The table above reconciles Summary Compensation Table pay to Compensation Actually Paid in accordance with the required methodology from Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, meaning that outstanding awards have been valued prior to vesting based on fair values. The change in fair values of RSUs across measurement dates is attributable to the change in stock prices. The change in the fair values of stock options is measured using a Black-Scholes model and is driven by changes in stock price and the expected life of the stock options as well as the prevailing stock price volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield at the measurement date.

The change in the fair values of the PRSUs reflects our projected payout factors relative to the performance metric and stock price as at fiscal year-end.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return  
Description of Relationships Between Information Presented
In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.
Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR
CEO Compensation Actual vs TSR.jpg
We believe the Pay versus Performance Table shows the alignment between compensation actually paid to the named executive officers and our performance, consistent with our compensation philosophy. Specifically, a significant portion of target named executive officer pay opportunity is tied to our stock performance.
     
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income  
Compensation Actually Paid and Net Loss
CEO Compensation Actual vs Net Loss.jpg
Net loss is not currently a financial performance measure that we use in the compensation program design for our named executive officers. Accordingly, there is not a direct relationship between the compensation actually paid to our named executive officers and net loss. The increased net loss in 2025 compared to 2024 is largely driven by $105.4 million of goodwill impairment, which is primarily due to overall declines in our stock price and market capitalization.
     
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure  
Compensation Actually Paid and Adjusted EBITDA
CEO Compensation Actual vs Adjusted EBITDA.jpg
Adjusted EBITDA is an important financial performance measure that we use in the compensation program design for our named executive officers, including the main metric used in determining the fiscal year 2023 and 2024 cash bonus and a key performance target for 2025 annual bonus PRSUs. During the earlier fiscal years presented in the Pay versus Performance Table there is minimal correlation between compensation actually paid to named executive officers and our Adjusted EBITDA performance primarily due to a significantly larger portion of the target named executive officer pay opportunity being tied to our stock performance, however, there is a stronger correlation for fiscal 2023, 2024, and 2025 compared to fiscal 2021 and 2022. Looking ahead to fiscal year 2026, we expect more alignment between Adjusted EBITDA performance and the compensation actually paid to named executive officers.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For an explanation of our management’s use of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA, please see Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure   In accordance with Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationships between compensation actually paid to named executive officers and Company performance. In this section, we refer to “compensation actually paid” and other terms used in the applicable SEC rules. For information concerning the Company’s compensation philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with its financial and operational performance, refer to the section titled “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above. We refer collectively to awards of RSUs, PRSUs, and stock options as equity awards in this Pay versus Performance sectionRepresents the total compensation reported for the CEO for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table.The calculation for “Compensation Actually Paid” is presented in the table below in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the CEO and non-CEO NEOs during the applicable year. For Health Catalyst and our peer group, the TSR for each year reflects what the cumulative value of $100 would be, including reinvestment of dividends, if such amount were invested on December 31, 2020.The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net loss reflected in our audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable year.
