The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HealthEquity, Inc., and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2020 and for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020. The fiscal year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the new standard as of February 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amends ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement." ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying and adding certain disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the new standard as of February 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The Company adopted the new standard as of February 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Net income per share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:
Three months ended April 30,
(in thousands, except per share data) 2020 2019
Numerator (basic and diluted):
Net income $ 1,826    $ 41,822   
Denominator (basic):
Weighted-average common shares outstanding 70,980    62,326   
Denominator (diluted):
Weighted-average common shares outstanding 70,980    62,326   
Weighted-average dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units 1,312    1,575

For the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, approximately 0.5 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, attributable to stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 3. Business combination
Acquisition of WageWorks
On August 30, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of WageWorks, Inc. ("WageWorks") for $51.35 per share in cash, or approximately $2.0 billion to WageWorks stockholders. The Company financed the transaction through a combination of $816.9 million cash on hand plus net borrowings of approximately $1.22 billion, after deducting lender fees of approximately $30.5 million, under a term loan facility (see Note 8—Indebtedness).
The Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Consideration paid was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the Acquisition date. The initial allocation of the consideration paid was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to potential adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the Acquisition date). Balances subject to adjustment primarily include the valuations of acquired assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities assumed, as well as tax-related matters. The Company expects the allocation of the consideration transferred to be finalized within the measurement period.
The following table summarizes the Company's current allocation of the consideration paid in the Acquisition:
(in millions) Initial Allocation Adjustments Updated Allocation
Cash and cash equivalents $ 406.8    $ (14.5)   $ 392.3

Contract balances
The Company does not recognize revenue in advance of invoicing its customers and therefore has no related contract assets. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the related services, the Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, until its performance obligations are satisfied. The Company's deferred revenue increased from $3.7 million as of January 31, 2020 to $4.1 million as of April 30, 2020. The balances are related to cash received in advance for an interchange revenue arrangement, other up-front fees and other commuter deferred revenue, and are generally recognized within twelve months, with the exception of the interchange arrangement, which is recognized over a term of approximately ten years. Revenue recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2020 that was included in the beginning balance of deferred revenue was $0.2 million. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining obligations for these arrangements.

Note 7. Commitments and contingencies
Commitments
In addition to the indebtedness described in Note 8 below, the Company’s principal commitments consist of operating lease obligations for office space, data storage facilities, and other leases, a processing services agreement with a vendor, and contractual commitments related to network infrastructure, equipment, and certain maintenance agreements under long-term, non-cancelable commitments. These commitments as of January 31, 2020 are disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, and did not change materially during the three months ended April 30, 2020.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
Legal matters
WageWorks is pursuing affirmative claims against the Office of Personnel Management ("OPM") to obtain payment for services provided by WageWorks between March 1, 2016 and August 31, 2016 pursuant to its contract with OPM. In connection with WageWorks' claims against OPM, OPM has also claimed that an erroneous statement in a certificate signed by a former executive officer constituted a violation of the False Claims Act and moved to dismiss part of WageWorks' claim against OPM as a result. As with all legal proceedings, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of these matters or if WageWorks or OPM will be successful.
On March 9, 2018, a putative class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Securities Class Action”). On May 16, 2019, a consolidated amended complaint was filed by the lead plaintiffs
-11-

Table of Contents

asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against WageWorks, its former Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer on behalf of purchasers of WageWorks common stock between May 6, 2016 and March 1, 2018. The complaint also alleges claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, arising from WageWorks’ June 19, 2017 common stock offering against those same defendants, as well as the members of its board of directors at the time of that offering.
On June 22, 2018 and September 6, 2018, two derivative lawsuits were filed against certain of WageWorks’ former officers and directors and WageWorks (as nominal defendant) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo. The actions were consolidated. On July 23, 2018, a similar derivative lawsuit was filed against certain former WageWorks’ officers and directors and WageWorks (as nominal defendant) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (together, the “Derivative Suits”). The allegations in the Derivative Suits relate to substantially the same facts as those underlying the Securities Class Action described above. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and fees and costs.
Plaintiffs in the Superior Court action filed an amended consolidated complaint on October 28, 2019, naming as defendants certain former officers and directors of WageWorks and alleging a direct claim of "inseparable fraud/breach of fiduciary duty" on behalf of a class. WageWorks was not named as a party in that complaint.
WageWorks voluntarily contacted the San Francisco office of the SEC Division of Enforcement regarding the restatement of WageWorks' financial statements and related independent investigation. WageWorks is providing information and documents to the SEC and continues to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation into these matters. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California also opened an investigation. WageWorks has provided documents and information to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and continues to cooperate with any inquiries by the U.S. Attorney’s Office regarding the matter.
Beginning on July 30, 2019, putative class action suits were filed in the U.S. District Court Courts for the Southern District of New York, the District of Delaware, and the Northern District of California asserting claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against WageWorks and the former members of its board of directors. The complaints generally allege disclosure violations in the proxy statement issued by WageWorks in connection with the stockholder vote on the proposed merger with the Company. After WageWorks issued certain supplemental disclosures, these actions were voluntarily dismissed, but WageWorks may still be required to pay attorneys fees to the plaintiffs' lawyers.
WageWorks previously entered into indemnification agreements with its former directors and officers and, pursuant to these indemnification agreements, is covering the defense of its former directors and officers in the legal proceedings described above.
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other litigation, governmental proceedings and claims, not described above, that arise in the normal course of business. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome or the duration of such litigation, governmental proceedings or claims, the Company believes, based on current knowledge, that such litigation, proceedings and claims will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period.
The Company maintains liability insurance coverage that is intended to cover the legal matters described above; however, it is possible that claims may be denied by our insurance carriers or could exceed the amount of our applicable insurance coverage, we may be required by our insurance carriers to contribute to the payment of claims, and our insurance coverage may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts.
As required under GAAP, the Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that any liabilities relating to these matters are probable or that the amount of any resulting loss is estimable. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs, and potentially in future periods.

(in millions) April 30, 2020
Term loan facility $ 1,234.4   
Less: unamortized loan issuance costs (1) 20.3   
Long-term debt, net of issuance costs $ 1,214.1   
(1) In addition to the $20.3 million of unamortized issuance costs related to the term loan facility, $6.0 million of unamortized issuance costs related to our revolving credit facility are included within other assets on the April 30, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, on August 30, 2019, the Company entered into a credit facility (the "Credit Agreement”) that provided for:
(i)       a five-year senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion, the proceeds of which were used to finance the Acquisition, to refinance substantially all outstanding indebtedness of HealthEquity and WageWorks and to pay related fees and expenses; and
(ii)      a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350 million, which may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and other investments. No amounts were drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility as of April 30, 2020.
Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of HealthEquity, either (i) LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, with the applicable margin determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. As of April 30, 2020, the stated interest rate was 2.15% and the effective interest rate was 2.59%. The Company is also required to pay certain fees to the lenders, including, among others, a quarterly commitment fee on the average unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.20% to 0.40%, with the applicable rate also determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The loans made under the Term Loan Facility are required to be repaid as described in the following table:
Fiscal year ending January 31, (in millions) Principal payments
Remaining 2021 $ 31.3   
2022 62.5   
2023 70.3   
2024 101.6   
2025 968.7   
Total principal payments $ 1,234.4   
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge or dissolve, make investments, dispose of assets, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make distributions and dividends and prepayments of junior indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into restrictive agreements, amend documentation governing junior indebtedness, modify its fiscal year and modify its organizational documents, in each case, subject to customary exceptions, thresholds, qualifications and “baskets.” In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial performance covenants, which require the Company to maintain (i) a maximum total net leverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no greater than 5.25 to 1.00, which steps down to (x) 5.00 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2020 and (y) 4.50 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2021 (subject to a customary “acquisition holiday” provision that allows the maximum total net leverage ratio to increase to 5.00 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarter period ending on or following the date of a permitted acquisition by the Company in excess of $100 million), and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of April 30, 2020, and for the period then ended.
The obligations of HealthEquity under the Credit Agreement are required to be unconditionally guaranteed by WageWorks and each of the Company's subsequently acquired or organized direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and are secured by security interests in substantially all assets of HealthEquity and the guarantors, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions.

