Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of significant accounting policies	Summary of significant accounting policies (a) Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized internal-use software, the determination of the useful lives of property and equipment, the fair value of securities underlying stock-based compensation, the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities and deferred consideration in business acquisitions. (b) Revenue recognition The Company evaluates its contractual arrangements to determine the performance obligations and transaction prices. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized when the related performance obligations are satisfied. See Note 5 for additional information regarding ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as well as for additional details about the Company's products and service lines. (c) Concentrations of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and settlement assets. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held by established financial institutions. The Company does not require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment within 30 to 60 days of billing. Settlement assets are amounts due from well-established payment processing companies and normally take one or two business days to settle which mitigates the associated risk of concentration. The Company uses one third-party payment processor. The Company’s customers are primarily healthcare services organizations located in the United States as well as pharmaceutical companies. The Company did not have any individual customers that represented more than 10% of total revenues for the years ended January 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. As of both January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023, the Company had receivables from at least one entity that accounted for at least 10% of total accounts receivable. (d) Risks and uncertainties The Company is subject to a variety of risk factors, including the economy, data privacy and security laws and government regulations. Additionally, the Company is subject to other risks associated with the markets in which it operates including reliance on third-party vendors, partners, and service providers. The Company supplements its workforce with contractors and consultants, including a substantial number of contractors and consultants in international locations. Certain of the Company's service providers, including certain third-party software developers, are located in international locations subject to warfare and/or political and economic instability, such as Ukraine and India. As with any business, operation of the Company involves risk, including the risk of service interruption impacting the operations of the Company's business and the Company's customer’s facilities below expected levels of operation, shut downs due to the breakdown or failure of information technology and communications systems, changes in laws or regulations, political and economic instability, or catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, floods, explosions, global health concerns such as pandemics or other similar occurrences affecting the delivery of our productions and services. The occurrence of any of these events could significantly reduce or eliminate revenues generated, or significantly increase the expenses of the Company's operations, adversely impacting the Company’s operating results and the Company's ability to meet the Company's obligations and commitments. See Note 6 - Finance leases and other debt and Note 11 - Commitments and contingencies, for a summary of our contractual commitments as of January 31, 2024. (e) Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of personnel expenses for implementation and technical support, infrastructure costs for operation of our solutions such as hosting fees, and certain fees paid to various third-party providers for the use of their technology, as well as costs to verify insurance eligibility and benefits. Personnel expenses consist of salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits. (f) Payment processing expense Payment processing expense consists primarily of interchange fees set by payment card networks that are ultimately paid to the card-issuing financial institution, and assessment fees paid to payment card networks, and fees paid to third-party payment processors and gateways. (g) Sales and marketing Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits, bonuses and commission costs for our sales and marketing personnel. Sales and marketing expense also includes costs for advertising, promotional and other marketing activities, as well as certain fees paid to various third-party partners for sales lead generation. Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $1,900, $2,634 and $4,007 for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. (h) Research and development Research and development expense consists of costs for the design, development, testing and enhancement of the Company’s products and services that do not meet the criteria for capitalization as internal-use software. These costs consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits for our development personnel. Research and development expense also includes third-party partner fees and third-party consulting fees. (i) General and administrative General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits for our executive, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, and other administrative personnel. General and administrative expense also includes consulting, legal, security, accounting services and allocated overhead. (j) Depreciation Depreciation represents depreciation expense for PhreesiaPads and Arrivals Kiosks (collectively, Phreesia hardware), data center and other computer hardware, purchased computer software, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements. (k) Amortization Amortization primarily represents amortization of our capitalized internal-use software related to the Company's solutions as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets. (l) Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company's money market accounts meet the definition of cash equivalents. (m) Settlement assets Settlement assets represent amounts due from the Company’s payment processor for customer electronic processing transactions. Settlement assets are typically settled within one to two business days of the transaction date. (n) Settlement obligations Settlement obligations represent amounts due to customers for electronic processing transactions that have not been funded by the Company due to timing of settlement from the Company’s payment processor. (o) Accounts receivable Accounts receivable represent trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts as its current estimate of expected credit loss over the life of the instrument. The Company determines the allowance based on historical trends of accounts receivable balances that have been written off and specific account analysis of at-risk customers, the length of time accounts are past due, a customer's current ability to pay its obligations to the Company, the condition of the industry as a whole, as well as expected future changes in credit losses. Accounts receivable are written off at the point that internal collections efforts have been exhausted. As of January 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has reserved $1,392 and $1,053, respectively, for the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable also includes unbilled accounts receivable (see Contract balances in Note 5(f)). (p) Property and equipment Property and equipment, including PhreesiaPads and Arrivals Kiosks, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment have been estimated to be between three and seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred while expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. Upon sale or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. (q) Capitalized internal-use software The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred for the development of computer software for internal use pursuant to ASC 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal use software. These costs relate to the development of its solutions. The Company capitalizes the costs during the development of the project, when it is determined that it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Costs related to preliminary project activities, post-implementation activities, training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is generally three to five years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. The Company exercises judgment in determining the point at which various projects may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. To the extent that the Company changes the manner in which