Actionable Insight

The significant goodwill impairment and declining adjusted profitability, coupled with negative guidance for 2026 EBITDA, suggest ongoing operational and regulatory challenges. The stock is likely to face pressure despite revenue growth. Monitor the impact of the New York Medicaid policy change and the new CEO's ability to stabilize margins.

Key Facts

  • Net loss of $12.16 per share in 2025 vs. net income of $2.78 per share in 2024, driven by a $996.2 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge.
  • Adjusted EPS declined 39% to $2.00 from $3.30 in 2024.
  • 2026 guidance projects revenue of $3.37-$3.45 billion (up 1.7%-4.1% from 2025) and adjusted EBITDA of $575-$610 million (down 5.3%-10.5% from 2025).
  • The company faces a $25-$30 million negative EBITDA impact in 2026 from a change in New York Medicaid policy.
  • Debbie Osteen was named CEO, replacing Christopher Hunter.

Financial Impact
