Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercised control and, when applicable, entities for which the Company had a controlling financial interest or was the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the periods shown, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including, but not limited to, estimates for net administrative fees revenue, software licenses, other services and support revenue, contract assets, deferred revenue, contract costs, allowances for credit losses, reserves for net realizable value of inventory, obsolete inventory, useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, deferred tax balances including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, values of investments not publicly traded, projected future cash flows used in the evaluation of asset impairments, values of call rights, values of earn-out liabilities, and the allocation of purchase prices. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Business Combinations
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for acquisitions of a business using the acquisition method. All of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration are recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition costs are recorded as expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Third party appraisal firms and other consultants are engaged to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets and liabilities assumed. Several valuation methods may be used to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For intangible assets, the Company typically uses the income method. This method starts with a forecast of all of the expected future net cash flows for each asset. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. In the absence of a third-party appraisal, the Company uses internal valuation estimates and benchmarking based on pertinent data from comparable prior acquisitions. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the income method or other methods include the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle, and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration of any technical, legal, regulatory, or economic barriers to entry. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of an asset or liability is based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value. The Company follows a three-tiered fair value hierarchy when determining the inputs to valuation techniques. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels in order to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: consists of financial instruments whose values are based on quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market;
Level 2: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using models or other valuation methodologies that utilize inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (iii) pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument, and (iv) pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models that utilize significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable
Financial instruments, other than marketable securities, that subject the Company to potential concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of the Company’s receivables and contract assets (see below for discussion of contract assets). Receivables consist largely of amounts due from hospital and healthcare system members for services and products. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses. This allowance is an estimate and is regularly evaluated by the Company for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as past experience, credit quality of the member and other customer base, and age of the receivable balances, both individually and in the aggregate. As receivables are generally due within one year, changes to economic conditions are not expected to have a significant impact on the estimate of expected credit losses. However, economic conditions are monitored on a quarterly basis to determine if any adjustments are deemed necessary. Provisions for the allowance for expected credit losses attributable to bad debt are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Accounts
deemed uncollectible are written off, net of actual recoveries. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.
Contract Assets, Contract Costs, Deferred Revenue and Revenue Recognition
Contract Assets
The Company’s Supply Chain Services segment’s contract assets represent estimated member purchases on supplier contracts for which administrative fees have been earned but not collected. Historically, the Company has not recognized an allowance for credit losses for contract assets associated with administrative fees. The Company’s Performance Services segment’s contract assets represent revenue earned for services provided which the Company is not contractually able to bill as of the end of the respective reporting period. Under ASC Topic 326, the Company includes the Performance Services segment’s contract assets in the reserving process and assesses the risk of loss similar to the methodology of the Company’s receivables, since the contract assets are reclassified to receivables when the Company becomes entitled to payment. Accordingly, a reserve is applied upon recognition of the contract asset. Certain contract assets are due for periods greater than one year, and changes to economic conditions may have an impact on these receivables. The Company monitors economic conditions on a quarterly basis to determine if changes to the reserve are necessary.
Contract Costs
Contract costs represent amounts the Company has capitalized and reflect the incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract, which include sales commissions and costs related to implementing SaaS informatics tools. For commissions on new contracts, these costs are amortized over the life of the expected relationship with the customer for the respective performance obligation. For renewals, commissions are amortized over the contract life with the customer. Implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, once the tool is implemented, over the life of the expected relationship with the customer for the respective performance obligation, which is consistent with the transfer of services to the customer to which the implementation relates. The Company’s contract costs are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The associated amortization related to sales commissions and implementation costs is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses and cost of revenue, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of unrecognized revenue related to advanced customer invoicing or member payments received prior to fulfillment of the Company’s revenue recognition criteria. Substantially all deferred revenue consists of deferred subscription
fees and deferred consulting fees. Subscription fees for Company-hosted SaaS applications are deferred until the customer’s unique data records have been incorporated into the underlying software database or until customer site-specific software has been implemented and the customer has access to the software. Deferred consulting fees arise upon invoicing to customers prior to services being performed.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when the contract is approved and the parties are committed to perform their respective obligations, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and consideration is probable of collection.
Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount to which it expects to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method. The Company’s contracts may include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price, including, for example, revenue share, rebates, discounts, and variable fees based on performance.
The Company only includes estimated amounts of consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. These estimates require management to make complex, difficult, or subjective judgments and to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As such, the Company may not be able to reliably estimate variable fees based on performance in certain long-term arrangements due to uncertainties that are not expected to be resolved for a long period of time or when the Company’s experience with similar types of contracts is limited. Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts of consideration in the transaction price are based on information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction, and the specific facts and circumstances of each arrangement. Additionally, management performs periodic analyses to verify the accuracy of estimates for variable consideration.
Although the Company believes that its approach in developing estimates and reliance on certain judgments and underlying inputs is reasonable, actual results could differ which may result in increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts may have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises, and therefore, not distinct, while other contracts may have multiple performance obligations, most commonly due to the contract covering multiple deliverable arrangements such as licensing, subscription, consulting services, etc.
Net Administrative Fees Revenue
Net administrative fees revenue is a single performance obligation earned through a series of distinct daily services and includes maintaining a network of members to participate in the group purchasing program and providing suppliers efficiency in contracting and access to the Company’s members. Revenue is generated through administrative fees received from suppliers and is included in net administrative fees revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
The Company, through its GPO programs, aggregates member purchasing power to negotiate pricing discounts and improve contract terms with suppliers. Contracted suppliers pay the Company administrative fees which generally represent 1% to 3% of the purchase price of goods and services sold to members under the contracts the Company has negotiated. Administrative fees are variable consideration and are recognized as earned based upon estimated purchases by the Company’s members utilizing analytics based on historical member spend and updates for current trends and expectations. Administrative fees are estimated due to the difference in timing of when a member purchases on a supplier contract and when the Company receives the purchasing information. Member and supplier contracts substantiate persuasive evidence of an arrangement. The Company does not take title to the underlying equipment or products purchased by members through its GPO supplier contracts. Administrative fee revenue receivable is included in contract assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Generally, the Company records a revenue share to members equal to a percentage of gross administrative fees, which is estimated according to the members’ contractual agreements with the Company using a portfolio approach based on historical revenue share percentages and adjusted for current or anticipated trends. Revenue share is recognized as a reduction to gross administrative fees revenue to arrive at a net administrative fees revenue, and the corresponding revenue share liability is included in revenue share obligations in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Software Licenses, and Other Services and Support Revenue
The Company generates software licenses, and other services and support revenue through Supply Chain Services and Performance Services.
Within Supply Chain Services, revenue is generated through the GPO, supply chain co-management, and procure-to-pay business.
GPO.    GPO revenue generating activities include revenue from technology solutions and from additional services provided to suppliers.
Supply Chain Co-Management.    Supply chain co-management activities generate revenue in the form of a service fee for services performed under the supply chain management contracts. Service fees are billed as stipulated in the contract, and revenue is recognized on a proportional performance method as services are performed.
Procure-to-Pay.    Revenue for the procure-to-pay business primarily consists of fees from healthcare suppliers and providers as well as members and other customers. For fixed fee contracts, revenue is recognized in the period in which the services have been provided. For variable rate contracts, revenue is recognized as customers are invoiced after services have been provided.
Performance Services revenue consists of revenue generated through the Company’s technology and services platform. The main sources of revenue under technology and services platform are (i) subscription agreements to the Company’s SaaS-based clinical intelligence, margin improvement, and value-based care products, (ii) licensing revenue, (iii) professional fees for consulting services, and (iv) other miscellaneous revenue including data licenses, annual subscriptions to the Company’s performance improvement collaboratives, insurance services management fees, and commissions from endorsed commercial insurance programs.
