Bret Christensen, Biote Chief Executive Officer, stated, Over the past fifteen months, Biote achieved
significant progress, which we believe will help us succeed in building a strong foundation for growth in the years ahead. With the phased launch of the BioteRx platform and the roll-out of our upgraded
clinical decision support software, we strengthened our competitive moat and broadened our capabilities to more comprehensively address the growing market for hormone optimization and therapeutic wellness. Additionally, we continued our efforts to
optimize our manufacturing efficiency and strengthen our supply chain through the integration and growth of Asteria Health. Biote continues to generate strong operating cash flow while also investing in future growth.
2024 Fourth Quarter Financial Review
(All financial
result comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted)
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $49.8 million, an
increase of 9.0% from $45.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Procedure revenue grew 5.0%, primarily reflecting growth at established top-tier clinics. As expected, fourth quarter procedure revenue
growth was negatively impacted by two headwinds: 1) a reduction in procedure volume as clinics transitioned to our upgraded clinical decision support software introduced in the third quarter of 2024; and 2) our focus on training our existing
practitioners, which impacted our ability to add new clinics at the expected rate. Dietary supplement revenue grew 10.2%, benefiting from the transition of a portion of this business to our e-commerce platform
on Amazon.
Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 71.8% compared to 69.4% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in gross profit
margin was primarily due to the vertical integration of our 503B manufacturing facility and effective cost management.
Operating income for the fourth
quarter of 2024 was $2.8 million, compared to $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased due to employee-related investments and additional legal expenses.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $3.5 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $0.10, compared to
net income of $12.1 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $0.18. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023 included a loss of $0.8 million and a gain of $5.4 million, respectively,
due to a change in the fair value of the earnout liabilities.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $15.1 million, with an Adjusted
EBITDA margin of 30.3%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.6 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.7%. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected the operating leverage in our
business model.
