OptimizeRx Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2016 Results
Rebranding, Expanded Allscripts Partnership, and Investments in Sales Team Support Growth in Q4 and into 2017
ROCHESTER, MI – November 7, 2016 – OptimizeRx Corp. (OTCQB: OPRX), a health technology software company whose premier content-delivery platform enables pharmaceutical companies to offer doctors valuable product information and patient support right at point of prescribe, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Q3 2016 Highlights & Subsequent Events
| ● | In October, the company announced independent research results confirming OptimizeRx delivered pharmaceutical brands a return on investment that ranged from 300% to 1,200%. |
| ● | In October, the company expanded its partnership with Allscripts, a global leader in healthcare information technology solutions, to increase focus on clinical messaging for pharmaceutical companies. |
| ● | Financial messaging, i.e., eCoupons, distributed for 75 brands in the third quarter of 2016, up from 71 brands in the third quarter of 2015 and continued testing of the market with 60 generic financial assistance programs. |
| ● | Gross margin was $1.1 million or 59% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to $1.0 million or 48% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2015. The increase was due to a favorable product mix shift to higher margin brand support. |
| ● | Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.6 million at September 30, 2016, as compared to $7.6 million at June 30, 2016. |
| ● | Completed re-branding of the company in the quarter to demonstrate its ability to provide financial and clinical messaging as well as brand support services, such as drug file integration and sales force training. |
Q3 2016 Financial Summary
Net revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $1.8 million versus $2.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease in net revenue was due to a number of brand programs completing ROI studies requested by large pharmaceutical clients. The company expects that the studies will confirm that the OptimizeRx platform substantially increases total prescriptions for its promoted brands given the platform’s very positive history with these ROI evaluations. In fact, the company recently announced publicly the results of independent research studies demonstrating that OptimizeRx delivered pharmaceutical brands a return on investment ranging from 300% to 1,200%.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2016 were $1.3 million, as compared to $0.9 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses related to growth initiatives, including investments in the company’s executive and sales team and related marketing and travel. Since the third quarter of 2015, the company has appointed a vice president of client services, a senior vice president of business development, a senior vice president of product and strategy, an additional vice president of sales, a director of sales, a vice president of channel development, and a new CEO.
Net loss was $243,000 or $(0.01) per basic share, as compared to net income of $88,000 or $0.00 per share in the same year-ago quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.6 million at September 30, 2016, as compared to $7.6 million at June 30, 2016. The company continued to operate debt-free.
First Nine Months of 2016 Financial Summary
Net revenue in the first nine months of 2016 increased 5% to a record $5.5 million from $5.2 million in the same year-ago period.
Operating expenses increased to $4.1 million as compared to $2.7 million in the same year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to increased human resource costs and professional fees related to growth initiatives as described above.
Net loss totaled $1.2 million or $(0.04) per share, as compared to a loss of $180,000 or $(0.01) per basic share in the same year-ago period.
Management Commentary
“In Q3, we rebranded our company from one product to multiple services in and around point-of-care,” said OptimizeRx CEO William Febbo. “We rolled out new marketing materials to better represent our ability to provide not only financial messaging, but clinical messaging and brand support services. These tools will allow for more up-sell opportunities to existing clients. In addition, we continue to invest in our sales team as demonstrated by placing an account manager within one of the WPP companies to manage that relationship.”
“We recently expanded our partnership with Allscripts to increase and diversify our revenue base. In particular, we acquired all of their LogRx (messaging within EHR) inventory for the remainder of 2016 and 2017, which has the effect of making us their exclusive partner allowing us to sell the messaging solution and extend our point of care solutions that we bring to the medical community.”
“Looking ahead, we expect a resumption in top-line growth both sequentially and year-over-year in the current quarter, primarily driven by recommencing brands currently in ROI studies, signing new brands, as well as continued expansion of financial messaging, clinical messaging and brand support.”
