Positive Sentiment: Financially, Amwell cut losses meaningfully in 2025 — reducing net loss and adjusted EBITDA shortfalls by about $100M each and lowering operating expenses (Q4 operating expense down 30.7%), showing improving operating leverage. Positive Sentiment: Management guided to full-year 2026 revenue of $195M–$205M, an adjusted EBITDA loss of $24M–$18M, and expects to reach positive operating cash flow in Q4 2026 — a key inflection target for the company. Negative Sentiment: Top-line pressure persists: Q4 revenue fell 22.1% year-over-year (total platform visits down ~28%), subscription revenue declined 22% YoY, partly driven by a DHA contract step-down and deliberate de-emphasis of lower-quality revenue streams. Positive Sentiment: Commercial momentum and validation: Amwell executed 15+ payer renewals (including a 3‑year Elevance renewal), went live with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, maintains a DHA relationship that validates security/resilience, and reports the largest pipeline in company history.

Joining us on the call today are Amwell's Chairman and CEO, Dr. Ido Schoenberg, and Mark Hirschhorn, Amwell's CFO and Chief Operating Officer. Earlier today, a press release was distributed detailing their announcement. Their earnings report is posted on the Amwell website at investors.amwell.com, and it's also available through normal news sources. This conference call is being webcast live on the IR page of the website, where a replay will be archived. Before they begin prepared remarks, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that during the call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding projected operating results and anticipated market opportunities. This forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties described in the filings with the SEC. Actual results or events may differ materially. Operator00:00:53Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements. On this call, we'll refer to both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the earnings release. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Ido. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:01:14Thank you, operator, and good afternoon, everyone. 2025 was a pivotal year for Amwell. We sharpened our focus, executed a major transformation, and entered 2026 with clear visibility towards a goal of cash flow breakeven from operations in Q4. Today, I'll cover three areas: the market trends driving our strategy, our 2025 execution highlights, and our plan for 2026. Mark will then walk you through our detailed financial and guidance. After that, we'll take your questions. The healthcare landscape entering 2026 is defined by a clear shift towards operational efficiency. Payers and health systems are aggressively pursuing platform consolidation, guaranteed ROI, and industrial-strength automation. Managing countless point solutions, one for diabetes, one for MSK, one for mental health, another for wellness, et cetera, creates massive administrative overhead. It creates security vulnerabilities, and it creates disjointed member experiences. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:02:35It forces sponsors to act as system integrators, a role for which they are often ill-equipped. The pressures are mounting. The Medicare population is aging rapidly. Pharmacy costs are surging. Overall, healthcare costs keep climbing, especially in behavioral health and GLP-1 usage. Clinician shortages are worsening. Subsidies are evaporating. Payer margins are compressing rapidly. Technology-enabled care is no longer optional. It's essential. The promise of hybrid care is now clear. Combine automation with smart use of clinician time to reduce costs and improve outcomes. AI is accelerating this shift. It's transforming engagement, intake, decision support, care delivery workflows, risk stratification, and outcomes measurement. It creates tremendous opportunity and real risk that must be managed. Payers and health systems get this. They're adopting technology-enabled care not as an experiment, but as their primary lever for cost reduction, better outcomes, and meeting patient expectations. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:04:08Increasingly, they want to deliver through a unified platform. A technology-enabled care or tech platform delivers clear advantages. Sponsors keep their brands front and center. They have full data access. They own the relationship and get credit for the value they enable. Patient engagement becomes more efficient and effective. Our tech platform enables API-first ecosystem. It allows sponsors to consolidate their digital stack on one infrastructure. Clinical programs can be added, swapped, or retired quickly. We facilitate vendor rationalization, the process of auditing digital health partnerships, and aggressively cutting underperforming programs. Vendor management gets simpler. Vendor sprawl, with its fragmented IT strategies, data silos, and day-to-day inefficiencies, is reduced. Outcomes tracking across whole person and cohorts becomes actionable. This platformization reduces integration costs. It unifies data lakes for better analytics. It enables risk stratification to identify and intervene with high-risk members early. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:05:47It drastically improves the member experience by providing a single, simple, personalized, and familiar front door for all care needs. With AI, and especially Agentic AI-powered clinical programs multiplying rapidly, the ability to experiment and iterate is critical. So is ensuring that authorized clinicians govern the care process through smart integration. In 2025, we made a decisive choice: focus exclusively on offering the best tech platform in the market. The benefits flow to every stakeholder. For patients, personalized, simple access to a growing array of AI-powered care programs. For payers, employers, and government sponsors, reduce costs, improve outcomes, and exceptional experiences while staying agile to improve ROI as programs evolve. Member experience becomes critical in 2026 as ACA subsidies expire and drive member disenrollment, adversely impacting payer risk mix. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:07:10Sponsors also obtain robust ROI using Amwell's proven platform-native clinical programs, urgent care, behavioral health, and virtual primary care, with the flexibility to integrate any third-party solution. It also allows payers to maintain network adequacy, especially in behavioral health services, where supply-demand gap is reaching new heights. The effective integration of partners like Vida, a digital companion to combat GLP-1 inappropriate utilization, or SOAR to manage MSK costs, are great examples. For health systems, they can extend remote access to their own providers. They can offer services through our platform beyond their catchment area, and they can augment their care with third-party programs. All sponsors can use their tech platform as required infrastructure to unlock federal funding, programs like Access, Balance, or the Rural Health Transformation. Finally, resilience is now a key purchasing criterion. Payers are looking for partners with Zero-Trust Architecture and proven resilience. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:08:35Amwell's contract with the Defense Health Agency serves as a powerful validation. It demonstrates that our platform meets the most stringent security standards in the world. With tech as our sole focus, we are building deeper, long-term relationships with the payers, government, and health systems. We completed our transformation from a telehealth provider to dependable, trusted enterprise infrastructure. The Amwell platform has become an essential utility. It solves existential needs for our customers by effectively enabling consolidation, automation, and clinical ROI. This aligns our success with our clients' success and creates a path to higher quality, higher margin growth. We expect our high-quality growth will be fueled by the powerful secular trend of tech adoption. As AI reshapes healthcare, we offer our customers a consistent, safe, and effective framework to adopt it while remaining flexible and agile. Following our focus commitment in 2025, we moved quickly. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:10:08We divested non-core activities. The sale of APC is one example. We restructured our company and dramatically reduced our cost base. We realigned our roadmap and go-to-market investments. Clients and prospects responded. 2025 brought significant commercial momentum. In the payer segment alone, we executed over 15 payer contracts renewals, representing the vast majority of our existing payer subscription revenue. Coupled with our new logo wins, we validated our platform strategy, strengthened our recurring high-quality revenue base, and positioned us well for same-store expansion. Examples include the DHA renewals last summer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida going live this January, and most importantly, our 3-year renewal with Elevance. As we enter 2026, we have responsibly reduced non-core, lower-quality activities. Our 2026 top line is smaller, but now it's primarily high quality, high upside, sticky revenue. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:11:35This gives us clear visibility to reach our cash flow break-even goal in Q4 of this year. In 2026, we'll deploy with strict fiscal discipline, innovations that widen our competitive advantage: AI-enhanced patient experience, faster third-party integration, better clinical data utilization, and faster, easier deployments. We've assembled a strong and fresh leadership team... experienced executives with proven track records from world-class companies, united and energized around our clear mission. We have a focused execution path and a market that clearly values what we offer. We start 2026 with healthy cash reserves, no debt, a strong and dependable recurring revenue base, and a clear path to multi-year growth. Our journey wasn't short or easy. My deep appreciation goes to our team members, clients, and partners for standing with us through this journey. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:13:01We carry this trust with us as we execute and deliver in 2026 and for years to come. With that, I'll turn it over to Mark. Mark? Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:13:14Thanks, Ido, and good afternoon, everyone. On today's call, I'll start with a few highlights from our full year 2025, then walk through our fourth quarter financial performance, and finally, provide an update on our initial guidance for the first quarter and full year 2026. Starting with the full year, 2025 marked an important period of refocus and financial progress for Amwell. Total revenue for the year was $249.3 million. Importantly, subscription revenue continued to become a larger and more durable component of our business, representing 53% of total revenue, up from 45% in 2024. This deliberate shift reflects our strategic emphasis on higher quality, more predictable, SaaS-based revenue streams. From a profitability standpoint, we made meaningful progress. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:14:09For the full year, we reduced both net loss and adjusted EBITDA losses by approximately $100 million each, driven by disciplined cost actions and a more focused operating model. Turning to the fourth quarter, we delivered solid results across revenue and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting stronger subscription retention, increased visit volume in specialty care and virtual primary care, and meaningful cost efficiencies driven by the successful execution of our transformation plan. We also began to see early benefits from AI integration across our operations. Overall, our fourth quarter performance reinforces that the actions we initiated at the start of 2025 are translating into durable financial improvement and accelerating operating leverage. Starting with revenue, total revenue in the quarter was $55.3 million, representing a 22.1% year-over-year decline. Subscription revenue was $28.8 million, down 22% year-over-year. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:15:20The decline was driven primarily by the step down in our DHA contract this past summer, churn that occurred earlier in 2024, and to a lesser extent, our reprioritization of certain parts of the business to focus on our core payer and government markets. Amwell Medical Group, or AMG, visit revenue was $23.7 million, down 18.7% year-over-year, reflecting the sale of APC as well as some remaining churn from 2024. In terms of volumes, paid AMG visits were flat at approximately 340,000 visits in the quarter. Total platform visits were 1 million visits, down 28.4% year-over-year from the 1.4 million visits in the fourth quarter of 2024, which is consistent with the portfolio changes I just described. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:16:17Cost of goods sold in the quarter was $27 million, resulting in a gross profit of $28.3 million, which was down 17.6% year-over-year. Gross margin was 51.2%, representing a 280 basis point decline year-over-year. While we experienced some near-term margin pressure, we continue to see our revenue mix shifting toward higher-margin SaaS offerings, which we believe will support margin expansion over time as our scale improves. Turning now to operating expenses. Total operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization, were $55.3 million. That's a 30.7% reduction year-over-year. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:17:06Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue improved meaningfully to 96.7%, compared to 108.7% in the fourth quarter of last year, reflecting the benefits of our transformation actions and continued cost discipline. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was a loss of $10.3 million. That's an improvement from a loss of $12.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, and a 55% improvement from the $22.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net loss was $25.2 million compared to $30.7 million in the third quarter, representing a 43.5% improvement year-over-year. Turning now to the balance sheet. We reported cash burn of approximately $19 million in the fourth quarter. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:18:04We ended the year with approximately $182 million in cash and marketable securities, and importantly, no debt. Now I'd like to turn to guidance. For the full year 2026, we expect revenue in the range of $195 million-$205 million. We expect AMG visits between 1.32 million and 1.37 million visits, Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $24 million-$18 million. And this first quarter of 2026, we expect revenue in the range of $48 million-$53 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $7 million-$5 million. Based on our current outlook and continued execution, we expect the company to achieve positive cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of this year. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:19:04This guidance reflects our expectations around continued subscription stability, visit volume trends in specialty care and virtual primary care, ongoing cost discipline, and incremental benefits from automation and AI-driven efficiencies across the business. In closing, 2025 was a year of refocus and progress. We concentrated on our core markets, payers and government entities, while positioning the company to return to delivering durable growth. At the same time, we made meaningful progress, reducing cash burn and losses by nearly $100 million, putting us on a clear path forward to achieving positive cash flow from operations by the fourth quarter of this year. These results would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and I want to sincerely thank them for their efforts. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress this year. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:20:06With that, I'll turn it back to Ido for his closing remarks. Ido? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:20:13Thank you, Mark. We are encouraged by the progress we made in 2025. We successfully sharpened our focus on our tech platform, validated strong market demand, and meaningfully improved both our efficiency and cost structure. We enter 2026 with clear visibility into continued performance improvement, position us well to achieve our goal of cash flow breakeven from operations in Q4. Equally important, the changes we've made have strengthened our revenue quality. We now work with clients to extract even more value from our partnership, leading to longer lasting, stickier relationships that generate higher margins more reliably and offer significantly greater same-store growth potential. With AI-driven clinical programs growing exponentially and payers, government, and health systems increasingly in need of infrastructure to deploy them safely and effectively, we believe Amwell has reached an exciting inflection point. We look forward to an important year ahead. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:21:32With that, I'd like to open the call to questions. Operator? Operator00:21:36Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. We ask that you please limit yourself to one question. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Stan Berenshteyn with Wells Fargo Securities. Your line is now open. Analyst at Wells Fargo Securities00:22:06Hi, this is Corey on for Stan. It's encouraging to see progress toward free cash flow breakeven despite retention challenges. As we think about 2026, how should we think about when existing client contracts would be up for renewal? And do you have any additional color related to your government opportunities? Thanks. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:22:26Hi, Corey. Well, as I mentioned earlier in my prepared remark, in 2025, we signed 50 contracts, most of which are renewals, and in that we really secured our recurring revenue base to a great extent. Therefore, the amount of open renewals in 2026 are significantly lower, with one important exception, which is the DHA renewal that we expect to have this summer. We're very pleased with the value that we generate with the DHA and the traction, and are optimistic that our performance and our strong relationship position us well for multi-year renewal also in that important segment of the market. Operator00:23:18Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jailendra Singh with Truist. Your line is now open. Jailendra SinghManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Truist00:23:25Yeah, thank you, and thanks for taking my questions. Ido, you talked about 2026 being a year of operational efficiencies, and you spend a lot of time on AI. Clearly, AI is going to be playing a big role here, and you guys have been one of the early adopters. But what are your thoughts on some of the new AI companies and trends which are seeing opportunities here in terms of having the impact in healthcare? And clearly they are all trying to make a big push given all the inefficiency in the system. How do you see the competitive landscape evolving, considering these new entrants in the market? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:24:00Thank you, Jailendra. We are very bullish and optimistic about the impact of AI on healthcare, with the obvious asterisks and exceptions of risk management and so on. But overall, the trend is very powerful. AI can do many things, and in Amwell, we implemented AI liberally across our entire workflow and operations and inside our own product. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:24:22... Having said that, the ability of AI to impact the most for our customers is in clinical programs, and they typically focus on one therapeutic area at a time, whether it's MSK, GLP-1, things with diabetes, blood pressure, and so on and so forth. The integration of those AI programs and the ability to integrate, switch, and maintain multiple AI programs, it turned out to be a very big challenge for our customers, and you need to connect them into a consistent, highly regulated, infrastructure. So for example, as you develop an entry point, a digital door for your digital assets, and it works so for your own members, you want to make it consistent, and you want to not rebuild it each time whenever you change an AI program versus in others. And that's really our role. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:25:16Our role is to match the regulated baseline infrastructure with a tsunami of AI programs reliably. We are not aware of many or even any company that does exactly that right now. And very importantly, we are now already implemented with a new platform, with a very big market share footprint right now, that is proving to work very effectively. And the opportunity is really to use AI and to add AI to this infrastructure rather than replace it. So, saying it in summary, we believe that AI will be endorsed and adopted quite a bit across our client base, and we believe that our platform would be an important utility as our clients do that. Jailendra SinghManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Truist00:26:15Great, thanks a lot. Operator00:26:17Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Dave Larsen with BTIG. Your line is now open. Dave LarsenManaging Director, Senior Healthcare IT and Digital Health Analyst at BTIG00:26:24Hi. As we look towards 2026, can you talk about some of the headwinds and tailwinds that could cause either an increase or a risk to the guide? Thanks very much. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:26:38Hi, this is Mark. I think the most likely tailwind would be an earlier adoption of our technology-enabled platform from Options. We are participating in all 50 states RFIs, RFPs right now. We've got a significant opportunity in a few other government segments as well. We expect to hear second quarter, so only a few months from now, as to how deep our participation will be and when those revenues will commence. While we have not built any of that revenue into our current 2026 plan, we certainly believe that as a result of the pipeline being larger today than it has been in the history in all the past history of Amwell, much of that will convert into some backlog that we'll see come to fruition in 2027. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:27:46As far as any of the headwinds, you know, we do, of course, have a renewal with the DHA this summer. We're extremely confident that that will be renewed again and hopefully for longer, for a longer term. But beyond that, our other material contracts are not up for renewal in 2026. Dave LarsenManaging Director, Senior Healthcare IT and Digital Health Analyst at BTIG00:28:09Can you remind me, for the DHA renewal, what you mentioned, like, a step down in the DHA revenue. What was that related to? And then could you win that back in the summer? And if you did, how much of a step up in incremental revenue would there be related to the DHA on the same annual run rate basis? Thanks. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:28:31Yeah. So, you're correct. We experienced, unfortunately, as a result of DOGE, a elimination of our digital behavioral health and automated care programs in the summer of 2025. We had initially rolled that out to a select number of locations. It was doing extremely well. The uptake on those programs was very strong, but as a result of an overall cost efficiency mandate, they were not renewed as the contract, and the base contract was renewed. We certainly feel very, very positive about the status of that contract and the opportunity to opportunity to revisit adding those two programs to the base platform renewal coming up this summer. As far as materiality, it's, it's significant, it's material. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:29:29While we don't disclose the total value of the contract, I think we did suggest in the past, and we would going forward, that adding those two components would certainly be material. Dave LarsenManaging Director, Senior Healthcare IT and Digital Health Analyst at BTIG00:29:42Okay, thanks very much. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:29:44You're welcome. Operator00:29:46Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Craig Hettenbach with Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open. Craig HettenbachManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Morgan Stanley00:29:54Yes, thank you. Ido, just teeing off of your comment around kind of small top line, but higher quality and stickier, how do you think about 2026 as a baseline in terms of the ability to kind of resume growth? And then with the business as it stands in 2026, what does the long-term growth look like? What type of growth profile can you generate with this business? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:30:19Hi, Craig. Well, you're absolutely correct. In fact, two years ago, we sold so many products to so many market segments, the market product fit was different between one versus another. As a reminder, we had APC, and we play psychiatry, sometimes in person, in hospitals, with a very big hardware business, inpatient solution, competing directly with the EHRs and things of that nature. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:30:48While we have some of it left, and we are going to always serve our clients really well, we really essentially have now reduced all those many products into one beautiful platform, but one platform. The technology-enabled care Amwell platform, and connected to our own native services and a growing array of third-party services, out of which you can add even more. When you look at the market right now, and I mentioned in my prepared remark, the incredible importance and value of diverting clinical demand from brick-and-mortar into technology-enabled care, everybody's convinced you need to really have this infrastructure. So we fully expect our sponsors, our clients, to invest in encouraging their members to use it more and more often in marketing and in cost attractiveness and things of that nature. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:31:48So there is a strong secular trend that is not going anywhere in the next two years to have people use our platform, not only for urgent care, like in the early days, but really across the entire care continuum. The infrastructure that we built is big and deep. You don't change it every day. Our sales cycles take, for a reason, 9-12, sometimes more months. But once implemented, they're really connected to the financial and clinical backbone of the sponsors, both in way of incoming traffic and in way of outgoing analytics and reporting. However, the middle ground, the area where you have all those AI-driven clinical programs, is growing extremely rapidly. And there is real motivation to add more. And as that happens, we are going to benefit from high-margin revenue for us. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:32:48I'll give you just one example. I don't recall any CFO or leadership with any payer customer that we have that is not incredibly concerned about GLP-1 spending. The ability to very easily add Vida or other programs to the existing integrated infrastructure is extremely attractive for our customers to do, and we make it incredibly simple and easy for them to do that. To summarize, we believe that the same-store growth presents a very meaningful revenue opportunity for us. In addition to that, as you know, we invested very heavily in penetrating the very hard-to-penetrate government market. I'm very pleased with our performance there, and there are many other large opportunities that are very similar to the one that we presented with the DHA. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:33:46So we do believe that the government sector represents an incredible growth opportunity as well, both in way of net new logos and even in same-store growth, like the example that Mark gave recently, to reinstate our behavioral health and maybe other alternatives. The success that we have with our existing clients is not lost on others, and many of them are really under pressure to add those programs. But they do that today with an infrastructure that is much smaller. A lot of the IT departments in payers are much smaller today because of cost pressures, so their ability to serve as an integrator for all those programs and then to match them with a different ASO is becoming much more difficult. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:34:36Amwell and the Amwell platform presents itself as a very good solution, both for them and obviously also for those vendors that can accelerate their penetration and offering into those conservative, highly regulated, clients, through our infrastructure. Operator00:34:59Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Eric Percher with Nephron Research. Your line is now open. Eric PercherCo-founder at Nephron Research00:35:06Thank you. I'd also like to dig in a little bit more on the, I think, what comes from the improvement in revenue quality. When we look at what the guidance for this coming year holds, it sounds like some de-emphasis. I know there were also divestitures that you had considered. Can you give us a little bit more on what you're de-emphasizing and where those, maybe a little bit of why the revenue is running lower than we might have expected? And does that not include any of the divestitures that you've looked at? Would those be ultimately incrementally beneficial to bottom line, while perhaps taking down top line from here where we sit in 2026? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:35:50Sure. So, Eric, what we've done really is to centralize our offering around one offering, which is the Amwell platform, and it does what we described earlier, and does it really, really well. As you know, we had other offerings in market segments where the product market fit was not great. We divested APC, and we de-emphasized other areas that are non-core. Essentially, our one product right now is still a very good match to all the market segments that we operated before, but there is one product across the segment versus many products across many segments.... The vertical position to payers and government is very strong and very sizable. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:36:35A very big part of our revenue is derived from there, and since it connects millions and tens of millions of individuals that are motivated to use the platform more and more across the ecosystem, that also presents the most important growth opportunity for us. Having said that, many health systems are now bearing risk. Many of them want to participate in different government programs like Access, and in order to do that, they really benefit from a platform like Amwell. Because you can add all those very efficient clinical programs to their current offering in a way that is integrated out of the box and is done doing that very efficiently. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:37:23So that allows us to really be very efficient in focusing on one highly attractive and differentiating product, benefit from secular demand that is growing without a lot of cost to grow it. Once we are implemented, adding programs and seeing more traction is much less expensive than creating the platform that we've done over the past few years. And of course, there are not too many of those in the market, so we fully expect that the example we gave recently with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida is not going to be a singular one. Mark, I don't know if you have anything to add. Eric PercherCo-founder at Nephron Research00:38:09I should have been more precise. Does the 26 revenue and EBITDA reflect full exit of the businesses we discussed could be exited? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:38:19I don't think so. There is some residual activity, but it's diminishing in percentage points and in proportion, until a point where it's going to be, negligible, over the next, two years. Eric PercherCo-founder at Nephron Research00:38:34Thank you. Operator00:38:36Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question at this time, please press star one one on your touchtone telephone. Our next question comes from the line of Ryan MacDonald with Needham and Company. Your line is now open. Ryan MacDonaldManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Needham and Company00:38:48Hi, thanks for taking my questions. Ido, great to hear that you, you know, got the 15 renewals done, obviously, and sort of the, obviously the large three year renewal with Elevance. I'm curious, you know, if you could talk about sort of, how those renewals or those discussions in those renewals are informing your go-to-market approach for net new opportunities. And as you think about 2026, if you kind of look at sort of across government, payer, provider, where are you sort of skating to the fastest or where are you really focusing those go-to-market efforts in terms of, bringing in net new logos, to the business? Thanks. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:39:24Absolutely, Ryan. So I'm pleased to share that all of our renewals, as it relates to the payers that we mentioned and others, were related to the same offering to the new Amwell platform. And in many ways, while they are technically renewals, since the offering is so different than what they had in the past and our role is so different, you can consider them in many ways, a new sale or almost a net new, sale. You need to remember also that when people renew and migrate their platform into the new platform, that comes with deep integration into financial and clinical, backbone. So you don't do it, to do it very quickly, you do it as a long-term, investment. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:40:09The value of our existing customers is now demonstrated really well, and when we implement the new customers, it's really a very similar workflow. So reproducing it becomes much easier and simpler and much more efficient going forward. So as I mentioned earlier, when we look at multi-year growth, the most obvious and impactful area is sensor growth, benefiting from more programs to more people that will use it more often and more efficiently and really benefiting from those secular tailwinds. In addition to that, as Mark mentioned earlier, we have the largest pipeline we had in our history, I think, that I remember at least, for now, and it's all about this. There's nothing else. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:41:03It's about our one beautiful platform and its clinical services, and the value it should generate as an infrastructure to adopt more and more AI-powered clinical programs. So we have a lot of proof points, a lot of success point in a very large scale. When I look at the segments, commercial payers obviously is our sweet spot, blues and others, but there's no question that our advantage in the government is even bigger. And the reason is that that's a really high barrier of entry segment when you think about cybersecurity, regulations, things of that nature, and we have that right now. We spend enormous amounts and time and effort and resources getting there, and it performs really, really well. So we fully expect this to grow meaningfully over the next few years. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:41:59And lastly, we believe that a health system will participate, but in proportion, probably their contribution is going to be smaller than the first two segments I just mentioned. Operator00:42:15Thank you. I'm currently showing no further questions at this time. I'd now like to hand the call back over to Ido Schoenberg for closing remarks. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:42:25Thank you, operator, and thank you everyone for joining. We really appreciate your support of Amwell, and we look forward to talking to you very soon. Have a good evening. Operator00:42:36This concludes today's conference. Thank you for your participation.

