Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business —SelectQuote, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “SelectQuote”) contract with numerous insurance carriers to sell senior health (“Senior”), life (“Life”), and auto and home insurance (“Auto & Home”) policies by telephone to individuals throughout the United States through the use of multi-channel marketing and advertising campaigns. Senior sells Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Part D, and other ancillary senior health insurance related policies. InsideResponse and Population Health are also included in Senior. Life sells term and permanent life insurance policies (together referred to as "core") and final expense policies, along with other ancillary products. Auto & Home primarily sells non-commercial auto & home property and casualty insurance policies. 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”). Additionally, the Company receives certain volume-based bonuses from some carriers on first-year policies sold, which are referred to as production bonuses and marketing development funds, based on attaining various predetermined target sales levels or other agreed upon objectives. Basis of Presentation —The accompanying 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. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2021. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform with current year. Results from operations related to entities acquired during the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements are reflected from the effective date of acquisition. Results of operations were not materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References in this Annual Report to a particular "year," "fiscal," "fiscal year," or "year-end" mean our fiscal year. The significant accounting policies applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are summarized below. 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”) in October through December and are allowed to switch plans from an existing plan during the open enrollment period (“OEP”) in January through March each year. As a result, the Company’s Senior segment’s commission revenue is highest in the second quarter and to a lesser extent, the third quarter during OEP. Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Business Combinations —The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at full fair value at the acquisition date. Additionally, ASC 805 requires transaction-related costs to be expensed in the period incurred. The determination of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires estimates and assumption that can change as a result of new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. As such, the Company will make any necessary adjustments to goodwill in the period identified within one year of the acquisition date. Adjustments outside of that range are recognized currently in earnings. Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for further details. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash —Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company’s restricted cash balance consists of a specified deposit account to be used only for interest payments on the 2019 Term Loan (as defined below). Concentrations of Credit Risk —Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts and commissions receivable. The Company believes the potential for collection issues with any of its customers is minimal as of June 30, 2021, based on the lack of collection issues in the past and the high financial standards the Company requires of its customers. As of June 30, 2021, three insurance carrier customers accounted for 29%, 21%, and 10% of total accounts and commissions receivable. As of June 30, 2020, three insurance carrier customers accounted for 26%, 20%, and 10% of total accounts and commissions receivable. For the year ended June 30, 2021, three insurance carriers customers accounted for 24%, 19%, and 15% of total revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2020, three insurance carrier customers accounted for 26% 18%, and 11% of total revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2019, three insurance carrier customers accounted for 23%, 14%, and 12% of total revenue. Property and Equipment—Net —Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Finance lease amortization expenses are included in depreciation expense in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the date the asset is placed in service using the following estimated useful lives: Computer hardware 3 years Machinery and equipment 2–4 years Automobiles 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease period or useful life Furniture and fixtures 7 years Maintenance and minor replacements are expensed as incurred. Software—Net —The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and compensation and benefits costs of employees who devote time to the development of internal-use software during the application development stage. Judgment is required in determining the point at which various projects enter the phases at which costs may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs, and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized, which is generally 3 years. Implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract are capitalized according to the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and classified in the same balance sheet line item as amounts prepaid for the related hosting arrangement. Amortization of these costs is recorded to the same income statement line item as the service fees for the related hosting arrangement and over the same term. Leases— The Company has entered into various lease agreements for office space and other equipment as lessee. At contract inception, the Company determines that a contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If a contract contains a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement. The Company has elected a practical expedient to make an accounting policy not to record short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheet, defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not contain purchase options that the lessee is reasonably certain to elect. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term as the Company has control over an economic resource and is benefiting from the use of the asset. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments for that right of use. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are determined by recognizing the present value of future lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis based upon information available at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is measured at the commencement date by totaling the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, adding any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, subtracting any lease incentives received, and adding any initial direct costs incurred by the Company. When lease terms include renewal or termination options, the Company determines the lease term as the noncancelable period of the lease, plus periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. The Company considers an option to be reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company when a significant economic incentive exists. The Company has lease agreements with lease and nonlease components. The Company elected the practical expedient to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and its associated nonlease components as a single lease component. The Company has applied this accounting policy election to all asset classes. Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets —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. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. For the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, there were no events or changes in circumstances to indicate impairment of long-lived assets. Goodwill —Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is not amortized in accordance with the requirements of ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that the Company test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company considers significant unfavorable industry or economic trends as factors in deciding when to perform an impairment test. Goodwill is allocated among, and evaluated for impairment, at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company performs the annual goodwill impairment as of April 1. Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for further details. Commission Advances —Commission advances represent a refund liability primarily for upfront future renewal commission payments received from certain insurance carriers at the time an insurance policy is first sold. The Company is required to return commission advances to customers in the event the underlying policyholder does not renew the policy. When the Company has an unconditional right to the consideration, the Company recognizes a reduction to the corresponding contract asset and refund liability. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, there was approximately $5.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, recorded in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Equity Issuance Costs —Equity issuance costs primarily consist of legal fees, underwriting fees, and other costs incurred as a result of the IPO and the issuance of Series E preferred stock. Upon completion of the IPO in May of 2020, $26.9 million of costs were charged to shareholders’ equity against the gross proceeds raised. For the issuance of Series E preferred stock in April and May of 2020, $5.6 million of costs were charged to shareholders’ equity against the gross proceeds raised. Revenue Recognition— The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and recognizes an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the contract with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. Contracts with Customers — The Company’s primary customers are the insurance carriers that it contracts with to sell insurance policies on their behalf. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. The Company earns commissions for first year and renewal policies from the insurance carriers, as presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as commission revenue. Additionally, the Company earns production bonuses on first year policies from the insurance carriers based on attaining predetermined target sales levels or other agreed upon objectives and marketing development funds received from certain insurance carriers based on historical experience to drive incremental policy sales, as presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as production bonus and other revenue. The contracts with the insurance carriers are non-exclusive and can typically be terminated unilaterally by either party. We review individual contracts to determine the Company’s legal and enforceable rights to renewal commissions upon contract termination when determining variable consideration. Additionally, the insurance carriers often have the ability to amend provisions in the contracts relating to the prospective commission rates paid to the Company for new policies sold. The Company’s contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time to which it allocates the total transaction price. Significant Judgments — The accounting estimates and judgments related to the recognition of revenue require the Company to make assumptions about numerous factors such as the determination of performance obligations and determination of the transaction price. In determining the amounts of revenue to recognize, the Company uses the following methods, inputs, and assumptions: • Determination of Performance Obligations —The Company reviews each contract with customers to determine what promises the Company must deliver and which of these promises are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. The delivery of new policyholders to the insurance carriers is the only material promise specified within the contracts. After a policy is sold, the Company has no material additional or recurring obligations to the policyholder or the insurance carrier. The Company’s contracts do not include downstream policyholder activities such as claims support or payment collection services. While the primary promise is the sale of policies, some contracts include the promise to provide administrative services to policyholders on behalf of the insurance carrier such as responding to policyholder inquiries regarding coverage or providing proof of insurance. The Company has concluded that while these administrative services may be distinct, they are immaterial in the context of the contract. ▪ Determination of the 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 renewal commissions or production bonuses when applicable. The estimates of renewal commissions and production bonuses are considered variable consideration and require significant judgment including determining the number of periods in which a renewal will occur and the value of those renewal commissions to be received if renewed. For renewal commissions, the Company utilizes the expected value approach. This approach incorporates a combination of historical lapse and premium increase data (where applicable), available insurance carrier experience data, historical payment data by segment and insurance carrier to estimate forecasted renewal consideration and constrain revenue recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved when the policy renews, and adjustments in variable consideration are recognized in the period incurred. The foregoing is exclusive of marketing development funds, InsideResponse lead generation revenue, and Population Health revenue in which the transaction prices are known. The Company utilizes a practical expedient to estimate commission revenue by applying the use of a portfolio approach to policies grouped together by segment, insurance carrier, product type, and quarter the policy was initially sold (referred to as a “cohort”). This provides a practical approach to estimating the renewal commissions expected to be collected for each cohort by evaluating various factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, insurance carrier mix, premium increases, and persistency rates. Timing of Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue when it has completed its performance obligation, which is at different milestones for each segment based on the contractual enforceable rights, the Company’s historical experience, and established customer business practices: Senior Revenue a. Commission revenue for senior health policies is recognized at the earliest of when the insurance carrier has approved the policy sold, when a commission payment is received from the insurance carrier, or when the policy sold becomes effective. b. Lead sales revenue for InsideResponse is recognized when the generated lead is accepted by the customer, which is the point of sale, and the Company has no further performance obligation after the delivery. c. Revenues generated from SelectRx are recognized upon shipment. At the time of shipment, the Company