"In a year where venture capital investing all but dried up it is rewarding that we could raise investment dollars from our existing investors," said Richard Altus, CEO and President. "The sustained support of ImpactRx by its longstanding investors is a clear acknowledgement of the success achieved by the company over its nine-year history," Altus continued. "To secure this investment in a year like 2009, when the industry faced the challenges of the global recession coupled with the headwinds facing all service providers within the pharmaceutical marketplace, is a vote of confidence in our future," said Altus.

ImpactRx also reported that in 2009 the company's revenues were $28,952,000 which in turn generated free cash flow of $2.2 million prior to any investment activity as compared to free cash of $1.4 million in 2008, representing a 57% increase. In commenting on this achievement, CEO Altus said, "our ability to internally generate incremental cash flow under the very difficult market conditions that existed in 2009 is a real sign of the strength of our business." "The additional funding, coupled with the internally generated free cash flow, will help us expedite our product development and infrastructure improvement plans as well as upgrade our modeling capabilities," continued Altus. "We are investing to accelerate our ability to deliver even more value to our clients," Altus further stated.
"Ending 2009 with a strong balance sheet and no debt, ImpactRx is positioned for high growth and expansion in 2010," Altus concluded.
