Strong Revenue Growth: Astrana Health reported Q3 revenue of $956 million, up 100% year-over-year and 46% sequentially, driven by the Prospect Health acquisition and organic growth.
Profitability: Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $68.5 million, up 52% year-over-year and 42% sequentially, reflecting strong margins amid rapid scaling.
Guidance Update: 2025 full-year revenue guidance was lowered to $3.1–3.18 billion (from higher prior expectations) and adjusted EBITDA to $200–210 million, due to timing delays in full risk contract transitions, not core business weakness.
Full Risk Contract Delay: Several payer contracts will shift from partial risk to full risk in Q1 2026 instead of mid-2025, impacting 2025 results but expected to add to 2026 growth.
Stable Cost Trends: Medical cost trends remained well-controlled, with a blended trend just under 4.5%. Medicare trended below expectations and Medicaid trends improved versus Q2.
Prospect Integration: Integration of Prospect Health is progressing well, with synergy targets of $12–15 million reiterated and early signs of improved performance.
AI & Tech Investments: Astrana continues to deploy AI across its platform, driving efficiencies in care management, claims analytics, and documentation, and expects these to expand operating leverage.
New Partnerships: Expanded strategic partnership with Intermountain Health in Nevada and signed a new provider group in Southern California covering 40,000 members.
