GoodRx Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

Pharma Direct Revenue Increased 82% Year-Over-Year in the First Quarter

Company Raises Full Year 2026 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Expectations

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

Revenue of $194.0 million
Net income of $1.2 million; Net income margin of 0.6%
Adjusted Net Income¹ of $23.0 million; Adjusted Net Income Margin¹ of 11.9%
Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $58.3 million; Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ of 30.0%
Net cash provided by operating activities of $11.8 million

“We delivered a strong start to the year, with continued momentum across our strategic growth priorities,” said Wendy Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer of GoodRx. “Our results demonstrate that the strategy we laid out last quarter is working and that we are building a sustainable value proposition. We believe that momentum is driving durable growth and increasing value for consumers and our partners.”

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. 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.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Overview (all comparisons are made to the same period of the prior year unless otherwise noted):

Revenue decreased 4% to $194.0 million compared to $203.0 million.

Prescription transactions revenue decreased 24% to $113.7 million compared to $148.9 million, primarily driven by a decrease in the number of our Monthly Active Consumers due to the broader changes in the retail pharmacy landscape including store closures, volume reduction in one of our integrated savings programs, as well as lower unit economics which we expect to continue in the near-term as we made deliberate decisions to favor long-term durability and certainty.

Subscription revenue increased 16% to $24.4 million compared to $21.0 million, primarily driven by the introduction of our condition-specific subscription programs beginning in the second quarter of 2025 and a related increase in the number of subscription plans.

Pharma Direct (formally GoodRx Pharma Direct) revenue increased 82% to $52.2 million compared to $28.6 million, driven by organic growth as we continued to expand our market penetration with pharma manufacturers and other customers, in particular consumer direct pricing.

Net income was $1.2 million compared to $11.1 million. Net income margin was 0.6% compared to 5.4%. Adjusted Net Income¹ was $23.0 million compared to $34.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $58.3 million compared to $69.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ was 30.0% compared to 34.4%.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter was $11.8 million compared to $9.4 million in the comparable period last year. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $235.7 million and total outstanding debt of $493.8 million.

We are focused on a disciplined approach to capital allocation, centered on furthering our mission and creating stockholder 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 2026, we repurchased 5.5 million shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate of $12.6 million. As of March 31, 2026, we had $60.2 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 2026, management is anticipating the following:

$ in millions	FY 2026	FY 2025	YoY Change
Revenue	$765 - $785	$796.9	(4%) - (1%)
Adjusted EBITDA²	> $235

“We exceeded our expectations in the first quarter, driven by strong execution across the business,” said Chris McGinnis, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of GoodRx. “Pharma Direct revenue grew 82% year-over-year and subscription revenue increased 16%. We are raising our full year guidance and remain focused on sustaining growth and maintaining strong margins.”

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only. We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income or loss because we do not provide guidance for such GAAP measure 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 the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 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.

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 Direct 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. As our business continues to evolve, we are reassessing the Monthly Active Consumers metric as a primary indicator of performance to ensure it aligns with how we measure growth and profitability.

Subscription plans represent the ending subscription plan balance across our subscription offerings, GoodRx Gold, condition-specific related subscription programs (first launched in June 2025), and RxSmartSaver+ powered by GoodRx (launched in July 2025). For GoodRx Gold and RxSmartSaver+, each subscription plan may represent more than one subscriber since family subscription plans may include multiple members.

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 2025, revenue was equal to Adjusted Revenue. In addition, we expect revenue for the full year of 2026 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.
