BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Medifast (NYSE: MED), the health and wellness company known for its science-backed comprehensive metabolic health system, Trilivy, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026

• Revenue: $76.4 million, with revenue per active earning coach of $6,529
• Independent active earning coaches of 11,700
• Net loss of $3.1 million or $0.28 loss per diluted share ("EPS")
• Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investment Securities of $169.8 million with no debt

Nick Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the second quarter, we continued to see signs of a turnaround in our business. Revenue remained sequentially stable, supported by steady growth in coach productivity and positive coach leadership trends. Combined with the energy and engagement demonstrated at our recent National Coach Convention, these leading indicators have historically been precursors of future growth.

“We're building on that progress by putting new tools in our coaches' hands, with our new brand, Trilivy, our new Reset Fuelings, and our new Medifast Metabolic Health Institute. Each of these is a meaningful step in our 3.0 strategy. Backed by our Metabolic Synchronization science and coach-led model, we believe we are on track to return to profitability in the fourth quarter and have created a foundation that supports our vision for consistent, long-term growth.“

Second Quarter 2026 Results

Second quarter 2026 revenue decreased 27.6% to $76.4 million from $105.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in the number of active earning coaches. The total number of active earning coaches decreased 48.7% to 11,700 compared to 22,800 for the second 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 $6,529, compared to $4,630 for the second quarter last year, an increase of 41.0% which was driven by greater alignment of the company's network of coaches, prioritizing productive coaches and more efficient coach network structures.

Gross profit decreased 30.3% to $53.4 million from $76.6 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower sales volumes. The company's gross profit margin was 69.9% compared to 72.6% in the second 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 25.7% to $57.7 million compared to $77.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to a $12.6 million decrease in coach compensation on lower volume and fewer active earning coaches, a $2.3 million decrease in employee salary and benefit expenses, and a $2.0 million decrease in company-led marketing costs. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased 200 basis points year-over-year to 75.6% of revenue, as compared to 73.6% for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to approximately 290 basis points associated with the loss of leverage on fixed costs and 60 basis points associated with the launch of the company's new Trilivy Reset product line, partially offset by a 190 basis point reduction related to company-led marketing expenses. During Q2 the company launched its Catalyst program with the majority of the execution expected to take place in Q3. The Catalyst program is designed to drive additional cost savings through facility rationalization, AI-related efficiencies and other means.

The company's loss from operations for the period was $4.3 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior year comparable period. As a percentage of revenue, loss from operations was 5.7% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 1.0% in the prior-year comparable period due to the factors described above impacting revenue and SG&A expenses.

Other income decreased $2.6 million to $1.3 million compared to $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to gains on the company's investment in LifeMD, Inc. 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 $0.1 million, an effective rate of negative 3.6%, as compared to $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, an effective rate of 13.7%. 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. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the increased loss incurred in the June 30, 2026 period and the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets.

In the second quarter of 2026, the company's net loss was $3.1 million, or $0.28 per share, based on approximately 11.1 million shares of common stock outstanding compared to a net income of $2.5 million, or $0.22 per share, based on approximately 11.1 million shares of common stock outstanding in the prior year comparable period.

Capital Allocation and Balance Sheet

During the second quarter of 2026, the company executed an amendment to extend the lease and reduce the square footage for the company's Havre de Grace distribution facility, and remeasured its right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability by $12.5 million and $12.7 million, respectively. This action is in addition to the commencement of the company's new headquarters office space during the first quarter, where the company recorded an initial right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $6.8 million.

The company’s balance sheet remains strong with cash, cash equivalents and investment securities of $169.8 million and no debt as of June 30, 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 June 30, 2026 was $160.5 million, compared to $158.7 million of working capital at December 31, 2025.

Outlook

The company expects third quarter 2026 revenue to be in the range of $60 million to $80 million and third quarter 2026 loss per share to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.65. This excludes any one-time costs associated with the execution of the company's Catalyst initiatives. 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 $0.25 to $1.75.
