New Initiative Targets Long-term Growth Opportunity in Men’s Health

Company Launches Warrant Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation

Maintains 2023 Financial Guidance

Biote (NASDAQ: BTMD), a leading solutions provider in preventive health care through the delivery of personalized hormone therapy, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights, year-over-year:

• Revenue of $44.8 million, a 20.7% increase
• Gross profit margin of 69.1%, a 220-basis point increase
• Net loss of $(21.4) million and GAAP loss per share of $(0.39), primarily reflecting the impact of transaction-related items
• Adjusted EBITDA of $13.1 million, a 12.4% increase¹
• Operating cash flow of $13.0 million

“Biote generated solid financial performance in the first quarter of 2023, driven by an approximately 21% increase in revenue, as we continued to effectively serve patients who wish to age healthfully and feel their best,” said Terry Weber, Biote Chief Executive Officer. “Overall, our first quarter results underscore the continued strong profitability of our capital-light business model that is designed to enhance patient health outcomes and deliver economic value for practitioners.

“During the quarter, we launched a new initiative to accelerate our expansion into the large and growing men’s health market. Approximately 20 million men over age 45 suffer from low testosterone, yet only a small percentage currently receive treatment for this condition. To better address this significant unmet medical need, we are strengthening our focus on serving men’s healthcare practitioners throughout the United States. This strategic initiative aligns with our enduring mission to be the leading provider of hormone replacement education, resources and support.”

Ms. Weber continued, “Consistent with our efforts to enhance shareholder value, we remain committed to improving our capital structure. To this end, we are announcing today a warrant exchange offer and consent solicitation, aimed at reducing the potential dilutive impact of outstanding warrants.”

2023 First Quarter Financial Review

Revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $44.8 million, an increase of 20.7% from $37.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by procedure revenue growth of 13.8% and dietary supplement revenue growth of 46.0%.

Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 69.1% compared to 66.9% for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in gross profit margin reflected effective cost management.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2023 was $7.9 million, a decrease of 19.3% from $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in operating income was due to higher SG&A expense, which included $2.2 million in stock compensation expense and other non-recurring expenses of $2.5 million, as well as higher marketing and selling expenses to support strategic expansion in new geographic markets.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $(21.4) million, or $(0.39) per share, compared to net income of $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. Net income decreased as the result of lower operating income, increased interest expense and a net change in the fair value adjustments to warrant and earnout liabilities of $27.0 million in the first quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was $13.1 million compared to $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The 12.4% increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the growth in revenue and improved gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses to support our growth and geographic expansion.²

Warrant Exchange Offer

Today, the company launched an exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) relating to its outstanding warrants to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the offering, each warrant holder whose Warrants are exchanged will receive 0.23 shares of our Class A Common Stock for each warrant. Parties representing approximately 19.4% of the publicly traded Warrants and approximately 59.3% of the privately held Warrants have agreed to tender their Warrants in the Offer.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), dated May 9, 2023, and Schedule TO, dated May 9, 2023 (the “Schedule TO”), each of which have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and more fully set forth the terms and conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

The Company has engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC as financial advisor for the Offer and Consent Solicitation. Any questions or requests for assistance concerning the Offer and Consent Solicitation may be directed to Roth Capital Partners, LLC at the following email address: rothecm@roth.com. D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been appointed as the Information Agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company has been appointed as the Exchange Agent. Requests for documents should be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc. at (877) 732-3614 or via the following email address: btmd@dfking.com.

2023 Financial Outlook

“We are maintaining our 2023 guidance as Biote remains on track for continued growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Our financial forecast assumes stronger revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA performance in the second half of this year as compared to the first half, as we begin to benefit from the contributions of sales personnel added at the end of 2022. We continue to invest to strengthen our infrastructure and capabilities while further expanding our sales team,” concluded Ms. Weber.

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 of our 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.
