UPDATE this press release has been updated to remove a duplicate table. Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary care and pharmacy services, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Management Commentary "Revenue of $47.3 million came in within our guidance range, and while adjusted EBITDA finished below the range we guided to, it improved approximately 21% sequentially. Most importantly, we understand the drivers of the result and have already taken steps to improve performance in the second half. At the same time, the quarter included meaningful progress in reshaping the business around longer-duration members, branded therapies, pharmacy, insurance, and new partnerships. The near-term impact on profitability was greater than we anticipated, but the decisions we made during the quarter are already driving a substantial shift towards what we believe will be higher LTV subscribers," said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and CEO of LifeMD. "Our model remains simple: Quality Care. Quality Products. Quality Revenue. We are building around longer patient relationships and a more diversified acquisition model, with increasing contributions over time from pharmaceutical manufacturers, employers, insurers, Medicare, referrals, and cross-care within our existing patient base. Following the pricing change in weight management, the share of new patients selecting multi-month packages increased from approximately 25% year to date before the change to approximately 85% after it. We believe these longer-duration relationships can support better outcomes, stronger retention, higher lifetime value, and more predictable revenue over time. "This transition to branded GLP-1 medications has weighed on near-term profitability, but it has produced a fundamentally stronger company that is more diversified. We are also encouraged by the progress we are seeing in Women's Health, the launch of XYOSTED® with Halozyme, the continued expansion of our pharmacy, and the development of our pharmaceutical, enterprise, insurance, and Medicare channels. We expect to return to positive adjusted EBITDA in the second half and to exit 2026 at an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $250 million with approximately $22 million of annualized adjusted EBITDA. LifeMD has never been better positioned, and the second half of this year will begin to demonstrate what our expanding platform is capable of," concluded Mr. Schreiber. "The second quarter reflected the planned step-down in marketing investment we described on our last call, with selling and marketing expense declining $1.8 million sequentially and other general and administrative expenses declining by approximately $2.2 million," said Atul Kavthekar, Chief Financial Officer of LifeMD. "Revenue aligned with our expectations in the quarter, and gross margin expanded to approximately 89%, driven by lower shipping and fulfillment costs, improved provider efficiency, and the continued scaling of our in-house pharmacy. Our recurring rebill base now represents approximately 84% of revenue and is the profit engine that funds our growth. We exited the quarter with $25.1 million in cash and no debt, and we amended our revolving credit facility, further strengthening our financial flexibility. As more patients choose longer-duration subscription plans and marketing spend declines in the second half, we expect cash to build through year-end." Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights All comparisons are with the second quarter of 2025 on a continuing operations basis (excluding WorkSimpli, which was divested on November 4, 2025, and is reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented). Non-GAAP financial measures referenced below are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures at the end of this press release. Second Quarter Key Performance Metrics Positioned for a Strong Second Half LifeMD enters the second half with improving acquisition trends, a growing recurring patient base, and a broader set of growth channels taking shape. Priorities for the remainder of 2026 include scaling longer-duration weight management memberships, expanding Women's Health and the XYOSTED® collaboration, increasing pharmacy attachment, and advancing pharmaceutical, insurance, Medicare, employer, and enterprise relationships. Together, these initiatives should reduce reliance on paid media, deepen patient relationships, and support improving operating leverage and financial performance through year-end.

Investor Contact [email protected]   Media Contact [email protected] About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of this financial measure enhances an investor's understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that this financial measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc. common stockholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, extraordinary litigation costs, severance and restructuring costs, acquisition expenses, insurance acceptance readiness expenses, preferred stock dividends, stock-based compensation expense, net income from discontinued operations and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of discontinued operations. We have provided below a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc. common stockholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We believe the above financial measure is commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss per share, operating loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance.
