Oak Street Health (OSH) Misses Q4 EPS by 14c, Revenues Beat

Oak Street Health (NYSE: OSH) reported Q4 EPS of ($0.40), $0.14 worse than the analyst estimate of ($0.26). Revenue for the quarter came in at $248.7 million versus the consensus estimate of $231.83 million.

“We are incredibly proud of the impact the Oak Street team made on our patients and communities in 2020 and the accompanied operational and financial results, and we could not be more excited to continue our performance in 2021 and beyond,” said Mike Pykosz, Chief Executive Officer of Oak Street Health. “In 2020, we delivered record revenue of $883 million, representing growth of 59%, despite significant challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We opened a record 28 new centers during the year, including 12 in the fourth quarter, allowing us to bring our outstanding quality of care and patient experience to thousands of new older adults. In addition to our rapid growth, we continued to innovate our care model to meet our patients’ needs during the pandemic, including deploying telehealth capabilities, mobilizing and providing last mile food delivery, offering free COVID-19 testing, and now operating clinics to vaccinate our patients and communities. In what has been the most challenging year in the history of Oak Street Health, our results underscore the power of our model, the ingenuity and agility of our tenacious team, and our commitment to rebuild healthcare as it should be.”

Mr. Pykosz continued, “Our prospects for 2021 are equally appealing. Our center cohort performance continues to improve over time, with newer vintages ramping faster than the already strong center ramps from our earlier vintages. Based on our continued and consistent strong unit economics in 2020, we will accelerate our pace of new centers even further in 2021, with a goal of opening 38-42 additional centers, an increase from the expectations of 25-30 that we communicated following our initial public offering. As our communities continue to reopen, there is a tremendous opportunity to re-energize our community outreach model, which we believe positions us well to deliver a strong year of patient growth. While 2020 was a remarkable year, we are enthusiastic about all that we intend to accomplish in 2021, further enhancing our leading position in the value-based, primary care market.”
