Connecting over 60% of U.S.
−Removed: healthcare providers and millions of
−Removed: their patients through an intelligent technology platform embedded within a proprietary point-of-care network, OptimizeRx helps
−Removed: patients start and stay on their medications.
−Removed: Historically,
−Removed: our revenue was generated primarily through the facilitation of financial messages to health care providers via their EHR and ePrescribe
−Removed: systems using the OptimizeRx proprietary network to solve the ever-increasing communication barriers between pharmaceutical representatives
−Removed: and healthcare providers that have presented in the rapidly changing healthcare industry.
−Removed: Over time, as the demand for communication
−Removed: of an increasing variety of different health information between life science companies, providers, and patients continued to rise, our
−Removed: platform has expanded to encompass additional solutions that enable healthcare providers to access information for patients at the point
−Removed: These solutions include brand messaging, therapeutic support messaging, brand support, and innovative patient engagement services,
−Removed: all of which now make up a significant portion of our total revenue.
−Removed: strategic focus remains on growing our existing client base and generating greater and more consistent revenues in part through our continued
−Removed: shift in our business model toward enterprise level engagements with recurring revenue streams, while also broadening our platform with
−Removed: innovative proprietary solutions such as our TelaRep™ virtual communication solution and our AI-powered real-world evidence solution
−Removed: which uses sophisticated proprietary algorithms to derive additional revenue from our existing network.
−Removed: In addition, we have continued
−Removed: to expand our team in preparation for future growth aspirations, which may be supplemented with future acquisitions and other strategic
−Removed: collaborations and investments.
−Removed: Our strategy for driving revenue growth is also expected to work in tandem with our efforts to increase
−Removed: margin and profitability using the aforementioned recurring revenue models that have inherently higher margins.
−Removed: the business continues to grow, operating expenses are expected to increase much more slowly than revenue.
−Removed: following discussion includes an analysis and comparison of the Company’s 2021 and 2020 fiscal year results of operations, liquidity
−Removed: and capital resources, and critical accounting policies.
−Removed: Business Update
−Removed: COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented challenges in the healthcare industry which increased the demand for unique solutions ranging
−Removed: from access to accurate and timely information to increasing the accessibility of medications and care management.
−Removed: We also leveraged
−Removed: our digital platform to provide telehealth capabilities for healthcare providers to adapt to COVID-19 restrictions.
−Removed: the beginning of the pandemic, we transitioned our global workforce to working remotely to maintain the health and safety of our employees.
−Removed: Governments of cities, states, and countries globally imposed restrictions on travel and business operations, which curtailed various
−Removed: means of performing business and marketing activities such as the attending of health IT conferences.
−Removed: We are conducting business with
−Removed: certain modifications to employee travel and employee work locations.
−Removed: In addition, we have implemented health and safety policies in
−Removed: our offices to enable our employees to safely return to traditional working arrangements.
−Removed: We will continue to actively monitor the situation
−Removed: and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we
−Removed: determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, and shareholders.
−Removed: COVID-19 pandemic did not have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations in 2021, and we currently do not
−Removed: expect the results of future operations and our near-and-long-term financial position and growth prospects to be negatively impacted
−Removed: by the pandemic given the nature of the business and the increased demand for digital health solutions.
−Removed: pertaining to risk factors as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic can be found in Item 1A.
−Removed: Risk Factors.
−Removed: Performance Indicators
−Removed: developed a number of key performance indicators, and intend to monitor these going forward, to evaluate our business, measure our performance,
−Removed: identify trends affecting our business and make strategic decisions.
−Removed: revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer.
−Removed: Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer is calculated by taking the
−Removed: total revenue the company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies
−Removed: by 2020 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by the total number of the aforementioned pharmaceutical manufacturers that
−Removed: our solutions helped support over that time period.
−Removed: The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding”
−Removed: with key customers within its largest customer vertical and believe it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress
−Removed: in penetrating this important customer segment.
−Removed: The increase in the average in 2021 as compared to 2020 is primarily the result of our
−Removed: focus on signing larger and more comprehensive deals.
−Removed: Average revenue
−Removed: per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer
−Removed: of top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers that are customers.
−Removed: Percent of top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers that are customers is calculated
−Removed: by taking the number of revenue generating customers that are pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The
−Removed: top 20 pharma companies by 2020 revenue” over the last 12 months, which is then divided by 20—which is the number of pharmaceutical
−Removed: manufacturers included in the aforementioned list.
−Removed: The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in penetrating key customers
−Removed: within its largest customer vertical and believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating
−Removed: this important customer segment.
−Removed: The increase from 2020 to 2021 reflects continued penetration into this core customer base and reflects
−Removed: two new top 20 pharma customers in 2021.
−Removed: Percent of top
−Removed: 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers that are customers
−Removed: of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers.
−Removed: Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical
−Removed: manufacturers is calculated by taking the total revenue the company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce
−Removed: Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2020 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by our consolidated revenue
−Removed: over the same period.
−Removed: The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers
−Removed: within its largest customer vertical and believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating

−Removed: The retention rate in 2020 was increased as a result of unplanned disruption to the industry caused by the Covid-19
−Removed: Our customers shifted funds previously designated for in-person events to digital marketing throughout 2020.
−Removed: By 2021, while
−Removed: the pandemic continued, there was less disruption and customers shifted some funds back to traditional channels.

+Added: companies as customers, and our revenues are concentrated in these customers.
+Added: Loss of one of more of our larger customers could have a
+Added: negative impact on our operating results.
+Added: Our top five customers represented 39% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.
+Added: In each of 2022 and 2021, we had one customer that each represented more than 10% of our revenues.
+Added: In general, the pharmaceutical brand marketing
+Added: industry experiences seasonal trends that affect the vast majority of participants in the pharmaceutical digital marketing industry.

+Added: Federal Reserve raising interest rates have led to economic uncertainty.
+Added: In addition, high
+Added: levels of employee turnover across the pharmaceutical industry as well as fewer number of U.S.
+Added: drug approvals could create
+Added: additional certainty within our target customer markets.
+Added: Historically, during periods of economic uncertainty and downturns,

+Added: The impact on 2022 expense for such market-based
+Added: award in 2022 was $6.1 million.
+Added: The increase in other sales, general, and administrative
+Added: expense is due to higher salaries, wages, and benefits and other human resources related costs as a result of the expansion of, and investment
+Added: in, our team to support additional growth.
During 2022, we hired 12 net additional employees.
−Removed: We expect our compensation expense to continue to increase in 2022,
−Removed: as a result of the full year impact of 2021 hires and new hires in 2022.
−Removed: based compensation increased by $2.3 million from $3.2 million in 2020 to $5.5 million in 2021 primarily because of more employees and

−Removed: Our stock price was higher,
−Removed: on average, in 2021 than 2020.
−Removed: In addition, we hired 3 high level executives, which tend to have larger awards, and awarded the CEO a

−Removed: With the assistance of an outside legal firm, we undertook a comprehensive governance
−Removed: review of our bylaws, board charters, equity compensation plan, and overall corporate policies.
−Removed: The cost of this review, partially offset
−Removed: by a reduction in the cost of our audit, accounts for the increase.
−Removed: compensation increased slightly from 2020 to 2021 due to the full year impact of an increase in the size of our board in 2020.
−Removed: This represents
−Removed: only the cash portion of the compensation.
−Removed: relations increased in 2021as a result of hiring a new investor relations firm, as well as increased activity in the area.

−Removed: was developed.
−Removed: infrastructure costs increased due to continued investment in our operating systems to facilitate new products as well as the implementation

−Removed: costs increased as we have purchased more data, primarily to aid in our selling effort and allow customers to target their messages more
−Removed: appropriately based on this data, thereby increasing our ability to charge premium prices for more highly targeted messages.
−Removed: and exclusivity costs, which represent payments to partners for access and/or exclusivity, increased because of new agreements signed.
−Removed: These payments are usually made in lump sums and expensed over the term of the contracts.
−Removed: These expenses are an important part of our

−Removed: 2021 levels as we continue to invest in the growth of our business.
−Removed: facility, and other miscellaneous costs increased from 2020 to 2021.
−Removed: The main reason for the change related to a higher level of activity

−Removed: Accounting Policies
−Removed: “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and

−Removed: accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2021;
−Removed: however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition,
−Removed: calculation of revenue share expense (cost of revenues), stock-based compensation, capitalization and related amortization of intangible
−Removed: assets and impairment of assets.
−Removed: Following is a summary of those policies.
−Removed: of revenue requires evidence of a contract, probable collection of proceeds, and completion of substantially all performance obligations.

+Added: Critical Accounting Estimates
+Added: Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition
+Added: and results of operations are based upon the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
+Added: accepted accounting principles.
+Added: The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions
+Added: that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
+Added: expenses during the periods presented.
+Added: Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
+Added: See Note 2 to the Consolidated
+Added: Financial Statements for a discussion of significant accounting policies.
+Added: Actual results may differ materially from these estimates due
+Added: to different assumptions or conditions.
+Added: The following areas all require the use of subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions:
+Added: Recognition of revenue requires evidence of a
+Added: contract, probable collection of proceeds, and completion of substantially all performance obligations.
+Added: We use a 5-step model to recognize
These steps are:
−Removed: identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations

This content delivery for a customer is referred to as a program.
−Removed: Unless otherwise specified,
−Removed: revenue is recognized based on the selling price to customers.
−Removed: contracts are generally all less than one year and the primary performance obligation is delivery of messages or other forms of content,
−Removed: but the contract may contain additional services.
−Removed: Additional services may include program design, which is the design of the content

−Removed: We consider set up and reporting services to be complimentary to the primary performance obligation

−Removed: to be performance obligations separate from the delivery of messages.
−Removed: the content is distributed through the platform and network of channel partners (a transaction), these transactions are recorded, and

−Removed: Revenue for transactions can be realized based on a price per message, a

−Removed: We recognize setup fees that are required for integrating client offerings and campaigns into the rule-based content delivery system
−Removed: and network over the life of the initial program, based either on time, or units delivered, depending upon which is most appropriate
−Removed: in the specific situation.
−Removed: Should a program be cancelled before completion, the balance of set up revenue is recognized at the time of
−Removed: cancellation, as set up fees are nonrefundable.

−Removed: These partner specific solutions are frequently similar to our own solutions and revenue recognition for these programs
−Removed: is the same as described above.

−Removed: There were no programs recorded on a net basis in the years presented.

−Removed: as a result of a 2014 legal settlement in an amount equal to the greater of 10% of financial messaging distribution revenues generated
−Removed: through our integrated network, or $0.37 per financial message distributed through our integrated network.
