“LifeMD started the year with tremendous performance in the first quarter of 2023. We exceeded our previous guidance for both Revenue and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, with record performance in both metrics. Importantly, and consistent with guidance we gave throughout 2022, our telehealth business returned to meaningful double digit revenue growth with sequential revenue in the first quarter of 2023 increasing 23% versus the fourth quarter of 2022. WorkSimpli continued to outperform, achieving EBITDA margins in the first quarter exceeding 20%, while executing numerous impactful launches, including expansion of its products to numerous new languages, launching digital signature capabilities, and executing several product enhancements to its product and forms suite.” said Justin Schreiber, Chairman & CEO of LifeMD. “Looking ahead, we remain extremely well positioned to accelerate our performance in 2023 anchored by strong lifestyle healthcare brands, a rapidly growing Virtual Primary Care (VPC) platform, recent successful launches of new product offerings, a healthy B2B pipeline, a strengthened balance sheet, and a highly profitable subsidiary producing significant cash flow that can help us further accelerate the core telehealth business.”
LifeMD CFO Marc Benathen, commented: “Our first quarter performance was extremely strong, exceeding guidance on both the top- and bottom-line, while producing substantial sequential revenue growth across both our telehealth and WorkSimpli businesses. Operationally, we also achieved several record performance levels, including consolidated Gross Margins of 87%, continued reductions in our G&A, Selling & Marketing spend as a percentage of Revenue. and a 40% improvement in First Year Lifetime Patient Value (LTV). We are particularly proud to report tat net of Accounts Payable timing, LifeMD’s cash burn reduced to just $678K and we are well on our way to achieving our guidance of Free Cash Flow positivity by mid-2023.

About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics 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 income (loss) attributable to common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, financing transaction expense, non-controlling interests, foreign currency translation, inventory valuation, sales return reserves, litigation costs, loss on debt extinguishment, preferred stock dividends, acquisition costs, severance expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss attributable to common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted EPS is defined as the diluted net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, financing transaction expense, non-controlling interests, foreign currency translation, inventory valuation, sales return reserves, litigation costs, loss on debt extinguishment, preferred stock dividends, acquisition costs, severance expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to Diluted loss per share attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We believe the above financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may vary from that of others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS 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.
