Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
Note 1.
Summary of business and significant accounting policies
HealthEquity, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 18, 2002. The Company offers a full range of innovative solutions for managing health care accounts (Health Savings Accounts, Health Reimbursement Arrangements, and Flexible Spending Accounts) for health plans, insurance companies, and third-party administrators.
Principles of consolidation
—The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HealthEquity, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, HealthEquity Trust Company, HEQ Insurance Services, Inc., and HealthEquity Advisors, LLC (collectively referred to as the "Company").
During the year ended January 31, 2015, the Company and an unrelated company formed a limited partnership for investment in and the management of early stage companies in the healthcare industry. The Company has a
22%
ownership interest in such partnership accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment was approximately
$281,000
as of
October 31, 2016
and is included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
During the year ended
January 31, 2016
, the Company purchased an approximate
2%
ownership interest in a limited partnership that engages in the development of technology-based financial healthcare products. The Company determined there was no significant influence and therefore the investment was accounted for using the cost method of accounting. The investment was
$500,000
as of
October 31, 2016
and is included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of presentation
—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of
October 31, 2016
and for the
three and nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
and
2015
are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 31, 2016
. The fiscal year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
As of
January 31, 2016
, the Company has revised the names of certain financial statement line items to more accurately describe the Company's operations. Amounts previously referred to as account fee revenue are now referred to as service revenue. Amounts previously referred to as custodial fee revenue are now referred to as custodial revenue. Amounts previously referred to as card fee revenue are now referred to as interchange revenue. Amounts previously referred to as account costs are now referred to as service costs. Amounts previously referred to as card costs are now referred to as interchange costs. Amounts previously referred to as other revenue are now included in the service revenue financial statement line item. Amounts previously referred to as other costs are now included in the service costs financial statement line item.
The Company has reclassified certain financial statement line items to conform with the newly revised financial statement line items.
Other expense
—During the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
, the Company incurred
$595,000
of acquisition-related expenses. These expenses are included in other expense, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
During the three months ended
October 31, 2016
, the Company incurred
$237,000
of expenses related to a secondary offering in which existing stockholders of the Company offered and sold
2,500,000
shares of common stock in an underwritten offering. These expenses are included in other expense, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Summary of business and significant accounting policies (continued)
Recent accounting pronouncements
—On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption beginning for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 31, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,
Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)
, which clarifies the guidance in determining revenue recognition as principal versus agent. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,
Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing
, which provides guidance in accounting for immaterial performance obligations and shipping and handling. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,
Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,
which provides clarification on assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes, measurement date for noncash consideration and completed contracts at transition. The foregoing amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim reporting periods within such annual periods.The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is evaluating the effect that these recent pronouncements will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,
Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
, which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that such costs be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputed Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which clarifies that entities may continue to defer and present debt issuance costs associated with a line-of-credit as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred costs ratably over the term of the arrangement. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within the reporting periods and requires retrospective presentation; earlier adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU with no impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as no amounts had been drawn under the Credit Agreement (See Note 7).
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17,
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes
, which simplifies balance sheet classifications of deferred taxes by requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Effective April 30, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2015-17 on a prospective basis, which resulted in the reclassification of the Company's current deferred tax asset between both non-current deferred tax asset and non-current deferred tax liability on its consolidated balance sheet. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities
. The amendments in this ASU revise an entity's accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. This ASU also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential effect of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases
(ASC 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). ASC 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 leases. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
, which amends ASC Topic 718,
Compensation - Stock Compensation
. This ASU simplifies several

Summary of business and significant accounting policies (continued)
aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including; the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential effect of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,
which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential effect of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-15,

