NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary care and pharmacy services, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Management Commentary

“We ended the quarter with approximately 350,000 active subscribers, up 13% from a year ago and nearly flat from the second quarter, despite spending $9.5 million less on marketing,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and CEO of LifeMD. “We’re helping more people access high-quality healthcare, and we’re getting more efficient at doing it. From May to September, cost per acquisition fell 32% while monthly media spend declined 45%. Adjusted EBITDA improved approximately $3.1 million sequentially to roughly breakeven, and we expect to sustain or improve these unit economics going forward.

“Revenue of $44.6 million was below our guidance, and we are resetting our outlook for the fourth quarter and full year. We deliberately reduced marketing spend and prioritized longer patient commitments, and our partnerships took longer to ramp than we expected. Those factors weighed on revenue this quarter, but we believe our decisions put us in a stronger position to grow profitably.

“Our pharmacy has begun dispensing branded GLP-1 medications from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. Our exclusive relationship with AT&T gives its 100 million wireless and fiber customers and 110,000 U.S. employees access to our healthcare and pharmacy services. We also made significant progress on our enterprise healthcare offering, which we will begin marketing to businesses across the country in the fourth quarter. Our women’s health program continued to improve, and we added experienced leadership to accelerate its growth. Our focus now is turning this work into revenue growth while maintaining the operating discipline we established this quarter.”

“Gross margin was approximately 82% in the quarter, compared with approximately 89% in the second quarter and 85% a year ago. The decline primarily reflects a change in presentation, not economics: under our new branded fulfillment arrangements, medications fulfilled by our own pharmacy are recognized on a gross revenue basis,” said Atul Kavthekar, Chief Financial Officer of LifeMD. “We reduced selling and marketing expense by $9.5 million sequentially to $18.5 million. General and administrative expense increased slightly from the second quarter to $14.7 million, reflecting clinical capacity added to support our new partnerships, partially offset by efficiencies in non-clinical functions. We ended the quarter with $21.9 million of cash and no debt. Subsequent to quarter end, we closed a $12.5 million non-convertible senior secured term loan with Avenue Capital. It replaces our prior revolving credit facility and gives us significantly greater flexibility to fund the working capital our branded fulfillment arrangements may require.”

About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of this financial measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that this financial measure is a useful financial metric 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 net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc. common stockholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, extraordinary litigation costs, severance and restructuring costs, acquisition expenses, insurance acceptance readiness expenses, preferred stock dividends, stock-based compensation expense, net income from discontinued operations and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of discontinued operations. We have provided below a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc. common stockholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We believe the above financial measure is commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA 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.
