Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and in other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. A discussion of the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 has been reported previously in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Overview

Our mission is to help Americans get the healthcare they need at a price they can afford. To achieve this, we are building the leading consumer-focused digital healthcare platform in the United States. Copays have continued to trend upward in recent years and we believe as insurance providers continue to shift the cost burden more and more to consumers, consumers are now more than ever searching for sustainable affordable healthcare solutions which, in turn, strengthens our value proposition. We believe our financial results reflect the significant market demand for our offerings and the value that we provide to the broader healthcare ecosystem; however, our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been materially impacted by certain restructuring related activities undertaken by us during 2023 and the sustained effects of certain events that occurred during 2022.

Late in the first quarter of 2022, a grocery chain took actions that impacted acceptance of discounted pricing for a subset of prescription drugs from PBMs, whose pricing we promote on our platform ("grocer issue"). This had a material adverse impact on our prescription transactions revenue and Monthly Active Consumers, which was partially offset by our ability to shift certain prescription transactions to other retailers. Although the grocer issue was addressed in August 2022 and our discounted pricing has since been consistently welcomed at the point of sale by the grocery chain, beginning in the second quarter of 2022, it has had and will continue to have a sustained adverse impact on our prescription transactions revenue and Monthly Active Consumers due to consumer response to updated consumer pricing and the timing and extent of returning user levels. We have not experienced, and are not aware of, PBM-pharmacy issues at any other large volume pharmacies, with the exception of the grocery chain described above, and we believe our pharmacy and PBM relationships remain strong. For additional information, please see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors – We rely on a limited number of industry participants.”

In addition, but to a lesser extent, the acquisition of vitaCare Prescription Services, Inc. ("vitaCare") in April 2022 also had a negative impact on our net loss, net loss margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the year ended December 31, 2023. vitaCare had a higher cost of revenue due to the operational nature of the solutions it supported and had historically generated net losses and negative Adjusted EBITDA.

On August 7, 2023, our board of directors (our "Board") approved a plan (the "Restructuring Plan") to de-prioritize certain solutions provided under our pharma manufacturer solutions offering, including vitaCare, which was substantially completed at December 31, 2023. The Restructuring Plan is part of our continued strategic focus on scaling and re-balancing our cost structure to drive improved profitability. For additional information, see Note 17 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our revenue and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been impacted by costs incurred due to these restructuring activities, which are expected to result in approximately $18.0 million to $22.0 million of annualized run rate cash savings principally related to future cost of revenues. The annualized run rate cash savings are estimates and subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially.

For the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022:

•Revenue decreased 2% to $750.3 million (which was impacted by $10.0 million of client contract termination costs incurred in connection with the Restructuring Plan) from $766.6 million;

•Adjusted Revenue decreased 1% to $760.3 million (which represents revenue excluding the $10.0 million of client termination costs incurred in connection with the Restructuring Plan, which was recognized as a reduction of revenue) from $766.6 million;

•Net loss and net loss margin were $8.9 million and 1.2%, respectively, compared to net loss and net loss margin of $32.8 million and 4.3%, respectively; and

•Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin were $217.4 million and 28.6%, respectively, compared to $213.5 million and 27.8%, respectively.

Revenue, net loss and net loss margin are financial measures prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation and presentation of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, information about why we consider Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin useful and a discussion of the material risks and limitations of

these measures, please see “Key Financial and Operating Metrics—Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included within this Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Seasonality

We typically experience stronger consumer demand during the first and fourth quarters of each year, which coincide with generally higher consumer healthcare spending, doctor office visits, annual benefit enrollment season, and seasonal cold and flu trends. For our integrated savings programs, we may experience stronger prescription transactions revenue during the first half of each year since more claims are likely to be routed through GoodRx while plan members are in the deductible phase of their health plans. We may also experience stronger demand for our pharma manufacturer solutions offering during the fourth quarter of each year, which coincides with pharma manufacturers' annual budgetary spending patterns. In addition, this seasonality may impact revenue and sales and marketing expense. The grocer issue and the ongoing impact of COVID-19 may have masked some of these trends in recent periods and may continue to impact these trends in the future.

Recent Developments

On February 27, 2024, our Board authorized a new $450.0 million stock repurchase program. On February 20, 2024, we entered into the Fifth Amendment to First Lien Credit Agreement to amend our Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement to extend its maturity date from October 11, 2024 to July 11, 2025. See Note 19 in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics

We use Monthly Active Consumers, subscription plans, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to assess our performance, make strategic and offering decisions and build our financial projections. The number of Monthly Active Consumers and subscription plans are key indicators of the scale of our consumer base and a gauge for our marketing and engagement efforts. We believe these operating metrics reflect our scale, growth and engagement with consumers.

We exited the fourth quarter of 2023 with over 7 million prescription-related consumers that used GoodRx across our prescription transactions and subscription offerings. Our prescription-related consumers represent the sum of Monthly Active Consumers for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and subscribers to our subscription plans as of December 31, 2023.

Monthly Active Consumers

Monthly Active Consumers beginning with the second quarter of 2022 were impacted by the grocer issue.

Three Months Ended

Subscription Plans

Subscription plans have been impacted by a sequential decline in our subscription plans for Kroger Savings as a result of reduced marketing spend in relation to that offering. We expect our subscription plans for Kroger Savings to continue to sequentially decline through July 2024, the expected sunset of the program. Gold subscription plans increased year-over-year and accounted for 694 thousand as of December 31, 2023.

As of

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are key measures we use to assess our financial performance and are also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties because they can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods. In addition, these measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate and assess performance.

58

Table of Contents

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.

We define Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and as further adjusted, as applicable, for 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, charitable stock donation, gain on sale of business and other income or expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted Revenue.

Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures and are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as alternatives or substitutes to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain costs that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss and revenue, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Revenue, respectively, and presents net loss margin, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin:

Year Ended December 31,

Adjusted to exclude the following:

Financing related expenses (3) — 20

Payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation 1,693 1,882

Gain on sale of business (8) — (11,404)

Adjusted to exclude the following:

Client contract termination costs (9) 10,000 —

Net loss margin (10) (1.2 %) (4.3 %)

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (11) 28.6 % 27.8 %

_____________________________________________________

(1)Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2023 included $46.7 million of amortization related to certain intangible assets in connection with the Restructuring Plan, which were accelerated through December 31, 2023, the date the Restructuring Plan was substantially complete.

(2)Other expense represents the impairment loss on one of our minority equity interest investments.

(3)Financing related expenses include third party fees related to proposed financings.

