Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.General Information and Basis of Accounting

General Information

We are a market leading provider of data analytics and technology-enabled solutions designed to bring affordability, efficiency and fairness to the U.S. healthcare industry. Through our proprietary data and technology platform, we provide out-of-network cost management, payment and revenue integrity data and decision science, business-to-business healthcare payments and other services to the payors of healthcare, which are primarily health insurers and their administrative-services-only platforms, self-insured employers, federal and state government-sponsored health plans (collectively "Payors") and other health plan sponsors (typically through their health plan administrators), and, indirectly, the plan members who are the consumers of healthcare services.

Throughout the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, "we," "us," "our", "MultiPlan", and the "Company" and similar terms refer to MultiPlan and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MultiPlan Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate and make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of MultiPlan Corporation and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been included.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from the Company's estimates. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares, valuation of stock-based compensation awards and income taxes.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making decisions. The Company's singular focus is being a leading value-added provider of data analytics and technology-enabled end-to-end cost management, payment and revenue integrity solutions to the U.S. healthcare industry.

In addition, all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented.

Percent of PSAV revenues	88.7		%	90.9		%
Percent of PEPM revenues	9.6		%	8.5		%
Percent of other revenues	1.7		%	0.6		%

Due to the nature of our arrangements, certain estimates may be constrained if it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved. For our percentage of savings contracts, portions of revenue that are recognized and collected in a reporting period may be returned or credited in subsequent periods. These credits are the result of Payors not utilizing the discounts that were initially calculated, or differences between the Company’s estimates of savings achieved for a customer and the amounts self-reported in the following month by that same customer. Significant judgment is used in constraining estimates of variable consideration, and is based upon both customer-specific and aggregated factors that include historical billing and adjustment data, customer contractual terms, and performance guarantees. We update our estimates at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. There have not been any material changes to estimates of variable consideration for performance obligations satisfied prior to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The timing of payments from customers from time to time generates contract assets or contract liabilities, however these amounts are immaterial in all periods presented.

Derivatives

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. In September 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert some of its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows.

The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with authoritative guidance for the agreements entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects "Earnings".

Stock-Based Compensation

In 2024, the Company began granting a new type of award via the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the form of employee performance stock units ("PSUs"). The PSUs vest approximately three years after grant if certain performance metrics are met, as follows: 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return (“RTSR”) over the measurement period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 compared to the Russel 2000, and 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the cumulative revenue from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025.

The fair value assigned to PSUs is determined using the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for the performance based awards, i.e. the revenue PSUs, and by using a Monte Carlo simulation for the market based awards, i.e. the RTSR PSUs. Stock-based compensation costs associated with awards with a performance condition are re-assessed each reporting period based upon the estimated performance attainment on the reporting date until the performance conditions are met. The ultimate number of shares of common stock that are issued to an employee is the result of the actual performance of the Company at the end of the performance period compared to the performance targets and ranges from 0% to 150% of the initial PSU grant.

The Monte Carlo simulation model uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model to determine the expected potential ranking of the Company against the Russel 2000, i.e. the probability of satisfying the market condition defined in the award. Expected volatility in the model was estimated based on the volatility of historical stock prices over a period matching the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield constant maturities for a term matching the expected term of the award.

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as compensation expense for employee awards, net of forfeitures, over the applicable requisite service period of the stock award using the straight-line method for awards with only service conditions. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Certain assumptions used are subjective and require significant management judgment, and include (i) the risk-free rate, (ii) volatility, (iii) the expected term, and (iv) our assessment of actual performance in comparison to the targets set in the awards. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the grant date fair value of the PSUs and ultimately compensation expenses.

2. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As of each balance sheet date, other intangible assets consisted of the following:

		March 31, 2024						December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	Weighted-average amortization period	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value
Customer relationships	15 years	$	4,197,480	$	(2,160,744)	$	2,036,736	$	4,197,480	$	(2,090,703)	$	2,106,777

Trade names	9 years	2,670		(982)		1,688		2,670		(919)		1,751
Trade names	Indefinite	60,300		—		60,300		63,000		—		63,000
Non-compete	5 years	1,000		(180)		820		1,000		(130)		870
Total		$	5,180,100	$	(2,635,564)	$	2,544,536	$	5,182,800	$	(2,549,593)	$	2,633,207

Goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

(in thousands)	2024		2023
Beginning balance, January 1	$	3,829,002	$	3,705,199
Loss on impairment	(516,350)		—
Ending balance, March 31	$	3,312,652	$	3,705,199

The goodwill arose from the acquisition of the Company in 2016 by Holdings, the HST acquisition in 2020, the DHP acquisition in 2021 and the BST acquisition in 2023. The carrying value of goodwill was $3,312.7 million and $3,829.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

We concluded that the significant declines in our stock price and market capitalization during the month of March 2024 represented a triggering event and therefore performed an impairment assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2024.

The estimated fair value of our indefinite-lived trade names was less than their carrying value and as a result a loss on impairment of $2.7 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The quantitative assessment of our goodwill as of March 31, 2024 indicated that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and as a result a loss on impairment of $516.4 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets was primarily due to the use of a higher discount rate in response to significant declines in the stock price, and lower EBITDA multiples. There were no material changes in the forecasted revenues and expenses utilized in the analysis compared to November 1, 2023.

Impairment losses are included in Loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. No impairment was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

In the quantitative impairment test of goodwill performed in the three months ended March 31, 2024, we calculate the estimated enterprise fair value of the reporting unit using (i) a discounted cash flow analysis, (ii) forecasted EBITDA trading multiples for comparable publicly traded companies and (iii) historical EBITDA multiples for comparable acquisitions, giving equal weight to the three approaches. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted revenues, forecasted expenses, the terminal growth rate and the discount rate. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Following the goodwill impairment the carrying value of this reporting unit equaled its fair value as of March 31, 2024. Therefore, if business conditions or expectations were to change materially, it may be necessary to record further impairment charges in the future.

MULTIPLAN CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company incurred a goodwill impairment charge of $516.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. Of this impairment charge, $490.2 million is permanently nondeductible for income tax purposes resulted in an income tax expense of $103.0 million. The impairment charge is treated as a discrete item for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which impacted our effective tax rate versus our statutory tax rate.

3.    Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to interest risk on its floating rate debt. On September 12, 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $800 million to effectively convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The interest rate swap agreements are effective August 31, 2023 and mature on August 31, 2026. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the volatility of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company's floating rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. The Company's interest rate swaps are highly effective at offsetting the changes in cash outflows and therefore designated as cash flow hedging instruments.

The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, as described in Note 6 Fair Value Measurements. The gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The following table represents the activity of cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented:

(in thousands)	2024
Balance as of January 1	$	(11,778)
Unrealized gain recognized in other comprehensive income before reclassifications	6,963
Reclassifications to interest expense	1,579
Balance as of March 31, net of tax	$	(3,236)

There was no cash flow hedge activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company recognized a $1.6 million gain related to the cash flow derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The gain is recognized within interest expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.

