Previous wording
Changes in the healthcare industry could affect the demand for our Solution, cause our existing contracts to be terminated, and negatively impact the process of negotiating future contracts.
Current wording
Changes in the healthcare industry have and could further affect the demand for our Solution, cause our existing contracts to be terminated, and/or negatively impact the process of negotiating future contracts.
Previous wording
General reductions in expenditures by healthcare organizations, or reductions in such expenditures within market segments that we serve, could have similar impacts with regard to our Solution. Such reductions may result from, among other things, reduced governmental funding for healthcare; a decrease in the number of, or the market exclusivity available to, new drugs coming to market; or adverse changes in business or economic conditions affecting healthcare payors or providers, the pharmaceutical industry, or other healthcare companies that purchase our services (e.g., changes in the design of health plans). In addition, changes in government regulation of the healthcare industry could potentially negatively impact our existing and future contracts. Any of these changes could reduce the purchase of our Solution by such clients, reducing our revenue and possibly requiring us to materially revise our offerings. In addition, our clients’ expectations regarding pending or potential industry developments may also affect their budgeting processes and spending plans with respect to our Solution.
Current wording
General reductions in expenditures by healthcare organizations, or reductions in such expenditures within market segments that we serve, have and could have further similar impacts with regard to our Solution. Such reductions may result from, among other things, reduced governmental funding for healthcare, cuts to government research funding, a decrease in the number of, or the market exclusivity available to, new drugs coming to market; or adverse changes in business or economic conditions affecting healthcare payors or providers, the pharmaceutical industry, or other healthcare companies that purchase our services (e.g., changes in the design of health plans). In addition, changes in government regulation of the healthcare industry could potentially negatively impact our existing and future contracts.

Macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, uncertainty with tariffs, actual or potential changes in the Medicaid and research funding environment, or market volatility and measures taken in response thereto), the tight labor market, and any natural disasters or new public health crises could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Current wording
Macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, uncertainty with tariffs, cuts in Medicaid and research funding, or market volatility and measures taken in response thereto), the tight labor market, and any natural disasters or new public health crises could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Previous wording
Recent macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, uncertainty with tariffs, actual or potential changes in the Medicaid and research funding environment, or market volatility and measures taken in response thereto), and the tight labor market continue to adversely affect workforces, organizations, governments, clients, economies, and financial markets globally and have disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including our business. These factors have and could further decrease healthcare industry spending, adversely affect demand for our Solution, cause one or more of our clients to file for bankruptcy protection or go out of business, cause one or more of our clients to fail to renew, terminate, or renegotiate their contracts, impact expected spending from new clients, negatively impact collections of accounts receivable, and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Previous wording
We cannot predict with any certainty whether and to what degree the disruption caused by any natural disasters, new public health crises, the high inflationary environment, rising interest rates, tariffs, actual or potential changes in the Medicaid and research funding environment, market volatility and measures taken in response thereto, and reactions to any of the foregoing will continue and expect to face difficulty accurately predicting our internal financial forecasts. Further, it is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of natural disasters, public health crises, and macroeconomic challenges (including the high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, tariffs and actual or potential changes in the Medicaid and research funding environment), and their effects on our business, results of operations, or financial condition at this time. Further, market volatility could lead to market-wide liquidity shortages, impair the ability of companies to access near-term working capital needs and create additional market and economic uncertainty. In the event of a failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position. Additionally, we are continuing to monitor the implications of any policy developments around potential Medicaid and research funding reductions, as well as implications of the evolving tariff landscape. These uncertainties in our end market could cause potential delays in client decisions.

We are continually executing a number of growth initiatives, strategies, and operating plans designed to enhance our business, as well as some cost reduction and restructuring initiatives. We may not be able to successfully complete these growth initiatives, strategies, operating plans, and cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, and realize all of the benefits, including growth targets and cost savings, that we expect to achieve or it may be more costly to do so than we anticipate. For example, the migration of existing clients using our DOS Solution to Health Catalyst Ignite involves risk and may cause disruptions to our Solution, difficulties as clients acclimate to a new platform, or other challenges that could impair our clients’ use of our technology, any of which could lead to client dissatisfaction, lower revenue, and non-renewals. Further, costs associated with the transition to Health Catalyst Ignite have and may continue to result in higher cost of technology revenue, which may not decrease over time

