Third quarter financial results exceed previously announced guidance

GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDRX), a leading consumer-focused digital platform, has released its financial results for the third quarter of 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

Total revenue of $187.3 million, exceeding previously announced guidance
Net loss of $41.7¹ million; Net loss margin of 22.3%
Adjusted Net Income² of $29.9 million; Adjusted Net Income Margin² of 16.0%
Adjusted EBITDA² of $52.0 million; Adjusted EBITDA Margin² of 27.8%, exceeding previously announced guidance
Net cash provided by operating activities of $33.7 million
Over 865,000 prescribers active on GoodRx in the last 16 months³
Exited the quarter with over 7 million consumers of prescription-related offerings⁴

"We are pleased with the progress made in the third quarter despite near-term challenges," said Doug Hirsch, co-CEO and co-founder of GoodRx. "We achieved better-than-expected results and addressed the grocer issue in August. While we continued to see some impact from the grocer issue as we expected, the third quarter was highlighted by double-digit growth in our subscription and pharma manufacturer solutions platforms. Our retail and PBM partnerships remain resilient, and we expanded and enhanced our overall ecosystem this quarter while engaging more deeply with providers and consumers as we work to improve access to affordable healthcare."

"Looking ahead, we will continue to prioritize profitability and cash flow, while efficiently expanding our core platform capabilities to scale our business, strengthen our value proposition, and leverage our strong brand to reach more consumers. I am proud of the progress the GoodRx team made this quarter, and I look forward to improving upon it over the quarters to come as we further our mission while creating value for shareholders," concluded Hirsch.

¹Q3 ‘22 net loss was impacted by $29.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, $10.2 million of which related to the non-recurring co-CEOs' awards made in connection with our IPO.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Overview (all comparisons are made to the same period of the prior year unless otherwise noted):

Total revenue decreased 4% to $187.3 million compared to $195.1 million. Prescription transactions revenue (PTR) decreased 16% to $131.2 million compared to $155.7 million, primarily driven by a 9% decrease in Monthly Active Consumers and an ongoing shift in the volume of prescription transactions to other retailers that impacted pricing principally due to the sustained impact of the grocer issue. The estimated impact of the grocer issue on third quarter PTR was approximately $40 million. Subscription revenue increased 63% to $26.5 million compared to $16.2 million, primarily driven by an increase in monthly subscription fees for GoodRx Gold in the first half of 2022, partially offset by a 6% decrease in subscription plans. Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue⁵ increased 32% to $24.5 million compared to $18.5 million, driven primarily by deeper market penetration and contribution from vitaCare. Other revenue⁵ increased 10% to $5.2 million compared to $4.7 million, driven by an increase in the number of telehealth visits on the platform.

Cost of revenues increased to $17.4 million, or 9% of revenue, compared to $11.3 million, or 6% of revenue, driven by an increase in outsourced and in-house personnel related to consumer support and overhead costs due to the vitaCare acquisition in April 2022. Adjusted cost of revenues² increased to $17.1 million, or 9% of revenue, compared to $11.1 million, or 6% of revenue.

Product development and technology expenses remained relatively flat at $35.9 million, or 19% of revenue, compared to $35.1 million, or 18% of revenue, driven by higher headcount, and also costs arising from the reduction in force in August 2022, substantially offset by higher capitalization of costs related to software development due to greater investment in our products and reprioritization of development efforts that better align with our strategic goals and future scale. Adjusted product development and technology expenses² increased to $24.9 million, or 13% of revenue, compared to $23.2 million, or 12% of revenue.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $86.2 million, or 46% of revenue, compared to $95.7 million, or 49% of revenue, driven by a decrease in advertising and promotional expenses, partially offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses due to higher headcount, and also costs arising from the reduction in force in August 2022. Adjusted sales and marketing expenses² decreased to $78.7 million, or 42% of revenue, compared to $89.3 million, or 46% of revenue.

General and administrative expenses increased to $49.5 million, or 26% of revenue, compared to $35.9 million, or 18% of revenue, driven by a $16.6 million change in fair value of contingent consideration related to the vitaCare acquisition in April 2022 and an increase in payroll and related expenses due to higher headcount, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted general and administrative expenses² increased to $14.7 million, or 8% of revenue, compared to $9.7 million, or 5% of revenue.

Net loss was $41.7 million compared to a net loss of $18.1 million, due to the grocer issue and an increase in general and administrative expense related to a change in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the vitaCare acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and sales and marketing expense. Net loss margin was 22.3% compared to a net loss margin of 9.3%. The acquisition of vitaCare also had a negative impact on net loss and net loss margin this quarter. Adjusted Net Income² was $29.9 million compared to $39.7 million.

Adjusted EBITDA² was $52.0 million compared to $61.8 million, largely driven by the grocer issue, which materially impacted revenue growth, as well as adjusted costs and operating expenses, as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Margin² was 27.8% compared to 31.7%. The acquisition of vitaCare also had a negative impact on Adjusted EBITDA² and Adjusted EBITDA Margin² this quarter.

⁵Beginning in Q1 2022, pharma manufacturer solutions revenue is disclosed separately from other revenue, which now primarily consists of revenue generated from GoodRx Care. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities was $33.7 million compared to $48.6 million in the comparable period last year, which was comprised of a net loss of $41.7 million, adjusted primarily by stock-based compensation expense of $29.0 million, change in the fair value of contingent consideration related to vitaCare of $16.6 million and depreciation and amortization of $14.0 million, as well as working capital changes related to timing of payments for accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and in prepaid expenses and other assets. As of September 30, 2022, GoodRx had cash and cash equivalents of $728.8 million and total outstanding debt of $668.8 million.

