MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—October 26, 2010—eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: EHTH), the leading online source of health insurance for individuals, families and small businesses, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Gary Lauer, chief executive officer of eHealth stated, “We are pleased with our third quarter performance. Submitted individual and family application volume growth exceeded 9% year-over-year reflecting growth across all member acquisition channels. We also continued to make progress in our emerging businesses—Medicare and government systems—including an important launch of the enhanced Health Insurance Web Portal for the Department of Health and Human Services. We believe that the changing landscape of the health insurance industry makes our technology and platform more relevant and needed than ever.”

Third Quarter Results

Revenue—Revenue totaled $37.5 million for the third quarter of 2010, a 7% increase compared to revenue of $35.1 million for the third quarter of 2009.

Submitted Applications—Submitted applications for individual and family products increased 9% in the third quarter of 2010 to 143,200 applications, compared to 131,200 applications in the third quarter of 2009.

Membership—Estimated membership at September 30, 2010 totaled 778,800 members, a 7% increase over estimated membership of 726,600 at September 30, 2009.

Operating Income—Operating income decreased 25% to $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to operating income of $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. Operating margins were 13% and 18% in the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Non-GAAP operating income decreased 12% to $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP operating margins were 18% and 22% in the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Non-GAAP operating income and margins in the third quarter of 2010 excludes $1.6 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.4 million of intangible asset amortization expense associated with the acquisition of PlanPrescriber, Inc. Non-GAAP operating income and margins in the third quarter of 2009 excludes $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense.

Stuart Huizinga, chief financial officer of eHealth stated, “In the third quarter we generated the largest individual and family health insurance submitted application volume in the history of eHealth. At the same time, third quarter operating margin declined both sequentially and on a year-over-year basis, which was significantly impacted by our record submitted application volume. The vast majority of marketing and advertising spend to generate individual and family plan applications is expensed when it is incurred, while the revenue stream resulting from that spend comes in over future periods, resulting in lower margins in high application volume quarters. Third quarter operating margin also reflected continued investment in our Medicare business.”


 

Pre-tax Income—Pre-tax income for the third quarter of 2010 was $4.8 million, a 27% decrease compared to pre-tax income of $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2009.

Net Income—Net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $2.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $3.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $3.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2009 of $4.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share in the third quarter of 2010 exclude $1.6 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.4 million of intangible asset amortization expense associated with the acquisition of PlanPrescriber, Inc., less $0.8 million for related income tax benefit. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share in the third quarter of 2009 exclude $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, less $0.4 million for related income tax benefit.

Cash Flow and Cash Balance—Cash flow from operations for the third quarter of 2010 was $5.6 million, compared to $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2009, representing a decrease of 27%. During the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, we utilized $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of previously unrecognized excess tax benefits related to share-based payments to reduce our federal and state income taxes payable. These excess tax benefits are shown in the cash flow statement as an increase in cash flow from financing activities and a decrease in cash flow from operating activities.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities as of September 30, 2010 totaled $139.1 million, compared to $153.5 million as of December 31, 2009. The change in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflects $27.2 million of net cash used for the acquisition of PlanPrescriber, Inc. in April 2010 and $8.7 million used to repurchase 751,238 shares of the Company’s common stock during September 2010.

Year-to-Date Results

Revenue—Revenue totaled $109.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a 9% increase compared to revenue of $100.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Operating Income—Operating income decreased 13% to $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to operating income of $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, eHealth presents investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including 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 operating income for the third quarter of 2010 consists of GAAP operating income excluding purchased intangible asset amortization expense and the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 beginning in 2006. Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2009 consists of GAAP operating income excluding the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 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 GAAP total revenue.

 

   

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 consists of GAAP net income excluding purchased intangible asset amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense recorded during the quarter (less related income tax benefit). Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2009 consists of GAAP net income excluding stock-based compensation expense recorded during the quarter (less related income tax benefit).

 

   

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 are useful to investors in their assessment of the Company’s operating performance.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, 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 used in this press release have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the Company’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. The Company expects to continue to incur the stock-based compensation costs and purchased intangible asset amortization costs described above, and exclusion of these costs, and their related income tax impact, 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 described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

Notes:

(1) Net cash provided by operating activities for the period from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(2) IFP applications submitted on eHealth’s website during the period. Applications are counted as submitted when the applicant completes the application, provides a method for payment and clicks the submit button on our website and submits the application to us. The applicant generally has additional actions to take before the application will be reviewed by the insurance carrier, such as providing additional information and providing an electronic signature. In addition, an applicant may submit more than one application. We include applications for IFP products for which we receive commissions as well as other forms of payment. We define our “IFP” offerings as major medical individual and family health insurance plans, which does not include small business, short-term major medical, stand-alone dental, life or student health insurance product offerings.
(3) New IFP members reported to eHealth as approved during the period. Some members that are approved by a carrier do not accept the approval and therefore do not become paying members. Does not include members transferred from Health Benefits Direct Corporation during 2009.
(4) New members for all products reported to eHealth as approved during the period. Some members that are approved by a carrier do not accept the approval and therefore do not become paying members. Does not include members transferred from Health Benefits Direct Corporation during 2009.
(5) Total revenue (from all sources) recognized during the period from the condensed consolidated statements of income.


(6) Calculated as total revenue recognized during the period (see note (5) above) divided by average estimated membership for the period (calculated as beginning and ending estimated membership for all products for the period, divided by two). Ending membership as of September 30, 2009 and 2010 include an estimated 25,000 and 15,000 members, respectively, transferred from Health Benefits Direct Corporation as of each date, net of estimated cancelations since their transfer. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 - Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Summary of Selected Metrics for additional information regarding our calculation of estimated membership.
(7) Estimated number of members active on IFP insurance policies as of the date indicated. Amounts as of September 30, 2009 and 2010 include an estimated 25,000 and 15,000 members, respectively, transferred from Health Benefits Direct Corporation as of each date, net of estimated cancelations since their transfer. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 - Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Summary of Selected Metrics for additional information regarding our calculation of estimated membership.

(9) Marketing and advertising expenses for the period from the condensed consolidated statements of income.
(10) Calculated as marketing and advertising expenses for the period (see note (9) above) divided by total revenue for the period (see note (5) above).
(11) Non-GAAP marketing and advertising expenses excluding stock-based compensation for the period. See Non-GAAP Financial Information above and the reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP marketing and advertising expenses below.

(13) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants who came directly to the eHealth website through algorithmic search engine results or otherwise. See note (2) above for further information as to what constitutes a submitted application.
(14) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants sourced through eHealth’s network of marketing partners. See note (2) above for further information as to what constitutes a submitted application.
(15) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants sourced through paid search and other online advertising activities. See note (2) above for further information as to what constitutes a submitted application.
(16) Calculated as marketing and advertising expenses for the period (see note (9) above) divided by the number of individuals on IFP applications submitted on eHealth’s website during the period. This metric may not reflect the true acquisition cost.