The following table represents the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

(in thousands)	Fair Value at March 31, 2024		Fair Value at December 31, 2023
Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments:

Less: debt issuance costs, net					(24,754)		(25,883)
Long-term debt, net					$	4,511,297	$	4,532,733

(1)Beginning December 31, 2021 and quarterly thereafter, we will repay a principal amount of the Term Loan B equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal of $1,325.0 million. These scheduled principal repayments may be reduced by any voluntary or mandatory prepayments made in accordance with the credit agreement.

(2)Interest on Term Loan B and Revolver B is calculated, at MPH's option, as (a) Term SOFR (or, with respect to the term loan facility only, 0.50%, whichever is higher), plus the applicable SOFR adjustment, plus the applicable margin, or (b) the highest rate of (1) prime rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate, plus 0.50%, (3) the Term SOFR for an interest period of one month, plus the applicable SOFR adjustment, plus 1.00% and (4) 0.50% for Term Loan B and 1.00% for Revolver B, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 4.25% for Term Loan B and between 3.50% and 4.00% for Revolver B, depending on MPH's first lien debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio. The interest rate in effect for Term Loan B was 9.86% as of March 31, 2024.

(3)The Senior Convertible PIK Notes are convertible into shares of the Company's Class A common stock based on a $13.00 conversion price, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchased and cancelled $21.1 million of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes. The repurchases resulted in the recognition of a gain on extinguishment of $5.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which are included in gain on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.

MULTIPLAN CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the debt covenants. See our discussion of Debt Covenants and Events of Default provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

5.    Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares

The Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares as a liability on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as these instruments are precluded from being indexed to our own stock given the terms allow for a settlement that does not meet the scope of the fixed-for-fixed exception in Accounting Standards Codification 815.

The Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares were initially recorded at fair value on the date of consummation of the Transactions and are subsequently adjusted to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value of the Unvested Founder Shares and unvested Private Placement Warrants is obtained using a Monte Carlo model and the fair value of the remaining Private Placement Warrants is obtained using a Black Scholes model, together referenced as the "option pricing" model. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value for the founder shares until the earlier of the re-vesting or forfeiture of these instruments. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value for the Private Placement Warrants until the warrant is equity classified.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Unvested Founder Shares were:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Private Placement Warrants	$	157	$	183
Unvested Founder Shares	$	190	$	294

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the change in fair values was primarily due to the change in expected term and the decrease in the price of the Company's Class A common stock over that period. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income include (gains) losses related to the change in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Private Placement Warrants	$	(26)	$	763
Unvested Founder Shares	(104)		868
(Gain) loss on change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares	$	(130)	$	1,631

6.    Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value represents an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:

•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.

•Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the entity to develop its own assumptions.

Financial instruments

Certain financial instruments which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists primarily of accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included money market funds of $20.0 million, which were valued based on Level 1 measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's carrying amount and fair value of long-term debt consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Liabilities:
Term Loan B, net of discount	$	1,283,004	$	1,243,231	$	1,285,857	$	1,243,424
5.50% Senior Secured Notes	1,050,000		893,550		1,050,000		946,050
5.750% Notes	979,827		772,104		979,827		805,418
Senior Convertible PIK Notes, net of discount	1,236,459		876,649		1,256,167		869,268
Finance lease obligations	11		11		15		15
Total Liabilities	$	4,549,301	$	3,785,545	$	4,571,866	$	3,864,175

We estimate the fair value of long-term debt using quoted prices in active markets. As such, this is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement.

Recurring fair value measurements

The Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these instruments was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market which would represent a level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses an option pricing simulation to estimate the fair value of these instruments.

The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, which represents the estimated amounts it would receive or pay upon termination of the derivative prior to the scheduled expiration date. The fair value is derived from model-driven information based on observable Level 2 inputs, such as SOFR forward rates.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

We also measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill and long-lived tangible and intangible assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We estimate the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. There were impairment charges of $519.1 million for these assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and none for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Our non-marketable equity securities using the measurement alternative are adjusted to fair value on a non-recurring basis. Adjustments are made when observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer occur, or due to impairment. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the value based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date. At March 31, 2024, the carrying amount of these alternative investments, recorded under Other assets, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $15.0 million. There were no write-ups due to observable price changes or write-downs due to impairment in the current period.

7.    Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company has certain irrevocable letters of credit used to satisfy real estate lease agreements for three of our offices in lieu of security deposits in the amount of $1.8 million outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company

MULTIPLAN CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

also has an irrevocable letter of credit to satisfy the obligations of a captive insurance subsidiary in the amount of $6.1 million outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Claims and Litigation

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and other pending and threatened litigation and other adversarial matters as well as regulatory investigations, all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome with respect to such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe they will result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We accrue for costs associated with certain contingencies, including, but not limited to, settlement of legal proceedings, regulatory compliance matters and self-insurance exposures when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are included in accrued legal contingencies on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we accrue for legal fees incurred in defense of asserted litigation and regulatory matters as such legal fees are incurred. To the extent it is probable under our existing insurance coverage that we are able to recover losses and legal fees related to contingencies, we record such recoveries concurrently with the accrual of the related loss or legal fees. Significant management judgment is required to estimate the amounts of such contingent liabilities and the related insurance recoveries. In our determination of the probability and ability to estimate contingent liabilities and related insurance recoveries we consider the following: litigation exposure based on currently available information, consultations with external legal counsel, adequacy and applicability of existing insurance coverage, appeal bonds or similar instrument posted, and other pertinent facts and circumstances regarding the contingency. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances change, or contingencies are resolved; and such changes are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income during the period of the change and appropriately reflected in accrued legal contingencies on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

8.    Shareholder's Equity

On February 27, 2023, the Board approved a repurchase program, authorizing, but not obligating, the Company's repurchase of up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of its Class A common stock from time to time through December 31, 2023. On November 8, 2023, the Board extended the repurchase program through December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has spent $25.6 million, including commissions, for the repurchase of its Class A common stock as part of this program using cash on hand, of which $10.4 million was spent during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

9.    Basic and Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share was calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands, except number of shares and per share data)	2024		2023
Numerator for earnings per share calculation
Net (loss) income	$	(539,689)	$	209
Denominator for earnings per share calculation
Weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic	646,334,247		638,721,991
Effect of stock-based compensation	—		2,179,298
Weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted	646,334,247		640,901,289
(Loss) Income per share – basic and diluted:
Net (loss) income per share – basic	$	(0.83)	$	0.00
Net (loss) income per share – diluted	$	(0.83)	$	0.00

As of the three months ended March 31, 2023, we have excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share the instruments whose effect would have been anti-dilutive, including (i) 58,500,000 warrants outstanding, (ii) 100,000,000 shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes, and (iii) 12,404,080 Unvested Founder Shares. Additionally, we have excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share awards within the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, whose effect would have been anti-dilutive of 15,880,120 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

18

MULTIPLAN CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive given the Company's losses incurred. Therefore, the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.

