Action:ReiteratedDate:02/27/26
The score reflects improving financial quality (stronger balance sheet and positive cash generation) but is held back by weak technical momentum and management guidance pointing to lower 2026 revenue and EBITDA amid continued pressure in the legacy prescription transactions business. Valuation is not low enough (P/E ~28.5) to fully offset these near-term growth risks, despite encouraging growth in Pharma Direct.
Positive Factors
De-risked balance sheet
Material debt reduction and a larger equity base in 2025 materially lower refinancing and solvency risk. A healthier balance sheet preserves financial optionality to fund strategic investments, absorb partner shocks, and maintain capital returns, supporting multi-quarter resilience.
Consistent cash generation
Sustained operating and free cash flow provide a durable funding source for reinvestment in growth (Pharma Direct, subscriptions), opportunistic buybacks, and working capital, reducing dependence on external financing and enabling multi-quarter execution of strategic pivots.
Strategic pivot: Pharma Direct & platform scale
Rapid Pharma Direct growth, deep manufacturer partnerships and large consumer reach (nearly 300M annual visits) shift GoodRx toward higher-growth, manufacturer‑funded programs. This structural move diversifies revenue away from low-margin transactions and can lift long-term growth and margins if execution scales.
Negative Factors
Core prescription transaction decline
A sustained decline in prescription transactions and active users undermines the company’s traditional volume-driven economics. Reduced transaction flow lowers fee income and platform leverage, making durable recovery dependent on replacing lost marketplace volume or materially higher margins elsewhere.
Unit economics reset / lower fees
Renegotiated lower partner fees trade near-term take-rate for predictability but compress per-transaction economics. Lowered unit economics can structurally reduce gross margins and long-term revenue per user unless offset by higher volumes, new higher-margin channels, or sustained manufacturer revenue growth.
2026 guidance implies contraction
Company is explicitly accepting a near-term revenue and EBITDA step-down to invest in strategic priorities. While potentially constructive long-term, this creates execution risk over the next 2–6 months: investments must scale to offset lost legacy income or the profitability trajectory could deteriorate further.

GoodRx Holdings Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionGoodRx Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiaries, offers information and tools that enable consumers to compare prices and save on their prescription drug purchases in the United States. The company operates a price comparison platform that provides consumers with curated, geographically relevant prescription pricing, and access to negotiated prices through GoodRx codes that are used to save money on prescriptions across the United States. It also offers other healthcare products and services, including subscriptions, pharma manufacturer solutions, and telehealth services. It serves pharmacy benefit managers that manage formularies and prescription transactions, including establishing pricing between consumers and pharmacies. The company was incorporated in 2015 and is headquartered in Santa Monica, California.
How the Company Makes MoneyGoodRx generates revenue through several key streams. The primary source of income comes from the fees it earns when consumers use its platform to obtain discounts on prescription medications. When a user redeems a coupon at a pharmacy, GoodRx receives a transaction fee from the pharmacy or pharmacy benefit manager (PBM). Additionally, GoodRx partners with healthcare providers and telehealth services, earning revenue from telehealth consultations and prescriptions facilitated through its platform. The company also explores advertising opportunities and partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, allowing for additional income through sponsored listings and promotions. These diverse revenue streams contribute to GoodRx's overall earnings, leveraging both consumer engagement and partnerships within the healthcare ecosystem.

Monthly Active Consumers
Shows the number of unique users engaging with the platform each month, highlighting user retention, platform popularity, and potential for monetization.
Chart InsightsMonthly Active Consumers flattened after pandemic-era gains, then experienced a marked decline through 2025. Management attributes this drop to Rite Aid store closures and lower volume with a PBM partner—explaining the timing in the chart—while outsized Manufacturer Solutions growth and brand campaigns are cushioning revenue and margins. The business is shifting from transaction-driven volume to higher-margin manufacturer and partnership revenue; sustained MAC weakness would cap prescription transaction recovery and limit upside unless retail/PBM re-engagement restores user activity.

