Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements relate to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and could materially affect actual results, performance or achievements. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “estimates” or other words or phrases of similar import, including, without limitation: (i) our belief that we remain on track to exit our operations in Puerto Rico by the beginning of 2024 and that exiting this and other markets are designed to position us to focus on and optimize our core Florida Medicare Advantage and ACO REACH assets; (ii) our plans to improve patient engagement, restructure contractual arrangements with payor and specialty networks, and terminate underperforming affiliate partnerships and our expectation that these actions will improve the efficiency and quality of care delivery, ultimately improving health outcomes and our financial performance; (iii) our expectation that our restructuring plan will streamline and simplify the organization to improve efficiency and reduce costs, including our plans to effect workforce reductions, which are expected to reduce our selling, general and administrative costs in future periods compared to current levels and our expectation that these actions will yield approximately $65 million of annualized cost reductions, including direct patient expense reductions and SG&A cost reductions, beginning in the third quarter of 2023 and through the end of 2024 and our expectations as to the timing of paying the restructuring costs; (iv) our expectations regarding our future liquidity and related matters, such as our expectation that we will be required to seek a waiver of the “going concern” covenant from the respective lenders under both of our credit agreements on or before April 22, 2024 and our plans to generate additional liquidity from continued pursuit of our strategic review, which may result in the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s business, as referenced above, and/or the sale of certain lines of business, such as the Company’s Medicaid business in Florida, pharmacy assets and other specialty practices; and (v) our outlook for 2023, including that we expect sequential operating performance improvement in the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by operational improvements, third-party medical cost recoveries, and the favorable impact of seasonality, and our expectation to benefit from the following operational improvements: (a) cost reduction benefits attributable to exiting the Company’s markets in Texas, Nevada, California, New Mexico, and Illinois; (b) restructuring operations to streamline and simplify the organization, improve efficiency and reduce costs; and (c) continued optimization of our operations to improve patient outcomes and lower medical costs by improving payor relations and affiliate partnerships, reducing high-cost emergency room visits, improving our generic dispensing rate, enhancing our arrangements with specialty networks, and strengthening our patient engagement programs; and (vi) our targeting over $100 million in annualized third party medical cost reductions by the end of 2024 through medical cost initiatives and optimization of Medicare Advantage operations. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us at the time of this release and our current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known or unknown factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. It is uncertain whether any of the events anticipated by our forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition. Important risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements include, among others, changes in market or industry conditions, changes in the regulatory environment, competitive conditions, and/or consumer receptivity to our services; changes in our strategy, future operations, prospects and plans; developments and uncertainties related to the Direct Contracting Entity program; our ability to realize expected financial results; our ability to predict and control our medical cost ratio; our ability to maintain our relationships with health plans and other key payors; our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash, including funds to satisfy our liquidity needs; our ability to attract and retain members of management and our Board of Directors; and/or our ability to recruit and retain qualified team members and independent physicians.