it develops and tests new features and functionalities related to its solutions, assesses the ongoing value of capitalized assets or determines the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized, the amount of internal-use software development costs the Company capitalizes and amortizes could change in future periods. Refer to Note 4(d) for further detail on internal-use software costs capitalized during the period. (r) Business combinations The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to its estimates to goodwill provided that the Company is within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations. When applicable, the consideration transferred for business combinations includes the acquisition-date fair value of deferred consideration liabilities. The Company recognizes interest expense to accrete deferred consideration liabilities to their settlement amount. (s) Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually and under certain circumstances. We perform such testing of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. The testing of goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting unit is the same as its operating segment. The test begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is concluded that it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing that fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company records a goodwill impairment to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill by the amount by which the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. All other intangible assets associated with purchased intangibles, consisting of customer relationships, acquired technology, acquired trademarks and acquired licenses, are recorded at acquisition-date fair value less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining economic lives. (t) Long-lived assets Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, intangible assets, capitalized internal-use software and operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment charges recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during any of the periods presented. (u) Income taxes An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting of current and deferred income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income or loss. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a Company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in the interim periods, and disclosure. The Company reviews and evaluates tax positions in its major jurisdictions and determines whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and the recording of a tax liability or the reduction of a tax asset. The Company would recognize tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, as a component of its provision for income taxes. (v) Segment information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company defines the term “chief operating decision maker” to be its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews the financial information presented on an entire company basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating our financial performance. Accordingly, we have determined that we operate in a single reportable operating segment. Additionally, substantially all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are located in the U.S. Since the Company operates in one operating segment and substantially all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are located in the U.S., all required financial segment information can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. (w) Stock-based compensation The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which various types of equity-based awards are granted, including stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based RSUs, and market-based performance stock units ("PSUs"). The compensation for the stock-based awards is recognized in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires that compensation cost be recognized for awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. For performance-based RSUs, the number of shares expected to vest is estimated at each reporting date based on management's expectations regarding the relevant performance criteria. The Company adjusts stock compensation expense for forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards in the periods the forfeitures occur. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of inputs and assumptions such as the exercise price of the option, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and dividend yield, and the value of the Company's common stock (which is estimated for awards granted prior to our IPO). The Company does not estimate forfeitures in recognizing stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on the grant date of the award. The fair value of market-based PSUs is estimated at the time of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation which compares Phreesia's projected total shareholder return ("TSR") to the projected TSR of the Russell 3000 Index (the "Peer Group") and estimates the value of shares to be issued based on the vesting conditions of the PSUs. The Monte Carlo simulation requires the use of inputs and assumptions such as the grant-date closing stock price, simulation, expected volatility, correlation coefficient to the Russell 3000 Index, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. During fiscal 2022, the Company adopted the Phreesia, Inc. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP" or "the Plan"). The Company will record compensation expense based on the grant date fair value per award granted multiplied by the number of awards granted to the employee for the purchase period. The number of awards granted to the employee for the purchase period is equal to the expected employee contributions divided by 85% of the closing stock price on the offering date. For liability-classified performance based stock bonus awards, at the beginning of the year, the Company offers eligible employees the option to elect to receive their year-end performance bonus in stock. Bonuses settled in stock are accounted for as stock-based compensation awards vesting based on a performance condition and are classified as liabilities because they represent a liability settled in a variable number of shares. During fiscal 2023, the Company adopted the 2023 Inducement Award Plan (the "Inducement Plan"). The Inducement Plan allows the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards including stock options, RSUs and PSUs to employees of acquired companies to induce them to join the Company. See Note 8 - Equity-based compensation, for additional information on stock-based compensation. (x) Fair value of financial instruments Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market. Level 3—Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. (y) Equity offering costs The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs will be recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the offering, to the extent there are sufficient proceeds. Should the equity financing no longer be considered probable of being consummated, all deferred offering costs would be charged to operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. (z) Foreign currency The Company has a branch office in Canada that provides operational support. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign branch is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign branch are re-measured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date with differences recorded as transaction gains and losses within other income (expense), net. (aa) New accounting pronouncements Impact of recently adopted accounting pronouncements During the year ended January 31, 2024, the Company did not adopt any accounting pronouncements that materially impacted the Company's financial statements. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting. The new standard requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and other segment items and requires companies to disclose all annual disclosures about segments in interim periods. The new standard also permits companies to disclose more than one measure of segment profit or loss, requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker, and requires companies with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by Topic 280 – Segment Reporting. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Companies are required to apply ASU 2023-07 retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-07 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized internal-use software, the determination of the useful lives of property and equipment, the fair value of securities underlying stock-based compensation, the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities and deferred consideration in business acquisitions.

