Medifast Announces Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Medifast (NYSE: MED), the health and wellness company known for its habit-based and Coach-guided lifestyle solution, OPTAVIA®, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024

  • Revenue of $168.6 million, with revenue per active earning Coach of $4,972
  • Independent active earning OPTAVIA Coaches of 33,900
  • Net loss of $8.2 million (non-GAAP adjusted net income of $10.1 million)
  • Loss per diluted share of $0.75 (non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.92)
  • Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investment Securities of $163.5 million with zero debt

“We are acting decisively to transform our business to position us for long-term growth, with a strong balance sheet free of debt, a clear focus on new customer acquisition, and a broader health and wellness offer to a significantly expanded target market,” said Dan Chard, Chairman & CEO.

”Our holistic approach, encompassing nutrition, personalized coaching, a supportive community, and access to a clinician through our collaboration with telehealth provider, LifeMD, positions us uniquely to support those who are interested in weight loss medications as well as those who are transitioning off a medical regimen, or those who choose to pursue more traditional weight loss methods. Our mission today, much like it has been over the last 40 years, is to help our customers create lifestyle changes and establish healthy habits, and we are developing new plans and products to aid individuals in achieving healthier lifestyles. We believe we are more relevant than ever in today’s environment and are well positioned to shape the future of health and wellness, impacting millions of lives.”

Second Quarter 2024 Results

Second quarter 2024 revenue decreased 43.1% to $168.6 million from $296.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 primarily driven by a decrease in the number of active earning OPTAVIA Coaches and lower Coach productivity. The total number of active earning OPTAVIA Coaches decreased 36.2% to 33,900 compared to 53,100 for the second quarter of 2023. The average revenue per active earning OPTAVIA Coach decreased 10.9% to $4,972 compared to $5,578 for the second quarter last year, primarily driven by continued pressure on customer acquisition.

Gross profit decreased 41.4% to $123.4 million from $210.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower revenue. Gross profit margin was 73.2% compared to 71.1% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to cost savings from the company’s Fuel for the Future initiatives and efficiencies in inventory management. Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit, which excludes expenses in connection with the company's restructuring of external manufacturing agreements, decreased 40.2% to $126.0 million and non-GAAP adjusted gross profit margin increased 370 basis points year-over-year to 74.8%.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased 23.7% to $131.3 million compared to $172.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to lower OPTAVIA Coach compensation on fewer active earning Coaches and lower sales volumes, partially offset by the loss of leverage on fixed costs due to lower sales volumes and supply chain optimization costs. The Company also incurred market research and investment costs related to medically supported weight loss, costs to exit hotel commitments for the company’s annual OPTAVIA convention in future years reflecting a change in strategy, and costs for the company’s company-led customer acquisition initiatives. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased 1,980 basis points year-over-year to 77.9% of revenue, as compared to 58.1% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the loss of leverage on fixed costs due to lower sales volumes and supply chain optimization costs. The Company also incurred market research and investment costs related to medically supported weight loss, costs to exit hotel commitments for the company’s annual OPTAVIA convention in future years reflecting a change in strategy, and costs for the company’s company-led customer acquisition initiatives. Non-GAAP adjusted SG&A, which excludes expenses related to the company’s supply chain optimization costs, costs to exit hotel commitments for the company’s annual OPTAVIA convention in future years, and costs for its collaboration with LifeMD, decreased 33.8% to $113.8 million and non-GAAP adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue increased 940 basis points year-over-year to 67.5%.

The company's loss from operations for the period was $7.9 million, a decrease of 120.3%, as compared to income from operations of $38.7 million in the prior-year period. As a percentage of revenue, loss from operations was 4.7% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to income from operations as a percentage of revenue of 13.1% in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations decreased 68.4% to $12.2 million. Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations as a percentage of revenue was 7.3%, a decrease of 580 basis points from the year-ago period.

The effective tax rate was 23.4% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 22.6% in the prior-year period. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by the net loss position in 2024 and the corresponding rate impact from research and development tax credits, partially offset by the rate impact from the limitation for executive compensation. The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 26.2% as compared to 22.6% in the prior-year period.

In the second quarter of 2024, the company's net loss was $8.2 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, based on approximately 10.9 million shares of common stock outstanding. In the second quarter of 2023, net income was $30.3 million, or $2.77 per diluted share, based on approximately 10.9 million shares of common stock outstanding. In the second quarter 2024, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $10.1 million, or $0.92 per diluted share.

Capital Allocation and Balance Sheet

The company’s balance sheet remains strong with $163.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities and no interest-bearing debt as of June 30, 2024 compared to $150.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities and no debt at December 31, 2023.

Outlook

The company expects third quarter 2024 revenue to be in the range of $125 million to $145 million and third quarter 2024 diluted loss per share in the range of $0.05 to $0.70. The EPS range excludes the costs related to the initiation of the LifeMD collaboration and any gains or losses from changes in the market price of the company’s LifeMD common stock investment, which the company is unable to estimate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding Medifast’s results, we disclose various non-GAAP financial measures in the company’s quarterly earnings press release and other public disclosures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented on an as adjusted basis: gross profit, SG&A expenses, income (loss) from operations, other income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, net income (loss), effective tax rate, and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures excludes the impact of certain amounts as further identified below that the company believes are not indicative of its core ongoing operational performance. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is included below. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the company's operations because we believe they provide useful supplemental information regarding the company's on-going economic performance. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.

The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release:
