Current report
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $2.2 million to $49.0 million, or 4.7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was driven by a $1.9 million increase in revenue from Biote-branded dietary supplements and a $1.2 million increase in service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in Biote-branded dietary supplements resulted from the complete shift of a portion of this business to our e-commerce site with Amazon for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 when a portion of this business was managed by a third-party distributor. The increase in our service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was related to a rise in technology fees earned from physician orders placed through our BioteRx platform compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. These increases in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in revenue from pellet procedures that resulted from a slowdown in new clinic additions, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $3.8 million to $26.7 million, or 16.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was due to a $0.7 million increase in marketing expenses due to increased activity on our e-commerce site with Amazon and other strategic marketing activities, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Audit and tax services fees increased $0.6 million due to an increase in the scope of services related to business combinations, asset acquisitions and the complexity of tax matters that arose from legal settlements with two of our former owners. Legal expenses increased $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to additional claims asserted by a former owner and expenses incurred to settle litigation with one of our vendors, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, our bad debt expense increased $0.6 million due to an increase in aging receivables and the timing of collections at the end of the quarter and our merchant fees increased $0.2 million due to an increase in sales transactions, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Income Tax Expense
Current report
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $0.8 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease in expense was primarily driven by a lower year to date and forecasted profit before tax, excluding certain non-includable items.

Current report
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $0.9 million to $6.5 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our cash flow from working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily impacted by a $2.4 million increase in cash used to fund accounts payable and a $1.5 million increase in cash used for accrued liabilities, which was driven by a $3.5 million legal settlement payment to one of our vendors during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cash used for accrued liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was partially offset by an increase in accrued professional fees for legal services, audit and tax services, and other general corporate expenses compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in Biote-branded dietary supplement inventory due to a 25.5% increase in dietary supplement revenue over the prior year period. This compares with a $0.2 million decrease in Biote-branded supplement inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in a $0.9 million incremental increase in cash for the 2025 period. Additionally, our accounts receivable increased during each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024; however, the increase in accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2024 outweighed the increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025 providing $0.4 million in cash over the prior year period. The increase in accounts receivable for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was attributed to a combination of the increase in total revenue for the comparative periods and the timing of collection efforts during each of the respective periods.

These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in interest income earned on our money market account as a result of a lower cash balances during the period and the maturation of a short-term investment compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Loss from Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
Previous report
The change in the loss from change in fair value of warrant liability was due to the Company’s offer to exchange its outstanding warrants for common stock. On May 9, 2023, the Company announced the commencement of its offer to each holder of its outstanding warrants, the opportunity to receive shares of common stock in exchange for each warrant tendered by the holder. As a result of the tender offer in the second quarter of 2023, the Company exchanged all of its outstanding warrants for Class A common stock; therefore, no warrants remained outstanding subsequent to June 30, 2023.
Previous report
The change in fair value of the earnout liabilities was primarily due to an overall decrease in the earnout liabilities related to the Business Combination Agreement that resulted from the settlement of the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation coupled with the change in the closing price of our Class A common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock increased 13.0%, compared with an increase of 37.3% in the corresponding period of 2023. The percentage increase in the closing price of our Class A common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 outpaced the percentage increase in the closing price of our Class A common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The impact of the 24.3% change in the price of our Class A common stock combined with the overall decrease in the earnout liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted in a decrease in the loss from change in the fair value of the earnout liability in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared with the corresponding period of the prior year.

To strengthen control over our supply chain, enhance operational efficiency and reduce production costs, we are focused on vertical integration through strategic transactions. For example, in January 2024, we completed an asset acquisition of Simpatra, LLC (“Simpatra”), in which we purchased certain intellectual property and intellectual property rights for a purchase price of (i) $1.5 million in cash, (ii) 291,829 shares of our Class A common stock and (iii) a future earnout payment of 194,553 shares of our Class A common stock upon achieving certain financial targets over a four-year period. Additionally, in January 2024 we reached an agreement with BioSana ID LLC (“BioSana”) to purchase certain assets for a purchase price of (i) $0.7 million in cash and (ii) a future earnout payment of up to $0.1 million upon the achievement of certain operating metrics. Further, in March 2024, we acquired F.H. Investments, Inc. d/b/a Asteria Health (“Asteria Health”), a 503B manufacturer of compounded bioidentical hormones, for a purchase price of (i) $8.4 million in cash and (ii) a future earnout payment of up to $0.5 million upon the achievement of certain operating metrics. As part of the integration process associated with these strategic transactions, we are narrowing our current vendor network to better manage our supply chain. On November 1, 2024, AnazaoHealth provided notice that it was exercising its right to terminate the Pharmacy Services Agreement (the “AnazaoHealth Pharmacy Services Agreement”), which we previously entered into on October 30, 2020, with such termination to be effective as of May 1, 2025. While there is no guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a new agreement with AnazaoHealth and continue our partnership following such notice of termination on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all, we believe we can continue to meet the product demands of our Biote-practitioners through our existing direct manufacturing capabilities and vendor network while continuing to expand our vertical integration.

Global economic conditions have been challenging, with disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide resulting from the effects of public health crises and otherwise. If these conditions persist and deepen, we could experience an inability to access additional capital or our liquidity could otherwise be impacted. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs and/or other efforts. A recession or additional market corrections resulting from the impact of the effects of global health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or geopolitical turmoil, such as conflicts in the Middle East, could materially affect our business and the value of our securities. The impact of global health crises and the related disruptions caused to the global economy did not have a material impact on our business during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Inflation and relatively high interest rates also present a recent challenge impacting the U.S. economy and could make it more difficult for us to obtain traditional financing on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience increases in the near future (especially if inflation rates continue to rise) on our operating costs, including our labor costs and research and development costs, due to supply chain constraints, consequences associated with global health crises and ongoing international conflicts such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East, and employee availability and wage increases, which may result in additional stress on our working capital resources.

Revenue generated from individual Biote-partnered clinics varies significantly. This variability is due to many factors, including: tenure of its practitioners as Biote-certified practitioners; the number of certified practitioners in an individual clinic; the number of patients served by a clinic; the clinic’s patient demographics; and the clinic’s geographic location and population density. The master services agreements (“MSAs”) we enter into with Biote-partnered clinics contain tiered pricing provisions for the management fees. These provisions provide for decreasing management fees owed to us based on the number of new patients treated. This can result in declines in revenue we realize from management fees from existing Biote-partnered clinics unless these are offset by revenue generated from newly acquired Biote-partnered clinics which begin at higher fee levels under the MSA.
