Transcript signals

Bull points

  • Today, Evelyn reported strong first quarter results that were in line with our expectations.
  • For the quarter, Evelyn reported total revenue of $496 million, representing 9% sequential growth versus Q4 2025, excluding the divestiture of Evelyn Care Partners, or ECP. and adjusted EBITDA of $22 million, consistent with our expectations and the outlook we provided in February.
  • Our medical expense ratio, or MER, for Q1 2026 was 93%, improving 150 basis points versus Q4 2025, excluding ECP. This performance, we believe, underscores our disciplined execution and our belief in the growing importance and demand for Evelyn's solutions in the marketplace.

Bear points

  • With respect to our update on the exchange impact, we've seen declines in exchange membership in the performance suite as clients saw reduced membership in select markets as previously communicated over the last few quarters.
  • our guidance for the four-year continues to take a cautious approach and assumes the 40% decline we referenced previously.
  • That has actually been the case. So that pushed down the first quarter revenue.
