Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized overall revenue from operations of approximately $11.4 million and $10.1 million, respectively. Net pharmacy revenues increased by approximately $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in pharmacy revenue of approximately $1.8 million and an increase in 340B contract revenue of approximately $1.2 million, which was offset by an increase in PBM fees of approximately $0.4 million and a decrease in COVID-19 testing revenue of approximately $1.2 million, when compared to the prior year period.
Gross profit margins increased from 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in gross profit margins during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily attributable to the increase in 340B contract revenue, which has higher margins than revenue generated from pharmacy operations.
Income from operations increased by approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, as a result of the increase in gross profit of approximately $0.7 million, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses of approximately $0.6million. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to a settlement of a pharmacy claims audit in the ordinary course of business in the amount of approximately $0.3 million, as well as an increase in salaries and wages of approximately $0.1 million and an increase in non-recurring consulting fees of approximately $0.2 million.
NetLoss
We had a net loss of approximately $0.1 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net loss is attributable to non-operating items primarily recorded in the prior year period such as the adverse change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, as well as the decrease in interest expense period-over-period.
