NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business—SelectQuote, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “SelectQuote”) contract with numerous insurance carriers to sell senior health (“Senior”), life (“Life”), and auto and home insurance (“Auto & Home”) policies by telephone to individuals throughout the United States through the use of multi-channel marketing and advertising campaigns. Senior sells Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Part D, and other ancillary senior health insurance related policies. Life sells term and permanent life insurance policies (together referred to as "core") and final expense policies, along with other ancillary products. Auto & Home primarily sells non-commercial auto & home property and casualty insurance policies. SelectQuote’s licensed insurance agents provide comparative rates from a variety of insurance carriers relying on our technology distribution channel with a combination of proprietary and commercially available software to perform its quote service and sell insurance policies on behalf of the insurance carriers. The Company earns revenue in the form of commission payments from the insurance carriers. Commission payments are received both when the initial policy is sold (“first year”) and when the underlying policyholder renews their policy in subsequent years (“renewal”). Additionally, the Company receives certain volume-based bonuses from some carriers on first-year policies sold, which are referred to as production bonuses and marketing development funds, based on attaining various predetermined target sales levels or other agreed upon objectives.

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SelectQuote, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries: SelectQuote Insurance Services, SelectQuote Auto & Home Insurance Services, LLC (“SQAH”), ChoiceMark Insurance Services, Inc., Tiburon Insurance Services, and InsideResponse, LLC ("InsideResponse"). The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position for the periods presented, the results of which are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period, including for the year ending June 30, 2021, and therefore should not be relied upon as an indicator of future results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020. Results of operations were not materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Company is continuously assessing the evolving situation related to the pandemic.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The most significant items involving management’s estimates include estimates of revenue recognition, commissions receivable, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation expense, and the provision for income taxes. The impact of changes in estimates is recorded in the period in which they become known.

Seasonality—Medicare-eligible individuals are permitted to change their Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage for the following year during the Medicare annual enrollment period (“AEP”) in October through December and are allowed to switch plans from an existing plan during the open

Table of Contents

enrollment period (“OEP”) in January through March each year. As a result, the Company’s Senior segment’s commission revenue is highest in the second quarter during AEP and to a lesser extent, the third quarter during OEP.

Significant Accounting Policies—With the exception of the adoption of recent accounting pronouncements, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which has been clarified and amended by various subsequent updates. The core principle of this standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases, by recognizing in the condensed consolidated balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In accordance with the guidance of Topic 842, leases are classified as finance or operating leases, and both types of leases are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous guidance. The new guidance requires certain expanded qualitative disclosures and specific quantitative disclosures in order to provide users of financial statements enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities.

Although the effective date of this ASU has been deferred for emerging growth companies until annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, the Company has early adopted the new guidance and related amendments on July 1, 2020, and has elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the carry forward of historical assessments of whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs. The new guidance and related amendments have been applied on a modified retrospective basis using the optional transition method with an application date of July 1, 2020.

As a result of adopting this standard, on July 1, 2020, the Company recorded lease liabilities of $41.3 million and right-of-use assets of $29.7 million, which includes reclassifications of existing assets and liabilities primarily related to deferred rent. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income or the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company has included expanded disclosures on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” This ASU amends the subsequent measurement of goodwill whereby Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test is eliminated. As a result, an entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The standard was adopted and applied prospectively by the Company as of July 1, 2020, but it did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the guidance for accounting for assets that are potentially subject to credit risk. The amendment affects contract assets, loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. As an emerging growth company, the standard is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal years starting after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not expect this ASU to have a material impact.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies and changes the accounting for certain income tax transactions, among other minor improvements. This standard becomes effective for the Company on July 1, 2022, and for interim periods beginning July 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the

impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not expect this ASU to have a material impact.

2.ACQUISITIONS

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the Company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Any excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired is supported by valuations using estimates and assumptions provided by management. Based on the valuation inputs, the Company has recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed according the following fair value hierarchy:


Level 1			Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2			Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3			Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

InsideResponse, LLC—On May 1, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of InsideResponse for an aggregate purchase price of up to $65.0 million (subject to customary adjustments), as set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on May 1, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”). The purchase price is comprised of $32.7 million, which was paid in cash at the closing of the transaction and an earnout of up to $32.3 million. InsideResponse is an online marketing consulting firm the Company purchases leads from (refer to Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for related party information).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, total consideration in the acquisition consisted of the following as of the acquisition date:


(in thousands)
Base purchase price	$	32,700
Fair value of earnout	30,437
Net working capital true-up(1)	3,527
Closing cash	904
Closing indebtedness	(476)
Total purchase consideration	$	67,092

(1) The Company recorded a $0.1 million measurement period adjustment to the carrying amount of goodwill related to the net working capital true-up for the six months ended December 31, 2020.

The earnout will be paid in cash no later than 15 days after the accountant-reviewed stand-alone financial statements of InsideResponse, as of and for the period ending December 31, 2020, are finalized. The earnout is contingent upon the achievement of certain gross profit targets for InsideResponse in calendar year 2020, as set forth in the Merger Agreement, which provides for a range of possible payouts of up to $32.3 million. This assumes the minimum gross profit target of $12.3 million is reached, as otherwise there will be no consideration payout. As of the acquisition date, May 1, 2020, the fair value of the earnout liability was $30.4 million recorded as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Per the valuation, the earnout was discounted back to the valuation date at a counterparty risk adjusted rate of 5.00% which is designed to represent the Company’s incremental borrowing cost. As of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that InsideResponse had achieved the maximum gross profit target for calendar year 2020; therefore, the maximum fair market value of the earnout has been accrued. As a result, the Company recorded $0.4 million and $1.2 million in other expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an adjustment to the fair market value of the earnout

liability during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Furthermore, each period until the February 2021 payout, the Company will accrete the earnout liability so that the fully expected earnout will be accrued as of the payout date. Changes in this measure have been recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as a noncash reconciling item in the reconciliation of net income to net cash flows from operating activities.

