Exhibit 99.1

FOXO Technologies™ Announces Full Year 2022 Financial Results and Recent Business Highlights

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, MARCH 30, 2023 — FOXO Technologies Inc. (NYSEAM: FOXO) (“FOXO” or the “Company”), a leader in commercializing epigenetic biomarkers of health and aging in life insurance, today reported financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2022 and accompanying business highlights.

“I am truly excited with the future we are building,” said Tyler Danielson, interim CEO and Chief Technology Officer of FOXO. “The challenges faced in 2022 presented us with an opportunity to take a comprehensive assessment of our business and the way we approach the market. We sought to reset our vision and mission, and identify the clear objectives that we believe are necessary to achieve them and hold ourselves accountable. Our aim is to improve and optimize human health span and lifespan by changing how life insurance companies sell and underwrite their products through the application of epigenetic science. We are on our way. We have begun selling our FOXO Longevity Report™ partnered with life insurance products and are seeking additional ways to apply epigenetic science to new and innovative products. We have realigned our workflows, eliminating much of our non-core activities, and streamlined our cost structure to preserve capital. Additionally, we have gained access to capital through the disposition of our non-core regulated insurance entity. Our strategy to create and sell products that revolutionize life insurance by leveraging epigenetics and artificial intelligence is now established. We have a great team in place with the energy, dedication, and technical background to achieve our goals and deliver stockholder value.”

Recent Business Highlights and Operational Developments

●

FOXO completed its strategic review of business operations, streamlined its processes, enhanced its focus on product delivery, completed a cost reduction plan, and increased its access to liquidity.

●

FOXO Life has recruited and contracted five distribution partner relationships reaching over 3,000 independent insurance agents to sell “Life Insurance Designed to Keep You Alive.”

●

FOXO mutually agreed to terminate its common stock purchase agreement with an institutional investor on November 8, 2022, and mutually agreed to terminate its forward share purchase agreement with another institutional investor on November 11, 2022. Neither termination carried any cash consequences.

●

FOXO has improved its cash position through the sale of FOXO Life Insurance Company, a non-core asset, gaining access to $4,751,407 that was previously held as statutory capital and surplus.

Conference Call and Webcast

FOXO will host a conference call and webcast today, March 30, 2023 at 3:15 p.m. Central Time to discuss full year 2022 results and recent business highlights.

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements for purposes of the “safe harbor” provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements other than statements of historical fact contained herein, including statements as to future results of operations and financial position, planned products and services, business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations of FOXO, market size and growth opportunities, competitive position and technological and market trends, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but not limited to, expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects, financial results or strategies regarding FOXO and the future held by the management team of FOXO, the future financial condition and performance of FOXO and the products and markets and expected future performance and market opportunities of FOXO. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “future,” “intend,” “strategy,” “may,” “might,” “strategy,” “opportunity,” “plan,” project,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “predict,” “scales,” “representative of,” “valuation,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) the risk of changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which FOXO operates, variations in operating performance across competitors or changes in laws and regulations affecting FOXO’s business, (ii) the ability to implement FOXO’s business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, (iii) the ability to obtain financing if needed, (iv) the ability to maintain its NYSE American listing, (v) the risk that FOXO has a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future, (vi) potential inability of FOXO to establish or maintain relationships required to advance its goals or to achieve its commercialization and development plans, (vii) the enforceability of FOXO’s intellectual property, including its patents and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, and (viii) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive biotechnology industry or in the markets or industries in which FOXO’s prospective customers operate, including the highly regulated insurance industry. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in FOXO’s most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, particularly the “Risk Factors” sections of those reports, and in other documents FOXO has filed, or will file, with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and FOXO assumes no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Explanatory Notes on Use of Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management periodically uses certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, non-GAAP measures may exclude the impact of certain items such as acquisitions, divestitures, gains, losses and impairments, or items outside of management’s control. Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measure provides investors and analysts useful insight into our financial position and operating performance. Any non-GAAP measure provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the most directly comparable measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Further, the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculation of similarly titled financial measures presented by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income as determined by U.S. GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to our U.S. GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net (loss) income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure to our net loss, which is its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of our business model. Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for provision for income taxes, as applicable, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, and certain other infrequent and/or unpredictable non-cash charges or benefits, such as impairment, changes in fair value of convertible debentures, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, and expenses related to the forward purchase agreement.