10.    Related Party Transactions

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income include related party expenses of $36 thousand and $63 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These expenses are associated with a software license from Abacus Insights, Inc., as well as customer service software and captive management services from companies controlled by Hellman & Friedman LLC.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include prepaid expenses of $21 thousand and $36 thousand from related parties as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Company Overview

MultiPlan is a market leading provider of data analytics and technology-enabled solutions designed to bring affordability, efficiency and fairness to the U.S. healthcare industry. Through our proprietary data and technology platform, we provide out-of-network cost management, payment and revenue integrity, data and decision science, business-to-business healthcare payments and other services to the payors of healthcare, which are primarily health insurers and their administrative-services-only platforms, self-insured employers, federal and state government-sponsored health plans (collectively "Payors") and other health plan sponsors (typically through their health plan administrators), and, indirectly, the plan members who are the consumers of healthcare services.

Although the end beneficiary of our services are employers and other plan sponsors and their health plan members, our direct customers are typically Payors, including ASOs and third-party administrators ("TPAs"), who go to market with our services to those end customers. We offer these Payors a single interface to our services, which are used in combination or individually to reduce the medical cost burden on their health plan customers, by lowering the per-unit cost of medical services incurred, managing the utilization of medical services, and increasing the likelihood that the services are reimbursed without error and accepted by the provider. We are a technology-enabled service provider and transaction processor and do not deliver health-care services, provide or manage healthcare services, provide care or care management, or adjudicate or pay claims.

21

The Company, through its operating subsidiary, MultiPlan, Inc., offers its solutions nationally through a range of service lines, which include:

•Analytics-Based Services reduce medical cost through data-driven algorithms and insights that detect claims over-charges and either negotiate or recommend fair reimbursement for out-of-network medical costs using a variety of data sources and pricing algorithms. Our Analytics-Based Services claim pricing services are generally priced based on a percentage of savings achieved. Also included in this category are services that enable lower cost health plans that feature reference-based pricing either in conjunction with or in place of a provider network. These services are generally priced at a bundled PEPM rate;

•Network-Based Services reduce medical cost by providing access to contracted discounts with healthcare providers with whom Payors do not have a contractual relationship, through our expansive network of over 1.4 million healthcare providers, which forms one of the largest independent preferred provider organizations in the United States. Our Network-Based Services are priced based on either a percentage of savings achieved or at a per employee/member per month fee. This service category also includes customized network development and management services for Payors seeking to expand their network footprint using outsourced services. These services are generally priced on a per provider contract or other project-based price;

•Payment and Revenue Integrity Services reduce medical cost through data, technology, and clinical expertise deployed to identify and remove improper and unnecessary charges before or after claims are paid, or to identify and help restore premium dollars underpaid by CMS for government health plans caused by discrepancies with enrollment-related data. Payment and Revenue Integrity Services are generally priced based on a percentage of savings achieved; and

•Data and Decision Science Services reduce medical costs through a next generation suite of solutions that apply modern methods of data science to produce descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics that enable customers to optimize decision-making about plan design and network configurations and to support decision-making to improve clinical outcomes, plan performance, and competitive positioning. We formed this new service category in the second quarter of 2023 and accelerated its development through the acquisition of BST. Data and Decisions Science Services are generally priced based on a subscription, licensing, or per-member-per month basis.

•Additionally, in 2023 the Company entered into a partnership agreement with ECHO Health, Inc. ("ECHO"), which through a joint marketing and services agreement adds payment processing of healthcare provider claims as well as payments made to other service providers.

We believe our solutions provide a strong value proposition to Payors, their health plan customers and healthcare consumers, as well as to providers. Overall, our service offerings aim to reduce healthcare costs in a manner that is orderly, efficient and fair to all parties. In addition, because in most instances the fee for our services is linked to the savings we identify, our revenue model is aligned with the interests of our customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2023, our comprehensive services identified approximately $5.7 billion, $5.6 billion, and $22.9 billion in potential medical cost savings, respectively.

22

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Medical Cost Savings

Our business and revenues are driven by the ability to lower medical costs through claims savings for our customers. The volume of medical charges associated with those claims is a primary driver of our ability to generate claim savings.

The following table presents the medical charges processed and the potential savings identified for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Change
(in billions)	2024			2023			%
Commercial Health Plans
Medical charges processed	$	18.3		$	18.4		(0.5)%
Potential medical cost savings	$	5.4		$	5.3		2.5%
Potential savings as a % of charges	29.5		%	28.6		%
Payment & Revenue Integrity, Property & Casualty, and Other
Medical charges processed	$	23.2		$	21.3		8.9%
Potential medical cost savings	$	0.3		$	0.3		10.7%
Potential savings as a % of charges	1.4		%	1.4		%
Total
Medical charges processed	$	41.5		$	39.7		4.5%
Potential medical cost savings	$	5.7		$	5.6		3.0%
Potential savings as a % of charges	13.8		%	14.0		%

Medical charges processed represent the aggregate dollar amount of claims processed by our cost management and payment and revenue integrity solutions in the period presented. The dollar amount of the claim for the purposes of this calculation is the dollar amount of the claim prior to any reductions that may be made as a result of the claim being processed by our solutions.

Potential medical cost savings represent the aggregate amount of potential savings in dollars identified by our cost management and payment and revenue integrity solutions in the period presented. Since certain of our fees are based on the amount of savings achieved by our customers, and our customers are the final adjudicator of the claims and may choose not to reduce claims or reduce claims by only a portion of the potential savings identified, potential medical cost savings may not directly correlate with the amount of fees earned in connection with the processing of such claims.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

We generate revenues from several sources including: (i) Network-Based Services that process claims at a discount compared to billed fee-for-service rates and by using an extensive network, (ii) Analytics-Based Services that use our leading and proprietary information technology platform to offer customers solutions to reduce medical costs, and (iii) Payment and Revenue Integrity Services that use data, technology, and clinical expertise to identify improper, unnecessary and excessive charges. Payors typically compensate us through either a PSAV achieved or a PEPM rate. Approximately 90% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 was based on a PSAV achieved rate.

Costs of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets)

Costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets) consist of all costs specifically associated with claims processing activities for customers, sales and marketing, and the development and maintenance of our networks, analytics-based services, and payment and revenue integrity services. Two of the largest components in costs of services are personnel expenses and access and bill review fees. Access and bill review fees include fees for accessing non-owned third-party provider networks, expenses associated with vendor fees for database access and systems technology used to reprice claims, and outsourced services. Third-party network expenses are fees paid to non-owned provider networks used to supplement our owned network assets to provide more network claim savings to our customers.

23

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include corporate management and governance functions composed of general management, legal, treasury, tax, real estate, financial reporting, auditing, benefits and human resource administration, communications, public relations, billing and information management. In addition, general and administrative expenses include taxes, insurance, advertising, transaction costs, and other general expenses.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense consists of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment related to our investments in leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment, computer hardware and software, and internally generated capitalized software development costs. We provide for depreciation and amortization on property and equipment using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets includes amortization of the value of our customer relationships, provider network, technology, and trademarks which were identified in valuing the intangible assets in connection with the June 6, 2016 acquisition by Hellman & Friedman Capital Partners VIII, L.P. and its affiliates, as well as the subsequent acquisitions of BST, HST and DHP by the Company.

Loss on Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

A loss on impairment is recorded in connection with the quantitative impairment testing of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and is performed annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, and their fair value is less than their carrying value.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of accrued interest and related interest payments on our outstanding long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of bank interest.

(Gain) Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The Company recognizes a (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt for the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt.

Gain (Loss) on change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares

The Company re-measures, at each reporting period, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares. The changes in fair value are primarily due to the change in the stock price of the Company's Class A common stock and the passage of time over that period.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Income tax (benefit) expense consists of federal, state, and local income taxes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to evaluate our financial performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are financial measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our financial operating results of our core business.

These measurements of financial performance have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Some of these limitations are:

24

•such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•such measures do not reflect the significant interest expense, or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

•such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for any future replacement of depreciated assets;

•such measures do not reflect the impact of stock-based compensation upon our results of operations;

•such measures do not reflect our income tax (benefit) expense or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes;

•such measures do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

•other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently from how we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in the presentation.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS are widely used measures of corporate profitability eliminating the effects of financing and capital expenditures from the operating results. We define EBITDA as net (loss) income adjusted for interest expense, interest income, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and non-income taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core business, including other expenses, net, (gain) loss on change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares, transaction related expenses, (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, (gain) loss on investments, loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and stock-based compensation. See our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding these adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is used in our agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness for debt covenant compliance purposes. Our Adjusted EBITDA calculation is consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used in our debt instruments.

Adjusted EPS is used in reporting to our Board and executive management and as a component of the measurement of our performance. We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors because it is the profitability measure we use to evaluate earnings performance on a comparable year-to-year basis. Adjusted EPS is defined as net (loss) income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, transaction related expenses, (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, (gain) loss on investments, other expense, (gain) loss on change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares, loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and tax effect of adjustments to arrive at Adjusted net income divided by our basic weighted average number of shares outstanding.

____________________

Material differences between MultiPlan Corporation and MPH for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 include differences in interest expense, change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares, gain on extinguishment of debt and stock-based compensation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, interest expense for MultiPlan Corporation was higher than MPH by $20.4 million and $20.6 million, respectively, due to interest expense incurred by MultiPlan Corporation on the Senior Convertible PIK Notes.

The change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares, gain on extinguishment of debt, and stock-based compensation (excluding the employee stock purchase plan) are recorded in the parent company MultiPlan Corporation and not in the MPH operating company and therefore represents differences between MultiPlan Corporation and MPH.

In the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, EBITDA expenses for MultiPlan Corporation were lower than MPH by $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, primarily due to insurance premiums paid to our captive insurance company, net of related captive insurance company costs, which are eliminated in the consolidated financial reporting of MultiPlan Corporation.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations

As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations may not be comparable to our results of operations in future periods and may not be directly comparable from period to period. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factors impacting the comparability of our results of operations.

Cyberattack on U.S. Healthcare Infrastructure

In first quarter 2024, there was a cyberattack on a critical piece of the U.S. healthcare infrastructure from a data security breach that disrupted claims flows upstream from our services. While it is difficult to precisely quantify the claims impact, we believe this delayed the receipt of certain medical claims and contributed to lower medical claims volumes in first quarter 2024.

BST Acquisition

On May 8, 2023, the Company acquired BST, a company offering a next generation suite of solutions that apply modern methods of data science to produce descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics that enable customers to optimize decision-making about plan design and network configurations and to support decision-making to improve clinical outcomes, plan performance, and competitive positioning.

The results of operations and financial condition of BST have been included in the Company's consolidated results from the date of acquisition. Acquired expenses from the acquisition of BST are included in costs of services and general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Debt Repurchase and Cancellation

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and cancelled $21.1 million of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes, resulting in the recognition of a gain on debt extinguishment of $5.9 million, representing the difference between the purchase price including associated fees and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and cancelled $137.8 million of the 5.750% Notes, resulting in the recognition of a gain on debt extinguishment of $36.8 million, representing the difference between the purchase price including associated fees and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt.

27

In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and cancelled $184.0 million of the 5.750% Notes and $25.0 million of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes, resulting in the recognition of a gain on debt extinguishment of $46.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively. This gain on debt extinguishment represents the difference between the purchase price including associated fees and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt.

Revenues

Revenues decreased by $2.1 million, or 0.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in revenues was due to decreases in Network-Based Services revenues of $11.0 million, offset by increases in Analytics-Based Services revenues of $7.7 million and Payment and Revenue Integrity Services revenues of $1.3 million during this time period, as explained below.

Network-Based Services revenues decreased $11.0 million, or 19.3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Approximately $6 million of the decrease was primarily related to customer and program attrition, and approximately $5 million of the reduction was from lower medical savings on PSAV claims received from customers and reduced claims volumes from a cyberattack at a major claims clearinghouse, which disrupted claims flows across the healthcare industry and ultimately downstream to our platform. These lower volumes contributed to decreases in Network-Based Services PSAV revenues of $9.7 million and decreases in PEPM network revenues of $1.8 million, offset by increases in other network revenues of $0.5 million.

Analytics-Based Services revenues increased $7.7 million, or 5.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase in revenues was primarily due to increases in Analytics-Based Services PEPM and other revenues of $6.4 million, including acquired revenues of $3.6 million from the acquisition of BST and increases in PSAV revenues of $1.3 million.

28

Payment and Revenue Integrity Services revenues increased by $1.3 million, or 4.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily in our post-payment and revenue integrity lines of business, contributing to increases in PSAV revenues of $1.3 million.

Costs of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets)

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
(in thousands)	2024		2023		$		%
Personnel expenses excluding stock-based compensation	$	49,897	$	46,276	$	3,621	7.8	%
Stock-based compensation	1,755		884		871		98.5	%
Personnel expenses including stock-based compensation	51,652		47,160		4,492		9.5	%
Access and bill review fees	4,901		4,495		406		9.0	%
Other costs of services	3,524		3,195		329		10.3	%
Total costs of services	$	60,077	$	54,850	$	5,227	9.5	%

The increases in costs of services of $5.2 million, or 9.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily due to increases in personnel expenses related to increased employee headcount and year-over-year increases in compensation and related benefits, including increases in personnel costs from the acquisition of BST of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. BST contributed $2.1 million to total costs of services in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

General and Administrative Expenses

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
(in thousands)	2024		2023		$		%
General and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation and transaction-related expenses	$	30,918	$	27,638	$	3,280	11.9	%
Stock-based compensation	3,939		2,811		1,128		40.1	%
Transaction-related expenses	—		1,018		(1,018)		(100.0)	%
Total general and administrative expenses	$	34,857	$	31,467	$	3,390	10.8	%

The increases in general and administrative expenses of $3.4 million, or 10.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily due to increases in personnel expenses of $9.6 million related to increases in employee headcount, year-over-year increases in compensation, and related fringe benefits, stock-based compensation, and contract labor, increases in equipment lease and maintenance of $1.0 million, and acquired net general and administrative expenses from BST of $0.9 million, offset by $7.6 million higher capitalized software development and decreases in transaction costs of $1.0 million.

Depreciation Expense

The increase of $2.8 million, or 15.3%, in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to purchases of property and equipment, including internally generated capitalized software, partially offset by assets that were written-off or became fully depreciated in the period.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

The increase in amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to the acquisition of BST and the intangibles acquired in the transaction.

Loss on Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, in connection with quantitative impairment testing performed on our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, we recorded a $519.1 million loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. This

29

amount includes $516.4 million for the loss on impairment of goodwill, and $2.7 million for the loss on impairment of trade names. The loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets was primarily due to the use of a higher discount rate in response to significant declines in the stock price, and lower EBITDA multiples. There were no material changes in the forecasted revenues and expenses utilized in the analysis compared to November 1, 2023.

Interest Expense

The decrease in interest expense of $1.2 million, or 1.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily due reductions in interest expense due to the swap rate agreements reducing our interest for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and to the repurchase and cancellation of our 5.750% Notes and Senior Convertible PIK Notes, offset by the increase in the interest rate on our Term Loan B. While our annualized weighted average cash interest rate increased by 0.06% across our total debt in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, our interest expense declined due to having a lower debt balance.

As of March 31, 2024, our long-term debt was $4,511.3 million and included (i) a $1,278.6 million Term Loan B, excluding the current portion of Term Loan B of $13.3 million, (ii) $1,050.0 million of 5.50% Senior Secured Notes, (iii) $979.8 million of 5.750% Notes, (iv) $1,253.9 million of Senior Convertible PIK Notes, and net of (v) a discount on Term Loan B of $8.9 million, (vi) a discount on Senior Convertible PIK Notes of $17.4 million, and (vii) debt issue costs of $24.8 million. As of March 31, 2024, our total debt had an annualized weighted average cash interest rate of 6.82%. As of March 31, 2023, our total debt had an annualized weighted average cash interest rate of 6.76%.

As of December 31, 2023, our long-term debt was $4,532.7 million and included (i) a $1,281.9 million Term Loan B, excluding the current portion of Term Loan B of $13.3 million, (ii) $1,050.0 million of 5.50% Senior Secured Notes, (iii) $979.8 million of 5.750% Notes, (iv) $1,275.0 million of Senior Convertible PIK Notes, and net of (v) a discount on Term Loan B of $9.3 million, (vi) a discount on Senior Convertible PIK Notes of $18.8 million, and (vii) debt issue costs of $25.9 million. As of December 31, 2023, our total debt had a weighted average cash interest rate of 6.83%.

Interest Income

The decrease in interest income of $2.3 million, or 71.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to less interest earned on interest bearing bank accounts resulting from lower average invested cash and cash equivalents balances.

Gain on extinguishment of debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and cancelled $21.1 million of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes, resulting in the recognition of a gain on debt extinguishment of $5.9 million, representing the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and cancelled $137.8 million of the 5.750% Notes, resulting in the recognition of a gain on debt extinguishment of $36.8 million, representing the difference between the purchase price including associated fees and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt.

Change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares

The Company re-measures the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares at each reporting period. From December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants remained substantially unchanged and the fair value of the Unvested Founder Shares decreased by $0.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the stock price of the Company's Class A common stock and the passage of time over that period.

(Benefit) provision for income taxes

Net loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $561.7 million generated a benefit for income taxes of $22.0 million. Net income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $1.9 million generated a provision for income taxes of $1.7 million.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to stock compensation expense, limitations on executive compensation, non-deductible goodwill impairment, and state taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to stock-based compensation expense, non-deductible mark-to-market liability, and state taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $69.2 million, which includes restricted cash of $10.5 million. We have $442.1 million of loan availability under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2024, we had four letters of credit totaling $7.9 million of utilization against the revolving credit facility. Three letters of credit are used to satisfy real estate lease agreements for three of our offices in lieu of security deposits in the amount of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company also has an irrevocable letter of credit to satisfy the obligations of a subsidiary in the amount of $6.1 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

On February 27, 2023, the Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its Class A common stock from time to time in open market transactions. The repurchase program was effective immediately and expires on December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has repurchased its Class A common stock as part of this program using cash on hand for an aggregate amount of $25.6 million including commissions, of which $10.4 million was spent during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated funds combined with our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. We believe these sources will provide sufficient liquidity for us to meet our working capital and capital expenditure and other cash requirements for the next twelve months and for the long term. We may from time to time at our sole discretion, purchase, redeem, or retire our long-term debt, through tender offers, in privately negotiated or open market transactions or otherwise. We plan to finance our capital expenditures with cash from operations. Furthermore, our future liquidity and future ability to fund capital expenditures, working capital and debt requirements are also dependent upon our future financial performance, which is subject to many economic, commercial, financial and other factors that are beyond our control, including the ability of financial institutions to meet their lending obligations to us. If those factors significantly change, our business may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or future borrowings may not be available to meet our liquidity needs. We anticipate that to the extent we require additional liquidity as a result of these factors or in order to execute our strategy, it would be financed either by borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, by other indebtedness, additional equity financings, or a combination of the foregoing. We may be unable to obtain any such additional financing on reasonable terms or at all.

Cash Flow Summary

The following table is derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	49,716	$	64,215
Investing activities	$	(30,544)	$	(23,101)
Financing activities	$	(31,488)	$	(109,437)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $14.5 million, or 22.6%, primarily due to lower earnings once adjusted for non-cash items, and favorable changes in working capital. Changes in our working capital requirements reflect the increase in accrued taxes, partially offset by an increase in our trade receivables.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $7.4 million, or 32.2%, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to higher investments in the development of new products and services.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $77.9 million, or 71.2%, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to lower repurchases of debt instruments by $85.1 million.

31

Term Loans and Revolvers

On August 24, 2021, MPH issued new senior secured credit facilities composed of $1,325.0 million of Term Loan B and $450.0 million of Revolver B.

Interest on Term Loan B and Revolver B is calculated, at MPH's option, as (a) Term SOFR (or, with respect to the term loan facility only, 0.50%, if higher), plus the applicable SOFR adjustment, plus the applicable margin, or (b) the highest rate of (1) the prime rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate, plus 0.50%, (3) the Term SOFR for an interest period of one month, plus the applicable SOFR adjustment, plus 1.00% and (4) 0.50% for Term Loan B and 1.00% for Revolver B, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 4.25% for Term Loan B and between 3.50% and 4.00% for Revolver B, depending on MPH's first lien debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio. The interest rate in effect for Term Loan B was 9.86% as of March 31, 2024.

