INTRODUCTION

Business Overview

We are a market leader in connecting care for people with complex conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and musculoskeletal diagnoses. We work on behalf of health plans and other risk-bearing entities and payers (our customers) to support physicians and other healthcare providers (our users) in providing high quality evidence-based care to their patients. We believe adherence to evidence-based clinical pathways supports better outcomes for patients, a better experience for physicians, and lower costs for the healthcare system overall.

Specialty care represents a significant and fast-growing portion of healthcare costs in the United States, driven in part by the pace of development of new therapies and treatments. To manage these increasing costs, some health plans and other risk-bearing entities historically deployed cost containment strategies that can limit access to care and operate in narrow silos (for example, prior authorization for radiological studies being considered independently from a comprehensive chemotherapy regimen). We believe Evolent can bring an integrated approach to a patient’s condition across multiple specialties, using technology to recommend our evidence-based clinical pathways in a way that provides rapid feedback to the provider, seeks to remove barriers to care, and aligns financial incentives with the best evidence.

We were an early innovator in value-based care, founded in 2011 by members of our management team, UPMC, an integrated delivery system based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and The Advisory Board Company.

All of our revenue is recognized in the United States and substantially all of our long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Recent Events

Industry Climate

During 2024, the medical claims costs in our Performance Suite grew at a significantly faster rate than historical norms, negatively impacting our financial results. This growth was driven in part by higher disease prevalence, as well as higher cost per active patient. Based on commentary from other market participants, we believe these cost increases were industry-wide and not specific to Evolent. Our results for 2025 were also impacted by growth in medical claims cost that continued to grow faster than our historical averages.

Changes in Medicaid, and the ACA Health Exchanges, including but not limited to those caused by the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act during 2025, created industry expectations for higher member acuity and lower membership in future years. These expectations are exacerbated by the aggregate medical trends experienced by our customers across all lines of business, which has led those customers to exit markets, adjust their benefits and take other actions that are likely to contribute to lower membership in the future. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, our customers reported membership declines in Medicaid and Health Exchanges consistent with our expectations.

We are unable to predict how these broader dynamics will impact our business and results of operations in the future, but they could continue to impact our financial condition and results of operations and such future impacts could be material.

Regulatory Uncertainty and Changes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA amends U.S. tax law, including provisions related to research and development and interest expense. The OBBBA also makes significant changes to the Medicaid, Medicare and ACA Health Exchanges. Changes include new requirements states must meet to maintain federal support for the Medicaid programs, as well as stricter criteria beneficiaries must meet to qualify for and maintain enrollment in federal healthcare programs. The effect of these changes could result in reductions in members covered by partners’ health care plans. The Company continues to evaluate the expected impact of the OBBBA on its business and financial statements, but changes resulting from the OBBBA could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Impact of Inflation

We experience pricing pressures in the form of competitive prices in addition to rising costs for certain inflation-sensitive operating expenses such as labor, employee benefits and facility leases. We do not believe these impacts were material to our revenues or net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026. However, significant sustained inflation driven by the macroeconomic environment or other factors could negatively impact our margins, profitability and results of operations in future periods.

Segment Reporting

We have one operating segment and one reportable segment as our CODM, who is our Chief Executive Officer, assesses the performance of our operations, develops strategy and reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain GAAP policies that significantly affect the determination of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, are summarized below. See “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2” in our 2025 Form 10-K for a complete summary of our significant accounting policies.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

We recognize the excess of the purchase price plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed at least annually for indications of impairment, with consideration given to financial performance and other relevant factors. We perform impairment tests of goodwill at a reporting unit level. We perform impairment tests between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that we believe would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Our goodwill impairment analysis first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances existed that would lead the Company to conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is below its carrying amount. Qualitative factors include macroeconomic, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, industry, legal and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. Additionally, as part of this assessment, we may perform a quantitative analysis to support the qualitative factors above by applying sensitivities to assumptions and inputs used in measuring our reporting unit’s fair value.

If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is below the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill assessment is required. In the quantitative evaluation, the fair value is determined and compared to the carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, then the carrying value is deemed to be recoverable and no further action is required. If the fair value estimate is less than the carrying value, goodwill is considered impaired for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value and a charge is reported in goodwill impairment on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We use a discounted cash flow analysis in order to estimate the fair value of our reporting unit. The discounted cash flow analysis relies on significant judgment and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates and operating margins. These assumptions are based on estimates of future revenue and earnings after considering such factors as general economic and market conditions which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The weighted average cost of capital is based on market-based factors/inputs but also considers the specific risk characteristics of the reporting unit’s cash flow forecast. A significant change to these estimates and assumptions could cause the estimated fair values of our reporting unit and intangible assets to decline and increase the risk of an impairment charge to earnings. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

32

See “Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 8” in this Form 10-Q for more information related to the 2025 goodwill impairment test. As of March 31, 2026, Evolent assessed whether there were events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its goodwill below its carrying amount and require an interim impairment test. The Company determined there had been no such indicators. Therefore, it was unnecessary to perform a goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2026.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Evolent Health, Inc. is a holding company and its principal asset is all of the Class A common units in Evolent Health LLC, which has owned all of our operating assets and substantially all of our business since inception. The financial results of Evolent Health LLC are consolidated in the financial statements of Evolent Health, Inc.

