NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include OptimizeRx Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
We are a digital healthcare technology company that connects over two million HCPs and millions of their patients through an intelligent technology platform embedded within a proprietary omnichannel network. OptimizeRx helps life science organizations engage and support their customers through our combined HCP and DTC marketing strategies.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2025, and our results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. We operate a single reporting segment and, accordingly, use our consolidated net income as our measure of profit and loss and it is not presented separately here.
Certain information and note disclosures, including a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025 (“Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Segment Reporting
We operate in one reportable segment and use consolidated net income as our measure of segment profit and loss. Overall, our business involves connecting life science companies to patients and providers. We have a common customer base of life sciences customers geographically located in the U.S. for all of our solutions, which primarily focus on all communications between our life sciences customers and with healthcare providers or patients. We do not prepare separate internal income statements by solution as our focus is on selling enterprise arrangements covering multiple solutions that span the entire patient journey with a specific brand.
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the operating segment level. The CODM assesses performance for the operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that is also reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as consolidated net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets.
The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) to evaluate income generated in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or to use such profits for other purposes, such as for acquisitions or share repurchases. Consolidated net income (loss) is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses consolidated net income (loss) in competitive analyses by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budget versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment, and in establishing management and variable compensation. The CODM also regularly reviews the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for segment expenses, of which the significant expenses are related to cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, and operating expenses. Since we operate as one reportable segment, all required segment financial information is found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the disclosure requirements around fair value establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs, which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The Company’s stock options and warrants are valued using Level 3 inputs.
The Company's carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The prescribed categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion. This authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash comprised of investments in AAA rated money market funds that invest in first-tier only securities, which primarily include domestic commercial paper and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. We account for marketable equity securities in accordance with ASC 321-10, “Investments - Equity Securities”, as the shares have a readily determinable fair value quoted on the national stock exchange and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have recorded $8,391 and $8,300, respectively, of money market funds at approximate fair value.

NOTE 4 - CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS
The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with software development for internal-use software platforms used in operations and for providing services to our customers. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once software has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized internal use software development costs are included in intangible assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software platforms and are included in depreciation and amortization within operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of capitalized internal use software expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $91 and $71, respectively. The Company accumulates capitalizable costs related to current projects in a construction in process (“CIP”) software account, the balance of which was $378 and $320 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt, net comprised of the following at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | | | | |
Term loan, due in 2027 | $ | 33,790 | | | $ | 34,290 | | | | | |
Less: current portion of long-term debt | (3,300) | | | (2,000) | | | | | |
Less: unamortized issuance costs | (1,300) | | | (1,474) | | | | | |
Long-term debt, net | $ | 29,190 | | | $ | 30,816 | | | | | |
On October 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) which provided for a term loan (the “Term Loan”) of $40 million, the net proceeds of which were used to partially finance the Medicx Health transaction. In connection with the Term Loan the Company incurred issuance costs of approximately $2,270, which were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Term Loan. Amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $174 and $182, respectively.
The Company’s obligations under the Term Loan are secured by all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets (including a pledge of all of the capital stock and equity interests of its subsidiaries).
The Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, beginning December 31, 2023, in an amount equivalent to 1.25%, of the original principal amount. The outstanding unpaid principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary of the closing date of the Term Loan or (ii) the date on which the Term Loan is declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement.
The Company may prepay, subject to an Applicable Premium, 3% if the prepayment is made on a date that is up to and including the first anniversary of closing, 2%, if the prepayment is made up to and including the second anniversary, 1% if the prepayment is made up to and including the third anniversary and zero thereafter, all or a portion of the Term Loan and, under certain circumstances, including certain asset disposals and the raising of indebtedness not permitted under the Term Loan is required to make mandatory prepayments of the principal balance. If the prepayment occurs within 12 months of the date of the loan, the Company is also required to pay lost interest from the prepayment date to one year from the loan funding date.
