About this update from Biote Corp.
Strengthened business with launch of BioteRx and enhancements to Biote Method Provides fiscal 2025 outlook IRVING, Texas, March 12, 2025 --( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Biote (NASDAQ: BTMD), a leading solutions provider in preventive health care through the delivery of personalized hormone optimization and therapeutic wellness, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights (All financial result comparisons made are against the prior-year period) Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights (All financial result comparisons made are against the prior year) "In 2024 Biote strengthened its capabilities to provide the next level of individualized and evidence-based healthcare," said Bob Peterson, Biote Chief Financial Officer. "Full year 2024 revenue increased 6.4% compared to 2023 and, with continued efficiencies from the vertical integration of our 503B manufacturing facility, gross profit margin also improved. Even as fourth quarter procedure volume was impacted due to the transition to upgraded clinical decision support software throughout our network, fourth quarter revenue increased 9.0%. We are continuing to work closely with our practitioners and are offering additional training on our enhanced software. We ended the year in a strong financial position, with $39.3 million in cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet." Bret Christensen, Biote Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Over the past fifteen months, Biote achieved significant progress, which we believe will help us succeed in building a strong foundation for growth in the years ahead. With the phased launch of the BioteRx platform and the roll-out of our upgraded clinical decision support software, we strengthened our competitive moat and broadened our capabilities to more comprehensively address the growing market for hormone optimization and therapeutic wellness. Additionally, we continued our efforts to optimize our manufacturing efficiency and strengthen our supply chain through the integration and growth of Asteria Health. Biote continues to generate strong operating cash flow while also investing in future growth." 2024 Fourth Quarter Financial Review (All financial result comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted) Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $49.8 million, an increase of 9.0% from $45.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Procedure revenue grew 5.0%, primarily reflecting growth at established top-tier clinics. As expected, fourth quarter procedure revenue growth was negatively impacted by two headwinds: 1) a reduction in procedure volume as clinics transitioned to our upgraded clinical decision support software introduced in the third quarter of 2024; and 2) our focus on training our existing practitioners, which impacted our ability to add new clinics at the expected rate. Dietary supplement revenue grew 10.2%, benefiting from the transition of a portion of this business to our e-commerce platform on Amazon. Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 71.8% compared to 69.4% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the vertical integration of our 503B manufacturing facility and effective cost management. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $2.8 million, compared to $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased due to employee-related investments and additional legal expenses. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $3.5 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $0.10, compared to net income of $12.1 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $0.18. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023 included a loss of $0.8 million and a gain of $5.4 million, respectively, due to a change in the fair value of the earnout liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $15.1 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.3%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.6 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.7%. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected the operating leverage in our business model. 2024 Full Year Financial Review (All financial result comparisons made are against the prior year unless otherwise noted) Revenue for 2024 was $197.2 million, an increase of 6.4% from $185.4 million in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by growth in procedure revenue. Gross profit margin for 2024 was 70.5% compared to 68.8% for 2023. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the vertical integration of our 503B manufacturing facility and effective cost management. Operating income for 2024 was $31.6 million, an increase of 10.3% compared to operating income of $28.7 million for 2023. Operating income improved in 2024 primarily due to revenue growth and higher gross profit, which more than offset higher operating expenses. Net income for 2024 was $0.05 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $0.09, compared to net loss of $(2.8) million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. shareholders of $0.13 in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 was $58.2 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.5%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $55.3 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.8% for 2023. 2025 Financial Outlook "To reach our full potential and drive accelerated growth, I have identified several areas of emphasis for 2025 which I believe are fundamental to commercial execution at a high level," said Mr. Christensen. "First, we are strengthening our efforts to maximize the value of our top-tier providers. Second, we are intensifying our focus on adding practitioners to further broaden our network and reinvigorate our procedure revenue growth rate. Third, we are working to drive revenue growth by strengthening accountability and improving consistency and discipline throughout the commercial organization. Although these changes are expected to be implemented quickly, they will take time to show results before we experience an anticipated acceleration in revenue growth. I’m confident that these initiatives will strengthen our commercial organization through increased productivity beginning later this year." The Company expects the following for fiscal 2025: Although we do not typically provide quarterly financial guidance, we expect first quarter 2025 revenue to be slightly higher as compared to the first quarter of 2024 as we ramp up training and onboarding of new practitioners to reinvigorate quickstart-related revenue. First quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately 5 percent lower as compared to the first quarter of 2024 due to increased sales and marketing activities to reaccelerate new customer growth.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, Biote has disclosed Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that it calculates as net income before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, litigation expenses, legal settlements, transaction-related expenses, merger and acquisition expenses, fair value adjustments to certain equity instruments classified as liabilities and other expenses. Below we have provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because it is a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and determine payments under compensation programs. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows: In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by Biote’s management about which expenses are excluded or included. A reconciliation is provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results. Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of certain information needed to calculate reconciling items. For example, the Company has not included a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods presented in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company’s projected Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict including, but not limited to, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, due diligence expenses and legal expenses. Due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from projected Adjusted EBITDA in future periods, management does not forecast them for internal use and therefore cannot create a quantitative projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) reconciliation for the periods presented without unreasonable efforts. A quantitative reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented would imply a degree of precision and certainty as to these future items that does not exist and could be confusing to investors. From a qualitative perspective, it is anticipated that the differences between projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented will consist of items similar to those described in the financial tables later in this release, including, for example and without limitation, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, due diligence expenses and legal expenses. The timing and amount of any of these excluded items could significantly impact the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) for a particular period. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis.
