Fourth Quarter 2021 Highlights
Fourth quarter financial results reflected the impact of our enrollment quality initiatives on telephonic conversion rates.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $243.5 million, a 17% decrease compared to $293.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Medicare Advantage constrained LTVs increased 7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The independent actuarial experts validated our quarter-end commissions receivable balance and were comfortable with our process for estimating product LTVs.
GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $32.2 million reflecting a $46.3 million impairment charge related to our goodwill and intangible assets.
Adjusted EBITDA(1)(2) was $28.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $86.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Online unassisted business continued to scale with 53% growth in approved members for Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement combined, accompanied by an increase in online conversion rates compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
Estimated Medicare Advantage membership and total Medicare membership as of December 31, 2021 grew 19% and 10%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2020.
Cash collections per Medicare member grew 19% in 2021 compared to 2020.
2022 Transformation Initiatives
We plan to implement a multi-year transformation initiative to right-size our cost structure and drive future profitability. These initiatives include targeted reductions in fixed expenses and vendor-related spend outside of mission critical areas, as well as changes to variable cost management. Through this program, we expect to achieve ongoing significant cost savings while preserving our competitive edge and focusing on initiatives with highest in-period returns on investment.
CEO Comments
Today marks four months since I became CEO of eHealth. My conviction in the company’s value proposition and mission of connecting Americans with quality, affordable health insurance remains steadfast. And I continue to believe that we have a tremendous opportunity ahead of us and the ability to capture it. At the same time, after completing a thorough review of the company’s operations, I see many opportunities for significant improvement in critical areas. We are implementing a number of changes to make our demand generation and fulfillment model more effective and profitable while continuing to perform within the new framework of heightened focus on enrollment quality. The cost transformation program, combined with the infusion of capital that we announced yesterday, are important elements in ensuring our success as we implement these critical initiatives to course correct eHealth’s business in 2022 and return to profitable growth on a substantially improved operational foundation in 2023.

(1)See the Non-GAAP Financial Information section for definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures. We revised the definition of Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2021 to exclude the impact from the convertible preferred stock issued on April 30, 2021.
(2)Effective with the first quarter of 2021, we modified our calculation of adjusted EBITDA to exclude the amortization of capitalized software development costs. The amortization of capitalized software development costs were $3.8 million and $2.4 million for the fourth quarter 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $12.9 million and $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The modified calculation is intended to more closely align with how our peer companies calculate this non-GAAP financial measure. See Revised Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation for additional information.
(3)Major Medicare plans include Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans.

(1)During the first quarter of 2021, we modified the calculation of segment profit (loss) to exclude the amortization of capitalized software development cost. The amortization of capitalized software development costs were $3.8 million and $2.4 million for the fourth quarter 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $12.9 million and $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Revised Segment Profit Summary for additional information.

Total commission revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased 15% compared to the same period in 2020 due to a $27.0 million decrease in Medicare segment commission revenue and a $10.1 million decrease in Individual, Family and Small Business segment commission revenue.

The decrease in the Medicare segment commission revenue was primarily due to a 15% decrease in approved members, partially offset by an increase in lifetime values of Medicare Advantage plans for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in total Medicare approved members was primarily attributable to a decline in telesales conversion rate, partially offset by the growth of our online applications.

The decrease in Individual, Family and Small Business segment commission revenue was due primarily to a decrease in net adjustment revenue and a 4% decrease in approved individual and family plan members, partially offset by an increase in lifetime value of our individual and family health plan products compared to the same period in 2020.

The amortization of capitalized software development costs were $3.8 million and $2.4 million for the fourth quarter 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $12.9 million and $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Revised Segment Profit Summary for additional information.


Total commission revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased 3% compared to the same period in 2020 due to a $17.1 million decrease in Medicare segment commission revenue, partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in Individual, Family and Small Business segment commission revenue.

