OverviewProgressive Care Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state ofDelaware onOctober 31, 2006 under the nameProgressive Training, Inc. We changed our name toProgressive Care Inc. in connection with a merger withProgressive Care Inc. onNovember 23, 2010 . Progressive, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries,PharmCo, LLC (referred to as "PharmCo 901"),Touchpoint RX, LLC doing business as PharmCo Rx 1002, LLC (referred to as "PharmCo 1002"),Family Physicians RX, Inc. doing business as PharmCoRx 1103 and PharmCoRx 1204 (referred to as "FPRX" historically or "PharmCo 1103" and "PharmCo 1204" currently) (pharmacy subsidiaries collectively referred to as "PharmCo"),ClearMetrX Inc. , andRXMD Therapeutics, Inc (collectively with all entities referred to as the "Company" or "we") is a personalized healthcare services and technology company which provides prescription pharmaceutical and risk and data management services to healthcare organizations and providers. We provide Third Party Administration ("TPA"), data management, COVID-19 related diagnostics and vaccinations, prescription pharmaceuticals, compounded medications, tele-pharmacy services, anti-retroviral medications, medication therapy management, the supply of prescription medications to long term care facilities, medication adherence packaging, contracted pharmacy services for 340B Covered Entities under the 340B Drug Discount Pricing Program, and health practice risk management. We are focused on improving lives of patients with complex chronic diseases through a patient and provider engagement and our partnerships with payors, pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors. We offer a broad range of innovative solutions to address the dispensing, delivery, dosing, and reimbursement of clinically intensive, high-cost drugs. PharmCo provides contracted pharmacy services for 340B Covered Entities under the 340B Drug Discount Pricing Program. Under the terms of these agreements, we act as a pass through for reimbursements on prescription claims adjudicated on behalf of the 340B Covered Entities in exchange for a dispensing fee per prescription. These fees vary by the covered entity and the level of service provided by us. We currently own and operate four pharmacies, which generate most of our revenues. Our prescriptions revenues were 93% and 85% of total revenues for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our prescriptions revenues were 89% and 88% of total revenues for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our revenue is derived from customized care management programs, Medication Therapy Management ("MTM") services we deliver to our patients, including the dispensing of their medications. We also provide patient health risk reviews and free same-day delivery. Our focus is on complex chronic diseases that generally require multiyear or lifelong therapy, which drives recurring revenue and sustainable growth. Our pharmacy services revenue growth is from our expanding breadth of services, new drugs coming to market, new indications for existing drugs, volume growth with current clients, and addition of new customers due to our focus on higher patient engagement, benefit of free delivery to the patient, and clinical expertise. We also expect expanded revenue growth through the signing of new contract pharmacy service and data management contracts with 340B Covered Entities and expansion of data management and analytics services to healthcare organizations. We formed ClearMetrX inJune 2020 , the Company's first wholly-owned data management company with services designed to support health care organizations across the country. We believe Artificial Intelligence ("AI") will improve preventive healthcare by helping physicians make informed decisions in the medication therapy management process. Through ClearMetrX, third party administrative and data management fees for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, was approximately$0.2 million for both periods. Third party administrative and data management fees for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, was approximately$0.3 million and$0.4 million , respectively. These fees have gross margins significantly greater than those generated from our
pharmacy operations. 4 According to data provided to Drug Channels by HRSA, discounted 340B purchases were at least$38.8 billion in 2020 with an overall growth rate of 217% over the past five years. ClearMetrX includes data management and TPA services for 340B Covered Entities, pharmacy analytics, and programs to manage HEDIS Quality Measures including Medication Adherence. These offerings cater to the glaring need for frontline providers to understand best practices, patient behaviors, care management processes, and the financial mechanisms behind these decisions. We provide data access, and also deliver actionable insights that providers and support organizations can use to improve their practice and patient care. The Company's TPA services include management of wholesale accounts and contract pharmacies, patient eligibility with regard to the 340B drug program, development and review of 340B policies and procedures, and management of receivables. We have isolated and prioritized key marketing methods which have yielded the lowest cost of customer acquisition and the most opportunity for growth. Social media, website maintenance, and thought leadership are being optimized to promote brand awareness and recognition, which increases the likelihood of securing physician referrals and customer loyalty. For the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized overall revenue from operations of approximately$10.0 million and$9.6 million , respectively. Prescription revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 was approximately$9.3 million when compared to$8.2 million the same period in 2021, a 13% period over period increase. We have filled approximately 118,000 and 107,000 prescriptions during the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , and 2021, respectively, a 10% period over period increase in the number of prescriptions filled. Revenue from COVID-19 testing was approximately$0.4 million and$1.1 million for the three months endedJune 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. However, despite the downturn in COVID-19 testing needs, we have generated approximately$0.4 million in COVID-19 testing revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 . It is difficult to predict whether these conditions will be recurring given recent COVID-19 pandemic conditions inFlorida . 