(4)Acquisition related expenses principally include costs for actual or planned acquisitions including related third party fees, legal, consulting and other expenditures, and as applicable, severance costs and retention bonuses to employees related to acquisitions and change in fair value of contingent consideration. Acquisition related expenses in 2022 also included similar transaction related costs for our sale of certain technology assets of

GoodRx Care and a $18.1 million net change in fair value of contingent consideration related to our vitaCare acquisition.

(5)Restructuring related expenses include employee severance and other personnel related costs in connection with various workforce optimization and organizational changes to better align with our strategic goals and future scale. In connection with the Restructuring Plan, restructuring related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 also included (i) a loss of $7.0 million relating to the disposal of certain capitalized software that were not yet ready for their intended use; and (ii) a $10.0 million contract termination payment to a pharma manufacturer solutions client. Substantially all of the restructuring related expenses in 2022 were related to a reduction in force approved by our Board in August 2022 involving approximately 16% of the workforce of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary GoodRx, Inc.

(6)Legal settlement expenses consist of periodic settlement costs for significant and unusual litigation matters. We believe these costs do not represent recurring expenses arising in the ordinary course of business that are indicative of our overall operating performance. For the year ended December 31, 2023, legal settlement expenses represent the estimated probable net loss with respect to ongoing class action litigations. For the year ended December 31, 2022, legal settlement expenses represent a negotiated settlement with the Federal Trade Commission.

(7)Loss on operating lease assets include, as applicable for the periods presented, losses incurred relating to the abandonment or sublease of certain leased office spaces and disposal of related capitalized costs.

(8)Gain on sale of business represents the pre-tax gain recognized on the sale of certain technology assets of GoodRx Care, LLC, our telehealth platform.

(9)Client contract termination costs represent a payment to a pharma manufacturer solutions client to terminate certain contracts in connection with the Restructuring Plan, which was recognized as a reduction of revenue.

(10)Net loss margin represents net loss as a percentage of revenue.

(11)Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted Revenue.

Components of our Results of Operations

For a description of the components of our results of operations, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our revenue is primarily derived from prescription transactions revenue that is generated when pharmacies fill prescriptions for consumers, and from other revenue streams such as pharma manufacturer solutions, our subscription offerings, and our telehealth services. We consider PBMs, pharma manufacturers and consumers of our subscription and telehealth services, for which we have direct contractual agreements, to be our primary customers. We expect pharma manufacturer solutions to continue to grow as a percentage of total revenue in the near to medium term as we continue to scale and expand available services, capabilities and platforms of our pharma manufacturer solutions offering. All of our revenue has been generated in the United States.

Beginning in late 2022, we began to enter into direct contractual agreements with select pharmacies, referred to as partner pharmacies, to complement the existing contractual agreements with our PBM partners. Partner pharmacies are our customers in these arrangements. We expect to increase direct contractual relationships with more pharmacies in proportion to existing contractual agreements with our PBM partners in the near term.

Prior to December 2023, we provided consumer incentives principally in the form of discounts to a limited number of consumers on a limited number of prescription drugs for a limited time ("limited marketing promotions"). Consumer discounts on prescription drugs with partner pharmacies as our customers were recognized as a reduction of prescription transactions revenue. For consumer discounts on prescription drugs with PBMs as our customers, we evaluate whether such discounts represent payments to a customer, which are recognized as a reduction of prescription transactions revenue if no distinct benefit is received, or whether the discounts relate to limited marketing promotions, which are recognized as sales and marketing expenses. We consider various factors including whether the discounts are made available for a limited time on a limited number of prescription drugs, consumer eligibility requirements, whether discounts are targeted towards consumer transactions with specific partner pharmacies or PBMs, and whether there is involvement or reasonable expectations of our customers with regards to the discounts. In December 2023, we implemented a change in some aspects of our consumer incentives program whereby the incentives are no longer limited marketing promotions and we believe our customers can now reasonably expect to benefit from these incentives. As a result, all consumer discounts subsequent to this change are expected to be recognized as a reduction of prescription transactions revenue.

_____________________________________________________

(1)Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 included a $10.0 million contract termination payment to a pharma manufacturer solutions client in connection with our Restructuring Plan, which was recognized as a reduction of revenue. See Note 17 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Revenue

Prescription transactions revenue stayed relatively flat year-over-year, primarily as a result of a 3% increase in the number of our average Monthly Active Consumers, substantially offset by the pricing effects of the grocer issue due to an ongoing shift in the volume of prescription transactions to other retailers, which generally provide lower pricing relative to prescription transactions processed through the grocer involved, and an increase in consumer discounts pertaining to transactions processed through partner pharmacies, which were recognized as a reduction of revenue.

Subscription revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 2%, year-over year, primarily driven by a decrease in the number of subscription plans due to the anticipated sunset of Kroger Savings, resulting in 884 thousand subscription plans as of December 31, 2023, compared to 1,030 thousand as of December 31, 2022, substantially offset by the effects of the pricing increase for Gold subscribers in the first half of 2022. Given the subscription fee is higher for Gold relative to Kroger Savings, we expect the anticipated sunset of Kroger Savings will result in a higher decline in subscription plans relative to subscription revenue.

Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue decreased $14.4 million, or 14%, year-over year, primarily driven by a $10.0 million contract termination payment to a client in connection with the Restructuring Plan, which was recognized as a reduction of revenue, as well as by our increased focus on prioritizing service arrangements with high levels of recurring revenue potential relative to the prior year and moderation in spending across pharma manufacturers. Due principally to the Restructuring Plan and the related contract termination payment as described above, vitaCare contributed ($2.2) million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $5.6 million for the same period of 2022. We expect the results of the de-prioritization of certain solutions under our pharma manufacturer solutions offering in connection with the Restructuring Plan will have a sustained adverse impact on our pharma manufacturer solutions revenue in the medium term.

Table of Contents

Other revenue decreased 2% year-over-year. Apart from the Restructuring Plan as discussed above, our acquisitions and dispositions individually and in the aggregate did not materially contribute to the change in our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Costs and Operating Expenses

Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization

Cost of revenue is largely driven by the growth of our visitor, subscriber and active consumer base, as well as our offering mix. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue may vary based on the change in mix of our various offerings.

Cost of revenue increased $1.8 million, or 3%, year-over-year, primarily driven by $4.2 million of personnel related costs in connection with the Restructuring Plan and a $2.5 million year-over-year increase in hosting costs and processing fees. The impact from these drivers was partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in outsourced and in-house personnel and other costs related to consumer support and a $2.0 million decrease in fulfillment costs for certain solutions provided to customers under our pharma manufacturer solutions offering.

Product development and technology

Product development and technology expenses are primarily driven by changes in headcount and investments to support and develop our various products. We capitalize certain qualified costs related to the development of internal-use software, which may cause product development and technology expenses to vary from period to period.

