DALLAS and NEW YORK – May 11, 2021 – Signify Health, Inc. (NYSE: SGFY), a leading healthcare platform that leverages advanced analytics, technology and nationwide healthcare networks to create and power value-based payment programs, today announced the Company’s financial results for the first quarter 2021.

“Strong execution against our strategies and continued positive momentum in our Home & Community Services segment drove significant growth in the first quarter,” said Kyle Armbrester, Chief Executive Officer of Signify Health. "Accelerated customer demand for our comprehensive member evaluations and the investments we have made in people and process to handle the increased demand effectively contributed to in-home evaluation volume growth. We continue to expand our commercial capabilities in the Episodes of Care segment to drive growth with new entrants such as commercial plans and employers.”

Mr. Armbrester continued, “Our two highly complementary businesses are focused on reducing healthcare costs through the deployment of services and value-based payment models backed by sophisticated analytics and software, extensive data, and contracted networks of health care providers. For the balance of 2021 and beyond, we will invest in and leverage the collective services of both segments to drive better patient outcomes and advance our mission to transform how healthcare is paid for and delivered so that people can enjoy more healthy, happy days at home.”

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

  • Total revenue for the first quarter increased 37% to $180.0 million, up from $131.7 million in the same period a year ago. Overall growth in the first quarter 2021 was driven by a 48% increase in Home & Community Services (HCS) segment revenue to $152.4 million. Episodes of Care Services (ECS) segment first quarter revenue declined 3% to $27.6 million compared to a year ago.
  • The strong HCS revenue in the first quarter was due to an increase in in-home evaluations (IHE) volume to approximately 462,000 compared to approximately 303,000 in the first quarter of 2020.
  • ECS first quarter revenue was marginally lower, as expected, due to the impact of COVID-19 on program size.
  • First quarter total net loss was $51.7 million compared to a net loss of $8.9 million for the same period a year ago. Net loss included $56.8 million of other expense related to the remeasurement of the fair value of our Equity Appreciation Rights (EAR), reflecting the Company’s post IPO valuation.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first quarter increased 58% to $34.4 million, compared to $21.9 million for the first quarter 2020, driven primarily by HCS revenue growth.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin1 for the first quarter was 19.1%, a 250 basis point improvement from the comparable year ago period.

2021 Outlook
Signify Health is maintaining 2021 guidance, although based on first quarter results the Company is trending towards the higher end of the range for total revenue and adjusted EBITDA. The following estimates are for the full year 2021 and assume that the COVID-19 situation continues to improve in 2021:

  • Total GAAP revenue in the range of $725 million to $760 million (reduced by approximately $19.7 million relating to the EARs); and
  • Total adjusted EBITDA1 in the range of $150 million to $160 million.

Signify Health is also maintaining estimates for the following key performance indicators for full year 2021:

  • HCS segment IHEs in the range of 1.70 million to 1.75 million;
  • ECS segment weighted average program size in the range of $5.1 billion to $5.3 billion; and
  • ECS segment weighted average savings rate improvement of 25-50 basis points from 2020.

1Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the reconciliation in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” We have not reconciled 2021 guidance for adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and have not provided forward-looking guidance for net income (loss) because of the uncertainty around certain items that may impact net income (loss), including, among others, stock-based compensation and the fair valuation of the EARs, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.
