(CINCINNATI, OH, August 12, 2015) -- HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (OTCQB:HEWA), the only VIPPS accredited online and mail-order pharmacy licensed in all 50 states, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, net sales improved to $1,870,840 up 27.9% from the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Gross margin increased to 67% from 60% while net loss narrowed by 78.2% to ($79,681) for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from ($365,042) for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

The Company believes that adjusted EBITDAS (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock-Based Compensation), a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry.
“Our renewed focus to serve online consumers who pay out of pocket for their prescriptions is showing further gains financially with core online prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) revenue growth, positive operating income and significantly reduced net losses. Moreover, evidence that we are providing a valuable service is shared daily in our customer reviews,” said Mr. Lalit Dhadphale, President & CEO of HealthWarehouse.com.
A customer recently shared the following review, “These guys are awesome! I've been dealing with HealthWarehouse.com for a good many years and have never been anything but satisfied. I take quite a bit of medication and their prices for generic have been even lower than my copay with my insurance when I had been working. Now that I'm on Medicare I have a Part D plan for medication. Some generic drugs I take aren't even covered by the plan. So, I get them through HealthWarehouse.com. Reasonable prices, quick delivery, exceptional customer service. The guys are awesome!”

Actual results may differ significantly from management's expectations. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that include, among others, risks related to competition, management of growth, new products, services and technologies, potential fluctuations in operating results, international expansion, outcomes of legal proceedings and claims, fulfillment center optimization, seasonality, commercial agreements, acquisitions and strategic transactions, foreign exchange rates, system interruption, inventory, government regulation and taxation, payments and fraud.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (the "Company") prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding adjusted EBITDAS, which differs from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting operating loss to exclude interest, depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDAS also excludes stock issued for services, and certain other non-cash charges. Adjusted EBITDAS is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, adjusted EBITDAS is used internally in planning and evaluating the Company`s performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of this metric offers investors, bankers and other shareholders an additional view of the Company`s operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial results.
Adjusted EBITDAS should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company`s performance. The following provides a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDAS:
