Dougherty’s Pharmacy, Inc. Reports 2018 Second Quarter Earnings
DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dougherty’s Pharmacy, Inc. (OTC QB: MYDP) (“Dougherty’s” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2018.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported a consolidated net loss of $431,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to net loss of $305,000, or $0.01 per share, for the same period of 2017. The Company reported second quarter consolidated earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of negative $74,000, compared to consolidated earnings EBITDA (Adjusted) of $148,000 in the same period of 2017. (See tables below for a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA on a GAAP basis.)
Consolidated net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $697,000, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $473,000, or $0.02 per share, for the first six months of 2017; EBITDA was $22,000 compared to EBITDA (Adjusted) $359,000, respectively.
The Company’s net losses for the second quarter and YTD 2017 include loss on disposal of assets of $75,000 related to the May 2017 disposal of the assets at the Humble, Texas location.
On August 1, 2018, the Company defaulted on its revolving credit facility of $4,000,000 (“the Revolver”) with the First National Bank of Omaha (the “Lender”). On August 10, 2018, the Lender notified the Company that the Revolver had been sold to OSK VII, LLC (the “Current Lender”) effective on August 10, 2018. This assignment of the Revolver from the Lender to the Current Lender does not affect any terms and condition of the Revolver and the associated loan documents. The Company does not currently have the ability to cure the default under the Revolver. Should the Current Lender elect to foreclose against the Secured Assets, it would significantly impair the Company's ability to continue as a going concern or to even be able to continue its operations. The Company is evaluating all of its options in light of these circumstances, including, refinancing the indebtedness with another lender, negotiating a settlement arrangement with the Current Lender, or obtaining a temporary waiver or forbearance from the Current Lender.
Key measures used by the Company’s management to evaluate business performance include revenue, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) and EBITDA. EBITDA is calculated as net income before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that Company’s management considers to best present the results of ongoing operations and is useful when comparing the performance between different reporting periods. In certain instances, we have presented EBITDA (Adjusted) which also excludes certain one-time, non-recurring, non-operating losses or impairments, as the Company considers excluding these adjustments necessary to derive the results of ongoing operations. In those instances, we have identified when the Company is presenting adjusted EBITDA. Although EBITDA or EBITDA (Adjusted) is not a measure of actual cash flow because it does not consider changes in assets and liabilities that may impact cash balances, the Company believes it is a useful metric to evaluate operating performance and has therefore included such measures in the discussion of operating results below.
Pharmacy Operations
The Company’s subsidiary, Dougherty’s Holdings, Inc. (“DHI”), which owns and operates multiple Dougherty’s Pharmacies, reported EBITDA of $1,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to $378,000 in 2017. EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $201,000 compared to EBITDA (Adjusted) of $742,000 for the same period 2017.
DHI’s same stores reported a sales decline of $1,013,000 or 10.0 percent and a decline in total script count of 6.9 percent for the 2018 quarter when compared to prior year. Same store sales reported a decline in sales of $1,500,000 or 7.5 percent and a decline in total script count of 6.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to prior year. Same store sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $30,000 and $49,000 of revenues, respectively, and 803 and 1,263 scripts, respectively, filled for the Legacy store via concierge service from its pharmacy on Campbell Road, which will continue until the Legacy store completes its pharmacy enrollment process. Front end sales at the Legacy store for the second quarter 2018 and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $23,000 and $34,000, respectively.
The same store sales decline for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 is primarily attributable to the transition to other pharmacy providers of prescriptions filled for certain long-term care facilities and under certain third party payor benefit plans that changed effective January 2018. The initial focus of the Managing Director of Business Development appointed during the first quarter of 2018 is to recoup these prescriptions.
Total store sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 included net revenues and scripts of $53,000 and 649, respectively, and $177,000 and 2,313, respectively, from the Humble, Texas pharmacy, sold on May 6, 2017.
Total store gross margin percent for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 declined to 24.8% as compared to 27.0% for the same period in 2017. Total store gross margin percent for the six month period was 26.0% for 2018, compared to 27.3% for the same period in 2017. The decline in total store gross margin percent was impacted by an increase in third party payor fees that began increasing at the beginning of 2017. Total third party fees for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $154,000 and $189,000, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2017.
Same store SG&A for the Legacy and Humble locations was a net decrease of $60,000, or 2.5 percent, and $82,000, or 1.7 percent, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.
The following chart summarizes DHI’s pharmacy operations, along with DHI’s pharmacy operations overhead. Same store sales compare results for pharmacies held for over one year. Acquisition or new store and disposition store sales will be reported separately from same store sales. There were no acquisition store sales to report in 2017 or 2018.

Pharmacy Operations Overhead
The Company’s pharmacy overhead division reported SG&A of $248,000 for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $251,000 in 2017 and $502,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $509,000 in 2017. The decrease of $3,000 and $7,000, respectively, is attributable to salary and payroll related cost savings from the resignation of the President of Pharmacy Operations during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the President and Chief Financial Officer during the first quarter of 2018, offset by the transfer of the Director of Retail Operations to this division during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the addition of the Managing Director of Business Development during the first quarter of 2018.
Corporate Overhead Related to Being Public
The Company’s corporate overhead division reported negative EBITDA of ($75,000) for the second quarter of 2018 compared to ($230,000) in 2017 and ($179,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to ($383,000) in 2017. The decrease of $155,000 and $204,000 is attributable to salary and payroll related cost savings from the resignation of the President and Chief Financial Officer during the first quarter of 2018 and higher professional fees for services incurred for the Form 10 filing, corporate name change and upgrade to OTCQB Venture Stock Markets in 2017.
