Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

Goodwill has an estimated indefinite life and is not amortized; rather, it is reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Our annual goodwill impairment review occurs on October 31 of each fiscal year. We evaluate qualitative factors that could cause us to believe the estimated fair value of our reporting unit may be lower than the carrying value and trigger a quantitative assessment, including, but not limited to (i) macroeconomic conditions, (ii) industry and market considerations, (iii) our overall financial performance, including an analysis of our current and projected cash flows, revenues and earnings, (iv) a sustained decrease in share price and (v) other relevant entity-specific events including changes in management, strategy, partners, or litigation.

2024 Goodwill Impairment Test

The Company elected to forego the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment of the goodwill impairment test for our sole reporting unit. To determine the implied fair value for our single reporting unit, we used a discounted cash flow valuation approach (“income approach”). In determining the estimated fair value using the income approach, we projected future cash flows based on management’s estimates and long-term plans and applied a discount rate based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. This analysis required us to make judgments about revenues, expenses, fixed asset and working capital requirements, applicable tax rates, capital market assumptions and other subjective inputs. In our quantitative assessment, the most sensitive assumption related to the income approach, other than the projected cash flows, was the discount rate. A significant increase in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value. The concluded fair value under the income approach exceeded carrying value of consolidated total assets by approximately $336.0 million, or 13.6%, as of October 31, 2024. As fair value was greater than carrying value under the income approach, goodwill was not impaired as of October 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, Evolent assessed whether there were events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its

goodwill below its carrying amount and require an additional impairment test. The Company determined there had been no such indicators. Therefore, it was unnecessary to perform an additional goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2025.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $16.8 million and $22.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Future estimated amortization of intangible assets (in thousands) as of March 31, 2025, is as follows:


2025	$	50,327
2026	66,853
2027	64,111
2028	52,177
2029	49,764
Thereafter	384,649
Total future amortization of intangible assets	$	667,881

As part of the organizational changes as a result of growth in our value-based specialty care business, we sunset several corporate trade names and replace them with Evolent signifying our adoption and launch of a unified brand. As a result, we accelerated amortization such that all corporate trade names were fully amortized by December 2024.

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate the Company may not be able to recover the assets’ carrying value. We did not identify any circumstances during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that require an impairment test for our intangible assets.
