Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 4, 2026TL;DR. eHealth (EHTH) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $33.6M, down 45% YoY, as it deliberately reduced marketing spend outside major enrollment periods to focus advisors on its newly launched lifetime advisory model. The company reiterated full-year 2026 guidance ranges for revenue, GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow, while updating net adjustment (tail) revenue guidance to $16M–$20M (from $8M–$20M) to reflect the $7.6M of Q2 tail revenue.
- + Reiterated full-year 2026 guidance ranges for revenue, GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow and raised net adjustment revenue outlook to $16M–$20M from $8M–$20M.
- + Operating cash flow improved $36.2M year-over-year in Q2 to $(5.0)M vs. $(41.2)M, supporting meaningful YoY operating cash flow improvement for the year.
- + Q2 ancillary product cross-sell rates doubled YoY and other member engagement metrics improved, providing early validation of the new lifetime advisory model launched in Q2.
- + Non-GAAP operating expenses declined 25% YoY in Q2, on track for >$60M variable and ~$30M fixed annual cost savings vs. prior year.
- + Positive net adjustment (tail) revenue of $7.6M in Q2, bringing cumulative tail revenue to $284M since 2018, and commissions receivable grew 10% YoY to $1.0B.
- − Q2 total revenue fell 45% YoY to $33.6M and Medicare segment revenue fell 45% YoY to $31.8M, driven by lower Medicare enrollment volume and lower tail revenue.
- − GAAP net loss widened to $(23.6)M from $(17.4)M and adjusted EBITDA loss deepened to $(21.8)M from $(14.1)M year-over-year.
- − Management expects an even greater YoY decline in Q3 enrollment volume and revenue than the 45% Q2 marketing cut, as the majority of marketing spend is deferred to Q4 AEP.
- − Medicare segment gross profit fell 69% YoY to $6.0M from $19.1M, with $10.0M of the decline attributable to lower tail revenue.