(Topic 230), which provides guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential effect of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-16,
Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
, which updates the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim period within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential effect of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 7.
Indebtedness
On September 30, 2015, the Company entered into a new credit facility (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of
$100.0 million
for a term of
five years
. The proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes.
No
amounts have been drawn under the Credit Agreement as of
October 31, 2016
.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest equal to, at the Company's option, a) an adjusted LIBOR rate or b) a customary base rate, in each case with an applicable spread to be determined based on the Company's leverage ratio as of the most recent fiscal quarter. The applicable spread for borrowing under the Credit Agreement ranges from
1.50%
to
2.00%
with respect to adjusted LIBOR rate borrowings and
0.50%
to
1.00%
with respect to customary base rate borrowings. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee ranging from
0.20%
to
0.30%
on the daily amount of the unused commitments under the Credit Agreement payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal quarter.
The Company's material subsidiaries are required to guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Company and the guarantors under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to customary exclusions and exceptions.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a total leverage ratio of not more than
3.00
to
1.00
as of the end of each fiscal quarter and a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least
3.00
to
1.00
as of the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. The restrictive covenants include customary restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness; make investments, loans or advances; grant or incur liens on assets; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make dividend payments. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of
October 31, 2016
.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred
$317,000
in financing costs, which are deferred and are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the agreement.
Note 8.
Income taxes
The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-270,
Income Taxes - Interim Reporting
, for the computation and presentation of its interim period tax provision. Accordingly, management estimated the effective annual tax rate and applied this rate to the year-to-date pre-tax book income to determine the interim provision for income taxes. For the
three and nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of
$2.8 million
and
$11.8 million
, respectively. The resulting effective tax rate was
31.6%
and
34.6%
, compared with an effective tax rate of
36.4%
and
36.6%
for the
three and nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
. For the
three and nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
, the net impact of discrete tax items caused a
4.6%
and
1.2%
decrease to the effective tax rate primarily due to the recognition of research and development tax credits. For the
three and nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
, the net impact of discrete tax items was not material. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the same period last year is primarily due to recognition of a benefit for the federal

Income taxes (continued)
research and development credit. In the same period last year, the federal research and development credit had expired and was renewed in the three months ended
January 31, 2016
.
The Company’s current income taxes payable has been reduced by tax benefits from employee and director stock option plan awards. The Company receives an income tax benefit calculated as the tax effect of the difference between the fair market value of the stock issued at the time of exercise and the exercise price. The Company recorded a benefit of
$16.1 million
during the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
for tax benefits related to stock option exercises that are expected to reduce cash taxes payable during the current fiscal year. Of this amount,
$915,000
was related to excess stock option benefits previously limited under FASB ASC 718-740-25-10,
Compensation-Stock Compensation
, during the year ended
January 31, 2016
. As of
October 31, 2016
, deferred tax assets attributable to excess stock option benefits totaled
$6.7 million
. Such benefit will not be recorded until the deduction reduces cash taxes payable.
As of
October 31, 2016
and
January 31, 2016
, the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefit was
$601,000
and
$393,000
, respectively. As a result of Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, certain unrecognized tax benefits have been netted against their related deferred tax assets; therefore, no unrecognized tax benefit has been recorded as of
October 31, 2016
and
January 31, 2016
. If recognized,
$507,000
of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the Company's effective tax rate as of
October 31, 2016
.
The Company files income tax returns with U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions and is not currently under examination with any jurisdiction. The Company remains subject to examination by federal and various state taxing jurisdictions for tax years after 2005.

The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Expected volatility is determined using weighted average volatility of publicly traded peer companies. The Company expects that it will begin using its own historical volatility in addition to the volatility of publicly traded peer companies, as its share price history grows over time. The risk-free interest rate is determined by using published zero coupon rates on treasury notes for each grant date given the expected term on the options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company expects to invest cash in operations. The Company uses the "simplified" method to estimate expected term as determined under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 due to the lack of sufficient option exercise history as a public company.
As of
October 31, 2016
, the weighted-average vesting period of non-vested awards expected to vest is approximately
2.3 years
; the amount of compensation expense the Company expects to recognize for stock options vesting in future periods is approximately
$14.2 million
.
Restricted stock units
Pursuant to the amended and restated director compensation policy, each non-employee director may elect to receive restricted stock units (with quarterly vesting) in lieu of a cash retainer. The number of restricted stock units is determined by dividing the value of the cash retainer by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. In addition, each non-employee director may elect to receive his or her equity awards in the form of restricted stock units or stock options. Restricted stock units are valued based on the current value of the Company's closing stock

Fair value
Fair value measurements are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
•
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•
Level 2—inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly;
•
Level 3—unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions.
Level 1 instruments are valued based on publicly available daily net asset values. Level 1 instruments consist primarily of highly liquid mutual funds.
The following tables summarize the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level within the fair value hierarchy reflecting the valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value:

Item 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning market opportunity, our future financial and operating results, investment strategy, sales and marketing strategy, management’s plans, beliefs and objectives for future operations, technology and development, economic and industry trends or trend analysis, expectations about seasonality, opportunity for portfolio purchases and other acquisitions, use of non-GAAP financial measures, operating expenses, anticipated income tax rates, capital expenditures, cash flows and liquidity. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016 and in our other reports filed with the SEC. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such events.
Overview
We are a leader and an innovator in the high-growth category of technology-enabled services platforms that empower consumers to make healthcare saving and spending decisions. Our platform provides an ecosystem where consumers can access their tax-advantaged healthcare savings, compare treatment options and pricing, evaluate and pay healthcare bills, receive personalized benefit and clinical information, earn wellness incentives, and make educated investment choices to grow their tax-advantaged healthcare savings.
The core of our ecosystem is the health savings account, or HSA, a financial account through which consumers spend and save long-term for healthcare on a tax-advantaged basis. We refer to HSAs for which we serve as custodian as our HSA Members. We are the integrated HSA platform for 25 of the 50 largest health plans in the country, a number of which are among 31 Blue Cross and Blue Shield health plans in 29 states, and over 33,000 employer clients. Our customers include individuals, employers of all sizes and health plans. We refer to our individual customers as our members, all of our health plan customers as our Health Plan Partners and our employer customers with more than 1,000 employees as our Employer Partners. Our Health Plan Partners and Employer Partners collectively constitute our Network Partners. Through our Network Partners, we have the potential to reach over 72 million consumers, representing approximately 39% of the under-age 65 privately insured population in the United States.
Since our inception in 2002, we have been committed to developing technology solutions that empower healthcare consumers. In 2003, we began offering live 24/7/365 consumer support from health saving and spending experts. In 2005, we integrated HSAs with our first Health Plan Partner, and in 2006, we were authorized to act as an HSA custodian by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In 2009, we integrated HSAs with multiple health plans of a single large employer, began delivering integrated wellness incentives through an HSA, and partnered with a private health insurance exchange as its preferred HSA partner. In 2011, we integrated HSAs, reimbursement arrangements, or RAs, and investment accounts on one website, and in 2013, our registered investment advisor subsidiary began delivering HSA-specific investment advice online.
We generate revenue primarily from three sources: service revenue (previously referred to as account fees), custodial revenue (previously referred to as custodial fees) and interchange revenue (previously referred to as card fees). We generate service revenue by providing monthly account services on our platform, primarily through multi-
-

-
Table of Contents
year contracts with our Network Partners that are typically three to five years in duration. We generate custodial revenue from interest we earn on cash assets under management, or AUM, deposited with our FDIC-insured custodial depository bank partners and with our insurance company partner, and recordkeeping fees we earn from mutual funds in which our members invest on a self-directed basis. We also generate interchange revenue from interchange fees that we earn on payments that our members make using our physical and virtual payment cards.
Key factors affecting our performance
We believe that our performance and future success are driven by a number of factors, including those identified below. Each of these factors presents both significant opportunities and significant risks to our future performance. See the section entitled “Risk factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016.
Structural change in U.S. private health insurance
Substantially all of our revenue is derived from healthcare-related saving and spending by consumers in the United States, which is impacted by changes affecting the broader healthcare industry in the U.S. The healthcare industry has changed significantly in recent years, and we expect that significant changes will continue to occur that will result in increased participation in high deductible health plans that are eligible to be coupled with HSAs, or HSA Plans, and other consumer-centric health plans. In particular, we believe that the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, or related healthcare regulation, over the remainder of this decade, continued growth in healthcare costs, and related factors will spur HSA Plan and HSA growth; however, the timing and impact of these and other developments in the healthcare industry are difficult to predict.
Attracting and penetrating network partners
We created our business model to take advantage of the changing dynamics of the U.S. private health insurance market. Our model is based on a business-to-business-to-consumer distribution strategy, meaning that we rely on our Network Partners to reach potential members to increase the number of our HSA Members. Our success depends in large part on our ability to further penetrate our existing Network Partners by adding new HSA Members from these partners and adding new Network Partners.
Our innovative technology platform
We believe that innovations incorporated in our technology that enable consumers to make healthcare saving and spending decisions differentiate us from our competitors and drive our growth in revenue, HSA Members, Network Partners and AUM. Similarly, these innovations underpin our ability to provide a differentiated consumer experience in a cost-effective manner. For example, we are currently undertaking a significant update of our proprietary platform’s architecture, which will allow us to improve our transaction processing capabilities and related platform infrastructure to support continued account and transaction growth. We intend to continue to invest in our technology development to enhance our platform’s capabilities and infrastructure.
Our “DEEP Purple” culture
The new healthcare consumer needs education and advice delivered by people as well as technology. We believe that our "DEEP Purple" culture which we define as driving excellence, ethics, and process while providing remarkable service, is a significant factor in our ability to attract and retain customers and to nimbly address opportunities in the rapidly changing healthcare sector. We make significant efforts to promote and foster DEEP Purple within our workforce. We invest in and intend to continue to invest in human capital through technology-enabled training, career development and advancement opportunities.