Product development and technology expenses decreased $7.3 million, or 5%, year-over-year, primarily driven by a $14.7 million decrease in payroll and related costs largely due to higher capitalization of certain qualified costs related to the development of internal-use software and lower average headcount. The impact from these drivers was partially offset by a $8.0 million loss on the disposal of certain capitalized software that were not yet ready for their intended use, principally in connection with the Restructuring Plan.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses are primarily driven by investments to grow and retain our consumer base and may fluctuate based on the timing of our investments in consumer acquisition and retention. We continuously evaluate the impact of sales and marketing activities on our business and actively manage our sales and marketing spend, including investment in consumer acquisition, which is largely variable, as market and business conditions change.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $16.3 million, or 5%, year-over-year primarily driven by a $27.5 million decrease in advertising expenses as we proactively managed our spend to better align with our strategic goals, partially offset by a $10.7 million increase in third-party marketing and related support services.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses are primarily driven by changes in headcount and investments to support our compliance and reporting obligations as a public company. General and administrative expenses may vary from period to period based on the timing and extent of business mergers, acquisitions and dispositions, to support our organic growth, and financing activities. Impairments and disposals of long-lived assets may also cause general and administrative expenses to fluctuate period to period.

General and administrative expenses decreased $19.3 million, or 13%, year-over-year, primarily driven by a $24.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense related to the equity granted to our Co-Founders in 2020 (the "Founders Awards") and costs incurred in 2022 that did not recur in 2023, including a $18.1 million loss from the change in fair value of contingent consideration and a $11.3 million loss related to the impairment of an operating lease asset, partially offset by a $11.4 million pre-tax gain from the sale of certain technology assets of GoodRx Care, LLC, our telehealth platform business. The year-over-year impact from these drivers was partially offset by a $20.1 million increase in payroll and related expenses principally due to increased equity grants to existing employees in 2023 relative to 2022 as well as a stock option award granted to our Interim Chief Executive Officer in the second quarter of 2023 with a grant-date fair value of $9.6 million that vests in twelve equal monthly installments through April 2024.

Depreciation and amortization

Our depreciation and amortization changes primarily based on changes in our property and equipment, intangible assets, and capitalized software balances and estimates of useful lives.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $53.5 million, or 99%, year-over-year, primarily driven by $46.7 million of amortization related to certain intangible assets in connection with the Restructuring Plan, which have been accelerated through December 31, 2023, the date the Restructuring Plan was substantially complete. The year-over-year

62

Table of Contents

change in depreciation and amortization was further driven by higher amortization related to capitalized software due to higher capitalized costs for platform improvements and the introduction of new products and features.

Other Expense

Other expense increased by $4.0 million year-over-year, due to an impairment loss on one of our minority equity interest investments.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $22.9 million year-over-year primarily due to higher interest rates earned on cash equivalents held in U.S. treasury securities money market funds.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $22.5 million, or 66%, year-over-year, primarily due to higher interest rates partially offset by lower average debt balances.

Income Taxes

In 2023, we had an income tax benefit of $46.7 million compared to an income tax expense of $9.6 million in 2022 and an effective income tax rate of 84.0% and (41.3%), respectively. The year-over-year change in our income taxes was primarily due to the tax benefit from the release of our valuation allowance against our beginning of the year net deferred tax assets in excess of tax amortizable goodwill, partially offset by a decrease in our U.S. federal and state research and development tax credits. For information regarding our valuation allowance analysis, see Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates— Income Taxes—Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets" and Note 11 in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through net cash provided by operating activities, equity issuances, and borrowings under our long-term debt arrangements. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents and borrowings available under our $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility which expires on October 11, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $672.3 million and $90.8 million available under our revolving credit facility. For additional information regarding our revolving credit facility and our term loan, see Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our primary short-term and long-term requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital including our noncancelable operating lease obligations, interest and principal payments related to our outstanding debt arrangements, share repurchases, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes, and business acquisitions and investments we may make from time to time.

Based on our current conditions, we believe that our net cash provided by operating activities and cash on hand will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the growth of our business, the timing and extent of investments, sales and marketing activities, and many other factors as described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” For additional information regarding our cash requirements from noncancelable operating lease obligations, terms and commitments under our debt arrangements including our term loan and revolving credit facility, and other commitments and contingencies, see Note 10, Note 12 and Note 13 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, respectively.

If necessary, we may borrow funds under our revolving credit facility to finance our liquidity requirements, subject to customary borrowing conditions. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, the current economic uncertainty, including rising inflation and socio-political events, has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, including rising interest rates, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when or on the terms desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Holding Company Status

GoodRx Holdings, Inc. is a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of its own. As a result, GoodRx Holdings, Inc. is largely dependent upon cash distributions and other transfers from its subsidiaries to meet its obligations and to make future dividend payments, if any. Our existing debt arrangements contain covenants restricting payments of dividends by our subsidiaries, including GoodRx, Inc., unless certain conditions are met. These covenants provide for certain exceptions for specific types of payments. Based on these restrictions, all of the net assets of GoodRx, Inc. were restricted pursuant to the terms of our debt arrangements as of December 31, 2023. Since the restricted net assets of GoodRx, Inc. and its subsidiaries exceed 25% of our consolidated net assets, in accordance with Regulation S-X, refer to Note 18 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for condensed parent company financial information of GoodRx Holdings, Inc.

Cash Flows

Year Ended December 31,

Net cash provided by operating activities $ 138,292 $ 146,780

Net cash used in investing activities (55,766) (210,498)

Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ (84,869) $ (183,944)

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. The $8.5 million decrease in net cash provided by operations in 2023 compared to 2022 was due to $24.0 million decrease in net loss, offset by a decrease of $30.8 million in non-cash adjustments and an increase of $1.6 million in cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net decrease in non-cash adjustments was primarily driven by changes in deferred income tax year-over-year as a result of the release of our valuation allowance in 2023, a year-over-year decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to the Founders Awards and a decrease in the change in fair value of contingent consideration that was recognized in 2022. The impact from these drivers was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization due to amortization of certain intangible assets that were accelerated in 2023 and losses on the disposal of capitalized software that were not yet ready for their intended use as a result of the Restructuring Plan, as well as related to an impairment of a minority equity interest investment. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by the timing of income tax payments and refunds, as well as by the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses and collections of accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities primarily consists of cash used for software development costs, capital expenditures, and acquisitions and investments that we may make from time to time. The $154.7 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily related to a $171.9 million decrease in cash paid for acquisition of businesses and minority equity interest investments in privately-held companies, partially offset by a $16.6 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of certain technology assets of GoodRx Care.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities primarily consists of payments related to our debt arrangements, repurchases of our Class A common stock, and net share settlement of equity awards, partially offset by proceeds from employees' exercise of stock options and from our employee stock purchase plan. The $47.2 million increase in net cash used in financing activities in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily related to an increase of $44.8 million for payments related to net share settlement of equity awards, of which $44.5 million related to the Founders Awards, and a decrease of $3.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on certain accounting standards adopted in 2023 and recent accounting announcements that have not yet been required to be implemented and may be applicable to our future operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to