The decrease in commission revenue from the Medicare segment was driven by a decrease in net adjustment revenue and a decline in Medicare Supplement plan approved members for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by an increase in the approved members and estimated constrained LTV for Medicare Advantage plans.

The increase in commission revenue from the Individual, Family and Small Business segment was primarily driven by a 28% increase in individual and family plan approved members and an increase in adjustment revenue in this segment compared to a year ago.

(2)Effective with the first quarter of 2021, we modified our calculation of adjusted EBITDA to exclude the amortization of capitalized software development costs. The amortization of capitalized software development costs were $3.8 million and $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $12.9 million and $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The modified calculation is intended to more closely align with how our peer companies calculate this non-GAAP financial measure. See Revised Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation for additional information.


Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $13.1 million, or $0.49 non-GAAP net income per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $63.1 million, or $2.32 non-GAAP net income per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily attributable to a decline in revenue and a 5% increase in non-GAAP operating expense driven by higher marketing and advertising expenses and customer care and enrollment expenses in preparation for the annual enrollment period and reflective of our enrollment quality measures.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2021 are calculated by excluding $46.3 million of impairment charges, $4.6 million of paid-in-kind dividends and $2.6 million change in preferred stock redemption value (both related to the private placement with H.I.G. Capital), $8.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.9 million of restructuring and reorganization charges, $0.1 million of amortization of intangible assets, and $11.0 million of the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments from GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders per diluted share. We recorded $46.3 million impairment charges related to our goodwill and intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to the recent change in our market valuation and financial performance.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2020 are calculated by excluding $3.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.3 million of amortization of intangible assets and $0.6 million of the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments from GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in non-GAAP operating expense and a decline in revenue.

Non-GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $37.3 million, or $1.40 non-GAAP net loss per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $65.6 million, or $2.43 non-GAAP net income per diluted share, for the same period in 2020, primarily attributable to a 15% increase in non-GAAP operating expense due to our enrollment quality initiatives and preparation for the annual enrollment period and a decrease in revenue.

Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2021 were calculated by excluding $46.3 million of impairment charges, $12.2 million of paid-in-kind dividends, $6.4 million change in preferred stock redemption value, $32.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, $4.9 million of restructuring and reorganization charges, $0.5 million of amortization of intangible assets, and $17.5 million of the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments from GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders per diluted share. We recorded $46.3 million impairment charges related to our goodwill and intangible assets in the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to the recent change in our market valuation and financial performance.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020 were calculated by excluding $25.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.5 million of amortization of intangible assets and $6.5 million of the income tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments from GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in non-GAAP operating expense and a decrease in revenue.

Medicare approved members remained flat in 2021 compared to 2020 due to a 3% growth in Medicare Advantage plan members, offset by a decrease in Medicare Supplement and Medicare Part D plan members. The increase in approved Medicare Advantage members was primarily due to our investments in customer care and enrollment and marketing, and an increase in online enrollment, partially offset by a decline in telesales conversion rate during the second half of 2021. Approved members for individual and family plan products increased 28% during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, driven by a 57% increase in qualified health plan approved members and an 8% increase in non-qualified health plan approved members.

Medicare total new paying members declined 2% in 2021 compared to 2020, due primarily to a 38% decrease in Medicare Part D prescription drug plan new paying members and a 29% decrease in Medicare Supplement plan new paying members, partially offset by a 13% increase in Medicare Advantage plan new paying members. Individual and family plan new paying members grew 33% in 2021 compared to 2020 due to a 55% increase in new paying members for qualified plans and an 18% increase in new paying members for non-qualified plans.

Estimated membership was 1,346,375 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 5% compared to estimated membership at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a 10% increase in Medicare estimated membership including a 19% increase in Medicare Advantage estimated membership.


