First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
*QHSLab began selling Digital Medicine Subscriptions and Services in the third quarter of 2022 and reported 324% Sequential Recurring Revenue Growth in Q1 2023 Compared to Q4 2022 for its Digital Medicine Integrated Service Program (ISP).
- Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $352,799, an increase of $85,082 over revenues of $267,717 reported in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to growth in both Digital Medicine Subscriptions and Digital Medicine ISP sales, which the Company initiated in the third quarter of 2022.
- First-quarter 2023 sales of Digital Medicine Subscriptions were $20,461 compared to fourth-quarter 2022 sales of $12,350; first-quarter 2023 sales of Digital Medicine ISP Services were $34,467 compared to sales of $8,137 in the prior quarter. Digital Medicine ISP Service sales grew by 324% sequentially in Q1 2023 compared to Q4 2022.
- The Company generated a gross profit of $187,342, or a gross margin of approximately 53.1%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to a gross profit of $135,015, or a gross margin of 50.4% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the larger base of sales as well as the transition to higher margin software as a service (SaaS) income.
- Net operating loss (NOL) of $120,758 in Q1 2023 decreased by 17.1% compared to $145,701 in Q4 2022 due to higher gross profit margin and top-line revenue.
Operational Highlights
We are currently generating digital medicine subscription recurring revenues from a small customer base of 11 practices and digital medicine service revenues are being generated from 14 medical practices. Together with these physician customers we have proven the business model, customer reimbursement profile and patient satisfaction achieved by our QHSLab Digital Assessment Tools, providing a strong platform to expand our digital medicine offerings to a larger base of primary care providers. We commenced more aggressive customer sales and marketing efforts this past quarter targeted at the key primary physician market.
We expect Digital Medicine ISP service revenue to grow by approximately 100% in Q2 2023 with the addition of new physician customers currently in our pipeline.
Revenues from our allergy diagnostic and allergen immunotherapy business segment increased by $49,537 or 20% in Q1 2023 compared to Q4 2022. Our sales and marketing focus this past year was on implementing our Digital Medicine segments. Now that commercialization of these products has occurred, our sales and customer service teams are working to integrate our allergy and digital medicine business segments to achieve economies of scale in our marketing programs which should enable us to generate more revenue from and for each of our physicians. We see significant upside for our business, our customers’ practices, and their patients’ healthcare outcomes through the combination of all our products and service offerings. A patient visiting a doctor in primary care can benefit from multiple preventive and chronic care services. QHSLab has demonstrated that it can provide these services to our physician customers, including allergy testing and treatment, mental health evaluations and supported non-face to inventions, medical nutrition therapy, sleep and pain management and much more, all in one cohesive comprehensive package to avoid physicians having to seek multiple products and services from multiple vendors and to enable patients to obtain comprehensive treatment from one familiar physician.
We experienced a 300-basis point improvement in our gross profit margin in Q1 2023 compared to Q4 2022 and believe that gross profit margins will continue to expand by approximately a further 500 basis points during fiscal 2023 due to growth in higher gross profit margin Digital Medicine SaaS income.
QHSLab’s Scientific and Advisory Team received acceptance from the American Psychosomatic Society for its publication on the significant findings relating to the ability of its Quality of Life ‘Q-Scale’ digital assessment to identify and predict patients at risk of high-cost healthcare utilization such as increased hospitalization, urgent care and emergency room visits. The Company will announce these findings in an upcoming press release upon publication in the American Psychosomatic Society’s Journal.
