Thank you, Eli, and good afternoon to everyone joining us today for our second quarter '22 earnings call. During my prepared remarks, I will provide an update on our progress in implementing our strategic initiatives. Discuss second quarter financial and operating results and revisit our outlook for the remainder of the year.

I'd like to begin though with some higher level thoughts on our industry.

Do you align in telesales health insurance distribution industry has faced multiple challenges over the past two years that have required the key players, including eHealth to make conscious changes to our enrollment growth strategies, including a shift in approach to demand generation to achieve enrollment margins that support the economics of this business.

Other top priorities for our industry include increasing manpower retention, continuously enhancing beneficiary experience, and maintaining a solid compliance track record as regulatory requirements evolve. The businesses that respond to these challenges effectively will be rewarded for deeper relationships with their customers and carrier partners.

And as the industry continues to evolve, we believe growth will return along with more stable financial performance. We believe customers deserve a trusted and unbiased adviser and shopping platform offering a broad selection of quality carrier options to meet their personal health insurance needs and preferences.

Further, consumer needs and expectations range from do it yourself for limited assistance or advice for full agents assistance to the customer or caregiver. Consumers also choose to interact with brokers in a variety of ways, including by telephone, or online on assistant using a computer or mobile device.

But through a hybrid online agent assisted process. eHealth is listening to consumer preferences regarding the shopping experience for their health insurance needs, and has built a robust and convenient omnichannel platform that continues to evolve today.

eHealth Medicare and individual and family businesses provide significant value to both beneficiaries and carriers and remain attractive growth opportunities.

Our comprehensive omnichannel shopping and enrollment platform and our expertise and using data science to simplify complex and personally impactful decisions regarding health insurance are foundational to our value proposition, which is built to meet consumers on their terms.

We believe that eHealth will maintain and strengthen its leadership position in the large and growing direct to consumer health insurance distribution industry as we implement our impactful new short and long-term transformational initiatives identified in the past year. I'll now move on to our second quarter progress and performance.

In Q2, we continue to execute on the six point operating plan that we've outlined on our prior earnings calls and took further steps in our cost savings journey. Currently, we're on track to deliver more than 60 million in annualized cost savings through targeted reductions in both variable and fixed cost.

In the second quarter, we implemented a targeted workforce reduction, while maintaining strong expertise in areas of our strategic focus. We have also conducted a thorough review of each marketing campaign in partnership phasing out those arrangements that did not fit our member acquisition cost criteria.

Additionally, as part of our cost savings initiatives, we have set a course to significantly reduced our real estate footprint as it become a virtual first workplace. This will eliminate a large fixed cost center over time. The primary goal of these cost savings initiatives remains unchanged.

Returning to profitable growth and cash flow generation on an accelerated timeline. We are also seeing signs of a more rational approach to marketing spend and enrollment growth in the broader Medicare distribution industry.

Based on these observations, and to further our goal of eliminating the underperforming customer acquisition channels, we've made the decision to reduce our investment in telesales capacity and variable marketing in the second half of the year relative to the original operating plan.

This means we expect to have fewer Medicare advantage enrollments, while achieving the same or better profitability on these enrollments by focusing on the highest ROI channels, and increasing liege conversion rates.

In the second quarter, we recognized a revenue impairment of $8.7 million, caused mostly by lower than expected potential within Medicare cohorts both during the first half of 2021. Before the implementation of our enrollment quality initiatives.

The revenue impairment and our new lower marketing spend plan for the year informed the lower revenue guidance range, while GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges were lowered by the net amount of the impairment.

Conversely, our lower cost outlook for the year is also the reason that we are increasing our guidance for total cash flow outflow. Because cash flow is not an ASC 606 item, it is not impacted by the impairment. These revised numbers can be found on our earnings press release in earnings slides.

Christine will provide more context for the impairment and our new outlook for this year later on the call. At this point, I'd like to revisit each of the six areas of our operating plan and discuss our executional progress each of them.

First, as I mentioned, we are on track to achieve above and beyond our plan reductions in cost structure and working to identify additional areas of savings for the second half of 2022 and into 2023.

