About OptimizeRx Corp

Item 1. Business
General
OptimizeRx is a leading digital healthcare technology company that is redefining how life sciences brands engage with, market their services and products to, and support patients and healthcare providers. We leverage our proprietary technology solutions and partnerships to help our clients develop and execute highly individualized and targeted marketing campaigns to drive physician and patient engagement and to enhance patient care. OptimizeRx is a Nevada corporation and was founded in 2006 in Rochester, Michigan, as a healthcare technology company delivering various types of messages to target audiences, including coupons and co-pays directly to physicians and pharmacists through electronic health record (“EHR”) systems and ePrescribing (“eRx”) platforms. Over time, the demand for different types of communication and marketing solutions among life sciences organizations, healthcare professionals (“HCPs”), and patients led us to expand upon our initial solution to increase the variety of health-related information we deliver, as well as the platforms, technology, and audiences through, and to which we deliver.
By combining artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven tools with our original financial messaging solution, we progressively enhanced our original financial messaging solution. Our current AI-enabled Dynamic Audience Activation Platform (“DAAP”) not only identifies precise HCP audiences but also estimates which HCPs will see brand eligible patients, and when such brand eligible patients will be seen.

After acquiring Healthy Offers, Inc. (d/b/a “Medicx” or “Medicx Health”) in 2023, we expanded our capabilities to include direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) marketing using our patent-protected Micro-Neighborhood® Targeting (“MNT”) solution. MNT uses de-identified claims data to identify and target not individual patients, but geographies in which eligible patients live, to better target audiences for brand manufacturers - a privacy-centric approach to audience creation. With the integration of DTC marketing, our life sciences brand customers now have expanded access across our omnichannel network to reach both HCP and patient audiences. Today, we offer diverse tech-enabled marketing solutions using sophisticated machine learning algorithms to find the best audience in the correct channels at the right time.
Customers are able to execute traditional marketing campaigns utilizing our proprietary digital point-of-care network, as well as dynamic DTC marketing campaigns that optimize audiences in real time to increase the value of treatment information for HCPs and patients. Connecting over two million U.S. healthcare providers and millions of their patients through an intelligent technology platform embedded within a proprietary omnichannel network, OptimizeRx helps life sciences organizations engage and support their customers.

Business Strategy
In recent years, the life science industry has been moving a greater portion of its commercial spend away from legacy marketing methodologies and toward precision digital marketing. We believe our solutions are well tailored to capitalize on this shift in marketing practices, making our network and precision patient finding solutions highly valuable. As a result, we continue to prioritize innovation, customer centricity and delight, operational excellence, disciplined execution, developing stronger relationships with our valued business partners, and expanding our unique value proposition with our top-tier pharma customers. We believe these initiatives will drive the best performance for our customers and enable us to execute on a land and expand strategy with the life science industry.
Another core aspect of our value creation strategy is to to drive towards being recognized as a sustainable “Rule of 40” company within the next several years such that our combined annual revenue growth rate and adjusted EBITDA margin are 40% or higher. Like other companies aspiring to be a “Rule of 40” company, we understand the need to effectively balance growth with profitability. As we drive towards this ambitious financial goal, we plan to grow a re-occurring revenue component to our business as we look to convert our DAAP and MNT customers to a subscription-based model for the data component of our offerings. We believe this will improve our EBITDA margins over time while substantially enhancing the overall predictability of our revenue streams. We also believe this will enhance our ability to scale our business and more thoughtfully plan for profitable growth.

