MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Medifast, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Medifast,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and notes that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included and management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the 2023 audited consolidated financial statements at that date included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Presentation of Financial Statements - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings that arise out of the ordinary course of its business. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.
Advertising Expense - Advertising expense includes the cost of promotional materials and activities, primarily digital marketing. The cost of the Company’s advertising efforts is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $6.7 and $16.4 million in advertising expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and approximately $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. These expenses are recorded as a component of Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted in 2024
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03—Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2023-03”) to (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted the

The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, including jurisdictional information, by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Prospective application is required, though retrospective application is permitted.

Early adoption is permitted. The Company did not early adopt the standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements.
2. INVENTORIES, NET
Inventories consist principally of raw materials, packaging, non-food finished goods and packaged meal replacements, protein powder, and supplements held in the Company’s warehouses and outsourced distribution centers. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The cost of finished goods includes the cost of raw materials, packaging supplies, direct and indirect labor and other indirect manufacturing costs. On a quarterly basis, management reviews inventories for unsalable or obsolete inventories.
Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) computations are calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):

The calculation of diluted EPS excluded 395 thousand and 13 thousand antidilutive restricted stock awards for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 331 thousand and 15 thousand antidilutive restricted stock awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. EPS is computed independently for each of the periods presented above, and accordingly, the sum of the quarterly earnings per share may not equal the year-to-date total computed.
4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
The Company has issued non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and non-employee directors. The fair values of these options were estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which required estimates of the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, and dividend yield. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2024 generally vested over a period of 3 years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of these options is $66.68. Due to the Company’s lack of option exercise history on the date of grant, the expected term was calculated using the simplified method defined as the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term of each option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant that most closely corresponded to the expected term of the option. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period of time equivalent to the expected term for each award. The dividend yield was computed as the annualized dividend rate at the grant date divided by the strike price of the stock option. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not grant stock options.
The following table is a summary of our stock option activity (in thousands, except per share data):

As of September 30, 2024, the weighted-average remaining contractual life for both the outstanding stock options and exercisable stock options was 3.4 years with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0. There was no unrecognized compensation on the awards for the period ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company received $36 thousand and $105 thousand in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options, respectively. The total intrinsic value for stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $15 thousand and $328 thousand, respectively.
Restricted Stock
The Company has issued restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors generally with vesting terms up to 3 years after the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Expense for restricted stock is amortized ratably over the vesting period.
The following table summarizes our restricted stock activity (in thousands, except per share data):

Forfeited(7)50.98 (5)142.11 
Outstanding at end of the period282 $57.24 116 $127.57 
The Company withheld approximately 11 thousand shares and 10 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Market and Performance-based Share Awards
The Company has issued market and performance-based share awards in 2022 and 2023 and performance-based share awards in 2020, 2021, and 2024 to certain key executives who were granted deferred shares and may earn between 0% and 250% of the target number depending upon both the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”), for those with market conditions, and the Company’s performance against predetermined performance goals over a three-year performance period after the date of grant. Market and performance-based share awards that are tied to the Company’s TSR are valued using the Monte Carlo method and are recognized ratably as expense over the award’s performance period. The fair value of the performance-based share awards is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant adjusted by expected level of achievement over the performance period. Expense for performance-based share awards is amortized ratably over the performance period. In the event that management determines that the Company will not reach the previously estimated achievement of the predetermined performance goals established in the grant agreement, any previously recognized expense is reversed in the period in which such a determination is made. Management determined that the market and performance-based share awards granted in March of 2022 and performance-based share awards granted in October of 2021 would not reach the previously estimated achievement of the predetermined performance goals resulting in a reversal of previously recorded share-based compensation expense of $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Management also determined that the market and performance-based share awards granted in March of 2023 would not reach the previously estimated achievement of the predetermined performance goals resulting in a reversal of previously recorded share-based compensation expense of $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company withheld 8 thousand shares and 22 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of performance-based share awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total fair value of performance-based share awards issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

7. INVESTMENTS
Certain financial assets and liabilities are accounted for at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on-going basis.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.
The following tables present the Company’s cash and financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for each of the hierarchy levels (in thousands):

8. DEBT
Credit Agreement
On April 13, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent. On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the borrowing capacity and convert the interest rate to be based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $225.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides for an uncommitted incremental facility that permits the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the senior secured revolving credit facility by up to $100.0 million. The Amended Credit Agreement matures on April 13, 2026.
The Company’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors. The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company will pay to the administrative agent for the account of each revolving lender a commitment fee on a quarterly basis based on amounts committed but unused under the revolving facility from 0.20% to 0.40% per annum depending on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Company is also obligated to pay the administrative agent customary fees for credit facilities of this size and type.
Revolving borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Term SOFR Rate for the interest period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Rate based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio. As of September 30, 2024, the Applicable Rate for Term SOFR Loans is 1.25% per annum and the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans is 0.25% per annum. SOFR based loans also include a Credit Spread Adjustment based on the duration of the borrowing.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on their assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments and change the nature of their businesses. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, subject to thresholds and grace periods, including, among others, payment default, covenant default, cross default to other material indebtedness and judgment default. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.00 and an Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.50 to 1.00.
The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, inclusive of the credit facility and letter of credit sublimit, as of September 30, 2024 and was in compliance with all covenants.
See Note 10, “Subsequent Events” for disclosure related to the cancellation of the Credit Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement occurring subsequent to September 30, 2024.

Overview
Medifast is the health and wellness company known for its habit-based and coach-guided lifestyle solution OPTAVIA®. As a physician-founded company with more than 40 years of history, OPTAVIA's lifestyle plans deliver clinically proven health benefits, utilizing scientifically developed products and a framework for habit creation reinforced by independent coaches and community support. The development and widespread consumer adoption of GLP-1 medications has fundamentally shifted the way many individuals think about weight management and health. In response to these developments the Company initiated its business transformation to build a set of differentiated capabilities, reflecting its commitment to providing comprehensive health and wellness solutions to customers as both their needs and the industry evolve, that are expected to position Medifast to be a force in the dynamic and changing health and wellness space. As part of this transformation, the Company entered into a collaboration with LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD) (“LifeMD”) in December of 2023, and launched a significant Company-led marketing effort in May of 2024. Medifast has created a well-capitalized business that has a powerful business model, building a network of approximately 30,000 independent active earning coaches providing consistent and effective support to customers on their weight loss journeys.

In a rapidly changing health and wellness landscape, Medifast is committed to innovating and building upon its scientific and clinical heritage to deliver on its mission of offering the world Lifelong Transformation, Making a Healthy Lifestyle Second Nature™. With the growing interest in medically supported weight loss and GLP-1 medications powering the emergence of an important new market for products and services to support individuals on their health and wellness journey, Medifast is transforming its business to capitalize on this opportunity. We are developing distinct OPTAVIA coach supported program offerings tailored to meet the unique needs of three specific customer segments:

•Individuals using GLP-1 medications as a core element of their weight-loss program;
•Individuals who are looking to maintain weight loss and improved health as they transition off GLP-1 medications; and
•Individuals who have never used weight-loss medications and want to solely use healthy habits.

Through the Company’s previously announced collaboration with LifeMD, OPTAVIA customers now have access to all-in-one holistic solutions, whether they are not utilizing medically supported weight loss, are currently using medical weight loss options, transitioning off medications, or looking for further support after stopping taking medications. This collaboration brings together OPTAVIA’s personalized habit-based, coach-guided approach with medical expertise from board-certified affiliated LifeMD clinicians, allowing access to weight loss medications, including GLP-1 medications, when clinically appropriate. With this collaboration, the Company and LifeMD have developed an integrated offering with the goal of creating a comprehensive and seamless solution for customers who desire to use medications and OPTAVIA’s lifestyle program, outlined in further detail below. In addition to lifestyle support and a simple roadmap for habit creation, the integrated offering includes scientifically developed nutritional support solutions including a GLP-1 Nutrition Support product kit designed to help mitigate certain GLP-1 medication side effects, such as muscle loss. Through LifeMD, customers also have access to a medical provider and blood work, as well as prescription and insurance support.

As the medications for weight loss continue to evolve and grow, Medifast is dedicated to maintaining a relentless focus on the development of additional support products and supplements designed to meet customer needs and to make living a healthy lifestyle second nature.

OPTAVIA’s holistic lifestyle solution is built around four key components:

•Independent OPTAVIA Coaches: Independent OPTAVIA coaches provide individualized support and guidance to customers on the path to optimal health and wellbeing. The coaches have impacted more than 3 million lives to date.
•OPTAVIA Community: A Community of like-minded people provide real-time connection and support.
•The Habits of Health® Transformational System: A proprietary system that offers easy steps to a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
•Products & Plans: Lifestyle plans with clinically proven health benefits and scientifically developed products, backed by dietitians, scientists, and physicians.

OPTAVIA's collaboration with LifeMD offers access to an additional resource for eligible customers:

18
•Clinicians as Partners: Through the collaboration with LifeMD, OPTAVIA customers have access to LifeMD’s board-certified affiliated clinicians and medication, such as GLP-1 medications when clinically appropriate, that support treatment plans for obesity and other health conditions.

Across these offerings, customers are aided in achieving their health goals through a network of OPTAVIA coaches, about 90% of whom were customers first. OPTAVIA coaches introduce customers to a set of healthy habits, in most cases starting with the habit of healthy eating, and offer exclusive OPTAVIA-branded products, including Fuelings as well as OPTAVIA ACTIVE®, a line of essential amino acid supplements and protein powders. Fuelings are nutrient-dense, portion-controlled, nutritionally interchangeable, and simple to use. They are formulated with high-quality ingredients and contain BC30™ probiotic cultures, which help support digestive health as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, vitamins and minerals, as well as other nutrients essential for good health. Our products are used as tools and support the process of integrating healthy habits into our customers' daily lives.
The OPTAVIA coaching model is customer-centric and boasts an energized health and wellness community. It promotes holistic health and wellness and positions healthy weight as a catalyst to greater lifestyle changes. OPTAVIA coaches provide personalized support to customers and motivate them by sharing their passion for healthy living and lifestyle transformation.
The entrepreneurial spirit of our OPTAVIA coaches is another key to our success, as they activate new customers, many of whom go on to become OPTAVIA coaches. We offer economic incentives designed to support each OPTAVIA coach’s long-term success, which we believe plays an important role in their financial wellness, providing the opportunity to improve their finances while changing the health trajectory of families, communities, and generations.1
OPTAVIA coaches are independent contractors, not employees, who support customers and market our products and services primarily through word of mouth, email, and social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), and video conferencing platforms. As entrepreneurs, OPTAVIA coaches market our products to friends, family, and other acquaintances. OPTAVIA products are shipped directly to customers who are working with an OPTAVIA coach. OPTAVIA coaches do not handle inventory or deliver merchandise to customers. This arrangement frees our OPTAVIA coaches from having to manage inventory and allows them to maintain an arms-length transactional relationship while focusing their attention on support and encouragement.
With the expansion of our business to include GLP-1 support tools, we are leveraging multiple channels to enhance customer acquisition and spur meaningful growth. Although the number of OPTAVIA coaches has recently declined, they remain a fundamental component of our business, and their outreach around our integrated wellness offering is one channel to drive customer acquisition. Additionally, we are collaborating with LifeMD to activate their patient base as another channel for us to acquire customers. Further, in May 2024, we launched a national marketing campaign designed to drive customer acquisition and elevate brand awareness. Additional information surrounding the marketing campaign can be found in the section below titled, “Recent Initiatives.” These new acquisition channels and investments are intended to evolve the Company’s previous single-channel coach-focused business model to be one that pairs company advertising with relationship-based coaching and the ability to access weight loss medications through our collaboration with LifeMD. Collectively, we believe these initiatives will significantly broaden OPTAVIA’s reach, advancing its mission to empower individuals on their own health journeys, and fuel positive outcomes and revenue streams.
Our operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., OPTAVIA, LLC, Jason Enterprises, Inc., Jason Properties, LLC, Seven Crondall Associates, LLC, Corporate Events, Inc., OPTAVIA (Hong Kong) Limited, OPTAVIA (Singapore) PTE. LTD, and OPTAVIA Health Consultation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
Macroeconomic Conditions and Competition
Geo-political concerns and certain economic challenges including the impact of inflationary pressures have caused macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility in markets where we, our suppliers and our OPTAVIA coaches operate.
We are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity or other raw material prices. Inflation could impact our cost structure and put pressure on consumer spending. Increases in commodity prices or food costs, including as a result of inflationary pressures, could affect the global and U.S. economies and could also adversely impact our business, financial

19
condition, or results of operations. Our variable cost structure can be utilized to adapt to changing market conditions with potential actions including adjustments to our manufacturing, distribution, and customer support infrastructure.