Tyler Danielson, Interim-CEO and Chief Technology Officer

Thank you Aisha, and thank you stockholders for joining us today. We’re going to cover a variety of topics that will highlight the opportunity that lies before us, how we plan to capture that opportunity, and the financial and operational steps we have taken to do so. I feel great about the future we have been working towards and can’t wait to share what we have been up to.

This being our inaugural call as a public company, I would like to spend some time reintroducing you to our story by briefly discussing FOXO as a leader in commercializing epigenetic biomarkers of health and aging and their application in the life insurance industry.

At its core, FOXO is a technology and science company focused on optimizing human health-span and lifespan. Many, if not most, of the leading causes of death occur as we age, and unsurprisingly, there are scientifically identifiable biological mechanisms behind this. As we begin to understand the biological science behind aging, we may in fact be able to stave off disease, stay healthier for longer, and… live longer. That’s the basis behind “longevity science” and what we are pursuing.

We are commercializing an area of longevity science called epigenetics, which is the science around gene expression. As some of you may already know, DNA, or the human genome, has been referred to as the “blueprints” for life. And, these blueprints are drawn up when you’re born. Brown hair, green eyes, tall, short, and a million different combinations of the sort.

“EPI-genetics”… how our genes are expressed… can change in response to aging, environmental factors, such as sun exposure and pollution, and lifestyle factors, such as smoking and drinking. This natural fact serves to explain why two genetically identical twins, can have dramatically different health and wellness outcomes as they age. FOXO’s unique use case for this science lies in identifying patterns of DNA methylation (or gene expression) that correlate to the very impairments that life insurance underwriters are trying to assess. Historically, insurers have attained these clinical biomarkers through numerous, and rather invasive collection methods, such as blood and urine specimens, and/or medical records. And they currently use legacy technologies to price risk. Simply put, the life insurance industry is ripe-for-change. And that’s what we are working toward… The disruption of a trillion-dollar industry.

Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, we look to decipher these epigenetic patterns and clinical biomarkers, to gain biological insights into individuals, based on one single biological sample… a simple - non-invasive - mail-in - saliva sample.

As to not mince words… spit in a tube, and our technology can potentially replicate decades of uncomfortable, annoying, invasions on the customer’s life, and at the same time, provide insurance companies the same, if not better! data, with which to price their policies.

We believe this technology can revolutionize the insurance industry by aligning the interests of insurance companies, their agents, and consumers.

Our goal is to do this by providing consumers and insurance companies with novel epigenetic data in reports that they can read and understand. The longevity report is already available as an addition to life insurance policies and we are exploring plans to expand this “Longevity Report” to other use cases. Consumers are more in-touch and interested in their health than ever before, and we are actively pursuing the multitude of applications for this science to benefit their lives.

To be clear, the goal of our products is to:

●

Provide the end consumer with new, important information like their biological age and potential risk factors that may reduce their lifespan that will tell them what they can do to live not only a longer but healthier life;

●

Allow agents to better guide their customers through financial insights into whether they are aging slower or faster, and how to plan accordingly; and

●

Ensure that insurance companies have a clear line of sight on the risk they are pricing, through science-based evidence that better informs their underwriting process.

We believe are adding value for all parties… customers, agents, and insurance companies… and that is something to be excited about.

When I became Interim CEO in November of last year, I decided to start the year by holding ourselves accountable to a manner of operational excellence that our stockholders deserve. The leadership team and I wanted to start fresh by reviewing every aspect of our business from the vision and mission, down to specific employee goals, and even…. our strategy for creating a strategy.

Our vision is to “Improve and optimize human healthspan and lifespan.”, and we believe that aligning with the goals of the insurance industry can provide the financial incentives to help improve human health.

Life insurance is one example of a major industry whose goal of having you live longer and healthier is perfectly aligned with our longevity mission. If people die younger than expected, claims go up and their margins go down. Longevity science serves as the conduit through which the consumers’ interests and insurance companies’ interests become aligned.

Along with an adjustment to our Vision and Mission, we set core values to guide our daily work as a team. We are a group of future-focused leaders who collaborate closely together and efficiently work through changes. Specifically, we plan to change and will work to adapt as we see fit to our customers, the market, and our future competitors. These are important and we’ve been working since the end of 2022 to make sure we have the right people aligned with our overall direction. And I feel that the right team is in place to serve our priorities.

We have reset all of our strategic goals, or more specifically, our objectives and key results (or, OKRs) to align with these goals, reducing, or outright eliminating much of the non-core work that we felt was taking away from our most important objectives.

