Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

- Moderate pointRevenue grew 9.1% to $268.3 million in Q3 2026.

Filing Explained
The 8-K furnishes Claritev’s Q3 results; free cash flow is operating cash after capital spending, net of disposal proceeds, and before debt service or other contractual payments, so the reported negative free cash flow is not cash left for discretionary use.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA as further adjusted by certain items"
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.
free cash flow financial
"net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
unlevered free cash flow financial
"plus cash interest paid"
Unlevered free cash flow is the cash a company generates from its core business after paying operating costs and reinvesting in the business, but before any interest or debt repayments. It shows how much cash would be available to all providers of capital—owners and lenders alike—and helps investors compare underlying business performance and value companies without the distortion of different debt levels, like judging a car’s fuel efficiency before adding cargo weight.
adjusted cash conversion ratio financial
"unlevered free cash flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA"

McLean, VA — November 9, 2026 — Claritev Corporation ("Claritev" or the "Company") (NYSE: CTEV), a technology, data and insights company focused on making healthcare more affordable, transparent and fair for all, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
"This quarter captured what we mean by delivering on our promises," said Travis Dalton, Chairman, CEO and President of Claritev. "Our teams executed with focus, our clients responded to the value we are bringing them, and results came in ahead of our expectations. What stands out most to me is the breadth of what our team is delivering: growth across our solutions and our verticals, and an innovation engine, including dozens of AI agents already at work inside our workflows, that is raising the bar for how we serve our clients."
Mr. Dalton added, "Our recent Client Conference made that momentum tangible. Clients saw Transparency-Based Pricing, our Healthcare Intelligence platform, and expanded Medicare Advantage offerings, along with a preview of what else is on our roadmap. More importantly, it was a chance for us to listen and hear where they need us most. People sometimes describe Claritev as a transformation or a turnaround story. I describe it differently: Claritev is a growth company, and that is evident in our numbers, in our culture, and in our confidence."
"Our third-quarter performance reinforces our belief in the trajectory of the business and gives us the conviction to raise our current full-year outlook and introduce an early view of 2027," said Doug Garis, Chief Financial Officer of Claritev. "It’s clear, our diversification strategy is working and delivering strong financial results. We are now running approximately a year ahead of our March 2026 Investor Day plan, with preliminary 2027 revenue expectations of $1.1 billion. With increasing top-line momentum, we intend to continue investing in innovation and growth, while maintaining our focus on profitability and improving free cash flow conversion."

1 We have not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance included above to the most directly comparable GAAP (as defined below) 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), transaction-related expenses, and 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 contains forward-looking statements regarding our opinions, beliefs, projections, business plans and expectations. These forward-looking statements may differ materially from actual results due to a variety of factors and 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 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 deliver anticipated results; our technology and AI initiatives; our product development efforts, including the commercialization of new solutions; the anticipated growth of our business, including our expansion into new markets and verticals; our 2026 outlook and guidance; our preliminary 2027 revenue target and related expectations; 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, or a significant reduction in the work we do for, our clients, particularly our largest clients; 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 solutions; 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; the inability of our clients to pay for our solutions; changes in our industry and in industry standards and technology; adverse outcomes related to litigation or governmental proceedings; interruptions or security breaches of our information technology systems and other cybersecurity attacks; our ability to maintain the licenses or right of use for the software we use; our ability to protect proprietary information, processes and applications; our inability to expand our network infrastructure; 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; our ability to obtain additional financing or capital to meet our objectives; our ability to pay interest and principal on our notes and other indebtedness; lowering or withdrawal of our credit ratings; changes in accounting principles or the incurrence of impairment charges; the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other political, economic, business, and/or competitive factors; 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 undertake no obligation to update these statements as a result of new information or 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, cash flows or any other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA represents net loss 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, net of proceeds from disposal, all as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Unlevered free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposal, plus cash interest paid, all as disclosed in the condensed consolidated 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 a financial performance measure that shows how much of its Adjusted EBITDA Claritev converts into unlevered free cash flow.
