PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

SUMMARY

Medifast, Inc. (“Medifast,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is the health and wellness company known for its habit-based and coach-guided lifestyle solution, OPTAVIA®. The Company is currently executing a comprehensive business transformation that will enable it to succeed in an environment that has been fundamentally impacted by rapid acceptance of GLP-1 weight loss medications.

We are a well-capitalized business with strong and effective leadership that has grown its lifestyle brand, OPTAVIA, into a significant health and wellness brand. We have a powerful business model, building a network of approximately 27,100 active earning coaches and impacting more than 3 million lives. Backed by more than 40 years of experience, clinically proven plans, innovative products, and a powerful integrated coach model, Medifast stands at the forefront of evidence-based wellness solutions. Our business model is differentiated and unique, a scalable coach-based approach that drives both program effectiveness and company growth. With the integration of access to clinicians through our collaboration with LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD) (“LifeMD”), we provide our customers access to GLP-1 weight loss medications, when clinically appropriate.

Medifast offers a simple, yet comprehensive approach to achieving optimal health and wellbeing. Our lifestyle program, OPTAVIA, empowers people to make lasting changes. Through the support of our independent OPTAVIA coaches, about 90% of whom were customers first, our customers are guided through every step of their wellness journey.

OPTAVIA's lifestyle plans deliver proven health benefits as well as evidence-based tools, including scientifically developed products and a framework for habit creation reinforced by independent coaches and community support. We continue to innovate and build upon our scientific and clinical heritage to fulfill our mission of offering Lifelong Transformation, Making a Healthy Lifestyle Second Nature™.

OPTAVIA coaches are people who are navigating weight loss at different moments in life, providing unparalleled coaching support along with community, nutrition, and healthy habits. In a world where health and wellbeing are often a difficult and solitary journey, OPTAVIA provides intensely personalized support to people who want to transform their health. This holistic approach empowers people to master their weight loss journey through each stage of life and gives them the freedom to do it on their terms. The lifestyle solution is designed for real life and built around four key components:

•Independent Coaches: Independent OPTAVIA coaches provide individualized support and guidance to customers on the path to optimal health and wellbeing.

•OPTAVIA Community: A community of like-minded people providing each other with real-time connection and support.

•The Habits of Health® Transformational System: A proprietary system that offers easy steps to a sustainable healthy lifestyle.

•Products & Plans: Clinically proven plans and scientifically developed products, backed by dietitians, scientists and physicians.

To ensure that Medifast continues to thrive as a health and wellness business in the rapidly evolving weight-loss market, we have developed distinct coach-supported program offerings tailored to meet the unique needs of three specific customer categories on their health and wellness journeys:

1.Those who have never used medications and want to use coach-supported habit-based programs as the core of their weight loss journey;

2.Individuals using GLP-1 medications as a core element of their weight loss program; and

3.People looking to manage weight loss and improved health when they come off GLP-1 medications for whatever reason, including cost, side effects, or any other cause.

For each of these customer categories, we are taking an intentional and methodical approach to building out our offerings to ensure that we can provide compelling products and services to new, former, and current coaches and clients, regardless of where they are on their personal health and wellness journeys.

Table of Contents

Usage of GLP-1 medications continue to accelerate, with research commissioned by Medifast suggesting that the GLP-1 support market alone could be worth $50 billion or more by 2030.1 For audiences looking for a GLP-1 based solution, we have built a collaboration with national virtual primary care provider, LifeMD. Eligible OPTAVIA customers have access to board-certified affiliated clinicians and medications, where appropriate, such as GLP-1 medications, that support treatment plans for obesity. We introduced a specific product line, OPTAVIA ASCEND™, to address these customer needs as discussed below. As of the fourth quarter of 2024, more than 95% of OPTAVIA coach leaders have completed specialized GLP-1 based training, and over 40% of active coaches are supporting at least one client on a GLP-1 medication. With the medication having been shown to be highly effective in conjunction with lifestyle changes, we believe there is strong compatibility with our experience of helping people achieve change through habit-based systems.

For those looking to manage weight loss after discontinuing medication usage, we have developed a specific product line, OPTAVIA ASCEND, to address these customer nutritional needs as discussed below. Recent research showed that about one-third of users quit taking the medication after six months, and that this can rise to half or more after a year.2 Furthermore, research also shows that two-thirds of weight lost on GLP-1 medications is typically regained within 12 months of stopping treatment, with cardiometabolic benefits often reversing as well.3

Finding new customers and reactivating former customers who do not wish to use medications remains an important area of focus for our business. Our OPTAVIA Fuelings and OPTAVIA ACTIVE® product line address the needs of these customers as discussed below. We also continue to work on enhancing our digital tools and improving the customer experience to help us achieve our goals in this area.

Regardless of need state, our integrated coach-supported, lifestyle-based approach helps customers achieve their health goals through a network of approximately 27,100 active earning independent OPTAVIA coaches, about 90% of whom were customers first. OPTAVIA coaches introduce customers to a set of healthy habits, in most cases starting with the habit of healthy eating, and offer exclusive OPTAVIA-branded products. OPTAVIA products and plans are one component that support the Company’s mission, and our portfolio of products help make it easier for customers to create healthy, sustainable habits in their lives.

In December 2024, Medifast introduced two science-backed nutrition plans designed specifically for people on GLP-1 medications and people seeking weight management: the GLP-1 Nutrition Support Plan and the Optimization Plan. Both plans feature OPTAVIA ASCEND, a new product line of high-protein, fiber-rich mini meals as well as a daily nutrient pack. The mini meals support muscle, digestive health and long-term wellness, filling a critical gap in the weight management market.

We believe our coach-based model is scalable and drives both customer success and growth, and we continue to work diligently to deliver growth and competitive advantage. Part of this work included the 2024 launch of new company-led marketing campaigns to drive brand awareness and to facilitate customer acquisition. With this being a competitive market, we’re finetuning our strategy in this area to yield the highest possible return on our investment.

In all cases, the OPTAVIA coaching model is heavily focused on the needs of the customer and helps put each customer into supportive and energized health and wellness communities that share their challenges and goals. OPTAVIA coaches provide highly tailored and personalized support to customers and motivate them by sharing their passion for healthy living and lifestyle transformation.

OPTAVIA coaches are central to everything that we do, helping to foster a continuous cycle of growth, and attracting and activating new customers, many of whom go on to become OPTAVIA coaches. We offer economic incentives designed to support each OPTAVIA coach’s long-term success, which we believe plays an important role in their financial wellness, providing the opportunity to improve their finances while changing the health trajectory of families, communities and generations.4

Table of Contents

OPTAVIA coaches are independent contractors, not employees, who support customers and market our products and services primarily through word of mouth, email, and via social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), and video conferencing platforms. As independent contractors, OPTAVIA coaches market our products to friends, family, and other people in their communities. OPTAVIA products are shipped directly to OPTAVIA customers. OPTAVIA coaches do not handle or deliver merchandise to customers. This arrangement frees our OPTAVIA coaches from having to manage inventory and allows them to maintain an arms-length transactional relationship while focusing their attention on support and encouragement.

The Company’s integrated approach that combines lifestyle coaching, community support, and access to medical solutions through LifeMD, positions the business to meet the needs of a broader spectrum of customers. By focusing on innovative products, enhanced customer experiences, and effective marketing strategies, Medifast has created and is continuing to enhance a differentiated and compelling offer. Its financial strength, operational flexibility, and customer-centric philosophy equip the Company to navigate the changing weight loss market and drive sustainable growth.

Our operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., OPTAVIA LLC, Jason Enterprises, Inc., Jason Properties, LLC, OPTAVIA (Hong Kong) Limited, and OPTAVIA Health Consultation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Certain global economic challenges, including the impact of inflation, have caused macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility in markets where we, our suppliers, and our OPTAVIA coaches operate.

Like many product-focused companies, we are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity or other raw material prices. An inflationary economy could impact our cost structure and put pressure on consumer spending. Increases in commodity prices or food costs, including as a result of inflation, could affect the global and U.S. economies and could also adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Our variable cost structure can be utilized to adapt to changing market conditions with potential actions including adjustments to our manufacturing, distribution, and customer support infrastructure. As a response, we may periodically take incremental pricing actions to offset supply chain costs and inflationary pressures.

In response to changing macroeconomic conditions, the Company may take further actions that alter its business operations as may be required by governmental authorities, or that are determined to be in the best interests of employees, OPTAVIA coaches and customers, and stockholders.

These macroeconomic uncertainties make it challenging for our management to estimate our future business performance. However, we intend to continue to actively monitor the impact of these developments on our business and will update our practices accordingly.

Competition

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 customers 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 customer 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 are another important element in overall tailored lifestyle plans that also include coaching, community support, nutritionally balanced meals, and exercise.

We believe we have a competitive advantage over traditional diet companies. The OPTAVIA model:

Table of Contents

•Offers a solution that focuses on holistic wellness; it views healthy weight as a catalyst to greater changes and has impacted more than 3 million lives.

•Provides personalized, empathetic support from coaches who have been in their customers’ shoes.

•Promotes lifelong habit development supported by a proprietary integrated approach to behavior change, the Habits of Health Transformational System.

•Encompasses a vibrant health and wellness community.

We also compete with other direct-selling organizations, some of which have a longer operating history and greater visibility, name recognition and financial resources than we do. We also believe we have advantages over traditional direct selling companies:

•OPTAVIA’s innovative model is customer-centric, with one sales price for both OPTAVIA coaches and customers. There is no tiered pricing.

•OPTAVIA boasts a health and wellness community, which promotes a holistic health and wellness program and is not focused solely on product sales.

•OPTAVIA offers a differentiated direct-to-consumer model, with 100% of products shipped directly to customers.

•The field promotes a unified Habits of Health training system that aligns its leaders around a common mission of Lifelong Transformation, Making a Healthy Lifestyle Second Nature.

We believe our scientific and clinical heritage combined with our commitment to evaluating programs, plans, and products through clinical research are primary differentiators that allow us to compete in these markets. Our scientifically designed products were originally developed by a physician, and we have been on the cutting edge in the development of nutrition and weight-management products since our founding.

Medifast has perfected our model over the last 40+ years, with habits, coaches, and community at the core, and we will continue to innovate as the industry evolves.

MARKETS

Health & Wellness Consumers

We develop and market products for consumers who want to lose weight and adopt a holistic approach to overall health and wellness. Obesity is defined as a Body Mass Index (“BMI”) of 30 kg/m2 or greater, whereas overweight is defined as a BMI ranging between 25 and 29.9 kg/m2. Nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults are classified as overweight or obese, and between August 2021 and August 2023 more than 40% were classified as obese5.

According to a proprietary analysis, the addressable market for weight loss is large and growing, estimated to be worth over $30 billion6. Additionally, roughly 75% of the U.S. population above the age of 18 wants to lose weight and is open to dieting, and approximately 70% of the overweight/obese population considers paid meal plans effective7. The total potential pool of OPTAVIA customers is sizable; there are about 200 million people in the United States looking to lose weight and willing to consider dieting8.

We offer customers an approach to health that is designed for real life, with weight loss and weight management serving as a catalyst for an overall improvement in health, confidence, vitality and general well-being.

Consumer Motivation

Our core customers are highly motivated to adopt a healthy lifestyle that is transformative and sustainable. Many have tried weight loss programs previously but have been unsuccessful at managing a healthy weight and embracing healthy habits for the long-term. Lifestyle issues our customers often seek to address and resolve include:

•physical limitations and chronic diseases linked to an unhealthy weight;

•the desire for more energy to meet physical demands and aspirations (e.g. work, parenting, sports and recreation);

•mental, emotional and psychological limitations caused by being at an unhealthy weight;

•the need for a convenient and simple, healthy lifestyle solution or program to address their health and wellbeing goals and accommodate demands on their time; and

•the need for a community of like-minded people for support to achieve their goals.

Experts agree that lifestyle changes remain foundational to long-term health and wellbeing, even for those utilizing weight loss medications. In fact, independent research commissioned by Medifast revealed 96% of people recognized that lifestyle changes are needed for weight loss and management, yet only 17% are confident they can manage on their own. Findings also showed most individuals interested in weight loss medications are looking for support beyond prescriptions, including clarity on how to incorporate components of healthy living, such as proper nutrition and exercise, into their lifestyles while utilizing these medical solutions9.

Direct Sellers

Our business model combines the most powerful aspects of direct selling, while eliminating those dimensions that have typically challenged other companies. Our growth does not depend on recruiting thousands of distributors who take on inventory to sell to customers. Rather, OPTAVIA coaches help customers adopt healthy habits and learn the benefits of OPTAVIA products, which are shipped directly to customers. The more OPTAVIA coaches we have, the more customers we can serve. We are often compared to diet and weight loss-only companies or to multi-level marketing companies, but our model is different. We support customers through independent OPTAVIA coaches, about 90% of whom were customers first.

Our competitive advantages:

•OPTAVIA’s innovative model is customer-centric and has one sales price for both OPTAVIA coaches and customers. There is no tiered pricing.

•OPTAVIA coaches focus on coaching and supporting customers. They do not hold inventory or manage cash.

•OPTAVIA boasts an energized health and wellness community, where about 90% of coaches come from the customer base and have been in their customers’ shoes. They promote a holistic wellness program and are not exclusively focused on product sales. Our competitive OPTAVIA coach compensation plan is also deliberately structured to incentivize coaching and support customer success.

•The field promotes a unified training system that aligns its leaders around a common mission.

OPTAVIA offers an entrepreneurial opportunity that allows coaches:

•to start, manage and grow their own business with minimal upfront capital investment;

•the ability to earn supplemental income;

•the ability to enjoy a work-life balance;

•the opportunity to market products they believe in; and

•the opportunity to complement other business pursuits.

Geographies

The U.S. market continues to represent significant potential for growth given the high percentage of overweight or clinically obese adults, where nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults are classified as overweight or obese, and between August 2021 and August 2023 more than 40% were classified as obese10.

Industry growth is also being driven by growing consumer awareness and increasing demand for health and wellness products. The intensified interest in physical fitness, fitness center membership, increased public awareness and incidences of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain types of cancer, stroke, arthritis, sleep apnea, and depression have increased demand for health and wellness products. With its recent expansion into medically supported weight loss through its collaboration with LifeMD, Medifast can support even more customers on their health and wellness journeys.

OPTAVIA coaches are focused on word of mouth and social media marketing toward increasingly younger demographics, reaching out to important and increasingly diverse communities of health and wellness consumers, and identifying and marketing to consumers who are in varying stages of optimal well-being. In addition, the Company is investing in technology and growth initiatives intended to improve customer acquisition and customer experience.

In addition to our collaboration with LifeMD and new program introductions, we know there are new initiatives, markets, and communities where we have opportunities for growth in the U.S. With this in mind, we will continue to invest in important growth initiatives, particularly as we explore the ways in which we can expand our business in domestic markets we serve and deliver a high-quality experience for more customers.

Our model, programs, and products resonate with broad swathes of consumers regardless of geography or demographic. As such, we will continue working in collaboration with coaches across all key markets to reach and acquire new customers, as well as reactivate lapsed customers, as we look to further our impact and advance the global health movement.