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. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized overall revenue from operations of approximately$20.0 million and$19.2 million , respectively, a 4% year over year increase. Prescription revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 was approximately$17.9 million when compared to$16.8 million the same period in 2021, a 6% period over period increase. We have filled approximately 229,000 and 223,000 prescriptions during the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , and 2021, respectively, a 3% period over period increase in the number of prescriptions filled. We believe this trend will continue through the remainder of the year as the medication adherence measures begin to impact providers performance and their future potential monetary incentives, which are tied to their patient's adherence measures. Revenue from COVID-19 testing was approximately$1.7 million and$1.6 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , and 2021, respectively. We have recognized record COVID-19 testing revenue inJanuary 2022 as the country was dealing with the Delta and Omicron outbreak during that period. SinceJanuary 2022 the demand for COVID-19 testing has slowed down as the need for testing has decreased as it relates to travel and business continuity. It is difficult to predict whether these conditions will be recurring given recent COVID-19 pandemic conditions inFlorida . 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 production companies and these relationships provide us with recurring COVID-19 testing revenue. During 2022 we have experienced significant decreases in the reimbursement rates for uninsured patients enrolled in the Gilead PREP program that became effective beginning the first quarter of 2022 that had an overall unfavorable impact on our 340B contract revenue. Dispensing fee and third-party administration revenue earned on our 340B contracts for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately$0.7 million for both periods. Dispensing fee and third-party administration revenue earned on our 340B contracts for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , and 2021 were approximately$1.1 million and$1.4 million , respectively. As a result of the decrease in reimbursement rates from Gilead PREP program, we experienced an unfavorable impact on our 340B contract revenue in the amount of approximately$0.1 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , and an unfavorable impact of approximately$0.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 . Since the beginning of the year, 340B covered entities significantly increased patient enrollment in alternative programs and insurance plans that provide greater reimbursements. For the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 we recorded approximately$0.4 million from our 340B contracts, compared to approximately$0.7 million during the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , an 82% increase from the first quarter of 2022 when compared to the second quarter of 2022. We believe the increase is a direct result of the patient enrollment effort and believe this trend will continue for the remainder of the year. We are continuing to strengthen our knowledge and expertise in the 340B arena and working towards diversifying our 340B business as well as expanding it nationwide through the offering of our ClearMetrX software, when completed. We continue to experience an overall reduction in the gross profit per drug prescribed predominantly in high cost brand drugs where in many cases reimbursements are at or below dispensed drug costs. Our gross profit per prescription continued to be eroded through increases in contractual rate adjustments such as generic and brand effective rates. We continue to promote the health and well-being of the community through ensuring necessary medications are received by the patient regardless of cost to us, and we are working with physicians and patients alike to optimize medication practices to dispense drugs that do not result in losses. Our pharmacy staff is trained to recognize all opportunities to recommend and dispense less expensive generic drug alternatives to minimize the risk of loss and potentially decrease profit erosion. We believe this approach will benefit our pharmacy operations and attract new business from value-based providers and health care organizations with a focus on minimizing drug spending. Management expects that future growth will be driven by new data management and virtual healthcare service lines; expansion of 340BCovered Entities Third Party Administrative services; market penetration in existing geographies; development of enhanced healthcare B2B services; development of cash based products and services; and continued implementation of MTM protocols. Additionally, profitability and cash flow might be positively impacted by the elimination of non-recurring expenses and diversification to revenue streams outside of the third-party insurance payor model. InFebruary 2021 , we entered into a service agreement withEagleForce Health, LLC to integrate its proprietary telehealth platform, called "myVax", and develop a platform for the Company's Digital Passport for COVID-19 testing and vaccination results. The platform was launched onJuly 20, 2021 and is capable of managing an individual's COVID-19 vaccine and test records. The Company has been able to build an Ecosystem that allows a patient, employer, or coordinator in-charge to chat with the company's support team, schedule a test, pay for the test, and at the point of arrival to the site by scanning a QR code from a mobile devise create a profile and access test results. Using the same Ecosystem, the companies support staff is able to manage the entire patients journey and provide automated reporting of the results to regulatory authorities, supervisors and coordinators in-charge. Once a PharmcoRx myVax profile has been created, patients have a secure way to store health records, including testing records, vaccination records, medications, vitals, and passport data. It is also capable of tracking vital health data from smart watches and other smart devices. The myVax Passport serves as an easy and secure way to store and manage verifiable COVID-19 related records for traveling or work purposes. 5 COVID-19 Pandemic Global health concerns relating to the outbreak of COVID-19 continue to have an impact on the economies of theU.S. and around the world. We believe COVID-19's impact on our business, financial condition and operating results primarily will be driven by the geographies impacted and the severity and duration of the pandemic, as well as the pandemic's impact on theU.S. and global economies, consumer behavior and health care utilization patterns. In addition, the outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to reduce the transmission of the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures may not effectively combat the severity and/or duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent further spread, among others. Accordingly, we cannot predict the extent to which our business, financial condition and results of operations will be affected. We will continue to work diligently with our partners and stakeholders to continue supporting patient access to their prescribed medications to the extent safe to do so for patients, caregivers and healthcare practitioners, as well as ensuring the continuity of our supply chain. Specific COVID-19 related impacts on the Company for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, are further described below. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company launched an aggressive expansion of its COVID-19 testing service registered through the FDA under its Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") guidelines, featuring Polymerase Chain Reaction ("PCR") and Antigen testing systems that produces rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and Antibody testing to detect the presence of IGG and IGM antibodies in the blood with market-leading accuracy in 15 to 45 minutes. The systems we use for Rapid Detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a molecular test using a lab technique called PCR, an antigen-based testing system designed to detect proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19, and COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette authorized for the detection of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human venous whole blood. The Company provides these new testing systems to patients at itsNorth Miami Beach ,Hallandale Beach ,Palm Springs andOrlando locations. Our testing sites are equipped with analyzers capable of detecting positive or negative COVID-19 results within minutes. Each site is operated by clinically trained Pharmacy staff and administering tests on and off site. The Company has established a reputation of a reliable testing partner and currently provides testing services to international travelers and international airlines, chain restaurants, US and international production and entertainment companies, and local healthcare communities. The Company has been able to build an Ecosystem that allows a patient, employer, or coordinator in-charge to chat with the company's support team, schedule a test, pay for the test, and at the point of arrival to the site by scanning a QR code from a mobile devise create a profile and access test results. Using the same Ecosystem, the companies support staff is able to manage the entire patients journey and provide automated reporting of the results to regulatory authorities, supervisors and coordinators in-charge. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, we have earned approximately$1.7 million and$1.6 million , respectively from COVID-19 testing. We have recognized record COVID-19 testing revenue inJanuary 2022 as the country was dealing with the Delta and Omicron outbreak during that period. SinceJanuary 2022 the cases of COVID-19 infections and demand for COVID-19 testing have slowed down. It is difficult to predict whether these conditions will be recurring given recent COVID-19 pandemic conditions inFlorida . We are well positioned to react if another COVID-19 outbreak occurs as we have built a reputation of being a highly 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. With theFDA's recent revision of the drug's emergency use authorization, as ofJuly 7, 2022 our Pharmacists here at PharmCo, with some limitations, can now prescribe Paxlovid, COVID-19 antiviral pill, directly to patients who face high risks for severe COVID-19. Pharmco has Paxlovid and Molnupiravir (COVID positive therapies) in stock and are able to dispense immediately to patients when prescribed to treat and minimize or reduce the symptoms of COVID. Paxlovid is authorized to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults and in kids ages 12 and older who weigh at least 88 pounds. Patients who report a positive test are eligible for Paxlovid under the FDA authorization.

We deliver data access and actionable insights that providers and support organizations can use to improve their practice and patient care.