Second, we are deploying marketing dollars in a way that we expect will drive better unit economics, including the optimization of our marketing mix to focus on channels where we hold strong competitive differentiation. In accordance with this goal, we have further reduced our investment in the direct TV channel.

For the upcoming AEP, our investment in direct TV will be branded and limited to specific geographies where we see the best opportunity and we plan to build on this approach in the coming years.

Absolute dollar investment in the lead aggregator channel declined significantly in the second quarter compared to a year ago, but remains a meaningful portion of our overall channel mix.

Moving into the AEP, we will be dramatically reducing the contribution from this channel maintaining only those lead generator relationships that fit our LTV to CAC targets.

In the second half of 2022, we plan to ramp our exposure to the online advertising channels, direct mail, and email marketing, as well as lead nurturing, where we, for example, will leverage 100s of 1000s of online applications that are left partially completed every quarter.

The emphasis on targeted marketing to our audience segmentation and promoting the eHealth brand will apply broadly across our marketing initiatives going forward. Additionally, we look forward to announcing our new Chief Marketing Officer in the coming weeks.

This critical new hire will be leading the next stage of our omnichannel demand generation strategy.

Third, as previously shared, we're slowing down or telephonic enrollment growth this year, while emphasizing agent training and our retention initiatives, piloting a local market centric model, and increasing the contribution from dedicated carrier arrangements to de-risk our marketing strategy and boost conversion rates.

While our telephonic conversion rates remain impacted by the enrollment quality initiatives introduced last year, they did track ahead of our expectations in the second quarter. We're also seeing continuing traction with our quality metrics.

Our carrier partners have acknowledged our success in executing on the commitments we made coming out of the 2021 AEP to improve quality through CTM reductions. As the cohort and role during the 2022 AEP has demonstrated lower CPMs and better retention.

We're following through on our quality commitments with impactful actions that have further strengthened our carrier relationships. In addition, we believe that sustained improvements in CTM metrics is a leading indicator for customer satisfaction and improve retention performance for our new enrollments.

And in fact, the members who we enrolled during the most recent AEP continue to track significantly better relative to prior AEP cohorts in terms of persistency. Year-to-date lapse rate on our '22 AEP cohort is approximately 10% better than what we've observed with the '21 AEP cohort at the same time a year ago.

Ahead of the AEP, we're putting in place a number of programs aimed at further improving agent performance. One of these programs is eHealth University, which is a higher touch training model meant to help agents enhance their sales skills. In addition to obtaining required Medicare plan and regional market knowledge.

Our product team also made significant progress this quarter iterating on and testing enhancements to our selling process. In Q2, we successfully launched an online chat tool powered by licensed agents, and piloted a co-browsing feature that allows our agents and customers to screen share for a more effective navigation of the enrollment experience.

We're seeing early positive and impact on conversion rates for customers took advantage of these new tools. This is an example of improving the experience for our agents and customers during the selling process.

As we frequently hear from beneficiaries, that they want to be able to see the plans in front of them as an agent is describing the available plan options. As we ramped for the AEP we are building an agent base that is leaner and more agile than in past years.

Supplementing with a small number of third-party agents, reflecting a revised outlook and focus on the most profitable enrollments. We have reduced our hiring targets this year, and are currently expecting a year-over-year reduction in fourth quarter agent headcount.

The fourth element of our operational plan is to continue growing our online business reinforcing our tech differentiation through targeted investment in our e-Commerce platform. I continue to believe that one of our most important competitive notes is our seamless omnichannel enrollment platform led by scalable online enrollment capabilities.

We believe that beneficiaries find tremendous value in our end-to-end enrollment capabilities, and that it is critical to maintain and advanced this point of differentiation.

As we have pulled back on our variable marketing spanned across the organization in the second quarter, we also temporarily scaled back the amount of leads we generated through paid online advertising.

