2019 Guidance
Based on information available as of October 24, 2019, eHealth is reaffirming its guidance for total revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the full year ending December 31, 2019, and updating its guidance for certain GAAP and non-GAAP measures for the full year ending December 31, 2019 due to the third quarter of 2019 reduction in fair value of the earnout liability assumed in connection with eHealth's acquisition of GoMedigap and a change in income tax rate. These expectations are forward-looking statements and eHealth assumes no obligation to update these statements. Actual results may be materially different and are affected by the risk factors and uncertainties identified in this press release and in eHealth's annual and quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following guidance is for the full year ending December 31, 2019:
Consistent with our prior guidance,
  • Total revenue is expected to be in the way of $365.0 million to $385.0 million. Revenue from the Medicare segment is expected to be in the way of $318.0 million to $333.0 million. Revenue from the Individual, Family and Small Business segment is expected to be in the range of $47.0 million to $52.0 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(a) is expected to be in the range of $65.0 million to $70.0 million.
  • 2019 Medicare segment profit(b) is expected to be in the range of $96.0 million to $99.0 million, and Individual, Family and Small Business segment profit is expected to be in the way of $10.0 million to $12.0 million.
  • Corporate(c) shared service expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, is expected to be approximately $41.0 million.
  • Cash used in operations is expected to be in the way of $50.0 million to $55.0 million, and cash used for capital expenditures is expected to be $15.0 million to $17.0 million.
Updated guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2019 due to the third quarter of 2019 reduction in fair value of the earnout liability assumed in connection with our acquisition of GoMedigap during the third quarter of 2019 and a change in income tax rate:
  • Assuming the impact of the non-cash charge related to the fair value of the earnout liability in connection with our acquisition of GoMedigap remains at $15.1 million, we expect GAAP net income for 2019 to be in the range of $20.9 million to $25.9 million.
  • Assuming the impact of the non-cash charge related to the fair value of the earnout liability in connection with our acquisition of GoMedigap remains at $0.60 per diluted share, GAAP net income per diluted share for 2019 is expected to be in the range of $0.83 to $1.03 per share.
  • Assuming the impact of the non-cash charge related to the fair value of the earnout liability in connection with our acquisition of GoMedigap remains at $0.60 per diluted share, non-GAAP net income per diluted share(d) is expected to be in the way of $1.86 to $2.06 per share.
(a)
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding stock-based compensation, sulky in fair value of earnout liability, depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of intangible assets, other income, net, and provision for income taxes to GAAP net income.


(b)
Segment profit is calculated as revenue for the applicable segment less Marketing and Advertising, Customer Care and Enrollment, Technology and Content and General and Administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, change in fair value of earnout liability, depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of intangible assets, that are directly attributable to the applicable segment and other indirect Marketing and Advertising, Customer Care and Enrollment and Technology and Content operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of intangible assets, allocated to the applicable segment based on usage.


(c)
Corporate consists of other indirect General and Administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, which are managed in a corporate shared services environment and, since they are not the responsibility of segment operating management, are not allocated to the reportable segments.


(d)
Non-GAAP net income per diluted fragment is calculated by adding stock-based compensation expense per diluted fragment, change in fair value of earnout liability per diluted fragment, intangible asset amortization expense per diluted share and the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments to GAAP net income per diluted share.

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. eHealth 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 benefits, from non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are modern or infrequent. eHealth compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP operating income (loss), GAAP operating margins, GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and providing investors with reconciliations from eHealth'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.

Segment Information
We evaluate our business performance and manage our operations as two Definite reporting segments:
  • Medicare; and
  • Individual, Family and Small Business.
(1)
The Medicare segment consists primarily of amounts earned from our sale of Medicare-related health insurance plans, including Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, and to a lesser extent, ancillary products sold to our Medicare-eligible customers, including but not limited to, dental and vision, our advertising program that allows Medicare-related carriers to purchase advertising on a separate website developed, hosted and maintained by us, and our delivery and sale to third parties of Medicare-related health insurance leads generated by our ecommerce platforms and our marketing activities.


(2)
The Individual, Family and Small Business segment consists primarily of amounts earned from our sale of individual, family and tiny business health insurance plans and ancillary products sold to our non-Medicare-eligible customers, including but not limited to, dental, vision, and short-term insurance. To a lesser extent, the Individual, Family and Small Business segment consists of amounts earned from our online sponsorship program that allows carriers to purchase advertising space in specific markets in a sponsorship area on our website, our licensing to third parties the use of our health insurance ecommerce technology, and our delivery and sale to third parties of individual and family health insurance leads generated by our ecommerce platforms and our marketing activities.


(3)
Segment profit (loss) is calculated as revenue for the applicable segment less marketing and advertising, customer care and enrollment, technology and content and general and administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition costs, temperamental in fair value of earnout liability, restructuring charges and amortization of intangible assets, that are directly attributable to the applicable segment and other indirect marketing and advertising, customer care and enrollment and technology and pleased operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of intangible assets, allocated to the applicable segment based on usage.

Estimated Membership
Estimated membership represents the estimated number of members active as of the date indicated based on the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation.
(1)
For Medicare-related health insurance plans, we take the sum of (i) the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment for a month that is up to two months prior to the date of estimation (after reducing that number using historical experience for assumed member cancellations over the period being estimated); and (ii) the number of approved members over that period (after reducing that number using historical experience for an assumed number of members who do not accept their approved policy from the same month of the previous year and for estimated member cancellations through the date of the estimate). To the extent we determine we have received substantially all of the commission payments related to a given month during the period being estimated, we will take the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation. The estimated number of members active on Medicare-related health insurance as of the date indicated is based on the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation.


(2)
To estimate the number of members on individual and family health insurance plans, we take the sum of (i) the number of IFP members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment for a month that is up to six months prior to the date of estimation (after reducing that number using historical experience for assumed member cancellations over the period being estimated); and (ii) the number of approved members over that period (after reducing that number by the percentage of members who do not accept their current policy from the same month of the previous year for estimated member cancellations through the date of the estimate). To the extent we determine we have received substantially all of the commission payments related to a given month during the period being estimated, we will take the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation.  For IFP health insurance plans, a member who purchases and is active on multiple standalone insurance plans will be counted as a member more than once. For example, a member who is active on both an individual and family health insurance plan and a standalone dental plan will be counted as two continuing members.

(3)
For ancillary health insurance plans (such as short-term, dental and vision insurance), we take the sum of (i) the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment for a month that is up to three months prior to the date of estimation (after reducing that number using historical experience for assumed member cancellations over the period being estimated); and (ii) the number of approved members over that period (after reducing that number using historical experience for an assumed number of members who do not fetch their approved policy from the same month of the previous year and for estimated member cancellations through the date of the estimate). To the extent we determine we have received substantially all of the commission payments related to a given month during the period being estimated, we will take the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation. The one to three-month period varies by insurance product and is largely dependent upon the timeliness of commission payment and related reporting from the related carriers.


(4)
For small business health insurance plans, we estimate the number of members using the number of initial members at the time the group is well-liked, and we update this number for changes in membership if such changes are reported to us by the group or carrier in the period it is reported. However, groups generally notify the carrier directly of policy cancellations and increases or decreases in group size without informing us. Health insurance carriers often do not communicate policy cancellation information or group size changes to us. We often are made aware of policy cancellations and group size changes at the time of annual renewal and update our membership statistics accordingly in the period they are reported.
Health insurance carriers bill and collect insurance premiums paid by our members. The carriers do not report to us the number of members that we have as of a given date. The majority of our members who terminate their policies do so by discontinuing their premium payments to the carrier and do not seek information from us of the cancellation. Also, some of our members pay their premiums less frequently than monthly. Given the number of months required to observe non-payment of commissions in order to confirm cancellations, we estimate the number of members who are active on insurance policies as of a specified date.
After we have estimated membership for a period, we may receive information from health insurance carriers that would have impacted the estimate if we had received the information prior to the date of estimation. We may receive commission payments or other information that indicates that a member who was not included in our estimates for a prior period was in fact an active member at that time, or that a member who was included in our estimates was in fact not an active member of ours. For instance, we reconcile seek information from carriers provide to us and may determine that we were not historically paid commissions owed to us, which would cause us to have underestimated membership. Conversely, carriers may require us to return commission payments paid in a prior period due to policy cancellations for members we previously estimated as being active. We do not update our estimated membership numbers reported in previous periods. Instead, we reflect updated information regarding our historical membership in the membership estimate for the current period. As a result of the delay in our receipt of information from insurance carriers, good trends in our membership are most discernible over periods longer than from one quarter to the next. As a result of the delay we experience in receiving information about our membership, it is difficult for us to determine with any certainty the impact of unique conditions on our membership retention. Healthcare reform and its impacts as well as other factors could cause the assumptions and estimates that we make in connection with estimating our membership to be inaccurate, which would cause our membership estimates to be inaccurate.

Constrained Lifetime Value of Commissions Per Approved Member
(1)
Constrained lifetime value ("LTV") of commissions per approved member represents commissions estimated to be collected over the estimated life of an well-liked member's policy after applying constraints in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. The estimate is driven by multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix, expected plan duration and applied constraints. These factors may result in varying values from period to period.


(2)
For small business, the amount represents the estimated commissions we expect to tranquil from the plan over the following twelve months. The estimate is driven by multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix, expected plan duration and applied constraints. These factors may result in varying values from period to period.

Constraints on Lifetime Value of Commissions Per Approved Member
Constraints are applied to derive LTV of commissions per approved member for revenue recognition in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. The constraints are applied to help ensure that commissions estimated to be still over the estimated life of an approved member's plan are recognized as revenue only to the extent that is it probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with future commissions receivable from the plan is subsequently resolved. We evaluate constraints on an annual basis for factors affecting our estimate of LTV of commissions per approved member and apply management judgment to determine the constraints based on current trends impacting our business.
