Previous wording

Further, the sales cycle for a new Platform Client, which we estimate to typically be approximately one year, could lengthen, as we experienced in 2022 and 2023, resulting in a potentially longer delay between increasing operating expenses and the generation of corresponding revenue, if any. While we have limited operating history selling Health Catalyst Ignite, we believe its sales cycle generally may be shorter than DOS.

Previous wording

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. 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

A variety of factors could cause us not to realize some or all of the expected benefits of our growth initiatives, strategies, operating plans or cost reduction and restructuring initiatives. These factors include, among others, delays in the anticipated timing of activities related to such growth initiatives, strategies, operating plans, and cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, increased difficulty and cost in implementing these efforts, including difficulties in complying with new regulatory requirements and the incurrence of other unexpected costs associated with operating the business.

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.

Previous 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.

We expect to derive a significant portion of our revenue from the renewal of existing client contracts and sales of additional technology and services to existing clients. As part of our growth strategy, for instance, we have recently focused on expanding our Solution among current clients, including Solutions with a more limited operating history, such as TEMS. As a result, selling additional technology and services is critical to our future business, revenue growth, and results of operations. Factors that may affect our ability to sell additional technology and services include, but are not limited to, the following:

Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our key executive officers and recruitment of additional highly skilled employees. From time to time, there may be changes in our senior management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. Several of our senior leaders are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. There is a risk that in the future, one or more of these individuals could receive a call to serve in a full-time capacity for the church, which has already occurred, including with our former Chief Operating Officer, Paul Horstmeier, who stepped down from his role of Chief Operating Officer effective March 31, 2023. Hiring executives with needed skills or the replacement of one or more of our executive officers or other key employees would likely involve significant time and costs and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.

In addition, competition for qualified management in our industry is intense. Many of the companies with which we compete for management personnel have greater financial and other resources than we do. We have not entered into term-based employment agreements with our executive officers. All of our employees are “at-will” employees, and their employment can be terminated by us or them at any time, for any reason. The departure of key personnel could adversely affect the conduct of our business.

In such event, we would be required to hire other personnel to manage and operate our business, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to employ a suitable replacement for the departing individual, or that a replacement could be hired on terms that are favorable to us. In addition, volatility or lack of performance in our stock price may affect our ability to attract replacements should key personnel depart. If we are not able to retain any of our key management personnel, our business could be harmed.

As of December 31, 2024, we had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $680.7 million and $571.6 million, respectively, which may be available to offset taxable income in the future, and which expire in various years beginning in 2032 for federal purposes if not utilized. The state NOLs will expire depending upon the various rules in the states in which we operate. A lack of future taxable income would adversely affect our ability to utilize these NOLs before they expire. In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” (as defined under Section 382 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations) is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs to offset its future taxable income.
