    FRANKLIN, Tenn., Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clover Health Investments, Corp. (NASDAQ: CLOV) ("Clover," "Clover Health" or the "Company"), a physician enablement company committed to bringing access to great healthcare to everyone on Medicare, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2023. Management will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss its operating results and other business highlights.

    For the second quarter 2023, the Company reported revenue of $513.6 million and net loss of $28.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter 2023 improved to a gain of $10.0 million compared to the second quarter 2022 loss of $83.9 million. Compared to the second quarter 2022, Insurance revenue grew by 17% to $314.4 million, and MCR improved to 77.2% from 92.1%. As contemplated in the Company's previously disclosed strategic shift for the Non-Insurance segment, Non-Insurance revenue declined by 67% to $193.5 million, and MCR improved to 99.6% from 106.0%.

    "We’re delighted to have delivered our first quarterly Adjusted EBITDA profit as a public company,” said Clover Health CEO Andrew Toy. “We have been strategically focused on demonstrating the strength of our model by maturing operations, driving efficiencies, and continuing to invest in Clover Assistant R&D and our home care capabilities. We have multiple exciting initiatives in each of these areas that we expect will allow us to maintain our momentum through the second half of the year and into 2024. We are reflecting that expectation via significantly improved full year 2023 guidance for the Insurance segment and on a consolidated basis."

    "Insurance MCR improved by more than 1,400 basis points and Non-Insurance MCR improved by more than 600 basis points, demonstrating the strength of our strategy and our ability to make strides towards sustainable profitability,” said Clover Health CFO Scott Leffler. “We are excited about our improved outlook for 2023, the favorable impact on our liquidity position, and are also increasingly confident in the Company’s potential to deliver profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis for full year 2024 without the necessity of raising additional capital."

    Key Company highlights are as follows:

    Dollars in Millions Q2'23 Q2'22
    Insurance revenue $314.4  $268.5 
    Non-Insurance revenue  193.5   577.4 
    Total revenue  513.6   846.7 
    Insurance MCR  77.2%  92.1%
    Non-Insurance MCR  99.6   106.0 
    Salaries and benefits plus General and administrative expenses ("SG&A")(1) $104.9  $117.5 
    Adjusted Salaries and benefits plus General and administrative expenses ("Adjusted SG&A") (non-GAAP)(1)(2)(3)(4)  66.7   71.8 
    Net loss  (28.8)  (104.4)
    Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)(3)(4)  10.0   (83.9)


    (1) Salaries and benefits plus General and administrative expenses ("SG&A") is the sum of Salaries and benefits plus General and administrative expenses presented as the GAAP measure in the consolidated financial statements.
    (2) Beginning with the third quarter of 2022, we updated the name of our Adjusted Operating Expenses (non-GAAP) metric to Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP). Please refer to footnote 4 for the updates to Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) beginning in the first quarter of 2023.
    (3) Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) to SG&A 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.
    (4) Beginning in the first quarter 2023, we updated our definition and presentation of Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) and Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) to exclude restructuring costs and non-recurring legal expenses and settlements. Beginning in the second quarter 2023 restructuring costs will be presented separately in the consolidated statement of operations. Restructuring costs and non-recurring legal expenses and settlements are now being excluded because management believes that restructuring costs and non-recurring legal expenses and settlements do not reflect the Company's underlying fundamentals and 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 definitions of "Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)" and “Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP)” in Appendix A.


    Financial Outlook
    For full-year 2023, Clover Health is providing its guidance as follows:

    • Insurance revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.20 billion to $1.23 billion in 2023, a growth rate of 11% - 13% as compared to full year 2022 Insurance revenue.
    • Insurance MCR is expected to be in the range of 83% - 85% in 2023.
    • Non-Insurance revenue is expected to be in the range of $0.75 billion to $0.80 billion in 2023.
    • Non-Insurance MCR is expected to be in the range of 98% - 100% in 2023.
    • Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP)(1) is expected to be between $315 million and $325 million.
    • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)(1) is expected to be between ($70 million) and ($120 million).
    (1)
     Reconciliations of projected Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) to projected SG&A, and projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to Net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are not provided because Stock-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. 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.

    Appendix A
    Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    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, gain on investment, stock-based compensation expense, premium deficiency reserve benefit, restructuring costs, non-recurring legal expenses and settlements, and expenses attributable to Seek. 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 SG&A - A non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as total SG&A less Stock-based compensation expense, less non-recurring legal expenses and settlements, less expenses attributable to Seek Insurance Services, Inc. We believe that Adjusted SG&A 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 SG&A as a percentage of revenue is useful to management, investors, and others because it allows us to measure our operational leverage as revenue scales. Beginning with the third quarter of 2022, we updated the name of our Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP) metric to Adjusted SG&A (Non-GAAP).
