Evolent Announces First Quarter 2025 Results

, /PRNewswire/ -- Evolent Health, Inc. (NYSE: EVH) ("Evolent" or the "Company"), a company that specializes in better health outcomes for people with complex conditions through proven solutions that make health care simpler and more affordable, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Seth Blackley, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Evolent stated, "Evolent Health kicked off 2025 with first quarter results at the high end of our expectations, and we are reiterating our outlook for full year 2025 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. We continue to see a very strong selling environment and we achieved significant organic growth with five new revenue agreements announced today. Operationally, we continue scaling our innovative oncology condition management solution to help Evolent further impact specialty care member experience, costs and outcomes. Performance Suite margins, including leading indicators on utilization, and AI-based automation initiatives, like Auth Intel, are both currently tracking favorably. From an innovation perspective we remain focused on improving member and provider experience in specialty care, while continuing to manage affordability for the system – a combination we believe Evolent is uniquely positioned to deliver. In the time ahead we'll remain disciplined in capital allocation, prioritizing cash generation and debt paydown. I am proud of our recent progress and I believe that our strong pipeline, low market penetration, innovative product stack and highly engaged team of 4,500 professionals, positions Evolent to deliver sustained value to our shareholders, partners and members in the short and long term." Highlights from the quarter ended March 31, 2025 include (in thousands, except for average PMPM fees and revenue per case): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Financial Results: Revenue $ 483,649 $ 639,653 Net loss attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. $ (72,250) $ (25,225) Net loss margin (14.9) % (3.9) % Adjusted EBITDA $ 36,860 $ 54,097 Adjusted EBITDA Margin 7.6 % 8.5 % Average Lives on Platform/Cases Performance Suite 6,486 7,050 Specialty Technology and Services Suite 77,079 72,302 Administrative Services 1,213 1,254 Cases 14 15 Average Unique Members 40,628 39,888 Average PMPM Fees/ Revenue per Case Performance Suite $ 15.57 $ 21.19 Specialty Technology and Services Suite 0.36 0.41 Administrative Services 15.72 15.57 Cases 2,947 2,849 The rising medical costs impacting health plans continue to drive robust demand for Evolent's complex specialty care solutions. Evolent announced the following new revenue agreements as follows: Two new health plans are rolling out our surgical management solutions to their commercial lines of business: one is a Blues plan located in the South and one is a large national plan rolling out the solutions initially to two of its large southern states. Expanded the geographic reach of our existing medical oncology Technology & Services solution with one of our national payer clients expected to cover an additional 800,000 Medicare Advantage lives. An existing partner in a southern state will be adding our Technology and Services solution for advanced imaging and cardiac imaging for approximately 100,000 lives in their Medicaid line of business. Expanded our musculoskeletal services to the Medicare Advantage line of business for an existing partner in the northeast, expected to add over 100,000 lives. Financial Results of Evolent Health, Inc. In our earnings releases, prepared remarks, conference calls, slide presentations and webcasts, we may use or discuss financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures as well as reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented herein. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for more information. Reported Results Evolent Health, Inc. reported the following results in accordance with GAAP (in thousands, except for per share data): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Revenue $ 483,649 $ 639,653 Cost of revenue $ 381,178 $ 535,547 Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 78,409 $ 79,104 Net loss attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. $ (72,250) $ (25,225) Net loss margin (14.9) % (3.9) % Loss per share attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc.: Basic and diluted $ (0.63) $ (0.22) Total cash and cash equivalents was $246.5 million as of March 31, 2025. Adjusted Results Evolent Health, Inc. reported the following adjusted results (in thousands, except for per share data): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Adjusted cost of revenue $ 380,521 $ 534,542 Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses $ 66,268 $ 51,014 Adjusted EBITDA $ 36,860 $ 54,097 Adjusted EBITDA margin 7.6 % 8.5 % Adjusted income (loss) attributable to common shareholders $ 7,445 $ 24,144 Adjusted income (loss) per common share attributable to common shareholders: Basic $ 0.06 $ 0.21 Business Outlook The Company does not believe it can meaningfully reconcile guidance for non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. because the Company cannot provide guidance for the more significant reconciling items between net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort. This is due to the fact that future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, and as a result from changes to our business due to transactions and other events. Such items may, from time to time, include loss on repayment/extinguishment of debt; gain (loss) from equity method investees, loss on option exercise, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in tax receivable agreement liability, other income (expense), gain (loss) on disposal of non-strategic assets, right-of-use asset impairments, losses on lease terminations, repositioning costs, stock-based compensation expense, severance costs, dividends and accretion on Series A Preferred Stock and transaction-related costs. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions, judgements, as well as nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains (losses) or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amount of these adjustments is not currently determinable but may be significant. Second Quarter 2025 Guidance For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenue is expected to be in the range of $440.0 million to $470.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $33.0 million to $40.0 million. Full Year 2025 Guidance The Company reiterated its outlook for the full year ending December 31, 2025, with revenue expected to be in the range of approximately $2.06 billion to $2.11 billion, and adjusted EBITDA expected to be in the range of approximately $135.0 million to $165.0 million. Additional Outlook Information The Company reiterated its expectation to deploy approximately $35 million in cash for capitalized software development during 2025. This "Business Outlook" section contains forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations in addition to those set forth above are set forth below in "Forward Looking Statements - Cautionary Language" and Evolent Health, Inc.'s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Contacts: [email protected] Revenue Agreements Evolent reports the number of new revenue agreements signed for Performance Suite, Specialty Technology and Services Suite, Administrative Services and Case-based products. A new revenue agreement includes incremental revenue to the Company reflecting contracts for services to both new partner entities, corporations or health plans as well as additional sales to existing partners. New revenue agreements may include incremental services, geographic, or line of business expansions or a combination thereof. The conversion of Specialty Technology and Services Suite contracts to Performance Suite are also included in this definition. The Company does not count renewals for existing scope, growth of membership within an existing contract scope or transaction-related purchase agreements, if applicable, in this metric. Lives on Platform and Per Member Per Month ("PMPM") Fee Performance Suite Lives on Platform are calculated by summing monthly members covered for specialty care services for contracts not under ASO arrangements, plus members managed by Complex Care in capitation arrangements and divided by the number of months in the period. Specialty Technology and Services Suite Lives on Platform are calculated by summing monthly members covered for oncology, cardiology, musculoskeletal, advanced imaging and other diagnostic specialty care services for contracts under ASO arrangements divided by the number of months in the period. Administrative Services Lives on Platform are calculated by summing monthly members covered for administrative services implementation and core performance services divided by the number of months in the period. Cases are calculated by summing the number of individuals receiving services through our surgery management and advanced care planning programs in a given period. Members covered for more than one category are counted in each category. Performance Suite Average PMPM fee is defined as revenue pertaining to our Performance Suite during the period reported divided by Performance Suite Lives on Platform for the period divided by the number of months in the period. Specialty Technology and Services Suite Average PMPM fee is defined as revenue pertaining to the Specialty Technology and Services Suite during the period reported divided by Specialty Technology and Services Suite Lives on Platform for the period divided by the number of months in the period. Administrative Services Average PMPM fee is defined as revenue pertaining to the Administrative Services during the period reported divided by the Administrative Services Lives on Platform for the period divided by the number of months in the period. Revenue per Case is calculated by the revenue pertaining to surgery management and advanced care planning programs divided by the number of cases for a given period. Average Unique Members are calculated by summing members covered by our Performance Suite, Specialty Technology and Services Suite and Administrative Services. In cases where partners cross between multiple solutions, we only capture members from the solution with the maximum number of members. Management uses Lives on Platform, PMPM fees, Cases, Revenue per Case and Average Unique Members because we believe that they provide insight into the unit economics of our services. We believe that these measures are also useful to investors because they allow further insight into the period over period operational performance.

Repositioning costs are not part of Evolent's normal course of business and are incurred when there is a business reason to enact a repositioning plan. Adjusting for these costs gives a better view of Evolent's normal operating costs. We only adjust costs that (i) are included within selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss), (ii) meet the criteria outlined within the respective repositioning plan; and (iii) do not relate to normal business operations or ongoing activities. Our 2023 Repositioning Plan concluded in the second quarter of 2024. Dedicated employee costs primarily include project management and technology staff costs needed to migrate acquired businesses to Evolent's integrated technology platform and costs related to the consolidation of internal operations, strategies, processes and platforms. 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. Professional services costs primarily relate to services provided by a third-party vendor to review our operating model and organizational design in order to improve our profitability, create value through our solutions and invest in strategic opportunities in future periods. Office space consolidation costs include early termination penalties and associated expenses. Transaction-related costs include but are not limited to, integration consultants, investor outreach services, external valuation and accounting advisory services, legal fees, transaction bonuses paid to certain employees and other transaction-related costs. We adjust these costs because transaction-related costs are expensed when incurred and are not indicative of Evolent's normal operating costs. Purchase accounting adjustments include amortization expense on intangible assets such as corporate trade names, customer, relationships, provider network contracts and existing technology related to acquisitions and business combinations. We believe it is important for the reader to understand that revenue generated from acquisitions is included within revenue in calculating adjusted income to common shareholders however amortization expense from acquired intangible assets is excluded in determining adjusted income to common shareholders because it does not directly relate to the services performed for the Company's customers. In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we present Adjusted Cost of Revenue, Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Adjusted Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted Income (Loss) per Common Share Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are all non-GAAP financial measures, as supplemental measures to help investors evaluate our fundamental operational performance. Adjusted Cost of Revenue and Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses are defined as cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP, respectively, adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expenses, severance costs, transaction-related costs and repositioning costs. Management believes Adjusted Cost of Revenue and Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses are useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our long-term operational costs while removing the effect of costs that are not a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business, and are useful to management as supplemental performance measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, change in the tax receivable agreement liability, gain (loss) from equity method investees, loss on option exercise, change in fair value of contingent consideration, other income (expense), net, loss on lease termination, repositioning costs, stock-based compensation expense, severance costs, dividends and accretion of Series A Preferred Stock and transaction-related costs. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance using tools that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because the removal of adjustments to net loss attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. allows us to focus on operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue. Management believes that this measure is useful to investors because it allows further insight into the period over period operational performance. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA Margin as a supplemental performance measure because it allows the investor to understand operational performance compared to revenues over time. Adjusted Income Attributable to Common Shareholders is defined as net loss attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. adjusted to exclude gain (loss) from equity method investees, loss on option exercise, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in tax receivable agreement liability, purchase accounting adjustments, loss on lease termination, repositioning costs, stock-based compensation expense, severance costs, transaction-related costs and the tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments. Adjusted Income per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders is defined as Adjusted Income Attributable to Common Shareholders divided by Weighted-Average Common Shares, and reflects the adjustments made in those non-GAAP measures. Management believes that Adjusted Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and Adjusted Income per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders are useful to investors because they provide a measure of the Company's net profitability on a more comparable basis to historical periods and provide a more meaningful basis for forecasting future performance. These adjusted measures do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measurements, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of these adjusted measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures is presented in the tables below. We believe these measures are useful across time in evaluating our fundamental core operating performance. Evolent Health, Inc.
