Financial statements and Supplementary Data HealthEquity, Inc. and subsidiaries Index to consolidated financial statements Page Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID 238 ) 52 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2022 and 2021 55 Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 56 Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the years ended January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 57 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 58 Notes to consolidated financial statements 60 -51- Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of HealthEquity, Inc. Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HealthEquity, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to (i) ineffective controls around the contract-to-cash life cycle of service fees, including ineffective process level controls around billing set-up during customer implementation, managing change to existing customer billing terms and conditions, timely termination of customers, implementing complex and/or non-standard billing arrangements that require manual intervention or manual controls for billing to customers, processing timely adjustments, lack of robust, established and documented policies to assess collectability and reserve for revenue, bad debts and accounts receivable, availability of customer contracts, and reviews of non-standard contracts and (ii) ineffective controls related to information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the areas of logical access and change-management over certain information technology systems that supported its financial reporting processes. Business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management's report on internal control over financial reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Basis for Opinions The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in management's report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of -52- Table of Contents the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. As described in Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, management has excluded Fort Effect Corp, d/b/a Luum (Luum) and the Further business from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2022 because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during fiscal 2022. We have also excluded Luum and Further from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Luum and Further are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting collectively represent approximately 1% and 3%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended January 31, 2022. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Service Revenue Recognition As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's primary sources of revenue are service, custodial, and interchange revenue. The Company’s service revenue was $427 million for the year ended January 31, 2022. To generate service revenue, the Company administers its platforms, prepares statements, provides a mechanism for spending funds, and provides customer support services. All of these services are consumed as they are received. The Company recognizes service revenue, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services, on a monthly basis as it satisfies its performance obligations. The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to service revenue recognition is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to revenue recognition after consideration of the material weaknesses that were identified as described in the “Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section above. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others, evaluating the recognition of service revenue for a sample of revenue transactions by obtaining confirmation from customers or obtaining and inspecting source documents, including invoices, sales contracts, and cash receipts. -53- Table of Contents Valuation of Customer Relationships Relating to the Acquisition of Further As described in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of the Further business (other than Further’s voluntary employee beneficiary association business) for $455 million. Identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition were $172 million, including customer relationships, developed technology, and in-process software development costs. Customer relationships make up $146 million of the identifiable intangible assets acquired. Acquired customer relationships are valued utilizing the discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach. As disclosed by management, significant estimates in valuing acquired customer relationships include, but are not limited to, discount rates and revenue growth rates, net of attrition. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of customer relationships relating to the acquisition of Further is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to discount rates and revenue growth rates, net of attrition; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships intangible asset. These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for determining the fair value of the customer relationships, (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow method; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of certain underlying data used in the discounted cash flow method; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to discount rates and revenue growth rates, net of attrition. Evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, net of attrition, involved evaluating whether the significant assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the past performance of the Further business; (ii) consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the significant assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the Company’s discounted cash flow method and (ii) the reasonableness of management’s significant assumptions related to discount rates and revenue growth rates, net of attrition. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Salt Lake City, Utah March 31, 2022 We have served as the Company’s auditor

Summary of business and significant accounting policies Business HealthEquity, Inc. ("HealthEquity" or the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 18, 2002. HealthEquity is a leader in administering health savings accounts (“HSAs”) and complementary consumer-directed benefits (“CDBs”), which empower consumers to access tax-advantaged healthcare savings while also providing corporate tax advantages for employers. In February 2006, HealthEquity received designation by the U.S. Department of Treasury to act as a passive non-bank custodian, which allows HealthEquity to hold custodial assets for individual account holders. On July 24, 2017, HealthEquity received designation by the U.S. Department of Treasury to act as both a passive and non-passive non-bank custodian, which allows HealthEquity to hold custodial assets for individual account holders and use discretion to direct investment of such assets held. As a passive and non-passive non-bank custodian according to Treasury Regulations section 1.408-2(e)(5)(ii)(B), the Company must maintain net worth (assets minus liabilities) greater than the sum of 2 % of passive custodial funds held at each fiscal year-end and 4 % of the non-passive custodial funds held at each fiscal year-end in order to take on additional custodial assets. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation . Follow-on equity offering In the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company closed a follow-on public offering of 5,750,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $ 80.30 per share, less the underwriters' discount. The Company received net proceeds of $ 456.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $ 4.6 million and other offering expenses of approximately $ 0.5 million. Principles of consolidation The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, which includes all of its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Segments The Company operates in one segment. Management uses one measurement of profitability and does not segregate its business for internal reporting. All long-lived assets are maintained in the United States of America. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held in institutions in the U.S. and include deposits in a money market account that was unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. Client-held funds Many of the Company's client services agreements with employers (referred to as "Clients") provide that Clients remit funds to the Company to pre-fund Client and employee participant contributions related to flexible spending accounts and health reimbursement arrangements (“FSAs” and “HRAs”, respectively) and commuter accounts. These Client-held funds remitted to the Company do not represent cash assets of the Company to the extent that they are not combined with corporate cash, and accordingly are not included in cash and cash equivalents on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. -60- Table of Contents Accounts receivable On February 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments using the modified retrospective transition method. Accounts receivable represent monies due to the Company for monthly service revenue, custodial revenue and interchange revenue. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for expected credit losses from trade receivables considering past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. In evaluating the Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivable balances, the Company considers various factors including macroeconomic variables, the age of the balance, the creditworthiness of the customer, which is assessed based on ongoing credit evaluations and payment history, and the customer’s current financial condition. Investments Marketable equity securities were strategic equity investments with readily determinable fair values for which the Company did not have the ability to exercise significant influence. These securities were accounted for at fair value and were classified as investments on the consolidated balance sheets. All gains and losses on these investments, realized and unrealized, were recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no marketable equity securities. Non-marketable equity securities were strategic equity investments without readily determinable fair values for which the Company did not have the ability to exercise significant influence. These securities were accounted for using the measurement alternative and were classified as other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. All gains and losses on these investments, realized and unrealized, were recognized in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no non-marketable equity securities and an immaterial balance of non-marketable equity securities, respectively. Other assets Other assets consist primarily of contract costs, debt issuance costs, prepaid expenditures, income tax receivables, inventories, and various other assets. Amounts expected to be recouped or recognized over a period of twelve months or less have been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Leases The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception or any modification of the contract. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a specified period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less at commencement are not accounted for on the balance sheet. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Certain leases also include obligations to pay for non-lease services, such as utilities and common area maintenance. The services are accounted for separately from lease components, and the Company allocates payments to the lease and other services components based on estimated stand-alone prices. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Property and equipment Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of individual assets. The useful life for leasehold improvements is the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease ranging from 3 - 5 years. The useful life used for computing depreciation for all other asset classes is described below: Computer equipment 3 - 5 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years -61- Table of Contents Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred, and improvements that extend the economic useful life of an asset are capitalized. Gains and losses on the disposal of property and equipment are reflected in operating expenses. Intangible assets, net Intangible assets are carried at cost and amortized, typically, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful life used for computing amortization for all intangible asset classes is described below: Software and software development costs 3 years Acquired customer relationships 7 - 15 years Acquired developed technology 2 - 5 years Acquired trade names and trademarks 3 years Acquired HSA portfolios 15 years The Company accounts for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software . Costs incurred during operation and post-implementation stages are charged to expense. Costs incurred during the application development stage that are directly attributable to developing or obtaining software for internal use are capitalized. Management’s judgment is required in determining the point when various projects enter the stages at which costs may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. Acquired customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names and trademarks are valued utilizing the discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach. The useful lives of acquired customer relationships were estimated based on discount rates and revenue growth rates, net of attrition. The useful lives of developed technology and trade names were estimated based on expected obsolescence. The Company expenses the assets straight-line over the useful lives, and determined that this amortization method is appropriate to reflect the pattern over which the economic benefits of these acquired assets are realized. Acquired HSA portfolios consist of the contractual rights to administer the activities related to the individual HSAs acquired. The Company used its HSA customer relationship period assumption and the historical attrition rates of member accounts to determine that an average useful life of 15 years and the use of a straight-line amortization method are appropriate to reflect the pattern over which the economic benefits of existing member assets are realized. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually on January 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company’s impairment tests are based on a single operating segment and reporting unit structure. The goodwill impairment test involves a qualitative assessment to compare a reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value, a quantitative comparison is made between the Company's market capitalization and the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value. Self-insurance The Company is self-insured for medical insurance up to certain annual stop-loss limits. The Company establishes a liability as of the balance sheet date for claims, both reported and incurred but not reported, using currently available information as well as historical claims experience, and as determined by an independent third party. Other long-term liabilities Other long-term liabilities consists of long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities that the Company does not expect to settle within one year. -62- Table of Contents Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: • identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; • identification of the performance obligations in the contract; • determination of the transaction price; • allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and • recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Disaggregation of revenue. The Company's primary sources of revenue are service, custodial, and interchange revenue and are disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). All of the Company's sources of revenue are deemed to be revenue contracts with customers. Each revenue source is affected differently by economic factors as it relates to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty. Costs to obtain a contract. ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers , requires capitalizing the costs of obtaining a contract when those costs are expected to be recovered. In order to determine the amortization period for sales commissions contract costs, the Company applied the portfolio approach. Accordingly, the amortization period of the assets has been determined to be the average economic life of an HSA or other CDB relationship, which is estimated to be 15 years and 7 years, respectively. Amortization of capitalized sales commission contract costs is included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company has applied the practical expedient which allows an entity to account for incremental costs of obtaining a contract at a portfolio level. The Company has also applied the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period would have been one year or less. Performance obligations. ASC 606 requires disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations; however, as permitted by ASC 606, the Company has elected to exclude from this disclosure any contracts with an original duration of one year or less and any variable consideration that meets specified criteria. Service revenue. The Company administers its platforms, prepares statements, provides a mechanism for spending funds, and provides customer support services. All of these services are consumed as they are received. The Company recognizes service