Industry Overview and Market Opportunities
Pharmacy operations
The retail pharmacy and pharmaceutical wholesale industries are highly competitive and dynamic and have experienced consolidation and an evolving competitive landscape in recent years. Prescription drugs play a significant role in healthcare, constituting a first line of treatment for many medical conditions. New and innovative drugs will improve quality of life and control healthcare costs. TheU.S. retail pharmacy industry relies significantly on private and governmental third-party payors. Many private organizations throughout the healthcare industry, including PBM companies and health insurance companies, have consolidated in recent years to create larger healthcare enterprises with greater bargaining power. Third-party payors, including the Medicare Part D plans and the state-sponsored Medicaid and related managed care Medicaid agencies inthe United States , can change eligibility requirements or reduce certain reimbursement rates. Changes in law or regulation can also impact reimbursement rates and terms. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was enacted to help control federal healthcare spending, including for prescription drugs. These changes at the federal and state level are generally expected to reduce Medicaid reimbursements in theU.S. When third-party payors or governmental authorities take actions that restrict eligibility or reduce prices or reimbursement rates, sales and margins in the retail pharmacy industry could be reduced. In some cases, these possible adverse effects may be partially or entirely offset by controlling inventory costs and other expenses, dispensing higher margin generics, finding new revenue streams through pharmacy services or other offerings, dispensing a greater volume of prescriptions or any combination of these actions. Generic prescription drugs have continued to help lower overall costs for customers and third-party payors. In theU.S. in general, generic versions of drugs generate lower sales dollars per prescription, but higher gross profit percentages, as compared with patent-protected brand name drugs. In general, in theU.S. , specialty prescription business is also growing and generates higher sales dollars per prescription, but lower gross margin, as compared to generic prescription drugs. 7
Pharmacists are on the frontlines of the healthcare delivery system, and we believe rising healthcare costs and the limited supply of primary care physicians present opportunities for pharmacists and retail pharmacies to play an even greater role in driving positive outcomes for patients and payors through expanded service offerings such as immunizations and other preventive care, healthcare clinics, pharmacist-led medication therapy management and chronic condition management. Pharmaceuticals represent a significant and growing total addressable healthcare market. The pharmaceutical market experienced significant growth in recent years as complex chronic conditions, care coordination, technology-enabled patient care, biotechnology research and outcomes-based healthcare have increased in focus. In light of accelerating usage of mail order and delivery-based services, both before and after the global COVID-19 pandemic, we believe the market for personalized and convenient care access is increasing. We have provided same-day and next-day home delivery services over the past 15 years of our operations. We are uniquely positioned inFlorida to gain an increasing market share among a broad demography of patients due to our high-performance scores and value-added services. Additionally, we see value in the opportunity to create strategic partnerships, acquire synergistic operations and expand current operations to round out pharmacy capabilities which could include specialty medications, sterile compounding, and mail-order.
Virtual healthcare services and healthcare technologies
Virtual healthcare services, or Telehealth, is a growing segment of the healthcare sector. It involves remotely exchanging patient data between locations for purposes of obtaining assistance in monitoring and diagnosing. Telehealth allows the healthcare practitioner to easily offer their services on consultation, care management, diagnosis, and self-management services using information and communication technologies. These services are being offered through various modes of delivery, such as on-premise, web-based, and cloud-based delivery. A growing population over the age of 65, the increase in the number of chronic diseases, and a rise in demand for home monitoring devices are the major drivers which are likely to aid the growth of the telehealth market. In theU.S. and globally there has been a surge in interest in digital health services as the COVID-19 pandemic upended the traditional practice of medicine. The pandemic has encouraged accelerating adoption of digital and remote health technologies by providers, and patients have seen the value in using virtual care services for routine care and consultation. Increased usage of these services has shown new methodologies for reducing healthcare spending and increasing access to patients in both rural and urban settings. CMS has recently adopted CPT codes to allow physicians to bill for virtual healthcare encounters. While those codes are initially expected to be temporarily tied to the pandemic, industry experts anticipate broader adoption of insurance acceptance of virtual healthcare claims as the broader market seeks to use the services to perform triage, lower backlogs, and increase access at lower costs than traditional healthcare encounters. Virtual healthcare today centers on singular health encounters on an as-needed basis with limited integration into the overall care management plan of the practice or the patient. We see a widening gulf between the intent of virtual care services and actual application. Market opportunities exist for us to leverage existing core competencies in remote patient monitoring and home-based care management to enhance the quality of health services provided virtually, increase connectivity and integration, and focus on the intrinsic value of the relationship between physician and patient. A growing trend involves the capturing of personal health data by smartphone apps and wearable technology. A patient can easily mislead a care provider on a questionnaire regarding what they ate or how much they exercised, but a wearable device can track and transmit healthcare data in real time without being manipulated. Getting access to personal health and fitness data could favorably impact follow-up care, too, as medical professionals are better able to monitor and communicate with patients after they are discharged from care. Patients may be able to address follow-up care without having to go back to the doctor's office or hospital, saving them time and saving the clinic or hospital money. Better follow-up care is key to lowering hospital readmission rates. In the current environment, healthcare information is increasingly fragmented with numerous electronic healthcare record platforms, virtual care systems, pharmacy software, and data silos and transmitters which lack fundamental integration. Healthcare stakeholders are often at odds about proper care techniques and this lack of alignment increases burdens on providers and patients alike and is associated with decreasing satisfaction with healthcare services and negative health outcomes. We believe our unique vision of pharmacy enabled health technology will lead the way to independent and integrated health systems. 