Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining OptimizeRx's Second Quarter Fiscal 26 Earnings Conference Call. With us today is Chief Executive Officer, Stephen L. Silvestro. He is joined by Chief Financial and Strategy Officer Edward Stelmakh, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer Marion Odence-Ford and Chief Business Officer Andrew D'Silva. At the conclusion of today's call, I will provide some important cautions regarding the forward-looking statements made by management during today's call. The company will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful in evaluating operating performance. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures can be found in today's earnings release as well as in the Investor Relations section of the company's website. I would also like to remind everyone that today's call is being recorded and will be available for replay on the Investor Relations section of the company's website. With that, I will turn the call over to OptimizeRx's Chief Executive Officer, Stephen L. Silvestro.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Thank you, operator, and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us for our second quarter 26 earnings call. We are pleased to report second quarter revenue of $20.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million, both of which exceeded consensus expectations. Our results reflect continued margin expansion, disciplined operational execution, and the resilience of our operating model despite a health care marketing environment that remains dynamic. While revenue declined year over year and contracted revenue remains below prior year levels, these declines remain limited to a small number of large customers, including the one customer we discussed last quarter that again did not generate revenue this quarter, as well as customers that have made heavier use of lower margin managed service offerings in prior year periods, services from which we have been transitioning away since the acquisition of Medicx in 2023.

Outside the business with these limited customers and across the remainder of the business, we are encouraged by improving engagement and growth. At the same time, our continued investment in platform capabilities, including recent product launches and expanded programmatic initiatives, are strengthening customer engagement and our competitive position as we move into the 2027 planning cycle. Although the timing and mix of second half revenue remains subject to some variability, our first half performance, encouraging commercial momentum and current outlook support our decision to reiterate full year 2026 revenue guidance of $95 million to $100 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $21 million to $25 million. Edward will provide additional details during his prepared remarks. Over the past several quarters, we have remained focused on executing against the initiatives within our control: improving profitability, strengthening our balance sheet, expanding our technology platform, and creating new avenues for long-term growth.

I believe our second quarter results demonstrate the progress we have made across each of these priorities. While portions of the pharmaceutical marketing landscape continue to experience some budget timing variability and cautious spending behavior, we are encouraged by the continued stabilization we are seeing across many of our largest customers. More importantly, the long-term secular trends driving our business remain firmly intact. Life science organizations continue shifting toward more measurable, data-driven engagement that delivers value at the point of clinical decision making. Healthcare marketers increasingly expect AI-enabled planning, authenticated health care audiences, measurable outcomes, and seamless programmatic execution. These are precisely the areas in which OptimizeRx has invested for years, and where we believe we maintain a meaningful competitive advantage. Our existing customers continue expanding their use of our platform across additional brands, therapeutic areas, and commercial use cases.

During the quarter, we saw continued adoption of our AI-enabled audience activation platform, or DAP, which increased over 30% year-over-year, while also expanding our point-of-prescribe capabilities across both pharmaceutical and med tech customers. These solutions are powered by OptimizeRx's proprietary foundational data asset, which continues to grow as more engagement transpires across our ecosystem. We are also continuing to make progress expanding our footprint among mid-sized and emerging life science companies, which we believe represent one of the largest untapped opportunities within our commercial business. As these organizations increasingly seek enterprise-grade technology without enterprise scale or infrastructure investments, we believe our platform is uniquely positioned to meet the demand by bridging the technology gap for them and leveling the playing field for them to be able to compete with top-tier companies.

Just as important, we continue making progress transitioning more of our business toward recurring subscription revenue, particularly within our AI-enabled software offerings, which grew 25% year-over-year. Over time, we believe this transition will further improve revenue visibility while strengthening the durability and predictability of our financial model. Taken together, these trends reinforce our confidence that the underlying fundamentals of our business remain very strong. Meanwhile, during the second quarter, we announced three significant product innovations that further strengthen our competitive position while expanding our long-term opportunities at OptimizeRx. First, we announced that DeepIntent became the first health care demand side platform to integrate directly with our authenticated EHR network. This represents an important milestone in our strategy of making point-of-care media easier to access through the programmatic platforms health care marketers already rely on.

As media buying continues shifting toward programmatic workflows, we are positioning OptimizeRx as the trusted infrastructure connecting premium point-of-care inventory with the industry's leading buying platforms. The implementation is now live. Second, we introduced our patent-pending Natural Language Audience Builder, or NLAB. This AI-powered capability enables pharmaceutical marketers and agencies to build highly customized health care provider audiences using simple natural language prompts directly within DSPs and media planning platforms. By combining our proprietary health care intelligence with intuitive AI-driven workflows, we are making it significantly easier for marketers to build targeted audiences while further embedding OptimizeRx technology into the planning tools our customers are already using today. Finally, we launched CopayQ, our next generation copay activation solution powered by real-time prescribing intent.

Medication affordability remains one of the largest barriers to patient adherence, and CopayQ delivers savings information directly within the prescribing workflow at the exact moment physicians are making treatment decisions. By combining real-time intent signals with our industry-leading point-of-care and point-of-prescribe capabilities, we are helping life science organizations improve patient access while delivering stronger commercial outcomes for their brands. Individually, each of these launches represents an important advancement for our platform. Collectively, they demonstrate something even more significant: that we have entered a new phase of innovation as a company. We are evolving beyond being solely a point-of-care marketing company into being the operating system for pharmaceutical marketers. Our technology infrastructure is connecting pharmaceutical marketers, media agencies, demand side platforms, health care providers, and patients at scale through authenticated clinical workflows.

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into commercial planning and as health care advertising continues migrating towards privacy-safe programmatic execution, we believe our combination of proprietary health care data, authenticated clinical inventory, and workflow integration creates a highly differentiated platform with significant long-term growth potential. This strategic evolution not only expands our addressable market, but also creates additional recurring revenue opportunities that we believe will be increasingly meaningful over time. Before turning the call over to Edward, I would like to share an important leadership update regarding our finance organization. Over nearly five years as Chief Financial Officer, including previously as our Chief Operations Officer and most recently as our Chief Strategy Officer, Edward Stelmakh and the Board of Directors have mutually agreed on a planned leadership transition effective 12/31/2026.

That reflects both the depth of talent within our organization and our commitment to prudent financial stewardship. Over the past five years, Edward has played an instrumental role in transforming our financial foundation and positioning OptimizeRx for long-term success. Under his leadership, we have significantly expanded our gross margins and operating margins, strengthened our operating discipline, successfully refinanced our debt to materially improve our cost of capital, completed the acquisition and integration of Medicx, executed the divestiture of noncore assets to sharpen our strategic focus, and built a deep, highly capable finance and strategy organization that positions the company well for the future. Just as importantly, Edward has helped establish the financial discipline and operational rigor that support our long-term strategy and our commitment to sustainable shareholder value creation.

As part of our long-term succession planning process, we are pleased to announce that Andy D'Silva will succeed Edward as our Chief Financial Officer effective 01/01/2027. Andy has most recently served as our Chief Business Officer and has worked closely with Edward and the Board of Directors and our executive leadership team on our financial strategy, capital allocation, investor relations, corporate development, and long-range planning. He has been deeply involved in many of the strategic initiatives that have helped transform the business over the past several years, making him well prepared to lead our finance organization as CFO. We are also pleased to announce that Heather Favazza will be promoted to Chief Accounting Officer effective 01/01/2027. Heather has been an outstanding leader within our financial organization and played an instrumental role as our corporate controller for the last eight years, strengthening our accounting operations, financial reporting, internal controls, and overall finance infrastructure.

Her promotion reflects both the strength of our accounting organization and the deep bench of leadership that we have built over the past several years. To ensure a seamless transition, Edward will remain our Chief Financial and Strategy Officer through the end of 2026 and has also agreed to remain in the role of strategic adviser in 2027 to ensure ample time for thoughtful and seamless transfer of responsibilities, while allowing Andy and Heather to continue working closely with him as they assume their expanded leadership roles. Transitions like these are strongest when they are the result of thoughtful planning rather than necessity, and that is exactly what this represents. I have tremendous confidence in Andy and Heather, and we are equally grateful that Edward will continue supporting the company throughout the transition. On behalf of our Board of Directors and everyone at OptimizeRx, I want to thank Edward for his outstanding leadership and the many contributions he has made during his tenure. With that, I will turn the call over to Edward.

Edward StelmakhChief Financial and Strategy Officer

Thanks, Steve, and thank you for the kind words. While this is certainly a bittersweet moment, it is also one I approach with clarity, confidence, and optimism for the company's future. I look forward to continuing to drive our strategic priorities through the back half of 2026 and contributing to the company's mission in an advisory role in 2027. I want to extend my appreciation to the board, our leadership team, all our employees, and shareholders of this company for giving me this amazing opportunity for the last five years. It has been a true privilege to serve as their Chief Financial and Strategy Officer and I am excited to see what the future brings. Now let's turn to our financial results for Q2 2026. As always, we issued our earnings release this afternoon detailing our financial results for the second quarter ended 06/30/2026. A copy of the release is available on the Investor Relations section of our website and additional information will be included in our upcoming Form 10-Q. Second quarter revenue was $20.5 million, a decrease of 30% from the $29.2 million we recognized during the same period in 2025.

