The total value of the transaction is up to $113M, payable in cash. This includes $100M at closing, with the remaining balance due in Fall 2026 based on the final MSSP performance for 2025. Evolent plans to use all net proceeds from the sale to repay borrowings on its senior credit facility. This strategic divestiture is intended to allow Evolent to focus on its core specialty business while accelerating its path to reducing leverage and improving cash flow.
Evolent estimates that ECP is currently generating roughly $10M in adjusted EBITDA.
