+Added: of our focus on signing larger and more comprehensive deals and through supporting additional brands.
+Added: Rolling Twelve Months
+Added: Ended March 31
+Added: Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer
+Added: Percent of top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers
+Added: that are customers.
+Added: Percent of top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers that are customers is calculated by taking the number of revenue
+Added: generating customers that are pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2020
+Added: revenue” over the last 12 months, which is then divided by 20—which is the number of pharmaceutical manufacturers included
+Added: in the aforementioned list.
+Added: The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in penetrating key customers within its largest customer
+Added: vertical and believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment.
+Added: The increase from twelve months ended March 31, 2021
+Added: to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 reflects continued penetration into this core customer
+Added: base and reflects two new top 20 pharma customers in the twelve months ended March 31, 2022.
+Added: Rolling Twelve Months
+Added: Ended March 31
+Added: Percent of top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers that are customers
+Added: Percent of total revenue attributable to top
+Added: 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers.
+Added: Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers is calculated by taking
+Added: the total revenue the company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma
+Added: companies by 2020 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by our consolidated revenue over the same period.
+Added: The Company uses
+Added: this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical and
+Added: believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment.
+Added: from this core group of customers grew slightly slower than our overall revenue, enabling us to maintain a similar percentage of revenues
+Added: from this group.
+Added: Rolling Twelve Months
+Added: Ended March 31
+Added: Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers
+Added: Net revenue retention.
+Added: Net revenue retention
+Added: is a comparison of revenue generated from all customers in the previous twelve-month period to total revenue generated from the same customers
+Added: in the following twelve-month period (i.e., excludes new customer relationships for the most recent twelve-month period).
+Added: uses this metric to monitor its ability to improve its penetration with existing customers and believes it also provides investors with
+Added: a metric to chart our ability to increase our year-over-year penetration and revenue with existing customers.
+Added: retention rate in the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 was higher as a result of unplanned disruption to the industry caused by the
+Added: Covid-19 pandemic.
+Added: Our customers shifted funds previously designated for in-person events to digital marketing throughout the initial
+Added: quarters of the pandemic.
+Added: By the middle of 2021, while the pandemic continued, there was less disruption and customers shift towards digitals
+Added: solutions became more normalized.
+Added: Rolling Twelve Months
+Added: Ended March 31
+Added: Net revenue retention
+Added: Revenue per average full-time employee.
+Added: We define revenue per average full-time employee as total revenue over the last twelve months divided by the average number of employees
+Added: over the last twelve months (i.e., the average between the number of FTEs at the end of the reported period and the number of FTEs at
+Added: the end of the same period of the prior year).
+Added: The Company uses this metric to monitor the productivity of its workforce and its ability
+Added: to scale efficiently over time and believes the metric provides investors with a way to chart our productivity and scalability.
+Added: rate grew more quickly than our increase in the number of employees, allowing us to achieve more productivity.
+Added: We were able to do this

+Added: We expect that our revenues will continue to grow
+Added: for the balance of 2022 as a result of the new clients we secured in the first quarter of the year as well as those we expect to pick
+Added: up for the remainder of the year.
+Added: In addition, we believe that the foundations we laid in 2020 and 2021, including increased pharmaceutical
+Added: brands, an increased distribution network, and strong growth in our messaging solutions will result in steady growth throughout the year.
Cost of Revenues
+Added: The cost of revenue increased from $5.1 million
+Added: to $5.6 million primarily as a result of the increase in revenue.
+Added: Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased for the quarter