Products and Programs

We take pride in our scientific heritage. We have authored over 73 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts and publications, 36 scientific journal publications and 28 completed research studies. Most prominently, we conducted a double-blind study that shows the effects that coaching has on the OPTAVIA program; the results suggested that speaking with their OPTAVIA coach more often may help customers lose up to twice as much weight.11 In 2025, we expect to initiate studies evaluating the outcomes for customers using OPTAVIA programs alongside GLP-1 medications as well as those looking for help in long-term weight management, while also focusing on areas such as lean muscle retention.

Our clinically proven plans and our scientifically designed products were developed by physicians and dietitians, and have impacted more than 3 million lives and been recommended by thousands of healthcare providers. We work closely with our cross-disciplinary Scientific Advisory Board comprised of physicians and scientists who help guide and provide valuable input into the development of our comprehensive portfolio of offerings.

Our OPTAVIA coaching model offers the personal support of an OPTAVIA coach, who is often a person who has achieved success with OPTAVIA and has turned their success into a business opportunity. The majority of our OPTAVIA coaches began as customers and became OPTAVIA coaches for a number of reasons, including to pay it forward and help others through their own transformation journey.

Customers’ success is enhanced by the personal attention, accountability, education, advice, and motivation they receive from our OPTAVIA coaches. They also benefit from being members of a broader OPTAVIA community of customers with like-minded goals and objectives regarding their health. We offer customers incentives to join the OPTAVIA community, including access to the corporate “Nutrition Support” team made up of subject matter experts that provide assistance to our coaches and customers, and exclusive offers through OPTAVIA Premier, our auto-ship service that helps our customers stay on plan, as well as qualifies them for discounts on purchased products and free or discounted shipping. OPTAVIA is known for its habit-based and coach-guided lifestyle approach to address weight loss and is backed by the long-standing scientific and clinical heritage of its parent company, Medifast. The OPTAVIA brand has impacted more than 3 million lives with a simple yet comprehensive solution that gives every customer access to: 

•A personal (human, not AI) coach who has been in their shoes (about 90% were clients first)

•A community of others on similar journeys 

•Healthy habit blueprint 

•Tailored nutrition plans

•Nutrient-dense products 

•A mobile app with hundreds of healthy recipes, habit trackers and other tools all in one place 

OPTAVIA offers a range of nutrition plans tailored to help customers achieve their unique goals. Each plan is evidence-based backed by a cross-disciplinary group of dietitians, scientists, clinical researchers and other industry experts and is built around two key nutritional pillars:

•Pre-portioned, nutrient-dense products designed for convenience and balance, and

•Simple, self-prepared recipes featuring whole, healthy ingredients.

The plans the company markets to customers include:

•Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan® & Optimal Weight 5 & 1 ACTIVE Plan®. Our proven Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan encourages customers to eat six small meals a day, an important habit that helps customers maintain healthy weight. Five daily meals are OPTAVIA Fuelings, offering customers a choice from more than 45 delicious, convenient, nutritionally interchangeable, scientifically-designed products, including shakes, soups, bars, hot beverages, hearty choices, pudding and brownies. OPTAVIA coaches guide their customers on which Fuelings to select, and on how to develop healthy habits, such as preparing lean and green meals and choosing healthy snacks. For the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Active Plan, we recommend up to 45 minutes of low to medium intensity exercise most days of the week and two servings of OPTAVIA ACTIVE EAA Blend to support muscle health and post workout recovery.

•Optimal Weight 4 & 2 & 1 Plan® & Optimal Weight 4 & 2 ACTIVE Plan®. The Optimal Weight 4 & 2 & 1 Plan is designed for customers who want to continue eating all food groups or want a flexible meal plan to help them achieve a healthy weight. Under this plan, OPTAVIA coaches guide their customers to eat four meals of OPTAVIA Fuelings and prepare two lean and green meals and one healthy snack themselves. For the Optimal Weight 4 & 2 Active Plan, we recommend up to 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week and two servings of OPTAVIA Active EAA Blend to support muscle health and post workout recovery.

•OPTAVIA Optimization Plan. The Optimization Plan is a personalized approach to help customers’ long-term weight management. The plan builds on the principles that led to customers’ weight loss success, combining lifestyle strategies, balanced nutrition, exercise guidance, and ongoing coach support to help customers stay at their goal weight and enjoy life to the fullest. This plan equips customers with the tools to confidently help them keep the weight off. Under this plan, OPTAVIA coaches guide their customers to eat two OPTAVIA ASCEND mini meals, two Lean & Green+ meals, two or more healthy exchanges (food options around 100 calories and 15 grams of carbs or less) based on the customers energy level, and one multivitamin & mineral and omega-3 supplement from the OPTAVIA ASCEND daily nutrient pack.

•OPTAVIA GLP-1 Nutrition Support Plan: The perfect nutritional companion to GLP-1 medications, allowing customers to focus on their weight loss without the stress of figuring out what to eat. The new GLP-1 Nutrition Support Plan combines the effectiveness of the medication with balanced nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help customers lose weight, preserve lean muscle and support energy levels throughout their weight loss journey and into optimization. Under this plan, OPTAVIA coaches guide their customers to eat three OPTAVIA ASCEND mini meals, one Lean & Green+ meal, and one multivitamin & mineral and omega-3 supplement from the OPTAVIA ASCEND daily nutrient pack.

No matter what plan a customer is on, they can learn healthy habits through the Habits of Health Transformational System, which is a crucial tool for customer success and provides the foundation for our community to learn and adopt healthy habits. The Habits of Health Transformational System is an innovative, mind and body lifestyle approach that encourages and educates customers to replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones that contribute to their long-term success.

Incentives

From time to time we offer economic incentives designed to support each OPTAVIA coach’s and customer’s success. We believe our business is most successful when our coaches can maintain a continuous cycle of growth: coaches activate new and successful customers, many of whom go on to become OPTAVIA coaches themselves, who activate new customers, and so on. Once a coach has successfully attracted a new customer, the coach uses personalized coaching and effective digital tools to drive engagement.

Customer acquisition is important to our growth as customer cohorts utilizing the OPTAVIA program today form future coach cohorts, which in turn drive optimization of the customer and coach tenure mix and the associated improvements in efficiency and productivity. Optimizing incentivization and compensation remains important to drive growth, retention, and engagement. We are investing substantial time and resources in carefully learning from our existing and prospective customers, listening to what our coaches are hearing and finding efficient solutions to challenges, along with building programs that deliver connection, engagement and retention. We are consistently adapting and focusing our efforts on where we believe they will have the most impact.

Customers

Sales are made to individual customers. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Seasonality

Demand for weight management products and programs throughout the industry are typically seasonal. Traditionally, the predisposition of customers refraining from initiating weight loss or management programs during the holiday season typically impacts the fourth quarter with fewer sales of weight management products and services during these months. January and February generally show sequential increases in sales, as these months are considered the commencement of the “diet season” and "resolution season." We believe, however, that our sales pattern does not necessarily follow the seasonality of our industry, but rather is predicated on the growth or contraction of our OPTAVIA coach network.

Scientific Advisory Board

Our Scientific Advisory Board consists of six multi-disciplinary, internationally recognized scientific experts who provide objective insights to guide the Company in making informed decisions based on the latest scientific developments in health and wellness and serve as the foundation for scientifically-valid, evidence-based, customer-centric, high-quality innovations by the Company for lasting health. Its mission is to help guide us in making informed decisions regarding medical, nutritional, food service, and scientific matters by providing expertise and information on research and emerging trends. The cross-disciplinary panel was established in 2008 in service of the Company's commitment to providing an evidence-based, safe and effective health and wellness program that meets consumer needs.

The work of this cross-disciplinary group builds on our scientific heritage and incorporates leading-edge clinical research into the development of our products, plans and programs.

Marketing

We continue to develop the OPTAVIA brand through comprehensive marketing strategies that reflect the changing dynamics of the weight loss and wellness markets. Customer acquisition and retention efforts are designed to attract new customers by emphasizing OPTAVIA’s holistic and effective solutions, including its ability to support those pursuing traditional weight loss through healthy lifestyle changes, individuals using GLP-1 medications, and those transitioning off such medications. Our coaches are the key component of our marketing efforts and serve as important advocates of our plans and products. We have a history of launching new products and plans to our coach network first to ensure that we have support from the OPTAVIA community. In turn, our coaches better understand our products and their benefits and can best meet customers where they are in their weight loss journey. It is integral to our business that this coach network has the tools to effectively lead our marking approach. To support this, we are focused on scaling best practices from high-performing teams and leveraging new coach education resources, aimed at driving sustained improvements in new customer acquisition across the network. To supplement our coach-driven efforts, we introduced a significant Company-led marketing campaign in 2024 to increase brand awareness and drive customer adoption. The campaign integrates digital and traditional channels to reach new audiences and deepen engagement with existing ones, including initiatives to reactivate former customers and empower OPTAVIA coaches. These efforts are aimed at expanding customer acquisition channels and demonstrating the value of holistic, medically-supported weight loss programs. The Company incurred approximately $22.9 million in company led marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Manufacturing

Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary with a manufacturing facility in Owings Mills, Maryland, manufactures our products, and accounts for approximately 40% of our total unit sales. We purchased the facility in July 2002. Our Owings Mills manufacturing facility is regulated and inspected by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”), the Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and Office of Food Protection. It is certified by the Safe Qualified Food Institute as a Safe Quality Food Program Level 2 facility compliant with the Global Food Safety Initiative, a global non-profit collaboration to advance food safety. The products underlying the remaining 60% of our total unit sales are manufactured by co-manufacturers in accordance with Medifast proprietary formulas and manufacturing standards.

Governmental Regulation

We are subject to extensive federal, state, and local government laws and regulations, including those relating to the preparation and sale of food and beverages, in the jurisdictions in which we operate, own, and lease properties, and market our offerings, including the OPTAVIA program, products, and other aspects of our business. We are also subject to laws governing our relationships with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working conditions, hiring and firing, non-discrimination for disabilities and other protected characteristics, work permits, and benefit offerings. Further, we are subject to laws governing our relationships with our independent contractor OPTAVIA coaches. To date, compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection regulations has not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

In this section, we describe the regulations that are applicable to our business.

Direct Selling Regulations

Direct selling is regulated by various national, state and local government agencies in the United States. The direct selling industry is also under regular scrutiny by certain non-profit organizations and the Direct Selling Self-Regulatory Council, which is one of the Better Business Bureau's National Programs. These entities identify perceived violations of laws and regulations by direct sellers in an effort to force companies to change their practices. If companies do not voluntarily modify practices identified by these reviewing entities, they may report the perceived violations to law enforcement agencies.

Laws and regulations related to direct selling companies are generally intended to prevent fraudulent or deceptive schemes, including “pyramid” schemes, which compensate participants primarily for recruiting additional participants without significant emphasis on product sales to consumers. The laws and regulations governing direct selling may be modified or reinterpreted from time to time, which may cause us to modify our sales compensation and business models. In almost all of our domestic markets, regulations are subject to discretionary interpretation by regulators and judicial authorities. There is often ambiguity and uncertainty with respect to the state of direct selling and anti-pyramid laws and regulations. In the United States, for example, federal law provides the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), broad latitude in policing unfair or deceptive trade practices, but does not provide a bright-line test for identifying a pyramid scheme. Several states have passed legislation that more clearly distinguishes between illegal pyramid schemes and legitimate multi-level marketing (“MLM”) business models.

Table of Contents

Settlements between the FTC and other direct selling companies and guidance from the FTC have addressed inappropriate earnings and lifestyle claims and the importance of focusing on consumer sales. That said, the FTC's enforcement efforts have created a level of ambiguity as to the proper interpretation of the law and related court decisions. For example, in 2016, the FTC entered into a settlement with another direct selling/multi-level marketing company, requiring the company to modify its business model, including basing sales compensation and qualification only on sales to retail and preferred customers and on purchases by a distributor for personal consumption within allowable limits.

Similarly, in 2019, the FTC took aggressive actions against another direct selling/multi-level marketing company, alleging that the company operated an illegal pyramid scheme that deceived consumers into believing that they could earn significant income as distributors of its health and wellness products. The company eventually entered into a consent order with the FTC, pursuant to which the company was permanently prohibited from using a multi-level compensation plan in the United States. Although these settlements do not represent judicial precedent or new FTC rules, the FTC has indicated that the industry should look at these settlements, and the principles underlying their specific measures, for guidance. If the requirements in these settlements lead to new industry standards or new rules, our business could be impacted, and we may need to amend our compensation plan.

Additionally, in 2023 the FTC updated its nonbinding Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (“Endorsement Guides”) which explain what endorsement practices the FTC views as being unfair or deceptive acts or practices. The 2023 update was the first revision to the Endorsement Guides since 2009; it clarified the FTC's views on several issues, including the meaning of "clear and conspicuous" the definition of "endorsement," and how different types of reviews of products should be treated. Under the current Endorsement Guides, advertisements that feature a consumer and convey his or her atypical experience with a product or service are required to clearly disclose the typical results that consumers can generally expect. OPTAVIA has adapted its rules regarding the practices of its coaches in order to comply with the current Endorsement Guides, but we cannot be sure that the FTC will not challenge our advertising or other operations in the future.

In 2024, the FTC amended its nonbinding Business Guidance Concerning Multi-Level Marketing (“MLM Guidance”), which was originally released in 2018. The MLM Guidance explains, among other things, the FTC’s views concerning lawful and unlawful compensation structures, whether personal consumption by participants can be used in determining an MLM organization’s compensation structure, and how an MLM organization should approach representations to current and prospective participants. We believe our current business practices comply with the MLM Guidance. If the FTC withdraws the guidance or chooses to enforce the relevant laws in a manner inconsistent with the guidance, our business could be impacted, and we may need to amend our compensation plan.

In 2024, the FTC issued a Report on Multi-Level Marketing Income Disclosures (“IDS Report”), which outlined findings from the FTC Staff’s review of the public income disclosure statements of seventy different multi-level marketing companies, including OPTAVIA. According to the IDS Report, FTC staff found a number of issues with the reviewed statements, including that most omitted key information, did not include all participants, and did not identify expenses faced by participants. The IDS Report does not indicate that the FTC is investigating any of the companies or plans to bring actions against them. While OPTAVIA believes its practices with regard to its income disclosure statement comply with current laws, we cannot be sure that the FTC will not investigate and potentially challenge our income disclosure practices in the future.

Finally, the FTC is currently considering certain legal and regulatory changes that, if implemented, could impact our business. For example, in early 2025 the FTC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for a proposed rule concerning deceptive earnings claims made by MLM organizations that would further regulate how MLM organizations describe certain aspects of their businesses. The FTC concurrently issued an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding earnings claims made by the multi-level marketing rule. The ANPR asks for public comments on whether a new rule should regulate MLM organizations’ statements concerning benefits, expenses and refund claims as well as MLM’s use of non-disparagement clauses. If the FTC issues an earnings claim rule targeted specifically at MLM organizations, our business could be impacted, and we may need to change our current practices. While OPTAVIA has taken steps to educate our employees and coaches on proper earnings claims, if an employee or coach makes improper claims or if regulators issue new rules or change current guidance or determine we (or our coaches) are making any improper claims, this could lead to an FTC investigation and could harm our business.

