Background and liquidity

(a) Background

Phreesia, Inc. (the Company) is a leading provider of comprehensive software 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 and safety. Through the SaaS-based Phreesia Platform (the Phreesia Platform or 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. In connection with the patient intake and registration process, Phreesia offers its provider customers the ability to lease tablets (PhreesiaPads) and on-site kiosks (Arrivals Kiosks) along with their monthly subscription. The Company was formed in May 2005, and has offices in Raleigh, North Carolina and Ottawa, Canada.

The Company did not renew its New York lease at the end of the lease term in January 2021. On December 9, 2020, the Company changed its headquarters from New York, New York to Raleigh, North Carolina.

(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 2,868,923 shares of common stock as part of the IPO.

Upon closing of the IPO, the Company's outstanding shares of Senior A redeemable convertible preferred stock (Senior A Preferred), Senior B redeemable convertible preferred stock (Senior B Preferred, and together with the Senior A Preferred, the Senior Preferred), and the Junior convertible preferred stock (the Junior Preferred, and together with the Senior Preferred, the Convertible Preferred) automatically converted into shares of common stock and all outstanding shares of the Company's redeemable preferred stock (Redeemable Preferred) were automatically extinguished and cancelled at the closing of the IPO. In addition, the Company's warrants to purchase shares of Senior Preferred were converted into warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock upon the closing of the IPO. Additionally, 588,763 shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of common stock warrants. Also, in connection with the IPO, the Company paid $14,955 in dividends to the Senior Preferred stockholders.

(c) Follow-on offerings

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.

On October 23, 2020, the Company closed an additional public offering in which the Company issued and sold 5,750,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $32.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $174,510 after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses.

(d) 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 common stock, debt and preferred stock to fund its operations as well as sales of Company products and services in the normal course of business. Management believes that net losses and negative cash flows will continue for at least the next year.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents at January 31, 2021, along with cash generated in the normal course of business, and available borrowing capacity under its Second Amended and

Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Second SVB Facility") (Note 6), are sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company will seek to obtain additional financing, if needed, to successfully implement its long-term strategy.