Key Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue contracts are typically multi-year arrangements with customers to provide solutions designed to lower the medical expenses of our partners and include our total cost of care management and specialty care management services solutions, provide comprehensive health plan operations and claims processing services, and also include transition or run-out services to customers.

Our performance obligation in these arrangements is to provide an integrated suite of services, including access to our platform that is customized to meet the specialized needs of our partners and providers. Generally, we will apply the series guidance to the performance obligation as we have determined that each time increment is distinct. We primarily utilize a variable fee structure for these services that typically includes a monthly payment that is calculated based on a specified per member per month rate, multiplied by the number of members that our partners are managing under a value-based care arrangement or a percentage of plan premiums. Our arrangements may also include other variable fees related to service level agreements, shared medical savings arrangements and other performance measures. Variable co

Recent Events

Transactions

The Company has undertaken several transactions, some of which may impact year-to-year comparisons. The following is a discussion of certain of those transactions.

Disposal

During the third quarter, the Company entered into the ECP Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Evolent Care Partners for a purchase price of $100.0 million, subject to customary closing purchase price adjustments, and a contingent payment of up to $13.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain metrics following the closing. The Company consummated the transaction on December 5, 2025. The Company previously recorded its operations from Evolent Care Partners in its total cost of care management solution.

The Company determined that the transaction met the held for sale criteria and ceased recording amortization of provider network contract intangibles at that time. The Company received cash proceeds of $91.3 million after net working capital adjustments. The carrying value of net assets and liabilities of $76.4 million, inclusive of allocated goodwill, was disposed resulting in a gain on disposal of $14.9 million recorded in (gain) loss on disposal of non-strategic assets for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company allocated $44.8 million of goodwill to the transaction based on the value of the transaction compared to the estimated business enterprise value on the closing date. Refer to “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 4” for additional discussion regarding our disposal.

2031 Notes Issuance, 2025 Notes Repayment and Common Stock Repurchase

On August 18, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to sell $145.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2031 Notes in a private placement to the Purchasers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company granted the Purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $21.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes, which the Purchasers exercised in full on August 19, 2025. The closing of the 2031 Notes occurred on August 21, 2025 and a total of $166.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes were issued at an issue price of 100.00% of par for net proceeds of approximately $161.0 million, after deducting fees and estimated expenses. On August 21, 2025, using proceeds from the sale of the 2031 Notes plus available liquidity, the Company repurchased approximately $167.4 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Notes for $166.8 million in cash in note repurchases entered into concurrently with the pricing of the sale of the 2031 Notes. The Company also repurchased $40.0 million of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock concurrently with the sale of the 2031 Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the Purchasers or its affiliate at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on August 18, 2025.

Credit Agreement Activity

On December 6, 2024 (the “Amendment No. 3 Effective Date”), the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to its credit agreement, by and among the Company, the Borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as co-borrowers and guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares”) (as amended, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) that provided new secured debt financing in the form of (i) additional commitments under the Company’s existing asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $50.0 million (the “2024 Revolver Increase”, and together with the initial asset-based revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million obtained by the Company in 2022 (the “Initial Revolving Facility”) and the additional commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $25.0 million obtained by the Company in 2023, the “Revolving Facility”), (ii) a new delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $125.0 million (the “2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) a new delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $75.0 million (the “2024-B Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility” and together with the 2024 Revolver Increase and the 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the “2024 Incremental Facilities”; the initial term loan facility obtained by the Company in 2022 under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the additional term loans entered into by the Company in 2023, the 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and the 2024-B Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, as amended, are collectively

43

referred to herein as the “Term Loan Facility”; the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility are collectively referred to herein as the “First Lien Credit Facilities”).

On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the First Lien Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) to modify the definition of “Maturity Date.”

On June 19, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the First Lien Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 5”) (which superseded Amendment No. 4) to (i) include amounts committed under a new Incremental Facility for purposes of testing “Liquidity” under the definition of “Maturity Date,” (ii) provide that failure to consummate the Exchange in certain circumstances would constitute an event of default, (iii) include certain transactions to the mandatory prepayment requirement, and (iv) provide additional flexibility to make certain restricted payments in respect of the 2025 Notes prior to maturity thereof.

On June 19, 2025, in connection with the Company’s entry into Amendment No. 5, the Company and the Borrower entered into a Commitment Letter with Ares which provided the Company additional available non-dilutive debt capital of up to $150.0 million (the “Incremental Facility”) to retire its 2025 Notes on or before October 15, 2025 (the maturity date of the 2025 Notes) and for working capital and required that the Company would, in the event the Incremental Facility is drawn and in certain other circumstances, exchange its existing Series A Preferred Stock for a second lien term loan facility (the “Second Lien Term Loan Facility” and, together with the First Lien Credit Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”) in the amount of the Liquidation Preference of the Series A Preferred Stock ($175.0 million) (the “Exchange”). On August 7, 2025, the Company completed the Exchange. The Company paid $9.3 million of deferred financing costs, of which $3.3 million was related to amending the existing 2024 Incremental Facilities. The Company did not draw on the Incremental Facility due to the retirement of the 2025 Notes. As such, we recorded a $6.0 million loss related to the Incremental Facility in extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock and other refinancing fees on the consolidated statement of operations.

On December 31, 2025, the Company repaid $82.8 million under its 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility using proceeds from its sale of Evolent Care Partners. As a result of the repayment on the 2024-A Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the Company recorded a loss of $3.9 million in loss on extinguishment and repayment of debt, net, comprised of $0.8 million of contractual prepayment penalty in accordance with the Credit Agreement and $3.1 million of acceleration of amortization of deferred financing fees.

As of December 31, 2025, there was $117.2 million, $72.5 million and $175.0 million principal balance subject to interest under the Company’s Term Loan Facility, Revolving Facility and Second Lien Term Loan Facility, respectively.

Refer to “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 9” for additional discussion regarding our Credit Agreement.

Goodwill Impairment

Subsequent to our 2024 goodwill impairment test through the end of 2025, the closing price per share of our Class A common stock declined from $23.35 per common share on October 31, 2024 to $6.67 at October 31, 2025. As a result of the prolonged decline in our stock price, the Company elected to forego the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment of the goodwill impairment test for our sole reporting unit. To determine the implied fair value for our single reporting unit, we used a discounted cash flow valuation approach (“income approach”). In determining the estimated fair value using the income approach, we projected future cash flows based on management’s estimates and long-term plans and applied a discount rate based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. This analysis required us to make judgments about revenues, expenses, fixed asset and working capital requirements, capital market assumptions and cash flows, as well as discount rates to reconcile to our market capitalization. As a result of the decrease in our Class A common stock since our 2024 goodwill impairment test, the market capitalization reconciliation indicated that the carrying amount of our reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded a $398.0 million non-cash and non-tax-deductible impairment charge, reflected within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operation for the year ended December 31, 2025.

We monitor for events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our goodwill below its carrying amount and require an additional impairment test. If we determine there are circumstances that may be indicators of potential impairment triggers, including further decreases in the share price of our Class A common stock, we may be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment test which could result in additional impairment charges which could be material to our results of operations.

Industry Climate

During 2024, the medical claims costs in our Performance Suite grew at a significantly faster rate than historical norms, negatively impacting our financial results. This growth was driven in part by higher disease prevalence, as well as higher cost per active patient. Based on commentary from other market participants, we believe these cost increases were industry-wide and not specific to Evolent. Our results for 2025 were also impacted by growth in medical claims cost that continued to grow faster than our historical averages.

Changes in Medicaid, and the ACA Health Exchanges, including but not limited to those caused by the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act during 2025, created industry expectations for higher member acuity and lower membership in future years. These expectations are exacerbated by the aggregate medical trend experienced by our customers across all lines of business, which has lead those customers to exit markets, adjust their benefits and take other actions that are likely to contribute to lower membership in the future.

We are unable to predict how these broader dynamics will impact our business and results of operations in the future, but they could continue to impact our financial condition and results of operations and such future impacts could be material.

Regulatory Uncertainty and Changes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA amends U.S. tax law, including provisions related to research and development and interest expense. The OBBBA also makes significant changes to the Medicaid, Medicare and ACA Health Exchanges. Changes include new requirements states must meet to maintain federal support for the Medicaid programs, as well as stricter criteria beneficiaries must meet to qualify for and maintain enrollment in federal healthcare programs. The effect of these changes could result in reductions in members covered by partners’ health care plans. The Company continues to evaluate the expected impact of the OBBBA on its business and financial statements, but changes resulting from the OBBBA could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Impact of Inflation

We experience pricing pressures in the form of competitive prices in addition to rising costs for certain inflation-sensitive operating expenses such as labor, employee benefits and facility leases. We do not believe these impacts were material to our revenues or net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. However, significant sustained inflation driven by the macroeconomic environment or other factors could negatively impact our margins, profitability and results of operations in future periods.

