DRAPER, Utah, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ: HQY) ("HealthEquity" or the "Company"), the nation's largest health savings account non-bank custodian, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2021.

“The team delivered strong results in fiscal 2021, growing revenue by 38% to $734 million and Adjusted EBITDA by 23% to $241 million,” said Jon Kessler, president and CEO of HealthEquity. “Fiscal 2022 is off to a fast start as well, with early client and partner wins as well as the acquisition of Luum, which will help our clients return to work.”

Fiscal year financial results

The comparability of the Company's financial results between years is impacted by its acquisition of WageWorks. As the WageWorks acquisition closed on August 30, 2019, WageWorks' results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations for the entire fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, but are only included in the consolidated results of operations for approximately five months during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.

Revenue for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 of $733.6 million grew 38% compared to $532.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020. Revenue this year included: service revenue of $431.0 million, custodial revenue of $190.9 million, and interchange revenue of $111.7 million.

HealthEquity reported net income of $8.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $126.3 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021. The Company reported net income of $39.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $114.8 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA of $240.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 grew 23% compared to $196.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was 33% of revenue compared to 37% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.

As of January 31, 2021, HealthEquity had $328.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $986.7 million of outstanding debt, net of issuance costs. This compares to $191.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.22 billion of outstanding debt as of January 31, 2020. The cash amount as of January 31, 2021 does not reflect the approximately $456.7 million in net proceeds from the Company's sale of common stock in February and March 2021.

Fourth quarter financial results

Revenue for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2021 of $188.2 million decreased 6% compared to $201.2 million for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2020. Revenue this quarter included: service revenue of $111.3 million, custodial revenue of $48.6 million, and interchange revenue of $28.3 million.

HealthEquity reported net income of $5.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $33.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2021. The Company reported a net loss of $0.2 million, or less than one-half of one cent per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $28.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA was $56.6 million for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2021, a decrease of 8% compared to $61.3 million for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was 30% of revenue, the same as in the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2020.

Account and asset metrics

HSAs as of January 31, 2021 were approximately 5.8 million, an increase of 8% year over year, including 333,000 HSAs with investments, an increase of 51% year over year. Total Accounts as of January 31, 2021 were 12.8 million, including 7.0 million CDBs.

Total HSA Assets as of January 31, 2021 were $14.3 billion, an increase of 24% year over year. Total HSA Assets included $10.1 billion of HSA cash and $4.2 billion of HSA investments. Client-held funds, which are deposits held on behalf of our Clients to facilitate administration of our CDBs, and from which we generate custodial revenue, were $1.0 billion as of January 31, 2021.

New HSA openings and HSA asset balances

HealthEquity reported sales of 687,000 new HSAs during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, compared to 724,000 during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020. HSA members grew their cash balances by approximately $1.4 billion during the year, while total member balances increased by approximately $2.8 billion due primarily to HSA contributions, decreased spending per HSA, and appreciation of invested balances.

WageWorks integration

HealthEquity completed its acquisition of WageWorks on August 30, 2019. The Company has identified opportunities of approximately $80 million in annualized ongoing net synergies to be achieved by the end of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, of which approximately $60 million were achieved as of January 31, 2021.

Business outlook

For the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, management expects revenues of $750 million to $760 million. Its outlook for net loss is between $10 million and $5 million, resulting in net loss of $0.12 to $0.07 per diluted share. Its outlook for non-GAAP net income, calculated using the method described below, is between $115 million and $119 million, resulting in non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $1.37 to $1.42 (based on an estimated 84 million weighted-average shares outstanding). Management expects Adjusted EBITDA of $240 million to $246 million.

See “Non-GAAP financial information” below for definitions of our Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used throughout 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 4:30 pm (Eastern Time) on Monday, March 15, 2021 to discuss the fiscal 2021 fourth quarter and year-end results. The conference call will be accessible by dialing 844-791-6252, or 661-378-9636 for international callers, and referencing conference ID 8874995.

Non-GAAP financial information

To supplement our financial information presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share.

• Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, merger integration expenses, acquisition costs, gains and losses on marketable equity securities, and other certain non-operating items.
• Non-GAAP net income is calculated by adding back to GAAP net income (loss) before income taxes the following items: amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, merger integration expenses, and acquisition costs, and subtracting a non-GAAP tax provision using a normalized non-GAAP 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. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. 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. In addition, while amortization of acquired intangible assets is being excluded from non-GAAP net income, the revenue generated from those acquired intangible assets is not excluded. 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.

(1)  The Company utilizes a normalized non-GAAP tax rate to provide better consistency across the interim reporting periods within a given fiscal year by eliminating the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items, which can vary in size and frequency, and which are not necessarily reflective of the Company’s longer-term operations. The normalized non-GAAP tax rate applied to each period presented was 25%. The Company may adjust its non-GAAP tax rate as additional information becomes available and in conjunction with any other significant events occur that may materially affect this rate, such as merger and acquisition activity, changes in business outlook, or other changes in expectations regarding tax regulations.

(2)  Non-GAAP net income per diluted share may not calculate due to rounding of non-GAAP net income and diluted weighted-average shares.
