How did operating margins, EBITDA, and cost‑structure metrics compare to expectations and prior periods?

I’m sorry, but the brief you provided only notes that LifeStance Health Group announced its second‑quarter 2025 results. It does not include any figures—or commentary—on operating margins, EBITDA, or cost‑structure metrics, nor does it mention how those numbers compare to analysts’ expectations or to prior periods.

Because those details aren’t in the excerpt you shared, I can’t give a data‑driven comparison. If you can supply the specific operating‑margin, EBITDA, and cost‑structure numbers (or a more detailed press‑release), I’d be happy to analyze how they stack up against forecasts and the company’s historical performance. Otherwise, you may need to consult the full earnings release or the company’s investor‑relations website for the missing metrics.
