Throughout the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, "we," "us," "our", "MultiPlan", and the "Company" and similar terms refer to Polaris and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Transactions, and MultiPlan and its subsidiaries after the Transactions.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MultiPlan Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate and make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of MultiPlan Corporation and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 20202021 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature (except as otherwise noted), necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 have been included.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from the Company's estimates. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of Private Placement Warrants and unvested founder shares, valuation of stock-based compensation awards and income taxes.

COVID-19 has negatively impacted our business, results of operations and financial condition during 2020 andsince the three months ended March 31, 2021. Effects from COVID-19 began to impact our business in first quarter of 2020 withas various federal, state, and local governments and private entities mandatingmandated, and in some cases continue to mandate, restrictions on travel, restrictions on public gatherings, closure of non-essential commerce, and shelter in place orders. ExcludingFor the effectthree months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s revenues continue to be negatively impacted as a result of the HSTmedical charges received on non-COVID claims from customers not yet reaching pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels due to fewer elective medical procedures and DHP acquisitions, the Company has experiencednon-essential medical services. Such negative impacts, however, have been to a net decline in revenues of approximately 1.7% for the first three months of 2021 aslesser extent compared to the same period in the prior year partly due to reduced volume2020 and change in claims mix from customers2021 as a result ofvaccination rates have increased and restrictions on elective medical procedures and non-essential medical services.services have been lifted. The extent of the ultimate impact of COVID-19 will depend on the severity and duration of the evolving pandemic. Future developments remain uncertain, including the widespread availability and distributionnumber of COVID-19 vaccines,confirmed cases, the emergence of highly contagious variants, and any actions taken by federal, state and local governments such as economic relief efforts, as well as U.S. and global economies, consumer behavior and healthcare utilization patterns.

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the

In addition, all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented.

The following table presents revenues disaggregated by services and contract types:

Due to the nature of our arrangements, certain estimates may be constrained if it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved. For our percentage of savings contracts, portions of revenue that is recognized and collected in a reporting period may be returned or credited in subsequent periods. These credits are the result of payers not utilizing the discounts that were initially calculated, or differences between the Company’s estimates of savings achieved for a customer and the amounts self-reported in the following month by that same customer. Significant judgment is used in constraining estimates of variable consideration, and is based upon both client-specific and aggregated factors that include historical billing and adjustment data, client contract terms, and performance guarantees. We update our estimates at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. There have not been any material changes to estimates of variable consideration for performance obligations satisfied prior to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The timing of payments from customers from time to time generates contract assets or contract liabilities, however these amounts are immaterial in all periods presented.

As of March 31, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, long-term debt consisted of the following:

The Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants and unvested founder shares as a liability on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as these instruments are precluded from being indexed to our own stock given the terms allow for a settlement that does not meet the scope of the fixed-for-fixed exception in Accounting Standards Codification 815.

The Private Placement Warrants and unvested founder shares were initially recorded at fair value on the date of consummation of the Transactions and are subsequently adjusted to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants were $29.3 million and $44.5$38.0 million, respectively, and the fair value of the unvested founder shares were $36.9$32.0 million and $62.1$36.0 million, respectively. From December 31, 2020 toFor the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, and primarily as a result of the decreasevariations in the price of the Company's Class A common stock over that period,those periods, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants decreased by $8.7 million and the fair value of the unvested founder shares decreased by $15.2 million and $25.2 million, respectively and the$4.0 million. The corresponding gain is recognized within change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and unvested founder shares in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).income.

Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value represents an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:

Certain financial instruments which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists primarily of accounts receivable.

As of December 31, 2021, we estimated the fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities of finance lease obligations, based on estimates using present value techniques that arewere significantly affected by the assumptions used

The Private Placement Warrants and unvested founder shares are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these instruments was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market which would represent a level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses an option pricing simulation to estimate the fair value of these instruments.

We also measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill and long-lived tangible and intangible assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We estimate the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. There were no material impairment charges for these assets for fiscal years 20212022 and 2020.2021.

The Company has certain irrevocable letters of credit used to satisfy real estate lease agreements for three of our offices in lieu of security deposits in the amount of $1.8 million outstanding as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

We accrue for costs associated with certain contingencies, including, but not limited to, settlement of legal proceedings, regulatory compliance matters and self-insurance exposures when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are included in other accrued expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we accrue for legal fees incurred in defense of asserted litigation and regulatory matters as such legal fees are incurred. To the extent it is probable under our existing insurance coverage that we are able to recover losses and legal fees related to contingencies, we record such recoveries concurrently with the accrual of the related loss or legal fees. Significant management judgment is required to estimate the amounts of such contingent liabilities and the related insurance recoveries. In our determination of the probability and ability to estimate contingent liabilities and related insurance recoveries we consider the following: litigation exposure based on currently available information, consultations with external legal counsel, adequacy and applicability of existing insurance coverage and other pertinent facts and circumstances regarding the contingency. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances change, or contingencies are resolved; and such changes are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) during the period of the change and appropriately reflected in other accrued liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Basic and diluted earnings and loss per share was calculated as follows:

As of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we have excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share the instruments whose effect would have been anti-dilutive, including (i) 58,500,000 warrants outstanding, (ii) 100,000,000 shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Senior Convertible PIK Notes, and (iii) 12,404,080 unvested founder shares, and (iv) 4,303,074 unvestedshares. Additionally, we have excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share awards within the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, awards. The remaining 5,214 unvested 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan awards were found towhose effect would have a dilutive effectbeen anti-dilutive of 130 shares using the treasury stock method.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) include expenses and revenues to and from related parties for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 as follows:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include accruals from related parties as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 as follows:

Effects from COVID-19 began to impact our business in first quarter 2020 with various federal, state, and the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Our business and revenues are driven by the ability to lower medical costs through claims savings for our customers. The medical charges of those claims can influence our ability to generate claim savings.

The following table presents the medical charges processed and the potential savings identified for the periods presented:

_____________________________

We generate revenues from several sources including: (i) Network-Based Services that process claims at a discount compared to billed fee-for-service rates and by using an extensive network, (ii) Analytics-Based Services that use our leading and proprietary information technology platform to offer customers solutions to reduce medical costs, (ii) Network-Based Services that process claims at a discount compared to billed fee-for-service rates and by using an extensive network and (iii) Payment and Revenue Integrity Services that use data, technology, and clinical expertise to identify improper, unnecessary and excessive charges. Payors typically compensate us through either a PSAV achieved or a PEPM rate.

Costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets) consist of all costs specifically associated with claims processing activities for customers, sales and marketing, and the development and maintenance of our networks, analytics-based services, and payment and revenue integrity services. Two of the largest components in costs of services are personnel expenses and access and bill review fees. Access and bill review fees include fees for accessing non-owned third-party provider networks, expenses associated with vendor fees for database access and systems technology used to reprice claims, and outsourced services. Third-party network expenses are fees paid to non-owned provider networks used to supplement our owned network assets to provide more network claim savings to our customers.

General and administrative expenses include corporate management and governance functions composed of general management, legal, treasury, tax, real estate, financial reporting, auditing, benefits and human resource administration, communications, public relations, billing and information management. In addition, general and administrative expenses include taxes, insurance, advertising, transaction costs, and other general expenses.

Depreciation expense consists of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment related to our investments in leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment, computer hardware and software, and internally generated capitalized software development costs. We provide for depreciation and amortization on property and equipment using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives.

Amortization of intangible assets includes amortization of the value of our customer relationships, provider network, technology, and trademarks which were identified in valuing the intangible assets in connection with the June 6, 2016 acquisition by H&F, as well as recent acquisitions by the Company. The acquisitions of HST and DHP contributed to an increase in intangibles recorded onby the balance sheet of $32.2 million and $41.1 million, respectively, for customer relationships, trade names, and technology.Company.

Interest income consists primarily of bank interest.

The Company remeasures at each reporting period the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and unvested founder shares. The changechanges in fair value of $40.4 million wasare primarily due to the changechanges in the stock price of the Company's Class A common stock, the expected stock volatility and the passage of time over the reporting period.

Income tax expense consists of federal, state, and local income taxes. Our income tax provision (benefit) and effective tax rate could be affected by future changes in tax law and changes to business activity in the jurisdictions in which we operate which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to evaluate our financial performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per shareEPS are financial measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our financial operating results of our core business.

These measurements of financial performance have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Some of these limitations are:

In evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in the presentation.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS are widely used measures of corporate profitability eliminating the effects of financing and capital expenditures from the operating results. We define EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, interest income, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and non-income taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core business, including other expense,expenses, change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and unvested founder shares, transaction related expenses, loss (gain) on the debt extinguishment, lossgain on investments and stock-based compensation. See our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding these adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is used in our agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness for debt covenant compliance purposes. Our Adjusted EBITDA calculation is consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used in our debt instruments.

Adjusted EPS is used in reporting to our Board and executive management and as a component of the measurement of our performance. We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors because it is the profitability measure we use to evaluate earnings performance on a comparable year-to-year basis. Adjusted EPS is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, transaction related expenses, lossgain on investments, loss (gain) on debt extinguishment, other expense, change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants and unvested founder shares and tax effect of adjustments to arrive at Adjusted net income divided by our basic weighted average number of shares outstanding.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:
