Oak Street Health, Inc. (NYSE:OSH, or the "Company"))), a network of value-based primary care centers for adults on Medicare, today reported financial results for its quarter ended June 30, 2021.

"We were pleased with another quarter of strong growth in light of continued uncertainty navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. We remain committed to our patients and communities, as we have throughout the pandemic, and are particularly proud of the more than 180,000 vaccine doses we have administered this year to predominantly older adults in underserved communities," said Mike Pykosz, Chief Executive Officer of Oak Street Health. "In the second quarter, we generated at-risk patient growth of 54% and total revenue growth of 65% and continued our national expansion, opening 9 new centers in four new markets. On August 5^th, we opened our 100th center compared to just 54 when the pandemic began in March 2020. We did encounter medical cost headwinds during the quarter related to COVID-19 hospitalizations, a significant increase in non-acute utilization, and historically high medical costs for new patients, resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $53.5 million compared to the low end of our prior guidance of $40.0 million. However, based on the strong performance across the majority of the drivers of business performance, our belief that the increase in medical costs will be temporary, and the expectation that we will receive an increase in per patient revenue in 2022 based on the increasing disease burden of our patient population, we are confident in the economics of our business in 2022 and beyond. Because of this confidence, we are increasing our new center guidance from 38-42 to 46-48 new centers for full year 2021."

Tim Cook, Chief Financial Officer of Oak Street Health added, "We recognized revenue and incurred medical claims expense of approximately $14.5 million and $19.0 million, respectively, in the second quarter related to prior periods. In light of our strong growth, we are increasing our revenue guidance for the full year to $1.37 billion to $1.40 billion, representing an increase of 5% at the midpoint compared to our prior full year guidance, but we are increasing our Adjusted EBITDA loss for the year to a range of $240 million to $220 million given the medical cost trends we experienced in the first half of the year and the assumed continuation of those costs for the remainder of the year as well as the increase in the number of new centers in the second half of 2021."

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

Total revenue was $353.1 million, up 65% year over year
Capitated revenue totaled $346.7 million, up 67% year over year
The Company cared for approximately 88,500 risk-based patients, representing approximately 73% of its total patients
Net loss was ($100.3) ¹ million, compared to ($26.8) million in the second quarter of 2020
Adjusted EBITDA² was ($53.5) million, compared to ($17.5) million in the second quarter of 2020
As of June 30, 2021, the Company operated 95 centers, compared to 54 centers as of June 30, 2020

__________________

(1)	Includes stock based and unit based compensation of $40.9 million and $4.2 million as of the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The majority of the increase is due to the modification of vesting terms related to the equity converted as part of the IPO and not incremental grants of equity.
(2)	Adjusted EBITDA is a non GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure and is reconciled to net loss as the most directly comparable GAAP measure as set forth in the accompanying "Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation" section. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, excluding other income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock based and unit based compensation and transaction/ offering related costs.

Outlook for Third Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021

	Three Months Ending		Twelve Months Ending
	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2021
	Low	High	Low	High
	(dollars in millions)
Centers	109	110	125	127
At risk patients	98,500	100,000	109,000	113,000
Revenue	$355	$360	$1,370	$1,400
Adjusted EBITDA	($70)	($65)	($240)	($220)

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and have not provided forward-looking guidance for net loss, because of the uncertainty around certain items that may impact net loss, including stock- based and unit-based compensation, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. However, for fiscal year 2021, depreciation and amortization is expected to be $15.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of these financial measures are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures within the meaning of Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of our results of operations and the factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by our management to evaluate financial results and to plan and forecast future periods. However, non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by us may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including our competitors. To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose the following Non-GAAP measures: patient contribution, platform contribution and Adjusted EBITDA as these are performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance. Because patient contribution, platform contribution and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes and in evaluating acquisition opportunities.

Patient Contribution Reconciliation

Patient Contribution is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as capitated revenue less medical claims expense. The following is a reconciliation of our loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Patient Contribution, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net loss adjusted to exclude (i) stock and unit-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) other income, net and (iv) transaction and offering costs. Our management team uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure in order to assess our operating performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes and in evaluating acquisition opportunities. The following is a reconciliation of our net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
