The call highlighted positive developments like the successful launch of OPTAVIA ASCEND and cost-saving initiatives. However, these were overshadowed by significant challenges, including a steep decline in revenue and active earning coaches, and ongoing customer acquisition difficulties due to the rise of GLP-1 medications. While there are signs of stabilization in coach productivity, the overall sentiment leans towards concern over the company's current trajectory.
Company Guidance
During the Medifast Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call, guidance for 2025 focused on several key metrics and priorities. The company emphasized the importance of coach productivity, noting a sequential improvement in revenue per active earning coach, which declined by 5.5% in Q4 2024 compared to a 22.2% decline in Q1 2024. Medifast aims to accelerate customer acquisition and improve coach productivity, leveraging new education resources. They also plan to advance clinical research on the outcomes of customers using OPTAVIA programs alongside GLP-1 medications. The launch of OPTAVIA ASCEND, which featured in 17% of customer orders in January, aims to support customers on GLP-1 medications. Medifast is targeting an additional $15 million to $20 million in cost savings for 2025, following $21 million saved in 2024 through their Fuel for the Future initiatives. Financially, Q4 2024 revenue was $119 million with an EPS of $0.07. The company expects Q1 2025 revenue between $100 million to $120 million and anticipates an EPS range from $0.00 to a loss of $0.50 per share.
OPTAVIA ASCEND Launch and Positive Reception
The OPTAVIA ASCEND product line launched in December 2024, targeting GLP-1 medication users and those managing weight loss. It was well received, with 17% of customer orders in January including ASCEND products, indicating strong initial traction.
Cost Reduction Success
The Fuel for the Future initiative delivered $21 million in cost savings in 2024, exceeding initial targets, with an expectation of an additional $15 million to $20 million in savings in 2025.
Improvement in Coach Productivity
There was a third consecutive quarter of moderating declines in revenue per active earning coach, improving from a negative 22.2% in Q1 2024 to a negative 5.5% in Q4 2024.
