The Health Catalyst Flywheel
We accomplish our mission with each of our clients by following a process and strategy we call the Health Catalyst Flywheel (the Flywheel). This process includes delivering on the three components of our Solution: data and analytics platform, applications, and expertise, which together drive measurable improvements. At the center of the Flywheel is the engagement of our team members. Team member engagement is foundational to everything we do and is the #1 priority of our CEO and broader leadership team. When team members feel connected to our mission and are listened to, cared for, and respected at an extraordinary level, they produce outstanding work, which enables our clients to measurably improve. As clients realize improvements, their trust in Health Catalyst builds, their engagement in our shared work increases, and they choose to renew and expand their relationship with us, while also referring Health Catalyst to key decision-makers at other potential clients. Client renewal, expansion, and referral produce growing, scalable, and predictable financial performance.
The cycle described above creates momentum for our business and is encapsulated in the following diagram:
FlyWheel.jpg
Given the central importance of team member engagement to our company’s long-term success, we have been purposeful in defining and emphasizing operating principles and cultural attributes that reinforce the commitment to our mission and to team member engagement. We consistently focus on our operating principles and cultural attributes, as well as our mission and Flywheel (collectively, the Health Catalyst Way), which we review in all new hire orientations, company-wide meetings, and board of directors’ meetings. Furthermore, we regularly measure our team member engagement and adjust our practices based on team member feedback. We have demonstrated an elite, consistent level of team member engagement over time as demonstrated by a 94th to 99th percentile ranking, as measured by Gallup.
We will continue to emphasize the Health Catalyst Way, including our operating principles and cultural attributes, which we believe will be central to our long-term success.

Business Overview
Healthcare organizations operate in an environment that is characterized by waste, changing economics, and data complexity. Organizations that leverage analytics to make data-informed decisions will be better positioned to succeed in this environment. Our clients, which are primarily healthcare providers, use our Solution to manage their data, derive analytical insights to operate their organizations, and produce measurable clinical, financial, and operational improvements.
The core elements of our Solution include:
•Ignite Data & Analytics Platform. Ignite is a healthcare-specific, cloud-based, open, flexible, scalable and self-service ecosystem for analytics, app development and interoperability that provides clients a single comprehensive environment to integrate and organize data from their disparate software systems. Ignite optimizes and adapts industry-agnostic technologies, bridging gaps to ensure that they meet the unique requirements of healthcare data and healthcare organizations. Ignite has amassed large and comprehensive data assets, which enables us to deliver differentiated insights to our clients.
•Applications. Our software analytics applications are generally built on top of our Ignite platform and are designed to analyze the most common problems our clients face across five focus areas: Clinical Improvement, Revenue & Cost Improvement, Ambulatory Operations, Measures & Registries, and Data & Analytics. These applications enable our clients to pinpoint opportunities for measurable improvement across their entire enterprise and are employed by a broad range of users from healthcare executives to front-line clinicians providing care. Through a combination of internal development and acquisition activity, we built this suite of analytics applications based on thoughtful measurement of the most critical analytics needs faced by our clients. Our applications are further enhanced by a broad range of analytics accelerators, which are pre-built, configurable data models with customizable visualizations that can be tailored to specific client needs.
•Expertise. Our world-class team consists of both analytics experts, such as data analysts, data engineers, and data scientists, and domain experts, such as healthcare administrators, physicians, and nurses. Our services include data and analytics services, domain expertise, education services, Tech-Enabled Managed Services (TEMS), and implementation services. Our services team members leverage our technology to help our clients shorten time-to-value and achieve sustainable measurable improvements. Examples of the expertise we provide include opportunity analysis and prioritization, data governance, data modeling and analysis, quality and process improvement strategy, cost accounting, data abstraction, and population health strategies. Our approach to integrate data, analytics, and expertise into a holistic Solution is distinctive. Various elements of our Solution have been recognized as industry-leading by multiple third parties, including KLAS.
We have generated over 1,800 documented, client-verified improvements across clinical, financial, and operational domains. Each of these documented improvements is highly valuable to our clients, enabling them to realize substantial clinical improvements, financial savings, or operational efficiencies. As we deliver measurable improvements, trust builds, and our clients engage with us more broadly and refer new business. This is evidenced by a continued increase in improvements achieved by our clients over time. Clients who have recently contracted with us have already started achieving measurable improvements, while longer-standing clients have seen the number of annual improvements meaningfully grow.
We serve the majority of our clients through a subscription-based contract model. As of December 31, 2024, we served 130 Platform Clients (formerly the most similar defined term was DOS Subscription Clients, which we also referred to as Platform Subscription Clients) and over 900 App Clients (formerly the most similar defined term was other clients). Platform Clients are defined as: (i) all Platform Clients as of December 31, 2024 under our historical definition (formerly referred to as DOS Subscription Clients, which we also referred to as Platform Subscription Clients), and (ii) going forward in 2025 and beyond, any client that signs technology contracts with at least $100,000 of incremental total ARR and non-recurring revenue in a given calendar year, inclusive of clients that come through acquisition if we first begin recognizing revenue for the client post-acquisition and that total ARR and non-recurring revenue exceeds $100,000 in that calendar year, so long as such client maintains an active subscription as of the end of the period. The majority of our clients who are not Platform Clients are technology clients resulting from our business acquisitions and typically operate under subscription contracts.
9

Our clients include academic medical centers, integrated delivery networks, community hospitals, large physician practices, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), health information exchanges, health insurers, and other risk-bearing entities. Example clients include Allina Health, AlohaCare, Baylor Scott & White Health, Carle Health, Children’s Hospital of Orange County, Community Health Network, Contexture, INTEGRIS Health, Lifepoint Health, Mass General Brigham, MultiCare, Queen's Health System, Temple University Health System, UnityPoint Health, and UPMC.

Our Strengths
Our operational and financial success is based on the following key strengths:
Healthcare-specific, flexible, open, and scalable data platform. Ignite was purpose-built to handle healthcare-specific data management and analytics use cases, including the ingestion of healthcare data sources. By integrating healthcare-specific terminology and standardized data sets with a flexible and adaptable framework, we enable faster and more repeatable analytics. As an open and self-service platform, we support the development of analytics applications on top of Ignite, which can accelerate the adoption and integration of our Ignite platform by our clients. Ignite supports both Health Catalyst solutions as well as client-developed applications, and the flexible ecosystem enables product iteration and deployment at an accelerated pace.
Integrated and comprehensive nature of our Solution creates measurable improvements. Through the delivery of our comprehensive and integrated Solution of data, analytics, and expertise, we enable measurable improvements for our clients. Our Solution has generated over 1,800 documented, client-verified improvements across clinical, financial, and operational domains.
Attractive operating model. We have an attractive operating model due to the recurring nature of the vast majority of our revenue and the modularity and scalability of our Ignite platform and analytics applications. Our recurring revenue subscription model provides a high degree of revenue visibility. The open and flexible nature of Ignite makes it highly scalable, which allows us to deliver additional analytics applications on top of Ignite with limited incremental costs. We expect the benefits of our operating model and cost structure to generate operating leverage in our business.
Unique and differentiated culture focused on team member engagement. Our leadership team’s commitment to the team member is central to our long-term success. Our commitment to building and maintaining a culture where team members are highly engaged in our mission directly benefits not only team members, but also our clients and other stakeholders.
The team member experience is the #1 priority of our CEO and other members of our leadership team. On a daily basis, our leadership focuses on the team member experience, by listening carefully to team member feedback and making changes based on this feedback, by erring in favor of the team member, and by working as an advocate for each team member. This focus enables team members to become highly engaged in fulfilling our mission to be the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed healthcare improvement.
This deep team member engagement in our mission leads team members to build world-class data and analytics technology and to provide industry-leading expertise. The care that the leadership team shows to team members becomes the same care that team members show to our clients, and through this care and commitment, our clients experience accelerating and measurable improvement, which leads them to renew, expand, and refer. By focusing on the team member experience, our clients realize greater improvements, which leads to a high-growth, predictable business model.
Recognized industry leader by multiple third parties. The strength of our Solution has been recognized by multiple third parties as among the best in the industry. These include KLAS Overall Customer Satisfaction Scores that have often historically been among the highest in the peer group, among others. We recognized early on that healthcare organizations need purpose-built technology products and services to support data-driven insights and have spent more than a decade building and commercializing our healthcare-specific Solution. We invested meaningful time and resources over the last decade to build a comprehensive and differentiated set of products and services for our clients, which is not easily replicated by other healthcare and/or technology companies. Our clients benefit from our technology innovation and expertise which enables them to avoid the significant time, financial resources, and technical proficiency they would need to invest to build similar capabilities in-house. Similarly, the overall complexity and dynamic nature of healthcare require purpose-built products and services to address the challenges our clients face, preventing traditional technology companies from easily leveraging and deploying existing platforms.
Tenured management team with healthcare technology experience. Health Catalyst is led by a team of healthcare and data veterans with many years of combined experience leading digital transformation at health systems. Our founders collaborated for nearly a decade to pioneer and develop a new data warehousing architecture that resolves many of the problems encountered using traditional data warehousing methodologies. The unique combination of talent and experience across healthcare and technology, as well as our management team’s commitment to the Health Catalyst Way, underpin everything we do.

Our Growth Strategies
Our growth strategies reflect our mission to be the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed healthcare improvement. Our focus on multiple channels, as well as our collaborative company culture, results in high levels of sustainable growth. Our strategic levers to drive growth include:
•Grow our overall client base. We have a substantial opportunity to continue growing our client base through our active sales and marketing strategy and significant word-of-mouth references. We currently estimate our total core addressable market to include more than 1,200 healthcare organizations, including health systems and risk-bearing entities, as well as other clients such as life science organizations, payers and, with respect to some of our cybersecurity solutions, healthcare technology companies. We believe there is ample room to win new business and deepen market penetration in our core market. Further, healthcare providers outside of the United States face similar challenges to those in the United States and can implement our Solution to address them. We have a presence in Singapore, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and a small number of other countries. We plan to opportunistically pursue entry into and expansion within international markets.
•Expand within our current client base. We intend to deepen and expand the relationships we have with our existing client base. Our relationship with a new client oftentimes starts through the use of targeted applications and services to pinpoint and achieve a single measurable clinical, financial, or operational improvement. As we deliver measurable improvements, trust builds, and our clients engage with us more broadly and purchase additional applications and services. We strive to achieve Platform Client growth in part through strong client retention and client referrals. Our Dollar-based Retention Rates for Platform Clients has been 100% for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. We will continue to invest in helping clients identify additional uses for our Solution, ensuring they achieve measurable improvements throughout our relationship with them, including through our Tech-Enabled Managed Services (TEMS) offering. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding the definitions of Dollar-based Retention Rate and Platform Clients.
•Add new applications and offerings. The expansion of our Solution and enhancement of our applications library will accelerate as we deepen our client relationships and add to our dataset. Because our Ignite platform is open and we partner with our clients, we are able to identify new opportunities for further improvements and leverage that insight with other clients across our core market to develop new analytics applications and services offerings. We have used this process to build several new software applications through our history, and we will continue to invest in product development, particularly at the analytics applications layer of our technology stack. Additionally, we have been acquisitive over the last several years at the applications layer, and this acquisition activity has provided additional opportunities to expand our product portfolio.
•Grow our addressable market through additional healthcare business segment adjacencies. We believe there are significant applications for our Solution outside of our core market, as evidenced by our early efforts to expand into certain international markets and our efforts to expand outside of our core target client of healthcare systems to adjacent markets such as life sciences organizations, health insurance providers, and health information exchanges (HIEs). While we believe there are significant opportunities in our core market, these business segment adjacencies have the potential to significantly grow our addressable market and business over time.
•Selectively pursue acquisitions and partnerships. While we expect this will be less of a focal area in the near term, we plan to continue evaluating and identifying opportunities where we can leverage our Ignite platform to scale and consolidate both data assets and best-of-breed applications. We believe that competing point solutions vendors will have difficulty growing their offerings into sustainable businesses, which we believe translates into a robust mergers and acquisitions pipeline for us. We have a track record of identifying and integrating new and complementary capabilities, including our acquisitions of Medicity, Able Health, Healthfinch, Vitalware, Twistle, KPI Ninja, ARMUS, ERS, Carevive, Lumeon, and Intraprise. Moreover, we believe the companies we partner with and acquire choose us because of our collaborative, best-in-class culture which we view as a differentiating factor in sourcing acquisitions and partnerships.

This event also features our annual Catalyst Awards, highlighting the best examples of healthcare improvement amount our clients.
Research and Development
Our ability to compete depends in large part on our continuous commitment to research and development and our ability to rapidly introduce and refine new applications, technologies, features, and functionality. Our research and development organization is responsible for the design, development, and testing of the technology portion of our Solution. Based on client feedback and needs, we focus our efforts on developing or acquiring new products, functionality, applications, and core technologies and further enhancing the usability, functionality, reliability, performance, and flexibility of our Solution.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, and copyright laws in the United States as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets, including proprietary technology, databases, and our brand. As of December 31, 2024, we had fourteen issued U.S. patents, four issued Canadian patents, one issued Great Britain patent, and one issued European patent, which expire between 2026 and 2038, as well as one utility patent application pending in the United States. These patents and patent applications seek to protect proprietary inventions relevant to our business. We intend to pursue additional patent protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial to our business and cost-effective.
We have registered “Health Catalyst” and our flame design logo as trademarks in the United States and certain other jurisdictions. We also have filed other trademark applications that are meaningful to our business in the United States and certain other jurisdictions and will pursue additional trademark registrations to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective. We are the registered holder of a variety of domain names that include “Health Catalyst” and similar variations.
We maintain our intellectual property and confidential business information in a number of ways. For instance, we have a policy of requiring all employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of an employment or consulting relationship with us. Our employee agreements also require relevant employees to assign to us all rights to any inventions made or conceived during their employment with us in accordance with applicable law. In addition, we have a policy of requiring individuals and entities with which we discuss potential business relationships to sign non-disclosure agreements. Lastly, our agreements with clients include confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions.
Competition
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, intense competition from a number of companies. Our primary competitors are industry-agnostic analytics companies, EHR companies, point solution vendors, and healthcare organizations that perform their own analytics using homegrown solutions. Industry-agnostic analytics companies that help healthcare organizations develop homegrown solutions include IBM, Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft, Tableau CRM, and Qlik. EHR companies include Oracle Health and Epic Systems. Point solution companies include Optum Analytics, Premier, Arcadia.io, Strata Decision Technology, Craneware, Innovaccer, and Intersystems.

17

The principal competitive factors in our industry include:
•level of client satisfaction;
•ease of deployment and use of solutions and applications;
•breadth and depth of solution and application functionality;
•access to, and ability to glean insights from, large data sets;
•brand awareness and reputation;
•modern and adaptive technology platform;
•capability for customization, configurability, integration, security, scalability, and reliability of applications;
•total cost of ownership;
•ability to innovate and respond to client needs rapidly;
•size of client base and level of user adoption;
•regulatory compliance verification and functionality;
•domain expertise with respect to healthcare; and
•ability to integrate with legacy enterprise infrastructures and third-party applications.
We believe that we compete favorably with our competitors on the basis of these factors. However, many of our competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technological, and other resources and name recognition than we do and more established distribution networks and relationships with healthcare providers. As a result, many of these companies may respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and standards and changes in client requirements. These companies may be able to invest more resources in research and development, strategic acquisitions, sales and marketing, patent prosecution, litigation, and financing capital equipment acquisitions for their clients.
Government Regulation
Our business is subject to extensive, complex, and rapidly changing federal and state laws and regulations, as well as international laws with respect to our international clients. Various federal and state agencies have discretion to issue regulations and interpret and enforce healthcare laws. While we believe we comply in all material respects with applicable healthcare laws and regulations, these regulations can vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and interpretation of existing laws and regulations may change periodically. Federal and state legislatures also may enact various legislative proposals that could materially impact certain aspects of our business. The following are summaries of key federal and state laws and regulations that impact our operations:

Data Privacy and Security Laws

Numerous state, federal, and foreign laws, regulations, and standards govern the collection, use, access to, confidentiality, and security of health-related and other personal information, and could apply now or in the future to our operations or the operations of our partners. In the United States, numerous state and federal laws and regulations, including data breach notification laws, health information privacy and security laws, and consumer protection laws and regulations, govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information and could apply to our operations or the operations of our clients. In addition, certain foreign laws govern the privacy and security of personal data, including health-related data. Privacy and security laws, regulations, and other obligations are constantly evolving, may conflict with each other to complicate compliance efforts, and can result in investigations, proceedings, or actions that lead to significant civil and/or criminal penalties and restrictions on data processing.





18

Fraud, waste, and abuse

Even though we do not directly order or provide healthcare services that are reimbursable by Medicare, Medicaid, or other third-party payors or submit claims or receive reimbursement from any such payor, certain federal and state healthcare laws and regulations pertaining to fraud, abuse, and waste apply or may apply to our business and to the financial arrangements through which we market, sell, and provide our services to our healthcare provider clients. These laws and regulations include or may include the following:

•The federal Anti-Kickback Statute makes it illegal for any person to knowingly and willfully solicit, receive, offer, or pay any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, in exchange for, or intended to induce or reward, including arranging for or recommending, either the referral of an individual, or the purchase, lease, order, prescription, or recommendation of any good, facility, item or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid program. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation.

•The federal civil and criminal false claims laws, such as the federal False Claims Act, and civil monetary penalties laws impose criminal and civil penalties and authorize civil whistleblower or qui tam actions, against individuals or entities for, among other things: knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to a federal government healthcare program, claims for payment that are false or fraudulent; making, using or causing to be made or used, a false statement or record material to payment of a false or fraudulent claim or obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the federal government; or knowingly concealing or knowingly and improperly avoiding or decreasing an obligation to pay money to the federal government. The government has prosecuted revenue cycle management service providers for causing the submission of false or fraudulent claims in violation of the False Claims Act. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act. Moreover, private individuals have the ability to bring actions on behalf of the U.S. government under the federal False Claims Act as well as under the false claims laws of several states.

•The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) also contains a provision that imposes criminal and civil liability for knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program (including private payors) or obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any healthcare benefit program, regardless of the payor (e.g., public or private) and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by any trick or device a material fact or making any materially false statements in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items, or services. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. Similarly, the federal false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing, or covering up a material fact or making any materially false statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items, or services.

In addition, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes and regulations that apply regardless of the payor, including commercial payors and self-pay patients. Violations of federal and state fraud and abuse laws may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including significant penalties, fines, disgorgement, additional reporting requirements and oversight under a corporate integrity agreement or similar agreement to resolve allegations of noncompliance with these laws, imprisonment and/or exclusion or suspension from federal and state healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, and debarment from contracting with the U.S. government.

Corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting laws

In many states, there are laws that prohibit business entities, such as us, from providing professional medical services or directly employing or otherwise exercising control over professional judgment or medical decisions by physicians or other licensed healthcare professionals (such activities generally referred to as the “corporate practice of medicine”). Corporate practice of medicine regulations and other similar laws may also prevent fee-splitting, or the sharing of professional service income with non-professional or business interests. Overseeing care coordination, care management, or ambulatory operations teams could be alleged in some cases to involve treatment or diagnosis of patients which requires a clinic license or other state license or permission.


19

Any determination that we are acting in the capacity of a healthcare provider and acting improperly as a healthcare provider, exercising undue influence or control over a healthcare provider or impermissibly sharing fees with a healthcare provider, may result in additional compliance requirements, expense, and liability to us, and require us to change or terminate some portions of our contractual arrangements or business.

Patient safety organization certification and other certification requirements

Our patient safety organization (PSO) is certified by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). We must meet certain requirements to maintain this certification. In addition, there may be other federal and state certification requirements that we may be required to meet from time to time in connection with our Solution. We cannot be certain that our Solution will continue to meet these standards. The failure to comply with these certification requirements could result in the loss of certification.

Interoperability Standards. The Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) is charged under the 21st Century Cures Act with developing a Trusted Exchange Framework that establishes governance requirements for trusted health information exchange in the United States. ONC has developed the U.S. Common Data Set for Interoperability which may lay the groundwork for future data exchange requirements for trusted exchange. ONC continues to modify and refine these standards.

We may incur increased software development and administrative expense and delays in delivering technology and services if we need to update our services to conform to these varying and evolving requirements. In addition, delays in interpreting these standards may result in postponement or cancellation of our clients’ decisions to purchase our services. If our services are not compliant with these evolving standards, our market position and sales could be impaired, and we may have to invest significantly in changes to our technology and services.

The 21st Century Cures Act includes provisions related to data interoperability, information blocking, and patient access. CMS and the ONC recently issued final rules related to these provisions, which include, among other things, requirements surrounding information blocking, changes to ONC’s Health IT Certification Program, and requirements that CMS-regulated payors make relevant claims/care data and provider directory information available through standardized patient access and provider directory APIs that connect to provider EHRs. Any failure to adequately comply with these rules may adversely impact our business and our ability to compete.

In a regulatory climate that is uncertain, our operations may be subject to direct and indirect adoption, expansion or reinterpretation of various federal and state laws and regulations. Compliance with these amended and/or future laws and regulations may require us to change our practices at an undeterminable and possibly significant initial monetary and annual expense. There could be laws and regulations applicable to our business that we have not identified or that, if changed, may apply to our business operations. Additionally, the introduction of new services may require us to comply with additional, yet undetermined, laws and regulations.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The FDA regulates certain medical or health-related software, including machine learning functionality and predictive algorithms, if such software falls within the definition of a “medical device” under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). Medical devices are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by the FDA and by other federal, state, and local authorities. The FDCA and related regulations govern the conditions of safety, efficacy, clearance, approval, manufacturing, quality system requirements, labeling, packaging, distribution, storage, recordkeeping, reporting, marketing, advertising, and promotion of medical devices.

However, historically, the FDA has exercised enforcement discretion for certain low-risk software functions, and has issued several guidance documents outlining its approach to the regulation of software as a medical device. In addition, FDCA excludes certain types of software from the definition of a medical device, including certain medical-related software functions used for administrative support at a healthcare facility, software intended for maintaining or encouraging a healthy lifestyle, software designed to store electronic health records, software for transferring, storing, or displaying medical device data or in vitro diagnostic data, and certain clinical decision support software. We believe our currently marketed products are not currently regulated by the FDA as medical devices, or are otherwise subject to the FDA’s current enforcement discretion policies.





20

FDA premarket clearance and approval requirements - Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires either FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, or approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). Under the FDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes—Class I, Class II, or Class III—depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of manufacturer and regulatory control needed to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Class I includes devices with the lowest risk to the patient and are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to the FDA’s General Controls for medical devices, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the Quality System Regulation (QSR), facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events, and truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising, and promotional materials.

Class II devices are subject to the FDA’s General Controls, and special controls as deemed necessary by the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls can include performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries, and FDA guidance documents.

While most Class I devices are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, manufacturers of most Class II devices are required to submit to the FDA a premarket notification under Section 510(k) of the FDCA requesting permission to commercially distribute the device. The FDA’s permission to commercially distribute a device subject to a 510(k) premarket notification is generally known as 510(k) clearance. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risks, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or some implantable devices, or devices that have a new intended use, or use advanced technology that is not substantially equivalent to that of a legally marketed device, are placed in Class III, requiring approval of a PMA. Some pre-amendment devices are unclassified, but are subject to the FDA’s premarket notification and clearance process in order to be commercially distributed.
Post-market regulation - After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:
•establishment registration and device listing with the FDA;
•QSR requirements, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation, and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the design and manufacturing process;
•labeling and marketing regulations, which require that promotion is truthful, not misleading, fairly balanced, and provides adequate directions for use and that all claims are substantiated, and also prohibit the promotion of products for unapproved or “off-label” uses and impose other restrictions on labeling;
•clearance or approval of product modifications to 510(k)-cleared devices that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use of one of our cleared devices;
•medical device reporting regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned and the device or a similar device that it markets would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, if the malfunction were to recur;
•correction, removal, and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;
•complying with requirements governing Unique Device Identifiers on devices and also requiring the submission of certain information about each device to the FDA’s Global Unique Device Identification Database;
•the FDA’s recall authority, whereby the agency can order device manufacturers to recall from the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations; and
•post-market surveillance activities and regulations, which apply when deemed by the FDA to be necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.
Manufacturers of medical device products marketed in the United States are required to comply with the applicable portions of the QSR, which cover the methods and the facilities and controls for the design, manufacture, testing, production, processes, controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation, and servicing of finished devices intended for human use. The QSR also requires, among other things, maintenance of a device master file, device history file, and complaint files. Device manufacturers are also subject to periodic scheduled or unscheduled inspections by the FDA. The FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers.
21

If the FDA determines that a company has failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, including a determination that medical software products require prior FDA clearance or approval to be legally marketed in the United States, it can take a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in any of the following sanctions: warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties; recalls, withdrawals, or administrative detentions or seizure of products; operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production; refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) marketing clearance or PMA approvals of new products or modified products; withdrawing 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted; refusal to grant export or import approvals; or criminal prosecution.

Foreign regulations
Our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, India, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia are subject to additional regulations by the governments of the United Kingdom, India, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia, respectively, as well as their respective subdivisions. These include federal and local corporation requirements, restrictions on exchange of funds, employment-related laws, and qualification for tax status.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and foreign anti-bribery laws. The FCPA makes it illegal for U.S. persons, including U.S. companies, and their subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, and agents, to promise, authorize or make any corrupt payment, or otherwise provide any item of value, directly or indirectly, to any foreign official or any foreign political party or party official to obtain or retain business. Violations of the FCPA can also result in violations of other U.S. laws, including anti-money laundering, mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy laws. There are severe penalties for violating the FCPA. In addition, the Company may also be subject to other non-U.S. anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws, such as the U.K. Bribery Act 2010.
Export controls. Economic and trade sanctions programs that are administered by OFAC prohibit or restrict transactions to or from, and dealings with specified countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, with individuals and entities that are specially designated nationals of those countries, and other sanctioned persons, including narcotics traffickers and terrorists or terrorist organizations. Further, federal regulations impose authorization, reporting, and/or licensing requirements prior to the export of certain software that incorporates encryption technology. These requirements may apply to our Solution to the extent that our software with encryption functionality is implemented abroad or is hosted on servers in a foreign country to provide services to clients outside the United States. In addition, various countries also regulate the import of certain encryption technology, including through import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our clients’ ability to import our technology into those countries.

In March 2017, we changed our name to Health Catalyst, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 10897 South River Front Parkway #300, South Jordan, Utah 84095, and our telephone number is (855) 309-6800. We completed our initial public offering of shares of our common stock, also referred to as our IPO, in July 2019, and our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “HCAT.” Our corporate website address is www.healthcatalyst.com. Information contained on or accessible through our website is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Human Capital Management
At the center of the Flywheel is the engagement of our team members. Team member engagement is foundational to everything we do and is the #1 priority of our CEO and broader leadership team. When team members feel connected to our mission and are listened to, cared for, and respected at an extraordinary level, they produce outstanding work, which enables our clients to measurably improve. As clients realize improvements, their trust in Health Catalyst builds, their engagement in our shared work increases, and they choose to renew and expand their relationship with us, while also referring Health Catalyst to key decision-makers at other potential clients. Client renewal, expansion, and referral produce growing, scalable, and predictable financial performance.
Our key human capital management objectives include, among others: (i) attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse and talented workforce; (ii) providing opportunities for learning, development, career growth, and movement within Health Catalyst; (iii) evaluating compensation and benefits, and rewarding performance; (iv) investing in physical, emotional, and financial health of team members; (v) obtaining team member feedback; (vi) maintaining and enhancing our culture and mission; and (vii) communicating with our board of directors on a routine basis on key topics. We have implemented and continue to develop many programs designed to achieve these priorities, some of which are further described below.



22

As of December 31, 2024, we had more than 1,500 team members, the vast majority of whom are located in the United States and approximately 10% of whom are located in India. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and our Gallup scores demonstrate that we have high quality team member relations and engagement. We encourage you to review the Environmental, Social and Governance scorecard found on our website at https://ir.healthcatalyst.com/esg/overview (ESG Website) for more detailed information regarding our human capital programs and initiatives, which we intend to update later this year. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Team member engagement

We regularly engage with our team members to assess their job satisfaction, including conducting regular team member surveys and hosting monthly all-team-member meetings in which leadership answers questions from team members. We use information from these sources, among others, to improve our ability to attract, develop, and retain talented team members who will help advance our mission.

Compensation, benefits, and wellness

In addition to market-competitive base pay, short-term bonus incentives, and long-term equity incentives, we provide comprehensive team member benefits and a variety of other health and wellness resources. We are committed to fair compensation and opportunity in our workplace.

Pay equity

We are committed to ensuring our team members receive equal pay for equal work. We establish components and ranges of compensation based on market and benchmark data. Within this context, we strive to pay all employees equitably within a reasonable range, taking into consideration factors such as role; market data; internal equity; job location; relevant experience; and individual, business unit, and company performance, among others. We regularly review our compensation practices and analyze the equity of compensation decisions. We institute measures, such as communications and trainings, to recognize, interrupt, and prevent bias in hiring, performance management, and compensation decisions, and we provide resources to further develop managers and leaders to help them make equitable decisions about pay.

Inclusion and Belonging

We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging, and to building a workforce to drive innovation and collective growth, which we believe is critical to our success. These inclusion efforts—spearheaded by our Chief People Officer and our six affinity groups in partnership with hundreds of our team members—focus on inclusion and belonging in our workforce, in our workplace, and in healthcare. We continue to focus on inclusive recruitment and hiring practices to source talent and mitigate potential bias throughout the hiring process. We are committed to legally compliant methods for advancing inclusion and belonging efforts.

Growth and development

We invest significant resources to develop talent and actively foster a learning culture where team members are empowered to drive their personal and professional growth. We offer extensive onboarding and regular training programs to prepare our team members at all levels for career progression and individual development. We also offer annual continuing education reimbursement to allow team members to be continuous learners and seek new challenges.

Flexible work environment

We help our team members succeed by providing flexibility in where and how they work. For many years, we have enabled team members to have flexible work arrangements, including a large percentage of remote team members. We believe these arrangements can increase team member’s ownership, satisfaction and productivity, as well as enable us to hire from a broader, more diverse pool of talent. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we have allowed all team members to work remotely to protect their health, safety, and wellness, and we continue to support our workforce with the technology and infrastructure necessary to work from a remote location, including a work equipment and utilities reimbursement program to help our team members improve their dynamic workspaces.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section of this report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes. If any of the events described in the following risk factors and the risks described elsewhere in this report occurs, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. This Annual Report on Form 10-K also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors that are described below and elsewhere in this report.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
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.

The market for healthcare solutions is intensely competitive. We compete across various segments within the healthcare market, including with respect to data analytics and technology platforms, healthcare consulting, care management and coordination, population health management, and health information exchange. Competition in our market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product introductions, and changes in client requirements. If we are unable to keep pace with the evolving needs of our clients and continue to develop and introduce new applications and services in a timely and efficient manner, demand for our Solution may be reduced and our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.
We face competition from industry-agnostic analytics companies, electronic health records (EHR) companies, such as Epic Systems and Oracle Health, point solution vendors, and healthcare organizations that perform their own analytics. These competitors include large, well-financed, and technologically sophisticated entities. Some of our current large competitors, such as Optum Analytics and IBM, have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, significantly greater resources than we do, and/or more established distribution networks and relationships with healthcare providers. As a result, our current and potential competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or client requirements. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary products or services to increase the availability of their products or services to the marketplace. Current or future competitors may consolidate to improve the breadth of their products, directly competing with our Solution. Accordingly, new competitors may emerge that have greater market share, larger client bases, greater breadth and volume of data, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, broader offerings, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources, and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage.
Further, in light of these advantages, even if our Solution is more effective than the product or service offerings of our competitors, current or potential clients might select competitive products and services in lieu of purchasing our Solution. We face competition from niche vendors, who offer stand-alone products and services, and from existing enterprise vendors, including those currently focused on software products, which have information systems in place with clients in our target markets. These existing enterprise vendors may now, or in the future, offer or promise products or services with less functionality than our Solution, but offer ease of integration with existing systems and that leverage existing vendor relationships. Increased competition is likely to result in pricing pressures, which could negatively impact our sales, profitability, or market share.
Our patient engagement, population health, and care coordination services face competition from a wide variety of market participants. For example, certain health systems have developed their own population health and care coordination systems. If we fail to distinguish our offerings from the other options available to healthcare providers, the demand for and market share of those offerings may decrease.

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.

As the healthcare industry evolves, changes in our client and vendor bases may reduce the demand for our Solution, result in the termination of existing contracts or certain services provided under existing contracts, and make it more difficult to negotiate new contracts on terms that are acceptable to us. For example, the increasing market share of EHR companies in data analytic services at hospital systems may cause our existing clients to terminate contracts with us in order to engage EHR companies to provide these services. Similarly, client and vendor consolidation results in fewer, larger entities with increased bargaining power and the ability to demand terms that are unfavorable to us. If these trends continue, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to maintain or expand our client base, negotiate contracts with acceptable terms, or maintain our current pricing structure, and our revenue may decrease.
25

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.

Macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, new tariffs, 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.

Recent macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, new tariffs, 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.

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. 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, new tariffs, 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, new public health crises, and macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, and new tariffs), 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.

We may be unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives, business strategies, or operating plans, as well as cost reduction and restructuring initiatives.
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.