Note 9. Income taxes
The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-270, Income Taxes - Interim Reporting, for the computation and presentation of its interim period tax provision. Accordingly, management estimated the effective annual tax rate and applied this rate to the year-to-date pre-tax book income to determine the interim provision for income taxes. For the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million. This resulted in an effective income tax expense rate of 10.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2020, compared with an effective income tax expense rate of 18.4% for the three months ended April 30, 2019. For the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the net impact of discrete tax items caused a 16.8 and 4.5 percentage point benefit, respectively, to the effective income tax rate primarily due to the excess tax benefit on stock-based compensation expense recognized in the provision for income taxes relative to pre-tax book income. Due to significantly lower pre-tax book income during the three months ended April 30, 2020, such excess tax benefit had a greater impact on the effective income tax rate.
As of April 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefit was $9.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, a net unrecognized tax benefit of $0.5 million was recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If recognized, $8.8 million of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the Company's effective tax rate as of April 30, 2020.
The Company files income tax returns with U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions and is not currently under examination with any jurisdiction. As a result of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, the Company remains subject to examination by one or more jurisdictions for tax years after 2000.

Performance restricted stock awards 545    505   
Total stock-based compensation expense $ 7,396    $ 6,028   
Stock award plans
Incentive Plan. The Company grants stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") under the HealthEquity, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the "Incentive Plan"), which provided for the issuance of stock awards to the directors and team members of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of 2.6 million shares of common stock.
In addition, under the Incentive Plan, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan automatically increases on February 1 of each year, beginning as of February 1, 2015 and continuing through and including February 1, 2024, by 3% of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on January 31 of the preceding fiscal year, or a lesser number of shares determined by the board of directors. As of April 30, 2020, 6.5 million shares were available for grant under the Incentive Plan.
-14-

WageWorks Incentive Plan. At the closing of the Acquisition, and in accordance with the merger agreement related to the Acquisition, certain RSUs with respect to WageWorks common stock, granted under WageWorks, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "WageWorks Incentive Plan"), were replaced by the Company and converted into RSUs with respect to 523,318 shares of common stock of the Company. No additional shares were issued under the WageWorks Incentive Plan, and the period during which the remaining 5,255,027 shares were available to be utilized expired on May 26, 2020.
Stock options
Under the terms of the Incentive Plan, the Company has the ability to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to Company team members. Nonqualified stock options may be granted to Company executive officers, other team members, directors and consultants. Such options are to be exercisable at prices, as determined by the board of directors, which must be equal to no less than the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant. Stock options granted under the Incentive Plan generally expire 10 years from the date of issuance, or are forfeited 90 days after termination of employment. Shares of common stock underlying stock options that are forfeited or that expire are returned to the Incentive Plan.
Valuation assumptions. The Company has adopted the provisions of Topic 718, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to team members and directors, based on estimated fair values.
Under Topic 718, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the method of valuation for stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant is affected by the fair value of the stock as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The variables include, but are not limited to, 1) the expected life of the option, 2) the expected volatility of the fair value of the Company's common stock over the term of the award estimated by averaging the Company's historical volatility in addition to published volatilities of a relative peer group, 3) risk-free interest rate, and 4) expected dividends.
The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 was $23.68 and $25.97 per share, respectively. The key input assumptions that were utilized in the valuation of the stock options granted during the periods presented are as follows:
Three months ended April 30,
2020 2019
Expected dividend yield —% —%
Expected stock price volatility 37.97%
35.98% - 36.53%
Risk-free interest rate 1.39%
2.21% - 2.43%
Expected life of options 5.18 years

The Company estimates the expected life of an option using historical option exercise and termination data. Expected volatility is determined using the weighted average volatility of the Company's historical common stock price in addition to published volatilities of publicly traded peer companies. The risk-free interest rate is determined by using published zero coupon rates on treasury notes for each grant date given the expected term of the options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company expects to invest cash in operations.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the estimated fair value of common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
As of April 30, 2020, the weighted-average vesting period of non-vested options expected to vest was approximately 1.3 years; the amount of compensation expense the Company expects to recognize for stock options vesting in future periods is approximately $6.1 million.
Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards
The Company grants RSUs and RSAs to certain team members, officers, and directors under the Incentive Plan. RSUs and RSAs vest upon service-based criteria and performance-based criteria. Generally, service-based RSUs and RSAs vest over a four-year period in equal annual installments commencing upon the first anniversary of the grant date. RSUs and RSAs are valued based on the current value of the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant less the present value of future expected dividends discounted at the risk-free interest rate. The weighted-average fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 was $56.27 and $73.02 per share, respectively.
Performance restricted stock units and awards. In March 2017, the Company awarded 146,964 performance-based RSUs ("PRSUs"). The Company records stock-based compensation related to PRSUs when it is considered probable that the performance conditions will be met. Issuance of the underlying shares occurred during the three months ended April 30, 2020 following approval by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors, based on the level of achievement of the performance goal as measured on January 31, 2020. The performance conditions allowed for a range of vesting from 0% to 150%. The PRSUs vested at 118.1%.
In March 2018, the Company awarded 227,760 performance-based RSAs ("PRSAs"). The Company records stock-based compensation related to PRSAs when it is considered probable that the performance conditions will be met. The underlying shares were issued at 200% of the target level of achievement at the grant date. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Compensation Committee modified the awards by deeming the performance condition related to two-thirds of the awards to be achieved at 100% and creating a new performance condition related to the remaining one-third of the awards to reflect the state of the Company after the Acquisition of WageWorks. The new performance condition is based on the achievement of certain financial criteria measured on January 31, 2021. The modification affected 10 team members and did not result in an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense. The PRSAs cliff vest upon approval by the Compensation Committee. The modified performance condition for the one-third tranche allows for a range of vesting from 0% to 200% based on the level of achievement of the performance condition, and the Company believes it is probable that the PRSAs will vest at least in part. As the underlying shares were issued at grant date, they are subject to clawback based on actual Company performance.
In March 2019, the Company awarded 129,963 PRSUs. The Company records stock-based compensation related to PRSUs when it is considered probable that the performance conditions will be met. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Compensation Committee modified the awards by deeming the performance condition related to one-third of the awards to be achieved at 100% and creating new performance conditions related to the remaining two-thirds of the awards to reflect the state of the Company after the Acquisition of WageWorks. The new performance conditions are based on the achievement of certain financial criteria measured on January 31, 2021 and 2022. The modification affected 12 team members and will result in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $6.6 million, which will be recognized over the remaining service period, adjusted for the level of achievement of the performance conditions and any forfeitures. Prior to the modification, the Company did not believe the PRSUs were likely to vest, and as a result, $2.9 million of previously recorded stock-based compensation expense was reversed during the three months ended April 30, 2020. The PRSUs cliff vest upon approval by the Compensation Committee. The modified performance conditions for the two-thirds tranche allow for a range of vesting from 0% to 200% based on the level of achievement of the new performance conditions, and the Company believes it is probable that the PRSUs will vest at least in part.
During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company awarded 257,680 PRSUs subject to a market condition based on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the Russell 2000 index as measured on January 31, 2023. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine that the grant date fair value of the awards was approximately $19.0 million. Compensation expense is recorded if the service condition is met regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. The market condition allows for a range of vesting from 0% to 200% based on the level of performance achieved. The PRSUs cliff vest upon approval by the Compensation Committee.

For the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the aggregate intrinsic value of RSUs and RSAs vested was $16.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively.
Total unrecorded stock-based compensation expense as of April 30, 2020 associated with RSUs and PRSUs was $109.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years. Total unrecorded stock-based compensation expense as of April 30, 2020 associated with RSAs and PRSAs was $2.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.
Note 11. Fair value
Fair value measurements are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2—inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3—unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions.
Level 1 instruments are valued based on publicly available daily net asset values. Level 1 instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values as of April 30, 2020 due to the short-term nature of these instruments. 
Our long-term debt is considered a Level 2 instrument and is recorded at book value in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our long-term debt reprices frequently due to variable interest rate terms and entails no significant changes in credit risk. As a result, we believe the fair value of our long-term debt approximates carrying value.

Overview
We are a leader and an innovator in providing technology-enabled services platforms that empower consumers to make healthcare saving and spending decisions. Consumers and employers use our platforms to manage tax-advantaged health savings accounts ("HSAs") and other consumer-directed benefits ("CDBs") offered by employers, flexible spending accounts and health reimbursement arrangements (“FSAs” and “HRAs”), Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) administration, commuter and other benefits, compare treatment options and pricing, evaluate and pay healthcare bills, receive personalized benefit information, access remote and telemedicine benefits, earn wellness incentives, and receive investment advice to grow their tax-advantaged healthcare savings.
The core of our offerings is the HSA, a financial account through which consumers spend and save long-term for healthcare expenses on a tax-advantaged basis. As of April 30, 2020, we administered 5.4 million HSAs, with balances totaling $11.5 billion, which we call HSA Assets. Also, as of April 30, 2020, we administered 7.3 million complementary CDBs. We refer to the aggregate number of HSAs and other CDBs on our platforms as Total Accounts, of which we had 12.7 million as of April 30, 2020.
We reach consumers primarily through relationships with their employers, which we call Clients. We reach Clients primarily through a sales force that calls on Clients directly, relationships with benefits brokers and advisors, and integrated partnerships with a network of health plans, benefits administrators, benefits brokers and consultants, and retirement plan recordkeepers, which we call Network Partners.
We have grown our share of the growing HSA market from 4% in calendar year 2010 to 16% in 2019, including by 3% as a result of the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of WageWorks, Inc. ("WageWorks") on August 30, 2019. According to Devenir, today we are the largest HSA provider by accounts and second largest by assets. In addition, we believe we are the largest provider of other CDBs. We seek to differentiate ourselves through our proprietary technology, product breadth, ecosystem connectivity, and service-driven culture. Our proprietary technology is designed to help consumers optimize the value of their HSAs and other CDBs, as they gain confidence and skill in their management of financial responsibility for lifetime healthcare.

Table of Contents
Our ability to engage consumers is enhanced by our platforms’ capacity to securely share data in both directions with others in the health, benefits, and retirement ecosystems, which we call Ecosystem Partners. Our commuter benefits offering also leverages connectivity to an ecosystem of mass transit, ride hailing, and parking providers. These strengths reflect our “DEEP Purple” culture of remarkable service to customers and teammates, achieved by driving excellence, ethics, and process into everything we do.
We earn revenue primarily from three sources: service, custodial, and interchange. We earn service revenue mainly from fees paid by Clients on a recurring per-account per-month basis. We earn custodial revenue mainly from HSA Assets held at our members’ direction in federally insured cash deposits, insurance contracts or mutual funds, and from investment of Client-held funds. We earn interchange revenue mainly from fees paid by merchants on payments that our members make using our physical payment cards and virtual platforms. See “Key components of our results of operations” for additional information on our sources of revenue, including regarding the adverse impacts caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Acquisition of WageWorks
On August 30, 2019, we completed the Acquisition of WageWorks and paid approximately $2.0 billion in cash to WageWorks stockholders, financed through net borrowings of approximately $1.22 billion under a new term loan facility and approximately $816.9 million of cash on hand.
We expect the Acquisition to enable us to increase the number of our employer sales opportunities, the conversion of these opportunities to Clients, and the value of Clients in generating members, HSA Assets and complementary CDBs. WageWorks’ historic strength of selling to employers directly and through health benefits brokers and advisors complements our distribution through health plans, benefit administrators and retirement record-keeping partners. With WageWorks’ CDB capabilities, we are working to provide employers with a single partner for both HSAs and other CDBs, which is preferred by the vast majority of employers according to research conducted for us by Aite Group. For Clients that partner with us in this way, we believe we can produce more value by encouraging both CDB participants to contribute to HSAs and HSA-only members to take advantage of tax savings by increasing their account balances in other CDBs. Accordingly, we believe that there are significant opportunities to expand the scope of services that we provide to our Clients.
The Acquisition has significantly increased the number of our Total Accounts, HSA Assets, Client-held funds, Adjusted EBITDA, total revenue, total cost of revenue, operating expenses, and other financial results. These increases are reflected in the period-over-period results described in this report.
Key factors affecting our performance
We believe that our future performance will be driven by a number of factors, including those identified below. Each of these factors presents both significant opportunities and significant risks to our future performance. See also "Results of Operations - Revenue" for information relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and also the section entitled “Risk factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other reports filed with the SEC.
WageWorks integration
On August 30, 2019, we completed the Acquisition of WageWorks. We are now pursuing a multi-year integration effort that we expect will produce long-term cost savings and revenue synergies. We have identified near-term opportunities, estimated to be approximately $50 million in annualized ongoing net synergies, which we expect to achieve by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Furthermore, we anticipate generating additional revenue synergies over the longer-term as our combined distribution channels and existing client base take advantage of the broader platform and service offerings and as we continue to drive member engagement. We estimate non-recurring costs to achieve these synergies of approximately $80 million to $100 million realized within 24 to 36 months of the closing of the Acquisition, resulting from investment in technology platforms, back-office systems and platform integration, as well as rationalization of cost of operations. As of April 30, 2020, we had incurred a total of approximately $45 million of non-recurring merger integration costs related to the Acquisition of WageWorks.
Structural change in U.S. health insurance
We derive revenue primarily from healthcare-related saving and spending by consumers in the U.S., which are driven by changes in the broader healthcare industry, including the structure of health insurance. The average premium for employer-sponsored health insurance has risen by 22% since 2014 and 54% since 2009, resulting in increased participation in HSA-qualified health plans and HSAs and increased consumer cost-sharing in health insurance more generally. We believe that continued growth in healthcare costs and related factors will spur
-19-

Table of Contents
continued growth in HSA-qualified health plans and HSAs and may encourage policy changes making HSAs or similar vehicles available to new populations such as individuals in Medicare. However, the timing and impact of these and other developments in U.S. healthcare are uncertain. Moreover, changes in healthcare policy, such as proposed "Medicare for all" plans, could materially and adversely affect our business in ways that are difficult to predict.
Trends in U.S. tax law
Tax law has a profound impact on our business. Our offerings to members, Clients, and Network Partners consist primarily of services enabled, mandated, or advantaged by provisions of U.S. tax law and regulations. We believe that the present direction of U.S. tax policy is favorable to our business, as evidenced for example by recent regulatory action and bipartisan policy proposals to expand the availability of HSAs. However, changes in tax policy are speculative, and may affect our business in ways that are difficult to predict.
Our client base
Our business model is based on a B2B2C distribution strategy, meaning that we attract Clients and Network Partners to reach consumers to increase the number of our members with HSA accounts and complementary CDBs. We believe that there are significant opportunities to expand the scope of services that we provide to our current Clients.
Broad distribution footprint
We believe we have a diverse distribution footprint to attract new Clients and Network Partners. Our sales force calls on enterprise and regional employers in industries across the U.S., as well as potential Network Partners from among health plans, benefits administrators, and retirement plan record keepers.
Product breadth
We are the largest custodian and administrator of HSAs (by number of accounts), as well as a market-share leader in each of the major categories of complementary CDBs, including FSAs and HRAs, COBRA and commuter benefits administration. Our Clients and their benefits advisors increasingly seek HSA providers that can deliver an integrated offering of HSAs and complementary CDBs. With our newly acquired CDB capabilities, we can provide employers with a single partner for both HSAs and complementary CDBs, which is preferred by the vast majority of employers, according to research conducted for us by Aite Group. We believe that the combination of HSA and complementary CDB offerings significantly strengthens our value proposition to employers, health benefits brokers and consultants, and Network Partners as a leading single-source provider.
Our proprietary technology platforms
We believe that innovations incorporated in our technology that enable consumers to make healthcare saving and spending decisions and maximize the value of their tax-advantaged benefits differentiate us from our competitors and drive our growth. We plan to build on these innovations by combining our HSA platform with WageWorks' complementary CDB offerings, giving us a full suite of CDB products, and adding to our solutions set and leadership position within the HSA sector. We intend to continue to invest in our technology development to enhance our platforms' capabilities and infrastructure, while maintaining a focus on data security and the privacy of our customers' data. For example, we are making significant investments in our platforms' architecture and related platform infrastructure to improve our transaction processing capabilities and support continued account and transaction growth, as well as in data-driven personalized engagement to help our members spend less, save more, and build wealth for retirement.
Our “DEEP Purple” service culture
The successful healthcare consumer needs education and guidance delivered by people as well as technology. We believe that our "DEEP Purple" culture, which we define as Driving Excellence, Ethics, and Process while providing remarkable service, is a significant factor in our ability to attract and retain customers and to address nimbly, opportunities in the rapidly changing healthcare sector. We make significant efforts to promote and foster DEEP Purple within our workforce. We invest in and intend to continue to invest in human capital through technology-enabled training, career development, and advancement opportunities.
Interest rates
As a non-bank custodian, we contract with federally insured banks, credit unions, and insurance company partners, which we collectively call our Depository Partners, to hold custodial cash assets on behalf of our members. We earn a material portion of our total revenue from interest paid to us by these partners. The lengths of our agreements with Depository Partners generally range from three to five years and may have fixed or variable
-20-

Table of Contents
interest rate terms. The terms of new and renewing agreements may be impacted by the then-prevailing interest rate environment, which in turn is driven by macroeconomic factors and government policies over which we have no control. Such factors, and the response of our competitors to them, also determine the amount of interest retained by our members. We believe that diversification of Depository Partners, varied contract terms and other factors reduce our exposure to short-term fluctuations in prevailing interest rates and mitigate the short-term impact of sustained increases or declines in prevailing interest rates on our custodial revenue. Over longer periods, sustained shifts in prevailing interest rates affect the amount of custodial revenue we can realize on custodial assets and the interest retained by our members.
We expect our custodial revenue to be adversely affected by the interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other market conditions that have caused interest rates to decline significantly and, as a result, funds that we place with our Depository Partners in this environment will receive lower interest rates than we originally expected.
Interest on our long-term debt changes frequently due to variable interest rate terms, and as a result, our interest expense is expected to fluctuate based on changes in prevailing interest rates.
Our competition and industry
Our direct competitors are HSA custodians and other CDB providers. Many of these are state or federally chartered banks and other financial institutions for which we believe technology-based healthcare services are not a core business. Certain of our direct competitors have chosen to exit the market despite increased demand for these services. This has created, and we believe will continue to create, opportunities for us to leverage our technology platforms and capabilities to increase our market share. However, some of our direct competitors (including well-known mutual fund companies such as Fidelity Investments and healthcare service companies such as United Health Group's Optum) are in a position, should they choose, to devote more resources to the development, sale, and support of their products and services than we have at our disposal. In addition, numerous indirect competitors, including benefits administration technology and service providers, partner with banks and other HSA custodians to compete with us. Our Network Partners may also choose to offer competitive services directly, as some health plans have done. Our success depends on our ability to predict and react quickly to these and other industry and competitive dynamics.
As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, we have seen some impact on sales opportunities, with some opportunities delayed or now being held virtually. As an increasing number of companies go out of business, the number of our clients and potential clients would be adversely affected. Increased unemployment may mean that fewer of our members contribute to HSAs, FSAs or other CDBs. We have seen a significant decline in the use of commuter benefits due to many of our members working from home during the outbreak or other impacts from the outbreak, which has negatively impacted both our interchange revenue and service revenue. We have also seen a decline in interchange revenue across all other products. The extent to which the COVID-19 virus will negatively impact our business is highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.
Regulatory environment
Federal law and regulations, including the Affordable Care Act, the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and Department of Labor regulations, and public health regulations that govern the provision of health insurance and provide the tax advantages associated with our products, play a pivotal role in determining our market opportunity. Privacy and data security-related laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, laws governing the provision of investment advice to consumers, such as the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or the Advisers Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, anti-money laundering laws, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all play a similar role in determining our competitive landscape. In addition, state-level regulations also have significant implications for our business in some cases. For example, our subsidiary HealthEquity Trust Company is regulated by the Wyoming Division of Banking, and several states are considering, or have already passed, new privacy regulations that can affect our business. Various states also have laws and regulations that impose additional restrictions on our collection, storage, and use of personally identifiable information. Privacy regulation in particular has become a priority issue in many states, including California, which in 2018 enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act broadly regulating California residents’ personal information and providing California residents with various rights to access and control their data. Our ability to predict and react quickly to relevant legal and regulatory trends and to correctly interpret their market and competitive implications is important to our success.

Our acquisition strategy
In addition to the WageWorks acquisition, we have a successful history of acquiring HSA portfolios from competitors who have chosen to exit the industry and complementary assets and businesses that strengthen our platform. We seek to continue this growth strategy and are regularly engaged in evaluating different opportunities. We have developed an internal capability to source, evaluate, and integrate acquired HSA portfolios. We intend to continue to thoughtfully pursue acquisitions of complementary assets and businesses that we believe will strengthen our platform.
Key financial and operating metrics
Our management regularly reviews a number of key operating and financial metrics to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of our resources, make decisions regarding corporate strategies and evaluate forward-looking projections and trends affecting our business. We discuss certain of these key financial metrics, including revenue, below in the section entitled “Key components of our results of operations.” In addition, we utilize other key metrics as described below.
Total Accounts
The following table sets forth our HSAs, CDBs, and Total Accounts as of and for the periods indicated:
(in thousands, except percentages) April 30, 2020 April 30, 2019 % Change January 31, 2020
HSAs 5,380    4,054    33  % 5,344   
New HSAs from Sales - Quarter-to-date 104    89    17  % 379   
New HSAs from Sales - Year-to-date 104    89    17  % 724   
New HSAs from Acquisitions - Year-to-date —    —    n/a    757   
HSAs with investments 245    177    38  % 220   
CDBs 7,338    670    995  % 7,437   
Total Accounts 12,718    4,724    169  % 12,781   
Average Total Accounts - Quarter-to-date 12,784    4,681    173  % 12,603   
Average Total Accounts - Year-to-date 12,784    4,681    173  % 8,013   
The number of our HSAs and CDBs are key metrics because our revenue is driven by the amount we earn from them. The number of our HSAs increased by approximately 1.3 million, or 33%, from April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020, primarily driven by the HSAs acquired through the Acquisition of WageWorks and other HSA portfolio acquisitions, which contributed approximately 757,000 HSAs. The remainder of the increase was due to further penetration into existing Network Partners and the addition of new Network Partners. The number of our CDBs increased by approximately 6.7 million from April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020, driven by the CDBs acquired through the Acquisition of WageWorks.
HSAs are individually owned portable healthcare accounts. As HSA members transition between employers or health plans, they may no longer be enrolled in an HDHP that qualifies them to continue to make contributions to their HSA.
HSA Assets
The following table sets forth our HSA Assets as of and for the periods indicated:
(in millions, except percentages) April 30, 2020 April 30, 2019 % Change January 31, 2020
HSA cash with yield (1) $ 8,338    $ 6,404    30  % $ 8,301   
HSA cash without yield (2) 386    —    n/a    383   
Total HSA cash 8,724    6,404    36  % 8,684

Table of Contents
Our HSA Assets, which are our HSA members' assets for which we are the custodian or administrator, or from which we generate custodial revenue, consist of the following components: (i) cash deposits, which are deposits with our Depository Partners or other custodians, (ii) custodial cash deposits invested in annuity contracts with our insurance company partners, and (iii) investments in mutual funds through our custodial investment fund partners. We are working to transition HSA cash without yield to HSA cash with yield in fiscal 2021. Measuring our HSA Assets is important because our custodial revenue is directly affected by average daily custodial balances for HSA Assets that are revenue generating.
Our total HSA Assets increased by $3.2 billion, or 38%, from April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020, including $1.7 billion of HSA Assets acquired through the Acquisition of WageWorks and other HSA portfolio acquisitions and $1.5 billion from existing HSA members and new HSA members.
Our HSA investment assets increased by $0.9 billion, or 45%, from April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020, reflecting the Acquisition of WageWorks and our strategy of helping our HSA members build wealth and invest for retirement.

Our Client-held funds are interest-earning deposits from which we generate custodial revenue. These deposits are amounts remitted by Clients and held by us on their behalf to pre-fund and facilitate administration of CDBs. We deposit the Client-held funds with our Depository Partners in interest-bearing, demand deposit accounts that have a floating interest rate and no set term or duration.
Our total Client-held funds increased by $894 million from April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020, due to the Acquisition of WageWorks.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial metric, as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, merger integration expenses, acquisition costs, gains and losses on marketable equity securities, and certain other non-operating items. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and analysts in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and our board of directors because it reflects operating profitability before consideration of non-operating expenses and non-cash expenses, and serves as a basis for comparison against other companies in our industry.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

Our Adjusted EBITDA increased by $24.1 million, or 62%, from $38.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2019 to $63.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the overall growth of our business and by the Acquisition.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Key components of our results of operations
Acquisition of WageWorks
As the Acquisition closed on August 30, 2019, WageWorks' results of operations are included in our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2020, but are not included in our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2019. In addition, the results of operations attributable to WageWorks may not be directly comparable to WageWorks' results of operations reported by WageWorks prior to the Acquisition.
Revenue
We generate revenue from three primary sources: service revenue, custodial revenue, and interchange revenue.
Service revenue.    We earn service revenue from the fees we charge our Network Partners, Clients, and members for the administration services we provide in connection with the HSAs and other CDBs we offer. With respect to our Network Partners and Clients, our fees are generally based on a fixed tiered structure for the duration of the relevant service agreement and are paid to us on a monthly basis. We recognize revenue on a monthly basis as services are rendered to our members and Clients. As a result of the WageWorks Acquisition, service revenue now comprises a majority of our revenue.
Custodial revenue.    We earn custodial revenue primarily from our HSA Assets deposited with our Depository Partners and with our insurance company partners, Client-held funds deposited with our Depository Partners, and recordkeeping fees we earn in respect of mutual funds in which our members invest. We deposit HSA cash with our Depository Partners pursuant to contracts that (i) generally have terms ranging from three to five years, (ii) provide for a fixed or variable interest rate payable on the average daily cash balances deposited with the relevant Depository Partner, and (iii) have minimum and maximum required deposit balances. We deposit the Client-held funds with our Depository Partners in interest-bearing, demand deposit accounts that have a floating interest rate and no set term or duration. We earn custodial revenue on HSA Assets and Client-held funds that is based on the interest rates offered to us by these Depository Partners. In addition, once a member’s HSA cash balance reaches a certain threshold, the member is able to invest his or her HSA Assets in mutual funds through our custodial investment partner. We earn a recordkeeping fee, calculated as a percentage of custodial investments. We are working to transition HSA cash without yield to HSA cash with yield in fiscal 2021.
Interchange revenue.    We earn interchange revenue each time one of our members uses one of our payment cards to make a purchase. This revenue is collected each time a member “swipes” our payment card to pay expenses. We recognize interchange revenue monthly based on reports received from third parties, namely, the card-issuing banks and card processors.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue includes costs related to servicing accounts, managing Client and Network Partner relationships and processing reimbursement claims. Expenditures include personnel-related costs, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, common expense allocations (such as office rent, supplies, and other overhead expenses), new member and participant supplies, and other operating costs related to servicing our members. Other components of cost of revenue include interest retained by members on HSA cash and interchange costs incurred in connection with processing card transactions for our members.
Service costs.    Service costs include the servicing costs described above. Additionally, for new accounts, we incur on-boarding costs associated with the new accounts, such as new member welcome kits, the cost associated with issuance of new payment cards, and costs of marketing materials that we produce for our Network Partners.
-24-

Table of Contents
Custodial costs.    Custodial costs are comprised of interest retained by our HSA members, in respect of HSA cash with yield, and fees we pay to banking consultants whom we use to help secure agreements with our Depository Partners. Interest retained by HSA members is calculated on a tiered basis. The interest rates retained by HSA members can change based on a formula or upon required notice.
Interchange costs.    Interchange costs are comprised of costs we incur in connection with processing payment transactions initiated by our members. Due to the substantiation requirement on FSA/HRA-linked payment card transactions, payment card costs are higher for FSA/HRA card transactions. In addition to fixed per card fees, we are assessed additional transaction costs determined by the amount of the transaction.
Gross profit and gross margin
Our gross profit is our total revenue minus our total cost of revenue, and our gross margin is our gross profit expressed as a percentage of our total revenue. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including interest rates, the amount we charge our Network Partners, Clients, and members, the mix of our sources of revenue, how many services we deliver per account, and payment processing costs per account.
Operating expenses
Sales and marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our sales and marketing staff, including sales commissions for our direct sales force, external agent/broker commission expenses, marketing expenses, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and common expense allocations.
Technology and development.    Technology and development expenses include personnel and related expenses for software development and delivery, information technology, data management, product, and security. Technology and development expenses also include software engineering services, the costs of operating our on-demand technology infrastructure, depreciation, amortization of capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation, and common expense allocations.
General and administrative.    General and administrative expenses include personnel and related expenses of, and professional fees incurred by our executive, finance, legal, internal audit, corporate development, compliance, and people departments. They also include depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and common expense allocations.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets.    Amortization of acquired intangible assets results primarily from intangible assets acquired in connection with business combinations. The assets include acquired customer relationships, acquired developed technology, and acquired trade names and trademarks, which we amortize over the assets' estimated useful lives, estimated to be 10-15 years, 2-5 years, and 3 years, respectively. We also acquired intangible HSA portfolios from third-party custodians. We amortize these assets over the assets’ estimated useful life of 15 years. We evaluate our acquired intangible assets for impairment annually, or at a triggering event.
Merger integration.    Merger integration expenses include personnel and related expenses, including severance, professional fees, and technology-related expenses directly related to the integration activities to merge operations as a result of the Acquisition.
Interest expense
Interest expense consists of accrued interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs associated with our credit agreement. Interest on our long-term debt changes frequently due to variable interest rate terms, and as a result, our interest expense is expected to fluctuate based on changes in prevailing interest rates.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net, primarily consists of acquisition costs, gains and losses on marketable equity securities, and non-income-based taxes, less interest income earned on corporate cash.
Income tax provision
We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States based on a calendar tax year-end through December 31, 2019; however, beginning January 31, 2020, the Company will report for federal and state income tax purposes using a January 31 year-end, consistent with the financial reporting fiscal year. We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes, under which current tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on the tax returns for the current fiscal year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement

Table of Contents
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, net operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of April 30, 2020, we have recorded an overall net deferred tax liability with the exception of an insignificant amount of federal capital losses recorded as a net deferred tax asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Comparison of the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019
Impact of Acquisition
The comparability of our operating results is impacted by our Acquisition of WageWorks on August 30, 2019. Revenue and expense attributable to us or WageWorks generally may not be separately identifiable due to the integration of WageWorks into our existing operations.
Revenue
The following table sets forth our revenue for the periods indicated:
Three months ended April 30,
(in thousands, except percentages) 2020 2019 $ Change % Change
Service revenue $ 111,271    $ 26,808    $ 84,463    315  %
Custodial revenue 46,899    41,952    4,947    12  %
Interchange revenue 31,841    18,292    13,549    74  %
Total revenue $ 190,011    $ 87,052    $ 102,959    118  %
Service revenue. The $84.5 million, or 315%, increase in service revenue from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily due to the inclusion of service revenue associated with the CDBs added through the Acquisition, partially offset by the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on service revenues related to commuter benefits and other CDBs.
The number of our HSAs increased by approximately 1.3 million, or 33%, from April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020, primarily due to acquiring approximately 757,000 HSAs through the Acquisition of WageWorks and other portfolio acquisitions. The remainder of the increase was due to further penetration into existing Network Partners and the addition of new Network Partners.
Service revenue as a percentage of our total revenue increased primarily due the service revenue contributed by CDBs added through the Acquisition of WageWorks.
Custodial revenue. The $4.9 million, or 12%, increase in custodial revenue from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in the year-over-year average daily balance of HSA cash with yield of $1.9 billion, or 29%. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in yield from 2.53% for the three months ended April 30, 2019 to 2.12% for the three months ended April 30, 2020, which was due in part to the interest rate cuts made by the Federal Reserve in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and due to the lower yield on HSA cash with yield added through the Acquisition.
Custodial revenue as a percentage of our total revenue decreased primarily due to the inclusion of WageWorks' financial results following the Acquisition, which included relatively less custodial revenue.
Over the course of fiscal 2021, we intend to move the majority of HSA cash without yield to HSA cash with yield. This cash will be placed with our Depository Partners at prevailing interest rates, which we expect will generate additional custodial revenue.
Interchange revenue. The $13.5 million, or 74%, increase in interchange revenue from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily due to the inclusion of interchange revenue associated with the CDBs added through the Acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in spend per CDB, primarily with respect to FSA and commuter benefit accounts, as well as lower healthcare spending, during the three months ended April 30, 2020 due to decreased card spend partially attributable to the restrictions imposed by local governments around the country in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
-26-