The revenue reduction was largely contained to a limited number of large customers that utilized the lower margin managed services in 2025, an offering from which we have been transitioning away since acquiring Medicx in 2023, and one of our large customers in 2025 that has not generated revenue this quarter, as well as a decrease in demand due to macroeconomic factors including MFN pricing dynamics. Our expenses for the quarter ended 06/30/2026 decreased $5.4 million year-over-year to $20.6 million, primarily driven by lower cost of revenue, despite being impacted by $1.7 million in severance expense associated with our previously announced reduction in force. The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily attributed to a favorable product mix resulting from not having any DTC managed service revenue this quarter and a favorable channel partner mix. We believe various margin optimization strategies we implemented over the last 18 months continue to yield meaningful benefits.

As a result, we now expect gross margins to normalize into the high 60% to low 70% range for full year 2026. Meanwhile, we had a net loss of $700 thousand, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended 06/30/2026, as compared to a net income of $1.5 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, for the same three month period in 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, our net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $3.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, as compared to a non-GAAP net income of $3.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share in the same year-ago period. Our adjusted EBITDA was $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $5.8 million during the second quarter of 2025. Operating cash flow was $8.1 million for the first half of 2026, and we ended the quarter with a $24.1 million cash balance, as compared to $23.4 million on 12/31/2025. As we highlighted in May, our term loan with Blue Torch Capital was refinanced with Fifth Third Bank, from which we fully drew down the $25 million term loan and have access to a $10 million revolver.

Our current interest rate on the term loan with Fifth Third Bank is SOFR plus 2.25%. With that said, we paid $5.3 million in principal during the quarter, which was $5 million ahead of our payment schedule, leaving our outstanding debt at the end of June at $19.7 million. Furthermore, subsequent to the quarter end, we paid off an additional $3 million in debt. At this time, we intend to deploy at least a portion of our free cash flow to pay down the principal on our loan faster as we look to continuously lower our cost of capital. With that said, we continue to believe that our healthy balance sheet will help us execute against our operational goals. Now let's turn to our KPIs for the second quarter of 2026. Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer now stands at $2.7 million. Net revenue retention rate dipped below prior period levels to 90%. The dip was driven primarily by a small number of large accounts optimizing spend, rather than broad-based churn.

Additionally, revenue per FTE came in at $750 thousand. While our KPIs showed decline compared to previous quarters, we have made meaningful progress on margin expansion and operating expense management, consistent with our strategy of driving profitable growth in our space. Based on our first half performance and the visibility we have into the remainder of the year, we are reaffirming our previously issued full year 2026 guidance. We continue to expect revenue in the range of $95 million to $100 million and adjusted EBITDA between $21 million and $25 million. While portions of the health care marketing environment remain dynamic, our execution year-to-date, continued product innovation, expanding book of business with select clients, and disciplined expense management give us confidence in our outlook for the balance of the year. As we noted previously, we continue to expect revenue to be weighted towards the second half of the year, consistent with the seasonal purchasing patterns of many of our customers, with Q4 being significantly higher than Q3 and likely representing 35% to 40% of our full year revenues. With that, I will turn the call back over to Steve. Steve?

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Thanks, Edward. Operator, let's now move to Q&A.

分析師問答

OperatorOperator

Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star and then 1 on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star and then 2 if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary for you to pick up your handset before pressing the star key. One moment, while we poll for questions. First question comes from Ryan Daniels from William Blair. Please proceed with your questions, Ryan.

DustinAnalyst (on behalf of William Blair)

Hey, everyone. This is Dustin on the call for Ryan. Thanks for taking our question. Maybe just first wondering if there is an update on the larger client you have spoken about previously. I know you probably cannot get into too many specifics, but wondering at a high level, what is the update there, and what are the expectations that are baked into the back half in relation to that client? Thank you.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Hey, Dustin. Thanks for the question. We right now do not have any expectation baked into the back half for that large client returning, but we are starting to see some progress around it that will definitely positively impact the back half. How much? We are not really prepared to say at this point, but discussions are open and we are actively engaging there. We also just announced—you may have seen the announcement—our Chief Marketing Officer is coming from that client as well. So I think he is prepared to help us bridge the gap there and get some things right where we had the missteps that we talked about last quarter on the commercial front.