64

Table of Contents

make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. An accounting policy is deemed critical if it is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. An accounting estimate is deemed critical where the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and the impact of the estimate on our financial condition or operating performance is material. We believe that the accounting policies described below involve a significant degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. For further information of the below critical accounting policies and estimates and our other significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition represents an important accounting policy to the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Our revenue recognition does not involve any critical accounting estimates. For information regarding our revenue recognition accounting policy, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Business Combinations

We recognize tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value at the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Contingent consideration arising from a business combination, if any, is included as part of purchase consideration and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration arrangements are remeasured to fair value at each reporting period subsequent to the acquisition date until the contingency is resolved.

The valuations of intangible assets and contingent consideration use different valuation methods depending on the asset acquired and underlying nature of the contingency and may include significant estimates and judgments. Our critical accounting estimates are primarily those relating to forecasts of revenue and margins and estimates of royalty and discount rates, as applicable, used in the valuation of developed technology and customer relationships intangible assets and the contingent consideration receivable.

For developed technology and customer relationships intangible assets, our revenue and margin forecasts include assumptions about future industry conditions, macroeconomic events, our ability to renew contracts in a competitive bidding process including the necessary resources and investments to support these contracts, among other factors. The discount rates focus on rates of return for equity and debt and are calculated using public information from selected guideline companies. The magnitude of the discount rates reflects the perceived risk of each investment, which requires significant judgment. A change in the estimated risk of the acquired companies' cash flows would change the discount rates applied, which in turn could significantly affect the valuation of our acquired developed technology and customer relationships intangible assets.

For certain acquisitions, the fair value of developed technology is estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible assets that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. A royalty rate is applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible asset to determine the amount of savings and requires significant judgment. Our estimates of the royalty rates are based on comparable licensing agreements in the market. A change in the royalty rate selected could significantly affect the valuation of our acquired developed technology intangible asset.

In 2022, we acquired vitaCare which included a contingent consideration receivable. For the contingent consideration receivable at the acquisition date, our revenue forecasts include assumptions relating to the fair value of services expected to be provided to the seller which includes specific assumptions about the seller’s ability to continue to order such services given the seller’s liquidity position, among other macroeconomic and industry factors. The discount rate focuses on the level of risk of achievement of the forecasts and the credit and financial stability of the seller including its financial wherewithal for future payment of the receivable, which requires significant judgment. A change in the seller's liquidity position and future outlook would change the revenue forecasts and discount rate applied and our estimate of the realizability of the contingent consideration receivable, which in turn would affect the valuation of the contingent consideration receivable.

As described in Note 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the contingency associated with the vitaCare contingent consideration receivable was resolved in the year of acquisition which reduced its fair value to zero. As a result, the remeasurement of the contingent consideration receivable to fair value at December 31, 2022 was no longer a critical accounting estimate.

Income Taxes—Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise because of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating losses and tax credits. We evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets by assessing all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of whether a valuation allowance should be established, as well as the amount of such allowance, requires significant judgment and estimates, including estimates of future earnings. Accordingly, the valuation of our net deferred tax assets is a critical accounting estimate.

In evaluating the realizability of our net deferred tax assets, we perform an assessment each reporting period of both positive and negative evidence. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we maintained a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets in excess of amortizable goodwill as the objectively verifiable negative evidence outweighed the positive evidence. We determined it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would not be realized. Objectively verifiable negative evidence at the time primarily included (i) the existence of fiscal and trailing three-year cumulative tax losses (pre-tax earnings or losses adjusted for permanent book to tax differences) principally generated in 2021 and 2020; and (ii) the existence of substantial stock options granted prior to our initial public offering ("IPO") that remain outstanding. The tax losses in 2021 and 2020 were attributable to substantial excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock options granted prior to our IPO. Stock options granted prior to our IPO contained substantially lower exercise prices compared to the closing prices of our Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in 2021 and 2020, which when exercised, resulted in significant excess tax benefits to us. In 2022 and 2023, the excess tax benefits realized substantially decreased relative to 2021 and 2020 due to a decline in the closing prices of our Class A common stock. Accordingly, relative to 2021, the weight of the negative evidence related to substantial excess tax benefits to be realized in future tax periods declined in recent periods.

In 2023, positive evidence reviewed included sustained tax profitability (pre-tax earnings or losses adjusted for permanent book to tax differences), which was objective and verifiable, and anticipated future earnings. The sustained trend of tax profitability realized began in 2022 and continued through the end of 2023. Additional positive evidence reviewed included (i) stock options granted that will expire 10 years from the date of grant if unexercised; and (ii) an indefinite carryforward period for certain deferred tax assets. Although we still have a significant number of outstanding stock options granted prior to our IPO available to be exercised in future tax periods, which may generate incremental excess tax benefits if they are exercised, the degree of excess tax benefits that will be realized in the future will depend on many factors outside of our control, including the closing prices of our Class A common stock in the future and stock option exercises being initiated by employees. Further, we have granted additional equity awards to our employees since our IPO at various closing prices of our Class A common stock which when vested or exercised, could offset, partially offset or supplement the incremental excess tax benefits to be realized from the exercise of stock options granted prior to our IPO in future tax periods.

We apply judgment to consider the relative impact of negative and positive evidence and the weight given to negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. Based on our evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence, and by placing greater weight on the sustained tax profitability achieved since 2022, which was objectively verifiable, and anticipated future earnings, we believed that a valuation allowance against the majority of our net deferred tax assets was no longer required and released $54.6 million of our valuation allowance as an income tax benefit during 2023. As of December 31, 2023, we continue to believe that our net deferred taxes with the exception of certain standalone tax filings' net deferred tax assets will be realized. Our judgment regarding the need for a valuation allowance may reasonably change in future reporting periods due to many factors, including changes in the level of tax profitability that we achieve, changes in tax laws or regulations, and price fluctuations of our Class A common stock and its related future tax effects from our outstanding equity awards.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We only have operations within the United States and therefore do not have any foreign currency exposure. We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposures to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to our debt arrangements which bears floating interest rates and a rising interest rate environment will increase the amount of interest paid on these loans. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased our interest expense by $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The financial statements required to be filed pursuant to this Item 8 are appended to this report. An index of those financial statements is found in Item 15 of Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on the framework set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on our evaluation under the framework set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of GoodRx Holdings, Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GoodRx Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting 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, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements 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. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging,

