revenues.
Our pharmacy revenue is derived from customized care management programs and
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, expansion of data management and analytics services to healthcare
organizations, and through potential acquisitions.
ClearMetrX
We formed ClearMetrX in June 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. According to data from Berkeley Research
Group Industry Roundtable Report, 340B gross sales across the program is
expected to grow from $116 billion in 2021 to $280 billion in 2026.ClearMetrX
includes data management and Third Party Administration ("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.
During September 2022 , we launched our 340Metrx Platform to help 340B covered
entities increase the number of 340B qualified claims and program savings while
supporting compliance efforts. The 340MetrX platform is a software product
developed by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary ClearMetrX that provides 340B
Covered Entities with data insights to effectively operate and maximize the
benefits of the 340B program. The platform allows program administrators to
manage, in real time, data related to revenue, virtual inventory, drug
replenishment and reconciliation, detailed prescription history analysis,
customized ordering data with major wholesalers, patient information, drug
prescribing trends, and customized financial breakdowns. The software analyzes
claim records and provides a complete overview of the financial health of the
entity while diminishing the number of ineligible claims through the 340MetrX
automated review process. The 340MetrX software enhances the existing
third-party administration services ClearMetrX is currently providing to
entities by complementing in-house 340B experts with a robust reporting platform
aiming to maximize the limited resources in the 340B space through
identification and validation of missing claims, increasing the covered entity's
revenue. 340MetrX allows our data analytics processes to be significantly more
productive, giving our team an ability to seamlessly manage data for a much
greater number of 340B Covered Entities in Florida , with potential to be scaled
nationwide. We intend to take full advantage of the momentum this sector
presents and are excited to now offer customers in every part of our country a
solution that allows them to reduce efforts related to compliance and risk
mitigation, strengthen the potential to capture more revenue, and simplify
the whole 340B process. 4
Through ClearMetrX, third party administrative and data management fees for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, was approximately$0.4 million and$0.2 million , respectively. Third party administrative and data management fees for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, was approximately$0.7 million for both periods. These fees have gross margins significantly greater than those generated from our pharmacy operations.
Results of Operations - Three Month and Nine Month Comparisons
Our prescriptions revenues were 93% and 83% of total revenues for the three
months ended
revenues were 90% and 86% of total revenues for the nine months ended
30, 2022
For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized overall revenue from operations of approximately$10.1 million and$9.8 million , respectively. Prescription revenue for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 was approximately$9.4 million when compared to$8.1 million the same period in 2021, a 16% period over period increase. We have filled approximately 117,000 and 106,000 prescriptions during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , and 2021, respectively, a 10% period over period increase in the number of prescriptions filled. Revenue from COVID-19 testing was approximately$0.2 million and$1.3 million for the three months endedSeptember 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$0.2 million in COVID-19 testing revenue for the three months endedSeptember 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 nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized overall revenue from operations of approximately$30.2 million and$29.0 million , respectively, a 4% period over period increase. Prescription revenue for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 was approximately$27.3 million when compared to$24.9 million the same period in 2021, a 9% period over period increase. We have filled approximately 346,000 and 330,000 prescriptions during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , and 2021, respectively, a 5% 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$1.9 million and$2.9 million for the nine months endedSeptember 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 endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately$1.2 million and$0.7 million , respectively. Dispensing fee and third-party administration revenue earned on our 340B contracts for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , and 2021 were approximately$2.2 million and$2.1 million , respectively. As a result of a decrease in reimbursement rates from the 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 endedSeptember 30, 2022 , and an unfavorable impact of approximately$0.4 million for the nine months endedSeptember 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. 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. 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. 5

Although the global economy continued reopening in 2022 and robust economic activity has supported a continued recovery, certain geographies, most notablyChina , have experienced setbacks. The uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, including uncertainty regarding new variants of COVID-19 that have emerged and other factors have and may continue to contribute to significant volatility in the global markets. While vaccine availability and uptake has increased, the longer-term macro-economic effects on global supply chains, inflation, labor shortages and wage increases continue to impact many industries. COVID-19 and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, and results of operations. The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the full extent of the material negative impact on our financial and operational results, will depend on future developments, such as the duration and severity of the pandemic, the extent of any additional increases in cases acrossthe United States , and the related length of its impact on the global economy, as well as the timing and availability of effective medical treatments and vaccines, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The resumption of our normal business operations may be delayed or constrained by lingering effects of COVID-19 on our customers, suppliers and/or third-party service providers. Furthermore, the extent to which our mitigation efforts are successful, if at all, is not currently ascertainable. Due to the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to curb its spread, we cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, but our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows have already been materially adversely impacted, and we anticipate they will continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effects on global economic conditions. Any recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic impact may also be slowed or reversed by a variety of factors, such as any increase in COVID-19 infections. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of its national and, to some extent, global economic impact, including the current recession and any recession that may occur in the future. 6 For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, we earned approximately$1.9 million and$2.9 million , respectively from COVID-19 testing. We 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 provide contracted pharmacy services for 340B Covered Entities under the 340B Drug Discount Pricing Program. The drugs are owned by the 340B Covered Entity up until sale, so we do not incur out of pocket costs for this drug inventory. 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 and receive a dispensing fee per prescription. These fees vary by the covered entity and the level of service we provide. For our Long-Term Care customers, we provide purchasing, custom packaging and dispensing of both prescription and non-prescription pharmaceutical products.

