Q&A highlights

Q: Congratulations on a good start to the year. Can you talk a little bit about the gross profit growth of 44% year-over-year? What was the main driver of that?

A: Yes, this is Rob. A couple of things contributing to this. First off the bat is the onetime rebate that we mentioned that was attributable to a new contract signed with our primary distributor. The second piece is that, as you know, drug pricing changes quarterly. January is a big quarter for drug price changes. It was relatively favorable from what we've seen in previous years. So that, combined with some nice volume increases, particularly on the dispensary side, contributed to the pickup in overall margin.

Q: How much was the rebate for, please?

A: About $1.5 million.

Q: Dan, maybe we can start with the recent report by UnitedHealth. It was reported that the seniors within their Medicare Advantage plan used health care services twice as much as last year. I want to check if you noticed just similar trends within oncology practice or is it related to some other diseases or surgery practice?

A: Yes, I can't speak to what other drivers might be associated with that. What I can say is that we track that on a very close basis for the oncology care needs of the populations we serve and we haven't seen a jump to the amount that United mentioned. I don't know if that's driven by other drugs outside of oncology or other utilization trends which have been more unfavorable than expected.

Q: Bill Sutherland: Most of mine have been asked. But going back to a couple of the key business metrics. The slight decline in the lives under value-based contracts, is that related to that contract you were talking about that went away last year?

A: Yes, exactly. As measured by lives, that is a decrease. But I would just keep in mind that there is a product mix in every contract and that specific contract had a heavy predominance of Medi-Cal and commercial lives which are high numbers but low PMPM reimbursement typically versus our newer markets where we're signing MA-only contracts which are lower lives but higher reimbursement.

Q: Robert LeBoyer: Congratulations on a nice quarter. My question has to do with the number of lives under contract and covered by the managed care policies. The previous number was 1.9 million. It looks like you're adding 100,000 in the first and second quarter and then another 80,000 in Nevada after July 1. So is that just simply additive to the 1.9 million? Or is there some more nuanced way to project the number of lives that are covered?

A: No, it's additive. That's the right way of thinking about it. The nuance in terms of modeling the financial impact would be where those lives are located. And so as we've talked about before in some of our material [ph], there's a higher PMPM for contracts in Nevada and Florida than there is in California due to the overall cost of care.
