LFMD LifeMD Inc

LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary care services, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.   

Management Commentary

“The second quarter of 2023 was a breakout quarter for LifeMD. Record quarterly revenue was driven by increasing demand for our telehealth offering and we achieved positive free cash flow for the first time in our company’s history and ahead of guidance,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LifeMD. “In addition, we launched our Weight Management telehealth service program, which is off to a tremendous start. We believe this comprehensive approach to weight management, including GLP-1 medications for medically qualified individuals, could be a catalyst for significant growth and enhanced profitability. It also is the primary reason for raising 2023 revenue guidance. In addition, I am extremely proud of the performance of our Lifestyle telehealth businesses anchored by our men’s health brand, RexMD. These businesses continued to exceed our expectations with a 16% increase in average daily new patient sign-ups in the quarter.”

“Our strong second quarter financial performance coupled with tremendous momentum in our telehealth businesses position LifeMD to gain share within these large markets. As such, we are raising our 2023 revenue guidance and slightly lowering adjusted EBITDA guidance given the near-term investment necessary to accelerate our growth in the Weight Management business, which we believe will be materially accretive beginning in 2024,” commented Marc Benathen, Chief Financial Officer of LifeMD. “WorkSimpli continues to perform well with active subscribers growing 35% over the prior-year period, and remains on track to generate over $15 million of cash flow this year that we are reinvesting in our core telehealth offerings.”

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

• Revenue increased 18% year-over-year to $35.9 million.
• Telehealth revenue increased 11% versus the first quarter of 2023.
• Telehealth active subscribers increased 15% over the year-ago period to approximately 193,000.
• Virtual Primary Care revenue increased 122% versus the first quarter of 2023.
• WorkSimpli active subscribers increased 35% over the year-ago period to approximately 171,000.
• Gross margin was 87%, up from 85% in the prior-year period.
• GAAP net loss was $7.5 million or $0.23 per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $13.8 million or $0.45 per share in the prior-year period.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.9 million in the year-ago period (see definition below of this non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation to GAAP).
• Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.05, up 123% versus the same period a year ago (see definition below of this non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation to GAAP).
• Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less cash flow from investing activities, was $2.3 million, reaching the milestone of positive free cash flow ahead of guidance. Net cash flow including debt service was also positive.

About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS as non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) attributable to common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, financing transaction expense, non-controlling interests, foreign currency translation, inventory valuation, sales return reserves, litigation costs, loss on debt extinguishment, dividends, insurance acceptance readiness, acquisition costs, severance expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Adjusted EPS is defined as the diluted net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, financing transaction expense, non-controlling interests, foreign currency translation, inventory valuation, sales return reserves, litigation costs, loss on debt extinguishment, dividends, insurance acceptance readiness, acquisition costs, severance expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of adjusted EPS to Diluted loss per share attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We believe the above financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the terms adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS may vary from that of others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss per share, operating loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance.
