Since 2018, we have completed and successfully integrated 10 acquisitions, one of which was Iodine that closed in the fourth quarter of 2025. The historical results of operations of our acquisitions are only included starting from the date of closing of such acquisition.

Impacts of Our Competitor’s Cybersecurity Attack
Current report
Following the February 2024 cybersecurity incident involving one of our competitors, more than 30,000 providers, including a significant number of large health systems and ambulatory providers, began adopting our solutions, and we were able to implement our solutions for many of these new clients in as little as 48 hours. This incident and our response to it generated approximately $11 million in additional revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to increased win rates above our historically competitive rates and associated accelerated implementation timeline.

Initial Public Offering
Previous report
In June 2024, we completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 45,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $21.50 per share. After underwriting discounts and commissions of $53.2 million, we received total proceeds from the offering of $914.3 million. On July 5, 2024, pursuant to the option granted to the underwriters for a period of 30 days from the date of the IPO Prospectus to purchase up to 6,750,000 additional shares of common stock from us at the IPO price less the underwriting discount, the underwriters exercised the right to purchase 5,059,010 additional shares of common stock, resulting in additional net proceeds of $102.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.0 million. The remaining option to purchase additional shares expired unexercised at the end of the 30-day period. See Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 1 (Business) in the 2024 Form 10-K for more information.

Impacts of the IPO
Previous report
•Debt Repayment. We used proceeds from our IPO to repay an aggregate of $1.0 billion in outstanding principal amount on our First Lien Credit Facility in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2024. This debt repayment has contributed to lower interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Previous report
•Stock-Based Compensation Expenses. We expect to recognize stock-based compensation expense of $17.9 million per year over the applicable vesting periods in connection with equity awards granted in connection with the IPO. Such stock-based compensation expense will be reflected in our results of operations from the closing date of the IPO through the applicable vesting periods of such awards. Additionally, we recognized $33.1 million of stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as the vesting of our performance condition options became probable upon the closing of the IPO as the implicit service period for the awards established at the grant date had elapsed.
Previous report
•Incremental Public Company Expenses. Following the IPO, we have incurred significant expenses on an ongoing basis that we did not incur as a private company. Those costs include additional director and officer liability insurance expenses, as well as third-party and internal resources related to accounting, auditing, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, legal, and investor and public relation expenses. These costs are generally expensed under general and administrative expenses.

The increase was primarily driven by $2.1 million in increased costs stemming from higher transaction volumes and associated third-party costs, including higher platform usage of which approximately $4.6 million was third-party costs associated with payment solutions offset by a decrease of $2.4 million from third-party costs associated with provider solutions, primarily from timing of prior acquisition synergy attainment. Additionally, there was a $1.8 million of increased personnel costs, net of capitalization expense.
Previous report
Sales and marketing expense was $45.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $38.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $6.7 million, or 17.4%.

Previous report
Depreciation and amortization expense was $33.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $60.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $26.9 million, or 44.7%.

Previous wording
We present adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss), and non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. Management uses these to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone provide.

Previous wording
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss), and non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or net income (loss) margin as measures of financial performance or cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company. A reconciliation is provided below for our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We define non-GAAP net income as GAAP net income/(loss) excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, asset and lease impairments, costs related to our IPO, and the Secondary Offerings, and costs related to amended debt agreements and amortization of intangibles. The tax effects of the adjustments are calculated using a management estimated annual effective non-GAAP tax rate of 21%, which is based on our statutory federal tax rate and provides consistency across interim reporting periods by eliminating the effects of non-recurring and period specific items. Due to the differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP net income, our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP net income may differ from our GAAP tax rate.

Our Net Revenue Retention Rate compares twelve months of client invoices for our solutions at two period end dates. To calculate our Net Revenue Retention Rate, we first accumulate the total amount invoiced during the twelve months ending with the prior period-end, or Prior Period Invoices. We then calculate the total amount invoiced to those same clients for the twelve months ending with the current period-end, or Current Period Invoices. Current Period Invoices are inclusive of upsell, downsell, pricing changes, clients that cancel or chose not to renew, and discontinued solutions with continuing clients. The Net Revenue Retention Rate is then calculated by dividing the Current Period Invoices by the Prior Period Invoices. Our total invoices included in the analysis are greater than 98% of reported revenue. We use Net Revenue Retention Rate to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Acquired businesses are included in the last-twelve month Net Revenue Retention Rate in the ninth quarter after acquisition, which is the earliest point that comparable post-acquisition invoices are available for both the current and prior twelve-month period.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet current and future needs. Our expected primary uses on a short-term and long-term basis are for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, and investments in future growth, including acquisitions. We have historically funded our operations and acquisitions through our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and debt financings. We believe that our existing unrestricted cash on hand, expected future cash flows from operations, and additional borrowings will provide sufficient resources to fund our operating requirements, as well as future capital expenditures, debt service requirements, and investments in future growth for at least the next 12 months. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings, or a combination of these potential sources of funds. In the event that we need access to additional cash, we may not be able to access the credit markets on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures and our ability to meet future debt service obligations or refinance our indebtedness will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, and other factors beyond our control, including those described under “Risk factors” in the 2024 Form 10-K.

The primary driver of the increase was an increase in restricted cash related to customers' cash deposited into our lockbox but contractually required to be disbursed to the participating clients (see Note 2 in our 2025 Form 10-K for details on restricted cash accounting policies). This increase was offset by a decrease in proceeds from issuance of common stock from employee equity plans, as well as the net impact of proceeds from amendment to our Receivables Facility (see Note 11) and the corresponding paydown on our First Lien Credit Facility (see Note 12).
