Evolent Health 2025 Q2 Earnings Widening Losses Amid Declining Revenue

Evolent Health reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 11, 2025, revealing a sharp decline in revenue and a significant deterioration in net income.

Evolent Health's total revenue in the second quarter of 2025 dropped by 31.3% year-over-year to $444.33 million, with each of its business segments experiencing declines. The Performance Suite remained the largest contributor, generating $267.92 million, followed by the Specialty Technology and Services Suite at $81.40 million. Administrative Services added $55.88 million, while the Cases segment reported $39.13 million in revenue. Collectively, these figures underscore a broad-based slowdown in the company’s core offerings.

Evolent Health’s losses expanded dramatically in Q2 2025, with a loss per share of $0.44, representing a 633.3% increase in the loss compared to $0.06 per share in the same period the previous year. On a net income basis, the company reported a loss of $19.90 million, a 1346.7% deterioration from a net income of $1.60 million in Q2 2024. This marks the company’s 10th consecutive year of losses in the corresponding quarter, highlighting persistent financial challenges.

The stock price of Evolent Health has shown mixed short-term performance, with a 0.44% gain on the latest trading day but a 5.63% drop over the past week and a sharp 17.90% decline month-to-date.

The post-earnings trading strategy of buying EVH when it beats revenue and holding for 30 days delivered a -22.45% return, underperforming the benchmark by a wide margin. The strategy exhibited a maximum drawdown of 0.00%, a Sharpe ratio of -0.09, and high volatility of 54.18%, indicating poor risk-adjusted returns and significant market uncertainty.

Evolent Health CEO Paul Keegan acknowledged a difficult quarter, citing macroeconomic pressures and execution risks as key challenges. He emphasized ongoing efforts to expand the provider network and enhance the adoption of its data-driven care coordination platform as drivers of long-term growth. However, Keegan noted near-term obstacles, particularly in contract renewals and rising customer acquisition costs, which have weighed on profitability. The leadership remains focused on investing in digital health tools and predictive analytics to strengthen its market position, while also maintaining disciplined cost management to support long-term sustainability.

For 2025, the company outlined a strategic emphasis on expanding existing services and acquiring new clients, though it has not disclosed specific revenue targets. The CEO reiterated a commitment to managing cash flow and optimizing working capital to preserve financial flexibility and support long-term value creation.
