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 123(R)    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 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 as well as additional    tax expense recorded during the period in accordance with SFAS 123(R).    --  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 net incomeand non-GAAP net income per diluted share are not calculated in accordancewith GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as asubstitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordancewith GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release havelimitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated withthe operations of the company's business and do not reflect all of theincome tax as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you shouldnot consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis ofeHealth's results as reported under GAAP. The company expects to continueto incur stock-based compensation costs described above, and exclusion ofthese costs, and their related income tax impact, from non-GAAP financialmeasures should not be construed as an inference that these costs areunusual or infrequent. The company compensates for these limitations byprominently disclosing GAAP operating income, GAAP net income and GAAP netincome per diluted share and providing investors with reconciliations fromthe company's GAAP operating results to the non-GAAP financial measures forthe 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.

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.

Ending membership     includes an estimated number of members transferred from Health     Benefits Direct Corporation during 2009, net of estimated cancelations     since their transfer, of approximately 30,000 members.
