Reports Record Full Year Revenue of $1,088.6 Million, Reflecting 38% Growth NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2024 (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, 2023 (“the fourth quarter of 2023” and "the full year", respectively) as compared to the three- and twelve-month periods December 31, 2022 (“the fourth quarter of 2022” and “the prior year period”, respectively). “2023 was another exceptional year for Progyny. We achieved record levels of revenue, profitability and operating cash flow, driven by the volume of new clients and covered lives, as well as the continued growth in the demand for fertility services, and our selling season yielded the largest number of new lives in our history, along with the formation of key channel partnerships that are expected to provide further energy and momentum with our go-to-market activities,” said Pete Anevski, Chief Executive Officer of Progyny. “As the leader in women's health solutions, Progyny continues to raise the bar for what employers should expect from their benefits providers,” continued Anevski. “By leveraging our strengths in family building with patient education and support, evidence-based outcomes, and network management, we're exceptionally well-positioned to expand our solution into areas that further support life's most important milestones. Accordingly, we're pleased to enter 2024 with a more comprehensive suite of services, including preconception, pregnancy and postpartum, and menopause, that will be available to both new and existing clients as part of the upcoming sales season. Our active pipeline, consisting principally of the opportunities carried over from last year's selling season, is the highest it has ever been at this time of year, and we're very well-positioned to continue our success.” “In the fourth quarter, revenue grew 26% over the prior year period, gross margin expanded by 30 basis points, and net income nearly quadrupled. For 2023, we exceeded $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time, and cash flow from operations more than doubled to a record $188.8 million,” said Mark Livingston, Progyny’s Chief Financial Officer. “Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue continued to exceed 20% in 2023, highlighting the high rate of margin capture that we continue to realize on new revenue, even as we continue to invest to expand both our solution and our go-to-market resources.” Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Highlights:
Financial Highlights 4th Quarter
Gross profit was $56.9 million, an increase of 28% from the $44.5 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to the higher revenue. Gross margin was 21.1%, an increase of 30 basis points from the prior year period. Net income was $13.5 million, or $0.13 income per diluted share, as compared to $3.4 million, or $0.03 income per diluted share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2022. The higher net income was due primarily to the higher gross profit, operating efficiencies realized on our higher revenues and higher investment income, which more than offset a higher provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA was $43.2 million, an increase of 31%, from the $33.0 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting the higher gross profit and operating efficiencies realized on our higher revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.0%, an increase of 60 basis points from the 15.4% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of 2022. Full Year
Gross profit was $238.8 million, an increase of 43% from the $167.3 million reported in the prior year period, primarily due to the higher revenue. Gross margin was 21.9%, an increase of 60 basis points from the prior year period, primarily due to ongoing efficiencies realized in the delivery of our care management services, partially offset by the impact of planned cost containment efforts that were shared with our clients. Net income was $62.0 million, or $0.62 income per diluted share, an increase of $31.7 million as compared to the net income of $30.4 million, or $0.30 income per diluted share, reported in the prior year period. The higher net income was due primarily to the higher gross profit, operating efficiencies realized on our higher revenues and higher investment income, which more than offset higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense and a higher provision for taxes. Adjusted EBITDA was $187.1 million, an increase of 49% from the $125.7 million reported in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.2%, an increase of 120 basis points from the 16.0% margin in the prior year period. The increases in both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin reflect the operating efficiencies realized on our higher revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue in 2023 was 20.3%. 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 2023. Cash Flow Balance Sheet and Financial Position Key Metrics The Company had 392 clients as of December 31, 2023, as compared to 288 clients as of December 31, 2022.

Financial Outlook “We believe the macro trends that have been fueling our growth remain intact, as reflected in our strong performance in 2023. Accordingly, we're pleased to announce our guidance for the first quarter and full year 2024, which reflects both significant ongoing topline growth, as well as the continued expansion of our margins,” continued Anevski. “The first quarter range reflects a short-term shift in treatment mix as compared to customary levels, resulting in an approximately $15 million headwind to revenue. We've seen treatment mix return to more customary levels at this time, which is reflected in the full year guidance ranges.” The Company is providing the following financial guidance for the full year period ending December 31, 2024 and the three-month period ending March 31, 2024:

Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. Our actual future results could differ materially from what we expect. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue and Adjusted earnings per 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 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 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 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 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue and Adjusted earnings per 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; other (income) expense, net; interest income, net; and (benefit) 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 2023 divided by incremental revenue in 2023. 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.
