Net income per diluted share was $0.36 for the second quarter ended July 31, 2018, compared to $0.27 for the second quarter ended July 31, 2017.

Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.34 for the second quarter ended July 31, 2018, compared to $0.21 for the second quarter ended July 31, 2017.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $31.8 million for the second quarter ended July 31, 2018, an increase of 33% compared to $23.9 million for the second quarter ended July 31, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA was 45% of revenue for the second quarter ended July 31, 2018, compared to 42% for the second quarter ended July 31, 2017.

As of July 31, 2018, we had $302.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no outstanding debt. This compares to $240.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no outstanding debt as of January 31, 2018.

HSA Member and Custodial Asset metrics

The total number of HSAs for which we serve as a non-bank custodian ("HSA Members") as of July 31, 2018 was 3.6 million, an increase of 23% from 2.9 million as of July 31, 2017.  Additionally, total Active HSA Members as of July 31, 2018 was 2.9 million, an increase of 19% from 2.5 million as of July 31, 2017. An Active HSA Member is an HSA Member that (i) is associated with a Health Plan and Administrator Partner or an Employer Partner, in each case as of the end of the applicable period; or (ii) has held a custodial balance at any point during the previous twelve month period.

Total Custodial Assets as of July 31, 2018 was $7.0 billion, an increase of 31% year over year, consisting of:

  • Custodial Investment Assets of $1.5 billion, an increase of 72% compared to July 31, 2017.

Business outlook

We have modestly increased our outlook for the year ending January 31, 2019. We expect our revenue to be between $279 million and $285 million. Our outlook for net income is a range of $63 million to $67 million, resulting in a net income per diluted share range of $0.98 to $1.05. Our Adjusted EBITDA outlook is a range of $108 million to $112 million. We also expect our non-GAAP net income to be in a range between $67 million and $71 million. Our non-GAAP net income is calculated by adding back to net income all non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net of an estimated statutory tax rate of 24%, and the impact of excess tax benefits due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09. Our non-GAAP net income outlook results in a non-GAAP net income per diluted share range between $1.05 to $1.11 (based on an estimated 64 million weighted-average shares outstanding).

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial tables at the end of this release.

Conference call

HealthEquity management will host a conference call at 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 to discuss the fiscal year 2019 second quarter financial results. The conference call will be accessible by dialing 844-791-6252, or 661-378-9636 for international callers, and referencing conference ID 8588717. A live audio webcast of the call will also be available on the investor relations section of our website at http://ir.healthequity.com.

Non-GAAP financial Information

To supplement our financial information presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and other certain non-operating items. Non-GAAP net income is calculated by adding back to net income all non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net of an estimated statutory tax rate, and the impact of excess tax benefits due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The Company cautions investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from GAAP; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare current results with results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies. Whenever we use these non-GAAP financial measures, we provide a reconciliation of the applicable non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed in the tables below.
