SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
—SelectQuote, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “SelectQuote”) contracts with insurance carriers to sell senior health, life, and auto and home insurance policies by telephone to individuals throughout the United States through the use of multi-channel marketing and advertising campaigns. The Company obtains leads from, among other sources, InsideResponse, a wholly-owned subsidiary that provides sales leads to the consumer insurance industry. The Company also coordinates various healthcare-related services through its Population Health platform, which includes SelectRx, a closed-door, long-term care pharmacy that offers pharmacy services, including essential prescription medications, OTC medications, customized medication packaging, medication therapy management, and other consultative services under the Patient Centered Pharmacy Home (PCPH) model. SelectQuote’s Senior division sells Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Part D, and other ancillary senior health insurance related products, and along with Population Health and InsideResponse, is referred to as “Senior”. SelectQuote’s Life division (“Life”) sells term life, final expense, and other ancillary products, and SelectQuote’s Auto & Home division (“Auto & Home”) primarily sells non-commercial auto and home property and casualty insurance products. SelectQuote’s licensed insurance agents provide comparative rates from a variety of insurance carriers relying on our technology distribution channel with a combination of proprietary and commercially available software to perform its quote service and sell insurance policies on behalf of the insurance carriers. The Company primarily earns revenue in the form of commission payments from the insurance carriers. Commission payments are received both when the initial policy is sold (“first year”) and when the underlying policyholder renews their policy in subsequent years (“renewal”). The Company also receives certain volume-based bonuses from some carriers on first-year policies sold based on attaining various predetermined target sales levels or other agreed upon objectives. These bonuses are referred to as “production bonuses” or “marketing development funds.” Additionally, the Company earns revenue from its Population Health platform, including mail-order prescription revenue from SelectRx, and lead generation revenue from InsideResponse.
Basis of Presentation
—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SelectQuote, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries: SelectQuote Insurance Services, SelectQuote Auto & Home Insurance Services, LLC (“SQAH”), ChoiceMark Insurance Services, Inc., Tiburon Insurance Services, InsideResponse, LLC, and SelectQuote Ventures, Inc. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in our A
nnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on
February 14, 2022
(the “2021 Annual Report”)
and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position for the periods presented. Our results for the periods presented in our financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period, including for the year ending June 30, 2022, and therefore should not be relied upon as an indicator of future results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform with current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
—The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The most significant items involving management’s estimates include estimates of
revenue recognition, commissions receivable, the provision for income taxes, share-based compensation, and valuation of intangible assets and goodwill. The impact of changes in estimates is recorded in the period in which they become known.
Seasonality
—Medicare-eligible individuals are permitted to change their Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage for the following year during the Medicare annual enrollment period (“AEP”), which runs from October through December each year, and are allowed to switch plans from an existing plan during the open enrollment period (“OEP”), which runs from January through March each year. As a result, commission revenue for our Senior segment is highest in the second quarter and to a lesser extent, the third quarter during OEP. Most policies sold during AEP are effective as of and renew annually on January 1.
Significant Accounting Policies
—There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in our 2021 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
—In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-08,
Business Combinations (Topic 805):
Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
, which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. Prior to this ASU, an acquirer generally recognizes contract assets acquired and contract liabilities assumed that arose from contracts with customers at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment (or if adopted early as of an interim period, as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application). The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance, which will depend on the contract assets and liabilities acquired in future business combinations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
—In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
, which simplifies and changes the accounting for certain income tax transactions, among other minor improvements. This standard was effective for the Company on July 1, 2021 and did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements
—Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company discovered that the provision for first year commission revenue for certain final expense policies offered by one of its insurance carrier partners should have been accrued based on a higher lapse rate. The error in the lapse rate resulted in commission revenue being misstated by $
6.1
million and $
2.0
million, for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $
2.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Accounts receivable was misstated by $
8.1
million and $
2.0
million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impact of the error on net income for the year ended June 30, 2021 was a decrease of $
4.8
million. Management has evaluated this misstatement and concluded it was not material to prior periods, individually or in aggregate. However, correcting the cumulative effect of the error in the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 would have had a significant effect on the results of operations. Therefore, the Company is correcting the relevant prior period condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for this error for comparative purposes. The Company will also correct previously reported financial information for such immaterial errors in future filings, as applicable (see “Part II, Item 5. Other Information” below for additional information).
The following table reflects the effects of the correction on all affected line items of the Company’s previously reported condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which will be corrected in future filings:

ACQUISITIONS
In accordance with ASC Topic 805,
Business Combinations
, the Company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities, and intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Any excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill.
The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired is supported by valuations using estimates and assumptions provided by management. Based on the valuation inputs, the Company has recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
Lead distribution company
—On February 1, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of a lead distribution company for an aggregate purchase price of up to $
33.5
million (subject to customary
adjustments), as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated February 1, 2021 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The purchase price is comprised of $
30.0
million, of which $
24.0
million was paid in cash at the closing of the transaction, with an additional $
6.0
million of holdback for indemnification claims, net working capital adjustments, and underperformance. Additionally, the purchase price includes an earnout of up to $
3.5
million. The primary purpose of the acquisition was to secure and incorporate the exclusive publisher relationships into the lead generation business of InsideResponse. The Company recorded $
0.4
million of acquisition-related costs in general and administrative operating costs and expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
During calendar year 2021, the lead distribution company did not achieve the minimum earnout target as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement; as a result, the earnout payment, which was contingent upon continued employment of certain individuals, will not be paid. However, the remaining holdback was earned in full, as the lead distribution company did not fall below the underperformance thresholds as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company will accrue interest on the remaining holdback of $
5.5
million, after the net working capital true-up of $
0.5
million, through the
15
-month anniversary of the closing date in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

At the date of acquisition, the fair value of net tangible assets acquired approximated their carrying value. The non-compete agreements were valued using the income approach, and the customer relationships were valued using the multiple period excess earnings method. As such, all aforementioned intangible assets were valued using Level 3 inputs.
Goodwill resulting from the transaction constitutes the excess of the consideration paid over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and primarily represents the benefits of leveraging the exclusive publisher relationships in the business. This acquired goodwill is allocated to Senior (which is also the reporting unit), and is not deductible for tax purposes after adding back acquisition costs and excluding the holdback not yet paid.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
The Company will amortize the intangible assets acquired on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining lives, ranging from
five
to

