Management Commentary

  • CEO Chaim Indig: “We are excited about the future here at Phreesia. Our network continues to grow, adoption of our current offerings is increasing, and we are beginning to see the promise of new solutions we are investing in.” “We are on track to finish the year strong… set up for continued growth and profitability in fiscal 2026.”
  • CFO Balaji Gandhi: “Expense discipline… thinking like owners and really being good stewards of capital… when you find opportunities for efficiency, a bunch of it drops to the bottom line, but some of it can be reinvested” . “Operating cash flow was positive at $5.8M… Free cash flow was positive at $1.6M… cash was $82M, no borrowings on our $50M credit facility” .

Q&A Highlights

  • Profitability vs reinvestment: Management emphasized sustained expense discipline and reallocation toward efficiency while reinvesting in growth, underpinning the FY2026 EBITDA step‑up .
  • Revenue per AHSC drivers: Continuous optimization of go‑to‑market and cross‑selling across providers and Life Sciences; deal values ~20% larger YoY, supporting growth in total revenue per client .
  • Acquisitions monetization: Not fully monetized yet, but progress underway; focus is on total revenue per client across all streams rather than subscription alone .
  • Network Solutions selling cadence: Heavy fall selling season; visibility slightly ahead of last year; variability drives wider revenue range intra‑year .
  • Retention & pipeline durability: Gross revenue retention ~94%–96% since IPO; pipeline size steady with larger transactions .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global consensus for Q3 FY2025 revenue and EPS was unavailable at time of analysis due to data access limits, so a beat/miss assessment vs Street cannot be determined.
  • Given FY2026 EBITDA raised to $78–$88M and FY2025 EBITDA raised to $34–$36M, estimates are likely to adjust upward for profitability while revenue narrows to the mid‑$418–$420M range .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Profitability inflection continues: two consecutive positive operating and free cash flow quarters, with FY2026 EBITDA guidance implying a significant step‑up on operating leverage .
  • Network Solutions momentum (+27% YoY) and policy/privacy tailwinds (NAI, PAM expansion) support monetization and should drive total revenue per AHSC higher over time .
  • Deal values ~20% larger YoY with steady pipeline suggest sustained growth in revenue per client; watch selling season execution in Q4 .
  • Payments headwinds (take rate down to 2.82%; expense ratio 68%) and clearinghouse wind‑down are manageable but temper payments contribution near‑term .
  • Guidance quality improving: FY2025 revenue range narrowed and EBITDA raised; FY2026 introduced with clear targets, indicating higher confidence in margin trajectory .
  • Operational discipline: Sales & Marketing at 28% of revenue in Q3 with management reiterating expense discipline—supports continued EBITDA expansion even without significant opex growth .
  • Near‑term trading: Focus on Q4 Network Solutions bookings and any further updates to FY2026 outlook; medium‑term thesis centers on expanding provider network (AHSC ~4,200 for FY2025; ~4,500 FY2026) and increasing total revenue per AHSC .
