CHICAGO, Nov. 13, 2025 (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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company navigated a materially different Medicare Advantage environment by intentionally reducing Medicare Advantage volume, conserving liquidity, and preserving the core capabilities required to scale when market conditions stabilize. Based on our analysis, health plans continue to emphasize margin integrity, renewal stability, and long-term member value over raw enrollment growth.

GoHealth anticipated this shift and aligned its operating model accordingly, focusing on:

Disciplined Pullback: Intentionally reduced Medicare Advantage volume in response to announced health plan emphasis on renewal stability, member quality, and unit economics.
Retention-First Strategy: Reinforcing objective guidance—confirming a member's current plan when appropriate—protecting the quality and durability of the member base.
Leadership in Special Needs Plans: Maintaining a leading position in SNP categories where health plans continue to allocate resources.
Preserved Strategic Capabilities: Sustaining the core infrastructure required to lead when conditions stabilize, including agent enablement technology, retention operations, and back-book value.
Strengthened Strategic Flexibility: Secured superpriority term loan facility, received covenant relief, and refreshed the Company's Board of Directors to enable potential integration and consolidation opportunities in a fragmented broker landscape.

"Our pullback over the last two quarters was intentional. The market shifted toward retention, member stability, and disciplined unit economics," said Vijay Kotte, CEO of GoHealth. "We aligned with that shift by focusing on quality over quantity, reinforcing objective guidance to our members, and protecting the capabilities that matter to us: our high-quality member book, our retention and engagement model, our platform efficiency, and our leadership in Special Needs Plans."

"If our assessment of the changing market dynamics proves premature, we believe we have preserved flexibility. But if we had chased projected volume into deteriorating economics, the downside could have been significant and lasting. We believe our discipline protects value in either scenario and positions us to expand and integrate as the market rationalizes."

"Our third-quarter performance reflects disciplined execution in an environment where we see health plans prioritizing margin and stability," said Brendan Shanahan, CFO of GoHealth. "We maintained liquidity, reduced fixed cost, and continued to automate and streamline core parts of the operating model. We believe our balance sheet is stable, our platform remains efficient, and our variable cost structure provides flexibility. We expect to be well-positioned to evaluate and pursue opportunities that create long-term value."

Additional information, including with respect to the Company's preliminary financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, is included in the tables at the end of this press release.

Conference Call Details

The Company will host a conference call today, Thursday, November 13, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. (ET) to discuss prioritization of retention, quality, and strategic flexibility. A live audio webcast of the conference call will be available via GoHealth's Investor Relations website, https://investors.gohealth.com/.

("e-TeleQuote") our ability to successfully integrate e-TeleQuote's operations, technologies and employees into our business, 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, 2024 ("2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K"), our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, the forthcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Throughout this press release, we use a number of non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We define these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

"Adjusted EBITDA" represents, as applicable for the period, EBITDA as further adjusted for certain items summarized in the table furnished below in this press release.
"Adjusted EBITDA Margin" refers to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.
"EBITDA" represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expense.

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 the primary financial performance measure used by management to evaluate the business and monitor the results of operations, as well 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 each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure 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.

Key Business Performance and Operating Metrics

In addition to traditional financial metrics, we rely upon certain business and operating metrics to evaluate our business performance and facilitate our operations. The most relevant business and operating metrics are as follows:

"Direct Operating Cost of Submission" is an operating metric that represents costs directly attributable to Submissions generated during a reporting period and excludes costs that are indirect or fixed. Direct Operating Cost of Submission is comprised of the portion of the respective operating expenses for revenue share, marketing and advertising and consumer care and enrollment that are directly related to the Submissions generated in the reporting period.
"Direct Operating Cost per Submission" is an operating metric that represents the average performance of Submissions generated during a reporting period. Direct Operating Cost per Submission refers to (x) Direct Operating Cost of Submission for a reporting period divided by (y) the number of Submissions generated for such period.
"Sales/Direct Operating Cost of Submission" represents (x) the numerator of Sales per Submission, as defined below, divided by (y) Direct Operating Cost of Submission.
"Sales per Submission" is an operating metric that represents the average performance of Submissions generated during a reporting period. Sales per Submission measures revenues only from the Submissions generated in the period and excludes items that are unrelated to such Submissions, including any impact of revenue adjustments recorded in the period, but relating to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. Sales per Submission equals (x) the sum of (i) Medicare agency revenues, comprised of the expected amount of initial commission revenue and any renewal commissions to be paid from the health plan partners on such placement as long as the policyholder remains with the same insurance product, as well as partner marketing and other revenue, (ii) Medicare non-agency revenues, comprised of the enrollment and engagement services for which cash is collected in advance or in close proximity to the point in time revenue is recognized, and (iii) revenues from GoHealth Protect, divided by (y) the number of Submissions generated for such period.
"Submission" refers to either (i) a completed Medicare application with our licensed agent that is submitted to the health plan partner and subsequently approved by the health plan partner during the indicated period, (ii) a transfer by our agent to the health plan partner through the Encompass operating model during the indicated period, or (iii) a completed GoHealth Protect application with our licensed agent that is submitted, approved by the health plan partner, and for which the payment information was received by the health plan partner during the indicated period.

Direct Operating Cost of Submission, Direct Operating Cost per Submission, Sales/Direct Operating Cost of Submission, Sales per Submission and Submissions are key operating metrics we use to understand our underlying financial performance and trends.

Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we revised the definitions of certain business and operating metrics to reflect our recent expansion into GoHealth Protect. This revised presentation aligns with how we currently manage our operations. We did not revise prior periods' metrics because GoHealth Protect was not significant prior to the second quarter of 2025.