revenue, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services, on a monthly basis as it satisfies its performance obligations. Custodial revenue. The Company earns custodial revenue primarily from HSA assets deposited with depository partners or placed in group annuity contracts or similar arrangements with insurance company partners, recordkeeping fees earned in respect of mutual funds in which HSA members invest, and Client-held funds deposited with depository partners. In addition, once a member’s HSA cash balance reaches a certain threshold, the member is able to invest his or her HSA assets in mutual funds through a custodial investment partner, from which the Company earns a recordkeeping fee, calculated as a percentage of custodial investments. The deposit of funds represents a service that is simultaneously received and consumed by the depository partners, insurance company partners, and investment partner. The Company recognizes custodial revenue each month, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the service. Interchange revenue. The Company satisfies its interchange performance obligation each time payments are made with its cards via payment networks. The Company recognizes interchange revenue, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the service, in the month the payment transaction occurs. Contract balances. The Company does not recognize revenue until its right to consideration is unconditional and therefore has no related contract assets. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the related services, the Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, until its performance obligations are satisfied. Significant judgments. The Company makes no significant judgments in determining the amount or timing of revenue recognition. The Company has estimated the average economic life of an HSA or CDB member -63- Table of Contents relationship, which has been determined to be the amortization period for the capitalized sales commissions contract costs. Cost of revenue The Company incurs cost of revenue 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, new member and participant supplies, and other operating costs of the member account servicing departments. Other components of the Company’s cost of revenue include interest retained by members on custodial assets held and interchange costs incurred in connection with processing card transactions initiated by members. Stock-based compensation The Company grants stock-based awards, which consist of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), to certain team members, executive officers, and directors. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the grant date estimated fair value. Expense for stock-based awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, and is reversed as pre-vesting forfeitures occur. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of fair value for stock options on the date of grant using an option pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The fair value of RSUs and RSAs is based on the current value of the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant less the present value of future expected dividends discounted at the risk-free interest rate. For stock-based awards with performance conditions, the Company evaluates the probability of achieving the performance criteria and of the number of shares that are expected to vest, and compensation expense is then adjusted to reflect the number of shares expected to vest and the requisite service period. For awards with performance conditions, compensation expense is recognized using the graded-vesting attribution method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation ("Topic 718"). Compensation expense related to stock-based awards with market conditions is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. Upon the exercise of a stock option or release of an RSU/RSA, common shares are issued from authorized, but not outstanding, common stock. Interest Expense Interest expense primarily consists of accrued interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs associated with our long-term debt. Income tax provision (benefit) The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the asset and liability method as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes . Under this method, 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, for net operating losses, and for 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized in future years. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, the second step is to measure the tax benefit in the financial statements as the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Changes in facts and circumstances could have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate and results of operations. -64- Table of Contents Asset acquisitions The Company routinely acquires rights to be the custodian of HSA portfolios, in which substantially all of the fair value of the gross portfolio assets acquired is concentrated in a group of similar HSA assets and therefore the acquisitions do not constitute a business. Accordingly, the acquisitions are accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues . Under the asset acquisition method of accounting, the Company is required to fair value the assets transferred. The cost of the assets acquired, including transaction costs incurred in conjunction with an asset acquisition, is allocated to the individual assets acquired based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill. Business combination Consideration paid for the acquisition of a business as defined by ASC 805-10 is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related expenses incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of a business are recognized in earnings in the period in which they are incurred and are included in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management has made estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized software development costs, evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, accrued compensation, accrued liabilities, grant date fair value of stock options and performance restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements None. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted None. Note 2.

Business combinations WageWorks Acquisition On August 30, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of WageWorks, Inc. (the "WageWorks Acquisition") for $ 51.35 per share in cash, or $ 2.0 billion to WageWorks stockholders. The Company financed the transaction through a combination of $ 816.9 million cash on hand plus net borrowings of approximately $ 1.22 billion, after deducting lender fees of approximately $ 30.5 million, under a term loan facility (see Note 8—Indebtedness). The WageWorks Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The consideration paid was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The initial allocation of the consideration paid was based on a preliminary valuation and was subject to adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The purchase price allocation was finalized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. The following table summarizes the Company's allocation of the consideration paid in the WageWorks Acquisition: (in millions) Initial Allocation Adjustments Updated Allocation Cash and cash equivalents $ 406.8 $ ( 14.5 ) $ 392.3 Other current assets 56.5 2.5 59.0 Property, plant, and equipment 26.6 — 26.6 Operating lease right-of-use assets 42.5 — 42.5 Intangible assets 715.3 — 715.3 Goodwill 1,330.5 ( 8.0 ) 1,322.5 Other assets 5.9 — 5.9 Client-held funds obligation ( 237.5 ) 17.2 ( 220.3 ) Other current liabilities ( 69.1 ) ( 3.7 ) ( 72.8 ) Other long-term liabilities ( 26.7 ) — ( 26.7 ) Deferred tax liability ( 128.7 ) 6.5 ( 122.2 ) Total consideration paid $ 2,122.1 $ — $ 2,122.1 Adjustments to the initial allocation were based on more detailed information obtained about the specific assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and tax-related matters. Pro forma information The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of the WageWorks Acquisition as if it had been consummated as of February 1, 2018, with adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the WageWorks Acquisition, which include adjustments related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest income and expense, and depreciation. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings from the integration of WageWorks. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the WageWorks Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations. The estimated pro forma revenue and net income include the alignment of accounting policies, the effect of fair value adjustments related to the WageWorks Acquisition, associated tax effects and the impact of the borrowings to finance the WageWorks Acquisition and related expenses.