DustinAnalyst (on behalf of William Blair)

Okay. Great. Understood. Thank you for that. So you have talked about the strategic importance of DSP. Just wondering if you can talk more about the progress with DeepIntent and if you are making any inroads with other DSPs that are out there. I think you have stated that DSP could double your business over the next two years. Just what does the growth curve look like for the DSP opportunity there over the next 24 months? Thank you.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

You got it. So we have got great news. We went live with DeepIntent as of this last week, and that is pretty exciting for us as a business. We are now starting to see bid flow happen over the platform. I do not really think we are ready to say what the uptick looks like in terms of the next couple of weeks and months, but we do think it will be very, very meaningful. And I would also say right now, in terms of just the broader programmatic environment, roughly 60% of the buys in this specific space are occurring through programmatic channels. Our comment around the ability to scale the business through that ecosystem is directly tied to the number of buys that are happening through these DSPs, and it is not a place those are funds that we have had access to in the past. We are expanding our near-term accessible market. That is a little bit more color around the commentary. So more to come around that. We do have other DSPs that we are speaking with, but nothing that we are ready to announce on this call. Stay tuned.

DustinAnalyst (on behalf of William Blair)

Okay. Got it. Thanks for that. And then just lastly for us, there has been some discussion with the FDA and HHS about eliminating the adequate provision framework for pharma advertising, and that requires more disclosures with the DTC ads. How are you thinking about that potential impact on pharma marketing budgets and general allocation? Could that lead to some shift in TV and potentially create some incremental demand for your digital and point-of-care engagements? Thanks.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Yeah. No problem, Dustin. We see those moves as favorable for our business per your last comment. Anything that would limit the ability to execute across other DTC channels where we may not be engaged at scale will automatically push funds into some of the HCP-focused marketing channels where we are connected and that are sort of our bread and butter. We have been waiting on that with bated breath. We are not forecasting it because it is impossible for us to predict what the FDA and HHS are or are not going to do, but we are well positioned that if they do make that decision, we will benefit. It will not just be us; everybody in our space that is focused on HCP will disproportionately benefit. So great question.

DustinAnalyst (on behalf of William Blair)

All right. Thank you very much.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

You got it.

OperatorOperator

Thank you. Thank you. The next question comes from Richard Baldry from ROTH Capital Partners. Please proceed with your questions, Richard.

Richard BaldryAnalyst (ROTH Capital Partners)

Thanks. If we look at your adjusted EBITDA guidance, the implication is the second half would be somewhere between $13 million to $17 million. Can you talk about, under that backdrop, how your capital allocation strategy might start to evolve? Do you still see pretty much an exclusive focus on reducing debt? Or do you think more of a balance between that and share buybacks at current depressed levels?

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Yeah. Edward, I will let you take that one.

Edward StelmakhChief Financial and Strategy Officer

Yep. No problem, Richard. How are you? I think our strategy, as we said in the prepared remarks, will be first to pay down the debt. We are down to $16.7 million of outstanding principal, and then secondly, if the price of the stock continues to drop, we have a 10b5-1 in place to trigger buying, with a $10 million approved stock buyback. Thanks.

Richard BaldryAnalyst (ROTH Capital Partners)

Then in terms of the second half rebound to revenues that is implied in guidance, how much of that is visible contracted? Or how much of that is really just assuming seasonal patterns that you have seen in the past sort of repeat themselves?

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Yeah. I mean, I think, Richard, first of all, it is good to hear your voice. Right now, we are still trending more towards 2024-style contracted revenue seasonality versus 2025. That is why we are reiterating the guide that we have out there right now versus increasing the guide. We do think the seasonality that we have experienced in previous years is pretty much what we should anticipate for the back half of this year and we are starting to already see that. The visibility that we have is what we have put out there. Anything that is incremental above and beyond that, on the next earnings call, if we have more visibility with contracted revenue, we will be happy to provide an update. But no changes right now. We need to iron out the one major client disruption that we have and see what Q3 and Q4 put out before we do any updates. I would say good, solid progress as we approach the back half now.

Richard BaldryAnalyst (ROTH Capital Partners)

Maybe looking at, to call it top of the funnel, you talk a little bit about non-top-20 opportunities, whether that is new logos or existing. How are they acting sort of by contrast to the top 20 who have seen obvious issues with MFN, etcetera?

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

They are growing—they are growing at an accelerated rate is what I would tell you. Outside of the top 20 are some of our fastest-growing lists just this last couple of months, and we are really excited to see that. We will have more to announce around that in the future, but our mid-tier long-tail strategy is proving out and we are excited with the progress we are seeing there. We've got a gap to fill on that one top account where the disruption was, and that is going to take a little bit of time. But with the comeback of that plus the mid-tier, we think we are entering the back half of this year and setting ourselves up for 2027 really nicely.

Richard BaldryAnalyst (ROTH Capital Partners)

And last for me then, back to the top 20: excluding the one challenging customer, can you talk about activity levels within there—whether it is discussions, pipeline, new opportunities? How is that activity level, non-quantifiably, versus what had been sort of at the depth of MFN?

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Activity level has definitely increased. The strategic discussions are starting to flow a lot more than they were previously—beginning of the year, particularly Q4 coming into Q1 and to a degree a little bit of Q2, there was a lot of consternation around MFN. I think, for the most part, manufacturers are in a place where they sort of know what the new normal looks like and they are prepared for that. We are starting to see engagement happen across the board. The mid-tier long tail is engaging faster because they have not really been the targets of the administration and they have been able to kind of do business as usual and accelerate, viewing it almost as a time to skip ahead and compete more effectively with the top 20. So that has been good for them. We are starting to see people within our top 10 and top 20 really reengage in meaningful ways. I am not ready to say yet that Q4 is going to be lightning in a bottle buy-ups like we talk about from time to time—those things happen—but we are getting some really positive buying signals going into the back half of the year that look very good.

Richard BaldryAnalyst (ROTH Capital Partners)

Thanks for your answers.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

You got it. Great to talk to you, Richard. Look forward to catching up soon. Thank you.

OperatorOperator

Next question comes from Eric Martinuzzi from Lake Street. Please proceed with your questions, Eric.

Eric MartinuzziAnalyst (Lake Street)

Yes. Your comments on most favored nation— it sounds like we have worked through the disruption. The other issues that you talked about, at least last quarter, were macro issues weighing on budgets, and that was everything from inflation to oil to geopolitical uncertainty. Is that still an overhang on spending by the top 20?

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Hey, Eric. Thank you for the question. It is still a little bit of an overhang. I think there is still some consternation around macro, and pharma has been one of the largest targets of the administration—not just for MFN but a whole myriad of reasons—so they have been a little conservative with budgets. But, again, per my response to Richard, we are starting to see a lot of that normalize now in the back half and they are starting to spend more across the board to drive patient capture for the back half of the year, and I think we will benefit from that. I do think there are other strategic things happening in the marketplace—potential acquisitions, some mergers, a few LOE events—so they will navigate those things. But by and large, the macro stuff that we discussed last quarter is starting to normalize in their approach to spend.

Eric MartinuzziAnalyst (Lake Street)

Starting to normalize. Okay. And then, Edward, certainly enjoyed working with you. I know we have got you for another five months, and Andy, congratulations on the pending promotion here. Wanted to ask about operating expense. I know you guys went through a bit of a cost move in the second quarter. Is that all behind us? In other words, is this kind of a normalized operating expense run rate that we should use for the third quarter?

Edward StelmakhChief Financial and Strategy Officer

Yeah. I think the current run rate from a cash OpEx standpoint should stay kind of around this rate. The only variable there may be things like bonus accruals depending on how results commence versus budget. But generally speaking, I think we will be in that range.

Eric MartinuzziAnalyst (Lake Street)

Got it. Thank you.

OperatorOperator

Thanks, Eric. The next question comes from Constantine Davides from Citizens. Please proceed with your questions, Constantine.

Constantine DavidesAnalyst (Citizens)

Thanks. Just a question on the margin profile of the business. It looks like you have lifted that outlook. So I guess a couple of questions on that. First, is that a sustainable level of profitability, or is it more of a 2026 profile that you are talking about? Number one. Number two, what drove the upside in the second quarter? I think you said channel mix, but I just wanted to drill into that a little bit more. And then third point on this, just your latest thinking around how profitability changes as you layer in more as you tap into the DSP market over time and, I guess more specifically, the economics of those arrangements compared to traditional engagements.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Sure. Happy to chime in. It is good to hear from you, Constantine. I think we are setting a new level of profitability for the business and making sure that we are communicating that clearly. It is not episodic; that will really be the new normal. You will probably see us outperform that a little bit from time to time, but that should be the baseline expectation of the business going forward. Going into the macro DSP ecosystem, we do not expect that the level of profitability will drop; it will sustain the same level that we are guiding to now. Most of that is being driven by favorable channel mix. As I have shared on previous calls, and Edward and Andy have done the same, we have been able to bring on additional channel partners that have helped us manage our gross margin and thus have been transformational for the business. Even with the disruption in top-line revenue, we have been able to continue to generate good, solid EBITDA and cash flow and pay down the debt— all the things we have been talking about on these calls. We are feeling pretty bullish around profitability in general and our ability to continue to generate cash and pay down the debt. So pending we get the top line back in line, which we believe will happen, the profitability of the business will continue to follow suit. We are excited about that. Eddie, anything else you would add?

