Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- General Information and Basis of Accounting
General Information
We are a leading provider of data-driven cost management solutions that deliver transparency and promote fairness, quality and affordability to the U.S. healthcare industry. Through our proprietary data and technology platform, we provide out-of-network cost management, payment and revenue integrity, data and decision science, business-to-business healthcare payments and other services to the payors of healthcare, which are primarily health insurers and their administrative-services-only platforms, self-insured employers, federal and state government-sponsored health plans and other health plan sponsors (typically through their health plan administrators), and, indirectly, the plan members who are the consumers of healthcare services.
On February 17, 2025, the Company changed its name from "MultiPlan Corporation" to "Claritev Corporation". The Company's Class A common stock ceased trading under the ticker symbol “MPLN” and began trading under its new ticker symbol, “CTEV”, on the New York Stock Exchange, effective on February 28, 2025.
Throughout the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, "we," "us," "our," "Claritev," and the "Company" and similar terms refer to Claritev and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Claritev Corporation have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Claritev Corporation and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been included.
Reverse Stock Split
On September 20, 2024, the Company effected a one-for-forty (1-for-40) reverse stock split of its Class A common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split").
References to common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, share data, per share data and conversion rates with respect to convertible notes and related information contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from the Company's estimates and assumptions. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of stock-based compensation awards and income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents revenues disaggregated by services and contract types:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Revenues | ||
| Network-Based Services | $46,890 | $46,155 |
| PSAV | 28,882 | 31,222 |
| PEPM | 12,448 | 13,053 |
| Other | 5,560 | 1,880 |
| Analytics-Based Services | 153,430 | 160,092 |
| PSAV | 138,744 | 147,645 |
| PEPM | 10,731 | 9,400 |
| Other | 3,955 | 3,047 |
| Payment and Revenue Integrity Services | 31,010 | 28,261 |
| PSAV | 30,889 | 28,152 |
| PEPM | 121 | 109 |
| Total Revenues | $231,330 | $234,508 |
| Percent of PSAV revenues | 85.8% | 88.3% |
| Percent of PEPM revenues | 10.1% | 9.6% |
| Percent of other revenues | 4.1% | 2.1% |
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. For our percentage of savings contracts, portions of revenue that are recognized and collected in a reporting period may be returned or credited in subsequent periods. These credits are the result of payors not utilizing the discounts that were initially calculated, or differences between the Company’s estimates of savings achieved for a customer and the amounts self-reported in the following month by that same customer. Significant judgment is used in constraining estimates of variable consideration and is based upon both customer-specific and aggregated factors that include historical billing and adjustment data, customer contractual terms, and performance guarantees. We update our estimates at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. There have not been any material changes to estimates of variable consideration for performance obligations satisfied prior to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The timing of payments from customers from time to time generates contract assets or contract liabilities, however these amounts are immaterial in all periods presented.
Derivatives
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. In September 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert some of its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows.
The Company elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with authoritative guidance for the agreements entered into during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects "Earnings."
Stock-Based Compensation
In 2025, the Company began granting a new type of award via the Claritev Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan"), in the form of cash settled Restricted Stock Units ("cRSUs"). The Company granted 565.6 thousand shares with a fair value at grant date of $8.2 million. The cRSUs vest in two tranches, one-half on the first anniversary of the date of the grant, and the remaining one-half of the awarded units on the second anniversary of the date of the grant.
Each tranche of cRSUs is entitled to receive a cash payment equivalent to the fair market value of common stock on the vesting date, subject to a cap of 4.0 x the fair market value of common stock on the grant date.
The fair value assigned to cRSUs is determined using the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date minus a call option valued using the Black-Sholes formula to derive a closed-form solution for the payoff. Expected volatility in the model was estimated based on the volatility of historical stock prices over a period matching the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield constant maturities for a term matching the expected term of the award.
The Company classifies the cRSUs as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets as the vesting results in payment of cash by the Company. The cRSUs are adjusted to fair value at each reporting date.
Stock-based compensation is recognized as compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the applicable requisite service period of the stock award using the straight-line method for the awards. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
New Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this disclosure.
ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,2 which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for all PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this disclosure.
- Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As of each balance sheet date, other intangible assets consisted of the following:
| March 31, 2025 · December 31, 2024 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Weighted-average amortization period | GrossCarryingAmount | AccumulatedAmortization | NetCarryingValue | GrossCarryingAmount | AccumulatedAmortization | NetCarryingValue |
| Customer relationships | 15 years | $4,197,480 | $(2,440,905) | $1,756,575 | $4,197,480 | $(2,370,865) | $1,826,615 |
| Provider network | 15 years | 896,800 | (527,119) | 369,681 | 896,800 | (512,172) | 384,628 |
| Technology | 6 years | 21,850 | (9,811) | 12,039 | 21,850 | (8,940) | 12,910 |
| Trade names | 9 years | 2,670 | (1,233) | 1,437 | 2,670 | (1,170) | 1,500 |
| Non-compete | 5 years | 1,000 | (380) | 620 | 1,000 | (330) | 670 |
| Total | $5,119,800 | $(2,979,448) | $2,140,352 | $5,119,800 | $(2,893,477) | $2,226,323 | |
Goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:
| ($ in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Goodwill | $4,486,923 | $4,486,923 |
| Accumulated impairment losses | $(2,083,783) | $(657,921) |
| $2,403,140 | $3,829,002 | |
| Goodwill acquired during period | $— | $— |
| Impairment Losses | $— | $(516,350) |
| Goodwill | $4,486,923 | $4,486,923 |
| Accumulated impairment losses | $(2,083,783) | $(1,174,271) |
| $2,403,140 | $3,312,652 |
The goodwill arose from the acquisition of the Company in 2016 by Polaris Investment Holdings, L.P. ("Holdings"), the HSTechnology Solutions, Inc. ("HST") acquisition in 2020, the Discovery Health Partners ("DHP") acquisition in 2021 and the BST acquisition in 2023. The carrying value of goodwill was $2,403.1 million and $2,403.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. No impairment was recorded in the three month ended March 31, 2025
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we concluded that the significant declines in our stock price and market capitalization during the month of March 2024 represented a triggering event and therefore performed an impairment assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2024.
The estimated fair value of our indefinite-lived trade names was less than their carrying value and as a result a loss on impairment of $2.7 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The quantitative assessment of our goodwill as of March 31, 2024 indicated that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and as a result a loss on impairment of $516.4 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets was primarily due to the use of a higher discount rate in response to significant declines in the stock price, and lower EBITDA multiples. There were no material changes in the forecasted revenues and expenses utilized in the analysis compared to November 1, 2023.
Impairment losses are included in Loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
- Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to interest risk on its floating rate debt. On September 12, 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $800 million to effectively convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The interest rate swap agreements are effective August 31, 2023 and mature on August 31, 2026. The
Company entered into these agreements to reduce the volatility of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company's floating rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. The Company's interest rate swaps are highly effective at offsetting the changes in cash outflows and therefore designated as cash flow hedging instruments.
The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, as described in Note 6 Fair Value Measurements. The gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
The following table represents the activity of cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the periods presented:
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Balance as of January 1 | $(5,063) | $(11,778) |
| Unrealized (loss) gain recognized in other comprehensive income before reclassifications | (1,330) | 6,963 |
| Reclassifications to interest expense | (294) | 1,579 |
| Balance as of March 31, net of tax | $(6,687) | $(3,236) |
The Company recognized a loss related to the cash flow derivatives of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and a gain of $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The gains and losses are recognized within interest expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The following table represents the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Interest on the revolving loans (borrowed pursuant to MPH's $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility maturing on December 31, 2029 under the New First Lien Credit Agreement (the "2025 revolving credit facility")) is calculated, at MPH’s option, as (a) Term SOFR (or 0.00%, if higher) plus 3.75% or (b) (x) the highest rate of (1) the prime rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (3) Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% and (4)1.00% plus (y)2.75%. We are obligated to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of our 2025 revolving credit facility. The fee can range from an annual rate of 0.25% to 0.50% based on our consolidated first out first lien debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio, as defined in the New First Lien Credit Agreement.
As part of the Refinancing Transactions, we have incurred transaction expenses of approximately $76.6 million, of which $63.9 million and $7.8 million have been expensed as incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024 and quarter ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and are included in Transaction Costs - Refinancing Transaction in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Debt issuance costs of $4.9 million associated with the 2025 revolving credit facility are included in other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024. Transaction costs were paid in conjunction with the transaction and the revolver was drawn, in the amount of $130.0 million, to fund the Refinancing Transaction. The 2025 revolving credit facility had $80 million and $0 outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Exchange Offers were treated as debt modifications, and all unamortized debt issue costs and discounts associated with the pre-existing notes were ratably applied to the new notes issued, and will be amortized over the new term.
The Refinancing Transactions will increase the Company’s taxable income for the year. Additional income tax due, estimated between $55 million and $75 million, will be paid in the ordinary course of business throughout the remainder of 2025.
The financial covenant under the 2025 revolving credit facility is such that, if, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of MPH (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025), the aggregate amount of loans under the 2025 revolving credit facility, letters of credit issued under the 2025 revolving credit facility (to the extent not cash collateralized or backstopped or, in the aggregate, in excess of $15.0 million) and swingline loans are outstanding and/or issued in an aggregate amount greater than 40.0% of the total commitments in respect of the 2025 revolving credit facility at such time, the 2025 revolving credit facility will require MPH to maintain a consolidated first out first lien debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2025, we had $264.8 million of loan availability under the revolving credit facility.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the debt covenants. See our discussion of Debt Covenants and Events of Default provided in“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.
- Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares
Warrants were issued to Churchill Sponsor III, LLC ("Sponsor") (the "Private Placement Warrants") in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering by Churchill Capital Corporation III ("Churchill") which closed on February 19, 2020, which include the warrants to purchase Churchill's Class A common stock ("Working Capital Warrants") issued pursuant to the terms of an unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to the Sponsor, and which are on terms identical to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants. On July 12, 2020, Churchill entered into the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Music Merger Sub I, Inc., Music Merger Sub II, LLC, Holdings, and Polaris Parent Corp. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Churchill and Michael Klein, Jay Taragin, Jeremy Paul Abson, Glenn R. August, Mark Klein, Malcolm S. McDermid, and Karen G. Mills entered into a Sponsor Agreement (as amended, the "Sponsor Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement,310,102 of the founder shares ("Unvested Founder Shares") and 120,000 Private Placement Warrants were unvested as of October 8, 2020 and will re-vest at such time as, during the period starting on October 8, 2021 and ending on October 8, 2025, the closing price of our Class A common stock exceeds $500.00 per share for any forty (40) trading days in a sixty (60) consecutive day period. Such founder shares and Private Placement Warrants that do not re-vest on or before October 8, 2025 will be forfeited and cancelled.
The 120,000 Private Placement Warrants that unvested are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor and other permitted transferees, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until they re-vest.
The Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares were initially recorded at fair value on the date of consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related agreements (the "Transactions") and are subsequently adjusted to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value of the Unvested Founder Shares and unvested Private Placement Warrants is obtained using a Monte Carlo model and the fair value of the remaining Private Placement Warrants is obtained using a Black Scholes model, together referenced as the "option pricing" model. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value for the founder shares until the earlier of the re-vesting or forfeiture of these instruments. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value for the Private Placement Warrants until the warrant is equity classified.
There are 476,717 Private Placement Warrants and 310,102 Unvested Founder Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Private Placement Warrants and the Unvested Founder Shares had no value.
- Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value represents an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.
Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the entity to develop its own assumptions.
Financial instruments
Certain financial instruments which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists primarily of accounts receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 included money market funds of 10.0 million, which were valued based on Level 1 measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 didnot include money market funds.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's carrying amount and fair value of long-term debt consisted of the following:
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | CarryingAmount | Fair Value | CarryingAmount | Fair Value |
| Long-term Debt: | ||||
| Term Loan B, net of discount (includes current portion) | $— | $— | $1,274,472 | $978,794 |
| 5.50% Notes | 5,814 | 4,517 | 1,050,000 | 891,450 |
| 5.750% Notes | 5,310 | 3,351 | 979,827 | 645,706 |
| Senior Convertible PIK Notes, net of discount | 420 | 285 | 1,239,871 | 830,714 |
| New First-Out First Lien Term Loans, net of discount | 324,266 | 321,834 | — | — |
| New Second-Out First Lien Term Loans, net of discount | 1,137,444 | 952,609 | — | — |
| New Second-Out First Lien A Notes, net of discount | 603,295 | 524,143 | — | — |
| New Second-Out First Lien B Notes, net of discount | 761,850 | 554,703 | — | — |
| New Third-Out First Lien A Notes | 754,872 | 453,678 | — | — |
| New Third-Out First Lien B Notes, net of discount | 961,806 | 593,338 | — | — |
| Finance lease obligations | 73 | 73 | 82 | 82 |
| Total Long-term Debt | $4,555,150 | $3,408,531 | $4,544,252 | $3,346,746 |
We estimate the fair value of long-term debt using Level 2 inputs as they are not registered securities nor listed on any securities exchange but may be traded by qualified institutional buyers.
Recurring fair value measurements
The Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these instruments was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market which would represent a level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses an option pricing simulation to estimate the fair value of these instruments.
The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, which represents the estimated amounts it would receive or pay upon termination of the derivative prior to the scheduled expiration date. The fair value is derived from model-driven information based on observable Level 2 inputs, such as SOFR forward rates.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
We also measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill and long-lived tangible and intangible assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We estimate the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. There wereno impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and impairment charges of $519.1 million for goodwill and long-lived intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Our non-marketable equity securities using the measurement alternative are adjusted to fair value on a non-recurring basis. Adjustments are made when observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer occur, or due to impairment. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the value based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date. At March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of these alternative investments, recorded under Other assets, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $15.0 million. There were no write-ups due to observable price changes or write-downs due to impairment in the current period.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company has certain irrevocable letters of credit used to satisfy real estate lease agreements forfour of our offices in lieu of security deposits in the amount of $3.2 million outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company also has an irrevocable letter of credit to satisfy the obligations of a captive insurance subsidiary in the amount of $2.0 million outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and $6.1 million as of December 31, 2024.
