OptimizeRx Joins MSCI USA Microcap Index

 

ROCHESTER, Mich., (November 30, 2018) — OptimizeRx Corp. (Nasdaq: OPRX), a leading provider of digital health messaging for the pharmaceutical industry, joined the MSCI USA Microcap Index at the conclusion of the MSCI indexes semi-annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. market closes today, according to the MSCI website.

 

“Joining the MSCI USA Microcap Index represents another major market milestone for OptimizeRx after our up-listing to Nasdaq earlier this year,” said OptimizeRx CEO, William Febbo. “We expect it to provide us greater visibility in the investment community. We believe it reflects how we’ve now arrived at an inflection point in our growth and development, supported by our recent acquisition of CareSpeak Communications and our growing point-of-care network. This network now reaches more than half of the ambulatory patient market in the U.S. where it is helping to improve medication affordability, adherence and health care outcomes.”

 

OptimizeRx recently reported record third quarter of 2018 results, its eighth consecutive quarter of revenue growth and second consecutive quarter of profitability. Net revenue increased 75% to a record $5.4 million, gross margin improved from 45.1 percent to 58.1 percent, and net income of $245,000 or $0.02 per diluted share.

The MSCI USA Micro Cap Index is designed to measure the performance of the micro-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. According to MSCI, with nearly 1,000 constituents, the index represents approximately 1% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in the U.S. The index is reviewed quarterly and rebalanced in May and November semi-annual index reviews.