has performed substantially all of its performance obligations and does 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. Life Revenue a. Commission revenue is recognized when the insurance carrier has approved the policy sold and payment information has been obtained from the policyholder. Auto & Home Revenue a. Commission revenue is recognized when the policy sold becomes effective. The Company does not receive consideration prior to the satisfaction of its performance obligation, and as a result, does not have contract liabilities with its customers. Refer to Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements for further information. Reassessment of the Transaction Price — The Company is continuously evaluating the assumptions and inputs into the Company's calculation of renewal commission revenue. As a result of these continuous evaluations, the Company recognizes cohort adjustments for revenue from prior periods when the cash collections are different from the estimated constrained renewal commissions. Cohort adjustments are a result of a change in estimate of expected cash collections when actual cash collections differs from the estimated constrained renewal commissions for the revenue recognized at the time of approval. Cohort adjustments can be positive or negative and are recognized using actual experience from policy renewals. As part of the ongoing evaluation, the Company revised its approach for estimating renewal commissions for the Senior segment beginning with the fourth quarter 2021, which included changing to the use of policy level persistency as the method for calculating persistency and the constraints applied to the calculation of a cohort renewal commission value. Accounts Receivable —Accounts receivable represents either first year or renewal commissions expected to be received on policies that have already been sold or renewed and for production bonus revenue that has been earned but not received from the insurance carrier. Typically, the Company receives commission payments as the insurance carriers receive payments from the underlying policyholders. As these can be on various payment terms such as monthly or quarterly, a receivable is recorded to account for the commission payments yet to be received from the insurance carriers. Commissions Receivable —Commissions receivable are contract assets that represent estimated variable consideration for performance obligations that have been satisfied but payment is not due as the underlying policy has not renewed yet. The current portion of commissions receivable are future renewal commissions expected to be renewed within one year, while the non-current portion of commissions receivable are expected to be renewed beyond one year. Contract assets are reclassified as accounts receivable when the rights to the renewal commissions become unconditional, which is primarily upon renewal of the underlying policy, typically on an annual basis. The Company assesses impairment for uncollectible consideration amounts when information available indicates it is probable that an asset has been impaired. There were no impairments recorded during the years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020, respectively. Cost of Revenue —Cost of revenue represents the direct costs associated with fulfilling the Company’s obligations to the insurance carriers for the sale of insurance policies. Such costs primarily consist of compensation and related benefit costs for sales agents, fulfillment specialists, and others directly engaged in serving policy holders. The Company does not have any incremental costs of obtaining its contracts with its customers, the insurance carriers. Share-Based Compensation —The Company applies the fair value method under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in accounting for share-based compensation to employees. Under ASC 718, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the equity instruments awarded and is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, or the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. The fair value of the equity award granted is estimated on the date of the grant. Marketing and Advertising Expenses —Direct costs related to marketing and advertising the Company’s services are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising expense was $329.4 million, $162.8 million, and $99.9 million for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Income Taxes —The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company applies ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company records a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to ASC 740 and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on the Company’s tax return. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Comprehensive Income —Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, less amounts reclassified into earnings. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements —In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which has been clarified and amended by various subsequent updates. The core principle of this standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases, by recognizing in the consolidated balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In accordance with the guidance of Topic 842, leases are classified as finance or operating leases, and both types of leases are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous guidance. The new guidance requires certain expanded qualitative disclosures and specific quantitative disclosures in order to provide users of financial statements enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. The Company adopted the new guidance and related amendments on July 1, 2020, and elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the carry forward of historical assessments of whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The new guidance and related amendments have been applied on a modified retrospective basis using the optional transition method with an application date of July 1, 2020. As a result of adopting this standard, on July 1, 2020, the Company recorded lease liabilities of $41.3 million and right-of-use assets of $29.7 million, which includes reclassifications of existing assets and liabilities primarily related to deferred rent. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income or the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company has included expanded disclosures on the consolidated balance sheets and in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “ Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) : Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ” This ASU amends the subsequent measurement of goodwill whereby Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test is eliminated. As a result, an entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The standard was adopted and applied prospectively by the Company as of July 1, 2020, but it did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the guidance for accounting for assets that are potentially subject to credit risk. The amendments affect contract assets, loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and certain other financial assets. The Company adopted the standard on a prospective basis as of July 1, 2020. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet 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 becomes effective for the Company on July 1, 2022, and for interim periods beginning July 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not expect this ASU to have a material impact. |
