Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented a clear improvement in financial performance and commercial momentum: Q4 revenue and adjusted EBITDA grew, Q4 free cash flow was strong, bookings and ACV metrics improved materially, new product capabilities (Network Builder) and AI strategy were highlighted, and management provided constructive 2026 guidance and deleveraging plans. Headwinds include $18M of non-recurring 2025 revenue that will not repeat, an elevated leverage level (7.7x), full-year free cash flow that was still slightly negative, a meaningful shift of some costs from CapEx to OpEx ($10M–$15M), and substantial planned CapEx ($160M–$170M). On balance, the positives around profitable growth, record bookings, margin durability, and forward guidance modestly outweigh the near-term financial and operational challenges.Company Guidance
Q4 Revenue Growth
Total revenue in Q4 was $246.6M, up 6.2% year-over-year, demonstrating durable top-line momentum entering 2026.

Management cited a record Q4 bookings figure ($23M per management comments) and finished the year with $67M in ACV booked, closed 650+ opportunities, closed 100+ deals >$100k (up 30%), and improved average deal size by ~50% year-over-year.
Positive 2026 Financial Guidance
Initiated 2026 revenue guidance of $980M–$1.0B (2%–4% growth vs. 2025; 4%–6% ex-$18M one-time 2025 revenue), adjusted EBITDA guidance of $605M–$615M (61%–62% margins), and free cash flow guidance of $0M–$10M.

Launched Network Builder (automated curation of Claritev's 1.4M-provider network), expanded internationally with two Middle East clients, acquired 30 new logos across verticals in 2025, and completed a small tuck-in acquisition in November.
AI and Digital Transformation Focus
Published an AI strategy brief and emphasized embedding AI into workflows (examples: surprise billing, payment & revenue integrity, credentialing automation), positioning AI as a competitive differentiator.
Improving Leverage Profile
Net leverage improved to 7.7x, nearly a half-turn better than at the time of the prior debt-refinancing, signaling progress on deleveraging.