Moreover, largely as a result of recent funding cuts and the macroeconomic environment impacting our end market, Platform Clients that have or are planning to migrate to our Ignite platform have elected to retain the inherent savings, resulting in smaller bookings. Further, costs associated with the transition to Health Catalyst Ignite have and may continue to result in higher cost of technology revenue, which may not decrease over time
Previous wording
For example, on October 31, 2023, our board of directors authorized a reduction of our global workforce as part of a restructuring plan intended to optimize our cost structure and focus our investment of resources in key priority areas to align with strategic changes (2023 Restructuring Plan). The 2023 Restructuring Plan reduced our global workforce by approximately 10% during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Further, on January 25, 2025, our board of directors authorized another reduction of our global workforce as part of a restructuring plan intended to optimize our cost structure and focus our investment of resources in key priority areas to align with strategic changes (2025 Restructuring Plan). The 2025 Restructuring Plan reduced our global workforce by approximately 4% in the first quarter of 2025 and primarily focused on R&D and professional services.
Current wording
Further, our board of directors authorized a reduction of our global workforce on January 25, 2025 (the January 2025 Restructuring Plan) and an additional reduction of our global workforce on August 5, 2025 (the August 2025 Restructuring Plan). The January 2025 Restructuring Plan and the August 2025 Restructuring Plan are separate restructuring plans, each intended to optimize our cost structure and focus our investment of resources in key priority areas to align with strategic changes. The January 2025 Restructuring Plan reduced our global workforce by approximately 4% in the first quarter of 2025 and primarily focused on R&D and professional services. The August 2025 Restructuring Plan will reduce our global workforce by approximately 9%, with the vast majority occurring in the third quarter of 2025, and is primarily focused on R&D and sales and marketing.

Information services as complex as those we offer have, in the past, contained, and may in the future develop or contain, undetected defects, vulnerabilities, or errors. We cannot be assured that material performance problems or defects in our software or software provided by our vendors will not arise in the future. Errors may result from sources beyond our control, including the receipt, entry, or interpretation of patient information; the interface of our software with legacy systems or vendor systems that we did not develop; or errors in data provided by third parties. Despite testing, defects or errors may arise in our existing or new software or service processes following introduction to the market. Clients rely on our Solution to collect, manage, and report clinical, financial, and operational data, and to provide timely and accurate information regarding medical treatment and care delivery patterns. They may have a greater sensitivity to service errors and security vulnerabilities than clients of software products in general. Clinicians may also refer to our predictive models for care delivery prioritization, and to inform treatment protocols.

Previous wording
The market for healthcare in the United States is in the early stages of structural change and is rapidly evolving, including towards a more value-based care model. Our success depends on our ability to keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated client and user requirements, and sustain market acceptance. Our future financial performance will depend in part on growth in this market and on our ability to adapt to emerging demands of this market, including adapting to the ways our clients or users access and use our Solution. Although we have built several new software analytics applications in the last few years, we may not be able to sustain this rate of innovation and/or the new software analytics applications may not meet the evolving needs of our clients. Our competitors are constantly developing products and services that may become more efficient or appealing to our clients or users. As a result, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and development in order to enhance our existing services and applications, and introduce new high-quality services and applications that clients will want, while offering our Solution at competitive prices. If we are unable to predict user preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to maintain and improve our Solution on a timely or cost-effective basis, we may lose clients and users. Our results of operations would also suffer if our innovations are not responsive to the needs of our clients, are not appropriately timed with market opportunity, or are not effectively brought to market, including as the result of delayed releases or releases that are ineffective or have errors or defects. As technology continues to develop, our competitors may be able to offer results that are, or that are perceived to be, substantially similar to, or better than, those generated by our Solution. This may force us to compete on additional service attributes and to expend significant resources in order to remain competitive.

We expect that future contracts will contain similar provisions. If any of our contracts with our clients are terminated, we may not be able to recover all fees due under the terminated contract and we will lose future revenue from that client, which may adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our clients may negotiate terms less advantageous to us upon renewal, which may reduce our revenue from these clients. Our future results of operations also depend, in part, on our ability to upgrade and enhance our Solution. If our clients fail to renew their contracts, renew their contracts upon less favorable terms, or at lower fee levels or fail to purchase new technology and services from us, our revenue may decline or our future revenue growth may be constrained.

