  • The Company received cash proceeds of $ 91.3 million after net working capital adjustments.
  • The carrying value of net assets and liabilities of $ 76.4 million, inclusive of allocated goodwill, was disposed resulting in a gain on disposal of $ 14.9 million recorded in (gain) loss on disposal of non-strategic assets for the year ended December 31, 2025.
  • The Company allocated $ 44.8 million of goodwill to the transaction based on the value of the transaction compared to the estimated business enterprise value on the closing date.
  • Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 4” for additional discussion regarding our disposal. 2031 Notes Issuance, 2025 Notes Repayment and Common Stock Repurchase On August 18, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to sell $145.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2031 Notes in a private placement to the Purchasers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
  • The Company granted the Purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $ 21.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes, which the Purchasers exercised in full on August 19, 2025.
  • The closing of the 2031 Notes occurred on August 21, 2025 and a total of $166.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes were issued at an issue price of 100.00% of par for net proceeds of approximately $161.0 million, after deducting fees and estimated expenses.

  • On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the First Lien Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) to modify the definition of “Maturity Date.” On June 19, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the First Lien Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 5”) (which superseded Amendment No. 4) to (i) include amounts committed under a new Incremental Facility for purposes of testing “Liquidity” under the definition of “Maturity Date,” (ii) provide that failure to consummate the Exchange in certain circumstances would constitute an event of default, (iii) include certain transactions to the mandatory prepayment requirement, and (iv) provide additional flexibility to make certain restricted payments in respect of the 2025 Notes prior to maturity thereof.
  • On June 19, 2025, in connection with the Company’s entry into Amendment No. 5, the Company and the Borrower entered into a Commitment Letter with Ares which provided the Company additional available non-dilutive debt capital of up to $ 150.0 million (the “Incremental Facility”) to retire its 2025 Notes on or before October 15, 2025 (the maturity date of the 2025 Notes) and for working capital and required that the Company would, in the event the Incremental Facility is drawn and in certain other circumstances, exchange its existing Series A Preferred Stock for a second lien term loan facility (the “Second Lien Term Loan Facility” and, together with the First Lien Credit Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”) in the amount of the Liquidation Preference of the Series A Preferred Stock ($ 175.0 million) (the “Exchange”).
  • On August 7, 2025, the Company completed the Exchange.
  • The Company paid $ 9.3 million of deferred financing costs, of which $ 3.3 million was related to amending the existing 2024 Incremental Facilities.
  • The Company did not draw on the Incremental Facility due to the retirement of the 2025 Notes.
  • As such, we recorded a $ 6.0 million loss related to the Incremental Facility in extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock and other refinancing fees on the consolidated statement of operations.
  • On December 31, 2025, the Company repaid $ 82.8 million under its 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility using proceeds from its sale of Evolent Care Partners.
  • As a result of the repayment on the 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the Company recorded a loss of $ 3.9 million in loss on extinguishment and repayment of debt, net, comprised of $ 0.8 million of contractual prepayment penalty in accordance with the Credit Agreement and $ 3.1 million of acceleration of amortization of deferred financing fees.
  • As of December 31, 2025, there was $ 117.2 million, $ 72.5 million and $ 175.0 million principal balance subject to interest under the Company’s Term Loan Facility, Revolving Facility and Second Lien Term Loan Facility, respectively.
  • Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 9” for additional discussion regarding our Credit Agreement.
  • Goodwill Impairment Subsequent to our 2024 goodwill impairment test through the end of 2025, the closing price per share of our Class A common stock declined from $23.35 per common share on October 31, 2024 to $6.67 at October 31, 2025.
  • As a result of the prolonged decline in our stock price, the Company elected to forego the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment of the goodwill impairment test for our sole reporting unit.
  • This analysis required us to make judgments about revenues, expenses, fixed asset and working capital requirements, capital market assumptions and cash flows, as well as discount rates to reconcile to our market capitalization.
  • As a result of the decrease in our Class A common stock since our 2024 goodwill impairment test, the market capitalization reconciliation indicated that the carrying amount of our reporting unit exceeded its fair value.
  • Therefore, the Company recorded a $ 398.0 million non-cash and non-tax-deductible impairment charge, reflected within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operation for the year ended December 31, 2025.
  • We monitor for events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our goodwill below its carrying amount and require an additional impairment test.
  • If we determine there are circumstances that may be indicators of potential impairment triggers, including further decreases in the share price of our Class A common stock, we may be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment test which could result in additional impairment charges which could be material to our results of operations.
  • Industry Climate During 2024, the medical claims costs in our Performance Suite grew at a significantly faster rate than historical norms, negatively impacting our financial results.
  • This growth was driven in part by higher disease prevalence, as well as higher cost per active patient.
  • Based on commentary from other market participants, we believe these cost increases were industry-wide and not specific to Evolent.
  • Our results for 2025 were also impacted by growth in medical claims cost that continued to grow faster than our historical averages.
  • Changes in Medicaid, and the ACA Health Exchanges, including but not limited to those caused by the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act during 2025, created industry expectations for higher member acuity and lower membership in future years.
  • These expectations are exacerbated by the aggregate medical trend experienced by our customers across all lines of business, which has lead those customers to exit markets, adjust their benefits and take other actions that are likely to contribute to lower membership in the future.
  • Regulatory Uncertainty and Changes On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law.
  • The OBBBA amends U.S. tax law, including provisions related to research and development and interest expense.
  • The OBBBA also makes significant changes to the Medicaid, Medicare and ACA Health Exchanges.

  • Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 9” for additional discussion regarding the 2029 Notes.
  • Industry Climate Our results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 were impacted by higher-than-expected medical costs in our specialty Performance Suite business versus our previous expectations.
  • This included two key components: • Some of our partners submitted new claims data to us that we received and processed during the second half of 2024.
  • These data files included higher expenses for claims paid during the first two quarters of 2024 than what these partners had previously submitted to us. • The second half of 2024 saw an increase in specialty pharmacy costs industry-wide, particularly in oncology.
  • We believe high medical cost inflation in the second half of 2024 in our Performance Suite was driven by a confluence of factors, including significant increases in disease prevalence, Medicaid redetermination-based adverse selection, rapid increases in unit costs, post-COVID acuity increases and provider coding intensity.
  • We do not believe these impacts were material to our revenues or net income during the year ended December 31, 2024.
  • Customers The following table summarizes those partners who represented at least 10.0% of our consolidated revenue: For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Cook County Health and Hospitals System 11.5% 15.7% 22.4% Florida Blue Medicare, Inc. 12.9% 10.4% 11.5% Humana Insurance Company 19.3% 12.0% * Molina Healthcare, Inc. 13.7% 13.5% * ———————— * Represents less than 10.0% of the respective balance.
  • Repositioning Costs During the second quarter of 2023, the Company implemented a broad set of repositioning initiatives designed to further align the Company’s assets and talent towards the value-based specialty care opportunity, with the intent of streamlining its operations and supporting the goal of realizing long-term sustainable earnings growth (the “2023 Repositioning Plan”).
  • Dedicated employee costs are limited to employees that will have no role in ongoing operations and have no planned role at Evolent once the repositioning activities are completed.
  • The following table provides a summary of our total costs associated with our repositioning plans for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, by major type of cost (in thousands): For the Year Ended December 31, Cumulative Amount Incurred Through December 31, 2024 2024 2023 Severance and termination benefits $ 1,835 $ 8,564 $ 10,399 Dedicated employee costs 1,185 6,900 8,085 Professional services 4,128 12,910 17,038 Office space consolidation 3,452 6,862 10,314 Total $ 10,600 $ 35,236 $ 45,836 Segment Update The Company made organizational changes, including re-evaluating its reportable segments, as a result of growth in our value-based specialty care business, both organically and through acquisitions.
  • Effective during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company changed its reportable segments to reflect changes in the way its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates the performance of its operations, develops strategy and allocates capital resources.

  • The discounted cash flow analysis relies on significant judgement and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates and operating margins.
  • Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 8” in this Form 10-K for more information related to the 2024 goodwill impairment test.
