2022 Outlook

For full year 2022 Bright Health Group is providing the following guidance and commentary:

The Bright HealthCare segment is expected to begin the year with approximately 900,000 members as a result of strong AEP / OEP enrollment with end of year membership between 875,000 and 900,000 as a result of expected in-year attrition. Additionally, Bright HealthCare’s segment Medical Cost Ratio is expected to be between 85.0% and 87.0%.

The NeueHealth segment is expecting approximately $2 billion in Revenue, with approximately one-third coming from external sources. NeueHealth’s growth is primarily driven by an expected increase in value-based patients to approximately 400,000 in 2022.

Notes

⁽¹⁾ A reconciliation of the projected Adjusted EBITDA, which is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. These GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense; transaction costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, contract termination costs; and the tax effect of all such items. Historically, the Company has excluded these items from non-GAAP financial measures. The Company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures and may also exclude other items that may arise (collectively, “non-GAAP adjustments”). The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments, such as a decision to exit part of the business, are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
