MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1, "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, reference is made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026.
In this section, "we," "our," "ours," and "us" refer to Astrana Health, Inc. ("Astrana") and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated entities, as appropriate, including its consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs").
Overview
Astrana is a leading physician-centric, AI-powered, risk-bearing healthcare management company. Leveraging our proprietary population health management and healthcare delivery platform, we operate an integrated, value-based healthcare model that aims to empower the providers in our network to deliver the highest quality of care in a cost-effective manner. Together with our affiliated physician groups and consolidated entities, we cost-effectively provide coordinated outcomes-based medical care.
Through our risk-bearing organizations with more than 20,000 contracted physicians, we were responsible for coordinating the care for approximately 1.5 million patients as of June 30, 2026. These covered patients are managed care members whose health coverage is provided either through their employers, directly from a health plan, or as a result of their eligibility for Medicaid or Medicare benefits. Our managed patients benefit from an integrated approach that places physicians at the center of patient care and utilizes sophisticated risk management techniques and clinical protocols to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care.
Key Financial Measures and Indicators
Operating Revenues
Our revenue, which is recorded in the period during which services are rendered and earned, generally on a monthly basis, primarily consists of capitation revenue, risk pool settlements and incentives, management fee income, fee-for-service ("FFS") revenue, and other revenue primarily consisting of revenues earned from maternity care. The form of billing and related collection risk for such services may vary by revenue type and customer.
Operating Expenses
Our largest expenses consist of the cost of (a) patient care paid to contracted providers and (b) staff to provide management and administrative support services to our affiliated physician groups, as further described in the following sections. These services include claims processing, utilization management, contracting, accounting, credentialing, and administrative oversight.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental performance measures of our operations for financial and operational decision-making and are used as a supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, excluding income or loss from equity method investments, non-recurring and non-cash transactions, and stock-based compensation. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA over total revenue.
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Astrana and Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") - Diluted
Our adjusted EPS - diluted is a supplemental performance measure of our operations for financial and operational decision-making and is used as a supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. We define adjusted EPS - diluted as adjusted net income attributable to Astrana over weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - diluted. Adjusted net income attributable to Astrana is calculated as net income, excluding income or loss from equity method investments, non-recurring and non-cash transactions, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, certain tax adjustments, and amounts related to net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests.
Free Cash Flow
Our free cash flow is a supplemental performance measure of our operations for financial and operational decision-making and is used as a supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis and reflects the cash flow trends in our business. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus cash used in purchases of property and equipment.

Care Partners Segment
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $932.8 million, as compared to $631.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $301.4 million. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $42.9 million, as compared to $49.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease in operating income of $6.8 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to our acquisitions within our Care Partners segment, including $252.3 million in revenue from the Prospect acquisition, and members transitioning to full risk through our Restricted Knox-Keene plans. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher claims expense reflecting typical quarterly utilization patterns.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1,842.5 million, as compared to $1,232.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $610.1 million. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $82.3 million, as compared to $93.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease in operating income of $11.6 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to recent acquisitions within our Care Partners segment, including $518.9 million in revenue from the Prospect acquisition, and members transitioning to full risk through our Restricted Knox-Keene plans. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to non-routine allowances recorded against receivables that we plan to recover from the payer and higher claims expense reflecting typical quarterly utilization patterns.
Care Delivery Segment
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $74.7 million, as compared to $38.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $36.3 million. Operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $3.0 million, as compared to operating income of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease in operating income of $5.1 million. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by $36.0 million of revenue from the inclusion of Prospect, as well as increased volume in patient visits and continued investments at our primary, multi-specialty, and ancillary Care Delivery entities. The decrease in operating income was driven by increased costs to support the growth of our Care Delivery business.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $159.8 million, as compared to $71.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $88.0 million. Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $5.9 million, as compared to a loss of $1.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease in operating income of $5.0 million. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by $85.9 million of revenue from the inclusion of Prospect, as well as increased volume in patient visits and continued investments at our primary, multi-specialty, and ancillary Care Delivery entities. The decrease in operating income was driven by increased costs to support the growth of our Care Delivery business.
Care Enablement Segment

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to Astrana, and adjusted EPS - diluted, of which the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") is net income. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains the non-GAAP financial measure free cash flow, of which the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP is net cash provided by operating activities. These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives to, GAAP, and may be calculated differently from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS - diluted, and free cash flow as supplemental performance measures of our operations, for financial and operational decision-making, and as supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis and, for free cash flow, to reflect the cash flow trends in our business. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, excluding income or loss from equity method investments, non-recurring and non-cash transactions, and stock-based compensation. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA over total revenue. Adjusted net income attributable to Astrana is calculated as net income, excluding income or loss from equity method investments, non-recurring and non-cash transactions, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets attributable to acquisitions, certain tax adjustments, and amounts related to net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests. We define adjusted EPS - diluted as adjusted net income attributable to Astrana over weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - diluted. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus cash used in purchases of property and equipment.
We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with relevant and useful information, as it allows investors to evaluate the operating performance of the business activities without having to account for differences recognized because of non-core or non-recurring financial information. When GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among those indicators we use as a basis for evaluating operational performance, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. Other companies may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to Astrana, adjusted EPS - diluted, and free cash flow differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes. To the extent this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains historical or future non-GAAP financial measures, we have provided corresponding GAAP financial measures for comparative purposes. The reconciliations between certain GAAP and non-GAAP measures are provided above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 totaled $400.8 million, as compared to $429.5 million at December 31, 2025. Working capital totaled $171.5 million at June 30, 2026, as compared to $248.0 million at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $76.5 million.
We have historically financed our operations primarily through internally generated funds and borrowings on long-term debt. We generate cash primarily from capitation contracts, risk pool settlements and incentives, fees for medical management services provided to our affiliated physician groups, FFS reimbursements, and other revenues. We generally invest cash in money market accounts, which are classified as cash and cash equivalents. In February 2025, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amended and restated that certain amended credit agreement and provides for a five-year revolving credit facility of $300.0 million (the "Revolver Loan"), a term loan of $250.0 million, and a delayed-draw term loan that was drawn for $707.3 million in July 2025, which we primarily used to refinance certain existing indebtedness and to fund the costs associated with the Prospect acquisition (as combined, the "Term Loans"). We had $258.0 million remaining available under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2026. In addition, we have a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC under which we may issue common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, and other securities that may be offered in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $100.8 million, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $107.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by unfavorable changes in working capital relative to the six months ended June 30, 2025 and partially offset by higher adjusted net income. The change in working capital for the 2026 and 2025 periods included timing of claims payments related to our medical liabilities, timing of payments for provider incentives, and a decrease in cash paid for income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance cost, share-based compensation, non-cash lease expense, deferred tax, change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, and other was $81.9 million, as compared to $56.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $9.1 million, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $7.9 million and payments for business and assets acquisition, net of cash acquired of $3.7 million. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.5 million primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $4.5 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $120.0 million, primarily due to repayments of debt of $103.9 million, repurchase of treasury and subsidiary's shares of $4.4 million, tax payments from net share settlement of restricted stock of $3.8 million, payment of contingent liabilities of $2.9 million, and dividend payments of $0.2 million. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $52.8 million, primarily due to repayments of debt of $431.4 million, payments of deferred financing costs of $17.2 million, dividends paid of $6.2 million, taxes paid from net share settlement of restricted stock of $5.1 million, and other financing activities of $4.9 million consisting of payment of contingent consideration and repurchase of treasury shares, partially offset by borrowings on debt of $412.0 million.

The Revolver Loan and the Term Loans under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement mature on February 26, 2030. See Note 8 - "Credit Facility and Bank Loans" to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I. Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, income, assets, and liabilities reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results and the timing of recognition of such amounts could differ. In addition, judgments, assumptions, and estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which management uses judgment, assumptions, and estimates in applying these policies is therefore integral to understanding our financial statements. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, potentially resulting in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We summarize our most significant accounting policies in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in Note 2 - "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" thereto. Please also refer to the "Critical Accounting Policies" section of Management'su Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2026, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that are, or have been, reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.
