First Quarter 2025 Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

  • Total revenue was approximately $3.0 billion for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 42% year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to higher membership.

  • The medical loss ratio was 75.4% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 74.2% for the first quarter of 2024. The company had $31 million unfavorable earnings impact from prior period development in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $9 million favorable earnings impact in the first quarter of 2024. The prior period development in the first quarter of 2025 was driven by an increase to our 2024 Risk Adjustment payable, partially offset by favorable claims runout related to the prior year period and an ACA Marketplace cost sharing reduction recovery accrual related to prior years.

  • The SG&A expense ratio was 15.8% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 18.4% for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by fixed cost leverage, lower exchange fee rates, and variable cost efficiencies.

  • Earnings from operations was $297.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $185.6 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase reflects strong operating performance driven primarily by higher membership, fixed cost leverage, and variable cost efficiencies.

  • Net income attributable to Oscar Health, Inc. was $275.3 million, or $0.92 of diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $177.4 million, or $0.62 of diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2024.
