Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Medifast, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Medifast,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and notes that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included and management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the 2024 audited consolidated financial statements at that date included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Presentation of Financial Statements - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings that arise out of the ordinary course of its business. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.
Advertising Expense - The costs of advertising efforts are expensed as incurred. They are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising expense, excluding agency fees, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $4.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes - Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.3 million, an effective tax rate of 246.8%, as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an effective tax rate of 28.2%. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the tax rate implication of a change in unrecognized tax benefits due to finalization of a state tax examination, which represented 110.8% of the change, and a tax shortfall for stock compensation, which represented 113.9% of the change. These changes were magnified by the near break-even pre-tax position in the current year.
Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted in 2025
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted the standard for annual period during the quarter ended December 31,
2024, and for interim period during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company's segment disclosures are reported in Footnote 9.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, including jurisdictional information, by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for all other entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Prospective application is required, though retrospective application is permitted. Entities are permitted to early adopt the standard. The Company has not early adopted the standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03—Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The cost of finished goods includes the cost of raw materials, packaging supplies, direct and indirect labor, and other indirect manufacturing costs. On a quarterly basis, management reviews inventories for unsalable or obsolete inventories.

- EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) computations are calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):
| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net income (loss) | $(772) | $8,316 |

The calculation of diluted EPS excluded 412 thousand and 51 thousand antidilutive restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
- SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
The Company has issued non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and non-employee directors under the Amended and Restated 2012 Share Incentive Program. The fair value of these options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which required estimates of the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, and dividend yield. Options outstanding as of March 31, 2025 generally vested over a period of 3 years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of these options is $66.68. Due to the Company’s lack of option exercise history on the date of grant, the expected term was calculated using the simplified method defined as the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term of each option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant that most closely corresponds to the expected term of the option. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period of time equivalent to the expected term for each award. The dividend yield was computed as the annualized dividend rate at the grant date divided by the strike price of the stock option. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company didnot grant stock options.
The following table is a summary of our stock option activity (in thousands, except per share data):
| Three months ended March 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
| Awards | Weighted-Average Exercise Price | Awards | Weighted-Average Exercise Price | |

| Exercisable at end of the period | 22 | $66.68 | 22 | $66.68 |
As of March 31, 2025, the weighted-average remaining contractual life for both the outstanding stock options and exercisable stock options was 2.9 years with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0. There wasno unrecognized compensation on the awards for the period ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company received $0 thousand and $36 thousand in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options, respectively. The total intrinsic value for stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0 thousand and $15 thousand, respectively.
Restricted Stock
The Company has issued restricted stock under the Amended and Restated 2012 Share Incentive Plan to employees and non-employee directors generally with vesting terms up to 3 years after the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Expense for restricted stock is amortized ratably over the vesting period.
The following table summarizes our restricted stock activity (in thousands, except per share data):
| Three months ended March 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
| Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | |

Market and performance-based share awards that are tied to the Company’s TSR are valued using the Monte Carlo method and are recognized ratably as expense over the award’s performance period. The fair value of the performance-based share awards is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant adjusted by expected level of achievement over the performance period. Expense for performance-based share awards is amortized ratably over the performance period. In the event that management determines that the Company will not reach the lower threshold of the predetermined performance goals established in the grant agreement, any previously recognized expense is reversed in the period in which such a determination is made.

- INVESTMENTS
Certain financial assets and liabilities are accounted for at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on-going basis.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.
The following tables present the Company’s cash and financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for each of the hierarchy levels (in thousands):

The Company's OPTAVIA segment derives revenues from customers through the sale of OPTAVIA products which are shipped directly to customers. Our OPTAVIA coaches help customers adopt healthy habits and learn the benefits of our products. The accounting policies of the Company's single segment are the same as those described in the Company's Significant Accounting Policies.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that also is reported on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. The CODM uses net income (loss) to evaluate the income (loss) generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for share buybacks. Net income (loss) is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income (loss) in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation. The Company does not have significant intra-entity sales or transfers.
The Company hasone reportable segment: OPTAVIA. The OPTAVIA segment recognizes revenue when control of the products is transferred to the customer. The segment pays commissions on the sale of products to OPTAVIA coaches.
