TRxADE HEALTH Reports Year End 2021 Financial Results

Continues Nationwide Expansion of Breakthrough Digital Healthcare Services IT Platform

TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2022 / TRxADE HEALTH, INC. (NASDAQ:MEDS)(“TRxADE”, “TRxADE HEALTH” or the “Company”), a health services IT company focused on digitalizing the retail pharmacy experience by optimizing drug procurement, the prescription journey and patient engagement in the U.S., today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter (Q4) and year ended (FY) December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Summary and Operational Highlights

TRxADE continued to expand the TRxADE drug procurement marketplace nationwide, adding 175 new registered members in Q4 2021, bringing the total registered members to approximately 13,100+ at the end of 2021.

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 19.7% to $2.4 million, compared to revenue of $2.0 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in revenue was primarily due to revenue generated by the TRxADE Platform and TRxADE Prime, the Company’s business to business web-based marketplace.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 831% to $1.24 million or 51.9% of revenues, compared to $0.1 million, or 6.5% of revenues, in the same quarter last year. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to revenue generated by TRxADE Platform, which has a lower cost of sales.

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 were $2.0 million compared to $2.4 million in the same quarter last year. This decrease was due primarily to a loss on impairment of goodwill recognized in the same quarter last year, which was a one-time charge.

Net Loss in the fourth quarter of 2021 was ($0.8) million or ($0.10) per basic and diluted share outstanding, compared to ($2.3) million, or ($0.29) per basic and diluted share outstanding, as a result of a $726,000 loss on impairment of goodwill and a one-time $1,081,000 inventory write down, compared to the same quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased to negative $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to negative $1.4 million in the same quarter last year. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below, and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP set forth at the end of this release.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021 Summary

Revenues for the 2021 year decreased 42.2% to $9.9 million, compared to $17.1 million in 2020. The decrease in revenue was due to revenue generated in 2020 by Integra Pharma Solutions, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which revenue was from Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) sales relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which decreased in 2021.

Gross profit in fiscal 2021 decreased 16.8% to $4.7 million, or 48.0% of revenues, compared to $5.7 million, or 33.0% of revenues for last year. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to higher margins associated with TRxADE Platform revenue, which has a lower cost of sales.

Operating expenses in 2021 were $10.0 million, compared to $8.2 million last year. This increase is primarily due to the Loss on Inventory Investment and, an increase in IT initiatives in our Bonum Health and Alliance Pharma companies.

Net Loss in 2021 was ($5.3) million, or ($0.65) per basic and diluted share outstanding, compared to ($2.5) million, or ($0.33) per basic and diluted share outstanding, last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended 2021 was negative ($3.7) million compared to positive $0.1 million for the year ended 2020. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below, and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP set forth at the end of this release.

Looking at our balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents were $3.1 million as of December 31, 2021, compared with $5.9 million as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in cash was due to our IT initiatives with Bonum Health and Alliance Pharma and loss on inventory investment.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), in this earnings release we also present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA which are “non-GAAP financial measures” presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance. They are not presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense, loss (gain) on inventory investment and loss (gain) on impairment of goodwill. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments. Although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Additionally, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than TRxADE HEALTH, Inc. does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized in accordance with GAAP, are unaudited, and have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section titled “Reconciliation of Net Income attributable to TRxADE HEALTH, INC., to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA”, included at the end of this release.