Claims and Litigation
We are a defendant in various lawsuits and other pending and threatened litigation and other adversarial matters which have arisen in the ordinary course of business as well as regulatory investigations, all which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome with respect to such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe they will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
On July 11, 2024, we settled litigation filed in 2014 in which a dialysis company alleged that an entity we acquired in 2011 was liable for certain payments owed to the dialysis provider. As a result of this settlement, we received $9.8 million of recoveries from insurers in the three months ended September 30, 2024, and on October 7, 2024, we completed the settlement payment.
For example, and relating to litigation on the basis of alleged violation of antitrust laws, we have been named in numerous federal lawsuits, including putative class action lawsuits, asserting that, among other things, the Company is conspiring with commercial health insurance payors to suppress out-of-network reimbursements in violation of applicable antitrust law. These lawsuits were initially filed in various venues, including the Southern District of New York, the Northern District of Illinois, and the Northern District of California, naming the Company and, in certain cases, certain payors, as defendants. The lawsuits have now been centralized in the Northern District of Illinois (the "Court") pursuant to a transfer order issued by the federal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation and assigned to the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly. Consolidated complaints were filed on November 18, 2024 and the defendants filed joint motions to dismiss the consolidated complaints on January 16, 2025. Oppositions to the joint motions to dismiss were filed on March 3, 2025, and defendants filed their replies on April 2, 2025. Oral argument on the motions to dismiss was held on May 2, 2025 and the Court took the motions under advisement. We believe these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the Company.
We accrue for costs associated with certain contingencies, including, but not limited to, settlement of legal proceedings, regulatory compliance matters and self-insurance exposures when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are included in other accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we accrue for legal fees incurred in defense of asserted litigation and regulatory matters as such legal fees are incurred. To the extent it is probable under our existing insurance coverage that we are able to recover losses and legal fees related to contingencies, we record such recoveries concurrently with the accrual of the related loss or legal fees. Significant management judgment is required to estimate the amounts of such contingent liabilities and the related insurance recoveries. In our determination of the probability and ability to estimate contingent liabilities and related insurance recoveries we consider the following: litigation exposure based on currently available information, consultations with external legal counsel, adequacy and applicability of existing insurance coverage and other pertinent facts and circumstances regarding the contingency. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances change, or contingencies are resolved; and such changes are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss during the period of the change and appropriately reflected in other accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
- Segment Information
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making decisions. The Company's singular focus is being a leading value-added provider of data analytics and technology-enabled end-to-end cost management, payment and revenue integrity solutions to the U.S. healthcare industry.
The CODM assesses performance for our reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses net income (loss) to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into our segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or debt and equity repurchases. Additionally, we have identified personnel costs, stock based compensation ("SBC"), and access and bill review fees as significant expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in net income (loss). Personnel costs are defined as salaries and corresponding benefits (excluding SBC), severance costs, indirect costs such as recruitment fees, contract labor, and are presented net of capitalized costs. Stock based compensation includes expense under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan and ESPP. Access and bill review fees include fees for accessing non-owned third-party provider networks, expenses associated with vendor fees for database access and systems technology used to reprice claims, and outsourced services. Third-party network expenses are fees paid to non-owned provider networks used to supplement our owned network assets to provide more network claim savings to our clients.
In addition, all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented.
The following table presents summary results for our reporting segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||

- Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The following table sets for the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share, retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Sock Split for the periods presented:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands, except number of shares and per share data) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Numerator for earnings per share calculation | ||
| Net loss | $(71,319) | $(539,689) |
| Denominator for earnings per share calculation | ||
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic | 16,273,439 | 16,158,356 |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted | 16,273,439 | 16,158,356 |
| (Loss) Income per share – basic and diluted: | ||
| Net loss per share – basic | $(4.38) | $(33.40) |
| Net loss per share – diluted | $(4.38) | $(33.40) |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, we have excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share the instruments whose effect would have been antidilutive, including (i)1,462,500 warrants outstanding, (ii)808 shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes, and (iii)310,102 Unvested Founder Shares. Additionally, we have excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share stock-based compensation awards whose effect would have been anti-dilutive of 1,882,534. Therefore, the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.
- Related Party Transactions
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss include related party expenses of $19 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $36 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. These expenses are associated with a software license from Abacus Insights, Inc., as well as customer service software and captive management services from companies controlled by Hellman & Friedman LLC.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include prepaid expenses of $35 thousand and $37 thousand from related parties as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