At the date of acquisition, the fair value of net tangible assets acquired approximated their carrying value. The trade name acquired was determined using the relief from royalty method, which measures the value by estimating the cost savings associated with owning the asset rather than licensing it. For the proprietary software acquired, the replacement cost method under the cost approach was used, estimating the cost to rebuild the software. The non-compete agreements were valued using the income approach, and the customer relationships were valued using the multiple period excess earnings method. As such, all aforementioned intangible assets were valued using Level 3 inputs. Further, the Company believes that the fair value of the earn-out liability falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as a result of the unobservable inputs used for the measurement.

Goodwill resulting from the transaction represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and primarily represents the expected synergies in streamlining the Company's marketing and advertising process by consolidating a primary vendor into its marketing team, providing full access to a rapidly growing and scalable lead generation strategy, guaranteeing our ability to consume more leads and reducing cost. This acquired goodwill is allocated to the Senior segment and approximately $5.0 million is deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):


Description	Estimated Life	Amount
Cash and cash equivalents		$	955

5.INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Intangible assets—The Company's intangible assets include those acquired as part of the acquisition of the controlling interest in Auto & Home in August 2012 as well as from the May 2020 acquisition of InsideResponse. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate

Table of Contents

that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no such indicators.

Goodwill—In August 2012, the Company acquired the remaining interest in Auto & Home and recorded goodwill as the excess of the total consideration transferred plus the acquisition-date fair value of the previously held equity interest over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Further, in May 2020, the Company recorded as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired from InsideResponse. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Goodwill is assigned to reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination as of the acquisition date and becomes identified with that reporting unit in its entirety. As such the reporting unit as a whole supports the recovery of its goodwill. For the aforementioned acquisitions, the reporting units are Auto & Home and Senior, respectively.

6.DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against the interest rate risk associated with its variable rate debt as a result of the Company's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates associated with a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million with a syndicate of lenders led by Morgan Stanley as the administrator for the lending group (the “Term Loan”). To accomplish this hedging strategy, the Company enters into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges that are designed to be highly correlated to the underlying terms of the debt instruments to which their forecasted, variable interest rate payments are tied. To qualify for hedge accounting, the Company documents and assesses effectiveness at inception and in subsequent reporting periods. The fair value of interest rate swaps are recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as an asset or liability with the related gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings as an offset to interest expense in the same period that the hedged items affect earnings. The Company does not engage in the use of derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

We entered into a USD floored interest rate swap agreement on May 12, 2020, with an effective date of May 29, 2020, wherein the Company has exchanged a floating rate of interest of LIBOR (subject to a 1% floor) plus 6.00% on the notional amount of $325.0 million of the Company’s $425.0 million Term Loan (currently recorded in long term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets) for a fixed rate payment of 6.00% plus 1.188%. The derivative hedges the entire notional amount of $325 million priced at USD-LIBOR-BBA 1-month, and the interest rate swap terminates on November 5, 2024.

The interest rate swap qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting as it was determined to be highly effective at inception and it continued to remain effective as of December 31, 2020. The Company did not record any ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swap.

In addition, the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swap fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they primarily include other than quoted prices that are observable.

Table of Contents

Further this valuation uses standard calculations and models that use readily observable market data as their basis. As a result, the Company classifies its interest rate swap in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

7.LEASES

The Company has entered into various lease agreements for office space and other equipment as lessee. At contract inception, the Company determines that a contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If a contract contains a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement. The Company has elected a practical expedient to make an accounting policy not to record short-term leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not contain purchase options that the lessee is reasonably certain to elect.

Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term as the Company has control over an economic resource and is benefiting from the use of the asset. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments for that right of use. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are determined by recognizing the present value of future lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis based upon information available at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is measured at the commencement date by totaling the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, adding any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, subtracting any lease incentives received, and adding any initial direct costs incurred by the Company.

When lease terms include renewal or termination options, the Company determines the lease term as the noncancelable period of the lease, plus periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. The Company considers an option to be reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company when a significant economic incentive exists.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and nonlease components. The Company elected the practical expedient to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and its associated nonlease components as a single lease component. The Company has applied this accounting policy election to all asset classes.

The majority of the Company’s leases are operating leases related to office space. The Company leases office facilities in the United States in San Francisco, California; San Diego, California; Centennial, Colorado; Jacksonville, Florida; Overland Park, Kansas; Wilmington, North Carolina; and Des Moines, Iowa under noncancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through July 2029. The Company recognizes lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. The Company has operating leases with remaining lease terms of less than one year to nine years.

The Company has entered into noncancelable agreements to sublease portions of its office facilities to unrelated third parties. Sublease rental income is recorded as a reduction of rent expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Sublease rental income was $0.2 million for each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2020.

Operating lease expense was $2.0 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, recorded in general and administrative operating costs and expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has entered into an additional lease for office space that has not yet commenced with undiscounted future payment obligations of approximately $2.8 million. The lease is expected to commence in calendar year 2021.

