Evolent Health, Inc. (EVH)

INTRODUCTION

Business Overview

We are a market leader in connecting care for people with complex conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and musculoskeletal diagnoses. We work on behalf of health plans and other risk-bearing entities and payers (our customers) to support physicians and other healthcare providers (our users) in providing high quality evidence-based care to their patients. We believe adherence to evidence-based clinical pathways supports better outcomes for patients, a better experience for physicians, and lower costs for the healthcare system overall.

Specialty care represents a significant and fast-growing portion of healthcare costs in the United States, driven in part by the pace of development of new therapies and treatments. To manage these increasing costs, some health plans and other risk-bearing entities historically deployed cost containment strategies that can limit access to care and operate in narrow silos (for example, prior authorization for radiological studies being considered independently from a comprehensive chemotherapy regimen). We believe Evolent can bring an integrated approach to a patient’s condition across multiple specialties, using technology to recommend our evidence-based clinical pathways in a way that provides rapid feedback to the provider, seeks to remove barriers to care, and aligns financial incentives with the best evidence.

We were an early innovator in value-based care, founded in 2011 by members of our management team, UPMC, an integrated delivery system based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and The Advisory Board Company.

All of our revenue is recognized in the United States and substantially all of our long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Recent Events

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 trends experienced by our customers across all lines of business, which has led those customers to exit markets, adjust their benefits and take other actions that are likely to contribute to lower membership. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, our customers reported membership declines in Medicaid and Health Exchanges consistent with our expectations. We anticipate exchange membership attrition to continue through the end of the year, though at a decreasing pace.

We are unable to predict how these broader dynamics will impact our business and results of operations in the future, but they could continue to impact our financial condition and results of operations and such future impacts could be material.

Impact of Inflation

We experience pricing pressures in the form of competitive prices in addition to rising costs for certain inflation-sensitive operating expenses such as labor, employee benefits and facility leases. We do not believe these impacts were material to our revenues or net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. However, significant sustained inflation driven by the macroeconomic environment or other factors could negatively impact our margins, profitability and results of operations in future periods.

Segment Reporting

We have one operating segment and one reportable segment as our CODM, who is our Chief Executive Officer, assesses the performance of our operations, develops strategy and reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain GAAP policies that significantly affect the determination of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, are summarized below. See “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2” in our 2025 Form 10-K for a complete summary of our significant accounting policies.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

We recognize the excess of the purchase price plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed at least annually for indications of impairment, with consideration given to financial performance and other relevant factors. We perform impairment tests of goodwill at a reporting unit level. We perform impairment tests between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that we believe would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Our goodwill impairment analysis first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances existed that would lead the Company to conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is below its carrying amount. Qualitative factors include macroeconomic, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, industry, legal and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. Additionally, as part of this assessment, we may perform a quantitative analysis to support the qualitative factors above by applying sensitivities to assumptions and inputs used in measuring our reporting unit’s fair value.

If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is below the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill assessment is required. In the quantitative evaluation, the fair value is determined and compared to the carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, then the carrying value is deemed to be recoverable and no further action is required. If the fair value estimate is less than the carrying value, goodwill is considered impaired for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value and a charge is reported in goodwill impairment on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We use a discounted cash flow analysis in order to estimate the fair value of our reporting unit. The discounted cash flow analysis relies on significant judgment and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates and operating margins. These assumptions are based on estimates of future revenue and earnings after considering such factors as general economic and market conditions which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The weighted average cost of capital is based on market-based factors/inputs but also considers the specific risk characteristics of the reporting unit’s cash flow forecast. A significant change to these estimates and assumptions could cause the estimated fair values of our reporting unit and intangible assets to decline and increase the risk of an impairment charge to earnings. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

See “Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 8” in this Form 10-Q for more information related to the 2025 goodwill impairment test. As of June 30, 2026, Evolent assessed whether there were events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its goodwill below its carrying amount and require an interim impairment test. The Company determined there had been no such indicators. Therefore, it was unnecessary to perform a goodwill impairment assessment as of June 30, 2026.

