statements Note 1. 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. 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. Basis of presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2023 and for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 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 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 fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. The fiscal year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Significant accounting policies There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements None. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted None. -8- Table of Contents Note 2. Net income (loss) per share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: Three months ended April 30, (in thousands, except per share data) 2023 2022 Numerator (basic and diluted): Net income (loss) $ 4,094 $ ( 13,639 ) Denominator (basic): Weighted-average common shares outstanding 85,030 84,022 Denominator (diluted): Weighted-average common shares outstanding 85,030 84,022 Weighted-average dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units 1,072 — Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 86,102 84,022 Net income (loss) per share: Basic $ 0.05 $ ( 0.16 ) Diluted $ 0.05 $ ( 0.16 ) For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 1.0 million and 2.0 million shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Note 3. Supplemental financial statement information Selected condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) components consisted of the following: Property and equipment Property and equipment consisted of the following: (in thousands) April 30, 2023 January 31, 2023 Leasehold improvements $ 18,072 $ 18,269 Furniture and fixtures 8,392 8,392 Computer equipment 27,546 28,021 Property and equipment, gross 54,010 54,682 Accumulated depreciation ( 43,478 ) ( 41,820 ) Property and equipment, net $ 10,532 $ 12,862 Depreciation expense for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 was $ 2.5 million and $ 3.3 million, respectively. 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. As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, the balance of deferred revenue was $ 7.8 million and $ 8.3 million, respectively. The balances are related to cash received in advance for interchange and custodial revenue arrangements, other up-front fees and other commuter deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize approximately 62 % of its balance of deferred revenue as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, approximately $ 1.5 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the balance of deferred revenue as of January 31, 2023. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining obligations for these arrangements. -9- Table of Contents Leases The components of operating lease costs were as follows: Three months ended April 30, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Operating lease expense $ 2,601 $ 2,859 Sublease income ( 362 ) ( 495 ) Net operating lease expense $ 2,239 $ 2,364 Other income (expense), net Other income (expense), net, consisted of the following: Three months ended April 30, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Interest income $ 1,598 $ 52 Acquisition costs — ( 6 ) Other income (expense), net 230 ( 347 ) Total other income (expense), net $ 1,828 $ ( 301 ) Interest expense Based on the application of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments , the Company recorded a $ 1.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the prepayment of $ 50.0 million under the Company's Term Loan Facility (as defined in Note 6—Indebtedness) during the three months ended April 30, 2023, which is included within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended April 30, 2023.

Goodwill There were no changes to the carrying value of goodwill during the three months ended April 30, 2023. Note 5. Commitments and contingencies Commitments The Company’s principal commitments consist of long-term debt, operating lease obligations for office space and data storage facilities, processing services agreements, software subscriptions, telephony services, and other contractual commitments. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company used $ 50.0 million of cash to prepay, in direct order of maturity, principal due under its Term Loan Facility. There were no other material changes during the three months ended April 30, 2023, outside of the ordinary course of business, in the Company's commitments from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. 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, Inc. ("WageWorks"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, 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 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. 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, which the Superior Court denied on April 13, 2022. On May 18, 2022, Union Mesa filed an answer and counterclaim with the Superior Court, wherein Union Mesa denied WageWorks' claims, and separately seeks recourse against WageWorks for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On May 19, 2022, Union Mesa filed an amended complaint and counterclaim seeking the same recourse. On June 29, 2022, Union Mesa filed a second amended answer and counterclaim, which names the Company as a counter-defendant. On July 21, 2022, WageWorks and the Company filed an answer to the counterclaims. On April 26, 2023, Union Mesa filed a motion for partial summary judgment, and the Company expects to file its response in due course. The parties are currently engaged in discovery. -11- Table of Contents 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. Note 6. Indebtedness Long-term debt consisted of the following: (in thousands) April 30, 2023 January 31, 2023 4.50 % Senior Notes due 2029 $ 600,000 $ 600,000 Term Loan Facility 286,875 341,250 Principal amount 886,875 941,250 Less: unamortized discount and issuance costs (1) 13,973 15,912 Total debt, net 872,902 925,338 Less: current portion of long-term debt — 17,500 Long-term debt, net $ 872,902 $ 907,838 (1) In addition to the $ 14.0 million and $ 15.9 million of unamortized discount and issuance costs related to long-term debt as of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, respectively, $ 3.2 million and $ 3.4 million of unamortized issuance costs related to the Company's Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, respectively. 