IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Biote (NASDAQ: BTMD), a leader in innovative hormone optimization and healthy aging solutions that advance the healthspan of our practitioners’ patients, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
“During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to advance our strategic priorities and remained focused on our key objective of restoring sustainable procedure revenue growth,” said Bret Christensen, Biote’s Chief Executive Officer. “Leading indicators of future performance, including the number of newly trained practitioners and new clinic growth, are moving in the right direction, reinforcing our conviction in our strategic initiatives. We remain committed to investing in our commercial organization, and I am pleased to report we are nearing our stated goal of approximately 120 sales representatives.”
Mr. Christensen continued, “First quarter financial results were impacted by supply constraints related to the voluntary recall of certain hormone pellet products. We are increasing inventory levels to ensure continuity of care throughout our clinic network. We continue to emphasize consistent operational execution, supporting our growing network of practitioners and positioning the company for durable, long-term growth.”
2026 First Quarter Financial Review
(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted)
Total revenue was $44.9 million, a decrease of 8.3% from $49.0 million. Procedure revenue declined 13.2% to $31.3 million, and was impacted by the voluntary recall of certain hormone pellets shipped by Asteria Health. Dietary supplements revenue grew 19.1% to $11.0 million.
Gross profit margin was 68.9%, as compared to 74.3%, as a result of impacts from the voluntary recall, which included the sourcing of replacement products from our third-party pellet suppliers at higher costs and reduced manufacturing efficiencies at Asteria Health.
| 1Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “Discussion of non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure. |
Operating income declined to $3.2 million, from $9.7 million. Operating income decreased due to lower sales and gross profit, as well as higher operating expenses.
Net income was $2.7 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders was $0.06, as compared to net income of $15.8 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $0.37. Net income included a gain of $2.1 million and $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the earnout liabilities.
Adjusted EBITDA of $8.7 million decreased 36.6% from $13.8 million, while Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 19.4% from 28.1%. Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased from the prior year quarter due to lower sales, reduced gross profit and higher operating expenses.
Summary and 2026 Financial Outlook
Mr. Christensen concluded, “I am pleased with the progress and structural improvements we have achieved as an organization over the trailing twelve months. Although we expect to continue to experience headwinds in the second quarter from our voluntary product recall, I believe our strategic actions and investments are laying the groundwork for improved financial performance as the year progresses. As we expect our commercial investments to begin to translate into productivity gains, we continue to anticipate a return to procedure revenue growth in the second half of the year, consistent with our 2026 guidance provided in March.”

2026 Guidance |
||
Revenue |
Above $190 million |
||
Adjusted EBITDA2 |
Above $38 million |
- Procedure revenue is expected to return to growth in the second half of 2026, unchanged from prior guidance. Based on current trends, we now expect first half procedure revenue growth to be moderately lower than previously forecast due to the temporary impact of the voluntary product recall and related supply constraints.
- 2026 Dietary supplements revenue is expected to grow at a mid to high single digit rate from 2025, unchanged from prior guidance.

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, litigation expenses, legal settlements, inventory fair value write-up, transaction-related expenses, restructuring-related expenses, certain other expenses, merger and acquisition expenses, fair value adjustments to certain equity instruments classified as liabilities and other expenses. Below we have provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them 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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements of our assets;
- Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
- Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.
In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are 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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results.
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of certain information needed to calculate reconciling items. For example, the Company has not included a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods presented in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company’s projected Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict including, but not limited to, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, due diligence expenses and legal expenses. Due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from projected Adjusted EBITDA in future periods, management does not forecast them for internal use and therefore cannot create a quantitative projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) reconciliation for the periods presented without unreasonable efforts. A quantitative reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented would imply a degree of precision and certainty as to these future items that does not exist and could be confusing to investors. From a qualitative perspective, it is anticipated that the differences between projected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented will consist of items similar to those described in the financial tables later in this release, including, for example and without limitation, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, due diligence expenses and legal expenses. The timing and amount of any of these excluded items could significantly impact the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) for a particular period. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis.
