No financial data is public or specifically available for American Progressive but the umbrella corporation Universal American has listed a net income of $21 million during the second quarter of 2010. For the evaluation of its business operations, Universal American uses a system of adjusted net income that excludes the declaration of the following items: investment losses, special items, non-recurring tax benefit and goodwill impairment. The company believes that non-declaration of these details does not affect the core business of the company and provides a more useful tool for evaluating the performance of the company from quarter to quarter. Financial results show that the parent company and its subsidiaries, American Progressive included, have increased revenues by 17 percent, up to $ 1.5 billion from posted revenue of $1.2 billion for the same period in 2009.