.
Express Med Pharmaceuticals
—On April 30, 2021, the Company acquired
100
% of the outstanding shares of Express Med Pharmaceuticals, Inc., now SelectRx, a
closed-door, long term care pharmacy provider, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $
24.0
million (subject to customary adjustments), as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 30, 2021 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). The aggregate purchase price of up to $
24.0
million is comprised of $
17.5
million in cash paid at the closing of the transaction, an additional $
2.5
million of holdback for indemnification claims, if any, and an earnout of up to $
4.0
million, if any. The primary purpose of the acquisition was to take advantage of the Company's technology and customer base to facilitate better patient care through coordination of strategic, value-based care partnerships. The Company recorded $
0.3
million of acquisition-related costs in general and administrative operating costs and expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. In addition, as a result of the acquisition, the Company has entered into an operating lease with the former President and Chief Executive Officer of Express Med Pharmaceuticals, now our Executive Vice President of SelectRx. Refer to Note 6 in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
The earnout of up to $
4.0
million is comprised of
two
separate provisions. The first provision provides for an earnout of up to $
3.0
million and is contingent upon achievement of the following within the first
20
months following the acquisition: facility updates that would allow for processing a minimum of
75,000
active patients, the issuance of pharmacy licenses in all 50 states, and active patients of
15,000
or more. The second provision provides for an earnout of up to $
1.0
million and is contingent upon achievement of the following within
36
months following the acquisition: construction of a new facility to accommodate the servicing of additional active patients or
75,000
or more active patients as of the last day of any month prior to the end of the second earnout provision period or as of the end of the second earnout provision period. As the earnout payment is contingent upon continued employment of certain individuals, the Company will recognize the earnout as compensation expense in general and administrative operating costs and expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which it is earned. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not accrued an earnout payment based on performance to date. The $
2.5
million of holdback will be due upon the
15
-month anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition.
Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, total consideration in the acquisition consisted of the following as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Base purchase price
$
20,000

)
Closing cash

Total purchase consideration
$
19,537
At the date of acquisition, the fair value of net tangible assets acquired, excluding property and equipment, approximated their carrying value. The property and equipment was valued primarily using the cost and sales comparison approach to value. For the proprietary software acquired, the replacement cost method under the cost approach was used, estimating the cost to rebuild the software. The non-compete agreement was valued using the income approach, and the customer relationships were valued using the multiple period excess earnings method. As such, all aforementioned intangible assets were valued using Level 3 inputs.
Goodwill resulting from the transaction constitutes the excess of the consideration paid over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and primarily represents the additional value of the synergies of combining the SelectRx business with the Company's technology and existing customer base. This acquired goodwill is allocated to Senior (which is also the reporting unit), and the Company expects approximately $
16.3
million to be deductible for tax purposes after adding back acquisition costs and excluding the holdback not yet paid.

Simple Meds
—On August 31, 2021, SelectRx acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Simple Meds, a full-service pharmaceutical distributor, for an aggregate purchase price of $
7.0
million (subject to customary adjustments), as set forth in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2021. The aggregate purchase price of $

The Company's intangible assets include those acquired as part of the acquisitions listed in the table below (refer to Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details). The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. During each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no such indicators.
Goodwill—
The Company recorded as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as part of the acquisitions listed in the table below (refer to Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details). The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of April 1, or more frequently if it believes that indicators of impairment exist. During each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 there were
no
such indicators.
Goodwill is assigned to reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination as of the acquisition date and becomes identified with that reporting unit in its entirety. As such, the reporting unit as a whole supports the recovery of its goodwill.
For the following acquisitions, the reporting units to which goodwill has been assigned and the associated reportable segments are as follows:

LEASES
The majority of the Company’s leases are operating leases related to office space for which the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. The Company leases office facilities in the United States in San Diego, California; Centennial, Colorado; Jacksonville, Florida; Overland Park, Kansas; Wilmington, North Carolina; Des Moines, Iowa; Oakland, California; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Monaca, Pennsylvania (note that SelectRx leases the Monaca facility from an Executive Vice President of SelectRx. The
Company expects to incur $
3.6
million in total rental payments over the initial
ten-year
term plus an additional
five-year
extension option that it is reasonably certain to exercise.) The Company's operating leases have remaining lease terms of less than
one year
up to
fourteen years
.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $

million of undiscounted future payments for operating leases expected to commence between the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with lease terms ranging from
seven
to
ten years
. These amounts are excluded from the tables above and not yet recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On November 5, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement with UMB Bank N.A. (“UMB”) as a lender and revolving agent and Morgan Stanley Capital Administrators, Inc. as a lender and the administrative agent for a syndicate of lenders party to the agreement. On February 24, 2021,
November 2, 2021, and
December 23, 2021, the Company entered into amendments to the credit agreement (
individually,
the “First Amendment”,
“Second Amendment”, and “Third Amendment”
, together with the original credit agreement and any subsequent amendments, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”
) with certain of its existing lenders and new lenders. The First Amendment provided for an additional $
231.0
million in term loans (together with the initial $
425.0
million, the “Term Loans”) and added a $
145.0
million se
nior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the "DDTL Facility")
. The Second Amendment provided for additional commitments of $
25.0
million, in addition to the initial $
75.0
million, for the s
ecured revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”)
and an additional $
200.0
million under the DDTL Facility. The
Third Amendment provided for additional commitments of $
35.0
million under the Revolving Credit Facility. After giving effect to the amendments, in aggregate, as of December 31, 2021, the Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for (1) an aggregate principal amount of up to $
135.0
million under the Revolving Credit Facility (2) Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $
656.0
million, of which $
471.9
million is outstanding as of December 31, 2021, and (3) a $
345.0
million DDTL Facility, of which the Company borrowed $
245.0
million on December 22, 2021. As of February 7, 2022, the available borrowing capacities under the Revolving Credit Facility and DDTL Facility were $
135.0
million and $
100.0
million, respectively.
In accordance with ASC 470-50-40 “
Debt Modification and Extinguishments,
” the Second and Third Amendments were accounted for as debt modifications, and the $
3.0
million original issue discount paid to the
two
lenders of the DDTL Facility was capitalized and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the agreement through interest expense. Additionally, the Company paid $
1.2
million in costs as part of the transaction that were included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As a result of the Third Amendment, the Company incurred $
0.3
million of costs related to the new commitments, which costs were capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the agreement through interest expense.
The Revolving Credit Facility accrues interest on amounts drawn at a rate per annum equal to either (a) LIBOR plus
4.0
% or (b) a base rate plus
3.0
%, at the Company’s option, and the Company pays an unused commitment fee of
0.15
% in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loans and any loans under the DDTL Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to either (a) LIBOR (subject to a floor of
0.75
%) plus
5.00
% or (b) a base rate plus
4.00
%, at the Company’s option, and the Company pays a ticking fee based on the average daily balance of the unused amount of the aggregate DDTL Facility commitments during the preceding fiscal quarter, multiplied by
1
% per annum. The Senior Secured Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 5, 2024, with the Term Loans being mandatorily repayable beginning March 31, 2022, in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to
1
% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans, with the remaining balance payable on the maturity date. The DDTL Facility is also mandatorily repayable beginning March 31, 2022, in equal quarterly installments equal to
0.25
% of all DDTL facility loans that have been outstanding for a full fiscal quarter prior to each such repayment date, with the remaining balance payable on the maturity date. The remaining $
100.0
million of the DDTL Facility may be drawn from time to time, subject to certain conditions, until January 15, 2023.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default and a financial covenant requiring the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to maintain a minimum asset coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the required covenants.
The obligations of the Company are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in all assets of the Company, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company has incurred a total of $
27.1
million in debt issuance costs and debt discounts related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, of which $
22.9
million was capitalized and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Total amortization was $
2.1
million and $
0.8
million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $
3.0
million and $
1.6
million for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was included in interest expense, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates associated with the Term Loans. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an outstanding receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap on the notional amount of $
325.0
million of the Company’s total outstanding Term Loans balance with a fixed rate of
5.00
% plus
1.03
% (the “Amended Interest Rate Swap”), which terminates on November 5, 2024. The Company classifies its Amended Interest Rate Swap as a Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy as the majority of the inputs used to value it primarily includes other than quoted prices that are observable, and it uses standard calculations and models that use readily observable market data as their basis. As of December 31, 2021, the Company estimates that $
0.6
million will be reclassified into interest expense during the next twelve months.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Obligations
—Refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for commitments related to our operating leases.
Legal Contingencies and Obligations
—From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company currently is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
On August 17, 2021, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and two of its executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint, captioned
Hartel v. SelectQuote, Inc., et al.
, Case No. 1:21-cv-06903, asserts securities fraud claims on behalf of a putative class of plaintiffs who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of the Company’s common stock between February 8, 2021 and May 11, 2021 (the “Hartel Relevant Period”). Specifically, the complaint alleges the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act by making materially false and misleading statements and failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, allegedly causing the Company’s common stock to trade at artificially inflated prices during the Hartel Relevant Period. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and certain other costs.
On October 7, 2021, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company,
two
of its executive officers, and
six
current or former members of the Company’s Board of Directors, along with the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering of common stock (the “Offering”). The complaint, captioned West Palm Beach Police Pension Fund v. SelectQuote, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-08279, asserts claims for securities law violations on behalf of a putative class of plaintiffs who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock (i) in or traceable to the Offering or (ii) between May 20, 2020 and August 25, 2021 (the “WPB Relevant Period”). Specifically, the complaint alleges the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act by making materially false and misleading statements and failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s financial well-being and prospects, allegedly causing the Company’s common stock to trade at artificially inflated prices during the WPB Relevant
Period. The complaint also alleges the defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act by making misstatements and omissions of material facts in connection with the Offering, allegedly causing a decline in the value of the Company’s common stock. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, rescission, and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and certain other costs.
The Company believes the allegations in the complaints are without merit and intends to defend the cases vigorously. Accordingly, we currently believe that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on any of our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. However, depending on how the matters progress, they could be costly to defend and could divert the attention of management and other resources from operations. The Company has not concluded that a loss is probable and, therefore, has not accrued a liability related to these matters.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock
—
As of December 31, 2021, the Company has reserved the following authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock:
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)
1,253,575
Stock awards outstanding under 2020 Plan
3,603,818
Stock awards available for grant under 2020 Plan
10,721,627
Options outstanding under 2003 Plan