Table of Contents
Total revenue. Total revenue increased by $103.0 million, or 118%, from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020, due to the impact of the WageWorks acquisition and related realized net revenue synergies.
Impact of COVID-19. We expect our business to continue to be adversely affected by the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, including as a result of the associated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and other market conditions that have caused interest rates to decline significantly and, as a result, funds that we place with our depository partners in this environment will receive lower interest rates than we originally expected. Sales opportunities have also been impacted, with some opportunities delayed or now being held virtually. As an increasing number of companies go out of business, the number of our clients and potential clients would be adversely affected. Increased unemployment may mean that fewer of our members contribute to HSAs, FSAs or other CDBs. We may be unable to meet our service level commitments to our clients as a result of disruptions to our work force and disruptions to third part contracts that we rely on to provide our services. Our financial results related to certain of our products may be adversely affected, such as commuter benefits, due to many of our members working from home during the outbreak or other impacts from the outbreak. Clients may be unable to pay fees required under contracts and exercise "force majeure" or similar defenses, which would negatively impact our financial results. The extent to which the COVID-19 virus will negatively impact our business remains highly uncertain and as a result may have a material adverse impact on our business and financial results.
Cost of revenue
The following table sets forth our cost of revenue for the periods indicated:
Three months ended April 30,
(in thousands, except percentages) 2020 2019 $ Change % Change
Service costs $ 71,013    $ 20,649    $ 50,364    244  %
Custodial costs 5,045    4,123    922    22  %
Interchange costs 5,879    4,527    1,352    30  %
Total cost of revenue $ 81,937    $ 29,299    $ 52,638    180  %
Service costs. The $50.4 million, or 244%, increase in service costs from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily due to the Acquisition and the resulting higher volume of accounts being serviced, including additional hiring of personnel to implement and support our new Network Partners and HSAs, increases in stock-based compensation expense, and increases in other expenses.
Custodial costs. The $0.9 million, or 22%, increase in custodial costs from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was due to an increase in the average daily balance of HSA cash with yield, which increased from $6.4 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2019 to $8.3 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The increase was partially offset by a lower average interest rate paid on HSA assets with yield, which decreased from 0.23% for the three months ended April 30, 2019 to 0.21% for the three months ended April 30, 2020.
Interchange costs. The $1.4 million, or 30%, increase in interchange costs for the three months ended April 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was due to an overall increase in average Total Accounts, which increased primarily due to accounts added through the Acquisition of WageWorks, partially offset by decreased card spend per average account.
Total cost of revenue. As we continue to add Total Accounts, we expect that our cost of revenue will increase in dollar amount to support our Network Partners, Clients, and members. Cost of revenue will continue to be affected by a number of different factors, including our ability to scale our service delivery, Network Partner implementation and account management functions.

Operating expenses
The following table sets forth our operating expenses for the periods indicated:
Three months ended April 30,
(in thousands, except percentages) 2020 2019 $ Change % Change
Sales and marketing $ 11,455    $ 8,970    $ 2,485    28  %
Technology and development 31,078    10,905    20,173    185  %
General and administrative 18,998    8,709    10,289    118  %
Amortization of acquired intangible assets 18,702    1,491    17,211    1,154  %
Merger integration 12,770    —    12,770    n/a   
Total operating expenses $ 93,003    $ 30,075    $ 62,928    209  %
Sales and marketing. The $2.5 million, or 28%, increase in sales and marketing expense from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily due to increased staffing, increases in other expenses, and higher stock-based compensation expense resulting from the Acquisition.
We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to increase the size of our sales and marketing organization and expand into new markets. On an annual basis, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to remain steady as a percentage of our total revenue. However, our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our sales and marketing expenses.
Technology and development. The $20.2 million, or 185%, increase in technology and development expense from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily due to increased personnel-related expense, increases in professional fees, increased stock-based compensation expense, increases in amortization and depreciation, and other increases resulting from the Acquisition, which were partially offset by increases in capitalized development.
We expect our technology and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the development and security of our proprietary platforms. On an annual basis, we expect our technology and development expenses to increase as a percentage of our total revenue pursuant to our growth initiatives. Our technology and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our technology and development expenses.
General and administrative. The $10.3 million, or 118%, increase in general and administrative expense from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily due to increased personnel-related expense, increases in professional fees, and increased stock-based compensation expense resulting from the Acquisition.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future due to the additional demands on our legal, compliance, accounting, and insurance functions that we incur as we continue to grow our business, as well as other costs associated with being a public company. On an annual basis, we expect our general and administrative expenses to remain steady as a percentage of our total revenue over the near term pursuant to our growth initiatives. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our general and administrative expenses.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. The $17.2 million increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets from the three months ended April 30, 2019 to the three months ended April 30, 2020 was due to identified intangible assets acquired through the Acquisition of WageWorks.
Merger integration. The $12.8 million in merger integration expense for the three months ended April 30, 2020 was due to personnel and related expenses, including expenses incurred in conjunction with the migration of accounts, severance, professional fees, technology-related, and facilities expenses directly related to the Acquisition of WageWorks. We expect integration expenses totaling $80 million to $100 million in the aggregate to continue for 24 to 36 months following the closing of the Acquisition, which closed on August 30, 2019. As of April 30, 2020, we had incurred a total of approximately $45 million of non-recurring merger integration costs related to the Acquisition of WageWorks.
-28-

Table of Contents
Interest expense
The $12.3 million in interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 2020 consists primarily of interest accrued under our term loan facility and amortization of financing costs. We expect interest expense to decrease as a result of interest rate cuts made by the Federal Reserve in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and principal repayments required pursuant to our credit agreement.
Other income (expense), net
The $24.4 million change in other income (expense), net, from income of $23.7 million during the three months ended April 30, 2019 to expense of $0.8 million during the three months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily due to a $23.5 million gain in connection with our equity investment in WageWorks during the three months ended April 30, 2019. The remainder of the change was due to a decrease in interest income of $0.7 million, a decrease in acquisition costs of $1.1 million, and an increase in other expense of $1.3 million.
Income tax provision
Income tax provision for the three months ended April 30, 2020 was $0.2 million as compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2019. The decrease in the tax provision for the three months ended April 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2019 of $9.3 million was primarily due to a significant decrease in pre-tax book income netted with a decrease of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation expense recognized in the provision for income taxes.
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2020 was a provision of 10.7%, compared to a provision of 18.4% for the three months ended April 30, 2019. The 7.7 percentage point decrease for the three months ended April 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2019 was primarily due to the impact of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation expense recognized in the provision for income taxes relative to pre-tax book income.
Seasonality
Seasonal concentration of our growth combined with our recurring revenue model create seasonal variation in our results of operations. Revenue results are seasonally impacted due to ancillary service fees, timing of HSA contributions, and timing of card spend. Cost of Revenue is seasonally impacted as a significant number of new and existing Network Partners bring us new HSAs and CDBs beginning in January of each year concurrent with the start of many employers’ benefit plan years. Before we realize any revenue from these new accounts, we incur costs related to implementing and supporting our new Network Partners and new accounts. These costs of services relate to activating accounts and hiring additional staff, including seasonal help to support our member support center. These expenses begin to ramp up during our third fiscal quarter with the majority of expenses incurred in our fourth fiscal quarter.
Liquidity and capital resources
Cash and cash equivalents overview
Our principal source of liquidity is our current cash and cash equivalents balances, collections from our service, custodial, and interchange revenue activities, and availability under our revolving credit facility described below. We rely on cash provided by operating activities to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, which primarily relate to the payment of corporate payroll and other operating costs, payments under our term loan facility, and capital expenditures.
As of April 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $171.1 million and $191.7 million, respectively.
Capital resources
We have a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the SEC. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows us at any time to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, we would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, working capital, sales and marketing activities, general and administrative matters and capital expenditures, and if opportunities arise, for the acquisition of, or investment in, assets, technologies, solutions or businesses that complement our business. Pending such uses, we may invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing securities. In addition, we may conduct concurrent or other financings at any time.

Table of Contents
Our credit agreement includes a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million, which may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the financing of acquisitions and other investments. For a description of the terms of the credit agreement, refer to Note 8—Indebtedness. We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement as of April 30, 2020.
Use of cash
Capital expenditures for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 were $19.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively. We expect to continue our current level of increased capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021 as we continue to devote a significant amount of our capital expenditures to improving the architecture and functionality of our proprietary systems. Costs to improve the architecture of our proprietary systems include computer hardware, personnel and related costs for software engineering and outsourced software engineering services.
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, and revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. To the extent these current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required, we may not be able to raise it on favorable terms, if at all.
The following table shows our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the stated periods:
Three months ended April 30,
(in thousands) 2020 2019

Cash flows used in investing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2019 was primarily the result of purchases of marketable equity securities of $53.8 million. In addition, we invested $5.5 million in software and capitalized software development, $1.1 million in purchases of property and equipment, and $1.3 million in acquisitions of intangible member assets.
Cash flows from financing activities. Cash flow used in financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2020 resulted from $7.8 million of principal payments on our long-term debt and $3.8 million used in the settlement of client-held funds obligation, partially offset by $1.2 million of proceeds associated with the exercise of stock options.
Cash flows provided by financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2019 resulted from proceeds associated with the exercise of stock options of $4.2 million.

