WASHINGTON (May 9, 2024) - Evolent Health, Inc. (NYSE EVH), 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 quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Seth Blackley, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Evolent stated, We are pleased with our first quarter results and the solid momentum in the business as we raise our revenue guide for the year, and reiterate our full year Adjusted EBITDA and year-end exit run-rate Adjusted EBITDA guidance. We also achieved an important operational milestone in ending our transition services agreement for NIA, which marks the end of a successful acquisition integration. Further, we are excited to announce today the acceleration of our patient navigation capabilities through an exclusive partnership with Careology. Finally, we are excited about our initial work on accelerating our artificial intelligence capabilities and the value we believe it will have for Evolent and our partners in the near future."

Mr. Blackley continued, The current environment for health plans remains challenging on multiple fronts driving particularly high interest in managing specialty costs. Building on the year-over-year growth of over 60 percent for our specialty care revenue, I am confident that the Evolent specialty platform and team are well positioned to help health plans addresses these challenges and, as a result, drive Evolent shareholder value.

Highlights from the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 announcement include (in thousands)

Evolent highlighted the following three new revenue agreements, as defined below

New Performance Suite arrangements with Molina, to provide oncology and cardiology specialty care services for Medicaid and Health Insurance Marketplace members in South Carolina and Mississippi.

A specialty technology and services contract with a long standing Evolent Medicaid health plan on the east coast. This health plan will be adding our MSK specialty offering to help manage orthopedic surgery costs, utilization, and outcomes.

Financial Results of Evolent Health, Inc.

In our earnings releases, prepared remarks, conference calls, slide presentations and webcasts, we may use or discuss non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein as well as reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this earnings release. See Financial Statement Presentation and Non-GAAP Financial Measures for more information.

Evolent Health, Inc. reported the following results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")

Total cash and cash equivalents was $165.1 million as of March 31, 2024.

We do not believe we 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 acquisitions and other events. Such items may, from time to time, include gain on transfer of membership loss on repayment extinguishment of debt gain from equity method investees, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in tax receivable agreement liability, other income (expense), loss on disposal of non-strategic assets, right-of-use asset impairments, repositioning costs, stock-based compensation expense, severance costs, dividends and accretion on Series A Preferred Stock, acquisition-related costs and certain other items the company believes to be non-indicative of its ongoing operations. 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 are not currently determinable but may be significant.

Second Quarter 2024 Guidance

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue is expected to be in the range of approximately $625.0 million to $645.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of approximately $48.0 million to $62.0 million.

The Company noted that the wide range for its second quarter outlook for Adjusted EBITDA is driven by higher leading indicator volume in certain Performance Suite contracts in Q1, combined with lower claims visibility from partners in part due to the Change Healthcare cyber-attack. Together these variables resulted increased conservatism for Q2 guidance.

Full Year 2024 Guidance

For year ending December 31, 2024, revenue is expected to be in the range of approximately $2.53 billion to $2.60 billion and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of approximately $235.0 million to $265.0 million. In reiterating our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for the year, we noted growth in our diverse portfolio of risk and non-risk products and certain contractual protections available to us in our risk contracts.

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 are set forth below in Forward Looking Statements - Cautionary Language and Evolent Health, Inc.'s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ).

Additional Outlook Information

For the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company expects

Cash deployed for capitalized software development of approximately $30 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities to exceed $150 million.

New Revenue Agreements

Beginning with the first quarter of 2024, Evolent began reporting 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 risk 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company views the following activities as integral to understanding its non-GAAP financial measures

Repositioning costs include severance, termination benefits and related payroll taxes of $1.8 million, dedicated employee costs of $1.2 million, third-party professional services of $3.5 million and office space consolidation costs of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. 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 the 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, (ii) meet the criteria outlined within the respective repositioning plan and (iii) do not relate to normal business operations or ongoing activities.

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.

Acquisition-related costs include but are not limited to integration consultants, financial advisory and banking services, external valuation and accounting advisory services, legal fees and transaction bonuses paid to certain employees.

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 Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted Income 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, respectively, adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs, severance 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, benefit from (provision for) income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, change in the tax receivable agreement liability, gain from equity method investees, change in fair value of contingent consideration, other income (expense), net, repositioning costs, stock-based compensation expense, severance costs, dividends and accretion on Series A Preferred Stock and acquisition-related costs.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it allows further insight into the period over period operational performance. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance

measure because the removal of repositioning costs, acquisition-related costs, severance or non-cash items (e.g. depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense) allows us to focus on operational performance.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is as 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 from equity method investees, other income (expense), net, benefit from (provision for) income taxes, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in tax receivable agreement liability, purchase accounting adjustments, repositioning costs, stock-based compensation expenses, severance costs, dividends and accretion on Series A Preferred Stock and acquisition-related costs.

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 excluding non-cash items (e.g. depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses) allows investors to focus on operational performance. These measures are also useful to management for the same reason.

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.
