HealthPocket, Inc. Update

Headquartered in Mountain View, CA, HealthPocket was acquired by HII in July 2014. HealthPocket provides consumers with access to its leading health insurance information, search and comparison technology through its website, www.healthpocket.com. This free website allows consumers to easily compare and rank all health insurance plans available.

HealthPocket’s key metrics for the fourth quarter were as follows:

 

  Record Health Plan Queries of 930,000, representing 74% growth in the number of queries over the third quarter of 2014. A Health Plan Query is registered for each consumer that receives a health insurance quote on www.healthpocket.com.

 

  Record Client Referrals of 256,000, representing 144% growth over the number of referrals in the third quarter of 2014. Client Referrals are targeted phone and online referrals sold by HealthPocket to fulfillment partners or handled in-house by one of HII’s owned call centers.

 

  Referral Mix of 73%. Referral Mix is the percentage of Client Referrals that are Obamacare, short term medical and ancillary product category referrals, with the remainder being Medicare referrals.

“We were very pleased with the strong sequential growth in our two key growth metrics, health plan queries and client referrals. Client referrals more than doubled from the third to the fourth quarter and we achieved our goal to fulfill more than 50% of our targeted referrals through HII and its strategic distribution partners,” said Bruce Telkamp, CEO of HealthPocket, Inc.


Fourth Quarter and Annual 2014 Financial Discussion

Comparability between the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is affected by acquisitions during those years. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we operated as two operating segments: 1) Insurance Plan Development and Distribution (“IPD”) and 2) HealthPocket (“HP”). For the year ended December 31, 2013, we operated as a single operating segment: IPD. The IPD segment comprises our business activities in designing, implementing and administering STM and other products and the distribution of those products to consumers via our distribution network or online purchases. The HP segment comprises the business activities of HealthPocket, including the development of HealthPocket.com and the generation of referral-based and other revenues. The financial discussion below is made at a consolidated level. Refer to the table that shows the financial results of our operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2014 in this press release.

Fourth quarter revenues of $26.5 million and premium equivalents of $45.7 million increased by 67.7% and 65.0%, respectively, over the same metrics for the fourth quarter of 2013. For the full year, 2014 revenues increased 56.9% to $88.8 million compared to 2013. Premium equivalents increased 56.0% to $156.0 million for 2014, compared to $100.0 million in 2013. The increases were primarily due to the increase in the number of policies in force as a result of our continuing expansion of our distribution network. A reconciliation of premium equivalents to revenues for the three months and annual periods ended December 30, 2014, and 2013, is in the financial supplement included in this press release. By policy type, the 2014 fourth quarter mix of revenues was as follows: 55% short-term medical, 15% hospital indemnity, and 30% ancillary products for the fourth quarter; and 59% short-term medical, 19% hospital indemnity, and 22% ancillary products for all of 2014.

Adjusted gross margin, which is calculated starting with revenues and then adjusted for third party commissions, and credit card and ACH fees, increased to $11.9 million or 26.0% of premium equivalents for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $7.7 million of adjusted gross margin and 27.8% of premium equivalents in the same period in 2013. For the full year, adjusted gross margin was $41.7 million or 26.8% of premium equivalents, compared to $23.2 million or 23.2% of premium equivalents in 2013. A reconciliation of premium equivalents to revenues and adjusted gross margin for the three months and years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is included within this press release.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $10.0 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $7.9 million in 2013. For the year, SG&A expenses were $37.5 million, an increase of $13.5 million from 2013. For both the quarter and the year, the increase in G&A expense was primarily driven by transaction expenses, the impact of acquisitions and investments in growth initiatives to drive sustainable growth in 2015 and beyond.


During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company had pre-tax income of $0.8 million in comparison to pre-tax loss of $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the full year, the Company reported pre-tax income of $0.5 million in comparison to a pre-tax loss of $8.4 million in 2013. The primary drivers of 2014 income were increase in revenues and relative decrease in incremental costs.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $2.9 million for 2014 compared to $(7.1) million in 2013. 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 $8.1 million for 2014, compared to $5.9 million in 2013. A reconciliation of net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for 2014 and 2013 is included within this press release.

For the year ended 2014, cash generated in operations was $2.0 million compared to cash used from operations of $1.2 million in 2013. Cash and short term investments totaled $13.9 million at the end of Q4 and the Company has no debt. In December 2014, HII entered into a three year revolving line of credit for $15 million with SunTrust Bank, N.A. The establishment of this credit facility is consistent with the Company’s strategy of ensuring that the company has more than ample liquidity to fund operations.

2015 Outlook

HII will be providing specific guidance for 2015 full year results as part of its first quarter earnings call in early May, consistent with the timing of full year guidance provided last year and also due in part to rapidly changing market conditions and health care policy decisions.

The toll free dial-in number is (877) 312-8797; the toll number is (678) 825-8236; the conference ID is 74267247.

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 interest 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 non-cash stock based compensation, fair value adjustment to contingent consideration, transaction costs, tax receivable agreement liability adjustment, contract termination expense and other non-recurring charges. 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 with 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.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as set forth above under Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
(2) Adjusted net income is computed by subtracting depreciation (but not amortization of intangible assets) from adjusted EBITDA to determine adjusted pre-tax income, from which an assumed tax expense calculated at the 38% federal statutory rate is deducted.
(3) Adjusted net income per share is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the total number of diluted Class A and Class B shares for each period. We have included adjusted net income per share in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluations of companies. Other companies may calculate this measure differently than we do. Adjusted net income per share has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or substitution for earnings per shares as reported under U.S. GAAP.