In response to worsening macroeconomic conditions, the Company may take further actions that alter its business operations that Management determines to be in the best interests of the Company’s employees, OPTAVIA coaches, and customers, such as evaluating our operational footprint or taking incremental pricing actions to offset supply chain costs and inflationary pressures.

The weight loss industry is very competitive and encompasses a diverse array of weight loss products and programs. These include a wide variety of commercial weight loss programs, medical weight-loss solutions, other pharmaceutical products, surgical interventions, books, self-help diets, dietary meal replacements, and appetite suppressants as well as digital tools, app-based health and wellness monitoring solutions, and wearable trackers. Potential customers seeking to manage their weight have many options and can turn to online diet-oriented sites, self-directed dieting, traditional center-based competitors, and self-administered products such as prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and supplements as well as medically supervised programs.

Beginning in Q3 2022, we began to see a downward trend in the number of active earning OPTAVIA coaches, driven by a decline in customers and attributable to changing social media algorithms and inflationary pressures on consumer spending. Additionally, the trend’s downward decline became sharper beginning in Q2 2023 due to the increased prevalence and adoption of GLP-1 medications and increased pressures on customer acquisition. We believe that, with continued pressures on customer acquisition, this downward trend in the number of active earning coaches will continue in the short-term.

Medical weight loss solutions, such as GLP-1 medications, have become an increasingly key component of the overall health and wellness ecosystem, and the recent surging awareness and popularity of these weight loss medications serves as another major competing factor, as these products have prompted a huge change in the way that consumers think about weight loss and lifestyle modification solutions in general. We recognize that these weight loss medications have attracted significant attention from the market and pose a threat to our interactions with our customer base. Importantly, the efficacy claims of GLP-1 medications for weight loss are based specifically on their incorporation with lifestyle changes, such as through a structured program like OPTAVIA, that include a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity. As a result, under Medifast’s offering, access to weight loss medications becomes one important element in an overall tailored lifestyle plan that also includes coaching, community support, nutritionally balanced meals, and exercise.

Our research shows that most of those who are interested in weight loss medications are also looking for support beyond a prescription, including clarity on how to incorporate healthy eating and exercise into their lifestyles while using these medical solutions. While medically supported weight loss can be effective, long-term success is dependent on nutrition and lifestyle changes.

We believe our scientific and clinical heritage combined with our commitment to evaluating programs, plans and products through clinical research are primary differentiators that allow us to compete in these markets. Our scientifically designed products were originally developed by a physician, and we have continued the development of nutrition and weight-management products since our founding.

These macroeconomic uncertainties and increasing adoption of medical weight loss solutions make it challenging for our management to estimate our future business performance. However, we intend to continue to actively monitor the impact of these developments on our business and will update our practices accordingly. Medifast has perfected our model over the last 40 plus years, with habits, coaches, and community at the core, and we will continue to innovate as the industry evolves.
Recent Initiatives

In response to the current competitive landscape, in which acquiring customers has become more difficult due to competitive pressures from GLP-1 medications being sought after by our potential customers, the Company is focusing on a number of initiatives to aid in increasing revenue and profit growth in the years ahead. At the core of the Company’s transformation is its desire to grow its business by broadening its customer base through increased brand visibility and recognition, and by significantly expanding its total addressable market.

Areas of investment include executing our new marketing campaign as well as cultivating new customers through the Company’s collaboration with LifeMD. Through an expected investment of approximately $20 to $25 million in Company-led marketing efforts in 2024, we are committed to driving growth and enhancing brand visibility while highlighting our holistic
20
offer. We are trialing and adjusting our activities to maximize breakthrough, and are optimizing spending dependent on whether we expect to see a positive return on incremental expenditures. This high-profile national campaign aims to elevate OPTAVIA brand awareness, foster engagement and drive customer conversion. With a multi-phase, omnichannel approach, the campaign is introducing new consumer and coach-facing branding and visuals, and elevate the website, social and digital experience. The Company incurred approximately $16.4 million in advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

We plan to continue our investment through the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, and form the foundation of the Company’s strategy to return to growth, broadening and deepening our acquisition channels. This aligns with our three strategic growth pillars – robust marketing initiatives, coaching network expansion and strategic collaboration with LifeMD – to empower individuals on their journey to optimal health and wellbeing.