SaaS-based Products Subscriptions:    SaaS-based clinical analytics subscriptions include the right to access the Company’s proprietary hosted technology on a SaaS basis, training and member support to deliver improvements in cost management, margin improvement, quality and safety, value-based care, and provider analytics. SaaS arrangements create a single performance obligation for each subscription within the contract in which the nature of the obligation is a stand-ready obligation, and each day of service meets the criteria for over time recognition. Pricing varies by application and size of healthcare system. Clinical analytics products subscriptions are generally three- to five-year agreements with automatic renewal clauses and annual price escalators that typically do not allow for early termination. These agreements do not allow for physical possession of the software. Subscription fees are typically billed on a monthly basis, and revenue is recognized as a single deliverable on a straight-line basis over the remaining contractual period following implementation. Implementation involves the completion of data preparation services that are unique to each member’s data set in order to access and transfer member data into the Company’s hosted SaaS-based clinical analytics products. Implementation is generally 60 to 240 days following contract execution before the SaaS-based clinical analytics products can be fully utilized by the member.
Software Licenses:    Enterprise analytics licenses include term licenses that generally range from three to ten years and offer clinical analytics products, improvements in cost management, quality and safety, value-based care, and provider analytics. Pricing varies by application and size of healthcare system. Revenue on licensing is recognized upon delivery of the software code, and revenue from hosting and maintenance is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.
Consulting Services:    Consulting services are provided under contracts whose terms vary according to the specific nature of each engagement. These services typically include general consulting, report-based consulting and margin improvement initiatives. Promised services under such consulting engagements are typically not considered distinct and are regularly combined and accounted for as one performance obligation. Fees are billed as stipulated in the contract, and revenue is recognized on a proportional performance method as services are performed or when deliverables are provided. In situations where the contracts have significant contract performance guarantees, the performance guarantees are estimated and accounted for as a form of variable consideration when determining the transaction price. In the event that guaranteed savings levels are not achieved, the Company may have to perform additional services at no additional charge in order to achieve the guaranteed savings or pay the difference between the savings that were guaranteed and the actual achieved savings. Occasionally, the Company’s entitlement to consideration is predicated on the occurrence of an event such as the delivery of a report for which client acceptance is required. However, except for event-driven point-in-time transactions, the majority of services provided within this service line are delivered over time due to the continuous benefit provided to the Company’s customers.
Consulting arrangements can require estimates for the transaction price and estimated number of hours within an engagement. These estimates are based on the expected value which is derived from outcomes from historical contracts that are similar in nature and forecasted amounts based on anticipated savings for the new agreements. The transaction price is generally constrained until the target transaction price becomes more certain.
Other Miscellaneous Revenue:
Revenue from data licenses which provide customers data from the technology and services platform healthcare database. The revenue from the data deliverables is recognized upon delivery of the data.
Revenue from performance improvement collaboratives that support the Company’s offerings in cost management, quality and safety, and value-based care is recognized over the service period as the services are provided, which is generally one to three years. Performance improvement collaboratives revenue is considered one performance obligation and is generated by providing customers access to online communities whereby data is housed and available for analytics and benchmarking.
Insurance services management fees are recognized in the period in which such services are provided. Commissions from insurance carriers for sponsored insurance programs are earned by acting as an intermediary in the placement of effective insurance policies. Under this arrangement, revenue is recognized at a point in time on the effective date of the associated policies when control of the policy transfers to the customer and is constrained for estimated early terminations.
Multiple Deliverable Arrangements
The Company enters into agreements where the individual deliverables discussed above, such as SaaS subscriptions, term licenses, and consulting services, are bundled into a single service arrangement. These agreements are generally provided over a time period ranging from approximately one to five years after the applicable contract execution date. On occasion, agreements may range up to 10 years. The Company uses judgment in determining the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) for products and services. Revenue, including both fixed and variable consideration, is allocated to the individual performance obligations within the arrangement based on the SSP. The Company typically establishes a SSP range for products and services which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. Term licenses are sold only as a bundled arrangement that includes the rights to a term license and support. In determining the SSP of license and support in a term license arrangement, the Company applies observable inputs using the value relationship between support and term license and the average economic life of the products.
The Company also enters into agreements that bundle GPO services with technology and consulting services. These agreements typically provide for sharing of administrative fees received from suppliers and rebates paid to members, or net administrative fees, as well as fees from members for their access to or use of technology or consulting services.
The overall estimated transaction price, including net administrative fees and any fees for technology or consulting services, is allocated based on their respective SSP as part of an initial scoping to bifurcate the net administrative fees from the other components in the bundle. The Company uses judgment in determining the SSP for net administrative fees, technology, and services and typically establish a range for each area, which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. Following this scoping allocation, the amount allocated to each component is recognized as revenue as described above.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the respective period. Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Capitalized modifications to leased properties are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the assets’ estimated useful lives. See Note 8 - Supplemental Balance Sheet Information.
Costs associated with internally-developed computer software that are incurred in the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. During the development stage and once the project has reached technological feasibility, direct consulting costs and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees that are directly associated with each project are capitalized. Capitalized software costs are included in property and equipment, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related software applications of up to five years, and amortization is included in cost of revenue or selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income based on the software’s end use. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this process involve determining the stages of the software development project, the direct costs to capitalize and the estimated useful life of the capitalized software. The Company capitalized costs related to internally-developed software of $70.5 million and $73.4 million during the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable from the estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current and projected operating results, trends, and prospects, the manner in which the asset or asset group is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of member relationships, technology, customer relationships, trade names, and non-compete agreements and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. See Note 9 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
The Company reviews the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the intangible asset subject to amortization may not be recoverable from the estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset subject to amortization on the measurement date. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current and projected operating results, trends, and prospects, the manner in which the definite-lived intangible asset is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing as of the first day of the last fiscal quarter of its fiscal year unless impairment indicators are present which could require an interim impairment test.
Under accounting rules, the Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. This qualitative assessment requires an evaluation of any excess of fair value over the carrying value for a reporting unit and significant judgment regarding potential changes in valuation inputs, including a review of the Company’s most recent long-range projections, analysis of operating results versus the prior year, changes in market values, changes in discount rates, and changes in terminal growth rate assumptions. If it is determined that an impairment is more likely than not to exist, then the Company is required to perform a quantitative assessment to determine whether or not goodwill is impaired and to measure the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.
A goodwill impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis as well as market-based approaches. Significant assumptions utilized in determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, revenue growth rates (including perpetual growth rates), EBITDA margin percentages, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows of the reporting unit’s business. The cash flows employed in the discounted cash flow analyses are based on the most recent budget and long-term forecast plus a terminal value based on capitalizing the last period’s cash flows using a perpetual growth rate. The discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analyses are intended to reflect the risks inherent in the future cash flows of the respective reporting units. The market comparable approach estimates fair value using market multiples of various financial measures compared to a set of comparable public companies and recent comparable transactions.
Treasury Stock and Share Retirement
Treasury Stock and Share Retirement
Treasury stock purchases are recorded at cost. As the Company retires treasury shares acquired through share repurchases, the Company returns those shares to the status of authorized but unissued. When treasury shares are retired, the Company’s policy is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to retained earnings.
Liability Related to the Sale of Future Revenues
Liability Related to the Sale of Future Revenues
The Company accounts for the sale of future revenues as a liability with both current and non-current portions. In order to determine the timing of the reduction in debt associated with the sale of future revenues, the Company estimates the total future revenues expected to be remitted to the purchaser. The Company recognizes interest expense based on an estimated effective annual interest rate. The Company determines the effective interest rate based on recognized and expected future revenue and maintains a consistent interest rate throughout the life of the agreement. This estimate contains significant assumptions that impact both the amount of debt and the interest expense recorded over the life of the agreement. To the extent the amount or timing of future payments varies materially from the original estimate, the Company will make a cumulative adjustment to the carrying amount of the debt, which will be recorded as a non-cash gain or loss in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 11 - Liability Related to the Sale of Future Revenues.
