ROCHESTER, Mich., Aug. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptimizeRx Corp. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPRX), a leading provider of point-of-care technology solutions helping patients start and stay on therapy, reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Quarterly comparisons are to the same year-ago period.

Financial Highlights

  • Revenue in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 1% to $13.8 million, as compared to $14.0 million in the same year ago period.
  • Gross profit in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 13% year-over-year to $7.8 million, from $9.0 million during the second quarter of 2022.
  • GAAP net loss totaled $(4.2) million or $(0.24) per basic and diluted shares outstanding in the second quarter, as compared to $(3.9) million or $(0.21) during the second quarter of 2022.
  • Non-GAAP net loss in the second quarter totaled $(0.2) million or $(0.01) per fully diluted shares outstanding, as compared to $0.7 million or $0.04 per fully diluted shares outstanding during the second quarter of 2022 (see definition of this non-GAAP measure and reconciliation to GAAP, below).
  • The Company repurchased 526,999 shares at an average price of $14.27 per share in the second quarter of 2023 for a total of $7.5 million.
  • Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $62.7 million as of June 30, 2023 as compared to $74.1 million as of December 31, 2022

Will Febbo, OptimizeRx CEO commented, “I am disappointed to report second quarter results fell below the internal expectations underlying our May strategic update. The primary impact was due to a revenue shortfall in certain non-core business lines as well as longer than expected MLR reviews that pushed revenue into the second half of the year. Moreover, we are still being affected by the macro headwinds we identified last year and expect this will persist through 2023, as we continue to pursue larger scale RWD.AI enterprise deals. Despite these events, there were several bright spots in the period which speak to our land and expand strategy including the securing of three additional AI contracts with existing clients. We will continue to build upon a strong base of customers as we serve all our top 20 pharma manufacturers in the marketplace.”

“Looking ahead, we strongly contend that the life sciences industry is only at the beginning of its digital shift with a full realization expected to occur in the next two to five years. We are optimizing our portfolio in order to concentrate our team and efforts on our RWD.AI-enabled healthcare technology platform which helps pharma acquire and onboard patients. This transformational offering is the most differentiated and growing part of our business, seeing year-over-year growth of 186%. As a result, we will deploy our resources to the areas with the overwhelming majority of our revenues and, in the second half of 2023, we will reduce our cash operating expense run rate going into 2024 by at least 10%. We expect the second half of 2023 to show positive momentum as it relates to our client enterprise deals, channel partner expansion and strategic initiatives in our core business."

Definition and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes a presentation of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per diluted share or non-GAAP EPS, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company defines non-GAAP net loss as GAAP net loss with an adjustment to add back depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, income or loss related to the fair value of contingent consideration, and deferred income taxes. Non-GAAP EPS is defined as non-GAAP net loss divided by the number of weighted average shares outstanding on a diluted basis. The Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures to aid investors in better understanding its performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight into the operations and cash flow of the Company.

Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a Company’s non-cash operating expenses, management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company’s core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as provides an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating the Company’s own core business operating results over different periods of time.

The Company’s non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate such non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company’s non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures to be substitutes for or superior to the information provided by its GAAP financial results.

The table, “Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Financial Measures,” included below, provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Definition of Key Performance Indicators*
Top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers: We have updated the definition of "top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers" in our key performance indicators to be based upon Fierce Pharma's most updated list of "The top 20 pharma companies by 2022 revenue". We previously used "The top 20 pharma companies by 2020 revenue". As a result of this change, prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes.

Net revenue retention: Net revenue retention is a comparison of revenue generated from all clients in the previous period to total revenue generated from the same clients in the following year (i.e., excludes new client relationships for the most recent year).

Revenue per average Full Time Employee: We define revenue per average full-time employee (FTE) as total revenue over the last 12 months (LTM) divided by the average number of employees over the LTM, which is calculated by taking our total number of FTEs at the end of the prior year period by our total FTE headcount at the end of the most recent.
