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; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share.

  • Non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income excluding the following items:< >an asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012,the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, andintangible asset amortization expense.

    Non-GAAP operating margins are calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income by GAAP total revenue.
     
  • EBITDA is calculated by adding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, including intangible asset amortization expense, other (income) expense, net and provision for income taxes to GAAP net income.
     
  • Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding the following items:< >an asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012,the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718,intangible asset amortization expense, andthe related income tax benefits of these excluded expenses.
    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, EBITDA, 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 revenue and 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 benefits, 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 operating margins, 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, student or Medicare-related health insurance plans.
(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.
(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.
(5) Commission revenue (from all sources) recognized during the period from the condensed consolidated statements of income.
(6) Calculated as commission 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). See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 - 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. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 - 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.
(8) Estimated number of members active on Medicare insurance policies as of the date indicated. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 - 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) Estimated number of members active on insurance policies other than IFP and Medicare policies as of the date indicated. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 - 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.

See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 - 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.
(11) 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.
(12) 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.
