Our use of artificial intelligence may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational or other challenges.
Current report
We use, and may in the future continue to use, artificial intelligence (“AI”), including generative AI, in connection with our business and operations, including for internal operational and productivity improvement business purposes. There are significant risks involved in utilizing AI, the development and use of which is still in its early stages, and no assurance can be provided that such use will enhance our business or operations or result in our business or operations being more efficient or profitable. AI models and algorithms, and the data, prompts and other material or content on which it relies, as well as the output thereof, could be flawed, insufficient, of poor quality, reflect unwanted forms of bias, or contain other errors or inadequacies, any of which may not be easily detectable. AI has also been known to produce false or “hallucinatory” inferences or outputs, and AI can subject users to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational, reputational or other challenges. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by developers and end-users, or other factors adversely affecting public opinion of AI, could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. If the AI solutions that we use are or are perceived to be deficient, inaccurate or controversial, we could suffer operational inefficiencies, competitive harm, legal liability, brand or reputational harm, or other adverse impacts on our business, operations and financial results. The use of AI solutions by companies has also resulted in, and may in the future result in, failures, interruptions and security breaches of their information technology systems and data privacy violations that implicate the personal data or confidential information of users of such AI solutions. If any of our employees, contractors, vendors or service providers use any third-party AI solutions in connection with the services they provide to us, it may lead to the inadvertent disclosure of our confidential information, including personal information of our clients and members, which may impact our ability to secure such information, or adequately protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, harming our competitive position and business. Further, any content created by us using generative AI may not be subject to copyright protection which may adversely affect our intellectual property rights in, or ability to commercialize or use, any such content.
Current report
Regulation of AI is rapidly evolving worldwide and may change the competitive landscape of our and many other industries. AI is also an area of increased focus for legislators and regulators as this emerging technology develops. The technologies underlying AI and its uses are already subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property, data privacy and security, consumer protection, competition, and equal opportunity laws and regulations, and are expected to be subject to increased regulation and new laws or new applications of existing laws and regulations. It is possible that we will not be able to anticipate how to respond to these rapidly evolving frameworks, and we could be required to expend resources to adjust our offerings in certain jurisdictions if the legal frameworks are inconsistent across jurisdictions. If we do not have sufficient rights to use the models, algorithms, data, prompts or other material or content on which our AI solutions rely, or the output thereof, we could also incur liability through the violation of applicable laws and regulations, third-party intellectual property, privacy or other rights, or contracts to which we are a party. Furthermore, because AI technology itself is highly complex, costly, and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all of the legal, operational or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI.

Previous report
We currently have contracts to serve over 550 employers with at least 1,000 covered lives in the United States across more than 40 industries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, no client accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, one of our clients accounted for 12% of our total revenue (the “Client”). In the third quarter of 2024, we were notified that the Client elected to exercise a 90-day option to terminate its services agreement, effective as of January 1, 2025.

Previous wording
We have provided, and may continue to provide, guidance about our business and future results of operations. On November 6, 2025, we issued guidance for the fourth quarter of 2025 and full year 2025. Our guidance, which consists of forward-looking statements, is qualified by, and subject to, such assumptions, estimates and expectations as of the date such guidance is given and may be revised at a later time, solely in our discretion, as we learn more information. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In developing guidance, our management must make certain assumptions and judgments about, among other things, our business strategy, plans, and goals; expectations concerning our market position and future operations; and other financial and operating information, as well as the impact of events beyond our control, such as macroeconomic conditions, shortages of fertility medications or trends in utilization or consumption, that are inherently difficult to predict. While the guidance may be presented with numerical specificity, it is necessarily speculative in nature. Accordingly, our guidance is only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date of release of such guidance. Furthermore, analysts and investors may develop and publish their own projections of our business, which may form a consensus about our future performance. Our actual business results may vary significantly from such guidance or consensus due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control and which could adversely affect our business and future results of operations. In addition, if we make downward revisions of our previously announced guidance, or if our publicly announced guidance of our future results of operations fails to meet expectations of securities analysts, investors or other interested parties, the price of our common stock would decline.

The global economy has also been impacted by geopolitical tensions. There is currently significant uncertainty about future trade relationships between the United States and various other countries. Further escalation of specific trade tensions, or more broadly in global trade conflicts, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and operations. The U.S. government and other governments may impose tariffs on certain pharmaceutical drugs and their components that may impact pharmaceutical imports into the United States, and we, our customers, suppliers, and our pharmacy program partners may then become subject to additional tariffs and adverse business impacts. If we are not successful in mitigating the impact of tariffs, trade barriers, and other geopolitical disruptions, our business revenue, gross margins, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

As part of our growth strategy, we are focused on retaining and expanding our services within our existing client base. Our clients can expand the benefits they offer their employees in a number of ways, including by adding egg freezing, increasing the number of Smart Cycle units, and adding our Progyny Rx solution or any of our other solutions and services. We went live with Progyny Rx in 2018 and 91% of our current clients have now launched this solution, including approximately 95% of the clients we signed in 2024.

Previous wording
Our largest clients account for a significant portion of our revenue and a significant number of our clients are in the technology industry. The loss of one or more of these clients, changes to pricing terms with these clients or changes within the technology industry could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current wording
Our largest clients account for a significant portion of our revenue. In addition, a significant number of our clients are in the technology industry, and we generate a significant portion of our revenue from these clients. The loss of one or more of these clients, changes to pricing terms with these clients or changes within the technology industry could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Previous wording
Engagement with these clients is generally covered through contracts that are multi-year in duration. These clients may terminate early or decline to renew their existing contracts with us upon expiration, and any such termination or failure to renew could have a negative impact on our revenue and impact our long-term growth. Our clients could also renegotiate pricing terms at the time of renewal, which could have a negative impact on our revenue. In addition, we generate a significant portion of our revenue from clients in the technology industry. Any of a variety of changes in that industry, including reductions in workforce or heightened employee attrition, changes in economic conditions, mergers or consolidations, reduced spending on benefits programs and other factors, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current wording
We currently have contracts to serve over 590 employers with at least 1,000 covered lives in the United States across more than 40 industries. Our largest clients account for a significant portion of our revenue. In addition, a significant number of our clients are in the technology industry, and we generate a significant portion of our revenue from these clients. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, no client accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. Engagement with our clients is generally covered through contracts that are multi-year in duration. Our clients may terminate early, decline to renew their existing contracts with us upon expiration, or renegotiate pricing terms at the time of renewal, any of which could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, changes in the technology industry, including reductions in workforce or heightened employee attrition, changes in economic conditions, mergers or consolidations, reduced spending on benefits programs and other factors, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Previous wording
To increase our revenue, we must continue to attract new clients. Our ability to do so depends in large part on the success of our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to attract industry leaders in diversified sectors, which could prompt others in the same sectors to follow suit in order to remain competitive. Potential clients may seek out other options; therefore, we must demonstrate that our solutions are valuable and superior to alternatives. If we fail to provide high-quality solutions and convince clients of the benefits of our model and value proposition, we may not be able to attract new clients. The market for our solutions could decline or grow more slowly than we expect, including due to general economic conditions, high unemployment rates, reductions in workforce or employee attrition, impacts related to epidemics, pandemics, and outbreaks of contagious diseases, a decrease in business investments, including spending on employee benefits, and other factors. If the market for our solutions declines or grows more slowly than we expect, or if the number of clients that contract with us for our solutions declines or fails to increase as we expect, our financial results could be adversely impacted. As the markets in which we participate mature, fertility solutions and services evolve and competitors begin to enter into the market and introduce differentiated solutions or services that are perceived to compete with our solutions, particularly if such competing solutions are adopted by an industry leader in a particular sector, our ability to sell our solutions could be impaired. As a result of these and other factors, we may be unable to attract new clients, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording
It is also difficult for us to control or predict the consumption rate or mix of utilization of our solutions at the member level. If the actual utilization of our solutions by members is significantly greater than budgeted, our clients may be responsible for costs that exceed their planned expenditure. If we cannot help our clients accurately predict rate of consumption by their employees, our clients may turn to alternative solutions, and our business and profitability would be adversely impacted. In addition, higher clinical success rates and other factors could also impact timing and treatment paths, which may result in lower revenue per utilizing member.

