• Revenue of $45.6 million, an 8.5% increase
• Gross profit margin of 68.9%, a 70-basis point increase
• Net income of $19.6 million, representing net income margin of 43.1%, and basic earnings per share of $0.25, compared to net income of $0.5 million, representing net income margin of 1.2%, and basic earnings per share of $0.00
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $14.0 million, a 14.7% increase
• Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ of 30.8%, a 165-basis point increase

“During the third quarter, Biote generated continued growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting patient demand for our hormone optimization and wellness therapies,” said Terry Weber, Biote’s Chief Executive Officer. “Adjusted EBITDA margin remained strong, again demonstrating the profitability of our business even as we invested in building our capabilities and broadening our geographic reach.”

Ms. Weber continued, “During the quarter, we continued to advance our strategic priorities. We are pleased with the progress we have achieved in our commercial trials of complementary wellness therapeutics, including products for sexual health, weight loss and preventive wellness. Based on the positive initial response to our expanded wellness offerings, we believe a national roll-out of these products is likely to resonate strongly with both our patients and practitioners. In men’s health, we are addressing the unmet needs of this large and growing market by driving greater awareness within our existing practitioner network and by engaging with key opinion leaders in the field. As the preventative health market evolves, we believe Biote remains well-positioned for continued profitable growth given our leading presence, unparalleled operating experience and evidence-backed protocols that promote patient health and well-being.”

2023 Third Quarter Financial Review

(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior year period unless otherwise noted)

Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $45.6 million, an increase of 8.5% from $42.0 million for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in revenue was driven by procedure revenue growth of 7.4% and dietary supplement revenue growth of 5.1%. As expected, third quarter dietary supplement revenue growth moderated from the rate in the second quarter of 2023, reflecting the absence of a seasonal promotion for Biote practitioners.

Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2023 was 68.9% compared to 68.2% for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in gross profit margin reflected continued effective cost management.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $7.6 million, compared to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. Operating income in the third quarter of 2023 was essentially unchanged as growth in revenue and improved gross profit were offset by increased personnel and other expenses to build our infrastructure.

Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $19.6 million, representing a margin of 43.1%, and $0.25 per basic share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, representing a margin of 1.2%, and $0.00 per share, for the third quarter of 2022. Net income and net income margin for the third quarter of 2023 primarily reflected a $17.5 million gain due to a change in the fair value of the earnout liability. Net income and net income margin for the third quarter of 2022 were impacted by the net change in the fair value adjustments to the warrant and earnout liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $14.0 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.8%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $12.2 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.2% for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was due to growth in revenue and improved gross profit.¹

2023 Financial Outlook

“Biote remains committed to driving profitable growth through the consistent execution of our strategy. We reiterate our guidance that 2023 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA² will likely be toward the lower end of our guidance range,” concluded Ms. Weber.

($ in millions)	2023 Guidance Range
Revenue	$190-$200
Adjusted EBITDA	$56-$60

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, Biote has disclosed Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that it calculates as net income before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, litigation expenses, legal settlements, transaction-related expenses, merger and acquisition expenses, fair value adjustments to certain equity instruments classified as liabilities and other expenses. Below we have provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because it is a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and determine payments under compensation programs. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements of our assets;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by Biote’s management about which expenses are excluded or included. A reconciliation is provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of certain information needed to calculate reconciling items. For example, the Company has not included a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods presented in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company’s projected Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict including, but not limited to, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, due diligence expenses and legal expenses. Due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from projected Adjusted EBITDA in future periods, management does not forecast them for internal use and therefore cannot create a quantitative projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) reconciliation for the periods presented without unreasonable efforts. A quantitative reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented would imply a degree of precision and certainty as to these future items that does not exist and could be confusing to investors. From a qualitative perspective, it is anticipated that the differences between projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented will consist of items similar to those described in the financial tables later in this release, including, for example and without limitation, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, due diligence expenses and legal expenses. The timing and amount of any of these excluded items could significantly impact the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) for a particular period. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis.
