ProPhaseLabs Announces Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 and Significant Progress in Its Strategic Initiatives


NebulaGenomics secures major international B2B deal – Additional significant B2B deals in final stages


Aheadof schedule, Pharmaloz Manufacturing accelerates capacity expansion – set for rapid revenue and profit growth


Completesfull transition and right sized operation in Q4 from clinical lab to cutting edge genomics lab

Companyto hold a conference call Friday March 15, 2024, at 11:00 AM ET

Garden City, NY – March 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – ProPhase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPH) (“ProPhase” or the “Company”), a next-generation biopharma, genomics, and diagnostics company, today reported its financial and operational results for the full-year ended December 31, 2023.

The end of 2023 marked a period of significant capacity expansion and growth for Pharmaloz Manufacturing Inc. (PMI) as well as a pivotal transformation for the Company, transitioning from a clinical laboratory framework to a leader in whole genome sequencing.

There is a significant shortage of lozenge manufacturing capacity in both the U.S. and globally. The Company is now in late-stage negotiations with four major lozenge brands. All are short manufacturing capacity and need a reliable FDA approved manufacturer. PMI recently acquired cutting-edge automation equipment and, with other operating efficiencies, is set to escalate plant capacity by over 50% immediately, raising annual production capability from below $10 million to over $15 million. The installation of a second lozenge production line and further automation in Q2 2024 are projected to approximately triple capacity entering Q3 to a $45 million potential run-rate (an increase from previous Company guidance of $30-35 million). Additional equipment set to arrive by Q4 2024 could increase annual production capabilities in the first half of 2025 to a range of $80-$100 million (also an increase from earlier guidance).

Regarding Nebula Genomics, given the positive reception at major genomics conferences during 2023 and demand for whole genome sequencing, management determined that the opportunity for its business was so significant that it shifted significant laboratory resources to whole genome sequencing and eliminated certain legacy clinical lab initiatives, including equipment and personnel. During this transformative phase to right size and focus the laboratory operations, ProPhase faced numerous one-time charges, including more than $2.4 million in startup costs. It also equipped Nebula Genomics with four platforms of state-of-the-art technology. With this significant repositioning completed, Nebula Genomics can now deliver low-cost, high-precision genomic diagnostics across North America and the global market.

Depending on market conditions, our ability to generate enhanced revenues, and other factors, the Company anticipates that there will be a significant sequential improvement in revenues and EBITDA going forward, driven by strategic advancements across its subsidiaries. Key recent developments include:

1. Nebula<br> Genomics has marked a milestone with the execution of an international revenue generating business-to-business (B2B) agreement with<br> MenaDNA, Inc. This agreement presents the possibility for significant expansion of its global footprint and paves the way for prospective<br> future revenue streams. Several additional and meaningful distribution arrangements, both domestically as well as internationally,<br> are anticipated during the next few months, if not sooner, but cannot be assured.
2. Our<br> Pharmaloz Manufacturing subsidiary has significantly increased its production capabilities with the addition of new automation equipment<br> and additional equipment to be installed in the coming months. With the recent acquisition of significant new customers, recent price<br> increases and potential additional major deals on the near-term horizon, the Company is already experiencing a dramatic increase<br> in both revenues and profits, which the Company expects to continue as the year progresses subject to market conditions and other<br> factors.
3. The<br> BE-Smart Esophageal Cancer Test and the dietary supplement Equivir are both anticipated to be in commercialization in the coming<br> months and may provide significant contributions to both the top and bottom line in the second half of 2024.

Additional corporate highlights and recent positive developments, include the following:

1) Nebula Genomics
Analyzes<br> greater than 99% of human DNA compared to typical ancestry tests that analyze less than 1%.
Has<br> a world-class, proprietary bioinformatics platform to provide deep genetic health information, rare genetic mutations plus ancestry<br> at highly competitive prices.
Data<br> protected by world-class cyber security.
Signed<br> a major international business to business agreement with MenaDNA, a large, well-placed distribution company that will enable us<br> to grow our presence globally.
On<br> the verge of signing another major long-term international agreement that, if signed, could represent an initial $10-$20 million<br> in annual revenues. Additional significant agreements are also currently in the final negotiation stages.
Acquired<br> a second high-capacity whole genome sequencing machine and are currently creating an optimized automated workflow to ensure high<br> throughput low fail genomic sequencing runs.
The<br> second high-capacity machine brings our total low pass (1X WGS) throughput potential to over 2 million specimens per year equating<br> to $150-$200+ million in potential revenue capacity.
Hired<br> several key industry veterans and streamlined existing clinical laboratory personnel.
Began<br> offering genetic counseling to our direct consumer customers.
2) Pharmaloz Manufacturing
--- --- ---
Generated<br> revenues of just over $9 million in 2023. Due to better-than-expected efficiencies resulting from recently installed automation equipment,<br> capacity estimates are increased from $30 million to now $45 million in revenues once the second lozenge line is installed entering<br> Q3 2024. Capacity estimates are expected to increase from a range of $60-$80 million to $90-$100 million with estimated 20-25% pre-tax<br> net profit margins once the third and fourth lozenge lines are installed in the first half of 2025.
There<br> is a significant shortage of lozenge manufacturing capacity in both the U.S. and globally. The Company is now in late-stage negotiations<br> with four major lozenge brands. All are short manufacturing capacity and need a reliable FDA approved manufacturer.
The<br> Company estimates that to build a new manufacturing facility from scratch with the capacity that Pharmaloz will have next year might<br> cost $100+ million and take 5+ years to complete with FDA approvals. And of course, this would not include customers.
Recently<br> announced the signing of two significant deals representing over $5 million in additional revenues per year. Manufacturing has already<br> begun for the first of these deals. Both deals could expand significantly in the future.
Engineering<br> completed the design of phase 1 and phase 2 plans to take the plant from 1 lozenge line to a potential of up to 7 operational lines<br> within the next four years and a potential of over $250 million in annual capacity.
New<br> liquid fill equipment ahead of schedule for delivery in Q2 allowing for new higher margin business lines.
Existing<br> customers accepted an average increase of 15.2% for production beginning in 2024.
Passed<br> the 3-year FDA audit with no citations.

--- --- ---
Completed<br> additional samples which are currently being analyzed by Stat King, a division of Genesis Drug Discovery and Development, in order<br> to further validate the 90%+ sensitivity and specificity of the BE-Smart Esophageal Cancer test.
Commercialization<br> discussions continue with multiple potential global partners.
Company<br> on track to commercialize BE-Smart in the second half of 2024.
Development<br> on track with goal to receive Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes in mid- 2024 for insurance reimbursement.
Working<br> in collaboration with CDx Diagnostics to analyze multiple samples from individual patients in order to continue to perfect the multistage<br> prediction algorithm.
Working<br> in conjunction with multiple groups to fully develop the ‘advanced traffic light’ approach of green, yellow, orange,<br> and red to assess distinct levels of cancer risk, leading to optimized treatment approaches. This approach may lead to insurance<br> companies mandating the use of the BE-Smart test for endoscopies performed on Barrett’s Esophagus patients.
On<br> track to assess RNA Seq data confirming the presence of the 8 major proteins discovered by the BE-Smart cancer test that are patent<br> protected. Also, in the process of confirming the lack of meaningful expression of other proteins currently used as the gold standard.<br> Ultimately, this will further support BE-Smart’s potential advantage vs. all existing competing technologies.
**** 4) Equivir
Completed<br> enrollment of over 329 patients with last patient starting at the beginning of the 2024.
Released<br> impressive interim results from 152 patients at the 90-day mark.
Out<br> of the total number of upper respiratory incidents, 68% were in the placebo group vs only 32% in the Equivir group.
Initial<br> data was better than initially expected with the full data set anticipated to be available by the end of June 2024.
Pharmaloz<br> is planning to ramp up production of the Equivir capsules with a second half 2024 launch timeframe.
Currently<br> working with our distribution partner to leverage distribution in over 40,000 food, drug and mass retail stores.
5) Other financial highlights
Q4<br> 2023 secured a low interest rate mortgage on the Pharmaloz plant.
Subsequent to year-end 2023:
Realized<br> over $3.6 million on the partial sale of an investment.
Raised<br> over $2.5 million by securitizing a small portion of outstanding receivables.
Increased<br> monthly accounts receivable collections with current collection partner.

Ted Karkus, ProPhase Lab’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In Q4, ProPhase Labs made a strategic pivot, transitioning from a clinical lab to a cutting-edge whole genome sequencing (WGS) lab, marking a significant turning point in our journey. This shift, while costly, has positioned us on a trajectory for exponential growth. We divested our clinical lab equipment to upscale our WGS capabilities, believing we now possess the nation’s most advanced WGS technology. This move not only sets us apart in a competitive landscape marked by operational and security challenges but also aligns with our vision to meet the burgeoning global demand for our services. This transition is already paying dividends with a significant B2B agreement in place and more anticipated to follow in the coming weeks and months. Furthermore, over the last six years, Nebula Genomics has compiled extensive whole genome data from 120+ countries, revealing a hidden and valuable asset that we are eager to update shareholders further in the coming weeks. This underscores our commitment to innovation and our potential to transform global health insights while continuing to build significant underlying value in our Company.

Pharmaloz, once an undeveloped asset, has emerged as a powerhouse in the lozenge industry, driven by unprecedented demand. Our collaboration with a top engineering firm has enabled a scalable expansion plan, increasing our production capacity significantly without the need for additional labor. This strategic growth, coupled with cutting-edge automation, is set to redefine Pharmaloz’s market position, offering substantial value to our stakeholders, high margin revenue and opening avenues for several strategic opportunities.

ProPhase Biopharma has seen remarkable progress, particularly with the BE-Smart technology, which stands to revolutionize gastrointestinal diagnostics and treatment if successful. Our advancements in this area underscore our commitment to innovation and patient care.

The promising interim results from Equivir’s trials highlight its potential to significantly impact respiratory health, with plans already underway for a widespread commercial launch. Our established retail network will play a crucial role in making Equivir accessible to a broad audience.

As we move forward, our focus remains on driving value across all subsidiaries, with a clear vision of realizing and maximizing shareholder value. The strategic initiatives and operational advancements in Q4 have laid a solid foundation for future growth. With the current capacity expansions and revenue acceleration at Pharmaloz Manufacturing, I believe that this subsidiary alone, later this year, may be worth more than the entire current market cap of the Company. In parallel, the value of Nebula Genomics should grow considerably in the coming quarters as our B2B initiatives take shape and potentially accelerate revenues in the coming quarters. Suffice it to say, the outlook for ProPhase Labs has never been more promising.”

FinancialResults


December31, 2023 compared with December 31, 2022


Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, decreased $77.4 million, or 63.1%, to $45.2 million compared to $122.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in net revenue was the result of a $83.5 million decrease from diagnostic services, and a $6.1 million increase from consumer products. The decrease in net revenue for diagnostic services was due to decreased COVID-19 testing volumes compared to the 2022 period as a result of the highly contagious Omicron variant, which emerged in early 2022. Overall diagnostic testing volume decreased from approximately 1,000,000 tests for the year ended December 31, 2022, to approximately 480,000 tests for the year ended December 31, 2023, of which 29% were reimbursed by the HRSA uninsured program for the year ended December 31, 2022, and none were reimbursed from the HRSA uninsured program for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $29.0 million, comprised of $11.8 million for diagnostic services and $17.2 million for consumer products. Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $52.0 million comprised of $39.9 million for diagnostic services and $12.1 million for consumer products.

We realized a gross profit of $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $70.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of $54.4 million was comprised of a decrease of $55.4 million in diagnostic services, partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in consumer products. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 we realized an overall gross margin of 35.9% and 57.6%, respectively. Gross margin for diagnostic services was 52.6% and 63.2% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross margin for consumer products was 15.6% and 15.5% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross margin for consumer products have historically been influenced by fluctuations in quarter-to-quarter production volume, fixed production costs and related overhead absorption, raw ingredient costs, inventory mark to market write-downs and timing of shipments to customers.

Diagnostic expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $1.9 million as compared to $12.0 million of diagnostic expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in diagnostic expenses of $10.1 million was primarily due to was due to decreased COVID-19 testing volumes for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 as a result of the Omicron variant, which emerged in early 2022.

General and administration expenses increased $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $34.5 million, as compared to $34.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in general and administration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 was was principally related to an increase in personnel expenses, marketing and professional fees associated with the Company’s strategic initiatives.

| --- |

Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The increase in research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 was principally due to increased activities at ProPhase BioPharma. These activities include product research and field testing.

As a result of the effects described above, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $16.8 million, or $(0.98) per share, as compared to a net income of $18.5 million, or $1.17 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2022. Diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $(0.98) and $1.02, respectively.

Our aggregate cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2023, were $2.1 million as compared to $9.1 million at December 31, 2022. Our working capital was $26.7 million and $44.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $7.0 million in our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to (a) the proceeds from the sale of marketable debt securities of $3.8 million, (b) the proceeds from the maturities of marketable debt securities of $4.2 million, (c) the proceeds for issuance of notes payable and mortgage loan of $10.5 million, and (d) the proceeds from warrant exercise of $1.2 million, offset by (i) $11.3 million cash used in operating activities, (ii) the asset purchase of Stella of $2.9 million, (iii) repurchase of common shares for payment of statutory taxes due on cashless exercise of options for $5.4 million, (iv) repurchase of common shares for $0.6 million, (v) purchase marketable debt securities of $3.8 million, and (vi) capital expenditures of $3.2 million.

Non-GAAPFinancial Measure and Reconciliation

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results of operations as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. The primary non-GAAP financial measures we disclose are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding acquisition costs, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges (as described in the table below).

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations because we believe they provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s ongoing economic performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results primarily because they exclude amounts that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization. In addition, we believe that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze our historical results and in providing estimates of future performance and that failure to report these non-GAAP measures could result in confusion among analysts and others and create a misplaced perception that our results have underperformed or exceeded expectations.

The following table sets forth the reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding other costs to the most comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands):

For the years ended
(unaudited) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
GAAP net income ^(1)^ $ (16,782 ) $ 18,463
Interest, net 1,197 611
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) (6,018 ) 4,445
Depreciation and amortization 6,277 4,718
EBITDA (15,326 ) 28,237
Share-based compensation expense 4,560 3,986
Non-cash rent expense ^(2)^ 117 236
Bad debt expense 91 6,163
Adjusted EBITDA $ (10,558 ) $ 38,622
^(1)^ We<br> believe that net income is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable<br> to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measure the Company’s operating performance without regard to certain<br> expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s computation of EBITDA<br> and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in the industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools<br> and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
--- ---
^(2)^ The<br> non-cash portion of rent, which reflects the extent to which our GAAP rent expense recognized exceeds (or is less than) our cash<br> rent payments. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, while for more mature leases,<br> rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.