GoodRx is focused on a disciplined approach to capital allocation, centered on furthering the company's mission and creating shareholder value. Capital allocation priorities are reinvesting in the business, maintaining a strong balance sheet, returning capital to shareholders via share repurchases, and evaluating acquisition opportunities that support the company's strategy. These priorities support GoodRx's long-term growth strategy while also providing flexibility to navigate near-term challenges.

Guidance

For the fourth quarter, management is anticipating the following:

$ in millions	4Q 2022	4Q 2021	YoY Change
Total Revenue	~$175-$180	$213.3	~(18%) - (16%)
Adjusted EBITDA Margin⁶	Low-to-mid-twenty-percent range

"Our focus on Adjusted EBITDA growth, margin improvement, and cash conversion remain our top priorities," said Karsten Voermann, Chief Financial Officer. "We are guiding to fourth quarter total revenue in the range of $175 million to $180 million, which includes a combined $45 million to $50 million estimated impact to prescription transactions revenue related to the previously disclosed grocer issue and our continued consumer engagement efforts. We expect Adjusted EBITDA Margins in the low-to-mid-twenty-percent range."

"During the third quarter we've taken actions in relation to our costs and expenses, and have reprioritized where and how much we spend across the business, with the objective of greater efficiency today and greater Adjusted EBITDA flow through as we grow. We generated strong cash flow in the quarter, and our balance sheet continues to be strong as we have consistently been in a net cash position. Our business model is resilient and provides us with flexibility across our capital allocation priorities. We believe we are well positioned to navigate near-term challenges while executing on our long-term strategy to drive our mission and create value for shareholders," concluded Voermann.

⁶Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only. We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to GAAP net loss or income margin, because we do not provide guidance for GAAP net loss or income margin due to the uncertainty and potential variability of stock-based compensation expense, acquired intangible assets and related amortization and income taxes, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA Margin and GAAP net loss or income margin. Because such items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure. However, such items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP net loss or income margin.

Key Operating Metrics

Monthly Active Consumers (MACs) refers to the number of unique consumers who have used a GoodRx code to purchase a prescription medication in a given calendar month and have saved money compared to the list price of the medication. A unique consumer who uses a GoodRx code more than once in a calendar month to purchase prescription medications is only counted as one Monthly Active Consumer in that month. A unique consumer who uses a GoodRx code in two or three calendar months within a quarter will be counted as a Monthly Active Consumer in each such month. Monthly Active Consumers do not include subscribers to our subscription offerings, consumers of our pharma manufacturer solutions offering, or consumers who use our telehealth offerings. When presented for a period longer than a month, Monthly Active Consumers are averaged over the number of calendar months in such period. Monthly Active Consumers from acquired companies are only included beginning in the first full quarter following the acquisition. RxSaver Monthly Active Consumers have been included as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2021, and are estimated due to incomplete consumer information.

Subscription plans represent the ending subscription plan balance across both of our subscription offerings, GoodRx Gold and Kroger Savings Club. Each subscription plan may represent more than one subscriber since family subscription plans may include multiple members.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Margin, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Operating Income are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We also present each cost and operating expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations on an adjusted basis. Collectively, we refer to these non-GAAP financial measures as our "Non-GAAP Measures."

We define Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and as further adjusted for, as applicable for the periods presented, acquisition related expenses, cash bonuses to vested option holders, stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, financing related expenses, loss on abandonment and impairment of operating lease assets, restructuring related expenses, legal settlement expenses, charitable stock donation and other income or expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

We define Adjusted Net Income for a particular period as net income or loss adjusted for, as applicable for the periods presented, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, financing related expenses, loss on abandonment and impairment of operating lease assets, restructuring related expenses, legal settlement expenses, charitable stock donation, and as further adjusted for estimated income tax on such adjusted items. Adjusted income taxes in interim periods is determined by applying an adjusted estimated annual effective income tax rate to interim non-GAAP adjusted income before income taxes and including the tax effect of certain discrete items recognized during the period. Our adjusted estimated annual effective income tax rate is based on our full-year estimate of non-GAAP adjusted income before income taxes. Our adjusted taxes also excludes (i) the valuation allowance recorded against certain of our net deferred tax assets that was recognized in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all tax benefits/expenses resulting from excess tax benefits/deficiencies in connection with stock-based compensation. Adjusted Net Income Margin represents Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS) is Adjusted Net Income attributable to common stockholders divided by weighted average number of shares. The weighted average shares we use in computing Adjusted Earnings Per Share – basic is equal to our GAAP weighted average shares – basic and the weighted average shares we use in computing Adjusted Earnings Per Share – diluted is equal to either GAAP weighted average shares – basic or GAAP weighted average shares – diluted, depending on whether we have adjusted net loss or adjusted net income, respectively.

We also assess our performance by evaluating each cost and operating expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations on a non-GAAP, or adjusted, basis to arrive at Adjusted Operating Income. The adjustments to these cost and operating expense items include, as applicable for the periods presented, acquisition related expenses, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, financing related expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring related expenses, legal settlement expenses, loss on abandonment and impairment of operating lease assets and charitable stock donation. Adjusted Operating Income is GAAP revenue less non-GAAP operating expenses.

We believe our Non-GAAP Measures are helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties because they assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are also key measures we use to assess our financial performance and are also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate and assess performance.

The Non-GAAP Measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as alternatives or substitutes to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net (loss) income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA, and presents net (loss) income margin, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
