Management Commentary
“During the second quarter 2022, LifeMD made significant progress against several of our most important strategic initiatives. These include driving our Adjusted EBITDA loss under $1 million in the month of June, beginning to scale Virtual Primary Care, generating a substantial increase in new patient volumes from recently launched telehealth indications and driving an 8% year-over-year improvement in our first year LTV-CAC ratio. In addition, during the quarter we made substantial progress on the divestiture of our non-core WorkSimpli business and remain confident that we can execute a transaction by year end. We highlighted many of these achievements and others in our second quarter Supplemental Investor Highlights Presentation made available after market close on the LifeMD Investor Relations site,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman & CEO of LifeMD. “While we expect these achievements to position us for long-term profitable growth and shareholder value creation, we anticipate moderated sequential growth over the next two quarters in our core telehealth business as we transition more of our revenue to longer-term subscriptions with stronger unit economics and continue to scale our newly launched virtual primary care business. Importantly, executing upon these strategic initiatives is helping LifeMD transition from a rapidly scaling direct-to-patient telehealth products provider to a rapidly scaling, profitable and differentiated telehealth services company.”

LifeMD CFO Marc Benathen, commented: “As noted in our second quarter Supplemental Investor Highlights Presentation available on our Investor Relations site, most of our Q2 loss was concentrated within the month of April. During the quarter, we made significant progress toward maximizing our unit economics through improved returns on our marketing investment and successfully reduced our Adjusted EBITDA loss to less than $1 million in June. During the quarter, we also made considerable progress in the process to divest our non-core subsidiary, WorkSimpli, and remain confident that we will be able close a transaction before the end of this year. Given our significant focus on continuing to diversify our telehealth revenue by investing in and growing newly launched indications, scaling Virtual Primary Care and driving longer-term subscriptions with more spaced-out re-billings, we expect sequential revenue growth for the next two quarters in our telehealth business to be more moderated. We expect to emerge from this period well-positioned to drive more accelerated top and bottom-line growth as a leading, differentiated direct-to-patient telehealth company. As such, while we reiterate our previous Adjusted EBITDA profitability guidance, we are revising our consolidated Revenue guidance to $122 to $128 million for 2022.”

Q2 2022 Financial Summary

• Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased 37% to $30.5 million from $22.3 million in 2021.

About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) attributable to common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, financing transaction expense, inventory valuation, litigation costs, gain on debt forgiveness, preferred stock dividends, acquisition costs, severance expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss attributable to common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Adjusted EPS is defined as the diluted net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, financing transaction expense, inventory valuation, litigation costs, preferred stock dividends, acquisition costs, severance expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to Diluted loss per share attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We believe the above financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may vary from that of others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss per share, operating loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance.