In addition, the Company is required to make a mandatory prepayment on March 31, of each year, commencing with 2025, equivalent to Excess Cash Flow multiplied by a percentage factor of 25%, if the leverage ratio is 3.60 to 1.00 or less, 50% if the leverage ratio is greater than 3.60 to 1.00 or less than or equal; to 4.10 to 1.00 and 75%, if the leverage ratio is greater than 4.10 to 1.00. Excess Cash Flow is defined in the Financing Agreement as Consolidated EBITDA for the previous fiscal year less scheduled principal and interest payments, capital expenditure, cash taxes and any cash expenses/gains

added back to net income in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted for any increase/decrease in working capital during the fiscal year.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company made total principal repayments of $0.5 million.
At the Company’s option the Term Loan, or any portion thereof bears interest at either:
a.The greater of (a) 4.00% per annum, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% per annum, (c) the one month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus an adjustment of 26.161 basis point and 1.00% per annum, and (d) the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate”, plus an Applicable Margin of 7.5%; or
b.Three-month SOFR plus an adjustment of 26.161 basis points and an Applicable Margin of 8.5%
As of March 31, 2025, the Term Loan bears interest at 13.1%, with an effective interest rate of 15.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, including the impact of the amortization of debt issuance costs.
The Term Loan requires the Company to maintain certain maximum leverage ratios and Liquidity (as defined in the Financing Agreement), of at least $5.0 million.
The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of March 31, 2025.
The Term Loan contains customary events of default, which include, (subject to, in certain circumstances to grace and cure periods), non-payment of principal and interest, non-compliance with certain covenants, commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and a change in control.

Treasury Stock
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Board authorized a share repurchase program, under which the Company could repurchase up to $15.0 million of its outstanding common stock. This stock repurchase authorization expired on March 12, 2024.
During each of the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any of its outstanding shares of common stock.
NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company sponsors two stock-based incentive compensation plans.
The first plan is known as the 2013 Plan and was established by the Board of Directors of the Company in June 2013. The 2013 Plan, as amended, authorized the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock. The amended plan was approved by stockholders. In connection with the adoption of a new plan in 2021, the Company froze the 2013 Plan. A total of 191,845 shares of common stock underlying options and 4,000 shares of common stock underlying restricted stock unit awards were outstanding at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, there were no shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan.
In 2021, the Company adopted a new plan known as the 2021 Plan. The plan was established by the Board of Directors and approved by stockholders in August 2021. On June 5, 2024, at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for awards under the 2021 Plan by 1,950,000 shares for a total of 4,450,000 shares. A total of 1,500,037 shares of common stock underlying options and 614,465 shares of common stock underlying restricted stock unit awards were outstanding at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, 1,183,398 shares were available for grant under the 2021 Plan.
Stock Options
The compensation expense that has been charged against income related to options for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $579 and $1,353, respectively. There is $2,897 of remaining expense related to unvested options to be recognized in the future over a weighted average period of 2 years. The total intrinsic value of outstanding options at March 31, 2025 was $2,394. The fair value of these instruments was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
During 2022, the Company granted certain performance-based stock options, the expense for which will be recorded over time once the achievement of the performance is deemed probable. There was $8 in expense related to these options recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. There was no expense related to these options for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company recorded $979 and $1,671 in compensation expense related to restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. A total of $3,996 remains to be recognized at March 31, 2025 over a weighted average period of 1.81 years.
During 2022, the Company granted certain performance-based restricted stock units, the expense for which will be recorded over time once the achievement of the performance is deemed probable.

NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
Non-employee Directors Compensation
The director's compensation program calls for the grant of restricted stock units with a one year vesting period. There was $173 and $199 included in the compensation expense discussed above related to director's compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Equity Award Modification
On April 16, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a grant to the Company’s then CEO of 86,685 restricted stock units and 161,698 stock options with a grant date fair value of $2,500 to vest over a three year period. Concurrently, the then CEO forfeited his October 2021 grant of 182,398 market-based restricted stock units. The forfeiture and accompanying grant were considered an equity modification according to ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The additional compensation value created by the termination and issuance of new equity awarded, as measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, was approximately $1,900 in total. Under ASC 718 this results in a non-cash expense in current and future periods to be recognized over a three-year period. These expense values are reflected and included in the option and restricted stock expense values discussed above. At December 31, 2024, the remaining expense of $1,556 related to the October 2021 grant of market-based restricted stock units was accelerated upon the departure of the CEO. The expense for unvested stock-options and restricted stock units related to the April 2023 grant was reversed.
NOTE 9 – REVENUES
Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, recognition of revenue requires evidence of a contract, probable collection of proceeds, and completion of substantially all performance obligations. We use a 5-step model to recognize revenue. These steps are: identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenues are primarily generated from content delivery activities in which the Company delivers financial, clinical, or brand messaging through a distribution network of ePrescribers and electronic health record technology providers (channel partners), directly to consumers, or from reselling services that complement the business. This content delivery for a customer is referred to as a program. Unless otherwise specified, revenue is recognized based on the selling price to customers. The Company also generates revenue through data subscriptions. Data subscriptions can be contracted on a stand alone basis or as a complement to content delivery. Additional services include set up, and reporting. We consider these services to be complimentary to the primary performance obligation and recognized through performance of delivery of content or data.
We have certain contracts which are satisfied at a point in time, primarily for consulting projects or NPI data target lists. For such contracts, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the related data, study or report.
The Company’s contracts are generally all less than one year and the primary performance obligation is delivery of messages, or our forms of content, but the contract may contain additional services. The net contract balance for contracts in progress at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $35,342 and $4,288, respectively. The outstanding performance obligations are expected to be satisfied during the year ending December 31, 2025.
In certain circumstances, the Company will offer sales rebates to customers based on spend volume. Rebates are typically contracted based on a quarterly or annual spend amount based on a volume threshold or tiered model. At the beginning of the year, the rebate percentage is estimated based on input from the sales team and analysis of prior year sales. Thereafter, the open contract balance for the customer is assessed quarterly to ensure the estimated rebate percentage being used for the rebate accrual remains reasonable. The estimated amount of variable consideration will be included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. For the year ended

NOTE 9 - REVENUES (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2024 and during the first three months of 2025, there were two contracts with customers that included a rebate clause.
As the content is distributed through the platform and network of channel partners (a transaction), these transactions are recorded, and revenue is recognized over time as the distributions occur. Revenue for transactions can be realized based on a price per message, a price per redemption, as a flat fee occurring over a period of time, or upon completion of the program, depending on the client contract. The Company recognizes setup fees that are required for integrating client offerings and campaigns into the rule-based content delivery system and network over the life of the initial program, based either on time, or units delivered, depending upon which is most appropriate in the specific contract. Should a program be cancelled before completion, the balance of set up revenue is recognized at the time of cancellation, as set up fees are nonrefundable. Additionally, the Company also recognizes revenue for providing program performance reporting and maintenance. This reporting revenue is recognized over time as the messages are delivered. Program design, which is the design of the content delivery program, and related consulting services are recognized as services are performed.
In some instances, we license certain of our software applications in arrangements that do not include other performance obligations. In those instances, we record license revenue when the software is delivered for use to the licensee. In instances where our contracts included Software as a Service, the revenue is recognized over the subscription period as services are delivered to the customer.
In some instances, the Company also resells messaging solutions that are available through channel partners that are complementary to the HCP marketing business and customer base. These partner specific solutions are frequently similar to our own solutions and revenue recognition for these programs is the same as described above. In instances where the Company sells solutions on a commission basis, net revenue is recognized based on the commission-based revenue split that the Company receives. In instances where the Company resells these messaging solutions and has all financial risk and significant operation input and risk, the Company records the revenue based on the gross amount sold and the amount paid to the channel partner as a cost of sales. The amount of revenue recognized as an agent on a net basis was $3,373 and $2,625 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
The Company has several signed contracts with customers for the distribution of messaging, or other services, which include payment in advance. The payments are not recorded as revenue until the revenue is earned under our revenue recognition policy. Deferred revenue was $511 and $473 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The contracts are all short term in nature and all revenue is expected to be recognized within 12 months, or less. The following is a summary of activity for the deferred revenue account:

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for credit losses, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company does not seek collateral to secure its accounts receivable and amounts billed are generally due within a short period of time based on terms and conditions normal for our industry. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for credit losses. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. If current or expected future economic trends, events, or changes in circumstances indicate that specific receivable balances may be impaired, further consideration is given to the collectability of those balances and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. Past-due receivable balances are written off when the Company’s collection efforts have been exhausted.
The following is a summary of changes in the allowance for credit losses for the:

From time to time, we may record revenue based on our revenue recognition policies in advance of being able to invoice the customer, or we may invoice the customer prior to being able to recognize the revenue. Included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts of $4,240 and $3,241 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are presented as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Related Party Transactions
Related party transactions include transactions between the Company and its stockholders, management, or affiliates. The following transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured and recorded at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company acquired the technical contributions and assignment of all exclusive rights to and for a key patent in process at the time from a former CEO, in exchange for a total payment in shares of common stock and options valued at $930 at the time of the acquisition and recorded the patent at that cost. That patent remains in Patents Rights on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

contracts engaged with Eversana. These contracts were sourced by Eversana on behalf of life science customers of theirs. The contracts are at market rates and were generated in the normal course of business.
NOTE 10 – LOSS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The number of shares related to options and restricted stock units included in diluted EPS is based on the “Treasury Stock Method” prescribed in ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share. This method assumes the theoretical repurchase of shares using proceeds of the respective stock options exercised, and for restricted stock units, the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services which have not yet been recognized, and the amount of current and deferred tax benefit, if any, that would be credited to additional paid in capital upon the vesting of the restricted stock units, at a price equal to the issuer’s average stock price during the related earnings period. Accordingly, the number of shares that could be included in the calculation of EPS in respect of the stock options and restricted stock units is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share.

course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material legal or administrative proceedings against us.
Commitments
From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements with partners to acquire minimum amounts of media, data or messaging capabilities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had commitments for future minimum payments of $16.6 million that will be reflected in cost of revenues during the years from 2025 through 2029. Minimum payments are due in the remainder of 2025 and fiscal 2026 and 2027 in the amounts of $10.9 million, $4.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
The Company reported a benefit from income taxes of $1,085 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an effective tax rate of 33.0%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects the impact of certain permanent items and discrete items for the quarter related to projected decreases in our valuation allowance and to stock based compensation. There was no provision for or benefit from taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2025 in the jurisdictions of Croatia and Israel, as the Company carried a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets due to our history of losses.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. On the basis of this evaluation, as of the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the valuation allowance has been reduced to $2.9 million to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.
The Company reported a provision for income taxes of $344 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an effective tax rate of 5.2%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflects the impact of certain permanent items, projected increases in our valuation allowance during the year and discrete items for the quarter related to stock based compensation.
As discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $11.6 million as of December 31, 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our strategies, outlook, business and financial prospects, business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Although OptimizeRx believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these expectations may not be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond OptimizeRx’s control.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including: our history of losses, seasonal trends in the pharmaceutical brand marketing industry; the inability to support our technology and scale our operations successfully, developing and implementing new and updated applications, features and services for our solutions may be more difficult and expensive and take longer than expected; the inability to offer high-quality customer support for our solutions; dependence on a concentrated group of customers; inability to maintain contracts with electronic prescription platforms and electronic health record systems, agreements with electronic prescription platforms and electronic health record systems being subject to audit; inability to attract and retain customers; inability to comply with laws and regulations that affect the healthcare industry; competition; developments in the healthcare industry; inability to manage growth; inability to identify suitable acquisition targets, complete acquisitions, or integrate acquisitions successfully; acquisition activities may disrupt ongoing business and may involve increased expenses; inability to realize the financial and strategic goals contemplated at the time of a transaction; inability to realize any synergies or other anticipated benefits of an acquisition or that such synergies or benefits may take longer than anticipated to be realized; risk that the integration with an acquired entity may be more costly or difficult than expected; impairment charges for goodwill or other long-lived assets may need to be recognized or increased if we lose a major customer, experience a decline in our common stock price, or experience changes to the regulatory environment affecting pharmaceutical advertising restricting the use of our technology; inability to comply with the restrictions in our credit agreement; inability to generate sufficient cash to service debt and fund other obligations; inability to raise capital to grow business on favorable terms or at all; inability to attract and retain senior management and other key employees; economic, political, regulatory and other risks arising from our international operations; inability to protect our intellectual property; cybersecurity incidents; reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure; increases in costs due to inflation and other adverse economic conditions; decreases in customer demand due to macroeconomic factors; lack of a consistent active trading market for our common stock; volatility in the market price of our common stock; and the failure to remediate the identified material weakness or any other material weaknesses identified in the future.
