- Paid a special cash dividend of $0.30 per share on June 3, 2021. Subsequent to year end 2021, paid an additional special cash dividend of $0.30 per share on March 10, 2022.
Ted Karkus, ProPhase Lab’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am so proud of our entire team for the phenomenal success that we achieved in our first full year in the CLIA lab diagnostics testing business. Our testing levels increased significantly during Q4, due to our extensive expansion and diversification of our customer base, including independent pharmacies, schools, concierge services in multiple states, municipal contract wins, etc. At the same time, we now employ significantly more temporary employees which provide flexibility to increase and decrease the work force more efficiently as demand for testing fluctuates. Our strong Q4 financial results reflect this growth in customers combined with more efficient operations.
We expect Q1 2022 to produce even stronger results than Q4 2021. In addition to a high level of testing during the current quarter, and a more efficient work force, we have achieved additional efficiencies in laboratory processing which should increase gross margins even further. Furthermore, Q4 2021 included an impairment charge of $3.7 million that will not occur in Q1 2022. We therefore project record financial results for Q1 2022, which should include increases in working capital and cash levels for the quarter ending March 31, 2022, even after adjusting for the special dividend paid on March 10, 2022.
We expect waves of COVID-19 to continue, and are currently planning for an increase in the incidence of COVID-19 due to the BA2 variant which is currently accelerating in the UK. We are very well positioned for future waves. At the same time, within the next few months, we are planning to expand our clinical laboratory in Garden City, NY to provide additional diagnostic testing beyond COVID-19 related tests to leverage our existing and growing customer base.
We are proceeding as planned with our integration of Nebula Genomics into our ProPhase Precision Medicine division. We are confident that combining Nebula Genomics’ comprehensive genomic testing with our CLIA-certified lab capabilities will lead to faster turnaround times and lower price points, driving additional demand. We also plan to offer low-pass genomic testing at significantly lower price points. This will allow us to leverage our distribution network of more than 40,000 food, drug, and mass retail stores to further expand direct-to-consumer and big-box retail distribution of Nebula’s genomic sequencing products and services. Additional goals include the development of partnerships for Nebula’s proprietary library, research collaborations with universities, leveraging the Nebula data base, etc. Each of these initiatives could significantly grow sales as we look forward to 2022 and beyond.
We also anticipate year over year growth in 2022 in both our traditional dietary supplements and contract manufacturing businesses.
We will also continue to evaluate and pursue additional strategic and synergistic acquisitions to build our precision medicine and genomics research capabilities with the help of world-renowned genomics expert, George Church, co-founder of Nebula Genomics and advisor to ProPhase Labs,” concluded Mr. Karkus.
Financial Results
Year Ended December 31, 2021
Net revenue for Fiscal 2021 increased $64.5 million to $79.0 million, or 445% as compared to $14.5 million for Fiscal 2020. The increase in net revenue was the result of a $67.2 million increase in net revenue from diagnostic services, offset by a $2.7 million decrease in net revenue from consumer products. Fiscal 2021 had a full year of operations of diagnostic services, as compared to one month of operations in Fiscal 2020. The decrease in net revenue from consumer products for Fiscal 2021 as compared to Fiscal 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of customer orders as a result of the demand and inventory levels of third-party contract manufacturing customers, which was partially offset by $2.2 million of net revenue from the operations of Nebula.
Cost of revenues for Fiscal 2021 were $37.1 million, comprised of $29.4 million for diagnostic services and $7.6 million for consumer products. Cost of revenues for Fiscal 2020 were $9.9 million comprised of $0.6 million for diagnostic services and $9.3 million of consumer products. We realized a gross profit $42.0 million for Fiscal 2021 as compared to $4.6 million for Fiscal 2020. The increase of $37.4 million was comprised of an increase of $38.5 million in diagnostic services, offset by a $1.1 million decrease in consumer products. For Fiscal 2021, our gross margin was 53.1% as compared to 31.7% for Fiscal 2020. The increase in gross margin for Fiscal 2021 as compared to Fiscal 2020 is principally due to margins generally associated with our new diagnostic services business. Gross margins 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 Fiscal 2021 were $9.2 million as compared to $0.4 million of diagnostic expenses for Fiscal 2020. The increase in diagnostic expenses of $8.8 million was comprised of network providers expenses associated with our new diagnostic services business.
General and administration expenses increased $15.0 million for Fiscal 2021 to $22.5 million as compared to $7.5 million for Fiscal 2020. The increase in general and administration expenses for Fiscal 2021 as compared to Fiscal 2020 was principally growth in personnel expenses and professional fees associated with our new diagnostic services business.
Research and development costs for Fiscal 2021 and 2020 were $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The decrease in research and development costs was principally due to lower professional expenses.
As a result of the effects of the above, the net income from continuing operations before income taxes for Fiscal 2021 was $6.3 million as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2.3 million.
Our aggregate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2021 were $8.7 million as compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2020. Our working capital was $45.8 million and $9.6 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase of $1.9 million in our cash and cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2021 was principally due to our receipt of aggregate net proceeds of $40.6 million from the issuance of common stock and warrants in a registered direct offering and subsequent public offering, proceeds from the sale of marketable debt securities of $15.9 million, and repayment of promissory note receivable of $0.3 million, offset by (i) purchases of marketable securities of $21.5 million, (ii) cash dividend payments of $4.5 million, (iii) issuance of a secured promissory note receivable of $1.0 million, (iv) payment of $9.1 million related to business acquisition, (v) repurchase of common shares for $0.9 million, (vi) capital expenditures of $4.2 million, and (vii) cash used in operations of $13.6 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Reconciliation
(in thousands)
(unaudited)
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 measure 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).
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 have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results.
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 three months | For the years ended | |||||||||||||||

(1) We believe that net income (loss) is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measure the Company’s operating performance without regard to certain expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in the industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
(2) Transaction cost related to the Nebula acquisition.
(3) The non-cash portion of rent, which reflects the extent to which our GAAP rent expense recognized exceeds (or is less than) our cash rent payments. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, while for more mature leases, rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.
