Alignment Healthcare Delivers 44% Year-Over-Year Membership Growth Following Significant Boost from AEP, Increasing Membership to 155,500

ORANGE, Calif., Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alignment Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALHC), today announced that its Alignment Health Plan membership has increased by 44% to a total of approximately 155,500 members as of Jan. 1, following a successful Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), as compared to its membership as of Jan. 1, 2023.

“Alignment’s purpose-built Medicare Advantage (MA) platform gives us the visibility and control to serve seniors the right way,” said John Kao, founder and CEO of Alignment Healthcare. “This visibility and control have helped us improve stars, effectively manage care and create competitively advantaged products that led to the exceptional growth we achieved. Companies that prioritize happy and healthy members can indeed do well by doing good, and Alignment is proof of that.”

Additionally, the company expects to have 162,000 to 164,000 members by the end of 2024, based on its expectations for continued membership growth during the year.

With its strong membership growth, the company is reaffirming its expectation to achieve adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) breakeven in 2024.

“Our conviction to be adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2024 is strengthened by Alignment’s product strategy, expected positive gross profit contributions from new membership, continued operating leverage and ongoing cohort improvement,” said Kao. “Furthermore, we believe we will have continued competitive tailwinds that bolster our outlook for 2025.”

Since going public in 2021, Alignment has displayed a disciplined approach to its business with 11 straight quarters of strong business results, having met or exceeded guidance across key financial metrics. Additional achievements for Alignment include earning 4- out of 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for 2024 in its California HMO, marking its seventh consecutive year as a 4-star or greater plan, being named a 2024 Best Insurance Company for MA in North Carolina by U.S. News & World Report for the second consecutive year (one of only three MA plans in the state to earn the U.S. News “Best” rankings badge) and attaining an impressive 4.9-star rating on Google.

“Our growth and accomplishments reflect that this is our breakout year and highlight how Alignment is the gold standard for MA done right,” continued Kao. “As we continue to expand, we will remain focused on delivering high-quality service and outcomes at a low cost and are poised to take advantage of competitive tailwinds.”

In 2024, Alignment expanded its service to Merced County, California, bringing its gold standard of MA to more seniors with a total reach of 8.5 million Medicare-eligible adults in 53 markets across Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina and Texas.1 Additionally, the company has signed new agreements with Instacart and Walgreens to offer more coverage and convenience for seniors in select markets.