8 Data Management Services The latest trend in healthcare is to use data to improve patient outcomes and quality of life - a practice known as "Applied Health Analytics". "Data analytics" refers to the practice of aggregating large data sets and analyzing them to draw important insights and recommendations. This process is increasingly aided by new software and technology that facilitates the examination of large volumes of data to detect hidden information. In the context of the increasingly data-reliant health care system, data management services can help derive insights on systemic wastes of resources, track individual practitioner performance, and identify people within the population that are most at risk for chronic diseases. With this information, the healthcare system can more efficiently allocate resources to deliver individualized patient care at lower costs, improve the health of the population and maximize revenues and margin in the healthcare system. Insurance companies and healthcare providers are also working to use medical data to identify and better manage high-risk, high-cost patients. Insurance companies and self-funded organizations want to identify these patients to provide early interventions that could keep patients in better health and reduce medical costs later. Another sophisticated use of this kind of healthcare data could be to use algorithms with ICU patients to foresee who is more at risk for readmission. Medical staff can then take different, proactive measures as necessary to try to lower that risk of readmission, such as precise discharge instructions, different prescriptions, or a specific follow-up visit schedule. We have a different approach to data and how to incorporate it into business and professional practice. The goal of all businesses with access to large data collections should be to harness the most relevant data and use it for optimized decision making. ClearMetrX focuses on using data-driven analytic tools to identify insights targeting three key areas where we see the potential to improve patient outcome and maximize revenue and margin for our clients:
1. Improving medication adherence. Increasing patients' adherence to medication
treatment plans means they will be healthier, reducing costly advanced
treatment claims for those patients. Third party payors will see lower claim
payments, and the physicians are rewarded with higher reimbursement under
managed care contracts with third party payors.
2. Improving patient engagement with their physicians. Reducing abandonment
while nurturing patients to comply with their therapy through education,
reminder, and medication synchronization will improve refill rates, resulting
in healthier outcomes. 3. Optimizing operational efficiency and costs.
As a result, the data provided to our physicians' practices will help doctors to
meet third party payor performance goals which will improve reimbursement
payments from third party payors.

During 2022 we have experienced significant decreases in the reimbursement rates for uninsured patients enrolled in the Gilead PREP program that became effective beginning the first quarter of 2022 that had an overall unfavorable impact on our 340B contract revenue. Dispensing fee and third-party administration revenue earned on our 340B contracts for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , and 2021 were approximately$1.1 million and$1.4 million , respectively.

SinceJanuary 2022 the demand for COVID-19 testing have slowed down as the need for testing has decreased as it relates to travel and business continuity. It is difficult to predict whether these conditions will be recurring given recent COVID-19 pandemic conditions inFlorida .

As discussed above, the increase in net loss is mainly attributable to non-operating items such as (loss) gain on debt settlement, other financing costs, and loss from the adverse change in the fair value of the derivative liability. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and certain
other items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating
performance (which items are itemized below). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP
financial measure.
We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is used by our Board and management to evaluate our operating performance. It is also used as a factor in determining incentive compensation, for budgetary planning and forecasting overall financial and operational expectations, for identifying underlying trends and for evaluating the effectiveness of our business strategies. Further, we believe it assists us, as well as investors, in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance withU.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As a non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance withU.S. GAAP and therefore you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance withU.S. GAAP. You should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation, and we do not infer that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA does not include:
? depreciation expense from property and equipment or amortization expense from
acquired intangible assets (and although they are non-cash charges, the assets
being depreciated/amortized will often have to be replaced in the future);
? interest expense on our debt and capital leases or interest income we earn on
cash and cash equivalents;
? the amounts we paid in taxes or other components of our tax provision (which
reduces cash available to us); ? change in fair value of derivatives; ? certain expenses associated with our acquisition activities; or
? the impact of share-based compensation or other matters we do not consider to
be indicative of our ongoing operations.
Further, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA
differently than we do and these calculations may not be comparable to our
Adjusted EBITDA metric. Because of these limitations, you should consider
Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net
(loss) income attributable to us and our financial results presented in
accordance with
The table below presents a reconciliation of the most directly comparableU.S. GAAP measure, net (loss) income attributable to us, to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated below:
