Medifast Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results


BALTIMORE - August 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023
•Revenue of $296.2 million, with revenue per active earning coach of $5,578
•Independent active earning OPTAVIA Coaches of 53,100
•Net income of $30.3 million
•Earnings per diluted share ("EPS) of $2.77
•Cash and Cash Equivalents of $147.4 million and no interest-bearing debt

“We are ahead of our Fuel for the Future plan with key initiatives aimed at driving efficiency and cost reduction, which helped to mitigate the impact of continued economic headwinds on our revenues during the quarter,” said Dan Chard, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Medifast. “In addition, we have made significant progress advancing our broader health and wellness agenda with the recent launch of our new OPTAVIA ACTIVETM line of products, which marks an inflection point for Medifast as we target new areas of growth and more than triple our total addressable market. We also have pilot programs underway to assess potential growth opportunities related to medically-supported weight loss that leverage the strength of our business model. We believe our scientifically-designed solution, OPTAVIA, is a great complement to those seeking to improve their health and wellness regardless of the method they choose to utilize.”

Chard concluded, “Industry dynamics have changed numerous times over the years and Medifast has proven adept at making the necessary adjustments in its business model to thrive in new environments. Even though the operating environment remains challenging, and we continue to expect that programming adjustments, compensation dynamics, and future growth initiatives will take time to deliver meaningful results, we are confident that the changes we are making to diversify our business into new areas will have similar success.”

Second Quarter 2023 Results
Second quarter 2023 revenue decreased 34.7% to $296.2 million from $453.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in the number of active earning OPTAVIA Coaches and the decline in the productivity per active earning OPTAVIA Coach. The average revenue per active earning OPTAVIA Coach was $5,578, compared to $6,667 for the second quarter last year, a decline of 16.3%, driven by continued pressure on customer acquisition, partially offset by the price increase implemented in November 2022. The total number of active earning OPTAVIA Coaches decreased 21.9% to 53,100 compared to 68,000 for the second quarter of 2022.

Gross profit decreased 34.5% to $210.7 million from $321.7 million for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower revenue. The Company’s gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 71.1% compared to 71.0% in the second quarter of 2022.


picture10.jpg
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased 36.9% to $172.0 million compared to $272.7 million for the second quarter of 2022. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased 208 basis points year-over-year to 58.1% of revenue, as compared to 60.2% for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to progress on several cost reduction and optimization initiatives. Additional factors that positively impacted SG&A included charitable donations in the second quarter of 2022 that did not recur in 2023 and decreased Coach compensation due to lower volumes and fewer active earning Coaches.

Income from operations decreased 21.0% to $38.7 million from $49.0 million in the prior-year period. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations was 13.1% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 10.8% in the prior-year period due to the factors described above impacting revenue and SG&A expenses.

The effective tax rate was 22.6% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 19.8% in the prior-year period. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in the tax benefit from charitable donations of inventory donations in the second quarter as mentioned above.

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 of 2022, net income was $39.1 million, or $3.42 per diluted share, based on approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Capital Allocation and Balance Sheet
The Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $1.65 per share, or $18.2 million, payable on August 8, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 27, 2023.

The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with $147.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and no interest-bearing debt as of June 30, 2023 compared to $87.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt at December 31, 2022.

The guidance includes the impact of investments being made for future growth initiatives, which are expected to continue throughout the year, impacting profitability.