Prior to July 1, 2023, the London Interbank Offered Rate was used to calculate the interest on Term Loan B and Revolver B.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating rate debt. On September 12, 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $800.0 million to effectively convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed-rate basis of 4.59% as a weighted-average across the three swaps. The interest rate swap agreements are effective August 31, 2023 and mature on August 31, 2026. The Company entered into these agreements to eliminate or reduce the volatility of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company's floating rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. The Company's interest rate swaps are highly effective at offsetting the changes in cash outflows and therefore designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The blended rate for Term Loan B factoring in the effect of the interest rate swap agreements was 9.39% as of March 31, 2024 and 9.53% as of December 31, 2023.

Term Loan B matures on September 1, 2028 and Revolver B matures on August 24, 2026.

We are obligated to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of our revolving credit facility. The annual commitment fee rate was 0.50% at March 31, 2024 and 0.375% at March 31, 2023. The fee can range from an annual rate of 0.25% to 0.50% based on our consolidated first lien debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio, as defined in the agreement.

Senior Notes

On October 8, 2020, the Company issued $1,300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible PIK Notes. The Senior Convertible PIK Notes were issued with a 2.5% discount with a maturity date of October 15, 2027.

The Senior Convertible PIK Notes are convertible into shares of Class A common stock based on a $13.00 conversion price, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The interest rate on the Senior Convertible PIK Notes is fixed at 6% in cash and 7% in kind, and is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

On October 29, 2020, the Company issued $1,300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.750% Notes. The 5.750% Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by the Company and its subsidiaries and have a maturation date of November 1, 2028. The 5.750% Notes were issued at par. The interest rate on the 5.750% Notes is fixed at 5.750%, and is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year.

On August 24, 2021 MPH issued $1,050.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Secured Notes with a maturation date of September 1, 2028. The interest rate on the 5.50% Senior Secured Notes is fixed at 5.50%, and is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 5.50% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed and secured as described below under "Guarantees and Security".

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and cancelled $21.1 million of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes, resulting in the recognition of a gain on debt extinguishment of $5.9 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and cancelled $137.8 million of the 5.750% Notes, resulting in the recognition of a gain on debt extinguishment of $36.8 million.

Debt Covenants and Events of Default

We are subject to certain affirmative and negative debt covenants under the debt agreements governing our indebtedness that limit our and/or certain of our subsidiaries' ability to engage in specific types of transactions. These covenants limit our and/or certain of our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things:

32

•incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified or preferred stock;

•pay certain dividends or make certain distributions on capital stock or repurchase or redeem capital stock;

•make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments;

•transfer or sell certain assets;

•incur certain liens;

•place restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us;

•guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations;

•prepay junior debt and make certain investments;

•consummate any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), or dispose of all or substantially all of its business units, assets or other properties; and

•engage in transactions with our affiliates.

Certain covenants related to the 5.50% Senior Secured Notes will cease to apply to the 5.50% Senior Secured Notes if such notes have investment grade ratings from both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and S&P Global Ratings.

The Revolver Ratio is such that, if, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of MPH, the aggregate amount of loans under the revolving credit facility, letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility (to the extent not cash collateralized or backstopped or, in the aggregate, in excess of $10.0 million) and swingline loans are outstanding and/or issued in an aggregate amount greater than 35% of the total commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility at such time, the revolving credit facility will require MPH to maintain a maximum first lien secured leverage ratio of 6.75 to 1.00. Our consolidated first lien debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio was 3.78 times, 3.01 times, and 3.70 times as of March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023 we were in compliance with all of the debt covenants.

The debt agreements governing the senior secured credit facilities, the 5.750% Notes and the 5.50% Senior Secured Notes contain customary events of default, subject to grace periods and exceptions, which include, among others, payment defaults, cross-defaults to certain material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, material judgments, in the case of the debt agreements governing the senior secured credit facilities and the 5.50% Senior Secured Notes, failure of a guarantee on the liens on material collateral to remain in effect, in the case of the debt agreements governing the senior secured credit facilities, any change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under such debt agreements, the lenders and holders of such debt will be permitted to accelerate the loans and terminate the commitments, as applicable, thereunder and exercise other specified remedies available to the lenders and holders thereunder.

See the footnotes to the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table provided above under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for material differences between the financial information of MultiPlan and MPH.

Guarantees and Security

All obligations under the debt agreements governing the senior secured credit facilities and the 5.50% Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by MPH Acquisition Corp. 1, the direct holding company parent of MPH, and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly owned U.S. organized restricted subsidiary of MPH (subject to certain exceptions). All such obligations, and the guarantees of such obligations, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by a first priority lien shared between the senior secured credit facilities and the 5.50% Senior Secured Notes on substantially all of MPH’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ tangible and intangible property, and a pledge of all of the capital stock of each of their respective subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to make judgments, assumptions and estimates, which we believe are reasonable and prudent based on the available facts and circumstances. These judgments, assumptions and estimates affect certain of our revenues and expenses and their related balance sheet accounts and disclosure of our contingent liabilities. We base our assumptions and estimates primarily on historical experience and consider

33

known and projected trends. On an ongoing basis, we re-evaluate our selection of assumptions and the method of calculating our estimates. Actual results, however, may materially differ from our calculated estimates, and this difference would be reported in our current operations.

For a detailed description of our critical accounting estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 in our 2023 Annual Report. For a detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2023 Annual Report.

Customer Concentration

Three customers individually accounted for 25%, 22% and 8% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023. The loss of the business of one or more of our larger customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. For further discussion on our customer concentration, please refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk below.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

For further information on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting see Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Reference is made to our 2023 Annual Report and in particular Item 7A.“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk” therein. As of March 31, 2024, there were no material changes in the market risks described in our 2023 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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 or error, if any, have been detected.

34

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a defendant in various lawsuits and other pending and threatened litigation and other adversarial matters as well as regulatory investigations, all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome with respect to such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe they will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company's 2023 Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate and may be made pursuant to a trading plan intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Repurchases by the Company under the share repurchase program will be subject to general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice at the Company’s discretion.

Item 5. Other Information

(a)    During the three months ended March 31, 2024, none of our officers or directors adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement."

The Company is considering available alternatives, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to stockholder approval no later than September 28, 2024, if necessary, to regain compliance.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

General Information and Basis of Accounting

General Information and Basis of Accounting

General Information

We are a market leading provider of data analytics and technology-enabled solutions designed to bring affordability, efficiency and fairness to the U.S. healthcare industry. Through our proprietary data and technology platform, we provide out-of-network cost management, payment and revenue integrity data and decision science, business-to-business healthcare payments and other services to the payors of healthcare, which are primarily health insurers and their administrative-services-only platforms, self-insured employers, federal and state government-sponsored health plans (collectively "Payors") and other health plan sponsors (typically through their health plan administrators), and, indirectly, the plan members who are the consumers of healthcare services.

Throughout the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, "we," "us," "our", "MultiPlan", and the "Company" and similar terms refer to MultiPlan and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MultiPlan Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate and make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of MultiPlan Corporation and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been included.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from the Company's estimates. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares, valuation of stock-based compensation awards and income taxes.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making decisions. The Company's singular focus is being a leading value-added provider of data analytics and technology-enabled end-to-end cost management, payment and revenue integrity solutions to the U.S. healthcare industry.

In addition, all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents revenues disaggregated by services and contract types:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Revenues
Network-Based Services	$	46,155		$	57,195
PSAV	31,222			40,950
PEPM	13,053			14,898
Other	1,880			1,347
Analytics-Based Services	160,092			152,420
PSAV	148,615			147,340
PEPM	9,401			5,080
Other	2,076			—
Payment and Revenue Integrity Services	28,261			26,979
PSAV	28,152			26,872
PEPM	109			107
Total Revenues	$	234,508		$	236,594
Percent of PSAV revenues	88.7		%	90.9		%
Percent of PEPM revenues	9.6		%	8.5		%
Percent of other revenues	1.7		%	0.6		%

Due to the nature of our arrangements, certain estimates may be constrained if it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved. For our percentage of savings contracts, portions of revenue that are recognized and collected in a reporting period may be returned or credited in subsequent periods. These credits are the result of Payors not utilizing the discounts that were initially calculated, or differences between the Company’s estimates of savings achieved for a customer and the amounts self-reported in the following month by that same customer. Significant judgment is used in constraining estimates of variable consideration, and is based upon both customer-specific and aggregated factors that include historical billing and adjustment data, customer contractual terms, and performance guarantees. We update our estimates at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. There have not been any material changes to estimates of variable consideration for performance obligations satisfied prior to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The timing of payments from customers from time to time generates contract assets or contract liabilities, however these amounts are immaterial in all periods presented.

Derivatives

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. In September 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert some of its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows.

The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with authoritative guidance for the agreements entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects "Earnings".

Stock-Based Compensation

In 2024, the Company began granting a new type of award via the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the form of employee performance stock units ("PSUs"). The PSUs vest approximately three years after grant if certain performance metrics are met, as follows: 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return (“RTSR”) over the measurement period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 compared to the Russel 2000, and 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the cumulative revenue from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025.

The fair value assigned to PSUs is determined using the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for the performance based awards, i.e. the revenue PSUs, and by using a Monte Carlo simulation for the market based awards, i.e. the RTSR PSUs. Stock-based compensation costs associated with awards with a performance condition are re-assessed each reporting period based upon the estimated performance attainment on the reporting date until the performance conditions are met. The ultimate number of shares of common stock that are issued to an employee is the result of the actual performance of the Company at the end of the performance period compared to the performance targets and ranges from 0% to 150% of the initial PSU grant.

The Monte Carlo simulation model uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model to determine the expected potential ranking of the Company against the Russel 2000, i.e. the probability of satisfying the market condition defined in the award. Expected volatility in the model was estimated based on the volatility of historical stock prices over a period matching the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield constant maturities for a term matching the expected term of the award.

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as compensation expense for employee awards, net of forfeitures, over the applicable requisite service period of the stock award using the straight-line method for awards with only service conditions. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Certain assumptions used are subjective and require significant management judgment, and include (i) the risk-free rate, (ii) volatility, (iii) the expected term, and (iv) our assessment of actual performance in comparison to the targets set in the awards. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the grant date fair value of the PSUs and ultimately compensation expenses.

Goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

(in thousands)	2024		2023
Beginning balance, January 1	$	3,829,002	$	3,705,199
Loss on impairment	(516,350)		—
Ending balance, March 31	$	3,312,652	$	3,705,199

The goodwill arose from the acquisition of the Company in 2016 by Holdings, the HST acquisition in 2020, the DHP acquisition in 2021 and the BST acquisition in 2023. The carrying value of goodwill was $3,312.7 million and $3,829.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

We concluded that the significant declines in our stock price and market capitalization during the month of March 2024 represented a triggering event and therefore performed an impairment assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2024.

The estimated fair value of our indefinite-lived trade names was less than their carrying value and as a result a loss on impairment of $2.7 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The quantitative assessment of our goodwill as of March 31, 2024 indicated that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and as a result a loss on impairment of $516.4 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets was primarily due to the use of a higher discount rate in response to significant declines in the stock price, and lower EBITDA multiples. There were no material changes in the forecasted revenues and expenses utilized in the analysis compared to November 1, 2023.

Impairment losses are included in Loss on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. No impairment was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

In the quantitative impairment test of goodwill performed in the three months ended March 31, 2024, we calculate the estimated enterprise fair value of the reporting unit using (i) a discounted cash flow analysis, (ii) forecasted EBITDA trading multiples for comparable publicly traded companies and (iii) historical EBITDA multiples for comparable acquisitions, giving equal weight to the three approaches. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted revenues, forecasted expenses, the terminal growth rate and the discount rate. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Following the goodwill impairment the carrying value of this reporting unit equaled its fair value as of March 31, 2024. Therefore, if business conditions or expectations were to change materially, it may be necessary to record further impairment charges in the future.

The Company incurred a goodwill impairment charge of $516.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. Of this impairment charge, $490.2 million is permanently nondeductible for income tax purposes resulted in an income tax expense of $103.0 million. The impairment charge is treated as a discrete item for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which impacted our effective tax rate versus our statutory tax rate.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to interest risk on its floating rate debt. On September 12, 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $800 million to effectively convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The interest rate swap agreements are effective August 31, 2023 and mature on August 31, 2026. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the volatility of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company's floating rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. The Company's interest rate swaps are highly effective at offsetting the changes in cash outflows and therefore designated as cash flow hedging instruments.

The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, as described in Note 6 Fair Value Measurements. The gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The following table represents the activity of cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented:

(in thousands)	2024
Balance as of January 1	$	(11,778)
Unrealized gain recognized in other comprehensive income before reclassifications	6,963
Reclassifications to interest expense	1,579
Balance as of March 31, net of tax	$	(3,236)

There was no cash flow hedge activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company recognized a $1.6 million gain related to the cash flow derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The gain is recognized within interest expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.

The following table represents the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

(1)Beginning December 31, 2021 and quarterly thereafter, we will repay a principal amount of the Term Loan B equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal of $1,325.0 million. These scheduled principal repayments may be reduced by any voluntary or mandatory prepayments made in accordance with the credit agreement.

(2)Interest on Term Loan B and Revolver B is calculated, at MPH's option, as (a) Term SOFR (or, with respect to the term loan facility only, 0.50%, whichever is higher), plus the applicable SOFR adjustment, plus the applicable margin, or (b) the highest rate of (1) prime rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate, plus 0.50%, (3) the Term SOFR for an interest period of one month, plus the applicable SOFR adjustment, plus 1.00% and (4) 0.50% for Term Loan B and 1.00% for Revolver B, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 4.25% for Term Loan B and between 3.50% and 4.00% for Revolver B, depending on MPH's first lien debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio. The interest rate in effect for Term Loan B was 9.86% as of March 31, 2024.

