Biote Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Procedure revenue growth and strengthened profitability drive solid financial performance
Phased launch of BioteRx remains on track
Reaffirms 2024 financial guidance, with an acceleration in second half growth
IRVING, TX May 7, 2024 Biote (NASDAQ: BTMD), a leading solutions provider in preventive health care through the delivery of personalized
hormone optimization and therapeutic wellness, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
2024 Financial Highlights
(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior-year period)
Procedure revenue increased 6.6% in the first quarter, reflecting
stable demand from established clinics within our nationwide network. We are focused on driving accelerated revenue growth in the second half of 2024 by continuing to expand our geographic presence and strengthening our relationships with existing
practitioners. Additionally, we are enhancing our on-boarding and training programs to facilitate adoption of the Biote Method, said Terry Weber, Biote Chief Executive Officer.
The phased launch of BioteRx, our new suite of hormone and evidence-based wellness therapies that launched in February, is progressing well, with both
patients and practitioners responding favorably to our enhanced offerings. Over the course of 2024, we plan to continue to expand BioteRx throughout our network, increasing our engagement with practitioners and promoting positive health outcomes for
our growing patient population.
Ms. Weber continued, As previously announced, on March 18th, we closed the acquisition of Asteria
Health, a manufacturer of compounded bioidentical hormones. We have begun to integrate Asteria Health into our operations, with a goal of achieving full vertical integration of our pellet manufacturing. We believe this strategic acquisition
strengthens our competitive position and provides deep expertise in 503(B) manufacturing, enabling Biote to develop innovative wellness therapies that complement our existing hormone offerings.
2024 First Quarter Financial Review
result comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted)
Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $46.8 million, an
increase of 4.4% from $44.8 million for the first quarter of 2023. The increase in revenue was driven by procedure revenue growth of 6.6%, partially offset by a decline in dietary supplement revenue of 11.3%, primarily as a result of one of the
Company s larger dietary supplement distributors exiting the nutraceutical business during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Gross profit margin for the
first quarter of 2024 was 71.4% compared to 69.1% for the first quarter of 2023. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to product mix and effective cost management.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2024 was $10.4 million, compared to $7.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. Operating income in the
first quarter of 2024 increased due primarily to improved gross profit.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $(5.8) million, representing a net
loss margin of (12.4)%, and diluted loss per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $(0.06), compared to net loss of $(21.4) million, representing a net loss margin of (47.8)%, and diluted loss per share attributable to biote Corp.
stockholders of $(0.39), for the first quarter of 2023. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 included a loss of $12.1 million and $25.4 million, respectively, due to a change in the fair value of the earnout liability.
Additionally, net loss for the first quarter of 2023 included a loss of $1.6 million due to a change in the fair value of the warrant liability.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was $14.2 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.2%. In the first quarter of 2023, Adjusted EBITDA
was $13.1 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.2%. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were primarily due to growth in revenue and improved gross profit margin.
On April 23, 2024, Biote reached a
definitive settlement in the Company s litigation with Dr. Gary S. Donovitz, Biote s founder. Under the terms of this settlement, Biote has agreed to repurchase all the 18.4 million shares beneficially owned by
Dr. Donovitz at the time of the settlement at an average price of $4.17 per share, with the first tranche of shares having been repurchased for $32.2 million on April 26, 2024. The remaining shares will be repurchased over the next
three years. Also pursuant to the settlement, the Company is cancelling all 3.9 million unvested earnout shares that were beneficially owned by Dr. Donovitz at the time of settlement.
2024 Financial Outlook
Based on our solid first quarter financial performance and our expectations for stronger revenue growth in the second half of the year, we reaffirm our
2024 financial guidance, concluded Ms. Weber.
| ($ in millions) | Previously Reported 2024 Guidance Ranges | |||
| Revenue | $ | 200-$204 | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA 1 | $ | 60-$63 |
The Company s 2024 financial guidance includes: (i) procedure revenue growth in the first half of 2024 similar to
that of the second half of 2023 with improved growth in the back half of 2024; (ii) a return to nutraceutical revenue growth in the second half of 2024; (iii) expected modest contributions from new therapeutic wellness products; and (iv) a
second-half margin contribution from the anticipated impact of the acquisition of Asteria Health.
First half 2024 consolidated year-on-year revenue growth is expected to be in the low-single digits, with significant improvement expected in the second half of
2024. Total revenue growth in the first half of 2024 is expected to be impacted by the transition in the nutraceutical distribution channel and timing of seasonal promotions.
Biote management will host a conference
call to review these results and provide a business update beginning at 5:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 7, 2024. To access the conference call by telephone, please dial (844) 481-2820 (U.S toll-free) or
(412) 317-0679 (International). To access a live webcast of the call, interested parties may use the following link: Biote First Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. A replay of the webcast will be available
on the Events page of the Biote Investor Relations website, at ir.biote.com, shortly after the event concludes.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, Biote
has disclosed Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that it calculates as net income before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation,
litigation expenses, legal settlements, transaction-related expenses, merger and acquisition expenses, fair value adjustments to certain equity instruments classified as liabilities and other expenses. Below we have provided a reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because it is a key measure used by our management to
evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and determine payments under compensation programs. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in
understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as
analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the
exercise of judgment by Biote s management about which expenses are excluded or included. A reconciliation is provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release for each
non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of certain information needed to calculate reconciling items.
For example, the Company has not included a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods presented in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception
provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company s projected Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict including, but not limited to,
share-based compensation expense, income taxes, due diligence expenses and legal expenses. Due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from projected Adjusted EBITDA in future periods,
management does not forecast them for internal use and therefore cannot create a quantitative projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) reconciliation for the periods presented without unreasonable efforts. A quantitative reconciliation of
projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented would imply a degree of precision and certainty as to these future items that does not exist and could be confusing to investors. From a qualitative perspective, it is
anticipated that the differences between projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented will consist of items similar to those described in the financial tables later in this release, including, for example and without
limitation, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, due diligence expenses and legal expenses. The timing and amount of any of these excluded items could significantly impact the Company s GAAP net income (loss) for a particular period.
When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis.
