Claritev Corporation (“Claritev” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MPLN),
formerly known as MultiPlan, a technology, data and insights
company focused on making healthcare more affordable, transparent
and fair for all, today reported financial results for the fourth
quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.
Chairman, CEO and President Travis Dalton said, “We are
celebrating the rebranding launch of our new company name, which
signals our turn in the transformation journey to becoming a
market-leading health technology organization. I am extremely proud
of our talented team of leaders and associates whose rigor and
discipline have laid the foundation for our way up and forward. By
focusing our purpose-built solutions across the healthcare
ecosystem — including payors, employers, patients, providers and
third parties — we aim to make healthcare more affordable for
all.”
“We are happy with the outcome of our debt refinancing that
closed last month with an aggregate 99.75% participation in the
exchanges. Not only does it free up our runway and some internal
resources to focus on our multi-year journey ahead, but it
reinforces the level of confidence our investors have in the Vision
2030 plan that we outlined and our renewed team’s ability to
execute.”
Mr. Dalton concluded, “As I shared on our last earnings call,
our expectation that fourth quarter results would mirror our third
quarter results rang true, with a slight beat on sequential revenue
and consistent adjusted EBITDA. As we start The Turn in 2025, we
are working to stabilize the single-client impact and enhance our
core solutions, all while staying focused on being product-led,
partner-enabled and technology-driven. Our 2025 guidance reflects
our view on the balancing of all these elements. I am optimistic
for our future and look forward to reporting out on the progress of
our journey and the great milestones along the way.”

1 We have not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA
guidance included above to the most directly comparable GAAP
measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due
to the variability and low visibility with respect to certain
costs, the most significant of which are incentive compensation
(including stock-based compensation), transformation-related
expenses, certain fair value measurements, which are potential
adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these
items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially
significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes statements that express our and our
subsidiaries’ opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives,
assumptions or projections regarding future events or future
results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking
statements”. These forward-looking statements can generally be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the
terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,”
“projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will” or
“should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or
comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include
all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number
of places throughout this press release, including, but not limited
to, statements relating to our ability to execute on our
transformation plan, the anticipated benefits of our transformation
plan, the anticipated benefits of our debt refinancing, our 2025
outlook and guidance, and the long-term prospects of the Company.
Such forward-looking statements are based on available current
market information and management’s expectations, beliefs and
forecasts concerning future events impacting the business. Although
we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions at the time they are made, you should be
aware that these forward-looking statements involve a number of
risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or
other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to
be materially different from those expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. These factors include: loss of our
clients, particularly our largest clients; interruptions or
security breaches of our information technology systems and other
cybersecurity attacks; the ability to achieve the goals of our
strategic plans and recognize the anticipated strategic,
operational, growth and efficiency benefits when expected; our
ability to enter new lines of business and broaden the scope of our
services; the loss of key members of our management team or
inability to maintain sufficient qualified personnel; our ability
to continue to attract, motivate and retain a large number of
skilled employees, and adapt to the effects of inflationary
pressure on wages; trends in the U.S. healthcare system, including
recent trends of unknown duration of reduced healthcare utilization
and increased patient financial responsibility for services;
effects of competition; effects of pricing pressure; our ability to
identify, complete and successfully integrate acquisitions; the
inability of our clients to pay for our services; changes in our
industry and in industry standards and technology; our ability to
protect proprietary information, processes and applications; our
ability to maintain the licenses or right of use for the software
we use; our inability to expand our network infrastructure; our
ability to obtain additional financing; our ability to pay interest
and principal on our notes and other indebtedness; lowering or
withdrawal of our credit ratings; adverse outcomes related to
litigation or governmental proceedings; inability to preserve or
increase our existing market share or the size of our preferred
provider organization networks; decreases in discounts from
providers; pressure to limit access to preferred provider networks;
changes in our regulatory environment, including healthcare law and
regulations; the expansion of privacy and security laws; heightened
enforcement activity by government agencies; the possibility that
we may be adversely affected by other political, economic,
business, and/or competitive factors; changes in accounting
principles or the incurrence of impairment charges; other factors
disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
filings; and other factors beyond our control.
The forward-looking statements contained in this press release
are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future
developments and their potential effects on our business. There can
be no assurance that future developments affecting our business
will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking
statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which
are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual
results or performance to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those
factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents filed or to be filed with
the SEC by us. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary in material respects from those projected
in these forward-looking statements.
We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as may be required under
applicable securities laws.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial
measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow,
Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Adjusted cash conversion ratio. A
non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as a numerical
measure of a company’s financial or operating performance that
excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most
directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Unlevered Free Cash
Flow and Adjusted cash conversion ratio are supplemental measures
of Claritev’s performance that are not required by or presented in
accordance with GAAP. These measures are not measurements of our
financial or operating performance under GAAP, have limitations as
analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an
alternative to net (loss) income, cash flows or any other measures
of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA represents net (loss) income before interest expense,
interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation,
amortization of intangible assets, and non-income taxes. Adjusted
EBITDA is EBITDA as further adjusted by certain items as described
in the table below.
In addition, in evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA you should
be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the
adjustments in the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The
presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed
as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by
unusual or non-recurring items. The calculations of EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies. Based on our industry and debt
financing experience, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
are customarily used by investors, analysts and other interested
parties to provide useful information regarding a company’s ability
to service and/or incur indebtedness.
We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and
analysts in assessing our operating performance during the periods
these charges were incurred on a consistent basis with the periods
during which these charges were not incurred. Both EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you
should not consider either in isolation, or as a substitute for
analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the
limitations are:
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash
requirements for, our working capital needs;
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, or
the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal
payments on our debt;
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or
the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and
- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
the tangible assets being depreciated will often have to be
replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not
reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
Claritev’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be
construed as an inference that our future results and financial
position will be unaffected by unusual items.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating
activities less capital expenditures, all as disclosed in the
Statements of Cash Flows. Unlevered Free Cash Flow is defined as
net cash provided by operating activities less capital
expenditures, plus cash interest paid, all as disclosed in the
Statements of Cash Flows. Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash
Flow are measures of our operational performance used by management
to evaluate our business after purchases of property and equipment
and, in the case of Unlevered Free Cash Flow, prior to the impact
of our capital structure. Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash
Flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a
substitute for, consolidated net income as a measure of our
performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a
measure of our liquidity. Additionally, Claritev’s definitions of
Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow are limited, in that
they do not represent residual cash flows available for
discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measures do
not deduct the payments required for debt service, in the case of
Unlevered Free Cash Flow, and other contractual obligations or
payments made for business acquisitions.
Adjusted cash conversion ratio is defined as Unlevered Free Cash
Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Claritev believes that the
presentation of the Adjusted cash conversion ratio provides useful
information to investors because it is an financial performance
measure that shows how much of its Adjusted EBITDA Claritev
converts into Unlevered Free Cash Flow.
