GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GDRX) ("we," "us," "our," “GoodRx,” or the “Company”), the leading prescription savings platform in the U.S., has released its financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Revenue1 and Adjusted Revenue1 of $195.3 million
  • Net income of $4.0 million; Net income margin of 2.0%
  • Adjusted Net Income1 of $31.9 million; Adjusted Net Income Margin1 of 16.4%
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $65.0 million; Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 of 33.3%
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $86.9 million
  • Exited the quarter with over 7 million consumers of prescription-related offerings2

“In a world where there is increasing attention on medicine affordability and access, we believe the strategic high ground belongs to brands and companies that benefit patients and remove friction from a complicated healthcare ecosystem. At GoodRx, that's our North Star and we believe it's enabled us to gain share in our category and strengthen our value proposition throughout 2024,” said Scott Wagner, Interim Chief Executive Officer of GoodRx. “We continue to build momentum on our programs with brand manufacturers and anticipate about 20% year-over-year top-line growth in our pharma manufacturer solutions offering for Q4 2024, and 20%+ for full year 2025. And while the retail pharmacy environment is experiencing short-term choppiness, we believe we continue to provide invaluable support to our partners by driving traffic and helping them meet their merchandising goals.”

Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income Margin are non-GAAP financial measures and are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. For the third quarter of 2024, revenue, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, was equal to Adjusted Revenue and we expect revenue to equal Adjusted Revenue for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024. Revenue excluding the $10.0 million client contract termination payment represents Adjusted Revenue for the third quarter and full year 2023. 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.

Sum of Monthly Active Consumers (MACs) for Q3'24 and subscribers to our subscription plans as of September 30, 2024. Refer to Key Operating Metrics below for definitions of Monthly Active Consumers and subscription plans.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Overview (all comparisons are made to the same period of the prior year unless otherwise noted):

Revenue1 increased 8% to $195.3 million compared to $180.0 million. Adjusted Revenue1 increased 3% to $195.3 million compared to $190.0 million.

Prescription transactions revenue increased 4% to $140.4 million compared to $135.4 million, primarily driven by a 7% increase in Monthly Active Consumers principally from organic growth, including expansion of our integrated savings program.

Subscription revenue decreased 8% to $21.3 million compared to $23.2 million, primarily driven by a decrease in the number of subscription plans due to the sunset of our partnership subscription program, Kroger Savings Club. Kroger Savings Club contributed $2.1 million of subscription revenue in the third quarter 2023 and nil for the same period of 2024.

Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue increased 77% to $28.1 million compared to $15.9 million, primarily driven by a $10.0 million client contract termination payment recognized as a reduction of revenue in the prior year quarter in connection with the restructuring of our pharma manufacturer solutions offering in the second half of 2023 (the “restructuring”). The year-over-year change was also driven by organic growth as we continued to expand our market penetration with pharma manufacturers and other customers, including ongoing growth in our point of sale discount programs, which fully offset the $2.5 million decrease in revenue contribution from vitaCare Prescription Services, Inc., a solution we de-prioritized in connection with the restructuring.

Net income was $4.0 million compared to a net loss of $38.5 million. The year-over year change was primarily driven by restructuring related costs including accelerated amortization of certain intangible assets incurred in the prior year quarter in connection with the restructuring and the subsequent run rate savings. The impact from these drivers was partially offset by debt refinancing costs incurred in the current year quarter and changes in our income tax position. Net income margin was 2.0% compared to a net loss margin of 21.4%. Adjusted Net Income1 was $31.9 million compared to Adjusted Net Income1 of $25.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $65.0 million compared to $53.5 million. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by top-line growth and run rate savings as a result of the restructuring. Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 was 33.3% compared to 28.1%.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter was $86.9 million compared to $60.3 million in the comparable period last year, driven by an increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were principally driven by the timing of payments of prepaid services, accounts payable and accrued expenses, income tax payments and refunds, as well as collections of accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $423.8 million and total outstanding debt of $500.0 million.

As previously announced, in July 2024, we refinanced our debt to, among other things, establish a new $500.0 million term loan facility that matures on July 10, 2029 and extend the maturity date on $88.0 million of our $100.0 million revolving credit facility to April 10, 2029. Concurrent with the refinance, we repaid our then-existing term loan in full using all the proceeds from the new term loan (either in cash or via conversion) and cash on hand.

We are focused on a disciplined approach to capital allocation, centered on furthering our 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 capital allocation priorities support our long-term growth strategy while also providing flexibility to navigate near-term challenges.

Share Repurchases

During the third quarter of 2024, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate of $5.3 million. As of September 30, 2024, we had $290.2 million of unused authorized share repurchase capacity under our $450.0 million share repurchase program that does not expire.

“For the fourth quarter of 2024, we are guiding to revenue and Adjusted Revenue of approximately $200 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of about 34%,” said Karsten Voermann, Chief Financial Officer. “While our full year 2024 revenue and Adjusted Revenue expectations are lower than what we previously indicated, we are confident we can achieve strong Adjusted EBITDA of $255 to $260 million, up over 17% from 2023, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of over 32%, up more than 340 basis points from 2023.”

“Our balance sheet and liquidity remained robust in the third quarter of 2024. Our capital allocation priorities are unchanged and we will continue to prioritize high return investments and maximizing value for shareholders,” concluded Voermann.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures and are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to GAAP net income or loss and GAAP net income or loss margin, respectively, because we do not provide guidance for such GAAP measures 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and their respective most directly comparable GAAP measures. 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 and 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 offering. 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, which sunset in July 2024. Each subscription plan may represent more than one subscriber since family subscription plans may include multiple members.

We exited the third quarter of 2024 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, 2024 and subscribers to our subscription plans as of September 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Revenue and metrics presented as a percentage of 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, financing related expenses, restructuring related expenses, legal settlement expenses, loss on operating lease assets, charitable stock donation, 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 costs 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:
