We incurred pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $3.9 million for employee termination benefits and related costs as well as $0.6 million in other pre-tax restructuring charges, primarily consisting of facility costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). To supplement eHealth's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, eHealth presents investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income (loss); non-GAAP operating margins; earnings and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA); non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share.
- Non-GAAP operating income (loss) for the third quarter of 2015 consists of GAAP operating income (loss) excluding the following items:
- the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, and
- intangible asset amortization expense.
- Non-GAAP net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 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 in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718,
- restructuring charges,
- intangible asset amortization expense, and
- the related income tax benefits of these excluded expenses.
- Non-GAAP operating margins are calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income (loss) by GAAP total revenue.
- Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, including intangible asset amortization expense, restructuring charges, other expense, net and provision (benefit) for income taxes to GAAP net income (loss). The term EBITDA is used when there are no restructuring charges.
eHealth believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide 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 operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margins, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share 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 operating income (loss), GAAP operating margins, 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.

Notes:
(1) Net cash used in operating activities for the period from the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(2) Major medical Individual and Family plan ("IFP") health insurance
applications submitted on eHealth's website during the period.
Applications are counted as submitted when the applicant completes the
application, provides a method for payment and clicks the submit
button on our website and submits the application to us. The applicant
generally has additional actions to take before the application will
be reviewed by the insurance carrier, such as providing additional
information and providing an electronic signature. In addition, an
applicant may submit more than one application. We include
applications for IFP products for which we receive commissions as well
as other forms of payment. We define our "IFP" offerings as major
medical individual and family health insurance plans, which does not
include small business, short-term major medical, stand-alone dental,
life, student or Medicare-related health insurance plans.
(3) New IFP members reported to eHealth as approved during the period.
Some members that are approved by a carrier do not accept the approval
and therefore do not become paying members.
(4) New members for all products reported to eHealth as approved during
the period. Some members that are approved by a carrier do not accept
the approval and therefore do not become paying members.
(5) Commission revenue (from all sources) recognized during the period
from the condensed consolidated statements of income.
(6) Calculated as commission revenue recognized during the period (see
note (5) above) divided by average estimated membership for the period
(calculated as beginning and ending estimated membership for all
products for the period, divided by two). See the note below for
additional information regarding our calculation of IFP estimated
membership and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 -
Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Summary of Selected Metrics for additional
information regarding our calculation of Medicare and other estimated
membership.
(7) Estimated number of members active on IFP insurance policies as of the
date indicated. See the note below for additional information
regarding our calculation of IFP estimated membership.
(8) Estimated number of members active on Medicare insurance policies as
of the date indicated. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2014 - Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Summary of Selected Metrics for
additional information regarding our calculation of Medicare and other
estimated membership.
(9) Estimated number of members active on insurance policies other than
IFP and Medicare policies as of the date indicated. See our Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2014 - Item 7 - Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Summary of Selected Metrics for additional information
regarding our calculation of Medicare and other estimated membership.
(10) Estimated number of members active on all insurance policies as of the
date indicated. See the note below for additional information
regarding our calculation of IFP estimated membership and our Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 2014 - Item 7 - Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Summary of Selected Metrics for additional information
regarding our calculation of Medicare and other estimated membership.
(11) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants who came
directly to the eHealth website through algorithmic search engine
results or otherwise. See note (2) above for further information as to
what constitutes a submitted application.
(12) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants sourced
through eHealth's network of marketing partners. See note (2) above
for further information as to what constitutes a submitted
application.
(13) Percentage of IFP submitted applications from applicants sourced
through paid search and other online advertising activities. See note
(2) above for further information as to what constitutes a submitted
application.
Note: To calculate the estimated number of members active on individual and family plan insurance policies, we have taken the sum of (i) the number of IFP members for whom we have received or applied a commission payment for the month that is six months prior to the date of estimation after reducing that number using historical experience (for which the experience for the period from April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014 was used for the calculation of membership as of September 30, 2015) for assumed member cancellations over the six-month period; and (ii) the number of approved members over the six-month period prior to the date of estimation 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. For the purpose of estimating the number of members active on individual and family plan insurance policies as of September 30, 2015, we have applied the percentage of members who do not accept their approved policy from the same month of the previous year for each of the six months prior to the date of estimation. This reflects the seasonality of the open enrollment period and our business.
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. In addition, and 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 such as health care reform implementation on our membership retention. Health care reform and 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.
