Background on the LifeStance Health Group, Inc. Securities Class Action

LifeStance Health is a mental healthcare company that focuses on providing outpatient treatment services for children, adolescents, and adults both in-person and through digital telemedicine. At the time of its IPO, LifeStance employed roughly 3,300 psychiatrists, advanced practice nurses, psychologists, and therapists across 27 different states.

The Complaint alleges that LifeStance made false and/or misleading statements in its IPO Registration Statement. Specifically, the Registration Statement failed to disclose that: (i) as the COVID-19 lockdowns were being lifted, the number of virtual visits with clients was decreasing, which halted the Company’s out-patient/virtual revenue growth; (ii) the percentage of in-person visits with clients utilizing LifeStance was increasing as COVID-19 lockdowns were being lifted, which substantially increasing LifeStance’s operating expenses; (iii) due to burnout, LifeStance lost a substantial number of physicians and the Company’s physician retention rate fell significantly below the 87% figure highlighted in the Registration Statement; (iv) LifeStance was incurring additional costs to onboard new physicians who were less productive than the ones they were replacing; and (v) as a result of the foregoing, LifeStance’s business metrics and financial prospects were not as strong as the Registration Statement described.

At the time the LifeStance Health Group lawsuit was filed, LifeStance’s common stock trades in a range of $4.77-$7.70, a reduction of upwards 73% from the IPO price.