Total
17,296,284
Share-Based Compensation Plans
The Company has awards outstanding from
two
share-based compensation plans: the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Stock Plan”) and the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Stock Plan” and, collectively with the 2003 Stock Plan, the “Stock Plans”). However, no further awards will be made under the 2003 Stock Plan. The 2020 Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISO's”), nonstatutory stock options (“NSO's”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards (“RSU's”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PSU's”), and other forms of equity compensation (collectively, “stock awards”). All awards (other than ISOs, which may be granted only to current employees of the Company) may be granted to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
The number of shares of common stock available for issuance as of December 31, 2021, pursuant to future awards under the Company's 2020 Stock Plan is
10,721,627
. The number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved under the 2020 Stock Plan is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning on July 1, 2021, equal to
3
% of the total outstanding shares of common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of ISO's will be
4,000,000
. The shares of common stock covered by any award (including any award granted pursuant to the 2003 Stock Plan) that is forfeited, terminated, expired, or lapsed without being exercised or settled for cash will again become available for issuance under the 2020 Stock Plan. With respect to any award, if the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations are satisfied by delivering shares to the Company (by actual delivery or attestation), or if the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations are satisfied by withholding shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the award, the share reserve shall nonetheless be reduced by the gross number of shares subject to the award.
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation—Stock Compensation
(“ASC 718”) which requires all share-based compensation to be recognized in the income statement based on fair value and applies to all awards granted, modified, canceled, or repurchased after the effective date.

Stock Options
—
The stock options outstanding under the 2003 Stock Plan vest as to one-third after the vesting commencement date and as to 1/24 of the remaining shares subject to the stock option monthly thereafter, subject to the award recipient’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. Upon a termination of employment for any reason other than for “Cause” (as defined in the 2003 Stock Plan), any unvested and outstanding stock options would generally be forfeited for no consideration, and any vested and outstanding stock options would remain exercisable for
90
days following the date of termination (and, in the case of a termination of employment due to death or disability, for
12
months following the date of termination). Stock options expire
10
years from the date of grant. The terms for ISO's and NSO's awarded in the 2020 Stock Plan are the same as in the 2003 Stock Plan with the exception that the options generally shall vest and become exercisable in
four
equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the award recipient’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. Stock options are granted with an exercise price that is no less than
100
% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant.
The fair value of each option (for purposes of calculation of share-based compensation expense) is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses assumptions determined as of the date of the grant. Use of this option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”), the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“assumed forfeitures”), the risk-free interest rate that reflects the interest rate at grant date on zero-coupon United States governmental bonds that have a remaining life similar to the expected term (“risk-free interest rate”), and the dividend yield assumption which is based on the Company's dividend payment history and management's expectations of future dividend payments (“dividend yield”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the fair value of share-based compensation and, consequently, the related amount recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions for the stock options granted during the periods presented below:
The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Stock Plans for the six months ended December 31, 2021:

The following table summarizes performance stock unit activity under the 2020 Stock Plan for the six months ended December 31, 2021:
(1) Reflects PSU’s at 100% achievement of predefined financial performance targets. If performance metrics are met, PSU’s will vest, at the end of a
three-year
performance period. The number of shares that could be earned for the fiscal year 2021 tranche will range from
0
% to
150
% of the target, and the number of shares that could be earned for the fiscal year 2022 tranche will range from
0
% to
200
% of the target.
(2) Represents adjustments to previously granted PSU’s to reflect changes in estimates of future financial performance against targets.
As of December 31, 2021, there was $
2.1
million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance stock units granted, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.31
years.
ESPP
—
The purpose of the ESPP is to provide the Company's eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock through accumulated payroll deductions at
95
% of the fair market value on the exercise date, but no less than the lesser of
85
% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the offering period commences or
85
% of the fair market value of the common stock on the exercise date. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued
89,985
shares to its employees and as of December 31, 2021, there are
1,253,575
shares reserved for future issuance under the plan. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $
0.2
million and $
0.1
million with respect to the ESPP for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and recorded share-based compensation expense of $
0.3
million and $
0.1
million with respect to the ESPP for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Contract Balances
—After a policy is sold, the Company has no material additional or recurring obligations to the policyholder or the insurance carrier. As such, there are no contract liabilities recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, there was no activity in the contract asset balances other than the movement over time between long-term and short-term commissions receivable and accounts receivable as the policy is renewed, as shown on the balance sheet.
A roll forward of commissions receivable (current and long term) is shown below for the six months ended December 31, 2021:

(

Balance as of December 31, 2021
$
885,805
The $
149.2
million adjustment from change in estimate includes adjustments from the Company’s reassessment of each of its cohorts’ transaction prices. $
145.0
million of the total adjustment is due to the increase in actual lapse rates for Senior MA policies during calendar year 2021 and overall lower persistency from early data received for the January 2022 renewals. Therefore, it was determined that a downward adjustment to Senior MA revenue was probable, and commission revenue was reduced during the three months ended December 31, 2021. Approximately
62
%,
28
%, and
8
% of the adjustment from the change in estimate were from approved policies sold in fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
Production Bonuses and Other
—During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company received advance payments of marketing development funds, which will be amortized over the course of the appropriate fiscal year based on policies sold. As of December 31, 2021, there was an unamortized balance remaining of $
2.3
million of fiscal year 2022 marketing development funds recorded in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized income tax benefit of $
46.5
million and income tax expense of $
26.4
million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of
25.4
% and
22.7
%, respectively. The differences from our federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2021, were primarily related to state income taxes. The differences from our federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2020, were primarily related to state income taxes, partially offset by state tax credits such as the Kansas High Performance Incentive Program (“HPIP”) and discrete items for the period related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options.
For the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized income tax benefit of $
62.6
million and income tax expense of $
25.0
million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of
25.4
% and
21.8
%, respectively. The differences from our federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2021, were primarily related to state income taxes. The differences from our federal statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2020, were primarily related to state income taxes, partially offset by state tax credits such as HPIP and discrete items for the period related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options.
Assessing the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon several factors, including the likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income in relevant jurisdictions during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company forecasts taxable income by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including historical data and future plans and estimates. These assumptions require significant judgment about future taxable income. As a result, the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income change. The Company continues to recognize its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021, as it believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company recognizes a significant deferred tax liability due to the difference in the timing of revenue recognition for financial statement and tax purposes. For financial statement purposes, revenue is recognized when a policy is sold, while revenue recognition for tax purposes occurs when future renewal commission payments are received. This deferred tax liability is a source of income that can be used to support the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. As such, the Company does not believe a valuation
allowance is necessary as of December 31, 2021, and will continue to evaluate in the future as circumstances may change.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as defined by ASC Topic 260, “
Earnings per Share”
. Basic net income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted net income (loss) per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common and common equivalent shareholders by the total of the weighted-average common stock outstanding and common equivalent shares outstanding during the respective period. For the purpose of calculating the Company’s Diluted EPS, common equivalent shares outstanding include common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding employee stock options, unvested RSU's, PSU’s assuming the performance conditions are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period, and common shares issuable upon the conclusion of each ESPP offering period. The number of common equivalent shares outstanding has been determined in accordance with the treasury stock method for employee stock options, RSU's, PSU’s, and common stock issuable pursuant to the ESPP to the extent they are dilutive. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price paid by the option holder and future share-based compensation expense that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
The following table sets forth the computation of net income (loss) per share for the periods presented:

SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s reportable segments have been determined in accordance with ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
(“ASC 280”). The Company currently has
three
reportable segments: i) Senior, ii) Life, and iii) Auto & Home. Senior primarily sells senior Medicare-related health insurance products and also includes Population Health and InsideResponse. Life primarily sells term life and final expense products, and Auto & Home primarily sells individual automobile and homeowners’ insurance. In addition, the Company accounts for non-operating activity, share-based compensation expense, certain intersegment eliminations, and the costs of providing corporate and other administrative services in its administrative division, Corporate & Eliminations. These services are not directly identifiable with the Company’s reportable segments and are shown in the tables below to reconcile the reportable segments to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not aggregated any operating segments together to represent a reportable segment.
The Company reports segment information based on how its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews its operating results, allocates resources, and makes decisions regarding business operations. The performance measures of the segments include total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to other entities that operate in the same industries.
Costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, and technical development operating expenses that are directly attributable to a segment are reported within the applicable segment. Indirect costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, and technical development operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on varying metrics such as headcount. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as total revenue for the applicable segment less direct and allocated costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, technical development, and general and administrative operating costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense; gain or loss on disposal of property, equipment, and software; share-based compensation expense; restructuring expenses; and non-recurring expenses such as severance payments and transaction costs. Our CODM does not separately evaluate assets by segment; therefore, assets by segment are not presented.

