Challenges Ahead
- Revenue outlook for Q3 2024 is impacted by an expected one-time true-down related to the narrower risk scope in certain markets.
- Beginning in August, the company is reallocating certain engineering expenses towards the Machinify roll out, which will have a temporary effect of lowering the software capitalization rate and increasing operating expenses by $5 million, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2024.
- This temporary shift of dollars from capitalized expenses to operating expenses is expected to reduce Adjusted EBITDA.
- The company prioritized setting the appropriate rates for the balance of 2024 and for 2025 over retrospective rate increases based on the partnership dynamics with payers under pressure.
- Actual results may differ materially due to various risks and uncertainties.
