our providers, and various other medical-related costs.
The impact of the federal risk adjustment program is included in
the denominator of our MLR. We believe MLR is an important metric
to demonstrate the ratio of our costs to pay for healthcare of our
members to the net premium before ceded reinsurance. MLR in our
existing products are subject to various federal and state minimum
requirements.

SG&A Expense Ratio
The SG&A Expense Ratio reflects the Company’s selling,
general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage
of Total revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses
primarily include wages, benefits, costs of software and hardware,
and administrative costs for our corporate and technology
functions, the impact of quota share reinsurance, and stock-based
compensation. We believe the SG&A Expense Ratio is useful to
evaluate our ability to manage our overall selling, general, and
administrative cost base.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) for the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries before interest expense, income
tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization, as
further adjusted for stock-based compensation, and other items that
are considered unusual or not representative of underlying trends
of our business, where applicable for the period presented. We
present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important
supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is
frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that
investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by
including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for
comparing our ongoing results of operations.
We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with
our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar
measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies
and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a
reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net income
(loss), we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our
business and our results of operations, as well as assisting
investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic
initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool,
and
should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to,
or a substitute for Net income (loss) or other financial statement
data presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
as indicators of financial performance.
