IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Biote (NASDAQ: BTMD), a leading solutions provider in preventive health care through the delivery of personalized hormone therapy, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter Highlights, year over year:

• Revenue of $44.5 million, an 18.5% increase.
• Net income of $12.8 million and fully diluted GAAP earnings per share of $0.18.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $13.1 million, a 40% increase.¹

Full Year 2022 Highlights, year over year:

• Revenue of $165.0 million, an 18.3% increase.
• Net income of $1.3 million and fully diluted GAAP loss per share of $(0.12).
• Adjusted EBITDA of $50.1 million, up 24.6%.²
• Continued to execute growth strategy to capture large market opportunity for both providers and patients

"Biote achieved record financial results in the fourth quarter and for the full 2022 year, driven by strong growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, which were at the high end of our guidance," said Biote Chief Executive Officer Terry Weber. "Our financial performance reflected successful execution of our growth strategy, as we further built our sales team and practitioner network in both existing and new geographic markets. Consumers increasingly seek treatment for many age-related symptoms often caused by hormonal imbalances, and the effectiveness of the Biote method continues to spur patient demand for the customized therapies offered by Biote-certified providers. As we strive to make the Biote brand synonymous with hormone replacement therapy, we remain dedicated to broadening public awareness by advancing the science and research supporting hormone optimization."

Ms. Weber continued, "In early January, we successfully completed a secondary offering of Biote Class A common stock, representing an important milestone in our journey as a public company. This transaction not only significantly increased the liquidity of our publicly traded shares, but also broadened institutional ownership of our shares. As a management team, we remain focused on building long-term shareholder value through profitable growth."

2022 Fourth Quarter Financial Review

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $44.5 million, an increase of 18.5% from $37.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by continued growth in both procedures and dietary supplements revenue, despite lingering weather-related impacts in Florida and Puerto Rico.

Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 65.3% compared to 64.0% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to effective cost management.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $7.3 million, an increase of 23.3% from $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in operating income reflected increased profitability on higher sales, partially offset by higher SG&A expense.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $12.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net income increased due to the improvement in operating income and a favorable impact from transaction-related items, partially offset by increased interest expense. The net change in the fair value adjustments to warrant and earnout liabilities was $7.5 million in the fourth quarter, as compared to no such impact in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $13.1 million compared to $9.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The 40% increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the growth in revenue as well as the positive leverage in our business model that enables profit to grow faster than revenue.³

2022 Full Year Financial Review

Revenue for 2022 was $165.0 million, an increase of 18.3% from $139.4 million in 2021. The increase was driven by continued growth in both procedures and dietary supplements revenue.

Gross profit margin for 2022 was 66.9% compared to 65.0% for 2021. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to a more favorable product mix.

Operating loss for 2022 was $(60.7) million, compared to operating income of $34.6 million for 2021. Operating loss in 2022 reflected the impact of $21.6 million in transaction-related costs and $82.2 million in stock compensation expense. Excluding these costs, operating income would have been $43.1 million in 2022.

Net income for 2022 was $1.3 million, or a loss of $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $32.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 was $50.1 million compared to $40.2 million for 2021. The 24.6% increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the growth in revenue and the positive operating leverage in our business model.⁴

2023 Financial Outlook

"Biote's annuity-like business model provides good visibility into our projected financial performance. In 2023 we anticipate continued growth in both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, as we further build our market presence and practitioner network. We are investing to strengthen our infrastructure and capabilities while continuing to expand our sales team," said Ms. Weber.

"Our 2023 financial forecast assumes stronger revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA performance in the second half of the year as we begin to benefit from the contributions of sales personnel added at the end of last year," concluded Ms. Weber.

($ in millions)	2023 Guidance Range
Revenue	$190-$200
Adjusted EBITDA	$56-$60

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, Biote has disclosed Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that it calculates as net income before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, transaction-related expenses, fair value adjustments to certain equity instruments classified as liabilities and other non-operating costs. Below we have provided a reconciliation of net income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to Adjusted EBITDA.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and determine payments under compensation programs. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for assets;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by Biote's management about which expenses are excluded or included. A reconciliation is provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results.
