(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 September 30, 2026.
Seth Blackley, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Evolent stated, “As health plan customers seek to balance affordability with patient and doctor experience, they continue to turn to Evolent by renewing agreements and in many cases, expanding the work they do with us. That growth and demand from existing clients, as well as strong execution in our 2026 oncology launches, continue to drive strong performance in 2026. Looking ahead, I believe our innovative AI platform and our oncology solution will drive growth and margin expansion for Evolent in the quarters to come.”

Evolent announced one renewal and two new revenue agreements, bringing the year-to-date total to seven:
- First, we renewed our largest Surgical Management customer contract for an additional four years. Surgical Management is the IPG business acquired by Evolent in 2022. We believe this multi-year commitment from a long-standing partner reinforces the value of our model and the strength of our client relationships.
- Second, we are expanding our relationship with an existing client to provide oncology services across several additional states, representing approximately 1 million Commercial lives, with a January 1, 2027 go-live. The agreement also adds Member Navigation across all existing and new lives, broadening the relationship beyond the client's existing solution and demonstrating our opportunity to drive growth through expanded adoption of Evolent's solutions.
- Third, we expanded our relationship with a national payer in Specialty Technology & Services for oncology across 11 additional states.
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 (dollars in thousands, except for per share data):
| For the Three Months Ended September 30, |
|---|
| 2026 | 2025 |
|---|
| Revenue | $725,367 | | $479,533 | |
| Cost of revenue | 636,946 | | 379,759 | |
| Selling, general and administrative expenses | 73,116 | | 77,592 | |

Adjusted Results
Evolent Health, Inc. reported the following adjusted results (dollars in thousands, except for per share data):
| For the Three Months Ended September 30, |
|---|
| 2026 | 2025 |
|---|
| Adjusted cost of revenue | $635,107 | | $378,518 | |
| Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses | $56,003 | | $62,060 | |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $34,257 | | $38,955 | |
| Adjusted EBITDA margin | 4.7% | | 8.1% | |
| Adjusted income attributable to common shareholders | $7,296 | | $5,630 | |
| Adjusted income per share attributable to common shareholders: | | |
| Basic and diluted | $0.06 | | $0.05 | |
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 change in tax receivable agreement liability, other refinancing fees, income (loss) from equity method investees, gain (loss) on repayment/extinguishment of debt, other income (expense), gain (loss) on disposal of non-strategic assets, goodwill impairments, right-of-use asset impairments, gain (loss) on lease terminations, stock-based compensation expense, severance costs and transaction-related costs. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions, judgments, 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.
Full Year 2026 Guidance
Incorporating its year-to-date performance, the Company is reiterating its 2026 revenue guidance range to $2.6 billion to $2.7 billion and raising its Adjusted EBITDA range to $130.0 million to $135.0 million.
Additional Outlook Information
The Company expects to deploy $26 million to $28 million in cash for capitalized expenditures during 2026.
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”).

Definitions
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 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 diagnostics 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 our 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.
Medical Expense Ratio
Medical Expense Ratio (“MER”) is a key performance indicator used by management for purposes of monitoring operating performance and is calculated as GAAP total claims incurred related to our specialty care management services solution divided by GAAP revenue related to our Performance Suite. Management believes MER is useful to investors because it provides insight into the efficiency with which medical costs are managed relative to revenue and helps identify trends in the underlying performance. For periods prior to the consummation of the sale of Evolent Care Partners (“ECP”) in December 2025, we present non-GAAP MER excluding revenues from ECP because it is not indicative of ongoing operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company views the following activities as integral to understanding its non-GAAP financial measures:
- 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders, 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 and transaction-related 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, income from equity method investees, gain on extinguishment of short-term debt, loss on option exercise, extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock and other refinancing fees, change in fair value of contingent consideration, other income (expense), net, gain (loss) on lease termination, 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 income from equity method investees, provision for income taxes, other income (expense), net, gain on extinguishment of short-term debt, loss on option exercise, extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock and other refinancing fees, change in fair value of contingent consideration, purchase accounting adjustments, gain (loss) on lease termination, 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 (Loss) 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 (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders and Adjusted Income (Loss) 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS - CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE
Forward-looking statements notice
Certain statements made in this report and in other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”). A forward-looking statement is a statement that is not a historical fact and, without limitation, includes any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain words like: “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “aim,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “shall,” “may,” “might” and other words or phrases with similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to our ability to weather current dynamics, continue to expand our footprint, future actions, trends in our businesses, prospective services, new partner additions/expansions, our guidance and business outlook and future performance or financial results, the closing of pending transactions and the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings and our intention to deploy up to $50 million toward reducing outstanding indebtedness by the end of the year. We claim the protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the PSLRA.
These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results contained in the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to vary materially, some of which are described within the forward-looking statements, include, among others:

- the increasing number of risk-sharing arrangements we enter into with our partners;
- the growth and success of our partners and certain revenues from our engagements, which are difficult to predict and are subject to factors outside of our control, including governmental funding reductions and other policy changes;
- our ability to accurately predict our exposure under performance-based contracts;
- failure by our customers to provide us with accurate and timely information;

- our ability to estimate the size of our target markets for our services;

- our ability to raise funds necessary to settle conversions of our notes in cash, to repurchase our notes for cash upon a fundamental change or to pay the redemption price for any notes we redeem;
- interest rate risk and other restrictive covenants under our First Lien Credit Agreement and the second lien credit agreement, by and among the Company, Evolent Health LLC, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Ares Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent;

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Our periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC include additional factors that could affect our businesses and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors.
Further, it is not possible to assess the effect of all risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this release.
