During the third quarter, we also saw our first revenues from our Digital Health business unit and expect revenue growth to continue as several products are launched. We also saw growth in our Population Health and Health Education Business Units.

Q3 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $1.58 million, compared to the $1.51 million reported in the third quarter of 2022. Strong growth in the Digital Health, Population Health, and Health Education business units was offset by our Healthcare Workforce.

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $554,541, reflecting a gross profit margin of 35.1%, compared to $413,809 million, or a gross profit margin of 27.3%, in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margins was due to a slight shift from healthcare staffing services to medical communication and digital health services that carry better margins.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 increased 18% to $897,557, compared to $760,600 in the third quarter of 2022. Salaries and benefits expenses increased 31%, compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to increased operations and added office personnel to support the Company's IPO process. Professional fees declined 62%, compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to decreased reliance on outsourced professional fees in connection with the prior period audit in preparation for the Company's IPO. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 56%, compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to increased operations. Depreciation expense was $14,180 in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $3,880 for the same period last year, reflecting expanded office space.

Net Loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $(354,376), compared to $(354,535) in the third quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA (see Table A) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $(329,580), compared to $(341,760) in the third quarter of 2022.

Cash on hand September 30, 2023, was $18,010. Upon the closing of its IPO on October 3, 2023, the Company collected net proceeds of $4.7M.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measure in this release and the accompanying tables: adjusted EBITDA. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of our operating performance and liquidity, and believe it is useful to investors as a supplement to GAAP measures in analyzing, trending and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. However, this measure is not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before (i) interest income, (ii) interest expense, (iii) change in allowance for doubtful accounts, (iv) depreciation, and (v) non-cash expenses relating to share-based payments recognized under ASC Topic 718. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. For reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measures under GAAP, see Table A accompanying this release.
