Rhea-AI Summary
Phreesia, Inc. (PHR) reports strong financial results for Q4 and FY 2024, with revenue up 27% year-over-year. Despite a net loss, the company shows growth in AHSCs and total revenue. The outlook for FY 2025 indicates continued growth and improved Adjusted EBITDA.
Positive
  • Total revenue increased by 27% year-over-year to $356.3 million for fiscal year 2024.
  • AHSCs grew by 26% year-over-year to 3,601 in fiscal year 2024.
  • Net loss decreased to $136.9 million in fiscal year 2024 from $176.1 million in fiscal year 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA improved to negative $35.4 million in fiscal year 2024 from negative $92.5 million in fiscal year 2023.
  • Revenue outlook for fiscal year 2025 is set at $424 million to $434 million, with a growth range of 19% to 22% year-over-year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal year 2025 is revised to $12 million to $20 million, indicating a positive trend compared to the previous year.
  • Cash and cash equivalents stood at $87.5 million as of January 31, 2024, supporting the company's growth plans for fiscal year 2025.
Negative
  • Net loss for the fiscal fourth quarter was $30.6 million, compared to $38.0 million in the same period the previous year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal fourth quarter was negative $3.5 million, an improvement from negative $17.6 million in the same period the prior year.
  • Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $87.5 million as of January 31, 2024, down from $176.7 million as of January 31, 2023.

The reported fiscal year results for Phreesia, Inc. show a significant year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, indicating a robust expansion in their market presence. Despite this growth, there's a noted decrease in healthcare services revenue per AHSC, suggesting that the company's client acquisition rate is not fully translating into proportional revenue gains, potentially due to a saturation in payment processing volume. This decoupling could signal a need for Phreesia to diversify their revenue streams or enhance monetization strategies per client.

Their net loss reduction from $176.1 million in fiscal year 2023 to $136.9 million in fiscal year 2024, along with a significant improvement in adjusted EBITDA, indicates an effective cost management strategy and a path towards profitability. However, investors should be mindful of the decline in cash and cash equivalents by over 50% year-over-year, which could raise concerns about the company's liquidity and financial resilience in the absence of further capital infusion.

Phreesia's performance reflects a broader trend in the healthcare technology sector where companies are aggressively expanding their client base. The increase in AHSCs by 26% is notable and demonstrates Phreesia's ability to penetrate the market. However, the slight decrease in revenue per AHSC suggests competitive pressures or a lower monetization of newer clients, which is common in aggressive expansion phases. The market will be watching closely to see if Phreesia can leverage its increased market share to generate higher revenue per client.

With the company maintaining its revenue outlook for fiscal year 2025, it appears confident in its business model and growth strategies. The updated Adjusted EBITDA outlook also indicates operational optimizations and potential cost efficiencies. However, the lack of reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net income (loss) leaves some uncertainty regarding the impact of non-operational financial elements on the company's profitability.

Phreesia's disclosure regarding the non-reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net income (loss) is a critical piece of information for stakeholders. This indicates that there are unpredictable financial elements such as Other (income) expense, net and (Benefit from) provision for income taxes that could significantly affect the company's financials. Stakeholders should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures, while helpful for operational insight, may not fully represent the company's financial health as per standard accounting practices.

Additionally, Phreesia's use of multiple communication channels for disclosing material non-public information is in line with Regulation FD, ensuring fair and broad access to company information. Investors should monitor these channels to stay informed about the company's performance and strategy updates.

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Phreesia, Inc. (NYSE: PHR) (“Phreesia” or the "Company") announced financial results today for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.

We facilitated more than 150 million patient visits in fiscal 2024, or more than one in ten patient visits across the U.S. We are confident that our solutions and our team position us for continued growth and a return to profitability1," said CEO and Co-Founder Chaim Indig.

Fiscal Fourth Quarter Ended January 31, 2024 Highlights

  • Total revenue was $95.0 million in the quarter, up 24% year-over-year.
  • Average number of healthcare services clients ("AHSCs") was 3,962 in the quarter, up 26% year-over-year.
  • Healthcare services revenue per AHSC was $17,456 in the quarter, down 1% year-over-year. The decline was primarily driven by healthcare services client growth outpacing growth in payment processing volume and payment processing revenue. See "Key Metrics" below for additional information.
  • Total revenue per AHSC was $23,979 in the quarter, down 2% year-over-year. The decline was primarily driven by adding AHSCs from the acquisition of ConnectOnCall that have an immaterial amount of revenue associated with them. See "Key Metrics" below for additional information.
  • Net loss was $30.6 million in the quarter compared to $38.0 million in the same period in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was negative $3.5 million in the quarter compared to negative $17.6 million in the same period in the prior year.
  • Cash and cash equivalents as of January 31, 2024 was $87.5 million, down $15.8 million from October 31, 2023.

  • Healthcare services revenue per AHSC was $72,215 in fiscal year 2024, down 1% year-over-year. The decline was primarily driven by AHSC growth outpacing growth in payment processing volume and payment processing revenue. See "Key Metrics" below for additional information.
  • Total revenue per AHSC was $98,944 in fiscal year 2024, up 1% year-over-year. The increase was primarily driven by Network solutions revenue growth outpacing healthcare services client growth. See "Key Metrics" below for additional information.

Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook2

We are maintaining our revenue outlook for fiscal year 2025 at a range of $424 million to $434 million, implying year-over-year growth of 19% to 22%. The revenue range provided for fiscal 2025 assumes no additional revenue from potential future acquisitions completed between now and January 31, 2025.

We are updating our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal year 2025 to a range of $12 million to $20 million from a previous range of $10 million to $20 million.

We believe our $87.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of January 31, 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.

1 We define "profitability", discussed within, in terms of Adjusted EBITDA.
2 We continue to believe we will achieve our Fiscal 2026 Annualized Revenue Target of $500 million achieved by annualizing the highest revenue quarter in Fiscal 2026 by four. However, we believe our Revenue Outlook provides more meaningful guidance. As a result, we will no longer present our Fiscal 2026 Annualized Revenue Target.

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 (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before stock-based compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and other (income) 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 Provision for (benefit from) 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) expense, 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:

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.

  • Patient payment volume. We believe that patient payment volume is an indicator of both the underlying health of our healthcare services clients’ businesses and the continuing shift of healthcare 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.
