Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023, has been derived from the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements, but does not include all annual disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments as well as intercompany accounts and transactions, which have been eliminated) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, include Astrana’s wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that users of the interim financial data have either read or have access to our audited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and 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, accrual of medical liabilities (incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims), determination of hospital shared-risk and health plan shared-risk revenue and receivables (including constraints, completion factors and historical margins), 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.

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.

Reportable Segments

As of March 31, 2024, the Company operates in three reportable segments:

•Care Partners;

•Care Delivery; and

•Care Enablement.

Refer to Note 1 — “Description of Business” and Note 18 — “Segments” to the condensed 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 ninety 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deposit accounts with banks exceeded the FDIC’s insured limit by approximately $353.6 million and $318.9 million, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses to date and performs ongoing evaluations of these financial institutions to limit the Company’s concentration of risk exposure.

Receivables, Receivables – Related Parties, Other Receivables and Loan Receivables

The Company’s receivables are comprised of accounts receivable, capitation and claims 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 consists of promissory notes that accrue interest per annum. As of March 31, 2024, promissory notes are expected to be collected by their maturity dates.

Capitation and claims receivables relate to each health plan’s capitation and are received by the Company in the month following the month of service. 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 receivables from fee-for-service (“FFS”) reimbursement for patient care, certain expense reimbursements, 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 primarily on a specific identification basis.

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. In regard to the credit loss standard, the Company continuously monitors its collections of receivables and our expectation is that the historical credit loss experienced across our 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 condensed consolidated statements of income present disaggregated revenue by service type. The following table presents disaggregated revenue generated by payer type for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

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 revenue; 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 risk of collection for such services may vary by type of revenue and the customer.

Risk Pool Settlements and Incentives

Medicare Shared Savings Program Revenue

Beginning in 2024, Astrana participates in 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 us 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 participant 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.

Income Taxes

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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Once the recognition threshold is met, the tax position is then measured to determine the actual amount of benefit to recognize in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (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, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.
