Q2 2016 Financial Summary
Net revenue in the second quarter of 2016 was $1.9 million versus $1.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was due to both increased promotion of pharmaceutical brands and expanded distribution channels.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2016 were $1.6 million, as compared to $1.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses related to growth initiatives, including investments in the company’s executive and sales team and related marketing and travel. Since the second quarter of 2015, the company has appointed a vice president of client services, a senior vice president of business development, a senior vice president of product and strategy, an additional vice president of sales, a new vice president of channel and a new CEO.
Net loss was $592,000 or $(0.02) per share, as compared to net loss of $157,000 or $(0.01) per share in the same year-ago quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.6 million at June 30, 2016, as compared to $7.5 million at March 31, 2016. The company continued to operate debt-free.
Management Commentary
“In Q2, our topline growth was driven by acquiring, integrating and expanding into new promotional EHR and electronic prescribing (eRx) platforms,” said William Febbo, OptimizeRx’s CEO. “During the quarter, we completed a full technology review and launched new initiatives to add additional client services. Now five and a half months into managing the business, my near term priorities are to focus on growth driven by further building our sales team, product offerings and partnerships for distribution of health content relevant to the medical community. We expect these initiatives to drive revenue growth both near and long term.
“We are actively engaged in discussions with several EHRs to integrate our technology into their platforms. We are also working extensively with our existing EHR partners, such as Allscripts and Dr. First, to expand the reach of our financial and clinical messaging products to all of their healthcare providers.
“Our partnerships with WPP, the largest marketing services company in the world, is beginning to gain traction with 15 new drug brands for financial messaging and 12 new brands for clinical messaging launching in the third quarter. With the growth of both our pharmaceutical products and our distribution network, we expect that our distribution of messaging will continue to increase year-over-year with a considerable increase in the coming quarters.”
