Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 2025 calendar year or any other future interim periods. The information included in the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Form 10-K.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Well Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, those of professional corporations, which represent variable interest entities in which American Well has an interest and is the primary beneficiary (“PC”), and National Telehealth Network (“NTN”), an entity in which American Well controls fifty percent or more of the voting shares (see Note 5). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company determines the functional currency of each subsidiary based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates. Items included in the financial statements of such subsidiaries are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates and foreign currency denominated nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement and settlements are included in interest income and other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

For consolidated entities where American Well owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in each entity by the respective non-controlling party. The noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the estimated customer relationship period that is used in the amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, goodwill, the useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment and the valuation of common stock awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Segment Information

Segment Information

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), its Chief Executive Officer, is provided financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. In addition, substantially all of the Company’s revenue and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). These evaluations are complex and involve judgment. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual or ownership interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates such entity in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Management performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively.

The aggregate carrying value of total assets and total liabilities included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the PCs after elimination of intercompany transactions were $29,127 and $281, respectively, as of June 30, 2025 and $34,050 and $2,053, respectively as of December 31, 2024.

Total revenue included on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the PCs after elimination of intercompany transactions was $7,887 and $15,442 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net loss included on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss was not material for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Total revenue included on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the PCs after elimination of intercompany transactions was $17,554 and $33,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net loss included on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss was not material for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Inventories

The Company values all of its inventories, which consist primarily of raw material hardware components, at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”). Write-offs of potentially slow moving or damaged inventory are recorded through specific identification of obsolete or damaged material.

Investment in Minority Owned Joint Venture

Investment in Minority Owned Joint Venture

In 2019, the Company and Cleveland Clinic partnered to form a joint venture, under the name CCAW, JV LLC, to provide broad access to comprehensive and high acuity care services via digital care delivery. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the companies determined that these care services could be provided through partnering between the two entities and that the joint venture was no longer necessary to achieve care delivery. Therefore, the joint venture will wind down during the second half of 2025. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest in CCAW, JV LLC, but it does have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of CCAW, JV LLC. Therefore, the Company accounts for its investment in CCAW, JV LLC using the equity method of accounting. The joint venture is considered a variable interest entity under ASC 810-10, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities of the joint venture that most significantly impact its performance. The Company’s evaluation of ability to impact performance is based on Cleveland Clinic’s managing directors and Cleveland Clinic’s ability to appoint and remove the chairperson who has the ability to cast the tie breaking vote on the most significant activities.

In 2020, the Company contributed $2,940 as its initial investment for a 49% interest in CCAW, JV LLC. The agreement also required aggregate total capital contributions by the Company up to an additional $11,800 in two phases. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not make any capital contributions. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made a capital contribution of $1,715, of which $0 was contributed in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $722 and $774 as its proportionate share of the joint venture’s results of operations, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $1,500 and $1,700 as its proportionate share of the joint venture’s results of operations, respectively. Accordingly, the carrying value of the equity method investment as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $- and $1,500, respectively.

Simple Agreement for Future Equity

Simple Agreement for Future Equity

On March 11, 2025, the Company made a minority investment of $1,000 in Aingelz, Inc. (“Aingelz”) utilizing a Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFE"). The SAFE provides the Company with the right to participate in future equity financings of the entity and will automatically convert into shares of preferred stock at a discount price or conversion price as defined in the agreement. This investment is a minority investment, intended to support artificial intelligence development. The Company has no control in this entity.

The SAFE is accounted for under measurement alternative in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 321, Investments — Equity Securities, which is cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Each period the Company assesses relevant transactions to identify observable price changes, and the Company regularly monitors these investments to evaluate whether there is an indication of impairment. The Company evaluates whether an investment’s fair value is less than its carrying value using an estimate of fair value, if such an estimate is available. For periods in which there is no estimate of fair value, the Company evaluates whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the value of the investment. Changes in the fair value of the investment are recorded as net appreciation in fair value of investment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2025, the investment in Aingelz was $1,000, and is included in Other Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has not recognized any upward or downward adjustments resulting from observable price changes in identical or similar investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Clients

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Clients

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. The Company invests its excess cash with large financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in highly rated money market funds. At times, the Company’s cash balances with individual banking institutions are in excess of federally insured limits. The Company’s investments are invested in U.S. government agency bonds. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash, cash equivalents or investments. The Company does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

The Company performs ongoing assessments and credit evaluations of its clients to assess the collectability of the accounts based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience, age of the accounts receivable, review of the invoicing terms of the contracts, and recent communication with clients. The Company has not experienced significant credit losses from its accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2025, two clients accounted for 50% and 12% respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable, and as of December 31, 2024, two clients accounted for 47% and 13% of outstanding accounts receivable.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, sales to two clients represented 33% and 26% of the Company’s total revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, sales to two clients represented 28% and 25% of the Company's total revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, sales to one client represented 26% and 28% of the Company's total revenue, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods deemed appropriate for the type of intangible asset acquired and reported net of accumulated amortization, separately from goodwill. Definite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of customer relationships, contractor relationships, technology and trade name, are stated at historical cost and amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are re-evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their estimated useful lives may require revision and/or the carrying value of the related asset group may not be recoverable by its projected undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value of the asset group is determined to be unrecoverable, an impairment charge would be recognized in an amount equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value. The Company did not identify a triggering event in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. No impairments were identified during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment and intangible assets. Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets, among others. When testing for asset impairment, the Company groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset group for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset group to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group are less than the asset’s carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair value. The Company did not identify a triggering event in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. No impairments were identified during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
