Audio By Carbonatix

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 6, 2025--

Oscar Health, Inc. (“Oscar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OSCR) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and reaffirmed its full year 2025 outlook, across all metrics, as provided in its preliminary financial results press release dated July 22, 2025.

“The individual market is the only source of affordable health coverage for 22 million people who power our economy,” said Mark Bertolini, CEO of Oscar Health. “Our market serves the small business, service, and farming sectors, and can meet the healthcare needs of 100 million more working people. Oscar is shaping the future of individual healthcare with affordable, innovative plans and a superior member experience. Our disciplined pricing and geographic expansion position us to profitably grow market share, and we are confident in our ability to expand margins and return to profitability in 2026.”

Third Quarter 2025 Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

• Total revenue was approximately $3.0 billion for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $2.4 billion for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by higher membership, partially offset by an increase in the net risk adjustment transfer accrual.
• The medical loss ratio was 88.5% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 84.6% for the third quarter of 2024. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in average market morbidity that resulted in a $130 million increase in the net risk adjustment transfer accrual, partially offset by $84 million of favorable prior period development, and $22 million of favorable intra-year development.
• The SG&A expense ratio was 17.5% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 19.0% for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to greater fixed cost leverage, lower exchange fee rates, and disciplined cost management, partially offset by the impact of higher risk adjustment as a percentage of premium.
• Loss from operations was $129.3 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to a loss from operations of $48.4 million for the third 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, partially offset by favorable prior period and intra-year development, and disciplined cost management.
• Net loss attributable to Oscar Health, Inc. was $137.5 million, or $(0.53) of diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2025 compared to Net loss attributable to Oscar Health, Inc. of $54.6 million, or $(0.22) of diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss was $101.5 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2024.

Partial Settlement of 2031 Convertible Senior Notes

On November 3, 2025, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Oasis FD Holdings, L.P. (“Dragoneer”) with respect to the 7.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the agreement, Dragoneer may exchange an aggregate principal amount of approximately $250 million of the Notes by December 14, 2025 for an amount of shares of Class A common stock based on the conversion rate in the applicable indenture and a payment of up to $17.8 million, which we expect to primarily settle in shares.

On November 5, 2025, approximately $187.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes were exchanged for approximately 23.3 million shares of Class A common stock.

The Company believes the transaction reflects its ongoing efforts to opportunistically manage its capital structure, reduce future interest expense, and simplify its balance sheet.

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 (Loss) from Operations

Earnings (loss) from operations is the Company's Total revenue less Total operating expenses. We believe Earnings (loss) from operations is an important primary metric for assessing operating performance.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oscar Health, Inc.

Net income (loss) attributable to Oscar Health, Inc. is Net earnings (loss) allocated to the Company after net income (loss) 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.
