Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2013 Financial and Operating Results
-Record Quarterly Revenue; Up 33.9% from 4Q2012-
- Company to Host Conference Call and Webcast at 10:00 a.m. EDT, Tuesday, March 18 -
TAMPA, Fla., March 17, 2014 Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:HIIQ) (HII or Company), a leading developer, virtual administrator and private exchange for affordable, cloud-based individual health insurance plans and ancillary products, today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The Company will host a conference call and webcast at 10:00 a.m. EDT, Tuesday, Mar. 18.
In the fourth quarter, the Company experienced accelerating demand associated with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) open enrollment period, stated Mr. Kosloske, CEO of Health Insurance Innovations. Our pre-IPO vision was to leverage product strategy and technology to exceed the changing needs of Americans dealing with the ACA. This emerging opportunity has us poised for record success in 2014 and beyond.
Navigating through the newly implemented ACA legislation in 2013 proved challenging for the entire industry. Despite these complexities, HII achieved record growth and margins throughout 2013 and successfully positioned the Company to take advantage of the tremendous market opportunities in 2014 and beyond. Our strong quarterly and annual performance reflects a growing licensed-agent distribution network and consumer acceptance of the innovative, affordable health insurance plans and virtual services our Company offers, said Mike Kosloske.
Company financial highlights include the following:
Fourth Quarter 2013
* Record quarterly revenues of $15.8 million, representing 33.9% growth from $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012
* Record quarterly Premium Equivalents of $27.7 million, representing 30.0% growth from the fourth quarter of 2012 (see the reconciliation of Premium Equivalents to revenues and non-GAAP gross margin within this release)
* Non-GAAP gross margin of $7.7 million, representing 102.6% growth from $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the fourth quarter of 2013, the ratio of non-GAAP gross margin to Premium Equivalents was 27.8% compared to 17.8% for the fourth quarter of 2012, a 1,000 basis point increase
* Adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 million, compared to $1.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2012 (see the reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA within this release)
* Net loss of $0.6 million for the quarter, compared to net income of $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012
Full Year 2013
* Record annual revenues of $56.6 million, representing a 35.1% increase from 2012
* Record Premium Equivalents of $100.0 million, representing a 31.8% increase from 2012 in the upper end of our 2013 guidance
* Non-GAAP gross margin of $23.2 million, representing 77.1% growth from $13.1 million in 2012. For the full year, the ratio of non-GAAP gross margin to Premium Equivalents was 23.2% in 2013, compared to 17.3% for 2012, a 590 basis point increase
* Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million, compared to $4.5 million in 2012
* Net loss of $0.6 million for the quarter, compared to net income of $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012
* Record policies in force as of December 31, 2013, totaled 73,686, a 26.8% increase from 58,118 at December 31, 2012
Operational Highlights
During the last several months, the Company launched the industrys first Insurance Cost Estimator to its distribution network. This web-based tool allows licensed agents to help customers compare the relative costs, benefits and other provisions of HII short-term medical policies to ACA individual major medical plans. The Company also initiated development of a tailored private exchange designed to address the new opportunity created by regulations under the ACA for employers to transition from employer-sponsored group plans to individual health plans. This new opportunity is significant and is expected to positively affect our growth rate trends as 2014 matures, said Mike Kosloske.
Policies in force have expanded by 26.8% in the fourth quarter of 2013 to 73,686 compared to 58,118 as of December 31, 2012. The growth in policy count was driven by accelerating demand for affordable health insurance in the fourth quarter and the growth of the Companys distribution network. During this last quarter of the year, HII added ten call centers and over 900 licensed insurance brokers to its distribution network. As of December 31, 2013, HIIs distribution included 93 call centers and over 10,700 licensed broker distributors.
Fourth Quarter and Annual 2013 Financial Highlights
Fourth quarter revenues of $15.8 million and Premium Equivalents of $27.7 million increased by 33.9% and 30.0%, respectively, over the same metrics for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year, 2013 revenues increased 35.1% to $56.6 million compared to 2012. Premium Equivalents increased 31.8% to $100.0 million for 2013, compared to $75.9 million in 2012. A reconciliation of Premium Equivalents to revenues for the three months and annual periods ended December 30, 2013, and 2012, is included in the financial supplement included in this press release. By policy type, the fourth quarter mix of revenues was as follows: 59.2% short-term medical, 19.3% hospital indemnity, and 21.5% ancillary products for the three month period; and 58.9% short-term medical, 21.6% hospital indemnity, and 19.5% ancillary products for all of 2013.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss of $1.0 million in comparison to pre-tax income of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The primary driver for this difference was $2.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. For the full year, the Company reported a pre-tax loss of $8.4 million in comparison to pre-tax income of $3.3
million in 2012. The primary drivers of the 2013 loss were the $5.5 million expense related to the previously disclosed TSG Agency transaction and $6.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as well as other increased S,G&A expenses.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was ($7.1) million for 2013 compared to $4.5 million in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated starting with EBITDA, which is then further adjusted for items that are not part of regular operating activities, including acquisition costs, contract termination costs, and other non-cash items such as stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.0 million for 2013, compared to $4.5 million in 2012. A reconciliation of net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for 2013 and 2012 is included within this press release.
