Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of agilon health, inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and both joint ventures and VIEs that it controls through voting rights or other means. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated), which the Company considers necessary to present fairly its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, including the impact of COVID-19, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 estimates can include, among other things, those used to determine revenues and related receivables from risk adjustments, medical services expense and related payables (including the reserve for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims), and the valuation and related recognition of impairments of long-lived assets, including goodwill. Management’s estimates for revenue recognition, medical services expense, and other estimates, judgments, and assumptions, may be materially and adversely different from actual results as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other things. See Note 9 for additional discussion on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These estimates are based on knowledge of current events and anticipated future events, and accordingly, actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.

Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets

As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, goodwill of $39.0 million was allocated to the Company’s Hawaii reporting unit, which had a negative carrying value.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s gross carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets was $121.2 million and $108.7 million, with accumulated amortization of $60.6 million and $53.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in amortization expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $7.2 million and $9.1 million, respectively, in amortization expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Property and Equipment

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s gross carrying amount of property and equipment was $26.5 million and $17.4 million, with accumulated depreciation of $9.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in depreciation expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $2.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in depreciation expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Marketable Securities

The Company's investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total stockholders' equity (deficit). The Company determines the appropriate classification of these investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. In general, the Company’s marketable securities are classified as current assets without regard to the securities’ contractual maturity dates because they may be readily liquidated.

Interest income, realized gains and losses on sales of securities, and other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of marketable securities, if any, are included as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

At each reporting period, the Company evaluates available-for-sale marketable securities for any credit-related impairment when the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. The Company evaluates the underlying credit quality and credit ratings of the issuers, and, if necessary, the expected cash flows of the financial instruments. When the Company determines that the decline in fair value of an investment is below the carrying value and this decline is other-than-temporary, the Company reduces the carrying value of the marketable security it holds and records a loss for the amount of such decline. As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not record any impairment related to other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of marketable securities.

Income Taxes

The Company determined the income tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, applied to year-to-date results, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimated annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, a cumulative catch-up adjustment is recorded in that quarter. The Company applied the intra-period tax allocation rules to allocate income taxes between continuing operations and discontinued operations as prescribed in U.S. GAAP, where the tax effect of income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations is computed without regard to the tax effects of income (loss) before income taxes from the other categories.
