“We delivered another quarter of strong growth, with practice collections in the third quarter increasing 18.1%, care margin growing 31.5% and adjusted EBITDA up 51.9% when compared to the third quarter last year,” said Shawn Morris, Chief Executive Officer, Privia Health. “We continue to gain momentum with greater awareness of our uniquely aligned provider partnership model, which is highlighted by 15.2% growth of implemented providers and a 17.6% increase in attributed lives across a number of value-based reimbursement programs from a year ago.

“As we noted last quarter, we continued to expand our number of provider partners, increase attributed lives, enter new markets and leverage our capital-efficient operating structure,” Morris added. “We expect to accelerate top-line growth and continue to expand our profit margin as we execute on our multiple market opportunities in the coming year.”

Total revenue for the first nine months of 2021 was $690.9 million, compared to total revenue of $603.4 million for the same period in the prior year (+14.5%).

Value-Based Shared Savings Performance
On August 25, 2021, Privia Health announced its Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) delivered quality care and improved patient outcomes, and achieved shared savings of $86.5 million through the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). The Company’s ACOs, collectively the Privia Quality Network, include physicians and advanced practitioners in Georgia, Maryland, Texas, Virginia and Washington, DC, who provided high-value, cost-efficient care to over 121,000 Medicare beneficiaries in 2020.

Across the Privia Quality Network, the ACOs lowered inpatient and outpatient facility spend as well as emergency room utilization, among other positive performance metrics, when compared to the median MSSP ACO and total fee-for-service Medicare. Since 2014, the Company’s ACOs have realized total shared savings across government programs and commercial payers of more than $576 million, including over $281 million through participation in the MSSP.

New Market Entries
On October 18, 2021, Privia Health announced its entrance into the California market through an affiliation with BASS Medical Group, one of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area’s leading healthcare multi-specialty groups with more than 400 providers spanning 42 specialties caring for patients at over 125 locations. The Company also launched Privia Medical Group – West Texas with anchor partner Abilene Diagnostic Clinic, an independent multi-specialty group practice with more than 30 providers and five care center locations. This expands Privia Health’s presence in Texas, complements its established and expanding provider practice locations in North Texas and Gulf Coast regions, and will take advantage of economies of scale across the state.

These new partnerships demonstrate Privia Health’s ability to replicate its operating model with new medical groups in uniquely differentiated markets as the Company executes on its vision to build scaled provider networks nationwide and enable providers to transition profitably to increased risk in value-based programs over time.

Financial and Business Outlook ^{a b}

Privia Health is updating its full-year 2021 guidance to reflect management’s expectation of the fourth quarter impact of the Company’s recent entry into the California and West Texas markets as well as its strong year-to-date performance and positive business momentum in existing markets, as follows:

	Initial FY 2021 Guidance 5.27.21				Guidance at 8.9.21	Current FY 2021 Guidance 11.8.21
($ in millions)	Low		High			Low		High
Implemented Providers		2,850		2,900	Mid-to-High End		3,300		3,330
Attributed Lives		730,000		750,000	High End		760,000		765,000
Practice Collections	$	1,445	$	1,465	High End	$	1,520	$	1,540
GAAP Revenue		860		880	High End		900		920
Care Margin		215		221	High End		225		230
Platform Contribution		93		98	High End		102		105
Adjusted EBITDA ^c	$	34	$	38	High End	$	39	$	41

Management has not reconciled forward-looking non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures of operating income and net income. This is because the Company cannot predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable efforts the ultimate outcome of certain GAAP components of such reconciliations due to market-related assumptions that are not within our control as well as certain legal or advisory costs, tax costs or other costs that may arise. For these reasons, management is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could materially impact the amount of the future directly comparable GAAP measures.
See “Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information as to how the Company defines and calculates Implemented Providers, Attributed Lives, Practice Collections, Care Margin, Platform Contribution, and Adjusted EBITDA, and for a reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measures to Care Margin, Platform Contribution, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share.
Certain non-recurring or non-cash expenses will be treated as an add back in the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA, and the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, the details of which can be found in the Reconciliation schedules near the end of this and in future quarterly financial press releases.
Adjusted EBITDA guidance does not add back actual or estimated new market entry and development costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports and discusses its operating results using financial measures consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). From time to time, in press releases, financial presentations, earnings conference calls or otherwise, the Company may disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release should not be viewed as alternatives or substitutes for the Company's reported GAAP results. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth in the tables that accompany this release.

The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are relevant and provide useful information to the Company's management, investors, and other interested parties about the Company's operating performance because the measures allow them to understand and compare the Company's actual and expected operating results during the prior, current and future periods in a more consistent manner. The non-GAAP measures presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of the results of operations and trends affecting the Company's business. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement
The financial results in this press release reflect preliminary, unaudited results, which are not final until the Company’s Form 10-Q is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to our current expectations, projections and assumptions about our business, the economy and future events or conditions. They do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “aims,” “anticipates,” "assumes," “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “future,” “intends,” “likely,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “seeks,” “strategy,” “targets,” “trends,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” and variations of such terms and similar expressions and references to guidance, although some forward-looking statements may be expressed differently. In particular, these include statements relating to, among other things, the possible effects of COVID-19; our future actions, business plans, objectives and prospects; and our future operating or financial performance and projections, including our full year guidance for 2021. Factors or events that could cause actual results to differ may emerge from time to time and are difficult to predict. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results may differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you not to place undue reliance upon any of these forward-looking statements.

Factors related to these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: compliance with applicable healthcare laws and government regulations in the heavily regulated industry in which the Company operates; the Company’s dependence on relationships with its medical groups, some of which the Company does not own; the Company’s growth strategy, which may not prove viable and the Company may not realize expected results; difficulties implementing the Company’s proprietary end-to-end, cloud-based technology solution for Privia physicians and new medical groups; the high level of competition in the Company’s industry and the Company’s failure to compete and innovate; challenges in successfully establishing a presence in new geographic markets; the Company’s reliance on its electronic medical record vendor, which the Privia Technology Solution is integrated and built upon; changes in the payer mix of patients and potential decreases in the Company’s reimbursement rates as a result of consolidation among commercial payers; the Company’s use, disclosure, and other processing of personally identifiable information, including health information, is subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and other federal and state privacy and security regulations; and those factors referenced in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s final prospectus dated April 28, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 30, 2021, and the Company’s other public filings.
