Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization: CorVel Corporation (“CorVel” or “the Company”), incorporated in Delaware in 1987, is an independent nationwide provider of medical cost containment and managed care services designed to address the escalating medical costs of workers’ compensation benefits, automobile insurance claims, and group health insurance benefits. The Company’s services are provided to insurance companies, TPAs, governmental entities, and self-administered employers to assist them in managing the medical costs and monitoring the quality of care associated with healthcare claims. Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CorVel and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These changes had no impact on previously-reported results of operations or shareholders’ equity. The Company evaluated all subsequent events and transactions through the date of this filing. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the values assigned to intangible assets, capitalized software development, the allowance for expected credit losses, work in process, accrual for income taxes, share-based payments related to performance-based awards, loss contingencies, estimated lives of claims for claims administration revenue recognition, estimates used in stock options valuations, and accrual for self-insurance reserves. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, interest-bearing highly-liquid investment-grade securities with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values at March 31, 2025 and 2024 due to the short-term nature of those instruments. Customer deposits represent cash that is expected to be returned or applied towards payment within one year through the Company’s provider reimbursement services. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company applies ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and provides for disclosures about fair value measurements, with respect to fair value measurements of (i) nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) and (ii) all financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 (for example, quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets); and Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in estimating the value of the asset. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments (i.e. cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, etc.) approximates their fair values at March 31, 2025 and 2024, due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The Company has no financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be entitled to in exchange for those services. As the Company completes its performance obligations which are identified in Note 2, it has an unconditional right to consideration as outlined in the Company’s contracts. Generally, the Company’s billed accounts receivable are expected to be collected in 30 days in accordance with the underlying payment terms. For many of the Company’s services, the Company typically has one performance obligation; however, it also provides the customer with an option to acquire additional services. The Company offers multiple services under its patient management and network solutions service lines. The Company typically provides a menu of offerings from which the customer may choose to purchase. The price of each service is separate and distinct and provides a separate and distinct value to the customer. Pricing is generally consistent for each service irrespective of the other services or quantities requested by the customer Accounts Receivable: The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from companies in the property and casualty insurance industries, self-insured employers and governmental entities. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for expected credit losses. Those accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the reserve when they become uncollectible. Accounts receivable includes $46,493,000 and $42,417,000 of unbilled receivables at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unbilled receivables represent the amounts expected to be collected for work performed which has not yet been invoiced to the customer. Unbilled receivables are generally invoiced within one year. Concentrations of Credit Risk: Substantially all of the Company’s customers are payors of workers’ compensation benefits and property and casualty insurance, which include insurance companies, third party administrators, self-insured employers and government entities. Credit losses consistently have been within management’s expectations. Virtually all of the Company’s cash is invested at financial institutions in amounts which exceed the FDIC insurance levels. No customer accounte d for 10% or more of revenue for fiscal 2025, 2024 or 2023. Two customers accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and one customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024. Segment Reporting: Based on the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker’s (“CODM”) review and assessment of the Company’s operations for purposes of performance monitoring and resource allocation, the Company determined that its operations and the decisions to allocate resources and deploy capital are organized and managed on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, management has identified one operating segment, which is its reportable segment, under this organizational and reporting structure. Property and Equipment: Additions to property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company provides for depreciation on property and equipment using the straight-line method by charges to operations in amounts that allocate the cost of depreciable assets over their estimated lives as follows:
Asset Classification Building Building Improvements Land Improvements | Estimated Useful Life 40 years 20 years 20 years
Leasehold Improvements | Shorter of 5 years or the life of lease
Furniture and Equipment | 5 to 7 years
Computer Hardware | 2 to 5 years
Computer Software | 3 to 5 years
The Company accounts for internally-developed software costs in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software”. Capitalized software development costs, intended for internal use, totaled $42,756,000 (net of $170,041,000 in accumulated amortization) and $37,166,000 (net of $155,998,000 in accumulated amortization), as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These costs are included in computer software in property and equipment and are amortized over a period of five years. Long-Lived Assets: The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or to the unamortized balance is warranted. Such evaluation is based principally on the expected utilization of the long-lived assets and the projected, undiscounted cash flows of the operations in which the long-lived assets are deployed. Leases: The Company determines if an arrangement includes a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term; and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease, renewal date of the lease or significant remodeling of the lease space based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities, as applicable. Operating and financing lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which we could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. The Company’s leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise any such options. Operating lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Long-Lived Assets: The Company accounts for its business combinations in accordance with the ASC 805-10 through ASC 805-50, “Business Combinations,” which (i) requires that the purchase method of accounting be applied to all business combinations and (ii) addresses the criteria for initial recognition of intangible assets and goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350-10 through ASC 350-30, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill or an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized. Based on the Company’s tests and reviews, no impairment of its goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets existed at March 31, 2025 and 2024. However, future events or changes in current circumstances could affect the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and long-lived assets. Cost of Revenues: Cost of services consists primarily of the compensation and fringe benefits of field personnel, including managers, medical bill analysts, field case managers, telephonic case managers, systems support, administrative support, account managers and account executives, and related facility costs including rent, telephone and office supplies. Historically, the costs associated with these additional personnel and facilities have been the most significant factor driving increases in the Company’s cost of services. Income Taxes: The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with provisions specified in ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Accordingly, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. These differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. In making an assessment regarding the probability of realizing a benefit from these deductible differences, management considers the Company’s current and past performance, the market environment in which the Company operates, tax-planning strategies and the length of carry-forward periods for loss carry-forwards, if any. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. Further, the Company accrues for income tax issues not yet resolved with federal, state and local tax authorities, when it appears more likely than not that a tax liability has been incurred. Share-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company issues performance-based stock options which vest only upon the Company’s achievement of certain earnings per share targets on a calendar year basis, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. These options were valued in the same manner as the time-based options. However, the Company only recognizes stock compensation expense to the extent that the targets are determined to be probable of being achieved, which triggers the vesting of the performance options. Accrual for Self-insurance Costs: The Company self-insures for the group medical costs and workers’ compensation costs of its employees. Management believes that the self-insurance reserves are appropriate; however, actual claims costs may differ from the original estimates requiring adjustments to the reserves. The Company determines its estimated self-insurance reserves based upon historical trends along with outstanding claims information provided by its claims paying agents. Earnings per Share: Earnings per common share-basic is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per common shares-diluted is based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. In calculating earnings per share, earnings are the same for the basic and diluted calculations. Weighted average shares outstanding is greater for diluted earnings per share due to the effect of stock options. The difference between the basic weighted average shares and the diluted weighted average shares for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:
|  | Fiscal 2025 |  |  | Fiscal 2024 |  |  | Fiscal 2023 |
Basic weighted average shares |  |  | 51,379,000 |  |  |  | 51,366,000 |  |  |  | 51,984,000 |
Treasury stock impact of stock options |  |  | 615,000 |  |  |  | 675,000 |  |  |  | 792,000 |
Diluted weighted average shares |  |  | 51,994,000 |  |  |  | 52,041,000 |  |  |  | 52,776,000 |
During fiscal 2025, the Company effected a three-for-one forward stock split of its common stock. All prior period share, equity award and per share amounts and calculations in these consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this annual report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to require disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expense line items, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, a new accounting standard to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application required. The Company adopted this pronouncement retrospectively in the fiscal year of 2025 and provided required disclosures in Note 12 Segment Reporting to the consolidated financial statements.
