“Biote’s second quarter procedure revenue grew 7.8% from the prior-quarter period, increasing sequentially from the 6.6% rate reported in the first quarter of 2024,” said Terry Weber, Biote Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to experience broad-based demand strength primarily from top-tier practitioners across our network. Through the first half of the year, Biote has grown new clinics by approximately 30%, with an accelerated revenue ramp from clinics implementing our quick-start program that optimizes on-boarding success for practitioners. During the second quarter, we increased our investments in sales and marketing to extend Biote’s geographic presence, expanded our therapeutic wellness offerings and enhanced engagement with our top 500 practitioners at our annual provider event.”

Ms. Weber continued, “We are pleased with the positive response from both patients and practitioners to BioteRx, our recently launched suite of hormone and evidence-based wellness therapies. BioteRx builds upon our science-based approach, leveraging the latest technology and tools to enhance patient health outcomes while supporting practitioners with unmatched education and training. Over the past several months, we have introduced BioteRx to approximately 600 clinics throughout our network, addressing essential healthcare needs in preventative wellness, sexual health and weight loss. As we continue to roll out BioteRx over the remainder of this year and into 2025, we remain focused on delivering the next level of personalized medicine for our growing patient population.”

2024 Second Quarter Financial Review

(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted)

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $49.2 million compared to $49.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. Procedure revenue grew 7.8%, benefiting from growth at established clinics and the addition of new clinics. As expected, dietary supplement revenue decreased 32.2%, as we continued the transition of our e-commerce business and lapped a significant seasonal promotion in last year’s second quarter.

Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 68.9% compared to 67.9% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to product mix and continued effective cost management. Gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2024 included a $1.2 million step-up in inventory value from the acquisition of Asteria Health. Excluding this inventory revaluation, second quarter 2024 gross profit margin would have been 70.9%.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2024 was $6.2 million, compared to $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. Operating income in the second quarter of 2024 decreased primarily due to increased investment in sales and marketing initiatives as well as higher legal expenses, partially offset by improved gross profit.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $(10.5) million, representing a net loss margin of (21.3)%, and diluted loss per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $(0.19), compared to net loss of $(13.1) million, representing a net loss margin of (26.6)%, and diluted loss per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $(0.25), for the second quarter of 2023. Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 included a loss of $13.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively, due to a change in the fair value of earnout liabilities. Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 also included a loss of $11.8 million due to a change in the fair value of the warrant liability. As of June 30, 2023, all of the outstanding warrants had been exchanged for Class A common stock.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $12.7 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.9%. In the second quarter of 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $14.5 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.5%. The decreases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin primarily reflected increased investments in sales and marketing initiatives as well as higher legal expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit and gross profit margin.

Resolution of Legal Claims and Related Share Repurchases

As previously announced, on April 23, 2024, Biote reached a definitive settlement in the Company’s litigation with Dr. Gary S. Donovitz, Biote’s founder, to resolve litigation. Under the terms of this settlement, Biote agreed to repurchase all the approximately 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 repurchased for $32.2 million on April 26, 2024. The remaining shares beneficially owned by Dr. Donovitz at the time of settlement will be repurchased over the next three years. Also pursuant to the settlement, Biote cancelled all 3.9 million unvested earnout shares that were beneficially owned by Dr. Donovitz at the time of settlement.

Additionally, on June 28, 2024, Biote reached a definitive settlement with Marci M. Donovitz, stockholder of Biote, to resolve litigation. For $60 million in the aggregate, Biote will repurchase all of the approximately 8.3 million shares beneficially owned by Ms. Donovitz at the time of the settlement at an average price of $7.23 per share, with the first tranche of shares repurchased for $30.0 million on June 28, 2024. The remaining shares beneficially owned by Ms. Donovitz at the time of settlement will be repurchased over the next three years. Also pursuant to the settlement, Biote cancelled all of the approximately 4.0 million unvested earnout shares that were beneficially owned by Ms. Donovitz at the time of settlement.

2024 Financial Outlook

Ms. Weber concluded, “Based on our solid first half performance and our expectation for accelerated growth in the second half of the year, we reiterate our 2024 financial guidance for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. While we will continue to make investments consistent with our growth strategy, we anticipate our overall operating expenses will moderate in the second half of 2024 as compared to the first half of the year.

“We continue to expect improved procedure revenue growth in the second half of 2024 relative to the first half, driven by strengthened performance from our top-tier clinics, the continued expansion of our practitioner network and our quick-start program that accelerates the revenue ramp from new clinics.”

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:

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements of our assets;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

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.

Forward-Looking 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.

Financial Tables

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that provides supplemental information that we believe is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s ongoing results of operations when considered alongside net income, (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure).

We use Adjusted EBITDA as alternative measures to evaluate our operational performance. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by excluding from net income: interest expense; depreciation and amortization expenses; and income taxes. Additionally, we exclude certain expenses we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operations or operational performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA 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 provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by Biote’s management about which expenses are excluded or included. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