The FTC is also currently reviewing the Business Opportunity Rule, which requires business opportunity sellers to give prospective buyers specific information to help them evaluate a business opportunity or work-at-home program. While direct sellers are currently exempt from the Business Opportunity Rule and the FTC’s early 2025 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking related to Business Opportunity Rules would preserve that exemption, the FTC could include direct sellers within the scope of the rule as a result of the review. If direct sellers become subject to the rule, we will have to comply with the rule, which could impact our business and cause us to modify how we currently operate.

Table of Contents

We continue to monitor developments to assess whether we should make any changes to our business or compensation plan. If we are required to make changes or if the FTC changes current guidance, either through rulemaking or an enforcement action against our Company, our business could be harmed.

Environmental Regulations

We are not aware of any instance in which we have contravened federal, state, or local laws relating to protection of the environment or in which we otherwise may be subject to liability for environmental conditions that could materially affect operations.

Other Regulations

A number of laws and regulations govern our advertising and marketing, services, products, operations and relations with consumers, other service providers and government authorities in the countries in which we operate.

The formulation, processing, packaging, labeling, marketing, advertising, and selling of the Company’s products is subject to regulation by federal, state and local agencies. Products must comply with the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Food Safety Modernization Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, State Consumer Protection laws and several other federal, state and local statutes and regulations applicable in localities in which the Company products are made or are sold.

The FDA, USDA and state and local health departments are the major agencies whose regulatory mission is to assure that products are made using approved ingredients, labeling, manufacturing procedures and testing to ensure that safe quality products are delivered to consumers.

Laws and regulations directly applicable to data protection and communications, operations or commerce over the Internet, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy and taxation, continue to evolve. Our operations are subject to these laws and regulations, and we continue to monitor their development and our compliance. In addition, we are subject to other laws and regulations in the United States.

The FTC has principal regulatory authority over the Company’s advertising and trade practices, its enforcement powers are aimed at protecting the consumer from being deceived by unfair marketing and trading practices.

During the mid-1990s, the FTC filed complaints against a number of commercial weight management providers alleging violations of federal law in connection with the use of advertisements that featured testimonial claims for program success and program costs. In 2012, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a consent decree with the FTC regarding certain statements included in the advertising for the Company’s weight-loss programs. The consent decree requires us to comply with certain procedures and disclosures in connection with our advertisements of products and services.

If our collaboration and relationship with LifeMD grows, in the future, we may become subject to the same government regulators that regulate LifeMD’s business operations. These include federal and state healthcare regulatory laws which include, but are not limited to, federal and state anti-kickback, false claims, and other healthcare fraud and abuse laws. For additional information, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Product Liability and Insurance

The Company, like other producers and distributors of ingested products, faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that, among other things, the use of its products results in injury or death. The Company maintains insurance against product liability claims with respect to the products it manufactures. With respect to the retail and direct marketing and distribution of products produced by others, the Company’s principal form of insurance consists of arrangements with each of its suppliers of those products to name the Company a covered entity under each of such vendor’s product liability insurance policies. The Company does not buy products from suppliers who do not maintain such coverage.

Working Capital Practices

We maintain sufficient amounts of inventory in stock in order to provide a high level of service to our customers. Substantial inventories are required to meet the needs of our dual role as manufacturer and distributor.

Human Capital Management

At Medifast, we actively foster an organizational culture centered on strong cross-functional relationships and collaborating as one team to support our customers in their health and wellness journey. We are focused on attracting and retaining top talent who are eager to participate in our mission.

Our Total Rewards Program is intended to deliver competitive compensation and benefits that align with our company mission and values. Annually, we review our market reference ranges and pay to ensure we remain competitive, consistent, and equitable. Our variable pay targets are performance based and tied to organizational results. As of December 31, 2024, we employed 504 team members, all employed in the United States, of whom 229 were engaged in manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain support, and 275 in marketing, administrative, and corporate support functions. None of our team members are subject to a collective bargaining agreement with the Company.

In 2024, we continued our business transformation and began executing plans to enable stability and growth. We continued to strengthen our foundation – our community of independent coaches and corporate team members working hand-in-hand — leveraging our habit-based and coach-guided tailored plans to support customers in Lifelong Transformation, Making a Healthy Lifestyle Second Nature. During 2024, we reinforced the significance of transparent communication and clear goal alignment to motivate and engage our team members throughout the transformation. Additionally, we emphasized the importance of navigating change in a challenging business environment, empowering team members to learn, test, and adapt new approaches as they execute against our strategic initiatives. For select senior leaders highly engaged in leading our transformation initiatives, we provided change planning and resilience training and coaching to ensure they could confidently lead their teams as they navigate the changing business landscape.

Teaming and Partnership continue to be critical core values. We believe our ability to effectively collaborate with each other as we partner with our Field community is essential for driving increased momentum throughout this transformation. Together, we are building relationships of trust, nurturing a caring and empathetic environment, and prioritizing the mental and physical wellbeing of our people. We continually seek new ways to evolve how we work and we each other grow, by investing in training, encouraging feedback and embracing challenges along the way.

We have several resources and tools that help us nurture a “One Team” mindset centered around strong cross-functional teaming and partnering. Our north star is our Culture Compass that helps us understand the behaviors, values, and ways of working that define our culture today by identifying gaps, areas of growth, and where we need to adjust in order to deliver on our strategy more effectively. Our Culture Contract lays out the explicit behaviors that underlie our core values. It details the commitments we make to one another and the commitments we make as a company to ensure an excellent work experience for all our team members. Our Culture Contract Toolkit is a companion piece that provides many tools to help improve in forming bonds, establishing healthy work/life balance, inclusive leadership, and much more. In alignment with nurturing our culture and reinforcing communication, we launched several new Slack® channels in 2024. Medifast in Motion gives team members a place to share on their health & wellness journeys and the activities they are doing to practice the Habit of Healthy of Motion, whether with their families or their work colleagues. Our Optimal Impact channel gives team members a place to share volunteer activities in which they are participating in either personally or with their work teams, and about community organizations that are important to them. Additionally, we supported several volunteer opportunities aligned with our Healthy Habits For All initiative and amended our volunteer time-off policies to give team members up to 16 paid hours per calendar year to volunteer their time in their community.

Ensuring our organization is united by our values and one team, one mission mindset remains a top priority - helping us stay aligned as we grow and enabling us to prioritize our work, plan for the future, and harness our combined energy to accomplish our company objectives. Our culture narrative is fully embedded in our core human capital processes to ensure our team members understand how their success translates to the success of the greater team and ultimately to an amazing coach and customer experience. Each year we host a program called Coach Encounters, which gives our team members an opportunity to hear directly from our inspiring coaches about their personal journeys as well as how our company supports their work in seeking positive health outcomes for our customers. In 2024, we were once again recognized by U.S. News & Reports as a Best Place to Work in the Food & Drink Industry, a reflection of the work we have done to nurture our culture and support a strong employee experience.

As we have noted, this year more than ever, building transparency and developing communication channels that allow us to cascade information and connect our teams are critical to supporting our people strategy. We leverage our Workplace by Meta platform to connect, collaborate and ignite conversations around topics that matter to us, like wellness. We also have a weekly Pulse newsletter to ensure important initiatives and events are communicated in a timely matter. We continued our quarterly

Table of Contents

video series from our Chairman & CEO, Dan Chard, to ensure team members hear directly from him about Company performance and progress on key initiatives. In 2024, we added monthly business transformation update posts from Dan Chard in our All-Company Slack channel. Ensuring that our team members hear directly from Dan Chard has been critical to them understanding the progress we are making and how their work fits into the bigger picture.

Recognition remains a key component of our culture. Our #AcedIt program provides team members with a platform to recognize excellent work that supports our business strategy, applauds behaviors that reinforce our cultural values, and fosters a sense of gratitude which are all key components in nurturing strong relationships and building tight-knit communities. #AcedIt allows for both social and point-based recognition and celebrates team members for achieving important milestones in service. We see very strong participation in our #Acedit program with a 93% activation rate and 65% actively using the tool on a monthly basis. Our #AcedIt platform also supports our wellness program, LiveWell, to incentivize greater focus on our team members’ health and wellness. In 2024, we saw strong engagement with LiveWell with over 85% of employees leveraging the tool.

Diversity is one of Medifast’s Core Values. As an organization, we are committed to generating an open dialog with our team members and building a more inclusive work environment that enables all our team members to have a voice. In 2024, we conducted two cycles of our listening initiative, The Loop, which promotes communication transparency, empowers our team leaders to review their employee engagement results and facilitates candid conversations to shape and improve the work experience. In 2024, we added transformation questions, to measure how our team members are experiencing our business evolution and what more we can do to support their success and help them adapt to the changing work demands. We also hosted our annual Culture Week to celebrate the differences that make our community special, which include activities such as a cooking contest and a special Culture Club event to bring team members together.

Nurturing growth and learning are also key elements of our culture. We have a robust technology platform that supports our team members and leaders as they have performance and development conversations each quarter. On demand and 360-feedback are features that launched in 2023 and give us the opportunity to improve our communal ability in giving and receiving feedback. In 2024, we were excited to integrate performance ratings to our PEAK (Performance Management Initiative) process, giving leaders another tool to reinforce accountability, another important core value for our company. Through our learning management system, Optimal Learning, team members have access to online courses such as a Culture Journey learning path to further integrate an understanding of our culture for new team members. Within our supply chain, we have continued our Level Up shadow program, which creates opportunities for our supply chain team members to be cross trained in other areas of the supply chain and learn new skills. This program fosters greater sponsorship of junior talent and an increase of internal mobility. In 2024, we rolled out our Level Up Skills Vault throughout the company. We encouraged team members to use this repository to showcase the skills and strengths that may be leveraged internally for future projects as well as indicate the skills they would like to build muscle around. In 2025, we plan to offer more programming to support increased adoption of the Skills Vault and opportunities for job experimentation. Lastly, in support of nurturing a strong senior leadership team we rolled-out a new senior leader standards guidebook in 2024, which describes skills, competencies, experiences, and internal processes that our senior leaders need to develop as they advance at our company. We also developed a set of norms and behaviors to ensure our senior leaders are showing up in ways that reinforce our culture and promote the ways of working and relationship building that we believe is fundamental to a strong community.

Wellness is not just what we do, it’s who we are, and our commitment to being a best-in-class wellness company starts with providing team members equal access to all our programs and products. Our Employees on Plan program allows our team members to experience the support of a coach, as they tackle their own weight loss journey. Our Wellness Committee oversees a host of programming throughout the year to integrate healthy habits into the lives of our team members, such as incentives through LiveWell, for taking on a step challenge, doing a biometric screening or attending a wellness event among other activities. In 2024, to further support the Healthy Habit of Motion, we launched a new Motion Masters Dance Challenge to encourage team members to adopt a fun way to get their steps in. In 2024, we won the highest-level Well Workplace Award, Platinum, from the Wellness Council of America, as well as the 2024 Gold Workplace Well-being Award for Making a Difference from Aetna, and was recognized at the Exemplar level by Healthiest Maryland Businesses.

In addition to our team members, our Human Capital also includes our independent contractor OPTAVIA coaches. They support our customers and market our products and services primarily through word of mouth, email and via social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, X, and video conferencing platforms. The more OPTAVIA coaches we have, the more customers we can serve. The total number of active earning OPTAVIA coaches as of December 31, 2024 was 27,100.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the following risks and uncertainties when reading this Report. If any of the events described below actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks and uncertainties. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Risks Related to Our Business

The weight management industry is highly competitive and the development and acceptance of weight-loss medicines and other products could result in decreased demand for our services and products.

Competition is intense in the weight management industry and we must remain competitive in the areas of program efficacy, price, taste, customer service and brand recognition. Our competitors include companies selling weight loss medications, pharmaceutical products and weight loss programs, digital tools, app-based health and wellness monitoring solutions and

Table of Contents

wearable trackers, as well as a wide variety of diet foods and meal replacement bars and shakes, appetite suppressants and nutritional supplements. Some of our competitors are significantly larger than we are and have substantially greater resources. Any increased competition from new entrants into our industry or any increased success by existing competition could result in reductions in our sales or prices, or both, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Additionally, the entrance into the market and growing acceptance of the favorably perceived and easier to use weight loss medications, such as GLP-1s, has reduced and may further reduce demand for our services and products.

Deterioration of economic conditions, an economic recession or slow growth, periods of inflation or economic uncertainty, could continue to adversely affect consumer spending as well as demand for our products.

General global economic downturns and macroeconomic trends, including the possibility of heightened inflation, capital market volatility, interest rate and currency rate fluctuations, and economic slowdown or recession, may result in unfavorable conditions that could negatively affect consumer spending and demand for our products, and exacerbate some of the other risks that affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, economic forces, including changes in disposable consumer income and/or reductions in discretionary spending, unemployment levels, labor shortages, demographic trends, inflation and consumer confidence in the economy, may cause consumers to defer or decrease purchases of our products which could adversely affect our revenue, gross profit, and/or our overall financial condition and operating results.

The success of our business is dependent on our ability to maintain and grow our network of OPTAVIA coaches.

We consider our number of active earning OPTAVIA coaches and average quarterly revenue per active earning OPTAVIA coach to be key indicators of our financial performance and condition. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 27,100 total active earning OPTAVIA coaches as compared to 30,000 as of September 30, 2024 and 41,100 as of December 31, 2023. If we are unable to reverse the downtrend of the number of active earning coaches, which has been declining since Q3 2022, or revenue per active earning coach, which has been declining since Q2 2023, our future revenue and operating results will continue to be adversely affected, as we believe that the success of the Company depends on the success of our OPTAVIA coaches.

Additionally, OPTAVIA coaches are subject to high turnover, and we depend on our network of OPTAVIA coaches to continually grow their businesses by supporting customers and attracting, training and motivating new OPTAVIA coaches. Our failure to provide the business essentials, education, and competitive compensation necessary to motivate OPTAVIA coaches to grow their businesses will adversely affect our future growth and operating results. The growth and sustainability of our network of OPTAVIA coaches is also subject to risks which may be outside of our control. These include: potential misconduct or improper claims by OPTAVIA coaches; negative public perceptions of multi-level marketing; general economic conditions; failure to develop innovative products to meet consumer demands; adverse opinions of our products, services, or industry; and regulatory actions against our Company, competitors in our industry, or other direct selling companies.

If we do not continue to develop innovative new products or if our products do not continue to appeal to the market, or if we are unable to successfully expand or respond to consumer trends, our business may suffer.

The increasing focus of consumers on more integrated lifestyle and fitness approaches rather than just food, nutrition and diet could adversely impact the popularity of our programs. Our future success depends on our ability to continue to develop and market new, innovative products and to enhance our existing products, each on a timely basis to respond to new and evolving consumer demands, achieve market acceptance and keep pace with new nutritional, weight management, technological and other developments. We may not be successful in developing, introducing on a timely basis or marketing any new or enhanced products, and we cannot assure you that any new or enhanced products will appeal to the market. Our results of operations are highly dependent on the number of product sales generated by our OPTAVIA coaches. Our failure to develop new products and to enhance our existing products, and the failure of our products to continue to appeal to the market could have an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain customers and thus adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, we commit and invest substantial time and resources into developing innovative new products. There is no assurance that any new products will be successfully adopted by our customer base, or that we will be able promote such new products without taking steps such as reducing pricing or incurring acquisition costs that would affect our revenues and/or profitability.