The risks and uncertainties included here are not exhaustive. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors.
Further, it is not possible to assess the effect of all risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report.
Overview
OptimizeRx is a digital healthcare technology company that connects over two million HCPs and millions of their patients through an intelligent technology platform embedded within a proprietary omnichannel network. OptimizeRx helps life sciences organizations engage and support their customers through our combined HCP and DTC marketing strategies.
OptimizeRx has historically generated revenue by delivering messages to HCPs via their EHR systems and eRx platforms using our proprietary network of channel partners. We have gradually expanded our offerings to include audience development, audience creation, and media execution across different messaging types and media distribution channels.
Overall, we employ a “land and expand” strategy focused on growing our existing customer base and generating greater and more consistent revenues in part through a continued shift in our business model toward enterprise level engagements, while also broadening our platform with innovative proprietary virtual communication solutions such as our patented Micro-Neighborhood Targeting and our AI-powered DAAP, which uses sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to find the best audiences in the correct channels at the right time.
Our strategy for driving revenue growth is also expected to work in tandem with our efforts to increase margin and profitability as revenue drivers such as DAAP have inherently higher margins than most other messaging solutions we offer. In addition, by aiming to transition our DAAP customers to a more predictable subscription-based model for data services, we believe will further improve margins, increase visibility, and enhance the overall predictability of our revenue streams over time.
Customer Concentration
Because the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by large companies with multiple brands, our revenue is concentrated in a relatively small number of companies. We have approximately 100 pharmaceutical companies as customers, and our revenues are concentrated among the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Loss of one or more of our larger customers could have a negative impact on our operating results. Our top five customers represented approximately 49% and 44% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In 2024 and 2023, we had two customers and one customer, respectively, that represented more than 10% of our revenues.
Seasonality
In general, the pharmaceutical brand marketing industry spends its advertising budget seasonally. Many pharmaceutical companies allocate the largest portion of their brand marketing to the fourth quarter of the calendar year. As a result, the first quarter tends to reflect lower activity levels and lower revenue, with gradual increases in the following quarters. We expect these seasonality trends to continue and our ability to effectively manage our resources in anticipation of these trends may affect our operating results.
Impact of Macroeconomic Events
Unfavorable conditions in the economy may negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic events including rising inflation and the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates have led to economic uncertainty in the recent past, and threats of multinational tariffs and retaliatory tariffs provide uncertainty as to heightened inflation in the domestic markets in the next twelve months. In addition, high levels of employee turnover across the pharmaceutical industry as well as a fewer number of U.S. drug approvals could create additional uncertainty within our target customer markets. Historically, during periods of economic uncertainty and downturns, businesses may slow spending, which may impact our business and our customers’ businesses. Adverse changes in demand could impact our business, collection of accounts receivable and our expected cash flow generation, which may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Key Performance Indicators
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and make strategic decisions. We have updated the definition of “top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers” in our key performance indicators to be based upon Fierce Pharma's most updated list of “The top 20 pharma companies by 2024 revenue”. We previously used “The top 20 pharma companies by 2023 revenue”. As a result of this change, prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes.
Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer. Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer is calculated by taking the total revenue the Company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2024 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by 20, representing the aforementioned pharmaceutical manufacturers highlighted on that list. The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical and believe it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment. The increase in the average in the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, is primarily the result of stronger DTC and DAAP related revenue streams (in thousands).

Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer | $ | 2,960 | | | $ | 2,592 | |
Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers. Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers is calculated by taking the total revenue the company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2024 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by our consolidated revenue over the same period. The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical and believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment. This decrease in our total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers, in conjunction with the increase in average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer discussed above, is reflective of the onboarding and growth of other customers that are not top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers and not a decrease in our activity with top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Net revenue retention. Net revenue retention is a comparison of revenue generated from all customers in the previous twelve-month period to total revenue generated from the same customers in the following twelve-month period (i.e., excludes new customer relationships for the most recent twelve-month period). The Company uses this metric to monitor its ability to improve its penetration with existing customers and believes it also provides investors with a metric to chart our ability to increase our year-over-year penetration and revenue with existing customers. Net revenue retention for the period ending March 31, 2024, benefited from revenue related to the acquisition of Medicx Health, as the acquisition was not consummated during the prior year period. This benefit did not exist in the period ending March 31, 2025 which made for a more challenging year over year comparison.

Net revenue retention | 114 | % | | 116 | % |
Revenue per average full-time employee. We define revenue per average full-time employee (“FTE”), as total revenue over the last twelve months divided by the average number of employees over the last twelve months (i.e., the average between the number of FTEs at the end of the reported period and the number of FTEs at the end of the same period of the prior year). The Company uses this metric to monitor the productivity of its workforce and its ability to scale efficiently over time and believes the metric provides investors with a way to chart our productivity and scalability. Our revenue rate
per employee increased year over year due to revenue growing at a higher rate than the average number of FTEs over the last 12 month period (in thousands).

Net Revenues
Our net revenue increased 11% to $21,928 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $19,690 from the same period in 2024. The increase in net revenue was a result of the growth of DTC and DAAP related sales.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues, composed primarily of revenue-share expense paid to our channel partners increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $8,584 compared to $7,486 for the same period of 2024. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased to approximately 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from approximately 38% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was a primarily result of solution and channel partner mix.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin, which is the difference between our revenues and our cost of revenues, divided by our revenues, decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024, primarily due to product and channel partner mix.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased to approximately $15,458 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from approximately $17,233 for the same period in 2024, a decrease of approximately 10%. The detail by major category is reflected in the next table (in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | | | |
Stock-based compensation | $ | 1,558 | | $ | 3,024 | | | | |
Depreciation and amortization | 1,094 | | | 1,067 | | | | | |
Other general and administrative expenses | 12,806 | | | 13,142 | | | | | |
Total operating expense | $ | 15,458 | | | $ | 17,233 | | | | | |
Stock-based compensation decreased to $1,558 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $3,024 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was a result of the lower grant date fair value of awards due to declines in the Company’s stock price as well as a decrease in the quantity of awards vesting.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $1,094 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1,067 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was a result of the additional amortization associated with capitalized labor for internal software development.
Other general and administrative expenses decreased to $12,806 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $13,142 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease is primarily a result of a decrease of $297 in integration incentives costs.
Other income (expense)
Interest expense decreased to $1,297 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1,546 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and represents interest charges on our Term Loan, together with the amortization of the related issuance costs. The decrease is primarily a result of the decrease in the interest rate on the Term Loan and a lower average principal balance for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Interest income increased to $88 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $20 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was a result of higher interest rates in our money market fund compared to the same period in 2024.
Income tax benefit (expense)
Income tax benefit was approximately $1,085, or an effective rate of 33.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Income tax expense was approximately $344, or an effective rate of 5.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For further information, see Part I, Item I. Financial Statements; Note 12 — Income Taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net income (loss)
We had a net loss of approximately $(2,199) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to a net loss of approximately $(6,899) during the same period in 2024. The reasons and specific components associated with the change are discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash receipts from customers and proceeds from equity offerings. In addition, on October 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Term loan of $40.0 million in order to partially fund the acquisition of Medicx Health. As of March 31, 2025, the total principal balance outstanding on the Term loan was approximately $33.8 million and we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Term loan.
As of March 31, 2025, we had total current assets of approximately $51.7 million, compared with current liabilities of approximately $18.4 million, resulting in working capital of approximately $33.3 million and a current ratio of approximately 2.8 to 1. This represents a decrease from our working capital of approximately $35.3 million and an increase from the current ratio of 3.0 to 1 at December 31, 2024.
