Current report
We generated $576.4 million in Online Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $308.6 million, or 115%, as compared to $267.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Growth in Online Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by: (i) new Subscriber growth pertaining to weight loss solutions launched in the fourth quarter of 2023 or later, including new Subscribers for compounded semaglutide glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (“GLP-1s”) offerings launched in the second quarter of 2024 for which there was no comparable revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024; and (ii) continued sustainable growth in Subscribers pertaining to offerings available in both periods, from whom we generated recurring revenue that was driven in part by ordinary-course marketing campaigns that continued to strengthen our mature offerings. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our GLP-1 offerings generated approximately $230 million in Online Revenue, a significant majority of which came from personalized doses. New Subscriber growth in our GLP-1 offering was driven by both ordinary-course marketing campaigns as well as a specialized marketing campaign as discussed further below. Certain aspects of our GLP-1 compounded offerings were permitted by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) based on shortages of branded GLP-1s, which were affected by regulatory decisions during the first quarter of 2025 as further described below. Excluding our GLP-1 offerings, the remaining Online Revenue of approximately $346 million during the period increased nearly 30% year-over-year as a result of new Subscriber growth. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we aired a Super Bowl marketing campaign highlighting specialized offerings on our platform and building brand awareness with consumers in order to normalize health and wellness challenges, which resulted in increased traffic to our platform.
Current report
Online Revenue can fluctuate on a period-to-period basis due to various factors, including launches of new product offerings, the success of our marketing campaigns, and pricing decisions impacting customer uptake of our offerings, as well as product availability and the regulatory landscape impacting our offerings. As described under Part II, Item 1A: “Risk Factors”, on February 21, 2025, the FDA resolved the semaglutide shortage, which has constrained and is expected to continue to constrain our ability to continue providing access to compounded semaglutide on our platform. The FDA does not limit compounding to drug shortages, and we believe there are paths to continue offering access to certain compounded GLP-1s after the period of FDA enforcement discretion has ended following resolution of the shortage, consistent with the statutory exemptions from the new drug approval requirements. As such, we intend to continue expanding our weight loss offerings and serving our Subscribers with a wide range of weight loss solutions.
Current report
Seasonality
Current report
Our weight loss specialty might drive new seasonality considerations for our business. Specifically, we expect individuals’ health and wellness-based New Year's resolutions to result in additional traffic to our platform and thus increase the number of Subscribers utilizing one of our weight loss offerings. This may result in higher Subscriber and Monthly Online Revenue per Average Subscriber growth in the first quarter compared to the remainder of the year.
Current report
In April 2025, as a result of a change of ownership, Apostrophe Pharmacy became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company and is no longer considered an Affiliated Pharmacy or a VIE.

The increase in operations and support was primarily driven by an increase in order fulfillment and transaction processing of $8.9 million, an increase in employee compensation (comprising salaries and wages, benefits, taxes, and performance bonuses, and excluding stock-based compensation) of $7.2 million, an increase in professional services of $4.0 million, and an increase in depreciation, amortization, and technology costs relating to operations and support functions of $2.6 million.

Provision for income taxes
Current report
Provision for income taxes was $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change was primarily due to taxes on current year income based on forecasted pretax income and associated taxes. Pretax income was higher during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Current report
In February 2025, we acquired via an asset purchase agreement, executed in December 2024, certain manufacturing assets from C S Bio Co. (the “Seller”), a company located in the United States, for total cash and Class A common stock consideration payable and issuable in connection with the closing of the transaction ofup to approximately$39.1 million. A maximum additional amount of$32.7 million in cash and Class A common stock consideration is payable to the Seller upon satisfying certain earn-out conditions, which is subject to a continued service condition by the Seller’s CEO, as defined in the asset purchase agreement. The cash payments are included within investing activities on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Current report
Additionally, in February 2025, we entered into a Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement with certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, which provides for a three-year senior secured revolving line of credit in an amount up to $175.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility includes letter of credit and swing line loan sub-limits of $40.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, and an accordion option, which, if exercised, would allow us to increase the aggregate commitment amount by up to $125.0 million, plus additional amounts if we are able to satisfy a leverage test and certain other conditions. As of March 31, 2025, we had no loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As such, $175.0 million remained available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025, we were not yet required to be in compliance with all covenants and conditions thereunder. Compliance will be required beginning in the second quarter of 2025. For additional details regarding the Revolving Credit Facility, see Note 13 – Revolving Credit Facility to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous report
We generated $392.6 million in Online Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $172.9 million, or 79%, as compared to $219.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We generated $967.2 million in Online Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $362.2 million, or 60%, as compared to $605.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Growth in Online Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by offerings launched after September 30, 2023, which led to growth in new Subscribers, Monthly Online Revenue per Average Subscriber, AOV, and Net Orders, along with continued growth in Subscribers pertaining to offerings available in all periods presented, from whom we generated recurring revenue.
Previous report
As a result of growth in Subscribers, we generated approximately 2.7 million Net Orders for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 20% as compared to approximately 2.2 million Net Orders for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We generated approximately 7.7 million Net Orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 20% as compared to approximately 6.4 million Net Orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, AOV was $147, an increase of 48% as compared to $99 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, AOV was $126, an increase of 33% as compared to $95 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. AOV growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by newer offerings introduced during the second quarter of 2024 as well as product mixes shifting towards longer duration Subscriptions.