Our strategic realignment allows us to focus on the most viable path forward. We have streamlined our organization, reduced operating expenses, and are a smaller team than we were 6 months ago. We realized that we couldn’t do everything we wanted to do, as excited as we were about the ideas we have. This meant aligning the team from the very top on down. Every objective that anyone working at FOXO is connected and moves the company in the same direction. We let go of things that didn’t move us quickly towards revenue and reduce risk of overexposing ourselves to a difficult market. Our narrowed strategy is meant to go directly after what we’ve tested and learned in the market and know will work.

With that said, I’d like to introduce our new Chief Operating Officer, Taylor Fay. Taylor has been with FOXO since 2018 as one of the first 5 employees and is spearheading our short and long-term strategy planning & execution. I’ll pass it on to him to chat through what we’ve been doing.

Taylor Fay, Chief Operating Officer

Thanks, Tyler. I’m thrilled to be a part of this dynamic hardworking team and am looking forward to taking this company forward with a disciplined focus and excitement around bringing additional products to market in 2023.

We have reorganized our workstreams around a much more focused OKR framework so that we can guide the daily tactical work of the team and connect that work to the overall focus of the company.

From a business standpoint, we see the use of a non-invasive saliva-based test as an industry-changing opportunity for life insurers. This is our top long term company priority, and we want our resource use to reflect that. One key challenge that we aim to manage is the cost of testing, and we see many opportunities to reduce it.

In collaboration with a major research institution, we have generated one of the largest epigenetic datasets with decades of follow-up data on health and mortality measures. We are now entering the analytic phase in collaboration with top academic scientists to accelerate the research and further inform our product development activities.

In summary, the three core objectives for our business are:

●

One - Create an engaging customer experience that helps our customers live longer and healthier;

●

Two - Sell Life insurance that is designed to keep you alive; and,

●

Three – Bring an underwriting tool to market

I will now turn the call over to our CFO Robby Potashnick to discuss our financials.

Over to you Robby

ROBBY POTASHNICK – CFO

Thank you, Taylor and hello everyone. I'll now recap our financial results for the year ended December 31st, 2022. For the year ended December 31st, 2022, net loss was $95.3 million or $8.40 per share, compared with a net loss of $38.5 million or $6.61 per share during the same period in 2021. Increases in operating expenses drove nearly half of the increase in net loss with a large portion related to equity-based compensation. Non-operating expenses were responsible for the remaining change. These primarily related to the forward purchase agreement and changes in fair value measurements.

Adjusted EBITDA provides additional insight into our underlying, ongoing operating performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons by excluding the earnings impact of interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, investment impairment, non-cash change in fair value of convertible debentures, and equity-based compensation. Management believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA is more representative of our operational performance and may be more useful for investors. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA can be found in our annual report. For the year ended December 31st, 2022, ADJUSTED EBITDA was $(19.8) million compared with ADJUSTED EBITDA of $(15.0) million during the same period in 2021. We had substantial non-cash activities in both periods primarily related to fair value measurements and equity-based compensation, including amounts related to the consulting agreement and other third parties compensated in stock. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2022, ADJUSTED EBITDA includes an addback related to the Forward Purchase Agreement as this agreement was canceled and represents a non-recurring charge related to capitalization activities.

Research and development expenses were approximately $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily related to the stock based compensation to third parties, the amortization of our intangible assets and cloud computing arrangements, and implementation of our business plan, including efforts to support the long-term growth of our business. One of our main initiatives has been to maintain financial discipline. As part of our business plan, we have simplified our operations and have taken actions to significantly reduce expenses, preserving capital. FOXO Life Insurance Company, was divested, gaining us access to approximately $4.7 million that was previously held as statutory capital and surplus.

We are actively seeking ways to further capitalize the Company to execute on our business plan that Tyler and Taylor just detailed.

That completes my financial summary.

Now, I will turn the call over to Tyler for closing remarks.

Closing – Tyler Danielson, Interim-CEO, Chief Technology Officer

Thanks Robby.

We have been moving quickly to get the right strategy in place to increase adoption and grow revenue. We are also working hard on bringing more value to what epigenetic testing currently is and thinking about how after multiple tests we can show achievement in a way people can improve their lives both immediately, and over time, as they age.

We are very excited about epigenetic science and where this is all going. While the insurance market is historically slow to change, we feel we have a value proposition.

We also know that the market is going to evolve and we are actively looking for ways to adapt to our customer's needs and their agents who need us. We believe the opportunity is very large here and we intend to go right at it.

Thank you, stockholders. I’ll now pass it back to the operator to close out the meeting.