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. 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.
26

Any other or future restructuring or cost optimizing efforts may disrupt our operations and performance. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will realize these benefits. If, for any reason, the benefits we realize are less than our estimates or the implementation of these growth initiatives, strategies, operating plans, and cost reduction and restructuring initiatives adversely affect our operations or cost more or take longer to effectuate than we expect, or if our assumptions prove inaccurate, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

If we fail to provide effective professional services and high-quality client support, our business and reputation would suffer.
Our professional services and high-quality, ongoing client support are important to the successful marketing and sale of our products and services and for the renewal of existing client agreements. Providing these services and support requires that our professional services and support personnel have healthcare, technical, and other knowledge and expertise, making it difficult for us to hire qualified personnel and scale our professional services and support operations. The demand on our client support organization will increase as we expand our business and pursue new clients, and such increased support could require us to devote significant development services and support personnel, which could strain our team and infrastructure and reduce our profit margins.

If we do not help our clients quickly resolve any post-implementation issues and provide effective ongoing client support, our ability to sell additional products and services to existing and future clients could suffer and our reputation would be harmed.

Our sales cycles can be long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require a considerable investment of time and expense. If our sales cycle lengthens or we invest substantial resources pursuing unsuccessful sales opportunities, our results of operations and growth would be harmed.

Our sales process entails planning discussions with prospective clients, analyzing their existing solutions, and identifying how these potential clients can use and benefit from our Solution. The sales cycle for a new Platform Client, from the time of prospect qualification to the completion of the first sale, we estimate to typically be approximately one year and in some cases has exceeded two years. While we have a limited operating history selling Health Catalyst Ignite, we believe its sales cycle generally may be shorter. We spend substantial time, effort, and money in our sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will result in the sale of our Solution.

In addition, our sales cycle and timing of sales can vary substantially from client to client because of various factors, including the discretionary nature of potential clients’ purchasing and budget decisions, the announcement or planned introduction of new analytics applications or services by us or our competitors, and the purchasing approval processes of potential clients. Further, the sales cycles of certain Solutions with a more limited operating history, such as TEMS, can be more difficult to predict and, at times, longer than our typical sales cycle. If our sales cycle lengthens, as we experienced in 2022 and 2023, or we invest substantial resources pursuing unsuccessful sales opportunities, our results of operations and growth would be harmed.

Our Solution may not operate properly, which could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against us, or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business and results of operations.

Proprietary software development is time-consuming, expensive, and complex. Unforeseen difficulties can arise. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we will discover additional problems that prevent our applications from operating properly. If our systems do not function reliably or fail to meet user or client expectations in terms of performance, clients could assert liability claims against us or attempt to cancel their contracts with us, and users of our software could choose to cease their use of our Solution. This could damage our reputation and impair our ability to attract or retain clients.

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. Limitations of liability and disclaimers that purport to limit our liability for damages related to defects in our software or content which we may include in our subscription and services agreements may not be enforced by a court or other tribunal or otherwise effectively protect us from related claims.
27

In most cases, we maintain liability insurance coverage, including coverage for errors and omissions. However, it is possible that claims could exceed the amount of our applicable insurance coverage or that this coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts.

In light of this, defects, vulnerabilities, and errors and any failure by us to identify and address them could result in loss of revenue or market share; liability to clients, clinicians, their patients, or others; failure to achieve market acceptance or expansion; diversion of development and management resources; delays in the introduction of new services; injury to our reputation; and increased service and maintenance costs.

Defects, vulnerabilities, or errors in our software and service processes might discourage existing or potential clients from purchasing services from us. Correction of defects, vulnerabilities, or errors could prove to be impossible or impractical. The costs incurred in correcting any defects, vulnerabilities, or errors or in responding to resulting claims or liability may be substantial and could adversely affect our results of operations.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition, our business and results of operations will be harmed.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand recognition is critical to our relationships with existing clients and to our ability to attract new clients. The promotion of our brands may require us to make substantial investments and we anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, these marketing initiatives may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Our marketing activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue, and to the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur and our results of operations could be harmed.

In addition, any factor that diminishes our reputation or that of our management, including failing to meet the expectations of our clients, or any adverse publicity surrounding one of our investors or clients, could make it substantially more difficult for us to attract new clients. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition, our business may not grow and we could lose our relationships with clients, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

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.

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.

Our business could be adversely affected if our clients are not satisfied with our Solution.

We depend on client satisfaction to succeed with respect to our Solution. Our sales organization is dependent on the quality of our offerings, our business reputation, and the strong recommendations from existing clients. If our Solution does not function reliably or fails to meet client expectations in terms of performance and availability, clients could assert claims against us, terminate their contracts with us or publish negative feedback. This could damage our reputation and impair our ability to attract or retain clients. Furthermore, we provide professional services to clients to support their use of our Solution and to achieve measurable clinical, financial, and operational improvements.
28

Any failure to maintain high-quality professional services, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality professional services, could harm our reputation, adversely affect our ability to sell our Solution to existing and prospective clients, and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

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.

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:

•the price, performance, and functionality of our Solution;
•the availability, price, performance, and functionality of competing solutions;
•our ability to develop and sell complementary technology and services;
•the stability, performance, and security of our hosting infrastructure and hosting services;
•our ability to continuously deliver measurable improvements;
•health systems’ demand for professional services to augment their internal data analytics function;
•changes in healthcare laws, regulations, or trends;
•the business environment of our clients and, in particular, our clients’ financial performance and headcount reductions by our clients; and
•the impact of macroeconomic challenges, including the impact of high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, new tariffs, market volatility and measures taken in response thereto, the tight labor market, and the impact of any natural disasters or public health emergencies upon our clients.
We generally enter into subscription contracts with our clients for access to our Solution. Many of these contracts have initial terms of one to three years. Most of our clients have no obligation to renew their subscriptions for our Solution after the initial term expires. Although we have long-term contracts with many clients, these contracts may be terminated by the client (generally, subject to providing us with prior notice) before their term expires for convenience or for certain specified reasons, including changes in the regulatory landscape, loss of certain third-party licenses, or breach of our contractual obligations, including poor performance by us in areas that include repeated failures by us to provide specified levels of service over certain performance periods, or dissatisfaction with changes in our Solution, such as the deployment of Health Catalyst Ignite and the migration of existing clients utilizing our DOS Solution to Health Catalyst Ignite. 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.
29

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 results of operations are likely to fluctuate, and if we fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the trading price of our common stock could decline. Moreover, our stock price may be based on expectations of our future performance that may be unrealistic or that may not be met.

Some of the factors that could cause our financial performance and results of operations to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:

•the extent to which our Solution achieves or maintains market acceptance;
•our ability to introduce new applications, updates, and enhancements to our existing applications on a timely basis;
•new competitors and the introduction of enhanced products and services from new or existing competitors;
•the length of our contracting and implementation cycles and our fulfillment periods for our Solution;
•the mix of revenue generated from professional services as compared to technology subscriptions;
•the extent to which our clients opt for non-recurring project-based work rather than FTE subscription contracts since non-recurring, project-based fees are less predictable than our recurring services and can drive fluctuations in quarterly professional services revenues and in our new Dollar-based Retention Rate metric and in prior period comparisons;
•clients reducing or eliminating their spend with us in response to macroeconomic factors or otherwise;
•the financial condition of our current and future clients;
•changes in client budgets and procurement policies;
•changes in regulations or marketing strategies;
•the impact of macroeconomic challenges, including the high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments, new tariffs, market volatility and measures taken in response thereto, and public health crises and natural disasters on our clients, partners, and business;
•the amount and timing of our investment in research and development activities;
•the amount and timing of our investment in sales and marketing activities;
•technical difficulties or interruptions to our Solution, including related to updates to our technology or technology migrations, in particular, those related to our migration of DOS clients to Health Catalyst Ignite;
•our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel;
•changes in the regulatory environment related to healthcare;
•regulatory compliance costs;
•the timing, size, and integration success of potential future acquisitions;
•unforeseen legal expenses, including litigation and settlement costs; and
•buying patterns of our clients and the related seasonality impacts on our business.

30

Many of these factors are not within our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our results of operations to vary widely. For example, we have experienced, and expect that we will continue to experience, seasonality in the number of new clients that subscribe to our Solution; specifically, new clients (Platform Clients in particular) tend to subscribe to our Solution at higher rates in the second and fourth quarters of the year. Seasonality in our business may cause period-to-period fluctuations in certain of our operating results and financial metrics, and thus limit our ability to predict our future results. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and results of operations may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

A significant portion of our operating expense is relatively fixed in nature in the short term, and planned expenditures are based in part on expectations regarding future revenue and profitability. Accordingly, unexpected revenue shortfalls, lower-than-expected revenue increases as a result of planned expenditures, and longer-than-expected impact on profitability and margins as a result of planned expenditures may decrease our gross margins and profitability and could cause significant changes in our results of operations from quarter to quarter. In addition, our future quarterly results of operations may fluctuate and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the trading price of our common stock could fall substantially, either suddenly or over time.

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.

In the past, we have adjusted our prices as a result of offering new applications and services and client demand. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2018, we began to introduce new pricing for our Solution to new clients and, in 2015, we introduced our subscription model, in each case, the full effect of which we expected would be realized in future years. While we determine our prices based on prior experience, feedback from clients, and other factors and information, our assessments may not be accurate and we could be underpricing or overpricing our Solution, which may require us to continue to adjust our pricing model. Furthermore, as our applications and services change, then we may need to, or choose to, revise our pricing as our prior experience in those areas will be limited. Such changes to our pricing model or our inability to efficiently price our Solution could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition and impact our ability to predict our future performance.

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.

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. Our clinical guidelines, algorithms, and protocols may be viewed as providing healthcare professionals with guidance on care management, care coordination, or treatment decisions. If our content, or content we obtain from third parties, contains inaccuracies, or we introduce inaccuracies in the process of implementing third-party content, it is possible that patients, clinicians, consumers, the providers of the third-party content, or others may sue us if they are harmed as a result of such inaccuracies. We cannot assure you that our software development, editorial, and other quality control procedures will be sufficient to ensure that there are no errors or omissions in any particular content or our software or algorithms.

The assertion of such claims and ensuing litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial cost to us, divert management’s attention from operations, damage our reputation, and decrease market acceptance of our Solution. We attempt to limit by contract our liability for damages, have our clients assume responsibility for clinical treatment, diagnoses, medical oversight, and dosing decisions, and require that our clients assume responsibility for medical care and approve key algorithms, clinical guidelines, clinical protocols, content, and data. Despite these precautions, the allocations of responsibility and limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be enforceable, be binding upon patients, or otherwise protect us from liability for damages.
31

Furthermore, general liability and errors and omissions insurance coverage and medical malpractice liability coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or may not be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims against us. In addition, the insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claim. One or more large claims could exceed our available insurance coverage. If any of these events occur, they could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

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.

Any claims made against us that are not fully covered by insurance could be costly to defend against, result in substantial damage awards against us, and divert the attention of our management and our providers from our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, any claims may adversely affect our business or reputation.

Our increasing reliance on AI and machine learning technologies may expose us to significant risks, including development and deployment challenges, regulatory uncertainties, and potential third-party claims, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We use AI and generative AI, machine learning, and automated decision-making technologies, including proprietary AI and machine learning algorithms and models, (collectively, AI Technologies) throughout our business, and are making investments in this area.

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.
AI Technologies have been known to produce false or “hallucinatory” inferences or outputs and may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, or other challenges. In particular, if the models underlying our AI Technologies are: incorrectly designed or implemented; trained or reliant on incomplete, flawed, inadequate, inaccurate, biased, or otherwise poor quality data, or on data to which we do not have sufficient rights or in relation to which we and/or the providers of such data have not implemented sufficient legal compliance measures; used without sufficient oversight and governance to ensure their responsible use; and/or adversely impacted by unforeseen defects, technical challenges, cybersecurity threats or material performance issues, any of which may not be easily detectable, the performance of our Solution, and business, as well as our reputation and the reputations of our clients, could suffer or we could incur liability resulting from the violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party or civil claims.

In addition, market acceptance, understanding, and valuation of and consumer perceptions of platforms, products, and programs that incorporate AI Technology is uncertain and the perceived value of our AI Technologies could be inaccurate. For example, inappropriate or controversial data practices by developers and end-users, or other factors adversely affecting public opinion of AI Technologies, could impair the acceptance of such AI Technologies, including those incorporated in our Solution. Our failure to successfully develop AI Technologies and apply AI Technologies to our Solution could depress the market price of our stock and impair our ability to: raise capital; expand our business; provide, improve, and diversify our Solution, platform and service offerings; continue our operations and efficiently manage our operating expenses; and respond effectively to competitive developments.

In addition to our proprietary AI Technologies, we use AI Technologies licensed from third parties, including in our Solution, and our ability to continue to use such third-party AI Technologies at the scale we need may be dependent on access to specific third-party software and infrastructure. We cannot control the availability or pricing of such third-party AI Technologies, especially in a highly competitive environment, and we may be unable to negotiate favorable economic terms with the applicable providers. If any such third-party AI Technologies become incompatible with our Solution and programs or unavailable for use, or if the providers of such models unfavorably change the terms on which their AI Technologies are offered or terminate their relationship with us, our Solution may become less appealing to our clients and our business will be harmed.


32

In addition, to the extent any third-party AI Technologies are used as a hosted service, any disruption, outage, or loss of information through such hosted services could disrupt our operations or solutions, damage our reputation, cause a loss of confidence in our Solution, or result in legal claims or proceedings, for which we may be unable to recover damages from the affected provider.

Moreover, 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 our 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.

Already, certain existing legal regimes, such as various U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies relating to data privacy, regulate certain aspects of AI Technologies, and various U.S. states and other foreign jurisdictions are applying, or are considering applying, their platform moderation, cybersecurity, and data protection laws to AI Technologies or are considering general legal frameworks for the regulation of AI Technologies. In the United States, the Trump administration has rescinded an executive order relating to the safe and secure development of AI Technologies that was previously implemented by the Biden administration. The Trump administration then issued a new executive order that, among other things, requires certain agencies to develop and submit to the President action plans to “sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance,” and to specifically review rulemaking taken pursuant to the rescinded Biden executive order and, if possible, rescind any such rulemaking to the extent it is consistent with, or presents a barrier to, the Trump administration’s new executive order. Thus, the Trump administration may continue to rescind other existing federal orders and/or administrative policies relating to AI Technologies, or may implement new executive orders and/or other rule making relating to AI Technologies in the future. Any such changes at the federal level could require us to expend significant resources to modify our products, services, or operations to ensure compliance or remain competitive. Legislation related to AI Technologies has also been introduced at the federal level and is advancing at the state level. For example, the California Privacy Protection Agency is currently in the process of finalizing regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Acct (collectively, the CCPA) regarding the use of automated decision-making. California also enacted several new laws in 2024 that further regulate use of AI Technologies and provide consumers with additional protections around companies’ use of AI Technologies, such as requiring companies to disclose certain uses of generative AI. Other states have also passed AI-focused legislation, such as Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act, which will require developers and deployers of “high risk” AI systems to implement certain safeguards against algorithmic discrimination, and Utah’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, which establishes disclosure requirements and accountability measures for the use of generative AI in certain consumer interactions. Such additional regulations may impact our ability to develop and use AI Technologies in the future.

It is possible that further 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 as well as scope of practice 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 Solution and business and the way in which we use AI Technologies. We may not be able to anticipate how to respond to these rapidly evolving frameworks, and we may need to expend resources to adjust our Solution, platform and service offerings in certain jurisdictions if the laws, regulations, or decisions are not consistent across jurisdictions. Further, because AI Technology itself is highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all of the legal, operational or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI. The cost to comply with such laws, regulations, or decisions and/or guidance interpreting existing laws, could be significant and would increase our operating expenses (such as by imposing additional reporting obligations regarding our use of AI Technologies or limiting our use of AI Technologies to support our care team). Such an increase in operating expenses, as well as any actual or perceived failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend and could result in additional liabilities.

We may from time to time be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our clients or vendors in connection with commercial disputes, litigation related to intellectual property, and employment claims made by our current or former employees. Claims may also be asserted by or on behalf of a variety of other parties, including government agencies, patients or vendors of our clients, or stockholders. Any litigation involving us may result in substantial costs, operationally restrict our business, and may divert management’s attention and resources, which may seriously harm our business, overall financial condition, and results of operations.


33

Insurance may not cover existing or future claims, be sufficient to fully compensate us for one or more of such claims, or continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, thereby reducing our results of operations and resulting in a reduction in the trading price of our stock.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our largest clients. The loss, termination, or renegotiation of any contract could negatively impact our results.

Historically, we have relied on a limited number of clients for a significant portion of our total revenue and accounts receivable. Our three largest clients during 2024 comprised 5.5%, 4.4%, and 3.9% of our revenue, or 13.8% in the aggregate. Our three largest clients during 2023 comprised 5.5%, 3.6%, and 3.5% of our revenue, or 12.6% in the aggregate. The sudden loss of any of our largest clients or the renegotiation of any of our largest client contracts could adversely affect our results of operations. In the ordinary course of business, we engage in active discussions and renegotiations with our clients in respect of our Solution and the terms of our client agreements, including our fees.

As our clients’ businesses respond to market dynamics and financial pressures, and as our clients make strategic business decisions in respect of the lines of business they pursue and programs in which they participate, we expect that certain of our clients will, from time to time, seek to restructure their agreements with us. In the ordinary course, we renegotiate the terms of our agreements with our clients in connection with renewals or extensions of these agreements. These discussions and future discussions could result in reductions to the fees and changes to the scope of services contemplated by our original client contracts and consequently could negatively impact our revenue, business, and prospects.

Because we rely on a limited number of clients for a significant portion of our revenue, we depend on the creditworthiness of these clients. Our clients are subject to a number of risks including reductions in payment rates from governmental payors, higher than expected healthcare costs, and lack of predictability of financial results when entering new lines of business. If the financial condition of our clients declines, our credit risk could increase. Should one or more of our significant clients declare bankruptcy, be declared insolvent, or otherwise be restricted by state or federal laws or regulation from continuing in some or all of their operations, this could adversely affect our ongoing revenue, the collectability of our accounts receivable, our bad debt reserves and net income.

Because we generally recognize technology and professional services revenue ratably over the term of the contract for our services, a significant downturn in our business may not be reflected immediately in our results of operations, which increases the difficulty of evaluating our future financial performance.

We generally recognize technology and professional services revenue ratably over the term of a contract. As a result, a substantial portion of our revenue is generated from contracts entered into during prior periods. Consequently, a decline in new contracts in any quarter may not affect our results of operations in that quarter but could reduce our revenue in future quarters. Additionally, the timing of renewals or non-renewals of a contract during any quarter may only affect our financial performance in future quarters. For example, the non-renewal of a subscription agreement late in a quarter will have minimal impact on revenue for that quarter but will reduce our revenue in future quarters.

Accordingly, the effect of significant declines in sales may not be reflected in our short-term results of operations, which would make these reported results less indicative of our future financial results. By contrast, a non-renewal occurring early in a quarter may have a significant negative impact on revenue for that quarter and we may not be able to offset a decline in revenue due to non-renewal with revenue from new contracts entered into in the same quarter. In addition, we may be unable to quickly adjust our costs in response to reduced revenue.

If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

As a public company, we are required to maintain internal controls over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal controls. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We are also required to provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Many of the internal controls we have implemented pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are process controls with respect to which a material weakness may be found whether or not any error has been identified in our reported financial statements. This may be confusing to investors and result in damage to our reputation, which may harm our business.


34

Additionally, the proper design and assessment of internal controls over financial reporting are subject to varying interpretations, and, as a result, application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies and as common practices evolve. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding the proper design and assessment of internal controls over financial reporting and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to internal controls. We must continue to monitor and assess our internal control over financial reporting.

If in the future we have any material weaknesses, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. Additionally, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, are unable to assert that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, identify material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, and the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

We may acquire other companies or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in dilution to our stockholders, and otherwise disrupt our operations and we may have difficulty integrating any such acquisitions successfully or realizing the anticipated benefits therefrom, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We expect to continue to seek to acquire or invest in businesses, applications, services, or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our Solution, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated. We have in the past and may in the future have difficulty integrating acquired businesses. Between January 1, 2020 and January 31, 2025, we acquired Able Health, Healthfinch, Vitalware, Twistle, ARMUS, KPI Ninja, ERS, Carevive, Lumeon, Intraprise and Upfront. We may have difficulty cross-selling our Solution to acquired clients, and we may have difficulty integrating, or incur integration-related costs associated with, newly acquired team members.

If we acquire additional businesses, we may not be able to integrate the acquired personnel, operations, and technologies successfully, or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition. We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
•inability to integrate or benefit from acquired technologies or services in a profitable manner;
•unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;
•difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations, and personnel of the acquired business;
•difficulties and additional expenses associated with supporting legacy products and hosting infrastructure of the acquired business;
•difficulty converting the clients of the acquired business onto our Ignite platform and contract terms, including disparities in the revenue, licensing, support, or professional services model of the acquired business;
•diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
•adverse effects on our existing business relationships with business partners and clients as a result of the acquisition;
•the potential loss of key employees;
•use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and
•use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition.
In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. If our acquisitions do not yield expected returns or fair value estimates deteriorate, we may be required to take charges to our results of operations based on this impairment assessment process, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
35

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may suffer. Also, the anticipated benefit of any acquisition may not materialize or may be prohibited by contractual obligations we may enter into in the future with lenders or other third parties. Additionally, future acquisitions or dispositions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, or amortization expenses or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. We cannot predict the number, timing, or size of future acquisitions, or the effect that any such transactions might have on our results of operations.

Because competition for our target employees is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our continued growth.

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 depend on our senior management team, and the loss of one or more of our executive officers or key employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could adversely affect our business.

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.

Our corporate culture has contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, creativity, and teamwork fostered by our culture, which could harm our business.

We believe that our corporate culture has been an important contributor to our success, which we believe fosters innovation, teamwork, and passion for providing high levels of client satisfaction. As we continue to grow, we must effectively integrate, develop, and motivate a growing number of new employees. As a result, we may find it difficult to maintain our corporate culture, which could limit our ability to innovate and operate effectively. Any failure to preserve our culture could also negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel, maintain our performance, or execute on our business strategy.

36

If we fail to effectively manage our growth and organizational change, our business and results of operations could be 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.

Failure to effectively manage our growth or organizational changes could lead us to over-invest or under-invest in technology and operations; result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, systems, or controls; give rise to operational mistakes, losses, or loss of productivity or business opportunities; reduce client or user satisfaction; limit our ability to respond to competitive pressures; and result in loss of team members and reduced productivity of remaining team members. Our growth or organizational changes could require significant capital expenditures and may divert financial resources and management attention from other projects, such as the development of new or enhanced services or the acquisition of suitable businesses or technologies. If our management is unable to effectively manage our growth or organizational changes, our expenses may increase more than expected, cost savings may not be realized, our revenue could decline or may grow more slowly than expected, and we may be unable to implement our business strategy, and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may indicate growth.

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. Our future growth may also be driven by expansion into adjacent markets and/or international expansion. We can provide no assurances that we will be successful in executing on these growth strategies or that we will continue to grow our revenue or to generate net income. Our historical results may not be indicative of future performance.

Our ability to execute on our existing sales pipeline, create additional sales pipelines, and expand our client base depends on, among other things, the attractiveness of our Solution relative to those offered by our competitors, our ability to demonstrate the value of our existing and future services, and our ability to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales and marketing leadership and support personnel. In addition, our existing clients may be slower to adopt our Solution than we currently anticipate, which could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.

Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business may not grow at similar rates, or at all.

Our market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates which may not prove to be accurate. The estimates and forecasts relating to the size and expected growth of our target market may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the markets in which we compete meet the size estimates and growth forecasts, our business may not grow at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties.

37

Risks Related to Data and Intellectual Property

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.

We require our clients to provide necessary notices and to obtain necessary permissions and waivers for use and disclosure of the information that we receive, and we require contractual assurances from them that they have done so and will do so. If they do not obtain necessary permissions and waivers, then our use and disclosure of information that we receive from them or on their behalf may be restricted or prohibited by state, federal, or international privacy or data protection laws, or other related privacy and data protection laws. This could impair our functions, processes, and databases that reflect, contain, or are based upon such data and may prevent the use of such data, including our ability to provide such data to third parties that are incorporated into our service offerings.

Furthermore, this may cause us to breach obligations to third parties to whom we may provide such data, such as third-party service or technology providers that are incorporated into our service offerings. In addition, this could interfere with or prevent data sourcing, data analyses, or limit other data-driven activities that benefit us. Moreover, we may be subject to claims, civil and/or criminal liability or government or state attorneys general investigations for use or disclosure of information by reason of lack of valid notice, permission, or waiver. These claims, liabilities or government or state attorneys general investigations could subject us to unexpected costs and adversely affect our 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.

Our Solution involves the storage and transmission of our clients’ proprietary information, including personal or identifying information regarding patients and their protected health information (PHI). Despite the implementation of security measures, our information technology systems and those of our clients, contractors, consultants, and collaborators are vulnerable to attack, damage and interruption from cyberattacks, “phishing” attacks, computer viruses and malware (e.g., ransomware), natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, employee theft or misuse, human error, fraud, denial or degradation of service attacks, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state-supported actors or unauthorized access or use by persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization. Attacks upon information technology systems are increasing in their frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication, and intensity, and are being conducted by sophisticated and organized groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise.

We may also face increased cybersecurity risks due to our reliance on internet technology and the number of our employees who are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Further, political and international uncertainty, competition and disputes, including the war involving Russia and Ukraine, could create tension that results in cyber-attacks or cybersecurity incidents that could either directly or indirectly impact our operations. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period.

Moreover, the detection, prevention, and remediation of known or unknown security vulnerabilities, including those arising from third-party hardware or software, may result in additional direct or indirect costs and management time. Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate incidents or breaches due to attackers increasingly using tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence.

As a result, unauthorized access or security breaches as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance, or otherwise could result in the loss or inappropriate use of information, litigation, indemnity obligations, damage to our reputation, and other liability such as government or state Attorney General investigations.

We and certain of our service providers are from time to time subject to cyberattacks and security incidents. While we do not believe that we have experienced any significant system failure, accident, or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could adversely affect our ability to attract new clients, cause existing clients to elect to not renew their subscriptions, result in reputational damage, or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines, mandatory disclosures, or other action or liability, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our general liability insurance may not be adequate to cover all potential claims to which we are exposed and may not be adequate to indemnify us for liability that may be imposed or the losses associated with such events, and in any case, such insurance may not cover all of the specific costs, expenses, and losses we could incur in responding to and remediating a security breach. A security breach of another significant provider of cloud-based solutions may also negatively impact the demand for our Solution.
38

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 data platform requires us to source data from multiple clinical, financial, and operational data sources, which sources are also typically third-party vendors of our clients. The functioning of our analytics applications and our ability to perform analytics services is predicated on our ability to establish interfaces that download the relevant data from these source systems on a repeated basis and in a reliable manner. We may encounter vendors that engage in information blocking practices that may inhibit our ability to access the relevant data on behalf of clients or impose new or additional costs.

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services promulgated final rules to support access, exchange, and use of electronic health information (EHI), referred to as the Final Rule. The Final Rule is intended to clarify provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act regarding interoperability and information blocking, and, subject to the interpretations of the Final Rule, and exceptions to what constitutes information blocking, may create significant new requirements for healthcare industry participants. The Final Rule requires certain electronic health record technology to incorporate standardized application programming interfaces to allow individuals to securely and easily access structured EHI using smartphone applications, provides patients with certain rights to electronic access to their EHI (structured and/or unstructured) at no cost and implements the information blocking provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act, subject to eight exceptions that will not be considered information blocking as long as specific conditions are met. In April 2023, the ONC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would modify certain components of the Final Rule, including modifying and expanding certain exceptions to the information blocking regulations, which are intended to support information sharing. The impact of the Final Rule on our business is unclear at this time, due to, among other things, uncertainty regarding the interpretation of safe harbors and exceptions to the Final Rule by industry participants and regulators.

The Final Rule focuses on health plans, payors, and healthcare providers and proposes measures to enable patients to move from health plan to health plan, provider to provider, and have both their clinical and administrative information travel with them. It is unclear whether the Final Rule may benefit us in that certain EHR vendors will no longer be permitted to interfere with our attempts at integration, but the rules may also make it easier for other similar companies to enter the market, creating increased competition, and reducing our market share. It is unclear at this time what the costs of compliance with the proposed rules, if adopted, would be, and what additional risks there may be to our business. If we face limitations on the development of data interfaces and other information blocking practices, including the imposition of increased fees, our data access and ability to download relevant data may be limited, which could adversely affect our ability to provide our Solution as effectively as possible. Any steps we take to enforce the anti-information blocking provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act could be costly, could distract management attention from the business, and could have uncertain results.

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.

Our Solution is generally hosted from and uses computing infrastructure provided by third parties, including Microsoft Azure and other computing infrastructure service providers. We have migrated and expect to continue to migrate a significant portion of our DOS and analytics application computing infrastructure needs to Microsoft Azure. We have made and expect to continue to make substantial investments in transitioning DOS clients from our own managed data center to Microsoft Azure and the migration of clients to the next iteration of our DOS platform. This transition has increased and we anticipate it will continue to increase the cost of hosting our technology and negatively impact our technology gross margin. Such migrations are risky and may cause disruptions to our Solution, service outages, downtime, or other problems and may increase our costs. Despite precautions taken during such transitions, any unsuccessful transition of technology may impair clients’ use of our technology which may cause greater costs or downtime and which may lead to, among other things, client dissatisfaction and non-renewals.

Our computing infrastructure service providers have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, or if one of our computing infrastructure service providers is acquired, we may be required to transition to a new provider and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so. Problems faced by our computing infrastructure service providers, including those operated by Microsoft, could adversely affect the experience of our clients. Microsoft Azure and other infrastructure vendors have had and may in the future experience significant service outages. Additionally, if our computing infrastructure service providers are unable to keep up with our growing needs for capacity, this could have an adverse effect on our business. For example, a rapid expansion of our business could affect our service levels or cause our third-party hosted systems to fail. Our agreements with third-party computing infrastructure service providers may not entitle us to service level credits that correspond with those we offer to our clients.

Any changes in third-party service levels at our computing infrastructure service providers, or any related disruptions or performance problems with our Solution, could adversely affect our reputation and may damage our clients’ data, information and/or stored files, result in lengthy interruptions in our services, or result in potential losses of client data. Interruptions in our services might reduce our revenue, cause us to issue refunds to clients for prepaid and unused subscriptions, subject us to service level credit claims and potential liability, allow our clients to terminate their contracts with us, or adversely affect our renewal rates.

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.

In addition to the services we provide from our offices, we serve our clients primarily from third-party data-hosting facilities. These facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, and similar events. They are also subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism, and similar misconduct.

Their systems and servers could also be subject to hacking, spamming, ransomware, computer viruses or other malicious software, denial of service attacks, service disruptions, including the inability to process certain transactions, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access attempts, including third parties gaining access to users’ accounts using stolen or inferred credentials or other means, and may use such access to prevent use of users’ accounts.

Despite precautions taken at these facilities, the occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice, or other unanticipated problems at two or more of the facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. Even with our disaster recovery arrangements, our Solution could be interrupted.

Our ability to deliver our Internet- and telecommunications-based services is dependent on the development and maintenance of the infrastructure of the Internet and other telecommunications services by third parties. This includes maintenance of a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity, and security for providing reliable Internet access and services and reliable mobile device, telephone, facsimile, and pager systems, all at a predictable and reasonable cost. We have experienced and expect that we will experience interruptions and delays in services and availability of our Solution from time to time.

We rely on internal systems as well as third-party vendors, including data center, bandwidth, and telecommunications equipment or service providers, to provide our Solution. We do not maintain redundant systems or facilities for portions of our Solution. In the event of a catastrophic event with respect to one or more of these systems or facilities, we may experience an extended period of system unavailability, which could negatively impact our relationship with users or clients. To operate without interruption, both we and our service providers must guard against:

•damage from fire, power loss, and other natural disasters;
•communications failures;
•software and hardware errors, failures, and crashes;
•security breaches, computer viruses, ransomware, and similar disruptive problems; and
•other potential interruptions.
Any disruption in the network access, telecommunications, or co-location services provided by these third-party providers or any failure of or by these third-party providers or our own systems to handle the current or higher volume of use could significantly harm our ability to deliver our Solution and our business. We exercise limited control over these third-party vendors, which increases our vulnerability to problems with the services they provide.

Any errors, failures, interruptions, or delays experienced in connection with these third-party technologies and information services or our own systems could negatively impact our relationships with users and clients, adversely affect our brands and business, and expose us to third-party liabilities. The insurance coverage under our policies may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at an acceptable cost.
40

The reliability and performance of the Internet may be harmed by increased usage or by denial-of-service attacks. The Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damages to portions of its infrastructure, and it could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could reduce the level of Internet usage as well as the availability of the Internet to us for delivery of our Internet-based services. We typically provide service level commitments under our client contracts. If we fail to meet these contractual commitments, we could be obligated to provide credits or refunds for prepaid amounts related to unused subscription services or face contract terminations, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Finally, recent changes in law could impact the cost and availability of necessary Internet infrastructure. Increased costs and/or decreased availability would negatively affect our results of operations.

Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in access to the Internet generally.

The future success of our business depends upon the continued use of the Internet as a primary medium for communication, business applications, and commerce. Federal or state government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the Internet as a commercial medium. Legislators, regulators, or government bodies or agencies may also make legal or regulatory changes or interpret or apply existing laws or regulations that relate to the use of the Internet in new and materially different ways. Changes in these laws, regulations, or interpretations could require us to modify our Solution in order to comply with these changes, to incur substantial additional costs or divert resources that could otherwise be deployed to grow our business, or expose us to unanticipated civil or criminal liability, among other things. In addition, government agencies and private organizations have imposed, and may in the future impose, additional taxes, fees, or other charges for accessing the Internet or commerce conducted via the Internet. Internet access is frequently provided by companies that have significant market power and could take actions that degrade, disrupt, or increase the cost of our clients’ use of our Solution, which could negatively impact our business. Net neutrality rules, which were designed to ensure that all online content is treated the same by Internet service providers and other companies that provide broadband services were repealed by the Federal Communications Commission effective June 2018. The repeal of the net neutrality rules could force us to incur greater operating expenses or our clients’ use of our Solution could be adversely affected, either of which could harm our business and results of operations.

