Progyny, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Results

Reports Record Fourth Quarter Revenue of $100.3 Million

Issues Revenue Guidance of $520.0 to $540.0 Million for 2021, Reflecting Growth of 51% to 57%

​

NEW YORK, February 24, 2021 /GlobeNewswire/ - Progyny, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNY), a leading benefits management company specializing in fertility and family building benefits solutions in the United States, today announced its financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020 (“the fourth quarter of 2020” and “the full year”, respectively) as compared to the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 (“the fourth quarter of 2019” and “the prior year period”, respectively).

“Progyny had a strong fourth quarter, exceeding $100 million in quarterly revenue for the first time in our history and concluding a year in which we successfully managed the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business while achieving record levels of revenue, profitability and operating cash flow,” said David Schlanger, Chief Executive Officer of Progyny. “Our clients under contract represent more than 2.7 million covered lives, reflecting a substantial increase of 600,000 covered lives since the beginning of 2020. Even with this significant growth, our clients and covered lives today continue to represent a low single digit percent of our target market, and we believe that we remain in the very earliest stages of addressing our overall market opportunities.”

“In the fourth quarter, revenue grew 54%, gross margins expanded meaningfully and Adjusted EBITDA more than tripled,” said Mark Livingston, Progyny’s Chief Financial Officer. “These strong results were driven by multiple factors: the essential nature of fertility treatments and their time sensitivity for many patients; our members’ desire to pursue care, even against the backdrop of the pandemic; and the quality and breadth of our client base, many of whom are in industries that were spared from the worst effects of the pandemic.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Highlights:

1

Financial Highlights

4^th Quarter

Revenue was $100.3 million, a 54% increase as compared to the $65.1 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Gross profit was $20.7 million, an increase of 76% from the $11.8 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to higher revenue during the period. Gross margin was 20.6%, an increase of 250 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net income was $39.1 million, or $0.39 income per diluted share, reflecting an improvement of $43.5 million from the $4.4 million net loss, or $0.07 loss per diluted share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2019. The higher net income was due primarily to a tax benefit recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020 in connection with the release of our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the absence in the current period of a convertible preferred stock warrant valuation adjustment expense, the higher gross profit and operating efficiencies realized throughout the business. Effective as of the company’s initial public offering in October 2019, all outstanding convertible preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock, and therefore, the warrant valuation adjustment is no longer necessary.

Net income, as adjusted, was $7.2 million, or $0.07 income per diluted share, excluding the impact of $38.0 million in a tax benefit related to the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as well as $6.1 million in settlement cost and legal fees associated with a vendor arbitration. That compares to net income, as adjusted, of $1.7 million, or $0.02 income per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2019, excluding the impact of the preferred stock warrant valuation adjustment and the legal fees associated with a vendor arbitration.

Adjusted EBITDA was $11.9 million, an increase of $8.0 million from the $3.9 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.8%, an increase of 580 basis points from the 6.0% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin reflect the higher revenue during the period as well as improved operating leverage across the business.

Readers are encouraged to review Annex A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) and the calculation of net income, as adjusted, and net income per diluted share, as adjusted.

Full Year

Revenue was $344.9 million, a 50% increase as compared to the $229.7 million reported in the prior year period.

Gross profit was $70.1 million, an increase of 54% from the $45.5 million reported in the prior year period, primarily due to the higher revenue. Gross margin was 20.3%, an increase of 50 basis points from the prior year period, as higher revenues triggered favorable contractual terms with our pharmacy dispensing and manufacturing partners, and the impact

of regular contract renewals with our providers along with continued efficiencies gained across our care management services.

Net income was $46.5 million, or $0.47 income per diluted share, reflecting an improvement of $55.0 million from the $8.6 million net loss, or $0.41 loss per diluted share, reported in the prior year period. The higher net income was due primarily to the same factors that affected the fourth quarter results.

Net income, as adjusted, was $17.8 million, or $0.18 income per diluted share, excluding the impact of $38.0 million in a tax benefit related to the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, as well as $9.3 million in settlement cost and legal fees associated with a vendor arbitration. That compares to net income, as adjusted, of $10.9 million, or $0.12 income per diluted share in 2019, excluding the impact of the preferred stock warrant valuation adjustment and the legal fees associated with a vendor arbitration.

Adjusted EBITDA was $32.4 million, an increase of $14.1 million from the $18.3 million reported in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 9.4%, an increase of 140 basis points from the 8.0% margin in the prior year period. The increase in both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin reflect the higher revenue as well as improved operating leverage across the business, partially offset by a one-time step-up of $5.2 million in incremental expenses in our first full year of being a public company. Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue, after giving effect to the one-time step-up in incremental expenses in our first full year of being a public company, was 16.7%.

Readers are encouraged to review Annex A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental revenue, and the calculation of net income, as adjusted, and net income per diluted share, as adjusted.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $6.5 million, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $5.5 million in the prior year period. For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities in 2020 was $36.2 million, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $1.5 million in 2019. The improvement in both the quarter and the full year was due primarily to the higher profitability, as well as the timing of billing and collections on quarterly cash flows.

Balance Sheet and Financial Position

As of December 31, 2020, the company had total working capital of approximately $112.4 million and no debt. This included cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $109.3 million, an increase of $4.3 million from the balances as of September 30, 2020, reflecting the strong cash flow generated in the quarter.

Key Metrics

The company had 135 clients as of December 31, 2020, compared to 87 clients as of December 31, 2019.

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, net income, as adjusted and net income per diluted share, as adjusted.

Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net income, as adjusted, and net income per diluted share, as adjusted, is a supplemental financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net income, as adjusted and net income per diluted share, as adjusted, 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, net income, as adjusted, and net income per diluted share, as adjusted, 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 is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool 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 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 and interest (income) expense, net; (5) it does not consider the impact of any stock warrant valuation adjustment; (6) it does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; (7) it does not include settlement cost and legal fees associated with a vendor arbitration; and (8) it does not include non-deferred costs associated with the IPO. In addition, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as we calculate the measure, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income from continuing operations and other GAAP results.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; other income; interest (income) expense, net; convertible preferred stock warrant valuation adjustment; provision for income taxes and settlement cost and legal fees associated with a vendor arbitration. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Please see Annex A: “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” elsewhere in this press release.
