Progressive Care Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2024 Revenues of $13.5 Million, an Increase of 17% as Gross Margin Expands to 35%

41% Growth in 340B Contract Service Revenue and Momentum in Prescription Volumes Drive Positive Cashflow from Operations

Miami, FL – August 14, 2024 – Progressive Care Inc. (OTCQB: RXMD) (“Progressive Care” or the “Company”), a personalized healthcare services and technology provider, today announced financial results for its second quarter of 2024. The Company reported second quarter revenues of approximately $13.5 million, a 17% increase compared to revenues reported in the second quarter of 2023. Results reflect continued increases in revenue generated from multiple 340B pharmacy service agreements secured late last year and increased prescription volumes at the Company’s PharmcoRx pharmacies.

“Progressive Care continues to benefit from strong momentum in our 340B and pharmacy business, contributing to record-setting growth and margins, and most importantly, driving positive cashflow from operations,” said Charles M. Fernandez, Chairman and CEO of Progressive Care Inc. “Our results clearly demonstrate our ability to successfully deliver value to the entire spectrum of healthcare stakeholders including patients, providers, long-term care facilities and covered 340B entities. In the months ahead, through our combination with NextPlat and our plans to invest in the further expansion of our services and technology platforms, we believe we can continue to further execute on our mission to improve the business of healthcare and the quality of care delivered to patients.”

Summary Financials for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Note on Financial Presentation

On July 1, 2023, NextPlat, Mr. Charles Fernandez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Rodney Barreto, Vice-Chairman of the Company, exercised their common stock purchase warrants in Progressive Care and collectively owned 53% of Progressive Care's voting common stock as of such date. In connection with such change in control on July 1, 2023, the application of push-down accounting created a new basis of accounting for all assets and liabilities based on their fair value at the date of acquisition. As a result, our financial results of operations subsequent to the acquisition on July 1, 2023 have been segregated to indicate pre-acquisition and post-acquisition periods. The pre-acquisition period through June 30, 2023 is referred to as the “Predecessor”. The post-acquisition period, July 1, 2023 and forward, includes the impact of push-down accounting and is referred to as the “Successor”.

For the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized overall revenue from operations of approximately $13.5 million, compared to approximately $11.6 million during the same prior year period, an overall increase of approximately $1.9 million, or 17%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in prescription revenue, net of PBM fees of approximately $1.1 million and an increase in 340B contract revenue of approximately $0.9 million, when compared to the prior year period.

Overall gross profit margins increased from 31% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to 35% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross profit of approximately $1.1 million was primarily attributable to (i) an approximately $0.1 million increase in per-prescription reimbursement rates; (ii) an approximately $0.1 million increase in pharmacy prescription volume; and (iii) an approximately $0.9 million increase in 340B contract revenue.

Loss from operations was approximately $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to an income from operations of approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in income from operations was primarily attributable to impairment losses recognized during the second quarter of 2024; see further explanation below.

Financial Results for the three months ended June 30, 2024

Revenue

Prescription revenue, net of PBM fees increased by approximately $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The favorable impact on prescription revenue, net of PBM fees, was mainly attributable to a favorable change in reimbursement rates per prescription of approximately $0.2 million, and a favorable change in pharmacy prescription volume of approximately $0.9 million.

The Company filled approximately 133,000 and 118,000 prescriptions during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a 10% period over period increase.

Dispensing fees and third-party administration (“TPA”) revenue earned on our 340B contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $3.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $0.9 million, or 41%. The increase in 340B contract revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in new 340B contracts that began towards the end of 2023.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses increased by approximately $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, when compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:

The Company performed a goodwill impairment test during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and determined that the carrying amount of goodwill at June 30, 2024 exceeded its fair value resulting in the Company recording a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $0.7 million during the period, recorded to the TPA reporting segment. As of June 30, 2024, there was no remaining goodwill.

The Company performed a long-lived assets impairment test during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and determined that the carrying amount of the asset group at June 30, 2024 exceeded its fair value resulting in the Company recording a non-cash impairment charge to certain long-lived assets, primarily intangible assets, of approximately $9.1 million during the period, of which approximately $6.6 million was recorded to the Pharmacy Operations reporting segment and approximately $2.5 million was recorded to the TPA reporting segment. As of June 30, 2024, intangible assets had a gross amount of approximately $4.0 million.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) increased by approximately $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same prior year period, primarily attributable to the recognition of debt conversion expense in the amount of approximately $5.2 million in the prior year period.

Net Loss

Net loss was approximately $9.3 million and $4.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in net loss was primarily attributable to the impairment losses recorded in the 2024 period, partially offset by the debt conversion expense recorded in the same period last year.
