Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business GoHealth, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading health insurance marketplace and Medicare-focused digital health company whose mission is to improve healthcare in America. The Company works with insurance health plan partners to provide solutions to efficiently enroll individuals in health insurance plans. The Company’s proprietary technology platform leverages modern machine-learning algorithms powered by two decades of insurance purchasing behavior to reimagine the optimal process for helping individuals find the best health insurance plan for their specific needs. The Company’s differentiated combination of a vertically integrated consumer acquisition platform and highly skilled and trained agents has enabled the Company to enroll millions of people in Medicare and individual and family plans since inception. Certain of the Company’s operations do business as GoHealth, LLC (“GoHealth”), a controlled subsidiary of the Company that was founded in 2008. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on March 27, 2020 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of GoHealth Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, "GHH, LLC"). On July 17, 2020, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,900,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a public offering price of $315.00 per share (“the IPO”), receiving approximately $852.4 million in net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. Pursuant to a reorganization into a holding company structure, the Company is a holding company and its principal asset is a controlling equity interest in GHH, LLC. As the sole managing member of GHH, LLC, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of GHH, LLC, and through GHH, LLC and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies In connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company completed a series of organizational transactions (the “Transactions”). The Transactions included: • The amendment and restatement of the existing limited liability company agreement of GHH, LLC to, among other things, (1) recapitalize all existing ownership interests in GHH, LLC (including profits units awarded under the existing limited liability company agreement of GHH, LLC) and (2) appoint the Company as the sole managing member of GHH, LLC upon its acquisition of LLC Interests in connection with the IPO; • the amendment and restatement of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide for (1) Class A common stock, with each share of the Company’s Class A common stock entitling its holder to economic rights and one vote per share on all matters presented to stockholders generally and (2) Class B common stock, with each share of the Company’s Class B common stock being a non-economic share but entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to stockholders generally (provided that shares of Class B common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their respective permitted transferees); • the issuance of 20,532,004 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, including the issuance of 15,293,288 such shares to the Continuing Equity Owners, which is equal to the number of LLC Interests held directly or indirectly by such Continuing Equity Owners immediately following the Transactions, for nominal consideration; • the issuance of 2,900,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to the purchasers in the IPO in exchange for net proceeds, after taking into account the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $852.4 million; • the acquisition by the Company of the Blocker Company in a merger transaction (the “Blocker Merger”), which Blocker Company held 3,033,551 LLC interests and a corresponding amount of the Company’s Class B common stock (which shares were cancelled after the Blocker Merger), in exchange for 2,712,197 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and payment of $96.2 million in cash to Blocker Shareholders; • the use of the remaining net proceeds from the IPO to (i) pay $508.3 million in cash to redeem 1,698,645 LLC Interests held directly or indirectly by the Continuing Equity Owners, (ii) satisfy in full $100.0 million in aggregate face amount of senior preferred earnout units in connection with the Transactions and (iii) use for general corporate purposes; and • the Company entered into (1) a stockholders’ agreement with Centerbridge and NVX Holdings, Inc., (2) a registration rights agreement with certain of the Continuing Equity Owners and (3) a tax receivable agreement with GHH, LLC, the Continuing Equity Owners and the Blocker Shareholders. In connection with the IPO, the Company became the sole managing member of GHH, LLC and controls the management of GHH, LLC. As a result, the Company consolidates GHH, LLC’s financial results in its Consolidated Financial Statements and reports non-controlling interests for the economic interest in GHH, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners. Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, the existing limited liability company agreement of GHH, LLC was amended and restated to, among other things, recapitalize its capital structure by creating a single new class of units (the “common units”) and provide for a right of redemption of common units (subject in certain circumstances to time-based vesting requirements and certain other restrictions) in exchange for, at the Company’s election, cash or newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption, the Company will receive a corresponding number of common units, increasing the Company’s total ownership interest in GHH, LLC. Immediately following the completion of the Transactions and the IPO, the Company owned 26.8% of the economic interests in GHH, LLC, while the Continuing Equity Owners owned the remaining 73.2% of the economic interests in GHH, LLC. Net income and loss is allocated to the Continuing Equity Owners on a pro rata basis, assuming that any Class B common units that are subject to time-based vesting requirements are fully vested. The net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 represents the Continuing Equity Owners’ pro rata share of net loss of the Company for the period subsequent to the IPO. GHH, LLC is a holding company with no operating assets or operations and was formed to acquire a 100% equity interest in Norvax, LLC (“Norvax”). GHH, LLC owns 100% of Blizzard Midco, LLC, which owns 100% of Norvax. For all of the periods reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements, GHH, LLC has not and does not have any material operations on a standalone basis and all of the operations of GHH, LLC are carried out by Norvax. On August 15, 2019, GHH, LLC entered a series of arrangements to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Norvax. On September 13, 2019, Blizzard Merger Sub LLC, a transitory merger company of Blizzard Midco, LLC, merged into Norvax, with Norvax continuing as the surviving limited liability company and GHH, LLC's operating entity (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition’s purchase price allocation was final as of September 30, 2020 with no adjustments made in the measurement period. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-fifteen reverse stock split. See Note 6. “Stockholders' Equity” for more information. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash includes all deposits in banks. The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions in the United States and Europe. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and commissions receivable. The maximum exposure risk of these accounts is equal to the amounts stated on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company places its cash with high-credit-quality financial institutions and, at times, such deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash balances and periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions are performed. Accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and commissions receivable are primarily derived from customers located in North America. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and requires no collateral from customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and commissions receivable. As of December 31, 2022, three customers each represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable and unbilled receivables and, in aggregate, represented 85%, or $37.6 million, of the combined total. As of December 31, 2021, three customers each represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable and unbilled receivables and, in aggregate, represented 87%, or $28.7 million, of the combined total. Foreign Currency The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from certain vendors that transact business in Euros. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign affiliate in Slovakia, which uses the local currency as its functional currency, are translated at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated at a rate that approximates the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other (income) expense, net and are immaterial for all periods presented. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and typically do not bear interest. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company takes into consideration the overall quality of the receivables portfolio, along with specifically identified customer risks in establishing allowances. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when it is determined the receivable is uncollectible. Commissions Receivable Commissions receivable are contract assets that represent estimated variable consideration for commissions to be received from insurance health plan partners for performance obligations that have been satisfied. The current portion of commissions receivable are future commissions expected to be received within one year, while the non-current portion of commissions receivable are expected to be received beyond one year. The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses using available information from internal and external sources, related to historical experiences, current conditions and forecasts. Our estimates of loss given default are determined by using our historical collections data as well as historical information obtained through our research and review of other peer companies. Our estimated exposure of default is determined by applying these internal and external factors to our commission receivable balances. Commissions Payable Commissions payable represent the estimated share of policy commissions earned by the Company’s external channel agents. The current portion of commissions payable are future commissions expected to be paid within one year, while the non-current portion of commissions payable are expected to be paid beyond one year. Property, Equipment, and Capitalized Software, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows: Asset Description Estimated Useful Life Computer equipment and software 3 years Office equipment and furniture 7 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life (typically 5 years) or remaining lease term Expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop and maintain source code software and other internally developed software applications, primarily consisting of employee-related and third-party contractor costs, pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350-40, Internal Use Software . Costs incurred during the planning and post-implementation phases of software development are expensed. During the application development phase, costs incurred are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over the estimated useful life, which is generally three years. These capitalized costs are recorded within property, equipment, and capitalized software, net, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and the amortization is charged to technology expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Leases The Company has entered into operating lease agreements primarily consisting of real estate and data centers. At inception of the arrangement, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease. If an arrangement contains a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at lease commencement. The Company has elected the practical expedient to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Operating lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. Lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within each lease is not readily determinable and therefore we use our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments. The determination of the incremental borrowing rate requires judgement. We determined our incremental borrowing rate for each lease using indicative bank borrowing rates, adjusted for various factors including level of collateralization, term and treasury yield curves that align with the terms of a lease. After the lease commencement date, changes to a lease are assessed to determine if it represents a lease modification or a separate contract. If a modification exists, operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are remeasured using the present value of remaining lease payments and a revised estimated incremental borrowing rate upon lease modification. We do not include any renewal options in the lease terms for calculating lease liability, as we are not reasonably certain that we will exercise these renewal options at the time of lease commencement or at the time of a lease modification. The Company has lease agreements with lease and nonlease components. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease components and 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 underlying asset classes. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each year, on November 30 th , or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized goodwill impairment charges of $386.6 million, within "Goodwill impairment charges" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, representing the full amount of goodwill associated with the Company. See Note 4, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net," for further discussion over the goodwill impairment charges. There was no impairment of goodwill for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. An intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized until its useful life is determined to no longer be indefinite. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, such as a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant, adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Significant judgment is applied when goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment. This judgment may include an assessment of qualitative or quantitative factors, such as developing cash flow projections and selecting appropriate royalty and discount rates. The Company amortizes the cost of definite-lived intangible assets over the respective estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, which include property, equipment, and capitalized software, net, operating lease ROU assets and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying values are reduced to the estimated fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or external appraisals, as applicable. During the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized operating lease impairment charges of $25.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The operating lease impairment charges reduce the carrying value of the associated ROU assets and leasehold improvements to the estimated fair values. See Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion around fair value determinations. There was no operating lease impairment charge for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company applies the accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and discloses information on all financial instruments reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. See Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion around fair value determinations. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The Company is compensated by the receipt of commission payments from health insurance health plan partners whose health insurance policies are purchased through the Company’s ecommerce platforms or customer care centers. The Company also generates revenue from non-commission revenue sources, which it refers to as enterprise revenue and which include Encompass services, providing partner marketing and enrollment services, dedicated insurance agent resources for health plan partner-specific programs, sales of insurance leads to other marketing agencies and health plan partners and the implementation and use of the Company’s platform. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for its services in accordance with the following five steps outlined in ASC 606: • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer. A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. Payment of commissions typically commences within 60 days from the policy effective date. Payment terms from non-commission revenue are typically 30 days from the invoice date. • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. • Determination of the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. • Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time, as discussed in further detail below. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. Commission Revenue The Company recognizes commission revenue from the sale of insurance products at the point when health plan partners approve an insurance application produced by the Company. The Company records as commission revenue the expected amount of initial commissions received from the health plan partners and any renewal commissions to be paid on such placement as long as the policyholder remains with the same insurance product. The Company defines its customer to be the health plan partner. The Company typically enters into contractual agency relationships with health plans partners that are non-exclusive and terminable on short notice by either party for any reason. In addition, health plan partners often can terminate or amend agreements unilaterally on short notice, including provisions in agreements relating to the commission rates paid to the Company by the health plan partners. The amendment or termination of an agreement the Company has with a health plan partner may adversely impact the commissions it is paid on health insurance plans purchased from the health plan partner. Compensation in the form of commissions is received from insurance health plan partners for the multiple types of insurance products sold by the Company on behalf of the health plan partners. For Medicare and non-Medicare eligible products, commission revenue generally represents a percentage of the premium amount expected to be collected by the health plan partner while the policyholder is enrolled in the insurance product, including renewal periods. The Company’s performance obligation is complete when a health plan partner has received and approved an insurance application. As such, the Company recognizes revenue at this point in time, which represents the total estimated lifetime commissions it expects to receive for selling the product after the health plan partner approves an application, net of an estimated constraint. The Company’s consideration is variable based on the amount of time it estimates a policy will remain in force. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that it expects to receive based on historical experience or health plan partner experience to the extent available, industry data and expectations as to future retention rates. Additionally, the Company considers application of the constraint and only recognizes the amount of variable consideration that it believes is probable that it will be entitled to receive and will not be subject to a significant revenue reversal in the future. The Company monitors and updates this estimate at each reporting date. The Company does not have any remaining performance obligations in its commission contracts with customers. The Company utilizes a practical expedient to estimate commission revenue for each insurance product by applying the use of a portfolio approach to group approved members by the effective month of the relevant policy (referred to as a “vintage”). This allows the Company to estimate the commissions it expects to collect for each vintage by evaluating various factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates and expected member churn. The Company’s variable consideration includes estimated and constrained lifetime values as the “constrained LTV” for the plans. The Company’s estimate of commission revenue for each product line is based on a number of assumptions, which include, but are not limited to, estimating conversion of an approved applicant to a paying policyholder, forecasting persistency and forecasting the commission amounts likely to be received per policyholder. These assumptions are based on historical trends and incorporate management’s judgment in interpreting those trends and in applying constraints. On a quarterly basis, the Company re-estimates LTV at a vintage level for outstanding vintages, reviews and monitors changes in the data used to estimate LTV, as well as the cash received for each vintage as compared to the original estimates. The difference between cash received for each vintage and the respective estimated LTV can be significant and may or may not be indicative of the need to adjust revenue for prior period vintages. Changes in LTV may result in an increase or a decrease to revenue and a corresponding increase or decrease to commissions receivable. The Company analyzes these differences and, to the extent the Company believes differences in the estimates of the cash received are indicative of an increase or decrease to prior period LTVs, the Company will adjust revenue for the affected vintages at the time such determination is made and when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Enterprise Revenue The Company refers to all non-commission revenue collectively as enterprise revenue, which includes the services and products described below. The Company provides enrollment and engagement services through the Encompass Solution by offering Encompass Connect and Encompass Engage to our health plan partners. Encompass Connect is designed to focus on customer acquisition and to provide enrollment related services to our participating partners. Using machine learning technology, our agents aim to effectively qualify and match individuals with the best plan. The Company is compensated for generating and transferring leads to the health plan partners, and revenue is recognized at a point in time the lead is transferred. The Company’s performance obligation is complete when a health plan partner has received a lead, and consideration is variable based on if the lead results in an effective policy and whether that policy remains in force for 90 days. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that it expects to receive based on historical experience with commissions revenue or health plan partner experience to the extent available, and expectations as to future retention rates. Encompass Engage includes post-enrollment member outreach and engagement services, including facilitating an onboarding experience customized to a members’ plan and health needs. The Company recognizes Encompass Engage revenue over time based on member retention and providing post-enrollment services. The Encompass Solution also offers value-based care provider engagement, health risk assessments, social determinants of health screening and preferred pharmacy programs. The Company recognizes revenue for the related performance obligation at a point in time. The Company is compensated for partner marketing and enrollment services, based on delivering call volumes or providing marketing services to certain insurance health plan partners. The Company is also compensated with performance-based enrollment fees relating to the enrollment of individuals into health insurance plans. The Company recognizes revenue over time for marketing services and at a point in time for enrollment services. The Company provides direct partner campaigns, where trained agents are dedicated to partner programs that assist in producing health insurance policies. The Company is compensated for the hours incurred on the partner program at the time hours are incurred, and recognizes revenue accordingly. The Company provides certain customers access to its technology platform, where it charges for the implementation and monthly access to the software. This application allows health plan partners the use of the Company’s ecommerce platform to offer their own health insurance policies on their websites and agents to utilize the Company’s technology to power their online quoting, content and application submission processes. Typically, the Company is paid a one-time implementation fee, which it recognizes as control is transferred on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the customer relationship (generally the initial term of the agreement), commencing once the technology is available for use by the third party. Incremental Costs to Obtain a Contract The Company reviewed its sales compensation plans, which are directed at converting leads into Submissions, and concluded that they are fulfillment costs and not costs to obtain a contract with a health plan partner, which the Company defines as its customer. Additionally, the Company reviewed compensation plans related to personnel responsible for identifying new health plan partners as well as entering into contracts with new health plan partners and concluded that no incremental costs are incurred to obtain such contracts. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue includes amounts collected from partner marketi |