These developments could limit the growth of Internet-related commerce or communications generally or result in reductions in the demand for Internet-based platforms and services such as ours, increased costs to us or the disruption of our business. In addition, as the Internet continues to experience growth in the numbers of users, frequency of use, and amount of data transmitted, the use of the Internet as a business tool could be adversely affected due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of Internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility, and quality of service. The performance of the Internet and its acceptance as a business tool has been adversely affected by “viruses,” “worms,” and similar malicious programs and the Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If the use of the Internet generally, or our Solution specifically, is adversely affected by these or other issues, we could be forced to incur substantial costs, demand for our Solution could decline, and our results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Our Solution utilizes open-source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source licenses could adversely affect our business.

We use software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under “open-source” licenses in our Solution. Some open-source licenses contain affirmative obligations or restrictive terms that could adversely impact our business, such as restrictions on commercialization or obligations to make available modified or derivative works of certain open-source code. If we were to combine our proprietary software with certain open-source software subject to these licenses in a certain manner, we could, under certain open-source licenses, be required to release or otherwise make available the source code to our proprietary software to the public. This would allow our competitors to create similar products with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of product sales for us. Although we employ practices designed to manage our compliance with open-source licenses and protect our proprietary source code, we may inadvertently use open-source software in a manner we do not intend and that could expose us to claims for breach of contract and intellectual property infringement. If we are held to have breached the terms of an open-source software license, we could be required to, among other things, seek licenses from third parties to continue offering our products on terms that are not economically feasible, pay damages to third parties, to re-engineer our products, to discontinue the sale of our products if re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, or to make generally available, in source code form, a portion of our proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The terms of many open-source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and, as a result, there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our Solution.
41

We employ third-party licensed software and software components for use in or with our Solution, and the inability to maintain these licenses or the presence of errors in the software we license could limit the functionality of our Solution and result in increased costs or reduced service levels, which would adversely affect our business.

Our software applications might incorporate or interact with certain third-party software and software components (other than open-source software), such as data visualization software, obtained under licenses from other companies. We pay these third parties a license fee or royalty payment. We anticipate that we will continue to use such third-party software in the future. Although we believe that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software we currently make available, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to replace. Furthermore, these third parties may increase the price for licensing their software, which could negatively impact our results of operations. Our use of additional or alternative third-party software could require clients to enter into license agreements with third parties. In addition, if the third-party software we make available has errors or otherwise malfunctions, or if the third-party terminates its agreement with us, the functionality of our Solution may be negatively impacted and our business may suffer.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our intellectual property. As of December 31, 2024, we had filed applications for a number of patents, and we have fourteen issued U.S. patents, four issued Canadian patents, one issued Great Britain patent, and one issued European patent, as well as one utility patent application pending in the United States. We also had thirty-nine registered trademarks in the United States, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and China. We also rely on copyright and trademark laws, trade secret protection, and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, clients, partners, and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. For example, other parties, including our competitors, may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our services, or design around our intellectual property and, in such cases, we may not be able to assert our intellectual property rights against such parties.

Further, our contractual arrangements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information, and we may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. We make business decisions about when to seek patent protection for a particular technology and when to rely upon trade secret protection, and the approach we select may ultimately prove to be inadequate. Even in cases where we seek patent protection, there is no assurance that the resulting patents will effectively protect every significant feature of our Solution, technology, or proprietary information, or provide us with any competitive advantages. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that any of our pending patent applications will issue or be approved. The United States Patent and Trademark Office and various foreign governmental patent agencies also require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment, and other similar provisions during the patent application process and after a patent has issued.

There are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent, or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. If this occurs, our competitors might be able to enter the market, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Effective trademark, copyright, patent, and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we conduct business. Further, intellectual property law, including statutory and case law, particularly in the United States, is constantly developing, and any changes in the law could make it harder for us to enforce our rights.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming, and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights.

An adverse determination of any litigation proceedings could put our intellectual property at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put our related pending patent applications at risk of not issuing. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential or sensitive information could be compromised by disclosure in the event of litigation. In addition, during the course of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions, or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
42

Negative publicity related to a decision by us to initiate such enforcement actions against a client or former client, regardless of its accuracy, may adversely impact our other client relationships or prospective client relationships, harm our brand and business, and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Our failure to secure, protect, and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our brand and our business.

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights or misappropriation of intellectual property.

There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our future success depends in part on not infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, including so-called non-practicing entities (NPEs), may own or claim to own intellectual property relating to our Solution. From time to time, third parties have claimed or may claim that we are infringing upon their intellectual property rights or that we have misappropriated their intellectual property.

For example, in some cases, very broad patents are granted that may be interpreted as covering a wide field of healthcare data storage and analytics solutions or machine learning and predictive modeling methods in healthcare. As competition in our market grows, the possibility of patent infringement, trademark infringement, and other intellectual property claims against us increases. In the future, we expect others to claim that our Solution and underlying technology infringe or violate their intellectual property rights. In a patent infringement claim against us, we may assert, as a defense, that we do not infringe the relevant patent claims, that the patent is invalid or both. The strength of our defenses will depend on the patents asserted, the interpretation of these patents, and our ability to invalidate the asserted patents. However, we could be unsuccessful in advancing non-infringement and/or invalidity arguments in our defense. In the United States, issued patents enjoy a presumption of validity, and the party challenging the validity of a patent claim must present clear and convincing evidence of invalidity, which is a high burden of proof. Conversely, the patent owner need only prove infringement by a preponderance of the evidence, which is a lower burden of proof.

We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights that others may claim cover some or all of our technology or services. Because patent applications can take years to issue and are often afforded confidentiality for some period of time there may currently be pending applications, unknown to us, that later result in issued patents that could cover one or more aspects of our technology and services. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, whether or not successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages, ongoing royalty or license payments, or settlement fees, prevent us from offering our Solution or using certain technologies, require us to re-engineer all or a portion of our platform, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to indemnify our clients or business partners or pay substantial settlement costs, including royalty payments, in connection with any such claim or litigation and to obtain licenses, modify applications, or refund fees, which could be costly. Even if we were to prevail in such a dispute, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.

Risks Related to Governmental Regulation
Risks Related to Healthcare and Data Privacy and Security Regulation
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.
•Health information privacy and security laws. There are numerous federal and state laws and regulations that govern the privacy and security of health information. In particular, HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, and regulations implemented thereunder (collectively, HIPAA) imposes, among other things, certain standards relating to the privacy, security, transmission and breach reporting of PHI, as defined under HIPAA. By processing and maintaining PHI on behalf of our covered entity clients, we are a HIPAA business associate and are required to enter into business associate agreements (BAAs) with our covered entity clients to safeguard PHI, as well as BAAs with our subcontractors that access or otherwise process PHI on our behalf.
We may not be able to adequately address the business risks created by HIPAA implementation. Furthermore, we are unable to predict what changes to HIPAA or other laws or regulations might be made in the future or how those changes could affect our business or the costs of compliance. We are unable to predict what, if any, impact the changes in such standards will have on our compliance costs or our Solution. Penalties for failure to comply with a requirement of HIPAA vary significantly depending on the nature of violation and could include civil monetary or criminal penalties. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit under HIPAA on behalf of state residents. Courts can award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases.
43

While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for HIPAA violations, its standards have been used as the basis for a duty of care claim in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI. Certain states have also adopted privacy and security laws and regulations, some of which may be more stringent than HIPAA. Such laws and regulations will be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities, thus creating potentially complex compliance issues for us and our future clients and strategic partners.
Some of our analytics applications, including, for example, one of our benchmarking applications, require that we obtain permissions consistent with HIPAA to provide “data aggregation services” and the right to create de-identified information and to use and disclose such de-identified information. We may require large sets of de-identified information to enable us to continue to develop machine learning algorithms that enhance our Solution. If we are unable to secure these rights in client BAAs or as a result of any future changes to HIPAA or other applicable laws, we may face limitations on the use of PHI and our ability to use de-identified information that could negatively affect the scope of our Solution as well as impair our ability to provide upgrades and enhancements to our Solution.
We outsource important aspects of the storage and transmission of client information and PHI, and thus rely on third parties to manage functions that have material cybersecurity risks. We attempt to address these risks by requiring outsourcing subcontractors who handle client information to sign BAAs contractually requiring those subcontractors to adequately safeguard PHI in a similar manner that applies to us and in some cases by requiring such outsourcing subcontractors to undergo third‑party security examinations as well as to protect the confidentiality of other sensitive client information. In addition, we periodically hire third‑party security experts to assess and test our security measures. However, we cannot be assured that these contractual measures and other safeguards will adequately protect us from the risks associated with the storage and transmission of our clients' confidential and proprietary information and PHI.
•Consumer protection laws. Furthermore, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also has authority to initiate enforcement actions against entities that mislead customers about HIPAA compliance, make deceptive statements about privacy and data sharing in privacy policies, fail to limit third-party use of personal health information, fail to implement policies to protect personal health information or engage in other unfair practices that harm customers or that may violate Section 5(a) of the FTC Act. According to the FTC, failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure can also constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act. The FTC expects a company’s data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the sensitivity and volume of consumer information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of available tools to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities. Additionally, federal and state consumer protection laws are increasingly being applied by FTC and states' attorneys general to regulate the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal or personally identifiable information, through websites or otherwise, and to regulate the presentation of website content.
•State data protection laws. Certain states have also adopted privacy and security laws and regulations, which govern the privacy, processing, and protection of health-related and other personal information. Such laws and regulations will be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities, thus creating potentially complex compliance issues for us and our future clients and strategic partners. For example, the CCPA requires covered businesses that process the personal information of California residents to, among other things: (i) provide certain disclosures to California residents regarding the business’s collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information; (ii) receive and respond to requests from California residents to access, delete, and correct their personal information, or to opt out of certain disclosures of their personal information; and (iii) enter into specific contractual provisions with service providers that process California resident personal information on the business’s behalf. Additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required. Similar laws have passed in other states, and are continuing to be proposed at the state and federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. If we fail to comply with any of these privacy laws that apply to us, and are subject to the aforementioned penalties, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.
•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.

44

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. On July 10, 2023, the European Commission adopted its Adequacy Decision in relation to the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), rendering the DPF effective as a GDPR transfer mechanism to U.S. entities self-certified under the DPF.
We expect the existing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding international personal data transfers to continue. In particular, we expect the DPF Adequacy Decision to be challenged and international transfers to the United States and to other jurisdictions more generally to continue to be subject to enhanced scrutiny by regulators. As a result, we may have to make certain operational changes and we will have to implement revised standard contractual clauses. As supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data export mechanisms, including circumstances where the SCCs cannot be used, and/or start taking enforcement action, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, and/or if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we provide our services, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results. Any failure by us to comply with GDPR could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, which may subject us to significant penalties and negative publicity, require us to change our business practices, and increase our costs and severely disrupt our business. Further, from January 1, 2021, companies have had to comply with the GDPR and also the UK GDPR, which, together with the amended UK Data Protection Act 2018, retains the GDPR in UK national law.
The UK GDPR mirrors the fines under the GDPR, e.g., fines up to the greater of €20 million (£17.5 million) or 4% of global turnover. On October 12, 2023, the UK Extension to the DPF came into effect (as approved by the UK Government), as a UK GDPR data transfer mechanism to U.S. entities self-certified under the UK Extension to the DPF. As we continue to expand into other foreign countries and jurisdictions, we may be subject to additional laws and regulations that may affect how we conduct business.

•Canadian data privacy protection laws. Similarly, Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act provides Canadian residents with privacy protections in regard to transactions with businesses and organizations in the private sector and sets out ground rules for how private-sector organizations may collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. Foreign governments may attempt to apply such laws extraterritorially or through treaties or other arrangements with U.S. governmental entities.
•Other jurisdictions besides the EU and Canada are similarly introducing or enhancing laws and regulations relating to privacy and data security, which enhances risks relating to compliance with such laws. Furthermore, as we enter into business arrangements in countries outside of the United States, we will need to be prepared to comply with applicable local privacy laws. The GDPR and other changes in laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of personal data, such as health-related data or other sensitive information, could greatly increase our cost of providing our products and services or even prevent us from offering certain services in jurisdictions that we operate.
•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.
45

We may need to expend resources to adjust our Solution or services in certain jurisdictions if the laws, regulations, or decisions are not consistent across jurisdictions. Further, the cost to comply with such laws, regulations, or decisions and/or guidance interpreting existing laws, could be significant and would increase our operating expenses (such as by imposing additional reporting obligations regarding our use of AI Technologies). Such an increase in operating expenses, as well as any actual or perceived failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We cannot be certain that the privacy policies and other statements regarding our practices will be found sufficient to protect us from liability or adverse publicity relating to the privacy and security of personal information. There is ongoing concern from privacy advocates, regulators, and others regarding data protection and privacy issues, and the number of jurisdictions with data protection and privacy laws has been increasing. Also, there are ongoing public policy discussions regarding whether the standards for de-identified, anonymous, or pseudonymized health information are sufficient, and the risk of re-identification sufficiently small, to adequately protect patient privacy. We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection, and information security in the United States, including the CCPA, and we cannot yet determine the impact such laws, regulations, and standards may have on our business. Future laws, regulations, standards, and other obligations, and changes in the interpretation of existing laws, regulations, standards, and other obligations could impair our or our clients’ ability to collect, use, or disclose information relating to consumers, which could decrease demand for our Solution, increase our costs, and impair our ability to maintain and grow our client base and increase our revenue. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with international, federal or state laws or regulations, industry standards, or other legal obligations, or any actual or suspected security incident, whether or not resulting in unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release, or transfer of personally identifiable information or other data, may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines, and penalties or adverse publicity and could cause our clients to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business.

We may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and our ability to develop new products and features could be limited. Any of these developments could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Privacy and data security concerns, whether valid or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our Solution.

Government regulation of healthcare creates risks and challenges with respect to our compliance efforts and our business strategies.

Many healthcare laws are complex, and their application to specific services and relationships may not be clear. In particular, many existing healthcare laws and regulations, when enacted, did not anticipate the data analytics and improvement services that we provide, and these laws and regulations may be applied to our Solution in ways that we do not anticipate, particularly as we develop and release new and more sophisticated solutions. Our failure to accurately anticipate the application of these laws and regulations, or our other failure to comply with them, could create significant liability for us, result in adverse publicity, and negatively affect our business. Some of the risks we face or may face from healthcare regulation are described below.
The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving anything of value, directly or indirectly, for the referral of patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal healthcare programs or the leasing, purchasing, ordering, or arranging for or recommending the lease, purchase, or order of any item, good, facility, or service covered by these programs. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. Some enforcement activities focus on below or above market payments for federally reimbursable healthcare items or services as evidence of the intent to provide a kickback. Many states also have similar anti-kickback laws that are not necessarily limited to items or services for which payment is made by a federal healthcare program. Moreover, both federal and state laws prohibit bribery and similar behavior. We do not believe we directly order or provide healthcare services that are reimbursable by Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payors or submit claims or receive reimbursement from any such payor.
However, nonetheless, in addition to direct enforcement action against us, if our advisory services or our Solution offered to clients are associated with action by clients that is determined or alleged to be in violation of these laws and regulations, it is possible that an enforcement agency would also try to hold us liable and, as a result of such attempt to hold us liable, our results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted, even if we are ultimately found not liable.
There are also numerous federal and state laws that prohibit the submission of false information, or the failure to disclose information, in connection with submission and payment of claims for healthcare items and services by healthcare providers. For example, the federal civil False Claims Act prohibits, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the U.S. federal government, claims for payment or approval that are false or fraudulent, or knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim.
46

The government has prosecuted revenue cycle management service providers for causing the submission of false or fraudulent claims in violation of the False Claims Act. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items and services resulting from a violation of the U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the civil False Claims Act.
HIPAA also created new federal criminal statutes that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud or to obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises, any money or property owned by, or under the control or custody of, any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payors, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by trick, scheme or device, a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. Any determination by a court or regulatory agency that we or any of our clients, vendors, or partners have violated these laws could subject us to significant civil or criminal penalties, invalidate all or portions of some of our client contracts, require us to change or terminate some portions of our business, require us to refund portions of our services fees, subject us to additional reporting requirements and oversight under a corporate integrity agreement or similar agreement to resolve allegations of noncompliance with these laws, cause us to be disqualified from serving clients doing business with government payors, and have an adverse effect on our business.

Our clients’ failure to comply with these laws and regulations in connection with our services could result in substantial liability (including, but not limited to, criminal liability), adversely affect demand for our Solution, and force us to expend significant capital, research and development, and other resources to address the failure. Even an unsuccessful challenge by regulatory authorities of our activities could result in adverse publicity, distract management attention from our business, require a costly response from us, and negatively impact the price of our common stock.

If our arrangements with clinicians and other healthcare professionals are found to constitute the improper rendering of professional medical services or fee splitting under applicable state laws, our business, financial condition, and our ability to operate in those states could be adversely impacted.

We employ and contract with physicians and other licensed healthcare professionals who assist our clients with the clients’ care coordination, care management, population health management, and patient safety activities. Although we do not intend to provide medical care, treatment, or advice, our relationships with such healthcare professionals may implicate certain state laws in the United States in which we operate that generally prohibit non-professional entities from providing licensed medical services, exercising control over licensed physicians or other licensed healthcare professionals, or engaging in certain practices such as fee-splitting with such licensed professionals. There can be no assurance that these laws will be interpreted in a manner consistent with our practices or that other laws or regulations will not be enacted in the future that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Regulatory authorities, state boards of medicine, state attorneys general, and other parties may assert that we are engaged in the provision of professional medical services, and/or that our arrangements with our affiliated physicians and other licensed healthcare professionals constitute unlawful fee-splitting. If a jurisdiction’s prohibition on the corporate practice of medicine or fee-splitting is interpreted in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices, we may be required to restructure or terminate some portions of our business, which may in turn require us to refund portions of our services fees, which would have an adverse effect on our business. Even an unsuccessful challenge by regulatory authorities of our activities could result in adverse publicity, distraction of management attention from our business, a costly response from us, and a substantial negative impact upon the price of our common stock.

The FDA may modify its enforcement policies with respect to medical software products, and our software products may become subject to extensive regulatory requirements, which may increase the cost of conducting, or otherwise harm, our business.

We develop and offer certain analytical software applications in connection with our business. The FDA may regulate medical or health-related software, including machine learning functionality and predictive algorithms, if such software falls within the definition of a “medical device” under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). Medical devices are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by the FDA and by other federal, state, and local authorities.

The FDCA and related regulations govern the conditions of safety, efficacy, clearance, approval, manufacturing, quality system requirements, labeling, packaging, distribution, storage, recordkeeping, reporting, marketing, advertising, and promotion of medical devices. However, historically, the FDA has exercised enforcement discretion for certain low-risk software functions, and has issued several guidance documents outlining its approach to the regulation of software as a medical device.
47

In addition, the 21st Century Cures Act amended the FDCA to exclude from the definition of “medical device” certain medical-related software, including software used for administrative support functions at a healthcare facility, software intended for maintaining or encouraging a healthy lifestyle, software designed to store electronic health records, software for transferring, storing, or displaying medical device data or in vitro diagnostic data, and certain clinical decision support software. We believe our currently marketed products provide functionality that is exempt from the FDCA’s definition of a “medical device,” and therefore that our software products are not currently regulated by the FDA as medical devices, or that our products are otherwise subject to FDA’s current enforcement discretion policies applicable to software products. However, there is a risk that the FDA could disagree with our determination, or that the FDA could alter its enforcement discretion policies, and in either case, subject our software to more stringent medical device regulations.
If the FDA determines that any of our current or future analytics applications are regulated as medical devices and not otherwise subject to enforcement discretion, we would become subject to various requirements under the FDCA and the FDA’s implementing regulations. If this occurs, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall our product until we obtain the requisite clearances or approvals, which would entail significant cost and could harm our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA, or comparable state or foreign regulatory authorities, including: untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties, recalls, termination of distribution, administrative detentions, seizure of our products, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production, delays in or refusal to grant clearances or approvals, prohibitions on sales of our products, and criminal prosecution. Any of these sanctions could result in higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales and have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The healthcare regulatory and political framework is uncertain and evolving.

Existing and new laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry, or changes to existing laws and regulations could create unexpected liabilities for us, cause us to incur additional costs, and/or restrict our operations. Reforming the healthcare industry has been a priority for U.S. politicians, and key members of the legislative and executive branches have proposed a wide variety of potential changes and policy goals. Certain changes to laws impacting our industry, or perceived intentions to do so, could affect our business and results of operations. By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), was enacted, which substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers and has significantly impacted our industry and, to some degree, our business. Since its enactment, there have been judicial, executive, and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA. On June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the most recent judicial challenge to the ACA brought by several states without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA. Thus, the ACA will remain in effect in its current form. We anticipate that new cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms will continue to be implemented at both the federal and state level, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Due to the particular nature of certain services we provide or the manner in which we provide them, we may be subject to additional government regulation and foreign government regulation.

While our Solution is primarily subject to government regulations pertaining to healthcare, certain aspects of our Solution may require us to comply with regulatory schema from other areas. Examples of such regulatory schema include:

•Antitrust laws. Our national cloud-based network allows us access to cost and pricing data for a large number of providers in most regional markets, as well as to the contracted rates for third-party payors. To the extent that our Solution enables providers to compare their cost and pricing data with those of their competitors, those providers could collude to increase the pricing for their services, to reduce the compensation they pay their employees, or to collectively negotiate agreements with third parties. Similarly, if payors are able to compare their contracted rates of payment to providers, those payors may seek to reduce the amounts they might otherwise pay. Such actions may be deemed to be anti-competitive and a violation of federal antitrust laws. To the extent that we are deemed to have enabled such activities, we could be subject to fines and penalties imposed by the U.S. Department of Justice or the FTC and be required to curtail or terminate the services that permitted such collusion.

•Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and foreign anti-bribery laws. Subject to the February 2025 executive order ceasing enforcement of the FCPA, the FCPA makes it illegal for U.S. persons, including U.S. companies, and their subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, and agents, to promise, authorize or make any corrupt payment, or otherwise provide anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any foreign official, any foreign political party or party official, or candidate for foreign political office to obtain or retain business.
48

To the extent it is enforced, violations of the FCPA can also result in violations of other U.S. laws, including anti-money laundering, mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy laws. There are severe penalties for violating the FCPA. In addition, the Company may also be subject to other non-U.S. anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws, such as the U.K. Bribery Act 2010. If our employees, contractors, vendors, or partners fail to comply with the FCPA and/or foreign anti-bribery laws, we may be subject to penalties or sanctions, and our ability to develop new prospects and retain existing clients could be adversely affected.
•Economic sanctions and export controls. Economic and trade sanctions programs that are administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control prohibit or restrict transactions to or from, and dealings with specified countries and territories, their governments, and in certain circumstances, with individuals and entities that are specially designated nationals of those countries, and other sanctioned persons, including narcotics traffickers and terrorists or terrorist organizations. As federal, state and foreign legislative regulatory scrutiny and enforcement actions in these areas increase, we expect our costs to comply with these requirements will increase as well. Failure to comply with any of these requirements could result in the limitation, suspension or termination of our services, imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, including fines, and/or the seizure and/or forfeiture of our assets. Further, our Solution incorporates encryption technology. This encryption technology may be exported from the United States only with the required export authorizations, including by a license, a license exception, or other appropriate government authorizations. Such solutions may also be subject to certain regulatory reporting requirements. Various countries also regulate the import of certain encryption technology, including through import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our clients’ ability to import our Solution into those countries. Governmental regulation of encryption technology and of exports and imports of encryption products, or our failure to obtain required approval for our Solution, when applicable, could harm our international sales and adversely affect our revenue. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements regarding the provision of our Solution, including with respect to new applications, may delay the introduction of our Solution in various markets or, in some cases, prevent the provision of our Solution to some countries altogether.
•Regulatory certification. We must obtain certification from governmental agencies, such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to sell certain of our analytics applications and services in the United States. We cannot be certain that our Solution will continue to meet these standards. The failure to comply with these certification requirements could result in the loss of certification, which could restrict our Solution offerings and cause us to lose clients.
Risks Related to Tax Regulation

Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, value-added or similar transactional taxes, and we could be subject to liability with respect to past or future sales, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We do not collect sales and use, value-added, and similar transactional taxes in all jurisdictions in which we have sales, based on our belief that such taxes are not applicable or that we are not required to collect such taxes with respect to the jurisdiction. Sales and use, value-added, and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect such taxes may assert that such taxes are applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties, and interest, and we may be required to collect such taxes in the future. Such tax assessments, penalties, interest or future requirements, increase in tax rates, or a combination of the foregoing may result in an increase in our sales and similar transactional taxes, increase administrative burdens or costs, or otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate and additional tax liabilities, including as a result of our international operations or implementation of new tax rules, could harm our future results.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and are expanding into various foreign jurisdictions that are subject to income tax. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions and complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. Tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate may change as a result of factors outside of our control or relevant taxing authorities may disagree with our determinations as to the income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. In addition, changes in tax and trade laws, treaties or regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, have become more unpredictable and may become more stringent, which could materially adversely affect our tax position.


49

Forecasting our estimated annual effective tax rate is complex and subject to uncertainty, and there may be material differences between our forecasted and actual effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates, certain non-deductible expenses, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of tax returns, changes in available tax attributes, decision to repatriate non-U.S. earnings for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes, and changes in federal, state, or international tax laws and accounting principles. Finally, we may be subject to income tax audits throughout the world. An adverse resolution of one or more uncertain tax positions in any period could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition for that period.

Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

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.

We may experience a future ownership change under Section 382 of the Code that could affect our ability to utilize the NOLs to offset our income. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities, including for state income tax purposes. Certain provisions of the Tax Act (as defined below), as amended by the CARES Act, also limit the use of NOLs, as discussed further below. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of our NOLs, even if we attain profitability, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Comprehensive tax reform legislation could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Tax Act) was signed into law. The Tax Act contains, among other things, significant changes to corporate taxation, including (i) a reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, (ii) a limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted earnings (except for certain small businesses) (increased to 50% by the CARES Act for taxable years beginning in 2019 and 2020), (iii) a limitation of the deduction for NOLs in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020 to 80% of current year taxable income in respect of NOLs generated during or after 2018 and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks for NOLs arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2020, (iv) a one-time tax on offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated, (v) immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, and (vi) a modification or repeal of many business deductions and credits. For federal NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act (as modified by the CARES Act) limits a taxpayer’s ability to utilize federal NOL carryforwards in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020 to 80% of taxable income. In addition, federal NOLs arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but carryback of federal NOLs arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2020 is generally prohibited. It is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to the newly enacted federal tax law.

Beginning in 2022, the Tax Act eliminated the option to currently deduct research and development expenditures in the period incurred and requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such domestic and foreign expenditures over five or fifteen years, respectively, pursuant to Section 174 of the Code. We will continue to examine the impact the Tax Act and CARES Act may have on our results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our existing or future debt obligations, and we may not generate sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our debt.

On April 14, 2020, we issued $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due April 15, 2025 (unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased), pursuant to an Indenture dated April 14, 2020, with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (the Notes). The Notes are governed by an indenture (Indenture) between us, as the issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes are our senior, unsecured obligations and accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.50% per year. The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries.

We may repurchase the Notes from time to time prior to the maturity date. A holder may convert all or any portion of its Notes, at its option, subject to certain conditions and during certain periods, into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, with the form of consideration determined at our election. Noteholders have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date, upon the occurrence of certain events. The conversion rate is initially 32.6797 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.60 per share of our common stock). If the Notes have not previously been converted, redeemed or repurchased, we will be required to repay the Notes in cash at maturity. We have the intent and ability to settle the Notes fully in cash upon the maturity date in April 2025.

In addition, on July 16, 2024, we entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides for a five-year term loan facility (the Term Loan Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $225 million, consisting of an initial term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million, which was funded in full at closing, and a delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which was undrawn as of the closing. We had the option to draw up to $40.0 million under the delayed draw facility within six months after the Closing Date and on October 29, 2024, we drew an additional principal amount of $37.7 million. We also have the option to draw up to an additional $60.0 million under the delayed draw facility within eighteen months after the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including a minimum liquidity threshold, and a maximum recurring revenue/leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are expected to bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 6.5%.

Our outstanding and any future debt obligations could make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general U.S. and worldwide economic conditions, including rising interest rates, regulatory, and competitive conditions. We may not use the cash proceeds from the Notes and/or the Term Loan Facility in an optimally productive and profitable manner. Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend on market conditions and our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors, including those described in these risk factors, many of which are beyond our control.

In the case of the Notes, that includes our ability to make required cash payments in connection with redemptions or conversions of the Notes, repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events, or to repay or refinance the Notes at maturity. For example, we maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all in the event of a failure of these financial institutions. In addition, our ability to satisfy our debt obligations may be limited by law or regulatory authority or by other agreements governing our future indebtedness.

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 Notes and/or the Term Loan Facility. 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, we may be required to repurchase the Notes, 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 Indenture or 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.
51

Our Credit Agreement contains covenants and other provisions that restrict our ability to take certain actions and may limit our ability to operate or grow our business in the future.

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions including, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, engaging in mergers and other fundamental changes, the making of investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends and other restricted payments, the prepayment of other indebtedness and the sale of assets.

The Credit Agreement also requires us to comply with a minimum liquidity threshold, a maximum recurring revenue-based ratio and a maximum EBITDA-based net leverage ratio. In addition, payments of amounts owed under the Term Loan Facility will require us to dedicate cash flow from operations or cash on hand, which will reduce the amounts available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, transactions (including pursuing strategic initiatives), and other general corporate purposes. Such limitations could limit our flexibility to plan for or react to changes in our business or industry; place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; limit our ability to borrow or otherwise raise additional capital as needed; or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are exposed to interest rate risks with regard to our Term Loan Facility and any future refinancing thereof.

Outstanding principal amounts under our Term Loan Facility are expected to accrue interest at a floating rate equal to SOFR plus 6.5% per year. In the event that SOFR is unavailable, interest will accrue at a floating rate equal to the alternate base rate plus 5.5% per year. Accordingly, whenever we have amounts outstanding under our Term Loan Facility, our cash flows and results of operations will be subject to interest rate risk exposure associated with the debt balance outstanding. We currently are not a party to an interest rate swap contract or other derivative instrument designed to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuation risk.

Our Capped Calls may affect the value of our common stock and subject us to counterparty risk.

On April 8, 2020, concurrently with the pricing of our Notes, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers exempt from registration under the Securities Act (Note Offering), we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (Base Capped Calls) with certain financial institutions (the option counterparties). In addition, in connection with the initial purchasers’ exercise in full of their option to purchase additional Notes, on April 9, 2020, we entered into additional capped call transactions (Additional Capped Calls, and, together with the Base Capped Calls, the Capped Calls) with each of the option counterparties. We used approximately $21.6 million of the net proceeds from the Note Offering to pay the cost of the Capped Calls and allocated issuance costs.
The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $42.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to the cap price. The Capped Calls are separate transactions that we entered into with the option counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes. The option counterparties are financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and we will be subject to the risk that one or more of such option counterparties may default under the Capped Calls.
From time to time, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or our other securities in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the Notes. This activity could cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock. In addition, our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. If any option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the Capped Calls. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, the increase in our exposure will be correlated to the increase in our common stock market price and in the volatility of the market price of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by any option counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and dilution with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurance as to the financial stability or viability of any option counterparty.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.

We launched operations in 2008 and we acquired Able Health, Healthfinch, Vitalware, Twistle, ARMUS, KPI Ninja, ERS, Carevive, Lumeon, Intraprise and Upfront between February 2020 and January 2025. Our limited operating history, in particular with respect to the businesses we have recently acquired, makes it difficult to effectively assess or forecast our future prospects. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we encounter or may encounter. These risks and difficulties include our ability to cost-effectively acquire new clients and retain existing clients, maintain the quality of our technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle the requirements of our clients and deploy new features and solutions, and successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may enter, the healthcare solution space.

Additional risks include our ability to effectively manage growth, achieve synergies, responsibly use the data that clients share with us, process, store, protect, and use personal data, including PHI, in compliance with governmental regulation, contractual obligations, and other legal obligations related to privacy and security and avoid interruptions or disruptions in our service or slower than expected load times for our Solution. If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above, our business and our results of operations will be adversely affected.

We have experienced significant net losses since inception, we expect to incur losses in the future, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and maintain profitability.

We have incurred significant net losses in the past, including net losses of $69.5 million and $118.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of $1,186.7 million as of December 31, 2024. We expect our costs will increase over time as we continue to invest to grow our business and build relationships with clients, develop our Solution, develop new solutions, and operate as a public company. These efforts may prove to be more expensive than we currently anticipate and external factors, such as macroeconomic challenges, including the high inflationary environment and rising interest rates, could cause an increase in our expenses, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses.

As a result, we may need to raise additional capital through equity and debt financings in order to fund our operations. To date, we have financed our operations principally from the proceeds we received through private sales of equity securities, payments received from sales of our Solution, borrowings under our loan and security agreements, our IPO in July 2019, the Note Offering in April 2020, and an underwritten public offering of 4,882,075 shares (inclusive of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase 636,792 shares) of our common stock at $53.00 per share in August 2021, from which we received net proceeds of $245.2 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs (the Secondary Public Equity Offering).