We believe that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash, will be sufficient to finance our current operations and meet our obligations under the Term loan for the next twelve (12) months. In addition, we believe we can generate the cash needed to operate beyond the next 12 months from operations. However, we may seek additional debt, equity financing, or lines of credit to supplement cash from operations to fund acquisitions or strategic partner relationships, make capital expenditures, and satisfy working capital needs.
Cash Flows
Following is a table with summary data from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as presented (in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2025 | | 2024 |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 3,864 | | | $ | 2,118 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | (84) | | | (153) | |
Net cash used in financing activities | (587) | | | (640) | |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 3,193 | | | $ | 1,325 | |
Our operating activities provided $3,864 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $2,118 in the same period in 2024. The net increase in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly attributable to a $4,700 decrease in net loss. This was partially offset by a $1,466 decrease in noncash expense related to stock based compensation, a $881 decrease in cash flows from accounts receivable and a $754 decrease in cash flows from taxes receivable and payable.
Investing activities used $84 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $153 in the same period in 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was mainly attributed to capitalization of internally developed software.
Financing activities used $587 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $640 in the same period in 2024. The decrease in net cash used for financing activities was primarily related to the decrease in payments of withholding taxes on behalf of employees vesting in restricted stock units.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the allowance for credit losses, carrying value of assets, fair values assigned to acquired long-lived assets, depreciable and amortizable lives of tangible and intangible assets, the carrying value of liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the timing of revenue recognition and related revenue-share expenses, and inputs used in the calculation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The accounting policies we used in preparing these financial statements are substantially consistent with those we applied in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our critical accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more
transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The prescribed categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion. This authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements with channel partners to acquire minimum amounts of media, data or messaging capabilities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had commitments with channel partners for future minimum payments of $16.6 million that will be reflected in cost of revenues during the remainder of 2025 and years from 2026 through 2029. See Part I, Item 2. Financial Statements; Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e), were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a previously identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to controls to ensure that data received from third-party service organizations were complete and accurate.
To address the material weakness referenced above, the Company performed additional analysis and performed other procedures in order to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Ongoing Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness
As previously disclosed, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting was identified which related to controls to ensure that data received from third-party service organizations were complete and accurate.
Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, is committed to remediating the material weakness that has been identified and maintaining an effective system of disclosure controls and procedures. These remediation efforts, summarized below, are intended to both address the identified material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment. Management is in the process of fully implementing process and control improvements to address the above material weakness previously identified as follows:
a.The Company requires each third-party service organization to provide us, at least annually, a SOC-1 Type 2 report, with adequate controls to ensure the data we receive are complete and accurate. We rely upon a SOC-1 Type 2 report from the service organizations attesting to the vendor’s internal controls.
b.If a SOC-1 Type 2 report is not available, the Company evaluates each third-party’s relevant system(s) and control environment reporting directly through inquiry and substantive testing of such third-party’s control environment to ensure the data we receive are complete and accurate.
c.If we are unable to obtain a valid SOC-1 Type 2 report or perform substantive testing of such third-party’s control environment, the Company implements a thirty-party qualification and program triaging process, which could include modifying customer contracts, limiting the volume of activity with those third-parties, and establishing other controls to ensure the completeness and accuracy of information received from those third-parties, such as performing tagging procedures where possible.
To further execute on its remediation efforts of the material weakness, management took the following additional steps:
a. Hired a Senior Vice President of internal controls and engaged a third-party consulting firm.
b. Developed a framework to assess whether data received from third-party service organizations were complete and accurate.
The material weakness will be considered remediated when management concludes that, through testing, the applicable remedial controls are designed and implemented effectively.
When fully implemented and operational, we believe the measures described above will remediate the material weakness we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness will not be considered remediated until the newly implemented internal controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these internal controls are operating effectively. We are working to have the material weakness remediated as soon as possible.
We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review and assess our financial reporting controls and procedures on an ongoing basis. As we continue to evaluate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, our management may determine whether it is appropriate or necessary to take additional measures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as noted above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
