WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolent Health, Inc.

Seth Blackley, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Evolent stated, "We believe our results for the second quarter of 2026, our updated 2026 guidance and our 2027 outlook all demonstrate that Evolent is delivering strong growth, profitability and cash flow.

The rising medical costs impacting health plans continue to drive robust demand for Evolent's complex specialty care solutions.
Evolent has two partnership announcements, bringing the year-to-date total to four:
• First, we are preparing for the go live of an Oncology Performance Suite partnership with an existing advanced imaging client. The partnership will cover approximately 1.5 million lives across Medicaid and Medicare populations spread through 11 states. We currently expect this business to launch by December 2026, subject to certain regulatory approvals, and generate approximately $300 million in annualized revenue. As with other recent Performance Suite arrangements, this relationship includes Evolent's full enhanced contractual protections.
• Second, an existing Specialty Technology & Services Suite client, a regional Blues plan customer, has signed an agreement to broaden its use of our Specialty Technology & Services Suite by adding new products and extending existing solutions to additional populations. We expect these implementations to occur during the third and fourth quarters of this year and annualized revenue from this contract to be less than $5 million.

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, gain (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 raising its 2026 revenue guidance range to $2.6 to $2.7 billion. The Company is also tightening its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $120 to $135 million.
Additional Outlook Information
The Company expects to deploy $25 million to $30 million in cash for capitalized software development 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 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.
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 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, benefit from (provision for) income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock and other refinancing fees, 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, 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 (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders is defined as net loss attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. adjusted to gain (loss) from equity method investees, other income (expense), net, benefit from (provision for) income taxes, change in fair value of contingent consideration, extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock and other refinancing fees, loss on option exercise, purchase accounting adjustments, loss on lease termination, stock-based compensation expense, severance costs, transaction-related costs and the tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments.
Adjusted Income (Loss) 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.