We may also fail to improve the gross margins of our business. If we are unable to effectively manage these risks and difficulties as we encounter them, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may lose all or part of your investments.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
•overall performance of the equity markets and/or publicly-listed technology companies;
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our net revenue or other operating metrics;
•changes in the financial projections we provide to the public or our failure to meet these projections;
•failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet the estimates or the expectations of investors;
53

•the economy as a whole and market conditions in our industry;
•rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;
•announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments;
•new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
•lawsuits or investigations threatened or filed against us;
•recruitment or departure of key personnel; and
•other events or factors, including those resulting from macroeconomic challenges (including high inflationary and/or high interest rate environments), war, bank or financial institution failures, incidents of terrorism, public health crises, or responses to these events.

In addition, extreme price and volume fluctuations in the stock markets have affected and continue to affect many technology companies’ stock prices. Often, their stock prices have fluctuated in ways unrelated or disproportionate to the companies’ operating performance. In the past, stockholders have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and harm our business. Moreover, because of these fluctuations, comparing our results of operations on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. This variability and unpredictability could also result in our failing to meet the expectations of industry or financial analysts or investors for any period. If our net revenue or results of operations fall below the expectations of analysts or investors or below any forecasts we may provide to the market, or if the forecasts we provide to the market are below the expectations of analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Such a stock price decline could occur even when we have met any previously publicly stated net revenue or earnings forecasts that we may provide.

If securities or industry analysts do not continue to publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, the price of our common stock and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If industry analysts cease coverage of us, the trading price for our common stock could be negatively affected. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our common stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us on a regular basis, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our common stock price and trading volume to decline.

We cannot guarantee that the Share Repurchase Plan will be fully consummated or will enhance stockholder value, and share repurchases could affect the price of our common stock.

On August 2, 2022, our board of directors authorized and approved the Share Repurchase Plan, pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $40.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. We repurchased shares of common stock under this program during the third quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023. There were no repurchases made during 2024 and we had $29.8 million available to purchase under the Share Repurchase Plan as of December 31, 2024. Repurchases of shares of common stock under the Share Repurchase Plan may be made from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at the discretion of our management, depending on market conditions and corporate needs.

Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares of common stock under this authorization. The timing, pricing, and sizes of these repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock and general market and economic conditions. The Share Repurchase Plan could affect the price of our common stock, increase volatility, and diminish our cash reserves.

Our management has broad discretion in the use of proceeds from our IPO, the Note Offering, and the Secondary Public Equity Offering and our use may not produce a positive rate of return.

The principal purposes of our IPO were to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility, create a public market for our stock and thereby enable access to the public equity markets by our employees and stockholders, obtain additional capital, and strengthen our position in the healthcare data analytics applications and services market. We used a portion of the Note Offering proceeds to pay the cost of the Capped Call transactions and to prepay in full all outstanding indebtedness under our credit agreement with OrbiMed. We cannot specify with certainty our plans for the use of the net proceeds we received from these offerings. However, we intend to use the net proceeds we received from our IPO, the Note Offering, and our Secondary Public Equity Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from these offerings for the acquisition of, or investment in, technologies, solutions or businesses that complement our business. Our management has broad discretion over the specific use of the net proceeds we received in these offerings and might not be able to obtain a significant return, if any, on investment of these net proceeds. Investors will need to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of proceeds. If we do not use the net proceeds that we received in our IPO, the Note Offering, and our Secondary Public Equity Offering effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans, or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.

We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We expect to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under our stock incentive plans. We may also raise capital through equity financings in the future, including through offerings similar to our Secondary Public Equity Offering during the third quarter of 2021.

As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment, such as our issuance of equity securities in connection with our acquisitions. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per-share value of our common stock to decline.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the listing standards of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. For example, the Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Although we have already hired additional employees to assist us in complying with these requirements, we may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants, which will increase our operating expenses. In addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest substantial resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from business operations to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

55

As a result of disclosure of information in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition is more visible, which may result in an increased risk of threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and results of operations could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The individuals who now constitute our senior management team have limited experience managing a publicly-traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our senior management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, the ability of common stockholders to achieve a return on investment will depend on appreciation, if any, in the price of our common stock.

You should not rely on an investment in our common stock to provide dividend income. We have never declared or paid any dividends on our capital stock. We intend to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of any future credit facility or financing we obtain may contain, terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock. As a result, common stockholders may only receive a ROI if the market price of our common stock increases.

We could be subject to securities class action litigation.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially relevant for us because technology and healthcare technology companies have experienced significant stock price volatility in recent years. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.

Risks Related to Our Charter and Bylaws

Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current board of directors, and limit the market price of our common stock.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, include provisions that:
•provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms;
•permit the board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly-created directorships;
•require super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws;
•authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that our board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan;
•provide that only a majority of our board of directors will be authorized to call a special meeting of stockholders;
•prohibit stockholder action by written consent, which requires all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;
•provide that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, or repeal our bylaws; and
•advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at annual stockholder meetings.
Moreover, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company. Section 203 imposes certain restrictions on mergers, business combinations, and other transactions between us and holders of 15% or more of our common stock.

56

Our amended and restated bylaws designate a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.

Our amended and restated bylaws include an exclusive forum provision that provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law:

•any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;
•any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed to us or our stockholders by any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees;
•any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or our amended and restated bylaws; or
•any action that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine and asserts a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees or stockholders.
This exclusive forum provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act. Further, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such Securities Act claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act; however, a court may not enforce such provision.

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision which will be contained in our amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.




57

General Risks

Changes in accounting principles may cause previously unanticipated fluctuations in our financial results, and the implementation of such changes may impact our ability to meet our financial reporting obligations.

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP which are subject to interpretation or changes by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the SEC, and other various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting principles have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future which may have a significant effect on our financial results. Furthermore, any difficulties in implementation of changes in accounting principles, including the ability to modify our accounting systems, could cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, which could result in regulatory discipline and harm investors’ confidence in us.

Economic uncertainties or downturns in the general economy or the industries in which our clients operate could disproportionately affect the demand for our Solution and negatively impact our results of operations.

General worldwide economic conditions have experienced significant downturns during the last ten or more years, and market volatility and uncertainty remain widespread, making it potentially very difficult for our clients and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities.

During challenging economic times, our clients may have difficulty gaining timely access to sufficient credit or obtaining credit on reasonable terms, increased costs, and/or other negative financial impacts, each of which could impair their ability to make timely payments to us, reduce client expansion and new client acquisition, increase client churn, and adversely affect our revenue.
If that were to occur, our financial results could be harmed. Further, challenging economic conditions may impair the ability of our clients to pay for the applications and services they already have purchased from us and, as a result, our write-offs of accounts receivable could increase. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown or recovery. If the condition of the general economy or markets in which we operate worsens, our business could be harmed.

Investors’ expectations of our performance relating to environmental, social, and governance factors may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks.

There is an increasing focus from certain investors, employees, and other stakeholders concerning corporate responsibility, specifically related to environmental, social, and governance factors.

In addition, some investors may use these factors to guide their investment strategies and, in some cases, may choose not to invest in us if they believe our policies relating to corporate responsibility are inadequate. Third-party providers of corporate responsibility ratings and reports on companies have increased to meet growing investor demand for measurement of corporate responsibility performance. For example, increasingly there have been disclosure regulations focused on environmental, social and sustainability matters. The SEC recently adopted final climate change disclosure regulation that, if it survives the litigation it is currently subject to, will require us to make certain disclosures that may be costly for our company. We are currently evaluating this regulation to determine its impact on us.

The criteria by which companies’ corporate responsibility practices are assessed may change, which could result in greater expectations of us and cause us to undertake costly initiatives to satisfy such new criteria. If we elect not to or are unable to satisfy such new criteria, investors may conclude that our policies with respect to corporate responsibility are inadequate. We may face reputational damage in the event that our corporate responsibility procedures or standards do not meet the standards set by various constituencies.

Furthermore, if our competitors’ corporate responsibility performance is perceived to be greater than ours, potential or current investors may elect to invest with our competitors instead. In addition, in the event that we communicate certain initiatives and goals regarding environmental, social and governance matters, we could fail, or be perceived to fail, in our achievement of such initiatives or goals, or we could be criticized for the scope of such initiatives or goals. If we fail to satisfy the expectations of investors, employees, and other stakeholders, or, if our initiatives are not executed as planned, our reputation and business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
We believe cybersecurity is critical to advancing our company's mission to be the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed healthcare improvement. We face a multitude of cybersecurity threats that range from attacks common to most industries, such as ransomware and denial-of-service, to attacks from more advanced and persistent, highly organized groups and challenges specific to the healthcare industry. Our clients and suppliers face similar cybersecurity threats, and a cybersecurity incident impacting us or any of these entities could materially adversely affect our operations, performance, and results of operations.
We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan, which outlines the steps to be followed from incident detection to mitigation, recovery, and notification, including notifying functional areas (e.g., legal and compliance), as well as senior leadership and the board of directors, as appropriate.
Our cybersecurity program incorporates industry-standard frameworks (including third-party certification), policies, and practices designed to protect the privacy and security of our sensitive information. Our third-party certifications for certain Solutions include a HITRUST Common Security Framework certification (which includes standards from frameworks such as HIPAA, ISO, EU, GDPR, NIST, and PCI to provide risk-based certification for companies in the healthcare supply chain) and a Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements 18 (SSAE 18) System and Organization Control (SOC) 2 report that evaluates our security program.
Assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity related risks are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management process. Cybersecurity related risks are included in the risk universe that the enterprise risk management function evaluates to assess top risks to the enterprise on an annual basis. To the extent the enterprise risk management process identifies a heightened cybersecurity related risk, risk owners are assigned to develop risk mitigation plans, which are then tracked to completion. The enterprise risk management’s annual risk assessment is presented to the board of directors.
Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include but are not limited to the following:
•risk assessments designed to help identify material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical systems and information;
•an information security team principally responsible for managing (i) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (ii) our security controls, and (iii) our response to cybersecurity incidents;
•the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes;
•cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, including incident response personnel, and senior management;
•a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and
•a third-party risk management process for key service providers, suppliers, and vendors based upon our assessment of their criticality to our operations and respective risk profile.
We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Despite the implementation of our cybersecurity program, our security measures cannot guarantee that a significant cyberattack will not occur. A successful attack on our information technology systems could have significant consequences to the business. While we devote resources to our security measures to protect our systems and information, these measures cannot provide absolute security. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Data and Intellectual Property” for additional information about the risks to our business associated with a breach or compromise to our information technology systems.
59

Cybersecurity Governance
Our board of directors (Board) oversees management’s processes for identifying and mitigating risks, including cybersecurity risks, to help align our risk exposure with our strategic objectives. Our cybersecurity program is led by our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and includes a team of cybersecurity and security compliance professionals. The cybersecurity program is further strengthened through support of our General Counsel and Chief Compliance and Data Privacy Officer. Our legal and cybersecurity teams work closely together to support and bolster our cybersecurity program. Our cybersecurity team reports to our Audit Committee quarterly on information security and cybersecurity matters, or as needed. Our Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for our data security practices and we believe the Audit Committee has the requisite skills and visibility into the design and operation of our data security practices to fulfill this responsibility effectively. The Audit Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity, as appropriate. The full Board also receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. From time to time, Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our CISO, internal cybersecurity team or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies.
The company’s current CISO has more than two decades of IT leadership experience and holds several relevant IT and healthcare specific certifications including CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CCSK and CCSP, and has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems and a Master of Science in Medical Informatics. Our management team, including our CISO, is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our Information Security team’s experience includes more than 75 years of combined IT experience, 35 of which are focused specifically on Information Security. The broader Information Security team’s accredited industry certifications include Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), and Blue Team Level II.
Our management team takes steps to stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the information technology environment.
Item 2. Properties
Our principal executive offices are located in South Jordan, Utah where we lease facilities totaling approximately 128,037 square feet under a lease agreement that expires on December 31, 2031, of which 74,354 square feet is currently subleased. We use this facility for administration, sales and marketing, technology and development, and professional services. We also lease offices elsewhere for sales, research and development, professional services, and other personnel, including offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Hyderabad, India.
We believe that our facilities are adequate to meet our needs for the immediate future, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available to accommodate any such expansion of our operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are, and from time to time may be, party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. As our growth continues, we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of these matters could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. We are not presently party to any other legal proceedings that in the opinion of management, if determined to adversely affect us, may individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
For information regarding a recent legal proceeding that was dismissed with prejudice on June 20, 2023, refer to Note 16, “Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Overview
We are a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations. Our Solution comprises our cloud-based data platform, applications, and expertise. Our clients, which are primarily healthcare providers, use our Solution to manage their data, derive analytical insights to operate their organization, and produce measurable clinical, financial, and operational improvements. We envision a future where all healthcare decisions are data-informed.
Health Catalyst was founded in 2008 by healthcare analytics industry pioneers. Our founders and team developed the initial version of our Solution, consisting of an early version of our data platform, select analytics accelerators, and professional services expertise. From the beginning, our Solution has been focused on enabling our mission: to be the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed healthcare improvement. We currently employ more than 1,500 team members.
Highlights from the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 include:
•For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, our total revenue was $306.6 million, $295.9 million, and $276.2 million, respectively. The growth in revenue was primarily due to revenue from new clients, including clients of our recent acquired entities, and existing clients paying higher technology access fees from contractual, annual escalators.
•For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we incurred net losses of $69.5 million, $118.1 million, and $137.4 million, respectively.
•For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, our Adjusted EBITDA was $26.1 million, $11.0 million, and $(2.5) million, respectively.
See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information about Adjusted EBITDA, including the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. See “Key Factors Affecting Our Performance” for more information about important opportunities and challenges related to our business.

Macroeconomic Environment and Strategic Operating Plan
Recent macroeconomic challenges (including high levels of inflation and high interest rates) and the tight labor market continue to adversely affect workforces, organizations, governments, clients, economies, and financial markets globally. These factors have disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including our business. These factors have also placed the national healthcare system under significant operational and budgetary strain.
The health system end market, in particular, has experienced meaningful financial strain over the last few years, in which it has realized significant increases in labor and supply costs without a commensurate increase in revenue, leading to a deterioration in operating margins across many of our clients and prospective clients. We are encouraged that, in general, the operating margins of our health system end market improved in 2024 relative to 2022 and 2023. If this trend with the end-markets continues, we expect it to be a tailwind in the medium-to-long-term.
While we have seen that this financial strain has continued to pressure health system budgets, we have continued to hear a strong acknowledgement that our offering includes solutions that directly reduce health systems’ financial pressure, especially related to the segments of our offering that have a clear, near-term financial return on investment (ROI). With the improvement in the end market in 2024, we have started to see interest throughout our broader portfolio as clients and prospective clients were more open to discussing solutions that might not offer a clear near-term financial ROI. We anticipate this trend will continue in 2025.
With respect to other near-term implications of the challenging macroeconomic environment, we continue to anticipate that a higher proportion of our gross bookings will come from our existing client base as compared to historical levels, inclusive of upsells to both our Platform Client base, as well as upsells to our over 900 App Clients. This expectation is driven by our belief that many existing clients that have already realized a strong ROI, and are aligned on a long-term partnership framework, will be more receptive to expansion conversations, as compared to discussions with prospective clients. We have collected data internally that shows we are more than twice as effective at selling into organizations where we have an existing relationship compared to those where there is no prior relationship, which gives us additional confidence in our ability to drive cross-selling within our broad client base.
Our 2024 net new Platform Clients had a lower average starting annual recurring revenue (ARR) and non-recurring revenue as compared to historical levels. Our average ARR and non-recurring revenue for net new Platform Clients signed in the year ended December 31, 2024 (new 2024 Platform Clients), was toward the low end of the historical average expected range of $400,000 to $1,000,000, driven primarily by Platform module components, such as Healthcare.AI, that result in ARR that is significantly lower than ARR derived from a contract that includes access to all of the Platform components and analytic applications. This average ARR and non-recurring revenue range is comprised of new 2024 Platform Clients with (i) ARR and non-recurring revenue in the expected average range or significantly above the expected average range driven by the size of the client organization and the bundle of technology and services included in their subscription and (ii) ARR and non-recurring revenue meaningfully below the low-end of the expected range driven by stand-alone Platform module components, which we believe may provide an opportunity to expand our relationship with these Platform Clients in the future.
We benefit from a highly recurring revenue model, in which greater than 90% of our revenue is recurring in nature, and a high level of technology revenue predictability, especially within our Platform Clients whose contracts, when sold as a bundle with our analytics applications, often have built-in, contractual technology revenue escalators.
As previously described, within our professional services segment, a subset of clients have reduced the number of FTEs engaged in their initiatives, while in the technology segment, a subset of modular clients and smaller Platform Clients have lowered their application and analytics spend. We will continue to monitor migrations from DOS to Ignite, and we have observed that clients have a few options as part of this migration. These options include expanding their relationship and spend by purchasing additional applications and services; experiencing immediate savings while maintaining the same functionality through a price reduction as part of the migration; or maintaining existing spend and realizing improvement in operations and functionality from the enhanced capabilities of Ignite. Over the course of the next few years, we anticipate our clients will continue to fall along the spectrum of these three options.
We continue to proactively respond to the challenging macroeconomic environment with a strategic operating plan that emphasizes our offerings and go-to-market approach in the areas where we have the most competitive differentiation and where clients are most likely to achieve measurable financial and operational ROI both in the near term and over time. We believe this focus will enable us to move forward in a position of continued competitive and financial strength. We will continue to refine this strategic operating plan and are continuing to make several investments in research and development, primarily in enhancing the capabilities within Health Catalyst Ignite, in order to maintain our position as a market-leading data platform over the long term.

Our Business Model
We offer our Solution to a variety of healthcare organizations, primarily in the United States, including academic medical centers, integrated delivery networks, community hospitals, large physician practices, ACOs, health information exchanges, health insurers, and other risk-bearing entities among others. We categorize our client count into two primary categories: Platform Clients and App Clients. As discussed further in “Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, we are shifting from what we formerly called DOS Subscription Clients to Platform Clients, and what we formerly referred to as other clients to App Clients, which include all other clients that are not Platform Clients. Platform Clients are defined as: (i) all Platform Clients as of December 31, 2024 under our historical definition (formerly referred to as DOS Subscription Clients, which we also referred to as Platform Subscription Clients), and (ii) going forward in 2025 and beyond, any technology client that signs contracts with at least $100,000 of incremental total ARR and non-recurring revenue in a given calendar year, inclusive of clients that come through acquisition if we first begin recognizing revenue for the client post-acquisition and that total ARR and non-recurring revenue exceeds $100,000 in that calendar year, so long as such client maintains an active subscription as of the end of the period. See “Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information about our Platform Clients. App Clients generally include technology clients and other clients from historical acquisitions and typically operate under subscription contracts. As of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we had 130, 109, and 98 Platform Clients with active subscriptions, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we served over 900 App Clients compared to over 525 other clients as of December 31, 2023. The increase in other clients from December 31, 2023 to App Clients as of December 31, 2024 was primarily due to our 2024 acquisitions.
We derive substantially all of our revenue through subscriptions for use of our technology and professional services on a recurring basis. In 2024, greater than 90% of our total revenue was recurring in nature. Clients pay for our technology primarily on a subscription basis for our entire technology suite or for pieces of our technology (e.g., Platform-only or modular portions of the Platform). We generally provide access to our technology and deliver professional services to clients on a recurring basis, with our technology invoiced upfront annually or quarterly and our professional services invoiced monthly. As we increase the use cases we address at a given client, we have the opportunity to upsell incremental technology and services. We have demonstrated an ability to upsell technology and services to our client base over time. We saw a Dollar-based Retention Rate of 100% for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, based on our legacy definition. Under an updated Dollar-based Retention rate described in more detail in the "Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section the rate was 102% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The primary costs incurred to deliver our technology are hosting fees and headcount-related costs associated with our cloud services and support teams. Hosting fees are related to providing our technology through a cloud-based environment hosted primarily by Microsoft Azure. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience operational inefficiencies associated with managing multiple hosting providers, resulting in a headwind against Adjusted Technology Gross Margin. Additionally, we are in the process of migrating our Platform Client base to Health Catalyst Ignite. We expect that these investments in our Platform will provide additional capabilities for our clients as well as improve our ability to drive cost efficiencies in our hosting and support costs per client over time. However, in the near-to-medium-term, we will incur some migration costs associated with deploying the updated architecture across Platform Clients, resulting in a headwind for our Technology Gross Margin. The primary costs incurred to deliver our professional services are the salaries, benefits, and other headcount-related costs of our team members.

We delineate our sales organization by new client acquisition and existing client retention and expansion. Selling efforts to new clients vary. Many of our new clients engage with us broadly for multiple use cases, requiring buy-in during the sales cycle across the C-suite. Alternatively, in some instances, we engage with a client in a single-use case. After we demonstrate measurable improvements, we work with our clients to expand the utilization of our Solution to other use cases or enterprise-wide. The average sales cycle for a new Platform Client is estimated to be approximately one year, but that timeline can vary materially. Because of our vertical focus on the healthcare industry, we believe our sales and marketing resources can be deployed more efficiently than at horizontally-focused companies that provide technology and services to multiple industries. Additionally, with our increased focus on driving expansion within our existing client base through our TEMS offering, we believe that our sales and marketing infrastructure is positioned well to generate meaningful leverage and growth within our services offerings without the need for the same level of incremental investment as in prior years. This operating leverage primarily stems from the fact that we already have an existing relationship with the client, inclusive of having invested in client success initiatives and having provided account management services to the client since the beginning of our contractual relationship. Over the past few years, we have invested in growth infrastructure and our sales operations and marketing teams are built to help us scale over the long term.
65

We have demonstrated a consistent track record of innovation through research and development over time as evidenced by our new product features and new product offerings. This innovation is driven by feedback we glean from our clients, professional services teams, and the market generally. Our investments in product development have been focused on increasing the capabilities of our Solution and expanding the number of use cases we address for our clients.
Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key financial measures, to manage our business and evaluate our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry:
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
GAAP Financial Measures:
(in thousands, except percentages)

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted EBITDA
$ 26,105  $ 11,021  $ (2,487)
We monitor the key financial measures set forth in the preceding table to help us evaluate trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations, and determine team member incentives. We discuss Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA in more detail below.
Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin
Gross profit is a GAAP financial measure that is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue, including depreciation and amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology. We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by our revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as gross profit, adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, net, and (iv) restructuring costs, as applicable. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as our Adjusted Gross Profit divided by our revenue. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors as they eliminate the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of these measures between periods without the impact of non-cash expenses, as well as certain other non-recurring operating expenses.
We present both of these measures for our technology and professional services business. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as these metrics generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall profitability. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for information regarding the limitations of using our Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin as financial measures and for a reconciliation of revenue to our Adjusted Gross Profit, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) interest and other (income) expense, net, (ii) income tax provision (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) acquisition-related costs, net, (vi) litigation costs, (vii) restructuring costs, and (viii) non-recurring lease-related charges. We view acquisition-related expenses when applicable, such as transaction costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities that are directly related to business combinations, as costs that are unpredictable, dependent upon factors outside of our control, and are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. We believe that excluding restructuring costs, litigation costs, and non-recurring lease-related charges allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as these are separate from the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and are not part of our ongoing operations.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and a comparison with our past financial performance, and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Other Key Metrics
We also regularly monitor and review the number of Platform Clients and Dollar-based Retention Rate as shown in the following tables:

__________________
(1) We have updated the name and definition of this key metric to Platform Clients from DOS Subscription Clients to better reflect the deep, long-standing, multi-faceted relationships we strive to build with the entities we serve.
Since 2016, our primary contracting model is a subscription-based contract for our platform, analytics applications, and professional services. Given how fundamental our platform is to our Solution and because the vast majority of our total revenue is derived from Platform Clients, we believe our Platform Client count is a strong indicator of our market penetration and the growth of our business. For 2025, we have updated the name and definition of this key metric to Platform Clients. In the past, we have referred to this metric as DOS Subscription Clients and Platform Subscription Clients.
Platform Clients have historically been defined as clients who directly or indirectly access our platform via a technology subscription contract. Direct access to our platform has included access to our DOS platform, Ignite platform, or Ninja Universe. Indirect access to our platform has included platform module components such as Ignite connectors, Healthcare.AI, Pop Analyzer, IDEA, and other platform components. Given the modularity of our Ignite platform, we anticipate Ignite infrastructure will be included in all of our technology Solutions in the near future and many of our Solutions already include Ignite components. Accordingly, beginning in 2025, Platform Clients will be defined as: (i) all Platform Clients as of December 31, 2024 under our historical definition (i.e., these clients will be included in our Platform Client count going forward until they cease to have an active subscription as of the end of the period), and (ii) going forward in 2025 and beyond, any technology client that signs contracts with at least $100,000 of incremental total ARR and non-recurring revenue in a given calendar year, inclusive of clients that come through acquisition if we first begin recognizing revenue for the client post-acquisition and that total ARR and non-recurring revenue exceeds $100,000 in that calendar year, so long as such client maintains an active subscription as of the end of the period. Once a client is designated as a Platform Client, it will continue to be a Platform Client unless it is no longer a client with an active subscription as of the end of the period. There are some clients that became Platform Clients before 2025 with total ARR and non-recurring revenue of less than $100,000, including some net new 2024 Platform Clients.
Given the variety of ways to access our platform and the mix of specific technology Solutions included in a subscription contract, average total ARR and non-recurring revenue for net new Platform Clients can greatly vary, particularly with our new definition of this metric. In a given calendar year, our net new Platform Clients have included clients with (i) total ARR and non-recurring revenue in the expected average range for such year or significantly above the expected average range, driven by the size of the client organization and the bundle of technology and services included in their subscription, and (ii) total ARR and non-recurring revenue meaningfully below the low-end of the expected range for such year, driven primarily by sales of applications bundled with platform module components or with lower starting price points. We expect this trend will continue. For example, in 2024, the highest incremental total ARR and non-recurring revenue from a net new Platform Client was approximately $2 million and some Platform Clients were below our new threshold of $100,000 total ARR and non-recurring revenue. As previously shared, we sometimes pursue lower total ARR and non-recurring revenue contracts as a pilot and/or with the strategy that we can later expand our relationship with these Platform Clients, including through cross-selling efforts.
For 2024, we shared an expected aggregated average total ARR and non-recurring revenue for all net new Platform Clients (2024 Platform Clients) to range between $400,000 and $1,000,000. Our actual aggregated average total ARR and non-recurring revenue from 2024 Platform Clients was toward the low end of the expected range, driven primarily by lower priced, single application Ignite platform components and standalone application sales bundled with platform module components, such as Healthcare.AI. Our total net new Platform Clients was 21, which is higher than any prior years. We believe the higher number of net new Platform Clients was driven by an improved end market, an improved and more modular platform product in Ignite and its platform components, which can be sold on a standalone basis or easily bundled with applications, and a lower average starting price point, which removes barriers to entry for many health systems.

67

For 2025, while health systems are on a spectrum of financial stability and improvement, we are encouraged to see that average health system operating margins did improve in 2024 compared to 2023 and 2022. Supported by the improvement in the operating environment of our end market and continued progress in our rollout of Ignite and its platform modules, we anticipate net new Platform Clients additions will have an aggregated average total ARR and non-recurring revenue range of $300,000 and $700,000 in 2025, and such range reflects the update to the definition of Platform Clients.
Dollar-based Retention Rate - New Definition
Year Ended December 31,
2024
Dollar-based Retention Rate (Tech + TEMS)
102  %

We calculate our Dollar-based Retention Rate as of a period end by starting with the sum of the technology and Tech-Enabled Managed Services (TEMS) ARR from our Platform Clients as of the date 12 months prior to such period end (prior period ARR ). This calculation excludes professional services ARR and non-recurring revenue. We then calculate the sum of the ARR from these same clients as of the current period end (Current period ARR). Current period ARR includes any upsells and also reflects contraction or attrition over the trailing twelve months but excludes ARR from new Platform Clients added in the current period who were not clients at the beginning of such period. This Current period ARR may include acquired ARR from clients (i.e., through acquisition of a company) that overlap with the Platform Clients in a given calendar year. We then divide the Current period ARR by the prior period ARR to arrive at our Dollar-Based Retention Rate for Technology and TEMS. We calculate applicable ARR for each Platform Client as the expected monthly recurring revenue of our clients as of the last day of a period multiplied by 12. Because our primary business model is to contract for our Platform, analytics applications, and TEMS, our Dollar-Based Retention Rate calculated above only includes our Platform Clients. App Clients that do not meet the definition of a Platform Client, which are primarily legacy Medicity, Able Health, Healthfinch, Vitalware, Twistle, KPI Ninja, ARMUS, ERS, Carevive, Lumeon, and Intraprise clients, are not included in the Dollar-Based Retention Rate metrics. As it relates to TEMS, we define this cohort of clients as Platform Clients who subscribe to a Tech-Enabled Managed Services contract with the exception of our pilot ambulatory TEMS offering related to specific ambulatory services agreements, which we expect to sunset in 2025 and which will be excluded from Dollar-Based Retention Rate calculations in prior, current and future periods. This cohort of technology and TEMS ARR from our Platform Clients represents the majority of our ARR as of December 31, 2024.
As noted, our Dollar-based Retention Rate Key Metric excludes App Clients who are not Platform Clients, including clients added through acquisition, as the go-forward technology revenue growth profiles of these businesses may vary from our core Platform Clients. For example, Medicity clients have generated a lower Dollar-based Retention Rate than Platform Clients and we expect flat to declining revenue from Medicity clients in the foreseeable future.
Dollar-based Retention Rate - Legacy Definition
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Dollar-based Retention Rate (legacy)
100  % 100  % 100  %

Historically we have calculated our legacy Dollar-based Retention Rate as of a period end by starting with the sum of the technology and professional services ARR from our Platform Clients as of the date 12 months prior to such period end (prior period ARR). We then calculated the sum of the ARR from these same clients as of the current period end (Current period ARR).

As shown above, under the updated Dollar-based Retention Rate definition, the result was 102% in 2024. This improvement compared to the legacy definition is primarily due to isolating the technology and TEMS portions of our business which are more recurring in nature compared to our non-TEMS professional services contracts.

We determined it was appropriate to make this change as a result of changing trends in the structure of our professional services contracts. For example, in 2024, we saw a dynamic where some of our clients were moving their spend from recurring FTE based subscriptions to project-based work that is more non-recurring in nature. This shift had a negative impact on non-TEMS professional services Dollar-based Retention Rate. We anticipate clients will, in many cases, continue to opt for more non-recurring project-based work rather than FTE subscription contracts, however we anticipate that many clients will opt to continue to engage in these types of non-recurring work over time. These non-recurring, project-based fees are less predictable than our recurring services and can drive fluctuations in quarterly professional services revenues and in our prior definition of the Dollar-based Retention Rate metric as well as in prior period comparisons.
68

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense because it is non-cash in nature and excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations, as a component in determining employee bonus compensation, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure 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 these 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.
Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin
Gross profit is a GAAP financial measure that is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue, including depreciation and amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology. We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by our revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as gross profit, adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, net, and (iv) restructuring costs, as applicable. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as our Adjusted Gross Profit divided by our revenue. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors as they eliminate the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of these measures between periods without the impact of non-cash expenses and certain other non-recurring operating expenses.
We present both of these measures for our technology and professional services business. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as these metrics generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall profitability.