Luum provides employers with various commuter services, including access to real-time commute data to help them design and implement flexible return-to-office and hybrid-workplace strategies and benefits. The aggregate purchase price consisted of $ 50.2 million in cash, and up to $ 20.0 million in additional payments which were contingent on Luum achieving certain revenue targets during the two-year period following -66- Table of Contents the closing of the Luum Acquisition and, if achieved, would be payable in fiscal years 2023 and 2024. The Company recorded an $ 8.1 million liability representing its best estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date. The fair value of this contingent consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on Level 3 inputs, with any changes in the fair value recorded as other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). On October 31, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the purchase agreement to pay $ 6.0 million in satisfaction of the contingent consideration liability, and recognized income of $ 2.1 million resulting from the change in fair value of the contingent consideration. The Luum Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The consideration paid was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The initial allocation of the consideration paid was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Balances subject to adjustment primarily include the valuations of acquired assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities assumed, as well as tax-related matters. The Company expects the allocation of the consideration transferred to be finalized within the measurement period. The following table summarizes the Company's current allocation of the consideration paid: (in thousands) Estimated fair value Adjustments Updated Allocation Cash and cash equivalents $ 626 $ — $ 626 Other current assets 1,469 — 1,469 Intangible assets 23,900 — 23,900 Goodwill 36,374 ( 19 ) 36,355 Other assets 100 — 100 Current liabilities ( 597 ) — ( 597 ) Deferred tax liability ( 3,566 ) 19 ( 3,547 ) Total consideration paid $ 58,306 $ — $ 58,306 The Luum Acquisition resulted in $ 36.4 million of goodwill. The preliminary goodwill recognized is attributable to several strategic, operational, and financial benefits expected from the Luum Acquisition, including an expanded commuter offering beyond traditional pre-tax commuter benefits and additional cross-selling opportunities. The adjustments to the initial allocation were based on more detailed information obtained about the specific assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and tax-related matters. The goodwill created in the Luum Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary allocation of consideration exchanged to acquired identified intangible assets is as follows: ($ in thousands) Fair value Estimated life (in years) Customer relationships (1) $ 12,400 7.0 Developed technology (1) 10,900 5.0 Trade names & trademarks (1) 600 3.0 Total acquired intangible assets $ 23,900 6.0 (1) The Company preliminarily valued the acquired assets utilizing the discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach. The pro forma effects of the Luum Acquisition would not materially impact the Company's reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial information is presented. Further acquisition On November 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of the Further business (other than Further's voluntary employee beneficiary association business) for $ 455 million (the "Further Acquisition"). Further is a leading provider of HSA and other CDB administration services. The parties also entered into related agreements ancillary to the Further Acquisition, including a transition services agreement. The Further Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The consideration paid was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The initial allocation of the consideration paid was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the -67- Table of Contents acquisition date). Balances subject to adjustment primarily include the valuations of acquired assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities assumed, as well as tax-related matters. The Company expects the allocation of the consideration transferred to be finalized within the measurement period.

Commitments and contingencies Commitments The following table summarizes the payments due by fiscal year for our outstanding contractual obligations as of January 31, 2022: Payments due by fiscal year (in thousands) 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Thereafter Total 4.50 % Senior Notes due 2029 (1) $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 600,000 $ 600,000 Term Loan Facility (1) 8,750 17,500 17,500 26,250 280,000 — 350,000 Interest on long-term debt obligations (2) 33,951 33,708 33,467 32,965 30,764 72,975 237,830 Operating lease obligations (3) 12,527 10,501 10,849 11,094 11,344 40,671 96,986 HealthSavings portfolio acquisition (4) 60,000 — — — — — 60,000 Other contractual obligations (5) 25,243 13,191 6,137 5,516 6,500 — 56,587 Total $ 140,471 $ 74,900 $ 67,953 $ 75,825 $ 328,608 $ 713,646 $ 1,401,403 (1) As of January 31, 2022, our outstanding combined principal of $ 950.0 million is presented net of debt issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets. The debt issuance costs are not included in the table above. (2) Estimated interest payments assume the stated interest rates applicable to the Notes and Term Loan Facility as of January 31, 2022, which were 4.50 % and 1.88 % per annum, respectively. (3) We lease office space and data storage facilities, and we have other non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2030. These amounts exclude contractual sublease income of $ 2.2 million, which is expected to be received through March 2023. (4) On March 2, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of the Health Savings Administrators, L.L.C. ("HealthSavings") HSA portfolio for $ 60 million in cash. (5) Other contractual obligations consist of processing services agreements, telephony services, and other contractual commitments. Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Legal matters In April 2021, WageWorks exercised its right to terminate a lease for office space in Mesa, Arizona that had not yet commenced, with aggregate lease payments of $ 63.1 million and a term of approximately 11 years, following the -71- Table of Contents landlord's failure to fulfill its obligations under the lease agreement. Because the lease had not yet commenced, the Company had not recognized a right-of-use asset, operating lease liability, or any rent expense associated with the lease. WageWorks' right to terminate the lease agreement was disputed by the landlord, Union Mesa 1, LLC (“Union Mesa”). On November 5, 2021, Union Mesa notified WageWorks that it was in default of the lease for failure to pay rent, which Union Mesa claimed was due beginning in November 2021, and on November 24, 2021 drew $ 2.8 million, the full amount under the letter of credit that WageWorks had posted to secure its obligations under the lease. The Company recorded the $ 2.8 million draw as merger integration expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). On December 1, 2021, WageWorks filed a lawsuit against Union Mesa in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa. On January 4, 2022, WageWorks filed an amended complaint in the Superior Court. Pursuant to the lawsuit, WageWorks seeks declaratory judgment that the lease was properly terminated and recourse against Union Mesa for breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and conversion, including return of the funds drawn under the letter of credit. On January 31, 2022, Union Mesa filed a motion to dismiss for the conversion cause of action, but has not yet responded to WageWorks' other claims raised in the amended complaint. On March 9, 2018, a putative class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Securities Class Action”). On May 16, 2019, a consolidated amended complaint was filed by the lead plaintiffs asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against WageWorks, its former Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer on behalf of purchasers of WageWorks common stock between May 6, 2016 and March 1, 2018. The complaint also alleged claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, arising from WageWorks’ June 19, 2017 common stock offering against those same defendants, as well as the members of its board of directors at the time of that offering. The class action settled for $ 30.0 million. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, WageWorks contributed $ 5.0 million and its insurers paid the remaining $ 25.0 million. The court granted final approval of the settlement and entered a final judgment on August 20, 2021. This matter is now closed. On June 22, 2018 and September 6, 2018, two derivative lawsuits were filed against certain of WageWorks’ former officers and directors and WageWorks (as nominal defendant) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo. The actions were consolidated. On July 23, 2018, a similar derivative lawsuit was filed against certain former WageWorks’ officers and directors and WageWorks (as nominal defendant) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (together, the “Derivative Suits”). The allegations in the Derivative Suits relate to substantially the same facts as those underlying the Securities Class Action described above. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, fees and costs. Plaintiffs in the Superior Court action filed an amended consolidated complaint on October 28, 2019, naming as defendants certain former officers and directors of WageWorks and alleging a direct claim of "inseparable fraud/breach of fiduciary duty" on behalf of a class. WageWorks was not named as a party in that complaint. On June 24, 2020, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a notice of appeal. On October 28, 2021, the court of appeal dismissed the appeal pursuant to the release in the class action settlement discussed above. The District Court action is currently stayed . WageWorks previously entered into indemnification agreements with its former directors and officers and, pursuant to these indemnification agreements, is covering the defense fees and costs of its former directors and officers in the legal proceedings described above. The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other litigation, governmental proceedings and claims, not described above, that arise in the normal course of business. It is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome or the duration of such litigation, governmental proceedings or claims, or the impact that such litigation, proceedings and claims will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As required under GAAP, the Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that any liabilities relating to these matters are probable or that the amount of any resulting loss is estimable. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs, and potentially in future periods. -72- Table of Contents Note 8. Indebtedness Long-term debt consisted of the following: (in thousands) January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 4.50 % Senior Notes due 2029 $ 600,000 $ — Term Loan Facility 350,000 — Prior Term Loan Facility — 1,003,125 Principal amount 950,000 1,003,125 Less: unamortized discount and issuance costs (1) 19,173 16,408 Total debt, net 930,827 986,717 Less: current portion of long-term debt 8,750 62,500 Long-term debt, net $ 922,077 $ 924,217 (1) In addition to the $ 19.2 million and $ 16.4 million of unamortized discount and issuance costs related to long-term debt as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, $ 4.4 million and $ 5.0 million of unamortized issuance costs related to our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) are included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, respectively. 4.50 % Senior Notes due 2029 On October 8, 2021, the Company completed its offering of $ 600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.50 % Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated October 8, 2021, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes together with borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and cash on hand, were used to repay the outstanding borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement (as defined below). The Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing, wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantees its obligations under the Credit Agreement and are required to be guaranteed by any of the Company’s future subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the Credit Agreement or certain of its other indebtedness. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2029. Interest on the Notes will be payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2022. As of January 31, 2022, the balance of accrued interest on the Notes was $ 8.7 million, which is included within accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The effective interest rate on the Notes is 4.72 %. The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment to all of its existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of its future subordinated debt. The Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2024, at a redemption price if redeemed during the 12 months beginning (i) October 1, 2024 of 102.250 %, (ii) October 1, 2025 of 101.125 %, and (iii) October 1, 2026 and thereafter of 100.000 %, in each case of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, and together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem some or all of the Notes before October 1, 2024 at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Notes, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time prior to October 1, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture on one or more occasions in an aggregate amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 104.500 % of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Furthermore, the Company may be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes upon the sale of certain assets or upon specific kinds of changes of control. The Indenture contains covenants that impose significant operational and financial restrictions on the Company; however, these covenants generally align with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. See "Credit Agreement" below for a description of these covenants. Credit Agreement On October 8, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) and the Swing Line Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and each L/C Issuer (as defined therein) party thereto, pursuant to which the Company established: -73- Table of Contents (i) a five-year senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of $ 350.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to refinance the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility as described below (the “Refinancing”), to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing and the establishment of the Credit Facilities (as defined below) and for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the financing of acquisitions and other investments; and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 1.0 billion (with a $ 25 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit), the proceeds of which may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the financing of acquisitions and other investments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement (including obtaining additional commitments from one or more new or existing lenders), the Company may in the future incur additional loans or commitments under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 300 million, plus an additional amount so long as the Company’s pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would not exceed 3.85 to 1.00 as of the date such loans or commitments are incurred. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either (i) LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 2.25 % or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 1.25 %, with the applicable margin determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. As of January 31, 2022, the stated interest rate was 1.88 % and the effective interest rate was 2.63 %. The Company is also required to pay certain fees to the Lenders, including, among others, a quarterly commitment fee on the average unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.20 % to 0.40 %, with the applicable rate also determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. The loans made under the Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to the following percentage of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility: (i) 2.5 % for the first year after October 8, 2021; (ii) 5.0 % for each of the second and third years after October 8, 2021; (iii) 7.5 % for the fourth year after October 8, 2021; and (iv) 10.0 % for the fifth year after October 8, 2021. In addition, the Term Loan Facility is required to be mandatorily prepaid with 100 % of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales, insurance and condemnation recoveries, subject to customary exceptions and thresholds, including to the extent such proceeds are reinvested in assets useful in the business of the Company and its subsidiaries within 450 days following receipt (or committed to be reinvested within such 450 -day period and reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 450 -day period). The loans under the Credit Facilities may be prepaid, and the commitments thereunder may be reduced, by the Company without penalty or premium, subject to the reimbursement of customary “breakage costs.” The Credit Agreement contains significant, customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge or dissolve, make investments, dispose of assets, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make distributions and dividends and prepayments of junior indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into restrictive agreements, amend documentation governing junior indebtedness, modify its fiscal year and modify its organizational documents, in each case, subject to customary exceptions, thresholds, qualifications and “baskets.” In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial performance covenants, which require the Company to maintain (i) a maximum total net leverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2022, and (ii) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no less than 3.00 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2022. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of January 31, 2022, and for the period then ended. The repayment obligation under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, including, among other things, failure to pay principal, interest or fees on a timely basis, material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, failure to comply with covenants, cross-default to other material debt, material judgments, change of control and certain insolvency or bankruptcy-related events, in each case, subject to any certain grace and/or cure periods. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are required to be unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing or subsequently acquired or organized direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and are -74- Table of Contents secured by security interests in substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions. Prior Credit Agreement On August 30, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Prior Credit Agreement”) that provided for: (i) a five-year senior secured term loan A facility (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of $ 1.25 billion; and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Prior Term Loan Facility, the “Prior Credit Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 350.0 million. No amounts were drawn under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Facilities bore interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of HealthEquity, either (i) LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 2.25 % or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 1.25 %, with the applicable margin determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Prior Credit Agreement. The Company was also required to pay certain fees to the lenders, including, among others, a quarterly commitment fee on the average unused amount of the Prior Revolving Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.20 % to 0.40 %, with the applicable rate also determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Prior Credit Agreement. The Prior Credit Agreement contained customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Prior Credit Agreement during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. The obligations of HealthEquity under the Prior Credit Agreement were required to be unconditionally guaranteed by WageWorks and Fort Effect Corp and were secured by security interests in substantially all assets of HealthEquity and the guarantors, subject to certain customary exceptions. On October 8, 2021, in connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company repaid all outstanding obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement and terminated all commitments thereunder.

Income taxes The income tax provision (benefit) consisted of the following: Year ended January 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Current: Federal $ 628 $ 181 $ ( 448 ) State 239 258 274 Total current tax provision (benefit) $ 867 $ 439 $ ( 174 ) Deferred: Federal $ ( 21,197 ) $ ( 1,630 ) $ 3,538 State ( 2,122 ) ( 3,503 ) 127 Total deferred tax provision (benefit) $ ( 23,319 ) $ ( 5,133 ) $ 3,665 Total income tax provision (benefit) $ ( 22,452 ) $ ( 4,694 ) $ 3,491 -75- Table of Contents Total income tax provision (benefit) differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes as a result of the following: Year ended January 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Federal income tax provision (benefit) at the statutory rate $ ( 14,016 ) $ 869 $ 9,063 State income tax provision (benefit), net of federal tax provision (benefit) ( 3,733 ) ( 99 ) 960 Other non-deductible or non-taxable items, net ( 165 ) 469 798 Excessive employee remuneration 1,214 1,186 2,117 Excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation expense, net ( 5,098 ) ( 2,983 ) ( 4,815 ) Federal research and development credits ( 4,218 ) ( 2,195 ) ( 2,296 ) Change in uncertain tax position reserves, net of indirect benefits 836 511 491 Non-deductible acquisition-related costs — — 3,032 Non-taxable gain on investment in subsidiary — — ( 5,790 ) Reclassification of operating lease right-of-use assets — 185 — Change in net operating losses due to measurement period adjustments — 377 — Deferred tax rate adjustment due to merger integration 725 ( 1,814 ) 225 Return-to-provision adjustments ( 810 ) ( 1,010 ) ( 332 ) Change in valuation allowance 3,457 ( 145 ) 93 Other items, net ( 644 ) ( 45 ) ( 55 ) Total income tax provision (benefit) $ ( 22,452 ) $ ( 4,694 ) $ 3,491 The Company’s effective income tax rate for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was an effective income tax benefit rate of 33.6 % and 113.4 % and an effective income tax expense rate of 8.1 %, respectively. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate each period is impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of earnings among state jurisdictions, credits, excess tax benefits or shortfalls on stock-based compensation expense, changes in valuation allowance, and other items. The decrease in the effective tax benefit rate for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 was primarily due to the impact of tax benefit items, such as stock-based compensation expense, credits, and changes to the valuation allowance, relative to the larger pre-tax book loss and smaller pre-tax book income, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation expense, deferred tax rate adjustments due to the integration of WageWorks, and research and development credits recognized in the provision for income taxes relative to pre-tax book income. -76- Table of Contents Deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following: (in thousands) January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforward $ 5,542 $ 1,653 Stock compensation 14,778 12,600 Research and development credits 13,351 6,274 Lease liabilities 19,356 21,813 Accruals and reserves 7,729 10,591 Other, net 3,728 1,755 Total gross deferred tax assets $ 64,484 $ 54,686 Less valuation allowance ( 3,561 ) ( 104 ) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 60,923 54,582 Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets ( 1,862 ) ( 4,946 ) Intangible assets ( 119,048 ) ( 134,442 ) Incremental contract costs ( 9,585 ) ( 6,385 ) Right-of-use assets ( 16,923 ) ( 22,285 ) Goodwill ( 11,481 ) ( 6,081 ) Other, net ( 1,870 ) ( 172 ) Total gross deferred tax liabilities ( 160,769 ) ( 174,311 ) Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ ( 99,846 ) $ ( 119,729 ) Management considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets would be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities in making this assessment and determined that based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the Company will be able to realize most of its deferred tax assets. However, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $ 3.6 million and $ 0.1 million as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance recorded is primarily the result of state research and development tax credits that are not expected to be utilized before expiration. As of January 31, 2022, the Company had recorded federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 12.1 million and $ 50.1 million, respectively, which begin to expire at various intervals following the tax year ending January 31, 2029. As of January 31, 2022, the Company also had federal and state research and development credits of $ 10.9 million each, which begin to expire following the tax years ending January 31, 2032 and 2023, respectively. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the gross unrecognized tax benefit was $ 11.7 million and $ 10.2 million, respectively. If recognized, $ 10.8 million and $ 9.4 million of the total unrecognized tax benefits would affect the Company's effective tax rate as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $ 1.4 million in the period from January 31, 2021 to January 31, 2022. A tabular reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including the impact of purchase accounting from the Luum Acquisition, is as follows: (in thousands) January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 10,206 $ 9,370 Gross amounts of increases and decreases: Purchase accounting adjustments 240 — Increases as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period 38 1 Increases as a result of tax positions taken during the current period 1,169 835 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 11,653 $ 10,206 Certain unrecognized tax benefits are required to be netted against their related deferred tax assets as a result of ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar -77- Table of Contents Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists .

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recorded penalties and interest of $ 0.7 million, $ 0.2 million, and $ 0.1 million, respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded accrued interest and penalties of $ 1.5 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively. The Company files income tax returns with U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions and is currently under examination by the IRS and the state of Texas. These examinations may lead to ordinary course adjustments or proposed adjustments to our taxes, net operating losses, and/or tax credit carryforwards. As a result of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, the Company remains subject to examination by one or more jurisdictions for tax years after 2001. Note 10.

In addition, under the Incentive Plan, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan automatically increases on February 1 of each year, beginning as of February 1, 2015 and continuing -78- Table of Contents through and including February 1, 2024, by 3 % of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on January 31 of the preceding fiscal year, or a lesser number of shares determined by the board of directors. As of January 31, 2022, 7.4 million shares were available for grant under the Incentive Plan. Stock options Under the terms of the Incentive Plan, the Company has the ability to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to Company team members. Nonqualified stock options may be granted to Company executive officers, other team members, directors and consultants. Such options are to be exercisable at prices, as determined by the board of directors, which must be equal to no less than the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant. Stock options granted under the Incentive Plan generally expire 10 years from the date of issuance, or are forfeited 90 days after termination of employment. Shares of common stock underlying stock options that are forfeited or that expire are returned to the Incentive Plan. Valuation assumptions. The Company has adopted the provisions of Topic 718, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to team members and directors, based on estimated fair values. Under Topic 718, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the method of valuation for stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant is affected by the fair value of the stock as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The variables include, but are not limited to, (1) the expected life of the option, (2) the expected volatility of the fair value of the Company's common stock over the term of the award estimated by averaging the Company's historical volatility in addition to published volatilities of a relative peer group, (3) risk-free interest rate, and (4) expected dividends. No options were granted during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $ 23.68 and $ 25.97 per share, respectively. The key input assumptions utilized in the valuation of the stock options were as follows: Year ended January 31, 2022 2021 2020 Expected dividend yield n/a 0 % 0 % Expected stock price volatility n/a 37.97 % 35.98 % - 36.53 % Risk-free interest rate n/a 1.39 % 2.21 % - 2.43 % Expected life of options n/a 5.18 years 4.95 - 5.09 years Expected volatility is determined using a weighted average volatility of publicly traded peer companies and the Company's own historical volatility. 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 has no current plans to pay dividends on its common stock. A summary of stock option activity is as follows: Outstanding stock options (in thousands, except for exercise prices and term) Number of options Range of exercise prices Weighted- average exercise price Weighted- average contractual term (in years) Aggregate intrinsic value Outstanding as of January 31, 2021 1,674 $ 1.25 - 82.39 $ 31.46 5.00 $ 87,164 Exercised ( 442 ) $ 1.25 - 44.53 $ 19.81 Outstanding as of January 31, 2022 1,232 $ 1.25 - 82.39 $ 35.64 4.20 $ 25,719 Vested and expected to vest as of January 31, 2022 1,232 $ 35.64 4.20 $ 25,719 Exercisable as of January 31, 2022 1,148 $ 33.09 4.00 $ 25,719 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the estimated fair value of common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $ 19.3 million, $ 15.4 million, and $ 22.5 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2022, the weighted-average vesting period of non-vested awards expected to vest is approximately 0.7 years; the amount of compensation expense the Company expects to recognize for stock options vesting in future periods is approximately $ 1.1 million. -79- Table of Contents Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards The Company grants RSUs and RSAs to certain team members, officers, and directors under the Incentive Plan. RSUs and RSAs vest upon service-based criteria and performance-based criteria. Generally, service-based RSUs and RSAs vest over a four-year period in equal annual installments commencing upon the first anniversary of the grant date. RSUs and RSAs are valued based on the current value of the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant less the present value of future expected dividends discounted at the risk-free interest rate. The weighted-average fair value of RSUs granted during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $ 64.87 , $ 56.93 and $ 65.20 per share, respectively. Performance restricted stock units and awards. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, the Company awarded 129,963 PRSUs (the “FY20 PRSUs”). The Company recorded stock-based compensation related to the FY20 PRSUs when it was considered probable that the performance conditions would be met. In March 2020, the Compensation Committee modified the vesting conditions of the FY20 PRSUs by basing the first year of the award solely on the Company’s revenue CAGR for the first year, exclusive of the revenue recognized through the WageWorks Acquisition, and measured using the original revenue CAGR targets set by the Compensation Committee in respect of such awards. As a result, one-third of the FY20 PRSUs were deemed by the Compensation Committee to be earned at target; however, despite this determination, and in order to encourage retention of our executive officers, our executive officers were required to remain employed until the remaining performance conditions for the FY20 PRSUs were certified by the Compensation Committee. The remaining two-thirds of the FY20 PRSUs vested based on the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP) relative to target given the importance of the Company generating sufficient cash flow to service the additional indebtedness incurred in connection with the WageWorks Acquisition. The modification affected 12 team members and resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $ 6.6 million, which was recognized over the remaining service period, adjusted for the level of achievement of the performance conditions and any forfeitures. Prior to the modification, the Company did not believe the FY20 PRSUs were likely to vest, and as a result, $ 2.9 million of previously recorded stock-based compensation expense was reversed during the three months ended April 30, 2020. The modified performance conditions for the second and third tranches allowed for a range of vesting from 0 % to 200 % based on the level of achievement of the new performance conditions. The Company's actual net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 was below the threshold level of achievement, and for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 was 163 % of the target level of achievement. Previously recorded stock-based compensation expense associated with FY20 PRSUs that did not vest was reversed during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 when it was no longer considered probable that the performance conditions would be met. The FY20 PRSUs cliff vested upon approval by the Compensation Committee, which occurred in March 2022. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, the Company awarded 277,950 PRSUs subject to a market condition based on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the Russell 2000 index as measured on January 31, 2023. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine that the grant date fair value of the awards was approximately $ 20.8 million. Compensation expense is recorded if the service condition is met regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. The market condition allows for a range of vesting from 0 % to 200 % based on the level of performance achieved. The PRSUs cliff vest upon approval by the Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, the Company awarded 249,750 PRSUs subject to a market condition based on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the Russell 2000 index as measured on January 31, 2024. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine that the grant date fair value of the awards was approximately $ 22.4 million. Compensation expense is recorded if the service condition is met regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. The market condition allows for a range of vesting from 0 % to 200 % based on the level of performance achieved. The PRSUs cliff vest upon approval by the Compensation Committee. -80- Table of Contents A summary of the RSU and RSA activity is as follows: RSUs and PRSUs RSAs and PRSAs (in thousands, except weighted-average grant date fair value) Shares Weighted-average grant date fair value Shares Weighted-average grant date fair value Outstanding as of January 31, 2021 1,832 $ 60.41 193 $ 61.77 Granted 1,827 64.87 — — Vested ( 482 ) 59.60 ( 116 ) 61.77 Forfeited ( 437 ) 62.81 ( 75 ) 61.77 Outstanding as of January 31, 2022 2,740 $ 63.15 2 $ 61.72 During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 the aggregate intrinsic value of RSUs and RSAs vested was $ 40.9 million, $ 31.8 million, and $ 25.0 million, respectively. Total unrecorded stock-based compensation expense as of January 31, 2022 associated with RSUs and PRSUs was $ 123.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. Total unrecorded stock-based compensation expense as of January 31, 2022 associated with RSAs and PRSAs was less than $ 0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.2 years. Note 11. 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; and • Level 3—unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions. Cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 instruments and are valued based on publicly available daily net asset values. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Notes are valued based upon quoted market prices and are considered Level 2 instruments because the markets in which the Notes trade are not considered active markets. As of January 31, 2022, the fair value of the Notes was $ 588.4 million. The Term Loan Facility is considered a Level 2 instrument and recorded at book value in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Term Loan Facility reprices frequently due to variable interest rate terms and entails no significant changes in credit risk. As a result, the fair value of the Term Loan Facility approximates carrying value. The Prior Term Loan Facility was considered a Level 2 instrument and recorded at book value in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Prior Term Loan Facility repriced frequently due to variable interest rate terms and entailed no significant changes in credit risk. As a result, the fair value of the Prior Term Loan Facility approximated carrying value. The contingent consideration liability resulting from the Luum Acquisition was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on Level 3 inputs. The estimate of fair value of the contingent consideration obligation required subjective assumptions to be made regarding revenue growth rates, discount rates, peer revenue volatilities, and probabilities assigned to various potential business result scenarios and was determined using probability assessments with respect to the likelihood of achieving certain revenue targets. The fair value measurement was based on inputs unobservable in the market and thus represented a level 3 measurement. On October 31, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the purchase agreement to pay $ 6.0 million in satisfaction of the contingent consideration liability, and accordingly, the liability was transferred out of Level 3 as it was no longer measured at fair value. For further information, see Note 3—Business combination. -81- Table of Contents The following table reconciles the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022: (in thousands) Carrying amount Balance as of January 31, 2021 $ — Contingent consideration recognized at acquisition 8,147 Change in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) ( 2,147 ) Payments ( 6,000 ) Balance as of January 31, 2022 $ — Note 12. Employee benefits The Company has established a 401(k) plan that qualifies as a deferred compensation arrangement under Section 401 of the IRS Code. All non-seasonal team members over the age of 21 are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides for Company matching of employee contributions up to 3.5 % of eligible earnings. Employer matching contribution expense was $ 7.1 million, $ 6.5 million and $ 3.7 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company is self-insured for medical and dental benefits for all qualifying employees. The medical plan carries a stop-loss policy which will protect from individual claims during the plan year exceeding $ 350,000 . The Company records estimates of costs of claims incurred based on an analysis of historical data and independent estimates. The Company's liability for self-insured medical claims is included in accrued compensation in its consolidated balance sheet and was $ 3.9 million and $ 3.5 million as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Note 13. Subsequent events On March 2, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of the Health Savings Administrators, L.L.C. HSA portfolio for $ 60 million in cash. -82- Table of Contents Item 9.
