Founded in 1980, the company has evolved over four decades to become a pivotal player in healthcare cost management and payment accuracy. Claritev's mission is to bring clarity to complex healthcare data, enabling better decision-making for payers, providers, and patients alike. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services that leverage advanced analytics and technology to reduce medical expenses, recover overpayments, and optimize payment processes.
Claritev's primary business segments include analytics-driven cost management solutions that identify billing overcharges and facilitate reimbursement negotiations; network-based services that secure discounted rates through contracts with healthcare providers and administer provider networks; and payment and revenue integrity services that detect and eliminate erroneous charges and recover underpaid premiums. Additionally, Claritev provides data and decision science solutions utilizing descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics to refine benefit plans, improve clinical outcomes, and lower overall healthcare costs. The company also handles business-to-business healthcare payment processing.
With a clientele that includes major national and regional insurance carriers, Blue Cross and Blue Shield organizations, provider-sponsored health plans, third-party administrators (TPAs), and self-insured plans, Claritev processes millions of claims and helps save billions in healthcare spending. As of the latest data, the company employs approximately 3,000 full-time employees and generates annual revenue in the range of hundreds of millions. Financially, Claritev has a market cap around $555 million, with substantial debt from its leveraged buyout history, resulting in negative equity. Despite financial challenges, the company maintains high gross margins (35.4%) and EBITDA margins (34.1%), reflecting its strong operational efficiency.
Under the leadership of CEO Travis S. Dalton, who took the helm in March 2024, Claritev is undergoing a transformation, rebranding from MultiPlan to Claritev in February 2025 to reflect its increased investment in technology and data capabilities. The company is committed to corporate responsibility, including sustainability, stakeholder engagement, and community impact. With its focus on healthcare affordability and transparency, Claritev aims to answer one of healthcare's hardest questions: How can healthcare become more affordable and transparent for all?
Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Claritev Corporation Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Also, please note that this call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to Todd Friedman, Head of Investor Relations. Todd, you may begin.
Todd Friedman: Thank you, Mark. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Claritev's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. Joining me today are Travis Dalton, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Doug Garis, Chief Financial Officer. During our call, we will refer to the supplemental slide deck that is available on the Investors portion of our website along with the second quarter 2026 earnings press release that we issued earlier this morning. Our remarks and responses to questions today will include forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent management's beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this call. Actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements due to a number of risks. A summary of these risks can be found on the second page of the supplemental slide deck and a more complete description in our annual report on Form 10-K and 10-Q and other documents that we file with the SEC. We'll also be referring to several non-GAAP measures, which we believe provide investors with a more complete understanding of Claritev's underlying operating results. An explanation of these non-GAAP measures and the reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measures can be found in the earnings press release and in the supplemental slide deck. And with that, I would now like to turn the call over to Travis.
Travis Dalton: Good morning. Thank you for joining us. We're pleased to announce another strong quarter for Claritev and continued progress on our turnaround journey.

At our Investor Day in March, we introduced 2026 as the year of the way up, which is a return to sustainable growth in our multiyear transformation. The first half of the year has demonstrated that our strategy of driving horizontal solutions in vertical markets is working. In addition to focusing on our core client solutions and attacking new markets, we're building leaders in a culture of growth at the company. I'm most proud of the way our people have embraced change and new opportunities to impact health care. We also have made thoughtful and smart investments in our technology platforms, data architecture and talent over the last 2 years. Our technology modernization positions us to quickly adapt and harness the power of new …
