Fiscal First Quarter Ended April 30, 2024 Highlights
- Total revenue was $101.2 million in the quarter, up 21%
year-over-year.
- Average number of healthcare services clients ("AHSCs") was
4,065 in the quarter, up 23% year-over-year.
- Healthcare services revenue per AHSC was $18,243 in the
quarter, down 3% year-over-year. See "Key Metrics" below for
additional information.
- Total revenue per AHSC was $24,900 in the quarter, down 2%
year-over-year. See "Key Metrics" below for additional
information.
- Net loss was $19.7 million in the quarter compared to net loss
of $37.5 million in the same period in the prior year.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $4.1 million in the quarter compared to
negative $13.8 million in the same period in the prior year.
- Cash and cash equivalents as of April 30, 2024 was $79.5
million, down $8.0 million from January 31, 2024.
Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook
We are updating our revenue outlook for fiscal year 2025 to a
range of $416 million to $426 million from a previous range of $424
million to $434 million. The updated revenue range incorporates the
accelerated wind-down of a clearinghouse client relationship. For
additional information regarding this client relationship refer to
the Stakeholder Letter filed together with this earnings release.
The revenue range provided for fiscal 2025 assumes no additional
revenue from potential future acquisitions completed between now
and January 31, 2025.
We are also updating our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal year
2025 to a range of $21 million to $26 million from a previous range
of $12 million to $20 million. Our outlook reflects the slight
impact of the accelerated wind-down of the clearinghouse client
relationship and our greater focus on growing profitably1 through a
combination of growth and continued margin improvement.
We believe our $79.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of
April 30, 2024, along with cash generated in our normal operations
gives us sufficient flexibility to reach our fiscal 2025 revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA outlook. Additionally, our available borrowing
capacity under our credit facility with Capital One provides us
with an additional source of capital to pursue future growth
opportunities not incorporated into our fiscal 2025 revenue and
Adjusted EBITDA outlook.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP Net
income (loss) because we do not provide an outlook for GAAP Net
income (loss) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of
Other (income) expense, net and (Benefit from) provision for income
taxes, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP
Net income (loss). Because we cannot reasonably predict such items,
a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlook to the
corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable
effort. We caution, however, that such items could have a
significant impact on the calculation of GAAP Net income (loss).
For further information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures
included in this press release, including a reconciliation of GAAP
to non-GAAP financial measures and an explanation of these
measures, please see “Non-GAAP financial measures” below.

Relations website) as well as our Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and

financial information or state other forward-looking information.
These statements include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding: our future financial and operating performance,
including our revenue, margins and Adjusted EBITDA; our ability to

that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements
are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our
future operational or financial performance and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our
actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those
described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by
a variety of risks and factors that are beyond our control,
including, without limitation, risks associated with: our ability
to effectively manage our growth and meet our growth objectives;
our focus on the long-term and our investments in growth; the
competitive environment in which we operate; our ability to comply
with the covenants in our credit agreement with Capital One;
changes in market conditions and receptivity to our products and
services; our ability to develop and release new products and
services and successful enhancements, features and modifications to
our existing products and services; our ability to maintain the
security and availability of our platform; the impact of
cyberattacks, security incidents or breaches impacting our
business, such as the cyberattack affecting ConnectOnCall, or the
recent cyberattacks announced by Change Healthcare and Ascension
Health; changes in laws and regulations applicable to our business
model; our ability to make accurate predictions about our industry
and addressable market; our ability to attract, retain and
cross-sell to healthcare services clients; our ability to continue
to operate effectively with a primarily remote workforce and
attract and retain key talent; our ability to realize the intended
benefits of our acquisitions and partnerships; and difficulties in
integrating our acquisitions and investments; and the recent high
inflationary environment and other general, market, political,
economic and business conditions (including as a result of the
warfare and/or political and economic instability in Ukraine, the
Middle East or elsewhere). The forward-looking statements contained
in this press release are also subject to other risks and
uncertainties, including those listed or described in our filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2024 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
quarter ended April 30, 2024 that will be filed with the SEC
following this press release. The forward-looking statements in
this press release speak only as of the date on which the
statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update, and
expressly disclaim the obligation to update, any forward-looking
statements made in this press release to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect
new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except
as required by law.
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures
as defined by SEC rules. We have provided a reconciliation of those
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, with the
exception of our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for the reasons described
above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and statements made during the
above-referenced webcast may include certain non-GAAP financial
measures as defined by SEC rules.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance
that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance
under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income or loss or any other performance measure derived in
accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from
operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We define
Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest income, net,
provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and
before stock-based compensation expense and other expense, net.
We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to
net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We
have presented Adjusted EBITDA in this press release and our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed after this press release
because it is a key measure used by our management and board of
directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance
and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to
develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, we
believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating
Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period
comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that
Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others
in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same
manner as our management and board of directors. We have not
reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP Net income (loss)
because we do not provide an outlook for GAAP Net income (loss) due
to the uncertainty and potential variability of Other (income)
expense, net and (Benefit from) provision for income taxes, which
are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP Net income
(loss). Because we cannot reasonably predict such items, a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlook to the
corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable
effort. We caution, however, that such items could have a
significant impact on the calculation of GAAP Net income
(loss).
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical
tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under
GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
- Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash
charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be
replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash
capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new
capital expenditure requirements;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash
requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) the potentially
dilutive impact of non-cash stock-based compensation; (3) tax
payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; or
(4) interest income, net; and
- Other companies, including companies in our industry, may
calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently,
which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these and other limitations, you should consider
Adjusted EBITDA along with other GAAP-based financial performance
measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and our
GAAP financial results. The following table presents a
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for each of the
periods indicated:

Healthcare services revenue per AHSC
$

$

Total revenue per AHSC
$

$

We remain focused on building secure and reliable products that
derive a strong return on investment for our clients and
implementing them with speed and ease. This strategy continues to
enable us to grow our network of healthcare services clients. The
investments we make to grow, strengthen and sustain our network of
healthcare services clients lead to growth in all of our revenue
categories.
The definitions of our key metrics are presented below.
- AHSCs. We define AHSCs as the average number of clients that
generate subscription and related services or payment processing
revenue each month during the applicable period. In cases where we
act as a subcontractor providing white-label services to our
partner's clients, we treat the contractual relationship as a
single healthcare services client. We believe growth in AHSCs is a
key indicator of the performance of our business and depends, in
part, on our ability to successfully develop and market our
solutions to healthcare services organizations that are not yet
clients. While growth in AHSCs is an important indicator of
expected revenue growth, it also informs our management of the
areas of our business that will require further investment to
support expected future AHSC growth. For example, as AHSCs
increase, we may need to add to our customer support team and
invest to maintain effectiveness and performance of our solutions
for our healthcare services clients and their patients.
- Healthcare services revenue per AHSC. We define Healthcare
services revenue as the sum of subscription and related services
revenue and payment processing revenue. We define Healthcare
services revenue per AHSC as Healthcare services revenue in a given
period divided by AHSCs during that same period. We are focused on
continually delivering value to our healthcare services clients and
believe that our ability to increase Healthcare services revenue
per AHSC is an indicator of the long-term value of our
solutions.
- Total revenue per AHSC. We define Total revenue per AHSC as
Total revenue in a given period divided by AHSCs during that same
period. Our healthcare services clients directly generate
subscription and related services and payment processing revenue.
Additionally, our relationships with healthcare services clients
who subscribe to our solutions give us the opportunity to engage
with life sciences companies, health plans and other payer
organizations, patient advocacy, public interest and other
not-for-profit organizations who deliver direct communication to
patients through our solutions. As a result, we believe that our
ability to increase Total revenue per AHSC is an indicator of the
long-term value of our solutions.

costs to patients. We measure patient payment volume as the total
dollar volume of transactions between our healthcare services
clients and their patients utilizing our payment platform,
including via credit and debit cards that we process as a payment
facilitator as well as cash and check payments and credit and debit
transactions for which we act as a gateway to other payment
processors.
- Payment facilitator volume percentage. We define payment
facilitator volume percentage as the volume of credit and debit
card patient payment volume that we process as a payment
facilitator as a percentage of total patient payment volume.
Payment facilitator volume is a major driver of our payment
processing revenue. Our payment facilitator volume percentage could
decline slightly over time should we increase our penetration of
enterprise customers that are less likely to use Phreesia as a
payment facilitator.