On November 5, 2019, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with UMB Bank N.A. (“UMB”) as a lender and revolving agent and Morgan Stanley Capital Administrators, Inc. (“Morgan Stanley”) as a lender and the administrative agent for a syndicate of lenders party to the agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for (1) a secured revolving loan facility with UMB in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (2) the Term Loan. The outstanding balance under the prior credit agreement with UMB was rolled into the Revolving Credit Facility and will continue to be used for general working capital purposes as needed. The proceeds of the Term Loan were used (i) to finance a distribution in November 2019 to all holders of the Company’s common and preferred stock as well as holders of stock options in an aggregate amount of $275.0 million (the “Distribution”), (ii) to fund cash to the balance sheet in an aggregate amount of $68.0 million, equal to the first two years of interest-only payments due in respect of the Term Loan, (iii) to pay the debt issuance costs incurred for the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and (iv) for general corporate purposes. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default and an asset coverage ratio covenant. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants. The Company has granted a security interest in all of the Company’s assets as collateral.

The Company paid $8.5 million to the lenders of the Term Loan as an original issue discount which was recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the Term Loan in debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. The debt discount is being amortized through interest expense on a straight-line basis over the five-year life of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2020, the balance of the unamortized debt discount in debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $6.5 million.

The Revolving Credit Facility accrues interest on amounts drawn at a rate per annum equal to either (a) LIBOR plus 4.0% or (b) a base rate plus 3.0%, at the Company’s option. The Term Loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to either (a) LIBOR plus 6.0% or (b) a base rate plus 5.0%, at the Company’s option. The Company’s risk management strategy includes entering into interest rate swap agreements from time to time to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating to forecasted debt transactions. Refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

The Term Loan is repayable beginning from March 31, 2022, in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan, with the balance payable on the maturity date of November 5, 2024. Upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering on May 26, 2020 (the "IPO"), the Company paid down $100.0 million of the Term Loan.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal amounts under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company is required to pay UMB an unused commitment fee of 0.15%, in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a maturity date of November 5, 2024.

Amortization of debt financing costs was $0.8 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.6 million and $0.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which was included in interest expense, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Stock Options—The fair value of each option (for purposes of calculation of share-based compensation) was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula that uses assumptions determined at the date of grant. Use of this option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them ("expected term"), the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term ("volatility"), the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements ("forfeitures"), the risk-free interest rate that reflects the interest rate at grant date on zero-coupon United States governmental bonds that have a remaining life similar to the expected term ("risk-free interest rate"), and the dividend yield assumption which is based on the Company's dividend payment history and management's expectations of future dividend payments ("dividend yield"). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the fair value of share-based compensation and, consequently, the related amount recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions for the stock options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2020. There were no stock options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2019.

Contract Balances—After a policy is sold, the Company has no material additional or recurring obligations to the policyholder or the insurance carrier. As such, there are no contract liabilities recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As there is no activity in the contract asset balances other than the movement over time between long-term and short-term commissions receivable and accounts receivable as the policy is renewed, a separate roll forward other than what is shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets is not relevant. Cumulative revenue catch-up adjustments related to changes in the estimates of transaction prices were not material for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Table of Contents

Production Bonuses and Other—During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company received advance payments of fiscal year 2021 marketing development funds, which will be amortized over the course of the year based on policies sold. As of December 31, 2020, there was an unamortized balance remaining of $17.3 million recorded in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

12.INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized income tax expense of $26.5 million and $12.2 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 22.7% and 23.8%, respectively. The differences from the Company’s federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2020, were related to state income taxes, partially offset by state tax credits such as the Kansas High Performance Incentive Program (“HPIP”) and discrete items for the period, primarily from the exercise of non-qualified stock options. The differences from the Company’s federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2019, were primarily related to state income taxes, partially offset by state tax credits such as HPIP.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized income tax expense of $25.4 million and $11.7 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 21.8% and 23.9%, respectively. The differences from the Company’s federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2020, were related to state income taxes, partially offset by state tax credits such as HPIP and discrete items for the period, primarily from the exercise of non-qualified stock options. The differences from the Company’s federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2019, were primarily related to state income taxes, partially offset by state tax credits such as HPIP.

Assessing the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon several factors, including the likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income in relevant jurisdictions during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company forecasts taxable income by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including historical data and future plans and estimates. These assumptions require significant judgment about future taxable income. As a result, the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income change. The Company continues to recognize its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020, as it believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company recognizes a significant deferred tax liability due to the timing of recognizing revenue when a policy is sold, while revenue recognition for tax purposes is not recognized until future renewal commission payments are received. This deferred tax liability is a source of income that can be used to support the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. As such, the Company does not believe a valuation allowance is necessary as of December 31, 2020, and will continue to evaluate in the future as circumstances may change.

13.NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company calculates net income per share as defined by ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net income per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average common stock outstanding during the respective period. Net income attributable to common shareholders is computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock from net income. Diluted net income per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common and common equivalent shareholders by the total of the weighted-average common stock outstanding and common equivalent shares outstanding during the respective period. For the purpose of calculating the Company’s Diluted EPS, common equivalent shares outstanding include the conversion of the preferred stock on an 8:1 ratio, as the rights and privileges dictate as such, common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding employee stock options, and common shares issuable upon the conclusion of each ESPP offering period. The number of common equivalent shares outstanding has been determined in accordance with the if-converted method for the preferred stock and the treasury stock method for employee stock options and common stock issuable pursuant to the ESPP to the extent they are dilutive. Under the

treasury stock method, the exercise price paid by the option holder and future share-based compensation expense that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares. The following table sets forth the computation of net income (loss) per share for the periods presented:

14.SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s reportable segments have been determined in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). The Company currently has three reportable segments: i) Senior, ii) Life, and iii) Auto & Home, which represent the three main types of insurance products sold by the Company. The Senior segment primarily sells senior Medicare-related health insurance, the Life segment primarily sells term life insurance and final expense policies, and the Auto & Home segment primarily sells individual automobile and homeowners’ insurance. In addition, the Company accounts for non-operating activity, share-based compensation expense, certain intersegment eliminations, and the costs of providing corporate and other administrative services in its administrative division, Corporate & Eliminations. These services are not directly identifiable with the Company’s reportable segments and are shown in the tables below to reconcile the reportable segments to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not aggregated any operating segments together to represent a reportable segment.

