Bancorp HSA portfolio acquisition

On October 23rd we announced the acquisition of The Bancorp's HSA portfolio. We purchased approximately 160,000 accounts totaling approximately $390.0 million in cash AUM deposits. The adjusted purchase price of $33.8 million was funded by current cash balances.

Business outlook

For the year ended January 31, 2016, we expect our revenue to be between $124.0 million and $126.0 million and our Adjusted EBITDA to be between $37.0 million and $39.0 million. We expect our pro forma non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be between $0.30 and $0.32 per share. Our pro forma non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is based on an estimated 59 million weighted-average shares outstanding, and is calculated by adding back to net income all non-cash stock compensation expense, net of tax. We expect total stock compensation expense, net of tax, for the year ended January 31, 2016 to be between $3.5 million and $4.0 million. The business outlook for the year ended January 31, 2016 assumes a projected effective tax rate of approximately 37%.

A live webcast of the conference call will also be available on the investor relations section of the company's website at www.HealthEquity.com.

Non-GAAP financial information

To supplement our financial information presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, pro forma non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, and non-GAAP operating margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and other certain non-operating items. We define pro forma non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as net income per diluted share, calculated by adding back to net income non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, and to give effect to the conversion of all our outstanding convertible preferred stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock into common stock, which occurred on August 4, 2014 in connection with our initial public offering, as if such conversion occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year. Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated by excluding from gross profit stock-based compensation expense attributable to cost of services. Non-GAAP gross margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP gross profit by revenues. Non-GAAP income from operations is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense from operating income. Non-GAAP operating margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income by revenues.

These 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 traditional accounting conventions; 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 measures as detailed in the tables below.