We believe by significantly broadening our customer acquisition activities, through launching our new marketing campaign, upgrading customers' digital experience, and leaning into the medically supported weight loss market through our collaboration with LifeMD, we will be positioned for future success.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management develops, and changes periodically, these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes in our critical estimates or policies during the first nine months of 2024.
Overview of Results of Operations
Our product sales accounted for approximately 97% and 98% of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and approximately 97% for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Revenue: Revenue decreased $95.7 million, or 40.6%, to $140.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $235.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decline in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in the number of active earning OPTAVIA coaches to 30,000 as of September 30, 2024, a 36.3% decrease from 47,100 as of September 30, 2023 and the decline in the productivity per active earning OPTAVIA coach. Revenue decreased $397.6 million, or 45.1%, to $483.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $881.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decline in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by a decrease in the number of active earning OPTAVIA coaches, the decline in productivity per active earnings OPTAVIA coach, and a $9.1 million impact from a timing difference related to changes in the Company’s sales order terms and conditions with its customers realized in the first quarter of 2023. The average revenue per active earning OPTAVIA coach was $4,672 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a 6.7% decrease compared to $5,008 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The quarterly average revenue per active earning OPTAVIA coach was $4,754 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a 14.3% decrease compared to $5,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in productivity per active earning OPTAVIA coach for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by continued pressure on customer acquisition.
Cost of sales: Cost of sales decreased $24.0 million, or 41.0%, to $34.5 million from $58.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from the corresponding period in 2023. The decrease in cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by decreased volumes. Cost of sales decreased $119.5 million, or 48.5%, to $127.1 million from $246.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by approximately $105.8 million attributable to decreased volumes and $10.6 million in efficiencies in inventory management.
Non-GAAP adjusted cost of sales were $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $24.0 million, or 41.0%, as compared to $58.5 million from the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted cost of sales were $124.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $122.1 million, or 49.5%, as compared to $246.6 million for the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted cost of sales excludes expenses in connection with the
23
Company’s restructuring of external manufacturing agreements. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of each of non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Gross profit: Gross profit decreased $71.7 million, or 40.4%, to $105.7 million from $177.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from the corresponding period in 2023. The decrease in gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was due to lower revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased 20 basis points to 75.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 75.2% for the corresponding period in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, gross profit decreased $278.1 million, or 43.8%, to $356.4 million from $634.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to lower revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased 170 basis points to 73.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 72.0% for the corresponding period in 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was positively impacted by efficiencies in inventory management.
Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit was equal to GAAP gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the three months ended September 30, 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit was $359.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $275.5 million, or 43.4%, as compared to $634.5 million for the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit margin increased 220 basis points to 74.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 72.0% for the corresponding period in 2023. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”): SG&A expenses were $103.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $48.3 million, or 31.8%, as compared to $151.9 million from the corresponding period in 2023. SG&A expenses decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to a $38.2 million decrease in OPTAVIA coach compensation on fewer active earning coaches and lower volumes and $5.0 million of reduced costs for coach-related events, including the annual OPTAVIA convention. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 73.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 64.4% for the corresponding period in 2023. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily reflecting approximately 590 basis points of costs for our Company-led customer acquisition initiative and 340 basis points attributable to the loss of leverage on fixed costs due to lower sales volumes. Customer-led customer acquisition initiatives are included within the Advertising Expense caption of Footnote 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. SG&A expenses included research and development costs of $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in connection with the development of new products and plans, and clinical research activities. SG&A expenses were $354.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $162.5 million, or 31.5%, as compared to $516.8 million from the corresponding period in 2023. SG&A expenses decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to an approximately $161.2 million decrease in OPTAVIA coach compensation on fewer active earning coaches and lower volumes and an $8.2 million decrease in credit card fees, partially offset by $16.4 million of Company-led customer acquisition initiatives and $12.5 million of supply chain optimization costs. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 73.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 58.7% for the corresponding period in 2023 primarily reflecting approximately 340 basis points of loss of leverage on fixed costs due to lower sales volumes, 340 basis points of costs incurred for our Company-led customer acquisition initiatives, and 260 basis points for supply chain optimization costs. SG&A expenses included research and development costs of $3.3 million and $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in connection with the development of new products and plans, and clinical research activities.
