Filing evidence summary

Constructive evidenceCoverage 5/5 core metrics

Operating margin changed -0.6 percentage points from the prior annual period.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • Operating margin was stable

    Operating margin changed -0.6 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • No current rule-based risk flags

    11 filing-based checks were evaluable.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +11.9% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $183M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2025-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding.

Acquisitions 2026 Acquisition On June 3, 2026, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests of Akusus Holdings Limited, the parent company of RelateCare (RelateCare). RelateCare is a provider of AI-enabled clinical and patient access solutions. The results of operations of the acquired business are included within our consolidated financial statements and results of operations of our Healthcare segment as of the acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Contract assets and contract liabilities acquired are recorded at the value calculated under Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers as if we had entered into the original contract at the same date and on the same terms as the acquired company. The acquisition date values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition are considered preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the date of the acquisition. We believe that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the preliminary values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed but certain items, such as the valuations of the intangible assets and deferred taxes and purchase price adjustments, among other items, may be subject to change as additional information is received. Thus, the provisional measurements of assets acquired, including goodwill, and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition are subject to change. We expect to finalize the valuations as

Fair value · 15,934 characters as filed

"Fair Value of Financial Instruments Certain of our assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value and requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows: Level 1 Inputs Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Inputs Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The table below sets forth our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and largely reflects the expanded market opportunities expected from combining the service offerings of Huron and RelateCare, as well as the assembled workforce of RelateCare. All of the $18.3 million of goodwill is expected to be nondeductible for tax purposes.

ncome Taxes For the three months ended June 30, 2026, our effective tax rate was 27.2% as we recognized income tax expense of $11.7 million on income of $42.9 million. The effective tax rate of 27.2% was less favorable than the statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes, of 26.0%, primarily due to certain nondeductible expense items and the inability to recognize tax benefits related to certain foreign and capital losses, partially offset by a tax benefit related to non-taxable gains on our investments used to fund our deferred compensation liability. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our effective tax rate was 29.9% as we recognized income tax expense of $8.3 million on income of $27.7 million. The effective tax rate of 29.9% was less favorable than the statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes, of 26.0%, primarily due to the establishment of a valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset recorded as the result of the capital loss on our investment in a hospital-at-home company as well as certain nondeductible expense items, partially offset by a tax benefit related to non-taxable gains on our investments used to fund our deferred compensation liability. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our effective tax rate was 22.1% as we recognized income tax expense of $15.5 million on income of $70.0 million.

Restructuring Charges Restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The $0.4 million of restructuring charges recognized in the second quarter of 2026 included $0.7 million of rent and related expenses, net of sublease income, for our previously vacated office spaces, partially offset by a $0.2 million non-cash gain on lease modification on our office space in Hillsboro, Oregon. The $1.1 million of restructuring charges recognized in the first six months of 2026 included $3.2 million of severance-related expenses and $1.7 million of rent and related expenses, net of sublease income, for our previously vacated office spaces, largely offset by $4.0 million of non-cash gains on lease modifications. In the first quarter of 2026, we entered into the Seventh Amendment to the office lease agreement for our principal executive offices in Chicago, Illinois, which, among other items, provides for the early termination of the lease with respect to certain leased spaces previously vacated. As a result of this modification, we recognized a $3.8 million non-cash gain on lease modification. See Note 14 Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees within the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Seventh Amendment to the Chicago, Illinois office lease.
