Management Commentary

 

Will Febbo, OptimizeRx CEO commented, “We are very pleased with the financial and operational progress made during the quarter and believe a significant portion of the heavy lifting for the Company to hit its 2022 objectives has already been achieved. Our business continues to see limited impact from many of the supply chain related and inflationary macro headwinds that are impacting other industries. Moreover, rapidly shifting pharma commercial models with the need for uninterrupted access to HCPs are acting as catalysts and resulting in increased traction for our commercial team. As a result, my confidence in the trajectory of our business and recently introduced KPIs has only increased this year.”

 

“We are also delighted to note the completion of the EvinceMed acquisition, which helps further our industry-leading position and ultimately serves to expand us within key markets, including specialty medications. The acquisition expands the reach of our point-of-care solutions by simplifying the prescribing process of specialty medications and enabling greater access for patients across the nation’s largest digital HCP network.” concluded Mr. Febbo.

 

Q1 2022 Financial Summary

 

Total revenue reported for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $13.7 million, an increase of 22% over the approximately $11.2 million from the same period in 2021. The increased revenue resulted from increased sales from our core messaging solutions.

 

Gross margin increased to 59% from 55% in the year-ago quarter, with the increase related to a more favorable channel partner and solution mix.

 

Operating expenses totaled $11.9 million and increased from $6.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. This increase in expense is primarily due to investment in, and expansion of, our workforce to enable future growth and includes $2.5 million in additional stock based compensation than was recognized in the year-ago quarter.

 

Net loss on a GAAP basis was approximately $3.8 million or $(0.21) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $0.6 million or $(0.04) per basic and fully diluted share in the first quarter of 2021.

 

Non-GAAP net loss was $0.1 million or $(0.01) per basic and fully diluted shares outstanding, compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.6 million or $0.04 and $0.03 per basic and fully diluted share in the same year-ago period (see definition of this non-GAAP measure and reconciliation to GAAP, below).

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $89.0 million as of March 31, 2022, as compared to $84.7 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase to our cash balance was almost completely due to cash flows from operating activities.

2022 Financial Outlook

 

The Company is reaffirming its full year financial outlook for 2022 and continues to expect net revenues of $80 million to $85 million, representing year-over-year growth of 31% to 39%, respectively, and gross margins to come in between 57% and 60%.

 

The Company expects revenue growth will align closely with continued progress on the KPIs highlighted above and will be driven by its “land and expand” strategy of obtaining new customers and growing its existing clients’ spend by increasing the number of solutions each brand leverages, the number of brands supported, and overall utilization of its platform.

Definition and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This earnings release includes a presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share or non-GAAP EPS, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures.

 

The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net income (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 income (loss) divided by the number of weighted average shares outstanding on a basic and 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 cashflow 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 excludes 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 income (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 income (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 non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures,” included below, provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Definition of Key Performance Indicators*

 

Top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers: Top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers are based on Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2020 revenue.”

 

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.
