**McLean, VA** — February 23, 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"I am exceedingly proud of the work delivered by the Claritev team in 2025. This year marked a pivotal time in our company's history, as we returned to top line revenue growth highlighted by operational and financial execution. We expanded our vertical markets, rebranded as Claritev, launched new solutions and partnerships, and migrated our technology foundation, all of which combined to help us deliver record bookings. The Year of the Turn was an unqualified success, and we are well on our way to delivering on our theme of 2026 as The Way Up," said Travis Dalton, Chairman, CEO and President of Claritev.

Mr. Dalton added, "In 2025, our company demonstrated a mission-driven purpose to lay a foundation for growth, clarify our purpose, align and recruit talent, and focus our company and associates on key performance metrics. That combination of Clarity, Alignment and Focus, when applied against our Vision 2030, has allowed us to turn to profitable growth sooner than expected. Most importantly it has allowed us to serve our clients with solutions that deliver tangible, measurable value, as we execute on our promise to make healthcare more affordable for everyone."

Doug Garis, Claritev Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We are carrying the momentum from our strong fourth quarter and full year results into 2026. Our guidance reflects a sustainable growth model, built on a durable core business foundation, exciting expansion opportunities, and a growing pipeline across our solutions and markets. Significantly, we expect to return to positive free cash flow in 2026, allowing Claritev to focus on our primary capital allocation priorities of driving organic growth, opportunistic debt reduction, and value-creating M&A."

Additionally, the Company's Board of Directors approved a five-year share repurchase program (the "Five-Year Program") authorizing the Company to purchase up to $75.0 million of its Class A common stock from time to time in open market transactions, subject to compliance with applicable legal requirements. The Five-Year Program was approved starting January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030 and is subject to a $20.0 million limit per calendar year.

**2026 Financial Guidance**<sup>1</sup>

The Company is introducing its full-year 2026 guidance, detailed in the table below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Financial Metric** | **Full Year 2026 Guidance** |
| Revenues | $980 million to $1 billion |
| Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> | $605 million to $615 million |
| Capital expenditures<sup>2</sup> | $160 million to $170 million |
| Effective tax rate | 24% to 28% |
| Free cash flow | $0 million to $10 million |

---

<sup>1</sup> 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), transformation costs, 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.

<sup>2</sup> Capital expenditures include hosted software implementation costs that are capitalized but not classified as investing activities in the statements of cash flows.

**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 ability to successfully implement our transformation plan; the growth and expansion of our business, including our pipeline; our expectations regarding future free cash flow and use of capital; our 2026 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; 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; 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) 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 Consolidated 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 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 an financial performance measure that shows how much of its Adjusted EBITDA Claritev converts into unlevered free cash flow.
