NEW YORK, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary care services, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Management Commentary
“LifeMD’s core telehealth business had another very strong quarter, led by outperformance in both our Rex® MD and virtual primary care verticals. We not only are very pleased with our tremendous growth rate, but also with the exponential increase in sequential profitability of our telehealth business,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and CEO of LifeMD. “As we pursue our vision to become the leading provider of direct-to-consumer virtual healthcare services, we continue to make significant investments in our technology platform, affiliated medical group and differentiated products that help patients live healthier and happier lives. In the third quarter, we launched in-home laboratory services, a safe and efficacious non-GLP-1 weight management therapy, and our men’s hormonal therapy offering under our Rex MD brand. We also made progress with our 6S Framework wellness program, including the launch of a 50-state nutrition counseling program. I am particularly excited about the recent opening of our national, vertically integrated pharmacy, which will be accretive in 2025 and enables LifeMD to become a fully integrated, end-to-end provider of virtual healthcare services. These advancements continue to underscore our commitment to virtual healthcare market leadership across a range of categories and capabilities.”
“LifeMD had a strong quarter with top- and bottom-line growth led by our core telehealth business. Not only did this business achieve 65% year-over-year growth on a standalone basis and patient subscriber base grew to approximately 269,000 at quarter-end, but telehealth adjusted EBITDA increased 200% sequentially to $2.5 million. Although WorkSimpli’s financial results continued to be pressured, the business returned to sequential subscriber growth and is still forecasted to reach peak monthly profitability by year-end,” commented Marc Benathen, Chief Financial Officer of LifeMD. “Cash flow continued to increase and remained exceptionally strong. For the third quarter, LifeMD generated over $6 million of operating cash flow and bolstered its cash balance by approximately $2 million to $37.6 million as of September 30th. Our strong unit economics, consistent cash flow generation and strengthened balance sheet continue to support our ability to optimize our corporate investment needs.”

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. Additionally, we report telehealth adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure to clarify the financial performance of our core telehealth business excluding WorkSimpli. 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 and reserve adjustments on discontinued products, extraordinary 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.
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 and reserve adjustments on discontinued products, extraordinary 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.
Telehealth adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted EBITDA for the telehealth business excluding WorkSimpli. We have provided below a reconciliation of telehealth adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to common shareholders solely related to the Company’s core telehealth business excluding WorkSimpli, LifeMD’s majority owned subsidiary. WorkSimpli does not have any overlap of revenues nor expenses with LifeMD’s telehealth business.
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. Telehealth adjusted EBITDA is specifically relevant to LifeMD to provide shareholders a comparable measure of profitability for our core telehealth business without the impact of our majority owned, but separately managed non-core subsidiary, WorkSimpli. Adjusted EBITDA, telehealth 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.
