Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

  1. 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, 2025 has been derived from the 2025 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, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”).

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. 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 2025 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). Advertising expense, excluding agency fees, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, amounted to $0.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Assets Held for Sale - During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed a supply chain optimization initiative with the goal of aligning the Company’s distribution footprint with current demand levels. On June 28, 2024, the Company closed its Maryland Distribution Center located in Ridgely, Maryland. The Company listed the Maryland Distribution Center building and land for sale, and categorized those assets as held for sale. The net book value of the building and land was $1.4 million. The assets were recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets included in the 2025 Form 10-K. The Company closed on the sale of the land and building in February 2026, receiving $3.6 million in proceeds, net of costs to sell, and recognizing a gain on sale of $2.2 million presented within selling, general, and administrative on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited).

Provision for Income Taxes - The Company computes its income tax provision for interim periods in accordance with ASC 740. For interim periods during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company calculated an annual effective tax rate and applied that rate to year-to-date ordinary income or loss to calculate its quarterly income tax provision (“AETR Approach”). Due to the existence of a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets recorded as of December 31, 2025, the Company did not apply the AETR Approach for the period ended March 31, 2026. Instead, the Company calculated income tax expense for the interim period based on actual results for the quarter. As a result, the Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflects discrete items, primarily state income taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.2 million, an effective rate of negative (9.3)%, as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an effective rate of 246.8%. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the increased loss incurred in the March 31, 2026 period and the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of its deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. Should the valuation allowance be released in whole or in part, the Company expects to return to applying an estimated annual effective tax rate in future interim periods.

Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted in 2026

The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

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. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 250-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software to increase the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. The ASU 2025-06 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The amendments can be adopted on a prospective, modified, or retrospective basis. Entities are permitted to early adopt the standard. The Company did not early adopt for the 2025 reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

  1. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist principally of raw materials, non-food finished goods and packaged meal replacements, protein powder, and supplements held in the Company’s warehouses and outsourced distribution centers. 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.

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025
Raw materials$6,473$4,915
Packaging1,1601,654
Non-food finished goods1,0251,216
Finished goods16,48616,785
Reserve for obsolete inventory(3,741)(4,342)
Total$21,403$20,228
  1. 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,
20262025
Numerator:
Net loss$(2,122)$(772)
Denominator:

Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding11,00610,948
Loss per share - basic$(0.19)$(0.07)
Loss per share - diluted$(0.19)$(0.07)

The Company was in a loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and as such all awards were anti-dilutive. If the Company was not in a loss position, the calculation of diluted EPS would have included the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents of 188 thousand and 57 thousand, and would have excluded 164 thousand and 396 thousand antidilutive restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

  1. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options

The Company has granted non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and non-employee directors under the Amended and Restated 2012 Share Incentive Program (the “2012 Plan”). 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, 2026 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 corresponded 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, 2026 and 2025, the Company didnot grant stock options.

The following table is a summary of our stock option activity (in thousands, except per share data):

Outstanding at end of the period22$66.6822$66.68
Exercisable at end of the period22$66.6822$66.68

As of March 31, 2026, the weighted-average remaining contractual life for both the outstanding stock options and exercisable stock options was 1.9 years with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0. There wasno unrecognized compensation on the awards for the period ended March 31, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company receivedno cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value for stock options exercised was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Restricted Stock

The Company has issued restricted stock under the 2012 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,

Forfeited(22)19.10(1)54.78
Outstanding at end of the period866$17.32649$25.87

The Company withheld approximately 76 thousand shares and 27 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Market and Performance-based Share Awards

The Company has granted market and performance-based share awards in 2023 and 2025, and performance-based share awards in 2024 and 2026 under the 2012 Plan to certain key executives who were granted deferred shares and may earn between 0% and 210% of the target number depending upon both the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”), for those with market conditions, and the Company’s performance against predetermined performance goals over athree-year performance period after the date of grant. 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.

The total fair value of market and performance-based share awards issued during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.2 million. The Company withheld approximately 8 thousand shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the issuance of shares of market and performance-based share awards. No market and performance-based share awards were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of the market and performance-based share awards granted in March of 2022 not reaching the lower threshold of the predetermined performance goals.

Share-based compensation expense is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The total expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

  1. 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 ongoing 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):

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company hasone reportable segment: OPTAVIA. The segment derives revenues from clients through the sale of products which are shipped directly to clients. Our coaches help clients 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 OPTAVIA segment recognizes revenue when control of the products is transferred to the customer. The segment pays commissions on the sale of products to coaches. The Company derives all of its revenue from sales within the United States and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis.

The following table presents the OPTAVIA segment's revenue, significant segment expenses, and segment net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively:
