Non-GAAP Financial Information This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). To supplement eHealth's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, eHealth presents investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP operating margins; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share.


 
--  Non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income excluding
    the following items:
    --  an asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012,
    --  the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock
        options and restricted stock units in accordance with FASB ASC
        Topic 718, and
    --  intangible asset amortization expense.
        
        
--  Non-GAAP operating margins are calculated by dividing non-GAAP
    operating income by GAAP total revenue.
    
    
--  EBITDA is calculated by adding stock-based compensation, depreciation
    and amortization expense, including intangible asset amortization
    expense, other (income) expense, net and provision for income taxes to
    GAAP net income.
    
    
--  Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income excluding the
    following items:
    --  an asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012,
    --  the effects of expensing stock-based compensation related to stock
        options and restricted stock units in accordance with FASB ASC
        Topic 718,
    --  intangible asset amortization expense, and
    --  the related income tax benefits of these excluded expenses.
        
--  Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is calculated by dividing
    non-GAAP net income by GAAP weighted average diluted shares
    outstanding.

eHealth believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with the Company's past financial reports. Management also believes that the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of the Company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of the Company's core operating performance against prior periods and business model objectives. This information is provided to investors in order to facilitate additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations. Externally, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in their assessment of the Company's operating performance.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the revenue and costs associated with the operations of the Company's business and do not reflect income tax as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of eHealth's results as reported under GAAP. The Company expects to continue to incur the stock-based compensation costs and purchased intangible asset amortization costs described above, and exclusion of these costs, and their related income tax benefits, from non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. The Company compensates for these limitations by prominently disclosing GAAP operating income, GAAP operating margins, GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share and providing investors with reconciliations from the Company's GAAP operating results to the non-GAAP financial measures for the relevant periods.

The accompanying tables provide more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

(1)  Net cash provided by operating activities for the period from the      
     condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.                       
(2)  IFP applications submitted on eHealth's website during the period.     
     Applications are counted as submitted when the applicant completes the 
     application, provides a method for payment and clicks the submit button
     on our website and submits the application to us. The applicant        
     generally has additional actions to take before the application will be
     reviewed by the insurance carrier, such as providing additional        
     information and providing an electronic signature. In addition, an     
     applicant may submit more than one application. We include applications
     for IFP products for which we receive commissions as well as other     
     forms of payment. We define our "IFP" offerings as major medical       
     individual and family health insurance plans, which does not include   
     small business, short-term major medical, stand-alone dental, life,    
     student or Medicare-related health insurance plans.                    
(3)  New IFP members reported to eHealth as approved during the period. Some
     members that are approved by a carrier do not accept the approval and  
     therefore do not become paying members.                                
(4)  New members for all products reported to eHealth as approved during the
     period. Some members that are approved by a carrier do not accept the  
     approval and therefore do not become paying members.                   
(5)  Commission revenue (from all sources) recognized during the period from
     the condensed consolidated statements of income.                       
(6)  Calculated as commission revenue recognized during the period (see note
     (5) above) divided by average estimated membership for the period      
     (calculated as beginning and ending estimated membership for all       
     products for the period, divided by two). See our Form 10-K for the