The Company evaluates its contractual arrangements to determine the performance obligations and transaction prices. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized when the related performance obligations are satisfied. See Note 5 for additional information regarding ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as well as for additional details about the Company's products and service lines.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and settlement assets. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held by established financial institutions. The Company does not require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment within 30 to 60 days of billing. Settlement assets are amounts due from well-established payment processing companies and normally take one or two business days to settle which mitigates the associated risk of concentration. The Company uses one third-party payment processor.

The Company’s customers are primarily healthcare services organizations located in the United States as well as pharmaceutical companies. The Company did not have any individual customers that represented more than 10% of total revenues for the years ended January 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. As of both January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023, the Company had receivables from at least one entity that accounted for at least 10% of total accounts receivable.

The Company is subject to a variety of risk factors, including the economy, data privacy and security laws and government regulations. Additionally, the Company is subject to other risks associated with the markets in which it operates including reliance on third-party vendors, partners, and service providers. The Company supplements its workforce with contractors and consultants, including a substantial number of contractors and consultants in international locations. Certain of the Company's service providers, including certain third-party software developers, are located in international locations subject to warfare and/or political and economic instability, such as Ukraine and India. As with any business, operation of the Company involves risk, including the risk of service interruption impacting the operations of the Company's business and the Company's customer’s facilities below expected levels of operation, shut downs due to the breakdown or failure of information technology and communications systems, changes in laws or regulations, political and economic instability, or catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, floods, explosions, global health concerns such as pandemics or other similar occurrences affecting the delivery of our productions and services. The occurrence of any of these events could significantly reduce or eliminate revenues generated, or significantly increase the expenses of the Company's operations, adversely impacting the Company’s operating results and the Company's ability to meet the Company's obligations and commitments. See Note 6 - Finance leases and other debt and Note 11 - Commitments and contingencies, for a summary of our contractual commitments as of January 31, 2024.

Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of personnel expenses for implementation and technical support, infrastructure costs for operation of our solutions such as hosting fees, and certain fees paid to various third-party providers for the use of their technology, as well as costs to verify insurance eligibility and benefits. Personnel expenses consist of salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits.

Research and development expense consists of costs for the design, development, testing and enhancement of the Company’s products and services that do not meet the criteria for capitalization as internal-use software. These costs consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits for our development personnel. Research and development expense also includes third-party partner fees and third-party consulting fees.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits for our executive, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, and other administrative personnel. General and administrative expense also includes consulting, legal, security, accounting services and allocated overhead.

Accounts receivable represent trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts as its current estimate of expected credit loss over the life of the instrument. The Company determines the allowance based on historical trends of accounts receivable balances that have been written off and specific account analysis of at-risk customers, the length of time accounts are past due, a customer's current ability to pay its obligations to the Company, the condition of the industry as a whole, as well as expected future changes in credit losses. Accounts receivable are written off at the point that internal collections efforts have been exhausted. As of January 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has reserved $1,392 and $1,053, respectively, for the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Property and equipment, including PhreesiaPads and Arrivals Kiosks, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment have been estimated to be between three and seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred while expenditures for major improvements are capitalized.

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred for the development of computer software for internal use pursuant to ASC 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal use software. These costs relate to the development of its solutions. The Company capitalizes the costs during the development of the project, when it is determined that it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended.

The Company exercises judgment in determining the point at which various projects may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. To the extent that the Company changes the manner in which it develops and tests new features and functionalities related to its solutions, assesses the ongoing value of capitalized assets or determines the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized, the amount of internal-use software development costs the Company capitalizes and amortizes could change in future periods. Refer to Note 4(d) for further detail on internal-use software costs capitalized during the period.

The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to its estimates to goodwill provided that the Company is within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually and under certain circumstances. We perform such testing of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company defines the term “chief operating decision maker” to be its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews the financial information presented on an entire company basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating our financial performance. Accordingly, we have determined that we operate in a single reportable operating segment. Additionally, substantially all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are located in the U.S. Since the Company operates in one operating segment and substantially all of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets are located in the U.S., all required financial segment information can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which various types of equity-based awards are granted, including stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based RSUs, and market-based performance stock units ("PSUs"). The compensation for the stock-based awards is recognized in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires that compensation cost be recognized for awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. For performance-based RSUs, the number of shares expected to vest is estimated at each reporting date based on management's expectations regarding the relevant performance criteria. The Company adjusts stock compensation expense for forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards in the periods the forfeitures occur.

The fair value of stock options is estimated at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of inputs and assumptions such as the exercise price of the option, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and dividend yield, and the value of the Company's common stock (which is estimated for awards granted prior to our IPO). The Company does not estimate forfeitures in recognizing stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on the grant date of the award. The fair value of market-based PSUs is estimated at the time of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation which compares Phreesia's projected total shareholder return ("TSR") to the projected TSR of the Russell 3000 Index (the "Peer Group") and estimates the value of shares to be issued based on the vesting conditions of the PSUs. The Monte Carlo simulation requires the use of inputs and assumptions such as the grant-date closing stock price, simulation, expected volatility, correlation coefficient to the Russell 3000 Index, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.

During fiscal 2022, the Company adopted the Phreesia, Inc. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP" or "the Plan"). The Company will record compensation expense based on the grant date fair value per award granted multiplied by the number of awards granted to the employee for the purchase period. The number of awards granted to the employee for the purchase period is equal to the expected employee contributions divided by 85% of the closing stock price on the offering date.