(3)The Senior Convertible PIK Notes are convertible into shares of the Company's Class A common stock based on a $13.00 conversion price, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchased and cancelled $21.1 million of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes. The repurchases resulted in the recognition of a gain on extinguishment of $5.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which are included in gain on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the debt covenants. See our discussion of Debt Covenants and Events of Default provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Warrants and Rights Note Disclosure [Abstract]

Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares

Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares

The Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares as a liability on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as these instruments are precluded from being indexed to our own stock given the terms allow for a settlement that does not meet the scope of the fixed-for-fixed exception in Accounting Standards Codification 815.

The Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares were initially recorded at fair value on the date of consummation of the Transactions and are subsequently adjusted to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value of the Unvested Founder Shares and unvested Private Placement Warrants is obtained using a Monte Carlo model and the fair value of the remaining Private Placement Warrants is obtained using a Black Scholes model, together referenced as the "option pricing" model. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value for the founder shares until the earlier of the re-vesting or forfeiture of these instruments. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value for the Private Placement Warrants until the warrant is equity classified.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Unvested Founder Shares were:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Private Placement Warrants	$	157	$	183
Unvested Founder Shares	$	190	$	294

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the change in fair values was primarily due to the change in expected term and the decrease in the price of the Company's Class A common stock over that period. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income include (gains) losses related to the change in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value represents an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:

•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.

•Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the entity to develop its own assumptions.

Financial instruments

Certain financial instruments which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists primarily of accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included money market funds of $20.0 million, which were valued based on Level 1 measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's carrying amount and fair value of long-term debt consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Liabilities:
Term Loan B, net of discount	$	1,283,004	$	1,243,231	$	1,285,857	$	1,243,424
5.50% Senior Secured Notes	1,050,000		893,550		1,050,000		946,050
5.750% Notes	979,827		772,104		979,827		805,418
Senior Convertible PIK Notes, net of discount	1,236,459		876,649		1,256,167		869,268
Finance lease obligations	11		11		15		15
Total Liabilities	$	4,549,301	$	3,785,545	$	4,571,866	$	3,864,175

We estimate the fair value of long-term debt using quoted prices in active markets. As such, this is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement.

Recurring fair value measurements

The Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these instruments was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market which would represent a level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses an option pricing simulation to estimate the fair value of these instruments.

The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, which represents the estimated amounts it would receive or pay upon termination of the derivative prior to the scheduled expiration date. The fair value is derived from model-driven information based on observable Level 2 inputs, such as SOFR forward rates.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

We also measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill and long-lived tangible and intangible assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We estimate the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. There were impairment charges of $519.1 million for these assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and none for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Our non-marketable equity securities using the measurement alternative are adjusted to fair value on a non-recurring basis. Adjustments are made when observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer occur, or due to impairment. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the value based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date. At March 31, 2024, the carrying amount of these alternative investments, recorded under Other assets, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $15.0 million. There were no write-ups due to observable price changes or write-downs due to impairment in the current period.

Claims and Litigation

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and other pending and threatened litigation and other adversarial matters as well as regulatory investigations, all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome with respect to such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe they will result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We accrue for costs associated with certain contingencies, including, but not limited to, settlement of legal proceedings, regulatory compliance matters and self-insurance exposures when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are included in accrued legal contingencies on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we accrue for legal fees incurred in defense of asserted litigation and regulatory matters as such legal fees are incurred. To the extent it is probable under our existing insurance coverage that we are able to recover losses and legal fees related to contingencies, we record such recoveries concurrently with the accrual of the related loss or legal fees. Significant management judgment is required to estimate the amounts of such contingent liabilities and the related insurance recoveries. In our determination of the probability and ability to estimate contingent liabilities and related insurance recoveries we consider the following: litigation exposure based on currently available information, consultations with external legal counsel, adequacy and applicability of existing insurance coverage, appeal bonds or similar instrument posted, and other pertinent facts and circumstances regarding the contingency. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances change, or contingencies are resolved; and such changes are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income during the period of the change and appropriately reflected in accrued legal contingencies on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of the three months ended March 31, 2023, we have excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share the instruments whose effect would have been anti-dilutive, including (i) 58,500,000 warrants outstanding, (ii) 100,000,000 shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes, and (iii) 12,404,080 Unvested Founder Shares. Additionally, we have excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share awards within the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, whose effect would have been anti-dilutive of 15,880,120 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive given the Company's losses incurred. Therefore, the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been included.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from the Company's estimates. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of Private Placement Warrants and Unvested Founder Shares, valuation of stock-based compensation awards and income taxes.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making decisions. The Company's singular focus is being a leading value-added provider of data analytics and technology-enabled end-to-end cost management, payment and revenue integrity solutions to the U.S. healthcare industry.

In addition, all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

Due to the nature of our arrangements, certain estimates may be constrained if it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved. For our percentage of savings contracts, portions of revenue that are recognized and collected in a reporting period may be returned or credited in subsequent periods. These credits are the result of Payors not utilizing the discounts that were initially calculated, or differences between the Company’s estimates of savings achieved for a customer and the amounts self-reported in the following month by that same customer. Significant judgment is used in constraining estimates of variable consideration, and is based upon both customer-specific and aggregated factors that include historical billing and adjustment data, customer contractual terms, and performance guarantees. We update our estimates at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. There have not been any material changes to estimates of variable consideration for performance obligations satisfied prior to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The timing of payments from customers from time to time generates contract assets or contract liabilities, however these amounts are immaterial in all periods presented.

Derivatives

Derivatives

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. In September 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert some of its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows.

The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with authoritative guidance for the agreements entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects "Earnings".

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

In 2024, the Company began granting a new type of award via the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the form of employee performance stock units ("PSUs"). The PSUs vest approximately three years after grant if certain performance metrics are met, as follows: 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return (“RTSR”) over the measurement period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 compared to the Russel 2000, and 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the cumulative revenue from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025.

The fair value assigned to PSUs is determined using the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for the performance based awards, i.e. the revenue PSUs, and by using a Monte Carlo simulation for the market based awards, i.e. the RTSR PSUs. Stock-based compensation costs associated with awards with a performance condition are re-assessed each reporting period based upon the estimated performance attainment on the reporting date until the performance conditions are met. The ultimate number of shares of common stock that are issued to an employee is the result of the actual performance of the Company at the end of the performance period compared to the performance targets and ranges from 0% to 150% of the initial PSU grant.

The Monte Carlo simulation model uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model to determine the expected potential ranking of the Company against the Russel 2000, i.e. the probability of satisfying the market condition defined in the award. Expected volatility in the model was estimated based on the volatility of historical stock prices over a period matching the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield constant maturities for a term matching the expected term of the award.

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as compensation expense for employee awards, net of forfeitures, over the applicable requisite service period of the stock award using the straight-line method for awards with only service conditions. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Certain assumptions used are subjective and require significant management judgment, and include (i) the risk-free rate, (ii) volatility, (iii) the expected term, and (iv) our assessment of actual performance in comparison to the targets set in the awards. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the grant date fair value of the PSUs and ultimately compensation expenses.

New Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

New Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which provides enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard also enhances interim disclosure requirements and provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated operating results, cash flows, financial condition and related disclosures.

ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this disclosure.
