Reports Quarterly Revenue of $298.4 Million, Reflecting 10.6% Growth
Generated $52.2 Million of Quarterly Operating Cash Flow
Issues Financial Guidance for 2025, Reflecting Tenth Consecutive Year of Revenue Growth

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progyny, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNY) (“Progyny” or the “Company”), a transformative fertility, family building and women's health benefits solution, today announced its financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2024 (“the fourth quarter of 2024” and "the full year", respectively) as compared to the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2023 (“the fourth quarter of 2023” and “the prior year period”, respectively).

“We're pleased to report that 2024 ended on a strong note, with continued improvement in the pacing of member engagement as compared to what we saw earlier in the year,” said Pete Anevski, Chief Executive Officer of Progyny. “As 2025 begins, we're continuing to see member engagement trending towards historical levels.

“As we enter our tenth year in market, we're continuing to deliver on the promise of value-based care through our unique approach to plan design and benefit management. The cornerstone of our care delivery model is to ensure that we're providing the right solution to members when it's the right time for them to pursue care, because we recognize that every person's journey is unique,” continued Anevski. “Our solutions meet deeply personal needs, and while the right time to pursue care will vary for a relatively small number of members from time to time, our results this quarter affirm that we're addressing highly prevalent conditions fundamentally relevant to women's health and well-being.”

“2024 was a strong year for Progyny, as we achieved record levels of both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, generating $179 million in cash flow from operations and returning $300 million in capital back to our shareholders through multiple repurchase programs,” said Mark Livingston, Progyny’s Chief Financial Officer.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 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 earnings per diluted share, 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 earnings per diluted share to earnings per share, and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented. We calculate Adjusted earnings per diluted share as net income per diluted share excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, adjusted for the impact of taxes. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Financial Highlights

4th Quarter
Revenue was $298.4 million, a 10.6% increase as compared to the $269.9 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of the increase in the number of clients and covered lives. As previously disclosed, a large client did not renew its services agreement for 2025; excluding the contribution of that one client in both periods, fourth quarter revenue increased 11%.

• Fertility benefit services revenue was $187.5 million, a 9% increase from the $171.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023.
• Pharmacy benefit services revenue was $111.0 million, a 13% increase as compared to the $98.6 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Gross profit was $63.4 million, an 11% increase from the $56.9 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to the higher revenue. Gross margin was 21.3%, a slight increase from the prior year period.

Net income was $10.5 million, or $0.12 income per diluted share, as compared to the $13.5 million, or $0.13 income per diluted share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2023. The lower net income was due primarily to a higher provision for income taxes driven by the discrete tax impacts of equity compensation, which more than offsets the higher operating profit.

Adjusted EBITDA was $47.5 million, an increase of 10%, from the $43.2 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting the higher gross profit and operating efficiencies realized on our higher revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.9%, comparable to the Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Full Year
Revenue was $1,167.2 million, a 7.2% increase as compared to the $1,088.6 million reported in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the increase in our number of clients and covered lives, which was partially offset by the previously-reported variation in usage patterns earlier in the year. Excluding the contribution of the large client who did not renew its services agreement for 2025 in both periods, revenue in 2024 increased 8.5%.

• Fertility benefit services revenue was $729.6 million, a 7.9% increase from the $676.3 million reported in the prior year period.
• Pharmacy benefit services revenue was $437.7 million, a 6.2% increase as compared to the $412.3 million reported in the prior year period.

Gross profit was $253.4 million, an increase of 6.1% from the $238.8 million reported in the prior year period, primarily due to the higher revenue. Gross margin was 21.7%, a slight decrease from the prior year period.

Net income was $54.3 million, or $0.57 income per diluted share, a decrease of $7.7 million as compared to the net income of $62.0 million, or $0.62 income per diluted share, reported in the prior year period. The lower net income was primarily due to a higher provision for income taxes driven by the discrete tax impacts of equity compensation, which more than offsets the higher operating profit and higher interest and other income, net.

Adjusted EBITDA was $198.8 million, an increase of 6.2% from the $187.1 million reported in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.0%, as compared to the 17.2% margin in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue in 2024 was 14.9% and reflects the impact of declines in cycles per unique female utilizer during certain periods in 2024.

Refer to Annex A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, as well as the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue in 2024.

Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2024 was $179.1 million, as compared to $188.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to the benefit in the prior year period from the previously disclosed amended agreements with our pharmacy program partners, as well as the impact of timing of certain working capital items in both periods. Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $52.2 million, compared to $37.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to the impact of timing of certain working capital items in both periods.

Balance Sheet and Financial Position
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had total working capital of approximately $304.1 million and no debt. This included cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $228.0 million, a decrease of $7.8 million from the balances as of September 30, 2024, reflecting the stock repurchase activity conducted during the quarter, which was partially offset by cash flow from operations.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company purchased 3,248,298 shares for $52.5 million through its share repurchase programs. In total, the Company has purchased 12,382,193 shares collectively during its programs in 2024, and has used all of its existing authorizations.

Key Metrics
The Company had 473 clients as of December 31, 2024, as compared to 392 clients as of December 31, 2023.

Financial Outlook
Substantially all of the clients added in the most recent selling season have already launched their benefit, with a handful expected to do so over the coming months. Once all new clients are live in 2025, the Company anticipates having more than 530 clients, representing an estimated 6.7 million covered lives.

“We have continued to see improvement with first quarter member engagement on a seasonally adjusted basis as compared to historical patterns. However, due to the unexpected variability we experienced in 2024, the guidance ranges we're issuing today reflect the possibility that we'll see further variability in engagement in 2025,” said Mr. Anevski.

The Company is providing the following financial guidance for the full year period ending December 31, 2025 and the three-month period ending March 31, 2025:

• Full Year 2025 Outlook:
  
  • Revenue is projected to be $1.175 billion to $1.225 billion, reflecting growth of 1% to 5%

  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share¹ is projected to be $1.52 to $1.62

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, Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue and Adjusted earnings per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue and Adjusted earnings per dilutive share 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue and Adjusted earnings per diluted share 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue and Adjusted earnings per diluted share 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue and Adjusted earnings per diluted share 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 interest and other income, net; and (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, Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue and Adjusted earnings per diluted share 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; interest and other income, net; and provision 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 2024 divided by incremental revenue in 2024. We calculate Adjusted earnings per diluted share as net income per diluted share excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, adjusted for the associated impact of taxes. Please see Annex A: “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” elsewhere in this press release.
