Background and liquidity

(a) Background

Phreesia, Inc. (the Company) is a leading provider of comprehensive solutions that transform the healthcare experience by engaging patients in their care and enabling healthcare provider organizations to optimize operational efficiency, improve profitability and enhance clinical care. Through the SaaS-based Phreesia Platform (the Phreesia Platform), the Company offers healthcare provider organizations a robust suite of solutions to manage the patient intake process and a leading payments solution for secure processing of patient payments. The Company’s Platform also provides life sciences companies with an engagement channel for targeted and direct communication with patients. The Company was formed in May 2005, and has its corporate headquarters in New York, and operations offices in Raleigh, North Carolina and Ottawa, Canada.

(b) Initial public offering

On July 22, 2019, the Company closed its initial public offering (IPO), in which the Company issued and sold 7,812,500 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $18.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $130,781, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $9,844 but before deducting deferred offering costs of $6,412. In addition to the shares of common stock sold by the Company upon the IPO, certain selling stockholders sold an aggregate of 2,868,923 shares of common stock as part of the IPO. In addition, all then outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred stock converted into 25,311,525 shares of common stock and the Company issued 757,625 shares of common stock as a result of the cashless exercise of warrants as of January 31, 2020.

On December 17, 2019, the Company closed its follow-on offering of 7,762,500 shares of common stock sold by certain selling stockholders. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the follow-on offering but did incur $1,047 in transaction costs, recorded as general and administrative expense within the statement of operations.

(c) Liquidity

Since the Company commenced operations, it has not generated sufficient revenue to meet its operating expenses and has continued to incur significant net losses. To date, the Company has primarily relied upon the proceeds from issuances of preferred stock and debt, and most recently with proceeds from the IPO, to fund its operations as well as sales of Company products and services in the normal course of business. Management believes that losses and negative cash flows will continue for at least the next year.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2020, along with cash generated in the normal course of business, and available borrowing capacity under its February 2019 Credit Facility (See Note 6), are sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company will obtain additional financing if needed to successfully implement its long-term strategy. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if needed, can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. The ability of the Company to achieve successful operations will depend on, among other things, new business, the retention of customers, and the effectiveness of sales and marketing initiatives. The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in its stage of business life cycle, including dependence on key individuals, competition in the marketplace, and the need to fund future product and services development.