The Company reports segment information based on how its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews its operating results, allocates resources, and makes decisions regarding business operations. The performance measures of the segments include total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to other entities that operate in the same industries.

Costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, and technical development operating expenses that are directly attributable to a segment are reported within the applicable segment. Indirect costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, and technical development operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on varying metrics such as headcount. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as total revenue for the applicable segment less direct and allocated costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, technical development, and general and administrative operating costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense; gain or loss on disposal of property, equipment, and software; share-based compensation expense; restructuring expenses; and non-recurring expenses such as severance payments and transaction costs. Our CODM does not separately evaluate assets by segment; therefore, assets by segment are not presented.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results. Please refer to a discussion of the Company’s forward-looking statements and associated risks in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Form 10-K.

Company Overview

COVID-19. While the ongoing pandemic has caused disruptions to the economy both domestically and globally, including limitations on various businesses and activities that could have an indirect effect on our business, travel restrictions, and the extended shutdown of certain industries in various countries, due to the nature of our products and technology-enabled business model, these disruptions have not had a material adverse impact on our business on a consolidated basis. We will continue to evaluate the potential impacts and closely monitor developments as they arise.

Our Business. We are a leading technology-enabled, direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) distribution platform that provides consumers with a transparent and convenient venue to shop for complex senior health, life, and auto & home insurance policies from a curated panel of the nation’s leading insurance carriers. As an insurance distributor, we do not insure the consumer, but rather identify consumers looking to acquire insurance products and place these consumers with insurance carrier partners that provide these products and, in return, earn commissions from our insurance carrier partners for the policies we sell on their behalf. Because we are not the issuer of the insurance policy to the consumer, we bear no underwriting risks. Our proprietary technology allows us to take a broad funnel approach to marketing by analyzing and identifying high quality consumer leads sourced from a wide variety of online and offline marketing channels. Our primary sources of leads include search engine marketing, radio, television, and third-party marketing partners. We monitor our acquisition costs to dynamically allocate our marketing spend to the most attractive channel, benefiting from over thirty years of data accumulated through our proprietary, purpose-built technologies. Our advanced workflow processing system scores each acquired lead in real-time, matching it with an agent whom we determine is best suited to meet the consumer’s need. Our platform then captures and utilizes our experience to further build upon the millions of data points that feed our marketing algorithms, which further enhances our ability to deploy subsequent marketing dollars efficiently and target more high-quality consumer leads. We have built our business model to maximize commissions collected over the life of an approved policy less the cost of acquiring the business, a metric we refer to as policyholder lifetime value and which is a key component to our overall profitability.

We evaluate our business using the following three segments:

SelectQuote Senior (“Senior”), our fastest growing and largest segment, was launched in 2010 and provides unbiased comparison shopping for Medicare Advantage (“MA”) and Medicare Supplement (“MS”) insurance plans as well as prescription drug and dental, vision and hearing ("DVH") plans, and critical illness products. We represent approximately 15 leading, nationally-recognized insurance carrier partners, including Humana, UnitedHealthcare, and Aetna. MA and MS plans accounted for 84% and 80% of our approved Senior policies for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 81% and 78% for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with ancillary policies, including DVH plans, accounting for the majority of the remainder.

provides unbiased comparison shopping for life insurance products such as term and permanent life policies (together referred to as "core"), final expense policies, and other ancillary products such as critical illness, accidental death, and juvenile insurance policies (together referred to as "ancillary"). We represent approximately 15 leading, nationally-recognized insurance carrier partners, with many of these relationships exceeding 15 years. Core life policies accounted for 61% and 82% of new premium within the Life segment for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with final expense policies accounting for 37% and 14% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, core life policies accounted for 54% and 82% of new premium within the Life segment, respectively, with final expense policies accounting for 44% and 16%, respectively.

SelectQuote Auto & Home (“Auto & Home”) was founded in 2011 as an unbiased comparison shopping platform for auto, home, and specialty insurance lines. We offer insurance products, including homeowners, auto, dwelling fire, and other ancillary insurance products underwritten by approximately 30 leading, nationally-recognized insurance carrier partners. Homeowners and 12-month auto products accounted for 78% of new premium within the Auto & Home segment for each of the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and 79% and 78% for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with six-month auto, dwelling, and other products accounting for the majority of the remainder.

The three and six months ended December 31 referenced throughout the commentary below refers to the second quarter and fiscal year-to-date performance of our fiscal years ending on June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Key Business and Operating Metrics by Segment

In addition to traditional financial metrics, we rely upon certain business and operating metrics to estimate and recognize commission revenue, evaluate our business performance and facilitate our operations. In our Senior segment, our primary product, Medicare Advantage, pays us flat commission rates based on the number of policies we sell on behalf of our insurance carrier partners. Therefore, we have determined that units and unit metrics are the most appropriate measures to evaluate the performance of the Senior segment. In our Life and Auto & Home segments, we are typically paid a commission that is a percent of the premium that we generate for our insurance carrier partners. Therefore, we have determined that premium-based metrics are the most relevant measures to evaluate the performance of these segments. Below are the most relevant business and operating metrics for each segment:

Senior

Submitted Policies

Submitted policies are counted when an individual completes an application with our licensed agent and provides authorization to them to submit it to the insurance carrier partner. The applicant may have additional actions to take before the application will be reviewed by the insurance carrier, such as providing additional information.