Convertible Preferred Stock

On April 30, 2021, we issued and sold 2.25 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an aggregate purchase price of $225.0 million to an investment vehicle of H.I.G. Capital in a private placement. This transaction resulted in net proceeds of $214.0 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we accrued paid-in-kind dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at 8% per annum equal to $4.6 million and recognized $2.6 million of accretion due to the redemption feature available to H.I.G. Capital at the sixth anniversary of the closing of this transaction. These charges were recorded as a reduction of our retained earnings and had no impact on GAAP net loss, which was $32.2 million, for the fourth quarter of 2021. However, as the Series A Preferred Stock is considered a participating security, both of these charges impacted net loss attributable to common stockholders and net loss attributable to common stockholders per share. For the fourth quarter of 2021, GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $39.3 million, or $1.45 per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement eHealth’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, eHealth presents investors with non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income (loss); non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share; and adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders excluding the following items:
paid-in-kind dividends for preferred stock and change in preferred stock redemption value (together "impact from preferred stock"),
the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units,
restructuring and reorganization charges,
amortization of intangible assets,
impairment charges,
other non-recurring charges (as noted below), and
the income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share consists of GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholder per diluted share excluding the following items:
impact from preferred stock,
the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units per diluted share,
restructuring and reorganization charges per diluted share,
amortization of intangible assets per diluted share,
impairment charges,
other non-recurring charges (as noted below) per diluted share, and
the income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments per diluted share.

10


Adjusted EBITDA(1) is calculated by excluding the impact from preferred stock, interest income and expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and reorganization charges, amortization of intangible assets, impairment charges, other income (expense), net, and other non-recurring charges to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders. Other non-recurring charges to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders may include transaction expenses in connection with capital raising transactions (whether debt, equity or equity-linked) and acquisitions, whether or not consummated, purchase price adjustments and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles.
_____________

(1)Effective with the first quarter of 2021, we modified our calculation of adjusted EBITDA to exclude the amortization of capitalized software development costs. The modified calculation is intended to more closely align with how our peer companies calculate this non-GAAP financial measure. See Revised Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation for additional information.

eHealth believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to eHealth’s financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with eHealth’s past financial reports. Management also believes that the items described above provide an additional measure of eHealth’s operating results and facilitates comparisons of eHealth’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 eHealth’s ongoing operations. eHealth believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in their assessment of eHealth’s operating performance.

Non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA 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 eHealth’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. eHealth expects to continue to incur the stock-based compensation costs, amortization of intangible assets, and depreciation and amortization 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. eHealth compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP net income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders 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 distinct 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, fees for the performance of administrative services and to a lesser extent, amounts from our sale of ancillary products sold to our Medicare-eligible customers, including but not limited to, dental and vision plans, as well as amounts we are paid in connection with our advertising program for marketing and other services.
(2)
The Individual, Family and Small Business segment consists primarily of amounts earned from our sale of individual, family and small 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 plans 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 expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and reorganization charges, amortization of intangible assets and impairment charges, 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 expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and reorganization charges, amortization of intangible assets and impairment charges, allocated to the applicable segment based on usage.
(4)
During the first quarter of 2021, we revised the calculation of segment profit (loss) by excluding amortization of capitalized software development costs to enhance comparability of our financial metrics with peer companies. The amortization of capitalized software development costs were $3.8 million and $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $12.9 million and $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Revised Segment Profit Summary for additional information.
(5)
Corporate consists of other indirect general and administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, which are managed in a corporate shared services environment and, because they are not the responsibility of segment operating management, are not allocated to the reportable segments.

We define our Individual and Family plan offerings as major medical individual and family health insurance plans, which does not include Medicare-related, small business or ancillary plans. Individual and family health insurance plans include both qualified and non-qualified plans. Qualified health plans are individual and family health insurance plans that meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act and are offered through the government-run health insurance exchange in the relevant jurisdiction. Non-qualified health plans are Individual and Family plans that meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act and are not offered through the exchange in the relevant jurisdiction. Individuals that purchase non-qualified health plans cannot receive a subsidy in connection with the purchase of those plans.