Key Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue contracts are typically multi-year arrangements with customers to provide solutions designed to lower the medical expenses of our partners and include our total cost of care management and specialty care management services solutions, provide comprehensive health plan operations and claims processing services, and also include transition or run-out services to customers.

Our performance obligation in these arrangements is to provide an integrated suite of services, including access to our platform that is customized to meet the specialized needs of our partners and providers. Generally, we will apply the series guidance to the performance obligation as we have determined that each time increment is distinct. We primarily utilize a variable fee structure for these services that typically includes a monthly payment that is calculated based on a specified per member per month rate, multiplied by the number of members that our partners are managing under a value-based care arrangement or a percentage of plan premiums. Our arrangements may also include other variable fees related to service level agreements, shared medical savings arrangements and other performance measures. Variable consideration is estimated using the most likely amount based on our historical experience and best judgment at the time.

We also deploy our services in capitation arrangements under our specialty care management solution, which we call the “Performance Suite.” Capitation arrangements under the Performance Suite may include performance-based arrangements and/or gainshare features. We occasionally use third parties to assist in satisfying our performance obligations. In order to determine whether we are the principal or agent in the arrangement, we review each third-party relationship on a contract-by- contract basis. As we integrate goods and services provided by third parties into our overall service, we control the services provided to the customer prior to its delivery. As such, we are the principal and we will recognize revenue on a gross basis. In certain cases, we act as an agent and do not control the services from third parties before it is delivered to the customer, thereby recognizing revenue on a net basis.

Due to the nature of our arrangements, certain estimates may be constrained if it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved. We recognize revenue from services over time using the time elapsed output method. Fixed consideration is recognized ratably over the co

Recent Events

Transactions

The Company has undertaken several transactions, some of which may impact year-to-year comparisons. The following is a discussion of certain of those transactions.

Disposal

During the third quarter, the Company entered into the ECP Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Evolent Care Partners for a purchase price of $100.0 million, subject to customary closing purchase price adjustments, and a contingent payment of up to $13.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain metrics following the closing. The Company consummated the transaction on December 5, 2025. The Company previously recorded its operations from Evolent Care Partners in its total cost of care management solution.

The Company determined that the transaction met the held for sale criteria and ceased recording amortization of provider network contract intangibles at that time. 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. Refer to “Part II - Item 8. 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 August 21, 2025, using proceeds from the sale of the 2031 Notes plus available liquidity, the Company repurchased approximately $167.4 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Notes for $166.8 million in cash in note repurchases entered into concurrently with the pricing of the sale of the 2031 Notes. The Company also repurchased $40.0 million of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock concurrently with the sale of the 2031 Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the Purchasers or its affiliate at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on August 18, 2025.

Credit Agreement Activity

On December 6, 2024 (the “Amendment No. 3 Effective Date”), the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to its credit agreement, by and among the Company, the Borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as co-borrowers and guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares”) (as amended, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) that provided new secured debt financing in the form of (i) additional commitments under the Company’s existing asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $50.0 million (the “2024 Revolver Increase”, and together with the initial asset-based revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million obtained by the Company in 2022 (the “Initial Revolving Facility”) and the additional commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $25.0 million obtained by the Company in 2023, the “Revolving Facility”), (ii) a new delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $125.0 million (the “2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) a new delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $75.0 million (the “2024-B Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility” and together with the 2024 Revolver Increase and the 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the “2024 Incremental Facilities”; the initial term loan facility obtained by the Company in 2022 under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the additional term loans entered into by the Company in 2023, the 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and the 2024-B Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, as amended, are collectively

43

referred to herein as the “Term Loan Facility”; the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility are collectively referred to herein as the “First Lien Credit Facilities”).

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.

Refer to “Part II - Item 8. 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. To determine the implied fair value for our single reporting unit, we used a discounted cash flow valuation approach (“income approach”). In determining the estimated fair value using the income approach, we projected future cash flows based on management’s estimates and long-term plans and applied a discount rate based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. 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 determin
