Science has been part of Medifast’s DNA for more than 40 years. With our ongoing research and compelling data elevating the science behind the flagship 5 & 1 plan and innovative products, the company is energizing the coach community to do what they do best, empowering people to take control of their metabolic health. Medifast's weight loss and metabolic health experts unveiled Metabolic Synchronization, a breakthrough approach that reverses metabolic dysfunction through a targeted reset, and is aimed to drive future innovation. Research shows that the Company’s comprehensive plan activated strong and targeted fat burn to enhance metabolic health and body composition by reducing visceral fat, preserving lean mass and protecting muscle, ultimately empowering individuals to reach their health goals. Looking ahead, we plan to launch significant product innovations, incorporating next-generation ingredients for metabolic enhancement. We expect to bring this new product line to market next year.

Diabetes Obes Metab. 2025; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39743934/ lost on GLP-1 medications is typically regained within 12 months of stopping treatment, with cardiometabolic benefits often reversing as well.2 The takeaway is clear: GLP-1 medications can be effective tools, but lasting results require more than medication—they require holistic behavior change. The need extends beyond the obesity epidemic, as over 90% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy 3, affecting blood sugar regulation, energy production, and weight management. Healthy weight loss that focuses on burning fat while preserving muscle is essential to improving metabolic health, but it demands commitment, consistency and support - not quick fixes. Because GLP-1 medications are shown to be most effective when paired with lifestyle changes, we see strong alignment with our expertise helping people create durable habits through coach-supported, behavior-based systems.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $17.3 million to $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $29.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by $4.7 million from changes in inventory and $4.2 million from changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by $6.3 million from changes in prepaid income taxes and $1.2 million from changes in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

GLP-1 medications can be a powerful appetite suppressant, but the medication alone will not yield sustainable lifestyle change.

For audiences looking for a GLP-1 based solution, we have built a collaboration with national virtual primary care provider, LifeMD.

In the second quarter of 2025 we made the decision to sell our investment in LifeMD, Inc (Nasdaq: LFMD) common stock; however, we continue to collaborate with LifeMD, Inc. and offer our clients access to clinicians and GLP-1 weight loss medications, where clinically appropriate.

Medifast supports coaches by providing tools and resources to help them build their business while incorporating the latest scientific research into innovations. This includes leveraging shared success stories, leadership development, and best practices from experienced coaches. Recently launched programs offer a clear roadmap, incentives, and recognition to help coaches grow their business. One such initiative is the new EDGE program, which emphasizes progressive business building behaviors and rewards, designed to be easily adoptable by new and experienced coaches alike. The behavior-designed system is focused on leading indicators of success, not just outcomes or ranking. While the main goals of the program are to provide a structured approach for coaches to maximize their potential, improve their leadership skills, expand their reach, and achieve recognition for their progress, the Company also expects that an outcome of the program will be increased client acquisition and conversion of clients into new coaches. We also rolled out Premier+ in early July, a refresh of OPTAVIA’s autoship program. Premier+ offers a new tiered pricing discount on monthly orders, reduces list pricing on some of the most popular products, and provides a more reliable and predictable compensation structure. These changes were implemented with the intent of making acquiring and retaining clients easier for our coaches. Medifast also remains focused on providing enhanced digital tools to support the management of the coach business to streamline administrative tasks, freeing up coaches to focus their efforts on what matters most: supporting their clients.

The weight loss industry is very competitive and encompasses a multitude of weight loss products and programs. These include a wide variety of commercial weight loss programs, pharmaceutical products, surgical interventions, books, self-help diets, dietary meal replacements, and appetite suppressants as well as digital tools, app-based health and wellness monitoring solutions, and wearable trackers. The weight loss market is served by a diverse array of competitors. Potential clients seeking to manage their weight can turn to traditional center-based competitors, online diet-oriented sites, self-directed dieting and self-administered products such as prescription medications, over-the-counter medications and supplements, as well as medically supervised programs. Recently, it became clear that medical weight loss solutions, such as GLP-1 medications, have become an increasingly key component of the overall health and wellness ecosystem, and the recent surging awareness and popularity of these weight loss medications serve as another major competitor, as these products have prompted a huge change in the way that consumers think about weight loss and lifestyle modification solutions in general. We recognize that these weight loss medications have attracted significant attention from the market and pose a threat to our interactions with our traditional client base. Importantly, the efficacy claims of GLP-1 medications for weight loss are based specifically on their incorporation of lifestyle changes that include a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity. As a result, under Medifast’s OPTAVIA offering, weight loss medications can be an important element that fits into the overall tailored OPTAVIA lifestyle plans that also include coaching, community support, nutritionally balanced meals, and exercise.

The decline in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in the number of active earning OPTAVIA coaches to 22,800 as of June 30, 2025, a 32.7% decrease from 33,900 as of June 30, 2024.
