First Quarter 2022 Highlights
First quarter financial results reflected the impact of our enrollment quality initiatives on telephonic conversion rates and intentional deceleration of our telephonic enrollment in 2022 as we focus on returning to profitable growth.
Enrollment quality initiatives resulted in substantial improvement in retention rates and quality scores for the fourth quarter 2021 Medicare Advantage enrollments, based on preliminary data.
Online business continues to scale with 50% year-over-year increase in online unassisted Medicare Advantage enrollments.
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $105.3 million, a 22% decrease compared to $134.2 million for the first quarter of 2021.
Cash flow from operations of $47.1 million.
As of March 31, 2022, we had $232 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Estimated Medicare Advantage membership and total Medicare membership as of March 31, 2022 grew 9% and 4%, respectively, compared to March 31, 2021.

CEO Comments
We delivered first quarter results with revenue in-line and adjusted EBITDA ahead of our expectations driven by the early impact of cost transformation initiatives. As part of our commitment to returning the company to profitable growth, we are currently on track to generate approximately $60 million in annualized cost savings this year. In line with our strategic plan, we are slowing down our conventional telephonic enrollment growth while continuing to invest for expansion and market share capture in our online business.
 
Providing excellent service and leveraging our platform to match customers with optimal coverage based on their specific needs is at the center of our strategy. The initial traction we are seeing through the early part of fiscal 2022 in terms of retention and quality scores combined with positive carrier feedback reinforces our belief that eHealth can establish itself as a leader in Medicare distribution as this market moves away from volume at-all-costs and toward growth built on a foundation of enrollment quality, enhanced consumer experience and cash flow generation.

Total commission revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased 26% compared to the same period in 2021 due to a $27.8 million decrease in Medicare segment commission revenue and a $3.0 million decrease in commission revenue from the Individual, Family and Small Business segment.

The decrease in commission revenue from the Medicare segment was driven by a 22% decrease in Medicare plan approved members. This was caused primarily by a 23% decline in Medicare Advantage plan approved members compared to 2021 and due to lower telephonic conversion rates.

The decrease in commission revenue from the Individual, Family and Small Business segment was primarily due to a 32% decrease in short-term ancillary plan approved members, a 31% decrease in dental plan approved members, a 13% decrease in individual and family major medical plan approved members and a $2.8 million decrease in net adjustment revenue.

Other revenue increased $4.2 million, or 59%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to an increase in Medicare advertising revenue.

(1)See Non-GAAP Financial Information for definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2022 was $24.9 million, or $0.91 non-GAAP net loss per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $9.4 million, or $0.36 non-GAAP net income per diluted share, for the same period in 2021, primarily attributable to a decrease in total revenue and a 12% increase in non-GAAP operating expense primarily as a result of our enrollment quality initiatives.

Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per diluted share for the first quarter of 2022 were calculated by excluding $4.7 million of paid-in-kind dividends, $2.5 million change in preferred stock redemption value, $5.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $4.8 million of restructuring and reorganization charges, and $2.3 million of the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments from GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021 were calculated by excluding $11.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.4 million restructuring charges, $0.2 million of amortization of intangible assets and $3.8 million of the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments from GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 decreased compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to a decrease in total revenue, an increase in non-GAAP operating expense, including an increase in customer care and enrollment costs primarily as a result of employing more internal agents in 2022. Non-GAAP operating expense was also impacted by an increase in variable marketing expense.

_____________

(1)Online submission % represents a combination of unassisted and partially agent-assisted online applications.
(2)Major Medicare plans include Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans.
(3)As of March 31, 2022.

Medicare approved members decreased 22% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due to a decrease in Medicare plan members. The decrease in Medicare plan members was driven by lower submitted applications primarily due to lower telephonic conversion rates and our decision to reduce our investment in telephonic enrollment growth in 2022. Approved members for individual and family plan major medical products decreased 13% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due to a decrease in enrollments in both qualified and non-qualified individual and family plans.

Medicare new paying members decreased 16% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due primarily to a decline in Medicare products approved members. Individual and family plan new paying members decreased 8% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due primarily to a decline in approved members for non-qualified and qualified plans.

Estimated membership was 1,287,640 at the end of the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 2% compared to estimated membership at the end of the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven by a 4% increase in Medicare estimated membership including an 9% increase in Medicare Advantage estimated membership.

As our online business continued to scale, the number of first quarter 2022 Major Medicare applications submitted online unassisted grew 47% compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily driven by enhanced user experience and favorable conversion rates on our ecommerce platform. Our unassisted online application submissions represented 12% of Major Medicare applications in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 6% in the same quarter in 2021.

Convertible Preferred Stock

On April 30, 2021, we issued and sold 2.25 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an aggregate purchase price of $225.0 million to an investment vehicle of H.I.G. Capital in a private placement. This transaction resulted in net proceeds of $214.0 million.

