WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptimizeRx Corp. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPRX), a leading provider of healthcare technology solutions helping life sciences companies reach and engage healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients, today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Financial Highlights
- Revenue decreased 30% to $20.5 million in Q2 2026, compared to $29.2 million in Q2 2025.
- GAAP net loss of $(0.7) million or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share in Q2 2026, compared to GAAP net income of $1.5 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, in Q2 2025.
- Non-GAAP net income of $3.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in Q2 2026, compared to Non-GAAP net income of $3.7 million or $0.19 per diluted share, in Q2 2025. (See *Non-GAAP Measures below)
- Adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million in Q2 2026 compared to $5.8 million in Q2 2025. (See *Non-GAAP Measures below)
- Cash and cash equivalents of $24.1 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $23.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
Stephen L. Silvestro, OptimizeRx CEO commented, “Second quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA both exceeded consensus expectations, reflecting continued margin expansion, disciplined execution, and resilience in our operating model. While year-over-year revenue declined and contracted revenue remains below prior-year levels, these trends are concentrated among a small number of customers, and we are encouraged by increased investment across other portions of our customer base. Our continued investment in platform capabilities, including recent product launches and expanded programmatic initiatives, is strengthening customer engagement as we move into the 2027 planning cycle. Despite some variability in second-half timing and mix, our first-half performance and commercial momentum give us confidence to reiterate full-year 2026 guidance of $95 million to $100 million in revenue and $21 million to $25 million in adjusted EBITDA. We also expanded the long-term opportunity for OptimizeRx through three platform advancements: DeepIntent became the first healthcare demand-side platform (DSP) to integrate our authenticated electronic health record (EHR) network, we launched our patent-pending Natural Language Audience Builder, and we introduced CopayCue, our next-generation copay activation solution. These innovations strengthen our position in artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled audience intelligence, programmatic point-of-care activation, and clinical workflow engagement while creating opportunities for recurring growth.
“Finally, we continued to strengthen our balance sheet by paying down $5.3 million of term loan principal during the quarter—$5.0 million ahead of schedule—and an additional $3.0 million subsequent to quarter-end. We believe our disciplined execution, expanding technology platform, improving customer engagement, and strong financial position leave us well positioned to create meaningful long-term shareholder value.”

*Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and, for historical periods, a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the supplemental tables that follow.
Although the Company provides guidance for adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, it is not able to provide guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Reconciliations for forward-looking figures would require unreasonable effort at this time because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of certain components of various necessary GAAP components, including, for example, those related to compensation, acquisition expenses, other income, amortization or others that may arise during the year, and the Company’s management believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
**Definition of Key Performance Indicators
Top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers: 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 2025 revenue”. We previously used “The top 20 pharma companies by 2024 revenue”. As a result of this change, prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes.
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 period.

RECONCILIATION of GAAP to NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in thousands, except share and per share data, unaudited)
This earnings release includes certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures that are not defined under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures. They may also not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information that facilitates comparison of the Company's historical operating results and trends, and offers transparency into how management evaluates the business. Management uses these measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Excluding items that management does not consider reflective of ongoing operating results improves the comparability of year-over-year results and helps investors better understand the Company’s underlying performance. These adjustments may include items such as asset impairment charges, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, severance related to executive departures and reductions in force initiatives, shareholder activist related fees, CEO search fees, CMO search fees, other income, estimated income tax impact from adjustments and other items that management believes are not related to the Company’s ongoing performance.
