Question

Jack Wallace from Guggenheim Securities inquired about the headwinds impacting the clinical business, such as compounded GLP-1s and marketing challenges, and asked for an update on the B2B pipeline's expected contribution.

Answer

CEO Sima Sistani acknowledged a significant increase in clinic customer acquisition cost (CAC) due to more competitors and higher media costs, leading to a pullback in marketing spend. She noted clinic retention is improving to 6.5 months. On the B2B front, Sistani highlighted strong sales momentum, with CFO Heather Stark adding that B2B revenue is expected to be around $30 million this year, though individual contracts are not yet material on their own.

Jack Wallace's questions to ACCD leadership

Jack Wallace's questions to ACCD leadership • Q1 2025

Question

Inquired about expected win rates for the year and how much of any change would be due to Accolade's own discipline on pricing versus losing competitively, distinguishing between 'regrettable' and 'non-regrettable' losses.

Answer

The company expects its win rate to continue to be strong in the vast majority of deals. They will remain disciplined on price in certain large, one-off opportunities, which they would classify as 'non-regrettable' losses. For the bulk of the market where they bid competitively, they do not expect their win rates ('regrettable losses') to change. The rate of 'no decisions' is also declining as the market category matures.
