What Evolent Health, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
Evolent Health's revenue is concentrated in a handful of health-plan and government partners: Molina Healthcare was 25.7% of 2025 consolidated revenue, Cook County Health 16.4%, and a third Florida payer also topped 10% — so losing or shrinking any of these relationships bites hard, as seen in a 26.6% ($678.5 million) revenue decline in 2025. Compounding it is how it earns: under its Performance Suite it signs risk-based contracts assuming responsibility for the cost of care, so adverse medical-cost trends drive a volatile medical expense ratio (80.5% in 2025) and claims above expectations become its losses. That sits atop a leveraged balance sheet — convertible notes due 2029 and 2031 plus a $175 million term loan — and an extensive web of healthcare regulation, from Stark and anti-kickback laws to the IRA's Medicare drug-pricing changes.

In its own words
What could break it.
Customer concentration
- Molina ~25.7% and Cook County Health ~16.4% of revenue (plus a third Florida payer ≥10%) — heavy health-plan-partner concentrationhigh
Evolent's revenue is concentrated in a few health-plan/government 'partners' — Molina Healthcare was 25.7% of consolidated revenue in 2025, Cook County Health and Hospitals System 16.4%, and a third Florida payer also exceeded 10% — so loss of, or reduced volume from, any of these partners (or non-renewal of risk-based contracts) would materially hurt revenue, as already seen in the 26.6% ($678.5M) revenue decline in 2025. (Molina and Cook County captured as named edges; the third Florida partner is recorded here.)
“The following table summarizes those partners who represented at least 10.0% of our consolidated revenue: For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Molina Healthcare, Inc. 25.7% 13.7% 13.5% Cook County Health and Hospitals System 16.4% 11.5% 15.7%”

Liquidity & debt
- convertible notes (2029/2031), $175M term loan + $50M revolver, and a 26.6% revenue decline straining the leveraged balance sheetmedium
Evolent carries meaningful debt — convertible senior notes due 2029 and 2031 (it issued $166.8M of 2031 Notes in August 2025 to repurchase ~$167.4M of 2025 Notes) plus a $175.0M initial term loan and $50.0M asset-based revolver — and its 2025 revenue fell 26.6% ($678.5M); servicing and refinancing this leverage amid declining revenue, conversion-feature dilution and covenant requirements creates liquidity and capital-structure risk.
“a total of $ 166.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes were issued at an issue price of 100.00 % of par. On August 21, 2025, using proceeds from the sale of the 2031 Notes plus available liquidity, the Company repurchased approximately $ 167.4 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Notes”

Regulatory & policy
- extensive healthcare regulation — Stark Law, anti-kickback, False Claims Act, antitrust, No Surprises Act, ACA, and IRA Medicare drug-price changesmedium
Evolent operates under extensive, complex and rapidly evolving federal/state healthcare laws — the Stark self-referral law, anti-kickback statutes, the False Claims Act (qui tam), antitrust laws, state insurance laws, the No Surprises Act price-transparency rules, the ACA, and the Inflation Reduction Act's Medicare Part D/B drug-price negotiation and benefit redesign — and any failure to comply, or adverse regulatory change, could require business-practice changes, penalties or impair its risk-based and value-based-care model.
“Our business is subject to extensive, complex and rapidly evolving federal and state laws and regulations. Various federal and state agencies have discretion to issue regulations and interpret and enforce health care laws.”
Other disclosures
- performance-based (risk-bearing) contracts — Evolent assumes cost-of-care risk; medical-expense-ratio (MER) volatilitylow
Under its Performance Suite, Evolent enters performance-based, risk-based contracts in which it assumes financial responsibility for the cost of care (ranging from gain-share to substantially all of the cost), so adverse medical-cost trends drive its medical expense ratio — 80.5% in 2025 (89.0% excluding Evolent Care Partners), improved from 82.3%/96.0% — and if claims exceed expectations, Evolent bears the loss, making underwriting/MER risk a core, volatile exposure that has pressured results.
““performance-based” means risk-based contracts with our partners wherein Evolent assumes financial responsibility for the cost of care, which may range from upside and downside gain share to all, or substantially all, of t”
