2025 First Quarter Overview:
Net Sales:
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased to $15.0 million from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $9.9 million or 193.6%. Prescription sales were $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $10.0 million, or 226.5%. These increases were primarily due to growth in our partner services (B2B) business related to fulfillment of brand and compounded GLP-1 medications. Sales for the direct-to-consumer (B2C) prescription business were down $722,000 or 25.7% from 2024. Our reduced advertising spending resulted in lower sales of branded and generic prescription products for the quarter. Net sales of over-the-counter products decreased by $78,000 or 12.4% from $630,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $552,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to reductions in sales for both direct-to-consumer (B2C) and partner services business (B2B).
Gross Profit:
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased $1.6 million or 53.5% to $4.5 million versus the same period in 2024, as a result of the growth in prescription sales. Gross margin percentage decreased from 57.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to 30.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Margins decreased in the B2B prescription business due to growth in brand and compounded GLP-1 medication sales, which have higher costs and lower gross margins due to market competition.
Operating Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 36.5%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, expense increases included an $872,000 increase in shipping and shipping supplies expenses, and a $145,000 increase in salaries expense, primarily related to higher direct pharmacy labor, software engineering and business development salaries.
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA: Net income was $178,000 for the first quarter of 2025, compared with a net loss of $252,000 during the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $521,000 in the first quarter of 2025, compared with $90,000 in the year-earlier quarter.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (the "Company") prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income or net loss to exclude interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of right of use lease asset, ('EBITDA'), Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation, and certain nonrecurring charges. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, Adjusted EBITDA is used internally in planning and evaluating the Company's performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of this metric offers lenders and other shareholders an additional view of the Company operations that, when coupled with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net loss or to net cash provided by or used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company performance.