Technology gross margin remained constant at 52% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024. Adjusted Technology Gross Margin decreased from 68% for the year ended December 31, 2023 to 66% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year result was mainly driven by continued costs associated with transitioning a portion of our client base to Azure-hosted environments, as well as from costs associated with migrating Platform Clients to Health Catalyst Ignite, and Ninja Universe deployment costs incurred prior to the commencement of revenue recognition, partially offset by existing clients paying higher technology access fees from contractual, built-in escalators, without a corresponding increase in hosting costs.
We expect Adjusted Technology Gross Margin to fluctuate and potentially decline in the near term, primarily due to additional costs associated with the ongoing transition of Platform Clients to Health Catalyst Ignite and Ninja Universe deployment costs incurred prior to the commencement of revenue recognition, which typically begins six months or more following contract signing. The potential decline is also attributable to a small subset of App Clients reducing their software analytics application costs, which tend to be higher margin offerings.
Professional services gross margin increased from 6% for the year ended December 31, 2023 to 12% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted Professional Services Gross Margin increased from 15% for the year ended December 31, 2023 to 18% for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher utilization rates and cost management efforts, driven in large part by the reduction in force that primarily occurred late in the fourth quarter of 2023 and early 2024.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, our board of directors approved workforce reductions 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). These reductions enabled significant improvement in our Adjusted Professional Services Gross Margin for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The majority of our professional services revenue is generated from data and analytics services and domain expertise services, which are also our highest gross margin professional services offerings. However, we expect that our Adjusted Professional Services Gross Margin will continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to changes in our service mix, including data and analytics services, domain expertise services, TEMS, and implementation services, as well as variations in operational overhead and client-driven factors such as service delays or reductions amid macroeconomic uncertainty.
Specifically, in the near term, we expect our mix of services to include more TEMS which have minimal initial services gross margins that gradually increase over time as we drive efficiencies in service delivery through the use of our technology. As part of our TEMS contracts, we often re-badge existing health system team members within the applicable functional area as Health Catalyst team members. We often provide a client with a near-term discount relative to their existing costs for the scope of the TEMS opportunity, and we drive incremental gross margin over time by leveraging our technology and know-how to make processes more efficient and reduce the client’s labor costs.
71

While there will be a headwind to gross margin from these TEMS in the near term, we believe this model will benefit our mid and long-term Adjusted EBITDA and profitability targets due to improved direct margin on these services over time, our ability to drive operating leverage with lower relative incremental operating expense investment required, and the fact that these contracts typically result in long-term technology subscription contract renewals or expansions.
Total gross margin increased from 35% for the year ended December 31, 2023, to 37% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Total Adjusted Gross Margin remained constant at 49% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024. We expect total Adjusted Gross Margin to fluctuate and decline in the near term, primarily due to anticipated growth in professional services, including TEMS.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) interest and other (income) expense, net, (ii) income tax provision (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) acquisition-related costs, net, (vi) litigation costs, (vii) restructuring costs, and (viii) non-recurring lease-related charges. We view acquisition-related expenses when applicable, such as transaction costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities that are directly related to business combinations, as costs that are unpredictable, dependent upon factors outside of our control, and are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period.
We believe that excluding restructuring costs, litigation costs, and non-recurring lease-related charges allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as this is separate from the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and are not part of our ongoing operations. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and a comparison with our past financial performance, and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
Our Adjusted EBITDA improved year-over-year as a result of our revenue growth and cost reduction initiatives as well as the timing of some non-headcount expenses. We generally expect Adjusted EBITDA to continue to improve going forward, although it may fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the timing of non-recurring revenue and the seasonality of certain operating costs, including costs related to our HAS event, which we plan to hold next during the third quarter of 2025.
The following is a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022:

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our future growth, success, and performance are dependent on many factors, including those set forth below. While these factors present significant opportunities for us, they also represent the challenges that we must successfully address in order to grow our business and improve our results of operations.
•Impact of challenging macroeconomic environment, including high inflation and high interest rates. Recent macroeconomic challenges (including the high levels of inflation and high interest rates, new tariffs 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, leading to an economic downturn and increased market volatility. These challenges have also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. Our health system end market recently experienced meaningful financial strain from significant inflation. In particular, the health system end market experienced increases in labor and supply costs without a commensurate increase in revenue, leading to significant margin pressure. We are encouraged that, in general, the operating margins of our health system end market improved in 2024 relative to 2022 and 2023. If this trend with the end-markets continues, we expect it to be a tailwind in the medium-to-long-term.
•Add new clients. We believe our ability to increase our client base will enable us to drive growth. Our potential client base is generally in the early stages of data and analytics adoption and maturity. We expect to further penetrate the market over time as potential clients invest in commercial data and analytics solutions. As one of the first data platform and analytics vendors focused specifically on healthcare organizations, we have an early-mover advantage and strong brand awareness. Our clients are large, complex organizations who typically have long procurement cycles, which, as a result, may lead to challenges with adding new Platform Clients.
•Leverage recent product and services offerings to drive expansion. We believe that our ability to expand within our client base will enable us to drive growth. Over the last few years, we have developed and deployed several new analytics applications, including PowerCosting (formerly known as CORUS), PowerLabor, Touchstone, Patient Safety Monitor, Pop Analyzer (formerly known as Population Builder), Value Optimizer, and others. Because we are in the early stages of certain of our applications’ lifecycles and maturity, we do not have enough information to know the impact on revenue growth by upselling these applications and associated services to current and new clients.
•Impact of acquisitions. We have acquired multiple companies over the last few years, including Medicity in June 2018, Able Health in February 2020, Healthfinch in July 2020, Vitalware in September 2020, Twistle in July 2021, KPI Ninja in February 2022, ARMUS in April 2022, ERS in October 2023, Carevive in May 2024, Lumeon in August 2024, Intraprise in November 2024, and Upfront in January 2025. The historical and go-forward revenue growth profiles of these businesses may vary from our core Platform Clients, which can positively or negatively impact our overall growth rate. For example, Medicity clients have generated a lower dollar-based retention rate than Platform Clients and we expect declining revenue from Medicity clients in the foreseeable future. As we integrate the teams acquired via our recent acquisitions, we have also incurred integration-related costs and duplicative costs that could impact our operating cost profile in the near term.
•Changing revenue mix. Our technology and professional services offerings have materially different gross margin profiles. While our professional services offerings help our clients achieve measurable improvements and make them stickier, they have lower gross margins than our technology revenue. In 2024, our technology revenue and professional services revenue represented 64% and 36% of total revenue, respectively. Changes in our percentage of revenue attributable to Technology and Professional Services would impact future gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin.
Furthermore, changes within the types of professional services we offer over time can have a material impact on our Adjusted Professional Services Gross Margin, impacting our future gross margin and Total Adjusted Gross Margin. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for more information.
•Migration to Health Catalyst Ignite. We are in the process of migrating our Platform Clients from our DOS platform to Health Catalyst Ignite. These transitions have and will continue to result in higher cost of technology revenue, which will negatively impact Adjusted Technology Gross Margin. We anticipate Ignite migrations will be completed in mid-2026.

Recent Acquisitions
Upfront Healthcare, Inc.
On January 22, 2025, we acquired Upfront Healthcare Services, Inc.

Certain Upfront shareholders also received shares of Health Catalyst common stock subject to revesting that are accounted for as post-acquisition stock-based compensation. Given the recent timing of the closing of this business combination, we are in the process of identifying and measuring the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the acquisition-date fair value of the earn-out contingent consideration liability.

Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive our revenue from sales of technology and professional services. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, technology revenue represented 64%, 63%, and 64% of total revenue, respectively, and professional services revenue represented 36%, 37%, and 36% of total revenue, respectively.
Technology revenue. Technology revenue primarily consists of subscription fees charged to clients for access to use our Platform and analytics applications. We provide clients access to our technology through either an all-access or limited-access, modular subscription. Most of our subscription contracts are cloud-based and generally have a three or five-year term, of which many are terminable after one year upon 90 days’ notice. The vast majority of our Platform Client subscription contracts have built-in annual escalators for technology access fees. Also included in technology revenue is the maintenance and support we provide, which generally includes updates and support services.
Professional services revenue. Professional services revenue primarily includes analytics services, domain expertise services, TEMS, and implementation services. Professional services arrangements typically include a fee for making FTE services available to our clients on a monthly basis. FTE services generally consist of a blend of analytic engineers, analysts, and data scientists based on the domain expertise needed to best serve our clients.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue consists of client billings in advance of revenue being recognized from our technology and professional services arrangements. We primarily invoice our clients for technology arrangements annually or quarterly in advance. Amounts anticipated to be recognized within one year of the balance sheet date are recorded as deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, net of current portion on our consolidated balance sheets.

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization
Cost of technology revenue. Cost of technology revenue primarily consists of costs associated with hosting and supporting our technology, including third-party cloud computing and hosting costs, license and revenue share fees, contractor costs, and salary and related personnel costs for our cloud services and support teams.
Although we expect cost of technology revenue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase headcount, cloud computing, and hosting costs to accommodate growth, and as we continue to transition clients to third-party hosted data centers with Microsoft Azure and migrate clients to Health Catalyst Ignite, we anticipate cost of technology revenue as a percentage of technology revenue will generally decrease over the long term. We expect cost of technology revenue as a percentage of technology revenue to fluctuate and potentially increase in the near term, primarily due to additional costs associated with transitioning a small number of clients from on-premise deployments to Microsoft Azure-hosted environments and migrating clients to Health Catalyst Ignite.
Cost of professional services revenue. Cost of professional services revenue consists primarily of costs related to delivering our team’s expertise in analytics, strategic advisory, improvement, and implementation services. These costs primarily include salary and related personnel costs, travel-related costs, and outside contractor costs. The 2023 Restructuring Plan has reduced our ongoing cost of professional services revenue. However, we expect that the future savings from the reduced headcount may be offset by continued growth in our professional services, including TEMS. Our cost of professional services revenue may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of non-recurring professional services arrangements.

Operating expense
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily include salary and related personnel costs for our sales, marketing, and account management teams, lead generation, marketing events, including our HAS, marketing programs, and outside contractor costs associated with the sale and marketing of our offerings. We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing to grow our client base, expand in new markets, and increase our brand awareness. The trend and timing of sales and marketing expenses will depend in part on the timing of our expansion into new markets and marketing campaigns. Our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.
75

Research and development. Research and development expenses primarily include salary and related personnel costs for our data platform and analytics applications teams, subscriptions, and outside contractor costs associated with the development of products. We have developed an open, flexible, and scalable data platform. We plan to continue to invest in research and development to develop new solutions and enhance our applications library. The 2023 Restructuring Plan increased our research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 until midway through 2024 due to severance costs, but we expect that the reduction in headcount will reduce future, ongoing research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the nature, timing, and extent of these expenses.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily include salary and related personnel costs for our legal, finance, people operations, IT, and other administrative teams, including certain executives. General and administrative expenses also include facilities, subscriptions, corporate insurance, outside legal, accounting, directors’ fees, and the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses, including due to restructuring initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are primarily attributable to our capital investment and consist of fixed asset depreciation, amortization of intangibles considered to have definite lives, and amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs.

Interest and other income (expense), net
Interest and other income (expense), net primarily consists of income from our investment holdings offset by interest expense. Interest expense is primarily attributable to the Convertible Senior Notes and Credit Agreement and also includes the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our debt arrangements.

Income tax benefit
Income tax benefit consists of U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. Because of the uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax assets, we have a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and tax credits related primarily to research and development.
As of December 31, 2024, we had federal and state NOLs of $680.7 million and $571.6 million, respectively, which will begin to expire for federal and state tax purposes in 2032 and 2025, respectively. Our existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from ownership changes and, if we undergo an ownership change in the future, our ability to utilize our NOLs and tax credits could be further limited by Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. Future changes in our stock ownership, many of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. Our NOLs and tax credits may also be limited under similar provisions of state law.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) was enacted and signed into U.S. law. The IRA includes provisions imposing a 1% excise tax on share repurchases in excess of the fair value of stock issuances, including compensatory stock issuances, that occur after December 31, 2022 and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income. We do not expect the tax provisions of the IRA to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Interest and other income (expense), net decreased $8.5 million, or 93%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This change is primarily due to a $9.8 million increase in interest expense related to our new credit agreement with Silver Point Finance, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in interest income on our short-term investments, primarily due to higher market interest rates.

Income tax provision was largely consistent in the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Our income tax provision consists of current and deferred taxes for U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. As we have a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets, our income tax provision typically consists primarily of minimal state and foreign income taxes, which is the case for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $392.0 million, which were held for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and strategic transactions. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are comprised primarily of money market funds, U.S. treasury notes, commercial paper, corporate bonds, and U.S. agency securities.
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the proceeds we received through private sales of equity securities, payments received from clients under technology and professional services arrangements, borrowings under our loan and security agreements, our IPO, the Note Offering, and the Secondary Public Equity Offering. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our pace of new client growth and expanded client relationships, technology and professional services renewal activity, and the timing and extent of spend to support the expansion of sales, marketing, development, share repurchases, and acquisition-related activities. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months, though we may require additional capital resources in the future.

Credit Agreement
On July 16, 2024 (the Closing Date), we entered into a credit agreement with Silver Point Finance, LLC as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides a five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $225 million, consisting of an initial term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million, which was funded on the Closing Date, and a delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which was undrawn on the Closing Date.

We had the option to draw up to $40.0 million under the delayed draw facility within six months after the Closing Date and on October 29, 2024, we drew an additional principal amount of $37.7 million. We also have the option to draw up to an additional $60.0 million under the delayed draw facility within eighteen months after the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including a minimum liquidity threshold, and a maximum recurring revenue/leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are expected to bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 6.5%. Commencing with the quarter ending on December 31, 2024, we are required to make quarterly principal payments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate original principal amount. The final maturity date of the term loans is July 16, 2029.

We expect the net proceeds from the initial term loan to be used, together with cash on hand, (i) to repurchase, repay and/or pay amounts of cash due upon conversion of any or all of our Notes at any time on or prior to the maturity of the Notes and (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes. The proceeds from the delayed draw term loan facility, if any, will be used to fund our inorganic growth strategy through permitted acquisitions (including deferred purchase price or similar arrangements related thereto) and to pay fees, costs, and expenses in connection therewith.

Refer to “Note 10-Debt” of our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding the Credit Agreement.
Share repurchase plan
In August 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $40.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock (Share Repurchase Plan). During the year ended December 31, 2024 there were no share repurchases. The total remaining authorization for future shares of common stock repurchases under our Share Repurchase Plan is $29.8 million as of December 31, 2024.
Convertible senior notes
On April 14, 2020, we issued $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the Notes), pursuant to an Indenture dated April 14, 2020, with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. We received net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of $222.5 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and offering expenses payable by us. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.50% per year. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, with the form of consideration determined at our election. The conversion rate is initially 32.6797 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.60 per share of our common stock). We have the intent and ability to settle the Notes fully in cash upon the maturity date in April 2025.
Capped Calls

On April 8, 2020, concurrently with the pricing of the Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (Base Capped Calls) with certain financial institutions, or option counterparties. In addition, in connection with the initial purchasers’ exercise in full of their option to purchase additional Notes, on April 9, 2020, we entered into additional capped call transactions (Additional Capped Calls, and, together with the Base Capped Calls, the Capped Calls) with each of the option counterparties. We used approximately $21.6 million of the net proceeds from the Note Offering to pay the option premium cost of the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $42.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to the cap price.
Refer to “Note 10-Debt” of our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding the private offering of the Notes and the Capped Calls.

Operating activities
Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our clients for technology and professional services arrangements. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for employee-related expenses, marketing expenses, and technology costs.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $14.6 million, which included a net loss of $69.5 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $41.4 million in depreciation and amortization, $40.1 million in stock-based compensation, $3.3 million related to the amortization of debt discount, issuance costs, and deferred financing costs, and $2.2 million in impairment of long-lived assets, reduced by $4.8 million of investment discount accretion.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $33.1 million, which included a net loss of $118.1 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $55.8 million in stock-based compensation, $42.2 million in depreciation and amortization, and $4.1 million in impairment of long-lived assets, reduced by $9.7 million of investment discount accretion.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $35.3 million, which included a net loss of $137.4 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $72.1 million in stock-based compensation, $48.3 million in depreciation and amortization of property, equipment, and intangible assets, $5.0 million in impairment of long-lived assets, reduced by a $4.7 million net decrease in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, and a $4.5 million deferred tax benefit. The $3.2 million of payments in excess of the acquisition date fair value to settle the cash-based portion of contingent consideration liabilities was included in the net cash used in operating activities.
Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $22.9 million was primarily due to the purchases of short-term investments of $168.3 million, offset by the sale and maturity of short-term investments of $242.1 million. The net investing cash inflows provided by our short-term investment activity were offset by investing cash outflows of $80.3 million in the acquisition of businesses, $14.3 million of capitalized internal-use software development costs, and $2.1 million in purchases of property, equipment, and intangible assets.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $20.3 million was primarily due to the sale and maturity of short-term investments of $336.8 million, reduced by the purchases of short-term investments of $290.8 million. The net investing cash inflows provided by our short-term investment activity was partially offset by investing cash outflows of $11.4 million used to acquire ERS, $12.0 million of capitalized internal-use software development costs, and $2.4 million in purchases of property, equipment, and intangible assets.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $39.0 million was primarily due to $27.8 million used to acquire KPI Ninja and ARMUS, $13.0 million of capitalized internal-use software development costs, and $4.4 million in purchases of property, equipment, and intangible assets. These investing cash outflows were partially offset by the sale and maturity of short-term investments of $315.2 million, reduced by the purchases of short-term investments of $309.0 million.

83

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $151.7 million was primarily the result of $152.3 million of proceeds related to our Credit Agreement and drawing on the delayed draw facility, net of issuance costs, $2.4 million in proceeds from our ESPP and $0.2 million in stock option exercise proceeds, reduced by $2.2 million for the payment of deferred financing costs and $1.0 million in debt repayments.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $2.7 million was primarily the result of $3.6 million in proceeds from our ESPP and $1.0 million in stock option exercise proceeds, partially offset by $1.8 million in repurchases of common stock.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $2.6 million was primarily the result of $8.4 million in repurchases of common stock and $1.3 million in payments of acquisition-related obligations, partially offset by $4.0 million in stock option exercise proceeds and $3.2 million in proceeds from our ESPP.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the applicable periods. We base our estimates, assumptions, and judgments on our knowledge and experience about past and current events and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis.
The critical accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are described below.
Revenue recognition
We derive our revenues primarily from technology subscriptions and professional services. We determine revenue recognition by applying the following steps:
•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a client;
•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
•Determination of the transaction price;
•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
•Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation.
We recognize revenue net of any taxes collected from clients and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Technology revenue
Technology revenue primarily consists of subscription fees charged to clients for access to use our technology. We provide clients access to our technology through either an all-access or limited-access, modular subscription.
The majority of our subscription arrangements are cloud-based and do not provide clients the right to take possession of the technology or contain a significant penalty if the client were to take possession of the technology. Revenue from cloud-based subscriptions is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date that the service is made available to the client. Our subscription contracts generally have a three or five-year term, of which many are terminable after one year upon 90 days’ notice. Subscriptions that allow the client to take software on-premise without significant penalty are treated as time-based licenses. These arrangements generally include access to technology, access to unspecified future products, and maintenance and support. Revenue for upfront access to our technology library is recognized at a point in time when the technology is made available to the client. Revenue for access to unspecified future products included in time-based license subscriptions is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date that the access is made available to the client.
84

Professional services revenue
Professional services revenue primarily includes data and analytics services, domain expertise services, TEMS, and implementation services. Professional services arrangements typically include a fee for making full-time equivalent (FTE) services available to our clients on a monthly basis. FTE services generally consist of a blend of analytic engineers, analysts, and data scientists based on the domain expertise needed to best serve our clients. Professional services are typically considered distinct from the technology offerings and revenue is generally recognized as the service is provided using the “right to invoice” practical expedient.
Contracts with multiple performance obligations
Many of our contracts include multiple performance obligations. We account for performance obligations separately if they are capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. In these circumstances, the transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine standalone selling prices based on the observable price a good or service is sold for separately when available. In cases where standalone selling prices are not directly observable, based on information available, we utilize the expected cost plus a margin, adjusted market assessment, or residual estimation method. We consider all information available including our overall pricing objectives, market conditions, and other factors, which may include client demographics and the types of users. Standalone selling prices are not directly observable for our all-access and limited-access technology arrangements, which are composed of cloud-based subscriptions, time-based licenses, and perpetual licenses. For these technology arrangements, we generally use the residual estimation method due to a limited number of standalone transactions and/or prices that are highly variable.
Variable consideration
We have also entered into at-risk and shared savings arrangements with certain clients whereby we receive variable consideration based on the achievement of measurable improvements which may include cost savings or performance against metrics. For these arrangements, we estimate revenue using the most likely amount that we will receive. Estimates are based on our historical experience and best judgment at the time to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Due to the nature of our arrangements, certain estimates may be constrained until the uncertainty is further resolved.
Business combinations
The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business generally being recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
We perform valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on each acquisition accounted for as a business combination in order to record the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our best estimate of fair value. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. Significant estimation is required in determining the fair value of the client-related intangible assets and technology-related intangible assets. The significant estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of the inputs to the valuation models used to measure the fair value of these intangible assets, as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. We typically use the income approach or cost approach to measure the fair value of intangible assets. The significant assumptions used to form the basis of the estimates included the number of engineer hours required to develop technology, expected revenue including revenue growth rates, rate and timing of obsolescence, royalty rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin used in the estimate for client relationships, and backlog.
Many of these significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. We engage the assistance of valuation specialists in concluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining fair values of material assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

85

Contingent consideration liabilities
Our acquisition consideration in business combinations may include an estimate for contingent consideration that will be paid if certain earn-out performance targets are met. The resulting contingent consideration liabilities are categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement because we estimate projections during the earn-out period utilizing unobservable inputs, including various potential pay-out scenarios based on billings and revenue-related earn-out targets. Changes to the unobservable inputs could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We generally value the expected contingent consideration and the corresponding liabilities using a probability model such as the Monte Carlo method or Black-Scholes Model based on estimates of potential payment scenarios. Probabilities are applied to each potential scenario and the resulting values are discounted using a rate that considers weighted average cost of capital as well as a specific risk premium associated with the riskiness of the earn-out itself, the related projections, projected payment dates, and volatility in the fair value of our common stock. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period. As applicable, the portion of the contingent consideration liabilities that will be settled in shares of our common stock is classified as a component of non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, while the portion to be paid in cash is classified as a component of current liabilities. Changes to the contingent consideration liabilities are reflected as part of general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill
We record goodwill as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for a business combination and the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve technology and product offerings, client relationships, and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually on October 31 or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present or circumstances suggest that impairment may exist.
Our first step in the goodwill impairment test is a qualitative analysis of factors that could be indicators of potential impairment. Judgment in the assessment of qualitative factors of impairment may include changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events impacting the reporting unit.
Next, if a quantitative analysis is necessary, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test includes the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit, which requires management to use significant judgment and estimation. The significant estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of the inputs to the valuation models used to measure the fair value of the reporting units, as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. We typically use the income or market approach to measure the fair value of reporting units. The significant assumptions used to form the basis of the estimates include, among others, the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of expected revenue, including revenue growth rates, and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, and the selection of appropriate market comparable companies. Many of these significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. When a quantitative analysis is necessary, we typically engage the assistance of valuation specialists in concluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining the fair values of our reporting units.
If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs), and restricted shares are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the award on the grant date or, when applicable, the modification date. The grant date fair value of our stock-based awards is typically determined using the market closing price of our common stock on the date of grant; however, we also consider whether any adjustments are required when the market closing price does not reflect certain material non-public information that we know but is unavailable to marketplace participants on the date of grant. The expense is recognized straight-line over the vesting period for awards with a service condition. The accelerated attribution method is used for PRSUs. We record forfeitures of stock-based awards as the actual forfeitures occur.
86

For awards subject to performance conditions, we record expense when the performance condition becomes probable. Each reporting period, we evaluate the probability of achieving the performance criteria, estimate the number of shares that are expected to vest, and adjust the related compensation expense accordingly. For awards subject to market conditions, we estimate the fair value as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model which requires the use of various assumptions, including historic stock price volatility and risk-free interest rates as of the valuation date corresponding to the length of time remaining in the performance period. Stock-based compensation expense for awards with market conditions is recognized over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method and is not reversed if the market condition is not met.
Stock-based compensation expense related to purchase rights issued under the 2019 Health Catalyst Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model fair value of the estimated number of awards as of the beginning of the offering period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the offering period. We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the assumptions related to our stock-based compensation on a prospective basis. As we continue to accumulate additional data related to our common stock, we may have refinements to our estimates, which could materially impact our future stock-based compensation expense.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates but may include foreign currency exchange risk and inflation in the future.
Interest rate risk
We had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $392.0 million and $317.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are held for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and strategic transactions.
We do not make investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed-rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fluctuate due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because we classify our investments as “available for sale,” no gains or losses are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have had a material impact on the value of our cash equivalents or investment portfolio. Fluctuations in the value of our cash equivalents and investment portfolio caused by a change in interest rates (gains or losses on the carrying value) are recorded in other comprehensive income and are realized only if we sell the underlying securities prior to maturity.
On April 14, 2020, we issued $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (Notes), in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers exempt from registration under the Securities Act (Note Offering). The Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 2.50%, and, therefore, we do not have economic interest rate exposure on the Notes. However, the values of the Notes are exposed to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair value of our fixed interest rate Notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. We carry the Notes as face value less unamortized discount on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only.
On July 16, 2024, we entered into the Credit Agreement consisting of a $125 million funded term loan and a delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which was undrawn as of the Closing Date. as of December 31, 2024, $37.7 million of the delayed draw term loan had been drawn upon. The maturity date of the term loans is July 16, 2029. The interest that accrues on outstanding principal of the term loans is payable in cash on a quarterly basis, which portion accrues at a floating rate equal to SOFR plus 6.5% per year. In the event that SOFR is unavailable, interest will accrue at a floating rate equal to the alternate base rate (as described in the Credit Agreement) plus 5.5% per year. Commencing with the quarter ending on December 31, 2024, we are required to make quarterly principal payments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate original principal amount, and the final maturity date of the term loans is July 16, 2029.
In addition to the floating interest rate, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments under the delayed draw facility ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% per year depending upon the year and the unutilized delayed draw term loan.
Interest rate risk also reflects our exposure to movements in interest rates associated with our borrowings. As of the time of this filing a hypothetical change in interest rates of 100 basis points would not have a material impact on the fair value of our outstanding debt.
Foreign currency exchange risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and the functional currency of our international subsidiaries is typically their local currency. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the British Pound, Indian Rupee, and Singapore Dollar. Due to the relatively small size of our international operations to date, our foreign currency exposure has been fairly limited and not material to our business. Accordingly, we have not instituted a hedging program. We are considering the costs and benefits of initiating such a program and may in the future hedge balances and transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as we expand international operations.

88

Today, our international sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars or local currencies, while our international operating expenses are primarily denominated in local currencies. In the future, an increasing portion of our international sales contracts may be denominated in local currencies. Additionally, as we expand our international operations a larger portion of our operating expenses will be denominated in local currencies. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may affect our results of operations when translated into U.S. dollars.
Inflation risk
The recently high inflationary environment has adversely affected workforces, organizations, governments, clients, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn and increased market volatility. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours.
Our health system end market recently experienced meaningful financial strain from significant inflation with increases in labor and supply costs without a commensurate increase in revenue, leading to significant margin pressure. We are encouraged that, in general, the operating margins of our health system end market improved in 2024 relative to 2022 and 2023. However, it is possible that inflation could negatively impact clients in the future. If our costs, including labor costs, were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures on an ongoing basis, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs by increasing fees for our Solution. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The contractual commitment amounts summarized below are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the transaction. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify clients or business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us or from data breaches, or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. No demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Convertible senior notes
On April 14, 2020, we issued $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2025. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.50% per year. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, with the form of consideration determined at our election. The conversion rate is initially 32.6797 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.60 per share of our common stock).
Credit Agreement

On July 16, 2024 (the Closing Date), we entered into a credit agreement with Silver Point Finance, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders from time-to-time party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides a five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $225.0 million, consisting of an initial term loan of $125.0 million, which was funded in full on the Closing Date, and a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million, which was undrawn as of the Closing Date.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Health Catalyst, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Health Catalyst, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 26, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue Recognition – identification of and accounting for performance obligations
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 1 and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company primarily derives its revenues from recurring technology and professional services subscriptions. When the Company’s contracts contain multiple performance obligations that are determined to be distinct, the performance obligations are accounted for separately. In such cases, the transaction price is allocated to the distinct performance obligations on a standalone selling price basis and the timing of revenue recognition is determined separately for each performance obligation.

Auditing the Company's determination of distinct performance obligations, the allocation of the transaction price based on a standalone selling price and the timing of revenue recognition can be challenging. Judgment is involved to determine the distinct performance obligations, standalone selling price, and the timing of revenue recognition. For example, there may be nonstandard terms and conditions or changes in management’s business practices that can have a material effect on the distinct performance obligations, the appropriate standalone selling price and the timing of revenue recognition.
92

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company's process to determine the distinct performance obligations and standalone selling prices for each performance obligation, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and determine the appropriate timing of revenue recognition for each distinct performance obligation.

Our audit procedures included, among others, testing a sample of contracts. For each contract selection, we read the executed contract to assess management’s evaluation of significant nonstandard terms and conditions and tested the appropriateness of the determination of distinct performance obligations. We also tested the allocation of the transaction price and management’s determination of standalone selling price for performance obligations by assessing the appropriateness of the methodology applied, testing the calculations for mathematical accuracy and testing selections to corroborate the data underlying the Company’s calculations. To test the timing of revenue recognition and the appropriateness of the methodology employed for each distinct performance obligation, we tested the amounts recognized as revenue or recorded as deferred revenue. Additionally, we performed an analytical procedure to verify the appropriateness of the timing of revenue recognition and tested the completeness and accuracy of relevant underlying data utilized in the analytical procedure.

Business Combinations
Description of the Matter
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2024, the Company completed the acquisitions of Carevive Systems, Inc., Lumeon Ltd. and Intraprise Health, LLC. for net consideration of $22 million, $40 million and $45 million, respectively. These transactions were accounted for as business combinations.

Auditing the Company’s accounting for these acquisitions was complex when considered in aggregate due to the significant estimation inherent in determining the fair values of the developed technologies and customer relationships intangible assets, which totaled $20 million and $19 million in aggregate, respectively. The significant estimation was primarily due to the sensitivity of the aggregated fair values to the underlying revenue growth rate assumption utilized in the valuation of the developed technologies and customer relationships intangible assets for the period after the initial acquisition year and prior to the application of a long-term growth rate (“discrete revenue growth rates”). As the discrete revenue growth rates are forward-looking, this assumption could be impacted by the future performance of the acquired businesses and affected by future economic and market conditions.


How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company's controls that address the risk of material misstatement related to the Company’s accounting for these acquisitions, in particular the determination of the discrete revenue growth rates utilized in the estimation of the fair value of developed technologies and customer relationships intangible assets. Specifically, we tested controls over the development of and management’s review of the forecasted discrete revenue growth rates utilized in the valuation of the developed technologies and customer relationships intangible assets of each acquisition.

To test the estimated fair value of the developed technologies and customer relationships intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the valuation methodology and testing the reasonableness of the discrete revenue growth rates used by the Company's valuation specialist, and evaluating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the estimated fair values. We involved our valuation specialists to assist with our assessment of the appropriateness of the valuation methodology applied by the Company.
93

We also tested the reasonableness of the discrete revenue growth rates included in the fair value estimates. For example, we compared the discrete revenue growth rates to current industry, market and economic trends, revenue growth rates used to value similar assets in other acquisitions, historical results of the acquired businesses, and the Company’s budgets and forecasts. In addition, we performed sensitivity analyses over these growth rates. Additionally, we performed a benchmarking analysis to determine that the acquired intangible assets as a percentage of total purchase consideration were within a reasonable range in relation to other recent industry business combinations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Health Catalyst, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Health Catalyst, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Health Catalyst, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and our report dated February 26, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, reserve for expected credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment, capitalization and estimated useful life of internal-use software, impairment assessments of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, fair value of financial instruments, deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, contingent consideration, the period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, the incremental borrowing rate used for operating leases, and tax uncertainties. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer, who we have concluded is our chief operating decision maker (CODM) in assessing performance and making decisions regarding resource allocation. We operate our business in two operating segments that also represent our reportable segments. Our segments are (1) technology and (2) professional services.
The CODM is regularly provided with and uses Adjusted Gross Profit as the measure of our profit used to assess performance and allocate resources between the two operating segments. This measure is utilized during our budgeting and forecasting process to assess profitability and enable decision making regarding strategic initiatives, capital investments, and personnel across our two operating segments. Refer to Note 20-Segments for additional details.
Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, when dilutive, including the effect of shares issuable as acquisition-related contingent consideration. For purposes of this calculation, stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs), convertible senior notes, restricted shares, and purchase rights committed under the employee stock purchase plan are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as the effect is anti-dilutive.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Revenue recognition
We derive our revenue primarily from technology subscriptions and professional services. We determine revenue recognition by applying the following steps:
•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a client;
•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
•Determination of the transaction price;
•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
•Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation.
We recognize revenue net of any taxes collected from clients and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Technology revenue
Technology revenue primarily consists of subscription fees charged to clients for access to use our technology. We provide clients access to our technology through either an all-access or limited-access, modular subscription.
The majority of our subscription arrangements are cloud-based and do not provide clients the right to take possession of the technology or contain a significant penalty if the client were to take possession of the technology. Revenue from cloud-based subscriptions is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date that the service is made available to the client. Our subscription contracts generally have a three or five-year term, of which many are terminable after one year upon 90 days’ notice.
Subscriptions that allow the client to take software on-premise without significant penalty are treated as time-based licenses. These arrangements generally include access to technology, access to unspecified future products, and maintenance and support. Revenue for upfront access to our technology library is recognized at a point in time when the technology is made available to the client. Revenue for access to unspecified future products included in time-based license subscriptions is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date that the access is made available to the client.
Professional services revenue
Professional services revenue primarily includes data and analytics services, domain expertise services, TEMS, and implementation services. Professional services arrangements typically include a fee for making full-time equivalent (FTE) services available to our clients on a monthly basis. FTE services generally consist of a blend of analytic engineers, analysts, and data scientists based on the domain expertise needed to best serve our clients. Professional services are typically considered distinct from the technology offerings and revenue is generally recognized as the service is provided using the “right to invoice” practical expedient.
Contracts with multiple performance obligations
Many of our contracts include multiple performance obligations. We account for performance obligations separately if they are capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. In these circumstances, the transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine standalone selling prices based on the observable price a good or service is sold for separately when available. In cases where standalone selling prices are not directly observable, based on information available, we utilize the expected cost plus a margin, adjusted market assessment, or residual estimation methods. We consider all information available including our overall pricing objectives, market conditions, and other factors, which may include client demographics and the types of users.
Standalone selling prices are not directly observable for our all-access and limited-access technology arrangements, which are composed of cloud-based subscriptions, time-based licenses, and perpetual licenses. For these technology arrangements, we generally use the residual estimation method due to a limited number of standalone transactions and/or prices that are highly variable.