Contractual obligations
There were no material changes during the three months ended April 30, 2020, outside of the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of April 30, 2020, other than outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. The majority of the standby letters of credit expire within one year. However, in the ordinary course of business, we will continue to renew or modify the terms of the letters of credit to support business requirements. The letters of credit are contingent liabilities, supported by our revolving credit facility, and are not reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Critical accounting policies and significant management estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020. There have been no significant or material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended April 30, 2020, as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations – Critical accounting policies and significant management estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.
Recent accounting pronouncements
See Note 1. Summary of business and significant accounting policies within the interim financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion.
Item 3. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures about market risk
Market risk
Concentration of market risk. We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from providing services to tax-advantaged healthcare account holders. A significant downturn in this market or changes in state and/or federal laws impacting the preferential tax treatment of healthcare accounts such as HSAs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. During the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, no one customer accounted for greater than 10% of our total revenue. We monitor market and regulatory changes regularly and make adjustments to our business if necessary.
Inflation. Inflationary factors may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of expenses as a percentage of revenue if our revenue does not correspondingly increase with inflation.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in bank and other depository accounts, which frequently may exceed federally insured limits. Our cash and cash equivalents as of April 30, 2020 were $171.1 million, of which $2.3 million was covered by federal depository insurance. We have not experienced any material losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents. Our accounts receivable balance as of April 30, 2020 was $69.8 million. We have not experienced any significant write-offs to our accounts receivable and believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk with respect to our accounts receivable; however, the extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will negatively
-31-

impact our credit risk is highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. We continue to monitor our credit risk and place our cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions.
Interest rate risk
HSA Assets and Client-held funds. Our HSA Assets consists of custodial HSA funds we hold in custody on behalf of our members. As of April 30, 2020, we had HSA Assets of approximately $11.5 billion. As a non-bank custodian, we contract with our Depository Partners and insurance company partners to hold custodial cash assets on behalf of our members, and we earn a significant portion of our total revenue from interest paid to us by these partners. The contract terms generally range from three to five years and have either fixed or variable interest rates. As our HSA Assets increase and existing contracts expire, we seek to enter into new contracts with Depository Partners, the terms of which are impacted by the then-prevailing interest rate environment. The diversification of deposits among Depository Partners and varied contract terms substantially reduces our exposure to short-term fluctuations in prevailing interest rates and mitigates the short-term impact of a sustained increase or decline in prevailing interest rates on our custodial revenue. A sustained decline in prevailing interest rates may negatively affect our business by reducing the size of the interest rate yield, or yield, available to us and thus the amount of the custodial revenue we can realize. Conversely, a sustained increase in prevailing interest rates can increase our yield. An increase in our yield would increase our custodial revenue as a percentage of total revenue. In addition, if our yield increases, we expect the spread to also increase between the interest offered to us by our Depository Partners and the interest retained by our members, thus increasing our profitability. However, we may be required to increase the interest retained by our members in a rising prevailing interest rate environment. Changes in prevailing interest rates are driven by macroeconomic trends and government policies over which we have no control, such as the interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Our Client-held funds are interest earning deposits from which we generate custodial revenue. As of April 30, 2020, we had Client-held funds of approximately $894.0 million. These deposits are amounts remitted by Clients and held by us on their behalf to pre-fund and facilitate administration of our other CDBs. These deposits are held with Depository Partners. We deposit the Client-held funds with our Depository Partners in interest-bearing, demand deposit accounts that have a floating interest rate and no set term or duration. A sustained decline in prevailing interest rates may negatively affect our business by reducing the size of the yield, available to us and thus the amount of the custodial revenue we can realize from Client-held funds. Changes in prevailing interest rates are driven by macroeconomic trends and government policies over which we have no control.
Cash and cash equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be unrestricted cash equivalents. Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held in institutions in the U.S. and include deposits in a money market account that is unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. As of April 30, 2020, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $171.1 million. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents as a result of changes in interest rates.
Credit agreement. As of April 30, 2020, we had $1.23 billion outstanding under our term loan facility and no amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility.  Our overall interest rate sensitivity under these credit facilities is primarily influenced by any amounts borrowed and the prevailing interest rates on these instruments.  The interest rate on our term loan credit facility and revolving credit facility is variable and was 2.15 percent at April 30, 2020.  Accordingly, we may incur additional expense if interest rates increase in future periods.  For example, a one percent increase in the interest rate on the amount outstanding under our credit facilities at April 30, 2020 would result in approximately $12.4 million of additional interest expense over the next 12 months. 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated
-32-

and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on such evaluation, and subject to the below exclusion, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of April 30, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
In accordance with interpretive guidance issued by SEC staff, companies are allowed to exclude acquired businesses from the assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year after completion of an acquisition and from the assessment of disclosure controls and procedures to the extent subsumed in such internal control over financial reporting (the “Internal Controls Guidance”). In accordance with the Internal Controls Guidance, as the Company acquired WageWorks on August 30, 2019, management's evaluation and conclusion as to the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2020 excluded the portion of disclosure controls and procedures that are subsumed by internal control over financial reporting of WageWorks. WageWorks’ assets represented approximately 10% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, excluding the effects of purchase accounting, and its revenues represented approximately 51% of the Company's consolidated total revenues, each as of and for the quarter ended April 30, 2020.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management determined the following material weaknesses existed as of April 30, 2020, all of which were disclosed previously by WageWorks in Item 9A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Control Environment, Risk Assessment, Control Activities, Information and Communication, and Monitoring Activities
There was an inadequate open flow, transparency, communication and dissemination of relevant and pertinent information from former WageWorks senior management concerning a complex transaction with the federal government that contributed to an ineffective control environment driven by the tone at the top. WageWorks management’s failure to timely communicate all pertinent information resulted in an environment which led to errors in the WageWorks financial statements as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
It was noted that WageWorks did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting related to the following areas: control environment, risk assessment, control activities information and communication, and monitoring activities:
WageWorks did not have processes and controls to ensure there were adequate mechanisms and oversight to ensure accountability for the performance of internal control over financial reporting responsibilities and to ensure corrective actions were appropriately prioritized and implemented in a timely manner.
WageWorks did not effectively execute a strategy to attract, develop and retain a sufficient complement of qualified resources with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in certain areas important to financial reporting.
There was not an adequate assessment of changes in risks by management that could significantly impact internal control over financial reporting or an adequate determination and prioritization of how those risks should be managed.
WageWorks did not have adequate management oversight of accounting and financial reporting activities in implementing certain accounting practices to conform to its policies and GAAP.
WageWorks did not have adequate management oversight around completeness and accuracy of data material to financial reporting.
There was a lack of robust, established and documented accounting policies and insufficiently detailed procedures to put these policies into effective action.
WageWorks was not focused on a commitment to competency as it relates to creating priorities, allocating adequate resources and establishing cross functional procedures around managing complex contracts and non-routine transactions as well as managing change and attracting, developing and retaining qualified resources.
-33-

