“In Q1-18, we continued the second half of our New Year’s Resolution Promotion strategy with an increased focus on driving utilization at the account level,” said Bill Plovanic, CFO. “Although first quarter revenues were slower than Q4-17, we were very pleased with the underlying metrics as we strive to build a sustainable business. New patient starts, the number of accounts treating, unique website visits and Find-A-Doctor searches grew meaningfully and were the highest level ever.”