Segment Reporting

We have one operating segment and one reportable segment as our CODM, who is our Chief Executive Officer, assesses the performance of our operations, develops strategy and reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to the understanding of our results of operations and our financial condition. In applying these critical accounting policies in preparing our consolidated financial statements, management must use

45

critical assumptions, estimates and judgments concerning future results or other developments, including the likelihood, timing or amount of one or more future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our assumptions, estimates and judgments based upon historical experience and various other information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. For a detailed discussion of other significant accounting policies, see “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2” in this Form 10-K for more information on our critical accounting policies.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

We recognize the excess of the purchase price plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed at least annually for indications of impairment, with consideration given to financial performance and other relevant factors. We perform impairment tests of goodwill at a reporting unit level. We perform impairment tests between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that we believe would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Our goodwill impairment analysis first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances existed that would lead the Company to conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is below its carrying amount. Qualitative factors include macroeconomic, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, industry, legal and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. Additionally, as part of this assessment, we may perform a quantitative analysis to support the qualitative factors above by applying sensitivities to assumptions and inputs used in measuring our reporting unit’s fair value.

If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is below the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill assessment is required. In the quantitative evaluation, the fair value is determined and compared to the carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, then the carrying value is deemed to be recoverable and no further action is required. If the fair value estimate is less than the carrying value, goodwill is considered impaired for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value and a charge is reported in goodwill impairment on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We use a discounted cash flow analysis in order to estimate the fair value of our reporting unit. The discounted cash flow analysis relies on significant judgment and assumptions about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates, expected long-term growth rates and operating margins. These assumptions are based on estimates of future revenue and earnings after considering such factors as general economic and market conditions which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The weighted average cost of capital is based on market-based factors/inputs but also considers the specific risk characteristics of the reporting unit’s cash flow forecast. A significant change to these estimates and assumptions could cause the estimated fair values of our reporting unit and intangible assets to decline and increase the risk of an impairment charge to earnings. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

See “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 8” in this Form 10-K for more information related to the 2025 goodwill impairment test.

Revenue Recognition

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations, primarily when the partner has requested both administrative services and other services such as our specialty care management or total cost of care management services as these services are distinct from one another. When a contract has multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price using the expected cost margin approach. This approach requires estimates regarding both the level of effort it will take to satisfy the performance obligation as well as fees that will be received under the variable pricing model. We also take into consideration customer demographics, current market conditions, the scope of services and our overall pricing strategy and objectives when determining the standalone selling price.

We use third parties to assist in satisfying our performance obligations. In order to determine whether we are the principal or agent in the arrangement, we review each third-party relationship on a contract-by-contract basis. As we integrate goods and services provided by third parties into our overall service, we control the services provided to the customer prior to its delivery. As such, we are the principal and we will recognize revenue on a gross basis. In certain cases, we do not control the services from third parties before it is delivered to the customer, thereby recognizing revenue on a net basis.

Income Taxes

46

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We estimate our actual current tax expense, including permanent charges and benefits, and temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue for tax and book accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets.

We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income by considering both positive and negative evidence relating to their recoverability. If we believe that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be recovered, we establish a valuation allowance. To the extent that we increase a valuation allowance in a period, we include an expense in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which such determination is made.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we considered all available evidence, including recent operating results, projections of future taxable income, our ability to utilize loss and credit carryforwards, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated for jurisdictions in a net deferred tax asset position was cumulative pre-tax losses over the three years ended December 31, 2025.

We account for uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing a tax position only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

Our gross unrecognized benefits are $2.7 million as of December 31, 2025. Our evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. If actual settlements differ from these estimates, or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to recognize additional tax benefits or charges that could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

Reserve for Claims and Performance-based Arrangements

Reserves for performance-based arrangements and claims reflect actual payments under performance-based arrangements and the ultimate cost of claims that have been incurred but not reported, including expected development on reported claims, those that have been reported but not yet paid (reported claims in process), and other medical care expenses and services payable that are primarily composed of accruals for incentives and other amounts payable to health care professionals and facilities. The Company uses actuarial principles and assumptions that are consistently applied in each reporting period and recognizes the actuarial best estimate of the ultimate liability along with a margin for adverse deviation. This approach is consistent with actuarial standards of practice that the liabilities be adequate under moderately adverse conditions.