Operations and support expenses were $47.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $31.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $15.9 million or 50%. The increase in operations and support was primarily driven by an increase in employee compensation (comprising salaries and wages, benefits, taxes, and performance bonuses and excluding stock-based compensation) of $5.4 million, an increase in order fulfillment, transaction processing, and selling costs of $4.1 million, an increase in professional services of $2.6 million, and an increase in depreciation, amortization, and technology costs relating to operations and support functions of $1.7 million.

Previous report
Other income was $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million. The decrease was driven primarily by an expense related to a one-time corporate matter. Other income was $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $0.8 million.

Benefit (provision) for income taxes
Previous report
Benefit for income taxes was $52.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Benefit for income taxes was $50.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These changes were primarily due to a release of $60.8 million of our valuation allowance on our domestic deferred tax assets during thethree months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by taxes on current year income. The release of the valuation allowance resulted in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets, a decrease to income tax expense, and a corresponding one-time increase to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we made cash payments for the earn-out payable for Honest Health Limited, which is now Hims & Hers UK Limited (“HHL”), totaling $6.0 million, with such payment amounts determined in fiscal year 2023 in accordance with the terms of the related acquisition agreement. The HHL earn-out payments totaling $6.0 million are recorded: (i) $2.8 million within operating activities; and (ii) $3.2 million within financing activities on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The total earn-out payment also included shares of our Class A common stock. No further earn-out payables are due under the HHL acquisition agreement.
Previous report
In September 2024, we satisfied all closing conditions of the executed purchase agreement to acquire all of the membership interests of Seaview Enterprises LLC (d/b/a MedisourceRx) (“MedisourceRx”), a 503B compounding outsourcing facility registered with the Food and Drug Administration and located in the United States, for total cash and stock consideration of approximately $31.0 million, including cash payments of $15.5 million and Class A common stock of $15.5 million. The cash payments, net of cash acquired, are included within investing activities on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Income Taxes
Previous report
We are required to assess whether it is more likely than not that we will realize our deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. If we believe that they are not more likely than not to be fully realizable before the expiration dates applicable to such assets, then to the extent we believe that recovery is not more likely than not, we must establish a valuation allowance.
Previous report
We evaluate our deferred tax assets for realizability considering both positive and negative evidence, including our historical financial performance, projections of future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and any carryback availability. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we estimate future taxable income based on management’s approved business plans. This process involves significant management judgment about assumptions that are subject to change from period to period based on changes in tax laws or variances between future projected operating performance and actual results. Changes in the net deferred tax assets, less offsetting valuation allowance, in a period are recorded through the income tax provision and could have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Previous report
As of September 30, 2024, we determined that a valuation allowance against our domestic deferred tax assets was no longer required, primarily due to sustained tax profitability (pre-tax earnings or loss adjusted by permanent book to tax differences) beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023 through the first nine months of 2024, which is objective and verifiable evidence, as well as anticipated future earnings. We believe it is now more likely than not that we will realize our domestic deferred tax assets.

“Subscribers” are customers who have one or more “Subscriptions” pursuant to which they have agreed to be automatically billed on a recurring basis at a defined cadence. The Subscription billing cadence is typically defined as a number of days (for example, billed every 30 days or every 90 days), which are excluded from our reporting when payment has not occurred at the contracted billing cadence. Subscribers can cancel Subscriptions in between billing periods to stop receiving additional products and/or services and can reactivate Subscriptions to continue receiving additional products and/or services.

We generated $9.0 million in Wholesale Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.9 million, or 28%, as compared to $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We generated $28.2 million in Wholesale Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $7.8 million, or 38% as compared to $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Wholesale Revenue can fluctuate on a period-to-period basis due to various factors, including delayed inventory purchases from our partners, seasonality trends, launches of new merchants and timing of specialized campaigns.
Current wording
We generated $9.6 million in Wholesale Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 7% as compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Wholesale Revenue can fluctuate on a period-to-period basis due to various factors, including timing of inventory purchases from our partners, seasonality trends, launches of new merchants, and timing of specialized campaigns. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no launches of material new merchants, notable factors impacting timing of inventory purchases, or material specialized campaigns impacting Wholesale Revenue trends. Top partners, comprising over 90% of Wholesale Revenue, remained consistent for both periods presented. As our presence in physical environments and on third-party platforms has matured and we have successfully built brand awareness with new customers in those environments, we do not anticipate launching new material partnerships in the foreseeable future or investing significantly in specialized wholesale marketing campaigns.
Previous wording
Subscribers grew 44% to approximately 2.0 million as of September 30, 2024 as compared to approximately 1.4 million Subscribers as of September 30, 2023. Growth in Subscribers was primarily driven by offerings launched after September 30, 2023, along with increased traffic to our platform (through our websites and mobile applications) as a result of our marketing activities and improved onsite and customer onboarding experiences. Monthly Online Revenue per Average Subscriber increased $13 to $67 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $54 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Monthly Online Revenue per Average Subscriber increased $5 to $60 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $55 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These increases were primarily due to newer offerings introduced during the second quarter of 2024 along with changes in product mix.
Current wording
Subscribers grew 38% to approximately 2.4 million as of March 31, 2025 as compared to approximately 1.7 million Subscribers as of March 31, 2024. Growth in Subscribers was primarily driven by increased traffic to our platform (through our websites and mobile applications) as a result of our marketing activities and improved onsite and customer onboarding experiences. Monthly Online Revenue per Average Subscriber increased $29 to $84 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $55 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to Subscriber uptake of our GLP-1 weight loss offering along with changes in product mix.

