| GoHealth Prioritizes Consumer Fit, Renewal Economics and Cash Discipline While Continuing Leadership in Special Needs Plans; Reports Full Year 2025 Results |
|
Disciplined posture reflects consumer-first enrollment, an intentional Medicare Advantage pullback driven by market realities, continued special needs plans (“SNP”) leadership, targeted AI investment, and a focus on cash, back-book durability, and consolidation readiness
CHICAGO, March 31, 2026 — GoHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOCO) (“GoHealth” or the “Company”), a leading health insurance marketplace and Medicare-focused digital health company, today announced financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
GoHealth’s Chief Executive Officer, Vijay Kotte commented, "The Medicare Advantage market remains in a structural reset going into 2026, and our view is that health plans continue to prioritize retention, member quality, and disciplined unit economics. We anticipated many of these dynamics earlier in the cycle, and our pullback in 2025 was intentional. In this environment, consumers need a trusted partner more than ever. Our focus is helping ensure members enroll in plans that truly fit their needs, even when that means confirming their current coverage remains the best option. At the same time, we are maintaining disciplined focus on cash and improving our capital structure, while continuing tactical investments in technology and AI that improve efficiency today, support lower acquisition costs now and in the future, and position us to ramp quickly as conditions improve.”
GoHealth navigated a materially different Medicare Advantage environment by intentionally pulling back Medicare Advantage activity, while aiming to preserve a consumer-first approach, protect liquidity, and invest in core capabilities, which should enable GoHealth to scale when market conditions stabilize. Based on its analysis, GoHealth believes health plans will continue to emphasize margin integrity, renewal stability, and long-term member value over raw enrollment growth.
GoHealth anticipated this shift and aligned its operating model, accordingly, focusing on:
•Retention and High-Quality Member Book: Delivered materially improved year-over-year retention, reinforcing cohort quality and proprietary PlanFit logic while supporting the durability of GoHealth’s commission receivable asset and broader back book.
•Intentional Pullback Grounded in Consumer Fit and Renewal Economics: Deliberately pulled back Medicare Advantage activity where first-renewal probability did not support attractive economics, prioritizing appropriate plan fit for consumers and long-term cohort quality.
•Leadership with Special Needs Plans (“SNP”) populations: Continued leadership in key SNP categories due to our proprietary enrollment and servicing tools, technology and experience, as health plans pursued targeted growth while member stability, renewal duration, and outcomes remained especially important.
• Technology and AI Investment: Continued targeted investment in built-for-purpose, proprietary agentic AI and automation to lower customer acquisition costs, improve year-one payback, reduce operational friction, and enable agents with more capacity to focus on top-of-license advisory work, while supporting a consumer-first approach by helping ensure members are matched with the plans that best meet their needs.
• Strategic Flexibility: Optimized cash, protected the commissions receivable, and preserved operating flexibility
•Consolidation Readiness: Maintaining high conviction that the fragmented broker landscape will consolidate, positioning GoHealth to lead disciplined integration opportunities with the right partners at the right time.
"Our full-year performance reflect disciplined execution in a market where health plans are prioritizing margin stability and member quality”, said Brendan Shanahan, CFO of GoHealth. “Operating cash flow will remain the primary lens for our capital allocation decisions. As we move forward, we are concentrating investment where we have confidence in durable returns, strengthening retention, and continuing to improve efficiency through practical automation and AI."

Its unbiased, technology-driven marketplace coupled with highly skilled licensed agents has facilitated the enrollment of millions of consumers in Medicare plans since GoHealth’s inception.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “aims,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “positions”, “predicts,” “potential,” “likely,” “future” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this press release are only predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the factors described in the sections titled “Summary Risk Factors,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and our forthcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), as well as our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The factors described in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our forthcoming 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this press release, as well as the cautionary statements and other risk factors set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
You should read this press release and the documents that we reference in this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout this press release, we use a number of non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures of our performance that are derived from our consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We define these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
•“Adjusted EBITDA” represents, as applicable for the period, EBITDA as further adjusted for certain items summarized in the table furnished below in this press release.
•“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” refers to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.
•“EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expense.
We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary financial performance measure used by management to evaluate the business and monitor the results of operations, as well as a basis for certain compensation programs sponsored by the Company. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. For example, our
non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented in the tables furnished below in this press release. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items and may include other expenses, costs and non-routine items.
Key Business Performance and Operating Metrics
In addition to traditional financial metrics, we rely upon certain business and operating metrics to evaluate our business performance and facilitate our operations. The most relevant business and operating metrics are as follows:
•“Direct Operating Cost of Submission” is an operating metric that represents costs directly attributable to Submissions generated during a reporting period and excludes costs that are indirect or fixed. Direct Operating Cost of Submission is comprised of the portion of the respective operating expenses for revenue share, marketing and advertising and consumer care and enrollment that are directly related to the Submissions generated in the reporting period.
•“Direct Operating Cost per Submission” is an operating metric that represents the average performance of Submissions generated during a reporting period. Direct Operating Cost per Submission refers to (x) Direct Operating Cost of Submission for a reporting period divided by (y) the number of Submissions generated for such period.
•“Sales/Direct Operating Cost of Submission” represents (x) the numerator of Sales per Submission, as defined below, divided by (y) Direct Operating Cost of Submission.
•“Sales per Submission” is an operating metric that represents the average performance of Submissions generated during a reporting period. Sales per Submission measures revenues only from the Submissions generated in the period and excludes items that are unrelated to such Submissions, including any impact of revenue adjustments recorded in the period, but relating to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. Sales per Submission equals (x) the sum of (i) Medicare agency revenues, comprised of the expected amount of initial commission revenue and any renewal commissions to be paid from the health plan partners on such placement as long as the policyholder remains with the same insurance product, as well as partner marketing and other revenue, (ii) Medicare non-agency revenues, comprised of the enrollment and engagement services for which cash is collected in advance or in close proximity to the point in time revenue is recognized, and (iii) revenues from GoHealth Protect, divided by (y) the number of Submissions generated for such period.
•“Submission” refers to either (i) a completed Medicare application with our licensed agent that is submitted to the health plan partner and subsequently approved by the health plan partner during the indicated period, (ii) a transfer by our agent to the health plan partner through the Encompass operating model during the indicated period, or (iii) a completed GoHealth Protect application with our licensed agent that is submitted, approved by the health plan partner, and for which the payment information was received by the health plan partner during the indicated period.
Sales per Submission and Direct Operating Cost per Submission are key operating metrics used by management to understand the Company’s underlying financial performance and trends.
