CEO Sees Continuing Strong Revenue Growth and Profitability in 2019
“During the third quarter of 2019, we made excellent progress in our core proprietary B2B trading platform www.trxade.com, which enables independent pharmacies to purchase drugs at discount prices compared to their primaries, enabling us to experience top and bottom line growth,” commented, Suren Ajjarapu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Trxade Group, who continued, “Additionally, we are investing in core infrastructure for our B-to-C business in our wholesale, e-commerce and delivery capabilities as increasing pharmaceutical prices drive independent pharmacies, payors and consumers to be more aggressive in sourcing medication. Accordingly, I am optimistic that our new product lines will generate profitability.”

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $2,311,425 vs. $847,471 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of 173%, and a 21% sequential increase over the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
