Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Change in Accounting Principles

Basis of Presentation

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The interim consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The disclosures provided herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 2023 Form 10-K for a complete summary of our significant accounting policies.

Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates. In the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, the valuation of assets (including intangibles assets, goodwill and long-lived assets), liabilities, consideration related to business combinations and asset acquisitions, revenue recognition (including variable consideration), estimated selling prices for performance obligations in contracts with multiple performance obligations, reserves for claims and performance-based arrangements, credit losses, depreciable lives of assets, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes and valuation allowance, contingent liabilities, purchase price allocation in taxable stock transactions and useful lives of intangible assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Evolent Health, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company holds materially all of our cash in bank deposits with FDIC participating banks, at cost, which approximates fair value.

Restricted Cash and Restricted Investments

Restricted cash and restricted investments include cash and investments used to collateralize various contractual obligations (in thousands) as follows:

Business Combinations

Companies acquired during each reporting period are reflected in the results of the Company effective from their respective dates of acquisition through the end of the reporting period. The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Critical estimates used to value certain identifiable assets include, but are not limited to, expected long-term revenues, future expected operating expenses, cost of capital and appropriate discount rates.

The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill. If the Company obtains new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

For contingent consideration recorded as a liability, the Company initially measures the amount at fair value as of the acquisition date and adjusts the liability, if needed, to fair value at each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, other than measurement period adjustments, are recognized as operating income or expense. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. See Note 4 for additional discussion regarding business combinations.

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 on October 31 of each year. 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 its reporting unit is below its carrying amount. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is below the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill assessment is required. In the quantitative evaluation, the fair value of our reporting unit 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 our reporting unit’s fair value and a charge is reported in goodwill impairment on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See Note 8 for additional discussion regarding the goodwill impairment tests conducted during 2023.

Intangible Assets, Net

Identified intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are used.

The following summarizes the estimated useful lives by asset classification:

Corporate trade name1 year
Customer relationships11 - 25 years
Technology5 years
Provider network contracts3 - 5 years

As part of the organizational changes as a result of growth in our value-based specialty care business, we will sunset several corporate trade names and replace them with Evolent signifying our adoption and launch of a unified brand. As a result, we re-evaluated the useful lives of our intangible assets and accelerated amortization such that all corporate trade names will be fully amortized by December 2024.

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate the Company may not be able to recover the asset’s carrying value. The Company evaluates recoverability by determining whether the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of that asset or group exceed the carrying value at the evaluation date. If the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to cover the carrying value, the Company measures an impairment loss as the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or group over its fair value. See Note 8 for additional discussion regarding our intangible assets.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs consist primarily of personnel and related expenses (including stock-based compensation and employee taxes and benefits) for employees engaged in research and development activities as well as third-party fees. All such costs are expensed as incurred. We focus our research and development efforts on activities that support our technology infrastructure, clinical program development, data analytics and network development capabilities. Research and development costs are recorded within cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Reserves for Claims and Performance-based Arrangements

Reserves for claims and performance-based arrangements reflect estimates of 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. See Note 20 for additional discussion regarding our reserves for claims and performance-based arrangements.

Right of Offset

Certain customer arrangements give the Company the legal right to net payment for amounts due from customers and claims payable. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately 63% and 57%, respectively, of gross accounts receivable has been netted against claims payable in lieu of cash receipt. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2024, approximately 22% of our accounts receivable, net could ultimately be settled on a net basis, once the criteria for netting have been met. Additionally, the Company offsets its accounts receivable and claims reserve under its total cost of care management solution.

Leases

The Company enters into various office space, data center and equipment lease agreements in conducting its normal business operations. At the inception of any contract, the Company evaluates the agreement to determine whether the contract contains a lease. If the contract contains a lease, the Company then evaluates the term and whether the lease is an operating or finance lease. Most leases includeone or more options to renew or may have a termination option. The Company determines whether these options are reasonably certain to be exercised at the inception of the lease. The rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the terms of the respective leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Further, the Company treats all lease and non-lease components as a single combined lease component for all classes of underlying assets.

The Company also enters into sublease agreements for some of its leased office space. Rental income attributable to subleases is immaterial and is offset against rent expense over the terms of the respective leases.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, which include operating lease right-of-use asset assets, for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying values are reduced to the estimated fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows and external market data, as applicable.

The Company terminated a portion of its previous headquarters lease in Arlington, VA effective December 31, 2023 and recognized the impact of a $6.5 million termination penalty in its operating lease liability - current on its consolidated balance sheet. The termination payment consisted oftwo payments of $3.25 million, one payment was paid on October 1, 2023 and the other was paid on April 1, 2024. In addition, the Company terminated the remainder of its previous headquarters lease in Arlington, VA effective March 27, 2024 and recognized the impact of a $3.5 million termination penalty in its operating lease liability - current on its consolidated balance sheet. The termination payment of $3.5 million was paid on April 1, 2024.

Refer to Note 11 for additional lease disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

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.

We use the following 5-step model, outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), to determine revenue recognition from our contracts with customers:

Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Determine the transaction price

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

See Note 5 for further discussion of our policies related to revenue recognition.

Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Shares

In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the shares of Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Shares are classified within temporary equity, as events outside the Company’s control triggers such shares to become redeemable. Costs associated with the issuance of redeemable preferred stock are presented as discounts to the fair value of the redeemable preferred stock and are amortized using the effective interest method, over the term of the respective series of preferred shares. Refer to Note 12 - Convertible Preferred Equity for further discussion.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), which enhances the disclosures required for operating segments in the Company's annual and interim consolidated financial statements, including those companies with a single operating segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes requirements that an entity disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that are greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. The standard also requires that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) each disaggregated between domestic and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures.

Note 4. Transactions

Business Combinations

National Imaging Associates Inc.

On January 20, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of NIA, including all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of NIA as well as certain assets held by Magellan Health, Inc.

(1)Goodwill acquired does not include $1.0 million of measurement period adjustments or of $2.4 million in reductions due to goodwill written off upon disposal of non-strategic assets subsequent to March 31, 2023.

The fair value of the receivables acquired, as shown in the table above, approximates the gross contractual amounts and is expected to be collectible in full. Identifiable intangible assets associated with customer relationships, technology and the corporate trade name will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their preliminary estimated useful lives of 15 years,5 years, and 2 years, respectively. The customer relationships are primarily attributable to existing contracts with current customers. The technology consists primarily of proprietary software that supports NIA’s core business applications and specialty business. The corporate trade name reflects the value that we believe the NIA brand name carries in the market, however due to organization changes we will retire the NIA trade name by December 2024. The fair value of the intangible assets was determined using the income approach and the relief from royalty approach. The income approach estimates fair value for an asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. Projected cash flows are discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money. The relief from royalty approach estimates the fair value of an asset by calculating how much an entity would have to spend to lease a similar asset. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the total consideration and the fair value of the net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits that we expect to achieve as a result of the acquisition. The Company received carryover tax basis in the assets and liabilities acquired; accordingly, the Company recognized net deferred tax liabilities associated with the difference between the book basis and the tax basis for the assets and liabilities acquired. The goodwill isnot deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, a tax benefit of $56.1 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2023, to account for the valuation allowance release primarily related to the acquired intangible assets, which resulted in a deferred tax liability that provided a source of income supporting realization of other deferred tax assets.

Note 5. Revenue Recognition

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 consideration is estimated using the most likely amount based on our historical experience and best judgment at the time. 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 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. Our revenue includes certain services which are billed on a per-case basis.

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.

Principal vs. Agent

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.

Total$639,653$427,690

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

For contracts with a term greater than one year, we have allocated approximately $38.6 million of transaction price to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of March 31, 2024. We do not include variable consideration that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation accounted for under the series guidance in the calculation. As a result, the balance represents the value of the fixed consideration in our long-term contracts that we expect will be recognized as revenue in a future period and excludes the majority of our revenue, which is primarily derived based on variable consideration as discussed in Note 2. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 53% and 100% of these remaining performance obligations by December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. However, because our existing contracts may be canceled or renegotiated including for reasons outside our control, the amount of revenue that we actually receive may be more or less than this estimate and the timing of recognition may not be as expected.

Contract Balances

Contract balances consist of accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue. Contract assets are recorded when the right to consideration for services is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets relating to unbilled receivables are transferred to accounts receivable when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. We classify contract assets as current or non-current based on the timing of our rights to the unconditional payments. Our contract assets are generally classified as current and recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Our current accounts receivables are classified within accounts receivable, net on our consolidated balance sheets and our non-current accounts receivable are classified within prepaid expenses and other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred revenue includes advance customer payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. We classify deferred revenue as current or non-current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. Our current deferred revenue is recorded within deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets and non-current deferred revenue is recorded within other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and deferred revenue from contracts with customers as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Short-term receivables (1)$426,561$446,220
Short-term deferred revenue6,1365,976
Long-term deferred revenue8791,173

(1)Excludes pharmacy rebate receivable and pharmacy claims receivable.

Changes in deferred revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

Deferred revenue
Balance as of beginning-of-period$7,149
Reclassification to revenue, as a result of performance obligations satisfied(3,277)
Cash received in advance of satisfaction of performance obligations3,143
Balance as of end of period$7,015

The amount of revenue, excluding customer discounts of $1.3 million, recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in a previous period was $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due primarily to net gain share as well as changes in other estimates.

Contract Cost Assets

Certain bonuses and commissions earned by our sales team are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer that we expect to be recoverable. The capitalized contract acquisition costs are classified as non-current assets and recorded within contract cost assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $3.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of contract acquisition cost assets, net of accumulated amortization recorded in contract cost assets on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In our revenue contracts, we incur certain costs related to the implementation of our platform before we begin to satisfy our performance obligation to the customer. The costs, which we expect to recover, are considered costs to fulfill a contract. Our contract fulfillment costs primarily include our employee labor costs and third-party vendor costs. The capitalized contract fulfillment costs are classified as non-current and recorded within contract cost assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense is recorded within cost of revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $9.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of contract fulfillment cost assets, net of accumulated amortization recorded in contract cost assets on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company recorded amortization expense including the acceleration of amortization of contract costs for certain customers of $0.9 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

These costs are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we have determined to be the shorter of the contract term orfive years. The period of benefit is based on our technology, the nature of our partner arrangements and other factors.

Note 6. Credit Losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our accounts receivable from revenue transactions, investments held at amortized cost and other notes receivable. We estimate expected credit losses based on past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Expected credit losses are measured over the remaining contractual life of these assets. As part of our consideration of current and forward-looking economic conditions, current inflationary pressures on our customers’ and other third parties’ ability to pay, we did observe notable decreases in delinquencies with certain partners’ mainly due to timing of payments which resulted in a lower provision for credit losses of during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Accounts Receivable from Revenue Transactions

Accounts receivable represent the amounts owed to the Company for goods or services provided to customers or third parties. Current accounts receivables are classified within accounts receivable, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, while non-current accounts receivables are classified within prepaid expenses and other noncurrent assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

We monitor our ongoing credit exposure through active review of counterparty balances against contract terms, due dates and business strategy. Our activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution and payment confirmation. In addition, the Company will establish a general reserve based on delinquency rates. Historical loss rates are determined for each delinquency bucket in 30-day past-due intervals and then applied to the composition of the reporting date balance based on delinquency. The allowance implied from application of the historical loss rates is then adjusted, as necessary, for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The following table compiles the percentages of outstanding accounts receivable based on our aging analysis of our trade accounts receivable, non-trade accounts receivable and contract assets (in thousands):

The net book value of capitalized internal-use software development costs was $69.4 million and $70.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $7.5 million and $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively, of which amortization expense related to capitalized internal-use software development costs was $6.3 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 ,and 2023 respectively.

Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill has an estimated indefinite life and is not amortized; rather, it is reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Our annual goodwill impairment review occurs on October 31 of each fiscal year. We evaluate qualitative factors that could cause us to believe the estimated fair value of our reporting unit may be lower than the carrying value and trigger a quantitative assessment, including, but not limited to (i) macroeconomic conditions, (ii) industry and market considerations, (iii) our overall financial performance, including an analysis of our current and projected cash flows, revenues and earnings, (iv) a sustained decrease in share price and (v) other relevant entity-specific events including changes in management, strategy, partners, or litigation.

We did not identify any qualitative factors that would trigger a quantitative goodwill impairment test during thethree months ended March 31, 2024. We will perform our annual impairment test of October 31, 2024.

2023 Goodwill Impairment Test

On October 31, 2023, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment review for fiscal year 2023. In addition, the Company underwent organizational changes which required a reassessment of reporting units. As a result, the Company determined it hasone reporting unit due to the economic similarity of the services provided to our partners. Based on our qualitative assessment, we did not identify sufficient indicators of impairment that would suggest the fair value of our reporting unit was below its respective carrying values. As a result, a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis was not required.

As part of the organizational changes as a result of growth in our value-based specialty care business, we will sunset several corporate trade names and replace them with Evolent signifying our adoption and launch of a unified brand. As a result, we accelerated amortization such that all corporate trade names will be fully amortized by December 2024.

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate the Company may not be able to recover the assets’ carrying value. We did not identify any circumstances during the three months ended March 31, 2024, that would require an impairment test for our intangible assets.

Note 9. Long-term Debt

Terms of Convertible Senior Notes

All 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes will mature on the date in the table below, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their respective terms prior to such date. As of October 13, 2023, no 2024 Notes remained outstanding.

The Convertible Senior Notes are recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their net carrying values. All of our Convertible Senior Notes also have embedded conversion options and contingent interest provisions, which have not been recorded as separate financial instruments and their fair values are Level 2 inputs. Refer to Note 17 for additional discussion on the fair value classifications of our Convertible Senior Notes.

