LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary
care, today provided 2024 financial guidance highlighted by
significant expected growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA driven
by its GLP-1 weight management business, continued growth and
profitability in its lifestyle healthcare businesses led by RexMD,
strong performance in its WorkSimpli subsidiary, and the launch of
new offerings.
“LifeMD entered 2024 with tremendous business momentum. We
expect to build significantly upon the performance we achieved
during 2023 across all our businesses including our weight
management business, RexMD, and our non-core subsidiary,
WorkSimpli. We expect strong growth in our weight management
business in 2024 driven by an increase in the availability of GLP-1
medications, potential reductions in the price of GLP-1 medications
and/or expansion of payor coverage, and LifeMD's launch of private
insurance based programs. Additionally, we plan to dramatically
expand the telehealth products and services offered under our RexMD
brand, which we anticipate will increase the lifetime value of
existing patients and attract new ones to RexMD. We are highly
optimistic about our strategic alliance with Medifast, and expect
that this and other new offerings will be material contributors to
our results in the years to come with the potential to drive upside
to our 2024 guidance,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of LifeMD.
“Our 2024 financial guidance reflects the continued strength of
our current offerings, led by our weight management business and
RexMD. We expect 2024’s topline growth rate to be above our target
of 30% while generating significant improvements in adjusted EBITDA
and GAAP earnings along with steadily expanding margins, which we
expect to accelerate in the second half of the year. Our balance
sheet is the strongest it’s ever been with cash at year-end 2023
expected to exceed $30 million and increasing free cash flow. We
remain laser-focused on leveraging the strength of our leading
telehealth platform, our product and service offerings, and our
balance sheet to generate value for our shareholders in 2024 and
beyond,” commented Marc Benathen, Chief Financial Officer of
LifeMD.

- Revenue to be between $195 and $205 million and represents a
31% to 38% increase over the midpoint of 2023 guidance.
- Adjusted EBITDA to be between $18 and $22 million, representing
an increase of 71% to 110% over the midpoint of 2023 guidance.