Our collaboration with LifeMD may not achieve the anticipated benefits.

On December 13, 2023, we announced a new strategic collaboration (the “Collaboration”) with telehealth company, LifeMD, in furtherance of our expansion into the medically supported weight loss market, and with the expectation that the Collaboration would result in various long-term benefits to both companies, including increase in revenue, customer acquisition increase, and

Table of Contents

longer tenure in customer retention. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Collaboration is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether our business and LifeMD’s business can become integrated in an effective and efficient manner. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues generated by the Collaboration and diversion of management’s attention and energy away from ongoing business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results.

The Collaboration’s success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of customers to use LifeMD’s telehealth platform. If our customers do not perceive the benefits of LifeMD’s telehealth services, or if the Collaboration does not drive customer acquisition or retention, then our market may not develop, or it may develop more slowly than we expect. Similarly, individual and healthcare industry concerns could limit acceptance of LifeMD’s healthcare services. If any of these occur, it could have a material adverse effect on the success of the collaboration.

Finally, if LifeMD terminates its agreement with us, we may find it more difficult to attract new collaborators and our perception in the marketplace could be adversely affected.

Our Collaboration with LifeMD could open us up to additional risks.

The Collaboration may pose a number of risks, including: LifeMD has discretion in determining the efforts and resources that they will apply; LifeMD may not perform their obligations as expected; and LifeMD may fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Healthcare professionals providing telehealth services have become subject to a number of lawsuits alleging malpractice and some of these lawsuits may involve large claims and significant defense costs. Through the Collaboration, it is possible that these claims could also be asserted against us or our independent OPTAVIA coaches and include us as an additional defendant.

We could incur reputational harm or negative publicity in relation to an adverse event involving a LifeMD healthcare provider.

Additionally, a number of laws and regulations govern anti-kickbacks, physician self-referrals, and the business of advertising, promotion, dispensing, and marketing services, products, and pharmaceuticals. These regulatory regimes are overseen by state and federal level governmental bodies, including the FDA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), and the FTC. Through the Collaboration, failure to comply with the laws and regulations of these governmental agencies may result in legal or other enforcement actions, including orders to cease non-compliant activities. There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to state, federal or foreign government actions or class action lawsuits, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully implement new strategic initiatives, which could adversely impact our business.

We are continuously evaluating changing consumer preferences and the competitive environment of our industry and seeking out opportunities to improve our performance through the implementation of selected strategic initiatives. The goal of these efforts is to develop and implement a comprehensive and competitive business strategy which addresses the continuing changes in the weight management industry environment and our position within the industry. For example, as the healthcare industry continues to evolve its response to the obesity epidemic, so do the requirements, both regulatory and business, for providers. If we do not successfully meet these requirements, we may not be perceived as an appropriate partner for certain purposes. We may not be able to successfully implement our strategic initiatives and realize the intended business opportunities, growth prospects, including new business units, and competitive advantages. Our efforts to capitalize on business opportunities may not bring the intended results. Assumptions underlying expected financial results or consumer demand may not be met or economic conditions may deteriorate. We also may be unable to attract and retain highly qualified and skilled personnel to implement our strategic initiatives. If these or other factors limit our ability to successfully execute our strategic initiatives, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our business depends on the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing programs, including the strength of the Company's and our OPTAVIA coaches’ social media presence, to attract and retain customers. Use of social media may materially and adversely affect our reputation or subject us to fines or other penalties, and restrictions on the use of or access to social media may adversely impact sales of our products and services.

Our business success depends on our ability to attract and retain customers. Our ability to attract and retain customers depends significantly on the effectiveness of our OPTAVIA coaches’ advertising and marketing practices. Our OPTAVIA coaches support our customers and market our products and services primarily through word of mouth, email and via social media

Table of Contents

channels such as Facebook, Instagram, X, and video conferencing platforms. If their advertising and marketing campaigns do not generate a sufficient number of customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

We and our OPTAVIA coaches, as well as social media influencers or other brand ambassadors that we may utilize from time to time, use email and social media platforms as a means of communicating with customers. We use digital marketing, social media, and email marketing, among other means, to attract and retain customers. Unauthorized or inappropriate use of these channels could result in harmful publicity or negative consumer experiences, which could have an adverse impact on the effectiveness of our marketing through these channels. In addition, the rising popularity of social media and other consumer-oriented technologies has increased the speed and accessibility of information dissemination. Our target consumers often value readily available information and often act on such information without further investigation and without regard to its accuracy. The harm may be immediate without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction. Negative or false commentary about us may be posted on social media platforms or similar devices at any time and may harm our business, brand, reputation, coaches, financial condition, and results of operations, regardless of the information’s accuracy.

An increase in the use of social media for product promotion and marketing may cause an increase in the burden on us to monitor compliance of such materials and increase the risk that such materials could contain problematic product or marketing claims in violation of applicable regulations. As laws and regulations, including FTC enforcement, rapidly evolve to govern the use of these platforms and devices, the failure by us, our employees, or our coaches or other third parties acting at our direction to abide by applicable laws and regulations in the use of these platforms and devices could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations or subject us to fines or other penalties.

Our direct selling model may be challenged, which could harm our business.

We may be subject to challenges by government regulators regarding our direct selling model. Legal and regulatory requirements concerning the direct selling industry generally do not include “bright line” rules and are inherently fact-based and subject to interpretation. As a result, regulators and courts have discretion in their application of these laws and regulations, and the enforcement or interpretation of these laws and regulations by government agencies or courts can change. Additionally, the direct selling industry is also under regular scrutiny by the Direct Selling Self-Regulatory Council, which is one of the Better Business Bureau's National Programs, and other non-profit organizations. These organizations identify perceived violations of laws and regulations by direct sellers in an effort to force companies to change their practices. If companies do not voluntarily modify practices identified by these reviewing entities, they may report the perceived violations to law enforcement agencies.

Settlements between the FTC and other direct selling companies and guidance from the FTC have addressed inappropriate earnings and lifestyle claims and the importance of focusing on consumer sales. These developments have created a level of ambiguity as to the proper interpretation of the law and related court decisions. Any adverse rulings or legal actions could impact our business if direct selling laws or anti-pyramid laws are interpreted more narrowly or in a manner that results in additional burdens or restrictions on direct selling companies. For example, in 2019, the FTC took aggressive actions against a multi-level marketing company, which ultimately led to the company being permanently prohibited from using a multilevel compensation plan in the United States. If our OPTAVIA coaches make improper claims regarding our products or business, or if regulators determine we are making any improper claims, this could lead to an FTC investigation and could harm our business.

We continue to monitor developments to assess whether we should make any changes to our compensation structure. If we are required to make changes or if the FTC seeks to enforce similar measures in the industry, either through rulemaking or an enforcement action against us, our business could be harmed.

The FTC has also increased its scrutiny of the use of testimonials, which we also utilize, as well as the role of endorsers. We cannot be sure that the FTC will not challenge our advertising or other operations in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In addition, our ability to sustain satisfactory levels of sales is dependent in significant part on our ability to introduce innovative products. However, governmental regulations can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of certain of our products. Any such regulatory action, whether or not it results in a final determination adverse to us, could create negative publicity, with detrimental effects on the motivation and recruitment of OPTAVIA coaches and, consequently, on sales.

Table of Contents

We could also be subject to challenges by private parties in civil actions. We are aware of recent civil actions against other companies in the United States that use a direct selling model, which have and may in the future result in significant legal costs. Allegations against companies that use a multi-level marketing strategy in various markets have also created intense public scrutiny of companies in the direct selling industry. Similarly, the FTC continues to scrutinize multi-level marketers. All of these actions and any future scrutiny of us or the direct selling industry could generate negative publicity or further regulatory actions that could result in fines, restrict our ability to conduct our business, enter into new markets, and ultimately attract customers.

We rely on third parties to provide us with a majority of the products we sell and we manufacture the remaining portion. We also rely on third parties to distribute and deliver our products. The inability to obtain the necessary products from our third-party manufacturers, produce the products we manufacture in-house or distribute and deliver our products could cause our revenue, earnings or reputation to suffer.

We rely on third-party manufacturers to supply a majority of the food and other products we sell. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient quantity, quality and variety of foods and other products from these manufactures in a timely and low-cost manner, we will be unable to fulfill our customers’ orders in a timely manner, which may cause us to lose revenue and market share or incur higher costs, as well as damage our reputation and the value of our brands. We also rely on third-parties to distribute and deliver our products.

Therefore, it is critical that we maintain good relationships with our manufacturers and third parties that distribute and deliver our products. The services we require from these parties may be disrupted due to a number of factors associated with their businesses, including the following:

•public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics;

•labor disruptions;

•delivery and transportation problems;

•financial condition or results of operations;

•internal inefficiencies;

•power failures;

•equipment failure;

•severe weather, climate and other adverse environmental conditions;

•fire;

•natural or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, or political instability;

•adverse changes in third-party contract terms;

•shortages or increases in prices of ingredients; and

•USDA or FDA compliance issues.

We manufacture and produce a portion of our products, which account for approximately 40% of our total unit sales, at our manufacturing facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. As a result, we are dependent upon the uninterrupted and efficient operation of this manufacturing facility. The operations at this facility may be disrupted by a number of factors, including the following:

•public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics;

•labor disruptions;

•power failures;

•equipment failure;

•internal inefficiencies;

•severe weather, climate and other adverse environmental conditions;

•fire;

•natural or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, or political instability; and

•USDA or FDA compliance issues.

There can be no assurance that the occurrence of these or any other operational problems at our sole facility would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our ability to source quality ingredients and other products is critical to our business, and any disruption to our supply or supply chain could materially adversely affect our business.

We depend on frequent deliveries of ingredients and other products from domestic and foreign suppliers, especially for our non-powder products. Some of our suppliers may depend on a variety of other local, regional, national and international suppliers to fulfill the purchase orders we place with them. The availability of such ingredients and other products at competitive prices depends on many factors beyond our control, including the number and size of the suppliers that provide the raw materials that meet our quality and production standards.

We rely on our suppliers, and their supply chains, to meet our quality and production standards and specifications and supply ingredients and other products in a timely and safe manner. However, no safety and quality measures can eliminate the possibility that suppliers may provide us with defective or out-of-specification products against which regulators may take action or which may subject us to litigation or require a recall. Suppliers may provide us with ingredients that are or may be unsafe, below our quality standards or improperly labeled. In addition to a negative customer experience, we could face possible seizure or recall of our products and the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions if we incorporate a defective or out-of-specification item into one of our deliveries.

Furthermore, there are many factors beyond our control which could cause shortages or interruptions in the supply of our ingredients and other products, including adverse weather, climate and environmental factors, natural disasters, unanticipated demand, labor or distribution problems, changes in law or policy, food safety issues by our suppliers and their supply chains, and the financial health of our suppliers and their supply chains. Production or yield of the agricultural crops that are used as ingredients in our products may also be materially adversely affected by drought, water scarcity, temperature extremes, scarcity of agricultural labor, changes in government agricultural programs or subsidies, import restrictions, scarcity of suitable agricultural land, crop conditions, crop or animal diseases or crop pests. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential effect of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results, particularly in circumstances where an ingredient or product is sourced from a single supplier or location.

In addition, unexpected delays in deliveries from suppliers or increases in transportation costs (including through increased fuel costs) could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Labor shortages or work stoppages in the transportation industry, long-term disruptions to the national transportation infrastructure, reduction in capacity and industry-specific regulations such as hours-of-service rules that lead to delays or interruptions of deliveries could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We currently source certain of our ingredients from suppliers located outside of the United States. Any event causing a disruption or delay of imports from suppliers located outside of the United States, including weather, drought, crop-related diseases, the imposition of import or export restrictions, restrictions on the transfer of funds or increased tariffs, destination-based taxes, value-added taxes, quotas or increased regulatory requirements, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of our ingredients and the other materials required by our product offerings, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Furthermore, our suppliers’ operations may be adversely affected by political and financial instability, resulting in the disruption of trade from exporting countries, restrictions on the transfer of funds or other trade disruptions, each of which could adversely affect our access or ability to source ingredients and other materials used in our product offerings on a timely or cost-effective basis.

We may be subject to claims that our OPTAVIA coaches are unqualified to provide proper weight loss advice.

Our OPTAVIA coaches are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a position to provide the same level of oversight as we would if these OPTAVIA coaches were our own employees. As a result, there can be no assurance that our OPTAVIA coaches will comply with our policies and procedures. Additionally, most of our OPTAVIA coaches do not have extensive training or certification in nutrition, diet or health fields and have only undergone the education they receive from us. We may be subject to claims from our customers alleging that our OPTAVIA coaches lack the qualifications necessary to provide proper advice regarding weight loss and related topics. We may also be subject to claims that our OPTAVIA coaches have provided inappropriate advice or have failed to recommend customers consult with their health care providers during the course of the customers’ weight loss journey, as recommended in the Company’s Medical Disclaimer. Such claims could result in lawsuits, damage to our reputation and divert management’s attention from our business, which would adversely affect our business.

Table of Contents

We may be subject to health or advertising related claims from our customers.

While we collaborate with LifeMD healthcare providers, our businesses are separate, and our weight loss and weight management programs do not include medical treatment or medical advice, and we do not engage physicians or nurses, with LifeMD or otherwise, to monitor the progress of our customers. Many people who are overweight suffer from other physical conditions, and our target consumers could be considered a high-risk population. A customer who experiences health problems could allege or bring a lawsuit against us on the basis that those problems were caused or worsened by participating in our programs, including outcomes based on interactions with our independent OPTAVIA coaches or healthcare providers associated with LifeMD. Further, customers who allege that they were deceived by any statements that we made in advertising or labeling could bring a lawsuit against us under consumer protection laws. From time-to-time we are subject to such allegations and have been involved in such litigation. We may ultimately be unsuccessful in defending ourselves against such claims. Also, defending ourselves against such claims, regardless of their merit and ultimate outcome, may be lengthy and costly, and could adversely affect our brand image, customer loyalty and results of operations.

We are dependent on our key executives for future success. If we lose the services of any of our key executives and we are unable to timely retain a qualified replacement, our business could be harmed.

Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of our key executives. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could harm our business. We have not obtained life insurance on any key executives. If any key executives left us or were seriously injured and became unable to work, our business could be harmed.

Information Technology and Cyber Security Risks

Any failure of our technology or systems to perform satisfactorily could result in an adverse impact on our business.

We rely on software, hardware, network systems, including cloud-based technology, that is either developed by us or licensed from or maintained by third parties to operate our websites. As much of this technology is complex, there may be future errors, defects or performance problems, including when we update our technology or integrate new technology to expand and enhance our capabilities. Our technology may malfunction or suffer from defects that become apparent only after extended use. The integrity of our technology may also be compromised as a result of third-party cyber-attacks, such as hacking, spear phishing campaigns and denial of service attacks, which are increasingly negatively impacting companies. In addition, our operations depend on our ability to protect our information technology systems against damage from third-party cyber-attacks, fire, power loss, water, earthquakes, telecommunications failures, and similar unexpected adverse events. Interruptions in our websites, services and products, or network systems could result from unknown technical defects, insufficient capacity or the failure of our third-party providers to provide continuous and uninterrupted service. While we maintain disaster recovery capabilities to return to normal operation in a timely manner, we do not have a fully redundant system that includes an instantaneous recovery capability.

