On February 20, 2024, Teladoc filed its annual report for 2023 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and held an earnings call to discuss the Company’s results. Among other items, Teladoc’s annual report disclosed substantially higher advertising costs, reporting advertising and marketing spend of approximately $668.854 million, compared to $623.536 million in 2022. Teladoc attributed the increase to “higher digital and media advertising costs related to BetterHelp”, the Company’s online mental health counseling platform and its largest division. Teladoc further disclosed that BetterHelp revenue fell by $1 million compared to the year prior and by $10 million between the third and fourth quarters of 2023. Teladoc also reported that BetterHelp lost members for two consecutive quarters, despite the Company’s increased advertising spend.
On this news, Teladoc’s stock price fell $4.85 per share, or 23.67%, to close at $15.64 per share on February 21, 2024.
