On May 5, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of or the Company concluded that the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2021 and February 2, 2022, respectively (the “Initial Filings”), should not be relied upon because the Company had under reported freight costs associated with immunization related mailbacks returned for treatment.

Further details related to the restatement may be found in the Form 8-K filed by the Company today, May 11, 2022.

*The Company defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as net income (loss), plus income tax expense, net interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. Other companies may define EBITDA differently. EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, EBITDA is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entity’s financial results, and accordingly, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income, net income, or cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by the Company. |