4.50 % Senior Notes due 2029 On October 8, 2021, the Company completed its offering of $ 600 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 Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing, wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantees its obligations under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) 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 is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, $ 2.3 million and $ 9.0 million, respectively, of accrued interest on the Notes is included within accrued liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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. -12- Table of Contents 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 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: (i) a five-year senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of $ 350 million; 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 as of April 30, 2023 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 in either scenario by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. As of April 30, 2023, the stated interest rate was 6.56 % and the effective interest rate was 7.32 %. On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) which replaced interest rate provisions based on LIBOR with the forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate published by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (“Term SOFR”). As a result, borrowings under the Credit Agreement as so amended by Amendment No. 1 will bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either (i) Term SOFR, plus a 0.10 % credit spread adjustment, 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 in either scenario by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 1). 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. As of April 30, 2023, no amounts have been drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. The loans made under the Term Loan Facility 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.” During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company used $ 50.0 million of cash to prepay, in direct order of maturity, principal due under its Term Loan Facility. 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 -13- Table of Contents 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 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. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of April 30, 2023, 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 domestic subsidiaries and are secured by security interests in substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions. Note 7. Income taxes The Company follows ASC 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 pre-tax income through the end of the latest fiscal quarter to determine the interim income tax provision. For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $ 5.9 million and an income tax benefit of $ 4.4 million, respectively. This resulted in an effective income tax provision rate of 59.1 % and an income tax benefit rate of 24.4 % for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, discrete tax items impacting the effective tax rate were primarily due to differences in tax deductible stock-based compensation expense compared to GAAP stock-based compensation expense. As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefit was $ 8.8 million and $ 8.7 million, respectively. If recognized, $ 5.4 million of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the Company's effective tax rate as of April 30, 2023. As of April 30, 2023, $ 6.9 million of federal income tax payable is included within accrued liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. 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 the Company's 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 2003. Note 8. Stock-based compensation The following table shows a summary of stock-based compensation in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) during the periods presented: Three months ended April 30, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Cost of revenue $ 3,835 $ 3,007 Sales and marketing 2,779 2,014 Technology and development 4,892 3,380 General and administrative 6,698 5,585 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 18,204 $ 13,986 Stock award plans Incentive Plan.

As of April 30, 2023, 11.4 million shares were available for grant under the Incentive Plan. Stock options 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, 2023 1,021 $ 14.00 - 82.39 $ 36.06 3.2 $ 27,293 Exercised ( 20 ) $ 14.00 - 44.53 $ 32.73 Forfeited ( 2 ) $ 44.53 - 44.53 $ 44.53 Outstanding as of April 30, 2023 999 $ 14.00 - 82.39 $ 36.10 2.9 $ 20,970 Vested and expected to vest as of April 30, 2023 999 $ 36.10 2.9 $ 20,970 Exercisable as of April 30, 2023 999 $ 36.10 2.9 $ 20,970 Restricted stock units A summary of RSU activity is as follows: RSUs and PRSUs (in thousands, except weighted-average grant date fair value) Shares Weighted-average grant date fair value Outstanding as of January 31, 2023 3,011 $ 70.40 Granted 1,565 64.73 Vested ( 674 ) 67.44 Forfeited ( 89 ) 70.13 Outstanding as of April 30, 2023 3,813 $ 68.60 Performance restricted stock units. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company awarded 270,966 performance restricted stock units ("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, 2026. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine that the grant date fair value of the awards was $ 23.9 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 of the board of directors. Note 9. 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. -15- Table of Contents 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 April 30, 2023, the fair value of the Notes was $ 536.6 million. The Term Loan Facility is considered a Level 2 instrument and recorded at book value in the Company's condensed 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. Note 10. Subsequent events Except for Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, as described in Note 6—Indebtedness, there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure. -16- Table of Contents
