CLOV Clover Health Investments Corporation

Clover Health Investments, Corp. (Nasdaq: CLOV) ("Clover" or the "Company"), a physician enablement company focused on improving health outcomes for America's seniors, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2022. Management will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss its operating results and other business highlights.

"2022 is off to a strong start, led by significant year-over-year revenue growth and quarter-over-quarter margin improvements in Insurance (Medicare Advantage) and Non-Insurance (Direct Contracting)," said Clover Health CEO Vivek Garipalli. "We believe our focus on balancing this strong growth with ongoing action to further reduce MCRs and increase operational efficiencies is powering our progress towards profitability."

Andrew Toy, President of Clover Health, added, "This year we’ll continue investing in the Clover Assistant to deliver data driven value based care and are rounding out our leadership team with top level talent. Further, we believe our focus on building a sustainable, intelligent, and efficient growth engine will benefit our results by driving incremental scale, improvements across our Insurance MCR, positive Non-Insurance results, and more efficient operating expenses."

We have updated the names of our Medicare Advantage (MA) and Direct Contracting segments to our Insurance and Non-Insurance segments, respectively. We believe that this approach better reflects each segment’s current role and contribution to our business. There has been no change to the existing composition of these segments, and previously reported consolidated and segment-level financial results of the Company were not impacted by these changes.

Key Company highlights are as follows:

Dollars in Millions		Q1’22				Q1’21
Total Revenue		$	874.4			$	200.3
Insurance MCR			96.4	%			107.9	%
Non-Insurance MCR			99.8				—
Salaries and Benefits Plus General and Administrative Expenses		$	126.8			$	104.6
Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP) (1)(2)			84.4				58.2
Net Loss			(75.3	)			(48.4	)
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) (1)(2)			(71.8	)			(72.5	)

(1)

Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP) to the sum of Salaries and Benefits Plus General and Administrative Expenses and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) to Net Loss, 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.

(2)

Beginning in first quarter 2022, we are no longer reporting Normalized MA MCR (Non-GAAP) and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP), reflecting the expected reduction in the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results. We have also updated our definition and presentation of Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) to exclude premium deficiency reserve expense or benefit (PDR), gain on investment, and expenses attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc., and Clover Therapeutics Company. PDR is now being excluded because management believes that PDR does not reflect the Company’s underlying fundamentals due to the significant variability in PDR from period to period and because it is a non-cash item, gain on investment is being excluded because it is a non-cash item and does not reflect the Company’s underlying operations, and expenses attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc., and Clover Therapeutics Company are being excluded because management believes they are not reflective of the Company’s operating expenses relating to its core businesses or its actual recurring cash expense. The prior period figure has been revised to conform to the updated definition and presentation. For additional information, see the definition of "Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)" in Appendix A.

Clover Assistant (CA) Highlights

• Lives under Clover Assistant Management grew ~550% year-over-year to 211,386.
• Approximately 3,600 unique users (NPIs) were live on Clover Assistant in the first quarter, up ~43% year-over-year.
• During 2021, our Insurance members whose primary care providers (PCPs) used the Clover Assistant had an MCR that was more than 1,000 basis points lower than members whose PCPs didn't. Further, our returning 2021 Insurance members with PCPs who were live on CA in 2018 had a 4.2% lower incurred Insurance MCR (non-GAAP)(1) than members with PCPs who went live on CA in 2019, and members with PCPs who went live on CA in 2019 had a 5.5% lower incurred Insurance MCR (non-GAAP) than members with PCPs who went live on CA in 2020.(1) Incurred Insurance MCR (Non-GAAP) is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of Incurred Insurance MCR (Non-GAAP) to Insurance MCR, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is 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.

Financial Outlook

"The first quarter was a solid start to the year. We are cautiously optimistic about the remainder of 2022, and are maintaining our expectations for a meaningful improvement over last year," said Mark Herbers, interim Chief Financial Officer of Clover Health. "We continue to focus on sustainable and intelligent growth, including a deeper analysis of our specific markets, to drive our go-to-market strategy. Importantly, we believe there are multiple levers that we can utilize in order to drive another step-wise improvement in our Insurance MCR, better Non-Insurance results and lower operating expenses."

For full-year 2022, Clover Health is reaffirming its previously provided guidance and commentary:

• Total revenues are expected to be in the range of $3.0 billion to $3.4 billion. This includes projected Insurance revenue of $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion and Non-Insurance revenue of $2.0 billion to $2.3 billion.
• Insurance membership is expected to average 84,000 - 85,000, a growth rate of 26% - 27% as compared to the 2021 average. For the Non-Insurance program, the Company expects the average number of aligned beneficiaries to be 160,000 - 165,000, compared to an average of 62,125 in 2021.
• Insurance MCR is expected to be in the range of 95% - 99%. This improvement versus 2021 is expected to be driven by a combination of expected operational efficiencies, increased risk scores, and slightly lower COVID-19 costs. Non-Insurance MCR is also expected to improve versus 2021 levels. Any significant developments related to COVID-19 and/or historical utilization trends could impact these expectations.
• Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP)(1) are expected to be between $330 million and $345 million.
• Adjusted Operating Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue (Non-GAAP)(1) is expected to be 10% - 12% compared to 18% in 2021.(1) Reconciliations of projected Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP) to projected Salaries and Benefits Plus General and Administrative Expenses and of projected Adjusted Operating Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue (Non-GAAP) to projected Salaries and Benefits Plus General and Administrative Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are not provided because stock-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP), cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts.

