Benefitfocus Investor Presentation Third Quarter 2020 Exhibit 99.1

Slide 2

Safe Harbor Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations, and assumptions contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Actual results might differ materially from those explicit or implicit in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: volatility and uncertainty in the global economy and financial markets in light of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainties arising from the recent U.S. elections; our continuing losses and need to achieve GAAP profitability; fluctuations in our financial results; our ability to maintain our culture, retain and motivate qualified personnel; the immature and volatile market for our products and services; risks related to changing healthcare and other applicable regulations; risks associated with acquisitions; cyber-security risks; the need to innovate and provide useful products and services; our ability to compete effectively; privacy, security and other risks associated with our business; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our SEC filings, copies of which are available free of charge within the Investor Relations section of the Benefitfocus website at http://investor.benefitfocus.com/sec-filings or upon request from our Investor Relations Department. Benefitfocus assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including non-GAAP gross profit, operating income/loss, net loss/income, net loss/income per common share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance or financial position that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  Non-GAAP gross profit, operating income/loss, net loss/income and net loss/income per common share exclude stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction and acquisition-related costs expensed, if any, restructuring charges, if any, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, if any, and costs not core to our business, if any. We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss before net interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense, expense related to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, transaction and acquisition-related costs expensed, restructuring charges, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, and costs not core to our business. We define free cash flow as cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted to eliminate restructuring charges. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, we revised our definitions of non-GAAP net loss/income and net loss/income per common share and adjusted EBITDA to also exclude gain or loss of extinguishment of debt. The revisions to these definitions had no impact on our reported non-GAAP net loss/income and net loss/income per common share and adjusted EBITDA for periods prior to the three months ended September 30, 2020. Please note that other companies might define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do. Management presents these non-GAAP financial measures in this release because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company's financial and operational performance. Management also intends to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of the company’s future earnings discussions and, therefore, their inclusion should provide consistency in the company’s financial reporting. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in this release, including in the accompanying tables.

GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation

Slide 27

Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP ($ in thousands) Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Reconciliation from Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA: Net loss $ (45,515) $ (52,627) $ (50,294) Depreciation 15,288 11,721 12,391 Amortization of software development costs 5,130 3,944 3,257 Amortization of acquired intangible assets 1,933 150 258 Interest income (2,613) (250) (182) Interest expense 23,524 5,685 4,931 Income tax expense 27 28 15 Interest expense on building lease financing obligations (prior to adoption of ASC 842) — 7,471 7,450 Stock-based compensation expense 19,572 28,868 16,137 Transaction and acquisition-related costs expensed 1,035 507 — Restructuring costs — — — Costs not core to our business 649 4,843 1,058 Total net adjustments 64,545 62,967 45,315 Adjusted EBITDA $ 19,030 $ 10,340 $ (4,979) Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow: Net Cash (used in) provided by operating activities $ (18,375) $ 8,981 $ (5,937) Less: Purchase of property and equipment (13,248) (8,290) (8,279) Add back: Restructuring Costs — — — Free Cash Flow $ (31,623) $ 691 $ (14,216) Note: Management has not reconciled forward-looking non-GAAP gross profit, adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow to their most directly comparable GAAP measure of GAAP gross profit, GAAP net loss or GAAP operating cash flows. This is because management cannot predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of the various necessary GAAP components of such reconciliations, including, for example, those related to compensation, acquisition transactions and integration, or others that may arise during the year, without unreasonable effort. These components and other factors could materially impact the amount of the future directly comparable GAAP measures, which may differ significantly from their non-GAAP counterparts.
