Other factors that could cause operating, financial and other results to differ are described in eHealth’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the investor relations page of eHealth’s website at http://www.ehealthinsurance.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to eHealth as of the date hereof, and eHealth does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made, except as required by law. 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) excluding the following items:
- the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units,
- change in fair value of earnout liability,
- amortization of intangible assets, and
- the income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments.
- Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share consists of GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share excluding the following items:
- the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units per diluted share,
- change in fair value of earnout liability per diluted share,
- amortization of intangible assets per diluted share, and
- the income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments per diluted share.
- Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding stock-based compensation, change in fair value of earnout liability, depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of intangible assets, other income, net and provision (benefit) for income taxes to GAAP net income (loss).
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 provides 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 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. eHealth compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) 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.

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, and to a lesser extent, ancillary products sold to our Medicare-eligible customers, including but not limited to, dental and vision plans, as well as our advertising program that allows Medicare-related carriers to purchase advertising on a separate website developed, hosted and maintained by us and our delivery and sale to third parties of Medicare-related health insurance leads generated by our ecommerce platforms and our marketing activities. | | | | | (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 leads generated by our ecommerce platforms and our marketing activities. | | | | | (3) | Segment profit 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, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition costs, change in fair value of earnout liability, restructuring charges and amortization of intangible assets, 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, depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of intangible assets, allocated to the applicable segment based on usage. | | | | | (4) | Corporate consists of other indirect general and administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, 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. | | EHEALTH, INC. | | SUMMARY OF SELECTED METRICS | | COMMISSION REVENUE BY PRODUCT | | (In thousands, unaudited) | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | | | 2020 | | 2019 | | % Change | | Medicare: | | | | | | | Medicare Advantage | $ | 68,347 | | | $ | 39,843 | | | 72 | % | | Medicare Supplement | 15,170 | | | 8,597 | | | 76 | % | | Medicare Part D | 5,661 | | | 2,336 | | | 142 | % | | Total Medicare | 89,178 | | | 50,776 | | | 76 | % | | Individual and Family: (1) | | | | | | | Non-Qualified Health Plans | 1,446 | | | 2,629 | | | (45) | % | | Qualified Health Plans | 1,210 | | | 3,508 | | | (66) | % | | Total Individual and Family | 2,656 | | | 6,137 | | | (57) | % | | Ancillaries: | | | | | | | Short-term | 2,216 | | | 1,316 | | | 68 | % | | Dental | 743 | | | 790 | | | (6) | % | | Vision | 243 | | | 462 | | | (47) | % | | Other | 1,049 | | | 951 | | | 10 | % | | Total Ancillaries | 4,251 | | | 3,519 | | | 21 | % | | Small Business | 2,971 | | | 2,640 | | | 13 | % | | Commission Bonus | 613 | | | 1,155 | | | (47) | % | | Total Commission Revenue | $ | 99,669 | | | $ | 64,227 | | | 55 | % | | | | | (1) | 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.

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. | | | | | (2) | To estimate the number of members on Individual and Family health insurance plans (“IFP”), we take the sum of (i) the number of IFP 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. | Estimated Membership Estimated membership represents the estimated number of members active as of the date indicated based on the number of members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment during the month of estimation. 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. 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. Healthcare reform and its impacts as well as other factors 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. | EHEALTH, INC. | | SUMMARY OF SELECTED METRICS | | CONSTRAINED LIFETIME VALUE OF | | COMMISSIONS PER APPROVED MEMBER | | (Unaudited) | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | | | 2020 | | 2019 | | % Change | | Medicare: | | | | | | | Medicare Advantage (1) | $ | 1,006 | | | $ | 954 | | | 5 | % | | Medicare Supplement (1) | $ | 1,158 | | | $ | 999 | | | 16 | % | | Medicare Part D (1) | $ | 260 | | | $ | 258 | | | 1 | % | | Individual and Family: | | | | | | | Non-Qualified Health Plans (1) | $ | 199 | | | $ | 178 | | | 12 | % | | Qualified Health Plans (1) | $ | 240 | | | $ | 194 | | | 24 | % | | Ancillaries: | | | | | | | Short-term (1) | $ | 150 | | | $ | 65 | | | 131 | % | | Dental (1) | $ | 67 | | | $ | 71 | | | (6) | % | | Vision (1) | $ | 52 | | | $ | 63 | | | (17) | % | | Small Business (2) | $ | 160 | | | $ | 155 | | | 3 | % | 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 policy after applying constraints in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.