As a result of such possible defects, failures, interruptions or other problems, our services and products could be rendered unreliable or be perceived as unreliable by customers, which could result in harm to our reputation and brand. Any failure of our technology or systems could result in an adverse impact on our business.

Our business is subject to online security risks, including security breaches and identity theft.

Unauthorized users who penetrate our information security systems could misappropriate proprietary or customer information or data or cause interruptions to the product offerings on our website. As a result, it may become necessary to expend significant additional amounts of capital and resources to protect against, or to alleviate, problems caused by unauthorized users. These expenditures, however, may not prove to be a timely remedy against unauthorized users who are able to penetrate our information security systems. In addition to purposeful security breaches, the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could adversely affect our computer systems and, in turn, harm our business.

Existing, proposed or new data privacy legislation and regulations, including interpretations thereof, could also significantly affect our business. For example, data protection and privacy laws have been enacted by the U.S. federal and state governments, including the California Privacy Rights Act, which became effective on January 1, 2023 and replaced the previously established California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other relevant statutes. These laws typically impose significant penalties for non-compliance. Further, a significant number of states require that customers be notified if a security breach results in the disclosure of their personal financial account or other information. Additional states and governmental entities are considering such “notice” laws. In addition, other public disclosure laws may require that material security breaches be reported. If we experience a security breach and such notice or public disclosure is required in the future, our reputation and our business may

Table of Contents

be harmed. The effects of these new and evolving laws, regulations, and other obligations potentially are far-reaching and may require us to further modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply.

In addition, if we choose to expand our business internationally in the future, we may be subject to international privacy, data protection, consumer protection and other laws and regulations, which in some cases are more restrictive than those in the United States. For example, the European Union traditionally has imposed stricter obligations under such laws than the United States. Consequently, any future expansion of our international operations may require changes to the ways we collect and use consumer information. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and utilize proprietary and customer information and data. As a result, we have developed systems that are designed to protect consumer information and prevent fraudulent transactions and other security breaches. Privacy concerns among prospective and existing customers regarding our use of such information or data collected on our website or through our services and products, such as weight management information, financial data, email addresses and home addresses, could keep them from using our website or purchasing our services or products. We currently face certain legal obligations regarding the manner in which we treat such information and data. Businesses have been criticized by privacy groups and governmental bodies for their use and handling of such information and data. We rely on third-party software products to secure our credit card transactions. Failure to prevent or mitigate fraudulent payment transactions or security breaches or changes in industry standards or regulations may adversely affect our business and operating results or cause us to lose our ability to accept credit cards as a form of payment and result in chargebacks of fraudulently charged amounts. Furthermore, widespread credit card fraud may lessen our customers’ willingness to purchase our products on our website.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Third parties may infringe on our brand, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, which may have an adverse impact on our business.

We currently rely on a combination of trademark and other intellectual property laws and confidentiality procedures to establish and protect our proprietary rights, including our brand. Because our business relies heavily on a direct-to-consumer business model, our brand is an important element of our business strategy. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, the value of our brand, services and products could be diminished and our business may suffer. Additionally, failure to protect our intellectual property could result in the entry of a competitor into the market. Our precautions may not prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property by state actors, competitors, or individuals or groups that are or are not affiliated with the Company. Any legal action that we may bring to protect our brand and other intellectual property could be unsuccessful and expensive and could divert management’s attention from other business concerns. In addition, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of intellectual property, especially in Internet-related businesses, are uncertain and evolving. We cannot assure you that these evolving legal standards will sufficiently protect our intellectual property rights in the future.

We may in the future be subject to intellectual property rights claims.

Third parties may, in the future, make claims against us alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights. Any intellectual property claims, regardless of merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and could significantly divert management’s attention from other business concerns. In addition, if we were unable to successfully defend against such claims, we may have to pay damages, stop selling the service or product or stop using the software, technology or content found to be in violation of a third-party’s rights, seek a license for the infringing service, product, software, technology or content or develop alternative non-infringing services, products, software, technology or content. If we cannot license on reasonable terms, develop alternatives or have to stop using the service, product, software, technology or content for any infringing aspects of our business, we may be forced to limit our service and product offerings. Any of these results could reduce our revenue and our ability to compete effectively, increase our costs or harm our business.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Changes in consumer preferences could negatively impact our operating results.

The weight management industry is subject to changing consumer demands based, in large part, on the efficacy and popular appeal of weight management programs. The popularity of weight management programs is dependent, in part, on their ease of use, cost and channels of distribution as well as consumer trends, which continue to evolve with the introduction of new technologies and innovations, and, on an ongoing basis, many existing and potential providers of weight loss solutions,

Table of Contents

including many pharmaceutical firms with significantly greater financial and operating resources than we have, are developing new products and services. The growing popularity of weight loss solutions, such as a drug therapy or GLP-1 medications, which may be perceived to be safe, effective and “easier” than a portion-controlled meal plan has affected the marketplace and could negatively impact our results of operations.

Changes in consumer tastes and preferences away from our pre-packaged food and support and coaching services, and any failure to provide innovative responses to these changes, may have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and prospects. Our success is also dependent on our food innovation including maintaining a robust array of food items and improving the quality of existing items. If we do not continually expand our food items or provide customers with items that are desirable in taste and quality, our business could be harmed. Additionally, we anticipate competition from other companies that provide telehealth services associated with weight management, and certain of these competitors have greater financial and other resources than us and have operations in therapeutic or other areas where we may seek to expand in the future.

The weight loss industry is subject to adverse publicity, which could harm our business.

The weight loss industry receives adverse publicity from time to time, and the occurrence of such publicity could harm us, even if the adverse publicity is not directly related to us. Congressional hearings about practices in the weight loss industry have also resulted in adverse publicity and a consequent decline in the revenue of weight loss businesses. Future research or investigative reports or publicity that is perceived as unfavorable or that question certain weight loss programs, products or methods could result in a decline in our revenue. Because of our dependence on consumer perceptions, adverse publicity associated with illness or other undesirable effects resulting from the consumption of our products or similar products by competitors, whether or not accurate, could also damage customer confidence in our weight loss program and result in a decline in revenue. Adverse publicity could arise even if the unfavorable effects associated with weight loss products or services resulted from the user’s failure to use such products or services appropriately.

Our industry is subject to governmental regulation that could increase in severity and hurt results of operations.

Our industry is subject to federal, state, and other governmental regulations. Certain federal and state agencies, such as the FTC and the U.S. states’ consumer protection agencies, regulate and enforce laws relating to advertising, disclosures to consumers, privacy, consumer pricing and billing arrangements and other consumer protection matters. A determination by a federal or state agency, or a court, that any of our practices do not meet existing or new laws or regulations could result in liability, adverse publicity, and restrictions of our business operations. Some advertising practices in the weight loss industry have led to investigations from time to time by the FTC and other governmental agencies. Many companies in the weight loss industry, including our predecessor businesses, have entered into consent decrees with the FTC relating to weight loss claims and other advertising practices. In 2009, the FTC promulgated nonbinding Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (“Endorsement Guides”) which explained what endorsement practices the FTC views as being unfair or deceptive acts or practices. In 2020, the FTC sought public comments on whether the Endorsement Guides should be amended. The last time the FTC sought similar public comments led to a major revision of the Endorsement Guides. Consequently, the FTC could bring an enforcement action based on practices that are inconsistent with the current Endorsement Guides as it considers revisions. Under the current Endorsement Guides, advertisements that feature a consumer and convey his or her atypical experience with a product or service are required to clearly disclose the typical results that consumers can generally expect. We cannot be sure that the FTC will not challenge our advertising or other operations in the future, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Other aspects of our industry are also subject to government regulation. For example, the labeling and distribution of food products, including dietary supplements, are subject to strict USDA and FDA requirements and food manufacturers are subject to rigorous inspection and other requirements of the USDA and FDA, and companies operating in foreign markets must comply with those countries’ requirements for proper labeling, controls on hygiene, food preparation, and other matters. If federal, state, local, or foreign regulation of our industry increases for any reason, then we may be required to incur significant expenses, as well as modify our operations to comply with new regulatory requirements, which could harm our operating results. Additionally, remedies available in any potential administrative or regulatory actions may include product recalls and require us to refund amounts paid by all affected customers or pay other damages, which could be substantial.

Laws and regulations directly applicable to communications, operations or commerce over the Internet such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation, are more prevalent and remain unsettled. If we are required to comply with new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, or if we are unable to comply with these laws, regulations, or interpretations, our business could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Future laws or regulations, including laws or regulations affecting our marketing and advertising practices, relations with consumers, employees, service providers, or our services and products, may have an adverse impact on us.

The manufacture and sale of ingested products are subject to product liability claims and other risks.

Like other manufacturers and distributors of products that are ingested, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of our products results in illness or injury. The foods and products that we manufacture and sell in the United States are subject to laws and regulations, including those administered by the USDA and FDA that establish manufacturing practices and quality standards for food products. Product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business as existing insurance coverage may not be adequate. Distributors of weight loss food products, including dietary supplements, have been named as defendants in product liability lawsuits from time to time. The successful assertion or settlement of an uninsured claim, a significant number of insured claims or a claim exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage would harm us by adding costs to the business and by diverting the attention of senior management from the operation of the business. We may also be subject to claims that our products contain contaminants, are improperly labeled, include inadequate instructions as to use or inadequate warnings covering interactions with other substances. Additionally, the manufacture and sale of these products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Product liability litigation, even if not meritorious, is very expensive and could also entail adverse publicity for us and reduce our revenue. Furthermore, the products we manufacture and distribute, or certain components of those products, may be subject to product recalls or other deficiencies. Any negative publicity associated with these actions would adversely affect our brand and may result in decreased product sales and, as a result, lower revenue and profits.

General Risk Factors

Actions of activist stockholders could cause us to incur substantial costs, divert management's attention and resources, and have an adverse effect on our business.

We have been the target of activist stockholder activities in the past. If a new activist investor purchased our stock, our business could be adversely affected because responding to proxy contests and reacting to other actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disruptive to our operations and divert the attention of management and our employees. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, strategy or leadership created as a consequence of activist stockholder initiatives may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, harm our ability to attract new investors, customers, employees, suppliers and other strategic partners, and cause our share price to experience periods of volatility or stagnation.

There can be no assurance that we will declare cash dividends in the future or in any particular amounts.

On December 13, 2023, we announced that the Company updated its capital allocation priorities following a thorough review, and decided to discontinue the Company’s quarterly cash dividend. Our Board of Directors periodically reviews our capital allocation strategy to ensure that it is in the best interest of our stockholders and is in compliance with all applicable laws and agreements. Our capital allocation strategy may change from time to time, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will declare dividends in the future or in any particular amounts. The 2023 discontinuation of our dividend payments could have a negative effect on our stock price.

Our stock price fluctuates from time to time and may fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, and could subject us to litigation, which may result in you suffering a loss on your investment.

The market price of the Company’s common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are out of our control. These factors include: quarterly variations in operating results; changes in accounting treatments or principles; announcements by us or our competitors of new products and services offerings; significant contracts, acquisitions, or strategic relationships; additions or departures of key personnel; any future sales of the Company’s common stock or other securities; stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded companies; and general political, economic and market conditions. In some future quarter our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could result in a decrease in the trading price of the Company’s common stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may be the target of similar litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could seriously harm our business and operating results.

Table of Contents

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation may deter or delay an acquisition of us or prevent a change in control, even if an acquisition or a change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation (as amended) may have the effect of deterring unsolicited takeovers or delaying or preventing a third-party from acquiring control of us, even if our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the then current market prices. In addition, these provisions may limit the ability of our stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

Our certificate of incorporation (as amended) permits our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval upon such terms as the Board of Directors may determine. The rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock will be junior to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or discourage a third-party from acquiring, a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock. The issuance of a substantial number of preferred shares could adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock.

If we do not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we could fail to report our financial results accurately.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. In the future, if we identify a control deficiency that rises to the level of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, this material weakness may adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information timely and accurately and, as a result, our financial statements may contain material misstatements or omissions. If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we could be required to take costly and time-consuming corrective measures, to remedy any number of deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, be required to restate the affected historical financial statements, be subjected to investigations and/or sanctions by federal and state securities regulators, and be subjected to civil lawsuits by security holders. Any of the foregoing could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and in our Company and could result in a decline in the market price of our stock and in our ability to raise additional financing if needed in the future.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Overview

Organizations across the globe are experiencing cybersecurity incidents at an increasing rate, and cybersecurity threats are increasingly sophisticated and constantly evolving. We have developed and maintained policies, procedures, and controls to mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats, and assess and disclose information to investors concerning material cybersecurity incidents. These risks are evaluated on an ongoing basis as part of our overall risk management strategy. As discussed in more detail below, we have policies and procedures in place to safeguard our information systems, monitor these systems, protect the confidentiality and integrity of our data, train and raise awareness of cybersecurity threats amongst employees, detect intrusions into our systems, and respond to cybersecurity incidents. Despite these efforts, no system is impenetrable, and we cannot provide assurances that we will prevent every attack or detect every incident timely.

Risk Management and Strategy

We have established processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and have integrated these cybersecurity processes into our overall risk management system. Specifically, we have adopted a cybersecurity framework that, where appropriate, aligns with the NIST's Cybersecurity Framework, and we have maintained systems that, where appropriate, are PCI compliant under current standards.

We regularly review our Incident Response Plans to ensure readiness if and when an incident does occur, including through live testing via planned and surprise tabletop exercises. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, if a system does become non-operational, we maintain disaster recovery capabilities to return to normal operation in a timely manner.

Table of Contents

Our cybersecurity processes to assess and identify cybersecurity risks includes periodic risk assessments, deployment of security monitoring tools for continuous monitoring of our information systems, periodic testing for vulnerabilities in our systems, periodic testing of employees’ cybersecurity awareness, receiving cybersecurity alerts, among other procedures. Our Information Security (“IS”) department, which reports to the Vice President, Information Security, evaluates cybersecurity risks and works to design and ensure implementation of appropriate controls and safeguards in alignment with our business objectives and operational needs. Management periodically reviews cybersecurity risks as part of the overall risks to the company as part of the enterprise risk management program. This review helps in identifying areas for improvement and ensuring the alignment of cybersecurity efforts with the overall risk management framework.

We engage various third parties to assess, test, or assist with the implementation of our risk management strategies, policies, and procedures to enhance our detection and management of cybersecurity risks, including but not limited to: consultants who assist with assessing risks, assist with our PCI compliance assessments, assess our systems alignment with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and test and/or scan for vulnerabilities.

We rely on software, hardware, and network systems, including cloud-based technology, that are either developed by us or licensed from or maintained by third parties to maintain operations. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and utilize proprietary and customer information and data. We utilize systems designed to protect customer information and prevent fraudulent transactions and other security breaches. We rely on third-party software products to secure our credit card transactions.

Furthermore, we maintain a process to evaluate and manage risks associated with third-party service providers. We conduct cybersecurity assessments of our key vendors before engagement, maintain continued monitoring during the engagement, and maintain the ability to discontinue our engagement with a key vendor if their cybersecurity posture fails to meet pre-established standards.

