We will provide instructions for the question and answer session to follow. First, I would like to introduce Balaji Gandhi, Phreesia's Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Gandhi, you may begin.
Thank you, operator. Good evening, and welcome to Phreesia's earnings conference call for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, which ended on July 31st of 2026.

Thank you, Balaji, and good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining our second quarter fiscal year 2027 earnings call. We delivered a solid fiscal second quarter with revenue growth and profitability expansion in line with our expectations. We generated positive operating and free cash flow again this quarter, which together with available cash allowed us to reduce debt principal by over $23 million while maintaining a healthy cash balance. Balaji will cover the results and our outlook. We believe we are uniquely positioned in the market through our diverse set of product offerings to drive meaningful value to every patient visit in the U.S. AccessOne is an important extension of our value proposition because healthcare consumers are bearing a greater share of the ever-growing cost of healthcare.
We've heard from our clients and many other providers across the country that the need for a humane and predictable financing solution for healthcare consumers has never been greater. ProviderConnect, our newest network solutions offering, also extends our value proposition and addressable market. Momentum for this new product continues to build. In the GLP-1 category, a four-month study showed a 4% incremental lift in new-to-brand prescriptions versus a matched control group and more than 1,000 new patient starts. I am proud of our team's commitment to our mission and values. Now I'll turn it over to Balaji to walk through Q2 results and our fiscal 2027 outlook.
Thank you, Chaim. Let me begin with a review of our second quarter financial performance, and we'll then dive into our outlook for fiscal year 2027. Revenue for the second quarter was $129.5 million, an increase of 10% year-over-year. On a sequential basis, total revenue declined approximately 1% from the first quarter, driven primarily by our legacy payment processing revenue. As a reminder, given the seasonality in our payment processing business associated with the reset of health plan deductibles, payment processing revenue is typically highest during the first fiscal quarter of each year. We ended the quarter with average healthcare services clients of 4,744, an increase of 36 from the prior quarter and 277 from the prior year. Client additions in the quarter were in line with our expectations and consistent with our full-year outlook for AHSC growth in the mid-single digit percentage range.
Total revenue per AHSC was $27,289, up 4% year-over-year. On a sequential basis, total revenue per AHSC declined approximately 2%, reflecting the payment processing seasonality I just described, along with continued growth in our client base. Moving on to profitability. Adjusted EBITDA was $32.9 million, an increase of $10.8 million year-over-year, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25%. Net income was $1.9 million compared to net income of $700,000 in the prior year period, representing our fifth consecutive quarter of positive net income. Total managed payments were $1.626 billion in the quarter, and our payment solutions revenue rate was 2.4%. Now turning to the balance sheet and cash flow updates. We ended the quarter with $74.6 million in cash equivalents, and restricted cash. This compares to $76.4 million in the prior quarter.
We delivered our ninth consecutive quarter with positive operating cash flow and free cash flow. Operating cash flow was $18.3 million, up $3.5 million year-over-year. Free cash flow was $13.8 million, up $4.2 million year-over-year. This cash flow, together with available cash, allowed us to reduce debt principal by over $23 million while maintaining a healthy cash balance. We expect that the magnitude of improvement on a quarter-to-quarter basis to vary based on specific timing of invoicing and payments, which you can see in working capital along with CapEx. Our second quarter results demonstrate our team's focus on growing our network, expanding our offerings, driving operating leverage, and strengthening our balance sheet. I'd like to acknowledge the entire Phreesia team for their contributions.
Transitioning to our outlook for fiscal 2027, we are maintaining our revenue outlook for fiscal 2027 at a range of $510 million to $520 million. The revenue range provided for fiscal 2027 assumes approximately $37 million of contribution from AccessOne and no additional revenue from potential future acquisitions completed between now and January 31, 2027. We are maintaining our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal 2027 at a range of $125 million to $135 million. The restructuring plan we implemented in May is expected to result in meaningful annualized run rate expense savings, which were reflected in the outlook we provided on March 30 and reaffirmed on May 27. We are maintaining our expectation for AHSC growth in the mid-single-digit percentage range and for total revenue per AHSC growth in the low single-digit percentage range in fiscal 2027.
Operator, I think we can now open up the lines for the Q&A session.
We will now begin the question and answer session. Please limit yourself to one question. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star one again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Sean Dodge with BMO Capital Markets. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Thanks. Good afternoon. Maybe just starting on AccessOne. Last quarter, you all talked about the changes you made to your securitization facility and how that enables you to offer the upfront funding to other non-investment grade clients. Just any updates you can share on how selling into this kind of new part of the base is going, and then maybe just how the process of restarting the AccessOne selling motion just in general is going.
Thanks. Yeah. Thanks, Sean. This is Balaji.
I will start and kick it over to Chaim to add anything. We are feeling really good about this acquisition. I think better now than at the time when we closed the acquisition. We have had lots of conversations, both internally and externally, around the value proposition specifically to that segment of the market that you cited. And so, obviously these things do take time, but I would say the progress we have made over the past several months, you mentioned it starts with the securitization expansion, and then it is just really go to market and product fit, everything like that. I am looking at Chaim. He has got anything. I agree.
