    NEW YORK, May 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary care services, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.   

    Management Commentary

    “During the first quarter of 2024, LifeMD continued to demonstrate the scalability of our virtual care platform and the alignment of a solid long-term strategy with a current market need. Our focus is on making high quality healthcare accessible for all and we are proud of the impact we are having in this area. We continue to accelerate growth in new patient sign-ups and active subscribers in our GLP-1 weight management business, which alone added over 20,000 net new patients and ended the quarter with over 42,000 subscribers. As of today, we have over 50,000 weight management subscribers on our platform. Moreover, retention for our weight management program remained strong with over 80% of patients starting GLP-1 treatment remaining a patient after 90 days. We also made significant progress on our pharmacy and medical benefits infrastructure and are now seeing prior authorization approval rates between 40-50% for branded GLP-1 treatments. Perhaps most important, our unit economics remain very strong as we continue to achieve a Day 1 return on ad spend of approximately 1.0x with retention that continues to exceed our expectations. I am also particularly proud of our recent announcement to partner with Withings, making us the first telehealth provider to leverage critical metabolic data to drive improved patient outcomes and improved management of chronic conditions and co-morbidities,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and CEO of LifeMD.

    “Our lifestyle healthcare businesses, led by RexMD®, continued to produce consistent double-digit growth with robust contribution margins that exceeded 30%,” he added. “We continued to make progress on several key fronts that will provide new, long-term growth levers for LifeMD including our Medifast collaboration, acceptance of commercial insurance which we will launch on a limited basis in the second quarter and the launches of two new product categories under RexMD in the second quarter. The strength of our existing businesses coupled with these new initiatives position LifeMD for accelerated growth and profitability in the back half of 2024 and beyond.”

    “We continued our strong financial performance during the first quarter with outstanding topline growth led by a 53% increase in telehealth revenue and over $5 million of cash flow from operations. For the fourth consecutive quarter we achieved positive cash flow from operations and generated positive net cash flow. Adjusting for the large increase in deferred revenue related to the continued over-performance in our GLP-1 weight management program, we generated strong cash-adjusted EBITDA and cash flow continued to outperform expectations. Given the strength of our combined telehealth businesses, we are raising our full-year 2024 revenue guidance to at least $205 million, up from prior guidance of at least $200 million,” added Marc Benathen, Chief Financial Officer of LifeMD.

    About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
    To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS as non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) attributable to common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, financing transaction expense, non-controlling interests, foreign currency translation, inventory valuation, sales return reserves, litigation costs, loss on debt extinguishment, dividends, insurance acceptance and Sarbanes-Oxley readiness, acquisition costs, severance expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

    Cash-adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted EBITDA before the change in the Company's deferred revenue balance from the most recent fiscal year-end. We have provided below a reconciliation of Cash adjusted EBITDA to adjusted EBITDA.

    Adjusted EPS is defined as the diluted net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, financing transaction expense, non-controlling interests, foreign currency translation, inventory valuation, sales return reserves, litigation costs, loss on debt extinguishment, dividends, insurance acceptance and Sarbanes-Oxley readiness, acquisition costs, severance expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of adjusted EPS to Diluted loss per share attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

    We believe the above financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the terms adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS may vary from that of others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss per share, operating loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance.
