For the fiscal second quarter ending July 31, 2020, management expects revenues of $168 million to $173 million. Its outlook for net loss is between $20 million and $15 million, resulting in net loss per diluted share of $0.27 to $0.21. Its outlook for non-GAAP net income, calculated using the method described below, is between $17 million and $22 million, resulting in non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.23 to $0.30 (based on an estimated 73 million weighted-average shares outstanding). Management expects Adjusted EBITDA of $42 million to $48 million.Said Kessler, “We believe the COVID-19 pandemic’s negative effect on our operating performance will fade as businesses gradually reopen, while the unprecedented economic fallout drives HSA growth and accelerates long-term trends favoring established market leaders like HealthEquity.”See “Non-GAAP financial information” below for definitions of our Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used throughout this release to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial tables at the end of this release.Conference callHealthEquity management will host a conference call at 4:30 pm (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, June 2, 2020 to discuss the first quarter 2021 financial results.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company cautions investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from GAAP; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare current results with results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies. In addition, while amortization of acquired intangible assets is being excluded from non-GAAP net income, the revenue generated from those acquired intangible assets is not excluded. Whenever we use these non-GAAP financial measures, we provide a reconciliation of the applicable non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed in the tables below.About HealthEquityHealthEquity administers Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and other consumer-directed benefits for our more than 12 million members in partnership with employers, benefits advisors, and health and retirement plan providers who share our mission to connect health and wealth and value our culture of remarkable “Purple” service.
