Insights

CorVel delivered mid-single-digit revenue growth with stronger EPS gains and a net cash position.

CorVel posted fiscal 2026 revenue of $958.5M, up 7%, while diluted EPS rose to $2.14 from $1.83 as operating income increased. The March quarter showed similar trends with revenue of $248.5M and diluted EPS of $0.61, up 20% year over year.

Profitability benefited from higher gross profit of $63.0M at a 25% margin in the quarter and income from operations of $39.7M. The balance sheet shows $233.1M in cash and no borrowings as of March 31, 2026, alongside ongoing share repurchases of $20.1M in the quarter.

The release notes strong demand for CERIS prepay and post-pay platforms and continued AI and automation investment across healthcare payment integrity and P&C services. Actual future performance will depend on execution of these large payer implementations and the broader healthcare and workers’ compensation spending environment.

gross profit financial
"Gross profit increased 9% to $63.0 million, at 25% gross margin"
Gross profit is the amount a business keeps from sales after subtracting the direct costs to make or buy the products or services sold — like the money left from a lemonade stand after paying for lemons, sugar and cups. Investors watch gross profit to judge how well a company’s core operations and pricing cover those direct costs, revealing its basic profitability and whether margins are improving or shrinking over time.
earnings per share financial
"Earnings per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 were $2.14"
Earnings per share represent the amount of profit a company makes for each share of its stock, similar to how a pie’s total size can be divided into slices for each person. It helps investors understand how profitable the company is on a per-share basis, making it easier to compare its performance over time or against other companies. Higher earnings per share generally indicate better profitability and can influence a company's stock value.
treasury stock financial
"Treasury stock | | | (887,716,000 | ) | | | (831,510,000 | )"
Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.
right-of-use asset financial
"Right-of-use asset, net | | | 21,164,000 | | | | 20,825,000 |"
A right-of-use asset is the value a company records on its balance sheet for the practical use of something it leases — like the benefit of living in a rented office or using leased equipment for a set period. Investors care because it turns many leases into on-balance-sheet assets and matching liabilities, which can change reported leverage, asset base and performance metrics much like taking on a loan would.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"All statements included in this press release, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Earnings per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 were $2.14, up 17% compared to $1.83 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.61, up 20% compared to $0.51 in the same quarter of the prior year.

 

Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights

 

Revenue increased 7% to $249 million, compared to fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Gross profit increased 9% to $63.0 million, at 25% gross margin, compared to fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 gross profit of $58.0 million.
Exited the quarter with $233 million of cash, cash equivalents, and no borrowings.
The Company repurchased $20.1 million of common stock during the quarter.

CERIS, CorVel’s health division, is benefiting from the healthcare industry’s shift toward proactive payment accuracy and cost management, with strong demand for its integrated prepay and post-pay platform that improves claims accuracy, reduces administrative burden, and enhances revenue visibility. During the quarter, multiple large payer sales with enterprise-scale implementations reflect the strength of the value proposition and provide increased revenue visibility as they are deployed and scaled over time. As adoption of prepay solutions expands, CERIS is accelerating revenue realization cycles while maintaining strong margin profiles, supported by ongoing investment in AI and automation.

 

Within workers’ compensation and risk management, P&C services are advancing its technology-enabled, clinically integrated model through the CorVel ConnectedTM interface within its proprietary CareMC platform. By combining AI, real-time data integration, and embedded clinical expertise, CorVel is improving decision-making support, operational efficiency, and claim outcomes across the lifecycle of a claim. Ongoing investments in automation, telemedicine, cybersecurity, and API-driven connectivity further strengthen scalability and the Company’s ability to deliver consistent clinical and financial results for its partners in environments where reliability, control, and measurable outcomes are critical.
