Nature of the Action:

Federal securities class action alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The lawsuit asserts that Ardent and certain executives made materially false and/or misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s financial condition, revenue recognition practices, internal accounting controls, and exposure to liabilities.

Key Allegations:

The complaint centers on disclosures made on November 12, 2025, when Ardent revealed:

• A $43 million reduction in Q3 2025 revenue, attributed to revised accounts receivable collectability determinations following the implementation of a new revenue accounting system (Kodiak RCA net revenue platform).
• The new system recognized reserves earlier in the life cycle of receivables, replacing a prior framework that used a 180-day “cliff,” allegedly revealing weaknesses in prior revenue recognition practices.
• A reduction in full-year 2025 EBITDA guidance by approximately $57.5 million at the midpoint (about 9.6%), citing persistent industry-wide cost pressures, including payer denials.
• A $54 million increase in professional liability reserves related to recent settlements and ongoing litigation tied to a limited set of claims from 2019–2022 in New Mexico, as well as broader industry “social inflation” trends.

Market Reaction:

Following these announcements, Ardent’s stock price fell $4.75 per share, or approximately 33.81%, closing at $9.30 on November 13, 2025.

Lead Plaintiff Deadline:

Investors seeking appointment as Lead Plaintiff must file a motion with the court no later than March 9, 2026.
