2018 Full Year Guidance

The Company raises its annual guidance of revenue for 2018 to be between $294 million and $304 million, or grow approximately 17% to 21%, year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA to be between $56 million and $59 million, or grow approximately 24% to 30% year-over-year, and reaffirms adjusted EPS to be between $2.47 and $2.57, or grow approximately 50% to 56% year-over-year. These guidance numbers are based on the Company’s current method of accounting for revenue. As an emerging growth company, the Company will be adopting the revised revenue recognition standard, known as ASC 606, in the fourth quarter of 2018 for the full year ended December 31, 2018.

"HIIQ continues to be uniquely positioned to take advantage of the growing demand for affordable health insurance solutions and we will continue to provide a safety net to consumers and their families who otherwise would be unable to find an affordable solution. We are focused to continue to be a leader in our market and to reach as many consumers as possible. I am even more excited about our future than I have been in the past,” said Gavin Southwell, HIIQ's Chief Executive Officer and President.

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Discussion

Third quarter revenues of $74.0 million increased 16.9%, compared to the third quarter in 2017, driven by an increase in policies in force resulting from lower lapse rates, higher average premium, favorable commission margins, and improved discount benefit plan offerings.

Third-party commissions in the third quarter of 2018 were $46.7 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 27.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2017. The increases in third-party commissions were primarily due to an increase in the number of policies in force sold through third-party licensed distributors.

Total selling, general & administrative expense ("SG&A") was $18.3 million (24.7% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $15.5 million (24.5% of revenues) in the same period in 2017. Q3 SG&A included cash severance expense of $0.7 million and $2.4 million of non-cash based severance expense, primarily related to the termination of HealthPocket's two founders, and higher professional fees. Core SG&A, defined as total SG&A adjusted for stock-based compensation, transaction costs, indemnity and other related legal costs, severance, restructuring and other costs, and marketing leads and advertising expense, was $9.9 million (13.3% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $10.2 million (16.2% of revenues) in the same period in 2017. A reconciliation of Core SG&A to SG&A is included within this press release.

Net income was $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $6.0 million in the same period in 2017, a decrease of 33.3%. Third quarter 2018 included a cash severance expense of $0.7 million. Additionally, stock-based compensation and related costs was $1.7 million higher in the third quarter of 2018, compared to the third quarter of 2017. EBITDA was $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $9.9 million in the same period in 2017, a decrease of 32.3%.

Adjusted EBITDA was $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 8.5%, compared to $12.9 million in the same period in 2017. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 18.9%, in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 20.4% in the same period in 2017. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and adjusting for items such as stock-based compensation and related costs and items that are not part of regular operating activities, including indemnity and other related legal costs, severance, restructuring, and acquisition costs. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is included within this press release.

GAAP diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2018 was $0.22, compared to $0.30 in the same period in 2017. Third quarter 2018 GAAP diluted EPS was unfavorably impacted by the above-described severance expense and higher stock-based compensation.

Adjusted EPS for the third quarter of 2018 was $0.61, compared to $0.46 in 2017. The increase in Adjusted EPS was driven by higher revenue from greater policies in force, continued scalability as well as a lower pro-forma statutory tax rate of 24%, compared to 38% used in the prior period. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income per share is included within this press release.

The Company makes advances to distributors based on actual sales. These advanced commissions assist distributors with working capital. The Company recovers advances on an ongoing basis from future commissions on premiums, which are collected over the period in which policies renew. At September 30, 2018, the short- and long-term advanced commission balance was $42.7 million, a $3.2 million increase from the December 31, 2017 year-end balance of $39.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2018 totaled $33.1 million, a decrease of $7.8 million from the December 31, 2017 year-end balance. The Company repurchased 310,890 shares of its common stock in the third quarter of 2018 for $15.7 million as part of its previously announced share repurchase program.

Regulatory Update

As previously disclosed, the Company is the subject of a multistate market conduct examination (MCE). On October 3, 2018 the Company met with the MCE examiners for confidential settlement discussions. These discussions included updated feedback on the results of the examination, and discussion aimed toward potential resolution of the examination. The Company has made what it believes to be an appropriate accrual based on the nature and stage of current discussions with the MCE examiners. Under the rules of the MCE, the negotiations remain confidential.

Revenue Recognition Update

The Company will be adopting the revised revenue recognition standard, known as ASC 606, in the fourth quarter of 2018 for the full year ended December 31, 2018.

Under the standard, we have determined that we have two groups of performance obligations, which we define as: Sales and Enrollment, and Billing and Collecting / Member Support. While our adoption of ASC 606 will not change how our business operates, we believe that our adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements by bringing forward how we recognize revenue.  We will now recognize the sales and enrollment component of our revenue at a point in time, or upfront, based on the amount of the total estimated lifetime duration for each insurance product or discount benefit plan that we sell.  We will continue to recognize the billing, collection and customer service component of our revenue over time as we continue to perform these services.  The sales and enrollment component of our revenue in any given quarter will be driven almost exclusively by new enrollments that we generate during the quarter.  We plan to restate the 2018 year-to-date financial statements with our fourth quarter 2018 earnings release.

The Company will host an earnings conference call on October 30, 2018 at 8:30 A.M. Eastern time.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement HIIQ’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, HIIQ presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including premium equivalents, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS, and Core SG&A. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined below, should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

  1. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We have included EBITDA in this report because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. However, 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 GAAP.
     
  2. To calculate adjusted EBITDA, we calculate EBITDA, which is then further adjusted for items such as stock-based compensation and related costs and items that are not part of regular operating activities, including tax receivable adjustments, severance, restructuring, indemnity and other related legal costs, and acquisition costs. 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 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 GAAP.
     
  3. To calculate adjusted net income, we calculate net income then add back amortization (but not depreciation), interest, tax expense, stock-based compensation and related costs, and other items that are not part of regular operating activities, including, tax receivable adjustments, severance, restructuring, indemnity and other related legal costs, and acquisition costs. From adjusted pre-tax net income we apply a pro-forma tax expense calculated at an assumed rate of 24% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 38% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. We believe that when measuring Company and executive performance against the adjusted net income measure, applying a pro forma tax rate better reflects the performance of the Company without regard to the Company’s organizational tax structure. We have included adjusted net income in this report because it is a key performance 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 their evaluation of our company. Other companies may calculate this measure differently than we do. Adjusted net income has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or substitution for earnings per share as reported under GAAP.
     
  4. Adjusted net income per share is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the total number of diluted Class A and Class B shares of our common stock for each period. We have included adjusted net income per share in this report 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 evaluation 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 as a substitute for earnings per share as reported under GAAP.

  1. Premium equivalents is defined as our total collections, including the combination of premiums, fees for discount benefit plans, third-party commissions and referral fees. All amounts not paid out as risk premium to carriers or paid out to other third-party obligors are considered to be revenues for financial reporting purposes. We have included premium equivalents in this report because it is a key measure used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the inclusion of premium equivalents can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. This financial measurement is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and is not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be used as, and is not an alternative to, revenues as a measure of our operating performance.