(1)
To estimate the number of members on 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 may be 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 accept their approved policy and for estimated member cancellations through the date of the estimate). To the extent we determine through confirmations from a health insurance carrier that a commission payment is delayed or is inaccurate as of the date of estimation, we adjust the estimated membership to also reflect the number of members for whom we expect to receive or to refund a commission payment. Further, to the extent 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.
(2)
To estimate the number of members on Individual and Family plans, we take the sum of (i) the number of Individual and Family plan members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment for a month that may be 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 accept their approved policy 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.
(3)
To estimate the number of members on 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 may be 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 accept their approved policy 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)
To estimate the number of members on small business health insurance plans, we use the number of initial members at the time the group was approved, and we update this number for changes in membership if such changes are reported to us by the group or carrier. 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.

EHEALTH, INC.
SUMMARY OF SELECTED METRICS
ESTIMATED MEMBERSHIP (Continued)
(Unaudited)

Estimated Membership
Estimated membership represents the estimated number of members active as of the date indicated based on the estimation methodology above.
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 inform 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 information 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. If we experience a significant variance in historical membership as compared to our initial estimates, we keep the prior period data consistent with previously reported amounts, while we may provide the updated information in other communications. As a result of the delay in our receipt of information from insurance carriers, actual 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 current conditions on our membership retention. Various circumstances 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 approved member’s plan 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, estimated average plan duration, the regulatory environment, and cancellations of insurance plans offered by health insurance carriers with which we have a relationship. These factors may result in varying values from period to period.
(2)For small business, the amount represents the estimated commissions we expect to collect 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, estimated average plan duration, the regulatory environment, and cancellations of insurance plans offered by health insurance carriers with which we have a relationship 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 collected over the estimated life of an approved member’s plan are recognized as revenue only to the extent that it is 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 a quarterly 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.

_____________
(1)
MA-equivalent approved members is a derived metric with a Medicare Part D approved member being weighted at 25% of a Medicare Advantage member and a Medicare Supplement member based on their relative LTVs at the time of our adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). We calculate the number of approved MA-equivalent members by adding the total number of approved Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement members and 25% of the total number of approved Medicare Part D members during the period presented.
(2)
IFP-equivalent approved members is a derived metric with a short-term approved member being weighted at 33% of a major medical individual and family health insurance plan member based on their relative LTVs at the time of our adoption of ASC 606. We calculate the number of approved IFP-equivalent members by adding the total number of approved qualified and non-qualified health plan members and 33% of the total number of short-term approved members during the period presented.

Expense Metrics Per Approved Member
Marketing initiatives are an important component of our strategy to increase revenue and are primarily designed to encourage consumers to complete an application for health insurance. Variable marketing cost represents direct costs incurred in member acquisition from our direct, marketing partners and online advertising channels. In addition, we incur customer care and enrollment expenses in assisting applicants, including during the enrollment process.

The numerator used to calculate each metric is the portion of the respective operating expenses for marketing and advertising and customer care and enrollment that is directly related to member acquisition for our sale of Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans (collectively, the “Medicare Plans”) and for all IFP plans including individual and family plans and short-term health insurance (collectively, the “IFP Plans”), respectively. The denominator used to calculate each metric is based on a derived metric that represents the relative value of the new members acquired. For Medicare Plans, we call this derived metric Medicare Advantage (“MA”)-equivalent members, and for IFP Plans, we call this derived metric IFP-equivalent members. The calculations for MA-equivalent members and for IFP-equivalent members are based on the weighted number of approved members for Medicare Plans and IFP Plans during the period, with the number of approved members adjusted based on the relative LTV of the product they are purchasing. Since the LTV for any product fluctuates from period to period, the weight given to each product was determined based on their relative LTVs at the time of our adoption of ASC 606. Variable marketing costs exclude fixed overhead costs, such as personnel related costs, consulting expenses, facilities and other operating costs allocated to the marketing and advertising department.
