Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. Reports Record Second Quarter Results

Record Quarterly Revenue; Up 53.7% from 2Q 2013

Company Increases Full Year 2014 Guidance to at least 45%

TAMPA, Fla., August 11, 2014 — Health Insurance Innovations, Inc., “HII” (NASDAQ:HIIQ), a leading developer and cloud-based administrator of affordable health insurance plans, ancillary products, and research-driven consumer health insurance plan shopping tools, today reports results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014:

 

    Record revenue of $20.9 million, an increase of 53.7 percent over $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2013.

 

    Total collections from customers, what our industry refers to as premium equivalents, was $37.2 million, representing 53.7 percent growth from $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. (See the reconciliation of premium equivalents to revenues and non GAAP gross margin within this press release.)

 

    Increase full year premium equivalent guidance to at least 45 percent growth year-over-year and adding revenue guidance of at least 45 percent growth year-over-year.

 

    Cash generated by operations of $2.3 million compared to cash used in operations of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2013.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2013.

 

    Income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.05 compared to a loss of $0.08 in the second quarter of 2013. Non GAAP net income per share was $0.09 for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $0.08 in the second quarter of 2013.

 

    As of June 30, 2014, HII’s distribution included 107 licensed agent call centers and over 15,500 licensed broker distributors compared to 79 call centers and over 9,000 broker distributors at the end of the second quarter in 2013.

 

    On July 14, 2014, HII announced the acquisition of Silicon Valley, CA-based HealthPocket, Inc., which analyzes and aggregates the nation’s largest repository of health insurance information and uses it to power its consumer website, healthpocket.com, the only resource that empowers consumers to comparatively shop all available Medicare and Affordable Care Act health insurance plans in one place. The incorporation of HealthPocket fits HII’s growth strategy to gain competitive advantage with unrivaled products and technology solutions.

 

    On August 8, 2014, HII acquired American Service Insurance Agency, a Dallas / Fort Worth based licensed agent call center, further strengthening our distribution capacity.

“This was another very strong quarter for HII —our 10th straight quarter of significant sequential quarterly growth and one of our highest quarterly growth rates. We expect strong revenue growth to continue in the second half of the year, particularly this fall when the Affordable Care Act open enrollment period starts,” said Mike Kosloske, Chief Executive Officer, HII. “Over the last quarter we were very pleased with the advances we have made to position HII for continued strong growth. In addition, the acquisition of HealthPocket.com in July will provide significant growth opportunities. To leverage these growth opportunities, we have enhanced the depth of our senior management team with the additions of new leaders in the following positions - Chief Operating Officer, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Financial Officer.”

Second Quarter Results

 

  Non GAAP gross margin of $10.1 million, representing 110.4% growth from $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the second quarter of 2014, the ratio of non GAAP gross margin to premium equivalents was 27.2% compared to 19.8% for the second quarter of 2013, a 740 basis point increase.

 

  Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million representing an increase of 31.3% compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2013. (See reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA within this release.)

 

  Quarterly net income of $1.0 million vs. a net loss of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2013.

 

  Record quarterly submitted applications of 58,092, representing an increase of 107% over the second quarter of 2013. Submitted applications provide insight into future revenue streams.

 

  Record policies in force as of June 30, 2014, totaling 98,988 and representing a 54.9% increase from 63,918 as of June 30, 2013.

Second Quarter and First Half 2014 Financial Highlights

Revenues increased 53.7% to $20.9 million and increased 49.0% to $38.9 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. Premium equivalents increased 53.7% to $37.2 million and increased 47.1% to $68.1 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. A reconciliation of premium equivalents to revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is included within this press release. By policy type, the mix of revenues in the second quarter of 2014 was as follows: 58% short-term medical, 15% hospital indemnity and 27% ancillary products.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company reported pre-tax income of $1.1 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. The primary driver of income in the second quarter of 2014 was the substantial increase in revenues and gross margin for the period and a $1.6

million decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense as compared to the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported pre-tax income of $0.9 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $7.0 million for the same period in 2013. The large loss in 2013 related to a one-time contract termination expense and significantly higher stock compensation expense that was recorded in 2013.

Similar to the Company’s experience in the first quarter of this year, strong demand experienced by our call center subsidiaries resulted in increased sales and marketing expense for these operations. Up-front call center SG&A expenses will lead to higher revenues and income as the policies remain in force.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to negative $0.5 million for the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated starting with EBITDA, which is then further adjusted for items that are not part of regular operating activities, including acquisition costs, contract termination costs and other non-cash items (such as stock-based compensation). Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2013. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented is included within this press release.

Income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.05 compared to a loss of $0.08 in the second quarter of 2013 and was $0.04 for the first half of 2014 compared to a loss of $0.86 for the first six months of 2013. Non GAAP net income per share was $0.09 for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $0.08 in the second quarter of 2013 and was $0.15 for the first half of 2014 compared to $0.10 for the first six months of 2013. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to non GAAP net income per share is included within this press release.

Non GAAP gross margin, which is calculated starting with revenues and then adjusted for third-party commissions, credit card and ACH fees, increased to $10.1 million, or 27.2% of premium equivalents for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $4.8 million of non-GAAP gross margin or 19.8% of premium equivalents in the same period in 2013. This 740 basis point increase reflects the acquisition of the Company’s largest distributor in July 2013 and an increase in the proportion of higher-margin ancillary policies in force. A reconciliation of premium equivalents to revenues and non GAAP gross margin for the periods presented is included within this press release.

Cash generated by operations during the second quarter of 2014 was $2.3 million, compared to cash used in operations of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first half of 2014, $0.8 million of cash was used in operations compared to $6.2 million used in the first half of 2013. Cash outflows for the six month period ended June 30, 2014, included a $2.1 million increase in payments for our advanced commission program, compared to the prior year. For the six month period in 2013, cash used in operations was primarily attributable to a $5.5 million contract termination expense.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $35.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and no long-term debt.

2014 Outlook

“Our first half 2014 performance is a great start to the year,” said Mr. Kosloske. “We continue to increase our distribution and sales, validating our anticipated business model strength of providing products for licensed agents to sell year-round, outside of the Affordable Care Act’s annual open enrollment periods. We expect continued momentum as we integrate operationally with our newly acquired organizations and build on the many opportunities they’ll provide.”

(1) EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations, each as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. We have presented EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interest parties in the evaluation of companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
(2) To calculate adjusted EBITDA, we calculate EBITDA, which is then further adjusted for items that are not part of regular operating activities, including acquisition costs, contract termination costs, and other non-cash items such as stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations, each as determined in accordance U.S. GAAP. We have presented adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies.

In particular, the inclusion of non GAAP gross margin can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Non GAAP gross margin has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Non GAAP gross margin may not accurately or full reflect our costs of generating revenues in the periods presented.

(1) Non GAAP net income is computed by subtracting depreciation (but not amortization of intangible assets) from adjusted EBITDA to determine non GAAP pre-tax income, from which an assumed tax expense calculated at the 38% federal statutory rate is deducted.
(2) Non GAAP net income per share is computed by dividing non GAAP net income by the total number of diluted Class A and Class B shares for each period. We have included non GAAP net income per share in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluations of companies. Other companies may calculate this measure differently than we do. Non GAAP net income per share has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or substitution for earnings per shares as reported under U.S. GAAP.
