Medifast, Inc. reported a sharp slowdown for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as revenue fell to $76.0 million from $115.7 million, a 34.3% decline. The company posted a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with a $0.8 million loss, or $0.07 per share, a year earlier.
Results were pressured by a drop in active earning OPTAVIA coaches to 14,000 from 25,400, partly linked to broader adoption of GLP‑1 weight loss medications. Gross margin narrowed to 68.1%, and operating loss widened to $3.3 million. Despite this, Medifast ended the quarter with $168.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments, working capital of $160.4 million, and no debt, while continuing a strategic shift toward holistic metabolic health and new product innovations.
Medifast reported a weak first quarter 2026 as revenue fell sharply while the company remained debt-free with strong liquidity. Revenue was $76.0 million, down 34.3% from $115.7 million a year earlier, mainly because independent active earning coaches dropped 44.9% to 14,000.
Productivity per coach improved, with average revenue per active earning coach up 19.2% to $5,432, but not enough to offset volume declines. Medifast posted a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $168.9 million with no debt. The company expects ongoing losses in 2026, guiding to second-quarter revenue of $60–$80 million and a full-year 2026 loss per share between $1.55 and $2.75 on revenue of $270–$300 million.
Medifast, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote on four key items at its May 19, 2026 annual meeting: elect seven directors, ratify RSM US LLP as auditor, approve an advisory vote on executive pay, and approve an Amended and Restated 2012 Share Incentive Plan.
The company highlights a 2025 strategic shift from weight loss to holistic metabolic health built around its Metabolic Synchronization platform, supported by clinical data showing a 14% visceral fat reduction and 98% lean mass retention over 16 weeks on its 5 & 1 plan. Management notes coach productivity grew 6% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a solid cash position and no debt.

The proxy also describes extensive human capital, diversity, wellness, and ESG initiatives, including high employee engagement in internal culture and wellness programs.