Our Solution may be used by clients to support clinical decision-making by providers and interpret information about patient medical histories, treatment plans, medical conditions, and the use of particular medications. If our Solution is associated with faulty clinical decisions or treatment, then clients or their patients could assert claims against us that could result in substantial costs to us, harm our reputation in the industry, and cause demand for our Solution to decline. In addition, our analytics services may be used by our clients to inform clinical decision-making, provide access to patient medical histories, and assist in creating patient treatment plans. Therefore, if data analyses are presented incorrectly in our Solution or they are incomplete, or if we make mistakes in the capture or input of these data, adverse consequences, including death, may occur and give rise to product liability, medical malpractice liability, and other claims against us by clients, clinicians, patients, or others. We often have little control over data accuracy, yet a court or government agency may take the position that our storage and display of health information exposes us to personal injury liability or other liability for wrongful delivery or handling of healthcare services or erroneous health information.

Although we carry insurance covering medical malpractice claims in amounts that we believe are appropriate in light of the risks attendant to our business, successful medical liability claims could result in substantial damage awards that exceed the limits of our insurance coverage. In addition, professional liability insurance is expensive and insurance premiums may increase significantly in the future, particularly as we expand our Solution. As a result, adequate professional liability insurance may not be available to our providers or to us in the future at acceptable costs or at all.

In addition, any claims may adversely affect our business or reputation.

We expect that increased investment will be required in the future to continuously improve our use of AI Technologies. As with many technological innovations, there are significant risks involved in developing, maintaining, and deploying these technologies and there can be no assurance that the usage of or our investments in such technologies will always enhance our Solution, platform and service offerings or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability.

To continue to execute on our growth and operating plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel, and we may modify our compensation program and practices for our team members. Competition for such personnel is intense, especially for senior sales executives and software engineers with high levels of experience in designing and developing applications and consulting and analytics services. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, including due to changes to our compensation program or practices. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. For example, the 2023 Restructuring Plan, the 2025 Restructuring Plan and other restructurings may result in attrition beyond our intended reduction in force or may adversely impact our ability to recruit and hire qualified personnel in the future. In addition, our search for replacements for departed employees may cause uncertainty regarding the future of our business, impact employee hiring and retention, and adversely impact our revenue, results of operations, and financial condition. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. In addition, in making employment decisions, particularly in the Internet and high-technology industries, job candidates often consider the value of the equity awards they may receive in connection with their employment. Volatility in the price of our stock or failure to obtain stockholder approval for increases in the number of shares available for grant under our equity plans may, therefore, adversely affect our ability to attract or retain key employees. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.

We have experienced, and may continue to experience, rapid growth and organizational change, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational, and financial resources. In addition, if we fail to successfully integrate new team members or fail to effectively manage organizational changes, it could harm our culture, business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the expense reduction measures taken in connection with the 2023 Restructuring Plan or 2025 Restructuring Plan may result in unintended consequences and costs, including costs associated with attrition beyond our intended reduction in force, a decrease in morale among team members following the completion of the 2023 Restructuring Plan or 2025 Restructuring Plan, adverse impacts in our ability to recruit and hire qualified personnel in the future, and the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, which could result in losses in future periods or otherwise prevent us from realizing, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings from the 2023 Restructuring Plan or 2025 Restructuring Plan. In addition, we must continue to maintain, and may need to enhance, our information technology infrastructure and financial and accounting systems and controls, as well as manage expanded operations in geographically distributed locations, which may include offshore and near shore, which will place additional demands on our resources and operations. We also must attract, train, and retain a significant number of qualified sales and marketing personnel, professional services personnel, software engineers, technical personnel, service offering personnel, and management personnel. At times, this will require us to invest in and commit significant financial, operational, and management resources to grow and change in these areas without undermining the corporate culture that has been critical to our growth so far. If we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments or organizational changes, or if the realization of these benefits is delayed, our results of operations may be adversely affected. If we fail to provide effective client training on our Solution and high-quality client support, our business and reputation could suffer.

