Management Commentary

“I am pleased with the growth we have experienced in our TRxADE and TRxADE Prime platforms for the first quarter of 2022. We have continued to drive our business forward, achieving several key milestones in our internal roadmap with a focus on innovation and development through our various complementary growth opportunities.

Our new venture, SOSRx, is an exciting addition that provides additional availability to short dated and overstocked drugs, with a goal to positively impact the public need for cost effective medication.

The TRxADE marketplace connects wholesalers and independent pharmacies and our SOSRx marketplace connects the manufacturers and wholesalers. Both the TRxADE and SOSRx marketplaces deliver radical price transparency, economies of scale and competition that benefit the independent pharmacies and wholesalers, while expanding the selling potential for such participants.

We believe the TRxADE and SOSRx platforms provide the opportunity to deliver more affordable prescription costs for consumers.

This is an exciting time for TRxADE, as we continue to position ourselves to create sustainable value for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Suren Ajjarapu, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Summary

Revenues for the first quarter of 2022, increased 6% to $3.2 million, compared to revenue of $3.1 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in revenue was primarily due to revenue generated by the TRxADE Platform and TRxADE Prime.

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2022, decreased 4% to $1.3 million, or 41% of revenues, compared to gross profit of $1.4 million, or 45% of revenues, in the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with TRxADE Prime transactions.

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were $2.3 million, compared to $2 million in the same quarter last year. This increase is primarily due to continued IT initiatives and increased salary and legal expenses.

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, litigation expense 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.