Table of Contents
These deficiencies in WageWorks' internal control over financial reporting contributed to the following identified material weaknesses:
A. Accounting Close and Financial Reporting
WageWorks had inadequate or ineffective senior accounting leadership and corresponding process level and monitoring controls in the area of accounting close and financial reporting specifically, but not exclusively, around the review of account reconciliations, account estimates and related cut-off, and monitoring of the accounting close cycle and some areas of related sub-processes such as equity. WageWorks also did not have effective business processes and controls to conduct an effective review of manual data feeds into journal entries for platforms which were not integrated with the main enterprise resource planning system.
WageWorks did not have robust, established and documented accounting policies that were implemented effectively, which led to adjustments in areas such as, but not exclusive to, impairment of internally developed software (IDS) and unclaimed liability. As a result of these adjustments, the accounts related to amortization of IDS, fixed assets, and operating expenses as they relate to interest and penalties were impacted.
WageWorks also did not have a robust process around managing change and corresponding assessment and implementation of accounting policies. Furthermore, it also resulted in the delayed assessment and design of controls for the timely implementation of controls around Accounting Standard 606 (ASC 606) for Revenue Recognition, which was effective January 2018. These gaps resulted in several adjustments in the WageWorks financial statements as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
B. Contract to Cash Process
WageWorks did not have effective controls around the contract-to-cash life cycle. The root cause of these gaps were due to inadequate or ineffective process level controls around billing set-up during customer implementation, managing change to existing customer billing terms and conditions, timely termination of customers, implementing complex and/or non-standard billing arrangements which require manual intervention or manual controls for billing to customers, processing timely adjustments, lack of robust, established and documented policies to assess collectability and reserve for revenue, bad debts and accounts receivable, and availability of customer contracts.
These gaps resulted in several adjustments in revenue, accounts receivable, and accounts receivable reserves in the WageWorks financial statements as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
C. Risk Assessment and Management of Change
WageWorks did not maintain an effective risk assessment and monitoring process to manage the expansion of its business. Hence, there were inadequate and ineffective business and financial reporting control activities associated with change and growth in the business. Among other areas, the assessment of the control environment and the design of manual controls around financial system implementations was not performed adequately.
As a result, WageWorks did not properly estimate, reserve and record certain transactions that resulted in errors in the WageWorks financial statements as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
D. Review of New, Unusual or Significant Transactions and Contracts
WageWorks did not have adequate risk assessment controls to continuously formally assess the financial reporting risks associated with executing new, significant or unusual transactions, contracts or business initiatives. As a result, WageWorks did not adequately identify and analyze changes in the business and hence implement effective process level controls and monitoring controls that were responsive to these changes and aligned with financial reporting objectives. This failure to identify and analyze changes occurred in connection with the integration of acquisitions and the monitoring and recording of certain revenues associated with a complex government contract. As a result, WageWorks did not properly account for certain transactions including revenue and customer obligation accounts, which resulted in errors in the WageWorks financial statements as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
E. Manual Reconciliations of High-Volume Standard Transactions
WageWorks did not have effective business processes and controls as well as resources with adequate training and support to conduct an effective review of manual reconciliations including the complex data feeds into the reconciliations of high-volume standard transactions. This resulted in several errors mainly to balance sheet classifications around accounts receivable, customer obligations and other related accounts as of December 31, 2018.

-34-

Table of Contents
F. Information Technology General Controls (ITGC)
WageWorks did not have effective controls related to information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the areas of logical access and change-management over certain information technology (IT) systems that supported its financial reporting processes. WageWorks’ business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted. WageWorks believed that these control deficiencies were a result of IT control processes having an inadequate risk-assessment process to identify and assess changes in business environment which would impact IT environments related to internal control over financial reporting. Hence, the control design, implementation, and documentation were not enhanced to adapt to the changing business environment. There was also insufficient training of IT personnel on how to design and implement ITGCs.
These material weaknesses and other deficiencies could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim condensed consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Efforts
The Company continues to assess the impact of the Acquisition on its internal control over financial reporting. As part of this assessment, the Company has continued working with an external specialist, has completed a detailed review of all noted controls deficiencies, and is developing a plan to address the underlying control deficiencies associated with the disclosed material weaknesses. The Company has also hired new leadership for its internal audit function.
Further, the Company has begun to design and implement new control activities and enhance existing control activities related to ITGCs. The Company intends to begin testing these control activities once they have been fully implemented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended April 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time-to-time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of our business activities. Our wholly owned subsidiary, WageWorks, is party to certain pending material litigation and other legal proceedings. Except for such matters, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not a party to any litigation whereby the outcome of such litigation, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. For a description of these legal proceedings, see Note 7—Commitments and contingencies of the Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk factors
The risks described in “Risk factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Except as described below, there have been no material changes in such risks. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face, and our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has materially impacted our business and may continue to materially impact our business.
Our business has been, and may continue to be, materially and adversely affected by the current outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. The Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other interest rate market conditions have caused interest rates to decline significantly. As a result, the funds that we place with our depository partners in this environment have been, and are likely to continue to be, placed at, lower interest rates than we originally expected. In addition, stock market declines have negatively impacted HSA investment assets and the related fees we earn from HSA investment assets, and any future declines will also have a negative impact.

Our financial results related to certain of our products have also been adversely affected. For example, we have seen a significant decline in the use of commuter benefits and our members' spend on healthcare, which has negatively impacted both our interchange revenue and service revenue. We have also seen a decline in interchange revenue across all other products. Going forward, some clients may be unable to pay fees required under contracts and exercise "force majeure" or similar defenses, which would negatively impact our financial results.

In addition, as an increasing number of companies go out of business, the number of our clients and potential clients would be adversely affected. Increased unemployment may mean that fewer of our members contribute to HSAs, FSAs or other CDBs. Regulatory changes related to our products, such as COBRA, have created uncertainty and additional workload on our team members, which could reduce our operational efficiency and result in additional costs. In the event our financial results continue to be severely impacted or the impact worsens, it may make it more difficult for us to comply with the financial covenants in our credit agreement, which could result in a breach of the financial covenants and the acceleration of our outstanding debt by our lenders.

As a result of the ongoing pandemic, substantially all of our team members are working from home. Sales opportunities have been impacted by the lack of travel and in-person meetings, with some opportunities delayed or now being held virtually. We may be unable to meet our service level commitments to our clients as a result of disruptions to our work force and disruptions to third-party contractors that we rely on to provide our services. Our team members may be less efficient at home, and it may take additional time for us to pursue significant business initiatives. The risk of cybersecurity breaches and incidents, and the potential impact of these on our operations, is also higher while our team members log in to our network remotely.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact our business remains highly uncertain and, as a result, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business and financial results.

You further hereby acknowledge that your continued compliance with these obligations is a condition of your receiving the Consideration described in paragraph 2 above and upon any breach of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall be entitled to a refund of any portion of your annual bonus for fiscal year 2021 already paid to you as of such date and to clawback any of the shares or proceeds in respect of shares delivered to or received by you in connection with the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit Awards or Restricted Stock Awards, as applicable, or subsequent sale of the corresponding shares of common stock of the Company.

You further acknowledge and agree that the Company shall have no obligation to provide you with the Consideration described in paragraph 2 above unless and until you have satisfied all your obligations pursuant to this paragraph 12.
13.Non-Admission. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of you or any member of the Company Group. Accordingly, this Agreement may not be admissible in any forum as an admission, but only in an action to enforce it.

SUPPLEMENTAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS
This Supplemental Release of Claims (this “Release”) is being executed and delivered as of the date written below next to my name, in accordance with paragraph 6 of the Transition, Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) delivered to me on February 13, 2020, with HealthEquity, Inc.

As used in this Release, the term “claims” includes all claims, covenants, warranties, promises, undertakings, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, accounts, attorneys’ fees, judgments, losses and liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, in law, equity or otherwise.
For and in consideration of the Company’s agreement to provide me with the Consideration (as defined in the Separation Agreement), and other good and valuable consideration, I, Ashley Dreier, for and on behalf of myself and my heirs, administrators, executors and assigns, effective as of the date on which this Release becomes effective pursuant to its terms, do fully and forever release, remise and discharge each of the Company, its direct and indirect subsidiary companies and affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) and their successors and assigns, together with their respective current and former officers, directors, partners, members, stockholders, employees and agents (collectively, and with the Company, the “Company Parties”) from any and all claims whatsoever up to the date hereof that I had, may have had, or now have against the Company Parties, whether known or unknown, for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to my employment or the termination of my employment with the Company or any member of the Company Group, whether for tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, infliction of emotional distress, retaliation, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel or slander, or under any federal, state or local law dealing with discrimination based on age, race, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation, or any other class protected under applicable law.

I intend the release contained herein to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest extent permissible by law and for the provisions regarding the release of claims against the Company Parties to be construed as broadly as possible, and hereby incorporate in this release similar federal, state or other laws, all of which I also hereby expressly waive.
I understand and agree that claims or facts in addition to or different from those which are now known or believed by me to exist may hereafter be discovered, but it is my intention to fully and forever release, remise and discharge all claims which I had, may have had, or now have against the Company Parties, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, contingent or noncontingent, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts. Without limiting the foregoing, by signing this Release, I expressly waive and release any provision of law that purports to limit the scope of a general release.