Interest rates
As a non-bank custodian, we contract with FDIC-insured custodial depository bank partners and an insurance company partner to hold cash AUM on behalf of our members, and we generate a significant portion of our total revenue from interest we receive based on interest rates offered to us by these partners. The contract terms range from three to five years and have either fixed or variable interest rates. As our AUM increases and existing agreements expire, we seek to enter into new contracts with FDIC-insured custodial depositary bank partners, the terms of which are impacted by the then-prevailing interest rate environment. The diversification of deposits among bank partners and varied contract terms substantially reduce our exposure to short-term fluctuations in prevailing interest rates and mitigate the short-term impact of a sustained increase or decline in prevailing interest rates to our custodial revenue. A sustained decline in prevailing interest rates may negatively affect our business by reducing the size of the interest rate yield, or yield, available to us and thus the size of the custodial revenue we can realize. Conversely, a sustained increase in prevailing interest rates would present us with an opportunity to increase our yield. An increase in our yield would increase our custodial revenue as a percentage of total revenue. In addition, as our yield increases, we expect the spread to grow between the interest offered to us by our custodial depository bank partners and the interest we offer our members, thus increasing our profitability. Changes in prevailing interest rates are driven by macroeconomic trends and government policies over which we have no control.
Our competition and industry
Our direct competitors are HSA custodians. These are primarily state or federally chartered banks and other financial institutions for which we believe technology-based healthcare services are not a core business. Certain of our direct competitors have chosen to exit the market despite increased demand for these services. This has created, and we believe will continue to create, opportunities for us to leverage our technology platform and capabilities to increase our market share. However, some of our direct competitors are in a position, should they choose, to devote more resources to the development, sale and support of their products and services than we have at our disposal. In addition, numerous indirect competitors, including benefits administration technology and service providers, partner with banks and other HSA custodians to compete with us. For example, our newly formed subsidiary, HealthEquity Trust Company, is regulated by the Wyoming Division of Banking. Our Health Plan Partners may also choose to offer technology-based healthcare services directly, as some health plans have done. Our success depends on our ability to predict and react quickly to these and other industry and competitive dynamics.
Regulatory environment
Federal law and regulations, including the Affordable Care Act, the Internal Revenue Code and IRS regulations, the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Department of Labor regulations, and public health regulations that govern the provision of health insurance, play a pivotal role in determining our market opportunity. Privacy and data security-related laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, laws governing the provision of investment advice to consumers, such as the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or the Advisers Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, anti-money laundry laws, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all play a similar role in determining our competitive landscape. In addition, state-level regulations also have significant implications for our business in some cases. Our ability to predict and react quickly to relevant legal and regulatory trends and to correctly interpret their market and competitive implications is important to our success.
Our acquisition strategy
We have a successful history of acquiring complementary assets and businesses that strengthen our platform. We seek to continue this growth strategy and are regularly engaged in evaluating different opportunities. We have developed an internal capability to source, evaluate and integrate acquisitions that have created value for shareholders. We believe the nature of our competitive landscape provides a significant acquisition opportunity. Many of our competitors view their HSA businesses as non-core functions. We believe they will look to divest these assets and, in certain cases, be limited from making acquisitions due to depository capital requirements. We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary assets and businesses that we believe will strengthen our platform.
Key financial and operating metrics
Our management regularly reviews a number of key operating and financial metrics to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of our resources, make decisions regarding corporate strategies and evaluate forward-looking projections and trends affecting our business. We discuss certain of these key financial metrics, including

The number of our HSA Members is critical because our service revenue is driven by the amount we charge per HSA Member.
The number of our HSA Members increased by approximately 776,000, or 48%, from
October 31, 2015
to
October 31, 2016
, and by approximately 494,000, or 45%, from
October 31, 2014

October 31, 2015
.
The increase in the number of our HSA Members in these periods was driven by the addition of new Network Partners and further penetration into existing Network Partners. In addition, during the year ended
January 31, 2016
, we acquired the rights to be the custodian of the HSA portfolios acquired from The Bancorp Bank and M&T Bank, consisting of approximately 160,000 and 35,000 HSA Members, respectively.

We define AUM as our custodial assets under management. Our AUM, which is our HSA Members' assets under management, consists of the following components: (1) cash AUM, which are deposits with our FDIC-insured custodial depository bank partners, (2) cash AUM invested in an annuity contract with our insurance company partner and (3) members' investments in mutual funds through our custodial investment fund partner. Measuring our AUM is important because our custodial revenue is determined by the applicable account yields and average daily cash AUM balances.
Our total AUM increased by
$1.6 billion
, or
59%
, from
October 31, 2015
to
October 31, 2016
. Our total AUM increased by $857.6 million, or 47%, from
October 31, 2014
to
October 31, 2015
. The increase in total AUM in these periods was driven by additional AUM from our existing HSA Members and new AUM from new HSA Members added during the fiscal year. In addition, during the year ended
January 31, 2016
, we acquired the rights to be the custodian of the HSA portfolios acquired from The Bancorp Bank and M&T Bank, consisting of approximately $390.0 million and $63.0 million of AUM, respectively.

