  • Internal captive agents showed increased Submissions year-over-year
  • Company anticipates growth in Submission volume, revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA for H2 2024

Insights

GoHealth's Q2 2024 results paint a mixed picture. The 25.8% YoY decrease in net revenues to $105.9 million is concerning, primarily driven by a 6% decline in Submissions. The company's net loss improved by $10.9 million, but still stands at a substantial $59.3 million. The shift from positive to negative Adjusted EBITDA (-$12.3 million) is particularly worrying.

However, there are some positive signs. The increase in Submissions from internal captive agents demonstrates the effectiveness of GoHealth's proprietary Encompass workflow and PlanFit CheckUp process. The company's focus on AI and automation could potentially improve operational efficiency and reduce customer acquisition costs in the long term.

Investors should closely monitor the upcoming Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) performance, as it will be important for GoHealth's 2024 outlook. The company's ability to leverage its technological advancements to drive growth and improve profitability will be key factors to watch.

GoHealth's investment in AI and automation is a strategic move that could set them apart in the competitive health insurance marketplace. Their focus on leveraging machine and deep learning models atop sophisticated data platforms has the potential to significantly enhance agent efficiency and provide more precise, data-driven insights.

The company's proprietary Encompass workflow and PlanFit CheckUp process have already shown positive results, as evidenced by the increase in Submissions from internal captive agents. The integration of AI into these systems could further streamline processes and provide dynamic personalization, potentially leading to improved customer experiences and reduced acquisition costs.

However, the true test of these technological advancements will come during the upcoming AEP. If successful, GoHealth could solidify its position as an industry leader in customer acquisition efficiency. Investors should keep an eye on how effectively the company implements and scales these technologies in the coming months.

CHICAGO, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GoHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOCO) (“GoHealth” or the “Company”), a leading health insurance marketplace and Medicare-focused digital health company, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Second quarter 2024 net revenues of $105.9 million, a $36.9 million decrease compared to $142.8 million in the prior year period.
  • Second quarter 2024 Submissions of 152,394, a 6% decrease compared to 162,837 Submissions in the prior year period, driven by an increase in Submissions generated by GoHealth’s internal captive agents offset by a decrease in Submissions generated by our external GoPartner Solutions agents.
  • Second quarter 2024 net loss of $59.3 million, an improvement of $10.9 million compared to a net loss of $70.2 million in the prior year period.
  • Second quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of negative $12.3 million, a decrease of $13.1 million compared to positive $0.8 million in the prior year period.
  • Second quarter 2024 trailing twelve months (“TTM”) positive cash flow from operations was $53.8 million, a decrease of $32.1 million compared to TTM positive cash flow from operations of $85.9 million in the prior year period.

“We experienced a decline in net revenues to $105.9 million due to a 6% decrease in total Submissions. Submissions generated by our internal captive agents increased year-over-year, offset by a decline in Submissions generated by our external GoPartner Solutions, or GPS, agents,” said Vijay Kotte, CEO of GoHealth. “We are particularly pleased with the performance of our internal captive agents despite unchanged shopping and switching dynamics since last year's annual enrollment period (“AEP”). We anticipated year-over-year declines from Q1 through Q3, but our team has managed these expected dynamics by driving efficiencies. These results highlight the benefits of our proprietary Encompass workflow and PlanFit CheckUp process. GoHealth plays a critical role in helping Medicare eligible consumers navigate plan options every year. As we gear up for AEP in just 67 days, GoHealth is intensifying targeted marketing efforts to better identify and reach consumers in need of PlanFit CheckUp’s.”

“We also remain committed to leveraging our strengths and strategic initiatives to drive future growth,” continued Kotte. “GoHealth continues to advance our technology to ensure a seamless experience for agents and consumers. We believe that our advancements in artificial intelligence (“AI”) and automation are setting a new industry standard. Our proprietary technology leverages machine and deep learning models atop our sophisticated data platforms, enabling us to deliver more precise, data-driven insights and significantly enhance agent efficiency. We expect these innovations to streamline processes, provide dynamic personalization in our workflows, and improve our overall operational efficiency. By integrating AI and automation into our operations, we intend to not only enhance the consumer experience but also solidify our position as an industry leader in customer acquisition costs, represented by our Direct Cost of Submission.(2) With our consumer orientation and technology enablement, we are looking forward to continuing to support consumers during what we currently believe will be a dynamic AEP,” continued Kotte.

“We expect various factors to influence the second half of the year and we remain confident in our performance expectations for 2024. We anticipate growth in Submission volume, revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA," said Katie O’Halloran, Interim CFO of GoHealth. "We believe our mix of agency versus non-agency agreements will be a key driver of our cash flow from operations performance. With our continued strategic focus and disciplined execution, we are committed to achieving our goals and delivering long-term value."

These forward-looking statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release may be forward-looking statements. Statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding our expected growth, future capital expenditures, debt service obligations and adoption and use of artificial intelligence technologies are forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “aims,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “likely,” “future” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this press release are only predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the factors described in the sections titled “Summary Risk Factors,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The factors described in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this press release, as well as the cautionary statements and other risk factors set forth in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, the forthcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

You should read this press release and the documents that we reference in this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release we use supplemental measures of our performance that are derived from our consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization expense, or EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary financial performance measure used by management to evaluate the business and monitor the results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents, as applicable for the period, EBITDA as further adjusted for certain items summarized in the table furnished below. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a basis for certain compensation programs sponsored by the Company. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. For example, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables furnished below in this press release. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items and may include other expenses, costs and non-routine items.

Use of Key Performance Indicators

In addition to traditional financial metrics, we rely upon certain business and operating metrics to evaluate our business performance and facilitate our operations. Sales per Submission, Direct Cost of Submission, Direct Cost per Submission and Adjusted Direct Operating Margin per Submission, as well as Submissions, are key operating metrics used by management to understand the Company’s underlying financial performance and trends. Sales per Submission represents Medicare Revenue per Submission as further adjusted for certain items summarized in the table furnished below in this press release. Direct Cost per Submission represents Operating Expense per Submission as further adjusted for certain items summarized in the table furnished below in this press release. Adjusted Direct Operating Margin per Submission represents Sales per Submission less Direct Cost per Submission. Management uses these metrics to measure the performance of the Submissions generated in a reporting period by reviewing and presenting average performance on a per Submission basis over time. Submissions represent completed applications with our licensed agents and transfers by our agents to the health plan partners as further described below.