During the first quarter of 2022, we accrued paid-in-kind dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at 8% per annum equal to $4.7 million and recognized $2.5 million of accretion due to the redemption feature available to H.I.G. Capital at the sixth anniversary of the closing of this transaction. These charges were recorded as a reduction of our retained earnings and had no impact on GAAP net loss, which was $32.7 million, for the first quarter of 2022. However, as the Series A Preferred Stock is considered a participating security, both of these charges impacted net loss attributable to common stockholders and net loss attributable to common stockholders per share. For the first quarter of 2022, GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $40.0 million, or $1.46 per 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 non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income (loss); non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share; and adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders excluding the following items:
paid-in-kind dividends for preferred stock and change in preferred stock redemption value (together "impact from preferred stock"),
the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units,
restructuring and reorganization charges,
amortization of intangible assets,
other non-recurring charges (as noted below), and
the income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share consists of GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholder per diluted share excluding the following items:
impact from preferred stock,
the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units per diluted share,
restructuring and reorganization charges per diluted share,
amortization of intangible assets per diluted share,
other non-recurring charges (as noted below) per diluted share, and
the income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments per diluted share.

7


Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding the impact from preferred stock, interest income and expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and reorganization charges, amortization of intangible assets, other income (expense), net, and other non-recurring charges to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders. Other non-recurring charges to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders may include transaction expenses in connection with capital raising transactions (whether debt, equity or equity-linked) and acquisitions, whether or not consummated, purchase price adjustments and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles.

8


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 provide 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 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 depreciation and amortization 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 net income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders 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, fees for the performance of administrative services and to a lesser extent, amounts from our sale of ancillary products sold to our Medicare-eligible customers, including but not limited to, dental and vision plans, as well as amounts we are paid in connection with our advertising program for marketing and other services.
(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 plans leads generated by our ecommerce platforms and our marketing activities.
(3)Segment profit (loss) 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 expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and reorganization 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 expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and reorganization charges, 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 expense, depreciation and amortization, 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.

We define our Individual and Family plan offerings as major medical individual and family health insurance plans, which does not include Medicare-related, small business or ancillary plans. Individual and family health insurance plans include both qualified and non-qualified plans. Qualified health plans are individual and family health insurance plans that meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act and are offered through the government-run health insurance exchange in the relevant jurisdiction. Non-qualified health plans are Individual and Family plans that meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act and are not offered through the exchange in the relevant jurisdiction. Individuals that purchase non-qualified health plans cannot receive a subsidy in connection with the purchase of those plans.

(1)
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 through confirmations from a health insurance carrier that a commission payment is delayed or is inaccurate as of the date of estimation, we adjust the estimated membership to also reflect the number of members for whom we expect to receive or to refund a commission payment. Further, to the extent 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 plans, we take the sum of (i) the number of Individual and Family plan 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.

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 estimation methodology above.
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. If we experience a significant variance in historical membership as compared to our initial estimates, we keep the prior period data consistent with previously reported amounts, while we may provide the updated information in other communications. 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. Various circumstances 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 plan 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.

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 it is 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.

(1)
MA-equivalent approved members is a derived metric with a Medicare Part D approved member being weighted at 25% of a Medicare Advantage member and a Medicare Supplement member based on their relative LTVs at the time of our adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). We calculate the number of approved MA-equivalent members by adding the total number of approved Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement members and 25% of the total number of approved Medicare Part D members during the period presented.
(2)
IFP-equivalent approved members is a derived metric with a short-term approved member being weighted at 33% of a major medical individual and family health insurance plan member based on their relative LTVs at the time of our adoption of ASC 606. We calculate the number of approved IFP-equivalent members by adding the total number of approved qualified and non-qualified health plan members and 33% of the total number of short-term approved members during the period presented.

Expense Metrics Per Approved Member
Marketing initiatives are an important component of our strategy to increase revenue and are primarily designed to encourage consumers to complete an application for health insurance. Variable marketing cost represents direct costs incurred in member acquisition from our direct, marketing partners and online advertising channels. In addition, we incur customer care and enrollment expenses in assisting applicants, including during the enrollment process.

The numerator used to calculate each metric is the portion of the respective operating expenses for marketing and advertising and customer care and enrollment that is directly related to member acquisition for our sale of Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans (collectively, the “Medicare Plans”) and for all IFP plans including individual and family plans and short-term health insurance (collectively, the “IFP Plans”), respectively. The denominator used to calculate each metric is based on a derived metric that represents the relative value of the new members acquired. For Medicare Plans, we call this derived metric Medicare Advantage (“MA”)-equivalent members, and for IFP Plans, we call this derived metric IFP-equivalent members. The calculations for MA-equivalent members and for IFP-equivalent members are based on the weighted number of approved members for Medicare Plans and IFP Plans during the period, with the number of approved members adjusted based on the relative LTV of the product they are purchasing. Since the LTV for any product fluctuates from period to period, the weight given to each product was determined based on their relative LTVs at the time of our adoption of ASC 606. Variable marketing costs exclude fixed overhead costs, such as personnel related costs, consulting expenses, facilities and other operating costs allocated to the marketing and advertising department.
