Privia Health Group raised its full-year 2026 outlook on November 5 after reporting stronger third-quarter results and announcing an expansion of its value-based care network. The company said in its official release that revenue rose 13.2 percent year over year to USD 657.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Results support higher 2026 targets
Operating income increased 42.6 percent to USD 20.5 million, while net income attributable to Privia Health reached USD 13.5 million, compared with USD 6.9 million a year earlier. Adjusted net income per diluted share rose to USD 0.21 from USD 0.19. The company said net income included USD 14.0 million in non-cash stock compensation expense, making the adjusted figures relevant when assessing operating performance.
For the first nine months, revenue rose 19.7 percent to USD 1.89 billion and net income increased 85.9 percent to USD 25.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA advanced 21.9 percent to USD 114.7 million, equal to 28.8 percent of care margin.
Acquisition expands Medicare reach
Privia agreed to acquire American Choice Healthcare MSSP, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cano Health, for approximately USD 36 million in cash. The accountable care organization is expected to serve more than 36,000 attributed lives in the Medicare Shared Savings Program beginning January 1, 2027. The transaction adds lives in three new states and expands Privia's presence in ten existing states.
Privia said the acquisition should have minimal impact on 2026 results but contribute positively to attributed lives and adjusted EBITDA in 2027. The company also agreed to end its Montana partnership with Surgery Partners in January 2027, covering 69 providers and approximately USD 23 million in annual practice collections.
