HealthWarehouse.com Reports Results for First Quarter 2020

HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (OTC: HEWA) announced today that its net sales for the first quarter of 2020 were $4,527,339, a 16% increase over the same quarter in 2019. It reported a loss from operations of $12,473 for the quarter but positive cash flow, as reflected by its internal measure of Adjusted EBITDA as defined below, which was $137,900 in the first quarter. The Company also reported that the number of visitors to its website eclipsed 1.1 million in March 2020, a record level.

HealthWarehouse.com is an online mail-order pharmacy authorized to sell and deliver prescription medications to all 50 states and is one of the first National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) Approved Digital Pharmacies.

"We are pleased to announce strong revenue growth during this unprecedented time while also generating positive cash flow during the first quarter," said Joseph Peters, the Company's President and CEO. "Our focus on operational infrastructure over the past few years positioned us well to capitalize on the shift in consumer demand toward transparent pricing, secure shipping and handling, and convenient online services to fill their healthcare needs," Peters said. "These historic circumstances have prompted the public to catch up with where our business and service models have been for years. To further complement our offerings, we have teamed up with telemedicine groups such as DocTalkGo.com and OurDoctor.com to help Americans with a range of health needs, from urgent care to managing chronic conditions."

As evidence of the shift in consumer preference to online ordering, Peters referenced a threefold increase in the number of visitors to the Company's website since the beginning of the year, eclipsing 1.5 million visitors during April 2020 and over 3.5 million year to date. "Like other direct-to-consumer e-commerce businesses, we appreciate how vital website traffic is to building and growing the business," said Peters.

Peters added, "It is a testament to our business and our team members that once again we generated positive cash flow despite incurring additional expenses and dedicating resources to ensure the safety of our employees as they provide the high level of service our customers have come to expect. We continue to serve as a trusted source for purchasing medications delivered direct to consumers adhering to stay-at-home directives."

Peters noted that Healthwarehouse.com is an essential business and continues to operate during the pandemic. Sixty percent of its 110 employees work from home, with an eventual goal of having 75% of them perform their work functions remotely.

Peters added, "Work-from-home programs and on-site measures have assured business continuity when it is most essential, and enabled us to handle the recent surge in our prescription and over-the-counter business. These efforts have allowed us to continue to help the millions of Americans turning to digital healthcare services."

Peters said the Company's teams remain dedicated to providing customers with excellent pharmacy experiences through compassion, convenience and transparency.

"We were able to handle the pandemic admirably thanks to the tireless efforts of our employees, whose passion and dedication to each and every patient is the foundation to our company's mission," he said. "They met the challenge of rapidly changing procedures, surging order volume, and transitioning to remote work head-on, and we can't thank them all enough."

Use of Non­GAAP Financial Measures

HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (the "Company") prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are commonly used. In addition to adjusting net loss to exclude interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation, and certain nonrecurring charges. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, Adjusted EBITDA is used internally in planning and evaluating the Company's performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of this metric offers lenders and other shareholders an additional view of the Company's operations that, when coupled with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company's performance.