The Company, from time to time, experiences or is subject to a variety of incidents that arise during the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this report and based upon the Company’s experience, current information, and applicable laws, we do not believe that these incidents are material, or will have or have had a material adverse effect on business strategy, results of operations, or financial position. However, future cybersecurity incidents could materially affect our strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information on how risks could materially affect the company.

Governance

The Board of Directors has responsibility for oversight and approval of our cybersecurity risk management processes, and the Board has established an oversight mechanism for cybersecurity risks.

Senior executives provide the Board of Directors with quarterly updates concerning cybersecurity risks and the Company’s cybersecurity strategies and objectives. In addition, members of management briefed on specific issues attend Board meetings to provide additional insight into the specific issues being discussed, including risk exposure.

The Board works with our senior executives in reviewing the cybersecurity risks and strategy, provides guidance on the Company’s cybersecurity goals and objectives, and monitors the information it receives from management regarding the assessment and management of cybersecurity risk. If a significant cybersecurity incident occurs, it will be reported promptly to the Board near the time of discovery.

The IS department is charged with monitoring risks, implementing controls, developing information security policies and procedures, and assessing cyber events. On a day-to-day basis, IS informs the Vice President, Information Security concerning cybersecurity risks and events, including any mitigation and remediation efforts. Our Vice President, Information Security joined the Company in September 2022, and is responsible for approving IS policies and procedures, implementing controls, monitoring and detection programs, and employee training on cybersecurity risks, and reports cybersecurity risks and strategies directly to executive leadership. He has over a decade of security experience, received his Master of Science in Computer Information and Information Systems Security/Information Assurance from Norwich University, and holds various certifications including Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

Cybersecurity incidents are escalated to the cybersecurity incident response team ("CIRT") who is responsible for overseeing our incident response strategy, including remediation. Significant cybersecurity incidents are escalated to the Company’s Incident Response Materiality Assessment Committee (“IRMAC”) that assesses and evaluates whether the incident is material

Table of Contents

using criteria based on our enterprise risks. This committee is comprised of a cross-functional team that consists, in part, of employees at the management level and members of the executive team. As noted above, if a significant cybersecurity incident occurs, it will be reported promptly to the Board on an ad hoc and as-needed basis. Otherwise, management reports cybersecurity risks and developments to the Board quarterly.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Table of Contents

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management develops, and changes periodically, these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management considers the following accounting policies to be the most critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements. These critical accounting policies have been discussed with our Audit Committee, as appropriate.

Revenue Recognition: Our revenue is derived primarily from point of sale transactions executed over an e-commerce platform for weight loss, weight management, and other healthy living products. Prior to a change in our Customer Terms & Conditions (Customer T&Cs) in the first quarter of 2023, revenue was recognized upon receipt by the customer and net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, allocated consideration to loyalty programs, and estimated returns. Upon the change of our Customer T&Cs, revenue is now recognized upon delivery to the shipping carrier and net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, allocated consideration to loyalty programs, and estimated returns.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those products. When determining whether the customer has obtained control of the products, we consider any future performance obligations.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. Our contracts have performance obligations to fulfill and deliver products from the point of sale transaction along with the related customer reward programs.

Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from products transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for substantially all of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when the obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied.

Our return policy allows for customer returns of consumable products from the time of order until 30 days following the date of receipt, and upon our authorization. We adjust revenues for the products expected to be returned and a liability is recognized for expected refunds to customers. We estimate expected returns based on historical levels and project this experience into the future.

Our sales contracts may give customers the option to purchase additional products priced at a discount. Options to acquire additional products at a discount can come in many forms, such as customer reward programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, and promotions.

We reduce the transaction price for customer reward programs and certain incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions, and incentives that represent variable consideration and separate performance obligations. The Company accounts for sales rewards that provide the customer with a material right as a separate performance obligation of the transactions, and therefore allocates consideration between the initial sale of products and the customer reward program and incentive offering.

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities are treated as a promised service performance obligation and are recorded as revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations upon fulfillment of the performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for the delivery of products to customers are considered a cost to fulfill the contract and are included in cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We expense OPTAVIA coach compensation and credit card fees during the period in which the corresponding revenue is earned. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Long-lived Asset Impairment: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the

Table of Contents

asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in our Consolidated Balance Sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense.

Revenue: Revenue decreased $469.6 million, or 43.8%, to $602.5 million in 2024 from $1.1 billion in 2023. The year-over-year decline in revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in the number of active earning OPTAVIA coaches and lower coach productivity, and a $9.1 million impact from a timing difference related to changes in the Company’s sales order terms and conditions with its customers realized in the first quarter of 2023. The total number of active earning OPTAVIA coaches for the three months ended December 31, 2024 decreased to 27,100 from 41,100 for the corresponding period in 2023, a decrease of 34.1%. The average revenue per active earning OPTAVIA coach decreased 5.5% to $4,391 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $4,648 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in the revenue per active earning OPTAVIA coach for the quarter was driven by continued pressure on customer acquisition.

Costs of Sales: Cost of sales decreased $138.4 million, or 46.7%, to $157.8 million in 2024 from $296.2 million in 2023. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by an approximately $123.9 million decrease due to lower sales volumes, $5.3 million decrease in inventory donations, and $4.7 million of efficiencies in inventory management.

Non-GAAP adjusted cost of sales were $155.3 million for 2024, a decrease of $140.9 million, or 47.6%, as compared to $296.2 million for 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted cost of sales excludes expenses in connection with the restructuring of certain external manufacturing agreements. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of each of Non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Gross Profit: In 2024, gross profit decreased $331.2 million, or 42.7%, to $444.6 million from $775.9 million in 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to lower revenue. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased 140 basis points to 73.8% for 2024 from 72.4% for 2023.

Table of Contents

Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit was $447.2 million for 2024, a decrease of $328.6 million, or 42.4%, as compared to $775.9 million for 2023. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of each of Non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Selling, General and Administrative: Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $441.7 million in 2024, a decrease of $207.7 million, or 32.0%, as compared to $649.4 million in 2023, primarily due to a $188.7 million decrease in OPTAVIA coach compensation due to lower sales volumes, a $13.8 million decrease in employee compensation, a $9.7 million decrease in credit card fees, and a $7.1 million decrease in costs for coach-related events. These decreases are partially offset by $22.9 million of customer led acquisition costs and $12.5 million of supply chain optimization costs. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 73.3% for 2024 as compared to 60.6% for 2023, primarily due to a 330 basis point increase for our company led acquisition efforts, a 330 basis point increase for loss of leverage on employee compensation, a 160 basis point increase due to loss of leverage on fixed costs, and a 200 basis point increase due to supply chain optimization efforts. SG&A expenses included research and development costs of $4.6 million and $4.6 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, in connection with the development of new products and programs and clinical research activities.

Non-GAAP adjusted SG&A expenses were $424.2 million for 2024, a decrease of $217.7 million, or 33.9%, as compared to $641.9 million for 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted SG&A expenses exclude expenses in connection with the Company's supply chain optimization and costs for the LifeMD Collaboration. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of each of Non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Income from operations: Income from operations in 2024 decreased $123.5 million to $2.9 million from $126.4 million in 2023 primarily as a result of decreased gross profit, partially offset by decreased SG&A expenses. Income from operations as a percentage of sales decreased to 0.5% for 2024 as compared to 11.8% for 2023 due to the factors described above in the explanations for gross profit and SG&A expenses.

Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations in 2024 decreased to $23.0 million from $134.0 million in 2023. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of each of Non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Provision for income taxes: For 2024, the Company recorded $1.7 million in income tax expense, an effective tax rate of 44.8%, as compared to $29.4 million in income tax expense and an effective tax rate of 22.8%, for 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2024 as compared to 2023 was primarily driven by the 18.3% impact of state taxes and the 23.3% impact of the tax shortfall for stock compensation, partially offset by the 17.9% reduction from the impact of research and development tax credits, all of which were magnified by the near break-even pre-tax income position in the current year.

Non-GAAP adjusted income tax provision was $7.7 million for 2024, an effective tax rate of 27.7%, compared to $31.1 million in 2023, an effective tax rate of 22.8%. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2024 as compared to 2023 was primarily driven by the 4.6% impact of state taxes and the 3.1% impact of the tax shortfall for stock compensation, partially offset by a 1.7% reduction from the impact of research and development tax credits and 1.2% from the impact of from the limitation for executive compensation. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of each of Non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Net income: Net income was $2.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in 2024 as compared to $99.4 million, or $9.10 per diluted share, in 2023. The period-over-period changes were driven by the factors described above in the explanations from operations.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $20.2 million or $1.84 per diluted share for 2024 as compared to $105.2 million or $9.64 per diluted share for 2023. The period-over-period changes were driven by the factors described above in the Non-GAAP explanations from operations. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of each of Non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Additionally, refer to Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Table of Contents

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose various non-GAAP financial measures in this annual report, our quarterly earnings press release, and other public disclosures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented on an as-adjusted basis: cost of sales, gross profit, SG&A expenses, income from operations, other income, provision for income taxes, net income, and diluted earnings per share. Each of these as-adjusted financial measures excludes the impact of certain amounts related to supply chain optimization and restructuring of external manufacturing agreements, unrealized gains or losses on our investment in LifeMD common stock, and the LifeMD collaboration as further identified below and have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is included below. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations because we believe they provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s on-going economic performance. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.

The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures included in this report (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had stockholders’ equity of $210.1 million and working capital of $150.2 million at December 31, 2024 compared with $201.5 million and $131.7 million at December 31, 2023. The $8.6 million net increase in stockholders’ equity reflects $2.1 million in net income for 2024 and $7.4 million for shared-based compensation offset by other equity transactions described in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity included in our consolidated financial statements included in this report. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investment securities increased to $162.3 million at December 31, 2024 from $150.0 million at December 31, 2023. In December 2023, the Company’s board of directors determined to change the Company’s capital allocation priorities and discontinued the Company’s quarterly cash dividend to support investments in technology and future growth. The decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will depend on general business conditions, the effect of such payments on our financial condition and other factors the Company’s board of directors consider relevant.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $123.2 million to $24.5 million for 2024 from $147.7 million for 2023 primarily as a result of a $97.3 million decrease in net income and adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $26.5 million for 2024 as compared to $61.0 million for 2023. This year-over-year change resulted primarily from a $22.3 million increase in proceeds from sale and maturities of investment securities and a $13.2 million decrease in cash used in the purchase of investment securities for 2024 as compared to 2023.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $78.3 million to $1.5 million for 2024 from $79.8 million for 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a $72.3 million decrease in cash dividends paid to stockholders, a $3.6 million decrease in stock repurchases, and a $2.5 million decrease in net shares repurchased for employee taxes for 2024 as compared to 2023.

The Company is currently investing in new growth initiatives which have the potential to impact liquidity in future periods. The Company’s current growth initiatives, which are primarily comprised of Company-led marketing activities, new product development and the Company’s Medically Supported Weight Loss collaboration with LifeMD, do not require any material contractual commitments or capital expenditures in future periods. Since the future costs of these endeavors are variable in nature and will be scaled at the discretion of management, we do not believe there is any significant impact on our liquidity or capital resources

In pursuing its business strategy, the Company may require additional cash for operating and investing activities. The Company expects future cash requirements, if any, to be funded from operating cash flow and financing activities.

From time to time the Company evaluates potential acquisitions that complement our business. If consummated, any such transactions may use a portion of our working capital or require the issuance of equity or debt. We have no present understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any material acquisitions.

On April 13, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a credit agreement among the Company, the Guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent. On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the borrowing capacity and convert the interest rate to be based on SOFR, from LIBOR (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement provided for a $225.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit. On October 30, 2024, the Company terminated its Amended Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A. The Company had no borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, inclusive of the credit facility and letter of credit sublimit as of the termination date.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company had the following contractual obligations with a remaining term in excess of one year as of December 31, 2024 (in thousands):


	2025		2026 - 2027		2028 - 2029		Thereafter		Total
Operating leases (a)	$	6,462	$	7,336	$	2,858	$	—	$	16,656

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and a decline in the stock market. The Company does not enter into derivatives, foreign exchange transactions or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes other than strategic investments.

The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and market pricing impacting our investment in money market securities, government and agency securities, and corporate bonds. Other than for strategic investments, its current investment policy is to maintain an investment portfolio consisting of corporate bonds and U.S. money market securities directly or through managed funds. Its cash is deposited in and invested through highly rated financial institutions in North America. Its marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk and market pricing risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase or if market pricing decreases. If market interest rates were to increase and market pricing were to decrease immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at December 31, 2024, the Company estimates that the fair value of its investment portfolio would decline by an immaterial amount and therefore it would not expect its operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a change in market conditions on our investments. There were no material changes in the Company's market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates and market pricing impacting our investments from the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company is exposed to market risk related to price fluctuations in equity markets related to its investment in LifeMD common stock, purchased in December of 2023. If equity prices were to decrease immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at December 31, 2024, the Company estimates that the fair value of the Company investment would decline by an immaterial amount and therefore it would not expect its operating results or cash flows to be affected by any significant degree by the effect of a change in market conditions on our investment. There were no material changes in the Company's market risk exposure related to the investment in LifeMD common stock from the year ended December 31, 2023.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Medifast, Inc.

Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Medifast, Inc.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated February 18, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Medifast, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Medifast, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated February 18, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Income Taxes

As described in Notes 2 and 11 of the financial statements, the Company operates in multiple markets in the U.S. using an e‑commerce platform and a direct selling network of OPTAVIA coaches. The Company’s provision for income taxes is impacted based on interpretations of U.S. federal and various state and local income tax laws. Management prepared the Company’s provision for income taxes using significant judgment when interpreting the provisions of federal, state and local tax regulations and assessed the positions taken as a result of these considerations as to whether or not the amount of benefit recorded would be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination.

We identified the evaluation of the Company’s provision for income taxes as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management when assessing the complex provisions of the tax laws and regulations. Auditing the matter required significant auditor judgment and increased audit effort, including use of our tax specialists, in evaluating the recorded results of management’s tax positions and their assessment of the sustainability of these tax positions.

Table of Contents

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s provision for income taxes included the following, among others:

•We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to the determination of current and deferred taxes and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls related to the interpretation and application of tax laws.

•We involved our specialized tax professionals to assist in evaluating the application of federal regulations and state and local tax positions. Our specialists considered the interpretations of federal regulations, state and local tax positions, and other tax positions requiring significant judgment, made an independent assessment of such positions and related calculations and then compared them to the Company’s recorded positions.

•We tested the accuracy and completeness of the data and inputs used to calculate the effective federal and state tax rates, current provision calculations and deferred tax assets/liabilities.

MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022

1.NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Medifast, Inc. (the “Company” or “Medifast”) is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 1989. The Company’s operations are primarily conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., OPTAVIA LLC, Jason Enterprises, Inc., Jason Properties, LLC, OPTAVIA (Hong Kong) Limited, and OPTAVIA Health Consultation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Medifast is the health and wellness company known for its habit-based and coach-guided lifestyle solution OPTAVIA. The Company has one modern, United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approved manufacturing facility located in Owings Mills, Maryland.

