SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business —SelectQuote, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “SelectQuote”) is a leading technology-enabled, direct-to-consumer distribution platform for insurance products and healthcare services. We contract 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. SelectQuote’s Senior division (“Senior”) sells Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Part D, and other ancillary senior health insurance related products. 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. The Healthcare Services division (“Healthcare Services”) includes SelectRx and Population Health. SelectRx is an accredited Patient-Centered Pharmacy Home (“PCPH”) pharmacy, which offers essential prescription medications, OTC medications, customized medication packaging, medication therapy management, providing long-term pharmacy care that enables patients to optimize medication adherence to drive positive health outcomes while enabling patients to remain at home. Population Health helps members understand the benefits available under their health plans, contracts with insurance carriers to complete HRA’s on members, partners with VBC providers for a variety of healthcare-related services, and introduces members to the pharmacy services offered through SelectRx. 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 (“InsideResponse”), 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, 2023. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company created a new liability line item on the consolidated balance sheets for “Contract liabilities” which was previously included in “Other current liabilities.” The Company created a new revenue line item on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for “Pharmacy revenue” which was previously included in “Other revenue.” Production bonus revenue, which was previously presented separately within Revenue, is now included in Other revenue. Additionally, the Company created a new operating costs and expenses line item for “Cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue” related to “Pharmacy revenue” which was previously included in “Cost of revenue.” The Company updated its accounting policy related to the classification of SelectRx cost of goods sold which resulted in $11.1 million previously included in Cost of revenue in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022, now included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Prior year financial statements and disclosures were reclassified to conform to these changes in presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows as previously reported. 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 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, accounts receivable, net, 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 assumptions 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 and Cash Equivalents —Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents include a money market account primarily invested in cash, U.S. Government securities, and repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 fair value measurements, which represent unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our account balances can at times exceed the FDIC-insured limits. 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, 2023, 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, 2023, two insurance carrier customers accounted for 31% and 22% of total accounts and commissions receivable. As of June 30, 2022, three insurance carrier customers accounted for 29%, 20%, and 14% of total accounts and commissions receivable. For the year ended June 30, 2023, two insurance carriers customers accounted for 33% and 20% of total revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2022, three insurance carrier customers accounted for 18%, 17%, and 12% of total revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2021, three insurance carrier customers accounted for 24% 19%, and 15% 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 (loss). 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 2–5 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 3-5 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 assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to its expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds its expected future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Refer to Notes 3, 4, and 7 of the consolidated financial statements for further details. 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, rather, goodwill is tested 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 test as of April 1. Refer to Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements for further details. Revenue Recognition— The Company has three revenue streams: commissions, pharmacy, and other revenues. 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. 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. Commission Revenue Contracts with Customers — The Company earns commission revenue from the sale of insurance policies, both in the first year the policy is sold and, when applicable, when the underlying policyholder renews their policy in subsequent years, as presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as commission revenue. The Company’s primary customers are the insurance carriers that it contracts with to sell insurance policies on their behalf. 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 for commission revenue contain a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time to which it allocates the total transaction price. For certain contracts, the Company receives upfront commission payments from certain insurance carrier customers as opposed to receiving renewal year commission in later years. The difference between the upfront payment and the unmet performance obligation represents a contract liability, which is presented as contract liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. 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 considers the following: • 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—Although the commission rates the Company is paid are based on agreed-upon contractual terms, the transaction price is determined using the estimated LTV, which represents commissions estimated to be collected over the life of an approved policy. This includes the first year commission due upon the initial sale of a policy as well as an estimate of renewal commissions, when applicable. First year commission revenue for new policies sold includes an estimated provision for those policies that are anticipated to lapse before the first policy anniversary renewal date (“first year provision”). The Company utilizes a practical expedient to estimate renewal 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”). The estimate of renewal commission revenue is considered variable consideration and requires significant judgment to determine the renewal commission revenue to be recognized at the time the performance obligation is met and in the reassessment of the transaction price each reporting period. This includes determining the number of periods in which a renewal will occur and the value of those renewal commissions to be received if renewed, which includes estimating persistency, the renewal year provision, and an additional product specific constraint applied to account for trends such as industry volatility or uncertainty of consumer behavior patterns. Persistency is the estimate of policies expected to renew each year and renewal year provision is the estimate of policies expected to lapse during each renewal period. The estimated average duration of expected renewals for our cohorts used in the calculation of LTV is ten years. Effective for policies sold during the three months ended December 31, 2021, and thereafter, the Company increased the product specific constraint for MA from 6% to 15%. The assumptions used in the Company’s calculation of renewal commission revenue are based on a combination of the Company’s historical experience for renewals, lapses, and payment data; available insurance carrier data; other industry or consumer behavior patterns; and expectations for future retention rates. The estimate of variable consideration is recognized only to the extent it is probable that a material reversal in revenue would not be expected to occur when the uncertainty associated with future commissions receivables is subsequently resolved when the policy renews or lapses. The Company monitors and