Conference Call Highlights

In addition to comprehensively covering the record-breaking financial performance metrics for the quarter ended September 30, the Company also discussed the impact of its recent FPRX acquisition, the driving forces behind the recent trend in expanding gross margins, a planned move to full SEC reporting status leading to an uplisting of shares onto a major US exchange, and its transformative vision for 2020.

The Company noted that the FPRX acquisition and PharmcoRx growth is driving material positive impact on balance sheet metrics, with positive cash flows now translating into additional ammunition for continued high-ROI investments. FPRX integration is also significantly boosting accounts receivable. The Company expects this dynamic to continue to significantly drive positive balance sheet effects in Q4 results.

The Company also discussed consolidation of physical locations and relocation of corporate offices, which will contribute to additional bottom line gains over time, including a $300k reduction in costs through lease savings that will appear in Q1 2021 results.

The Company also discussed its vision for the future, and noted that a dramatic realignment toward a scalable model with national reach is in progress, including a transformation from a pharmacy model to a comprehensive health services model that includes significant expansion in products and services, including RXMD Therapeutics branded products in the CBD and nutraceutical space, as well as a defining expansion into the Telehealth marketplace.

The Company believes its vision for monetization in telemedicine has the potential to be disruptive in the healthcare space, and will have powerful synergies with its existing legacy pharmacy business and its emerging RXMD Therapeutics. The opportunity to capitalize on its in-house expertise to expand through disruptive technology while providing needed care and services to underserved populations is a powerful step that will drive shareholder value while achieving a tremendous positive social impact. Targeting a leadership position in this market will be a signature objective for the Company in 2020.

“Get ready for a transformation,” continued Mars. “We are extremely excited about the opportunity to monetize telemedicine in a manner that will truly change the game as it is currently played. We look forward to introducing current and prospective shareholders to this vision in the months ahead. 2019 has been a breakout year. But the core message that we have right now for our shareholders is this: expect a transformative evolutionary leap to a vastly more scalable, diversified, and higher margin Progressive Care in 2020 and beyond.”
