Management Commentary

Alan Jay Weisberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Progressive Care, commented, “We continued to see improvement in several segments of our business. Our 340B covered entity business has continued to improve due to revenues related to dispensing prescriptions and third-party administration fees, which have returned to the same levels prior to January 2022. In our value-based pharmacy business, our revenues have improved to over $9 million this quarter, an improvement of over $1 million year-over-year from the same period last year. Our patient numbers have increased steadily quarter to quarter in 2022.”

Mr. Weisberg continued, “Going forward, our marketing and business development focus will be on more profitable business lines, such as our long-term care business, 340B contract pharmacy services, and 340B third party administration services. We will also develop new and expanded services in the areas of chronic care management and remote patient monitoring. We have done a great job identifying such opportunities in the past years with our testing business as an example, which helped us during the pandemic to improve our cash flow and liquidity, and we’re extremely excited to enter the remote patient monitoring market. We are in the process of finalizing the development of our RPM platform and expect to be ready for the launch of our RPM solutions during the third quarter of 2022.”

Revenue from COVID-19 testing was approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower COVID-19 testing sales. As the COVID-19 pandemic faded worldwide, the need for testing has decreased as it relates to travel and business continuity. The Company’s CFO, Cecile Munnik said, “It is difficult to predict whether these conditions will be recurring given recent COVID-19 pandemic conditions but we are well positioned to react if another COVID-19 outbreak occurs as we have built a reputation of being a reliable partner for COVID-19 testing solutions. We have built reputable relationships with well-known media productions companies and these relationships provide us with recurring COVID-19 testing revenue.”

340B contract revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was flat as compared to the same period in 2021.

Gross profit margins decreased from 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, to 20% when compared to the same period in 2022. The 7% period-over-period decrease is due to the decrease in COVID-19 testing revenues, which have significantly higher margins than pharmacy operations.

During the earnings call, Birute Norkute, the Company’s COO said, “We are pleased to report that our second quarter activities have built upon and continued the momentum from our first quarter performance from all our business segments. Our focus on growth and operational excellence has allowed us to retain a status of performance as a Five-Star pharmacy, which will maximize our reimbursements and will allow us to earn performance bonuses with certain payors. This positive trend is already showing in our data. We also see a significant uptick in new patient acquisition numbers, more than in previous quarters, including patients testing positive for COVID-19 looking for the latest and most effective therapies to treat the virus.”
