      SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

      Fourth Quarter 2019 Overview

      • Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $301.7 million, a 124% increase compared to $134.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.
      • GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $88.8 million compared to net income of $26.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.
      • Adjusted EBITDA was $142.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $51.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.
      • Fourth quarter 2019 revenue and adjusted EBITDA include the positive impact of $42.3 million in revenue resulting from a change in estimate for expected cash commission collections relating to existing Medicare Advantage plans enrolled in prior to the fourth quarter.
      • Fourth quarter 2019 approved members for all Medicare products grew 88% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.

      eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: EHTH), a leading private online health insurance exchange, announces today its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

      Scott Flanders, chief executive officer of eHealth stated, "We ended the year on a strong note, delivering the best annual enrollment period in the company's history and generating financial results that significantly exceeded our 2019 annual guidance across multiple metrics, including revenue, GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA.  We also significantly increased our Medicare enrollment volumes and the number of major medical Medicare applications submitted online through our platform compared to a year ago - a critical element of our Medicare growth strategy.  I would like to emphasize that the high level of enrollment and revenue growth that we achieved in 2019 were accompanied by meaningful adjusted EBITDA and GAAP net income margin expansion compared to 2018.  Looking ahead, we anticipate the momentum we have built over the past two years to continue into 2020, and we believe we are well-positioned to continue outpacing the overall Medicare market growth as a result of our strong consumer value proposition, the depth of our technology platform and our demand generation expertise."

      During the fourth quarter of 2019, eHealth worked with an external corporate valuation consultant to enhance its approach to estimating the lifetime values of plans it sold and to incorporate statistical tools to increase the accuracy of these estimates with an emphasis on improving member retention forecasting.  Fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial results reflect the impact of the changes made to enhance eHealth's Medicare Advantage plan lifetime value forecasting model resulting from this project. Specifically, our fourth quarter and full year 2019 revenue each included a positive impact of $50.8 million from the change in estimate for expected cash commission collections relating to outstanding Medicare Advantage plans. Of this amount, $42.3 million is a change in estimate in expected cash commission collections for Medicare Advantage plans since we began selling such products through the third quarter of 2019.

      Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the financial results discussed below include, where applicable, the $42.3 million impact (affected by tax for net income and net income per share) from the change in estimate of expected cash commission collections.

      GAAP — Fourth Quarter of 2019 Results

      Revenue — Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $301.7 million, a 124% increase compared to $134.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Commission revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $282.1 million, a 131% increase compared to $122.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Other revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $19.7 million, a 55% increase compared to $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

      Excluding the impact of the $42.3 million change in estimate discussed above, our total revenue and commission revenue were $259.4 million and $239.8 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2019.

      Revenue from our Medicare segment was $282.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a 132% increase compared to $121.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of the $42.3 million change in estimate discussed above, our Medicare segment revenue was $240.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Revenue from our Individual, Family and Small Business segment was $19.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a 44% increase compared to $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

      Income from Operations — Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $123.1 million compared to income from operations of $41.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Operating margin was 41% for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 31% for the fourth quarter of 2018.

      Pre-tax Income — Pre-tax income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $123.4 million compared to pre-tax income of $41.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

      Provision for Income Taxes — Provision for income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $34.6 million compared to provision for income taxes of $15.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

      Net Income — Net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $88.8 million, or $3.58 net income per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.1 million, or $1.25 net income per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 included a non-cash charge of $9.0 million related to an increase in fair value of the earnout liability assumed in connection with eHealth's acquisition of GoMedigap compared to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by eHealth's share price appreciation. The share price appreciation has increased the value of the equity-based portion of the earnout consideration owed to the former holders of GoMedigap equity interests.

      Segment Profit — Profit from our Medicare segment was $149.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to a profit of $58.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of the $42.3 million change in estimate discussed above, our Medicare segment profit was $107.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Profit from our Individual, Family and Small Business segment was $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

      Non-GAAP — Fourth Quarter of 2019 Results

      Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Net Income — Non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $141.8 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $51.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP operating margin was 47% for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 38% for the fourth quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $102.5 million, or $4.13 non-GAAP net income per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $35.7 million, or $1.72 non-GAAP net income per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018.

      Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2019 are calculated by excluding $9.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, a $9.0 million expense related to the change in fair value of earnout liability related to our acquisition of GoMedigap, and $0.5 million of amortization of intangible assets from GAAP net operating income and GAAP operating margin. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2019 are calculated by excluding $9.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $9.0 million expense related to the change in fair value of earnout liability related to our acquisition of GoMedigap, $0.5 million of amortization of intangible assets and $5.0 million of the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments from GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share.

      Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2018 are calculated by excluding $3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, $6.0 million expense for change in fair value of earnout liability related to our acquisition of GoMedigap, and $0.5 million of amortization of intangible assets from GAAP net operating income and GAAP operating margin. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2018 are calculated by excluding $3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, $6.0 million expense for change in fair value of earnout liability related to our acquisition of GoMedigap, and $0.5 million of amortization of intangible assets from GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share.

      Adjusted EBITDA — Adjusted EBITDA was $142.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $51.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of the $42.3 million change in estimate discussed above, our adjusted EBITDA was $100.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding stock-based compensation, change in fair value of earnout liability related to our acquisition of GoMedigap, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition costs, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, other income, net, and provision for income taxes to GAAP net income.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 26% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 12% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

      Adjusted EBITDA — Adjusted EBITDA was $133.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $33.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

      2020 Guidance

      Based on information available as of February 20, 2020, eHealth is providing its guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These expectations are forward-looking statements and eHealth assumes no obligation to update these statements. Actual results may be materially different and are affected by the risk factors and uncertainties identified in this press release and in eHealth's annual and quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      The following guidance is for the full year ending December 31, 2020:

      • Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $580.0 million to $620.0 million. Revenue from the Medicare segment is expected to be in the range of $533.0 million to $569.0 million. Revenue from the Individual, Family and Small Business segment is expected to be in the range of $47.0 million to $51.0 million.
      • Adjusted EBITDA(a) is expected to be in the range of $120.0 million to $135.0 million.
      • Medicare segment profit(b) is expected to be in the range of $152.0 million to $169.0 million, and Individual, Family and Small Business segment profit is expected to be in the range of $17.0 million to $18.0 million.
      • Corporate(c) shared service expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, is expected to be in range of $49.0 million to $52.0 million
      • Cash used in operations is expected to be in the range of $52.0 million to $55.0 million, and cash used for capital expenditures is expected to be $18.0 million to $20.0 million.
      • GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $68.0 million to $83.0 million.
      • GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $2.64 to $3.23 per share.
      • Non-GAAP net income per diluted share(d) is expected to be in the range of $3.56 to $4.09 per share.

      (a)

      Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding stock-based compensation, change in fair value of earnout liability, depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of intangible assets, other income, net, and provision for income taxes to GAAP net income.

      (b)

      Segment profit is calculated as revenue for the applicable segment less Marketing and Advertising, Customer Care and Enrollment, Technology and Content and General and Administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, change in fair value of earnout liability, depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of intangible assets, that are directly attributable to the applicable segment and other indirect Marketing and Advertising, Customer Care and Enrollment and Technology and Content operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of intangible assets, allocated to the applicable segment based on usage.

      (c)

      Corporate consists of other indirect General and Administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, which are managed in a corporate shared services environment and, since they are not the responsibility of segment operating management, are not allocated to the reportable segments.

      (d)

      Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is calculated by adding stock-based compensation expense per diluted share, change in fair value of earnout liability per diluted share, intangible asset amortization expense per diluted share and the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments to GAAP net income per diluted share.

      Non-GAAP Financial Information

      This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement eHealth's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, eHealth presents investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income (loss); non-GAAP operating margins; non-GAAP net income (loss); non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share; and adjusted EBITDA.

      • Non-GAAP operating income (loss) consists of GAAP operating income (loss) excluding the following items:
        • the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units,
        • change in fair value of earnout liability,
        • acquisition costs,
        • restructuring charges, and
        • amortization of intangible assets.

      • Non-GAAP operating margins are calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income (loss) by GAAP total revenue.

      • Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of GAAP net income (loss) excluding the following items:
        • the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units,
        • change in fair value of earnout liability,
        • acquisition costs,
        • restructuring charges,
        • amortization of intangible assets, and
        • the income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments.

      • Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share consists of GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share excluding the following items:
        • the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units per diluted share,
        • change in fair value of earnout liability per diluted share,
        • acquisition costs per diluted share,
        • restructuring charges per diluted share,
        • amortization of intangible assets per diluted share, and
        • the income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments per diluted share.

      • Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding stock-based compensation, change in fair value of earnout liability, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition costs, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, other income (expense), net and provision (benefit) for income taxes to GAAP net income (loss).

      eHealth believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to eHealth's financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with eHealth's past financial reports. Management also believes that the items described above provides an additional measure of eHealth's operating results and facilitates comparisons of eHealth's core operating performance against prior periods and business model objectives. This information is provided to investors in order to facilitate additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate eHealth's ongoing operations. eHealth believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in their assessment of eHealth's operating performance.

      Non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the revenue and costs associated with the operations of eHealth's business and do not reflect income tax as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of eHealth's results as reported under GAAP. eHealth expects to continue to incur the stock-based compensation costs and purchased intangible asset amortization costs described above, and exclusion of these costs, and their related income tax benefits, from non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. eHealth compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP operating income (loss), GAAP operating margins, GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and providing investors with reconciliations from eHealth's GAAP operating results to the non-GAAP financial measures for the relevant periods.

      The accompanying tables provide more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

      Segment Information

      We evaluate our business performance and manage our operations as two distinct reporting segments:


      •    Medicare; and


      •    Individual, Family and Small Business.



      (1)

      The Medicare segment consists primarily of amounts earned from our sale of Medicare-related health insurance plans, including Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, and to a lesser extent, ancillary products sold to our Medicare-eligible customers, including but not limited to, dental and vision, our advertising program that allows Medicare-related carriers to purchase advertising on a separate website developed, hosted and maintained by us, and our delivery and sale to third parties of Medicare-related health insurance leads generated by our ecommerce platforms and our marketing activities.

      (2)

      The Individual, Family and Small Business segment consists primarily of amounts earned from our sale of individual, family and small business health insurance plans and ancillary products sold to our non-Medicare-eligible customers, including but not limited to, dental, vision, and short-term insurance. To a lesser extent, the Individual, Family and Small Business segment consists of amounts earned from our online sponsorship program that allows carriers to purchase advertising space in specific markets in a sponsorship area on our website, our licensing to third parties the use of our health insurance ecommerce technology, and our delivery and sale to third parties of individual and family health insurance leads generated by our ecommerce platforms and our marketing activities.

      (3)

      Segment profit is calculated as revenue for the applicable segment less marketing and advertising, customer care and enrollment, technology and content and general and administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition costs, change in fair value of earnout liability, restructuring charges and amortization of intangible assets, that are directly attributable to the applicable segment and other indirect marketing and advertising, customer care and enrollment and technology and content operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of intangible assets, allocated to the applicable segment based on usage.

      (4)

      Corporate consists of other indirect general and administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, which are managed in a corporate shared services environment and, because they are not the responsibility of segment operating management, are not allocated to the reportable segments.

      For the fourth quarter and full year 2019, net commission revenue for Medicare members approved in prior periods were $50.1 million and $55.3 million, respectively, each included a positive impact of $50.8 million from the change in estimate for expected cash commission collections relating to outstanding Medicare Advantage plans. Of this amount, $42.3 million is a change in estimate in expected cash commission collections for Medicare Advantage plans since we began selling such products through the third quarter of 2019.

      (3)

      These amounts reflect our revised estimates of cash collections for certain members approved prior to the relevant reporting period that are recognized as adjustments to revenue within the relevant reporting period. These amounts include revenue associated with renewing small business health insurance members.

      To estimate the number of members on Medicare-related health insurance plans, we take the sum of (i) the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment for a month that may be up to three months prior to the date of estimation (after reducing that number using historical experience for assumed member cancellations over the period being estimated); and (ii) the number of approved members over that period (after reducing that number using historical experience for an assumed number of members who do not accept their approved policy and for estimated member cancellations through the date of the estimate). To the extent we determine we have received substantially all of the commission payments related to a given month during the period being estimated, we will take the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation.

      (2)

      To estimate the number of members on Individual and Family health insurance plans ("IFP"), we take the sum of (i) the number of IFP members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment for a month that may be up to three months prior to the date of estimation after reducing that number using historical experience for assumed member cancellations over the period being estimated; and (ii) the number of approved members over that period (after reducing that number using historical experience for an assumed number of members who do not accept their approved policy and for estimated member cancellations through the date of the estimate). To the extent we determine we have received substantially all of the commission payments related to a given month during the period being estimated, we will take the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation.

      (3)

      To estimate the number of members on ancillary health insurance plans (such as short-term, dental and vision insurance), we take the sum of (i) the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment for a month that may be up to three months prior to the date of estimation (after reducing that number using historical experience for assumed member cancellations over the period being estimated); and (ii) the number of approved members over that period (after reducing that number using historical experience for an assumed number of members who do not accept their approved policy and for estimated member cancellations through the date of the estimate). To the extent we determine we have received substantially all of the commission payments related to a given month during the period being estimated, we will take the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation. The one to three-month period varies by insurance product and is largely dependent upon the timeliness of commission payment and related reporting from the related carriers.

      (4)

      To estimate the number of members on small business health insurance plans, we use the number of initial members at the time the group was approved, and we update this number for changes in membership if such changes are reported to us by the group or carrier. However, groups generally notify the carrier directly of policy cancellations and increases or decreases in group size without informing us. Health insurance carriers often do not communicate policy cancellation information or group size changes to us. We often are made aware of policy cancellations and group size changes at the time of annual renewal and update our membership statistics accordingly in the period they are reported.

      EHEALTH, INC.
      SUMMARY OF SELECTED METRICS
      ESTIMATED MEMBERSHIP (Continued)
      (Unaudited)

      Estimated Membership

      Estimated membership represents the estimated number of members active as of the date indicated based on the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation.

      Health insurance carriers bill and collect insurance premiums paid by our members. The carriers do not report to us the number of members that we have as of a given date. The majority of our members who terminate their policies do so by discontinuing their premium payments to the carrier and do not inform us of the cancellation. Also, some of our members pay their premiums less frequently than monthly. Given the number of months required to observe non-payment of commissions in order to confirm cancellations, we estimate the number of members who are active on insurance policies as of a specified date.

      After we have estimated membership for a period, we may receive information from health insurance carriers that would have impacted the estimate if we had received the information prior to the date of estimation. We may receive commission payments or other information that indicates that a member who was not included in our estimates for a prior period was in fact an active member at that time, or that a member who was included in our estimates was in fact not an active member of ours. For instance, we reconcile information carriers provide to us and may determine that we were not historically paid commissions owed to us, which would cause us to have underestimated membership. Conversely, carriers may require us to return commission payments paid in a prior period due to policy cancellations for members we previously estimated as being active. We do not update our estimated membership numbers reported in previous periods. Instead, we reflect updated information regarding our historical membership in the membership estimate for the current period. As a result of the delay in our receipt of information from insurance carriers, actual trends in our membership are most discernible over periods longer than from one quarter to the next. As a result of the delay we experience in receiving information about our membership, it is difficult for us to determine with any certainty the impact of current conditions on our membership retention. Healthcare reform and its impacts as well as other factors could cause the assumptions and estimates that we make in connection with estimating our membership to be inaccurate, which would cause our membership estimates to be inaccurate.

      Constrained Lifetime Value of Commissions Per Approved Member



      (1)

      Constrained lifetime value ("LTV") of commissions per approved member represents commissions estimated to be collected over the estimated life of an approved member's policy after applying constraints in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. The estimate is driven by multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix, estimated average plan duration, the regulatory environment, and cancellations of insurance plans offered by health insurance carriers with which we have a relationship. These factors may result in varying values from period to period.

      (2)

      For small business, the amount represents the estimated commissions we expect to collect from the plan over the following twelve months. The estimate is driven by multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix, estimated average plan duration, the regulatory environment, and cancellations of insurance plans offered by health insurance carriers with which we have a relationship and applied constraints. These factors may result in varying values from period to period.

      Constraints on Lifetime Value of Commissions Per Approved Member


      Constraints are applied to derive LTV of commissions per approved member for revenue recognition in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. The constraints are applied to help ensure that commissions estimated to be collected over the estimated life of an approved member's plan are recognized as revenue only to the extent that is it probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with future commissions receivable from the plan is subsequently resolved. We evaluate constraints on a quarterly basis for factors affecting our estimate of LTV of commissions per approved member and apply management judgment to determine the constraints based on current trends impacting our business.
