Q3 2015 Financial Summary
Net revenue in the third quarter of 2015 increased 10% to a record $2.0 million from $1.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was due to both increased promotion of pharmaceutical brands and expanded distribution channels.

Operating expenses were $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $1.2 million in the same year-ago quarter.

Net income was $88,000, as compared to a loss of $295,000 in the same year-ago quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.2 million as of September 30, 2015, as compared to $3.4 million as of December 31, 2014, and the company continues to operate debt-free.

First Nine Months 2015 Financial Summary
Net revenue in the first nine months of 2015 increased 15% to a record $5.2 million from $4.5 million in the same year-ago period.

Operating expenses decreased to $2.7 million as compared to $3.5 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease was primarily due to a $400,000 legal settlement that occurred in the year-ago period, as well as the reduction in stock-based compensation.

Net loss totaled $180,000 or $(0.01) per share, as compared to a loss of $1.3 million or $(0.05) per basic share in the same year-ago period.

Management Commentary
"During the third quarter, we achieved record revenue and attained profitability through continued progress in both segments of our business," said David Harrell, CEO of OptimizeRx. "This included adding new brands to our channel and expanding agreements with pharmaceutical companies who are looking for new ways to market their products and reach doctors and patients at 'point-of-prescribe.'

"We expanded our networks with Allscripts to work with us exclusively to manage their patient savings across all of their EHR platforms, including their largest platform, Touchworks, which will be integrated in 2016," continued Harrell. "With Allscripts, we now are the exclusive delivery platform for more than 200 EHRs, with this exclusivity representing about two thirds of our network. This will insure our leadership as innovators in the space and provide key competitive barriers to entry.

"OptimizeRx has now created the largest network of its kind, with promotional programs incorporated into more than 350 leading EHRs and engaging more healthcare providers at 'point-of-prescribe' than any other network. This broad market reach and exclusivity provides a substantial competitive barrier to entry.

"We anticipate our deeper relationship with GHG/WPP and their investment to help expand our point-of-care EHR promotional network and service offerings, increase the number of participating brands, as well as enhance our management and infrastructure. Through this relationship, we now have access to virtually every pharmaceutical company in the world. As announced today, we appointed David Smith as VP of Client Services to leverage this relationship and focus on monetization strategies. In all, we see this key partnership supporting our continued growth and profitability in the current quarter and beyond."