The following table shows the number of submitted policies for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended December 31,		Six Months Ended December 31,
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Medicare Advantage	246,548	108,223	294,539	129,074
Medicare Supplement	13,273	9,179	20,549	12,680

Total	313,030	150,743	392,647	187,216

Table of Contents

Total submitted policies increased by 108% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was driven primarily by a 128% increase in MA submitted policies and an 80% increase in DVH submitted policies. The overall increase in submitted policies for Senior products was primarily due to an increase in the number of agents we employ and an increase in productivity per agent. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we increased the number of average productive agents by approximately 70% and increased the productivity per productive agent by 32% from the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in productivity was driven by improvements in agent close rates and enhancements to our agent workflow and desktop.

Total submitted policies increased by 110% for the six months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was driven primarily by a 128% increase in MA submitted policies and an 86% increase in DVH submitted policies. The overall increase in submitted policies for Senior products was primarily due to an increase in the number of agents we employ and an increase in productivity per agent. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, we increased the number of average productive agents by 75% and increased the productivity per productive agent by 27% from the six months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in productivity was driven by improvements in agent close rates and enhancements to our agent workflow and desktop.

Approved Policies

Approved policies represents the number of submitted policies that were approved by our insurance carrier partners for the identified product during the indicated period. Not all approved policies will go in force.

The following table shows the number of approved policies for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended December 31,		Six Months Ended December 31,
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Medicare Advantage	208,714	89,920	251,187	108,399
Medicare Supplement	10,451	6,412	16,776	9,038
Dental, Vision and Hearing	33,614	15,630	49,853	22,924
Prescription Drug Plan	4,815	7,379	7,447	8,881
Other	3,256	779	5,080	1,197
Total	260,850	120,120	330,343	150,439

In general, the relationship between submitted policies and approved policies has been steady over time. Therefore, factors impacting the number of submitted policies also impact the number of approved policies.

Total approved policies increased by 117% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was driven primarily by a 132% increase in MA approved policies, 115% increase in DVH approved policies, and a 63% increase in MS approved policies. Fluctuations in approved policies are in direct correlation to submitted policies; therefore, the increases in the number of core and flex productive agents and the increased agent productivity noted above, also resulted in the increase in approved policies compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Lifetime Value of Commissions per Approved Policy

The lifetime value of commissions (the “LTV”) per approved policy represents commissions estimated to be collected over the estimated life of an approved policy based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix and expected policy persistency with applied constraints. The LTV per approved policy is equal to the sum of the commission revenue due upon the initial sale of a policy, and when applicable, an estimate of future renewal commissions. The estimate of the future renewal commissions is determined using contracted renewal commission rates constrained by a persistency-adjusted 10-year renewal period based on a combination of our historical experience and available insurance carrier historical experience to estimate renewal revenue only to the extent probable that a material reversal in revenue would not be expected to occur. These factors may result in varying values from period to period. The LTV per approved policy represents commissions only from policies sold during the period. That figure excludes renewals during the period from policies originally sold in a prior period with insurance carrier partners whose contracts preclude us from recognizing variable consideration for estimated renewal commissions and updated estimates of prior period variable consideration based on actual policy renewals in the current period.

The following table shows the LTV per approved policy for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Medicare Advantage	$	1,268	$	1,268	$	1,251	$	1,250
Medicare Supplement	1,233		1,367		1,248		1,340
Dental, Vision and Hearing	138		140		148		140
Prescription Drug Plan	232		226		235		232
Other	127		211		130		106

The LTV per MA approved policy was flat and LTV per MS approved policy decreased 10% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The MA LTV was positively impacted by higher commission rates and carrier mix offset by lower MA persistency rates. The MS LTV was negatively impacted by a carrier mix shift of policies to carriers that pay us lower commissions.

The LTV per MA approved policy was flat and LTV per MS approved policy decreased 7% for the six months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2019. The MA LTV was positively impacted by higher commission rates and carrier mix somewhat offset by lower MA persistency rates. The MS LTV was negatively impacted by a carrier mix shift of policies to carriers that pay us lower commissions.

Per Unit Economics

Per unit economics represents total Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement commissions, other product commissions, other revenues, and costs associated with the Senior segment, each shown as per number of approved Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement approved policies over a given time period. Management assesses the business on a per unit basis to help ensure that the revenue opportunity associated with a successful policy sale is attractive relative to the marketing acquisition cost. All per policy metrics are based on approved policies which is a measure that triggers revenue recognition.

The Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for policies sold in the period. Other commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for other products sold in the period, including DVH prescription drug plan, and other products, which management views as additional commission revenue on our agents’ core function of MA/MS policy sales. Other per MA/MS policy represents the production bonuses, lead sales revenue from InsideResponse, and updated estimates of prior period variable consideration based on actual policy renewals in the current period. Total operating expenses per MA/MS policy represent all of the operating expenses within the Senior segment. The Revenue to customer acquisition cost (“CAC”) multiple represents total revenue per MA/MS policy as a multiple of total marketing acquisition cost,

Table of Contents

which represents the direct costs of acquiring leads which is included in marketing and advertising expense within the total operating expenses per MA/MS policy.

The following table shows per unit economics for the periods presented. Based on the seasonality of the Senior segment and the fluctuations between quarters, we believe that the most relevant view of per unit economics is on a rolling 12-month basis. All per MA/MS policy metrics below are based on the sum of approved MA/MS policies, as both products have similar commission profiles. These metrics are the basis on which management assesses the business.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information regarding our use of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to their nearest comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Total revenue per policy was flat for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, due to a decrease in the amount of other ancillary insurance policies sold as a percent of MA/MS policies and lower marketing development funds received per approved MA/MS policy due to a shift in mix towards carriers that do not pay us marketing development funds, offset by higher advertising revenue associated with InsideResponse. Total cost per policy increased 9% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, due to an increase in our marketing and advertising expense consistent with our strategy to drive higher absolute Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA with slightly lower Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Life

Life premium represents the total premium value for all policies that were approved by the relevant insurance carrier partner and for which the policy document was sent to the policyholder and payment information was received by the relevant insurance carrier partner during the indicated period. Because our commissions are earned based on a percentage of total premium, total premium volume for a given period is the key driver of revenue for our Life segment.