F-1

Table of Contents

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 matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition – Prescription Transactions Revenue Generated from pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and Pharma Manufacturer Solutions Revenue Generated from Advertising Arrangements

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, prescription transactions revenue is primarily generated from PBMs, or customers, when a prescription is filled with the Company’s code provided through the Company’s platform. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when a prescription is filled. Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue consists primarily of advertisements purchased by pharma manufacturers and other customers for a fixed fee that appear on the Company’s apps and websites for a specified period of time, and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. Customers may also purchase advertisements where the Company charges fees on a cost-per-click basis, advertisements placed in the Company’s direct mailers, or other content used in advertising. Revenue for these arrangements is recognized at a point in time when the advertisements are clicked, when the direct mailers are shipped or when other content used in advertising is delivered, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, prescription transactions revenue was $550.7 million, of which a majority relates to revenue generated from PBMs, and pharma manufacturer solutions revenue was $85.1 million, of which a majority relates to revenue generated from advertising arrangements.

The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition for prescription transactions revenue generated from PBMs and pharma manufacturer solutions revenue generated from advertising arrangements is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures relating to the Company’s revenue recognition for these revenue streams.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process for prescription transactions revenue generated from PBMs and pharma manufacturer solutions revenue generated from advertising arrangements. These procedures also included, among others (i) evaluating, on a sample basis, the appropriateness of revenue recognized for prescription transactions revenue generated from PBMs and pharma manufacturer solutions revenue generated from advertising arrangements by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as contracts, customer invoices, and cash receipts from customers and (ii) confirming, on a sample basis, outstanding customer invoice balances as of December 31, 2023 and, for confirmations not returned, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as contracts, customer invoices, and subsequent cash receipts from customers.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business

GoodRx Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in September 2015 and has no material assets or standalone operations other than its ownership in its consolidated subsidiaries. GoodRx, Inc. (“GoodRx”), a Delaware corporation initially formed in September 2011, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GoodRx Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which itself is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GoodRx Holdings, Inc.

GoodRx Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "we", "us" or "our") offer information and tools to help consumers compare prices and save on their prescription drug purchases. We operate a price comparison platform that provides consumers with curated, geographically relevant prescription pricing, and provides access to negotiated prices through our codes that can be used to save money on prescriptions across the United States (the "prescription transactions offering"). These services are free to consumers and we primarily earn revenue from our core business from pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) that manage formularies and prescription transactions including establishing pricing between consumers and pharmacies. We also offer other healthcare products and services, including pharmaceutical ("pharma") manufacturer solutions, subscriptions and telehealth services.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other than net income or net loss, we do not have any other elements of comprehensive income or loss.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of GoodRx Holdings, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations and financial position of the VIEs are not material to our consolidated financial statements. Results of businesses acquired are included in our consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker manages our business on the basis of one operating segment. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, all of our revenue was from customers located in the United States. In addition, at December 31, 2023 and 2022, all of our right-of-use assets and property and equipment were in the United States.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical factors; current circumstances; macroeconomic events and conditions; and the experience and judgment of our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results can differ materially from these estimates, and such differences can affect the results of operations reported in future periods.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

We maintain cash deposits with multiple financial institutions in the United States which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Cash may be withdrawn or redeemed on demand. We believe that the financial institutions that hold our cash are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances. However, market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we will be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of their ability to pay amounts due under contractual arrangements and generally do not obtain or require collateral. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, one customer accounted for 13% of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2021, two customers accounted for 13% and 11% of our revenue. At December 31, 2023, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance. At December 31, 2022, one customer accounted for 13% of our accounts receivable balance.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash deposits are all in financial institutions in the United States. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of U.S. treasury securities money market funds held with an investment bank and cash on deposit.

Cash equivalents, consisting of U.S. treasury securities money market funds, of $605.5 million and $642.5 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recognized at the amounts due from various customers, net of allowance for expected credit losses. We estimate our expected credit losses based on factors including known facts and circumstances, historical experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions, and the age of the uncollected balances. We write off the asset when it is determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the allowance for credit losses was not material.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are five years for furniture and fixtures and three years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred.

Equity Investments

We retain minority equity interests in privately-held companies without readily determinable fair values. Our ownership interests are less than 20% of the voting stock of the investees and we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investees. The equity investments are accounted for under the measurement alternative in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321, Investments – Equity Securities, which is cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. Due to indicators of a decline in the financial condition of one of our investees, we recognized an impairment loss of $4.0 million on one of our minority equity interest investments during the year ended December 31, 2023 which was presented as other expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended. We otherwise have not recognized any changes resulting from observable price changes or impairment losses on our minority equity interest investments during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Equity investments included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $15.0 million and $19.0 million, respectively.

Business Combinations

The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business being recognized at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

We perform valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for an acquisition and allocate the purchase price to its respective net tangible and intangible assets. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, comparable guideline public companies, and Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy such as forecasts of revenue and margins and estimates of royalty and discount rates, as applicable. We may engage the assistance of valuation specialists in concluding on fair value measurements of certain assets acquired or liabilities assumed in a business combination. During the measurement period, which shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed to reflect new information subsequently obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

F-8

Table of Contents

Certain acquisitions contain provisions for contingent consideration to be transferred or received based on the post-acquisition results of the acquired businesses. The acquisition date estimated fair value of contingent consideration associated with business combinations is based on the amount of the consideration expected to be transferred or received using significant inputs that are not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Contingent consideration is remeasured to its estimated fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, if any, is recognized within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. We had one reporting unit during 2023, 2022 and 2021. We review goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. When testing goodwill for impairment, we may first perform an optional qualitative assessment. If we determine it is not more likely than not our reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, then no further analysis is necessary. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment test will be performed. Under the quantitative impairment test, if the carrying amount of our reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we will recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess but limited to the total amount of goodwill. No impairments were recognized in 2023, 2022 or 2021. Gains and losses on the disposition of a business, which are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the business disposed. When a portion of a reporting unit that constitutes a business is to be disposed of, the amount of goodwill to be included in that carrying amount is determined based on the relative fair values of the business disposed and the portion of the reporting unit that will be retained.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets reflect the value of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks, content library and backlog recognized in connection with our acquisitions. Purchased intangible assets are recognized at their acquisition date fair value, less accumulated amortization. We determine the appropriate useful life of intangible assets by performing an analysis of expected cash flows of the acquired assets. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed, which is reassessed whenever applicable facts and circumstances indicate a change in the estimated useful life of such asset has occurred. In such event, we will adjust the estimated useful life and amortize the carrying value prospectively over the adjusted remaining useful life.

