Progyny to Discuss its Strong 2022 Financial Performance at Upcoming Investor Conference

Anticipates Results to be at the High-End of its Previously Provided Financial Guidance
Anticipates Reporting Record Fourth Quarter Operating Cash Flow of Approximately $50 Million

NEW YORK, Jan. 09, 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 that the Company is participating in the 41st Annual JP Morgan Healthcare Conference, where it expects to discuss its expectations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

“We’re extremely pleased to see 2022 concluding on a strong note, with healthy utilization across our book of business, including those clients who launched their Progyny benefit in the latter part of the year. Accordingly, we now expect that our fourth quarter and full year 2022 revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA will be at or near the high-end of the financial guidance that we provided in our press release on November 28, 2022. In addition, we also expect to report record fourth quarter operating cash flow of approximately $50 million, or approximately $79 million for the full year, reflecting the high capital efficiency in our model,” said Pete Anevski, Progyny’s Chief Executive Officer.

“As we look into 2023, substantially all of the new clients and covered lives that we expect for this year have now already launched, and we continue to expect that our more than 370 clients will reflect 5.4 million covered lives. We also expect that our 2023 selling season activities will begin, as usual, around March, but the early activity we’re seeing from prospective clients is very encouraging and maintains our momentum from the 2022 season, where we won a record number of new clients and more than a quarter of our existing clients made the decision to expand their relationship with Progyny, even against the backdrop of the current macroeconomic environment. Taken together, we believe this reinforces our strong conviction that family building benefits continue to be a top priority for employers in 2023, and that Progyny is the brand of choice for employers looking to provide these benefits.”

Mr. Anevski will present at the 41st Annual JP Morgan Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at 8:15 A.M. Pacific Time / 11:15 A.M. Eastern Time. Following the presentation, Michael Sturmer, Progyny’s President, and Mark Livingston, Progyny’s Chief Financial Officer, will join Mr. Anevski for a breakout session.

A live audiocast and replay of both the presentation and the breakout session will be available from the Events and Presentations section of Progyny’s website at http://investors.progyny.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that this non-GAAP measure, 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 is helpful to our investors as it is a measure 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, 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, Adjusted EBITDA 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 Adjusted EBITDA, 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 and our other GAAP results.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; other income, net; interest income, net; and benefit for income taxes.