While we believe we are executing the right strategy to drive shareholder value, the Company Board of Directors (the “Board”) and management team understand the need to regularly review our strategy, assess it against a variety of opportunities that may create greater value, and ensure that the strategy we are executing is fully aligned with the best interests of our shareholders.
Industry Background
Life sciences organizations face a challenging commercial landscape. The life sciences industry is characterized by rapidly advancing science and technologies, intense competition, and a strong emphasis on differentiated products.
As a result, life sciences organizations have increasingly turned to technology solutions to support their commercial strategies. According to eMarketer, total pharmaceutical industry digital spend in the United States is now over $20 billion.
We believe significant opportunity exists to address the unmet needs of life sciences organizations as they relate to digital solutions, including omnichannel access to HCPs, for our customers’ biggest commercial challenges. These complex challenges include brand visibility to HCPs, which is impacted by a competitive drug environment with sales representatives losing time in front of prescribers, augmented by the amount of time the HCPs have to spend in front of computers and in the EHR. Further, EHRs do not often communicate with one another, creating interoperability issues resulting in HCPs not having all relevant patient information. In addition, expensive specialty medications are becoming more common and involve more complex diagnosis criteria - factors that contribute to substantial script abandonment by patients. Our solutions are designed to address these and other commercial challenges faced by our customers.
Principal Solutions
We offer clear, actionable solutions to the challenges faced by our customers, and our combined HCP and DTC marketing strategies are designed to ensure our customers’ brands are positioned at the right moment and with the right message, always prioritizing the end result: successful brand engagement to reach both HCPs and patients, ultimately resulting in improved patient care.
Our principal solutions can be summarized as follows:
Audience Development: DAAP and MNT
•Dynamic Audience Activation Platform generates dynamic audiences with predictive analytics via machine learning methods. DAAP identifies which potentially qualified patients and which HCPs to actively engage based on the patient’s care journey and disease progression. These dynamic audiences provide our manufacturing customers with more relevant and timely targets, generating a higher likelihood of impact.
•Micro-Neighborhood® Targeting creates consumer audiences using a patented privacy-first process. MNT looks for all patients expressing brand eligibility signals (covering more than 90% of the U.S. population), then scores over 35 million 9-digit zip codes based on the concentration of those signals to create a prioritized, yet de-identified audience. Geographies are automatically refreshed and prioritized regularly to maximize marketing relevance and precision. Our clients may then activate these audiences through a myriad of downstream DTC publishers, including, but not limited to programmatic Demand-Side Platforms (“DSPs”), connected television (“CTV”)/over-the-top (“OTT”), social media, addressable television (“ATV”), out-of-home (“OOH”), and programmatic audio (podcasts, apps, radio).
Audience Profiling: Profiler
•Our audience profiling solution, Profiler, provides insights into our customers' target consumers, identifying the most cost effective and engaging channels, partners, and strategies for our customers. Audience profiling enables clients to maximize marketing dollars, focusing on channels their targets are most likely to be consuming, and more specifically focusing on the media partners within those channels. This is critical to upfront planning as well as periodic analysis to ensure efficient use of marketing budgets.

Audience Activation and Media Execution
•Our primary media offering is banner messaging delivered to HCPs. Banner messages include brand messaging, therapeutic support messaging, affordability messaging, limited distribution drug information, and patient support program messaging. We can deliver these in a number of ways via our HCP point of care (“POC”) network (EHR systems and eRx platforms), programmatic social media, and programmatic display.
•With the acquisition of Medicx, our omnichannel solutions expanded further to offering media execution solutions to consumer audiences. To reach consumer audiences - brand eligible patients - we deliver messages via our consumer omnichannel network including through display programmatic CTV/OTT, programmatic social media, ATV, digital OOH, programmatic audio (podcasts, apps, radio), and email/direct mail.
Pharmacy Alerts
•Pharmacy Alerts improves the existing workflow for prescribing HCPs by informing them in real time about which pharmacies are able to dispense a patient’s prescription. Currently, HCPs typically see a list of pharmacies near their patients, sorted by proximity, without regard to whether each pharmacy carries the medication or is permitted to fill it (in case of a limited distribution drug). Pharmacy Alerts flags pharmacies that have the medication in stock and are able to fill the prescriptions, resulting in less frustration and added work for prescribing physicians, pharmacies and patients and less waiting time to get essential medications to the patients.
Financial Messaging
•Financial Messaging provides prescribers visibility to branded copay offers for patients directly within their EHR systems and eRx platforms. It allows prescribers to print or digitally send copay offer details to the dispensing pharmacy. Our solution addresses the fact that many healthcare systems and prescribers are looking for an easier, more effective way to increase affordable access to their prescribed branded medications.
Sales and Marketing
Our go-to-market strategy for the business aligns sales and marketing efforts while keeping customer engagement at the core. Engaging customers early, providing value throughout their journey, and nurturing long-term relationships drive sustainable growth and retention. Our sales, marketing and account management teams include over 50 individuals focused on awareness, adoption and expansion of data and technology solutions designed to address the digital engagement needs of life sciences brands and their agency partners.
DAAP, our patent pending patient-centric omnichannel engagement platform combines AI and human intelligence (“HI”), to determine the optimal time to engage patients and physicians. We synchronize HCP and DTC marketing across the programmatic and point-of-care channels to increase brand conversions, streamline therapy starts, and build stronger brand relationships. Our commercial team works to cultivate customer relationships. We use a number of methods to market and promote our solutions, including digital advertising, industry events, trade shows, conferences, media coverage, social media, and email.
Technology
Our proprietary technology platform enables us to curate privacy safe DTC audiences, dynamic HCP and DTC audiences, and effectively manage digital media campaigns for our advertiser clients (agencies, and manufacturer/brands) across our broad publisher partner network. Our platform consists of a unified data intelligence technology stack, multiple cloud-based data warehouses, and in-house applications and application programming interface layers. Collectively, this platform enables us with a collaborative environment for data engineering, data science, and machine learning, an efficient method to curate privacy safe DTC audiences, and a scalable means to manage both point-of-care media campaigns and the supply-side inventory request volume. For the management of point-of-care media campaigns, the platform integrates advanced features of a Supply-Side Platform (“SSP”), allowing us to provide seamless access to an expansive range of point-of-care inventory via our strategic partnerships. As an SSP, our platform enables us to manage and optimize our point-of-care network’s ad inventory, maximizing their revenue. On the demand side, our platform empowers our account and program managers to efficiently manage our customers’ campaign(s). Our technology is built on a scalable and secure architecture that supports high-performance data processing, real-time decisioning, and integration with publisher partners.

