Agilon Health (NYSE:AGL – Get Free Report) announced its earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported $1.97 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of ($1.23) by $3.20, FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $1.52 billion during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $1.46 billion. Agilon Health had a negative return on equity of 119.38% and a negative net margin of 3.92%.
Here are the key takeaways from Agilon Health’s conference call:
- Agilon raised its 2026 outlook after beating third-quarter guidance, now expecting approximately $5.88 billion in revenue and $150 million in adjusted EBITDA. The stronger outlook reflects higher risk-adjustment revenue and favorable first-half medical cost development, though the company assumes cost trends around 7% for the rest of the year.
- Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA was $64 million, compared with a $91 million loss a year earlier, and the medical services expense ratio improved to 88.5% from 104%. Results benefited from risk-adjustment true-ups, favorable prior-year development, ACO performance, and lower-than-expected medical costs.
- ACO membership is expected to grow approximately 40%–50% in 2027, reaching about 160,000 members, driven largely by expanded MSSP partnerships. Management expects this growth to support improving baseline ACO adjusted EBITDA, while emphasizing a measured approach to new partnerships.
- Medicare Advantage membership was 454,000, down about 10% year over year, reflecting previously announced market exits tied to the company’s profitability-focused contracting strategy. Management also expects 2027 contracting benefits to be more modest than in 2026, when it re-contracted roughly 80% of membership.
- Management cited progress in clinical pathways and quality, including a 3% increase in gap closure and 4.2-star performance on contracted-plan quality measures. It said these programs can improve care and reduce avoidable costs, but noted that implementation and performance still vary across partners.
