Management Commentary
Will Febbo, OptimizeRx CEO commented, “We continue to perform strongly against our long term land-and-expand strategy and continue to have favorable net revenue retention despite the various macro factors that resulted in a weaker than expected second quarter. We believe the impact is temporary in nature, and our value proposition remains strong, as is evidenced by the fact that we count 95% of the industry’s top 20 pharma manufacturers as our customers.
We have advanced our omnichannel reach through recent acquisitions and exclusive partnerships, strengthening our platform’s capabilities and its desirability to our customer base. These factors build on our already strong value proposition with our clients by driving broader and deeper opportunities to engage with HCPs and patients. As we work to address affordability, access, and adherence challenges in new ways, we reinforce our foundation for strong profitable growth."
Q2 2022 Financial Summary
Total revenue reported for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $14.0 million, an increase of 3% over the approximately $13.6 million from the same period in 2021. The increased revenue resulted from increases in sales from our access solutions.
Gross margin increased to 64% from 59% in the year-ago quarter, with the increase related to a more favorable channel partner and solution mix.
Operating expenses totaled $12.9 million and increased from $7.7 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 $3.1 million in additional stock based compensation than was recognized in the year-ago quarter.
Net loss on a GAAP basis was approximately $3.9 million or $(0.21) per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.4 million or $0.02 per basic and fully diluted share in the second quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP net income was $0.7 million or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted shares outstanding, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.8 million or $0.10 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 $87.4 million as of June 30, 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
Based on first half results, the Company is updating its full year financial outlook for 2022 and now expects net revenue of $62 million to $68 million, representing year-over-year growth of 1% to 11%, respectively, and gross margins to be between 59% and 62%.
Our change to the second half 2022's outlook is driven by what we perceive to be temporary life sciences industry challenges related to a slowdown in the number of new drug approvals, increased turnover rates at client companies and longer sales cycles associated with larger deal sizes in the funnel.

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 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 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 June 30, 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.
