Ted Karkus, ProPhase Lab’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While working on Wall Street in the 90’s, I learned that when it comes to investing, particularly in small cap development stage companies, bet on the jockey and not the horse. My fellow shareholders, you have all bet on the right jockey. Our results over the past decade and in particular over the last few years, which have proven to be a very difficult period for many companies, have been extraordinary for our company, and 2022 was no exception. I am so proud of our entire management team for what we have collectively accomplished, and the platform that we have built together to provide an exciting future for our company and our shareholders.”
Mr. Karkus continued, “A decade ago, we inherited a cold brand with declining sales. Management had the skill and foresight to turn it around and sell it for
“I am truly pleased with our full year 2022 revenues of
“I believe that it is our destiny to build a multi-billion-dollar company together,” continued Mr. Karkus. “While our financial results have been stellar, we believe that our diversification strategy, which began in 2022, will make our previous successes seem trivial in comparison to what is yet to come. Over the past two years, we have taken advantage of the bear market in micro-cap development stage biotech and life sciences companies and licensed and/or acquired some fantastic assets that will gestate and become potentially billion-dollar franchises on their own.”
“As our COVID-19 and flu testing slows in 2023, we believe that the underlying value of our other subsidiaries will continue to grow rapidly and will more than make up for the slowdown in our diagnostics business and will reward our shareholders significantly over time. Several of these subsidiaries are already beginning to operate exceptionally well.”
Mr. Karkus elaborated, “Revenues from our Pharmaloz Manufacturing subsidiary are up approximately
“We are confident that combining Nebula Genomics’ comprehensive genomic testing with our CLIA-certified lab capabilities will lead to faster turnaround times and lower price points, driving additional demand,” Mr. Karkus continued. “We also plan to offer low-pass genomic testing at significantly lower price points. This will allow us to leverage our distribution network of more than 40,000 food, drug, and mass retail stores to further expand direct-to-consumer and big-box retail distribution of Nebula’s Genomic sequencing products and services. Additional goals include the development of partnerships for Nebula Genomic’s proprietary library, research collaborations with universities, and leveraging the Nebula Genomics database. Furthermore, we believe our lab will be one of the most sophisticated in the nation and therefore could become the go to spot for all genetic sample processing. Each of these initiatives could significantly grow sales as we look forward to 2023 and beyond.”
Mr. Karkus continued, “We are very excited to be developing the BE-Smart Esophageal Cancer Test. Testing is ongoing at mProbe in collaboration with Dr. Hartley and The Mayo Clinic as well as with several other Key Opinion Leaders around the country. As described in recent press releases, we believe the BE-Smart test has multi-billion-dollar potential with minimal competition and significant unmet need. We expect to pursue initial commercialization of the BE-Smart test later this year as a laboratory developed test (LDT) and for research use only (RUO) for cash payment. Full commercialization backed by insurance is expected to commence in the first half of 2024 once CPT codes are obtained for insurance reimbursement. In parallel, we are also in current discussions to explore strategic opportunities to potentially develop, commercialize and distribute our BE-Smart test globally. These global opportunities may be even larger than in the United States. In the longer-term we feel that our knowledge gained from the BE-Smart test could also lead to some significant opportunities for therapeutic applications for Esophageal Adeno Carcinoma (EAC).”
“As shareholders, we look for catalysts to drive performance,” added Mr. Karkus. “We believe our ProPhase BioPharma subsidiary has exciting potential in both the short-term and the long-term. We are currently conducting clinical studies of Equivir (OTC/dietary supplement), a broad based anti-viral, and anticipate launching Equivir (OTC/dietary supplement) in the United States in the second half of this year. We believe that this product has significant potential as a dietary supplement and leverages our core infrastructure from when we owned the Cold-EEZE Cold Remedy brand. Our Linebacker cancer compound (LB-1) continues to demonstrate excellent pre-clinical results as a potential cancer co-therapy for several billion-dollar cancer drugs. These studies are continuing at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and we look forward to reporting additional progress in the second quarter of this year. Longer term, we do not plan to spend significantly on this development path and plan to sell, license or joint venture Linebacker once Phase 1 human clinical studies are completed at minimal cost to ProPhase shareholders.”
“And finally, our diversification strategy for our diagnostics laboratory is proceeding nicely. Our clinical lab and our genomics lab have both been fully constructed with equipment installed. We are in the final stages of completing clinical validations to ensure testing accuracy for regulatory obligations. Our genomics laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art genomics equipment, which provides us with the opportunity to potentially be the low-cost provider of all whole genome sequencing in the United States, as well as a leading provider of other genomics tests.
We will also continue to evaluate and pursue additional strategic and synergistic acquisitions to build our precision medicine and genomics research capabilities with the help of world-renowned genomics expert, George Church, co-founder of Nebula Genomics and Russ Altman, both of whom are advisors to ProPhase Labs.”
Mr. Karkus concluded, “As the largest shareholder in the Company, my primary concern has always been on creating value and a return on investment, on both an absolute and per share basis. While long-term performance is really just a series of good short-term executions, I remain focused on both the near-term and the long-term. In 2022, we returned a total of 1.3 million shares to the Company from the combination of our common stock repurchase plan and cashless stock options exercised at a total value of

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Reconciliation
(unaudited)
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results of operations as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. The primary non-GAAP financial measures we disclose are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding acquisition costs, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges (as described in the table below).
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations because we believe they provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s ongoing economic performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results primarily because they exclude amounts that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization. In addition, we believe that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze our historical results and in providing estimates of future performance and that failure to report these non-GAAP measures could result in confusion among analysts and others and create a misplaced perception that our results have underperformed or exceeded expectations.
The following table sets forth the reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding other costs to the most comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands):

(1) We believe that net income is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measure the Company’s operating performance without regard to certain expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in the industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
(2) Transaction cost related to the Nebula acquisition.
(3) The non-cash portion of rent, which reflects the extent to which our GAAP rent expense recognized exceeds (or is less than) our cash rent payments. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, while for more mature leases, rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.
