FRANKLIN, Tenn., Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clover Health Investments, Corp. (Nasdaq: CLOV) ("Clover,” "Clover Health” or the "Company”), today reported financial results for the third quarter 2024. Management will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss its operating results and other business highlights.

"We delivered another strong quarter on all metrics. This demonstrates the strength of our model during a period where other approaches are facing significant headwinds," said Clover Health CEO Andrew Toy. "Underpinned by our ability to use technology to empower any physician on a wide network, our results position us to drive membership growth while maintaining strong underlying financial performance. I am proud that, powered by Clover Assistant, our health plans are anchored on identifying and managing diseases as early as possible to better control the total cost of care. This has also contributed to our market-leading HEDIS performance and achievement of 4.0 Stars for our flagship PPO plan for payment year 2026. We believe this validates our care platform and positions us well to invest in growth in both our core Insurance plans and Counterpart offering."

For the third quarter 2024, GAAP Net loss from continuing operations improved to $8.8 million from $33.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $19.3 million from $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2023. For the year-to-date 2024 period, GAAP Net Loss from continuing operations improved to $24.8 million from a loss of $142.2 million year-to-date in 2023, and year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA increased to $62.3 million in 2024 as compared to a loss of $24.9 million in the 2023 comparable period. Insurance revenue during the third quarter 2024 grew by 7% year-over-year to $322.6 million, and by 9% year-over-year to $1.0 billion on a year-to-date basis, driven by strong member retention and continued intra-year growth. Insurance BER in 2024 improved to 82.8% in the third quarter and 80.6% year-to-date, as compared to 83.3% in the third quarter and 86.2% in the year-to-date period of 2023.

"Our differentiated approach continues to drive our underlying financial momentum," said Clover Health CFO Peter Kuipers. "Strong execution during the third quarter drove meaningful Adjusted EBITDA profitability improvement. As a result, we have increased our full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA profitability guidance. We believe that our strong financial profile and momentum, combined with continued strong Stars performance for our flagship PPO plan, sets us up well to invest in and return to membership growth in 2025."

1 The results of operations for the Company's former Non-Insurance segment have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented due to the Company's decision to not participate in the ACO Reach program for the 2024 performance year. Refer to Note 17 - Discontinued Operations within the Company's most recent Form 10-Q for additional information.

2 Insurance Benefits Expense Ratio ("BER”) is a Non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of BER to Insurance Net medical claims incurred, net, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in a table immediately following the consolidated financial statements below. Additional information about the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures can be found under the caption "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and in Appendix A. Beginning in the second quarter 2024, the Company is presenting Insurance BER. Management believes that by adding quality improvement expenses into the Insurance BER calculation, this offers a clearer and more accurate representation of our investment in healthcare quality and member engagement, and more fully captures the cost of maintaining and enhancing the quality of care for our members.

3 Salaries and benefits plus General and administrative expenses ("SG&A") is the sum of Salaries and benefits plus General and administrative expenses presented as the GAAP measure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

4 Adjusted SG&A (Non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) are Non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of Adjusted SG&A (Non-GAAP) to SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) to Net loss from continuing operations, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are provided in the tables immediately following the consolidated financial statements below. Additional information about the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures can be found under the caption "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and in Appendix A.

5 Reconciliations of projected Adjusted SG&A (Non-GAAP) to projected SG&A, and projected Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) to Net loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are not provided because Stock-based compensation, which is excluded from Adjusted SG&A (Non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP), cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of projected Insurance BER (Non-GAAP) to projected Net medical claims incurred, net, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is not provided because quality improvements, which are included in Insurance BER (Non-GAAP), cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. Additional information about the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures can be found under the caption "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and in Appendix A.
