Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). To supplement eHealth's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, eHealth presents investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share.

    -- Non-GAAP revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006, consists of GAAP revenue excluding the recognition of previously deferred revenue related a single health insurance carrier that, effective January 2005, changed its basis for calculating and reporting commission amounts from a percentage of the premium it collected to a percentage of the premium it billed. Since this was the first carrier to calculate and report commission amounts on this basis, eHealth initially did not have sufficient historical forfeiture experience to estimate and record an appropriate allowance for forfeitures as commission amounts were reported by the carrier. Accordingly, all commission amounts reported by the carrier in 2005 and the first six months of 2006 were deferred until the third quarter of 2006.

    -- Non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income excluding the recognition of the previously deferred revenue described above in the third quarter of 2006 and the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units in accordance with SFAS 123R beginning in 2006 and amortization of deferred stock-based compensation expense in accordance with APB 25 for grants made prior to 2006.

    -- Non-GAAP operating margins are calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income by non-GAAP total revenue.

    -- Non-GAAP pre-tax income consists of GAAP pre-tax income excluding the recognition of the previously deferred revenue described above in the third quarter of 2006 and the effects of expensing stock-based compensation including the related income tax impact.

    -- Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding the recognition of the previously deferred revenue described above in the third quarter of 2006 and the effects of expensing stock-based compensation including the related income tax impact.

    -- Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

eHealth believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with the company's past financial reports. Management also believes that the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of the company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of the company'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 the company's ongoing operations. Externally, the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures continue to be useful to investors in their assessment of the company's operating performance and valuation.

Non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share 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 have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the revenue and costs associated with the operations of the company's business 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. The company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. The company compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP operating income, GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share and providing investors with reconciliations from the company'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 and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

Explanation of adjustments

(1) Included in deferred revenue at June 30, 2006 were commission
     amounts reported and paid by a single health insurance carrier
     that, effective January 2005, changed its basis for calculating
     and reporting commission amounts from a percentage of the premium
     it collected to a percentage of the premium it billed. Since this
     was the first carrier to calculate and report commission amounts
     on this basis, eHealth initially did not have sufficient
     historical forfeiture experience to estimate and record an
     appropriate allowance for forfeitures as commission amounts were
     reported by the carrier. Accordingly, all commission amounts
     reported by the carrier in 2005 and the first six months of 2006,
     which totaled $720,000, were deferred.

    During the three months ended September 30, 2006, eHealth
     determined that it had sufficient experience to estimate an
     allowance for forfeitures for this health insurance carrier.
     Accordingly, during the three months ended September 30, 2006,
     eHealth recognized $720,000 of commission revenue, which had been
     previously deferred.
(2) Non-GAAP results exclude the effect of expensing stock-based
     compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and
     restricted stock units in accordance with SFAS 123R beginning in
     2006, in addition to the amortization of deferred stock-based
     compensation expense in accordance with APB 25 for grants made
     prior to 2006.
(3) Non-GAAP results exclude the income tax impact of the commission
     revenue in item (1) above and the stock-based compensation
     expense listed in item (2) above.
