the third quarter, we continued to see growing demand for our formulations, especially in the ophthalmology sector, which grew
sequentially despite typically slower summer months. We also saw increasing adoption for many of our other formulations as we
drove awareness and improved access. In addition to making meaningful progress in expanding our Imprimis Cares portfolio,
we were successful in growing relationships with key partners, payors and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)," said Mark L.
Baum, CEO of Imprimis. "Revenues in the quarter were impacted by constraints in our drug production infrastructure, however
I am confident recent actions taken to streamline our operations and maximize efficiencies will accelerate near-term profitability
goals while ensuring a stable platform for continued long-term growth. Our New Jersey facility, which we recently registered with
the FDA as an outsourcing facility, is expected to play an important role as we continue to grow our customer network and expand
into new therapeutic markets."
Commercialization and Corporate Developments
| Entered into agreement with the specialty pharmacy division of one of the nation's leading PBMs to supply Imprimis' complete formulary through its national network of specialty pharmacies. | ||
| Introduced compounded EDTA calcium disodium injection, a significantly lower-cost therapeutic alternative to Valeant's Calcium Disodium Versenate for the stabilization and treatment of lead poisoning. | ||
| Enhanced Imprimis Cares formulary, including plans to introduce a lower-cost compounded alternative to the EpiPen for life-threatening allergic reactions. |
| Announced published data from large study of 922 patients (1,541 eyes) receiving Dropless Therapy following cataract surgery.

The company is currently focused in the ocular surgery market but plans to expand into dental, urologic and other surgical procedure markets in the second half 2017. | ||

addition to the company's results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), which are presented and discussed above, management also utilizes adjusted EBITDA, an unaudited financial measure that
is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the company's financial results and performance and to plan and forecast
future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a "non-GAAP" financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated
by the SEC. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the company's
operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the company's results of operations
and the factors and trends affecting its business. Management believes adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information
regarding the company's performance because (i) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management
in its financial and operational decision-making; (ii) it excludes the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items
that are not directly attributable to the company's core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the company's
core operating performance; and (iii) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the company's
results. However, adjusted EBITDA and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as
a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures
used by the company and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations
of the same non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the company's competitors.
company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding the effects of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based
compensation, other income (expense) and, if any and when specified, other non-recurring income or expense items. The company
believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA is net loss. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations
and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or net loss as a measure of operating performance or to net cash
provided by (used in) operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of ability to meet cash needs.
following is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss, for the three
months ended September 30, 2016 (in thousands):
| For the three months ended September 30, 2016 | ||||
| Net Loss | $ | (3,850 | ) | |
| Stock-based compensation | 879 | |||
| Interest expense, net | 732 | |||
| Taxes | - | |||
| Depreciation | 348 | |||
| Amortization of intangible assets | 79 | |||
| Non-recurring expenses (1) | 121 | |||
| Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill | 303 | |||
| Other income net | (1,494 | ) | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | (2,882 | ) |
