DALLAS and NEW YORK – March 24, 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 fourth quarter and full year 2020.

“Signify Health delivered strong results with revenue growth of 22% in an unprecedented year, driven by our success in powering value-based payment programs at scale, as well as the dedication and hard work of our high-performing provider networks and employees," said Kyle Armbrester, Chief Executive Officer of Signify Health. "Our fourth quarter results demonstrated the ability of our networks, data and analytics scale to meet heightened customer demand. At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and in support of our customers and their members, our Home and Community Services (HCS) segment quickly and successfully pivoted from in-home evaluations (IHEs) to rolling out an additional virtual option. In our Episodes of Care Services (ECS) segment, we achieved significant program savings primarily through our ongoing and relentless focus on driving efficiencies among our provider partners. We also continued to drive the next phase of growth into episodic value-based arrangements with commercial plans and employers as new entrants.”

Mr. Armbrester continued, “We believe we have an attractive market opportunity with the ability to drive better patient outcomes. We plan to capture that opportunity by utilizing the proceeds from our recent initial public offering to expand our investment in value-based payment programs and our product portfolio, which will advance our mission to transform how care is paid for and delivered so that people can enjoy more healthy, happy days at home. We are greatly encouraged by the performance of our business model during the pandemic and we believe the COVID-19 vaccine will help to accelerate a return to a more normalized environment, driving our momentum into 2021.” 

The Company presents its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that using additional non-GAAP measures will enhance the evaluation of the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations. Please see Tables 4 and 6 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Certain columns and rows in our tables and financial statements may not sum up due to the use of rounded numbers.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results

• Total revenue for the fourth quarter increased 45% to $193.5 million, up from $133.3 million in the same period a year ago. Overall growth in the fourth quarter 2020 was driven by a 65% increase in HCS segment revenue to $148.8 million. ECS fourth quarter revenue grew 3% to $44.7 million compared to a year ago.
• The strong HCS revenue in the fourth quarter 2020 was due to an overall increase in IHE volume during the year combined with a shift in IHE volume to the latter half of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns in the second quarter. These factors combined to offset the usual seasonality in IHEs, which have historically been lower in the fourth quarter of each year.
• Fourth quarter 2020 ECS revenue increased primarily due to improvements in the savings rate, although the revenue impact was not as significant as in the fourth quarter of the prior year due to the earlier recognition of improvements in the savings rate based on information that became available in the third quarter of 2020 ahead of the fourth quarter reconciliation. In 2019, such information was not available and the reconciliation of actual savings to estimated savings was recorded entirely in the fourth quarter of 2019.
• Fourth quarter 2020 net income was $0.7 million compared to a net loss of $(8.0) million for the same period a year ago. The improvement was driven primarily by the total revenue growth.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the fourth quarter 2020 increased 46% to $38.9 million, compared to $26.6 million for the fourth quarter 2019, driven primarily by revenue growth.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ for the fourth quarter 2020 was 20.2%, a 20 basis point improvement from the comparable year ago period.  

Full Year 2020 Financial Results

• Total 2020 revenue for the year increased 22% to $610.6 million, compared to $501.8 million a year ago. Overall revenue growth in the year was driven by a 20% increase in HCS revenue to $450.6 million and a 28% increase in ECS revenue to $160.0 million. Total revenue in 2020 was reduced by $12.4 million in equity appreciation rights (EARs).
• HCS revenue growth in 2020 was primarily driven by an increase in IHEs performed to 1.4 million, up from 1.1 million in 2019, partially offset by the introduction and mix of virtual IHEs performed during 2020, which have a lower price per evaluation than in-person IHEs. Increases in customer demand throughout 2020 drove IHE growth.
• ECS growth in 2020 was driven by a 200 basis point improvement in the weighted average savings rate to 7.3%, from 5.3% in 2019. The 2020 savings rate was positively impacted by improved partner performance and the exclusion of certain lower performing episodes from reconciliation as part of COVID-19 relief offered by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) for the BPCI-A program. Partially offsetting ECS revenue growth was a 15% decrease in weighted average program size to $5.2 billion, compared to $6.1 billion in 2019. Program size was reduced in 2020 primarily due to the effects of COVID-19, including fewer elective procedures and a general reduction in individuals seeking medical care, as well as CMMI’s COVID-19 relief, which allowed providers to exclude certain episodes.
• Total net loss for 2020 improved to $(14.5) million compared to $(28.5) million in 2019. The improvement was driven by total revenue growth of 22%, partially offset by a 16% increase in total operating expenses.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the year increased 34% to $124.9 million, compared to $93.3 million for 2019 driven by the aforementioned increases in revenue.
• Full year Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ was 20.5%, a 190 basis point improvement from a year ago, driven by revenue growth and efficiencies among our provider partners.

¹Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the reconciliation in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” We have not reconciled 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 stock-based compensation, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP measures.