Non-GAAP adjusted SG&A expenses were $101.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $50.0 million, or 32.9%, as compared to $151.9 million from the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted SG&A expenses were $333.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $183.0 million, or 35.4%, as compared to $516.8 million from the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted SG&A excludes expenses related to the Company’s supply chain optimization costs, costs to exit hotel commitments for the Company’s annual OPTAVIA convention in future years, reflecting a change in strategy, and costs for the collaboration with LifeMD. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Income from operations: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s income from operations was $2.1 million, a $23.4 million decrease from the $25.5 million income from operations for the corresponding period in 2023 primarily as a result of decreased gross profit partially offset by decreased SG&A expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 the Company’s income from operations as a percentage of revenue was 1.5% as compared to the Company’s income from operations as a percentage of revenue of 10.8% for the corresponding period in 2023, due to the factors described above impacting SG&A expenses, partially offset by the factors impacting gross profit. For the nine months ended September 30,
24
2024, income from operations decreased $115.6 million to less than $2.2 million from $117.7 million for the corresponding period in 2023 primarily as a result of the factors described above impacting SG&A expenses, partially offset by the factors impacting gross profit. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to less than 0.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 13.4% for the corresponding period in 2023 due to the factors above impacting SG&A expenses, partially offset by the factors impacting gross profit.
Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $21.8 million, or 85.3%, as compared to $25.5 million from the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations as a percentage of revenue was 2.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 810 basis points from 10.8% for the corresponding period in the prior year Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations was $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $92.5 million, or 78.6%, as compared to $117.7 million from the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations as a percentage of revenue was 5.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 810 basis points from 13.4% for the corresponding period in the prior year. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Provision for income taxes: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.4 million in income tax expense, an effective tax rate of 28.5%, as compared to $3.4 million, an effective tax rate of 12.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in the tax benefit for donations of inventory compared to 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $1.2 million in income tax expense, an effective tax rate of 48.6%, as compared to $25.6 million, an effective tax rate of 21.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by the impact of the tax shortfall for stock compensation, which was magnified by the near break-even pre-tax income position in the current year.
Non-GAAP adjusted income tax provision was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an effective tax rate of 26.0% as compared to 12.9% for the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted income tax provision was $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an effective tax rate of 27.0%, as compared to 21.5% for the corresponding period in 2023. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Net income: Net income was $1.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared $23.1 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $93.4 million, or $8.55 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The period-over-period changes were driven by the factors described above.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $3.9 million or $0.35 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $2.12 per diluted share for the corresponding period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $21.4 million or $1.95 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $8.55 per diluted share for the corresponding period in 2023. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose various non-GAAP financial measures in this quarterly report, our quarterly earnings press release, and other public disclosures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented on an as-adjusted basis: Cost of sales, Gross profit, SG&A expenses, income from operations, other income (expense), provision for income taxes, net income, and diluted earnings per share. Each of these as-adjusted financial measures excludes the impact of certain amounts related to supply chain optimization and restructuring of external manufacturing agreements, costs to exit hotel commitments for our OPTAVIA convention in future years, unrealized gains or losses on our investment in LifeMD common stock, and the LifeMD collaboration as further identified below and have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is included below. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations because we believe they provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s on-going economic performance. We have chosen to
25
provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures included in this report (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had stockholders’ equity of $207.3 million and working capital of $152.6 million at September 30, 2024 as compared with $201.5 million and $131.7 million at December 31, 2023, respectively. The $5.9 million net increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily driven by a $5.2 million increase in share-based compensation and $1.1 million of net income for the period, partially offset by $0.8 million in net shares repurchased for employee taxes. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investment securities increased from $150.0 million at December 31, 2023 to $170.0 million at September 30, 2024.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $107.7 million to $29.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $137.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily driven by a $73.3 million decrease in net income excluding non-cash charges, a $46.1 million decrease related to a smaller inventory reduction in the period ending September 30, 2024 to align with sales demand, and a $4.0 million decrease resulting from lower prepaid
27
expenses and other current assets, partially offset by a $11.6 million increase resulting from a smaller reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses during the period, and a $4.6 million increase resulting from lower other assets.
Net cash used in investing activities was $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $50.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by investments purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulting in a $42.9 million decrease of net purchases of investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $60.4 million to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $61.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a $54.3 million decrease in cash dividends paid to stockholders, a $3.6 million decrease in stock repurchases, and a $2.5 million decrease in net shares repurchased for employee taxes.
In pursuing its business strategy, the Company may require additional cash for operating and investing activities. The Company expects future cash requirements in both the short term and the long term, if any, to be funded from operating cash flow and financing activities.
The Company is currently investing in new growth initiatives which have the potential to impact liquidity in future periods. The Company’s current growth initiatives, which are primarily comprised of Company-led customer acquisition, new product development and the Company’s Medically Support Weight Loss collaboration with LifeMD, do not require any material contractual commitments or capital expenditures in future periods. Since the future costs of these endeavors are variable in nature and will be scaled at the discretion of management, we do not believe there is any significant impact on our liquidity or capital resources.
From time to time, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions that complement our business. If consummated, any such transactions may use a portion of our working capital or require the issuance of equity or debt. We have no present understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any material acquisitions.
On April 13, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a credit agreement among the Company, the Guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent. On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the borrowing capacity and convert the interest rate to be based on SOFR, from LIBOR (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $225.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides for an uncommitted incremental facility that permits the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the senior secured revolving credit facility by up to $100.0 million. The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to credit facilities. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the credit facility and was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
On October 30, 2024, the Company terminated its Amended Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A. The Company had no borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, inclusive of the credit facility and letter of credit sublimit, between September 30, 2024, and the termination date.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and a decline in the stock market. The Company does not enter into derivatives, foreign exchange transactions or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and market pricing impacting our credit facility and investment in money market securities, government and agency securities, and corporate bonds. Other than for strategic investments, its current investment policy is to maintain an investment portfolio consisting of corporate bonds and U.S. money market securities directly or through managed funds. Its cash is deposited in and invested through highly rated financial institutions in North America. Its marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk and market pricing risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase or if market pricing decreases. If market interest rates were to increase and market pricing were to decrease immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at September 30, 2024, the Company estimates that the fair value of its investment portfolio would decline by an immaterial amount and therefore it would not expect its operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a change in market conditions on our investments. Additionally, the Company is exposed to market risk related to price fluctuations in equity markets related to its investment in
28
LifeMD common stock, purchased in December of 2023. If equity prices were to decrease immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at September 30, 2024, the Company estimates that the fair value of the Company investment would decline by an immaterial amount and therefore it would not expect its operating results or cash flows to be affected by any significant degree by the effect of a change in market conditions on our investment.
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposure since December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Act, as amended, as of September 30, 2024. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and on a timely basis. Based on this evaluation performed in accordance with the criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
29
Part II Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings that arise out of the ordinary course of its business. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Medifast, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Medifast,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and notes that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included and management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the 2023 audited consolidated financial statements at that date included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Presentation of Financial Statements - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings that arise out of the ordinary course of its business. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.
Advertising Expense - Advertising expense includes the cost of promotional materials and activities, primarily digital marketing. The cost of the Company’s advertising efforts is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $6.7 and $16.4 million in advertising expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and approximately $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. These expenses are recorded as a component of Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted in 2024
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03—Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2023-03”) to (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted the
standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The adoption of the standard had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, including jurisdictional information, by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Prospective application is required, though retrospective application is permitted. Entities are permitted to early adopt the standard. The Company did not early adopt for the 2024 reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company did not early adopt the standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) computations are calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):