Please refer to a discussion of the Company’s forward-looking statements and associated risks in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our 2021 Annual Report.
Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report.
Correction
of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company determined that first year provision for certain final expense policies offered by one of its insurance carrier partners should have been accrued based on a higher lapse rate. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information related to the correction, including descriptions of the misstatements and the impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, we have corrected certain previously reported financial information for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, in this Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Company Overview
COVID-19.
While the ongoing pandemic has caused disruptions to the economy both domestically and globally, including limitations on various businesses and activities that could have an indirect effect on our business, travel restrictions, and the extended shutdown of certain industries in various countries, due to the nature of our products and technology-enabled business model, these disruptions have not had a material adverse impact on our business on a consolidated basis. We will continue to evaluate the potential impacts and closely monitor developments as they arise.
Our Business.
We are a leading technology-enabled, direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) distribution platform that provides consumers with a transparent and convenient venue to shop for complex senior health, life, and auto & home insurance policies from a curated panel of the nation’s leading insurance carriers. As an insurance distributor, we do not insure the consumer, but rather identify consumers looking to acquire insurance products and place these consumers with insurance carrier partners that provide these products and, in return, earn commissions from our insurance carrier partners for the policies we sell on their behalf. Because we are not the issuer of the insurance policy to the consumer, we bear no underwriting risks. Our proprietary technology allows us to take a broad funnel approach to marketing by analyzing and identifying high quality consumer leads sourced from a wide variety of online and offline marketing channels. Our primary sources of leads include search engine marketing, radio, television, and third-party marketing partners. We monitor our acquisition costs to dynamically allocate our marketing spend to the most attractive channel, benefiting from over thirty years of data accumulated through our proprietary, purpose-built technologies. Our advanced workflow processing system scores each acquired lead in real-time, matching it with an agent whom we determine is best suited to meet the consumer’s need. Our platform then captures and utilizes our experience to further build upon the millions of data points that feed our marketing algorithms, which further enhances our ability to deploy subsequent marketing dollars efficiently and target more high-quality consumer leads. We have built our business model to maximize commissions collected over the life of an approved policy less the cost of acquiring the business, a metric we refer to as policyholder lifetime value and which is a key component to our overall profitability. Recently through acquisitions, we've begun expanding into lead generation sales, closed-door, long-term care prescription pharmacies, and overall health services through our Population Health platform.
We evaluate our business using the following three segments:
Senior, our fastest growing and largest segment, was launched in 2010 and provides unbiased comparison shopping for Medicare Advantage (“MA”) and Medicare Supplement (“MS”) insurance plans as well as prescription drug and dental, vision, and hearing (“DVH”) plans, and critical illness products. We represent approximately 20 leading, nationally-recognized insurance carrier partners, including UnitedHealthcare, Wellcare, and Humana. MA and MS plans accounted for 84% of our approved Senior policies for each of the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and 82% and 81% for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with other ancillary type policies accounting for the remainder. Additionally, InsideResponse and Population Health (which includes SelectRx) are included in Senior for segment reporting purposes.
Life is one of the country’s largest and most established DTC insurance distributors for term life insurance, having sold over 2.0 million policies nationwide since our founding in 1985. Our platform provides unbiased comparison shopping for life insurance products such as term life, final expense, and other ancillary products like critical illness, accidental death, and juvenile insurance. We represent approximately 20 leading, nationally-recognized insurance carrier partners, with many of these relationships exceeding 15 years. Term life policies accounted for 42% and 62% of new premium within Life for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with final expense policies accounting for 58% and 38% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, term life policies accounted for 36% and 55% of new premium within Life, respectively, with final expense policies accounting for 64% and 45%, respectively.
Auto & Home was founded in 2011 as an unbiased comparison shopping platform for auto, home, and specialty insurance lines. Our platform provides unbiased comparison shopping for insurance products such as homeowners, auto, dwelling fire, and other ancillary insurance products underwritten by approximately 30 leading, nationally-recognized insurance carrier partners. Homeowners and 12-month auto products accounted for 76% and 78% of new premium within Auto & Home for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 76% and 79% for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with six-month auto, dwelling fire, and other products accounting for a majority of the remainder.
The three and six months ended December 31 referenced throughout the commentary below refers to the second quarter and fiscal year-to-date performance of our fiscal years ending on June 30, 2022 and 2021. Note that certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform with current year presentation.
Key Business and Operating Metrics by Segment
In addition to traditional financial metrics, we rely upon certain business and operating metrics to estimate and recognize commission revenue, evaluate our business performance and facilitate our operations. In Senior, our primary product, Medicare Advantage, pays us flat commission rates based on the number of policies we sell on behalf of our insurance carrier partners. Therefore, we have determined that units and unit metrics are the most appropriate measures to evaluate the performance of Senior. In Life and Auto & Home, we are typically paid a commission that is a percent of the premium that we generate for our insurance carrier partners. Therefore, we have determined that premium-based metrics are the most relevant measures to evaluate the performance of these segments. Below are the most relevant business and operating metrics for each segment:
Senior
Submitted Policies
Submitted policies are counted when an individual completes an application with our licensed agent and provides authorization to them to submit it to the insurance carrier partner. The applicant may have additional actions to take before the application will be reviewed by the insurance carrier.

Total submitted policies increased by 29% for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was driven primarily by a 38% increase in MA submitted policies and a 24% increase in DVH submitted policies, partially offset by a 77% decrease in MS submitted policies.
The overall increase in submitted policies for Senior prod
ucts was primarily driven by an increase in the number of agents we employ, offset by a significant decrease in productivity per agent. Agent productivity was down partly due to an increase in the mix of flex agents, who are less productive, as well as a reduction in overall close rates across all agent types and marketing channels. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we increased the number of average productive agents by approximately 140%; however, average agent productivity decreased 45% from the three months ended December 31, 2020.
Total submitted policies increased by 36% for the six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was driven primarily by a 48% increase in MA submitted policies and a 30% increase in DVH submitted policies, partially offset by a 76% decrease in MS submitted policies. The overall increase in submitted policies for Senior products was primarily driven by an increase in the number of agents we employ, offset by a significant decrease in productivity per agent. The increase in agent productivity we experienced in the first quarter of the year was more than offset by the reduction in agent productivity discussed above. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, we increased the number of average productive agents by approximately 115%; however, average agent productivity decreased 35% from the six months ended December 31, 2020.
Approved Policies
Approved policies represents the number of submitted policies that were approved by our insurance carrier partners for the identified product during the indicated period. Not all approved policies will go in force.

Total approved policies increased by 22% for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was driven primarily by a 27% increase in MA approved policies and a 33% increase in DVH approved policies, partially offset by an 80% decrease in MS approved policies. Total approved policies increased by 30% for the six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was driven primarily by a 39% increase in MA approved policies and a 34% increase in DVH approved policies, partially offset by a 79% decrease in MS approved policies. Fluctuations in approved policies are normally in direct correlation to submitted policies; however, this year we experienced an 8% and 6% decrease in MA submitted-to-approved conversion rates for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, driven by higher consumer switching behavior during AEP. This resulted in MA approved policies growing at a slower rate than MA submitted policies.
Lifetime Value of Commissions per Approved Policy
The lifetime value of commissions (the “LTV”) per approved policy represents commissions estimated to be collected over the estimated life of an approved policy based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix and expected policy persistency with applied constraints. The LTV per approved policy is equal to the sum of the commission revenue due upon the initial sale of a policy, and when applicable, an estimate of future renewal commissions. The estimate of the future renewal commissions is determined using contracted renewal commission rates constrained by a persistency-adjusted 10-year renewal period based on a combination of our historical experience and available insurance carrier historical experience to estimate renewal revenue only to the extent probable that a material reversal in revenue would not be expected to occur. These factors may result in varying values from period to period. The LTV per approved policy represents commissions only from policies sold during the period. That figure excludes renewals during the period from policies originally sold in a prior period with insurance carrier partners whose contracts preclude us from recognizing variable consideration for estimated renewal commissions and updated estimates of prior period variable consideration based on actual policy renewals in the current period.
The following table shows the LTV per approved policy for the periods presented:

The LTV per MA approved policy decreased 27% while the LTV per MS approved policy increased 9% for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The MA LTV was negatively impacte
d by lower MA persistency rates, increase in constraint, the switch to policy level persistency, carrier mix, and higher provision for first year and renewal year lapse rates, somewhat offset by higher commission rates. The MS LTV was positively impacted by carrier mix and an improvement in first year lapse rates.
The LTV per MA approved policy decreased 25% while the LTV per MS approved policy increased 11% for the six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2020. The MA LTV was negatively impacte
d by lower MA persistency rates, increase in constraint, the switch to policy level persistency, carrier mix, and higher provision for first year and renewal year lapse rates, somewhat offset by higher commission rates. The MS LTV was positively impacted by carrier mix and an improvement in first year lapse rates.
Per unit economics represents total MA and MS commissions, other product commissions, other revenues, and costs associated with Senior, each shown per number of approved MA and MS approved policies over a given time period. Management assesses the business on a per-unit basis to help ensure that the revenue opportunity associated with a successful policy sale is attractive relative to the marketing acquisition cost. Because not all acquired leads result in a successful policy sale, all per-policy metrics are based on approved policies, which is the measure that triggers revenue recognition.
The MA and MS commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for policies sold in the period. Other commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for other products sold in the period, including DVH prescription drug plan, and other products, which management views as additional commission revenue on our agents’ core function of MA/MS policy sales. Other per MA/MS policy represents the production bonuses, marketing development funds, lead sales revenue from InsideResponse, revenue generated through the Population Health platform, and updated estimates of prior period variable consideration based on actual policy renewals in the current period. Total operating expenses per MA/MS policy represents all of the operating expenses within Senior. The Revenue to customer acquisition cost (“CAC”) multiple represents total revenue per MA/MS policy as a multiple of total marketing acquisition cost, which represents the direct costs of acquiring leads. These costs are included in marketing and advertising expense within the total operating expenses per MA/MS policy.
The following table shows per unit economics for the periods presented. Based on the seasonality of Senior and the fluctuations between quarters, we believe that the most relevant view of per unit economics is on a rolling 12-month basis. All per MA/MS policy metrics below are based on the sum of approved MA/MS policies, as both products have similar commission profiles. These metrics are the basis on which management assesses the business.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information regarding our use of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to their nearest comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Total revenue per policy decreased 29% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. Approximately 60% of the decrease was due to the $145.0 million adjustment from a change in estimate of primarily Senior MA cohort transaction prices, discussed further below in “Key Components of our Results of Operations.” Approximately 30% of the decrease was due to the lower LTV of MA policies, and the remainder was due to a decrease in overall MS revenue somewhat offset by higher marketing development funds received per approved MA/MS policy and the addition of revenue from SelectRx. Total cost per policy increased 30% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, due to an increase in our marketing and advertising expense driven by lower close rates during AEP, higher fulfillment costs associated with scaling Population Health and SelectRx, as well as higher sales expenses driven by a reduction in agent productivity.
Life premium represents the total premium value for all policies that were approved by the relevant insurance carrier partner and for which the policy document was sent to the policyholder and payment information was received by the relevant insurance carrier partner during the indicated period. Because our commissions are earned based on a percentage of total premium, total premium volume for a given period is the key driver of revenue for Life.

Auto & Home
Auto & Home premium represents the total premium value of all new policies that were approved by our insurance carrier partners during the indicated period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our GAAP financial results, we have presented in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and certain add-backs for non-cash or non-recurring expenses, including restructuring and share-based compensation expenses. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). We monitor and have presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that excluding the impact of these expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance.
We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculations of this non-GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, we believe that this financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.
Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of this non-GAAP financial measure rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the fact that Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, income tax expense (benefit), and other non-recurring expenses that are one-time in nature. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

Revenue
Our primary source of revenue are the commissions earned for the sale of first year and renewal policies from our insurance carrier partners, which are presented in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income as commission revenue. Additionally, we earn certain volume-based bonuses from some carriers on first-year policies sold, which we refer to as production bonuses and marketing development funds, based on attaining various predetermined target sales levels or other agreed upon objectives, as presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as production bonus and other revenue (“other revenue”). Furthermore, the production bonus and other revenue also includes the lead generation revenue from InsideResponse and the revenue generated through the Population Health platform.
Our commission contracts with our insurance carrier partners contain a single performance obligation satisfied at the point in time to which we allocate the total transaction price. The transaction price is identified as the first year commission due upon the initial sale of a policy as well as an estimate of future renewal commissions and other revenue when applicable. After a policy is sold, we have no material additional or recurring obligations to the policyholder or the insurance carrier partner. Therefore, we do not incur any additional expense related to our receipt of future renewal commissions or other revenue. All of the costs associated with the sale of an individual policy are incurred prior to or at the time of the initial sale of an individual policy. Commission and other revenue are recognized at different milestones for each segment based on the contractual enforceable rights, our historical experience, and established customer business practices. InsideResponse's lead sales revenue is recognized when the generated lead is accepted by our customers, which is the point of sale, and we have no performance obligation after the delivery. Revenues generated from SelectRx are recognized upon shipment. At the time of shipment, we have performed substantially all of our performance obligations and do not experience a significant level of returns or re-shipments. There are no future revenue streams associated as patients have the option to cancel their service at any time with no further payments due.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020–
Commission revenue decreased $179.6 million, or 56%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and included decreases of commission revenues in Senior, Life, and Auto & Home of $175.0 million, $2.8 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. For Senior, despite a 22% increase in approved policies, the reduction in revenue was driven by a $145.0 million downward adjustment from a change in estimate of Senior MA cohort transaction prices, in addition to a 27% reduction in LTV’s of approved MA policies, as a result of lower persistency assumptions. Based on an increase in actual lapse rates for Senior MA policies during calendar year 2021 and overall lower persistency from early data received for the January 2022 renewals, it was determined that a downward adjustment to Senior MA revenue was probable, and commission revenue was reduced during the three months ended December 31, 2021. Approximately 62%, 28%, and 8% of the adjustment from the change in estimate were from approved policies sold in fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Life’s revenue decline was primarily driven by a $3.9 million decrease in term life revenue, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in final expense revenue. The revenue decline for Auto & Home was driven by our strategy to reduce the growth in that division. The $17.0 million increase in production bonus and other revenue was primarily driven by $8.7 million of new pharmacy prescription revenue from SelectRx and a $12.6 million increase in marketing development funds received for Senior, partially offset by a reduction of $6.3 million in external lead generation revenue from InsideResponse, as more of their leads were consumed within the Senior division than in the prior year.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020–
Commission revenue decreased $152.5 million, or 36%, for the six months ended December 31, 2021, which included decreases of commission revenues in Senior and Auto & Home of $149.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, offset by an increase in Life commission revenue of $1.8 million. For Senior, the revenue decline was primarily driven by the $145.0 million adjustment on commissions revenue noted above and a 25% reduction in LTV’s of approved MA policies. The revenue
decline for Auto & Home was driven by our strategy to reduce the growth in that divisio
n. Life’s revenue growth was driven by $9.2 million growth in final expense revenue which was a result of the investment we have made in agents to grow sales of these policies, partially offset by a decrease in term life revenue of $7.4 million.
The
$24.6 million
increase in production bonus and other revenue was primarily driven by
$13.2 million of new pharmacy prescription revenue from SelectRx and a $15.7 million increase in marketing development funds received for Senior, partially offset by a reduction of $8.6 million in external lead generation revenue from InsideResponse, as more of their leads were consumed within Senior than in the prior year.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue represents the direct costs associated with fulfilling our obligations to our insurance carrier partners for the sale of insurance policies. Such costs primarily consist of compensation and related benefit costs for agents, fulfillment specialists and others directly engaged in servicing policy holders. It also includes licensing costs for our agents and allocations for facilities, telecommunications and software maintenance costs, which are all based on headcount. Facilities costs include rent and utilities expenses and other costs to maintain our office locations. Telecommunications and software maintenance costs includes costs related to the internal phone systems and various software applications that our agents use to make sales. These costs directly correlate to the number of agents we have as we are primarily charged based on per person usage for the phone systems and software
applications. For SelectRx, cost of revenue represents the direct costs associated with inventory used to fulfill prescriptions for senior medication management.