Variable consideration
We have also entered into at-risk and shared savings arrangements with certain clients whereby we receive variable consideration based on the achievement of measurable improvements that may include cost savings or performance against metrics. For these arrangements, we estimate revenue using the most likely amount that we will receive. Estimates are based on our historical experience and best judgment at the time to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Due to the nature of our arrangements, certain estimates may be constrained until the uncertainty is further resolved.
Contract balances
Contract assets resulting from services performed prior to invoicing clients are recorded as unbilled accounts receivable and are presented on the consolidated balance sheets in aggregate with accounts receivable. Unbilled accounts receivable generally become billable at contractually specified dates or upon the attainment of contractually defined milestones.
We record contract liabilities as deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Deferred revenue includes advance consideration received from the client and billings in excess of revenue recognized.
Refer to Note 17-Contract Balances and Remaining Performance Obligations for additional details.
Deferred costs
We capitalize sales commissions, and associated fringe costs, such as benefits and payroll taxes, paid to direct sales personnel and other incremental costs of obtaining contracts with clients, provided we expect to recover those costs. We determine that costs should be deferred based on our sales compensation plans when the commissions are incremental and would not have occurred absent the client contract. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of deferred contract acquisition costs are expected to be amortized within the next 12 months and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the remaining $2.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively, of deferred contract acquisition costs are included in non-current other assets.
Commissions paid upon the initial acquisition of a contract are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated period of benefit of four years. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis commensurate with the pattern of revenue recognition. The period of benefit was estimated by considering factors such as estimated average client life, the rate of technological change in our subscription service, and the impact of competition in our industry. As our average client life significantly exceeded the rate of change in our technology, we concluded that the rate of change in the technology underlying our subscription service was the most significant factor in determining the period of benefit for which the asset relates. In evaluating the rate of change in our technology, we considered the competition in our industry, our commitment to continuous innovation, and the frequency of product, platform, and technology updates. We determined that the impact of competition in our industry is reflected in the period of benefit through the rate of technological change. Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs was $2.7 million, $2.3 million, and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which is included within sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
We defer certain costs to fulfill a contract when the costs are expected to be recovered, are directly related to in-process contracts, and enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future. These deferred fulfillment costs primarily consist of employee compensation incurred as part of the implementation of new contracts. Amortization of deferred fulfillment costs is included within cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
We periodically review these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit. There were no impairment losses recorded during the periods presented.
Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization
Cost of technology revenue primarily consists of costs associated with hosting and supporting our technology, including third-party cloud computing and hosting costs, license and revenue share fees, contractor costs, and salary and related personnel costs for our cloud services and support teams. Cost of professional services revenue primarily consists of salary and related personnel costs, travel-related costs, and independent contractor costs. Cost of revenue excludes costs related to depreciation and amortization.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Cash and cash equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Short-term investments
Our investment policy limits investments to highly-rated instruments. We classify and account for our short-term investments as available for sale securities as we may sell these securities at any time for use in our current operations or for other purposes, even prior to maturity. As a result, we classify our short-term investments, including securities with contractual maturities beyond twelve months, within current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are recorded at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for credit losses based on the probability of future collections. Our allowance is based on our estimate of expected credit losses for outstanding trade accounts receivables and unbilled receivables. We determine expected credit losses based on historical write-off experience, an analysis of the aging of outstanding receivables, client payment patterns, the establishment of specific reserves for clients in an adverse financial condition, and our expectations of changes in macroeconomic conditions, including high interest rates and high inflation, that may impact the collectability of outstanding receivables.
We reassess the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses each reporting period. The following table presents a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Balance at beginning of period $ 4,105  $ 2,300  $ 1,600 
Current period provision for expected credit losses 1,202  1,821  691 
Write-offs, net of recoveries (1,107) (16)
Balance at end of period $ 4,200  $ 4,105  $ 2,300 
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the useful life or improve the related assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of each asset category is as follows:
Computer equipment
2-3 years
Furniture and fixtures
3-5 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of lease term or estimated useful life
Computer software
2-5 years
Capitalized internal-use software costs
2-3 years
When there are indicators of potential impairment, we evaluate the recoverability of the carrying values by comparing the carrying amount of the applicable asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group over the remaining useful life of the primary asset, plus any terminal value, in the asset group. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds those estimated future net cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include developed technologies, client relationships, client contracts, and trademarks that were acquired in business combinations and asset acquisitions. Intangible assets also include the purchase of third-party computer software. The intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of each asset category is as follows:
Developed technologies
3-10 years
Client relationships and contracts
2-7 years
Computer software licenses
1-5 years
Trademarks
1-5 years
Goodwill
We record goodwill as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for a business combination and the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve technology and product offerings, client relationships, and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually on October 31 or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present or circumstances suggest that impairment may exist.
Our first step in the goodwill impairment test is a qualitative analysis of factors that could be indicators of potential impairment. Judgment in the assessment of qualitative factors of impairment may include changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events impacting the reporting unit.
Next, if a quantitative analysis is necessary, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. Performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test includes the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit, which requires management to use significant judgment and estimation. The significant estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of the inputs to the valuation models used to measure the fair value of the reporting units, as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. Typical methods to estimate the fair value of reporting units include using the income and market approaches. The significant assumptions used to form the basis of the estimates include, among others, the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of expected revenue, including revenue growth rates, and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, and the selection of appropriate market comparable companies. Many of these significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. If a quantitative analysis is necessary, we typically engage the assistance of a valuation specialist in concluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining the fair values of our reporting units.
If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. There was no impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Business combinations
The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business generally being recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
We perform valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on each acquisition accounted for as a business combination in order to record the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our best estimate of fair value. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. Significant estimation is required in determining the fair value of the client-related intangible assets and technology-related intangible assets.
106

HEALTH CATALYST, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The significant estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of the inputs to the valuation models used to measure the fair value of these intangible assets, as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. We typically use the income approach or cost approach to measure the fair value of intangible assets. The significant assumptions used to form the basis of the estimates included the number of engineer hours required to develop technology, expected revenue including revenue growth rates, rate and timing of obsolescence, royalty rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin used in the estimate for client relationships, and backlog. Many of these significant assumptions were forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. We engage the assistance of valuation specialists in concluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining fair values of material assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we expensed $8.0 million, $3.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of transaction costs associated with business combinations. The costs were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Contingent consideration liabilities
Our acquisition consideration in business combinations may include an estimate for contingent consideration that will be paid if certain earn-out performance targets are met. The resulting contingent consideration liabilities are categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement because we estimate projections during the earn-out period utilizing unobservable inputs, including various potential pay-out scenarios based on billings and revenue-related earn-out targets. Changes to the unobservable inputs could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We generally value the expected contingent consideration and the corresponding liabilities using a probability model such as the Monte Carlo method or Black-Scholes Model based on estimates of potential payment scenarios. Probabilities are applied to each potential scenario and the resulting values are discounted using a rate that considers weighted average cost of capital as well as a specific risk premium associated with the riskiness of the earn-out itself, the related projections, projected payment dates, and volatility in the fair value of our common stock. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period.
As applicable, the portion of the contingent consideration liabilities that will be settled in shares of our common stock is classified as a component of non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, while the portion to be paid in cash is classified as a component of current liabilities. Changes to the contingent consideration liabilities are reflected as part of general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 7-Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional details related to contingent consideration liabilities outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Advertising costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we incurred $5.1 million, $2.6 million, and $5.7 million in advertising costs, respectively.
Development costs and internal-use software
For technology products that are developed to be sold externally or installed on premise, we determined that technological feasibility is reached shortly before the products are ready for general release. Any costs associated with software development between the time technological feasibility is reached and general release are not material.
We capitalize certain development costs incurred in connection with our internal-use software. These capitalized costs are primarily related to the software platforms that are hosted by us and accessed by our clients on a subscription basis. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of property and equipment. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life with amortization included in depreciation and amortization expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based compensation
Stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and restricted shares are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the award on the grant date or, when applicable, the modification date. The grant date fair value of our stock-based awards is typically determined using the market closing price of our common stock on the date of grant; however, if necessary we also consider whether any adjustments are required when the market closing price does not reflect certain material non-public information that we know but is unavailable to marketplace participants on the date of grant. We record forfeitures of stock-based awards as the actual forfeitures occur. The measurement date for non-employee awards is the date of grant. The compensation expense for non-employees is recognized, without changes in the fair value of the award, in the same period and in the same manner as though we had paid cash for the services, which is typically the vesting period of the respective award.
For awards subject to performance conditions, we record expense when the performance condition becomes probable. Each reporting period, we evaluate the probability of achieving the performance criteria, estimate the number of shares that are expected to vest, and adjust the related compensation expense accordingly. For awards subject to market conditions, we estimate the fair value as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model which requires the use of various assumptions, including historic stock price volatility and risk-free interest rates as of the valuation date corresponding to the length of time remaining in the performance period. Stock-based compensation expense for awards with market conditions is recognized over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method and is not reversed if the market condition is not met.
Stock-based compensation expense related to purchase rights issued under the 2019 Health Catalyst Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model fair value of the estimated number of awards as of the beginning of the offering period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the offering period.
Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. We deposit cash with high credit quality financial institutions which at times may exceed federally insured amounts. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits.
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our clients’ financial condition and require no collateral from clients. We review the expected collectability of accounts receivable and record an allowance for credit losses based on the probability of future collections. There were no clients with more than 10% of total outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. There were no clients with revenue as a percentage of total revenue greater than 10% for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Restructuring costs
We define restructuring costs as expenses directly associated with restructuring activities. Such costs include severance and related tax and benefit expenses from workforce reductions, impairment of discontinued capitalized software projects, and other miscellaneous charges. We record team member-related severance costs when there is a substantive plan in place and the related costs are probable and estimable. For one-time termination benefits for team members (i.e., no substantive plan or future service requirement), the cost is recorded when the terms of the one-time termination benefits are communicated to the impacted team members and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Income taxes
Deferred income tax balances are accounted for using the asset and liability method and reflect the effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when taxes are actually paid or recovered. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on all available positive and negative evidence. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, recent cumulative earnings or losses, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, and the carry-forward periods available for the utilization of deferred tax assets.
108

HEALTH CATALYST, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
We use a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain income tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We do not currently accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes because the impact would be immaterial due to our net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions.
Although we believe that we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, we can provide no assurance that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be materially different. We evaluate our uncertain tax positions on a regular basis and evaluations are based on a number of factors, including changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of an audit, and effective settlement of audit issues. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to an income tax requirement whereby certain income earned by foreign subsidiaries, referred to as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), must be included in our taxable gross income for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes. GAAP provides for an accounting policy election of either recognizing deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or recognizing such taxes as a current period expense when incurred. We have elected to treat GILTI as a current period expense when incurred.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, receivables, accounts payable, and current accrued expenses approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of contingent consideration liabilities, operating lease liabilities, and convertible senior notes approximate fair value based on interest rates available for debt with similar terms at December 31, 2024 and 2023. Money market funds and short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. On a quarterly basis we evaluate unrealized losses on our available-for-sale debt securities and the related accrued interest receivables to determine whether a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the market.
Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
•Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2- Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3- Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
All of our financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based on other observable inputs. For Level 2 securities, we use a third-party pricing service which provides documentation on an ongoing basis that includes, among other things, pricing information with respect to reference data, methodology, inputs summarized by asset class, pricing application, and corroborative information. Our contingent consideration liabilities are categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement because we estimate projections during the earn out period utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheets. We have adopted the short-term lease recognition exemption policy. All of our leasing commitments are classified either as operating leases or otherwise qualify as short-term leases with lease terms of 12 months or less.
109

HEALTH CATALYST, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our lease contracts do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the estimated rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease executory costs. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the applicable option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable costs related to our leased office space, such as maintenance and utilities based on actual usage, are not included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, but are expensed as incurred.
Foreign currency
The functional currency of our international subsidiaries is generally their local currency. We translate these subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars using month-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for revenue and expenses. We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. We record foreign exchange gains and losses in interest and other expense, net. Our net foreign exchange gains and losses were not material for the periods presented.
Accounting pronouncements adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the amendments have been applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provision of this ASU to determine the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and we expect additional disclosures upon adoption.

2. Business Combinations
The business acquisitions discussed below are included in our results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition.
2024 Acquisitions
Intraprise Health, LLC
On November 8, 2024, we acquired Intraprise Health, LLC (Intraprise), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and security services to healthcare organizations. We accounted for the acquisition of Intraprise as a business combination. The acquisition consideration transferred was $44.9 million and was comprised of net cash consideration of $25.4 million and Health Catalyst common shares with a fair value of $19.5 million. The purchase resulted in Health Catalyst acquiring 100% ownership in Intraprise.

The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred and the identifiable assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of our acquisition of Intraprise (in thousands):
Assets acquired:
Accounts receivable, net
$ 1,344 
Prepaid expenses and other assets
118 
Client relationships 12,400 
Developed technology 4,200 
Trademarks 300 
Total assets acquired 18,362 
Less liabilities assumed:
Accrued and other current liabilities 199 
Deferred revenue 2,877 
Total liabilities assumed 3,076 
Total assets acquired, net 15,286 
Goodwill 29,598 
Total consideration transferred, net of cash acquired $ 44,884 
The acquired intangible assets were valued utilizing either an income approach or a cost approach as deemed most applicable, and include enterprise client relationships, small and medium business client relationships, developed technology, and trademarks that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of seven years, three years, three years, and three years, respectively. The resulting goodwill from the Intraprise acquisition was allocated $23.7 million to the technology reporting unit and $5.9 million to the professional services reporting unit, and $21.5 million of acquired goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

The preliminary allocation of the consideration transferred is subject to potential adjustments. Balances subject to adjustment are primarily tax-related matters, including the tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, we may record adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized in our initial accounting for the acquisition. We expect the allocation of the consideration transferred to be final within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). There were no measurement period adjustments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The amount of revenue attributable to the acquired business of Intraprise was not material to our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Income (loss) information for Intraprise after the acquisition date through December 31, 2024 is not presented as the Intraprise business was integrated into our operations immediately following the acquisition and is impracticable to quantify.

Lumeon Ltd.
On August 1, 2024, we acquired Lumeon Ltd. (Lumeon), a digital health company dedicated to helping provider organizations mend broken care coordination processes through automated care orchestration. We accounted for the acquisition of Lumeon as a business combination. The acquisition consideration transferred was $39.8 million and was comprised of net cash consideration of $36.2 million, Health Catalyst common shares with a fair value of $2.9 million, and contingent consideration based on certain earn-out performance targets for Lumeon during an earn-out period ending on June 30, 2025, with an acquisition-date fair value of $0.7 million. The purchase resulted in Health Catalyst acquiring 100% ownership in Lumeon.

The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred and the identifiable assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of our acquisition of Lumeon (in thousands):
Assets acquired:
Accounts receivable, net
$ 967

Total liabilities assumed 2,890 
Total assets acquired, net 15,437 
Goodwill 24,393 
Total consideration transferred, net of cash acquired $ 39,830 
The acquired intangible assets were valued utilizing either an income approach or a cost approach as deemed most applicable, and include client relationships, developed technology, and trademarks that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of seven years, four years, and five years, respectively. The resulting goodwill from the Lumeon acquisition was fully allocated to the technology reporting unit and is not deductible for income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2024, we recorded a measurement period adjustment as a result of the completion of a UK historic loss analysis that concluded that no limitation is required related to Lumeon's historic UK tax loss carryforwards as a result of a major change in nature or conduct of trade. The measurement period adjustment increased the deferred tax assets acquired and we have provided a valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets acquired. The measurement period adjustment decreased acquired goodwill by $3.7 million.

The preliminary allocation of the consideration transferred is subject to other potential adjustments. Balances subject to adjustment are primarily tax-related matters, including the tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, we may record adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized in our initial accounting for the acquisition. We expect the allocation of the consideration transferred to be final within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

The value of these restricted shares was originally scheduled to be recognized as post-combination stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting term, but due to workforce reductions made as part of the 2023 Restructuring Plan (as defined below), the ERS restricted shares fully vested in February 2024, resulting in an acceleration of the related stock-based compensation expense.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Convertible Senior Notes
As of December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of our convertible senior notes, with aggregate principal totaling $230.0 million, was $227.5 million. We estimate the fair value based on quoted market prices in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period (Level 2). These convertible senior notes are recorded at face value less unamortized debt discount and transaction costs on our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 10-Debt for further information.
Nonrecurring fair value measurements
We recorded impairment charges of $2.2 million, $4.1 million, and $3.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the impairment of ROU assets, leasehold improvements, and furniture and fixtures associated with recently subleased office space. These impairment charges were derived from the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the relevant asset groups. The fair value of these asset groups was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis of the subleased space and included certain unobservable (Level 3) inputs, including the anticipated future sublease terms and rates. Refer to Note 9-Leases for further information.
Level 3 fair value measurements
The Lumeon acquisition consideration included an initial estimate for contingent consideration based on certain revenue-based earn-out performance targets for Lumeon during an earn-out period that ends on June 30, 2025. The Lumeon contingent consideration is capped at $25.0 million and will be paid in cash to the extent achieved. We value Lumeon’s expected contingent consideration and the corresponding liability using the Black-Scholes valuation method based on estimates of potential pay-out scenarios.
The Carevive acquisition consideration included an initial estimate for contingent consideration based on certain revenue-based earn-out performance targets for Carevive during an earn-out period that ends on June 30, 2025. The Carevive contingent consideration is capped at $10.0 million and will be paid in cash to the extent achieved. We value Carevive’s expected contingent consideration and the corresponding liability using the Black-Scholes valuation method based on estimates of potential pay-out scenarios.
There were no contingent consideration liabilities related to the acquisitions of Intraprise, ERS, ARMUS, or KPI Ninja.
The outstanding contingent consideration liabilities are categorized as Level 3 fair value measurements and are remeasured as of each reporting period. The aggregate intrinsic value of the revenue-based earn-out contingent consideration liabilities is zero based on a point estimate of our internal forecasting of the ultimate earn-outs that will be earned as of December 31, 2024. The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of the contingent consideration liabilities include the other following significant inputs as of December 31, 2024:

9. Leases
Operating leases
We lease office space under operating leases that expire between 2025 and 2031. The terms of the leases provide for rental payments on a graduated scale, options to renew the leases (one to five years), landlord incentives or allowances, and periods of free rent.
During the year ended December 31, 2020 we took initial possession of the first 118,207 square feet of our headquarters in South Jordan, Utah to begin leasehold improvements, which resulted in an initial right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of $23.8 million, and commencement of operating lease expense. During the year ended December 31, 2023 the leased square footage of our corporate headquarters expanded and we took possession of an additional 9,830 rentable square feet of office space, which resulted in an additional right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $1.5 million. We have the right to sublease all, or a portion, of this leased office space provided that certain terms and conditions are met.
We subleased portions of our corporate headquarters to various sublessees with subleases commencing at various dates between 2021 and 2024. As of December 31, 2024, 74,354 rentable square feet of our corporate headquarters was subleased. We classified each sublease as an operating lease. The initial subleases have terms ranging from eighteen months to 8.5 years. As indicators of impairment arise, we have performed recoverability tests of the relevant asset groups, comprised of operating lease right-of-use and other related assets, and in some instances have determined that the carrying value of these asset groups were not fully recoverable. As a result, we measured and recognized total impairment charges of $2.2 million, $4.1 million, and $3.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, representing the amount by which the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of these asset groups. The impairment charges were recorded as part of general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, $1.5 million of the impairment charge was allocated to the ROU assets and the remaining $0.7 million was allocated to leasehold improvements, while during the year ended December 31, 2023, $2.9 million of the impairment charge was allocated to the ROU asset and the remaining $1.2 million was allocated to leasehold improvements, and during the year ended December 31, 2022, $2.6 million of the impairment charge was allocated to the ROU asset and the remaining $1.2 million was allocated to leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures.

Credit Agreement

On July 16, 2024 (the Closing Date), we entered into a credit agreement with Silver Point Finance, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders from time-to-time party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides a five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $225.0 million, consisting of an initial term loan of $125.0 million, which was funded in full on the Closing Date, and a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million, which was undrawn as of the Closing Date.

We had the option to draw up to $40.0 million under the delayed draw facility within six months after the Closing Date and on October 29, 2024, we drew an additional principal amount of $37.7 million. We also have the option to draw up to an additional $60.0 million under the delayed draw facility within eighteen months after the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including a minimum liquidity threshold, and a maximum recurring revenue/leverage ratio. We are required to pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments under the delayed draw term loan facility ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% per year depending on the year and the amount of the unutilized delayed draw term loan.
124

HEALTH CATALYST, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The deferred financing costs related to the delayed draw facility, including the directly attributable debt discount, have been capitalized to other assets on our consolidated balance sheets, and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations, in each case over the respective terms.

Borrowings under the initial term loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 6.5%. Commencing with the quarter ending on December 31, 2024, we are required to make quarterly principal payments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate original principal amount. The final maturity date of the term loans is July 16, 2029. We expect to use the net proceeds from the initial term loan, together with cash on hand, (i) to repurchase, repay, and/or pay amounts of cash due upon conversion of any or all of the Notes at any time on or prior to the maturity thereof and (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes. We expect to use the proceeds from the delayed draw term loan facility, to fund our inorganic growth strategy through permitted acquisitions (including deferred purchase price or similar arrangements related thereto) and to pay fees, costs, and expenses in connection therewith.

We are required to prepay the term loans upon the occurrence of certain events, and we may voluntarily prepay the term loans, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain notice requirements and prepayment amounts. Prior to July 16, 2028, such mandatory prepayments or voluntary prepayments are subject to a prepayment premium ranging from 1.0% to 3.0% plus a make whole amount depending on the year of such prepayment. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents are required to be guaranteed by all of our present and future domestic and foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (Guarantors). All obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents are secured by a first priority perfected lien on, and security interest in, substantially all of our and our Guarantor’s present and future assets, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains various representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to take certain actions including, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, engaging in mergers and other fundamental changes, the making of investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends and other restricted payments, the prepayment of other indebtedness and the sale of assets. We are also required to comply with a minimum liquidity threshold, a maximum recurring revenue-based leverage ratio, and a maximum EBITDA-based leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also includes various events of default, including, among others: non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-default to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of security interests or invalidity of loan documents, certain ERISA events, unsatisfied or unstayed judgments and change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the administrative agent and the lenders may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable and take such other actions as set forth in the Credit Agreement and the related loan documents, including proceeding against the collateral securing such borrowings.

As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Convertible senior notes
On April 14, 2020, we issued $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (Notes), in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers exempt from registration under the Securities Act (Note Offering). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $222.5 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and offering expenses payable by us.
The Notes are governed by an indenture (Indenture) between us, as the issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes are our senior, unsecured obligations and accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.50% per year. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The Indenture does not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries.

We were not able to redeem the Notes prior to April 20, 2023. On or after April 20, 2023, we may redeem, for cash, all or a portion of the Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
125

HEALTH CATALYST, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Notes have an initial conversion rate of 32.6797 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.60 per share of our common stock). Following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, we will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such corporate event. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a corporate event that constitutes a “fundamental change” per the Indenture, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

On or after October 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at the conversion rate at any time. Upon conversion, holders will receive cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election. Based on the closing price of our common stock of $7.07 on December 31, 2024, the if-converted value of the Notes was less than their respective principal amounts. As of December 31, 2024, the Notes are classified as a current liability on our consolidated balance. We have the intent and ability to settle the Notes fully in cash upon the maturity date in April 2025.

Capped Calls

On April 8, 2020, concurrently with the pricing of the Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (Base Capped Calls) with certain option counterparties. In addition, in connection with the initial purchasers’ exercise in full of their option to purchase additional Notes, on April 9, 2020, we entered into additional capped call transactions (together with the Base Capped Calls, the Capped Calls) with each of the option counterparties. We used approximately $21.7 million of the net proceeds from the Note Offering to pay the cost of the Capped Calls and allocated issuance costs.
The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $42.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to the cap price. The Capped Calls are separate transactions that we entered into with the option counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes. As the Capped Call transactions are considered indexed to our own stock and are considered equity classified, they were recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost incurred in connection with the Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheets.
11. Restructuring Costs
2023 Restructuring Plan
During the quarter and year ended December 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). As part of the 2023 Restructuring Plan, we significantly reduced headcount throughout both our professional services and technology segments, including among our senior leadership team. The restructuring costs primarily related to severance and other team member costs from workforce reductions and impairment of a discontinued capitalized internal-use software project. We substantially completed all actions under the 2023 Restructuring Plan midway through 2024 and, as of December 31, 2024, the related restructuring liabilities were completely settled through cash outlays made to impacted team members.

As part of the 2022 Restructuring Plan, we significantly reduced investment in our life sciences business unit, which is generally part of the technology segment, and also reduced headcount throughout the Company, including among our senior leadership team. The restructuring costs primarily related to severance and other team member costs from workforce reductions, impairment of discontinued capitalized internal-use software projects, and other miscellaneous charges. We substantially completed all actions under the 2022 Restructuring Plan in early 2023 and, as of December 31, 2023, the related restructuring liabilities were completely settled through cash outlays made to impacted team members.

12. Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred stock
Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, and privileges thereof, including voting rights. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no shares of this preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Common stock
We had 500,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized, of which 64,043,799 and 58,530,880 shares were legally issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The shares legally issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, included zero and 235,389 shares, respectively, issued pursuant to acquisition agreements, which are subject to a restriction agreement and were unvested, and as such, for accounting purposes they were not considered to be outstanding common stock shares. Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the board of directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends. No dividends have been declared or paid on our common stock through December 31, 2024.
Share repurchase plan
In August 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $40.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock (Share Repurchase Plan). During the year ended December 31, 2024 there were no share repurchases. The total remaining authorization for future shares of common stock repurchases under our Share Repurchase Plan is $29.8 million as of December 31, 2024.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we incurred net losses and, therefore, the effect of our stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, convertible senior notes, and restricted shares were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of diluted net loss per share does not include the effect of the following potentially outstanding shares of common stock. The effects of these potentially outstanding shares were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when the effect would have been anti-dilutive:
As of December 31,

Common stock options 1,053,251  1,396,452  1,748,306

In connection with the offering of our convertible senior notes, we entered into Capped Calls with initial caps on the conversion price of $42.00 per share, which are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they would be anti-dilutive.
14. Stock-Based Compensation
In 2011, our board of directors adopted the Health Catalyst, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (2011 Plan), which provided for the direct award, sale of shares and granting of RSUs and options for our common stock to our directors, team members, or consultants. In connection with our IPO, our board of directors adopted the 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (2019 Plan). The 2019 Plan provides flexibility to our compensation committee to use various equity-based incentive awards as compensation tools to motivate our workforce, including the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock, RSUs, and stock appreciation rights to our directors, team members, or consultants.
We initially reserved 2,756,607 shares of our common stock (2,500,000 under the 2019 Plan and 256,607 shares under the 2011 Plan that were available immediately prior to the IPO registration date). The 2019 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2020, by 5% of the outstanding number of shares of our common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as determined by our compensation committee. As of January 1, 2024, there were an additional 2,926,544 shares reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan.
As of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, there were 23,644,211, 20,717,667, and 17,929,420 shares authorized for grant, respectively, and 4,288,278, 3,831,444, and 2,479,622 shares available for grant, respectively, under the 2019 Plan and 2011 Plan (collectively, the Stock Incentive Plan).

Stock options
All options were granted with an exercise price determined by the board of directors that was equal to the estimated fair value of our common stock at the date of grant, based on the information known on the date of grant. Subject to certain exceptions defined in the Stock Incentive Plan related to an employee’s termination, options generally expire on the tenth anniversary of the applicable grant date. Our standard stock-based awards vest solely on a service-based condition. For these awards, we recognize stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the awards and recognize that cost using the straight-line method over the requisite service period of the award. Awards that contain both service-based and performance conditions are recognized using the accelerated attribution method once the performance condition is probable of occurring. The service-based condition is generally a service period of four years.
The fair value of options, which vest in accordance with service schedules, was estimated on the date of grant or, when applicable, the modification date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We account for forfeitures as they occur. All standard stock options outstanding at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are expected to vest according to their specific schedules.

Restricted stock units (RSUs)
The service-based condition for restricted stock units (RSUs) is generally satisfied over four years with a cliff vesting period of one year and quarterly vesting thereafter. The following table sets forth the outstanding RSUs and related activity for the year ended December 31, 2024:            
Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested and outstanding at January 1, 2024
3,111,584  $ 19.16 
RSUs granted 2,790,828  8.51 
RSUs vested (2,013,009) 18.52 
RSUs forfeited (383,997) 15.16 
Unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2024
3,505,406  $ 11.49 
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we granted RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $8.51, $11.77, and $23.53, respectively, which represents the weighted-average closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The total grant date fair value of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $37.3 million, $51.3 million, and $59.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had $33.9 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.
Performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs)
2024 Executive PRSUs
During the year ended December 31, 2024, certain named executive officers and other leadership team members were granted executive PRSUs with a three-year measurement period that include service conditions, performance conditions, and market conditions.
The vesting of these PRSUs will be determined based on market-based targets for total shareholder return (TSR) achievement (weighted 25%) and financial performance targets for revenue growth rate achievement (weighted 25%) and Adjusted EBITDA margin achievement (weighted 50%).
These PRSUs may vest in an amount up to the amount granted, subject to satisfaction of the pre-established targets. The number of PRSUs that will vest for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 vesting periods will be calculated as follows: (i) the market/performance achievement for the applicable vesting period, multiplied by (ii) approximately 33.33% of the PRSUs for each of the 2024, 2025, and 2026 vesting periods, each rounded to the nearest whole share.
2023 Executive PRSUs
During the year ended December 31, 2023, certain named executive officers and other leadership team members were granted executive PRSUs with a measurement period of three years that include service conditions, performance conditions, and market conditions. The vesting of these PRSUs will be determined based on market-based targets for total shareholder return (TSR) achievement and financial performance targets for revenue growth rate achievement and Adjusted EBITDA margin achievement. Each of the three market and performance targets are weighted equally and these PRSUs may vest in an amount up to the amount granted, subject to satisfaction of the pre-established targets. The number of PRSUs that will vest for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 vesting periods will be calculated as follows: (i) the market/performance achievement for the applicable vesting period, multiplied by (ii) approximately 33.33% of the PRSUs for each of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 vesting periods, each rounded to the nearest whole share.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 we granted PRSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $9.45 and $12.42, and $25.46 respectively, which represents the weighted-average closing price of our common stock on the grant date for performance-based tranches and the estimated fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the market-based tranches. The total grant date fair value of PRSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $0.6 million, $4.8 million, and $13.0 million respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had $2.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PRSUs expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.5 years.
Employee stock purchase plan
In connection with our IPO in July 2019, our board of directors adopted the ESPP and a total of 750,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP will be increased on the first day of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2020 and each year thereafter until the ESPP terminates. The number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP shall be cumulatively increased by the least of (i) 750,000 shares, (ii) one percent of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, and (iii) such lesser number of shares of common stock as determined by the ESPP Administrator. As of January 1, 2024, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP increased by 585,308 shares.
The ESPP generally provides for six-month offering periods. The offering periods generally start on the first trading day after June 30 and December 31 of each year. The ESPP permits participants to elect to purchase shares of common stock through fixed percentage contributions from eligible compensation during each offering period, not to exceed 15% of the eligible compensation a participant receives during an offering period or accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair value of the stock (determined on the option grant dates(s)) for each calendar year. A participant may purchase the lowest of (i) a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing such participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the exercise date by the option price, (ii) 2,500 shares; or (iii) such other lesser maximum number of shares as shall have been established by the ESPP Administrator in advance of the offering period. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant will be used to purchase shares of common stock at the end of each offering period. The purchase price of the shares will be 85% of the lower of the fair value of common stock on the first trading day of each offering period or on the purchase date. Participants may end their participation at any time during an offering period and will be paid their accumulated contributions that have not been used to purchase shares of common stock. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The fair value of the purchase right for the ESPP option component is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022:
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022

Expected term (in years) 0.5 0.5 0.5
Risk-free interest rate
5.2%-5.4%
4.8%-5.5%
0.2%
Expected dividends
Expected volatility estimates were based on the historical volatility of our common stock as of the beginning of each respective offering period. The expected term of the ESPP option component was based on the six-month offering period and the risk-free rate represented the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds with maturity equal to the expected term as of the beginning of each respective offering period.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we issued 453,463 shares under the ESPP, with a weighted-average purchase price per share of $5.32. Total cash proceeds withheld from employees for the purchase of shares under the ESPP in 2024 were $2.4 million. As of December 31, 2024, 1,602,003 shares are reserved for future issuance under the ESPP.
Restricted shares issued as part of acquisitions
As part of the Twistle acquisition that closed on July 1, 2021, 67,939 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement and were considered a stock-based compensation arrangement subject to a restriction agreement. The vesting of those shares was subject to one year or, in some instances, eighteen months of continuous service and the restricted shares were released on the eighteen-month anniversary of the acquisition closing date.
As part of the KPI Ninja acquisition that closed on February 24, 2022, 356,919 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement and are considered a stock-based compensation arrangement subject to a restriction agreement. The vesting of those shares is subject to continuous service with 25% vesting upon each six-month anniversary of the acquisition close date.
As part of the ARMUS acquisition that closed on April 29, 2022, 235,330 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement and are considered a stock-based compensation arrangement subject to a restriction agreement. The vesting of those shares was subject to eighteen months of continuous service with cliff vesting upon the eighteen-month anniversary of the acquisition close date.
As part of the ERS acquisition that closed on October 2, 2023, 175,901 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement and are considered a stock-based compensation arrangement subject to a restriction agreement. The vesting of those shares was originally subject to eighteen months of continuous service with cliff vesting. However, due to workforce reductions made as part of the 2023 Restructuring Plan, the ERS restricted shares were fully vested in February 2024, resulting in an acceleration of the related stock-based compensation expense.
As of December 31, 2024, all of our previously issued restricted shares of Health Catalyst common stock granted in connection with the Twistle, KPI Ninja, ARMUS and ERS acquisitions are fully vested and there is no longer any related unrecognized compensation expense.

The income tax provision of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, consists of current and deferred taxes for U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The income tax benefit of $4.3 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022, is primarily related to the discrete deferred tax benefits attributable to the release of a portion of the domestic valuation allowance during the respective periods. The release of valuation allowance is attributable to the acquisitions of KPI Ninja and ARMUS in 2022, which resulted in deferred tax liabilities that, upon acquisition, allowed us to recognize certain deferred tax assets of $4.5 million.

Total deferred income tax liabilities (9,447) (7,392)
Net deferred income tax liabilities $ (155) $ (73)
We account for deferred taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on the ASC 740 more-likely-than-not realization threshold criterion. This assessment considers matters such as future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, legislative developments, and results of recent operations. The evaluation of the recoverability of the deferred tax assets requires that we weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified.
We have provided a valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets, absent differences related to intangible assets with indefinite lives, at December 31, 2024 and 2023, due to the uncertainty surrounding the future realization of such assets and the cumulative losses we have generated. Therefore, no benefit has been recognized in the financial statements for the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, apart from an immaterial deferred tax liability as noted previously. The net deferred income tax liability balance is recorded under Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the valuation allowance increased by $42.3 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

136

HEALTH CATALYST, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $680.7 million of consolidated federal net operating loss carryforwards and $571.6 million of apportioned state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income, respectively. If unused, the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2032 and 2025, respectively. We have federal research and development credit carryforwards of $25.5 million and state research and development credit carryforwards of $10.9 million, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2032 and 2025, respectively. To the extent we do not utilize our carryforwards within the applicable statutory carryforward periods, either because of ownership changes and limitations under Code Sections 382 and 383 and similar state laws or the lack of sufficient taxable income, the carryforwards will expire unused.
Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Code, and similar state provisions. The Company most recently performed a detailed analysis in December 2021 to determine whether an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code had occurred or will occur that resulted in limitations pursuant to Section 382 and Section 383 due to pre-acquisition changes in ownership identified. It is possible that additional limitations may arise in future years due to future changes in the ownership of the Company.
We file federal and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. With few exceptions, including unutilized net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards, we are no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2021 and 2020, respectively.
We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Beginning balance $ 6,818  $ 6,821  $ 6,848 
Decrease in unrecognized tax benefits taken in prior years —  (3) (27)
Ending balance $ 6,818  $ 6,818  $ 6,821 
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is zero due to the valuation allowance. We do not anticipate material changes in the total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. Our policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. However, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have not accrued interest and penalties because we have net operating loss carryforwards.
16. Contingencies
Litigation
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
We are involved in legal proceedings from time to time that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such routine claims and lawsuits are not significant, and we do not expect them to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, except as noted below. We were party to the proceedings set forth below.
On December 21, 2020, Pascal Metrics, Inc. (Pascal Metrics) filed a complaint against the Company in the Delaware Chancery Court (as amended, Complaint) alleging that the Company misappropriated alleged trade secrets of Pascal Metrics and seeking monetary damages. The Complaint focuses upon Patient Safety Monitor. On June 15, 2023, we entered into a settlement and mutual release agreement (Settlement Agreement) with Pascal Metrics and agreed to pay $18.8 million without admission of any wrongdoing, resolving the litigation amongst the parties. The Settlement Agreement provided us with a broad intellectual property license of the alleged trade secrets that were the subject matter of the Complaint. The Complaint was dismissed with prejudice on June 20, 2023 and the settlement amount was paid on June 27, 2023. The litigation charges were recorded as part of general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. There were no litigation charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

17. Contract Balances and Performance Obligations
Contract balances
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the unbilled accounts receivable included in accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheets was $11.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total of current and non-current deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets was $53.5 million and $55.8 million, respectively. Deferred revenue includes advance client payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 approximately $52.0 million (17%), $52.9 million (18%), and $55.9 million (20%), respectively, of the revenue recognized was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
Most of our technology and professional services contracts have a three or five-year term, of which many are terminable after one year upon 90 days’ notice. For arrangements that do not allow the client to cancel within one year or less, we expect to recognize $277.4 million of revenue on unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2024. We expect to recognize approximately 65% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.
18. Related Parties
We have entered into arrangements with a client, Carle Health, and a member of the client’s executive leadership team began serving on our board of directors effective July 1, 2023 and currently serves on our board of directors. We recognized revenue from this related party of $16.7 million and $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, after the related party relationship commenced. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had receivables from this related party of $2.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and deferred revenue with this related party of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
We have revenue arrangements with clients that were also our investors. None of these clients hold a significant amount of ownership in our equity interests.
19. Employee Benefit Plans
We have a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering eligible employees. Our contributions were $5.4 million, $5.7 million, and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we matched 100% of the first 4% of an employees’ 401(k) plan contributions.
20. Segments
We operate our business in two operating segments that also represent our reportable segments. Our business is organized based on our technology offerings and professional services. Accordingly, our segments are:
•Technology - Our technology segment (Technology) includes our data platform, analytics applications and support services and generates revenues primarily from contracts that are cloud-based subscription arrangements, time-based license arrangements, and maintenance and support fees; and
•Professional Services - Our professional services segment (Professional Services) is generally the combination of analytics, implementation, strategic advisory, outsource, and improvement services to deliver expertise to our clients to more fully configure and utilize the benefits of our Technology offerings.
Revenues and cost of revenues generally are directly attributed to our segments. All segment revenues are from our external clients. Asset and other balance sheet information at the segment level is not reported to our CODM.
The CODM is regularly provided with and reviews revenue and Adjusted Gross Profit by operating segment. The CODM uses Adjusted Gross Profit as the primary measure of our profit used to assess performance and allocate resources between the two operating segments. Adjusted Cost of Revenue is a significant segment expense that is easily computable by subtracting segment Adjusted Gross Profit from segment revenue.

21. Subsequent Events
Upfront Acquisition
On January 22, 2025, we acquired Upfront Healthcare Services, Inc. (“Upfront”), a next-generation patient engagement platform provider, for preliminary consideration of approximately $41.5 million in cash and $32.1 million of our common stock, plus a potential recurring revenue-based earn-out of up to $33.4 million that, if achieved, would be paid 62.5% in common stock and 37.5% in cash. Given the recent timing of the closing of this business combination, we are in the process of identifying and measuring the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We plan to disclose the preliminary purchase price allocation estimates and other related information in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Our management, including the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 using the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on the results of this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is provided in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by the three months ended December 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent limitations on effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Due to inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

respective Closing Payment Pro Rata Share and (z) paid in the manner set forth on Schedule 2.4(f)(ii).
(iii)Post-Closing Payments relating to any Earn-Out Amount shall be (x) comprised (subject to the proviso to this clause (ii)) 37.5% of cash and 62.5% of shares of Parent Common Stock valued at the Reference Price (“Earn-Out Payment Parent Stock”), (y) allocated amongst the applicable Company Securityholders in the manner provided for in Section 2.4(d) above and (z) paid in the manner set forth on Schedule 2.4(f)(iii); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the aggregate number of shares of (A) Closing Payment Parent Stock issued pursuant to Section 2.4(c) hereof plus (B) Earn-Out Payment Parent Stock issued pursuant to this Section 2.4(f)(iii) exceed the Parent Stock Ceiling. In the event Parent and the Representative determine in good faith, following the final determination of the Final Earn-Out Amount (and based on the Representative’s Updated Distribution Waterfall in respect of the payment of the Earn-Out Amount), that the number of shares of Earn-Out Payment Parent Stock to be issued under the immediately prior sentence will cause the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the Parent Stock Ceiling, the portion of Parent Common Stock issued in connection with the payment of the Earn-Out Amount will be reduced so as to respect the Parent Stock Ceiling and the portion of cash payable in connection with the Earn-Out Amount will be correspondingly increased.
(iv)With respect to any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.4(f), unless a Company Securityholder provides updated payment delivery instructions to the Exchange Agent, each delivery of any portion of such payment to a particular Company Securityholder shall be effected in accordance with the payment delivery instructions set forth in such Person’s Letter of Transmittal.
(i)Fractional Shares; Payments. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Mergers. Any Company Securityholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (including with respect to any Earn-Out Amount) shall instead be entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such fraction by (ii) the Reference Price, rounded to the nearest whole cent. All payments to be made by Parent hereunder shall be without interest.
(j)Employer Portion of Payroll Taxes on Merger Consideration and Compensation Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any payment of (i) Merger Consideration (including the Closing Payment, any Post-Closing Payment and any releases of all or any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Indemnification Escrow Fund and/or the Representative Fund) that is compensatory in nature, (ii) any Closing Employee Payment, or (iii) any payment of any Sale Bonus Payment hereunder is made to a Person that is subject to Tax withholding, the Company Securityholders shall bear the employer portion of any payroll and related Taxes due in connection with such payments (the “Employer Payroll Taxes”). Upon any such payment, the aggregate amount of applicable Employer Payroll Taxes shall be funded to the Post-Closing Payroll Account and the applicable payment to the Company Securityholders associated with such Tax obligation (if any) shall be reduced accordingly.
Section 2.5Escrow Funds; Representative Fund.
(a)Escrows. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent (i) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, to be held in trust as an escrow fund (such amount, together with any interest, dividends, gains and other income thereon, the “Adjustment Escrow Fund”), and (ii) the Indemnification Escrow Amount, to be held in trust as an escrow fund (such amount, together with any interest, dividends, gains and other income thereon, the “Indemnification Escrow Fund”), in each case which amounts shall not become payable to the Company Securityholders as of the Closing Date but shall instead be paid in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, this Agreement and pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Escrow Agreement”).

4898-3834-0359.9



(b)Representative Fund. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit the Representative Fund Amount with the Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Representative at least four (4) days prior to the Closing Date, which shall be held by the Representative in a separate client account (the “Representative Fund”) and shall be utilized and administered by the Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 hereof.
Section 2.6Closing Exchange.
(a)Promptly after the Effective Time or any event causing a Post-Closing Payment or the release of all or any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Indemnification Escrow Fund and/or the Representative Fund, Parent (or the Representative, in connection with a release of cash from the Representative Fund) shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, for the benefit of the Company Securityholders:
(i)with Wilmington Trust, N.A. or such other Person as Parent may select (the “Exchange Agent”), the cash consideration payable to the Company Securityholders (other than holders of Closing In The Money Options that are subject to Tax withholding) and the holders of Company Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 2.4(c), to be held by the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of the exchange agent agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) to be executed at or prior to the Closing by Parent and the Exchange Agent;
(ii)in the Post-Closing Payroll Account, the cash consideration payable to holders of Closing In The Money Options that are subject to Tax withholding, to be administered by Parent or the Surviving Entity and the applicable payroll processor in accordance with Section 2.4 above and applicable Laws;
(iii)with respect to the Closing Payment only, with the Escrow Agent, the portion of the Closing Payment comprised of Parent Common Shares payable to FASC, the Sale Bonus Recipients and the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 2.4(c), to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Any Parent Common Shares that are deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 2.6(a)(iii) shall be treated by Parent and its Affiliates as issued and outstanding capital stock of Parent, and shall be held by the Escrow Agent as a book position registered in the name Wilmington Trust, N.A., as Escrow Agent FBO Traverse Beneficiaries, in trust for the account and benefit of FASC, the Sale Bonus Recipients and the applicable Company Securityholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not so deposit with the Escrow Agent any Parent Common Shares retained by Parent pursuant to the terms of any Restriction Agreement, which Parent Common Shares shall be paid out (if at all) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Restriction Agreement.
(b)The Company shall deliver (which may be done electronically) as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Agreement Date, to each Person who is a holder of Company Convertible Notes and/or a Company Securityholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto Exhibit G (a “Letter of Transmittal”), together with the Information Statement, a Support Agreement (with respect to Company Securityholders only), an Investor Questionnaire (with respect to Company Securityholders only) and all other documents, information and agreements that such Person will need to review, complete, execute and/or deliver in connection with the Mergers. Payments of Merger Consideration (including the Closing Payment, any Post-Closing Payment and/or any releases of all or any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Indemnification Escrow Fund and/or the Representative Fund (if any)) shall be made only to those Persons who are entitled to receive such payments under Section 2.4 hereof and who deliver (i) a duly completed and validly executed Investor Questionnaire (with respect to Persons who are to receive Merger Consideration in the form of Parent Common Stock only), (ii) a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal, and (iii) a duly completed and validly executed IRS Form W-9 from each such Person that is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and applicable IRS Form W-8 from each such Person that is not a “United States Person” (together with any other documents as Parent shall reasonably require) (such delivery, the “Payment Conditions”). Parent shall have no obligation to deliver, or cause to be delivered, any Merger Consideration to (w) any holder of Company Convertible Notes, (x) FASC, (y) any Sale Bonus Recipient or (z) any particular Company
12
4898-3834-0359.9



Securityholder until such Person has satisfied the Payment Conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an applicable Person has not returned to the Company and Parent a fully executed and completed Investor Questionnaire on or before the IQ Cut-Off Time, such Person will be treated as an Unaccredited Investor for purposes of the calculation, payment and disbursement of the Closing Payment and any Earn-Out Amount (as the case may be).
(c)With respect to any Person eligible to receive payments or consideration in connection with the Mergers pursuant to Section 2.4 above that has not satisfied the applicable Payment Conditions on or prior to the Effective Time, an event causing a Post-Closing Payment or the release of all or any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Indemnification Escrow Fund and/or the Representative Fund, as applicable, then any portion of such payment or consideration that would otherwise be paid to such Person shall be held by Parent, the Exchange Agent or the Escrow Agent (as applicable), without interest, until such Person satisfies the applicable Payment Conditions, and Parent shall, promptly after the Payment Conditions are satisfied, and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of the Payment Conditions being satisfied, pay to such Person all payments or consideration payable to such Person pursuant to Section 2.4 and shall instruct and cause the Exchange Agent and the Escrow Agent to pay to such Person all payments or consideration payable to such Person pursuant to Section 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the Escrow Agent, the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Entity, or any of their respective Affiliates, be liable to any Person for any amount properly (i) paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law or (ii) disbursed or released upon the expiration of the Escrow Agreement or the Exchange Agent Agreement.
(d)From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Stock, Company Options, Company Warrants or Company Convertible Notes that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be deemed to be outstanding and the Company Securityholders shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law.
(e)At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of any Company Stock that was issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be made.
Section 2.7Dissenting Shares. If, in connection with the First Merger, any holder of Company Stock shall have demanded and perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, none of such Dissenting Shares shall be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the holder of such Dissenting Shares as provided in this Agreement, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the DGCL). In the event that any holder of Company Stock fails to make an effective demand for payment or fails to perfect his, her or its appraisal rights as to his, her or its shares of Company Stock or any Dissenting Shares shall otherwise lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(iii) in respect of such shares as if such shares had never been Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall deliver to the holder thereof, following the satisfaction of the Payment Conditions, the Merger Consideration to which such holder of Company Stock would have been entitled under this Agreement (at the time(s) and in the form(s) set forth in this Agreement) with respect to such shares. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt written notice (and in no event more than twenty-four (24) hour notice) of (i) any demand received by the Company for payment for Dissenting Shares in accordance with the DGCL, and (ii) any withdrawals of any such demand and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company agrees that, except with Parent’s prior written consent, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment in connection with the exercise of appraisal rights.
Section 2.8Tax Withholding. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent and/or the Escrow Agent (as applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and
13
4898-3834-0359.9



withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the Merger Consideration or any other payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (including any Post-Closing Payment or any release of all or any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Indemnification Escrow Fund and/or the Representative Fund), the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment and, to the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.
Section 2.9Estimated Closing Statement; Post Closing Adjustment.
(a)At least four (4) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent the Estimated Closing Statement. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared by the Company in good faith in accordance with the Accounting Principles and, to the extent relating to Net Working Capital, in a manner consistent with the calculation of Net Working Capital set forth on Exhibit H hereto, and shall be certified as such by the Company’s chief executive officer. The Company shall provide Parent and its accounting and financial staff, auditors and advisors reasonable access to the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries (and their respective accounting and financial staff and advisors) in connection with Parent’s review thereof. The Company shall consider in good faith changes requested by Parent to the Estimated Closing Statement, and shall make such modifications thereto as are necessary to update the information thereon and to take into account comments thereto provided by Parent. To the extent that the Estimated Closing Statement (after giving effect to any changes or modifications thereto as contemplated by the preceding sentence) is reasonably satisfactory to Parent, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Estimated Unpaid Transaction Expenses, the Estimated Pre-Closing Taxes, the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, the Estimated Net Working Capital (and, based thereon, the Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus or the Estimated Net Working Capital Shortfall), the Estimated Merger Consideration and the Closing Payment as applicable, set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement (as so changed or modified) shall be used for purposes of calculating the Base Cash Consideration and the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount. Neither any comments or changes proposed by Parent to the Estimated Closing Statement nor Parent’s acceptance of the Estimated Closing Statement for purposes of satisfying the closing condition in Section 7.2(p) shall be deemed to be an agreement by Parent that the Estimated Closing Statement is accurate or complete and shall not affect, in any manner whatsoever, Parent’s rights pursuant to this Section 2.9.
(b)Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Parent Closing Statement”), which Parent Closing Statement shall be prepared by Parent in good faith in accordance with the Accounting Principles and, to the extent relating to Net Working Capital, in a manner consistent with the calculation of Net Working Capital set forth on Exhibit H hereto, and shall be certified by an executive officer of Parent. The Parent Closing Statement shall set forth Parent’s calculation of the following: (i) the Closing Indebtedness Amount; (ii) the Unpaid Transaction Expenses; (iii) the Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes; (iv) the Closing Cash Amount; (v) the Net Working Capital and, based thereon, the Net Working Capital Surplus or the Net Working Capital Shortfall, as applicable; and, based on the foregoing, Parent’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount (the “Parent Closing Adjustment Amount”).
(c)If the Representative wishes to object to any information contained on the Parent Closing Statement or Parent’s calculation of the Parent Closing Adjustment Amount, the Representative shall deliver to Parent, within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Parent Closing Statement by Parent, a written notice (the “Disputed Items Notice”) specifying the items to which the Representative objects and the basis therefor in reasonable detail and setting forth the Representative’s proposed modifications to the Parent Closing Statement and the Representative’s proposed Closing Adjustment Amount. If the Representative does not deliver a Disputed Items Notice to Parent within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Parent Closing Statement, the Parent Closing Adjustment Amount set forth in the Parent Closing Statement will be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.9.
(d)If the Representative timely delivers a Disputed Items Notice in accordance with Section 2.9(c), the Representative and Parent will attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed items set
14
4898-3834-0359.9



forth thereon (the “Agreed Adjustments”). If the Representative and Parent resolve some (but not all) of the disputed items, the agreed upon portions of the Parent Closing Statement and the Parent Closing Adjustment Amount related thereto, as modified to give effect to the Agreed Adjustments, will be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.9. If the Representative and Parent resolve all of the disputed items, the Parent Closing Adjustment Amount, as modified to give effect to the Agreed Adjustments, will be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.9.
(e)If the Representative and Parent are unable to agree upon the resolution of all disputed items within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Disputed Items Notice, the Representative and Parent will engage Deloitte or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, to an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Representative and Parent (in either case, the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve the disputed items specified in the Disputed Items Notice that the Representative and Parent were not able to resolve prior to such engagement (the “Unresolved Disputed Items”). The Accounting Firm shall act as arbiter, shall issue a final and binding resolution with respect to only Unresolved Disputed Items and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value claimed for such item by either party or smaller than the smallest value claimed for such item by either party. The Accounting Firm will resolve the Unresolved Disputed Items in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, if an Unresolved Disputed Item relates to Net Working Capital, in a manner consistent with the calculation of Net Working Capital set forth on Exhibit H). The determination of the Accounting Firm as to the Unresolved Disputed Items will be made within sixty (60) days after being selected and will be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.9. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be borne by the Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders from the Representative Fund or, if the Representative Fund has been fully depleted, from the Company Securityholders on a joint and several basis), on the one hand, and Parent, on the other, in inverse proportion as each party may prevail (based on the disputed items as resolved by the Accounting Firm as compared to the disputed items proposed by such party), as determined by the Accounting Firm, or, if the Accounting Firm determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees, costs and expenses will be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by the Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders from the Representative Fund or, if the Representative Fund has been fully depleted, from the Company Securityholders on a joint and several basis) and fifty percent (50%) by Parent. The Parent Closing Adjustment Amount, after giving effect to any Agreed Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.9(d) and/or the resolution of Unresolved Disputed Items by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.9(e), as and if applicable, shall be referred to herein as the “Final Closing Adjustment Amount.”
(f)In the event that the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Closing Adjustment Amount (the amount of such excess, the “Closing Adjustment Overpayment”), the Closing Adjustment Overpayment shall be owed to Parent, and Parent shall be entitled to recover an amount equal to the Closing Adjustment Overpayment from the Adjustment Escrow Fund (subject to the final sentence of this clause (f)). The Representative and Parent shall execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Parent an amount equal to the Closing Adjustment Overpayment from the Adjustment Escrow Fund within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Amount. Parent’s sole source of recovery for any Closing Adjustment Overpayment shall be the Adjustment Escrow Fund, and the aggregate amount that Parent may recover for any Closing Adjustment Overpayment is the lesser of (i) the Closing Adjustment Overpayment or (ii) the Adjustment Escrow Amount.
(g)In the event that the Final Closing Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount (the amount of such excess, the “Closing Adjustment Underpayment”), the Closing Adjustment Underpayment shall be owed to the Company Securityholders in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) hereof (subject to the final sentence of this clause (g)). In such case, Parent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the later to occur of (x) the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Amount or (y) delivery by the Representative of the Updated Distribution Waterfall in respect of the Closing Adjustment Underpayment, pay or cause to be paid to the Company Securityholders (through the Exchange Agent or the Post-Closing Payroll Account, as applicable) an aggregate amount of cash equal to such Closing Adjustment Underpayment in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4(f)(ii); provided, however that the aggregate amount that the Company Securityholders may recover for any Closing
15
4898-3834-0359.9



Adjustment Underpayment is the lesser of (i) the Closing Adjustment Underpayment or (ii) the Adjustment Escrow Amount.
(h)In the event that the amount of any Closing Adjustment Overpayment does not exceed the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of Final Closing Adjustment Amount, the Representative and Parent shall execute a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Fund (less any Closing Adjustment Overpayment) for payment to the Company Securityholders in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) hereof (an “Adjustment Escrow Release”). In such case, Parent shall within ten (10) Business Days following the later to occur of (x) such Adjustment Escrow Release by the Escrow Agent or (y) delivery by the Representative of the Updated Distribution Waterfall in respect of the Adjustment Escrow Release, pay or cause to be paid to each Company Securityholder (through the Exchange Agent or the Post-Closing Payroll Account, as applicable) the portion of the Adjustment Escrow Release to which he, she or it is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(f)(ii).
(i)With respect to this Section 2.9, each party hereto shall make available to the other parties and, if applicable, the Accounting Firm, such books and records (in electronic format, if applicable), personnel and other information as any of the foregoing may reasonably request to prepare and review the Estimated Closing Statement (and the various amounts set forth therein), the Parent Closing Statement (and the various amounts set forth therein) or any Unresolved Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm.
Section 2.10Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Effective Time, any of the parties hereto reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary to consummate the Mergers or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, then the Company, the Subsidiaries, Parent, the Surviving Entity, and the Company Securityholders and their respective officers, directors and managers shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to consummate the Mergers and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
Section 2.11Tax Consequences. The Mergers are intended to be treated as a single, integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to constitute, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and Income Tax Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Provided that the Restricted Owners shall have complied with their obligations under the final sentence of Section 7.2(l), the parties shall not (a) knowingly take any action (or knowingly fail to take any action) if such action (or failure) would be reasonably likely to cause the Mergers (taken together) to fail to so qualify, or (b) take a reporting position that is inconsistent with that intention, unless otherwise required following a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. None of the parties to this Agreement makes any representation regarding whether the Mergers will so qualify. The Company acknowledges that the Company and the Company Securityholders are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions and agreements contemplated hereby.
Section 2.12Earn-Out.
(a)Earn-Out Amount. The Company Securityholders shall have a contingent right to receive additional consideration, with an aggregate value equal to the Earn-Out Amount, which shall be payable, if at all, upon the achievement of the applicable measurements and in the amounts determined pursuant to Schedule 2.12 (or as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.12). In the event that the Earn-Out Amount is to be paid, each Company Securityholder will be entitled to receive his, her or its portion of such payment as is allocated in accordance with Section 2.4(d) above, subject to, and paid in accordance with, Section 2.12(c). No Company Securityholder shall be entitled to receive, and shall not receive, any portion of the Earn-Out Amount unless and until, and only to the extent, the requirements specified for the payment thereof as set forth on Schedule 2.12 are achieved as set forth thereon (or as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.12).
16
4898-3834-0359.9



(b)Determination of Earn-Out Amount.
(i)Within seventy-five (75) days after the Earn-Out Measurement Date, Parent shall deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Earn-Out Statement”), executed by Parent, setting forth Parent’s good faith calculation of the Earn-Out Amount.
(ii)If the Representative wishes to object to any information contained in the Earn-Out Statement, the Representative shall deliver to Parent, within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Earn-Out Statement by Parent, a written notice (the “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”) specifying the items to which the Representative objects and the basis therefor in reasonable detail and setting forth the Representative’s proposed modifications to the Earn-Out Statement. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to, provide the Representative and its accounting and financial staff, auditors and advisors reasonable access to the books and records of the Surviving Entity and its and their accounting and financial staff, auditors and advisors in connection with the Representative’s review thereof. If the Representative does not deliver the Earn-Out Dispute Notice to Parent within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Earn-Out Statement, Parent’s calculation of the Earn-Out Amount will be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.12.
(iii)If the Representative timely delivers the Earn-Out Dispute Notice in accordance with Section 2.12(b)(ii), the Representative and Parent will attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed items set forth thereon (the “Agreed Earn-Out Adjustments”). If the Representative and Parent resolve some (but not all) of the disputed items, the agreed upon portions of the Earn-Out Statement and the Earn-Out Amount related thereto, as modified to give effect to the Agreed Earn-Out Adjustments, will be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.12. If the Representative and Parent resolve all of the disputed items, the Earn-Out Statement and the Earn-Out Amount, as modified to give effect to the Agreed Earn-Out Adjustments, will be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.12.
(iv)If the Representative and Parent are unable to agree upon the resolution of all disputed items within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Earn-Out Dispute Notice, the Representative and Parent will engage the Accounting Firm or, if such firm is unable or willing to act, to an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Representative and Parent to resolve the disputed items specified in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice that the Representative and Parent were not able to resolve prior to such engagement (the “Unresolved Earn-Out Disputed Items”). The Accounting Firm shall act as an arbiter, shall issue a final and binding resolution with respect to only Unresolved Earn-Out Disputed Items and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value claimed for such item by either party or smaller than the smallest value claimed for such item by either party. The determination of the Accounting Firm as to the Unresolved Earn-Out Disputed Items will be made within sixty (60) days after being selected, will be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.12, and will be used for purposes of calculating the Earn-Out Amount. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be borne by the Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders from the Representative Fund or, if the Representative Fund has been fully depleted, from the Company Securityholders on a joint and several basis), on the one hand, and Parent, on the other, in inverse proportion as each party may prevail (based on the disputed items as resolved by the Accounting Firm as compared to the disputed items proposed by such party), as determined by the Accounting Firm, or, if the Accounting Firm determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees, costs and expenses will be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by the Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders from the Representative Fund or, if the Representative Fund has been fully depleted, from the Company Securityholders on a joint and several basis) and fifty percent (50%) by Parent. The Earn-Out Statement, and the Earn-Out Amount set forth therein, after giving effect to any Agreed Earn-Out Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(iii) and/or the resolution of Unresolved Earn-Out Disputed Items by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.12(b)(iv), as and if applicable, shall be referred to herein as the “Final Earn-Out Amount.”
17
4898-3834-0359.9



(c)Payment of Earn-Out Amount. Following the final determination of the Final Earn-Out Amount in accordance with Section 2.12(b) above, Parent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the later to occur of (x) the determination of the Final Earn-Out or (y) delivery by the Representative of the Updated Distribution Waterfall in respect of the Final Earn-Out Amount, pay or cause to be paid the Earn-Out Amount as follows: (i) to the Sale Bonus Recipients (in the manner and form set forth on Schedule 2.4(f)(iii)) an aggregate amount equal to the portion of the Earn-Out Amount to which the Sale Bonus Recipients are entitled pursuant to their respective Sale Bonus Agreements (less applicable withholding taxes); (ii) to FASC (in the manner and form set forth on Schedule 2.4(f)(iii)) an aggregate amount equal to the portion of the Earn-Out Amount to which FASC is entitled pursuant to its engagement letter with the Company; and (iii) the balance to the Company Securityholders in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(iii) above, which Earn-Out Amount shall be allocated amongst such Company Securityholders in accordance with Section 2.4(d) and Section 2.4(f)(iii) above. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the portion of the Earn-Out Amount available for distribution to the Company Securityholders pursuant to clause (iii) hereof shall be reduced by the portion of the Earn-Out Amount that is paid to the Sale Bonus Recipients and FASC pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) hereof.
(d)Earn-Out Limitations and Conditions. The contingent right of each Company Securityholder to receive his, her or its allocable portion of the Earn-Out Amount (if any), (i) is solely a contractual right and is not a security for purposes of any federal or state securities Laws; (ii) will not be represented by any form of certificate or separate instrument; (iii) does not represent an ownership interest in Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates and will not entitle any Company Securityholder to any dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation rights, preemptive rights or other rights common to any holder of securities; (iv) is not redeemable; and (v) may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, gifted, conveyed or otherwise disposed of except by operation of law, pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or a transfer by a Company Securityholder to a trust established for estate planning purposes and any transfer in violation thereof shall be null and void. Except with respect to the common law duty of good faith and fair dealing, the contingent right of the Company Securityholders to receive the Earn-Out Amount (if any) does not create any express or implied fiduciary or special relationship among Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective Affiliates and any Company Securityholder or create any express or implied fiduciary, special or other duties on the part of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective Affiliates to any Person.
(e)Right to Conduct Business.

All Taxes due and payable by the India Subsidiary have been paid.

Section 5.7Certain Employee Benefits Matters.
(a)The following provisions apply to the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries:
(i)During the Executory Period, Parent (or one of Parent’s designated Affiliates) shall offer employment (effective as of the Effective Time) to those employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries (other than the India Subsidiary) as are determined by Parent in its sole discretion (the “Offered Employees”). Employees who will not be designated as Offered Employees are set forth on Schedule 5.7(a)(i) attached hereto. During the Executory Period, Parent (or one of Parent’s designated Affiliates) shall issue Employment Documents to each Offered Employee (other than the Key Employees, who shall have executed and delivered Employment Documents concurrently with the execution of this Agreement), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts in assisting Parent (or one of Parent’s designated Affiliates) to secure fully completed and executed Employment Documents (which Employment Documents shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing) from each Offered Employee, including, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Contract, by providing Parent necessary information relating to any such individual’s employment arrangement with the Company. During the Executory Period, the Company shall provide Parent (or one of Parent’s designated Affiliates) with access to and information about the employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in order to facilitate Parent’s offers of employment and enrollment in benefit plans of Parent (or one of Parent’s designated Affiliates) that are conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing.
(ii)On the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate the employment of each employee of the Company and shall pay such employee’s final wages (through Insperity) in accordance with applicable Laws.
(iii)The Company shall use (and the Company Securityholders shall cause the Company to use) its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each such terminated employee who (A) is not an Offered Employee, as set forth on Schedule 5.7(a)(i) or (B) is an Offered Employee but who does not accept such offer of employment from Parent (or Parent’s designated Affiliate) (such Offered Employee, a “Declining Employee”) delivers, prior to the Closing, a general release of claims in favor of Parent, the Company and its Affiliates, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent; provided further that the final wages and pre-Closing bonus amounts due and payable with respect to each such employee, as well as fifty percent (50%) of the severance or separation pay required to secure such general release from each such employee, shall constitute a Closing Employee Payment and a Transaction Expense hereunder.
(iv)Those Offered Employees set forth on Schedule 5.7(a)(iv) (the “Short Term Hires”) shall receive offers of employment from Parent (or one of Parent’s designated Affiliates) through June 30, 2025. If a Short-Term Hire does not accept such offer of employment, he or she shall be deemed to be a Declining Employee per clause (iii) above. Any Short Term Hire that accepts such offer of employment will be eligible to receive a retention bonus, in the amount set forth on Schedule 5.7(a)(iv), if he or she remains employed by Parent (or one of Parent’s designated Affiliates) as of June 30, 2025 and executes and delivers a general release of claims in favor of Parent, the Company and its Affiliates, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent upon separation. Fifty percent (50%) of the retention bonus amount required to secure such general release from such employee shall constitute a Closing Employee Payment and a Transaction Expense hereunder.
(b)For purposes of any benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained for benefit of any Offered Employees who accept the offer of employment from Parent (or Parent’s designated Affiliate) in subparagraph (a) above, each such employee shall receive credit for service with the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date (except where doing so would cause a duplication of benefits), to the extent such service is reflected in records of the Company or the Subsidiaries and recognized under the corresponding employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, for eligibility to participate and vesting and, but only with respect to calculation of the amount of any
57
4898-3834-0359.9



severance payments, vacation, sick and paid time off, for benefit accrual purposes. Parent shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) cause any and all pre-existing conditions (or actively at work or similar limitations), eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any group health plans to be waived with respect to such employees and their eligible dependents and (y) provide such employees with credit for any co-payments, deductibles, and offsets (or similar payments) made during the plan year to the extent reflected in records of the Company or any Subsidiary for the purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket, or similar requirements under any employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements in which they are eligible to participate after the Closing Date.
(c)The Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, instruct and arrange with the relevant provider to spin-off and terminate the Subsidiary’s portion of, and participation in, the professional employer 401(k) Plan in which such Subsidiary participates, effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and with respect to any other Company Benefit Arrangements (including, without limitation, any Company Benefit Arrangement intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 125 and the Company Equity Plan) terminate or provide a notice of withdrawal from participation with respect to any plan sponsored by a professional employer organization, any such termination or withdrawal to be effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date or such other date as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Parent, (each a “Terminated Benefit Plan”) (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that any such 401(k) Plan or other Company Benefit Arrangement shall not be terminated). The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Terminated Benefit Plan(s) have been terminated in the manner provided in the preceding sentence by appropriate actions pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or any applicable committee thereof. The manner, form and substance of such actions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but such review and approval shall not diminish the Company’s obligation pursuant to the preceding sentences to terminate (or cause the termination of) such Company Benefit Arrangements effectively.

(h)The rights to indemnification set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time (whether before or after the Agreement Date or the Closing Date), with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation or the existence of facts and circumstances that provide the basis for a Claim hereunder.

(ii)any Losses payable to a Parent Indemnified Party in respect of a claim for indemnification brought solely pursuant to Section 9.2(a) that relates to an inaccuracy or breach of a Company Fundamental Representation shall (A) first, be recoverable from the Indemnification Escrow Fund to the extent of available funds therein (in which case the Representative and Parent shall execute a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release such amount to the Parent Indemnified Party(ies) from the Indemnification Escrow Fund (or, if such amount exceeds the amounts then remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the entire remaining Indemnification Escrow Fund)), (B) second, be recoverable from the R&W Policy in accordance with the terms thereof and (C) thereafter, be recoverable from the Company Securityholders (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9); and

If any Claim is unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed as of the Indemnification Escrow Expiration Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain possession and custody of the portion of the Indemnification Escrow Fund with a value that equals the total maximum amount of Losses then being claimed by Parent Indemnified Parties in all such unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims.

It is acknowledged that Parent is entering into the R&W Policy and that, in connection therewith, Parent Indemnified Parties may make claims for the same Loss or series of related Losses under both this Article 9 and the R&W Policy.

The Representative shall be authorized to engage the Company’s historical tax preparer to prepare the Pre-Closing Tax Returns; provided, however, that for each Pre-Closing Tax Return, the Representative shall furnish, no later than forty-five (45) days (or, in the case of a Tax Return that is not an income Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practicable) prior to the anticipated filing date for such Pre-Closing Tax Returns, a draft to Parent of all such Pre-Closing Tax Returns (including copies of all work papers related thereto) and such other information regarding such Pre-Closing Tax Returns as may be reasonably requested by Parent for Parent’s review and comment, and the Representative shall not cause to be filed such Pre-Closing Tax Returns without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and custom of the Company except as otherwise required by Law.

The Representative shall have the right to review and comment, and Parent shall not file such Post-Closing Tax Returns without the prior written consent of Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(c)Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of the payment of Taxes on any Tax Returns which Parent has the responsibility to cause to be filed pursuant to Section 10.1(b), without duplication of, or prejudice to, the Parent Indemnified Parties’ rights to indemnification under Section 9.2, Parent shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnification Escrow Fund an amount with a value equal to the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes, to the extent not expressly taken into account in the calculation of the Base Cash Consideration or in the Final Closing Adjustment Amount, as jointly determined by Parent and the Representative reasonably and in good faith, due in respect of such Tax Returns, and Parent and the Representative will promptly deliver written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver such amounts to Parent.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent that a provision of this Section 10.3 directly conflicts with any provision of Article 9, this Section 10.3 shall govern.
(b)Parent shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Claim of the Company or any Subsidiary. To the extent a Tax Claim relates to Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Parent shall (i) keep the Representative reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis, (ii) provide to the Representative copies of any and all material correspondence from any Governmental Authority related to such Tax Claim and (iii) not settle such Tax Claim without the consent of the Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), if the impact of the resolution of such Tax Claim or other compromise would give rise to a material amount of Pre-Closing Taxes; provided that the Representative shall be entitled, at its own cost and expense, to participate in any Tax Claim with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Section 10.6Post-Closing Actions. If Parent determines, in its good faith discretion, that it is in the best interest of the Surviving Entity to initiate voluntary disclosure agreements, initiatives and similar processes, including the filing and/or amendment of any Tax Returns or agreements, for the mitigation of any Company or Surviving Entity liability for sales and use Taxes, state income, franchise or gross receipts Tax and any similar or equivalent Taxes (any such tax, a “S/U Tax”) with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (any such action, a “VDA Process”), then Parent shall promptly notify the Representative of such determination. Not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to actually filing a formal voluntary disclosure agreement or other Tax Return described in this Section 10.6, Parent shall give the Representative a right to review and comment thereon, and Parent shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments to such filings that are timely provided by the Representative and, prior to filing, any such filings shall require the prior written consent of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned and provided that if no response is received by Parent from Representative on or before the third (3rd) Business Day prior to any filing deadline relating thereto, the Representative’s consent shall be deemed given). Parent shall control any such VDA Process; provided

Section 11.15Interpretation.

The recitals of this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference as reflecting the general understanding and intent of the parties hereto. The headings contained herein and on the Disclosure Schedules are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes”, or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. Any reference herein to any federal, state, local, or foreign Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

The Company agrees that after Closing, the Retained Counsel may represent the Representative in the matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation in respect of any indemnification claims pursuant hereto. The parties hereby agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective managers, directors, equityholders, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that, in the event that a dispute arises after the
78
4898-3834-0359.9



Closing between the Company Securityholders, on the one hand, and the Surviving Entity, Parent and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, the Retained Counsel may represent the Company Securityholders in such dispute even though the interests of the Company Securityholders (or any of their Affiliates) may be directly adverse to Parent and/or the Surviving Entity, and even though the Retained Counsel may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Parent further agrees that, as to all communications among the Retained Counsel, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, made in connection with the negotiation and consummation of the Mergers that are entitled to the protection of the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product doctrine or similar protection under applicable Law (collectively, the “Legal Communications”), the attorney-client privilege (as it relates to the Retained Counsel), and after the Closing, the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Company Securityholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent or the Surviving Entity; provided, that the Company Securityholders shall not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Parent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Legal Communications shall not include communications that do not involve the giving of legal advice or information about facts and circumstances that do not relate to the Mergers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, the Surviving Entity and/or any of their respective Affiliates and a third party (other than a Company Securityholder or any Affiliate thereof) after the Closing, Parent may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by the Retained Counsel to such third party or such privilege may be asserted by the Retained Counsel in connection with its representation of a party in such dispute; provided, however, that Parent may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). To the extent that Legal Communications are contained in files or other materials maintained by the Retained Counsel, such portion of such files or other materials that contain Legal Communications constitute property of the Company Securityholders. The Retained Counsel shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 11.16, and such section shall not be amended without consent of the Retained Counsel.

The purpose of this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) of Health Catalyst, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is to provide a total compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high-caliber directors who are not employees or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries (“Outside Directors”). This Policy will become effective as of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company in June, 2025 (the “Effective Date”). In furtherance of the purpose stated above, all Outside Directors shall be paid compensation for services provided to the Company as set forth below:
1.Cash Retainers
(a)Additional Annual Retainers for Committee Membership:
    Audit Committee Chairperson:    $22,500
    Audit Committee member:     $10,000
    Compensation Committee Chairperson:     $15,000
    Compensation Committee member:     $7,500
    Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairperson:     $10,000
    Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee member:     $5,000
    Transactions Committee Chairperson:    $10,000
    Transactions Committee member:    $5,000
(b)Additional Retainer for Non-Executive Chairman of the Board: $30,000 to acknowledge the additional responsibilities and time commitment of the role.
(c)All cash retainers will be paid in cash quarterly in arrears promptly following the end of the applicable calendar quarter, but in no event more than 30 days after the end of such quarter. If an Outside Director does not serve as an Outside Director, or in the applicable positions described above, for an entire calendar quarter, the retainer paid to such Outside Director will be prorated for the portion of such calendar quarter actually served as an Outside Director, or in such position, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Outside Directors may elect to receive (i) fully vested restricted stock units in lieu of the cash retainer noted above and in lieu of the retainer for Board membership noted in Section 2(e)(ii) below, or (ii) receive 50% of thereof in the form of
ACTIVE/99270284.7



fully vested restricted stock units and the balance in cash (“Equity Election”). If an Outside Director makes an Equity Election, the Equity Election will continue each year unless such Outside Director notifies the Company it wishes to revoke the Equity Election for the next eligible period. Each Equity Election must be submitted to the Company in the form and manner specified by the Board or its Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”). An individual who fails to make a timely Equity Election will not receive a restricted stock unit award and instead will receive the applicable annual retainer in cash. Equity Elections must comply with the following timing requirements:
•Initial Election. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director may make an Equity Election with respect to cash retainer payments scheduled to be paid in the same calendar year as such individual first becomes a Non-Employee Director (the “Initial Equity Election”). The Initial Equity Election must be submitted to the Company on or before the date that the individual first becomes a Non-Employee Director (the “Initial Election Deadline”), and the Initial Equity Election will become final and irrevocable as of the Initial Election Deadline.
•Annual Election. No later than April 30th of each calendar year, or such earlier deadline as may be established by the Board or the Compensation Committee, in its discretion (the “Annual Election Deadline”), each individual who is an Outside Director as of immediately before the Annual Election Deadline may make an Equity Election with respect to the cash retainer relating to services to be performed following the next applicable Annual Meeting of the Stockholders (the “Annual Equity Election”). The Annual Equity Election must be submitted to the Company on or before the applicable Annual Election Deadline and will become effective and irrevocable as of the next applicable Annual Meeting of the Stockholders.

2.Equity Retainers
All grants of equity retainer awards to Outside Directors pursuant to this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary and will be made in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)Value. For purposes of this Policy, “Value” means with respect to (i) any award of stock options the grant date fair value of the option (i.e., Black-Scholes Value) determined in accordance with the reasonable assumptions and methodologies employed by the Company for calculating the fair value of options under ASC 718; and (ii) any award of restricted stock and restricted stock units the product of (A) the average closing market price on the NASDAQ (or such other market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then principally listed) of one share of the Company’s Common Stock over the trailing 30-day period ending on the last day of the month immediately prior to the month of the grant date or if the Company’s Common Stock has been listed and traded for less than 30 days prior to the month of the grant date, then the average closing market price on the NASDAQ (or such other market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then principally listed) of one share of the Company’s Common Stock over the total trailing period ending on the day immediately prior to the grant date and (B) the aggregate number of shares pursuant to such award.
(b)Revisions. Subject to approval from the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee in its discretion may change and otherwise revise the terms of awards to be granted
ACTIVE/99270284.7



under this Policy, including, without limitation, the number of shares subject thereto, for awards of the same or different type granted on or after the date the Compensation Committee determines to make any such change or revision.
(c)Sale Event Acceleration. In the event of a Sale Event (as defined in the Company’s 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”)), the equity retainer awards granted to Outside Directors pursuant to this Policy shall become 100% vested and exercisable.
(d)Initial Grant. Upon initial election to the Board of Directors, each new Outside Director will receive an initial, one-time grant of restricted stock units (the “Initial Grant”) with a Value of $225,000 that vests in three equal annual installments over three years; provided, however, that all vesting ceases if the director resigns from our Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting. This Initial Grant applies to Outside Directors who are first elected to the Board of Directors effective as of or subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering.
(e)Annual Grant. On the date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each Outside Director who will continue as a member of the Board of Directors following such Annual Meeting of Stockholders will receive a grant of restricted stock units on the date of such Annual Meeting (the “Annual Grant”) comprised of a total Value of the following grants applicable to such Outside Director that vest in full on the one-year anniversary of the grant date or the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders; provided, however, that all vesting ceases if the director resigns from our Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting.
(i)Annual Equity Long-Term Incentive: $140,000
(ii)Annual Retainer for Board Membership: $45,000 for general availability and participation in meetings and conference calls of our Board of Directors. No additional compensation for attending individual Board meetings.
(f)Equity Election In Lieu of Cash. Each Outside Director that makes an Equity Election and continues to be a member of the Board of Directors, shall receive on September 1, December 1, March 1 and June 1 following such election a grant of restricted stock units of the Company with a total Value equal to the quarterly value of the annual retainer for Board membership under Section 2(e)(ii) and the applicable quarterly value of the annual cash retainer amounts noted in Section 1 that were earned in the prior quarter that are subject to the Equity Election, each of which shall immediately vest on the date of such grant. For clarity, in the event an Outside Director does not make an Equity Election, all compensation under the Policy shall be paid in cash except for the annual equity long-term incentive noted in Section 2(e)(i).
3.Expenses
The Company will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Outside Directors in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof.
4.Maximum Annual Compensation
The aggregate amount of compensation, including both equity compensation and cash compensation, paid to any Outside Director in a calendar year period shall not exceed (i) $1,000,000 in the first calendar year an individual becomes an Outside Director and (ii) $500,000 in any other year (or in each case, such other limits as may be set forth in Section 3(b) of the
ACTIVE/99270284.7



2019 Plan or any similar provision of a successor plan). For this purpose, the “amount” of equity compensation paid in a calendar year shall be determined based on the grant date fair value thereof, as determined in accordance with ASC 718 or its successor provision, but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.
Date Policy Approved: February 20, 2025

Health Catalyst reserves the right to provide you with additional policies in addition to any existing written policies that would apply to the terms of your employment. Should your position, compensation, or benefits change over time the remaining sections of this agreement will still be valid. If any provision in this offer or compliance by you or HC with any provision of this offer constitutes a violation of any law, or is or becomes unenforceable or void, it will be deemed modified to the extent necessary so that it is no longer in violation of law, unenforceable or void, and such provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If such modification is not possible, said provision, to the extent that it is in violation of law, unenforceable or void, will be deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this offer, which provisions and terms will remain in effect.

Exhibit 19.1
HEALTH CATALYST, INC.


INSIDER TRADING POLICY

This memorandum sets forth the policy of Health Catalyst, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) regarding trading in the Company’s securities as described below and the disclosure of information concerning the Company. This Insider Trading Policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”) is designed to prevent insider trading or the appearance of impropriety, to satisfy the Company’s obligation to reasonably supervise the activities of Company personnel, and to help Company personnel avoid the severe consequences associated with violations of insider trading laws. It is your obligation to understand and comply with this Insider Trading Policy.

PART I. OVERVIEW

A. To Whom does this Insider Trading Policy Apply?

This Insider Trading Policy is applicable to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants and applies to any and all transactions by such persons and their affiliates (as defined below) in the Company’s securities, including its common stock, options to purchase common stock, any other type of securities that the Company may issue (such as preferred stock, convertible debentures, warrants, exchange-traded options or other derivative securities), and any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company’s securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company’s securities.

In addition, all directors, officers, employees and consultants must comply with the Trading Procedures set forth in Part II of this Insider Trading Policy (the “Trading Procedures”) (collectively, and solely for the purposes of this Insider Trading Policy, these persons are referred to as “Insiders”), provided that, except as otherwise indicated, the pre-clearance procedures set forth in Part II, Section B herein only apply to the Designated Persons (as defined below). Generally, the Trading Procedures establish trading windows outside of which the persons covered by the Trading Procedures will be restricted from trading in the Company’s securities.

This Insider Trading Policy, including, if applicable, the Trading Procedures contained herein, also applies to the following persons (collectively, these persons and entities are referred to as “Affiliated Persons”):

•your spouse, child, parent, significant other or other family member, in each case, living in the same household;

•all trusts, family partnerships and other types of entities formed for your benefit of the Insider or for the benefit of a member of your family over which you have the ability to influence or direct investment decisions concerning securities;

•all persons who execute trades on your behalf; and


Exhibit 19.1

•all investment funds, trusts, retirement plans, partnerships, corporations and other types of entities over which you have the ability to influence or direct investment decisions concerning securities; provided, however, that the Trading Procedures shall not apply to any such entity that engages in the investment of securities in the ordinary course of its business (e.g., an investment fund or partnership) if such entity has established its own insider trading controls and procedures in compliance with applicable securities laws.

You are responsible for ensuring compliance with this Insider Trading Policy, including the Trading Procedures contained herein, by all of your Affiliated Persons.

In the event that you leave the Company for any reason, this Insider Trading Policy, including, if applicable, the Trading Procedures contained herein, will continue to apply to you and your Affiliated Persons until the later of: (1) the second trading day following the public release of earnings for the fiscal quarter in which you leave the Company or (2) the second trading day after any material nonpublic information known to you has become public or is no longer material.

B. What is Prohibited by this Insider Trading Policy?

It is generally illegal for you to trade in the securities of the Company, whether for your account or for the account of another, while in the possession of material, nonpublic information about the Company in breach of a duty of trust or confidence. It is also generally illegal for you to disclose material, nonpublic information about the Company to others who may trade on the basis of that information. These illegal activities are commonly referred to as “insider trading.”

Prohibited Activities

When you know or are in possession of material, nonpublic information about the Company, whether positive or negative, you are prohibited from the following activities:

•trading (whether for your account of for the account of another) in the Company’s securities, which includes common stock, options to purchase common stock, any other type of securities that the Company may issue (such as preferred stock, convertible debentures, warrants, exchange-traded options or other derivative securities), and any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company’s securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company’s securities, except for trades made in compliance with the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, such as when trades are made pursuant to a written plan that was adopted, or trading instructions that were given, before you knew or had possession of such material, nonpublic information and certain other conditions are satisfied;

•giving trading advice of any kind about the Company; and

•disclosing such material, nonpublic information about the Company, whether positive or negative, to anyone else (commonly known as “tipping”).



Exhibit 19.1
The prohibitions in this Insider Trading Policy do not apply to: (1) an exercise of an employee stock option when payment of the exercise price is made in cash or (2) the surrender of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement or vesting of equity-based awards, in each case, that do not involve a market sale of the Company’s securities if (a) such withholding is required by the applicable plan or award agreement or (b) the election to exercise such tax withholding right was made by the Insider in compliance with the Trading Procedures.

The policy does apply, however, to the use of outstanding Company securities to constitute part or all of the exercise price of an option, any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option or any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option.

These prohibitions continue whenever and for as long as you know or are in possession of material, nonpublic information. Remember, anyone scrutinizing your transactions will be doing so after the fact, with the benefit of hindsight. As a practical matter, before engaging in any transaction, you should carefully consider how enforcement authorities and others might view the transaction in hindsight.

Definition of Material, Nonpublic Information

This Insider Trading Policy prohibits you from trading in the Company’s securities if you are in possession of information about the Company that is both “material” and “nonpublic.” If you have a question whether certain information you are aware of is material or has been made public, you are encouraged to consult with the Compliance Officer. For purposes of this Insider Trading Policy, the Compliance Officer shall be the Company’s then-serving General Counsel.
What is “Material” Information?

Information about the Company is “material” if it could reasonably be expected to affect the investment or voting decisions of a stockholder or investor, or if the disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to significantly alter the total mix of information in the marketplace about the Company. In simple terms, material information is any type of information that could reasonably be expected to affect the market price of the Company’s securities. Both positive and negative information may be material. While it is not possible to identify all information that would be deemed “material,” the following items are types of information that should be considered carefully to determine whether they are material:

•projections of future earnings or losses, or other earnings guidance;

•earnings or revenue that are inconsistent with the consensus expectations of the investment community;

•potential restatements of the Company’s financial statements, changes in auditors or auditor notification that the Company may no longer rely on an auditor’s audit report;



Exhibit 19.1
•pending or proposed corporate mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, joint ventures or dispositions of significant assets;

•changes in management or the Board of Directors;

•significant actual or threatened litigation or governmental investigations or major developments in such matters;

•a cybersecurity or data privacy incident;

•significant developments regarding the platform, products, customers, suppliers, orders, contracts or financing sources (e.g., the acquisition or loss of a contract);

•changes in dividend policy, declarations of stock splits, or public or private sales of additional securities;

•potential defaults under the Company’s credit agreements or indentures, or the existence of material liquidity deficiencies; and

•bankruptcies or receiverships.

By including the list above, the Company does not mean to imply that each of these items above is per se material. The information and events on this list still require determinations as to their materiality (although some determinations will be reached more easily than others). For example, some new products or contracts may clearly be material to an issuer; yet that does not mean that all product developments or contracts will be material. This demonstrates, in our view, why no “bright-line” standard or list of items can adequately address the range of situations that may arise. Furthermore, the Company cannot create an exclusive list of events and information that have a higher probability of being considered material.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has stated that there is no fixed quantitative threshold amount for determining materiality, and that even very small quantitative changes can be qualitatively material if they would result in a movement in the price of the Company’s securities.

What is “Nonpublic” Information?

Material information is “nonpublic” if it has not been disseminated in a manner making it available to investors generally. To show that information is public, it is necessary to point to some fact that establishes that the information has become publicly available, such as the filing of a report with the SEC, the distribution of a press release through a widely disseminated news or wire service, or by other means that are reasonably designed to provide broad public access. Before a person who possesses material, nonpublic information can trade, there also must be adequate time for the market as a whole to absorb the information that has been disclosed. For the purposes of this Insider Trading Policy, information will be considered public after the close of trading on the second full trading day following the Company’s public release of the information.



Exhibit 19.1
For example, if the Company announces material nonpublic information of which you are aware before trading begins on a Tuesday, the first time you can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Thursday. However, if the Company announces this material information after trading begins on that Tuesday, the first time that you can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Friday.

C. What are the Penalties for Insider Trading and Noncompliance with this Insider Trading Policy?

Both the SEC and the national securities exchanges, through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), investigate and are very effective at detecting insider trading. The SEC, together with the U.S. Attorneys, pursue insider trading violations vigorously. For instance, cases have been successfully prosecuted against trading by employees in foreign accounts, trading by family members and friends, and trading involving only a small number of shares.

The penalties for violating insider trading or tipping rules can be severe and include:

•disgorgement of the profit gained or loss avoided by the trading;

•payment of the loss suffered by the persons who, contemporaneously with the purchase or sale of securities that are subject of such violation, have purchased or sold, as applicable, securities of the same class;

•payment of criminal penalties of up to $5,000,000;

•payment of civil penalties of up to three times the profit made or loss avoided;

•loss of the ability to be a director or officer of a publicly traded company; and

•imprisonment for up to 20 years.

The Company and/or the supervisors of the person engaged in insider trading may also be required to pay civil penalties of up to the greater of approximately $2,300,000 or three times the profit made or loss avoided, as well as criminal penalties of up to $25,000,000, and could under certain circumstances be subject to private lawsuits.

Violation of this Insider Trading Policy or any federal or state insider trading laws may subject the person violating such policy or laws to disciplinary action by the Company up to and including termination. The Company reserves the right to determine, in its own discretion and on the basis of the information available to it, whether this Insider Trading Policy has been violated. The Company may determine that specific conduct violates this Insider Trading Policy, whether or not the conduct also violates the law. It is not necessary for the Company to await the filing or conclusion of a civil or criminal action against the alleged violator before taking disciplinary action.

D. How Do You Report a Violation of this Insider Trading Policy?



Exhibit 19.1
If you have a question about this Insider Trading Policy, including whether certain information you are aware of is material or has been made public, you are encouraged to consult with the Compliance Officer. In addition, if you violate this Insider Trading Policy or any federal or state laws governing insider trading, or know of any such violation by any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company, you should report the violation immediately to the Compliance Officer.

PART II. TRADING PROCEDURES

A. Special Trading Restrictions Applicable to Insiders

In addition to the restrictions on trading in Company securities set forth above, Insiders and their Affiliated Persons are subject to the following special trading restrictions:

1. No Trading Except During Open Trading Windows.

The announcement of the Company’s quarterly financial results almost always has the potential to have a material effect on the market for the Company’s securities. Although an Insider may not know the financial results prior to public announcement, if an Insider engages in a trade before the financial results are disclosed to the public, such trades may give an appearance of impropriety that could subject the Insider and the Company to a charge of insider trading. Therefore, subject to limited exceptions described herein, Insiders may trade in Company securities only during four quarterly open trading windows and then Designated Persons may trade in Company securities only after obtaining pre-clearance from the Compliance Officer in accordance with the procedures set forth below. Unless otherwise advised, the four open trading windows consist of the periods that begin after market close on the second full trading day following the Company’s issuance of a press release (or other method of broad public dissemination) announcing its quarterly or annual earnings and end at the close of business on the 15th day of the third month of the then-current quarter. For example, if the Company announces its quarterly or annual earnings after the market closes on a Tuesday, the first time you can buy or sell Company securities is after the closing of the market on Thursday. Insiders may be allowed to trade outside of a trading window only (a) pursuant to a pre-approved Rule 10b5-1 Plan as described below or (b) in accordance with the procedure for waivers as described below.

2. Prohibited Transactions. Unless a waiver is obtained from the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee:

•No Short Sales. No Insider may at any time sell any securities of the Company that are not owned by such Insider at the time of the sale (a “short sale”).

•No Purchases or Sales of Derivative Securities or Hedging Transactions. No Insider may buy or sell puts, calls, other derivative securities of the Company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company’s securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company’s securities or engage in any other hedging transaction with respect to the Company’s securities, at any time.



Exhibit 19.1
•No Company Securities Subject to Margin Calls. No Insider may use the Company’s securities as collateral in a margin account.

•No Pledges. No Insider may pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan (or modify an existing pledge).

3. Gifts Subject to the Same Restrictions as All Other Securities Trades.

No Insider may give or make any other transfer of Company securities without consideration (e.g., a gift) during a period when the Insider is not permitted to trade unless the donee agrees not to sell the shares until such time as the Insider can sell.

B. Pre-Clearance Procedures

Designated Persons may not trade in Company securities unless the trade has been approved by the Compliance Officer in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The Compliance Officer will review and either approve or prohibit all proposed trades by Designated Persons in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The Compliance Officer may consult with the Company’s other officers and/or outside legal counsel and will receive approval for his or her own trades from the Chief Financial Officer.

All directors and officers designated as officers subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as designated by the board of directors of the Company (the “Section 16 Officers”) and certain designated employees, consultants, contractors and other service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries as set forth in Exhibit A, who in the ordinary course of the performance of their duties have access to material, nonpublic information regarding the Company are “Designated Persons.” You will be notified if you are a Designated Person.

Additionally, the Pre-Clearance Procedures set forth in this Section B also apply to all Affiliated Persons; provided, however, that these Pre-Clearance Procedures shall not apply to an Affiliated Person that is an entity that engages in the investment of securities in the ordinary course of its business (e.g., an investment fund or partnership) if such entity has established its own insider trading controls and procedures in compliance with applicable securities laws.

1.Procedures. No Designated Person may trade in Company securities until:

•The Designated Person has notified the Compliance Officer of the amount and nature of the proposed trade(s) using the Stock Transaction Request form attached to this Insider Trading Policy as Exhibit B. In order to provide adequate time for the preparation of any required reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, a Stock Transaction Request form should, if practicable, be received by the Compliance Officer at least two (2) business days prior to the intended trade date;

•The Designated Person has certified to the Compliance Officer in writing prior to the proposed trade(s) that the Designated Person is not in possession of material, nonpublic information concerning the Company;



Exhibit 19.1
•The Designated Person has informed the Compliance Officer, using the Stock Transaction Request form attached hereto as Exhibit B, whether, to the Designated Person’s best knowledge, (a) the Designated Person has (or is deemed to have) engaged in any opposite way transactions within the previous six months that were not exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and (b) if the transaction involves a sale by an “affiliate” of the Company or of “restricted securities” (as such terms are defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”)), whether the transaction meets all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144; and

•The Compliance Officer or his or her designee has approved the trade(s) and has certified such approval in writing. Such certification may be made via digitally-signed electronic mail.

The Compliance Officer does not assume the responsibility for, and approval from the Compliance Officer does not protect the Designated Person from, the consequences of prohibited insider trading.

2. Additional Information.

Designated Persons shall provide to the Compliance Officer any documentation reasonably requested by him or her in furtherance of the foregoing procedures. Any failure to provide such requested information will be grounds for denial of approval by the Compliance Officer.

3. No Obligation to Approve Trades.

The existence of the foregoing approval procedures does not in any way obligate the Compliance Officer to approve any trade requested by a Designated Person. The Compliance Officer may reject any trading request at his or her sole discretion.

From time to time, an event may occur that is material to the Company and is known by only a few directors or executives. Insiders may not trade in Company securities if they are notified by the Compliance Officer that a proposed trade has not been cleared because of the existence of a material, nonpublic development. Even if that particular Insider is not aware of the material, nonpublic development involving the Company, if any Insider engages in a trade before a material, nonpublic development is disclosed to the public or resolved, the Insider and the Company might be exposed to a charge of insider trading that could be costly and difficult to refute even if the Insider was unaware of the development. So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, the Compliance Officer may determine not to approve any transactions in the Company’s securities. The Compliance Officer will subsequently notify the Insider once the material, nonpublic development is disclosed to the public or resolved. If a Designated Person requests clearance to trade in the Company’s securities during the pendency of such an event, the Compliance Officer may reject the trading request without disclosing the reason.

4. Completion of Trades.



Exhibit 19.1
After receiving written clearance to engage in a trade signed by the Compliance Officer, a Designated Person must complete the proposed trade within five (5) business days or make a new trading request.

5. Post-Trade Reporting.

Any transactions in the Company’s securities by a Designated Person (including transactions effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan) must be reported to the Compliance Officer by completing the “Confirmation of Transaction” section of the Stock Transaction Request form attached to this Insider Trading Policy on the same day in which such a transaction occurs. Each report a Designated Person makes to the Compliance Officer should include the date of the transaction, quantity of shares, price and broker-dealer through which the transaction was effected. This reporting requirement may be satisfied by sending (or having such Designated Person’s broker send) duplicate confirmations of trades to the Compliance Officer if such information is received by the Compliance Officer on or before the required date. Compliance by directors and executive officers with this provision is imperative given the requirement of Section 16 of the Exchange Act that these persons generally must report changes in ownership of Company securities within two (2) business days. The sanctions for noncompliance with this reporting deadline include mandatory disclosure in the Company’s proxy statement for the next annual meeting of stockholders, as well as possible civil or criminal sanctions for chronic or egregious violators.

C. Exemptions

1.Pre-Approved Rule 10b5-1 Plan.

Transactions effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan (as defined below) will not be subject to the Company’s trading windows or pre-clearance procedures, and Designated Persons are not required to complete a Stock Transaction Request form for such transactions. Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense from insider trading liability under the federal securities laws for trading plans, arrangements or instructions that meet certain requirements. A trading plan, arrangement or instruction that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”) enables Insiders to establish arrangements to trade in Company securities outside of the Company’s trading windows, even when in possession of material, nonpublic information.

If an Insider intends to trade pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan, such plan, arrangement or instruction must:

•satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1;

•be documented in writing;

•be adopted during an open trading window when such Insider does not possess material, nonpublic information;

•require that the first trade does not occur (the “Cooling-Off Period”) until:



Exhibit 19.1
◦for Insiders who are directors and Section 16 Officers, the earlier to occur of (a) the later of (i) 90 days after adoption or modification of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan and (ii) two business days following the disclosure of the Company’s financial results in a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for the fiscal quarter in which the Rule 10b5-1 plan was adopted or (b) 120 days after the adoption or modification of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan; or

◦for Insiders other than directors or Section 16 Officers, the later of (a) 30 days after the adoption or modification of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan or (b) the next open trading window, as described above, following the adoption or modification, of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan; and

•be pre-approved by the Compliance Officer.

Insiders may not adopt more than one Rule 10b5-1 Plan at a time, except under the limited circumstances permitted by Rule 10b5-1 and subject to pre-approval by the Compliance Officer

The Compliance Officer may refuse to approve a Rule 10b5-1 Plan as he or she deems appropriate including, without limitation, if he or she determines that such plan does not satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1.

Any modification to or termination of an Insider’s prior Rule 10b5-1 Plan requires pre-approval by the Compliance Officer. A modification must occur during an open trading window and while such Insider is not aware of material, nonpublic information and satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1. Modifications that change the amount, price, or timing of the purchase or sale of the securities underlying an existing Rule 10b5-1 Plan will trigger a new Cooling-Off Period.

Any transaction pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be timely reported following the transaction in accordance with the procedures set forth above.

The Company reserves the right to publicly disclose, announce, or respond to inquiries from the media regarding the adoption, modification, or termination of a Rule 10b5-1 Plan or the execution of transactions made under a Rule 10b5-1 Plan. The Company also reserves the right from time to time to suspend, discontinue, or otherwise prohibit transactions under a Rule 105b-1 Plan if the Compliance Officer or the Board of Directors, in his, her, or its discretion, determines that such suspension, discontinuation, or other prohibition is in the best interests of the Company.

Compliance of a Rule 10b5-1 Plan with the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and the execution of transactions pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan are the sole responsibility of the person initiating the Rule 10b5-1 Plan, and none of the Company, the Compliance Officer, or the Company’s other employees assumes any liability for any delay in reviewing and/or refusing to approve a Rule 10b5-1 Plan submitted for approval, nor the legality or consequences relating to a person entering into, informing the Company of, or trading under, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan.

2. Employee Benefit Plans.



Exhibit 19.1
Exercise of Stock Options. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in the Trading Procedures do not apply to the exercise of an option to purchase securities of the Company when payment of the exercise price is made in cash. However, the exercise of an option to purchase securities of the Company is subject to the current reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and, therefore, Designated Persons must comply with the post-trade reporting requirement described in Section C above for any such transaction. In addition, the securities acquired upon the exercise of an option to purchase Company securities are subject to all of the requirements of this Insider Trading Policy, including the Trading Procedures contained herein. Moreover, the Trading Procedures apply to the use of outstanding Company securities to constitute part or all of the exercise price of an option, any net option exercise, any exercise of a stock appreciation right, share withholding, any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option, or any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option.

Tax Withholding on Restricted Stock/Units. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in the Trading Procedures do not apply to the surrender of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement or vesting of equity-based awards, in each case, that do not involve a market sale of the Company’s securities if (a) such withholding is required by the applicable plan or award agreement or (b) the election to exercise such tax withholding right was made by the Insider in compliance with the Trading Procedures.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in the Trading Procedures do not apply to (i) periodic wage withholding contributions by the Company or employees of the Company which are used to purchase the Company’s securities pursuant to the employees’ advance instructions under the Company’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or (ii) elections or withdrawals with respect to participation in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan or to purchases of securities under such plan. Any sale of securities acquired under such plan is subject to the prohibitions and restrictions of the Trading Procedures.

D. Waivers

A waiver of any provision of this Insider Trading Policy, or the Trading Procedures contained herein, in a specific instance may be authorized in writing by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and any such waiver shall be reported to the Company’s Board of Directors.
