Insights

Financial Analyst

GoodRx delivered solid Q4 and full-year 2024 results that align with previous guidance, demonstrating meaningful progress in both growth and profitability metrics. The company's full-year revenue grew 6% to $792.3 million, with a significant turnaround in profitability, posting $16.4 million in net income compared to an $8.9 million loss in 2023.

The company's performance reveals a strategic evolution in their business mix. While their core prescription transactions segment grew 5% to $577.5 million, driven by 7% growth in Monthly Active Consumers, their fastest-growing segment was pharma manufacturer solutions, which surged 26% to $107.2 million. This diversification reduces dependence on their traditional discount card model and positions them more broadly within the pharmaceutical value chain.

Profitability improvements were particularly noteworthy, with Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 420 basis points to 32.8%. This expansion stems from both revenue growth and operational efficiencies following their 2023 restructuring of pharma manufacturer solutions. The $183.9 million in operating cash flow (up from $138.3 million) demonstrates strong cash conversion and provides financial flexibility for their stated capital allocation priorities.

The appointment of new CEO Wendy Barnes, with three decades of pharmacy and medical benefit industry experience, signals a potential strategic pivot. Her background suggests GoodRx may be positioning to more deeply integrate with the pharmacy ecosystem rather than disrupting it from the outside. This approach could open new partnership opportunities while addressing persistent consumer pain points in medication access and affordability.

While the sunset of the Kroger Savings Club partnership contributed to an 8% decline in subscription revenue, the company's overall consumer reach remains robust with over 7 million prescription-related consumers. The thin net income margin (2.1%) despite strong Adjusted EBITDA margin (32.8%) indicates significant non-cash expenses that investors should monitor for potential normalization in future periods.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results Substantially In-line with Previous Guidance

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 fourth quarter and full year of 2024.

“I am excited to join GoodRx at such a pivotal time for both the company and healthcare system as a whole. I have spent the last thirty years in the pharmacy and medical benefit industry, and I intimately understand where there is friction and opportunity,” said Wendy Barnes, Chief Executive Officer and President of GoodRx. “I am here to help GoodRx accelerate its ability to solve the varied pain points that consumers currently face in getting medication. It’s a privilege to take on this role. I'm thrilled to be here and am optimistic about the endless opportunities we have.”

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

Revenue¹ increased 6% to $792.3 million compared to $750.3 million. Adjusted Revenue¹ increased 4% to $792.3 million compared to $760.3 million.

Prescription transactions revenue increased 5% to $577.5 million compared to $550.7 million, driven by an organic 7% increase in Monthly Active Consumers, including expansion of our integrated savings program.

Subscription revenue decreased 8% to $86.5 million compared to $94.4 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 $9.0 million of subscription revenue in 2023 and $1.1 million in 2024 prior to its sunset.

Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue increased 26% to $107.2 million compared to $85.1 million, primarily driven by organic growth as we continued to expand our market penetration with pharma manufacturers and other customers, including growth in our point of sale discount programs.

Net income was $16.4 million compared to a net loss of $8.9 million. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by top-line growth and run-rate savings as a result of the restructuring of our pharma manufacturer solutions offering in the second half of 2023. In addition, the net loss in 2023 was impacted by costs incurred related to the above-mentioned restructuring, partially offset by a tax benefit from the release of our valuation allowance against our beginning of the year net deferred tax assets in excess of tax amortizable goodwill. Net income margin was 2.1% compared to a net loss margin of 1.2%. Adjusted Net Income¹ was $131.6 million compared to $114.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $260.2 million compared to $217.4 million. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by top-line growth and run-rate savings as a result of the restructuring of our pharma manufacturer solutions offering in the second half of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ was 32.8% compared to 28.6%.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2024 was $183.9 million compared to $138.3 million in 2023, 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 income tax payments and refunds, as well as by the timing of payments of accounts payable and collections of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $448.3 million and total outstanding debt of $500.0 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.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin3	~33%	31.7%	~130 bps

“Being in the pharmacy space for a long time, I understand the pain points that consumers face in getting access to their medications. I believe GoodRx is poised to leverage its core capabilities, deepen its relationships across the pharmacy ecosystem, and drive to a broader solution set to enhance access to medications at affordable prices for consumers,” said Chris McGinnis, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.

Wendy and I are taking a disciplined approach to guidance, ensuring we provide visibility where we have conviction while allowing room to adapt as we gain greater clarity.

1		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 fourth quarter and full year 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 first quarter and full year of 2025. For the full year 2023, revenue excluding the $10.0 million client contract termination payment represents Adjusted Revenue. 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.
2		Sum of Monthly Active Consumers (MACs) for Q4'24 and subscribers to our subscription plans as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Key Operating Metrics below for definitions of Monthly Active Consumers and subscription plans.
3		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, 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 fourth 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 December 31, 2024 and subscribers to our subscription plans as of December 31, 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, 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.

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:
