“As we enter 2026, Medifast is moving from defining its business transformation strategy to executing on a new path to growth, leading to profitability as we become wholly focused on optimal metabolic health,” said Dan Chard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Medifast.
“In the fourth quarter, we saw coach productivity turn positive year-over-year for the first time since 2022, which has historically been a lead indicator of broader improvement. We also saw a significant increase in coach-led meetings, an indication our coach base is energized and dialed-in to the opportunities ahead. Our foundational work of the past two years has established a direction for future growth, and with these plans in place, we are reinstating annual guidance as we execute against the path we are on to become a metabolic health company.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
Fourth quarter 2025 revenue decreased 36.9% to $75.1 million from $119.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily driven by a decrease in the number of active earning coaches. The total number of active earning coaches decreased 40.6% to 16,100 compared to 27,100 for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in the number of active earning coaches was driven by continued pressure with client acquisition reflecting broader challenges in the operating environment, including rapid adoption of GLP-1 medications for weight loss. The average revenue per active earning coach was $4,664, compared to $4,391 for the fourth quarter last year, an increase of 6.2% which was driven by greater alignment of the company’s network of coaches, prioritizing productive coaches and efficient coach network structures.
Gross profit decreased 40.9% to $52.1 million from $88.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower revenue. The company’s gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 69.4% compared to 74.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the loss of leverage on fixed costs of 420 basis points and a one-time restructuring charge of 40 basis points.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased 31.5% to $59.9 million compared to $87.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to a $18.6 million decrease in coach compensation due to lower sales volumes and a decrease in the number of active earning coaches, a $5.8 million decrease in company-led marketing related expenses, and a $4.2 million decrease resulting from the realignment of the employee base to lower revenue levels, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase due to a one-time restructuring charge and a $1.6 million increase in coach events costs. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased 630 basis points year-over-year to 79.8% of revenue, as compared to 73.5% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to 370 basis points of loss of leverage on fixed costs, a 300 basis point increase for increased coach event costs, and a 250 basis point increase due to a one-time restructuring charge, partially offset by 440 basis points of reduced company-led marketing related expenses.
Loss from operations was $7.8 million compared to income from operations of $0.7 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, loss from operations was 10.4% for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to income from operations of 0.6% in the prior-year period due to the factors described above impacting revenue and SG&A expenses.
Other income increased 151.1% to $1.4 million from $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in other income was primarily due to unrealized losses on the investment in LifeMD common stock in the prior period. The company sold its investment in LifeMD during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The effective tax rate was negative 183.9% for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 37.3% in the prior-year period, primarily due to establishing a $12.1 million non-cash valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the current period.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, net loss was $18.1 million, or $1.65 loss per diluted share, based on approximately 11.0 million shares of common stock outstanding. In the fourth quarter of 2024, net income was $0.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, based on approximately 10.9 million shares of common stock outstanding. The $12.1 million non-cash valuation allowance represents $1.10 of current period loss on a per share basis.
Full Year Fiscal 2025 Results
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, revenue decreased 36.0% to $385.8 million compared to revenue of $602.5 million in 2024. Net loss for 2025 was $18.7 million, or $1.70 loss per diluted share, based on approximately 11.0 million shares outstanding. This compares to 2024 net income of $2.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, based on approximately 11.0 million shares outstanding. The $12.1 million non-cash valuation allowance represents $1.10 of current period loss on a per share basis.
Capital Allocation and Balance Sheet
The company’s balance sheet remains strong with cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities of $167.3 million and no interest-bearing debt as of December 31, 2025, compared to $162.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt at December 31, 2024. Working capital as defined as current assets less current liability as of December 31, 2025 was 158.7 million, compared to $150.2 million of working capital at December 31, 2024.

The company expects full year 2026 revenue to be in the range of $270 million to $300 million and full year 2026 loss per share to range from $1.55 to $2.75.
