Draper, Utah – December 4, 2018 – HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ: HQY) ("HealthEquity" or the "Company"), the nation's largest health savings account ("HSA") non-bank custodian, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended October 31, 2018.
“HealthEquity delivered robust third quarter results, strengthening our momentum going into the important fourth quarter and year end,” said Jon Kessler, President and CEO of HealthEquity. “By adding more than $1.5 billion in additional custodial assets since the end of our third quarter last year, our growth continues well ahead of the market, allowing us to raise guidance for fiscal year 2019. Importantly, with custodial investment assets growing by 53% over the third quarter end last year, we are delivering on our promise to help our HSA members connect health and wealth and put them on the fast track to retirement readiness.”  
Third quarter financial results
For the third quarter ended October 31, 2018, HealthEquity reported revenue of $70.5 million, an increase of 24% compared to $56.8 million for the third quarter ended October 31, 2017. Revenue consisted of:
Service revenue of $25.0 million, an increase of 9% compared to Q3 FY18.
Custodial revenue of $31.6 million, an increase of 43% compared to Q3 FY18.
Interchange revenue of $13.9 million, an increase of 18% compared to Q3 FY18.
Net income was $15.7 million for the third quarter ended October 31, 2018, compared to $10.5 million for the third quarter ended October 31, 2017.
Net income per diluted share was $0.25 for the third quarter ended October 31, 2018, compared to $0.17 for the third quarter ended October 31, 2017.
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.28 for the third quarter ended October 31, 2018, compared to $0.17 for the third quarter ended October 31, 2017.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $29.7 million for the third quarter ended October 31, 2018, an increase of 40% compared to $21.2 million for the third quarter ended October 31, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA was 42% of revenue for the third quarter ended October 31, 2018, compared to 37% for the third quarter ended October 31, 2017.
As of October 31, 2018, we had $330.3 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 October 31, 2018 was 3.7 million, an increase of 22% from 3.0 million as of October 31, 2017. Total Active HSA Members as of October 31, 2018 was 3.0 million, an increase of 17% from 2.5 million as of October 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 October 31, 2018 was $7.1 billion, an increase of 27% year over year, consisting of:
Custodial Cash Assets of $5.6 billion, an increase of 22% compared to October 31, 2017; and
Custodial Investment Assets of $1.5 billion, an increase of 53% compared to October 31, 2017.




Business outlook
We have increased our outlook for the year ending January 31, 2019. We expect our revenue to be between $281 million and $285 million. Our outlook for net income is a range of $66 million to $70 million, resulting in a net income per diluted share range of $1.03 to $1.09. Our Adjusted EBITDA outlook is a range of $110 million to $114 million. We also expect our non-GAAP net income to be in a range between $68 million and $72 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 $1.06 to $1.13 (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.
Executive appointment
HealthEquity also announced the appointment of Larry Trittschuh as Executive Vice President and Chief Security Officer (CSO).
“As CSO, Larry will have oversight of information security, privacy, fraud prevention, incident response and physical security,” said Mr. Kessler. “He will implement our vision of HealthEquity as a leader in data protection and privacy and will be a catalyst for progress in these areas throughout our client and partner ecosystems and the broader industry.”
Mr. Trittschuh will join HealthEquity from his current position as CSO for Barclays Americas. Mr. Trittschuh was Senior Vice President, Information Security for Synchrony Financial prior to joining Barclays, and was Executive Director, Threat Management / Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for General Electric prior to that. Mr. Trittschuh has more than 25 years of experience including service in the USAF. Mr. Trittschuh holds a Bachelor of Science from the USAF Academy.
Conference call
HealthEquity management will host a conference call at 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, December 4, 2018 to discuss the fiscal third quarter 2019 financial results. The conference call will be accessible by dialing 844-791-6252, or 661-378-9636 for international callers, and referencing conference ID 6682979. 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.
