( Nasdaq : PGNY ) , a leading benefits management company specializing in fertility and family building benefits solutions in the United States , today announced its financial results for the three - month period ended September 30 , 2021 ( " the third quarter of 2021 " ) as compared to the three - month period ended September 30 , 2020 ( " the third quarter of 2020 " or " the prior year period " ) . " Our selling season for 2022 launches is now largely complete , and although we set a high bar for what we wanted to achieve this year , we fully met those expectations , receiving commitments from more than 85 new clients who represent an estimated 1.2 million new covered lives , " said David Schlanger , Chief Executive Officer of Progyny . " Because of our sustained track record of producing industry - leading outcomes and achieving extraordinarily high member satisfaction rates , we believe Progyny has become both the provider of choice and the established industry leader for fertility benefits solutions for many of the most prominent companies in the world , as evidenced by the record results we achieved in the recently concluded selling season . " Record Number of New Clients and New Covered Lives Added for 2022 Reports Third Quarter Revenue of $ 122.3 Million ; Expects Full Year 2021 Revenue Growth Between 47 % and 49 % Expects Full Year 2022 Revenue Growth of Approximately 50 % David Schlanger to Become Executive Chairman and Pete Anevski Named CEO Effective in 2022 " To put our latest selling season into perspective , we added more new clients one year and nearly as many new covered lives - as what we had , in aggregate , when we went public just two years ago , " said Pete Anevski , Progyny's President and Chief Operating Officer . " We believe this strong result affirms our competitive differentiation as compared to other solutions , while further attesting to our ability to scale our operations and successfully address our market opportunities . " Financial Highlights " This quarter , revenue grew by 24 % , margins expanded significantly as compared to the prior year period , and we generated a substantial amount of operating cash flow . As previously disclosed , appointment volumes at the start of the third quarter were modestly lower than historical patterns , which we continue to believe reflected unusual - and temporary - behavior among a small subset of our members , " said Mark Livingston , Progyny's Chief Financial Officer . " While this impacted member utilization and revenue for the quarter , utilization improved over the course of the quarter from its low point , although not at the rate that was needed to meet the higher end of the guidance ranges we gave in August . Importantly , in the fourth quarter , utilization continues to improve to levels that are above where we exited the third quarter .