PresentationSkip to Participants Operator00:00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to Amwell's conference call to discuss their fourth fiscal quarter and full year 2025. Joining us on the call today are Amwell's Chairman and CEO, Dr. Ido Schoenberg, and Mark Hirschhorn, Amwell's CFO and Chief Operating Officer. Earlier today, a press release was distributed detailing their announcement. Their earnings report is posted on the Amwell website at investors.amwell.com, and it's also available through normal news sources. This conference call is being webcast live on the IR page of the website, where a replay will be archived. Before they begin prepared remarks, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that during the call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding projected operating results and anticipated market opportunities. This forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties described in the filings with the SEC. Actual results or events may differ materially. Operator00:00:53Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements. On this call, we'll refer to both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the earnings release. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Ido. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:01:14Thank you, operator, and good afternoon, everyone. 2025 was a pivotal year for Amwell. We sharpened our focus, executed a major transformation, and entered 2026 with clear visibility towards a goal of cash flow breakeven from operations in Q4. Today, I'll cover three areas: the market trends driving our strategy, our 2025 execution highlights, and our plan for 2026. Mark will then walk you through our detailed financial and guidance. After that, we'll take your questions. The healthcare landscape entering 2026 is defined by a clear shift towards operational efficiency. Payers and health systems are aggressively pursuing platform consolidation, guaranteed ROI, and industrial-strength automation. Managing countless point solutions, one for diabetes, one for MSK, one for mental health, another for wellness, et cetera, creates massive administrative overhead. It creates security vulnerabilities, and it creates disjointed member experiences. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:02:35It forces sponsors to act as system integrators, a role for which they are often ill-equipped. The pressures are mounting. The Medicare population is aging rapidly. Pharmacy costs are surging. Overall, healthcare costs keep climbing, especially in behavioral health and GLP-1 usage. Clinician shortages are worsening. Subsidies are evaporating. Payer margins are compressing rapidly. Technology-enabled care is no longer optional. It's essential. The promise of hybrid care is now clear. Combine automation with smart use of clinician time to reduce costs and improve outcomes. AI is accelerating this shift. It's transforming engagement, intake, decision support, care delivery workflows, risk stratification, and outcomes measurement. It creates tremendous opportunity and real risk that must be managed. Payers and health systems get this. They're adopting technology-enabled care not as an experiment, but as their primary lever for cost reduction, better outcomes, and meeting patient expectations. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:04:08Increasingly, they want to deliver through a unified platform. A technology-enabled care or tech platform delivers clear advantages. Sponsors keep their brands front and center. They have full data access. They own the relationship and get credit for the value they enable. Patient engagement becomes more efficient and effective. Our tech platform enables API-first ecosystem. It allows sponsors to consolidate their digital stack on one infrastructure. Clinical programs can be added, swapped, or retired quickly. We facilitate vendor rationalization, the process of auditing digital health partnerships, and aggressively cutting underperforming programs. Vendor management gets simpler. Vendor sprawl, with its fragmented IT strategies, data silos, and day-to-day inefficiencies, is reduced. Outcomes tracking across whole person and cohorts becomes actionable. This platformization reduces integration costs. It unifies data lakes for better analytics. It enables risk stratification to identify and intervene with high-risk members early. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:05:47It drastically improves the member experience by providing a single, simple, personalized, and familiar front door for all care needs. With AI, and especially Agentic AI-powered clinical programs multiplying rapidly, the ability to experiment and iterate is critical. So is ensuring that authorized clinicians govern the care process through smart integration. In 2025, we made a decisive choice: focus exclusively on offering the best tech platform in the market. The benefits flow to every stakeholder. For patients, personalized, simple access to a growing array of AI-powered care programs. For payers, employers, and government sponsors, reduce costs, improve outcomes, and exceptional experiences while staying agile to improve ROI as programs evolve. Member experience becomes critical in 2026 as ACA subsidies expire and drive member disenrollment, adversely impacting payer risk mix. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:07:10Sponsors also obtain robust ROI using Amwell's proven platform-native clinical programs, urgent care, behavioral health, and virtual primary care, with the flexibility to integrate any third-party solution. It also allows payers to maintain network adequacy, especially in behavioral health services, where supply-demand gap is reaching new heights. The effective integration of partners like Vida, a digital companion to combat GLP-1 inappropriate utilization, or SOAR to manage MSK costs, are great examples. For health systems, they can extend remote access to their own providers. They can offer services through our platform beyond their catchment area, and they can augment their care with third-party programs. All sponsors can use their tech platform as required infrastructure to unlock federal funding, programs like Access, Balance, or the Rural Health Transformation. Finally, resilience is now a key purchasing criterion. Payers are looking for partners with Zero-Trust Architecture and proven resilience. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:08:35Amwell's contract with the Defense Health Agency serves as a powerful validation. It demonstrates that our platform meets the most stringent security standards in the world. With tech as our sole focus, we are building deeper, long-term relationships with the payers, government, and health systems. We completed our transformation from a telehealth provider to dependable, trusted enterprise infrastructure. The Amwell platform has become an essential utility. It solves existential needs for our customers by effectively enabling consolidation, automation, and clinical ROI. This aligns our success with our clients' success and creates a path to higher quality, higher margin growth. We expect our high-quality growth will be fueled by the powerful secular trend of tech adoption. As AI reshapes healthcare, we offer our customers a consistent, safe, and effective framework to adopt it while remaining flexible and agile. Following our focus commitment in 2025, we moved quickly. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:10:08We divested non-core activities. The sale of APC is one example. We restructured our company and dramatically reduced our cost base. We realigned our roadmap and go-to-market investments. Clients and prospects responded. 2025 brought significant commercial momentum. In the payer segment alone, we executed over 15 payer contracts renewals, representing the vast majority of our existing payer subscription revenue. Coupled with our new logo wins, we validated our platform strategy, strengthened our recurring high-quality revenue base, and positioned us well for same-store expansion. Examples include the DHA renewals last summer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida going live this January, and most importantly, our 3-year renewal with Elevance. As we enter 2026, we have responsibly reduced non-core, lower-quality activities. Our 2026 top line is smaller, but now it's primarily high quality, high upside, sticky revenue. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:11:35This gives us clear visibility to reach our cash flow break-even goal in Q4 of this year. In 2026, we'll deploy with strict fiscal discipline, innovations that widen our competitive advantage: AI-enhanced patient experience, faster third-party integration, better clinical data utilization, and faster, easier deployments. We've assembled a strong and fresh leadership team... experienced executives with proven track records from world-class companies, united and energized around our clear mission. We have a focused execution path and a market that clearly values what we offer. We start 2026 with healthy cash reserves, no debt, a strong and dependable recurring revenue base, and a clear path to multi-year growth. Our journey wasn't short or easy. My deep appreciation goes to our team members, clients, and partners for standing with us through this journey. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:13:01We carry this trust with us as we execute and deliver in 2026 and for years to come. With that, I'll turn it over to Mark. Mark? Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:13:14Thanks, Ido, and good afternoon, everyone. On today's call, I'll start with a few highlights from our full year 2025, then walk through our fourth quarter financial performance, and finally, provide an update on our initial guidance for the first quarter and full year 2026. Starting with the full year, 2025 marked an important period of refocus and financial progress for Amwell. Total revenue for the year was $249.3 million. Importantly, subscription revenue continued to become a larger and more durable component of our business, representing 53% of total revenue, up from 45% in 2024. This deliberate shift reflects our strategic emphasis on higher quality, more predictable, SaaS-based revenue streams. From a profitability standpoint, we made meaningful progress. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:14:09For the full year, we reduced both net loss and adjusted EBITDA losses by approximately $100 million each, driven by disciplined cost actions and a more focused operating model. Turning to the fourth quarter, we delivered solid results across revenue and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting stronger subscription retention, increased visit volume in specialty care and virtual primary care, and meaningful cost efficiencies driven by the successful execution of our transformation plan. We also began to see early benefits from AI integration across our operations. Overall, our fourth quarter performance reinforces that the actions we initiated at the start of 2025 are translating into durable financial improvement and accelerating operating leverage. Starting with revenue, total revenue in the quarter was $55.3 million, representing a 22.1% year-over-year decline. Subscription revenue was $28.8 million, down 22% year-over-year. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:15:20The decline was driven primarily by the step down in our DHA contract this past summer, churn that occurred earlier in 2024, and to a lesser extent, our reprioritization of certain parts of the business to focus on our core payer and government markets. Amwell Medical Group, or AMG, visit revenue was $23.7 million, down 18.7% year-over-year, reflecting the sale of APC as well as some remaining churn from 2024. In terms of volumes, paid AMG visits were flat at approximately 340,000 visits in the quarter. Total platform visits were 1 million visits, down 28.4% year-over-year from the 1.4 million visits in the fourth quarter of 2024, which is consistent with the portfolio changes I just described. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:16:17Cost of goods sold in the quarter was $27 million, resulting in a gross profit of $28.3 million, which was down 17.6% year-over-year. Gross margin was 51.2%, representing a 280 basis point decline year-over-year. While we experienced some near-term margin pressure, we continue to see our revenue mix shifting toward higher-margin SaaS offerings, which we believe will support margin expansion over time as our scale improves. Turning now to operating expenses. Total operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization, were $55.3 million. That's a 30.7% reduction year-over-year. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:17:06Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue improved meaningfully to 96.7%, compared to 108.7% in the fourth quarter of last year, reflecting the benefits of our transformation actions and continued cost discipline. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was a loss of $10.3 million. That's an improvement from a loss of $12.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, and a 55% improvement from the $22.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net loss was $25.2 million compared to $30.7 million in the third quarter, representing a 43.5% improvement year-over-year. Turning now to the balance sheet. We reported cash burn of approximately $19 million in the fourth quarter. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:18:04We ended the year with approximately $182 million in cash and marketable securities, and importantly, no debt. Now I'd like to turn to guidance. For the full year 2026, we expect revenue in the range of $195 million-$205 million. We expect AMG visits between 1.32 million and 1.37 million visits, Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $24 million-$18 million. And this first quarter of 2026, we expect revenue in the range of $48 million-$53 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $7 million-$5 million. Based on our current outlook and continued execution, we expect the company to achieve positive cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of this year. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:19:04This guidance reflects our expectations around continued subscription stability, visit volume trends in specialty care and virtual primary care, ongoing cost discipline, and incremental benefits from automation and AI-driven efficiencies across the business. In closing, 2025 was a year of refocus and progress. We concentrated on our core markets, payers and government entities, while positioning the company to return to delivering durable growth. At the same time, we made meaningful progress, reducing cash burn and losses by nearly $100 million, putting us on a clear path forward to achieving positive cash flow from operations by the fourth quarter of this year. These results would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and I want to sincerely thank them for their efforts. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress this year. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:20:06With that, I'll turn it back to Ido for his closing remarks. Ido? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:20:13Thank you, Mark. We are encouraged by the progress we made in 2025. We successfully sharpened our focus on our tech platform, validated strong market demand, and meaningfully improved both our efficiency and cost structure. We enter 2026 with clear visibility into continued performance improvement, position us well to achieve our goal of cash flow breakeven from operations in Q4. Equally important, the changes we've made have strengthened our revenue quality. We now work with clients to extract even more value from our partnership, leading to longer lasting, stickier relationships that generate higher margins more reliably and offer significantly greater same-store growth potential. With AI-driven clinical programs growing exponentially and payers, government, and health systems increasingly in need of infrastructure to deploy them safely and effectively, we believe Amwell has reached an exciting inflection point. We look forward to an important year ahead. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:21:32With that, I'd like to open the call to questions. Operator? Operator00:21:36Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. We ask that you please limit yourself to one question. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Stan Berenshteyn with Wells Fargo Securities. Your line is now open. Analyst at Wells Fargo Securities00:22:06Hi, this is Corey on for Stan. It's encouraging to see progress toward free cash flow breakeven despite retention challenges. As we think about 2026, how should we think about when existing client contracts would be up for renewal? And do you have any additional color related to your government opportunities? Thanks. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:22:26Hi, Corey. Well, as I mentioned earlier in my prepared remark, in 2025, we signed 50 contracts, most of which are renewals, and in that we really secured our recurring revenue base to a great extent. Therefore, the amount of open renewals in 2026 are significantly lower, with one important exception, which is the DHA renewal that we expect to have this summer. We're very pleased with the value that we generate with the DHA and the traction, and are optimistic that our performance and our strong relationship position us well for multi-year renewal also in that important segment of the market. Operator00:23:18Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jailendra Singh with Truist. Your line is now open. Jailendra SinghManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Truist00:23:25Yeah, thank you, and thanks for taking my questions. Ido, you talked about 2026 being a year of operational efficiencies, and you spend a lot of time on AI. Clearly, AI is going to be playing a big role here, and you guys have been one of the early adopters. But what are your thoughts on some of the new AI companies and trends which are seeing opportunities here in terms of having the impact in healthcare? And clearly they are all trying to make a big push given all the inefficiency in the system. How do you see the competitive landscape evolving, considering these new entrants in the market? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:24:00Thank you, Jailendra. We are very bullish and optimistic about the impact of AI on healthcare, with the obvious asterisks and exceptions of risk management and so on. But overall, the trend is very powerful. AI can do many things, and in Amwell, we implemented AI liberally across our entire workflow and operations and inside our own product. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:24:22... Having said that, the ability of AI to impact the most for our customers is in clinical programs, and they typically focus on one therapeutic area at a time, whether it's MSK, GLP-1, things with diabetes, blood pressure, and so on and so forth. The integration of those AI programs and the ability to integrate, switch, and maintain multiple AI programs, it turned out to be a very big challenge for our customers, and you need to connect them into a consistent, highly regulated, infrastructure. So for example, as you develop an entry point, a digital door for your digital assets, and it works so for your own members, you want to make it consistent, and you want to not rebuild it each time whenever you change an AI program versus in others. And that's really our role. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:25:16Our role is to match the regulated baseline infrastructure with a tsunami of AI programs reliably. We are not aware of many or even any company that does exactly that right now. And very importantly, we are now already implemented with a new platform, with a very big market share footprint right now, that is proving to work very effectively. And the opportunity is really to use AI and to add AI to this infrastructure rather than replace it. So, saying it in summary, we believe that AI will be endorsed and adopted quite a bit across our client base, and we believe that our platform would be an important utility as our clients do that. Jailendra SinghManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Truist00:26:15Great, thanks a lot. Operator00:26:17Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Dave Larsen with BTIG. Your line is now open. Dave LarsenManaging Director, Senior Healthcare IT and Digital Health Analyst at BTIG00:26:24Hi. As we look towards 2026, can you talk about some of the headwinds and tailwinds that could cause either an increase or a risk to the guide? Thanks very much. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:26:38Hi, this is Mark. I think the most likely tailwind would be an earlier adoption of our technology-enabled platform from Options. We are participating in all 50 states RFIs, RFPs right now. We've got a significant opportunity in a few other government segments as well. We expect to hear second quarter, so only a few months from now, as to how deep our participation will be and when those revenues will commence. While we have not built any of that revenue into our current 2026 plan, we certainly believe that as a result of the pipeline being larger today than it has been in the history in all the past history of Amwell, much of that will convert into some backlog that we'll see come to fruition in 2027. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:27:46As far as any of the headwinds, you know, we do, of course, have a renewal with the DHA this summer. We're extremely confident that that will be renewed again and hopefully for longer, for a longer term. But beyond that, our other material contracts are not up for renewal in 2026. Dave LarsenManaging Director, Senior Healthcare IT and Digital Health Analyst at BTIG00:28:09Can you remind me, for the DHA renewal, what you mentioned, like, a step down in the DHA revenue. What was that related to? And then could you win that back in the summer? And if you did, how much of a step up in incremental revenue would there be related to the DHA on the same annual run rate basis? Thanks. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:28:31Yeah. So, you're correct. We experienced, unfortunately, as a result of DOGE, a elimination of our digital behavioral health and automated care programs in the summer of 2025. We had initially rolled that out to a select number of locations. It was doing extremely well. The uptake on those programs was very strong, but as a result of an overall cost efficiency mandate, they were not renewed as the contract, and the base contract was renewed. We certainly feel very, very positive about the status of that contract and the opportunity to opportunity to revisit adding those two programs to the base platform renewal coming up this summer. As far as materiality, it's, it's significant, it's material. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:29:29While we don't disclose the total value of the contract, I think we did suggest in the past, and we would going forward, that adding those two components would certainly be material. Dave LarsenManaging Director, Senior Healthcare IT and Digital Health Analyst at BTIG00:29:42Okay, thanks very much. Mark HirschhornCFO and COO at Amwell00:29:44You're welcome. Operator00:29:46Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Craig Hettenbach with Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open. Craig HettenbachManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Morgan Stanley00:29:54Yes, thank you. Ido, just teeing off of your comment around kind of small top line, but higher quality and stickier, how do you think about 2026 as a baseline in terms of the ability to kind of resume growth? And then with the business as it stands in 2026, what does the long-term growth look like? What type of growth profile can you generate with this business? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:30:19Hi, Craig. Well, you're absolutely correct. In fact, two years ago, we sold so many products to so many market segments, the market product fit was different between one versus another. As a reminder, we had APC, and we play psychiatry, sometimes in person, in hospitals, with a very big hardware business, inpatient solution, competing directly with the EHRs and things of that nature. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:30:48While we have some of it left, and we are going to always serve our clients really well, we really essentially have now reduced all those many products into one beautiful platform, but one platform. The technology-enabled care Amwell platform, and connected to our own native services and a growing array of third-party services, out of which you can add even more. When you look at the market right now, and I mentioned in my prepared remark, the incredible importance and value of diverting clinical demand from brick-and-mortar into technology-enabled care, everybody's convinced you need to really have this infrastructure. So we fully expect our sponsors, our clients, to invest in encouraging their members to use it more and more often in marketing and in cost attractiveness and things of that nature. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:31:48So there is a strong secular trend that is not going anywhere in the next two years to have people use our platform, not only for urgent care, like in the early days, but really across the entire care continuum. The infrastructure that we built is big and deep. You don't change it every day. Our sales cycles take, for a reason, 9-12, sometimes more months. But once implemented, they're really connected to the financial and clinical backbone of the sponsors, both in way of incoming traffic and in way of outgoing analytics and reporting. However, the middle ground, the area where you have all those AI-driven clinical programs, is growing extremely rapidly. And there is real motivation to add more. And as that happens, we are going to benefit from high-margin revenue for us. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:32:48I'll give you just one example. I don't recall any CFO or leadership with any payer customer that we have that is not incredibly concerned about GLP-1 spending. The ability to very easily add Vida or other programs to the existing integrated infrastructure is extremely attractive for our customers to do, and we make it incredibly simple and easy for them to do that. To summarize, we believe that the same-store growth presents a very meaningful revenue opportunity for us. In addition to that, as you know, we invested very heavily in penetrating the very hard-to-penetrate government market. I'm very pleased with our performance there, and there are many other large opportunities that are very similar to the one that we presented with the DHA. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:33:46So we do believe that the government sector represents an incredible growth opportunity as well, both in way of net new logos and even in same-store growth, like the example that Mark gave recently, to reinstate our behavioral health and maybe other alternatives. The success that we have with our existing clients is not lost on others, and many of them are really under pressure to add those programs. But they do that today with an infrastructure that is much smaller. A lot of the IT departments in payers are much smaller today because of cost pressures, so their ability to serve as an integrator for all those programs and then to match them with a different ASO is becoming much more difficult. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:34:36Amwell and the Amwell platform presents itself as a very good solution, both for them and obviously also for those vendors that can accelerate their penetration and offering into those conservative, highly regulated, clients, through our infrastructure. Operator00:34:59Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Eric Percher with Nephron Research. Your line is now open. Eric PercherCo-founder at Nephron Research00:35:06Thank you. I'd also like to dig in a little bit more on the, I think, what comes from the improvement in revenue quality. When we look at what the guidance for this coming year holds, it sounds like some de-emphasis. I know there were also divestitures that you had considered. Can you give us a little bit more on what you're de-emphasizing and where those, maybe a little bit of why the revenue is running lower than we might have expected? And does that not include any of the divestitures that you've looked at? Would those be ultimately incrementally beneficial to bottom line, while perhaps taking down top line from here where we sit in 2026? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:35:50Sure. So, Eric, what we've done really is to centralize our offering around one offering, which is the Amwell platform, and it does what we described earlier, and does it really, really well. As you know, we had other offerings in market segments where the product market fit was not great. We divested APC, and we de-emphasized other areas that are non-core. Essentially, our one product right now is still a very good match to all the market segments that we operated before, but there is one product across the segment versus many products across many segments.... The vertical position to payers and government is very strong and very sizable. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:36:35A very big part of our revenue is derived from there, and since it connects millions and tens of millions of individuals that are motivated to use the platform more and more across the ecosystem, that also presents the most important growth opportunity for us. Having said that, many health systems are now bearing risk. Many of them want to participate in different government programs like Access, and in order to do that, they really benefit from a platform like Amwell. Because you can add all those very efficient clinical programs to their current offering in a way that is integrated out of the box and is done doing that very efficiently. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:37:23So that allows us to really be very efficient in focusing on one highly attractive and differentiating product, benefit from secular demand that is growing without a lot of cost to grow it. Once we are implemented, adding programs and seeing more traction is much less expensive than creating the platform that we've done over the past few years. And of course, there are not too many of those in the market, so we fully expect that the example we gave recently with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida is not going to be a singular one. Mark, I don't know if you have anything to add. Eric PercherCo-founder at Nephron Research00:38:09I should have been more precise. Does the 26 revenue and EBITDA reflect full exit of the businesses we discussed could be exited? Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:38:19I don't think so. There is some residual activity, but it's diminishing in percentage points and in proportion, until a point where it's going to be, negligible, over the next, two years. Eric PercherCo-founder at Nephron Research00:38:34Thank you. Operator00:38:36Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question at this time, please press star one one on your touchtone telephone. Our next question comes from the line of Ryan MacDonald with Needham and Company. Your line is now open. Ryan MacDonaldManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Needham and Company00:38:48Hi, thanks for taking my questions. Ido, great to hear that you, you know, got the 15 renewals done, obviously, and sort of the, obviously the large three year renewal with Elevance. I'm curious, you know, if you could talk about sort of, how those renewals or those discussions in those renewals are informing your go-to-market approach for net new opportunities. And as you think about 2026, if you kind of look at sort of across government, payer, provider, where are you sort of skating to the fastest or where are you really focusing those go-to-market efforts in terms of, bringing in net new logos, to the business? Thanks. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:39:24Absolutely, Ryan. So I'm pleased to share that all of our renewals, as it relates to the payers that we mentioned and others, were related to the same offering to the new Amwell platform. And in many ways, while they are technically renewals, since the offering is so different than what they had in the past and our role is so different, you can consider them in many ways, a new sale or almost a net new, sale. You need to remember also that when people renew and migrate their platform into the new platform, that comes with deep integration into financial and clinical, backbone. So you don't do it, to do it very quickly, you do it as a long-term, investment. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:40:09The value of our existing customers is now demonstrated really well, and when we implement the new customers, it's really a very similar workflow. So reproducing it becomes much easier and simpler and much more efficient going forward. So as I mentioned earlier, when we look at multi-year growth, the most obvious and impactful area is sensor growth, benefiting from more programs to more people that will use it more often and more efficiently and really benefiting from those secular tailwinds. In addition to that, as Mark mentioned earlier, we have the largest pipeline we had in our history, I think, that I remember at least, for now, and it's all about this. There's nothing else. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:41:03It's about our one beautiful platform and its clinical services, and the value it should generate as an infrastructure to adopt more and more AI-powered clinical programs. So we have a lot of proof points, a lot of success point in a very large scale. When I look at the segments, commercial payers obviously is our sweet spot, blues and others, but there's no question that our advantage in the government is even bigger. And the reason is that that's a really high barrier of entry segment when you think about cybersecurity, regulations, things of that nature, and we have that right now. We spend enormous amounts and time and effort and resources getting there, and it performs really, really well. So we fully expect this to grow meaningfully over the next few years. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:41:59And lastly, we believe that a health system will participate, but in proportion, probably their contribution is going to be smaller than the first two segments I just mentioned. Operator00:42:15Thank you. I'm currently showing no further questions at this time. I'd now like to hand the call back over to Ido Schoenberg for closing remarks. Ido SchoenbergChairman and CEO at Amwell00:42:25Thank you, operator, and thank you everyone for joining. We really appreciate your support of Amwell, and we look forward to talking to you very soon. Have a good evening. Operator00:42:36This concludes today's conference. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesIdo SchoenbergChairman and CEOAnalystsMark HirschhornCFO and COO at AmwellAnalyst at Wells Fargo SecuritiesJailendra SinghManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at TruistDave LarsenManaging Director, Senior Healthcare IT and Digital Health Analyst at BTIGCraig HettenbachManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Morgan StanleyEric PercherCo-founder at Nephron ResearchRyan MacDonaldManaging Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Needham and CompanyPowered by