From time to time, we may acquire or invest in businesses, joint ventures, products and services, or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our solutions, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. For example, we acquired Apryl GmbH, a Berlin-based fertility benefits platform, in June 2024 and Benefit Bump LLC, a comprehensive parental leave benefits navigation program for new and growing families in January 2025. We also expanded our offerings to include preconception, maternity and postpartum and menopause and midlife care solutions. We expect to make additional investments as we continue to introduce new solutions and services to enhance our comprehensive family building offering and our technology infrastructure, including systems architecture, scalability, availability, performance and security. Any such acquisition or investment may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable opportunities, whether or not the transactions are completed, and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties integrating the businesses, technologies, products and services, personnel or operations of any acquired companies, particularly if key personnel of an acquired company choose not to work for us, an acquired company is operationally difficult to integrate, or we have difficulty retaining the clients of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management or otherwise. Any such transactions that we are able to complete may not result in any synergies or other benefits we had expected to achieve, which could result in impairment charges that could be substantial. In addition, certain transactions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our results of operations. If the resulting business from a transaction fails to meet our expectations, or we fail to successfully integrate such businesses into our own, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected, or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.

Previous wording
We went live with our fertility benefits solution in 2016 and Progyny Rx in 2018. As a result of our limited operating history with our current platform of solutions, as well as a limited amount of time serving a majority of our client base, our ability to accurately forecast our future results of operations is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. Our historical revenue growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. Further, in future periods, our revenue growth could slow or decline for a number of reasons, including slowing demand for our solutions and fertility benefits in general, change in utilization trends by our members, general economic slowdown, an increase in unemployment rates, increased competition, changes in healthcare trends and regulations, changes to science relating to the fertility market, a decrease in the growth of the fertility market, or our failure to anticipate and adapt to changing market trends and to take advantage of growth opportunities. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties and our future revenue growth are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks effectively, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, and our business could suffer.

We experienced net losses from 2015 to 2019. For example, our net loss was $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. While we have experienced significant revenue growth since 2016, achieved profitability starting in 2020 and currently project future profitability, we cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient sales to sustain our growth or maintain profitability in the future. We also expect our costs and expenses to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect our future results of operations if our revenue does not increase sufficiently to cover increased costs. In particular, we expect to continue to invest in our sales and client success teams to educate potential clients and drive new client adoption, as well as expand the scope of Progyny benefits within our existing client base. We also expect to incur additional costs as we continue to introduce new solutions and services to enhance our comprehensive family building offering and our technology infrastructure, including systems architecture, scalability, availability, performance and security. We will face increased compliance costs associated with our growth and the expansion of our client base. In addition, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a public company. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our increased operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described herein, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown events. If we are unable to sustain profitability, the value of our business and common stock may significantly decrease.

The health benefits industry may be subject to negative publicity, which can arise from, among other things, increases in premium rates, industry consolidation, cost of care initiatives, drug prices and the ongoing debate over the ACA. In addition, negative publicity may result in increased regulation and legislative review of industry practices, which may further increase our costs of doing business and adversely affect our profitability. For example, PBM programs and drug rebates have been criticized as leading to a lack of transparency about the true cost of a drug, and certain members of Congress as well as HHS’s Office of Inspector General, or OIG, have proposed regulatory changes that could potentially affect our business and operations. Negative public perception or publicity of the health benefits industry in general, the insurance carriers with whom we integrate our solutions, our self-insured employer clients, or us could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the current environment, there are numerous and evolving risks to cybersecurity and data privacy, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, denial-of-service, ransomware, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, employee malfeasance and human or technological errors. High-profile cybersecurity breaches at other companies and government agencies have increased in recent years. There is the possibility of targeted cyberattacks by foreign countries or entities that could impact United States government and private companies’ technological infrastructures, some of which we utilize to provide our services. The healthcare industry has seen a shift to an accelerated use of digital and technological platforms, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of such shift, there have been, and may continue to be, more targeted cyberattacks and threats on us, our vendors, provider clinics and specialty pharmacies. Despite the implementation of security measures, including steps designed to secure our technology infrastructure and sensitive data, we cannot provide assurance that our current information technology system or any updates or upgrades thereto, the current or future information technology systems of the third parties with whom we do business, including our provider clinics, specialty pharmacies or other vendors, are fully protected against malicious intrusion, malware, computer viruses, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, information or data theft or other similar risks. Furthermore, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience cybersecurity breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period. Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate incidents or breaches due to attackers increasingly using tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence.

We have experienced in the past and expect to continue to experience actual and attempted cyberattacks of our information technology systems, such as through email phishing scams, spoofing attempts and malicious attachments. Although none of these actual or attempted cyberattacks has had a material adverse impact on our operations or financial condition, we cannot guarantee that such incidents will not have such an impact in the future. In addition, to the extent that any disruption or cybersecurity breach were to result in a loss or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability. We have access to sensitive information relating to members, our employees and our business partners in the ordinary course of our business. Any failure or perceived failure by us, or our third-party vendors on our behalf, to comply with U.S. and foreign data privacy and cybersecurity laws, rules and regulations, as well as contractual commitments in this respect, may result in governmental enforcement actions, fines, or litigation, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. If a significant data breach occurred, our reputation could be materially and adversely affected, confidence among our clients and members may be diminished, or we may be subject to legal claims, any of which may contribute to the loss of clients and have a material adverse effect on us. We maintain cyber liability insurance, however, this insurance may not be sufficient to cover the financial, legal, business or reputational losses that may result from an interruption or breach of our systems, and we cannot be sure that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. To the extent such disruptions or uncertainties result in the theft, destruction, loss or misappropriation or release of our confidential data or our intellectual property, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. See “Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Requirements—We operate in a highly regulated industry and must comply with a significant number of evolving legal and regulatory requirements, as well as complex judicial mandates, which could have an adverse impact on our business—Data Protection and Breaches.”

Any failure or perceived failure by us, or our third-party vendors on our behalf, to comply with U.S. and foreign data privacy and cybersecurity laws, rules and regulations, as well as contractual commitments in this respect, may result in governmental enforcement actions, fines, or litigation, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. If a significant data breach occurred, our reputation could be materially and adversely affected, confidence among our clients and members may be diminished, or we may be subject to legal claims, any of which may contribute to the loss of clients and have a material adverse effect on us. We maintain cyber liability insurance, however, this insurance may not be sufficient to cover the financial, legal, business or reputational losses that may result from an interruption or breach of our systems, and we cannot be sure that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. To the extent such disruptions or uncertainties result in the theft, destruction, loss or misappropriation or release of our confidential data or our intellectual property, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. See “Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Requirements—We operate in a highly regulated industry and must comply with a significant number of evolving legal and regulatory requirements, as well as complex judicial mandates, which could have an adverse impact on our business—Data Protection and Breaches.”

Additionally, in June 2022 the U.S. Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization reversed Roe v. Wade by holding that there is no constitutional right to abortion. Consequently, certain states have enacted or proposed restrictive abortion laws that may also implicate fertility procedures and travel reimbursement programs, which may decrease the demand for, or availability of, certain fertility services. Although President Biden issued executive orders and federal agencies have issued guidance intended to protect access to reproductive healthcare services, the enactment of certain state laws restricting abortion care and other changes in laws, or in interpretation of laws through court decisions, affecting fertility benefits may conflict with, and ultimately limit, the covered benefits offered by a company to its employees and the types of fertility treatment services available at provider clinics. We cannot predict the timing or impact of any future rule making, executive orders, court decisions or other changes in the law, or in how such laws, once enacted, would be interpreted and enforced.

Our business experiences moderate seasonality in revenue with a slightly higher proportion of revenue during the second half of the year as compared to the first half. Given that the majority of our clients contract with us for a January 1st benefits plan start date and that the average cost of treatments earlier in the overall treatment process is somewhat lower than the average cost as treatment progresses, our revenue from treatment services tends to grow as the year continues, particularly for new clients. In addition, as with most medical benefits plans, members will typically seek to maximize the use of their benefits once they have reached their annual deductible and/or annual out-of-pocket maximums, thereby increasing treatments in the latter part of the year. We expect that this seasonality will continue to affect our revenue and results of operations in the future as we continue to target larger enterprise clients.

Moreover, although we take measures to ensure that our employees do not use the confidential or proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or these employees have used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information, of third parties, including such individual’s former employer. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.

