Recent Events

On June 30, 2023, we acquired Comsort, Inc. d/b/a MediFind (“MediFind”) (the "MediFind Acquisition"), for total consideration of approximately $9.0 million. Consideration transferred included $4.1 million of cash, 150,786 shares of Phreesia common stock valued at $4.7 million and liabilities of $0.1 million. We acquired $0.2 million in cash in connection with the MediFind Acquisition, and we have presented cash paid to acquire MediFind of $3.9 million in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2023. MediFind is a consumer-facing healthcare product that helps patients—especially those with serious, chronic and rare diseases—find better care faster. We acquired MediFind to reinforce our commitment to patient-centered care and expand our offerings to consumers.

On August 11, 2023, we acquired Access eForms, LLC ("Access"), an innovative electronic forms management and automation provider that helps hospitals across the country streamline workflows, improve compliance and deliver a better patient experience, for total consideration of $38.4 million. Consideration transferred included $6.5 million of cash, 1,096,436 shares of Phreesia common stock valued at $30.6 million and liabilities of $1.2 million. We acquired Access to enhance and build on our existing functionality in the acute care space and to expand our network of clients and partners.

Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook

We are maintaining our revenue outlook for the full fiscal year 2024 ending January 31, 2024 at between $353 million and $356 million, implying year-over-year growth of 26% to 27%.

We are raising our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal year 2024 to a range of negative $54 million to negative $49 million from a previous range of negative $60 million to negative $55 million. The change reflects our strong performance in the second quarter.

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.

Fiscal Year 2025 Target

We are maintaining our $500 million revenue target to be achieved by annualizing our highest-revenue quarter in fiscal year 20251 and we continue to expect to reach profitability2 during fiscal year 2025. We also believe our cash and cash equivalents, along with cash generated in the normal course of business, can support our path to our fiscal year 2025 targets.

We believe our platform and diverse revenue streams offer us multiple paths for achieving our targets.

1 For our target revenue, "annualized" is defined as multiplying the highest-revenue quarter in fiscal year 2025 by four.
2 For the purposes of this statement, we define "profitability" in terms of Adjusted EBITDA.
