Net income was $41.8 million for the first quarter ended April 30, 2019, compared to $22.6 million for the first quarter ended April 30, 2018. Net income for the first quarter ended April 30, 2019 includes $17.9 million, net of tax ($23.5 million of mark-to-market adjustment), related to an equity investment. From February 1, 2019 to April 4, 2019, the Company acquired approximately 1.6 million common shares of WageWorks, Inc. ("WageWorks") in open market purchases ahead of its April 11, 2019 proposal to acquire all of WageWorks' outstanding shares.
Net income per diluted share was $0.65 for the first quarter ended April 30, 2019, compared to $0.36 for the first quarter ended April 30, 2018. Net income per diluted share for the first quarter ended April 30, 2019 includes $0.28, net of tax, of mark-to-market adjustment related to the equity investment in WageWorks.

Adjusted EBITDA was $38.9 million for the first quarter ended April 30, 2019, an increase of 31% compared to $29.6 million for the first quarter ended April 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was 45% of revenue for the first quarter ended April 30, 2019, compared to 42% for the first quarter ended April 30, 2018.
As of April 30, 2019, we had $329.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt. This compares to $361.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt as of January 31, 2019.
HSA Member and Custodial Asset metrics
The total number of HSAs for which we serve as a non-bank custodian ("HSA Members") as of April 30, 2019 was 4.1 million, an increase of 17% from 3.5 million as of April 30, 2018. Total Active HSA Members as of April 30, 2019 was 3.2 million, an increase of 13% from 2.9 million as of April 30, 2018.

Custodial Investment Assets of $1.9 billion, an increase of 42% compared to April 30, 2018.
Business outlook
We have increased our outlook for the year ending January 31, 2020. We expect our revenue to be between $339 million and $345 million. Our outlook for net income is a range of $82 million to $86 million, resulting in a net income per diluted share range of $1.26 to $1.32. Our Adjusted EBITDA outlook is a range of $135 million to $140 million. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities, and other certain non-operating items. We also expect our non-GAAP net income to be in a range between $83 million and $87 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%, subtracting the excess tax benefits due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, and adjusting for unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities, net of an estimated statutory tax rate of 24%. Our non-GAAP net income outlook results in a non-GAAP net income per diluted share range between $1.28 to $1.34 (based on an estimated 65 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, June 4, 2019 to discuss the fiscal first quarter 2020 financial results. The conference call will be accessible by dialing 844-791-6252, or 661-378-9636 for international callers, and referencing conference ID 2472868. 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, unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities, 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, subtracting the excess tax benefits due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, and adjusting for unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities, net of an estimated statutory tax rate. 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.
