Previous wording
During the first quarter of 2025, we experienced declines in our market capitalization as a result of sustained decreases in our stock price, which represented a triggering event requiring our management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. As a result of the impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our single reporting unit was lower than its carrying value and, accordingly, recorded a non-cash, pre-tax, goodwill impairment charge of $176.5 million during the first quarter of 2025. The goodwill impairment charge did not affect our liquidity or the financial covenants in our outstanding debt agreement. There were no triggering events identified during the second quarter of 2025 that would have required our management to perform a goodwill impairment test.

Previous wording
During the first quarter of 2024, we committed to a restructuring plan intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and continue advancing our ongoing commitment to profitable growth (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”). The 2024 Restructuring Plan provided for a reduction of the Company’s current workforce by approximately 150 people. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred restructuring and related charges of $0.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, consisting primarily of severance payments, employee benefits, and related cash expenses. These charges were recognized within transaction, integration, and restructuring expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not expect to incur any additional material charges associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan.

Previous wording
In fiscal year 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $1.2 million related to the consolidation of certain leased office space at our corporate headquarters. These charges comprised $0.9 million relating to the operating lease right-of-use assets and $0.3 million relating to the leasehold improvements. During the first quarter of 2025, we incurred an additional $0.2 million in impairment charges related to the operating lease right-of-use assets.

Previous wording
As part of the 2024 Restructuring Plan, we made significant changes to our go-to-market team that reduced overlay expenses, created a separate group and sales motion for our small and medium sized customers, and allocated more resources to our Enterprise Customers (as the term is defined below). These changes created disruptions to our sales efforts in 2024, impacting both new customer acquisition and upsell to existing customers. These factors, in addition to the lower than historical renewal rates we observed through the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025, have impacted, and we expect will continue to impact, our results in 2025.

Our total customer count, which includes smaller customers, was approximately 2,400 as of June 30, 2025, compared with approximately 2,600 customers as of June 30, 2024. Our Enterprise Customer accounts have decreased by 27 to 510 customers as of June 30, 2025 compared with 537 customers as of June 30, 2024. Our smaller customers have churned at disproportionately higher rates, primarily due to current macroeconomic conditions.

The growth of our business is driven in part by our ability to apply our deep healthcare domain expertise to innovate and expand our platform. We have continually created new products since our founding in 2011. We plan to continue to invest significantly into our engineering and research and development efforts to enhance our capabilities and functionality and facilitate the expansion of our platform to new use cases and customers. In addition, we work to continuously release updates and new features. While we are primarily focused on organic investments to drive innovation, we will also evaluate strategic acquisitions and investments that further expand our platform.

Previous wording
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we derived approximately 96% of our revenue from subscription services and the remainder from professional services. Our subscription services consist primarily of subscription fees for access to our platform and stand-ready support. Our subscription contracts typically have a term ranging from 1 to 3 years and are non-cancellable. We typically bill for services in advance annually, and we typically require payment at the beginning of each annual period. Our subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Our professional services revenue typically is derived from non-recurring consulting services or from other one-time deliveries, which are generally capable of being distinct and can be accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue related to these professional services is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied and control has been transferred to the customer.

These changes disrupted our sales efforts in 2024, coupled with continued macroeconomic headwinds and sales execution challenges throughout 2024. As we moved through 2024 and the first half of 2025, we did not see subscription renewals return to historical levels. Based on these impacts, we expect our revenue to decline in 2025 compared with 2024.

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of the revaluation of Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities, realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the impact of transactions denominated in a foreign currency, and a loss on the partial extinguishment of debt. Significant changes in the projected liability resulting from the Tax Receivable Agreement may occur based on changes in anticipated future taxable income, changes in applicable tax rates, or other changes in tax attributes that may occur and could affect the expected future tax benefits to be received by us. We do not have significant exposure to foreign exchange volatility and do not anticipate foreign currency transaction gains or losses to materially impact our results of operations.

Previous wording
Revenue decreased $7.3 million, or 6%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in the prior year due to lower subscription revenue of $8.2 million, partially offset by higher professional services revenue of $1.0 million. Revenue attributable to customers that existed prior to the start of 2025 decreased $14.8 million, which was partially offset by a $7.5 million increase in revenue from new customers in 2025, inclusive of revenue from a data partnership that was launched earlier this year.
Current wording
Revenue decreased $2.7 million, or 4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in the prior year due to lower subscription revenue of $2.7 million, partially offset by higher professional services revenue of less than $0.1 million.

Previous wording
Cost of revenue increased $3.2 million, or 12%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by a $3.9 million increase in amortization expense resulting from new data asset purchases and higher rates of amortization on certain technology assets amortized under economic consumption methods, and a $0.2 million increase in hosting fees and data subscription and collection costs. Though we continue to experience increased data and hosting costs as a result of expanded customer usage of our platform, the year-over-year increase in these costs were primarily offset by one-time credits totaling approximately $1.9 million we observed during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of a renegotiation on an existing data contract. We also experienced a $0.9 million decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, which was primarily driven by costs incurred associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan that did not repeat in 2025.
Current wording
Cost of revenue increased $0.4 million, or 3%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by a $1.4 million increase in amortization expense resulting from new data asset purchases and higher rates of amortization on certain technology assets amortized under economic consumption methods, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in hosting fees and data subscription and collection costs. Though we continue to experience increased data and hosting costs as a result of expanded customer usage of our platform, the period-over-period net decrease in these costs was due to one-time credits resulting from renegotiations on existing data contracts and the exit of a major data contract from a prior acquisition that no longer provided an economic benefit to the Company. We also experienced a $0.2 million decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, which was primarily driven by a moderate reduction in headcount.
Previous wording
Operating expenses decreased $369.3 million, or 88%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in the prior year.