Cost of revenue increased $64.0 million, or 76%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to a $45.8 million increase in compensation costs driven by the growth in the number of agents within Senior and, to a lesser extent, Life, to support the sale of final expense policies. The increase in headcount also drove increases in the allocations of $6.1 million for facilities, telecommunications, and software maintenance costs, and $3.8 million for licensing costs. Additionally, there was $6.7 million of new medication costs in cost of revenue for SelectRx.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020–
Cost of revenue increased $105.1 million, or 78%, for the six months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to a $75.1 million increase in compensation costs driven by the growth in the number of agents within Senior and, to a lesser extent, Life, to support the sale of final expense policies. The increase in headcount also drove increases in the allocations of $10.3 million for facilities, telecommunications, and software maintenance costs, and $7.1 million for licensing costs. Additionally, there was $10.2 million of new medication costs in cost of revenue for SelectRx.
Marketing and Advertising
Marketing and advertising expenses consist primarily of the direct costs associated with marketing and advertising of our services, such as television and radio commercials and online advertising. These direct costs generally represent the vast majority of our marketing and advertising expenses. Other costs consist of compensation and other expenses related to marketing, business development, partner management, public relations, carrier relations personnel who support our offerings, and allocations for facilities, telecommunications, and software maintenance costs. Our marketing and advertising costs increase during AEP and OEP to generate more leads during these high-volume periods.

Segment Information
We currently have three reportable segments: 1) Senior 2) Life, and 3) Auto & Home. InsideResponse and Population Health are also included in Senior. The performance measures of the segments include total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to other entities that operate in the same industries.
In addition, we account for non-operating activity, share-based compensation expense, certain intersegment eliminations and the costs of providing corporate and other administrative services in our administrative division, Corporate & Eliminations. These services are not directly identifiable with our reportable segments and are shown in the tables below to reconcile the reportable segments to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Costs of revenue, marketing and advertising and technical development operating costs and expenses that are directly attributable to a segment are reported within the applicable segment. Indirect costs of revenue, marketing and advertising and technical development operating costs and expenses are allocated to each segment based on varying metrics such as headcount. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as total revenue for the applicable segment less direct and allocated costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, technical development and general and administrative operating costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense; loss on disposal of property, equipment, and software; share-based compensation expense; restructuring expenses; and non-recurring expenses such as severance payments and transaction costs. Our CODM does not separately evaluate assets by segment; therefore, assets by segment are not presented.

Revenue by Segment
Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020–
Revenue from Senior was $158.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a $157.5 million, or 50%, decrease compared to revenue of $315.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to a $164.7 million, or 62%, decrease in MA commission revenue from the $145.0 million adjustment from a change in estimate of cohort transaction prices discussed above, a $10.4 million decrease in MS commission revenue, and a reduction of $6.3 million of external
lead generation revenue from InsideResponse, partially offset by $8.7 million of new pharmacy prescription revenue from SelectRx and a $12.6 million increase in marketing development funds received.
Revenue from Life was $32.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a $2.9 million, or 8%, decrease compared to revenue of $35.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.9 million decrease in term life revenue, offset by a $1.1 million, or 11%, increase in final expense revenue.
Revenue from Auto & Home was $6.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a $1.1 million, or 15%, decrease compared to revenue of $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to o
ur strategy to reduce the growth in Auto & Home.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020–
Revenue from Senior was $264.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a $124.4 million, or 32%, decrease compared to revenue of $388.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to a $133.4 million, or 43%, decrease in MA commission revenue from the $145.0 million adjustment from the change in estimate of cohort transaction prices discussed above, a $16.8 million decrease in MS commission revenue, and a reduction of $8.6 million of external lead generation revenue from InsideResponse, partially offset by $13.2 million of new pharmacy prescription revenue from SelectRx and a $15.7 million increase in marketing development funds received.
Revenue from Life was $80.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a $3.1 million, or 4%, increase compared to revenue of $77.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $9.2 million increase in final expense revenue, offset by a $7.4 million decrease in term life revenue.
Revenue from Auto & Home was $13.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a $3.2 million, or 19%, decrease compared to revenue of $16.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to o
ur strategy to reduce the growth in Auto & Home.
Adjusted EBITDA by Segment
Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020–
Adjusted EBITDA from Senior was $(148.6) million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a $283.2 million decrease compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $134.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was due to a $157.5 million decrease in revenue primarily as a result of the $145.0 million adjustment from a change in estimate of cohort transaction prices discussed above, in addition to a $125.6 million increase in operating costs and expenses primarily attributable to an increase in variable marketing expenses as the Company increased marketing spend to generate more leads for our larger agent base to consume during AEP, in addition to lower overall close rates which impacted our marketing efficiency. Senior also incurred increased personnel costs associated with higher headcount in anticipation of AEP and OEP, as well as higher fulfillment costs associated with scaling Population Health and SelectRx.
Adjusted EBITDA from Life was $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a $3.9 million, or 68%, decrease compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in revenue primarily as a result of a decrease in term life revenue, as well as a $1.0 million increase in operating costs and expenses, primarily attributable to an increase in variable marketing expenses and variable sales commission expenses to agents. The increase in marketing expenses was primarily driven by a reduction in the amount of leads received from our term life business as more leads for final expense are being sourced externally as a result of the growth of that business. The increase in variable sales commission expenses to agents was driven by an increase in the amount of premium sold for final expense policies.
Adjusted EBITDA from Auto & Home was $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a $0.7 million, or 33%, decrease compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in revenue.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020–
Adjusted EBITDA from Senior was $(181.6) million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a $325.1 million decrease compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $143.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was due to a $124.4 million decrease in revenue primarily as a result of the $145.0 million adjustment from a change in estimate of cohort transaction prices discussed above, in addition to a $200.6 million increase in operating costs and expenses primarily attributable to an increase in variable marketing expenses as the Company increased marketing spend to generate more leads for our larger agent base to consume during AEP, in addition to lower overall close rates which impacted our marketing efficiency. Senior also incurred increased personnel costs associated with higher headcount in anticipation of AEP and OEP, as well as higher fulfillment costs associated with scaling Population Health and SelectRx.
Adjusted EBITDA from Life was $4.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, an $10.6 million, or 72%, decrease compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $14.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $13.8 million increase in operating costs and expenses primarily attributable to an increase in variable marketing expenses and variable sales commission expenses to agents. The increase in marketing expenses was primarily driven by a reduction in the amount of leads received from our term life business as more leads for final expense are being sourced externally as a result of the growth of that business. The increase in variable sales commission expenses to agents was driven by an increase in the amount of premium sold for final expense policies, all of which was partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in revenue, primarily from final expense policies.
Adjusted EBITDA from Auto & Home was $2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a $3.0 million, or 51%, decrease compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs primarily include working capital and debt service requirements. We believe that the cash available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. To the extent that our current liquidity is insufficient to fund future activities, we may need to raise additional funds. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. The incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations, and any future instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that could restrict our operations.
To date, systemic economic disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have not had a substantial effect on our financial standing; however, given the unpredictable nature of the virus and its effects on the global economy, we will continue to evaluate our financial position and liquidity needs in light of the ongoing pandemic as developments arise.
As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $193.4 million and $286.5 million, respectively. Additionally, the following table presents a summary of our cash flows for
the periods presented below:

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation; amortization of intangible assets and internally developed software; deferred income taxes; share-based compensation expense and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.
Collection of commissions receivable depends upon the timing of our receipt of commission payments and associated commission statements from our insurance carrier partners. If we were to experience a delay in receiving a commission payment from an insurance carrier partner within a quarter, our operating cash flows for that quarter could be adversely impacted.
A significant portion of our marketing and advertising expenses is driven by the number of leads required to generate the insurance applications we submit to our insurance carrier partners. Our marketing and advertising costs are expensed and generally paid as incurred and since commission revenue is recognized upon approval of a policy but commission payments are paid to us over time there are working capital requirements to fund the upfront cost of acquiring new policies. During AEP, we experience an increase in the number of submitted Senior insurance applications and marketing and advertising expenses compared to periods outside of AEP. The timing of AEP affects the positive or negative impacts of our cash flows during each quarter.

—Cash used in operating activities was $305.7 million, consisting of net loss of $184.2 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $42.2 million, offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $79.4 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $62.9 million in deferred income taxes, $11.3 million of depreciation and amortization related to additional fixed assets purchases to accommodate our growth in headcount and internally developed software in service, $4.1 million of share-based compensation expense, and $3.0 million of amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount as a result of amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The cash decrease resulting from changes in net operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of increases of $39.9 million in commissions receivable, $43.4 million in accounts receivable, and $5.6 million in other current assets, partially offset by increases of $15.1 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, all driven by the increased marketing and personnel costs for AEP.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2020
—Cash used in operating activities was $103.1 million, consisting of net income of $89.6 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $38.9 million, offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $231.7 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $24.9 million in deferred income taxes, $6.9 million of depreciation and amortization related to additional fixed assets purchases to accommodate our growth in headcount and internally developed software in service, $2.3 million of share-based compensation expense, and $1.9 million of non-cash lease expense. The cash decrease resulting from changes in net operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of increases of $219.1 million in commissions receivable and $61.3 million in accounts receivable related to the increase in approved policies partially offset by increases of $15.7 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $32.4 million in other liabilities, which consists primarily of commission advances and accrued compensation and benefits, all driven by the increased marketing and personnel costs required to produce our increased revenue.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities primarily consist of purchases of furniture and fixtures, computer hardware, leasehold improvements related to facilities expansion, and capitalized salaries related to the development of internal-use software.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2021

Financing Activities
Our financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity and proceeds and payments related to stock-based compensation.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2021
—Net cash provided by financing activities of $243.7 million was primarily due to $242.0 million in net proceeds from the DDTL Facility and $2.3 million in proceeds from common stock options exercised and the employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $0.3 million in debt issuance costs related to the Second Amendment and Third Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2020
—Net cash used in financing activities of $10.7 million was primarily due to $5.3 million in payments for withholding taxes related to net share settlements of employee stock option awards, $3.9 million in payments for costs incurred in the IPO, and $1.8 million in payments for costs incurred in connection with our private placement, partially offset by $0.4 million of proceeds from common stock exercises.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
We entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility to provide access to cash, in a variety of methods, when necessary to fund the operations of the business. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, there was $471.9 million outstanding under the Term Loans and $245.0 million outstanding under the DDTL Facility. Refer to Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Our risk management strategy includes entering into interest rate swap agreements to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating to forecasted debt transactions. The Company's Amended Interest Rate Swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of the interest payments on $325.0 million in principal of the Term Loans. Refer to Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Contractual Obligations
Other than the discussion in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as previously described in our 2021 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements recently adopted and not yet adopted, see the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
We are primarily exposed to the market risk associated with unfavorable movements in interest rates. The risk inherent in our market risk-sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss or increased expense arising from adverse changes in those factors. There have been no material changes to our market risk policies or our market risk-sensitive instruments and positions as described in our annual report on our 2021 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), carried out by our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (principal financial and accounting officer). Based upon our management's evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021, because of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, an error was identified relative to the Life first year commission revenue provision for certain final expense policies. As a result of the error, management concluded that our controls addressing the completeness and accuracy of carrier and policy information utilized to determine the first year provision were not designed effectively. This material weakness resulted in the correction of an error in the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarters ended December 31, 2020, for which we have concluded such error is not material to those previously reported financial statements.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable level of assurance of achieving their desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness
As a result of this material weakness, we have initiated and will continue to implement remediation measures including, but not limited to, obtaining complete and accurate carrier information feeds to support first year provision for final expense policies, reviewing policies as applicable to ensure additional risk mitigation, and enhancing procedures to assess the ongoing completeness and accuracy of carrier information utilized in supporting provisioning control activities. We are still in the process of assessing our remediation plan, and the initiatives we are implementing to remediate the material weakness are subject to continued management review supported by confirmation and testing, as well as audit committee oversight. However, we cannot be certain that the measures we
have taken or may take in the future will ensure that we will establish and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Notwithstanding the material weakness, our management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The material weakness will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the Company’s controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the material weakness noted above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time we are a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. These legal matters primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company’s services, insurance regulatory claims, and claims relating to intellectual property matters, employment matters, tax matters, commercial disputes, competition and sales practices. The Company may also become subject to lawsuits as a result of past or future acquisitions or as a result of liabilities retained from, or representations, warranties or indemnities provided in connection with, divested businesses. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels. For additional details, see Part I, Item 1, Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies - “Legal Contingencies and Obligations,” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors except as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2022. Realization of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we deem to be immaterial could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, the Company discovered that the provision for first year commission revenue for certain final expense policies offered by one of its insurance carrier partners should have been accrued based on a higher lapse rate. The error in the lapse rate resulted in commission revenues being misstated by $6.1 million, $2.0 million, and $2.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and for the three months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Accounts receivable was misstated by $8.1 million and $2.0 million, as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impact of the error on net income for the year ended June 30, 2021 was a decrease of $4.8 million. Management has evaluated this misstatement and concluded it was not material to prior periods, individually or in aggregate. However, correcting the cumulative effect of the error in the second quarter of 2022 would have a significant effect on the results of the operations. Therefore the Company plans to correct the consolidated financial statements for the prior periods that will be presented in the Form 10-K filing for the year ended June 30, 2022. The
Company also plans to correct the comparable Q3 2021 and Q1 2022 condensed consolidated financial statements that will be presented in the Q3 2022 and Q1 2023 Form 10-Q filings, respectively.
The following tables reflect the effects of the correction on all affected line items of the Company’s previously reported condensed consolidated financial statements to be presented as comparative in the Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2022:
