Medifast Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsMay 4, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire Medifast (NYSE: MED), the metabolic health and wellness company known for its science-backed, coach-guided lifestyle system, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. First Quarter 2026 Revenue of $76.0 million, with revenue per active earning coach of $5,432 Independent active earning coaches of 14,000 Net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share ("EPS") Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investment Securities of $168.9 million with no debt "We are encouraged by the continued progress we are seeing as we execute our metabolic health strategy, including a second consecutive quarter of year-over-year coach productivity growth, strong coach leadership advancement, and high field engagement. These are metrics that have historically been leading indicators of future growth. Backed by our differentiated science, coach-led model, and a disciplined approach to managing costs, we believe we are well positioned to drive improved performance through the remainder of 2026 and a return to sustainable, long-term growth in the years ahead,” said Dan Chard, CEO of Medifast. First Quarter 2026 Results First quarter 2026 revenue decreased 34.3% to $76.0 million from $115.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 primarily driven by a decrease in the number of active earning coaches. The total number of active earning coaches decreased 44.9% to 14,000 compared to 25,400 for the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by continued pressure with client acquisition reflecting broader challenges in the operating environment, including rapid adoption of GLP-1 medications for weight loss. While the company continues its transformation to focus on metabolic health, it expects the number of active earning coaches to continue to decline in 2026. The average revenue per active earning coach was $5,432, compared to $4,556 for the first quarter last year, an increase of 19.2% which was driven by greater alignment of the company's network of coaches, prioritizing productive coaches and efficient coach network structures. Gross profit decreased 38.6% to $51.8 million from $84.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes. The company's gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 68.1% compared to 72.8% for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the loss of leverage on fixed costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased 35.6% to $55.1 million compared to $85.5 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to a $16.2 million decrease in coach compensation on lower volume and fewer active earning coaches, a $5.6 million decrease in company-led marketing related expenses, a one-time $2.2 million gain on the sale of the company's Maryland Distribution Center building and land previously classified as held for sale, and a $2.0 million decrease in employee compensation resulting from the realignment of the employee base to lower revenue levels. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased 150 basis points year-over-year to 72.4% of revenue, as compared to 73.9% for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to approximately 470 basis points of decreased company-led marketing related expenses and 240 basis points of one-time gain on the sale of the company's Maryland Distribution Center building and land previously classified as held for sale, partially offset by 620 basis points of loss of leverage on fixed costs due to lower sales volume. The company's loss from operations for the period was $3.3 million compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, loss from operations was 4.3% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 1.1% in the prior year comparable period due to the factors described above impacting revenue and SG&A expenses. Other income decreased 24.3% to $1.4 million from $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to unrealized gains on the company's investment in LifeMD common stock in the prior year period. The company sold its investment in LifeMD during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Income tax expense for the period was $0.2 million, an effective rate of negative 9.3%, as compared to $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, an effective rate of 246.8%. Due to the existence of a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets recorded as of December 31, 2025, the Company calculated income tax expense for the current period based on actual results for the quarter. As a result, the Company’s income tax provision for the quarter reflects discrete items, primarily state income taxes. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the increased loss incurred in the March 31, 2026 period and the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. In the first quarter of 2026, the company's net loss was $2.1 million, or $0.19 per share, based on approximately 11.0 million shares of common stock outstanding compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, based on approximately 10.9 million shares of common stock outstanding in the prior year period. Capital Allocation and Balance Sheet The company’s balance sheet remains strong with cash, cash equivalents and investment securities of $168.9 million and no debt as of March 31, 2026, compared to $167.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities and no debt at December 31, 2025. Working capital as defined as current assets less current liabilities as of March 31, 2026 was $160.4 million, compared to $158.7 million of working capital at December 31, 2025. Outlook The company expects second quarter 2026 revenue to be in the range of $60 million to $80 million and second quarter 2026 loss per share to be in the range of $0.50 to $1.00. The company expects full year 2026 revenue to be in the range of $270 million to $300 million and full year 2026 loss per share to range from $1.55 to $2.75.

These nominations are pursuant to a Cooperation Agreement entered into between the company and Steamboat Capital, which beneficially owns above 5% of the company’s outstanding shares.
The Board of Directors has determined that Medifast’s directors Jeffrey Brown and Michael Hoer will not stand for reelection. Medifast Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Dan Chard will continue in his current role, and as previously announced, will step down as CEO on June 1, 2026, while remaining Chairman.

"We are pleased to have reached this agreement through a constructive and collaborative dialogue with the Medifast Board and management team," said Parsa Kiai Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Steamboat Capital. "We have a strong appreciation for the progress the company is making and believe the market is significantly undervaluing the company’s substantial financial and intrinsic assets as well as its long-term potential.

Medifast’s independent coach network and comprehensive metabolic health system represent a differentiated and compelling platform, and we’re looking forward to working together in a spirit of collaboration to build on this foundation, drive sustainable profitability, and unlock long-term value for stockholders."

12:12 PM Medifast Short Sellers Getting Squeezed?
We could be seeing some short-covering activity on this day after Thanksgiving for weight and disease management products firm Medifast (NYSE:MED). Shares of the company have rallied nearly nine percent so far today, taking the stock above former resistance at the 11 level. According to Briefing.com, the investors are jumping on the equity due to a positive mention in a newsletter. Meanwhile, about 9.6 percent of the stock's float is sold short, and today's rally could be putting pressure on these bearish investors to buy back their positions. However, with today's light post-holiday volume, it will be interesting to see if MED holds today's gains into next week.
10:26 AM Intel Pulls Back on Restructuring News
Early yesterday morning, semiconductor bellwether Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) announced that it is reviewing the possibility of closing down or reducing the staff at its South Korean operations as part of its restructuring efforts. While it is a light trading day due to the Black Friday sales "holiday" in the States, INTC finds itself falling about one percent on news that normally boosts a company's shares. Technically, the stock is coming off a near-term top in the 22.50 area, a region that has troubled the security since late January. Furthermore, optimism is running high on the Street, with 18 of the 28 analysts covering the shares rating them a "buy" or better. Investors might want to keep an eye on short-term support in the 21.50 region, as a break of this level could indicate more downside potential over the short to intermediate term.
10:13 AM A Few Pesos More
Shares of Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE:WMT) have dipped about one percent this morning after The New York Times reported that the retailing giant received the permission from Mexico to open a bank in the country. Currently, WMT is pinned between its 10-day and 20-day moving averages, where it has spent the past seven trading sessions hovering above support at the 47.50 level. In sentiment, there mixed feelings toward the retailer on the Street, as eight of the 16 analysts covering the shares rate them a "hold," while the stock's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 0.80 ranks above 84 percent of those taken during the past year. However, with WMT dropping some 8.6 percent since late October, this pessimism is to be expected.
9:53 AM Systemax Jumps on Earnings News
After the close on Wednesday, Systemax (NYSE:SYX) announced second-quarter earnings of $7.11 million, or 19 cents per share, compared to $1.52 million, or four cents per share, for the same period a year ago. Sales for the quarter rose eight percent to $547.2 million. The company also said it intends to release third-quarter results before the end of December. The security has gapped more than 14 percent higher this morning, jumping above former resistance at the 12.50 level. The equity is poised to finish the week back above its 10-week moving average as it bounces off the support of its ascending 20-week trendline.
9:45 AM Family Dollar Misses Extension Deadline
This morning, Family Dollar (NYSE:FDO) announced that it won't file its annual report by the Friday extended deadline, due to its continuing investigation into stock options. The board committee formed to investigate stock-option practices hasn't completed its work. At last check, the security was down more than one percent at $28.62 after being rejected yet again at the 29 level. This region is currently home to the stock's 10-week moving average, which has begun to roll over. This trendline could continue to hinder the equity's rally attempts during the near term. However, the shares have potential support at their 10-day and 20-day moving averages since the 28.30 region.

Medifast Announces Record Third-Quarter and YTD Revenues and Profits
OWINGS MILLS, Md., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Medifast, Inc. (NYSE: MED) announced today third quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2006. For the quarter-ended September 30, 2006, Medifast reported revenue of $19.6 million, a 79% increase from $11 million in the third quarter of 2005.
The Company reported net income of $1,490,000, or $0.12 per basic share ($0.11 per diluted share), versus $607,000 or $0.05 per basic share ($0.05 per diluted share) in 2005. Net income in the third quarter of 2006 was positively impacted by a tax benefit received as a result of the Company's investment in infrastructure in prior years. The third quarter of 2006 represented the Company's 28th consecutive quarter of profitability.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Medifast reported revenue of $58.8 million, an increase of 97% from $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Company reported net income of $4.6 million, or $.37 per basic share ($.34 per diluted share), versus $1.6 million or $.13 per basis share ($.13 per diluted share) in 2005.
The Company had stockholders' equity of $27.2 million and working capital of $13 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $21.3 million and $9.6 million at September 30, 2005, respectively.
'We are pleased with the third quarter results, which were driven by our growing customer base within a multi-channeled business. Our customer acquisition strategy is driving brand awareness, which benefits our direct to consumer business and also drives customers and business opportunity leads into our direct sales network while fueling significant walk-ins to our new medically supervised clinics, which are now operational in test markets. We believe that our diverse infrastructure model, which does not rely on a single distribution method, will allow Medifast to benefit long term in the over $40 billion weight loss category. In a customer driven world, Medifast is positioned to handle the needs of all types of customers. Whether a person is looking to lose weight utilizing the advice of a nutritionist, the support of a health coach, share their experience with others in an online community or stay under medical supervision in a clinic or doctor's office, Medifast provides a program to cater to the individual needs of the customer,' said Michael S. McDevitt, Medifast President and CFO.
'Medifast combines products and programs that have been clinically proven and trusted by physicians for over 25 years with a 21st century business model that recognizes that every consumer is an individual. Medifast is in the business of making people healthy in a time when we are experiencing an obesity epidemic in our country. Medifast is committed to providing a lasting solution for health and we are excited about expanding our programs to include broader recommendations for using Medifast for long term health as we move forward,' stated Bradley T. MacDonald, Chairman and CEO.
2006 Financial Guidance
The company expects to generate revenue of $70 to $72 million for the year with after-tax earnings of $0.38 to $0.40 per diluted share.
