Tags

Health Catalyst (Nasdaq: HCAT) reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $70.5 million, down 13% year over year, with GAAP gross margin of 40% versus 38% a year ago. Net loss was $40.5 million, roughly flat year over year, while adjusted EBITDA was $9.9 million, up 6%. According to the company, results exceeded the high end of prior revenue guidance and the midpoint of adjusted EBITDA guidance.

The company recently closed the Vitalware divestiture and fully repaid its credit facility debt, which management said strengthens the balance sheet and increases flexibility. As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $60.6 million with $42.9 million in short-term investments, and operating cash flow for the first half was $18.8 million. Second quarter results included a $27.0 million goodwill impairment, contributing to a six‑month net loss of $151.6 million and a decline in stockholders’ equity to $100.8 million.

News Explained

The June 30 balance sheet still classified divestiture-related assets and liabilities as held for sale despite the reported closing.

The Health Catalyst release reports second-quarter results and says the Vitalware divestiture recently closed; its June 30, 2026 balance sheet nevertheless still carries $91,424 thousand of assets held for sale and $12,133 thousand of associated liabilities.

The company reports 74,598,492 common shares issued and outstanding at June 30, 2026, versus 72,027,332 at December 31, 2025.

If that increase reflects additional share issuance, dilution means an existing holder’s percentage ownership would fall absent offsetting changes.

The specific line items to check in the next balance sheet are assets held for sale, liabilities associated with assets held for sale, and common shares issued and outstanding; they would show whether the divestiture has cleared the quarter-end classification and whether the share count has changed.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, non-gaap financial measures, goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation, +1 more
5 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA | $9,919 | $9,344 | (6)%"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-gaap financial measures financial
"These measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
goodwill impairment financial
"Goodwill impairment | 27,047 | 28,769"
Goodwill impairment occurs when a company’s valued reputation or brand strength, known as goodwill, is found to be worth less than previously recorded on its financial statements. This usually happens when the company's performance declines or market conditions change, signaling that the expected benefits from acquisitions or brand value are no longer as strong. It matters to investors because it can indicate that a company's assets are less valuable than initially thought, potentially affecting its overall financial health.
stock-based compensation financial
"Stock-based compensation expense as follows"
Stock-based compensation is when a company pays employees, directors or consultants with shares or the right to buy shares instead of or in addition to cash. It matters to investors because issuing stock or options spreads ownership thinner (like cutting a pie into more slices), which can reduce each existing share’s claim on profits and can also change reported earnings; investors watch it to assess true cost of running the business and how management is incentivized.
View in glossary
regulation fd regulatory
"in order to achieve broad, non-exclusionary distribution of information"
Regulation FD is a rule that prevents company insiders, like executives, from sharing important information with some people before others get it. It matters because it helps ensure all investors have equal access to key news, making the stock market fairer and reducing chances of insider trading.

________________________
(1) These measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). See the accompanying "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for more information about these financial measures, including the limitations of such measures, and for a reconciliation of each measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Financial Outlook

Health Catalyst provides forward-looking guidance on total revenue, a GAAP measure, and Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure.

For the third quarter of 2026, we expect:

  • Total revenue of $55 million to $56 million, and
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $0 to $0.5 million.

For the full year of 2026, we expect:

  • Total revenue of $246 million to $249 million, and
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $18 million to $18.5 million.

We have not provided forward-looking guidance for net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA, and therefore have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, because there are items that may impact net loss, including stock-based compensation, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably forecasted.

Quarterly Conference Call Details

We will host a conference call to review the results today, Thursday, August 6, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. E.T.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Cost of Revenue, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share, basic and diluted, and Vitalware Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense because it is non-cash in nature and excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations, as a component in determining employee bonus compensation, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

Gross profit is a GAAP financial measure that is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue, including depreciation and amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology. We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by our revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as gross profit, adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, net, and (iv) restructuring costs, as applicable. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as our Adjusted Gross Profit divided by our revenue. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors as they eliminate the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of these measures between periods without the impact of non-cash expenses and certain other non-recurring operating expenses.

We present both of these measures for our technology and professional services business. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as these metrics generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall profitability.

The following is a reconciliation of our Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, in total and for technology and professional services, to gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) interest and other expense, net, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) acquisition-related costs, net, including the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities for potential earn-out payments, (vi) restructuring costs, (vii) goodwill impairment, and (viii) non-recurring lease-related charges, as applicable. We view acquisition-related expenses when applicable, such as transaction costs (including third-party fees associated with due diligence, deferred retention expenses, post-acquisition restructuring costs incurred as part of business combinations) and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities that are directly related to business combinations, as costs that are unpredictable, dependent upon factors outside of our control, and are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. We believe that excluding restructuring costs, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and non-recurring lease-related charges, as applicable, allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as these are separate from the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and are not part of our ongoing operations. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and a comparison with our past financial performance, and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Adjusted Cost of Revenue

Adjusted Cost of Revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as cost of revenue adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, net, and (iv) restructuring costs, as applicable. We view these adjustments to allow for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period-to-period as these are separate from the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Adjusted Cost of Revenue is also computable by subtracting Adjusted Gross Profit from revenue. We believe Adjusted Cost of Revenue provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and a comparison with our past financial performance, and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Adjusted Operating Expenses

Adjusted Operating Expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as total operating expenses adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) acquisition-related costs, net, including the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities for potential earn-out payments, (iv) goodwill impairment, and (v) restructuring costs, as applicable.

Vitalware Adjusted EBITDA

Vitalware Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as Vitalware net income adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) and acquisition-related costs. We view acquisition-related expenses when applicable, including third-party fees associated with tail insurance policies that are directly related to business combinations, as costs that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. Vitalware Adjusted EBITDA, Vitalware net income and the reconciliation below are derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial information and related records and reflects certain assumptions and adjustments that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and given the information available at this time. As a result, Vitalware Adjusted EBITDA, Vitalware net income and the reconciliation below does not necessarily reflect what Vitalware’s Adjusted EBITDA, net income, and related reconciliation would have been on a standalone basis and is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on performance as evaluated by management, and is useful in evaluating Vitalware's operating performance compared to that of other business units or companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company and business unit to business unit for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of our Vitalware Adjusted EBITDA to Vitalware net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, for the six months ended June 30, 2026:
