Oscar Health (OSCR) Q3 2025: ~$3.0B Revenue, EPS Beats, 2025 Guidance Reaffirmed; Balance Sheet Simplified via Note Exchange — Nov. 6, 2025

  • Top line: Total Q3 revenue was $2.99B, up ~23% YoY as membership expanded. MLR rose to 88.5% on higher market morbidity and risk‑adjustment accruals. SG&A ratio improved to 17.5% from 19.0%. [1]
  • Earnings vs. estimates:EPS of –$0.53 beat consensus (e.g., Refinitiv/Zacks ranges), while revenue missed expectations; management reaffirmed 2025 guidance. [2]
  • Outlook unchanged: FY25 revenue $12.0–$12.2B, MLR 86–87%, SG&A 17.1–17.6%, and loss from operations –$200M to –$300M. [3]
  • Capital move: On Nov. 5, the company exchanged $187.5M of 7.25% 2031 notes for ~23.27M shares, after entering an exchange agreement that allows up to $250M of notes to be exchanged by Dec. 14, 2025. [4]

What happened in Q3

Oscar Health reported third‑quarter revenue of $2,985,984,000 (in thousands), up from $2,423,482,000 a year ago—about 23% YoY growth, driven largely by higher membership. The medical loss ratio (MLR) increased to 88.5% (from 84.6%), which the company tied to a $130M net risk‑adjustment transfer accrual reflecting higher average market morbidity; this was partly offset by $84M of favorable prior‑period development and $22M favorable intra‑year development. The SG&A expense ratio improved to 17.5% (from 19.0%), reflecting cost discipline and fixed‑cost leverage. [5]

On the bottom line, Oscar posted a net loss of $137.5M (–$0.53/share) versus a $54.6M (–$0.22/share) loss a year ago. Loss from operations was $129.3M (vs. $48.4M), and Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $101.5M. Total membership reached ~2.117M (vs. ~1.654M in Q3 2024), up roughly 28% year‑over‑year. [6]

From a market‑reaction standpoint, third‑party coverage emphasized the EPS beat (e.g., –$0.53 vs. expectations around –$0.55) alongside a revenue miss (consensus ~$3.08–$3.14B). [7]


Guidance: unchanged across key metrics

Management reaffirmed its full‑year 2025 outlook:

  • Total revenue:$12.0B–$12.2B
  • MLR:86.0%–87.0%
  • SG&A ratio:17.1%–17.6%
  • Loss from operations:–$200M to –$300M

This maintained guidance aligns broadly with external expectations (e.g., FactSet revenue near $12.0B). [8]

On today’s call and in the release, leadership reiterated confidence in expanding margins and a return to profitability in 2026, with pricing and geographic expansion cited as contributors. [9]


Balance sheet: convertible notes exchange simplifies capital structure

Beyond operating results, Oscar entered an exchange agreement (Nov. 3) with Oasis FD Holdings, L.P. (“Dragoneer”) permitting up to $250M of its 7.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 to be exchanged by Dec. 14, 2025. On Nov. 5, $187.5M principal was exchanged for 23,273,179 shares of Class A common stock. The company notes this reduces future interest expense and removes certain covenants tied to the 2031 notes; however, it is dilutive to existing equity holders. [10]

(Background: the company also issued $355M of 2.25% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2030 in mid‑September, alongside capped calls; that financing context is relevant to its ongoing capital optimization.) [11]


The market’s read—so far

Early coverage framed the quarter as a mixed printEPS ahead, revenue behind—with the steady guidance and capital moves easing some concerns about funding costs heading into 2026. [12]


Numbers at a glance (Q3 2025)

  • Revenue:$2.99B (+~23% YoY)
  • MLR:88.5% (+3.9 ppts YoY)
  • SG&A ratio:17.5% (–1.5 ppts YoY)
  • Net loss:$137.5M (–$0.53/share)

What to watch next

  • Open Enrollment dynamics: Marketplace enrollment trends and morbidity mix could influence MLR into Q4. [14]
  • Execution on cost discipline: The improved SG&A ratio will be a key proof point as scale builds. [15]
  • Further note exchanges: Whether Dragoneer exchanges the remaining authorization (~$62.5M) under the agreement before Dec. 14, 2025. [16]
  • Path to 2026 profitability: Watch margin cadence and any commentary on risk‑adjustment trends.

Netflix's 10-for-1 stock split aims to broaden access to its shares as it reports a strong 2025 run, with subscriber growth, revenue momentum, and an ad-supported option helping margins.
