WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 11, 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 September 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights

• Revenue decreased 17% to $21.6 million in Q3 2026, compared to $26.1 million in Q3 2025.
• GAAP net income of $1.2 million or $0.06 per basic and diluted share in Q3 2026, compared to GAAP net income of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, in Q3 2025.
• Non-GAAP net income of $3.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in Q3 2026, compared to Non-GAAP net income of $3.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share, in Q3 2025. (See *Non-GAAP Measures below)
• Adjusted EBITDA of $6.3 million in Q3 2026 compared to $5.1 million in Q3 2025. (See *Non-GAAP Measures below)
• Operating cash flow was $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $22.3 million as of September 30, 2026 compared to $23.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
  

Stephen L. Silvestro, OptimizeRx CEO commented,“Third quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA both exceeded consensus expectations, reflecting continued margin expansion, disciplined execution, and the resilience of our operating model. While revenue declined year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA increased approximately 23%, with adjusted EBITDA margins expanding over 900 basis points, demonstrating the benefits of our improved product mix and cost management initiatives.

“While in-year contracted revenue continues to track below prior-year levels, resulting in a revision to our full-year 2026 revenue outlook, we remain encouraged by the growth we are seeing in contracted revenue for 2027, highlighting a start to a strong RFP season. We are seeing expanding opportunities within key accounts, renewed spending in the fourth quarter from a previously significant customer, and indications of pent-up demand as customers execute against their marketing budgets for the 2027 RFP season. We believe these developments, along with our continued focus on strengthening our commercial leadership and broadening our product capabilities, position us to capture additional demand and support future growth.

“More importantly, we believe OptimizeRx is uniquely positioned for the next evolution of healthcare marketing through three fundamental competitive advantages: our proven and increasingly scalable artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled platform, our proprietary healthcare data and solutions that are difficult to replicate or disintermediate, and our deeply integrated EHR network with substantial reach and meaningful barriers to entry. Our Dynamic Audience Activation Platform and expanding AI-enabled audience intelligence capabilities demonstrate the value of these investments, while our partnerships with DeepIntent, The Trade Desk, and PulsePoint are broadening programmatic access to our proprietary network. Together, these initiatives create opportunities to increase network utilization, expand customer reach, and capture a greater share of pharmaceutical marketing budgets. We believe the progress we've made throughout 2026 has established a stronger foundation for sustainable, profitable growth and long-term shareholder value creation.”

*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 12 months 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 averaging our total number of FTEs at the end of the prior year period and 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.
