encouraging renewal discussions, contributing to a more optimistic tone than is typical at this stage.

Management noted an increase in RFP activity from employers currently served by smaller, venture-backed fertility

benefit competitors. While avoiding definitive conclusions, the company suggested this trend may reflect challenges

among competitors that have yet to achieve profitability or sustainable business models. Management highlighted

that many competitors have been operating longer than Progyny but still appear to be searching for viable models. In

contrast, Progyny has demonstrated sustained growth, profitability, strong retention, and superior clinical outcomes.

Overall, the increase in competitive RFP activity is viewed as a positive indicator for potential market share gains.

Management addressed concerns around AI-related employment disruption. The company pushed back on the

perception that its membership base is heavily concentrated in white-collar technology workers, noting that

healthcare is now its largest industry, with manufacturing, consumer goods, energy, and other labor-intensive sectors

also well represented. Management argued that the primary fertility-utilizing age cohort (approximately 30-42) is not

the segment most vulnerable to AI-driven displacement, which is expected to affect more junior workers. Additionally,

PGNY reiterated that there is no evidence of employers reducing fertility benefits despite broader healthcare cost

pressures. Approximately 30% of existing clients continue to expand their fertility-related offerings annually.