To support our growth and provide maximum security, scalability, and flexibility, all our systems, including from acquisitions, are now hosted and integrated in the cloud. Our technology development and systems management core team is in the U.S. and in Croatia, with contractors in India, Ukraine, the U.S., and Croatia, to provide bench depth, rich skills experience, and business economies. The teams are organized into Centers of Excellence focused on Product Development, Quality Assurance, Information Security, Data Warehousing, Business Intelligence, Platform Services, and Internal Systems Support. System enhancements are routinely a part of our annual plan to ensure high performance, high security, scalability, automation, and ease of maintenance. The enhancements we made in 2025 included system and framework upgrades, documentation of processes and procedures, security implementation for ongoing cybersecurity, Sarbanes-Oxley, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), and customer security assessments, and in achieving both System and Organization Controls (“SOC”) 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certifications.
Major Customers
Because the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by large companies with multiple brands, our revenue is concentrated in a relatively small number of customers. Although we have over 100 pharmaceutical manufacturers as customers, during the year ended December 31, 2025, our top five customers accounted for approximately 47% of our revenues. In 2025 and 2024, we had three customers and two customers, respectively, that represented over 10% of our revenues.
Competition
The competitive landscape within life sciences digital marketing is constantly evolving. Our solutions face competition from numerous other companies.
We compete broadly in the dynamic and ever-evolving pharmaceutical and life sciences digital marketing industry with healthcare data suppliers, health-focused demand-side platforms, and health-focused walled garden websites and web platforms, and advertising networks that aggregate traffic from multiple web sites or point-of-care platforms such as telehealth, EHR, eRx, physician practice management, health information exchanges (“HIE”), and site-based platforms within large health systems. Our competitors include large well-known companies with established names, solid market niches, and wide arrays of product offerings and marketing networks, many of which have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do.
As innovators in the industry, we have patented and patent-pending technologies that provide unique differentiation, including a patient-centric focus on brand conversion, and value generation for our customers. Our extensive point-of-care network provides our customers with unparalleled reach to relevant prescribers. We are uniquely able to use DAAP to produce targeted, privacy-safe audiences for both consumers and their treating HCPs, allowing brand engagement to occur within the likely care window to find brand-eligible patients at the right time for brand adoption. DAAP leverages the investment in data and AI technologies, combined with human intelligence, in applying brand-specific strategies to optimize program performance. Our patented MNT technology provides a unique opportunity for pharmaceutical brands to market to consumers while adhering to HIPAA and state level privacy requirements.
