DocumentGOODRX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- (November 9, 2023) -- GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GDRX) (“GoodRx” or the “Company”), a leading resource for healthcare savings and information, has released its financial results for the third quarter 2023.
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights
•Revenue1 of $180.0 million
•Adjusted Revenue1,2 of $190.0 million
•Net loss of $38.5 million; Net loss margin of 21.4%
•Adjusted Net Income2 of $25.5 million; Adjusted Net Income Margin2 of 13.4%
•Adjusted EBITDA2 of $53.5 million; Adjusted EBITDA Margin2 of 28.1%
•Net cash provided by operating activities of $60.3 million
•Over 550,000 prescribers3 engaged with us through Provider Mode since its launch
•Exited the quarter with over 7 million consumers of prescription-related offerings4
“We’ve been working to rebuild momentum in the business, both financially and operationally, with an eye toward compounding growth in 2024 and beyond, and we made meaningful progress in the third quarter,” said Scott Wagner, Interim Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved an important milestone with year-over-year Adjusted Revenue growth, while strengthening and expanding our retail pharmacy relationships, announcing two additional integrated savings programs with MedImpact and Navitus as well as an exciting collaboration with Sanofi to help make insulin more accessible to all Americans.”
1Revenue was impacted by a $10.0 million client contract termination payment, which was recognized as a reduction of revenue, in connection with our plan to de-prioritize certain solutions under our pharma manufacturer solutions offering approved by our board of directors on August 7, 2023 (the “Restructuring Plan”). Revenue excluding the $10.0 million client contract termination payment represents Adjusted Revenue for the third quarter. For all other periods, revenue equals Adjusted Revenue.
2Adjusted Revenue and metrics presented as a percentage of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Margin, and adjusted costs and operating expenses are non-GAAP financial measures and are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. For the periods presented, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income Margin are defined as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, respectively, divided by Adjusted Revenue. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for definitions, additional information, and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
3As of September 30, 2023. Prescribers are defined as individuals in the medical profession who are allowed to write orders for medical treatment.
4Sum of Monthly Active Consumers (MACs) for Q3'23 and subscribers to our subscription plans as of September 30, 2023. Refer to Key Operating Metrics below for definitions of Monthly Active Consumers and subscription plans.
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Overview (all comparisons are made to the same period of the prior year unless otherwise noted):
Revenue decreased 4% to $180.0 million compared to $187.3 million, primarily due to a $10.0 million contract termination payment to a client in the third quarter of 2023, which was recognized as a reduction of revenue, partially offset by organic growth in prescription transactions revenue. Adjusted Revenue1,2, which represents revenue excluding the $10.0 million contract termination payment, increased 1% to $190.0 million compared to $187.3 million, primarily driven by growth in prescription transactions revenue. Prescription transactions revenue increased 3% to $135.4 million compared to $131.2 million, primarily driven by a 5% increase in Monthly Active Consumers partially offset by lower fees per transaction related to our ongoing shift to a hybrid model as well as from our consumer incentives program principally in the form of consumer discounts on prescription drugs processed through pharmacies that we directly contract with, which is recognized as a reduction of prescription transactions revenue. Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue decreased 35% to $15.9 million compared to $24.5 million, primarily driven by the $10.0 million contract termination payment described above, which was paid in connection with our Restructuring Plan, and is recognized as a reduction of pharma manufacturer solutions revenue. Organic growth in the underlying pharma manufacturer solutions offering partially offset the impact of the $10.0 million payment. Subscription revenue decreased 12% to $23.2 million compared to $26.5 million, primarily driven by a decrease in the number of subscription plans largely due to the sunset of our partnership subscription program, Kroger Savings Club, as well as a change in the mix of Gold plans to more single-user subscription plans and away from family Gold plans. Gold subscription plans grew year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter as of September 30, 2023. Other revenue increased 5% to $5.4 million compared to $5.2 million.
Cost of revenues increased 8% to $18.7 million, or 10% of revenue, compared to $17.4 million, or 9% of revenue, primarily driven by an increase in personnel related costs arising from the Restructuring Plan. Adjusted cost of revenues2 decreased 8% to $15.7 million, or 8% of Adjusted Revenue2, compared to $17.1 million, or 9% of Adjusted Revenue2.
Product development and technology expenses increased 10% to $39.6 million, or 22% of revenue, compared to $35.9 million, or 19% of revenue, primarily driven by the disposal of certain capitalized software principally in connection with our Restructuring Plan, partially offset by a decrease in payroll and related costs due to lower average headcount and higher capitalization of certain qualified costs related to software development. Adjusted product development and technology expenses2 decreased 3% to $24.0 million, or 13% of Adjusted Revenue2, compared to $24.9 million, or 13% of Adjusted Revenue2.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 6% to $91.6 million, or 51% of revenue, compared to $86.2 million, or 46% of revenue, primarily driven by an increase in payroll and related costs, primarily due to higher stock-based compensation, as well as higher third-party marketing and related support services. Adjusted sales and marketing expenses2 increased 2% to $80.4 million, or 42% of Adjusted Revenue2, compared to $78.7 million, or 42% of Adjusted Revenue2.
General and administrative expenses decreased 29% to $35.3 million, or 20% of revenue, compared to $49.5 million, or 26% of revenue, primarily driven by a $16.6 million expense for the fair value adjustment of contingent consideration related to the vitaCare acquisition in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted general and administrative expenses2 increased 12% to $16.4 million, or 9% of Adjusted Revenue2, compared to $14.7 million, or 8% of Adjusted Revenue2.
Net loss was $38.5 million compared to a net loss of $41.7 million, primarily driven by the individual factors described above as well as due to an income tax benefit of $8.1 million, compared to an income tax expense of $19.5 million. Net loss margin was 21.4% compared to a net loss margin of 22.3%. Adjusted Net Income2 was $25.5 million compared to Adjusted Net Income2 of $29.9 million.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was $53.5 million compared to $52.0 million, primarily driven by higher prescription transactions revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Margin2 was 28.1% compared to 27.8%.
Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter was $60.3 million compared to $33.7 million in the comparable period last year, largely driven by improvements in the net impacts of net losses and non-cash adjustments year over year. As of September 30, 2023, GoodRx had cash and cash equivalents of $794.9 million and total outstanding debt of $661.8 million.
GoodRx is focused on a disciplined approach to capital allocation, centered on furthering the Company’s mission and creating shareholder value. Our capital allocation priorities are investing for profitable growth, paying down debt, buying back shares, and M&A that aligns with our strategic priorities. These priorities support GoodRx’s long-term growth strategy while also providing flexibility to navigate near-term challenges.
Share Repurchases
During the third quarter of 2023, we repurchased $7.7 million in shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 1.1 million shares. As of September 30, 2023, we had $122.1 million remaining of our $250.0 million share repurchase authorization approved by our board of directors during the first quarter 2022.
Guidance
For the fourth quarter and full year 2023, and full year 2024, management is anticipating the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
$ in millions | 4Q 2023 | 4Q 2022 | YoY Change |
Revenue5 | $188-$194 | $184.1 | 2%-5% |
Adjusted Revenue5 | $188-$194 | $184.1 | 2%-5% |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin6 | Mid-to-high twenty-percent range |
|
$ in millions | FY 2023 | FY 2022 | YoY Change |
Revenue5 | $742-$748 | $766.6 | (3%)-(2%) |
Adjusted Revenue5 | $752-$758 | $766.6 | (2%)-(1%) |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin6 | High twenty-percent range |
“We are guiding to fourth quarter revenue and Adjusted Revenue in the range of $188 million to $194 million, representing 2%-5% year-over-year growth, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the mid-to-high twenty-percent range,” said Karsten Voermann, Chief Financial Officer. “While we are continuing to refine our views on 2024, including assessing the uptake in new initiatives like our integrated savings programs, we feel good about the business growing next year at a roughly similar rate to the growth rate implied in the 4Q23 guide, and we expect our 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Margin6 to meet or exceed 4Q23.”
“Our balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong in the third quarter, while generating healthy cash flow from operations. We will continue to prioritize cash conversion and disciplined capital deployment to support our strategic priorities and accelerate value creation,” concluded Voermann.
5Adjusted Revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only. We expect revenue, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to equal Adjusted Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year 2023 guidance, revenue of $742 million to $748 million, excluding the $10 million client contract termination costs incurred in the third quarter of 2023, represents Adjusted Revenue. For the fourth quarters of 2022 and 2023 and full years 2022 and 2024, Revenue equals Adjusted Revenue.
6Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only. We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to GAAP net income or loss margin, because we do not provide guidance for GAAP net income or loss margin due to the uncertainty and potential variability of stock-based compensation expense, acquired intangible assets and related amortization and income taxes, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA Margin and GAAP net income or loss margin. Because such items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure. However, such items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP net income or loss margin.

Key Operating Metrics
Monthly Active Consumers (MACs) refers to the number of unique consumers who have used a GoodRx code to purchase a prescription medication in a given calendar month and have saved money compared to the list price of the medication. A unique consumer who uses a GoodRx code more than once in a calendar month to purchase prescription medications is only counted as one Monthly Active Consumer in that month. A unique consumer who uses a GoodRx code in two or three calendar months within a quarter will be counted as a Monthly Active Consumer in each such month. Monthly Active Consumers do not include subscribers to our subscription offerings, consumers of our pharma manufacturer solutions offering, or consumers who use our telehealth offerings. When presented for a period longer than a month, Monthly Active Consumers are averaged over the number of calendar months in such period. Monthly Active Consumers from acquired companies are only included beginning in the first full quarter following the acquisition.
Subscription plans represent the ending subscription plan balance across both of our subscription offerings, GoodRx Gold and Kroger Savings Club. Each subscription plan may represent more than one subscriber since family subscription plans may include multiple members.
We exited the third quarter of 2023 with over 7 million prescription-related consumers that used GoodRx across our prescription transactions and subscription offerings. Our prescription-related consumers represent the sum of Monthly Active Consumers for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and subscribers to our subscription plans as of September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Margin and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We also present each cost and operating expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations on an adjusted basis to arrive at adjusted operating income. Collectively, we refer to these non-GAAP financial measures as our “Non-GAAP Measures."
We define Adjusted Revenue for a particular period as revenue excluding client contract termination costs associated with restructuring related activities. We exclude these costs from revenue because we believe they are not indicative of past or future underlying performance of the business.
We define Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and as further adjusted for, as applicable for the periods presented, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, financing related expenses, loss on operating lease assets, restructuring related expenses, legal settlement expenses, charitable stock donation, gain on sale of business, and other income or expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted Revenue.
We define Adjusted Net Income for a particular period as net income or loss adjusted for, as applicable for the periods presented, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions and restructuring activities, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, financing related expenses, loss on operating lease assets, restructuring related expenses, legal settlement expenses, charitable stock donation, gain on sale of business, other expense, and as further adjusted for estimated income tax on such adjusted items. Our adjusted taxes also excludes (i) the valuation allowance recorded against certain of our net deferred tax assets that was recognized in accordance with GAAP and any subsequent releases of the valuation allowance, and (ii) all tax benefits/expenses resulting from excess tax benefits/deficiencies in connection with stock-based compensation. Adjusted Net Income Margin represents Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of Adjusted Revenue.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share is Adjusted Net Income attributable to common stockholders divided by weighted average number of shares. The weighted average shares we use in computing Adjusted Earnings Per Share – basic is equal to our GAAP weighted average shares – basic and the weighted average shares we use in computing Adjusted Earnings Per Share – diluted is equal to either GAAP weighted average shares – basic or GAAP weighted average shares – diluted, depending on whether we have adjusted net loss or adjusted net income, respectively.
We also assess our performance by evaluating each cost and operating expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations on a non-GAAP, or adjusted, basis to arrive at adjusted operating income. The adjustments to these cost and operating expense items include, as applicable for the periods presented, acquisition related expenses, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions and restructuring activities, stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, financing related expenses, restructuring related expenses, legal settlement expenses, loss on operating lease assets, charitable stock donation, other expense, and gain on sale of business. Adjusted operating income is Adjusted Revenue less non-GAAP costs and operating expenses.
We believe our Non-GAAP Measures are helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties because they assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods. Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are also key measures we use to assess our financial performance and are also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. In addition, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate and assess performance.
The Non-GAAP Measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as alternatives or substitutes to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net (loss) income and revenue, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Revenue, respectively, and presents net (loss) income margin, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
