Draper, Utah – June 8, 2015 – HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ: HQY), one of the largest health savings account ("HSA") non-bank custodians, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended April 30, 2015.
“In the first quarter, we saw continued success in the key metrics that drive our business with revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, HSA membership and AUM all growing greater than 45%. Over the past year, we added over 466,000 new HSA members and grew AUM by $844 million to $2.5 billion. As important as this year over year growth, these new members represent the building blocks for our long term growth. During the quarter, as our business matured, we experienced margin expansion, demonstrating the inherent leverage in our model. Our solid first quarter results, coupled with continued strength across our organization, gives us the confidence to raise our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal 2016," remarked Jon Kessler, President and CEO of HealthEquity.

Business outlook
For the year ended January 31, 2016, we expect our revenue to be between $119.0 million and $123.0 million and our Adjusted EBITDA to be between $36.0 million and $38.0 million. We expect our non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be between $0.28 and $0.30 per share. Our non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is based on an estimated 60 million weighted-average shares outstanding, giving effect to our recently completed stock offering, and is calculated by adding back to net income all non-cash stock compensation expense, net of tax. We expect total stock compensation expense, net of tax, for the year ended January 31, 2016 to be between $3.5 million and $4.0 million.

Non-GAAP financial information
To supplement our financial information presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, and non-GAAP operating margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and other certain non-operating items. We define non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as net income per diluted share, calculated by adding back to net income non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net of tax. Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated by excluding from gross profit stock-based compensation expense attributable to cost of services. Non-GAAP gross margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP gross profit by revenues. Non-GAAP income from operations is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense from operating income. Non-GAAP operating margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income by revenues.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The company cautions investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare current results with results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies. Whenever we use these non-GAAP financial measures, we provide a reconciliation of the applicable non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed in the tables below.
