Will Febbo, OptimizeRx CEO commented, “We are seeing significant momentum off the mid-year trough, and are confident that we are gaining traction across our business in particular with our Real World Evidence (RWE) solutions. RWE is an important growth driver, and we believe it aligns well with digital trends across the life sciences industry including pharma manufacturers moving a greater percentage of their commercial spend towards omni-channel digital solutions. We believe smarter solutions - such as OptimizeRx’s RWE - will capture the lion’s share of the pharma legacy commercial dollars that are reallocated to digital. We believe executing on just the RWE opportunities we have in front of us today could position us to grow our topline by over 20% next year."

Definition and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes a presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share or non-GAAP EPS, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company defines non-GAAP net income as GAAP net income (loss) with an adjustment to add back depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, income or loss related to the fair value of contingent consideration, and deferred income taxes. Non-GAAP EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the number of weighted average shares outstanding on a 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 cash flow 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 exclude 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 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 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 not 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 below, provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Definition of Key Performance Indicators*
Top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers: Top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers are based on Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2020 revenue.”

Net revenue retention: Net revenue retention is a comparison of revenue generated from all clients in the previous period to total revenue generated from the same clients in the following year (i.e., excludes new client relationships for the most recent year).

Revenue per average Full Time Employee: We define revenue per average full-time employee (FTE) as total revenue over the last 12 months (LTM) divided by the average number of employees over the LTM, which is calculated by taking our total number of FTEs at the end of the prior year period by our total FTE headcount at the end of the most recent.
