ROCHESTER, Mich., Aug. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptimizeRx Corp. (NASDAQ: OPRX), a leading provider of digital health messaging for the pharmaceutical industry, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. Quarterly comparisons are to the same year-ago quarter.
Q2 2019 Financial and Operational Highlights
- Total revenue increased 37% to a record $7.0 million.
- Gross margin improved from 56.1% to 61.6%.
- Net income totaled a record $407,000, up 45%.
- Non-GAAP net income up 39% to $1.2 million or $0.09 per diluted share (see definition of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation to GAAP, below).
- Raised net proceeds of $21.3 million in an underwritten public offering to solidify balance sheet and to provide growth capital for potential acquisitions.
- Expanded team to support growth, including adding a new chief commercial officer, a VP of sales to focus on the hospital market, and three additional VPs of sales to call on pharma.
Q2 2019 Financial Summary
Total revenue in the second quarter of 2019 increased 37% to a record $7.0 million from $5.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of messaging products.
Gross margin improved to 61.6% in the second quarter of 2019 from 56.1% in the year-ago quarter. The improvement was due to a favorable shift in product mix. The company expects to maintain gross margins of at least 60% on a quarterly basis for the remainder of 2019.
Operating expenses totaled $3.8 million, up from $2.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was related to additional expenses from growth initiatives, as well as the acquisition of CareSpeak Communications which occurred in October 2018.
Net income on a GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2019 was a record $407,000 or $0.03 per share, as compared to net income of $281,000 or $0.02 per share in the year-ago quarter.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2019 was up 39% to $1.2 million or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $852,000 or $0.07 per share in the same year-ago period (see definition of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliation to GAAP, below).
While the company expects to remain GAAP profitable on a quarterly basis, one-time expenses related to investments in growth initiatives could result in a loss in any given quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $30.5 million at June 30, 2019, as compared to $10.1 million at March 31, 2019. The increase was due to cash generated from operations and an underwritten public offering that raised net proceeds of $21.3 million. The company has continued to operate debt-free and expects to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations on a quarterly basis for the balance of the year.
Management Commentary
“In Q2, we achieved record top and bottom-line results, along with strong gross margin expansion versus the year-ago quarter,” said OptimizeRx CEO, William Febbo. “In fact, it was our ninth straight quarter of revenue growth.
“This performance was driven by several factors, including greater client access and broader provider reach, with this driven by solid technology and strong operational performance. While our revenue is at an all-time high and we are now connected to many manufacturers, our penetration of this market is still at the early stages in many respects.
“We estimate our addressable market opportunity with our traditional network is about $700 million, assuming we had all our all channel partners enabled across all of our solutions. However, since the beginning of the year, we have substantially expanded our total addressable market by adding patient adherence to our solution set. So, we are now able to go after a much larger HCP messaging market estimated at more than $2.4 billion. This focus on adherence also aligns with our passion for helping healthcare providers create better outcomes for their patients.
“To more effectively support greater adherence and deliver financial solutions, we are in the process of integrating our core set of digital solutions into a single platform and adding additional capabilities. We anticipate this new platform to be launched within the next couple of weeks and this will set the stage for continued growth in 2020 and beyond.
“For the remainder of the year, we'll remain focused on generating revenue growth from our core solutions, expanding our network in the hospital market, and seeking solid M&A and partnership opportunities to drive revenue. We expect continued adoption of our health platform across our entire client base, and for this to drive another year of growth, strong margins and profitability.”

Definition and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes a presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings 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 and stock-based compensation expense. 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 cashflow 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 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 at the end of this press release provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP EPS for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2019.