We generate revenue from three primary sources: service revenue, custodial revenue and interchange revenue.
Service revenue.
We earn service revenue from the fees we charge our Network Partners, employer clients and individual members for the administration services we provide in connection with the HSAs and RAs we offer. Our fees are generally based on a fixed tiered structure fixed for the duration of our agreement with the relevant customer, which is typically three to five years, and are paid to us on a monthly basis. We recognize revenue on a monthly basis as services are rendered under our written service agreements.
Custodial revenue.
We earn custodial revenue from our AUM held in trust with our FDIC-insured custodial depository bank partners, our insurance company partner and our custodial investment partner. As a non-bank custodian, we deposit our cash AUM with our various bank partners pursuant to contracts that (i) have terms that range from three to five years, (ii) provide for a fixed or variable interest rate payable on the average daily cash balances deposited with the relevant bank partner, and (iii) have minimum and maximum required deposit balances. We earn custodial revenue on our cash AUM that is based on the interest rates offered to us by these bank partners. In addition, once a member’s HSA cash balance reaches a certain threshold, the member is able to invest
-

Table of Contents
his or her HSA assets in mutual funds through our custodial investment partner. We receive a recordkeeping fee related to such investment AUM.
Interchange revenue.
We earn interchange revenue each time one of our members uses one of our payment cards to make a qualified purchase. This revenue is collected each time a member “swipes” our payment card to pay a healthcare-related expense. We recognize interchange revenue monthly based on reports received from third parties, namely, the card-issuing bank and the card processor.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue includes costs related to servicing member accounts, managing customer and partner relationships and processing reimbursement claims. Expenditures include personnel-related costs, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, common expense allocations (such as office rent, supplies, and other overhead expenses), new member and participant supplies, and other operating costs related to servicing our members. Other components of cost of revenue include interest paid to members on cash AUM and interchange costs incurred in connection with processing card transactions for our members.
Service costs.
Service costs include the servicing costs described above. Additionally, for new accounts, we incur on-boarding costs associated with the new accounts, such as new member welcome kits, the cost associated with issuance of new payment cards and costs of marketing materials that we produce for our Network Partners.
Custodial costs.
Custodial costs are comprised of interest we pay to our HSA Members and fees we pay to banking consultants whom we use to help secure agreements with our FDIC-insured custodial depository banking partners. We pay interest to HSA Members on a tiered basis. The interest rates we pay to HSA Members can be changed at any time upon required notice, which is typically 30 days.
Interchange costs.
Interchange costs are comprised of costs we incur in connection with processing payment transactions initiated by our members. Due to the substantiation requirement on RA-linked payment card transactions, which is the requirement that we confirm each purchase involves a "qualified medical expense" as defined under applicable law, payment card costs are higher for RA card transactions. In addition to fixed per card fees, we are assessed additional transaction costs determined by the amount of the transaction.
Gross profit and gross margin
Our gross profit is our total revenue minus our total cost of revenue, and our gross margin is our gross profit expressed as a percentage of our total revenue. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including the amount we charge our partners and members, interest rates, how many services we deliver per account, and payment processing costs per account. We expect our annual gross margin to remain relatively steady over the near term, although our gross margin could fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these factors.
Operating expenses
Sales and marketing.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our sales and marketing staff, including sales commissions for our direct sales force, external agent/broker commission expenses, marketing expenses, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and common expense allocations.
We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to increase the size of our sales and marketing organization and expand into new markets. On an annual basis, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase slightly as a percentage of our total revenue over the near term. Our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our sales and marketing expenses.
Technology and development.
Technology and development expenses include personnel and related expenses for software engineering, information technology, and product development. Technology and development expenses also include outsourced software engineering services, the costs of operating our on-demand technology infrastructure, depreciation, amortization of capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation, and common expense allocations.
We expect our technology and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future due to higher amortization costs related to our planned capital expenditures to improve the architecture of our proprietary system. On an annual basis, we expect our technology and development expenses to remain unchanged as a percentage of our total revenue. Our technology and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue
-

