First Quarter 2025 Revenue In-line; Adjusted EBITDA Margin Beats Previous Guidance; Maintains Full Year 2025 Revenue Guidance Range; Raises Adjusted EBITDA Expectations

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2025-- GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GDRX) ("we," "us," "our," “GoodRx,” or the “Company”), the leading platform for medication savings in the U.S., has released its financial results for the first quarter of 2025.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

• Revenue of $203.0 million
• Net income of $11.1 million; Net income margin of 5.4%
• Adjusted Net Income¹ of $34.4 million; Adjusted Net Income Margin¹ of 16.9%
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $69.8 million; Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ of 34.4%
• Net cash provided by operating activities of $9.4 million
• Exited the quarter with over 7 million consumers of prescription-related offerings²

“Since stepping into this role, I have dedicated my time strengthening our leadership team, gaining a deeper understanding of our business, meeting with key partners, understanding the macroeconomic environment, and identifying key capabilities and growth opportunities,” said Wendy Barnes, Chief Executive Officer and President of GoodRx. “I can confidently say that we are in a very strong position to deliver meaningful value across the pharmacy ecosystem. Furthermore, we are focused on high-impact initiatives that we believe will drive our business forward in compelling ways.”

First Quarter 2025 Financial Overview (all comparisons are made to the same period of the prior year unless otherwise noted):

Revenue increased 3% to $203.0 million compared to $197.9 million.

Prescription transactions revenue increased 2% to $148.9 million compared to $145.4 million, primarily driven by improved unit economics related to contracting with our customers and partners and sales mix, partially offset by a 4% decrease in Monthly Active Consumers, primarily due to the broader changes in the retail pharmacy landscape.

Subscription revenue decreased 7% to $21.0 million compared to $22.6 million, primarily driven by a decrease in the number of subscription plans principally due to the sunset of our partnership subscription program, Kroger Savings Club.

Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue increased 17% to $28.6 million compared to $24.5 million, 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.

Net income was $11.1 million compared to a net loss of $1.0 million. Net income margin was 5.4% compared to a net loss margin of 0.5%. Adjusted Net Income¹ was $34.4 million compared to $32.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $69.8 million compared to $62.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ was 34.4% compared to 31.7%.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter was $9.4 million compared to $42.6 million in the comparable period last year driven by changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by an increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items. 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 March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $301.0 million and total outstanding debt of $498.8 million.

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 first quarter of 2025, we repurchased 23.3 million shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate of $100.9 million. As of March 31, 2025, we had $189.4 million of unused authorized share repurchase capacity under our $450.0 million share repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date.

Guidance

For the full year 2025, management is anticipating the following:

“For the full year 2025, we continue to believe that revenue will be in the range of $810 to $840 million, representing 2% to 6% growth compared to 2024,” said Chris McGinnis, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. “There are a number of factors that influence revenue, including macro conditions such as consumer confidence and spending trends, tariffs and other policies related to drug pricing, economic climate, and our ongoing business development efforts driving our strategic initiatives. It’s hard to predict the impact that these variables will ultimately have on our full year revenue, but in an effort to be as transparent as possible, at this point in the year we have greater conviction and visibility at the lower half of our range with achievement of strategic initiatives providing opportunities to deliver in the upper half of our range. With respect to our guidance for full year Adjusted EBITDA³, we are slightly increasing and narrowing the range, now believing it will be between $273 and $287 million, which represents approximately 5% to 10% growth compared to 2024.”

“With the full year guidance as context, for the second quarter, we expect revenue to be up sequentially from the $203 million we reported in the first quarter with an Adjusted EBITDA Margin³ roughly similar to the first quarter,” concluded McGinnis.

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. Effective January 1, 2025, Monthly Active Consumers from acquired companies are included beginning from the acquisition date. Prior to January 1, 2025, Monthly Active Consumers from acquired companies were 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, the latter of 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 first quarter of 2025 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 March 31, 2025 and subscribers to our subscription plans as of March 31, 2025.

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. For the current period and full year of 2024, revenue was equal to Adjusted Revenue. In addition, we expect revenue for the full year of 2025 to equal Adjusted Revenue.

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, 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, 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, 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.
