Ted Karkus, ProPhase Lab’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our entire team continues to generate phenomenal results. We reported
“We expect Q2 2022 to continue to produce strong year over year results. We expect to see additional waves of Covid-19 throughout the year as the BA2 sub-variant continues to mutate and as we learn more about BA4 and BA5 variants that are now spreading at an accelerated rate in other countries. For these reasons, we believe that demand for testing will continue for the foreseeable future. A significant portion of our business over the past two quarters was reimbursed by Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), which as of March 22, 2022 has stopped accepting claims for COVID-19 testing and treatment due to lack of sufficient funding. We have no way of knowing whether the HRSA program will be funded by the government in the future. However even without this funding, our business is still currently running up significantly year over year.”
“We are planning to expand our high complexity molecular diagnostics lab to include clinical testing in 2022. This will expand our menu to offer traditional testing (i.e., hematology, chemistry, immunoassays, coagulation, STDs, urinalysis etc.) Our offerings can also be tailored to the specific needs of research organizations and physicians. In parallel, we plan to build a genetics laboratory outfitted with industry leading Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to perform Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and an array of genetic diagnostic test offerings, both clinical and for research.”
“We believe this expansion will open doors to academic institutions who have a growing demand to conduct genetic research which is at the heart of precision medicine. This is in addition to our current goals to leverage our Food, Drug and Mass distribution and infrastructure to significantly grow direct to consumer sales of genetic tests and ultimately, a large variety of diagnostic tests.
We are also in the early stages of working on the development of a broad spectrum anti-viral OTC dietary supplement as well as building a pharmaceutical division that would license and develop early stage drugs with enormous potential. I look forward to sharing more information about this in the coming months.
As of March 31, 2022, we had working capital of over

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 measure 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).
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 have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results. The following table sets forth the reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding other costs to the most comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands):
| For the three months ended | ||||||||
| March 31, 2022 | March 31, 2021 | |||||||
| GAAP net income (1) | $ | 12,494 | $ | 1,057 | ||||
| Interest, net | 160 | 164 | ||||||
| Depreciation and amortization | 1,250 | 457 | ||||||
| EBITDA | 13,904 | 1,678 | ||||||
| Share-based compensation expense | 482 | 428 | ||||||
| Non-cash rent expense (2) | 10 | 186 | ||||||
| Bad debt expense (3) | 250 | - | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 14,646 | $ | 2,292 | ||||
(1) We believe that net income (loss) 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) 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.
(3) Full allowance reserved related to restricted cash.
