REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Alignment Healthcare, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alignment Healthcare, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes listed in the accompanying Index (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Medical expenses payable – Incurred but not paid claims - Refer to Notes 2 and 7 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
Medical expenses payable includes estimates of obligations for medical care services that have been rendered on behalf of Alignment's members and the members of contracted third party payors, but for which claims have either not yet been received or processed. These estimates are referred to as incurred but not yet paid (IBNP) claim liabilities, which totaled $297.4 million as of December 31, 2025, and includes an estimate for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR). The Company develops estimates for IBNR claim liability by using actuarial methods that requires management judgment in developing its estimates. These actuarial methods consider factors such as 1) historical data for payment patterns, 2) assumptions of cost trends related to the medical cost per member per month, and 3) completion factors to account for the time from date of service to claim receipt.
We identified the estimation of IBNR claim liability as a critical audit matter because of the significant assumptions made by management in estimating the liability. This required complex auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the involvement of actuarial specialists in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s methods, assumptions and judgments in developing the estimate of the IBNR claim liability.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the IBNR claim liability included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the Company’s actuarial process for estimating the IBNR claim liability..
We tested the underlying claims and membership data and other information that served as the basis for the actuarial analysis, to determine the inputs to the actuarial estimate were complete and accurate.
With the assistance of actuarial specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the actuarial methods and assumptions used by management to estimate the IBNR claim liability by:
Performing an overlay of the historical claims data used in management’s actuarial model to the data used in prior periods to determine whether there were material changes to the claims data tested in prior periods.
Performing a retrospective review comparing management’s prior year estimate of the IBNR claim liability to claims processed in 2025 with dates of service in 2024 and prior.
Developing an independent estimate of the IBNR claim liability and comparing our estimate to management’s estimate. Our independent estimate included development of per member per month claims cost trends and completion factors using management’s data, and comparison of these assumptions to current and historical claims trends and current industry benchmarks.