updates this estimate of transaction price at each reporting period. • Reassessment of the Transaction Price — The Company is continuously reviewing and monitoring the assumptions and inputs into the Company’s calculation of renewal commission revenue, including reviewing changes in the data used to estimate LTV’s as well as monitoring the cash received for each cohort as compared to the original estimates at the time the policy was sold. The Company assesses the actual renewal data and historical data to identify trends and updates assumptions when a sufficient amount of evidence would suggest that the expectation underlying the assumption has changed and a change in estimate of the transaction price is warranted. The differences in actual cash received for current period renewals may result in an adjustment by cohort (“cohort adjustment”) to revenue and commissions receivable. Cohort adjustments can be positive or negative and are recognized using actual experience from policy renewals. The Company analyzes cohort adjustments to determine if they are indicative of changes needed in our estimates of future renewal commissions (“tail adjustments”) that remain unresolved as of the reporting period. Timing of Recognition —The Company recognizes revenue for both first year and renewal commissions 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—Commission revenue 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. • Life—Term commission revenue is recognized when the insurance carrier has approved the policy sold and payment information has been obtained from the policyholder. Final expense commission revenue is recognized when the carrier provides confirmation the policy is active. • Auto & Home—Commission revenue is recognized when the policy sold becomes effective. Pharmacy Revenue Pharmaceutical sales revenue from SelectRx is recognized upon shipment of an order to a customer (the patient ordering the medication). At the time of shipment, the Company has performed its one performance obligation and collectability is probable. The Company is legally prohibited from accepting returns or re-shipments except in limited circumstances. There are no future revenue streams or variable consideration associated as the transaction price is fixed and determined at time of shipment, customers have the option to cancel their service at any time, and any subsequent new order is its own performance obligation. Furthermore, as the customer has the ability to direct the use of the asset and substantially all of the remaining benefits of the asset have been transferred to the customer upon shipment, that is when revenue is recognized. Other Revenue Included in other revenue in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) is production bonus revenue and marketing development funds, revenue from Population Health, and external lead generation revenue from Inside Response. Population Health revenue is generally recognized when the HRA has been performed for an insurance carrier customer or the agreed-upon task has been completed for a VBC partner (the customer), the transaction price is known based on volume and contractual prices, and the Company has no further performance obligation. In addition to the commissions revenue received for the sale of policies, the Company earns two additional forms of revenue from its insurance carrier customers: 1) production bonuses, which are generally based on attaining predetermined target sales levels and are paid at the end of an agreed-upon measurement period and 2) marketing development funds, which are used as additional compensation and incentive to drive incremental policy sales for certain insurance carrier customers and are typically paid upfront to be used for lead generation activities during the agreed-upon measurement period (e.g. AEP for Senior). The sale of a certain volume of insurance policies is the only material promise specified within the contracts for production bonuses, with the transaction price being the agreed-upon contractual total production bonus to be paid by the insurance carrier at the end of the measurement period. The Company recognizes revenue from production bonuses as policies are sold based upon the agreed-upon targets in the customer contracts, using contractual amounts and forecast data to project the volume for the measurement period and record revenue proportionally as policies are sold. Therefore, the estimates of revenue for production bonuses are considered variable consideration, but the uncertainty around the variable consideration is typically resolved within a reporting period due to the nature of the production bonus contracts. Due to this, there are not significant judgments required in recognizing production bonus revenue. The contract language can vary in the Company’s marketing development funds contracts, but generally the material promise to the customer is for the Company to use the upfront payment to generate leads. There are no future revenue streams or variable consideration associated as the transaction price is fixed, determined, and paid up front. Therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled, and revenue is recognized ratably according to the contract over the agreed-upon measurement period (typically one fiscal quarter). The difference between the upfront payment and the unmet performance obligation represents a contract liability, which is presented in contract liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts Receivable, net —Accounts receivable, net primarily 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. Accounts receivable, net also includes trade receivables from Healthcare Services primarily due to pharmacy sales to customers who are covered by third-party payers (e.g., pharmacy benefit managers, insurance companies, and governmental agencies), and are stated net of allowance for credit losses. The Company recorded an allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, of $2.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. 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 and collected in cash within one year, while the non-current portion of commissions receivable are expected to be collected beyond one year. Contract assets are reclassified as accounts receivable, net when the rights to the renewal commissions become unconditional, which is primarily upon renewal of the underlying policy, typically on an annual basis. Cost of Revenue —Cost of revenue represents the direct costs associated with fulfilling the Company’s obligations to its customers to sell insurance policies and other healthcare services in the Senior, Life, Auto & Home, and Population Health divisions. Such costs primarily consist of compensation, benefits, and licensing for sales agents, customer success agents, fulfillment specialists, and others directly engaged in serving customers, in addition to certain facilities overhead costs such as rent, maintenance, and depreciation. Cost of Goods Sold-Pharmacy Revenue —Cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue represents the direct costs associated with fulfilling pharmacy patient orders for SelectRx. Such costs primarily consist of medication costs and compensation and related benefit costs for licensed pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and other employees directly associated with fulfilling orders such as packaging and shipping clerks. It also includes shipping, supplies, other order fulfillment costs including part of the one-time customer onboarding costs, and certain facilities overhead costs such as rent, maintenance, and depreciation related to the pharmacy production process. Inventory —Inventory consists of SelectRx pharmaceuticals, which are carried at the lower of cost (weighted average cost) or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation, with a normal margin to sell. Any adjustments to reduce the cost of inventories to their net realizable value are recognized in earnings in the current period. Inventory is included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. 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 $242.5 million, $418.0 million, and $329.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 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 which is more likely than not 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 (Loss) —Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) 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. Recent Accounting Pronouncements 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 da |
