Alignment Healthcare (NASDAQ: ALHC), a tech-enabled Medicare Advantage company, marked one year of being publicly listed. With the popular growth of Medicare Advantage, Alignment is emerging as an innovator, continuing to scale its care delivery model with its proprietary AVA® technology, programs tailored to members’ needs and value of treating every member like family. Alignment’s first trading day was March 26, 2021.
“Over the past year, we’ve continued to set ourselves apart with our proven ability to improve care while lowering costs,” said John Kao, founder and CEO, Alignment Healthcare. “We’ve grown into new markets and deliver products that are responsive and highly relevant to the changing needs of our seniors. We continued to invest in innovative platforms that scale our impact to our members while sustaining our strong business results.”
The one-year milestone builds upon a successful 2021, both financially and operationally, in the public markets. Compared to 2020, Alignment’s full-year total revenue was $1.17 billion, a 21.7 percent jump year-over-year. This was led by its health plan premium revenue of $1.12 billion, an increase of 28.4 percent year-over-year.
“Our business results reflect that we can do well by doing good, and we’re committed to continuing our path of sustainable growth for the long term,” Kao said.
