    Answer

    CEO Peter Anevski reiterated that the company lacks specific insight into the personal timing of member journeys but emphasized the long-term cumulative revenue impact from such variability is minimal.

    Jailendra Singh's questions to GoodRx Holdings (GDRX) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Jailendra Singh of Truist Securities sought more detail on the ISP volume reduction at a specific PBM partner and questioned how GoodRx plans to compete in crowded direct-to-consumer (DTC) subscription markets like ED and weight loss.

    Answer

    CEO Wendy Barnes stated the ISP issue stems from the GoodRx price not always 'winning' in the PBM's system. The strategy to counter this involves adding more commercial lives, integrating brand drugs, and developing a direct-to-employer model. For DTC subscriptions, she highlighted GoodRx's competitive advantage in its large existing user base (2-3x larger than competitors), which allows for a lower customer acquisition cost.

    Jailendra Singh of Truist Securities sought more detail on the ISP volume reduction, asking about its cause and the risk of it spreading. He also questioned the competitive strategy for new DTC subscription categories like ED and weight loss.

    Answer

    CEO Wendy Barnes explained the ISP headwind is a known issue where the GoodRx price isn't always selected within the PBM's system. She outlined a growth strategy based on adding more lives, integrating brand drugs, and a longer-term direct-to-employer push. On DTC competition, she highlighted GoodRx's advantage in having a large existing user base (2-3x competitors), which allows for a lower customer acquisition cost, though the company will still invest in marketing for these new services.

    Answer

    CFO Chris McGinnis clarified that the guidance reflects prudence early in the year rather than weakness in the pharma solutions pipeline, which he still expects to be a 20% growth business. He explained that the decline in MACs was in line with their expectations, resulting from strategic pricing adjustments to improve pharmacy partner profitability. This, in turn, drives higher revenue per MAC, and he believes there is still headroom to improve this metric.

    Jailendra Singh's questions to IQVIA HOLDINGS (IQV) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jailendra Singh asked about any changes in the mix between full-service and FSP models in RFPs and bookings, and also requested an update on the status of two previously delayed mega trials.

    Answer

    Chairman and CEO Ari Bousbib noted a potential reversal in the trend towards FSP. While FSP grew to nearly 20% of bookings in 2024, it was less than 10% in Q1, with pipeline indicators also showing a decline. Regarding the mega trials, he confirmed one is expected to start in H2 2025 as planned, but the second has been pushed out of the year due to client-specific reasons. An executive added this was factored into guidance, which could now see R&DS revenue trend toward the lower end of the range.