The 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company's Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's Class A common stock, at the Company's election, based on an initial conversion rate of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of the Company’s Class A common stock. In the aggregate, the 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes are initially convertible into 20.3 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The conversion rate may be adjusted under certain circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, at the Company’s election.

We incurred $11.6 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the 2029 Notes.

2022 Credit Agreement

On August 1, 2022 (the “IPG Closing Date”), the Company entered into a credit agreement, by and among the Company, Evolent Health LLC, as the borrower (the “ Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares”), as administrative agent, collateral agent and revolver agent (the “Existing Credit Agreement” and as modified by the Amendment (defined below), the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the lenders agreed to extend credit to the Borrower in the form of (i) initial term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Initial Revolving Facility”), the availability of which shall be determined by reference to the lesser of $50.0 million and a borrowing base calculation.

The Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Credit Facilities are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the capital stock of each borrower and guarantor (other than the Company) and substantially all of the assets of each borrower and guarantor, subject to certain customary exceptions.

All loans under the Credit Facilities will mature on the date that is the earliest of (a) the sixth anniversary of the NIA Closing Date, (b) the date on which the commitments are voluntarily terminated pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, (c) the date on which all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement have been declared or have automatically become due and payable under the terms of the Credit Agreement and (d) the date that is ninety-one (91) days prior to the maturity date of any Junior Debt (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) unless certain liquidity conditions are satisfied.

The interest rate for the Loans is calculated, at the option of the Borrowers, (a) in the case of the Term Loan Facility, at either the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 6.00%, or the base rate plus 5.00% and (b) in the case of the Revolving Facility, at either the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus 4.00%, or the base rate plus 3.00%.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities may be prepaid at the option of the Company, subject to the following prepayment premium (the “Prepayment Premium”) (subject to certain thresholds and carve outs): (1)3.00% of the principal amount so prepaid after the NIA Closing Date but prior to the first anniversary of the NIA Closing Date; (2)2.00% of the principal amount so prepaid after the first anniversary of the closing but prior to the second anniversary of the NIA Closing Date; (3)1.00% of the principal amount so prepaid after the second anniversary of the NIA Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the NIA Closing Date; and (4)0.00% of the principal amount so prepaid on or after the third anniversary of the NIA Closing Date. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility are subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events and conditions, including non-ordinary course asset dispositions, receipt of certain casualty proceeds, issuances of certain debt obligations and a change of control transaction, in each case, subject to application of the Prepayment Premium. The Prepayment Premium is also applicable upon any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan Facility and any voluntary reduction or termination in the Revolving Facility.

The Borrowers will pay an unused line fee equal to 0.50% times the result of (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility, less (ii) the average Revolving Facility usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof), which fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter from and after the IPG Closing Date and on the date on which (X) the Credit Facilities are paid in full in cash and (y) the Revolving Facility is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Facilities contain customary borrowing conditions, affirmative, negative and reporting covenants, representations and warranties, and events of default, including cross-defaults to other material indebtedness. If an event of default occurs, the lenders would be entitled to take enforcement action, including foreclosure on collateral and acceleration of amounts owed under the Loans. We incurred $14.6 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Loans, which was included in long-term debt, net of discount on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized into interest expense over the life of the Credit Agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company prepaid $37.5 million under the Revolving Facility and $415.0 million of the Term Loan Facility that was utilized to acquire IPG and NIA. The total amount paid to Ares under the Credit Agreement in connection with the prepayment was $434.8 million, which included $415.0 million of principal, $9.1 million in accrued interest and $10.7 million in prepayment premium. As of March 31, 2024, there is $37.5 million outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Facility.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was party to irrevocable standby letters of credit with a bank for $18.0 million and $17.9 million, respectively, for the benefit of regulatory authorities, real estate and risk-sharing agreements. As such, we held $18.6 million and $18.4 million, respectively, in restricted cash and restricted investments as collateral as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, inclusive of accrued interest. The letters of credit have current expiration dates between November 2024 and December 2025 and will automatically extend without amendment for an additionalone-year period and will continue to automatically extend after eachone-year term from the expiry date unless the bank elects not to extend beyond the initial or any extended expiry date.

Indemnifications

The Company’s customer agreements generally include a provision by which the Company agrees to defend its partners against third-party claims (a) for death, bodily injury, or damage to personal property caused by Company negligence or willful misconduct, (b) by former or current Company employees arising from such managed service agreements, (c) for intellectual property infringement under specified conditions and (d) for Company violation of applicable laws, and to indemnify them against any damages and costs awarded in connection with such claims. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnities and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Guarantees

On July 16, 2020, EVH Passport, Evolent Health LLC and Molina Healthcare, Inc. (“Molina”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Molina APA”), which contemplated the sale by EVH Passport to Molina of certain assets, including certain intellectual property rights of EVH Passport and EVH Passport’s rights under the UHC’s Kentucky Medicaid Contract (the “Passport Medicaid Contract”). On September 1, 2020, EVH Passport and Molina consummated the transactions contemplated by the Molina APA (the “Molina Closing”) and the Passport Medicaid Contract was novated to Molina. In connection with the Molina Closing, the Company continued to provide administrative support services relating to the Passport Medicaid Contract to Molina through the end of 2020. Following the Molina Closing, EVH Passport began working with regulatory authorities including the Kentucky Department of Insurance (“KY DOI”) regarding the wind down of its operations throughout 2021, 2022 and a portion of 2023. The wind down process is now complete and on October 10, 2023, the KY DOI approved our application to surrender our certificate of authority. As part of that wind down process, the Company, as the parent of EVH Passport, entered into a guarantee for the benefit of the KY DOI to satisfy any EVH Passport liability or obligation in the event EVH Passport is not able to meet its wind down liabilities or obligations. As of March 31, 2024, no amounts have been funded under this guarantee.

UPMC Reseller Agreement

The Company and UPMC are parties to a reseller, services and non-competition agreement, dated August 31, 2011, which was amended and restated by the parties on June 27, 2013 (as amended through the date hereof, the “UPMC Reseller Agreement”). Under the terms of the UPMC Reseller Agreement, UPMC has appointed the Company as a non-exclusive reseller of certain services, subject to certain conditions and limitations specified in the UPMC Reseller Agreement. In consideration for the Company’s obligations under the UPMC Reseller Agreement and subject to certain conditions described therein, UPMC has agreed not to sell certain products and services directly to a defined list of 20 of the Company’s customers.

Tax Receivables Agreement

In connection with the Offering Reorganization, the Company entered into the Tax Receivables Agreement (the “TRA”) with certain of its investors, which provides for the payment by the Company to these investors of 85% of the amount of the tax benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of increases in our tax basis related to exchanges of Class B common units as well as tax benefits attributable to the future utilization of pre-IPO NOLs.

The Company recognized a TRA liability of $108.1 million and $107.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded an immaterial increase in the TRA liability.

We will assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each reporting period, and a change in our estimate of our liability associated with the tax receivable agreement may result as additional information becomes available, including results of operations in future periods. The total amount of the TRA liability may vary due to changes in federal and state income tax rates and availability of net operating losses.

Contingencies

Litigation Matters

We are engaged from time to time in certain legal disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, including employment claims. When the likelihood of a loss contingency becomes probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the loss contingency. We continue to review accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained, and our views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in our accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made.

On June 8, 2021, a shareholder of the Company filed a derivative action in the Delaware Chancery Court against some current and former Board members and against the Company as a nominal defendant, alleging that the Company’s Board was negligent in its oversight of the Company’s relationship with University Healthcare, Inc d/b/a Passport Health Plan. The case is Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund, derivatively on behalf of Evolent Health, Inc., v. Blackley, Williams, Scott, Holder, Farner, D’Amato, Duffy, Felt, Samet, Hobart, and Payson, and Evolent Health, Inc. (“Derivative Action”). The Company and the Director-Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on August 27, 2021, and Plaintiffs responded by filing an amended complaint on October 26, 2021. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on December 17, 2021. Plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the case without prejudice, which was granted by the Delaware Chancery Court on January 5, 2023. On April 6, 2023, a shareholder of the Company sent a letter to the Company’s Board (the “Demand”) requesting that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), among other things, investigate alleged wrongdoing and commence litigation for breach of fiduciary duty against the individuals named as defendants in the Derivative Action. The Board considers it appropriate to investigate, evaluate, and consider the issues and matters raised in the Demand, and are working with outside counsel to do so. On February 15, 2024, the Board, following careful deliberation, responded that it was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to refuse to take the actions, including commencing litigation, that were made in the Demand. The Company cannot currently estimate the loss or the range of possible losses it may experience in connection with this request.

Credit and Concentration Risk

The Company is subject to significant concentrations of credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2024, approximately 98.6% of our $233.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments were held in either bank deposits with FDIC participating banks or overnight sweep accounts invested in money-market funds and approximately 1.4% were held in international banks. While the Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit ratings, it often maintains these deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company is closely monitoring ongoing events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally. The Company has not experienced any realized losses on cash and cash equivalents to date; however, no assurances can be provided.

The Company is also subject to significant concentration of accounts receivable risk as a substantial portion of our trade accounts receivable is derived from a small number of our partners. The following table summarizes the partners who represented at least 10.0% of our consolidated short-term trade accounts receivable, excluding pharmacy claims receivable and premiums receivable:

March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Cook County Health and Hospitals System43.3%46.9%
Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services10.6%*
  • Represents less than 10.0% of the respective balance.

In addition, the Company is subject to significant concentration of revenue risk as a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of contractual relationships with our partners.

The following table summarizes those partners who represented at least 10.0% of our consolidated revenue:

For the Three Months EndedMarch 31,
20242023
Humana Insurance Company21.6%*
Florida Blue Medicare, Inc.12.7%11.9%
Cook County Health and Hospitals System11.4%17.2%
Molina Healthcare, Inc.11.2%13.2%
  • Represents less than 10.0% of the respective balance

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from our largest partners. The loss, termination or renegotiation of our relationship or contract with any significant partner or multiple partners in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Note 11. Leases

The Company enters into various office space, data center, and equipment lease agreements in conducting its normal business operations. At the inception of any contract, the Company evaluates the agreement to determine whether the contract contains a lease. If the contract contains a lease, the Company then evaluates the term and whether the lease is an operating or finance lease. Most leases includeone or more options to renew or may have a termination option. The Company determines whether these options are reasonably certain to be exercised or not at the inception of the lease. In addition, some leases contain escalation clauses. The rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the term of the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Further, the Company treats all lease and non-lease components as a single combined lease component for all classes of underlying assets. The Company also enters into sublease agreements for some of its leased office space. Immaterial rental income attributable to subleases is offset against rent expense over the terms of the respective leases.

The Company leases office space and computer and other equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates. Under the lease agreements, in addition to base rent, the Company is generally responsible for operating and maintenance costs and related fees. Several of these agreements include tenant improvement allowances, rent holidays or rent escalation clauses. When such items are included in a lease agreement, we record such items in right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets equal to the difference between rent expense and future minimum lease payments due. The rent expense related to these items is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company’s primary office location is in Arlington, Virginia with a lease that expires in December 2030.

In connection with various lease agreements, the Company is required to maintain $2.2 million and $2.1 million in letters of credit as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held $2.2 million and $2.1 million in restricted cash and restricted investments on the consolidated balance sheet as collateral for the letters of credit, respectively.

The Company terminated a portion of its previous headquarters lease in Arlington, VA effective December 31, 2023 and recognized the impact of a $6.5 million termination penalty in its operating lease liability - current on its consolidated balance sheet. The termination payment consisted oftwo payments of $3.25 million that were paid on October 1, 2023 and April 1, 2024. In addition, the Company terminated the remainder of its previous headquarters lease in Arlington, VA effective March 27, 2024 and recognized the impact of a $3.5 million termination penalty in its operating lease liability - current on its consolidated balance sheet. The termination payment of $3.5 million was paid on April 1, 2024.

Note 12. Convertible Preferred Equity

In connection with the NIA closing, on January 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (Series A Convertible Preferred Shares) with the Purchasers listed on Schedule I thereto (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company offered and sold to the Purchasers an aggregate 175,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $960.00 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to the Company of $168.0 million. The proceeds from the offer and sale of the Series A Preferred Stock were used, together with the proceeds from the Incremental Revolving Facility and Incremental Term Loan Facility, to finance the cash consideration payable at Closing and pay transaction fees and expenses.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior with respect to dividend and liquidation rights to the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share and all future series of the Company’s preferred stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share.

Regular dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be paid quarterly in cash in arrears at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the of the Series A Preferred Stock filed by the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 19, 2023 (the “Certificate of Designation”)) plus 6.00%. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock will increase on the last day of each calendar quarter by the amount of any accrued and unpaid regular dividends that have not been paid in cash on the relevant dividend payment date. The regular dividend rate will also increase by 2.0% per annum upon the occurrence and during the continuance of certain triggering events, including a breach of the protective covenants contained in the Investor Rights Agreement or the Company’s failure to pay any regular dividends in cash. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to participate in and receive any dividends declared or paid on the Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock has the right, at its option, to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock at an initial conversion price per share of $40.00 of the then-current liquidation preference per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any matters, except as required by law and for certain consent rights set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

The Company may not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at its option prior to January 20, 2025. At any time on or after January 20, 2025, the Company may redeem any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for cash at a redemption price per share equal to 165.00% of the then-current liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed.

If not earlier redeemed, at any time on or after January 20, 2030, at the request of the holders of a majority of the convertible preferred stock, the Company will redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for cash at a redemption price per share equal to 150.00% of the then-current liquidation preference per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed.

