Biote sits at the intersection of healthcare and consumer, with demonstrated brand loyalty and a sales trajectory poised to disrupt the multi-billion-dollar hormone optimization space. Biote’s mission is to help practitioners’ patients feel like their best selves through all phases of aging.
“The Biote team’s efforts during the year produced excellent results as we achieved record net revenue, gross margins, and EBITDA in 2021,” said Terry Weber, Biote Chief Executive Officer. “We strengthened our position within the hormone optimization space by continuing to raise awareness and educate practitioners on how to treat hormone deficiencies. As of December 31, 2021, there are over 5,200 Biote-certified practitioners.

To support this effort, Biote plans to substantially expand its salesforce over the course of the year.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