-
Table of Contents
from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our technology and development expenses.
General and administrative.
General and administrative expenses include personnel and related expenses, and professional fees incurred by our executive, finance, legal, compliance, and people departments. They also include depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and common expense allocations.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future due to the additional legal, compliance, accounting, insurance, investor relations and other public company costs that we incur as we continue to grow as a public company, as well as other costs associated with continuing to grow our business. Looking forward, on an annual basis we expect our general and administrative expenses to remain unchanged as a percentage of our total revenue over the near term. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our general and administrative expenses.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets results from our acquisition of HSA portfolios. We acquired these intangible member assets from third-party custodians. We amortize these assets over the assets’ estimated useful life of 15 years. We evaluate these assets for impairment at least each year, or at a triggering event. Our amortization of acquired intangible assets will increase going forward due to the acquisition of the rights to be the custodian of HSA portfolios acquired from The Bancorp Bank and M&T Bank, which occurred during the year ended
January 31, 2016
. The acquired HSA portfolios each will be amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 15 years.
Other expense, net
Other expense primarily consists of interest expense associated with our credit agreement, non-income-based taxes and acquisition-related expenses, offset by interest income on corporate cash and marketable securities.
Income tax provision
We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States based on a calendar tax year which differs from our fiscal year-end for financial reporting purposes. We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes, under which current tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on the tax returns for the current fiscal year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, net operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. As of
October 31, 2016
, we remain in a federal net deferred tax liability position. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Due to the positive evidence of historical profits coupled with forecasted profitability, no valuation allowance was required as of
October 31, 2016

October 31, 2015
was primarily due to an increase in the number of our HSA Members. The
$12.1 million
increase in service revenue for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
was primarily due to an increase in the number of our HSA Members. The number of our HSA Members increased by approximately 776,000, or 48%, from
October 31, 2015
to
October 31, 2016
.
The growth in the number of our HSA Members from
October 31, 2015
to
October 31, 2016
was due to a combination of growth from our new and existing Network Partners and the acquisition of the rights to be custodian of HSA portfolios acquired from The Bancorp Bank and M&T Bank, during the year ended
January 31, 2016
.
Service revenue per HSA Member decreased for the
three and nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three months ended
October 31, 2015
by approximately 17% and 15%, respectively. Our service fee tier structure incentivizes Network Partners to add HSA Members by charging a lower rate for more HSA Members. As Network Partners add more HSA Members, the account fee per HSA Member will continue to decrease. The decrease in service revenue per HSA Member was partially offset by increases in custodial revenue and interchange revenue per HSA Member.

Custodial revenue
The
$5.8 million
increase in custodial revenue for the three months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three months ended
October 31, 2015
was primarily due to an increase in average daily cash AUM of
$1.4 billion
, or
62%
, and a slight increase in the yield on average cash AUM from 1.55% for the three months ended
October 31, 2015
to 1.57% for the three months ended
October 31, 2016
. Custodial revenue increased for the three months ended
October 31, 2016
as a percentage of our total revenue compared to the three months ended
October 31, 2015
, primarily due to our AUM growing faster than our HSA Members.
The
$17.0 million
increase in custodial revenue for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
was primarily due to an increase in average daily cash AUM of
$1.4 billion
, or
63%
, and a slight increase in the yield on average cash AUM from 1.56% for the nine months ended
October 31, 2015
to 1.57% for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
.
Custodial revenue per HSA Member increased for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
by approximately 10% and 9%, respectively, primarily due the increase in average daily cash AUM balances.
Interchange revenue
The
$3.4 million
increase in interchange revenue for the three months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three months ended
October 31, 2015
was due to an overall increase in the number of our HSA Members and payment activity. We also continued to see a trend toward more HSA spending through payment card transaction swipes and less by checks and ACH or electronic reimbursements, which increased our interchange revenue. In addition, we were able to obtain a higher portion of the available interchange rate due to our increased volume of spend on our platform. As a result of these efforts, interchange revenue per HSA Member increased for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the
three and nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
by approximately 4% and 6%, respectively.
The
$11.6 million
increase in interchange revenue for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
was due to an overall increase in the number of our HSA Members and payment activity.

Custodial costs
The
$925,000
increase in custodial costs for the three months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three months ended
October 31, 2015
was due to an increase in average daily cash AUM which increased from

to
$3.7 billion
for the three months ended
October 31, 2016

Sales and marketing
The
$1.3 million
increase in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three months ended
October 31, 2015
primarily consisted of increased staffing and sales commissions of $819,000 and other expenses of $505,000.
The
$4.1 million
increase in sales and marketing expense for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
primarily consisted of increased staffing and sales commissions of $2.4 million and other expenses of $1.7 million.
We will continue to invest in sales and marketing by hiring additional personnel and promoting our brand through a variety of marketing and public relations activities. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in future periods.
Technology and development
The
$1.8 million
increase in technology and development expense for the three months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three months ended
October 31, 2015
resulted primarily from $773,000 in additional personnel expense. There were increases in amortization and depreciation of $478,000, software subscriptions and maintenance of $363,000, stock compensation of $197,000 and other expenses of $643,000, which were partially offset by an increase in capitalized engineering of $497,000, and redeployment of resources from technology and development to general and administrative of $166,000.

