Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation includes forward-looking statements, as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Management’s projections and expectations are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual performance to differ materially from those predicted or implied. 
These statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the company does not intend to update or
otherwise revise the forward-looking information to reflect actual results of operations, changes in
financial condition, changes in estimates, expectations or assumptions, changes in general economic or
industry conditions or other circumstances arising and/or existing since the preparation of this
presentation or to reflect the occurrence of any unanticipated events.  The forward-looking statements in
this presentation do not include the potential impact of any acquisitions or divestitures that may be
announced and/or completed after the date hereof.  Information about the factors that could affect future
performance
can
be
found
in
our
recent
SEC
filings,
available
on
our
website
at
http://ir.higherone.com/.
This presentation includes certain metrics presented on a non-GAAP basis, including non-GAAP adjusted
EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted diluted
EPS, and non-GAAP Free Cash Flow.  We believe that these non-GAAP measures, which exclude
amortization of intangibles, stock based compensation, and certain one-time or non-cash impacts to our
results, all net of taxes, provide useful information regarding normalized trends relating to the company’s
financial condition and results of operations.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their closest
comparable GAAP measure are included in the appendix of this presentation.

Q2’10 Operating Expenses
Increased operating leverage from
scale and improved efficiencies
Decrease in G&A as a percent of
revenue partially offset by public
company expenses
Main driver of PD expense is
employee compensation…
not
ramping headcount as fast as
revenue
Absolute dollar value of PD expense
up 38% y/y
Making the necessary investments
for the future
Excluding stock-based and other
customer acquisition expense, S&M
expense as a percent of revenue
would have been 7.5% in Q2’10
(compared to 11.4% in Q2’09)
Additional employee-related expenses
Increase in S&M as a percent of
revenue partially offset by efficiency

GAAP Guidance Update
FY’10
Q3’10
Impacted  by stock-based compensation, stock based and other customer
acquisition expense, and amortization of intangibles
Stock-based and other customer acquisition expense based on the undergraduate
enrollment at higher education clients acquired relating to the acquisition of
EduCard in 2008 and IDC in 2009 and the market value of shares of ONE at time of
acquisition... difficult to predict both future sales and the share price in the future

Non-GAAP
amounts

for

the
estimated
quarterly

that
exclude
(i)
the
amortization
of

of
approximately
$500,000,
(ii)
stock-based

(b)
Estimated
Non-GAAP
amounts
above
for

$2.0

$2.5

of
approximately
$7.0
million

$12.0
million.
Stock-based

primarily
relates
to
our
acquisition
of
EduCard
in
2008
and
IDC
in
2009,
in
connection
with
which
we
issued
restricted
stock.
We
calculate
the
stock-based
and
other
customer
acquisition
expense
based
on
the
undergraduate
enrollment
at
higher

clients
acquired
relating
to
the
acquisition,
and
the
market
value
of
our
common
stock
at

predict
with
any

either
the
number
of

the
timing
of
future
customer
acquisitions,

the

value