Table of Contents

The following table shows core, final expense, and ancillary premiums for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands):	2020		2019		2020		2019
Core Premiums	$	18,751	$	19,469	$	37,317	$	37,849
Final Expense Premiums	11,263		3,424		30,713		7,339
Ancillary Premiums	505		750		1,162		1,251

Total core premiums decreased slightly for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The number of policies sold declined 7%, which was somewhat offset by a 3% increase in the average premium per policy sold. Final expense premiums increased 229% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019, due to a significant increase in the number of agents selling final expense policies.

Total core premiums decreased slightly for the six months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2019. The number of policies sold declined 5%, which was offset by a 4% increase in the average premium per policy sold. Final expense premiums increased 318% for the six months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2019, due to a significant increase in the number of agents selling final expense policies.

Auto & Home

Auto & Home premium represents the total premium value of all new policies that were approved by our insurance carrier partners during the indicated period. Because our commissions are earned based on a percentage of total premium, total premium volume for a given period is the key driver of revenue for our Auto & Home segment.

The following table shows premiums for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands):	2020		2019		2020		2019
Premiums	$	13,255	$	14,716	$	30,155	$	32,002

Total premiums decreased 10% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to our strategic shift of agents from Auto & Home to our Senior and Life divisions (see Segment Information below for further details).

Total premiums decreased 6% for the six months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to our strategic shift of agents from Auto & Home to our Senior and Life divisions (see Segment Information below for further details).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our GAAP financial results, we have presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain add-backs for non-cash or non-recurring expenses, including restructuring and share-based compensation expenses. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. We monitor and have presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by

Table of Contents

our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that excluding the impact of these expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance.

We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculations of this non-GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, we believe that this financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.

Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of this non-GAAP financial measure rather than net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the fact that Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, income tax expense, and other non-recurring expenses that are one-time in nature. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

The following tables reconcile Adjusted EBITDA and net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, for the periods presented:

Revenue

We earn commissions for the sale of first year and renewal policies from our insurance carrier partners, which are presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as commission revenue. Additionally, we earn certain volume-based bonuses from some carriers on first-year policies sold, which we refer to as production bonuses and marketing development funds, based on attaining various predetermined target sales levels or other agreed upon objectives, as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as production bonus and other revenue (“other revenue”). Our contracts with our insurance carrier partners contain a single performance obligation satisfied at the point in time to which we allocate the total transaction price. The transaction price is identified as the first year commission due upon the initial sale of a policy as well as an estimate of future renewal commissions and other revenue when applicable. After a policy is sold, we have no material additional or recurring obligations to the policyholder or the insurance carrier partner. Therefore, we do not incur any additional expense related to our receipt of future renewal commissions or other revenue. All of the costs associated with the sale of an individual policy are incurred prior to or at the time of the initial sale of an individual policy.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019–Commission revenue increased $162.3 million, or 102%, for the three months ended December 31, 2020, which included increases in Senior and Life commission revenues of $156.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively, offset by a decrease in Auto & Home commission revenue of $1.7 million. For Senior, the revenue growth was driven by the significant increase in our agent count that led to a 132% increase in Medicare Advantage commission revenue. Life’s $7.4 million revenue growth was driven by $6.9 million growth in final expense revenue which was a result of the investment we have made in agents to grow sales of these policies, and a slight increase in core term life revenue. The revenue decline for Auto & Home was driven by our strategic shift in agents from Auto & Home to our Senior and Life divisions. The $19.7 million increase in production bonus and other revenue was primarily driven by $12.5 million of advertising revenue associated with InsideResponse and $6.6 million in marketing development funds received for Senior.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019–Commission revenue increased $211.0 million, or 97%, for the six months ended December 31, 2020, which included increases in Senior and Life commission revenues of $191.7 million and $22.3 million, respectively, offset by a decrease in Auto & Home commission revenue of $2.7 million. For Senior, the revenue growth was driven by the significant increase in our agent count that led to a 133% increase in Medicare Advantage commission revenue. Life’s $22.3 million revenue growth was driven by $21.0 million growth in final expense revenue which was a result of the investment we have made in agents to grow sales of these policies and a slight increase in core term life revenue. The revenue decline for Auto & Home was driven by our strategic shift in agents from Auto & Home to our Senior and Life divisions. The $29.9 million increase in production bonus and other revenue was primarily driven by $20.5 million of advertising revenue associated with InsideResponse and $8.2 million in marketing development funds received for Senior.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue represents the direct costs associated with fulfilling our obligations to our insurance carrier partners for the sale of insurance policies. Such costs primarily consist of compensation and related benefit costs for agents, fulfillment specialists and others directly engaged in servicing policy holders. It also includes licensing costs for our agents and allocations for facilities, telecommunications and software maintenance costs, which are all based on headcount. Facilities costs include rent and utilities expenses and other costs to maintain our office locations. Telecommunications and software maintenance costs includes costs related to the internal phone systems and various software applications that our agents use to make sales. These costs directly correlate to the number of agents we have as we are primarily charged based on per person usage for the phone systems and software applications.