Many states have licensure or registration requirements for entities acting as a third party administrator, TPA, or pharmacy benefit manager, or PBM. We are licensed, are exempt from licensure or registration, or believe that we are otherwise authorized in the states where we provide TPA and PBM services. These licenses require us to comply with the rules and regulations of the governmental bodies that issued such licenses, including maintaining certain solvency or bonds requirements. Our failure to comply with such rules and regulations could result in significant administrative penalties, including monetary penalties and corrective action plans, the suspension of a license, or the loss of a license, all of which could negatively impact our business.

If we, or any of our downstream Business Associates, are unable to properly protect the privacy and security of protected health information entrusted to us, we could be in breach of contractual arrangements with our clients and be subject to investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, or OCR. In the event the OCR finds that we have failed to comply with applicable HIPAA privacy and security standards, we could face civil and criminal penalties.

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal and state laws, rules, regulations and standards govern the collection, dissemination, use, handling, transfer, processing, access to and confidentiality of personal information, some of which may be applicable to our business. Certain federal and state laws protect types of personal information that may be viewed as particularly sensitive. In many cases, state laws are more restrictive than, and not preempted by, HIPAA, and may allow personal rights of action with respect to data privacy or cybersecurity breaches, as well as fines. State laws are contributing to increased enforcement activity and may also be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities. The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, or the CCPA, gives California residents certain rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, including certain sensitive personal information, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches, which has increased the likelihood and risks associated with data breach litigation. Additional investment in compliance and potential business process changes may be required. Similar laws have passed in other states and are continuing to be proposed at the state and federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. Such laws could potentially impose conflicting requirements that would make compliance more challenging and could lead to additional liability. The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging and could lead to additional liability risks.

Separately, although ERISA generally preempts state laws that would otherwise apply to ERISA plans, the recent Supreme Court ruling in Rutledge v. Pharm. Care Mgmt. Ass’n established that ERISA does not preempt all state laws imposing transparency or other requirements on PBMs. If the interpretation of ERISA preemption is further narrowed in the future, our contractual obligations with our self-insured clients would likely require us to comply more broadly with state laws applicable to health insurance that do not currently apply to us. This may adversely impact our ability to standardize our products, solutions, and services across states.

PBM operations and business models are highly regulated and subject to frequently changing laws, regulations, government enforcement priorities, negative publicity, industry standards and other requirements. Recently, there have been a number of reform efforts focused on PBM regulation, program pricing, and transparency, from both federal and state legislatures and agencies, including, but not limited to, disclosure, receipt and retention of rebates and other payments received from pharmaceutical manufacturers or pharmacy program partners, rules governing contractual provisions between PBMs and their contracted payers and/or pharmacies, and registration or licensing of PBMs. If adopted, these proposals could affect our business by further restricting PBM practices critical to maintaining current levels of profitability or could impact our ability to meet future financial forecasts. For example, recently, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives proposed a number of bills that would, among other things, require PBMs to submit information on their costs, fees and rebates; require 100% of the rebates to be passed on to consumers; and/or impose rebates on manufacturers that choose to increase their drug prices at a rate that exceeds the inflation rate. In July 2024, the FTC released its interim staff report on PBMs and the impact of PBM rebates and fees on patients and payers. In September 2024, the FTC filed actions against certain PBMs related to their rebate practices.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Rutledge v. Pharm. Care Mgmt. Ass’nin December 2020 held that an Arkansas state law requiring PBMs to reimburse pharmacies at a price equal to or greater than the price pharmacies pay in purchasing medications from a wholesaler was not preempted by ERISA. The Supreme Court’s ruling solidifies the legality of state-level legislation regulating PBMs. New legislation aimed at controlling prescription drug costs and providing pricing transparency and regulatory oversight of PBMs has been enacted. At least 33 states have adopted some form of PBM oversight legislation. In certain states, PBMs are required to file transparency reports or otherwise disclose contractual arrangements with health plans or health insurance issuers and regulators have begun to conduct audits of PBM operations.

A large majority of states have adopted some form of oversight legislation. In certain states, PBMs are required to file transparency reports or otherwise disclose contractual arrangements with health plans or health insurance issuers and regulators have begun to conduct audits of PBM operations.