We continuously test and optimize the online experience and offerings to improve the customer experience, maximize sales, and improve gross margin. Our Subscribers (sometimes also referred to by us as “members”) select a cadence at which they wish to receive product shipments. In addition to a 30-day cadence, we offer Subscribers the ability to select from a range of Subscription shipment cadences, from every 60 days to 360 days, depending on the product. Subscriptions automatically renew on the applicable cadence selected by the Subscriber when purchasing or updating the Subscription. To ensure timely delivery of prescription medications and in accordance with our terms and conditions, Subscribers may sometimes be charged, and products may sometimes be shipped, earlier than their regularly scheduled cadence to accommodate holidays or for other operational reasons to support continuity of treatment. With the exception of prepaid offerings, the Subscriber is typically billed upon each shipment. Subscribers can cancel or pause Subscriptions in between billing periods to stop receiving additional products and can reactivate Subscriptions at any time. In addition, our customers can purchase product bundles or defined product kits, either consisting of non-prescription over-the-counter products or non-prescription products together with prescription medications, for a single all-inclusive price. The uptake of these offerings has resulted in higher gross profits and gross margins for our sales of products and services on our platform. For example, for longer term Subscriptions, we incur shipping and fulfillment expenses fewer times per year than for 30-day Subscriptions. The Subscriber uptake of longer term Subscriptions typically results in lower recurring costs and higher gross margins as compared to 30-day Subscriptions.

Our ability to attract new customers is a key factor for our future growth. To date, we have successfully acquired new customers through marketing and the development of our brands as well as through acquisitions. As a result, revenue has increased each year since our launch. If we are unable to acquire enough new customers in the future, revenue might decline. New customer acquisition could be negatively impacted if our marketing efforts are less effective in the future. Increases in advertising rates could also negatively impact our ability to acquire new customers. Consumer tastes, preferences, and sentiment for our brands may also change and result in decreased demand for our products and services. Changes in the legal or regulatory environment could also negatively impact our ability to acquire new customers, including changes to privacy, healthcare, or other laws that could impact customer acquisition costs.

Our ability to retain customers is a key factor in our ability to generate revenue. Most of our customers purchase products and services through subscription-based plans, where Subscribers are billed and sent products and/or receive services on a recurring basis. The recurring nature of this revenue provides us with a certain amount of predictability for future revenue if past Subscriber behavior stays relatively consistent in the future. While historically the consistent uptake by Subscribers of our offerings contributed to the stable and predictable nature of our Monthly Online Revenue per Average Subscriber, newer offerings from the second quarter of 2024 have led to increases in this metric, which may continue in the near future. We expect to retain a significant majority of revenue from Subscribers who maintain a Subscription for more than two years (sometimes referred to by us as “long-term revenue retention”). However, if customer behavior changes, or our assumptions regarding long-term revenue retention are incorrect and Subscriber retention decreases in the future, then future revenue will be negatively impacted. Macroeconomic factors including inflation or recessionary pressures may affect the ability of our Subscribers to continue to pay for our products and services, which may also impact the future results of our operations.

We expect to continue to focus on long-term growth. We intend to continue to invest in our manufacturing, fulfillment, and operating capabilities, including our Affiliated Pharmacies (as defined below) and warehousing facilities, with the goal of fulfilling nearly all of our pharmaceutical and over-the-counter customer orders through affiliated and internal fulfillment capabilities. For example, we are making investments in the expansion of our current facilities, which are expected to continue for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, we expect to continue to make significant investments in marketing to acquire new customers and we expect to continue to make investments in product offerings and customer experience.

Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the U.S. GAAP items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the number of orders we receive, the size of our customer base, the continuing market acceptance of telehealth, and the timing and extent of spend to support the expansion of sales, marketing, development activities, and our facilities, which may be impacted by inflationary, recessionary, supply chain, or other macroeconomic factors. We expect to continue to pursue opportunities to expand our manufacturing and internal fulfillment capabilities and may acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. From time to time, we order inventory with sufficient lead time in order to ensure our ability to fulfill customer demand for supply chain, seasonality, or other reasons, which may have an impact on our cash and cash equivalents in a given quarter. We may also use our cash and cash equivalents to repurchase up to $70.0 million of our Class A common stock through August 31, 2027 at management’s discretion pursuant to our 2024 Share Repurchase Program. We have based our estimate of our future capital requirements on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise or access additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed.
