Full Year 2022 Results from Continuing Operations: Revenue of $2.4 billion, Net Loss of $638.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $233.5 million

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (March 1, 2023) (BUSINESSWIRE) – Bright Health Group, Inc. (“Bright Health” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BHG), the technology enabled, value-driven healthcare company serving aging and underserved consumers with unmet clinical needs, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

“The Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year of 2022 marked a year of significant transition, as we focus on our continuing business, which is anchored by our Consumer Care and Bright HealthCare segments, and successfully exit our ACA insurance business” said Mike Mikan, President and CEO of Bright Health Group. “While we recognize the significant work ahead of us, we have conviction in our go forward strategy. We are taking actions to best position the business for capital efficient, long-term growth as work to build a strong foundation with value-driven care. We are also taking early, but meaningful, steps to refocus and simplify our business, while we are gaining more certainty on the final obligations for our discontinued operations and strengthening our capital position.”

“As we continue to expand our refined model, we are confident that the continuing business is well-suited to capitalize on both the market environment as it stands today and the significant future upside of the industry,” added Mr. Mikan. “Most importantly, none of this would be possible without our dedicated team. In the face of a challenging year, we are grateful for their unwavering commitment to our mission, making healthcare right, together.”

Financial Outlook

For full year 2023, Bright Health Group is providing the following guidance and commentary:

Bright Health Group’s 2023 outlook remains consistent with the update provided in January 2023, but the company’s expectation for Revenue is now lower due to our finalized accounting treatment on certain value-based care contracts. Operating Cost expectations are unchanged, but is now forecast to be a higher percent of Revenue.

Bright Health Group’s Enterprise Revenue is expected to be between $2.9 billion and $3.1 billion.
On a segment basis, Bright HealthCare Revenue is expected to be greater than $1.8 billion, while Consumer Care Revenue is expected to be between $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion.
Enterprise Adjusted Operating Cost Ratio is expected to be between 13% and 14%
Bright Health Group expects to be Adjusted EBITDA profitable in 2023

Liquidity and Going Concern

Bright Health Group noted in a Form 8-K filed this morning that during the First Quarter of 2023 the Company breached the minimum liquidity covenant of its credit facility. Bright Health has been working cooperatively with its bank group and, as described in such Form 8-K, has entered into a waiver and amendment to its credit facility which reduced the minimum liquidity requirement until April 30th. As of February 24, 2023, the Company possesses more than $150 million in non-regulated cash, nearly all of which is in cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, the Company had over $2.8 billion of additional cash and short- or long-term investments held by its regulated insurance subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022.

Bright Health Group expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the next 15 days, which will include a disclosure around substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern”. This is predicated on the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital to fund our ongoing operations over the next twelve months. The Bright Health Board of Directors has formed a Special Committee and the Company has hired outside advisors to




evaluate options addressing the Company’s liquidity position that ensure the best possible outcome for Bright Health.

Earnings Conference Call

As previously announced, Bright Health Group will discuss the Company’s results, strategy, and outlook on a conference call with investors at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time today. Bright Health Group will host a live webcast of this conference call which can be accessed from the Investor Relations page of the company’s website (investors.brighthealthgroup.com). Following the call, a webcast replay will be available on the same site. This earnings release and the Form 8-K filed March 1, 2023, can be accessed on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website. We routinely post important information on our website, including corporate and investor presentations and financial information. We intend to use our website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Such disclosures will be included in the Investor Relations section of our website. Accordingly, investors should monitor this portion of our website, in addition to following our press releases, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and public conference calls and webcasts.

Notes

Reconciliations of projected Adjusted EBITDA and projected Adjusted Operating Cost Ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. With respect to Adjusted EBITDA, these GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, transaction costs, share-based compensation expense, changes in the fair value of equity securities, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, contract termination costs, restructuring costs; and the tax effect of all such items. Historically, the Company has excluded these items from non-GAAP financial measures. With respect to Adjusted Operating Cost Ratio, these GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as stock-based compensation, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, contract termination costs, and depreciation and amortization. The Company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures and may also exclude other items that may arise (collectively, “non-GAAP adjustments”). The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments, such as a decision to exit part of the business, are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net Loss excluding loss from discontinued operations, Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, adjusted for the impact of impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, acquisition and financing-related transaction costs, share-based compensation, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, changes in the fair value of equity securities, contract termination costs and restructuring costs. This non-GAAP measure has been presented in this quarterly Earnings Release as a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP because we believe it assists management and investors in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding and including items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes this measure is useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net Income (Loss) as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

(a)Beginning in fourth quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of discontinued operations. The comparable period in 2021 has been recast to exclude these impacts. Represents losses associated with the Commercial business segment that we exited at the end of 2022. The loss from discontinued operations includes over $165 million and over $180 million of investment impairments, restructuring costs, goodwill and intangibles impairments and other exit related costs for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
(b)Transaction costs include accounting, tax, valuation, consulting, legal and investment banking fees directly relating to business combinations and certain costs associated with our initial public offering. These costs can vary from period to period and impact comparability, and we do not believe such transaction costs reflect the ongoing performance of our business.
(c)Represents non-cash compensation expense related to stock option and restricted stock unit award grants, which can vary from period to period based on a number of factors, including the timing, quantity and grant date fair value of the awards.
(d)Beginning in 2022, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of changes in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. The comparable period in 2021 has been recast to exclude changes in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities.
(e)Represents the non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration from business combinations, which is remeasured at fair value each reporting period.
(f)Represents amounts paid for early termination of existing vendor contracts.
(g)Restructuring costs represent severance costs as part of a workforce reduction in 2022 and impairment of certain long-lived assets relating to our decision to exit the Commercial business for the 2023 plan year.
