Ted Karkus, ProPhase Lab’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our entire team continues to generate phenomenal results. We reported
“We expect Q3 2022 to continue to produce strong year-over-year results as schools reopen and as the incidence of COVID-19 is now trending higher once again. We also expect to see additional waves of COVID-19, and note that the BA4 and BA5 variants are now spreading at an accelerated rate in the U.S. For these reasons, we believe that demand for testing will continue for the foreseeable future. A significant portion of our business in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022 was reimbursed by Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), which as of March 22, 2022 stopped accepting claims for COVID-19 testing and treatment due to lack of sufficient funding. However, even without HRSA funding, we have seen continued profitability and strong year-over-year results, thanks in large part to our team’s ability to pivot quickly and develop a highly effective strategy for testing without HRSA, which includes proprietary IT for building our business.”
Mr. Karkus continued, “We are planning to expand our high complexity molecular diagnostics lab to include clinical testing and 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 personal 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 recently formed ProPhase BioPharma to license and develop novel drugs with significant potential. We obtained exclusive rights worldwide to develop and commercialize Equivir (OTC) and Equivir G (Rx), broad based anti-virals. We also licensed at minimal cost the patented Linebacker (LB-1 and LB-2) portfolio. The initial goal is to develop LB-1 as an anti-cancer agent to be used as a co-therapy that targets PIM kinase receptors, a growth factor expressed in cancer. Pre-clinical studies have shown promising results.”
“Our estimated budget for these cancer drugs is under

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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).
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 believes 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):
| For the three months ended | ||||||||
| June 30, 2022 | June 30, 2021 | |||||||
| GAAP net income (1) | $ | 7,446 | $ | (1,395 | ) | |||
| Interest, net | 176 | 109 | ||||||
| Income tax expense | 2,965 | - | ||||||
| Depreciation and amortization | 1,267 | 503 | ||||||
| EBITDA | 11,854 | (783 | ) | |||||
| Share-based compensation expense | 528 | 1,076 | ||||||
| Non-cash rent expense (2) | 11 | 186 | ||||||
| Bad debt expense (3) | - | - | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 12,393 | $ | 479 | ||||
(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 ccordance 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.
