Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “Health Catalyst,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” and similar references refer to Health Catalyst, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. All statements other than statements of historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “design,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “would,” “target,” “project,” or “contemplate,” the negative of terms like these or other comparable terminology, and other words or terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of expectations, projections, plans, strategy, intentions, or future results of operations or financial performance. Forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K include, but are not limited to, statements about our:
ability to attract new clients and retain and expand our relationships with existing clients;
ability to expand our service offerings and develop new platform features;
future financial performance, including trends in revenue, costs of revenue, gross margin, and operating expenses;
ability to compete successfully in competitive markets;
ability to respond to rapid technological changes;
expectations and management of future growth;
ability to enter new markets and manage our expansion efforts, particularly internationally;
ability to attract and retain highly-qualified employees, whom we refer to as team members;
ability to effectively and efficiently protect our brand;
ability to timely scale and adapt our infrastructure;
ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property and not infringe upon others’ intellectual property;
ability to successfully identify, acquire, and integrate companies and assets;
expectations regarding our gross bookings; and
expectations regarding the impact of any macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, or market volatility caused by bank failures and measures taken in response thereto), natural disasters, or public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business and results of operations.
All forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are based on information available to us on the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or new information or the occurrence of any unanticipated events, except as required by law. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this document may turn out to be wrong. Actual events or results may differ materially. Our forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. We discuss many of these risks, uncertainties and other factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in greater detail under the subheading below “Summary of Risk Factors” as well as heading “Item 1A—Risk Factors.” We caution investors that our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.
Summary of Risk Factors
We operate in a highly competitive industry, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business and results of operations will be harmed.
We may be unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives, business strategies, or operating plans, as well as cost reduction and restructuring initiatives.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth and organizational change, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
Macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, or market volatility caused by bank failures and measures taken in response thereto) and any new public health crisis could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.Failure by our clients to obtain proper permissions and waivers may result in claims against us or may limit or prevent our use of data, which could harm our business.
If we do not continue to innovate and provide services that are useful to clients and users, we may not remain competitive, and our revenue and results of operations could suffer.
Our business could be adversely affected if our clients are not satisfied with our cloud-based data platform, software analytics applications, and professional services expertise (our Solution).
If our existing clients do not continue or renew their contracts with us, renew at lower fee levels or decline to purchase additional technology and services from us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our business and operations may suffer in the event of information technology system failures, cyberattacks, or deficiencies in our cybersecurity.
Actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable data protection, privacy and security laws, regulations, standards and other requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our Solution is dependent on our ability to source data from third parties, and such third parties could take steps to block our access to data, or increase fees or impose fees for such access, which could impair our ability to provide our Solution, limit the effectiveness of our Solution, or adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our results of operations have in the past fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly, and if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price and the value of an investment in our common stock could decline substantially.
Our pricing may change over time and our ability to efficiently price our Solution will affect our results of operations and our ability to attract or retain clients.
If our Solution fails to provide accurate and timely information, or if our content or any other element of our Solution is associated with faulty clinical decisions or treatment, we could have liability to clients, clinicians, patients, or others, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We rely on third-party providers, including Microsoft Azure, for computing infrastructure, network connectivity, and other technology-related services needed to deliver our Solution. Any disruption in the services provided by such third-party providers could adversely affect our business and subject us to liability.
We rely on Internet infrastructure, bandwidth providers, data center providers, other third parties, and our own systems for providing our Solution to our users, and any failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties or our own systems could expose us to litigation, potentially require us to issue credits to our clients, and negatively impact our relationships with users or clients, adversely affecting our brand and our business.
