NEW YORK, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading platform for virtual primary care services, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Management Commentary        “Q1 was a strong start to 2026. We added more than 42,000 net telehealth subscribers, the largest quarterly net addition in our history. We ended the quarter with over 365,000 subscribers. In weight management, sign-ups increased approximately 120% sequentially from Q4, and we exited the quarter with strong momentum across all of our key growth areas,” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and CEO of LifeMD.“LifeMD is no longer just a telehealth company focused on a handful of conditions. We are building what we believe can become one of the most important virtual healthcare platforms in the country — a trusted destination where patients can access care, medications, labs, insurance-supported services, and ongoing clinical support through one connected experience.

“Our platform is uniquely positioned to support both direct-to-consumer self-pay and insurance-covered programs, and we are seeing continued traction with strong unit economics across our insurance-sponsored offerings. As previously guided, we are on track to expand coverage to approximately 230 million lives this month and believe our benefits infrastructure will be a key driver of long-term growth.

“At the same time, our women’s health business delivered exceptional performance in the quarter, with strong retention and improved customer acquisition costs supporting scalable, high-quality growth. Looking ahead, we are energized by the momentum across the business, with multiple strategic partnerships and new product launches in men’s and women’s health expected in the coming months, positioning us to drive continued top-line growth and profitability throughout the year,” concluded Mr. Schreiber.

“The first quarter played out largely as we expected: strong subscriber momentum, following a planned step-up in patient acquisition spend, and the early benefits of platform efficiency beginning to show in our gross margin,” said Atul Kavthekar, Chief Financial Officer of LifeMD. “Revenue for the first quarter was $50.2 million, exceeding our guidance range of $48 million to $49 million, with nearly all revenue derived from recurring subscriptions. The number of active subscribers increased approximately 26% year-over-year to over 365,000 at quarter end, with over 42,000 net adds in Q1, the largest quarterly net addition in our history. We exited the quarter with $34.5 million in cash, no debt, and a $30 million undrawn revolving credit facility that we put in place at the start of the year. Our balance sheet remains a strategic asset, providing ample flexibility to fund our expanding growth initiatives.”

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

All comparisons are with the first quarter of 2025 on a continuing operations basis (excluding WorkSimpli, which was divested on November 4, 2025, and is reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented). Non-GAAP financial measures referenced below are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures at the end of this press release.

Total revenue was $50.2 million compared with $50.9 million in the prior-year period.

The majority of revenue was derived from recurring subscriptions.

At quarter end, the number of Weight Management program subscribers was just under 100,000.

The number of active telehealth subscribers increased 26% to approximately 365,000.

Gross profit increased 3% to $44.2 million; gross margin expanded to 88%, compared to 84% in the prior-year period, primarily due to product mix.

Selling and marketing expenses increased 34% to $29.9 million, reflecting strategic, front-loaded patient acquisition investments to drive accelerated growth in subsequent quarters.

GAAP net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders was $9.6 million, or $0.20 per share, compared with a GAAP net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share, in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $4.5 million, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the planned opportunistic increase in patient acquisition spend during the quarter.

Cash totaled $34.5 million as of March 31, 2026, and the Company had no debt at quarter end.

About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of this financial measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that this financial measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc. common stockholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, extraordinary litigation costs, severance and restructuring costs, acquisition expenses, insurance acceptance readiness expenses, preferred stock dividends, stock-based compensation expense, net income from discontinued operations and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of discontinued operations. We have provided below a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc. common stockholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We believe the above financial measure is commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss per share, operating loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance.