In first quarter 2022, we updated our definition and presentation of Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) to exclude premium deficiency reserve expense or benefit (PDR), gain on investment, and expenses attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc. and Clover Therapeutics Company from the calculation of this measure. PDR is now being excluded because management believes PDR does not reflect the Company's underlying fundamentals due to the significant variability in PDR from period to period and because it is a non-cash item, gain on investment is being excluded because it is a non-cash item and management believes it does not reflect the Company's underlying operations, and expenses attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc., and Clover Therapeutics Company are being excluded because management believes they are not reflective of the Company’s operating expenses relating to its core businesses or its actual recurring cash expense. Previously reported Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) figures have been revised in the table above to conform to the updated presentation.

CLOVER HEALTH INVESTMENTS, CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIESAppendix AExplanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items

Non-GAAP Adjustments

We believe it is useful to investors for our presentation within this document of financial measures on a non-GAAP basis to exclude the below items. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of these amounts provides useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business. These key measures are used by our management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operating plans. In addition, we believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures enhances an investor's understanding of our financial performance.

Amortization of notes and securities discount - We report non-convertible notes and convertible securities at carrying value, net of discount. We account for convertible securities in accordance with accounting guidance for debt with conversion and other options, after determining whether embedded conversion options should be bifurcated from their host instruments.

Change in fair value of warrants payable - The fair value of warrant liabilities is estimated using a valuation method based on the level of instrument, where the values of various instruments are estimated based on an analysis of future values, assuming various future outcomes.

Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization consists of all depreciation and amortization expenses associated with our property and equipment. Depreciation includes expenses associated with property and equipment. Amortization includes expenses associated with leasehold improvements.

Expenses Attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc. and Clover Therapeutics Company - This consists of expenses incurred by the Company in the current period attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc. and Clover Therapeutics Company. These expenses are excluded from Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) because management believes they are not reflective of the Company's core businesses or its actual recurring cash expense and therefore do not appropriately reflect the Company's underlying fundamentals.

Gain on Investment - Gain on investment consists of the gain recorded by the Company upon the completion by one of its subsidiaries, Clover Therapeutics Company, of a private capital transaction during the first quarter of 2022.

Interest Expense - Interest expense consists mostly of interest expense associated with previously outstanding non-convertible notes under our term loan facility that was terminated in the second quarter of 2021.

Premium deficiency reserve expense (benefit) – This consists of a reserve established to the extent that the sum of expected future costs, claim adjustment expenses, and maintenance costs exceeds related future premiums under contracts without consideration of investment income. We assess the profitability of our contracts with CMS to identify those contracts where current operating results or forecasts indicate probable future losses. Premium deficiency reserve expense (benefit) is recognized in the period in which the losses are identified.

Prior Period Development – This consists of our estimate of adjustments in the current period which relate to prior period dates of service. We exclude these amounts from Incurred Insurance MCR (Non-GAAP) to isolate our estimate of current period performance.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense – This consists of expenses for stock-based payment awards granted to employees and non-employees.

Non-GAAP Definitions

Adjusted EBITDA - A non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net loss before interest expense, amortization of notes and securities discount, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of warrants payable, gain on investment, stock-based compensation expense, premium deficiency reserve expense (benefit), and expenses attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc., and Clover Therapeutics Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management team and the board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operating plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors and others useful information to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and our board of directors.

Adjusted Operating Expenses - A non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as Salaries and benefits plus General and administrative expenses, less Stock-based compensation expense, and expenses attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc. and Clover Therapeutics Company. We believe that Adjusted Operating Expenses provides management, investors, and others a useful view of our operating spend as it excludes non-cash, stock-based compensation, and expenses related to investments that management believes do not reflect the Company's core operating expenses. We believe that Adjusted Operating Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue is useful to management, investors, and others because it allows us to measure our operational leverage as revenue scales.

Incurred Insurance MCR - A non-GAAP financial measure that excludes from Insurance Medical Care Ratio (as defined below) the impact of prior period development. We believe that this metric, which is used by our management team in the operation of the business, is helpful to investors and others in assessing the medical care ratios of various cohorts of our members, excluding the impact associated with adjustments made in the current period relating to prior period dates of service.

Definitions of Other Items

Non-Insurance Medical Care Ratio - We calculate our Non-Insurance medical care ratio (MCR) by dividing net medical claims incurred in connection with our Non-Insurance operations by Non-Insurance revenue in a given period. We believe our Non-Insurance MCR is an indicator of our gross profitability and our ability to capture and analyze data over time to generate actionable insights for returning beneficiaries to improve care and reduce medical expenses.

Lives under Clover Assistant Management - Insurance members and Original Medicare beneficiaries whose providers or practices were live on the Clover Assistant on or before March 31, 2022. We believe that Lives under Clover Assistant Management is a useful measure of the size of the beneficiary population for whom we believe we have the potential to enhance healthcare delivery, reduce expenditures, and improve care.

Lives under Clover Management - Consists of our (i) Insurance members and (ii) Original Medicare beneficiaries aligned to the Company's Direct Contracting Entity (DCE) via attribution to a DCE-participating provider through alignment based on claims data or by beneficiary election through voluntarily alignment, in connection with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Global and Professional Direct Contracting Model, which will transition to the ACO Reach model in 2023. We believe that Lives under Clover Management is a useful measure of the size of the beneficiary population managed by the Company.

Insurance Medical Care Ratio, Gross and Net - We calculate our Insurance medical care ratio (MCR) by dividing total net medical claims incurred by premiums earned, in each case on a gross or net basis, as the case may be, in a given period. We believe our MCR is an indicator of our gross profit for our Medicare Advantage plans and the ability of our Clover Assistant platform to capture and analyze data over time to generate actionable insights for returning members to improve care and reduce medical expenses.
