SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Health Catalyst, Inc. (“Health Catalyst,” Nasdaq: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. “For the second quarter of 2025, I am pleased by our strong financial results, including total revenue of $80.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $9.3 million, with these results beating our quarterly guidance on each metric.” said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. “I also want to share my plan to retire from the CEO role at Health Catalyst effective June 30, 2026. By then, I will have been leading Health Catalyst full-time for 15 years. It has been the highlight of my career to serve in this role, in a company filled with teammates I love, in service of a mission that I believe in, in support of clients who are so deeply committed to that same mission, and with the backing of our shareholders, past and present, who have enabled us to pursue this mission to make healthcare measurably better. For many years, my wife, Sarah, and I have planned to pursue mission-oriented service opportunities associated with our faith, and we look forward to having more time to devote to this service after I complete my tenure as CEO. I will support the Board in its CEO search process and will continue to serve on the Board. Likewise, during this transitionary period, I remain deeply committed to strong execution, every day, in support of accomplishing our company’s goals and objectives, including driving client and shareholder value.” Jack Kane, Chairman of the Health Catalyst Board of Directors, added “We as a Board would like to thank Dan for his many years of outstanding service to the company in the role of CEO. We fully support Dan in pursuing these opportunities and we appreciate the time he is giving us as a Board to manage an effective and orderly transition. We are grateful Dan will continue to serve on the Board. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct a CEO search to identify an effective, world-class CEO to lead Health Catalyst in its next chapter.” Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Key Financial Metrics  Three Months Ended June 30, Year over Year    2025   2024   ChangeGAAP Financial Measures:(in thousands, except percentages, unaudited)Total revenue$80,721  $75,902  6%Gross profit$30,333  $28,806  5%Gross margin 38%  38%  Net loss$(40,978) $(13,516) (203)%Non-GAAP Financial Measures:(1)     Adjusted Gross Profit$39,964  $37,803  6%Adjusted Gross Margin 50%  50%  Adjusted EBITDA$9,344  $7,522  24% ________________________(1) These measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). See the accompanying "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for more information about these financial measures, including the limitations of such measures, and for a reconciliation of each measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Financial Outlook Health Catalyst provides forward-looking guidance on total revenue, a GAAP measure, and Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure. For the third quarter of 2025, we expect: Total revenue of approximately $75 million, andAdjusted EBITDA of approximately $10.5 million For the full year of 2025, we expect: Total revenue of approximately $310 million, andAdjusted EBITDA of approximately $41 million We have not provided forward-looking guidance for net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA, and therefore have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, because there are items that may impact net loss, including stock-based compensation, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably forecasted.

supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share, basic and diluted, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense because it is non-cash in nature and excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations, as a component in determining employee bonus compensation, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin Gross profit is a GAAP financial measure that is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue, including depreciation and amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology. We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by our revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as gross profit, adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, net, and (iv) restructuring costs, as applicable. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as our Adjusted Gross Profit divided by our revenue. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors as they eliminate the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of these measures between periods without the impact of non-cash expenses and certain other non-recurring operating expenses. We present both of these measures for our technology and professional services business. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as these metrics generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall profitability. The following is a calculation of our gross profit and gross margin and a reconciliation of gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, to our Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin in total and for technology and professional services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.  Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 (in thousands, except percentages) Technology Professional Services TotalRevenue$52,876  $27,845  $80,721 Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization (18,352)  (24,128)  (42,480)Amortization of intangible assets, cost of revenue (4,857)  —   (4,857)Depreciation of property and equipment, cost of revenue (3,051)  —   (3,051)Gross profit 26,616   3,717   30,333 Gross margin 50%  13%  38%Add:     Amortization of intangible assets, cost of revenue 4,857   —   4,857 Depreciation of property and equipment, cost of revenue 3,051   —   3,051 Stock-based compensation 295   1,194   1,489 Acquisition-related costs, net(1) 33   56   89 Restructuring costs(2) —   145   145 Adjusted Gross Profit$34,852  $5,112  $39,964 Adjusted Gross Margin 66%  18%  50% ___________________(1)   Acquisition-related costs, net include deferred retention expenses attributable to the Upfront, Intraprise, ARMUS, and KPI Ninja acquisitions.(2)   Restructuring costs include severance and other team member costs from workforce reductions.

Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) interest and other (income) expense, net, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) acquisition-related costs, net, (vi) restructuring costs, (vii) goodwill impairment, and (viii) non-recurring lease-related charges. We view acquisition-related expenses when applicable, such as transaction costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities that are directly related to business combinations, as costs that are unpredictable, dependent upon factors outside of our control, and are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. We believe that excluding restructuring costs, goodwill impairment, and non-recurring lease-related charges, as applicable, allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as these are separate from the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and are not part of our ongoing operations. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and a comparison with our past financial performance, and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of our net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:  Three Months EndedJune 30,  2025   2024  (in thousands)Net loss$(40,978) $(13,516)Add:   Interest and other (income) expense, net 3,803   (2,361)Income tax provision 81   70 Depreciation and amortization 12,684   10,657 Stock-based compensation 8,323   8,966 Acquisition-related costs, net(1) (3,720)  3,431 Restructuring costs(2) 382   275 Goodwill impairment(3) 28,769   — Adjusted EBITDA$9,344  $7,522  __________________(1)   Acquisition-related costs, net include third-party fees associated with due diligence, deferred retention expenses, post-acquisition restructuring costs incurred as part of business combinations, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities for potential earn-out payments.(2)   Restructuring costs include severance and other team member costs from workforce reductions. For additional details, refer to Note 19 in our condensed consolidated financial statements.(3)   Goodwill impairment was recognized as a result of impairment indicators and a quantitative test indicating the fair values of the Technology and the Professional Services reporting units were below their respective carrying values as of June 30, 2025. For additional details, refer to Note 4 in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) restructuring costs, (iv) acquisition-related costs, net, including the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, (v) goodwill impairment, and (vi) non-cash interest expense related to debt facilities. We believe Adjusted Net Income provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of our net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted Net Income, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:  Three Months EndedJune 30, 2025 2024Numerator:(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Net loss$(40,978) $(13,516)Add:   Stock-based compensation 8,323   8,966 Amortization of acquired intangibles 9,047   7,535 Restructuring costs(1) 382   275 Acquisition-related costs, net(2) (3,720)  3,431 Goodwill impairment(3) 28,769   — Non-cash interest expense related to debt facilities 881   380 Adjusted Net Income$2,704  $7,071 Denominator:   Weighted-average shares outstanding used in calculating net loss per share, basic and diluted, and Adjusted Net Income per share, basic 69,625,540   59,303,791 Non-GAAP dilutive effect of stock-based awards 164,532   165,226 Non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding used in calculating Adjusted Net Income per share, diluted 69,790,072   59,469,017     Net loss per share, basic and diluted$(0.59) $(0.23)Adjusted Net Income per share, basic and diluted$0.04  $0.12  ______________(1)   Restructuring costs include severance and other team member costs from workforce reductions.