Edward StelmakhChief Financial and Strategy Officer

Oh, sorry. Yeah. I will add one quick thing. Constantine, when we think about our business, we are really managing the business to a high 60% gross margin. You are going to have favorable quarters like you saw the last two quarters, but that is how we think about it internally and how we are going to manage the business. When you are looking at your models, just keep that in mind.

Constantine DavidesAnalyst (Citizens)

Got it. And I guess, not to belabor the point, but in the past you have talked about becoming a sustainable Rule of 40 company. Steve and Andy and you have all talked about this—I'm just wondering what your latest view is in terms of is that still an objective? Do you think, as you look out, maybe you will prioritize growth a little bit more than you had in your prior thinking? Any comments there would be helpful. Thanks.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Yeah. No problem. Go ahead, Edward.

Edward StelmakhChief Financial and Strategy Officer

Yeah. Okay. Thanks, Steve. Absolutely. Mainly because this year is a bit of an anomaly for us. The profitability threshold has been set—you can see this business can be highly profitable even in a soft year. Once growth returns, which we are confident it will in 2027, it is not going to take much to get back to Rule of 40. My view is absolutely we are going to be right back at it in 2027.

OperatorOperator

Constantine, does that conclude your question?

Constantine DavidesAnalyst (Citizens)

I am all set. Thank you.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Okay. You got it. Thanks, Constantine.

OperatorOperator

Thank you. That does conclude our Q&A session. Mr. Silvestro, I would like to hand it to you, sir.

Stephen L. SilvestroChief Executive Officer

Thank you, operator. As we close today's call, I would like to leave you with three thoughts. First, we continue to execute our strategy while delivering disciplined financial performance. Our second quarter results demonstrate the strength of our operating model and our team's ability to balance profitability even in years where headwinds are present with continued investment in innovation. Second, we believe OptimizeRx is uniquely positioned at the intersection of several powerful long-term trends that are reshaping the life sciences commercialization environment. Healthcare marketers are increasingly demanding AI-enabled planning, authenticated health care audiences, measurable outcomes, and programmatic activation across clinical workflows. We have spent years building the infrastructure to support this moment of change in the industry. We are best positioned to be the operating system for pharma marketers because of the data-driven technology that we have built.

The announcements we made this quarter—from our DeepIntent partnership to the launch of NLAB, our Natural Language Audience Builder, and CopayQ—are all examples of how we are prioritizing a culture of innovation and expanding our platform to create additional opportunities for sustainable recurring growth. Importantly, these innovations do not represent isolated product launches. Together, they further strengthen the network effects within our platform while increasing the value we deliver to pharmaceutical manufacturers, agency partners, health care providers, and ultimately to patients. Third, we remain committed to disciplined execution and long-term shareholder value creation. Our priorities remain clear: continue expanding our AI-enabled platform capabilities, increase utilization of our proprietary HCP and DTC networks, accelerate adoption of our recurring software solutions, expand programmatic access through additional strategic partnerships, and deliver profitable, sustainable growth while maintaining disciplined capital allocation.

We believe the investments we have made over the past several years have positioned OptimizeRx to capitalize on the continued digital transformation occurring across health care. While the market environment may continue to experience periods of variability, our long-term opportunity has never been more compelling. It is an exciting time to be a part of the OPRX story. Before we conclude, I would like to again recognize Edward for his tremendous leadership and contributions to OptimizeRx in the past five years. He has been an outstanding partner, trusted adviser, and leader helping transform our financial foundation while positioning the company for its next phase of growth. On behalf of our Board, our employees, and our shareholders: Edward, thank you very much for everything that you have done for OptimizeRx. Finally, I would like to thank our employees for their continued dedication and execution, our customers for their partnership and trust, and our shareholders for their ongoing support. We appreciate you joining us today and look forward to updating you on the continued progress in the quarter. Operator, back to you.

OperatorOperator
