Organization
Privia Health Group, Inc. (“Privia Health”, “Privia”, or the “Company”) is a technology-driven, national physician-enablement company that collaborates with medical groups, health plans, and health systems to optimize physician practices, improve patient experiences, and reward doctors for delivering high-value care in both in-person and virtual care settings (the “Privia Platform”).
The Company uses the same operational and financial model in each market it operates in. As of September 30, 2023, Privia operates in fourteen markets: 1) the Mid-Atlantic Region (states of Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia); 2) Georgia; 3) the Gulf Coast Region (Houston, Texas); 4) North Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas); 5) West Texas (Abilene, Texas); 6) Central Florida; 7) Tennessee; 8) California; 9) Montana; 10) Ohio; 11) North Carolina; 12) Delaware; 13) Connecticut; and 14) Washington state.
Medical groups are formed in each market with the primary purpose to operate as a physician group practice with healthcare services being furnished through physician members (“Privia Physicians”) and non-physician clinicians (together, “Privia Providers”) supervised by Privia Physicians.
The Company also forms local management companies to provide administrative and management services (“MSOs”) to the medical groups through a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”) in each market. The Company owns 100% of all MSOs, except seven where the Company is at least the majority owner.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of operations within the operating expense categories of provider expense, cost of platform, selling and marketing, and general and administrative are recorded exclusive of depreciation and amortization.
All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included.
Variable Interest Entities
Management evaluates the Company’s ownership, contractual, and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). These evaluations are complex, involve judgment and assumptions based on available historical information, among other factors. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual, or ownership, interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates such entity in its consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Management performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively.
The Company has relationships with medical groups in which the Company has no ownership interests, which are either (a) owned 100% by Privia Physicians (each, a “Non-Owned Medical Group” and collectively, “Non-Owned Medical Groups”) or (b) majority owned, indirectly through a professional entity by a licensed physician holding a Privia leadership position (each, a “Friendly Medical Group” and collectively, “Friendly Medical Groups”). Each of our Medical Groups (e.g., Owned Medical Groups, Non-Owned Medical Groups and Friendly Medical Groups) contracts with the Privia Physician’s historic practice entity, which no longer furnishes healthcare services (the “Affiliated Practice”) whereby the Affiliated Practice provides certain subcontracted services to the Medical Groups to allow the Medical Group to operate at the practice location.
The Company evaluated its relationship with (a) Non-Owned Medical Groups (not including Friendly Medical Groups) and their Affiliated Practices, (b) Friendly Medical Groups and their Affiliated Practices, and (c) Affiliated Practices associated with Owned Medical Groups to determine if any of these entities should be subject to consolidation. The Company does not have ownership interest in any Affiliated Practices (whether those of Owned Medical Groups, Non-Owned Medical Groups or Friendly Medical Groups); nor does the Company have an ownership in Non-Owned Medical Groups. The Physician Member Services Agreement (“PMSA”) and support services agreement (“SSA”) entered by Non-Owned Medical Groups and Friendly Medical Groups with their Privia Physician members and the Affiliated Practices are not contractual relationships within Privia’s legal structure. The only contractual relationship between Privia and Non-Owned Medical Groups is established through the MSA. For Friendly Medical Groups, in addition to the MSA, the Company has a contractual relationship, evidenced by a restriction agreement (each a “Restriction
Agreement”) with its licensed physician holding a Privia leadership position (“Nominee Physicians”) and their respective Friendly Medical Groups. Management has determined, based on the provisions of the MSAs between the Company and Non-Owned Medical Groups, and after considering the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), the Company is not required to consolidate the financial position or results of operations of the Affiliated Practices associated with Owned Medical Groups; nor is it required to consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Non-Owned Medical Groups (and, therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate the Affiliated Practices of the Non-Owned Medical Groups). However, management has determined, based on the provisions of the Restriction Agreement on the Nominee Physician (Friendly PC), the governing documents of the Friendly Medical Groups, and after considering the requirements of ASC 810, that the Company should consolidate the financial position or results of operations of the Friendly Medical Groups and the Friendly PCs.
ASC 810 requires the Company to consolidate the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of a Non-Owned Medical Group affiliated by means of a service agreement if the Non-Owned Medical Group is a VIE and the Company is its primary beneficiary. An Affiliated Practice would be considered a VIE if (a) it is thinly capitalized (i.e., the equity is not sufficient to fund the Non-Owned Medical Group’s activities without additional subordinated financial support) or (b) the equity holders of the Non-Owned Medical Group as a group have one of the following four characteristics: (i) lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the Non-Owned Medical Group’s economic performance, (ii) possess non-substantive voting rights, (iii) lack the obligation to absorb the Non-Owned Medical Group’s expected losses, or (iv) lack the right to receive the Non-Owned Medical Group’s expected residual returns.
The characteristics of both (a) and (b) do not exist and as such the Non-Owned Medical Groups do not represent VIEs. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Non-Owned Medical Groups that are affiliated with the Company by means of a service agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Each time that it enters into a new service agreement or enters into a material amendment to an existing service agreement, the Company considers whether the terms of that agreement or amendment would change the elements it considers in accordance with the VIE guidance. The same analysis was performed for the Affiliated Practices of Owned Medical Groups, which have contractual relationships with Privia through the SSA, and the Company determined they do not represent VIEs as they do not meet the criteria in ASC 810 for similar reasons as those outlined above.
The Company, however, does meet the criteria for consolidation of the Friendly Medical Groups based on the discussion above.
In February 2023, the Company announced a partnership with Community Medical Group, the largest Clinically Integrated Network (“CIN”) in Connecticut with approximately 1,100 multi-specialty providers, to launch Privia Quality Network Connecticut (“PQN-CT”). The Company performed an analysis as noted above and determined that PQN- CT does not represent a VIE as it does not meet the criteria in ASC 810, but the entity is consolidated because Privia owns a majority of the voting interest in the entity.
Privia Medical Group – West Texas, PLLC, (“PMG West Texas”) is a physician-owned Medical Group, with PMG West Texas Holdings, PLLC (“Friendly WTX PC”), a Texas professional limited liability company entirely owned by a licensed physician with a leadership role in the Company, owning majority membership interests and having governance and control rights via the governing documents of PMG West Texas. The Company has a contractual relationship with Friendly WTX PC through a Restriction Agreement. The VIE analysis was performed, and the Company determined that characteristic (b) exists as a result of meeting (ii) and (iv) and as such, PMG West Texas and Friendly WTX PC do represent VIEs and are consolidated as they do meet the criteria in ASC 810.
Privia Medical Group Tennessee, PLLC (“PMG-TN”) is a physician-owned Medical Group, with PMG-TN Physicians, PLLC, a Tennessee professional limited liability company entirely owned by a licensed physician with a leadership role in the Company (“Friendly TN PC”), owning majority membership interests therein and having governance and control rights via the governing documents of PMG-TN. Again, the same analysis was performed, and the Company determined that characteristic (b) exists as a result of meeting (ii) and (iv) and as such, PMG-TN and Friendly TN PC do represent VIEs as they do meet the criteria in ASC 810.
Privia Medical Group Washington, PLLC, (“PMG WA”) is a physician-owned Medical Group, with PMG Washington Holdings, PLLC (“Friendly WA PC”), a Washington professional limited liability company entirely owned by a licensed physician with a leadership role in the Company, owning majority membership interests and having governance and control rights via the governing documents of PMG WA. The Company has a contractual relationship with Friendly WA PC through a Restriction Agreement. The VIE analysis was performed, and the Company determined that characteristic (b) exists as a result of meeting (i), (ii) and (iv) and as such, PMG WA and Friendly WA PC do represent VIEs and are consolidated as they do meet the criteria in ASC 810.
The aggregated carrying value of the Company’s VIE’s for both the current assets and liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets after elimination of intercompany transactions were $8.2 million as of September 30, 2023 and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis the Company evaluates significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, provider liability, revenue recognition,
stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives of assets, intangible assets subject to amortization, and the computation of income taxes. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Management evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Operating Segments
The Company determined in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) that the Company operates in and reports as a single operating segment, and therefore one reporting segment – Privia Health Group, Inc.
Business Combination
Accounting for business combinations requires us to allocate the fair value of purchase considerations to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values, which were determined primarily using the income method. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identified assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, forecasted revenue growth rates, medical claims expense, cost of care expenses, operating expenses, discount rate, contract terms and useful life from acquired assets.
Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Allocation of purchase consideration to identifiable assets and liabilities affects the Company’s amortization expense, as acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the useful life, whereas any indefinite lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized. During the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. During February and August 2023, the Company completed acquisitions to expand into new markets. The consideration paid for the acquisitions was derived through arm’s length negotiations. The Company’s acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method pursuant to the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The results of operations of the acquisitions have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since their respective date of acquisition. For additional details, refer to Note 3 “Business Combinations.”
Non-Controlling Interest
The non-controlling interest represents the equity interest of the non-controlling equity holders in results of operations of Privia Management Services Organization, LLC, Privia Management Company Montana, LLC, BASS Privia Management Company of California, LLC, Privia Management Company West Texas, LLC, Privia Management Company North Carolina, LLC, Privia Management Company of Ohio, LLC, Privia Services Company Connecticut, LLC, Privia Quality Network Connecticut, LLC, Privia Quality Network Delaware, LLC and our Owned Medical Groups. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of less-than-100%-owned affiliates where the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company has separately reflected net income attributable to the non-controlling interests in net income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company described its significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to those accounting policies and estimates, other than those noted below.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the expense recognition provisions of ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the issuer to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees based on the fair value of the share-based payment at the date of grant. Up until April 2021, the estimated fair value of share-based payments granted to the Company’s employees was determined using the Monte-Carlo option pricing model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including expected term of the option, expected stock price volatility, the risk free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option and the Company’s expected dividend yield (See Note 9, “Stockholders’ Equity”). The share-based payments granted or modified prior to April 2021 to employees of the Company do not have quoted market prices, and changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Since April 2021, the Company has estimated the fair value of the options granted to Company’s employees and contractors using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option valuation models require several inputs, such as the expected stock price volatility, the fair value of the stock, the risk free rate, the expected term of the award and the dividend yield. The Company records
share-based compensation forfeitures as a reversal of previously recognized compensation expense as the forfeitures occur. For additional details, refer to Note 9 “Stockholders’ Equity.”
The Company issued performance stock units ("PSUs") during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The awards will vest based on the satisfaction of certain service conditions, performance-based conditions, and/or market conditions. The Company has identified certain performance metrics associated with some of these awards and certain targets will be fully established at a future date. For the awards with performance-based conditions where the target will be fully established at a future date, the Company has determined that the service inception date precedes the grant date for these awards as (a) the awards were authorized prior to establishing an accounting grant date, (b) the recipients began providing services prior to the grant date, and (c) there are performance conditions that, if not met by the accounting grant date, will result in the forfeiture of the awards. As the service inception date precedes the accounting grant date, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period based on the estimated fair value at each reporting date. For the awards that are solely based on employment and the achievement of certain market performance metric targets, which have already been determined, the fair value of the PSUs are determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model as of the grant date and recognize stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
