HealthEquity reports year-end sales metrics
HSA Members up 50%, AUM up 56%, cash AUM up 58% year-over-year
Draper, Utah – February 8, 2016 – HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ: HQY), one of the nation's largest HSA custodians, today announced HSA Member, AUM and Network Partner growth as of its fiscal year ended January 31, 2016.
The total number of HSAs for which we serve as a non-bank custodian ("HSA Members") as of January 31, 2016 was 2.1 million, an increase of 50%, from 1.4 million as of January 31, 2015. Total assets under management ("AUM") as of January 31, 2016 was $3.7 billion, an increase of 56% from $2.4 billion a year earlier.
Jon Kessler, CEO of HealthEquity, commented, “HealthEquity experienced strong sales results throughout fiscal 2016 culminating in a very strong fourth quarter. Our proprietary platform, unique ecosystem and commitment to remarkable service set HealthEquity apart from competitors." Overall, HealthEquity saw more than three-quarters of a million new HSAs opened in fiscal 2016, reflecting record sales performance, strong secular growth in HSAs, and a successful transition of the Bancorp Bank's HSA portfolio.”
HealthEquity also significantly expanded its health plan and large employer network partnerships during fiscal 2016. It had 513 Network Partners as of January 31, 2016, up from 340 a year earlier. "Growth in the number of our network partnerships shows the diversity in our customer base, as well as future growth prospects," said Kessler.
The year end results reported today do not reflect the impact of the transition of M&T Bank's HSA portfolio, announced during the three months ended January 31, 2016. The transition of the M&T portfolio will occur in March 2016.
