Non-GAAP Financial Information

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

--  Non-GAAP operating income 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 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 GAAP total revenue.    --  Non-GAAP pre-tax income consists of GAAP pre-tax income excluding the    effects of expensing stock-based compensation.    --  Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding the effects    of expensing stock-based compensation adjusted for estimated income tax    benefit related to stock-based compensation expense.    --  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 measuresprovide important supplemental information to management and investorsregarding financial and business trends relating to the company's financialcondition and results of operations. Management believes that the use ofthese non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparabilitywith the company's past financial reports. Management also believes thatthe exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measureof the company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of thecompany's core operating performance against prior periods and businessmodel objectives. This information is provided to investors in order tofacilitate additional analyses of past, present and future operatingperformance and as a supplemental means to evaluate the company's ongoingoperations. Externally, the company believes that these non-GAAP financialmeasures continue to be useful to investors in their assessment of thecompany's operating performance.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP pre-taxincome, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share arenot calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be consideredsupplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financialmeasures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measuresused in this press release have limitations in that they do not reflect allof the costs associated with the operations of the company's business anddo not reflect all of the income tax as determined in accordance with GAAP.As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as asubstitute for analysis of eHealth's results as reported under GAAP. Thecompany expects to continue to incur operating costs similar to thenon-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these costs, andtheir related income tax impact, from non-GAAP financial measures shouldnot be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual orinfrequent. The company compensates for these limitations by prominentlydisclosing GAAP operating income, GAAP pre-tax income, GAAP net income andGAAP net income per diluted share and providing investors withreconciliations from the company's GAAP operating results to the non-GAAPfinancial measures for the relevant periods.

The accompanying tables provide more details on the GAAP financial measuresthat are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures andthe related reconciliations between these financial measures.