Capitalized Software Costs

We account for our internal-use software costs in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. Capitalization of internal-use costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to funding the project, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used for the function intended. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs for post-configuration training, maintenance and minor modifications or enhancements are included in product development and technology expenses in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred. Capitalized internal-use costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of three years, which is reassessed whenever applicable facts and circumstances indicate a change in the estimated useful life of such asset has occurred. In such event, we will adjust the estimated useful life and amortize the carrying value prospectively over the adjusted remaining useful life.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

Costs associated with implementing cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts are capitalized using the same methodology as internal-use software, but are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized costs are then amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated hosting arrangement, plus any reasonably certain renewal periods, and are recognized as operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, capitalized implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements that were service contracts were not material.

Leases

We account for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. We have elected to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component and also elected not to recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and

F-9

Table of Contents

operating lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. Lease payments for short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We determine if a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. All of our leases are operating leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments, less any tenant improvement allowance incentives when it is reasonably certain they will be received, over the lease term discounted using our incremental borrowing rate. As none of our leases provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate used is estimated based on what we would be required to pay for a collateralized loan over a similar term as the lease. Lease payments include fixed payments and variable payments based on an index or rate, if any, and are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Variable lease payments not based on a rate or index are expensed as incurred. The lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain they will be exercised. Certain of our leases contain renewal options for periods of up to ten years and early termination options by up to two years, at our election. We have not recognized any renewal or early termination options in our estimate of the lease term as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. After a right-of-use asset is impaired, the remaining carrying value of the right-of-use asset is de-linked from the lease liability and amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The lease liability continues to be amortized using the same effective interest method as before the impairment. Thus, after impairment, the operating lease no longer qualifies for the straight-line treatment of total lease expense.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We account for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. We perform impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. In 2022, we recognized an impairment loss of $11.3 million within general and administrative expenses to reduce the $20.2 million carrying value of an operating lease right-of-use asset we determined to sublease to its estimated fair value as rental rates have declined since the date the lease was executed. The estimated fair value was determined by using a discounted cash flow method which is a non-recurring fair value measurement based on Level 3 inputs. Key inputs used in this estimate included projected sublease income and a discount rate which incorporated the risk of achievement associated with the forecast. Other than the aforementioned, we have not recognized any other material impairment losses of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the loan using the effective-interest method. These costs are recognized as a reduction of the related long-term debt balance on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of revolving credit facilities are recognized in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the term of the revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the net tax effects of the differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be reversed. Deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability each reporting period by assessing all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. A valuation allowance is used to reduce some or all of the deferred tax assets if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent sufficient positive evidence becomes available, all or a portion of the valuation allowance may be released in one or more future periods. A release of the valuation allowance, if any, would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and an income tax benefit for the period in which such release is recognized.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to our uncertain tax positions in income tax benefit (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration for which we are expected to be entitled to in exchange for those services. We consider PBMs, pharmacies, pharma manufacturers and consumers of our subscription and telehealth services, for which we have direct contractual agreements with, to be our primary customers. Consideration paid or payable to customers are recognized as a reduction of revenue if we do not receive a distinct good or service for which we can reasonably estimate fair value at the later of when the related revenue is recognized or when we pay or promise to pay the consideration to the customers. Given the time between us transferring a promised good or service to the customer and the customer paying for that good or service is one year or less based on the terms of our revenue arrangements, as a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for effects of a significant financing component.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, revenue comprised the following:

Year Ended December 31,

_____________________________________________________

(1)Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 included a $10.0 million contract termination payment to a pharma manufacturer solutions client in connection with our restructuring activities, which was recognized as a reduction of revenue. See "Note 17. Restructuring Plan" for additional information.

Prescription Transactions Revenue

Prescription transactions revenue is primarily generated from PBMs, or customers, when a prescription is filled with our code provided through our platform. The nature of our promise in our contracts with customers is to direct prescription volume through our platform, which may include marketing through our mobile apps, websites, and cards. These activities are not distinct from each other and are not separate performance obligations. Our performance obligation is to connect consumers with pharmacies that are contracted with our customers. We have no performance obligation to fill prescriptions.

Contracts with PBMs provide that we are entitled to either a percentage of fees that PBMs charge to the pharmacy or a fixed amount per type of drug prescription, when a consumer uses our code from our platform. Our performance obligation is satisfied upon the completion of pharmacies filling prescriptions. We recognize revenue for our estimated fee due from the customers at a point in time when a prescription is filled.

We receive reporting from the customers of the number of prescriptions and amount of consideration to which we are entitled at a prescription level. Certain arrangements with PBMs provide that the amount of consideration we are entitled to is based on the volume of prescription fills each month. In addition, the amount of consideration for which we are entitled may be adjusted in the event that a fill is determined ineligible, or based upon other adjustments allowed under the contracts with customers. We estimate the amount expected to be entitled to using the expected value method based on historical experience of the number of prescriptions filled, ineligible fills and applicable rates.

Beginning in late 2022, we began to enter into direct contractual agreements with select pharmacies ("partner pharmacies"). The partner pharmacies are our customers in these arrangements. Our contracts with partner pharmacies provide consumers access to discounted prices negotiated directly with the partner pharmacies through our platform. We earn fixed or variable fees per transaction from partner pharmacies when a prescription is filled with our code provided through our platform. We recognize revenue for our estimated fee due from the partner pharmacies at a point in time when a prescription is filled.

We generally receive payment within thirty days of the month end in which the prescriptions were filled from our customers. However, portions of payments may not be received for up to five months to the extent of adjustments for ineligible fills.

We periodically offer incentives to consumers for our prescription transactions offering, principally in the form of discounts to a limited number of consumers on a limited number of prescription drugs for a limited time ("limited marketing promotions") that reduce prices on prescription drugs to acquire, re-engage, or generally increase consumer utilization of our platform. None of our contracts with customers require us to provide discounts to consumers. Consumer discounts on prescription drugs where our customers are the partner pharmacies are recognized as a reduction of revenue. For consumer discounts on prescription drugs where our customers are the PBMs, we evaluate whether such discounts represent payments to a customer, which are recognized as a reduction of revenue if no distinct benefit is received, or, whether the

F-11

Table of Contents

discounts relate to limited marketing promotions, which are recognized as sales and marketing expenses. We consider various factors including whether the discounts are made available for a limited time on a limited number of prescription drugs, consumer eligibility requirements, whether discounts are targeted towards consumer transactions with specific partner pharmacies or PBMs, and whether there is involvement or reasonable expectations of our customers with regards to the discounts. All our consumer incentives are recognized at the time the prescription is filled. Consumer incentives recognized as a reduction of revenue were $8.8 million in 2023 and zero in 2022 and 2021. Consumer incentives recognized as sales and marketing expenses were $27.3 million in 2023, $24.7 million in 2022 and not material in 2021.