While we continue to grow our Q2 Online unassisted Medicare Advantage enrollment 15% year-over-year, this represented a slower rate of growth compared to prior quarters. The fifth element of our plan is to work with our carrier partners to pursue revenue opportunities, and value creation beyond the traditional broker record model.

This includes collaborating on ways to enhance beneficiary experience post enrollment, including joint member engagement and support initiatives. Beneficiary experience is one of the top priorities for carriers that we're seeing early interest in these joint programs that could drive revenue other than broker compensation.

Finally, the sixth point is to pursue cost effective diversification initiatives. On the IFP side, we are pursuing the emerging Individual Consumer Health Reimbursement Arrangement or ICHRA opportunity which allows employers to fund IFP premiums for their workforce as an affordable alternative small business coverage.

In the second quarter, we intentionally decided to keep our powder dry in order to ramp our spend in the fourth quarter, where we see the largest potential for scaling ICHRA enrollments.

We're also experimenting with ancillary products that target our existing Medicare customer base, such as hospital indemnity products, as well as dental vision and hearing products with the potential for additional products where we see opportunity.

And finally, we're evaluating new areas of expansion that represents a departure from our current products and services. We expect any diversification initiatives that we undertake after initial testing to have a more favorable first year cash flow profile relative to an MA sale.

Moving to second quarter financial results, total revenue was $50.4 million, GAAP net loss was $37.5 million, adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was a loss of $33.3 million. We ended the quarter with $801.6 million in commission receivables.

Second quarter core operational performance exceeded our revenue and adjusted EBITA expectations driven primarily by better than expected telephonic conversion rates in the Medicare business. As I mentioned earlier in the second quarter, we also recorded an $8.7 million negative adjustments in revenue which impacted overall results.

While we are seeing better retention on the newer Medicare Advantage cohorts enrolled after we introduced the call verification step in July of 2021, some of the older cohorts have churned at elevated rates.

Excluding the impact of the negative revenue adjustment, our second quarter revenue was $59.1 million and adjusted EBITDA loss was $24.6 million.

Despite recording this negative tail stemming from older Medicare cohorts, it is still true that the enrollment quality initiatives implemented last July are serving their intended purpose of creating a better overall customer experience while increasing persistency and decreasing CTM rates.

As part of our transformation initiatives, we are working on strategies for enhancing eHealth's capital structure, and meeting our long-term capital needs.

We expect to be able to discuss this in greater detail later this year, when we also plan to feature some of the initiatives from our three-year strategic business plan, along with revenue growth and cash flow outlook.

When I was asked to lead eHealth, I was anticipating making leadership changes following the same team building playbook that has worked for me in the past, namely building a team with complementary skills, bought into our mission and vision and committed to putting the company first. I believe we're in the final stages of completing this goal.

With that as context in conjunction with our second quarter results, we filed an 8-K announcing the departure of our Chief Digital Officer, Phillip Morelock.

We appreciate Philip's contributions to eHealth during the past four years, a search for a new digital and technology leader is underway and I'm confident we'll continue to attract great talent to complete the transformation of the leadership team.

In the first half of 2022, we welcome new executives to our management team including our Chief Operating Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, Roman Rariy, our new General Counsel, Gavin Galimi and Chief Accounting Officer, John Dolan. In addition, we plan to announce the appointment of our new Chief Marketing Officer before the end of the month.

I'm excited to have these critical hires in place as their energy and enthusiasm is contagious throughout the entire organization. While we're still in the midst of executing our transformation plan, my confidence in eHealth strategy and positioning to take advantage of the attractive Medicare Advantage opportunity remains unwavering.

I'm confident that the operational, technology and marketing changes we are making have eHealth on the right track to reach our goal of sustainable profitable growth and deliver value to our shareholders.

I'll now pass the floor to Christine to discuss our financial results and outlook for the second half of 2022 in greater detail, Christine?.

total revenue for 2022 is now expected to be in the range of $375 million to $395 million, compared to our prior guidance range of $448 million to $470 million. Net loss for 2022 is now expected to be in the range of $115 million to $92 million, compared to our prior guidance range of $106 million to $83 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 is now expected to be in the range of negative $73 million to negative $45 million, compared to our prior guidance range of negative $64 million to negative $37 million.

Total cash outflow for 2022 excluding the impact of our $70 million term loan, and associated costs is now expected to be in the range of $110 million to $90 million, compared to our prior guidance range of $140 million to $120 million.

Looking to the upcoming third quarter, we expect revenue to be relatively flat sequentially, while adjusted EBITDA is expected to decline sequentially, reflecting targeted marketing investment and telesales ramp ahead of this year's AEP. I share Fran's confidence in the transformational progress we are making at eHealth.

In addition to driving cashflow upside in 2022, the revised operating plan creates leverage beyond this year by further rationalizing our demand generation strategy in line with what we're observing in the broader market and allowing us to enter 2023 on a lower cost run rate, including a stronger and nimbler telesales organization.

With that, I'll turn it over to the operator to open up for Q&A..

Thank you. [Operator Instructions]. Your first question will come from Elizabeth Anderson with Evercore..

Hey, guys, thanks so much for the question. So a couple of questions maybe. I appreciate you're giving us the updated churn numbers on the newest cohort. I'm just trying to think of for people who are just trying to sort of, we've been sort of so accustomed to like fixating on that over the years.

When do you think that like the -- as we sort of think through the newer cohorts and the impact that they have on that total churn number? Is that like a 2023 event before we start to see those churn numbers on a year-over-year basis move lower. Just help us think about that.

Because I know that that's something that sort of incrementally always makes people nervous when it -- when they see it moving up?.

Hi, Elizabeth. This is Fran. Thanks for joining us. I think, you follow the -- follow sort of each year's life, if you will, or call it a tranche, the January 1 AEP cycle. Think of it as a measurement over a 12 month period, and then we can do a quarterly, but I think looking at it over 12 months is probably more credible.

The next real credible measurement will be January of 23. When it goes -- when that cohort goes through the next annual election period. And then they're again through the OEP. And then the next measurement period beyond that would be January of 24. So I think they're the kind of a key milestones..

Okay, that's really helpful. And then as we think about CC&E, I appreciate you're talking through the quality initiatives that you've been mentioning.

One, can you comment on the overall hiring environment now mentioned of how your it is? I know, it's sort of early days for the full AEP ramp, but how that's trending sort of to plan? And then when do you sort of lap the implementation of the quality initiatives you put in place last year? Because I would think that that would then sort of the comparison, at least on the Medicare Advantage and things conversion would become easier, right? Is that the right way to think about that?.

Let me take the second question first. This quality initiatives went into effect on the third quarter of '21. So the measurement year-over-year would begin this third quarter. So we'll be able to do an apples-to-apples comparison and going forward.

As far as the dynamics in terms of agent recruiting, recognizing that we are now a remote first organization, and we're not sort of beholden to any one geography when we're looking to recruit agents. That gives us greater flexibility.

And I would say that, largely our needs have been met provided our assumptions regarding agents, attrition hold up, of course. So I would say that they're tracking pretty much the plan. And that's Roman is here, and I'll let him to comment as well. Our Chief Operating Officer oversees our telesales operations.

But I think that the training is going really well. He expects the graduation rate to be higher than it has been historically.

And it's because we changed the way that we are onboarding the agents with a more personal hiring with the supervisors are ultimately going to be responsible for that that particular agent being the one who is doing the hiring, as opposed to the recruiter. So there's just the whole process has been re-engineered.

So Roman do you want to add anything to that..

Thank you. So we acknowledge that this year, and that the year refereeing, and they will test environment. So we were preparing for AEP and the new agent class. We acknowledge that and tried our best to actually substitute the in-person interactions that you would have in the office with the -- within the training and within the recruitment.

So we increase the number of touch points with a new agent, we increase the interaction of new agents and the seasoned agents to with the management team all the way from supervisor to VP of sales that seemed to be giving us early indicators of increased hire stark AEP. And on balance the strong group focus on agent training, especially early on.

It's given us good vibes regarding the expected performance during the AEP at least the numbers of agents for sure..

Got it. That's helpful. Thank you very much..

Our next question comes from Daniel Grosslight with Citigroup..

Hi guys, thanks for taking the question. I just want to go to the unassisted online enrollees in Medicare Advantage. So in 2Q, it was up around 12% year-over-year. If I look back at 1Q, it was up around 50%. And then back in 2Q '21, it was up around 80%.

I'm just curious if you're seeing any headwinds in this channel, specifically, obviously, it's growing nice for you, but at a slower rate versus historical.

And how should we think about that unassisted online for this upcoming AEP, should we assume that's going to be a significant step down to last year's AEP growth, which was around 53%?.

Hi, Daniel, it's Fran. We've been very careful about our marketing spend in terms of even on the online unassisted. There's multiple ways that that money can be directed to generate traffic to our online platform. And the spend was redirected to those areas that we felt were going to get the greatest lift and the highest conversion.

So it is more targeted. We do expect healthy growth on our online channel for the AEP. We're not prepared to provide the guidance quite yet on what we think that will ultimately look like in terms of compared to last year's AEP, but it is an important contributor to the overall story here at eHealth.

So we'll provide a little more guidance in the near future..

Okay, great. Some of your competitors have spoken about growing revenue outside of core Medicare commissions. I'm curious, it's not something you've talked about much.

But I'm curious what levers you can pull to grow outside of commissions, if you plan, maybe not this year, but next year, year after if you plan on investing in new, more predictable revenue streams?.

Well, I want to make sure I understand the question because there's other, I would say somewhat related to the Medicare Advantage business that we're also compensated for.

So if it's not particular to that there, there's other things that we already provide in the way of services that we are in discussions with several carriers about that, I would say they value in terms of improving the persistency of their membership. We can generate revenue as a result of that.

So the short answer is, yes, we are definitely looking at that, we see that as revenue opportunities that would be, it wouldn't be 606 related revenue, it would be 605 related revenue. And perhaps it would be more predictable..

Yes, all right. Appreciate the color, Fran..

Your next question comes from Tobey Sommer with Truist Securities..

Thank you.

Under the new lower growth plan, do you expect eHealth to remain in the top tier for the major carriers, given the lower volume levels of sales production that you expect?.

Hi, Tobey, Fran again. Thanks for joining. I think when we look at our partnership with the top carriers, we evaluate those relationships based on the net, meaning that it's the volume and the retention combined.

We're putting a lot of attention on reducing the churn and improving the quality continuing to drive the style which we've had great progress on. And that's been noted by several of our carrier partners.

So we will remain quite relevant with our carrier partners perhaps we will be less relevant with some of the smaller ones, as we put more focus on some of the larger ones. So I would say that's the tradeoff that will make..

Okay, and you mentioned I think in the prepared remarks comment about how others in the market are also being more sort of scrutinizing their marketing spend, how can you tell that competitors are also pulling back on their expectations for growth?.

Well we're relying on what they're saying publicly, we're going to take them at their word..

Okay, so but there's nothing in the marketplace, as you see it, are there other signs that you can see in your day-to-day business activity, that's occurring?.

Not quite yet, but we would potentially see some reduction in traffic on our website, a lot of our competitors, agents use our website to look up providers and they can do that using article, they had no other..

Okay. And then on CMS front was a little under a year-ago, right before AP where there was a letter sent to remind everybody the rules of the road for marketing and sort of good behavior.

Do you expect anything this year, how's the dialog and interaction been with regulators?.

Well, I don't want to go too far out on the limb here and make some precedent. But may or may not do, I think they realized when that came out last October was quite late in the process, and I would like to think that they would not repeat something like that again.

So I have a call later this week with the Deputy Administrator that I organized, so we know each other, we have a chat allows for this is to kind of catch him up on what's going on in eHealth and see what's going on in his world and let him know what's on my mind and how we can keep the dialog open.

So hopefully we can avoid those kinds of situations..

Thank you..

Your next question comes from Ben Hendrix with RBC Capital Markets..

Hey, thanks, guys. I was wondering if you could give us any more information as you increasingly seem to be targeting your variable marketing spend towards those higher ROI areas.

If there are any characteristics as we kind of start applying that spending that you are doing in the third quarter, if you're any kind of characteristics, specific characteristics you can offer to differentiate these higher ROI channels versus those that you're de-emphasizing?.

Hi, Ben. I would probably limit my comments right now. I mean, I think it's fair to say that, we have utilized direct mail, it's no too proprietary. It's probably less about the channel and more about how you convey the message because there's a lot of -- there's a lot of traffic.

As you know, during the APC and it's the message you convey and how do you make sure your message stands out above the rest of that, if beneficiary is going to pick up the phone and dial, they're going to ring eHealth. And that's really what we're focused on. How do we reach our audience? And what message is going to resonate with that.

So there are certain channels that are just, say for a fact that more than others, so that's really our focus..

Got you. Thank you. And just one more last quarter, you mentioned that you had a strong online completion rate around 90% for IFP, and you've called out the ICHRA opportunity. And now given that we've seen the extended reconciliation -- the reconciliation bill passed that extended subsidies for ACA plans.

I was wondering if you could have any early thoughts on where you think your IFP mix might go over the next couple of years? Thanks..

Yes, I think the IFP business will continue to be an important part of our portfolio. I think the [indiscernible] I still remain bullish on it. I'm very eager to see what we can achieve in the fourth quarter, and first quarter of '23. I think it's an intriguing product that could be incredibly helpful to small businesses. So I'm very bullish on that.

And I still think that there's great opportunities with state exchanges that we remain encouraged to play a part on..

Thank you..

And our final question comes from George Sutton from Craig-Hallum..

Hey, thank you. This is Adam on for George. Fran, in your remarks you mentioned the goal is to get to a profitable growth on an accelerated timeline.

I'm curious if there's any specific items that you could focus on that would either speed up or slowdown that timeline in your mind?.

Hi, Adam, thanks for joining. I think we're really pulling all those levers right now, we've worked very diligently to take out cost. We've made great progress there. We've continued to work to improve the conversion rates, for example, on our telesales as well as our online. And the marketing optimization will remain a focus.

So, we're pulling all of the right levers, we have to continue to make important progress there. And I think it basically comes down to the time it takes to get to that optimal level and continue to take out more costs. And I think it's kind of cliche, but it's about turning the corner.

And I think we're getting closer and closer to turning that corner..

Great. And just one more for me, with respect to the opportunity, any potential way to size, what you think that may be relative to other opportunities for this year and what you think it could potentially grow into it, I know it's rather early for it. But any type of thoughts would be helpful..

Well, I'd love to stick my neck out. But my General Counsel is sitting here and shooting looks at me. So I'm going to have to dodge that question a bit. I'd like to say this, that it's been sized on a national scale, and there's inside by a couple of different experts. And the numbers range by pretty substantial level.

So I think that when we talk about later this year, when we talk about the revenue growth opportunity, perhaps I can be a little more specific.

But let me say that, I'm very bullish on it, I think that it's going to gain traction and momentum over the next two to three years as small employers realize what it can do, how it can be utilized in terms of doesn't necessarily have to solve all of their needs, it can solve part of their needs.

And if they have a strategy and strategy that an eHealth can certainly help them work through. It's a great tool, it's a great tool. So I'll just leave it is I'm very bullish..

There are no further questions at this time. Mr. Soistman, I would like to turn the call over to you..

Well, thank you operator. First, I'd like to leave you with a few closing thoughts. The eHealth team continues to make important changes in nearly every aspect of our business towards a goal returning the company to profitable growth and positive cash flow as quickly as possible.

Every day we're making important progress on our strategic plan and our operational priorities. Now that we're at the end of the day here on August the 8th or T minus 68 days from the beginning of AEP and our readiness is tracking the plan. We look forward to our follow-up conversations and continuing to share updates on our progress this year.

So thank you again for joining us this afternoon, operator?.

Good bye..