Previous wording
A decrease in product development expense of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lower personnel costs in the current period, including stock-based compensation expense, resulting from the 2024 Restructuring Plan. These decreases were partially offset by increased costs associated with new software application investments in the current period;
Current wording
An increase in product development expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to increased costs associated with new software application investments during the current year, partially offset by lower personnel costs in the current period resulting from an increase in capitalized payroll and third-party costs related to internal-use software development;

Previous wording
Total other expense, net was $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to total other income, net, of $41.6 million in the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by a TRA liability remeasurement loss of $2.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with a $41.7 million gain during the same period in the prior year. The TRA liability remeasurement gain in the prior year was primarily driven by a $363.6 million goodwill impairment charge incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Also contributing to the change was a foreign currency transaction loss of $0.5 million in the current year period, compared with a loss of $0.1 million in the prior year period, as well as interest expense, net, of $1.2 million in the current period, compared with interest expense, net, of less than $0.1 million in the prior year period.
Current wording
Total other expense, net was $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to total other income, net, of $23.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by a TRA liability remeasurement loss of $7.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 due largely to tax law updates concerning software development expenses under Internal Revenue Code Section 174 (“IRC 174”) from the codification of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), compared with a $24.2 million gain during the same period in the prior year. The TRA liability remeasurement gain in the prior year was primarily driven by a $228.2 million goodwill impairment charge incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Also contributing to the change was a foreign currency transaction loss of $0.1 million in the current year period, compared with a loss of $0.4 million in the prior year period, as well as interest expense, net, of $1.3 million in the current period, compared with interest expense, net, of less than $0.1 million in the prior year period.
Previous wording
Provision for income taxes was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a benefit from income taxes of $21.9 million in the comparable prior year period. The overall change was primarily attributed to the $363.6 million impairment of goodwill during the prior period, resulting in a reduction of indefinite-lived deferred tax liabilities. The resulting income tax benefit from the goodwill impairment did not reoccur in the current period.

The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the TRA liability remeasurement gain of $26.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with the same period in the prior year. The TRA liability remeasurement gain was lower in the current period, primarily as a result of a $187.1 million decrease in goodwill impairment charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. Also contributing to the decrease was a foreign currency transaction loss of $1.5 million in the current year period, compared with a gain of $0.3 million in the prior year period, interest expense, net, of $1.6 million in the current year period, compared with interest income, net, of $0.1 million in the prior year period, and a $0.5 million loss on the partial extinguishment of debt incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Current wording
Total other income, net was $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $68.1 million in the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by a $57.5 million decrease in the TRA liability remeasurement gain during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in the prior year. The TRA liability remeasurement gain was lower in the current period, primarily as a result of a $415.3 million decrease in goodwill impairment charges incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, and to a lesser extent by a TRA remeasurement loss in the current quarter driven by tax law updates concerning software development expenses under IRC 174 from the codification of the OBBBA. Also contributing to the decrease in other income, net was a foreign currency transaction loss of $1.6 million in the current year period, compared with a loss of $0.1 million in the prior year period, interest expense, net, of $3.0 million in the current year period, compared with interest income, net, of less than $0.1 million in the prior year period, and a $0.5 million loss on the partial extinguishment of debt incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Previous wording
Benefit from income taxes was $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $22.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributed to a $187.1 million decrease in goodwill impairment charges during the current period, resulting in reduced income tax benefits from the reduction of indefinite-lived deferred tax liabilities.
Current wording
Benefit from income taxes was $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $36.4 million in the comparable prior year period.

We present “Adjusted EBITDA” as a measure of our operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before (i) debt-related costs, including interest expense and loss on partial extinguishment of debt, (ii) interest expense (income), net, (iii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and (iv) depreciation and amortization. Management further adjusts EBITDA in its presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude (i) other expense (income), net, (ii) equity-based compensation, (iii) transaction, integration, and restructuring expenses, (iv) goodwill impairment, and (v) other non-core items. We exclude these items because they are by nature non-cash, non-recurring, and/or unrelated to our core operations, and therefore we do not believe them to be representative of ongoing operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are key metrics used by management and our Board to assess the profitability of our operations. We believe these metrics provide useful measures to investors to assess our operating performance and in measuring the profitability of our operations on a consolidated level.

Goodwill impairment represents non-cash, pre-tax, goodwill impairment charges. We experienced declines in our market capitalization as a result of a sustained decrease in our stock price, which represented a triggering event requiring our management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. As a result of the impairment test conducted, we determined that the fair value of our single reporting unit was lower than its carrying value and, accordingly, recorded the impairment charge.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $35.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of a net loss of $164.4 million, offset by non-cash charges of $198.5 million.

The net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by cash inflows resulting from a decrease in accounts receivable of $15.9 million, and an increase in deferred revenue of $8.0 million due to the timing of billings and cash received in advance of revenue recognition for subscription services. These factors were partially offset by cash outflows resulting from lower accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities, collectively, of $12.1 million, an increase in deferred contract costs of $6.3 million, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $4.2 million.

In connection with the DH Holdings Credit Agreement Amendment, we repaid $69.1 million of outstanding principal amount of the Term Facility and reduced our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility by $25.0 million. As a result, we incurred a loss on partial extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2025 attributed to the derecognition of a proportionate amount of the unamortized debt discount, a result of repaying the $69.1 million of outstanding principal on the Term Facility and reducing our Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we capitalized financing costs totaling $1.7 million, of which $1.2 million related to the Term Facility and $0.5 million related to the Revolving Line of Credit. The financing costs associated with the Term Facility are recorded as a contra-debt balance in term loan, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the remaining life of the loan using the effective interest method.
