Market risk
Concentration of market risk. We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from providing services to tax-advantaged healthcare account holders. A significant downturn in this market or changes in state and/or federal laws impacting the preferential tax treatment of healthcare accounts such as HSAs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. During the six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, no single customer accounted for greater than 10% of our total revenue. We monitor market and regulatory changes regularly and make adjustments to our business if necessary.
Inflation. Inflationary factors may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of expenses as a percentage of revenue if our revenue does not correspondingly increase with inflation.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and derivatives. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in bank and other depository accounts, which frequently exceed federally insured limits. Our cash and cash equivalents as of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026 were $256.0 million and $318.9 million, respectively, the vast majority of which was not covered by federal depository insurance. We have not experienced any material losses in such accounts. Our accounts receivable balance as of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026 was $122.2 million and $123.7 million, respectively. We have not experienced any significant write-offs to our accounts receivable and believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk with respect to our accounts receivable. Our derivative contracts are executed with a reputable financial institution, and we do not believe our derivative contracts expose us to significant credit risk. We continue to monitor the credit risk associated with our financial instruments on an ongoing basis.
Interest rate risk
HSA Assets and Client-held funds. HSA Assets consist of custodial HSA funds we hold in custody on behalf of our members. As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, we held in custody HSA Assets of $37.9 billion and $36.5 billion, respectively. As a non-bank custodian, we contract with our insurance company partners and Depository

Partners to hold HSA cash on behalf of our members, and we earn a significant portion of our total revenue from interest paid to us by these partners. HSA cash held by our insurance company partners is held in group annuity contracts or similar arrangements. The lengths of our agreements with Depository Partners typically range from three to five years and have either fixed or variable interest rates.
As HSA Assets increase and existing contracts with Depository Partners continue to expire, we seek to enter into new contracts with insurance company partners and Depository Partners, the terms of which are impacted by the then-prevailing interest rate environment. We believe that increased participation in our Enhanced Rates offering, diversification of insurance company partners and Depository Partners, and varied contract terms, substantially reduces our exposure to short-term fluctuations in prevailing interest rates and mitigates the short-term impact of a sustained increase or decline in prevailing interest rates on our custodial revenue.
A sustained decline in prevailing interest rates may negatively affect our business by reducing the size of the interest rate yield, or yield, available to us and thus the amount of custodial revenue we can realize. Conversely, a sustained increase in prevailing interest rates can increase our yield. An increase in our yield would increase our custodial revenue as a percentage of total revenue. In addition, if our yield increases, we expect the spread to also increase between the interest offered to us by our insurance company partners and Depository Partners and the interest retained by our members, thus increasing our profitability. However, we may be required to increase the interest retained by our members in a rising prevailing interest rate environment. Changes in prevailing interest rates are driven by macroeconomic trends and government policies over which we have no control.
We have entered into derivative contracts to hedge a portion of the benchmark interest rate risk of expected future placements of HSA cash; however, we continue to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged. See Note 10—Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities for further information.
Client-held funds are interest earning deposits from which we generate custodial revenue. As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, we held Client-held funds of $0.9 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. These deposits are amounts remitted by Clients and held by us on their behalf to pre-fund and facilitate administration of our other CDBs. These deposits are held with Depository Partners. We deposit the Client-held funds with our Depository Partners in interest-bearing, demand deposit accounts that have a floating interest rate and no set term or duration. A sustained decline in prevailing interest rates may negatively affect our business by reducing the size of the yield available to us and thus the amount of the custodial revenue we can realize from Client-held funds. Conversely, a sustained increase in prevailing interest rates may increase our yield. Changes in prevailing interest rates are driven by macroeconomic trends and government policies over which we have no control.
Cash and cash equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be unrestricted cash equivalents. Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held in institutions in the U.S. and include deposits in a money market account that is unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $256.0 million and $318.9 million, respectively. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents as a result of changes in interest rates.
Long-term debt. As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, we had $335.0 million and $361.9 million, respectively, outstanding under our revolving credit facility. The stated interest rate on our revolving credit facility is variable and was 5.08% as of July 31, 2026. Our overall interest rate sensitivity under the revolving credit facility is primarily influenced by any amounts borrowed and prevailing interest rates. For example, a one percent increase in the interest rate on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of July 31, 2026 would result in approximately $3.4 million of additional interest expense over the next 12 months. The interest rate on our $600 million of unsecured Senior Notes due 2029 is fixed at 4.50%.
