Second Quarter 2025 Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

  • Total revenue was approximately $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $2.2 billion for the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher membership, partially offset by an increase in the net risk adjustment transfer accrual.
  • The medical loss ratio was 91.1% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 79.0% for the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in average market morbidity that resulted in an increase in the net risk adjustment transfer accrual.
  • The SG&A expense ratio was 18.7% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 19.6% for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower exchange fee rates and greater fixed cost leverage, partially offset by the impact of higher risk adjustment as a percentage of premium.
  • Loss from operations was $230.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to a gain from operations of $67.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in average market morbidity that resulted in an increase in the risk adjustment transfer accrual.
  • Net loss attributable to Oscar Health, Inc. was $228.4 million, or $(0.89) of diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to Net income attributable to Oscar Health, Inc. of $56.2 million, or $0.20 of diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss was $199.4 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to positive Adjusted EBITDA of $104.1 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Key Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

We regularly review the following key operating and Non-GAAP financial metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe these operational and financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance, in addition to our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Total Revenue

Total revenue includes Premium revenue (net of risk adjustment transfers), Investment income, and Other revenues. We believe Total revenue is an important metric to assess the growth of our business, as well as the earnings potential of our investment portfolio.

Medical Loss Ratio

Medical Loss Ratio is a metric used to calculate medical expenses as a percentage of net premiums before ceded quota share reinsurance. Medical expense primarily consists of both paid and unpaid medical expenses incurred to provide medical services and products to our members. Medical claims include fee-for-service claims, pharmacy benefits, capitation payments to providers, provider disputed claims and various other medical-related costs. The impact of the federal risk adjustment program is included in the denominator of our MLR. We believe MLR is an important metric to demonstrate the ratio of our costs to pay for healthcare of our members to the net premium before ceded quota share reinsurance. MLR in our existing products are subject to various federal and state minimum requirements.

SG&A Expense Ratio

The SG&A Expense Ratio reflects the Company’s selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage of Total revenue (net of risk adjustment transfers). Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include distribution and servicing costs, premium taxes, exchange fees, and other taxes and fees, employee-related expenses, costs of software and hardware, stock-based compensation, the impact of quota share reinsurance, and other administrative costs. We believe the SG&A Expense ratio is a valuable metric to evaluate our ability to manage our overall selling, general, and administrative cost base.

Earnings from Operations

Earnings from Operations is a new primary metric for assessing operating performance. Earnings from Operations is the Company's Total revenue less Total operating expenses.

Net Income attributable to Oscar Health, Inc.

Net Income attributable to Oscar Health, Inc. is Net earnings allocated to the Company after income attributable to noncontrolling interests. It is a key indicator of the Company’s profitability and operational efficiency, allowing management to evaluate performance and make informed decisions on strategic planning, cost management, and resource allocation.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation and other items that are considered unusual or not representative of underlying trends of our business, where applicable for the period presented. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that investors� understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net income (loss), we believe we are enhancing investors� understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for Net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as indicators of financial performance.