The
$3.9 million
increase in technology and development expense for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the

October 31, 2015
resulted primarily from $2.5 million in additional personnel expense. There were increases in amortization and depreciation of $1.4 million, software subscriptions and maintenance of $759,000, other expenses of $958,000 and stock compensation of $612,000, which were partially offset by an increase in capitalized engineering of $1.7 million, and redeployment of resources from technology and development to general and administrative of $598,000.
We will continue to invest in our proprietary technology platform. The timing of development and enhancement projects, including whether they are capitalized or expensed, will significantly affect our technology and development expense both in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue.
General and administrative
The
$1.7 million
increase in general and administrative expense for the three months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three months ended
October 31, 2015
was primarily attributable to increased personnel of $703,000, professional fees of $503,000, stock compensation of $84,000, other expenses of $233,000, and redeployment of resources from technology and development to general and administrative of $166,000.

As we continue to grow, we expect our general and administrative expense to continue to increase in dollar amount as we expand general and administrative headcount to support our continued growth and the regulatory and compliance requirements of a public company.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets
The
$674,000
and
$2.0 million
increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
was attributable to the $34.2 million and $6.2 million acquisition of the rights to be the custodian of HSA portfolios acquired from The Bancorp Bank and M&T Bank, during the year ended January 31, 2016. We expect the amortization of acquired intangible assets to increase in dollar amount compared to the year ago periods as a result.
Other expense, net
The change in other expense, net for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
, is primarily attributable to the timing of ongoing acquisition-related activity costs, non-income-based taxes, interest income and interest expense.
Income tax provision
Income tax provision for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
was
$2.8 million
and
$11.8 million
, respectively, compared to
$2.3 million
and
$7.8 million
for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
. The increase in income tax provision for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
was primarily the result of an increase in federal and state income taxes driven by an increase in income before income taxes netted with the tax benefit on research and development credits claimed.
Our effective income tax rate for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
was
31.6%
and
34.6%
, compared to
36.4%
and
36.6%
for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
. The 4.8 and 2.0 percentage point decrease for the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
compared to the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
is primarily due to the recognition of research and development tax credits in the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
. During the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
, the federal research and development credit had expired and was renewed in the three months ended January 31, 2016.

Seasonality
Seasonal concentration of our growth combined with our recurring revenue model creates seasonal variation in our results of operations. A significant number of new and existing Network Partners brings new HSA Members beginning in January concurrent with the start of many employers’ benefit plan years. Before we realize any revenue from these new HSA Members, we incur costs related to implementing and supporting our new Network Partners and new HSA Members. These costs of revenue relate to activating the account and the hiring of additional staff, including seasonal help to support our Member Education Center. These expenses begin to increase during our third fiscal quarter with the majority of expenses incurred in our fourth fiscal quarter. We also experience higher operating expenses in our fourth fiscal quarter due to sales commissions for new accounts activated in January.
Liquidity and capital resources
Cash and marketable securities overview
As of
October 31, 2016
, our principal source of liquidity was our current cash and marketable securities balances, collections from our service, custodial and interchange revenue activities, and availability under our credit facility. We rely on cash provided by operating activities to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, which primarily relate to the payment of corporate payroll and other operating costs, and capital expenditures.
As of
October 31, 2016
and
January 31, 2016
, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were
$165.7 million
and $123.8 million, respectively.
Capital resources
We have a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the SEC. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows us at any time to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement accompanying the base prospectus, we would use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, working capital, sales and marketing activities, general and administrative matters and capital expenditures, and if opportunities arise, for the acquisition of, or investment in, assets, technologies, solutions or businesses that complement our business. Pending such uses, we may invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing securities. In addition, we may conduct concurrent or other financings at any time.
We have a secured credit facility of $100.0 million. The credit facility has a term of five years and expires on September 30, 2020. The credit facility contains covenants and events of default customary for facilities of this type. There were no borrowings under the facility as of
October 31, 2016
. We were in compliance with all covenants as of
October 31, 2016
.
Use of cash
Capital expenditures for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
and 2015 were $9.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively. We expect our capital expenditures to increase for the remainder of the year ending January 31, 2017 as we are devoting a significant amount of our capital expenditures to improve the architecture and functionality of our proprietary system. Costs to improve the architecture of our proprietary system include outsourced software engineering services, computer hardware, and personnel and related costs for software engineering. In addition, we plan to devote resources to leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures for new office space adjacent to our headquarters in Draper, Utah, which we began occupying in August 2016.
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. To the extent these current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required, we may not be able to raise it on favorable terms, if at all.