GoodRx Holdings Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 25, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 07, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call presented a mixed but strategically coherent picture: GoodRx demonstrated strong growth and momentum in its Pharma Direct business, meaningful platform scale (including a notable share of Wegovy pill self-pay fills), e-commerce expansion (tripled retail footprint, 83% QoQ order volume growth), and maintained positive adjusted EBITDA and cash reserves. However, the company is navigating material near-term headwinds in its legacy prescription transactions business—driven by lower unit economics, a 6% decline in prescription transactions revenue, a 14% drop in monthly active consumers, one-time partner impacts (~$35M–$40M), and guidance that implies revenue and EBITDA declines in 2026. Management framed 2026 as a transition year in which it will accept near-term pressure to invest in Pharma Direct, subscriptions, and longer-term durability. Given the balance of meaningful growth in strategic areas against tangible near-term financial and volume headwinds, the overall tone is balanced and transitional rather than clearly positive or negative.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Full-Year Revenue and EBITDA Stability
Full-year 2025 revenue of $796.9M (up 1% year-over-year) and full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $270.5M (up 4% year-over-year), with Q4 revenue of $194.8M and Q4 Adjusted EBITDA of $65M; 2025 results were in line with guidance and Adjusted EBITDA was just above midpoint.
Pharma Direct Rapid Growth
Pharma Direct (formerly Pharma Manufacturer Solutions) revenue grew 41% year-over-year to $151.4M in 2025 and is expected to grow at least 30% in 2026, positioning it as a key growth engine and strategic pivot toward manufacturer-driven, direct-to-consumer pricing.
Strong Consumer Reach and Platform Scale
GoodRx reported nearly 300 million site visits annually, claimed the number one prescription app, and cited nearly 25 million consumers and over 1 million healthcare professionals using the platform each year, enabling significant reach for launches and pricing programs.
Wegovy Launch Contribution and Brand Program Adoption
GoodRx estimates it accounted for nearly 20% of all Wegovy pill self-pay fills during a single week in January; the company has ~200 manufacturer partnerships and over 100 brand self-pay programs live, many integrated into TrumpRx and pharmacy partners.
Rx Marketplace and E-commerce Expansion Momentum
Tripled retail footprint in Q4, exiting the year with 6 of the top 10 retail pharmacies live on the platform, direct contracts with 9 of the top 10 retailers, and a reported order volume increase of 83% quarter-over-quarter in Q4, showing e-commerce traction.
Healthy Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase
Ended 2025 with $261.8M cash on hand and ~ $80M undrawn on the revolving credit facility; repurchased ~48.9M shares for $217.4M at an average of $4.45 per share, demonstrating capital allocation confidence from management.
Negative Updates
Decline in Prescription Transactions Revenue
Prescription transactions revenue declined 6% year-over-year to $544M in 2025; management expects continued pressure on prescription transaction revenue in 2026 driven by strategic trade-offs and lapping impacts.
Subscription Revenue and Early-Stage Monetization
Subscription revenue decreased 3% year-over-year to $83.8M in 2025; condition-specific subscriptions (e.g., weight loss, ED, hair loss) showed early promise but remain immaterial today, with management expecting more meaningful contribution in 2026.
Monthly Active Consumers Decline
Monthly active consumers fell 14% in 2025 versus the prior year; company expects MACs to flatten sequentially from Q4 2025 through Q4 2026 but the decline signals weaker engagement/volume headwinds in the core marketplace.
Unit Economics Reset and Lower Fees
Company disclosed a significant reset in unit economics driven by negotiation of lower fees across partners in exchange for longer-term predictability; this is modeled as a mid-single-digit headwind to consolidated revenue and pressures near-term unit economics.
One-Time and Partner-Related Headwinds
Rite Aid bankruptcy and lower volume through an Integrated Savings Program partner reduced 2025 revenue by approximately $35M–$40M, contributing to the year-over-year comparison and creating a lapping impact into 2026.
2026 Guidance Shows Near-Term Decline
2026 guidance projects revenue of $750M–$780M (midpoint down roughly ~4% from 2025) and Adjusted EBITDA of at least $230M (floor down ~15% from 2025's $270.5M), reflecting near-term trade-offs and investments that will depress reported financials in 2026.
Company Guidance
GoodRx guided FY2026 revenue of $750–$780 million and Adjusted EBITDA of at least $230 million (versus FY2025 revenue $796.9M and Adjusted EBITDA $270.5M); the company expects Pharma Direct (2025 revenue $151.4M, +41% YoY) to grow at least 30% in 2026 and said it will invest further in Pharma Direct and condition-specific subscriptions (weight‑loss subscriptions launched late 2025 with < $1M exit revenue but rapid acceleration). Management flagged near‑term pressure on prescription transactions revenue (PTR fell 6% YoY to $544M in 2025, with a ~$35–$40M headwind from Rite Aid/one ISP) and a mid‑single‑digit impact to consolidated revenue from reset unit economics, while modeling MACs roughly flat (exit 2025 MAC ~5.3, expected ~5.2) and monthly active consumers (down 14% in 2025) flattening sequentially from Q4‑25 through Q4‑26; Q4 revenue was $194.8M and Q4 Adjusted EBITDA $65M, and the balance sheet ended 2025 with $261.8M cash and ~$80M revolver capacity (2025 buybacks: ~48.9M shares for $217.4M at $4.45 avg).

GoodRx Holdings Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Fundamentals show improvement with a de-risked balance sheet (material debt reduction) and consistently positive operating/free cash flow, supporting stability. Offsetting this, revenue contracted sharply in 2025 and profitability has been volatile historically, creating uncertainty around the durability of the rebound.
Income Statement
62
Positive
Profitability has improved meaningfully versus earlier years, with net income turning solidly positive in 2025 on very strong gross margins. However, growth is the key concern: revenue fell sharply in 2025 after modest growth in 2024, and profitability has been volatile over the period (losses in 2020–2023 before the recent rebound). The setup suggests a stronger earnings profile today, but with elevated uncertainty around the durability of top-line demand.
Balance Sheet
76
Positive
The balance sheet strengthened materially in 2025, with debt dropping sharply and leverage moving from relatively high levels in 2020–2024 to low debt versus equity in 2025. Equity remains sizable relative to assets, and returns on equity improved significantly in 2025 after being weak/negative in prior years. Main watch-outs are the historically higher leverage and the fact that returns have not been consistently strong year-to-year.
Cash Flow
71
Positive
Cash generation is consistently positive across the period, with healthy operating cash flow and positive free cash flow each year. That said, free cash flow declined in 2025 (after improvement in 2024), and in 2025 cash conversion weakened versus the prior year (operating cash flow and free cash flow were a smaller share of net income than in 2024). Overall, cash flow quality is good, but the recent step-down in cash conversion and free cash flow growth is a near-term risk.
