OptimizeRx Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OptimizeRx Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they related.

Critical Audit Matter - Revenue Recognition
As disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition is a critical audit matter is that significant judgment is exercised in determining revenue recognition for customer agreements and includes the following: (1) determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together, (2) the pattern and timing of delivery for each distinct performance obligation, and (3) identification and treatment of contract terms that may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
The audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following: (1) obtaining an understanding of the design and implementation of controls related to identifying distinct performance obligations, determining the timing of revenue recognition, and estimating any variable consideration, (2) selecting of a sample of customer agreements and testing management’s identification and treatment of contract terms, (3) testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations of revenue and the associated timing of revenue recognized in the consolidated financial statements, (4) confirming data utilized to recognize revenue with third-party service providers to ensure completeness and accuracy of the data used to recognize revenue, and (5) confirming with the Company’s customers the contract terms and conditions of agreements and completion of the Company’s performance obligations under the contract.
Critical Audit Matter – Valuation of Goodwill
As discussed in Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The goodwill balance as of December 31, 2024, was $70.9 million. The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from the income and market approaches. The determination of fair value using the income approach is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions of revenue growth rates and operating margins, and selection of the discount rate. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to market multiples of earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company identified circumstances that would be indicative of possible impairment and recorded impairment expense of $7.5 million. Based on the results of the Company’s annual impairment testing as of December 31, 2024, no impairment was recognized as the fair value of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying value.
We identified the Company’s goodwill impairment assessments as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions used by management to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions of future cash flows based on estimates of revenue growth rates and gross profit margins and selection of the discount rate for the income approach, and multiples of earnings for the market approach.