Non-GAAP gross margin, which is calculated starting with revenues and then adjusted for third party commissions, and credit card and ACH fees, increased to $7.7 million or 27.8% of Premium Equivalents for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $3.8 million of non-GAAP Gross Margin and 17.8% of Premium Equivalents in the same period in 2012. For the full year, non-GAAP gross margin was $23.2 million or 23.2% of Premium Equivalents, compared to $13.1 million or 17.3% of Premium Equivalents in 2012. This 590 basis point increase reflects the acquisition of the Companys largest distributor in July 2013 and an increase in the proportion of higher-margin ancillary policies in force. A reconciliation of Premium Equivalents to revenues and non-GAAP Gross Margin for the three months and years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is included within this press release.
Cash used in operations during 2013 was $1.2 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $5.3 million in 2012. The net cash outflow in 2013 was primarily due to the $5.5 million paid in the TSG Agency transaction and the expansion of our advanced commission program as well as increased S,G&A expenses.
For the fourth quarter of 2013, cash flow from operations totaled $2.2 million. This amount was reduced by $1.1 million of cash paid in the quarter as advanced commissions to HII distributors as part of the Companys strategy to help its distributors increase new policy production. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $17.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, $15.0 million of investment proceeds receivable that settled on January 2, 2014, $6.9 million in short-term investments (total near-cash assets of $39 million) and no long-term debt.
Commenting on HIIs financial position, Mr. Kosloske added, Our strong balance sheet and cash position will allow us to continue to invest in internal programs that we believe will broaden our capabilities, product offerings, and the market awareness of our products that meet the affordable health insurance needs of our customers. Additionally, select investments may be made in acquisitions that both enhance our competitive position and more efficiently deploy our capital.
Initial 2014 Outlook
In 2014, the Company expects strong sales trends to continue. Drivers include elevated market demand created by the ACA for our particular niche of products and continued expansion of our licensed insurance agent network. Many of our distributors have identified our short-term medical plans as one of very few affordable alternatives that will be available to meet expected growing demand in the individual health insurance market, said Mr. Kosloske, particularly outside of the ACA open enrollment period, which in 2014 spans from April 1st through November 15th.
HII is continuing to invest in key industry talent, innovative technology, product development and marketing capabilities to remain agile to serve changing consumer needs following the implementation of the ACA. We expect to make investments that are partially funded by our growing operating cash flows in personnel and other costs that will increase market awareness of HIIs brand and products, increase the efficiency and profitability of our sales, and allow us to enter new market segments that are developing due in part to the implementation of the ACA.
We intend to build on 2013 momentum and expect that the growth rate in premium equivalents in 2014 will exceed the record growth rates the Company achieved in 2013.
As we look to the future we see tremendous opportunity led by the following 4 business model strengths:
1. | Price of Insurance Policies: As we predicted prior to going public, individual and family premiums for private insurance have significantly increased, in some states doubling in 2014 over 2013 rates. |
| This makes premiums for our products among the most affordable coverage available to qualified individuals and families and allows them to choose their own doctor or hospital without a penalty. |
2. | Products available for year-round sales: Obama Administration officials announced last week that the March 31, 2014, open enrollment deadline - for consumers who want to get coverage on the health insurance exchanges - will not be extended. On and off-exchange enrollment in all individual major medical plans will be limited to the few with a qualifying life event. |
| That means that starting April 1st, the over 300,000 licensed insurance brokers across the country will see significant limitation in products that are both affordable to consumers - and profitable for them to sell until November 15th. Short-term medical will remain one of the few exceptions. |
3. | Product Line Innovation: The ACA has introduced substantial changes to the health insurance industry for consumers, carriers and distributors. Our unique position as a product developer, working with multiple Insurance Carriers, will allow us to remain agile - to rapidly evolve and rapidly advance our pipeline with innovative, profitable products - relevant to the changes in the marketplace. |
4. | Digital Focus: The increased dependence on digital technologies to deliver every aspect of our lives including health insurance purchases as weve seen this open enrollment period. HIIs competitive advantages are driven by its consumer-friendly, reliable technologies. |
| We have sold approximately 370,000 policies in the past five years on our unique, virtually administrated Quote-Buy-Print platform. We plan to continue our commitment to scalable customer-focused technology as the foundation of our business, and to build processes that deliver satisfying customer experiences, customer loyalty and maximized revenue. |
Mr. Kosloske also noted, Entering 2014, Health Insurance Innovations boasts a fully integrated business model, a cloud-based delivery platform and private exchange, combined with leading product and functional expertise, all focused on creating wins for our distributors, customers and shareholders.

(1) | EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations, each as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. We have presented EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. |
(2) | To calculate Adjusted EBITDA, we calculate EBITDA, which is then further adjusted for items that are not part of regular operating activities, including acquisition costs, contract termination costs, and other non-cash items such as stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations, each as determined in accordance U.S. GAAP. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. |
