Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
In connection with the IPO (as defined below), the Company became the sole managing member of GHH, LLC and controls the management of GHH, LLC. As a result, the Company consolidates GHH, LLC’s financial results in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and reports a non-controlling interest for the economic interest in GHH, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners. Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, the existing limited liability company agreement of GHH, LLC was amended and restated to, among other things, recapitalize its capital structure by creating a single new class of units (the “common units”) and provide for a right of redemption of common units (subject in certain circumstances to time-based vesting requirements and certain other restrictions) in exchange for, at the Company’s election, cash or newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption, the Company will receive a corresponding number of common units, increasing the Company’s total ownership interest in GHH, LLC.
Net income and loss is allocated to the Continuing Equity Owners on a pro-rata basis, assuming that any Class B common units that are subject to time-based vesting requirements are fully vested.
GHH, LLC is a holding company with no operating assets or operations and was formed to acquire a 100% equity interest in Norvax. On May 6, 2020, Blizzard Parent, LLC changed its name to “GoHealth Holdings, LLC”. GHH, LLC owns 100% of Blizzard Midco, LLC, which owns 100% of Norvax. For all of the periods reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, GHH, LLC has not and does not have any material operations on a standalone basis, and all of the operations of GHH, LLC are carried out by Norvax.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, but do not include all information and footnote disclosures required under GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Effective on December 31, 2021, we lost our emerging growth company ("EGC") status, which accelerated the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases and ASU 2019-11, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. As a result, we recast our previously reported consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2021 to reflect the adoption of these standards.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as discussed in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Seasonality
Seasonality
A greater number of the Company’s Medicare-related health insurance plans are sold in its fourth quarter during the Medicare annual enrollment period when Medicare-eligible individuals are permitted to change their Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage for the following year. As a result, the Company’s Medicare plan-related commission revenue is typically highest in the Company’s fourth quarter.
The majority of the Company’s individual and family health insurance plans are sold in its fourth quarter during the annual open enrollment period as defined under the federal Patient Protection and ACA and related amendments in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act. Individuals and families generally are not able to purchase individual and family health insurance outside of the open enrollment period, unless they qualify for a special enrollment period as a result of certain qualifying events, such as losing employer-sponsored health insurance or moving to another state. As a result, the Company’s individual and family plan-related commission revenue is typically highest in the Company’s fourth quarter.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance specifies that lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all their leases except those which meet the definition of a short-term lease. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or financing. Classification will be based on criteria that are similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2021. The Company elected the optional transition method which allows entities to continue to apply historical accounting guidance in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. At transition, lessees and lessors may elect to apply a package of practical expedients permitting entities not to reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under the amended guidance. These practical expedients must be elected as a package and consistently applied. The Company applied the package of practical expedients upon adoption. As a result of adopting this standard, on January 1, 2021, the Company recorded lease liabilities of $29.3 million, right-of-use assets of $28.0 million, and an immaterial cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), or cash flows. The Company has included expanded disclosures on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the guidance for accounting for assets that are potentially subject to credit risk. The amendments affect contract assets, loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2021. As a result of adopting this standard, on January 1, 2021, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment to opening equity of $0.5 million. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition for Variable Consideration
Revenue Recognition for Variable Consideration
The Company’s variable consideration includes the total estimated lifetime value (“LTV”) it expects to receive for selling an insurance product after the carrier approves an application. The consideration is variable based on the amount of time it estimates a policy will remain in force, which is based on historical experience or carrier experience to the extent available, industry data, and expectations as to future retention rates. Additionally, the Company considers the application of a constraint and only recognizes the amount of variable consideration that it believes is probable that it will be entitled to receive and will not be subject to a significant revenue reversal in the future. Due to lower persistency observed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and declining LTV estimates, the Company applied an incremental LTV constraint to all Medicare policies sold in the first and second quarters of 2022.
On a quarterly basis, the Company re-estimates LTV at a vintage level for outstanding vintages, reviews and monitors changes in the data used to estimate LTV, as well as the cash received for each vintage as compared to the original estimates. The difference between cash received for each vintage and the respective estimated LTV can be significant and may or may not be indicative of the need to adjust revenue for prior period vintages. Changes in LTV may result in an increase or a decrease to revenue and a corresponding change to commissions receivable. The Company analyzes these differences and to the extent the Company believes differences in the estimates are indicative of a change to prior period LTVs, the Company will adjust revenue for the affected vintages at the time such determination is made and when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
