Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
The filing reports a specific asset sale transaction rather than periodic financial results. Key metrics associated with the transaction include:
- Assets Sold: Approximately 170,000 health savings accounts (HSAs) totaling more than $400 million in deposits, along with related contracts.
- Purchase Price: $34,425,000 paid by HealthEquity, Inc.

The filing text does not provide clear values for the company's overall revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, total debt, or liquidity positions for the reporting period.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the divestiture of the HSA portfolio described above. This represents a significant reduction in the specific deposit base related to health savings accounts held by the subsidiary, offset by the immediate receipt of the purchase price and the assumption of related liabilities by the buyer.
