we continue to enhance consumer trust and set a new standard for
industry practices, said Vijay Kotte, CEO of GoHealth. “Our
approach underscores our mission to transform the consumer
healthcare journey, ensuring every action we take is aligned with

About GoHealth, Inc.:
GoHealth is a leading health insurance marketplace
and Medicare-focused digital health company whose purpose is to
compassionately ensure consumers’ peace of mind when making
healthcare decisions so they can focus on living life. For many of
these consumers, enrolling in a health insurance plan is confusing
and difficult, and seemingly small differences between health plans
may lead to significant out-of-pocket costs or lack of access to
critical providers and medicines. GoHealth’s proprietary technology
platform leverages modern machine-learning algorithms, powered by
over two decades of insurance purchasing behavior, to reimagine the
process of matching a health plan to a consumer’s specific needs.
Its unbiased, technology-driven marketplace coupled with highly
skilled licensed agents has facilitated the enrollment of millions
of consumers in Medicare plans since GoHealth’s inception. For more

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. 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 and debt service obligations are
forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terms, such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “aim,”
“expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,”
“projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,”
“potential,” “likely,” “strive”, “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,
but not limited to the following: the marketing and sale of
Medicare plans are subject to numerous, complex and frequently
changing laws, regulations and guidelines; our operating results
have been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted by factors
that impact our estimate of LTV (as defined below); our gradual
expansion of the Encompass Solution may not be as successful as we
expect; our business may be harmed if we lose our relationships
with health plan partners or if our relationships with health plan
partners change; health plan partners may reduce the commissions
paid to us and change their underwriting practices in ways that
reduce the number of, or impact the renewal or approval rates of,
insurance policies sold through our platform; we currently depend
on a small group of health plan partners for a substantial portion
of our revenue and losing our relationships with any of these
health plan partners may disproportionately impact our financial
position and performance; changes and developments in the health
insurance system and laws and regulations governing the health
insurance markets in the United States could materially adversely
affect our business, operating results, financial condition and
qualified prospects; we rely on certain services from the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and a federal government
shutdown that impedes our ability to use these services may
materially impact our business; information technology system
failures could interrupt our operations; volatility in general
economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates, and
commodity prices and exchange rates may impact our financial
position and performance; we may lose key employees or fail to
attract qualified employees; our failure to grow our customer base
or retain our existing customers; we may not realize the benefits
we expect from our strategic cash flow optimization and other cash
management initiatives; our ability to sell Medicare-related health
insurance plans is largely dependent on our licensed health
insurance agents; operating and growing our business may require
additional capital; and the Founders and Centerbridge have
significant influence over us, including control over decisions
that require the approval of stockholders.
The foregoing factors 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
Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023,
the forthcoming 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other SEC
filings. If one or more events related to these or other risks or
uncertainties materialize, or our underlying assumptions prove to
be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we
anticipate. Many of the important factors that will determine these
results are beyond our ability to control or predict. Accordingly,
you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the
date on which it is made, and, except as otherwise required by law,
we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to
time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. In
addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key
Performance Indicators
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 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; Adjusted EBITDA
margin; Sales per Submission; Cost per Submission and Adjusted
Gross Margin per Submission. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary
financial performance measure used by management to evaluate the
business and monitor its results of operations. Sales per
Submission, Cost per Submission and Adjusted Gross Margin per
Submission are key operating metrics used by management to
understand the Company’s underlying financial performance and
trends.
Additional non-GAAP financial measures, including
net revenue excluding the Lookback Adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA
excluding the Lookback Adjustments, net revenue excluding both the
Non-Encompass BPO Services revenue and the Lookback Adjustments and
Adjusted EBITDA excluding both the Non-Encompass BPO Services gross
margin and the Lookback Adjustments, are also discussed in this
press release. The Lookback Adjustments are revenue adjustments
that represent changes in estimates relating to performance
obligations satisfied in prior periods and relate to the fiscal
years 2021 and prior.
Adjusted EBITDA represents, as applicable for the
period, EBITDA as further adjusted for certain items summarized
below in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents
Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. Sales per Submission
represents Medicare Revenue per Submission as further adjusted for
certain items summarized below in this press release. Cost per
Submission represents Operating Expense per Submission as further
adjusted for certain items summarized below in this press release.
Adjusted Gross Margin represents Sales per Submission less Cost per
Submission.
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 measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with
financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of
each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net revenue excluding the Lookback
Adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA excluding the Lookback Adjustments,
net revenue excluding both the Non-Encompass BPO Services revenue
and the Lookback Adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA excluding both the
Non-Encompass BPO Services gross margin and the Lookback
Adjustments, Sales per Submission, Cost per Submission and Adjusted
Gross Margin per Submission to its most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure, are presented in the tables 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 include other expenses, costs and
non-recurring items.
The Company is unable to provide a full
reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable
effort because it is not possible to predict certain adjustment
items with a reasonable degree of certainty since they are not yet
known or quantifiable, and do not relate to the Company’s routine
activities. This information is dependent upon future events, which
may be outside of the Company’s control and could have a
significant impact on its GAAP financial results for fiscal year
2023.
