Progyny, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2023 Results

Reports Record Quarterly Revenue of $258.4 Million, Reflecting 50% Growth Over the Prior Year Period
Raises Full Year Revenue and Earnings Guidance
Strong Demand Continues for Family Building Solutions as Affirmed by Healthy Utilization, Early Sales Activity and New Partnerships

NEW YORK, May 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progyny, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNY) (“Progyny” or the “Company”), a leading benefits management company specializing in fertility and family building benefits solutions, today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 (“the first quarter of 2023”) as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 (“the first quarter of 2022” or “the prior year period”).

“We're pleased with our strong start to 2023, as the ongoing healthy demand for fertility and family building care helped us achieve our highest-ever quarterly revenue, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA, while our continued focus on cash flow from operations has allowed us to generate our highest-ever first quarter cash flow for that metric,” said Pete Anevski, Chief Executive Officer of Progyny.  “A recent report from the World Health Organization has revealed that the prevalence of infertility - which has long been recognized as a disease - continues to increase.  Access to effective treatment for any disease is essential, and we believe fertility care should likewise be an essential benefit that's available to everyone, given the profound impact it has on both employers and their employees.

“With that critical dynamic as a backdrop, we believe that the 5.4 million covered lives we manage today represent just a fraction of our market opportunity.  Although our selling season for 2024 launches is at its earliest stages, we are pleased that our sales and pipeline activity is favorable when compared to the record level of activity that we had a year ago.  In addition, we've already had a healthy number of early commitments as well.  We believe this positive activity, as well as our recently announced strategic relationships with Evernorth and Children's Hospital Association, further validates both the strong demand in the market, as well as our leading position as the provider of choice for fertility and family building solutions.”

“Our first quarter gross profit increased 78% and Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled when compared to the prior year period, reflecting the impact of our strong revenue growth, as well as the efficiencies that we continue to realize throughout our cost structure, even as we rapidly scale the business,” said Mark Livingston, Progyny’s Chief Financial Officer.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights:

1 Net income per diluted share reflects weighted-average shares outstanding as adjusted for potential dilutive securities, including options, restricted stock units, warrants to purchase common stock, and shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan.
2 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Please see Annex A of this press release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Financial Highlights

Revenue was $258.4 million, a 50% increase as compared to the $172.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of the increase in our number of clients and covered lives.

  • Fertility benefit services revenue was $157.1 million, a 42% increase from the $110.9 million reported in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Pharmacy benefit services revenue was $101.2 million, a 65% increase as compared to the $61.3 million reported in the first quarter of 2022.

Gross profit was $58.6 million, an increase of 78% from the $32.9 million reported in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to the higher revenue. Gross margin was 22.7%, an increase of 360 basis points from the 19.1% reported in the prior year period, primarily due to ongoing efficiencies realized in the delivery of our care management services.

Net income was $17.7 million, or $0.18 income per diluted share, an increase of 256% as compared to the $5.0 million, or $0.05 income per diluted share, reported in the first quarter of 2022. The higher net income was due primarily to the higher gross profit and operating efficiencies realized on our higher revenues, which was partially offset by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA was $46.4 million, an increase of 87% as compared to the $24.8 million reported in the first quarter of 2022, reflecting the higher gross profit and operating efficiencies realized on our higher revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.9%, an increase of 350 basis points from the 14.4% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the first quarter of 2022. Please refer to Annex A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Cash Flow
Net cash generated by operating activities in the first quarter of 2023 was $21.0 million, compared to a cash use of $11.3 million in the prior year period. The higher cash flow as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to higher profitability as well as timing items.

Balance Sheet and Financial Position
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had total working capital of approximately $320.2 million and no debt. This included cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $207.9 million, an increase of $18.6 million from the balances as of December 31, 2022.

Key Metrics

The Company had 379 clients as of March 31, 2023, as compared to 264 clients as of March 31, 2022.

** Represents the member utilization rate for all services, including, but not limited to, ART cycles, initial consultations, IUIs, and genetic testing. The utilization rate for all members includes all unique members (female and male) who utilize the benefit during that period, while the utilization rate for female only includes only unique females who utilize the benefit during that period. For purposes of calculating utilization rates in any given period, the results reflect the number of unique members utilizing the benefit for that period. Individual periods cannot be combined as member treatments may span multiple periods.

Financial Outlook
“In light of our strong results in the first quarter, as well as our current expectations for member utilization, we are raising our guidance for the year,” said Mr. Anevski.

The Company is providing the following financial guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2023 and the three-month period ending June 30, 2023:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release and the accompanying tables include the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue are supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when taken together with our GAAP financial results, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation, evaluating our operating performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue include: (1) it does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future; (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures; (3) it does not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense; (4) it does not reflect other non-operating income and expenses, including other (income) expense, net and interest (income) expense, net; (5) it does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. In addition, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we calculate these measures, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income, gross margin, and our other GAAP results.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; other (income) expense, net; interest income, net; and benefit for income taxes. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue as incremental Adjusted EBITDA in 2023 divided by incremental revenue in 2023. Please see Annex A: “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” elsewhere in this press release.
