HealthWarehouse.com Reports Full Year 2025 Results
MWN-AI** Summary
HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. reported substantial growth in its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, posting net sales of $49.0 million, a 46% increase compared to the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by a remarkable 87% increase in prescription revenues from partner services, although direct-to-consumer sales experienced a decline. The company also achieved a net income of $265,000 for the year, along with a positive cash flow of $1.6 million as demonstrated by its Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting a successful year despite challenges in certain areas.
Despite a decline in sales of compounded GLP-1 medications towards the year's end, HealthWarehouse's President and CEO, Joseph Peters, emphasized the importance of infrastructure investments which allowed the company to operate profitably and efficiently. Despite a downturn in direct sales, the overall increased demand for prescriptions helped counterbalance revenue losses.
The fourth quarter presented challenges, with total net sales dropping to $9.9 million, a decrease of 28.1% from the previous quarter, impacted significantly by lower prescription sales. However, the over-the-counter category did see growth, increasing by 40.2% compared to the same period last year.
Cost increases were mirrored in operating expenses, although these were outpaced by revenue growth, resulting in a decrease in SG&A expenses relative to sales. Going into 2026, HealthWarehouse faces potential hurdles from the cessation of high-dollar compounded medication sales but remains confident in generating positive cash flow and exploring new partnerships and products to maintain growth.
The company plans to host its Annual Meeting of Shareholders virtually on May 12, 2026, as it continues to focus on enhancing its healthcare e-commerce platform, aiming to improve accessibility and reduce costs for consumers.
MWN-AI** Analysis
HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (OTCQB: HEWA) reported a robust 46% increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, achieving net sales of $49.0 million. This growth primarily stemmed from an impressive 87% surge in partner services prescription revenues. While the direct-to-consumer (B2C) segment saw a 24.3% decline, the overall trajectory indicates a positive shift towards business-to-business (B2B) operations.
Despite fluctuations in prescription sales, the company managed to post a net income of $265,000 and an Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million, indicating operational efficiency and strong cash flow generation. The decline in sales related to compounded GLP-1 medications represents a headwind going into 2026, necessitating strategic pivots to maintain and grow revenue streams.
Investors should closely monitor HealthWarehouse's response to the loss of high-margin compounded medication sales, along with efforts to diversify its offerings and partner base. The company's commitment to investing in proprietary technology, aimed at enhancing patient experience and operational scalability, will be critical for future growth. Additionally, control over operating expenses helped reduce the SG&A percentage relative to sales—a promising sign of effective cost management amidst rising sales.
The forecast for 2026 remains cautiously optimistic, expecting continued positive cash flow despite anticipated challenges. As the healthcare e-commerce landscape evolves, pressures from competition will need to be managed. Given the company's unique standing as an Approved Digital Pharmacy, there are opportunities for market expansion through new product launches and partnerships.
In summary, while HealthWarehouse demonstrates a strong growth story with a solid foundation, investors should remain vigilant about market dynamics and the company’s strategic responses moving forward. A watchful eye on quarterly results will provide valuable insights into its ongoing performance amid these challenges.

2025 Annual Overview
Net Sales: Net sales increased from $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $49.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $15.4 million, or 45.8%. Prescription sales were $46.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $15.3 million, or 49.3%, compared with $30.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These increases were primarily due to growth in our partner services (B2B) business related to fulfillment of brand and compounded GLP-1 medications. Sales for the direct-to-consumer (B2C) prescription business were down 24.3% in 2025 due to a reduction in sales of higher-cost branded medications and increased competition. Over-the-counter net sales increased by 15.9% from $2.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, to $2.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in B2C over-the-counter sales was primarily due to higher marketplace sales.
Our authority to dispense high-dollar compounded GLP-1 medications has ended this year. That will have a significant impact on our sales in 2026, and beyond until that volume can be replaced with new partners and expansion of the catalogs of our existing partners. The Company currently expects positive cash from operations during 2026.
Gross Profit: Cost of sales was $31.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. That increase of $12.4 million, or 63.4%, was primarily the result of growth in sales of high-cost GLP-1 medications in our B2B prescription businesses. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $17.1 million, a $3.0 million or 21.4% increase compared with the same period in 2024, due to the increase in sales volume, offset in part by lower gross margins. Gross margin percentage decreased year-over-year from 42.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024, to 35.0% for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the B2B prescription business, branded and compounded drugs have lower gross margins, due to higher costs and price competition.
Operating Expenses: Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $2.5 million, or 17.7%. Despite the increase, SG&A expenses were significantly lower relative to sales, decreasing 8.2 percentage points to 34.1% of sales for the year ended 2025. The growth in sales of high cost GLP-1 medications in our B2B prescription businesses did not result in a comparable increase in operating expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2025, increased expenses were primarily related to the growth in order volume in the B2B segment, which included increases in shipping expense, salaries and related expenses, shipping supplies expense; legal expense, advertising and marketing expense, rent expense, software and engineering expenses, corporate taxes, maintenance and repairs expenses and accounting services expense. Those increases were partially offset by decreases in credit card fees, health and other benefits expense, and stock-based compensation.
Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA: Net income of $265,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, improved by $598,000 from the net loss of $333,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of increased sales and gross profit and continued controls on expenses. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization including amortization of a right-of-use lease asset (“EBITDA”), as adjusted for stock-based compensation and certain non-recurring charges (“Adjusted EBITDA”), were $1.6 million for 2025, up from $1.1 million for 2024. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions of these non-GAAP terms and a reconciliation to GAAP measures are provided below.
2025 Fourth Quarter Overview
Net Sales: Total net sales were $9.9 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 28.1%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. Prescription sales were $9.0 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 31.0%. That was due to lower sales in the B2B and B2C prescription business, primarily related to lower sales of compounded GLP1 medications. Over-the-counter sales increased by 40.2% to $776,000 due to an increase in marketplace sales.
Gross Profit: Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $3.8 million, a $575,000 or 13.0% decrease compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. Lower revenues in the B2B and B2C prescription businesses were partly offset by higher gross margins. Gross margin was 39.0% in the fourth quarter of 2025 versus 32.2% in the same period in 2024, due primarily to improved margins in the prescription business.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $250,000 or 6.0% compared with the same quarter in 2024. The decrease in 2025 was related to decreases in shipping and shipping-supplies expenses, salaries and related expenses, and credit card fees. The decreases were offset by increases in marketing and advertising expenses.
Net Income and (non-GAAP) Adjusted EBITDA: The Company reported a net loss of $69,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with net income of $189,000 during the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $189,000, compared with $523,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (the "Company") prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income or net loss to exclude interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of right of use lease asset, (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation, and certain nonrecurring charges. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, Adjusted EBITDA is used internally in planning and evaluating the Company`s performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of this metric offers lenders and other shareholders an additional view of the Company`s operations that, when coupled with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net loss, or to net cash provided by or 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.