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Related Liabilities
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Related Liabilities
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for the benefit of eligible employees. This plan is designed to permit employee deferrals in excess of certain tax limits and provides for discretionary employer contributions in excess of the tax limits applicable to the Company’s 401(k) plan. The amounts deferred are invested in assets at the direction of the employee. Company assets designated to pay benefits under the plan are held by a rabbi trust and are subject to the general creditors of the Company.
The assets, classified as trading securities, and liabilities of the rabbi trust are recorded at fair value and are accounted for as assets and liabilities of the Company. The assets of the rabbi trust are designated to fund the deferred compensation plan liabilities owed to current and former employees. The deferred compensation plan contains both current and non-current assets. The current portion of the deferred compensation plan assets is comprised of estimated amounts to be paid within one year to departed participants following separation from the Company.
Leases
Leases
The Company enters into lease contracts in which the Company is the lessee, substantially all of which are related to office space leased in various buildings used for general corporate purposes. The terms of these non-cancelable operating leases typically require the Company to pay rent and a share of operating expenses and real estate taxes, generally with an inflation-based rent increase included. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term beginning at the commencement date. Operating lease right-of-use assets are adjusted for lease incentives, deferred rent, and initial direct costs, if incurred. The Company’s leases generally do not include an implicit rate; therefore, the Company determined the present value of future minimum lease payments using an incremental borrowing rate based on information available as of July 1, 2019, the Company’s transition to ASC Topic 842. For subsequent leases entered into after the transition to ASC Topic 842, the Company determined the present value of future minimum lease payments using an incremental borrowing rate based on information available as of the respective lease commencement date. The related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of Revenue
Cost of services and software licenses revenue includes expenses related to employees (including compensation and benefits) and outside consultants who directly provide services related to revenue-generating activities, including consulting services to members and other customers, and implementation services related to SaaS informatics tools and licensed software products along with associated amortization of certain capitalized contract costs. Cost of services and software licenses revenue also includes expenses related to data center capacity costs, third-party product license expenses, and amortization of the cost of internally-developed software.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of expenses directly associated with selling and administrative employees, indirect expenses associated with employees that primarily support revenue generating activities (including compensation and benefits) and travel-related expenses, as well as occupancy and other indirect expenses, insurance expenses, professional fees, hosting services, expenses incurred to maintain the Company’s software-related products and services including contractor expenses, and other general overhead expenses. SG&A expenses can also include impairment of goodwill, intangibles, or other long-lived assets.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist of employee-related compensation and benefits expenses and third-party consulting fees of technology professionals for internally-developed computer software that are incurred prior to reaching technological feasibility.
Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets
Amortization of purchased intangible assets includes the amortization of all identified definite-lived intangible assets resulting from acquisitions.
Advertising Costs
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates as well as net operating losses and credit carryforwards, which will be in effect when these differences reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company prepares and files tax returns based on interpretations of tax laws and regulations. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities in the normal course of business. Such examinations may result in future tax, interest, and penalty assessments by these taxing authorities.
In determining the Company’s tax expense for financial reporting purposes, the Company establishes a reserve when there are transactions, calculations, and tax filing positions for which the tax determination is uncertain and it is more likely than not that such positions would not be sustained upon examinations.
The Company adjusts its tax reserve estimates periodically based on the changes in facts and circumstances, such as ongoing examinations by, and settlements with, various taxing authorities, as well as changes in tax laws, regulations, and interpretations. The consolidated tax expense of any given year includes adjustments to prior year income tax reserves and related estimated interest charges that are considered appropriate. The Company’s policy is to recognize, when applicable, interest and penalties on uncertain income tax positions as part of income tax expense.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders’ equity during a period from non-owner sources. Net income and other comprehensive income are reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share (''EPS'')
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potentially issuable dilutive shares of Class A common stock (“Common Stock”), unless the effect of such inclusion would result in the reduction of a loss or the increase in income per share. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock increased by the dilutive effects of potentially issuable dilutive shares of Common Stock during the period. The number of potential common shares outstanding is determined in accordance with the treasury stock method.

These amendments are intended to provide more information about types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard and the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