Upon the occurrence of a refinancing or replacement of the entirety of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement prior to its maturity that is provided solely by lenders who are not affiliates or approved funds of Ares, the Company will be required to redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for cash at a redemption price per share equal to 165.00% of the then-current liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed, plus, solely in the event such refinancing or replacement is consummated prior to January 20, 2025, the aggregate amount of dividends per share which would have otherwise been payable on the Series A Preferred Stock from the date of redemption until January 20, 2025.

If the Company undergoes a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Company will be required to redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for cash at a price per share equal to the greater of (x)150.00% of the then-current liquidation preference per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, if such redemption occurs prior to January 20, 2025, and 135.00% of the then-current liquidation preference per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, if such redemption occurs on or after January 20, 2025, and (y) the value of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, which value shall be determined based on the value attributed to the Class A Common Stock in connection with such Change of Control.

In connection with the NIA closing, the Company entered into an Investors Rights Agreement with the Purchasers named in Schedule I thereto (the “Investors Rights Agreement”). The Investors Rights Agreement contains certain restrictions on the transfer of the Series A Preferred Stock and certain protective covenants in favor of the Purchasers. These covenants include, among other things, covenants limiting the incurrence of Funded Debt (as defined in the Investors Rights Agreement), the ability to make restricted payments and the ability to issue additional indebtedness senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Each of these covenants is subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Investors Rights Agreement.

In connection with the NIA closing, on January 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Stockholders named in Schedule I thereto, which granted certain registration rights to Ares in respect of the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Company accreted $2.9 million of deferred issuance costs and redemption value in excess of par value in additional paid-in- capital on the consolidated balance sheets for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company paid dividends related to the Series A Preferred Stock as presented below during the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Note 15. Income Taxes

We have historically calculated the provision (benefit) for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to ordinary income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. We have used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We determined that since small changes in estimated ordinary income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

An income tax provision (benefit) of $0.6 million and $(68.2) million was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively, which resulted in effective tax rates of (3.4)% and 77.3%, respectively. The income tax expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily relates to state and foreign taxes. The income tax benefit recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily relates to the reduction in the valuation allowance resulting from deferred tax liabilities established as part of the NIA acquisition accounting, partially offset by state and foreign taxes.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.7 million that, if recognized, would affect the overall effective tax rate. The Company is not currently subject to income tax audits in any U.S., state, or foreign jurisdictions for any tax year.

Tax Receivables Agreement

In connection with the Offering Reorganization, the Company entered into the TRA with certain of its investors, which provides for the payment by the Company to these investors of 85% of the amount of the tax benefits that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of increases in our tax basis related to exchanges of Class B common units as well as tax benefits attributable to the future utilization of pre-IPO NOLs. See Note 10 above for discussion of our TRA.

Note 16. Investments and Equity Method Investees

The Company holds ownership interests in joint ventures and other entities which are accounted for under the equity method. Our joint ventures may include put or call features under which we could be forced to extend purchase or buy interests from our joint venture partner. The Company evaluates its interests in these entities to determine whether they meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is required to consolidate these entities. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether or not a variable interest the Company holds could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of the Company's involvement with the VIE. The Company has determined that its interests in these entities meet the definition of a variable interest, however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct activities, therefore, the Company did not consolidate the VIEs.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s economic interests in its equity method investments ranged between 4% and 34%, and voting interests in its equity method investments ranged between 25% and 34%. The Company determined that it has significant influence over these entities but that it does not have control over any of the entities. Accordingly, the investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the Company is allocated its proportional share of the entities’ earnings and losses for each reporting period. The Company’s proportional share of the gain from these investments was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company signed services agreements with certain of the aforementioned entities to provide certain management, operational and support services to help manage elements of their service offerings. Revenue related to these services agreements were $3.8 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Investments

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to invest $3.0 million in future equity notes. Investment in future equity notes without readily determinable fair values are accounted for as cost method investments. The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative to measure the investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not record any unrealized gains or losses resulting from observable price changes of future equity notes without readily determinable fair values. As of March 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the investment was $3.0 million.

Note 17 . Fair Value Measurement

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date;

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date and the fair value can be determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies; and

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the particular asset or liability being measured. These items are recorded in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with GAAP, certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

(1)Represents the earn-out consideration related to the NIA transaction as described in Note 4 and was paid in cash in April 2024.

The Company recognizes any transfers between levels within the hierarchy as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

In the absence of observable market prices, the fair value is based on the best information available and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of internal and external factors, including the appropriate risk adjustments for non-performance and liquidity risks.

The acquisition of NIA includes a provision for additional equity consideration, at the Company’s option, contingent upon the Company obtaining certain performance metrics. The earnout period for the NIA contingent consideration is the year ending December 31, 2023 and the earnout was paid in cash during the second quarter of 2024.

The changes in our liabilities measured at fair value for which the Company uses Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are as follows (in thousands):

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

In addition to the assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. This includes assets and liabilities recorded in business combinations or asset acquisitions, goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, held-to-maturity investments and equity method investments. While not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, these items are continually monitored for indicators of impairment that would indicate current carrying value is greater than fair value. In those situations, the assets are considered impaired and written down to current fair value.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (those not held in a money market fund), restricted cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued compensation approximate their fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these items and financial instruments.

See Note 9 for information regarding the fair value of the 2025 and 2029 Notes.

Note 18. Related Parties

The entities described below are considered related parties and the balances and/or transactions with them are reported in our consolidated financial statements.

The Company had an economic relationship through the ordinary course of business with an entity whose President and Chief Executive Officer was a member of our Board until his retirement from the Board in February 2024, that accounted for the majority of our related party revenue and cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As discussed in Note 16, the Company had economic interests in several entities that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company has allocated its proportional share of the investees’ earnings and losses each reporting period. In addition, Evolent has entered into services agreements with certain of the entities to provide certain management, operational and support services to help the entities manage elements of their service offerings.

Note 19. Repositioning and Other Changes

We continually assess opportunities to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency to better align our expenses with revenues, while continuing to make investments in our solutions, systems and people that we believe are important to our long-term goals.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company implemented a broad set of repositioning initiatives designed to further align the Company’s assets and talent towards the value-based specialty care opportunity, with the intent of streamlining its operations and supporting the goal of realizing long-term sustainable earnings growth (the “2023 Repositioning Plan’). These initiatives include making organizational changes across the business that resulted in severance, terminated benefits and related payroll taxes and dedicated employee costs associated with recent acquisitions as well as third-party professional fees. Dedicated employee costs primarily include project management and technology staff costs needed to migrate acquired businesses to Evolent’s integrated technology platform and costs related to the consolidation of brands, internal operations, strategies, processes and platforms. Dedicated employee costs are limited to employees that will have no role in ongoing operations and have no planned role at Evolent once the repositioning activities are completed. Professional services costs primarily relate to services provided by a third-party vendor to review our operating model and organizational design in order to improve our profitability, create value through our solutions and invest in strategic opportunities in future periods. Office space consolidation includes early termination penalties and associated expenses.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimates total repositioning charges of $48.8 million to be incurred during the life of “the 2023 Repositioning Plan” which will be recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The repositioning program is anticipated to be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of 2024.

The following table provides a summary of our total costs associated with our repositioning plans for the three months ended March 31, 2024, by major type of cost (in thousands):

Note 20. Reserve for Claims and Performance-Based Arrangements

The Company maintains reserves for its liabilities related to payments to providers and pharmacies under performance-based arrangements related to its specialty care management services solutions.

Reserves for claims and performance-based arrangements 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 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.

This liability predominately consists of incurred but not reported amounts and reported claims in process including expected development on reported claims. The liability for reserves related to its specialty care management services is calculated using "completion factors" developed by comparing the claim incurred date to the date claims were paid. Completion factors are impacted by several key items including changes in: 1) electronic (auto-adjudication) versus manual claim processing, 2) provider claims submission rates, 3) membership and 4) the mix of products.

The Company’s policy for reserves related to its specialty care management services solutions is to use historical completion factors combined with an analysis of current trends and operational factors to develop current estimates of completion factors. The Company estimates the liability for claims incurred in each month by applying the current estimates of completion factors to the current paid claims data. This approach implicitly assumes that historical completion rates will be a useful indicator for the current period.

For more recent months, and for newer lines of business where there is not sufficient paid claims history to develop completion factors, the Company expects to rely more heavily on medical cost trend and expected loss ratio analysis that reflects expected claim payment patterns and other relevant operational considerations, or authorization analysis. Medical cost trend is primarily impacted by medical service utilization and unit costs that are affected by changes in the level and mix of medical benefits offered, including inpatient, outpatient and pharmacy, the impact of copays and deductibles, changes in provider practices and changes in consumer demographics and consumption behavior. Authorization analysis projects costs based on authorizations per thousand members basis and assigning an average cost per authorization. This is also adjusted for the impact of copays, deductibles, unit cost and historic discontinuation rates for treatment are considered.

For each reporting period, the Company compares key assumptions used to establish the reserves for claims and performance-based arrangements to actual experience. When actual experience differs from these assumptions, reserves for claims and performance-based arrangements are adjusted through current period net income. Additionally, the Company evaluates expected future developments and emerging trends that may impact key assumptions. The process used to determine this liability requires the Company to make critical accounting estimates that involve considerable judgment, reflecting the variability inherent in forecasting future claim payments. These estimates are highly sensitive to changes in the Company's key assumptions, specifically completion factors and medical cost trends.