Medifast sells a variety of weight loss, weight management and healthy living products all based on our proprietary formulas under the OPTAVIA, OPTAVIA ACTIVE, and Optimal Health brands. The Company’s product line includes approximately 79 consumable options, including, but not limited to, bars, puffs, cereal, crunchers, drinks, hearty choices, oatmeal, pancakes, pudding, soft serve, shakes, smoothies, soft bakes, and soups. Medifast’s nutritional products are formulated with high-quality ingredients. The processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of the Company’s products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit in financial institutions, institutional money funds and other short-term investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. All credit card and debit card transactions that process in less than seven days are classified as cash and cash equivalents. The amounts due from banks for these transactions classified as cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.8 million as of December 31, 2024, and $3.7 million as of December 31, 2023.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Our cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities are maintained at several financial institutions and the balances with these financial institutions often exceed the amount of insurance provided on such accounts by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The cash and cash equivalents generally are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit, and therefore bear minimal credit risk. Historically, we have not experienced any losses due to such concentration of credit risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, and investments in debt and equity securities. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of investments in available-for-sale debt securities are based on third-party pricing services provided by the Company’s investment advisory firm. The fair value of investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are based on the closing price on the last trading day of the period from the applicable exchange.

Table of Contents

Inventories - Inventories consist principally of raw materials and packaged meal replacements held in the Company’s warehouses and outsourced distribution center. 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.

Investments - The Company’s investments consist of debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities and equity investments with readily determinable fair values.

Available-for-sale debt securities are stated at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related deferred tax effect, are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Interest and dividends on marketable debt securities are recognized in income when declared. Realized gains and losses, if any, are included in income.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are those securities in which the Company has no control or significant influence and is not the primary beneficiary. The securities are stated at fair value based on a quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs (Level 1). Gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company computes depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired as follows:


Building and building improvements			10 - 35 years
Leasehold Improvements (1)			Lease term
Equipment and fixtures			3 - 15 years
Software (2)			2 - 5 years
Vehicles			5 years

(1)The depreciation life for leasehold improvements is the lesser of the estimated useful life or the term of the related lease.

(2)Capitalized costs of cloud software are reported in Other assets on the balance sheet and are amortized over an estimated useful life of 2 to 5 years.

Long-lived Asset Impairment - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Revenue Recognition - Our revenue is derived primarily from point-of-sale transactions executed over an e-commerce platform for weight loss, weight management, and other healthy living products. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those products. When determining whether the customer has obtained control of the products, we consider any future performance obligations.

Table of Contents

Sales returns

Customer reward programs and sales incentives

We reduce the transaction price for certain customer reward programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions, and incentives that represent variable consideration and separate performance obligations. The Company accounts for sales rewards that provide the customer with a material right as a separate performance obligation of the transactions, and therefore allocates consideration between the initial sale of products and the customer reward program and incentive offering.

Shipping and handling costs

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities are treated as a promised service performance obligation and are recorded in revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations upon fulfillment of the performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for the delivery of products to customers are considered a cost to fulfill the contract and are included in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Contract costs

Leases - The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and categorizes leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. All the Company’s leases are operating leases. The right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also consists of any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives received. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense.

Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. They are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising expense, excluding agency fees, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, amounted to $14.1 million, $3.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Research and Development - The Company incurs research and development costs in connection with the development of new products and programs and clinical research activities, which are expensed as incurred. They are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company incurred $4.6 million, $4.6 million, $4.5 million in research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation - Share-based compensation consists primarily of restricted stock awards, performance-based share awards, and stock options granted to employees and directors. Restricted stock awards are measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Performance-based share awards are measured based on the grant-date market price of the Company's common stock adjusted by expected level of achievement over the performance period. Market and performance-based share awards that are tied to the Company's total stockholder return ("TSR") are valued using the Monte Carlo method. The fair value of the incentive stock

Table of Contents

options and non-qualified stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date and recognized over the service period.

Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense.

Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) computations are calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents.

Comprehensive Income - Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, and gains and losses that are not included in net income but rather are recorded directly in stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income consists of net income, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted in 2024

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-03—Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions to (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted the standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The adoption of the standard had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The Company's segment disclosures are reported in Footnote 15.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, including jurisdictional information, by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for all other entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Prospective application is required, though retrospective application is permitted. Entities are permitted to early adopt the standard. The Company did not early adopt for the 2024 reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

7.EQUITY

Authorized Shares

Pursuant to the Company’s Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation, the Company has the authority to issue 21.5 million capital shares consisting of: (i) 20.0 million shares of common stock having a par value of $0.001 per share and (ii) 1.5 million shares of preferred stock having a par value $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 10.9 million and 0 shares of common stock and preferred stock issued, respectively.

Issuance of Additional Common Stock

On June 19, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved the Medifast, Inc. Amended and Restated 2012 Share Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2012 Plan”) that increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be awarded under the Amended and Restated 2012 Plan by 0.5 million, to an aggregate of 2.1 million.

The Company implemented a stock repurchase plan on September 16, 2014 (the “Stock Repurchase Plan”). On September 12, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional 2.0 million shares for repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Plan. The Company repurchased approximately 0 and 31 thousand shares during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock remaining under the Company’s Stock Repurchase Plan. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares of the Company’s common stock, if any, that will be repurchased under the Stock Repurchase Plan.

8.SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options:

The Company has issued non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and non-employee directors. The fair value of these options were 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 December 31, 2024 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

Table of Contents

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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not grant stock options.

The number of stock options and weighted-average exercise prices as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:


	2024			2023
	Awards	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Awards	Weighted-Average Exercise Price
(awards in thousands)
Outstanding at beginning of period	25	$	62.20	32	$	54.98
Exercised	(1)	27.68		(7)	27.40
Forfeited	(2)	26.52		—	—
Outstanding at end of the period	22	$	66.68	25	$	62.20
Exercisable at end of the period	22	$	66.68	25	$	62.20

As of December 31, 2024, the weighted-average remaining contractual life for both outstanding and exercisable stock options was 3.1 years with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0. There was no unrecognized compensation on the awards for the period ended December 31, 2024. The Company received $36 thousand, $188 thousand, and $0 thousand in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $15 thousand, $440 thousand, and $0 thousand, respectively.

Restricted Stock:

The Company has issued restricted stock 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. A summary of outstanding restricted stock activity as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:


	2024			2023
	Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
(shares in thousands)
Outstanding at beginning of period	114	$	127.87	60	$	187.94
Granted	210	32.23		87	97.96
Vested	(35)	138.85		(25)	169.69
Forfeited	(10)	50.31		(8)	133.57
Outstanding at end of the period	279	$	57.21	114	$	127.87

The Company withheld approximately 11 thousand, 9 thousand, and 9 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 years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $1.3 million, $8.3 million, and $3.5 million, respectively.

Market and Performance-based Share Awards:

The Company has issued market and performance-based share awards in 2022 and 2023 and performance-based share awards in 2020, 2021, and 2024 to certain key executives who were granted deferred shares and may earn between 0% and 250% of the target number depending upon both the Company's total stockholder return ("TSR"), for those with market conditions, and the

Table of Contents

Company's performance against predetermined performance goals over a three-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 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 previously estimated achievement 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. Management determined that the market and performance-based share awards granted in March of 2022 would not reach the previously estimated achievement of the predetermined performance goals resulting in a reversal of previously recorded share-based compensation expense of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management also determined that the market and performance-based share awards granted in March of 2023 would not reach the previously estimated achievement of the predetermined performance goals. The Company reversed $1.4 million of previously recorded share-based compensation expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company continues to record stock-based compensation expense on the performance-based share awards granted in March of 2023 at the revised performance factor over the life of the awards.

The Company withheld approximately 8 thousand, 22 thousand, and 0 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock to cover minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of performance-based share awards for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The total fair value of performance-based share awards issued for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $1.3 million, $5.7 million, and $0.0 million respectively.

Share-based compensation expense for all types of awards is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The total expenses during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):


	2024			2023			2022

There was $7.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 20 months. There was $3.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the 47 thousand market and performance-based shares and 117 thousand performance-based shares presented in the table above as of December 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 19 months.

10.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.

On August 12, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act. The two primary tax implications for corporations are a 15% alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) that applies to corporations with at least one billion of pretax income and a one percent surtax on share buybacks. The AMT will not apply to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 since the Company’s pretax income does not exceed the threshold. The share buyback surtax will not apply to the Company as its share issuances exceed its share buybacks for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Inflation Reduction Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

We file income tax returns in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has separate state and foreign net operating loss carry forwards totaling $26.4 million that start expiring in 2029. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the portion of the net operating loss carry forwards which are not expected to be realized.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $7.4 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which would have a net $6.2 million impact on the effective tax rate, if recognized. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $7.5 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which would have a net $6.2 million impact on the effective tax rate, if recognized. The change for both 2024 and 2023 primarily relates to additional gross unrecognized benefits for current tax positions and reductions of gross unrecognized benefits for prior year tax positions and lapses in statute of limitations. The amounts of unrecognized tax benefits were as follows (in thousands):


	December 31, 2024		December 31, 2023

Unrecognized tax benefit at the beginning of the period	$	7,502	$	6,011
Increase for current year tax positions	71		1,744
(Decrease) increase for prior period tax positions	(5)		38
Reduction due to lapse in statute of limitations	(135)		(291)
Unrecognized tax benefit at the end of the period	$	7,433	$	7,502

Table of Contents

The Company recognizes interest and penalty expenses related to unrecognized tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, interest and penalties accrued were $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded expenses related to interest and penalties of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the current year reduction primarily relates to the expiration of federal, state, and foreign statutes of limitation. The Company cannot reasonably project the change in its uncertain tax positions over the next twelve months. Our tax returns are subject to examination by various federal, state, and local tax authorities. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for all tax positions; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than our accrued position. Pending the resolution of one examination, and specific to jurisdictions where the Company has filed tax returns and examination of such returns is constrained by a statute of limitations, we are no longer subject to United States federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2021.

12.COMMITMENTS

Unconditional purchase obligations:

At December 31, 2024, the Company had $10.8 million in unconditional purchase obligations with a remaining term in excess of one year primarily for inventories and outsourced information technology.

13.LEASES

Operating Leases:

The Company has operating leases for office and warehouse space and certain equipment. In certain of the Company’s lease agreements, the rental payments are adjusted periodically based on defined terms within the lease. The Company did not have any finance leases for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Our leases relating to office and warehouse space have lease terms of 65 months to 102 months. Our leases relating to equipment have lease terms of 36 months, with certain of them having clauses relating to automatic renewal clauses.

The Company’s warehouse agreements also contain non-lease components, in the form of payments towards variable logistics services and labor charges, which the Company is obligated to pay based on the services consumed by it. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the lease liability but will be recognized as expense when they are incurred.

The operating lease expense was $4.9 million, $5.1 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

14. DEBT

Credit Agreement

On April 13, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent. On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the borrowing capacity and convert the interest rate to be based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) ("the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement provided for a $225.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit. The Amended Credit Agreement also provided for an uncommitted incremental facility that permitted the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the senior secured revolving credit facility by up to $100.0 million. The Credit Agreement otherwise would have matured on April 13, 2026.

The Company had no borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023. On October 30, 2024, the Company terminated its Amended Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A. The Company had no borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, inclusive of the credit facility and letter of credit sublimit as of the termination date.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company's OPTAVIA segment derives revenues from customers through the sale of OPTAVIA products which are shipped directly to customers. Our OPTAVIA coaches help customers 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 that also is reported on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. The CODM uses net income to evaluate income 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 is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income 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 Company has one reportable segment: OPTAVIA. 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 OPTAVIA 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 years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 (in thousands):

16. SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION

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 assets within the facility were sold during the year ended December 31, 2024, with the impact reflected below as the loss of impairment of equipment held for sale. The Company identified certain other supply chain assets at other locations within its distribution network that will no longer be utilized and are no longer useful to the Company’s operations, and adjusted their respective useful lives accordingly, with the impact reflected below in the accelerated depreciation charges.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the components of the Company’s supply chain optimization charges were as follows:


	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024

Loss on impairment of equipment held for sale	$	2,499
Accelerated depreciation charges	9,190

Non-cash charges for supply chain optimization	11,689
One-time severance costs	813
Total supply chain optimization	$	12,502

The net book value of the building and land is $1.4 million. The fair value of assets exceed their carrying value and no impairment was recognized. The assets are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

There were no disagreements with the Company’s independent auditors, regarding accounting and financial disclosures for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions, providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements, providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of Company assets are made in accordance with management authorization, and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, was audited by RSM US LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing in our 2024 financial statements in Item 8 of this report under the captions entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Table of Contents

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, none of our officers or directors adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”

MEDIFAST, INC.

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

I.Purpose, Scope, Compliance, and Definitions & Explanations

A.Overview and Purpose

This Insider Trading Policy (the “Policy”) is intended to promote compliance with applicable securities laws and to provide the directors, officers (as such term is defined pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), and employees of Medifast, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Medifast” or the “Company”) with procedures and guidelines with respect to transactions in the securities of the Company (“Company Securities”) and other public companies in order to preserve the reputation and integrity of Medifast as well as that of all persons affiliated with it.

The Company is committed to maintaining a transparent and ethical corporate environment, and adherence to this Policy is essential to upholding the confidence of investors, regulatory authorities, and the public in the fairness and integrity of the financial markets.

B.Scope

This Policy applies broadly to all directors, officers and employees of the Company and any of their Family Members (as defined below). This policy also applies to any affiliate, subsidiary, or other entity controlled by the Company, temporary personnel, agents, advisors and contract-basis personnel (together with directors, officers, employees and Family Members, “Employees”), whether located in the United States or abroad. This Policy applies to all trading or other transactions in (i) the Company’s securities, including common stock, options and any other securities that the Company may issue, such as preferred stock, notes, bonds and convertible securities, as well as to derivative securities relating to any of the Company’s securities, whether or not issued by the Company and (ii) the securities of certain other companies, including common stock, options and other securities issued by those companies as well as derivative securities relating to any of those companies securities, where the person trading used information obtained while working for the Company.

C.Compliance

All Employees are responsible for complying with this established Policy and annually acknowledging receipt and compliance with this Policy.

The interpretation, revision, amendment, and specific application of this Policy are the responsibility of the Legal department. This policy will be reviewed on an annual basis, and any updates shall be reviewed and approved by the Policy Committee.

All records acquired or produced under this Policy will be kept confidential to the extent possible and will be retained by the Legal department in accordance with the Records Management & Retention Policy at CP 1002.

If Employees have any questions about the appropriateness of securities transactions under this Policy, they should consult with the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) or Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”). In addition, Employees may not trade in the Company’s securities without obtaining pre-approval from the CFO and CLO. Failure to comply with this Policy from the effective day of this Policy could result in disciplinary action up to termination.

D.Definitions and Explanations

1.Insider: An individual who possesses MNPI relating to a company. Insiders include the Company’s directors, officers, employees, independent contractors, and individuals with a special relationship with the Company, e.g., its auditors, consultants, or attorneys. The definition of an insider is transaction-specific; that is, an individual is an insider with respect to each MNPI of which he or she is aware.

2.Trading: For purposes of this Policy, this includes purchases or sales of a publicly traded company’s securities.

3.Insider Trading: When company insiders purchase or sell securities in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, while in possession of MNPI. Insider trading violations may also include “tipping,” (as defined in I.D.10 below) MNPI to others, trading by the “tippee,” or recipient of MNPI, and trading by those who misappropriate such information.

4.Material, Non-Public Information (“MNPI”):

“Material” information generally is any information that a reasonable investor would consider important in a decision to purchase, hold, or sell stock that is not released to the public. In short, it is any information that could reasonably affect the price of the stock. Either positive or negative information may be material.

Common examples of information that are generally regarded as material information include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Financials: interim and annual financial information and performance (such as revenue, expenses, earnings, etc.) prior to public earnings release; projections of future earnings or losses; errors in previously issued financial statements that

Page 2 of 9

make those financial statements unreliable; major changes in accounting methodologies; unannounced redemption or repurchase of Company’s securities; significant write-offs; and increases in reserves or material asset impairments.

•Operations: Unannounced new deals, new products or vendor relationships; undisclosed pending or proposed merger, acquisition, tender offer or other significant business transactions; significant sale of assets or the disposition of a subsidiary; gain or loss of a significant independent Optavia coach, customer, or supplier; impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems; and significant developments in actual or threatened litigation.

•Management: changes in management; and changes in the Board of Directors.

•Investor Relations: changes in dividend policies; declaration of a stock split or the offering of additional securities; new equity or debt offerings; an agreement with a government agency to conclude an investigation of the Company to settle any issues resulting from an investigation.

•Internal Control: change in the Company’s external auditor; sale of unregistered equity securities; waiver of a provision of the Company’s Code of Ethics for Senior Management.

Information is “nonpublic” if it is not available to the general public. In order for information to be considered public, it must have been disclosed in the Company’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or widely disseminated in a manner making it generally available to investors through such media as Dow Jones, Reuters Economic Services, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, or United Press International. The circulation of rumors, even if accurate, does not constitute information that is adequately available to the general public since the public does not know whether the rumor is accurate.

5.Securities: Include the Company’s common stock; preferred stock; options, warrants, and other rights to purchase Company’s stock; convertible debt issued by the Company; and derivatives of Company’s securities. Stock options or other equity-based awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan are subject to all the restrictions of this Policy, including any non-stock incentive (such as a stock appreciation right or cash-settled stock) whose value is tied to the market price of the Company’s stock.

6.Blackout Periods

Regular Blackout Periods: A period of time during which this Policy prohibits Employees from trading MED securities. Blackout periods generally cover times when Insiders are aware of or likely to be aware of MNPI, such as the periods during which the Company’s quarterly or annual financial results are being prepared and disseminated. Generally, blackout periods begin 15 calendar days before the fiscal quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each fiscal year and end 24 hours after the earnings release. However, if there is less than ten

Page 3 of 9

available trading days between each blackout period, the trading window may extend and stay open until 10 calendar days before the end of the quarter.

Additional Blackout Periods: The Company, through its CLO and CFO, may impose additional blackout periods in which trading in the Company’s securities will be prohibited as deemed necessary when other material events occur. Because the events that give rise to the additional blackout periods may be known by only a few individuals, the Company may limit the additional blackout period’s application to the individuals who possess MNPI about the event and individuals who would appear to an outsider to have had access to or been aware of MNPI related to the event. This will occur when there are non-public developments that are considered material for insider trading law purposes, such as developments relating to regulatory proceedings or a major corporate transaction, among other things. If the Company notifies affected individuals, they should not engage in any transactions involving the Company’s securities and should not disclose to others of such suspension of trading.

7.Trading Windows: Trading windows are not “safe harbors” that ensure compliance with securities laws. Insiders remain responsible for their trades and should use good judgment at all times. Accordingly, even during trading window periods, if an Insider is in possession of MNPI about the Company, they are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities.

8.10b5-1 Plan Approval Requirement and Exception for Approved 10b5-1 Plan: The trading restrictions in this Policy do not apply to transactions under a written plan, contract, instruction or arrangement under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “10b5-1 Plan”) that complies with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, is entered into during an open trading window and at a time when the Insider entering into the 10b5-1 Plan is not aware of MNPI, and that such Insider or their broker has sent to the CLO (which will coordinate any additional departmental reviews) for review and approval of in advance of any trades being made.

9.Corporation Securities Underlying Awards: This Policy’s trading restrictions do not apply to the extent the Company is required to withhold taxes in connection with the vesting or delivery of the Company’s securities underlying restricted stock units, performance shares or other awards received under any of the Company’s long-term incentive plans. This Policy’s trading restrictions do apply, however, to any market sale, gift, or other disposition of Corporation Securities received following the vesting of any restricted stock units, performance shares or other awards under any of the Company’s incentive plans.

10.Tipping Information to Others: Employees may be liable for communicating or “tipping” material, nonpublic information to any third party (a “tippee”), regardless of whether the tippee is a Family Member. Further, insider trading violations are not limited to trading or tipping by insiders. Persons other than insiders also can be liable for insider trading, including tippees who trade on material, nonpublic information

Page 4 of 9

tipped to them and individuals who trade on material, nonpublic information which has been misappropriated.

Tippees inherit an insider’s duties and are liable for trading on material, nonpublic information illegally tipped to them by an insider. Similarly, just as insiders are liable for the insider trading of their tippees, so are tippees who pass the information along to others who trade. In other words, a tippee’s liability for insider trading is no different from that of an insider. Tippees can obtain material, nonpublic information by receiving explicit tips from others or from unintentional disclosure through, among other things, conversations at social, business or other gatherings.

11.Family Members: Includes the spouse, minor children or anyone else living in an insider’s household; partnerships in which an insider is a general partner; trusts of which an insider is a trustee; estates of which an insider is an executor; and any other legal entities controlled by an Insider. The same restrictions apply to family members and other individuals living in Employee’s households.

12.When Information is Public: Even after a public announcement of material information, a reasonable period of time must elapse in order for the market to react to the information. Employees may not trade on publicly announced material information until two full trading days after an announcement. For example, if an announcement is made before the commencement of trading on a Monday, an employee may trade in the Company’s securities starting on Wednesday of that week, because two full trading days would have elapsed by then (all of Monday and Tuesday). If an announcement is made after trading begins on a Monday, employees may not trade in the Company’s securities until Thursday. If the announcement is made on Friday after trading begins, employees may not trade in the Company’s securities until Wednesday of the following week.

13.Twenty-Twenty Hindsight: If securities transactions become the subject of scrutiny, they will be viewed by enforcement authorities and others after the fact, with the benefit of hindsight. As a result, before engaging in any transaction an insider should carefully consider how the transaction and whether the information was material may be construed in the bright light of hindsight.

14.Rule 144 Affiliate: Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, an affiliate is a person, such as an executive officer, a director or large shareholder, in a relationship of control with the issuer. Rule 144 Affiliates are required to comply with additional regulations and have certain additional restrictions surrounding trading of a company’s securities.

II.Insider Trading Policy

A.Background

Page 5 of 9

Insider trading, including tipping, is a violation of federal law and a crime. Federal law also penalizes companies and other “controlling persons” if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading. Congress expanded the authority of the SEC and the Justice Department when it adopted the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988. While the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) prohibits insider trading, the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act specifies the penalties for these prohibited activities (referenced in Section IV below). Because insider trading undermines investor confidence in the fairness and integrity of the securities markets, the SEC has treated the detection and prosecution of insider trading violations as one of its enforcement priorities.

B.Company Employees

Company’s employees may from time to time be in possession of MNPI concerning the Company. Under federal securities laws, such individuals are prohibited from trading MED stock while in possession of such inside information and may not otherwise use the information for their own advantage or the advantage of others. Violations of this Policy may subject those involved to disciplinary action, up to and including termination, as well as severe civil or criminal penalties (see Section IV. below). Any such proceedings would result in adverse publicity and embarrassment to the Company and the individuals involved.

If any Employee has MNPI about the Company, then the individual and any related individual (e.g., living in the same household or those who may the recipient of tipped information) may not:

•Buy or sell the Company’s securities;

•Buy or sell Securities of any related or economically linked company; and

•Engage in any other action to take advantage of, or pass onto others, that information.

The same prohibition applies to trades in any other company’s securities if, in the course of employment, the Employee obtains or is in possession of MNPI about that company.

Employees are also prohibited from entering into hedging, monetization transactions or similar arrangements involving the Company’s securities as these transactions allow the individual to continue to own the securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership.

Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure) are no exceptions to this Policy.

C.Section 16 Officers

In accordance with 1934 Act, a Section 16 officer is defined as a company’s: president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer; any vice-president of the issuer in

Page 6 of 9

charge of a principal business unit, division or function; any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions.

The Board of Directors is responsible for formally designating which members of management are considered to be Section 16 officers. This designation is made by a formal board resolution as updates are required. The Corporate Secretary shall be responsible for maintaining the current Section 16 designation.

Section 16 officers must obtain pre-approval from the CFO and CLO before he/she makes any purchases or sales of the Company’s securities. Each proposed transaction will be evaluated to determine if it raises insider trading concerns or other concerns under the federal or state securities laws and regulations, then approved prior to the Section 16 officer proceeding with the transaction. Any advice will relate solely to the restraints imposed by this Policy and any laws and will not constitute advice regarding the investment aspects of any proposed transactions.

D.The Company’s Transactions

From time to time, the Company may engage in transactions in its own securities. It is the Company's policy that any transactions in securities by the Company will comply with applicable laws with respect to insider trading and this Insider Trading Policy.

III.Pledging Shares and SEC’s Reporting Requirements

A.Policy on Pledging Shares

This policy prohibits our executives and non-employee directors from pledging MED stock as collateral for a loan or holding our securities in a margin account.

B.SEC Reporting Requirements

Under the 1934 Act, Section 16 officers must file the following forms with the SEC to report an initial statement and changes in ownership regarding the Company’s securities. If a Section 16 officer so chooses, the Company will prepare and file these forms on their behalf by utilizing a signed Power of Attorney to facilitate the filing. Section 16 Officers may contact the Legal department to obtain and sign the Power of Attorney form.

•Form 3: Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities

Represents the initial filing when a company’s Section 16 officer registers their company’s securities for the first time within ten days of becoming the company’s officer, director, or beneficial owner. The form must still be filed even when the individual owns zero shares. As noted above at Section II.C., as the Company’s officers or directors are designated by a formal board resolution, the ten-day

Page 7 of 9

deadline to file with the SEC does not start until the actual board resolution occurs.

•Form 4: Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership

Represents any changes in ownership and must be reported to the SEC within two business days following any grant or open market transaction. The grant date is defined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee. If an Employee elects to have taxes withheld from a Company grant, this form is due two days following the later of the vesting date of the award or the date shares are withheld to cover the individual’s taxes.

•Form 5: Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities

Represents any transactions that should have been reported earlier on a Form 4, were eligible for deferred reporting or any section 16a exempt transactions (such as gifting of shares). This form is due 45 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year.

•Form 144: Notice of Proposed Sale of Securities Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933

Must be filed with the SEC by a company’s Rule 144 Affiliate as a notice of a proposed sale of securities when the amount to be sold under Rule 144 during any three-month period exceeds 5,000 shares or units or has an aggregate sales price in excess of $50,000. A person filing a Form 144 must have a bona fide intention to sell the securities referred to in the form within a reasonable time after the filing of the form. An individual’s intent to sell must be reported to the CFO and CLO, who will validate whether the individual satisfied the time requirements (generally, a six-month period for Section 16 officers) and that the individual is no longer an affiliate.

Note: As SEC rules and interpretations under Section 16 are complex and do not depend on whether an individual has MNPI, Section 16 officers are encouraged to seek the advice of the CFO or CLO prior to any transactions.

IV. Consequences

The consequences of insider trading violations can be staggering.

For example, individuals who trade on inside information (or tip information to others) can face consequences such as: (i) a civil penalty of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided; (ii) a criminal fine (no matter how small the profit) up to $5 million; and (iii) a jail term of up to twenty years.

Additionally, a company (as well as possibly any supervisory person) where appropriate steps to prevent illegal trading have not been taken, could face consequences such as: (i) a

Page 8 of 9

civil penalty not to exceed the greater of $1 million or three times the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the employee’s violation; and (ii) a criminal penalty up to $25 million.

Moreover, if anyone violates the Company’s insider trading policy, Company-imposed sanctions, including termination, could result. Any of the above consequences, even an SEC investigation that does not result in prosecution, can tarnish a reputation, and irreparably damage a career.

Examples of insider trading cases that have been brought to the SEC are cases against:

•Corporate officers, directors, and employees who traded the corporation’s securities after learning of significant, confidential corporate developments.

•Friends, business associates, family members, and other “tippees” of such officers, directors, and employees, who traded the securities after receiving such information.

•Employees of law, banking, brokerage, and printing firms who were given such information to provide services to the corporation whose securities they traded.

•Government employees who learned of such information because of their employment by the government.

•Other persons who misappropriated, and took advantage of, confidential information from their employers.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

Investments - The Company’s investments consist of debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities and equity investments with readily determinable fair values.


Building and building improvements			10 - 35 years
Leasehold Improvements (1)			Lease term
Equipment and fixtures			3 - 15 years
Software (2)			2 - 5 years

options and non-qualified stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date and recognized over the service period.

The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	We have established processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and have integrated these cybersecurity processes into our overall risk management system. Specifically, we have adopted a cybersecurity framework that, where appropriate, aligns with the NIST's Cybersecurity Framework, and we have maintained systems that, where appropriate, are PCI compliant under current standards. We regularly review our Incident Response Plans to ensure readiness if and when an incident does occur, including through live testing via planned and surprise tabletop exercises. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, if a system does become non-operational, we maintain disaster recovery capabilities to return to normal operation in a timely manner. Our cybersecurity processes to assess and identify cybersecurity risks includes periodic risk assessments, deployment of security monitoring tools for continuous monitoring of our information systems, periodic testing for vulnerabilities in our systems, periodic testing of employees’ cybersecurity awareness, receiving cybersecurity alerts, among other procedures. Our Information Security (“IS”) department, which reports to the Vice President, Information Security, evaluates cybersecurity risks and works to design and ensure implementation of appropriate controls and safeguards in alignment with our business objectives and operational needs. Management periodically reviews cybersecurity risks as part of the overall risks to the company as part of the enterprise risk management program. This review helps in identifying areas for improvement and ensuring the alignment of cybersecurity efforts with the overall risk management framework. We engage various third parties to assess, test, or assist with the implementation of our risk management strategies, policies, and procedures to enhance our detection and management of cybersecurity risks, including but not limited to: consultants who assist with assessing risks, assist with our PCI compliance assessments, assess our systems alignment with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and test and/or scan for vulnerabilities. We rely on software, hardware, and network systems, including cloud-based technology, that are either developed by us or licensed from or maintained by third parties to maintain operations. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and utilize proprietary and customer information and data. We utilize systems designed to protect customer information and prevent fraudulent transactions and other security breaches. We rely on third-party software products to secure our credit card transactions. Furthermore, we maintain a process to evaluate and manage risks associated with third-party service providers. We conduct cybersecurity assessments of our key vendors before engagement, maintain continued monitoring during the engagement, and maintain the ability to discontinue our engagement with a key vendor if their cybersecurity posture fails to meet pre-established standards.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Use of Estimates

Commitments and Contingencies

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.

Share-Based Compensation

options and non-qualified stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date and recognized over the service period.

Income Taxes

The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense.
