Gross profit margins decreased from 30% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, to 21% when compared to the same period in 2022. The 9% period over period decrease is mainly due to the decrease in COVID-19 testing revenues, which have significantly higher margins than pharmacy operations.

We experienced a number of non-recurring and non-cash charges to our net loss in the third quarter that were attributable to the recapitalization of our debt and the capital raise associated with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock.

Among them, we incurred non-recurring costs direct and attributable from securities attorneys, investment banker fees, stock compensation expense, gain on debt extinguishment, and accounting fees. These non-recurring costs approximated over $1.2 million. We incurred non-cash charges as a result of the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants and convertible debt due to insufficient authorized shares to settle these instruments and was approximately $7.8 million.

We had negative adjusted EBITDA of approximately $900 thousand for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to positive EBITDA of approximately $700 thousand for the same period in 2021. Our EBITDA was negatively impacted by the non-recurring charges associated with the recapitalization of our debt and capital raise associated with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock.

Our cash position was over $7.3 million at September 30, 2022, which was positively impacted by the cash proceeds received from the preferred stock issuance. We plan to utilize some of the proceeds for marketing.
