NEW YORK, Nov. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary care, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Management Commentary

“During the third quarter of 2023 LifeMD achieved record revenue and adjusted EBITDA, largely driven by significant patient subscriber growth. Our GLP-1 Weight Management program alone added over 8,000 net new patients, ending the quarter with over 10,000, a number that has grown to over 16,000 today. Central to this acceleration is our industry-leading telehealth technology platform, complemented by an incredible provider network spanning all 50 states,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and CEO of LifeMD. “Our lifestyle healthcare businesses, led by RexMD, once again posted double-digit revenue growth with robust bottom-line margins that continued to exceed 30%. We also made sizeable progress in leveraging our best-in-class platform to drive meaningful B2B partnerships, including the execution of an agreement with Ascend Therapeutics to service the women’s health market and a joint marketing and sales agreement with IQVIA leveraging LifeMD’s tremendous telehealth infrastructure with IQVIA’s comprehensive commercialization solutions. We expect to execute additional opportunities in the near future. Given our sustained record performance and LifeMD’s leadership in key telehealth markets, including weight management with GLP-1s, I believe we are extremely well positioned for continued growth next year.”

“We finished the third quarter with outstanding top- and bottom-line financial results, with revenue increasing 23% and adjusted EBITDA increasing to a record $2.8 million. For the second consecutive quarter we achieved positive cash flow from operations and exited the third quarter with our strongest balance sheet and liquidity position ever. All of these factors continue to position 2023 to be a tremendous year for LifeMD while setting the stage for what we believe will be breakout performance in 2024,” commented Marc Benathen, Chief Financial Officer of LifeMD.

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 and Sarbanes-Oxley 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 and Sarbanes-Oxley 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.
