DRAPER, Utah, Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ: HQY) (“HealthEquity” or the “Company”), the nation’s largest health savings account (“HSA") custodian by number of accounts and leading provider of complimentary consumer-directed benefits (“CDBs”), today announced its initial outlook for its fiscal year ending January 31, 2027 and reaffirmed previously provided guidance for its fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.

For the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027, management expects revenues in the range of $1.38 billion to $1.41 billion with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 43.8% to 44.3% and a yield on HSA Cash of approximately 3.75%.

“Today, we issued our initial fiscal 2027 outlook, reflecting the progress we’ve made strengthening HealthEquity’s foundation and building momentum as a scaled platform," said Scott Cutler, President and CEO of HealthEquity. "Over the past year, we’ve modernized the business, raising the bar on security and trust, accelerating the digital experience, and driving engagement, so the model compounds over time. Healthcare affordability is a structural challenge, making HSAs increasingly central to how Americans finance care. With our scale and an ecosystem of 200+ integrated Network Partners, including health and retirement plan partners, brokers and benefit advisors, we believe HealthEquity is positioned to drive durable growth and create long-term value for shareholders."

HealthEquity will discuss these estimates and expectations for its fiscal 2027 during a presentation by Scott Cutler, President and CEO, Steve Neeleman, Vice Chair and Founder and James Lucania, EVP and CFO, at the 44 th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 3:00 pm Pacific Time in the Union Square Room of the St. Francis Hotel.

Non-GAAP financial information

A reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027 to net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, is not included, because our net income outlook for this future period is not available without unreasonable efforts as we are unable to predict certain significant items excluded from this non-GAAP measure, such as stock-based compensation expense and income tax provision.