Percentage of total revenue	23		%	29		%				28		%	34		%

Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019–Cost of revenue increased $33.6 million, or 67% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to a $29.3 million increase in compensation costs driven by the growth in the number of agents within the Senior segment and to a lesser extent the Life segment to support the sale of final expense policies. The increase in headcount also drove increases in the allocations of $3.1 million for facilities, telecommunications, and software maintenance costs, and $1.6 million for licensing costs.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019–Cost of revenue increased $52.0 million, or 63%, for the six months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to a $44.9 million increase in compensation costs driven by the growth in the number of agents within the Senior segment and to a lesser extent the Life segment to support the sale of final expense policies. The increase in headcount also drove increases in the allocations of $4.0 million for facilities, telecommunications, and software maintenance costs, and $2.8 million for licensing costs.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising expenses consist primarily of the direct costs associated with marketing and advertising of our services, such as television and radio commercials and online advertising. These direct costs generally represent over 90% of our marketing and advertising expenses. Other costs consist of compensation and other expenses related to marketing, business development, partner management, public relations, carrier relations personnel who support our offerings, and allocations for facilities, telecommunications and software maintenance costs. Our marketing and advertising costs increase during AEP and OEP to generate more leads during these high-volume periods.

Segment Information

We currently have three reportable segments: 1) Senior, 2) Life and 3) Auto & Home. The performance measures of the segments include total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to other entities that operate in the same industries.

Table of Contents

In addition, we account for non-operating activity, share-based compensation expense, certain intersegment eliminations and the costs of providing corporate and other administrative services in our administrative division, Corporate & Eliminations. These services are not directly identifiable with our reportable segments and are shown in the tables below to reconcile the reportable segments to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Costs of revenue, marketing and advertising and technical development operating costs and expenses that are directly attributable to a segment are reported within the applicable segment. Indirect costs of revenue, marketing and advertising and technical development operating costs and expenses are allocated to each segment based on varying metrics such as headcount. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as total revenue for the applicable segment less direct and allocated costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, technical development and general and administrative operating costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense; loss on disposal of property, equipment, and software; share-based compensation expense; restructuring expenses; and non-recurring expenses such as severance payments and transaction costs. Our CODM does not separately evaluate assets by segment; therefore, assets by segment are not presented.

Revenue by Segment

Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019–Revenue from our Senior segment was $315.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a $176.6 million, or 127%, increase compared to revenue of $138.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $150.0 million, or 132%, increase in MA commission revenue, a $3.4 million, or 37%, increase in MS commission revenue, and a $12.5 million increase in advertising revenue from InsideResponse included in production bonus and other revenue.

Table of Contents

Revenue from our Life segment was $36.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a $7.4 million, or 26%, increase compared to revenue of $29.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $6.9 million, or 204%, increase in final expense revenue which was the result of our increased focus on selling final expense policies.

Revenue from our Auto & Home segment was $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a $1.3 million, or 15%, decrease compared to revenue of $8.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a 10% decrease in premium sold.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019––Revenue from our Senior segment was $388.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, a $222.3 million, or 134%, increase compared to revenue of $166.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $178.6 million, or 133%, increase in MA commission revenue, a $7.3 million, or 54%, increase in MS commission revenue, and a $20.5 million increase in advertising revenue from InsideResponse included in production bonus and other revenue.

Revenue from our Life segment was $79.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, a $22.6 million, or 40%, increase compared to revenue of $56.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $21.0 million, or 306%, increase in final expense revenue which was the result of our increased focus on selling final expense policies.

Revenue from our Auto & Home segment was $16.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, a $1.8 million, or 10%, decrease compared to revenue of $18.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a 6% decrease in premium sold.

Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019–Adjusted EBITDA from our Senior segment was $134.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a $66.4 million, or 98%, increase compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $68.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to a $176.6 million increase in revenue partially offset by a $110.2 million increase in operating costs and expenses primarily attributable to an increase in variable marketing expenses and personnel costs associated with higher headcount that was driven by a significant increase in policies submitted and approved and an increase in the number of licensed agents.

Adjusted EBITDA from our Life segment was $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a $0.2 million, or 3%, increase compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $6.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $7.4 million increase in revenue offset by a $7.2 million increase in operating costs and expenses primarily attributable to an increase in variable marketing expenses and variable sales commission expenses to agents driven by an increase in the amount of premium sold for ancillary policies, most notably final expense policies. Adjusted EBITDA was also impacted by flexing a significant amount of our Life and Health Advisor ("LHA") agents that sell final expense policies into Senior to sell during AEP as we incurred expense to hire and train some of these agents but didn't realize the full benefit of revenue within our Life business for the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA from our Auto & Home segment was $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a $0.6 million, or 42%, increase compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease in operating costs and expenses partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in revenue. Revenue was negatively impacted by our shift of agents to 1) the Senior segment to maximize the opportunity of the AEP and OEP seasonal increase in demand and 2) the Life segment to sell final expense policies. Even with the slight decline in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA improved due to an increase in the mix of tenured agents who are more productive and have higher close rates.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019–Adjusted EBITDA from our Senior segment was $143.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, a $77.3 million, or 117%, increase compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $66.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to a $222.3 million increase in revenue partially offset by a $145.0 million increase in operating costs and expenses primarily attributable to an increase in variable marketing expenses and personnel costs associated with higher headcount that was driven by a significant increase in policies submitted and approved and an increase in the number of licensed agents.

Adjusted EBITDA from our Life segment was $16.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, a $4.8 million, or 40%, increase compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $12.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $22.6 million increase in revenue partially offset by a $17.8 million increase in operating costs and expenses primarily attributable to an increase in variable marketing expenses and variable sales commission expenses to agents driven by an increase in the amount of premium sold for ancillary policies, most notably final expense policies.

Adjusted EBITDA from our Auto & Home segment was $5.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, a $1.8 million, or 44%, increase compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $4.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in operating costs and expenses partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in revenue. Revenue was negatively impacted by our shift of agents to 1) the Senior segment to maximize the opportunity of the AEP and OEP seasonal increase in demand and 2) the Life segment to sell final expense policies. Even with the slight decline in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA improved due to an increase in the mix of tenured agents who are more productive and have higher close rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity needs primarily include working capital and debt service requirements. We believe that our current sources of liquidity, which include the proceeds from the IPO and cash and funds available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and debt service requirements for at least the next 18 months. To the extent that our current liquidity is insufficient to fund future activities, we may need to raise additional funds. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. The incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations, and any future instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that could restrict our operations. Further, while COVID-19 has caused disruptions to the economy both domestically and globally, the Company expects to maintain its financial flexibility under current market conditions. However, there is inherent difficulty in assessing the possibility of future changes that could materially alter this judgement. As such will continue to monitor our liquidity and capital resources through the disruption caused by COVID-19 and will continue to evaluate our financial position and our liquidity needs.

As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $245.9 million and $368.9 million, respectively. The following table presents a summary of our cash flows for the periods presented below:

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation; amortization of intangible assets and internally developed software; deferred income taxes; share-based compensation expense and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

Collection of commissions receivable depends upon the timing of our receipt of commission payments and associated commission statements from our insurance carrier partners. If we were to experience a delay in receiving a commission payment from an insurance carrier partner within a quarter, our operating cash flows for that quarter could be adversely impacted.

A significant portion of our marketing and advertising expenses is driven by the number of leads required to generate the insurance applications we submit to our insurance carrier partners. Our marketing and advertising costs are expensed and generally paid as incurred and since commission revenue is recognized upon approval of a policy but commission payments are paid to us over time there are working capital requirements to fund the upfront cost of acquiring new policies. During AEP, we experience an increase in the number of submitted Senior insurance applications and marketing and advertising expenses compared to periods outside of AEP. The timing of AEP affects the positive or negative impacts of our cash flows during each quarter.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2020—Cash used in operating activities was $103.1 million, consisting of net income of $91.3 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $39.4 million, offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $233.8 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $25.3 million in deferred income taxes as the Company defers revenue related to certain commissions receivable into following years until it is collected, $6.9 million of depreciation and amortization related to additional fixed assets purchases to accommodate our growth in headcount and internally developed software in service, $2.3 million of share-based compensation expense, and $1.9 million of non-cash lease expense. The cash decrease resulting from changes in net operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of increases of $219.1 million in commissions receivable and $63.4 million in accounts receivable related to the increase in approved policies partially offset by increases of $15.7 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $32.4 million in other liabilities, which consists primarily of commission advances and accrued compensation and benefits, all driven by the increased marketing and personnel costs required to produce our increased revenue.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2019—Cash used in operating activities was $50.6 million, consisting of net income of $37.4 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $24.8 million, offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $112.8 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $11.8 million of deferred income taxes as the Company defers revenue related to certain commissions receivable into following years until it is collected, $9.3 million of share-based compensation expense primarily related to the Distribution, and $3.2 million of depreciation and amortization related to the additional fixed assets purchased to accommodate our growth in headcount. The cash decrease resulting from changes in net operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of increases of $110.8 million in commissions receivable and $13.1 million in accounts receivable related to the increase in approved policies, partially offset by increases of $5.0 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $5.2 million in other liabilities, primarily accrued compensation and benefits, all driven by the increased marketing and personnel costs required to produce our increased revenue.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities primarily consist of purchases of furniture and fixtures, computer hardware, leasehold improvements related to facilities expansion, and capitalized salaries related to the development of internal-use software.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2020—Net cash used in investing activities of $9.1 million was due to $5.8 million of purchases of property and equipment and $3.4 million in purchases of software and capitalized internal-use software spent to develop new programs and systems to efficiently accommodate our increased volumes.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2019—Net cash used in investing activities of $7.9 million was due to $5.5 million of purchases of property and equipment and $2.4 million in purchases of software and capitalized internal-use software spent to develop new programs and systems to efficiently accommodate our increased volumes.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity and proceeds and payments related to stock-based compensation.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2020—Net cash used in financing activities of $10.7 million was primarily due to $5.3 million in payments for withholding taxes related to net share settlements of employee stock option awards, $3.9 million in payments for costs incurred in the IPO, and $1.8 million in payments for costs incurred in connection with our private placement, partially offset by $0.4 million of proceeds from common stock exercises.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2019—Net cash provided by financing activities of $135.8 million was primarily due to $416.5 million in net proceeds from the Term Loan and $8.4 million gross proceeds from non-recourse debt, partially offset by $275.0 million for the Distribution, and $8.2 million in net payments for our revolving line of credit, which was used to fund working capital, mostly due to our seasonality around AEP.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On November 5, 2019, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with UMB as a lender and revolving agent and Morgan Stanley Capital Administrators, Inc. as a lender and the administrative agent for a syndicate of lenders party to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Refer to Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details. There were no amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, there was $325.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan.

Our risk management strategy includes entering into interest rate swap agreements to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating to forecasted debt transactions. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement on May 12, 2020, with an effective date of May 29, 2020. It has a notional amount of $325.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest payments on the debt issuance. Refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

Contractual Obligations

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

We are primarily exposed to the market risk associated with unfavorable movements in interest rates. The risk inherent in our market risk-sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss or increased expense arising from adverse changes in those factors. There have been no material changes to our market risk policies or our market risk-sensitive instruments and positions as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2020, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out by our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable level of assurance of achieving their desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