The process of estimating reserves involves a considerable degree of judgment by the Company and, as of any given date, is inherently uncertain. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed, and adjustments are reflected in current results of operations in the period in which they are identified as experience develops or new information becomes known.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Evolent Health, Inc. is a holding company and its principal asset is all of the Class A common units in Evolent Health LLC, which has owned all of our operating assets and substantially all of our business since inception. The financial results of Evolent Health LLC are consolidated in the financial statements of Evolent Health, Inc.

Key Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue contracts are typically multi-year arrangements with customers to provide solutions designed to lower the medical expenses of our partners and include our total cost of care management and specialty care management services solutions, provide comprehensive health plan operations and claims processing services, and also include transition or run-out services to customers.

Our performance obligation in these arrangements is to provide an integrated suite of services, including access to our platform that is customized to meet the specialized needs of our partners and providers. Generally, we will apply the series guidance to the performance obligation as we have determined that each time increment is distinct. We primarily utilize a variable fee structure for these services that typically includes a monthly payment that is calculated based on a specified per member per month rate, multiplied by the number of members that our partners are managing under a value-based care arrangement or a percentage of plan premiums.

47

Our arrangements may also include other variable fees related to service level agreements, shared medical savings arrangements and other performance measures. Variable consideration is estimated using the most likely amount based on our historical experience and best judgment at the time.

We also deploy our services in capitation arrangements under our specialty care management solution and total cost of care solution, which we call the “Performance Suite.” Capitation arrangements under the Performance Suite may include performance-based arrangements and/or gainshare features. We occasionally use third parties to assist in satisfying our performance obligations. In order to determine whether we are the principal or agent in the arrangement, we review each third-party relationship on a contract-by- contract basis. As we integrate goods and services provided by third parties into our overall service, we control the services provided to the customer prior to its delivery. As such, we are the principal and we will recognize revenue on a gross basis. In certain cases, we act as an agent and do not control the services from third parties before it is delivered to the customer, thereby recognizing revenue on a net basis.

Due to the nature of our arrangements, certain estimates may be constrained if it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved. We recognize revenue from services over time using the time elapsed output method. Fixed consideration is recognized ratably over the contract term. In accordance with the series guidance, we allocate variable consideration to the period to which the fees relate.

Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Our cost of revenue includes direct expenses and shared resources that perform services in direct support of our partners. Costs consist primarily of claims expense, employee-related expenses (including compensation, benefits and stock-based compensation), expenses recorded as part of a Medicare shared savings program and other services, as well as other professional fees. In certain cases, our cost of revenue also includes claims and capitation payments to providers and payments for pharmaceutical treatments and other health care expenditures through performance-based arrangements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of employee-related expenses (including compensation, benefits and stock-based compensation) for selling and marketing, corporate development, finance, legal, human resources, corporate information technology, professional fees and other corporate expenses associated with these functional areas. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include costs associated with our centralized infrastructure and research and development activities to support our network development capabilities, technology infrastructure, clinical program development and data analytics.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of the amortization of intangible assets associated with the step up in fair value of Evolent Health LLC’s assets and liabilities for the Offering Reorganization, amortization of intangible assets recorded as part of our various business combinations and asset acquisitions and depreciation of property and equipment, including internal-use software development costs.

Lives on Platform and PMPM Fees

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 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.

48

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 total claims incurred 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, we present MER excluding revenues from Evolent Care Partners. See “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 5 - Disaggregation of Revenue” in this Form 10-K for more information related to GAAP revenue by product type.

Comparison of the Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2025 to 2024

Revenue

Total revenue decreased $678.5 million, or 26.6%, to $1,876.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily from contractual updates with certain customers in our Performance Suite, including (i) $447.3 million from transitioning a customer from Performance Suite to Specialty Technology and Services Suite and (ii) $267.4

49

million related to contract amounts including the narrowing of scope of certain Performance Suite customers. Both of these contractual updates were accompanied by significant reductions in medical claims expense. These revenue reductions were offset in part by $62.9 million of growth in other Performance Suite and Specialty Technology and Services contracts, net of reductions in membership at certain of our health plan clients as a result of Medicaid redeterminations and certain customers exiting their Medicare Advantage operations in certain markets, unrelated to Evolent.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by $711.0 million, or 32.5%, to $1,476.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, principally as a result of the 26.6% decrease in our revenue compared to year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease included approximately $715.7 million of lower claims cost compared to the prior year period, which is primarily attributable to transitioning certain Performance Suite customers to Specialty and Technology Service Suite and narrowing of scope of certain customers totaling

50

$754.6 million, offset in part by higher claims expense on certain new and existing customer contracts of $15.9 million, contractual changes on a Performance Suite customer of $21.5 million and higher personnel costs of $2.8 million compared to the prior year.

(2)Refer to “Comparison of the Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2025 to 2024 - Revenue” for additional information on Performance Suite revenue less revenue from Evolent Care Partners.

Approximately $3.2 million and $4.6 million of total cost of revenue was attributable to stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Cost of revenue represented 78.7% and 85.6% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 respectively. Our cost of revenue decreased as a percentage of our total revenue due to a shift in mix in our business towards higher margin product types. We anticipate continued growth in the cost of treatment for cancer and cardiovascular patients over time, which we expect to be offset in part by contractual protections within our Performance Suite and the impact of our clinical interventions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $40.8 million, or 15.5%, to $303.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel costs of $24.4 million including increased severance of $7.3 million, higher professional fees of $6.7 million driven by transaction costs, higher technology costs including cloud services of $5.8 million, a $2.1 million increase in bad debt expense versus the prior period reflecting a return to normal collections timing and higher stock compensation expense due to the achievement and change in projected achievement of certain performance measurements of $1.3 million, offset by lower lease expense of $4.2 million due to the termination of certain real estate leases. The lower personnel costs in 2024 related in part to lower-than-target incentive compensation accruals.

Approximately $36.5 million and $35.2 million of total selling, general and administrative expenses were attributable to stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Acquisition and severance costs accounted for approximately $15.4 million and $5.8 million of total selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 16.2% and 10.3% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, respectively, driven primarily from contractual updates with certain customers in our Performance Suite.

51

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $2.5 million, or 2.1%, to $115.9 million, as compared to 2024 primarily due to $21.6 million of accelerated amortization on our retired trade names in 2024 and $2.4 million of lower depreciation of internally developed software, offset in part by $21.9 million higher amortization of certain customer relationship intangibles. Depreciation and amortization expenses include $76.1 million and $68.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of amortization expense on intangible assets such as corporate trade names, customer, relationships, provider network contracts and existing technology related to acquisitions and business combinations.

Loss on Lease Termination

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company terminated its Chicago, IL lease effective October 31, 2024. We recorded an additional $0.7 million loss on lease termination related to negotiated termination payments and real estate commissions for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(Gain) Loss on Disposal of Non-Strategic Assets

During the third quarter, the Company entered into the ECP Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Evolent Care Partners for a purchase price of $100.0 million, subject to customary closing purchase price adjustments, and a contingent payment of up to $13.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain metrics following the closing. The Company consummated the transaction on December 5, 2025. The Company previously recorded its operations from Evolent Care Partners in its total cost of care management solution. The Company received cash proceeds of $91.3 million after net working capital adjustments. The carrying value of net assets and liabilities of $76.4 million, inclusive of allocated goodwill, was disposed resulting in a gain on disposal of $14.9 million recorded in (gain) loss on disposal of non-strategic assets for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

We recorded a loss on change in fair value of contingent consideration of $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, related to our Machinify and Evolent Care Partners earnouts. We recorded a loss of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily related to the final payment of $88.8 million on our NIA earnout in April 2024 and annual incentive payments of $3.1 million to Evolent Care Partners providers based on membership attribution, offset in part by $7.1 million reduction on our Machinify earnout. See “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 18” in this Form 10-K for more information related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration.

Goodwill and Intangibles Assets

Subsequent to our 2024 goodwill impairment test through the end of 2025, the closing price per share of our Class A common stock declined from $23.35 per common share on October 31, 2024 to $6.67 at October 31, 2025. As a result of the prolonged decline in our stock price, the Company elected to forego the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment of the goodwill impairment test for our sole reporting unit. To determine the implied fair value for our single reporting unit, we used a discounted cash flow valuation approach (“income approach”). In determining the estimated fair value using the income approach, we projected future cash flows based on management’s estimates and long-term plans and applied a discount rate based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. This analysis required us to make judgments about revenues, expenses, fixed asset and working capital requirements, capital market assumptions and cash flows, as well as discount rates to reconcile to our market capitalization. As a result of the decrease in our Class A common stock since our 2024 goodwill impairment test, the market capitalization reconciliation indicated that the carrying amount of our reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded a $398.0 million non-cash and non-tax-deductible impairment charge, reflected within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operation for the year ended December 31, 2025. A detailed discussion of our impairment testing is included in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 8.”

Discussion of Non-Operating Results

Interest Expense

We recorded interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs) of approximately $57.5 million and $24.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 is driven primarily by interest incurred under First Lien Credit Agreement borrowings in January 2025 and the exchange of our Series A Preferred Stock for Second Lien Loan Facility combined with the issuance of our

52

2031 Notes in August 2025. See “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 9” in this Form 10-K for more information related to interest expense by debt issuance.

On December 31, 2025, using proceeds from the sale of Evolent Care Partners, the Company repaid $82.8 million of principal on its Ares First Lien Term Loan Facility and recorded a loss of $3.9 million in loss on extinguishment and repayment of debt, net, comprised of $0.8 million of contractual prepayment penalty in accordance with the Credit Agreement and $3.1 million of acceleration of amortization of deferred financing fees.

On August 21, 2025, using proceeds from the sale of the 2031 Notes plus available liquidity, the Company repurchased approximately $167.4 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Notes for $166.8 million in cash in note repurchases entered into concurrently with the pricing of the sale of the 2031 Notes. As a result of the repurchase of the 2025 Notes, the Company recorded a $0.4 million gain on extinguishment of short-term debt, net for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Loss on Option Exercise

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we completed the purchase of a portion of one of our equity method investments that we did not own from our joint venture partner for the price of $51.5 million. The purchase price was fixed based on a previously negotiated put/call structure. The loss of $52.5 million represents the difference between the purchase price under the put option and the estimated fair value of the interests acquired. The joint venture was primarily focused on a portfolio of oncology clinics, a member navigation platform and practice alignment arm. The oncology clinics in the joint venture were shut down or otherwise disposed of prior to the payment of the put option, and the joint venture will have no continuing operations.

Extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock and Other Refinancing Fees

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 which provided, in part, that failure to consummate the Exchange of our Series A Preferred Stock for the new Second Lien Term Loan Facility in certain circumstances would constitute an event of default under the First Lien Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 5 was accounted for as an extinguishment and reissuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock post-amendment was recorded at fair value, including a $9.0 million charge to extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock and other refinancing fees on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the remainder as a deemed dividend.

On June 19, 2025, in connection with the Company’s entry into Amendment No. 5, the Company and the Borrower entered into a Commitment Letter with Ares which provides the Company additional available non-dilutive debt capital of up to $150.0 million. The Company paid $9.3 million of deferred financing costs related to the Incremental Facility, of which $3.3 million was related to amending the existing 2024 Incremental Facilities. The Company did not draw on the Incremental Facility due to the retirement of the 2025 Notes. As such, we recorded a $6.0 million loss related to the Incremental Facility.

Benefit from Income Taxes

A benefit from income taxes of $0.1 million and $1.4 million was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which resulted in effective tax rates of 0.0% and 2.2%,, respectively.

Dividends and Accretion of Series A Preferred Stock Including Excise Tax

We paid quarterly regular cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) plus 6.00%. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed the exchange of its existing Series A Preferred Stock for the new Second Lien Term Loan Facility on substantively similar economic terms to the existing Series A Preferred Stock, with no common stock conversion feature, pursuant to the Exchange. Prior to the Exchange, the Company accreted redemption value in excess of par at a redemption price per share equal to 150.00% of the then-current liquidation preference per share of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposed a non-deductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain equity transactions made after December 31, 2022. We recorded the applicable excise tax in additional paid-in-capital as part of the preferred equity exchange and a corresponding liability for the excise tax payable in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

The Company paid dividends and recorded accretion of deferred issuance costs and redemption value related to the Series A Preferred Stock and excise tax as presented below (in thousands):

REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company reported net loss attributable to common shareholders of Evolent Health, Inc. of $579.4 million and $93.5 million and $142.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $151.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $28.8 million in restricted cash.

We believe our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months as of the date the financial statements were issued. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities and the timing and extent of our spending to support our investment efforts and expansion into other markets. We may also seek to invest in, or acquire complementary businesses, applications or technologies, which may require us to seek sources of financing.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with our operations. Primary activities include net loss from operations adjusted for non-cash transactions, working capital changes and changes in other assets and liabilities.

Cash flows used in operating activities of $38.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 were driven primarily by $67.5 million in payments to clients for reconciliations of performance suite contracts from prior years; these contracts have since been restructured. This was included in an overall reduction in reserve for claims and performance-based arrangements of $126.5 million due to the timing of claims payments, offset in part by decreases in accounts receivable of $73.7 million from timing of our partner and vendor payments and an increase in accrued compensation and benefits of $17.3 million due to the timing of 2024 bonus payments and severance of $10.1 million.

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 were affected by increases in accounts receivable of $32.1 million from timing of our partner and vendor payments including higher cash receipts from certain performance-based customers, offset by a reduction reserve for claims and performance-based arrangements of $85.3 million due to the timing of claims payments and a reduction in accrued compensation and benefits of $22.7 million due to the timing of 2023 bonus payments, severance of $2.9 million and payments for office lease consolidation and termination of $8.4 million. Of the total $88.8 million in NIA contingent consideration paid in the period, $22.2 million represented a change in fair value of NIA contingent consideration in excess of the initial fair value at the acquisition date through payment date, and is therefore presented in cash flows provided by operating activities under changes in accrued expenses.

54

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $142.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 were affected by increases in accounts receivable from our acquisition of NIA of $51.8 million and timing of our partner and vendor payments including lower cash receipts from certain performance-based customers including Cook County Health and Hospitals System totaling $142.7 million, which is then offset by higher reserve for claims and performance-based arrangements of $204.3 million. In addition, accrued liabilities were impacted by an increase in expected contingent consideration payments of $18.0 million.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 were primarily attributable to cash paid for asset acquisitions and business combinations of $57.4 million and investments in internal-use software and purchases of property and equipment of $34.1 million, offset in part by $91.3 million of cash proceeds from the disposition of Evolent Care Partners.

Cash flows used in investing activities of $62.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily attributable to cash paid for asset acquisitions and business combinations of $30.7 million which is inclusive of $19.5 million for the purchase of Machinify and $3.0 million for investment in future equity notes, and $24.9 million of investments in internal-use software and purchases of property and equipment.

Cash flows used in investing activities of $415.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 were primarily attributable to $388.2 million paid for the acquisition of NIA and $28.7 million of investments in internal-use software and purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities of $35.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 were primarily related to $408.0 million of borrowings under our Term Loan Facility, issuance of 2031 Notes and Second Lien Term Loan, offset, in part by $171.1 million of repayments under our Credit Agreement, $171.9 million of repayments of our 2025 Notes, $40.0 million related to repurchases of our common stock, net of taxes, $42.9 million related to changes in working capital balances related to claims processing and $11.1 million of preferred dividends paid on our Series A Preferred Stock.

Cash flows used in financing activities of $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily related to $20.1 million of preferred dividends paid on our Series A Preferred Stock and $15.7 million from withholding taxes paid on of vested restricted stock units that were net settled. Additional cash used in financing activities include the portion of the NIA contingent consideration representing the fair value at the acquisition date of $66.6 million, offset in part by $62.5 million borrowed under the Revolving Facility and $43.5 million related to changes in working capital balances related to claims processing.

Cash flows provided by financing activities of $281.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, were primarily related to $647.5 million received from our Credit Facilities and 2029 Notes and $168.0 million from the issuance of preferred equity, offset in part, by $464.2 million of cash outflows related to the payment on our Credit Facilities, $46.9 million from the payment of contingent consideration, $18.8 million of preferred dividends paid on our Series A Preferred Stock and $15.3 million from withholding taxes paid in respect of vested restricted stock units that were net settled.

Contractual and Other Obligations

We believe that the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows from operations, plus borrowings under our credit facilities and if necessary, additional funding through other forms of financing, will be adequate for us to execute our business strategy and meet anticipated requirements for lease obligations, capital expenditures working capital and debt service for the next twelve

(1)During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company terminated its Chicago, IL lease and recognized the impact in its operating lease liability - current and operating lease liability - noncurrent on its consolidated balance sheet. The remaining termination payments will be $12.9 million in 2026.

(2)Refer to the discussion in “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 9” for additional information on payment dates for our convertible notes interest.

As of December 31, 2025, there was $117.2 million, $72.5 million and $175.0 million principal balance subject to interest under the Company’s Term Loan Facility, Revolving Facility and Second Lien Term Loan Facility, respectively, all of which are subject to interest rates based on the SOFR. The interest rate for all Loans will be calculated, at the option of the borrowers, (a) in the case of the Revolving Facility, at either the Adjusted Term SOFR plus 4.00%, or the base rate plus 3.00% and (b) in the case of the Term Loan Facility, at either the Adjusted Term SOFR plus 5.50% or the base rate plus 4.50%, subject to step downs based on a total secured leverage ratio. The Company used the funds borrowed under its Committed Facilities for general corporate purposes, including working capital and management of future liabilities. The interest rate for the Second Lien Term Loan will be calculated (a) in the case of loans that bear interest at ABR, 5.00% plus the ABR and (b) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, 6.00% plus the relevant Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, in each case subject to step downs based on a total secured leverage ratio.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. During the year ended December 31, 2025, accounts receivable, net, decreased primarily due to the timing of cash receipts from certain customers.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $28.8 million is carried at cost and includes cash held on behalf of other entities for pharmacy and claims management services of $12.9 million, collateral for letters of credit required as security deposits for facility leases of $0.2 million, amounts held with financial institutions for risk-sharing arrangements of $15.7 million as of December 31, 2025. See “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2” for further details of the Company’s restricted cash balances.

Uses of Capital

Our principal uses of cash are in the operation and expansion of our business, payment of interest and other amounts payable in connection with financings, including on our convertible debt and secured borrowings, as well as potential tax obligations. The Company does not anticipate paying a cash dividend on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future.