was primarily the result of purchases of software and capitalized software development costs of $6.8 million. This compares to purchases of software and capitalized software development costs of $4.8 million for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
. We continue to develop of our proprietary system and other software necessary to support our continued account growth. Our purchases of property and equipment increased from $1.9 million for the
nine

months ended
October 31, 2016
, the increase was as a result of our new facilities at our company headquarters.
Net cash used in investing activities for the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
was primarily the result of purchases of marketable securities of $40.2 million, the acquisition of an HSA portfolio of $33.8 million during the three months ended October 31, 2015, the $500,000 investment in a limited partnership that engages in the development of technology-based financial healthcare products, and purchases of software and capitalized software development costs of $4.8 million.
Cash flows provided by financing activities.
Cash flow provided by financing activities during the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
resulted primarily from the proceeds associated with the exercise of stock options of $4.5 million and the associated tax benefits of $15.9 million.
Cash flow provided by financing activities during the
nine
months ended
October 31, 2015
resulted primarily from our follow-on offering where we received net proceeds of $23.5 million from the sale of 972,500 shares of our common stock, the exercise of stock options of $1.8 million and the associated tax benefits of $11.3 million. These items were offset by deferred financing costs paid in conjunction with the credit agreement entered into during the three months ended October 31, 2015.
Contractual obligations
Except for the lease amendment described below, there were no material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016.

Table of Contents
On September 16, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment to its lease agreement, dated May 15, 2015, by and between the Company and its landlord to expand its current office space. The term of the lease commenced on July 1, 2016 and will expire on March 31, 2027. The Company will be responsible for payment of taxes and operating expenses for its portion of the building, in addition to an annual base rent in the initial amount of approximately
$569,000
, with
2.5%
annual increases. The material terms of the lease amendment are described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 21, 2016, which is incorporated here in by reference.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
During the three months ended
October 31, 2016
and 2015, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical accounting policies and significant management estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016. There have been no significant or material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
, as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations – Critical accounting policies and significant management estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016.
Recent accounting pronouncements
See Note 1. Summary of business and significant accounting policies within the interim financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion.
Item 3. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures about market risk
Concentration of market risk
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from providing services to tax-advantaged healthcare account holders. A significant downturn in this market or changes in state and/or federal laws impacting the preferential tax treatment of healthcare accounts such as HSAs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. During the three and
nine
months ended
October 31, 2016
, and 2015, no one customer accounted for greater than 10% of our total revenue.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in bank and other depository accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of
October 31, 2016
were
$165.7 million
, of which $750,000 was covered by federal depository insurance. We have not experienced any material losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Our accounts receivable balance as of
October 31, 2016
was
$14.1 million
. We have not experienced any significant write-offs to our accounts receivable and believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk with respect to our accounts receivable.

Interest rate risk
Assets under management
As of
October 31, 2016
, we had cash AUM of approximately
$3.7 billion
. We have entered into depository agreements with financial institutions for our cash AUM. The contracted interest rates were negotiated at the time the depository agreements were executed. A significant reduction in prevailing market interest rates may make it difficult for us to continue to place custodial deposits at the current contracted rates.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be unrestricted cash equivalents. Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held in institutions in the U.S. and include deposits in a money market account that is unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. As of
October 31, 2016
, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of
$125.3 million
. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates.
As of
October 31, 2016
, we had marketable securities of
$40.4 million
. Marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our marketable securities are exposed to market risk due to a fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect the fair market value of our marketable securities. However, because we classify our marketable securities as “available-for-sale,” no gains or losses are recognized in net income due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures included, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time-to-time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of our business activities. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any litigation whereby the outcome of such litigation, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, financial position or brand.
Item 1A. Risk factors
The risks described in “Risk factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016 could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There have been no material changes in such risks. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

We paid a previously declared cash dividend of $50.0 million on shares of our common stock outstanding on August 4, 2014. In addition, we paid a cash dividend of $347,000 on shares of our outstanding series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock accrued through the date of conversion of such shares into common stock, which occurred on August 4, 2014.

$688,000
. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders other than

representing the exercise price of the options that were exercised by certain selling stockholders in connection with the offering. We paid all of the expenses related to the registration and offering of the shares sold by the selling stockholders, other than underwriting discounts and commissions relating to those shares. Other than these expenses, we made no payments directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our public offering as described in our final prospectus (dated May 5, 2015) filed with the SEC on May 6, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act.
During the year ended January 31, 2016, the Company used funds received from the offerings to acquire the rights to be the custodian of HSA portfolios acquired from The Bancorp Bank and M&T Bank, for approximately $34.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
