SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 18, 2017) - MyDx, Inc. (
Revenues soared to ~$808k, up 110+% year over year, on robust product & licensing sales

- In addition, direct sales made up a larger percentage of overall sales
Adjusted EBITDA increased by ~12% year over year due to scaling back operating expenses related to R&D and consolidating contract workers