We are able to dispense to patients in the state ofMassachusetts without a non-resident pharmacy license becauseMassachusetts does not require such a license for these activities. Data Management Services Global healthcare systems have been taxed in recent years with aging populations seeking care in greater numbers. Big data and analytics have seen large increases in the market as healthcare stakeholders seek to use information to increase efficiency, lower costs, improve patient outcomes, and innovate. Frontline and independent providers have benefitted from improvements to their digital systems, but data insights are a rare commodity. Regardless of size, digitization of healthcare as global trend will encourage the usage of data analytics to improve care and allow us to compete in an intense healthcare market. Per Fortune Business Insights Report on the Healthcare Analytics Market, the healthcare analytics market size is projected to reach$80.2 billion by 2026, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate of 27.5%. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, ClearMetrX, we offer data management and reporting services to support health care organizations. Our 340MetrX offering includes data management and TPA services for 340B Covered Entities, pharmacy analytics, and programs to manage HEDIS Quality Measures including medication adherence. These offerings address the glaring need for frontline providers to understand best practices, patient behaviors, care management processes, and the financial mechanisms driving decisions. We deliver data access and actionable insights that providers and support organizations can use to improve their
practice and patient care. 8 Remote Patient Monitoring
According to new research from MarketsandMarkets, the global Remote Patient
Monitoring ("RPM") market is projected to reach $175.2 billion by 2027, growing
at a robust 27% compound annual growth rate over the next 5 years. The National
Center for Biotechnology Information estimates that approximately 67% of
Medicare beneficiaries have two or more chronic conditions accounting for 94% of
Medicare spending. Chronic conditions have a significant impact on healthcare
spending as well as hospital readmissions. Due to this burden, the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed the Remote Patient Monitoring
(RPM) program to mitigate spending and provide clinicians with the digital data
to implement more informed treatment plans for patients enrolled in the service.
In August 2022 , we completed our web-based platform to provide services in this
rapidly growing multi-billion dollar RPM space. Our experience in medication and
therapy management and our active participation in data analytics would carry
over directly into the RPM marketplace. The implementation of patient-oriented
technologies such as wearables and 5 G-powered home devices to track
physiological data will enhance our capabilities to provide doctors with usable
insights into patients' overall health. Additionally, it will benefit our
existing physician base as well as provide a more complete suite of services for
future accounts. CMS authorizes pharmacies to work in collaboration with
providers, offering services as employees or contracted personnel and thereby
enabling the Company to bill providers and healthcare organizations for RPM
services. We believe the RPM space is set to be one of the most important growth
areas within the healthcare industry over coming years and our most logical next
step given our broad base of patients who have multiple chronic conditions. We
have differentiated ourselves from competitors in terms of commitment to
medication therapy management. Our reputation among healthcare professionals in
this domain is one of our strongest advantages.
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. 9
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. 10 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.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized overall
revenue from operations of approximately $10.1 million and $9.8 million ,
respectively. Net pharmacy revenues increased by approximately $0.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in
2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 , the increase in revenue was
mainly attributable to an increase in pharmacy revenue of approximately $1.3
million and 340B contract revenue of approximately $0.5 million , which was
offset by a decrease in COVID-19 testing revenue of approximately $1.1 million
and an increase in PBM fees of approximately $0.4 million when compared to
the same period in 2021. Gross profit margins decreased from 30% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , to 21% when compared to the same period in 2022. The 9% period over period decrease is mainly due to the decrease in COVID-19 testing revenues, which have significantly higher margins than pharmacy operations. The loss from operations increased by approximately$2.1 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , when compared to the same period in 2021, due to the decrease in COVID-19 testing revenues and increase in operating expenses, which was offset by an increase in prescription and 340B contract revenue.

Net pharmacy revenues increased by approximately$1.2 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the increase in revenue was mainly attributable to an increase in pharmacy revenue of approximately$2.4 million and an increase in 340B contract revenue of approximately$0.1 million , which was offset by a decrease in COVID-19 testing revenue of approximately$1.0 million and an increase in PBM fees of approximately$0.3 million , when compared to the same period in 2021.
Gross profit margins decreased from 27% for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , to 22% when compared to the same period in 2022. The 6% period over period decrease is mainly due to the decrease in COVID-19 testing revenues, which have significantly higher margins than pharmacy operations. The loss from operations increased by approximately$1.6 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , when compared to the same period in 2021, due to the decrease in COVID-19 testing revenue and increase in operating expenses, which was offset by an increase in pharmacy revenue and 340B contract revenue. 11 Revenue Our revenues were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 % of % of % Dollars Revenue Dollars Revenue $ Change Change Prescription revenue$ 9,397,483 93 %$ 8,125,854 83 %$ 1,271,629 16 % 340B contract revenue 1,154,166 11 670,880 7 483,286 72 Testing revenue 235,221 2 1,315,946 13 (1,080,725 ) -82 Rent and other revenue 903 - 250 - 653 261 10,787,773 106 10,112,930 103 674,843 7 PBM Fees (643,892 ) -6 (315,142 ) -3 (328,750 ) -104 Sales returns - - (265 ) - 265 -100

Net pharmacy revenues increased by approximately$0.3 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the increase in revenue was mainly attributable to an increase in pharmacy revenue of approximately$1.3 million and 340B contract revenue of approximately$0.5 million , which was offset by a decrease in COVID-19 testing revenue of approximately$1.1 million and an increase in PBM fees of approximately$0.4 million when compared to
the same period in 2021.
Prescription revenues represented 93% and 83% of all revenue for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Prescriptions revenues as a percentage of total net revenues for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , have increased when compared to the same period in 2021 due to the increase in prescription revenue of approximately$1.3 million and a decrease in revenue from COVID-19 testing of approximately$1.1 million when compared to the same period in 2021. Revenue from 340B contracts is 11% and 7% as a percentage of total net revenues for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Dispensing fee and third-party administration revenue earned on our 340B contracts for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , and 2021 were approximately$1.2 million and$0.7 million , respectively. We have filled approximately 117,000 and 106,000 prescriptions during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a 10% period over period increase in the number of prescriptions filled. 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 endedSeptember 30, 2022 , and 2021 were approximately$1.2 million and$0.7 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 endedSeptember 30, 2022 , which was offset by increase in our 340B contract revenue due to new business. 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 endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, we have earned approximately$0.2 million and$1.3 million , respectively from COVID-19 testing. The decrease was primarily due to lower COVID-19 testing sales. As the COVID-19 pandemic fading 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$0.2 million in COVID-19 testing revenue for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 compared to approximately$1.3 million for the same period in 2021. 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.

We have filled approximately 347,000 and 330,000 prescriptions during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a 5% period over period increase in the number of prescriptions filled. 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 nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , and 2021 were approximately$2.2 million and$2.1 million , respectively.

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 nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , and 2021, we have earned approximately$1.9 million and$2.9 million , respectively from COVID-19 testing. We have recorded 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 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 . 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 may provide us with recurring COVID-19 testing revenue. Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses decreased by approximately$0.2 million , or 2%, for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was mainly attributable to the following:
? Decrease in salaries, wages and employee related expenses due to period over
period decrease in headcount, and less time invested in training on pharmacy
software when compared to 2021 in the amount of approximately
? Increase in non-recurring consulting fees for assisting in calculating the
employee retention credit in the amount of approximately
? Decrease in rent expense due to non-recurring leasehold improvement related
expenses in the amount of approximately$0.2 million ; ? Decrease in amortization expense due to intangible assets being fully amortized in the amount of approximately$0.2 million ;
? Decrease in other operating expenses in the amount of approximately
million.
? Increase in non-cash share-based compensation due to accelerated vesting of
restricted stock units in the amount of approximately
of stock options in the amount of approximately$0.5 million . Other (Loss) Income Other (loss) income increased by approximately$10.0 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the following:
? An adverse change in the fair value of derivative liability of approximately
investor warrants, and NextPlat Convertible Note due to insufficient common
stock shares to settle these instruments;
? Increase in (loss) gain from debt extinguishment of approximately
due to the decrease from the forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program
("PPP") loans in the amount of approximately
non-recurring in 2022, a reduction in the
Partners notes from the excess sales of converted common stock in the amount
of approximately$0.1 million , an increase in fees associated with the extension of the maturity date of theIliad Research note in the amount of approximately$0.2 million , and an increase in debt extinguishment due to
modification of the
million;
? Increase in other finance cost associated with the
amount of approximately
? Decrease in interest expense in the amount of approximately
? Increase in grant revenue associated with employee retention credit in the
amount of approximately
? Increase in costs associated with the abandoned offering in the amount of
approximately
? Increase in costs associated with the day one loss on issuance of units of
approximately
due to insufficient authorized common stock to settle these instruments.
13 Net (Loss) Income We had a net loss of approximately$11.2 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , compared to a net income of approximately$0.4 million for the same period in 2021. As discussed above, the increase in net loss is mainly attributable to non-operating items such as gain on debt settlement, grant revenue, offset by other financing costs, non-cash stock-based compensation, abandoned offering costs, loss from the adverse change in the fair value of the derivative liability, and day one losses on issuance of units and debt modification.
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:
