HealthWarehouse.com Reports 4th Quarter and 2015 Annual Results
Continued Sales & Gross Margin Expansion with Significant Reduction of Net Loss

(CINCINNATI, OH, March 31, 2016) -- HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (OTCQB:HEWA), the only VIPPS accredited online pharmacy licensed in all 50 states, announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, net sales grew to $7,018,137, a 14.5% increase from the year ended December 31, 2014.  Gross margin improved to 63.7%, up from 59.3%, while net loss narrowed by 64.9%, to ($626,682) from ($1,783,279) for the year ended December 31, 2015, as the Company continued its focus on the higher margin out-of-pocket cash prescription market.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, net sales grew to $1,845,163, a 25.1% increase from the comparable period in 2014.  Gross margin improved to 62.5% up from 61.4% while net loss narrowed by 68.5% to ($183,609) from ($582,340) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Mr. LalitDhadphale, HealthWarehouse.com's President and CEO, commented, "The market for consumers who pay out-of-pocket for their prescription drugs continues to grow, with major national publications highlighting the company's ability to deliver consumers the lowest price among top U.S. pharmacies for commonly prescribed medications. HealthWarehouse.com continues to expand on its first-mover advantage in the cash prescription consumer market and gain recognition as a legitimate source for affordable prescription medications by customers and media alike."
For the year ended December 31, 2015, HEWA reported adjusted EBITDAS of ($23,080), vs. adjusted EBITDAS of ($596,594) in the year ended December 31, 2014, an improvement of 96.1%.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, HEWA reported adjusted EBITDAS of ($29,122), vs. adjusted EBITDAS of ($392,435) in the quarter ended December 31, 2014, an improvement of 92.6%.  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.
Mr. Dan Seliga, HealthWarehouse.com's newly appointed COO and CFO, added, "Focusing the business on the out-of-pocket prescription market is bearing fruit in the form of increased sales and gross margins. Operating net loss has been dramatically reduced in the past 12 months as we continue targeting high margin consumer prescription revenues to solidify HealthWarehouse.com for the future."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
 
HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (the "Company") prepares its 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.
