Biote (NASDAQ:BTMD), a leading solutions provider in preventive health care through the delivery of personalized hormone therapy, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior year period)

• Revenue of $49.3 million, a 19.1% increase
• Gross profit margin of 67.9%, a 60-basis point increase

• Adjusted EBITDA of $14.5 million, a 10.6% increase

"Biote continued to broaden awareness of the benefits of hormone replacement therapy while delivering solid financial performance in our second quarter," said Terry Weber, Biote's Chief Executive Officer. "Revenue grew more than 19% over the prior-year period, and we achieved an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.5% even as we invested in strengthening our capabilities. During the quarter, we continued to optimize our capital structure by completing a warrant exchange offer and consent solicitation. In addition, another secondary offering of our Class A common stock was completed during the quarter, further enhancing the liquidity of our publicly traded shares without diluting current holders."

Ms. Weber continued, "Recently we formalized our commitment to men's hormone health with the launch of our new Men's Health division. We are excited about the long-term opportunity in this large and growing addressable market, as more men seek safe and effective treatments regardless of age.

"To more effectively address the growing opportunities in today's dynamic preventative health market, we continue to expand our strategic approach, encompassing a broader range of hormone and wellness therapies. For example, we are currently trialing an expanded suite of requested products from our top providers in response to growing patient demand for wellness products that are complementary to our existing therapies. Ultimately, we aim to become a leading platform provider of evidence-based therapeutic wellness solutions."

2023 Second Quarter Financial Review

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

Revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $49.3 million, an increase of 19.1% from $41.4 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by procedure revenue growth of 9.8% and dietary supplement revenue growth of 52.8%. Second quarter dietary supplement revenue benefited from a successful seasonal promotion for Biote practitioners, as well as a continued positive response to our new direct-to-patient distribution channel.

Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2023 was 67.9% compared to 67.3% for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in gross profit margin reflected continued effective cost management.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2023 was $7.7 million, compared to a loss of $(85.6) million for the second quarter of 2022. Operating income in the second quarter of 2023 reflected growth in revenue and improved gross profit, partially offset by increased personnel and other expenses to build our infrastructure. Operating loss in the second quarter of 2022 was mainly due to transaction-related expenses of $18.8 million and share-based compensation of $79.3 million at time of going public.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $(13.1) million, or $(0.25) per share, compared to net loss of $(21.3) million, or $(0.34) per share, for the second quarter of 2022. Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 primarily reflected a net change in the fair value adjustments to warrant and earnout liabilities of $18.2 million. Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was impacted by several transaction-related items.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023 was $14.5 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 29.5%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.1 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 31.8%, for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the growth in revenue and improved gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses to support the Company's growth and expansion.¹

2023 Financial Outlook

"Biote continues to drive profitable growth as we strengthen our capabilities, broaden our suite of product offerings and focus on therapeutic wellness solutions. Due to temporary inefficiencies resulting from the realignment and expansion of our sales geographies and evolving market dynamics, we anticipate a more moderate pace of growth in the second half of 2023 as compared to our prior forecast. As a result, we now forecast 2023 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA will likely be toward the lower end of our guidance range," concluded Ms. Weber.

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, transaction-related expenses, fair value adjustments to certain equity instruments classified as liabilities and other non-operating costs. Below we have provided a reconciliation of net income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to Adjusted EBITDA.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it 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 does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements of our assets;
• 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. 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 alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results.