Subscription Revenue

Subscription revenue is generated from consumers that are subscribed to either of our subscription offerings ("subscribers"), GoodRx Gold (“Gold”) and Kroger Rx Savings Club powered by GoodRx (“Kroger Savings”). Under Gold, subscribers pay an upfront fee to purchase a monthly or annual subscription that provides access to lower prices for prescriptions and telehealth visits. Subscribers can cancel the Gold subscription at any time. Monthly Gold subscription fees are generally nonrefundable while annual Gold subscription fees are generally nonrefundable to the subscriber after the first two weeks. We recognize revenue for Gold on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. Under Kroger Savings, subscribers pay an annual upfront fee, a portion of which we share with Kroger, for a subscription that provides access to lower prices on prescriptions at Kroger pharmacies. Subscribers were able to enroll in Kroger Savings through July 1, 2023 with the expected sunset of the program in July 2024. Kroger Savings subscription fees are generally nonrefundable to the subscriber after the first thirty days unless we cancel the subscription, in which case the subscriber is entitled to a pro rata refund. We recognize revenue for Kroger Savings on a straight-line basis over the subscription period, net of the fee shared with Kroger.

Pharma Manufacturer Solutions Revenue

Pharma manufacturer solutions revenue consists primarily of advertisements purchased by pharma manufacturers and other customers for a fixed fee that appear on our apps and websites for a specified period of time, and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. Customers may also purchase advertisements where we charge fees on a cost-per-click basis, advertisements placed in our direct mailers, or other content used in advertising. Revenue for these arrangements is recognized at a point in time when the advertisements are clicked, when the direct mailers are shipped or when other content used in advertising is delivered, respectively. Pharma manufacturers can also integrate their affordability solutions, such as co-pay cards, patient assistance programs and other savings options onto our platform for a fixed fee per transaction so that consumers can access their medications, and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the prescription is filled. In addition, pharma manufacturer solutions revenue also included fees generated when pharmacies filled prescriptions for products sold by pharma manufacturers via our pharmacy services solution acquired through our acquisition of vitaCare Prescription Services, Inc. ("vitaCare"). We were entitled to a fixed fee per prescription from the pharma manufacturer for each of their patients assisted by us. Revenue for these arrangements was recognized at a point in time when the prescriptions were processed and filled through our pharmacy services solution. In August 2023, our Board approved a plan to de-prioritize certain solutions under our pharma manufacturer solutions offering, which, among others, included solutions supported by vitaCare. See "Note 17. Restructuring Plan" for additional information.

We generally invoice customers in advance, in the month end in which services are rendered, or in accordance with other specific contractual provisions. Payments are due generally within thirty to ninety days of invoice but may extend up to twelve months for a limited number of contracts.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists principally of telehealth revenue. Telehealth revenue consists of revenues generated from consumers who complete a telehealth visit with a member of our network of qualified medical professionals. Consumers pay a fee per telehealth visit and we recognize the fee as revenue at a point in time when the visit is complete.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs related to outsourced consumer support; healthcare provider costs; personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense, for our consumer support employees; hosting costs; merchant account fees; processing fees; allocated overhead; and as applicable, fulfillment costs for certain solutions provided to customers under our pharma manufacturer solutions offering. Cost of revenue excludes depreciation and amortization of capitalized software development costs, developed technology, and other hosting and data infrastructure equipment used to operate our platform, which are included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Product Development and Technology

Costs related to the development of products are charged to product development and technology expense as incurred. Product development and technology expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense, for employees involved in product development activities; costs related to third-party services and contractors associated with product development, information technology and software-related costs; and allocated overhead. Product development and technology costs also include, as applicable, losses from the disposal of capitalized development costs related to internal-use software that are not yet ready for their intended use.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of advertising, marketing and promotional expenses for consumer acquisition and retention including certain consumer discounts that are expensed as incurred. Production costs are expensed as of the first date the advertisement takes place. Advertising costs were $198.8 million, $226.3 million and $296.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses also include personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation expense and sales commissions, for sales and marketing employees; costs related to third-party services and contractors; and allocated overhead. Sales commissions relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less and are expensed as incurred.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred and primarily include personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense, for executive, finance, accounting, legal, and human resources functions; as well as professional fees; occupancy costs; other general overhead costs; and as applicable, change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on operating lease assets, gain on sale of business, and legal settlement charges, net of insurance recoveries.

Depreciation and Amortization

Our depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation of property and equipment, and amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs and intangible assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be measured at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which to transact and the market-based risk. Goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, and equity investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, only if impaired. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements approximate the fair value for accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of our debt, which is based on inputs categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, approximated its carrying value as of December 31, 2023, and was approximately $649.6 million as of December 31, 2022. For contingent consideration, which is remeasured to its estimated fair value on a recurring basis, see “Note 3. Business Combinations and Dispositions."

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation cost is allocated to cost of revenue, product development and technology, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. For awards that vest based on continued service, stock-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. For awards with performance vesting conditions, stock-based compensation cost is recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period when it is probable the performance condition will be achieved,

F-13

Table of Contents

with a cumulative adjustment for the portion of the service period that occurred for the period prior to the performance condition becoming probable of being achieved. The requisite service period for awards with service and performance conditions is the longer of the service period or the performance period. The grant date fair value of stock options that contain service or performance conditions is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the grant date fair value of RSUs that contain service or performance conditions is estimated based on the fair value of our common stock. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur.

Determining the fair value of stock-based awards requires judgment. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant is used to measure the fair value of RSUs. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions and are as follows:

•For periods prior to our initial public offering ("IPO") in September 2020, because there was no public market for our common stock, the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock-based awards was determined by our board of directors (our "Board"), with input from management, by considering several objective and subjective factors, and the results of third-party valuations. Subsequent to our IPO, the fair value of common stock was determined on the grant date using the closing price of our Class A common stock.

•Expected volatility is based on a blended approach that utilizes our historical and implied volatility for periods in which we have sufficient information and the historical and implied volatility of a publicly traded peer group based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.

•The expected term is based on historical and estimates of future exercise behavior. For stock options considered to be “plain vanilla” options, the expected term is based on the simplified method, as our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. Substantially all of our stock options granted after our IPO are considered to be "plain vanilla" options.

•The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield of treasury bonds with a maturity that approximates the expected term of the options.

•The dividend yield is based on our current expectations of dividend payouts.

The assumptions used in our Black-Scholes option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation could be materially different in the future.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

We have two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B. Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders of our Class A and Class B common stock are the same because they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights.

We compute earnings or loss per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires net income to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. In periods where we have net losses, losses are not allocated to participating securities as they are not required to fund the losses.

Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted average number of common shares outstanding includes contingently issuable shares where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued.

We compute diluted earnings or loss per share under a two-class method. For periods when we have net income, net income is reallocated between common stock, potential common stock and participating securities. Stock-based awards that contain vesting provisions contingent on achievement of performance or market conditions are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, from the beginning of the period or date of issuance if later, if all necessary conditions to vest have been satisfied during the period. If all conditions have not been met by the end of the period, dilutive earnings per share includes the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the period were the end of the contingency period. Potential common stock principally includes stock options and RSUs computed using the treasury stock method. For periods where we have net losses, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, because potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.

3. Business Combinations and Dispositions

Business Combinations

vitaCare Prescription Services, Inc.

On April 14, 2022, we acquired all of the equity interests of vitaCare Prescription Services, Inc., a prescription technology and services platform, from TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (the "Seller"), the sole stockholder of vitaCare, for a total purchase consideration of $131.8 million, inclusive of $149.9 million in cash, offset by contingent considerations with a net estimated acquisition-date fair value of $18.1 million. We incurred a total of $1.6 million of transaction costs associated with this acquisition during 2022 that consisted primarily of professional fees. We acquired vitaCare as we believed it would strengthen and expand our business capabilities with respect to our pharma manufacturer solutions platform.

We accounted for the vitaCare acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and recognized tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of the acquired intangible assets were determined primarily by using a discounted cash flow method which is a non-recurring fair value measurement based on Level 3 inputs. The goodwill recognized in connection with this acquisition primarily related to the expected long-term synergies and other benefits from the acquisition, including the acquired assembled workforce, and is tax deductible. The aggregate purchase consideration was principally allocated to goodwill of $80.6 million and other intangible assets of $52.0 million. Other intangible assets principally related to developed technology of $30.0 million and customer relationships of $21.0 million with estimated useful lives of five and eleven years, respectively.

We also established a management incentive plan under which certain continuing vitaCare employees were eligible to receive up to $10.0 million of additional cash compensation upon achievement of certain performance milestones through 2023. This management incentive plan was accounted for separately from the business combination and excluded from the purchase consideration. The performance milestones were not probable of being met as of December 31, 2022, and were not met as of December 31, 2023.

The contingent considerations recognized consisted of a contingent consideration receivable and a contingent consideration payable with estimated acquisition-date fair values of approximately $19.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Contingent consideration payable - The contingent consideration payable of up to $7.0 million in cash was based upon vitaCare's achievement of certain specified revenue results through 2023. The revenue targets were not expected to be achieved as of December 31, 2022. Accordingly, we recognized the change in fair value of the contingent consideration payable of $1.7 million as a reduction of general and administrative expenses during 2022. The specified revenue results were not achieved and the contingency was resolved as of December 31, 2023.

Contingent consideration receivable - vitaCare entered into a commercial agreement with the Seller in connection with the acquisition (the "commercial agreement") to provide certain pharmacy services to the Seller over an initial 5-year term following the acquisition with annual minimum guaranteed payments over the 5-year term totaling $66.3 million. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration receivable at the acquisition date was based on the present value of the expected future annual minimum guaranteed payments in excess of the estimated fair value of pharmacy services expected to be provided to the Seller for each year over the initial 5-year term and contained significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). Key inputs used in this estimate included projected revenue and a discount rate which incorporated the risk of achievement associated with the forecasts and the credit risk of the Seller. Significant changes in the projected revenue or discount rate would have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

In December 2022, we eliminated the annual minimum guaranteed payments associated with the commercial agreement which was assigned to a third-party by the Seller. Concurrently, we amended an existing arrangement with the third-party, which was determined to be at fair value. In connection with these transactions, the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable was effectively zero as the contingency was resolved and no future contingent payments will be received. Accordingly, we recognized the change in fair value of the contingent consideration receivable of $19.7 million within general and administrative expenses during 2022.

The following table reflects the pro forma unaudited consolidated results of operations for the periods presented as if the acquisition of vitaCare had occurred on January 1, 2021. The pro forma unaudited consolidated results of operations give effect to certain adjustments including: (i) transaction and severance costs incurred in connection with the acquisition; (ii) amortization expense related to the acquired intangible assets; and (iii) elimination of vitaCare's allocated interest expense related to the Seller's financing agreement whereby vitaCare was released from as guarantor upon the consummation of the acquisition. The pro forma unaudited consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated as of the date indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.

(in thousands) Year Ended December 31,

vitaCare's revenue in the year of acquisition of $5.6 million was included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended. Disclosure of the standalone earnings or loss of vitaCare in the year of acquisition is not practicable as expenses associated with significant back-office, product development and technology and go-to-market processes of vitaCare were substantially integrated into our consolidated operations.

Other Business Combinations

In 2022, we also acquired flipMD, Inc., a marketplace connecting practicing physicians with organizations seeking on-demand medical expertise for $7.0 million in cash.

In 2021, we acquired three different businesses for aggregate cash consideration of $141.8 million. Goodwill associated with these acquisitions primarily related to the expected long-term synergies and other benefits, including the acquired assembled workforce. The aggregate purchase consideration related to these acquisitions was principally allocated to goodwill of $68.6 million and other intangible assets of $70.2 million, principally related to customer relationships of $50.2 million, with estimated useful lives ranging between nine and thirteen years.

Unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information, revenue and earnings in the year of acquisition, and transaction costs for these acquisitions are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Dispositions

Certain Assets of GoodRx Care, LLC (FKA HeyDoctor, LLC)

On December 9, 2022, we completed the sale of certain technology assets of GoodRx Care, LLC, our telehealth platform, for $19.5 million in cash. Of this total purchase price, $2.9 million was held in the buyer's escrow account related to the resolution of standard representations and warranties and was included in prepaid and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The amount was subsequently released from the buyer's escrow and we collected the $2.9 million during 2023. The sale represented the sale of a business and, as we have one reporting unit, goodwill was allocated to the disposal group. The carrying value of the disposal group as of the sale date was approximately $8.1 million, comprised principally of $4.6 million of capitalized software and $3.1 million of allocated goodwill. We

recognized a $11.4 million pre-tax gain on the sale which was included as a reduction of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. As we continued to provide consumers access to telehealth services via our GoodRx Care platform after the date of sale, the sale did not represent a strategic shift that has had, or is expected to have, a major effect on our operations and financial results.
