Discontinued Operations

(2) Discontinued Operations

The Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if (i) the business has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale; (ii) the disposal of the business represents a strategic shift that will have a major impact on the Company’s operations and financial results; (iii) the operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal; and (iv) the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the business after the disposal. The results of discontinued operations are reported in net income from discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for all periods presented, commencing in the period in which the business is either disposed of or is classified as held for sale, including any gain or loss recognized on closing or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less costs to sell, as applicable. Assets and liabilities related to a business which meets the criteria for discontinued operations are segregated in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for the current and prior periods.

On September 30, 2024, the Company abandoned its ownership in e-TeleQuote Insurance, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “e-TeleQuote”), a marketer of Medicare-related insurance products underwritten by third-party health insurance carriers to eligible Medicare beneficiaries (the “Senior Health business”), by irrevocably and permanently surrendering and relinquishing all rights in e-TeleQuote to an independent third party without receipt of consideration and with no continuing involvement in its management or operations.

The Company determined that the disposal represented a strategic shift that would have a major impact on the Company’s operations and financial results. The disposal represented a strategic shift as the Senior Health business had been designated as a separate operating segment, and the Board of Directors (“Board”) and management recognized that its previously expected impact on the Company’s operations and financial results would not be realized. Accordingly, the results of operations for the Senior Health business have been reported in discontinued operations for all periods presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. We had no assets or liabilities remaining from the Senior Health business on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Prior year Senior Health-related balances in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to remove balances and activities related to the discontinued operations except as otherwise noted.

We recognized an after-tax net gain on disposal of $2.0 million in the second half of 2024, which was comprised of the $95.8 million write-off of e-TeleQuote’s assets and liabilities as of the abandonment date and the recognition of a $97.8 million income tax benefit. The federal income tax benefit remaining to be utilized was $15.9 million and $31.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