We have experienced periods of significant growth, including in the last five years. At times, our growth has moderated. Future revenue may not grow at the same rates experienced during times of significant growth or may decline. Further, revenue opportunities that include portions of our Solution with less operating history could cause our growth to become less predictable and/or choppier relative to prior periods. Our future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to grow our revenue from existing clients, to complete sales to potential future clients, to expand our client and member bases, to prevent churn of existing clients, and to develop new solutions, as well as our ability to acquire other companies, as we have done from time to time in the past.

•GDPR and foreign data privacy protection laws. In addition, many foreign governments have established or are in the process of establishing privacy and data security legal frameworks governing the collection, use and disclosure of personal information obtained from their residents. For example, in Europe, the GDPR went into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR imposes data protection requirements for processing the personal data of individuals within the European Economic Area (EEA) relating to the consent of the individuals to whom the personal data relates, the information provided to the individuals, the documentation we must retain, the security and confidentiality of the personal data, data breach notification and the use of third-party processors in connection with the processing of personal data. Companies that must comply with the GDPR face increased compliance obligations and risk, including more robust regulatory enforcement of data protection requirements and potential fines for noncompliance of up to €20 million or 4% of the annual global revenues of the noncompliant company, whichever is greater. The GDPR has increased our responsibility and potential liability in relation to personal data that we process, and we may be required to put in place mechanisms to ensure compliance with GDPR. In addition, the GDPR increases the scrutiny of transfers of personal data from the EEA to the United States and other jurisdictions that the European Commission does not recognize as having “adequate” data protection laws and the efficacy and longevity of current transfer mechanisms between the EEA and the United States remain uncertain. Case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) states that reliance on the standard contractual clauses - a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism - alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances and that transfers must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

•AI Technologies: In addition, we use AI Technologies in our business. The regulatory framework for AI Technologies is rapidly evolving as many federal, state, and foreign government bodies and agencies have introduced or are currently considering additional laws and regulations. Additionally, existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in ways that would affect the operation of AI Technologies. As a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet determine the impact future laws, regulations, standards, or market perception of their requirements may have on our business and may not always be able to anticipate how to respond to these laws or regulations. It is possible that new laws and regulations will be adopted in the United States and in other non-U.S. jurisdictions, or that existing laws and regulations, including competition and antitrust laws, may be interpreted in ways that would limit our ability to use AI Technologies for our business, or require us to change the way we use AI Technologies in a manner that negatively affects the performance of our products, services, and business and the way in which we use AI Technologies.

Previous wording
If we are unable to satisfy our debt obligations, we may be required to seek funds from external sources, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and which could intensify the risks related to our indebtedness and further restrict our operating and financial flexibility. Further, any repayment of our debt with equity would dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. In the event of a default on our debt obligations, amounts owed under our Term Loan Facility may be accelerated, and assets serving as collateral under our Term Loan Credit Facility may be subject to foreclosure. Any default under the Credit Agreement could also lead to a default under our future indebtedness and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Further, if we are liquidated, the lender’s rights to repayment would be senior to the rights of the holders of our common stock to receive any proceeds from the liquidation.
Current wording
Since inception, our business has generated net losses, and we may continue to incur significant losses. As a result, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make payments owed under the Term Loan Facility.

Despite testing, defects or errors may arise in our existing or new software or service processes following introduction to the market. Clients rely on our Solution to collect, manage, and report clinical, financial, and operational data, and to provide timely and accurate information regarding medical treatment and care delivery patterns. They may have a greater sensitivity to service errors and security vulnerabilities than clients of software products in general. Clinicians may also refer to our predictive models for care delivery prioritization, and to inform treatment protocols.

If we are unable to predict user preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to maintain and improve our Solution on a timely or cost-effective basis, we may lose clients and users. Our results of operations would also suffer if our innovations are not responsive to the needs of our clients, are not appropriately timed with market opportunity, or are not effectively brought to market, including as the result of delayed releases or releases that are ineffective or have errors or defects. As technology continues to develop, our competitors may be able to offer results that are, or that are perceived to be, substantially similar to, or better than, those generated by our Solution. This may force us to compete on additional service attributes and to expend significant resources in order to remain competitive.