The calculation of diluted EPS excluded 395 thousand and 13 thousand antidilutive restricted stock awards for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 331 thousand and 15 thousand antidilutive restricted stock awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. EPS is computed independently for each of the periods presented above, and accordingly, the sum of the quarterly earnings per share may not equal the year-to-date total computed.

Stock Options
The Company has issued non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and non-employee directors. The fair values of these options were estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which required estimates of the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, and dividend yield. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2024 generally vested over a period of 3 years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of these options is $66.68. Due to the Company’s lack of option exercise history on the date of grant, the expected term was calculated using the simplified method defined as the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term of each option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant that most closely corresponded to the expected term of the option. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period of time equivalent to the expected term for each award. The dividend yield was computed as the annualized dividend rate at the grant date divided by the strike price of the stock option. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not grant stock options.

The Company withheld approximately 11 thousand shares and 10 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Market and Performance-based Share Awards
The Company has issued market and performance-based share awards in 2022 and 2023 and performance-based share awards in 2020, 2021, and 2024 to certain key executives who were granted deferred shares and may earn between 0% and 250% of the target number depending upon both the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”), for those with market conditions, and the Company’s performance against predetermined performance goals over a three-year performance period after the date of grant. Market and performance-based share awards that are tied to the Company’s TSR are valued using the Monte Carlo method and are recognized ratably as expense over the award’s performance period. The fair value of the performance-based share awards is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant adjusted by expected level of achievement over the performance period. Expense for performance-based share awards is amortized ratably over the performance period. In the event that management determines that the Company will not reach the previously estimated achievement of the predetermined performance goals established in the grant agreement, any previously recognized expense is reversed in the period in which such a determination is made. Management determined that the market and performance-based share awards granted in March of 2022 and performance-based share awards granted in October of 2021 would not reach the previously estimated achievement of the predetermined performance goals resulting in a reversal of previously recorded share-based compensation expense of $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Management also determined that the market and performance-based share awards granted in March of 2023 would not reach the previously estimated achievement of the predetermined performance goals resulting in a reversal of previously recorded share-based compensation expense of $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company withheld 8 thousand shares and 22 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of performance-based share awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total fair value of performance-based share awards issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

The Company has operating leases for office and warehouse space and certain equipment. In certain of the Company’s lease agreements, the rental payments are adjusted periodically based on defined terms within the lease. The Company did not have any finance leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Our leases relating to office and warehouse space have lease terms of 65 months to 102 months. Our leases relating to equipment have lease terms of 36 months, with certain of them having automatic renewal clauses.
The Company’s warehouse agreements also contain non-lease components, in the form of payments towards variable logistics services and labor charges, which the Company is obligated to pay based on the services consumed by it.

INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS
Certain financial assets and liabilities are accounted for at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on-going basis.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.
The following tables present the Company’s cash and financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for each of the hierarchy levels (in thousands):

Credit Agreement
On April 13, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent. On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the borrowing capacity and convert the interest rate to be based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $225.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides for an uncommitted incremental facility that permits the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the senior secured revolving credit facility by up to $100.0 million. The Amended Credit Agreement matures on April 13, 2026.
The Company’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors. The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company will pay to the administrative agent for the account of each revolving lender a commitment fee on a quarterly basis based on amounts committed but unused under the revolving facility from 0.20% to 0.40% per annum depending on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Company is also obligated to pay the administrative agent customary fees for credit facilities of this size and type.
Revolving borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Term SOFR Rate for the interest period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Rate based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio. As of September 30, 2024, the Applicable Rate for Term SOFR Loans is 1.25% per annum and the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans is 0.25% per annum. SOFR based loans also include a Credit Spread Adjustment based on the duration of the borrowing.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on their assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments and change the nature of their businesses. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, subject to thresholds and grace periods, including, among others, payment default, covenant default, cross default to other material indebtedness and judgment default. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.00 and an Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.50 to 1.00.
The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, inclusive of the credit facility and letter of credit sublimit, as of September 30, 2024 and was in compliance with all covenants.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
 9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Medifast, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Medifast,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and notes that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included and management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the 2023 audited consolidated financial statements at that date included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Presentation of Financial Statements
Presentation of Financial Statements - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings that arise out of the ordinary course of its business. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.
Advertising Expense
Advertising Expense - Advertising expense includes the cost of promotional materials and activities, primarily digital marketing. The cost of the Company’s advertising efforts is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $6.7 and $16.4 million in advertising expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and approximately $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. These expenses are recorded as a component of Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
