biote Q1 Earnings Call Highlights

MarketBeat

biote said a voluntary recall of certain bioidentical hormone pellets in January created a temporary supply disruption that cut Q1 revenue by an estimated $1.7 million, added about $1.5 million of incremental costs, distracted the salesforce and reduced procedure volumes. Revenue fell 8.3% year-over-year to $44.9 million (procedure revenue down 13.2% to $31.3M) while dietary supplement sales grew 19.1% to $11.0M; gross margin slipped to 68.9% and adjusted EBITDA declined to $8.7M with net income of $2.7M ($0.06 EPS). Management expects supply to normalize as Asteria adds shifts and third-party partners fill orders, has expanded the salesforce and trained 200+ practitioners, and has maintained 2026 guidance of revenue above $190M and adjusted EBITDA greater than $38M while anticipating procedure revenue to return to growth in H2. Interested in biote Corp.? Here are five stocks we like better. biote (NASDAQ:BTMD) executives said a voluntary recall of certain bioidentical hormone pellet inventory created a temporary but meaningful headwind in the company’s first quarter of 2026, impacting procedure revenue, margins, and salesforce productivity while management works to restore supply continuity through its Asteria Health manufacturing operation and third-party partners. Chief Executive Officer Bret Christensen said the company voluntarily withdrew certain bioidentical hormone pellet inventory from the market in January “out of an abundance of caution.” He said the temporary supply disruption reduced first-quarter revenue by an estimated $1.7 million and led to about $1.5 million of incremental costs. → The Real SpaceX Play: 5 Chip Stocks Powering the IPO Before It Launches Christensen added that the recall became “a significant distraction” for the salesforce because representatives were “forced to service accounts versus focusing on growth.” While the company expects the impacts to continue into the second quarter, Christensen said management views the issue as temporary and not reflective of long-term demand trends.

biote Corp. (BTMD) Q1 Earnings and Revenues Lag Estimates

Zacks

biote Corp. (BTMD) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.06 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.09 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.08 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -33.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.05 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.06, delivering a surprise of +20%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. biote Corp., which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Products industry, posted revenues of $44.94 million for the quarter ended March 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.71%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $48.99 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. biote Corp. shares have lost about 15% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6%. While biote Corp. has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for biote Corp. was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here....

biote Corp. Q1 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby

Performance was primarily impacted by a voluntary recall of bio-identical hormone pellet inventory initiated in January, which created a $1.7 million revenue headwind. The recall acted as a significant operational distraction, forcing the sales force to focus on account servicing and inventory allocation rather than new growth initiatives. Management successfully expanded the sales team to approximately 120 personnel, completing a key 2026 strategic objective to increase commercial capacity. A more disciplined qualification process is shifting the sales pipeline toward higher-value OB/GYN and general practitioners to improve long-term revenue predictability. New practitioner training reached near-full capacity with over 200 trained in Q1, which management views as a leading indicator for future procedure volume. Vertical integration at Asteria Health was temporarily throttled, with the facility producing only 30% of shipped pellets in Q1 compared to over 50% in the prior quarter. Management maintains full-year 2026 guidance, expecting revenue above $190 million based on an anticipated return to growth in the second half of the year. Supply continuity at Asteria Health is expected to be fully restored by the end of the second quarter through the implementation of a second production shift. Procedure revenue growth for the first half of 2026 is now expected to be moderately lower than previously forecast due to lingering recall effects. The 200+ practitioners trained in Q1 are expected to begin contributing meaningfully to financial performance following a typical six-month onboarding ramp. Gross margins are expected to remain under pressure in Q2 due to an elevated mix of higher-cost third-party supply while Asteria builds safety stock. The voluntary recall resulted in approximately $1.5 million of incremental costs, including $1.1 million impacting gross profit and $0.4 million in SG&A. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $5.3 million following the full repayment of share repurchase liabilities in January 2026. Inventory allocation measures currently limit customers to two or three weeks of supply, which may continue to impact practitioner scheduling confidence in the near term. Net income was impacted by a $2.1 million gain from the change in fair value of earn-out liabilities, significantly lower than the $10.7 million gain in the prior year period. Our...

FY2026 Q1 earnings call transcript

Earnings source - 48 paragraphs
Operator

Good day, and welcome to the Biote first quarter 2026 earnings conference call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Simon Serowiecki, Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Simon Serowiecki

Thank you for joining us today. This afternoon, Biote published financial results for the first quarter ended March 31st, 2026. This news release is available in the Investor Relations section of the company's website. Hosting today's call are Bret Christensen, Chief Executive Officer, and Bob Peterson, Chief Financial Officer. Before we get started, I'd like to remind everyone that management-only statements during this call as to forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the company's financial results, future performance growth opportunities, business outlook, strategic plans, anticipated benefits, goals, research and development, manufacturing and commercialization activities, its competitive position, regulatory process operations, benefits of its solutions, anticipated impacts of macroeconomic concerns on its business, results of operations, financial conditions, and other matters that do not relate to historical facts. These statements are not guarantees of future performance.

Simon Serowiecki

They are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the company's control. Actual results could differ materially from expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are based on management current expectations as of today. Biote undertakes no obligation to update them in the future. Therefore, these statements should not be relied upon as representing the company's views as of any subsequent date. For a discussion of risks and other important factors that could affect our actual results, please refer to our SEC filings available on SEC's website and the Investor Relations section of our website, as well as risks and other important factors discussed in the earnings release. Management will also refer to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional information to investors.

Simon Serowiecki

Reconciliation of the non-GAAP to GAAP measures is provided in the earnings release, the primary differences being stock-based compensation, fair value adjustments to certain liabilities, and other non-operating expenses. Please refer to our first quarter 2026 earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the closest comparable GAAP measures. I'll now turn the call over to Bret Christensen.

Bret Christensen

Thank you, Simon, and thank you all for joining us. After my remarks, Bob will review our first quarter financial results. We'll then open the call for your questions. Over the past 12 months, we have made important progress to advance our strategic priorities. We have strengthened our commercial organization, expanded our sales team, and enhanced our capabilities to better support practitioners and their patients. We have also sharpened our focus on maximizing value from our existing top-tier clinics, which remain important contributors to our long-term financial performance. Through these strategic and operational initiatives, we built a solid foundation that we believe supports sustainable, long-term profitable growth. As previously communicated, in January, Biote voluntarily withdrew certain bioidentical hormone pellet inventory from the market. We initiated this recall out of an abundance of caution.

Bret Christensen

This temporary supply disruption created a headwind to our first quarter performance, resulting in an estimated $1.7 million revenue impact and approximately $1.5 million of incremental costs incurred due to the voluntary recall. We are addressing the supply challenge as efficiently as possible. To mitigate the impact on our practitioners and their patients, we are increasing inventory levels to ensure continuity of care throughout our network. The recall affected our first quarter results and was a significant distraction to our sales force and their growth objectives as they were forced to service accounts versus focusing on growth. While the impacts are expected to continue into the second quarter, we believe this is a temporary issue, and it does not affect our long-term strategy or alter the overall demand environment.

Bret Christensen

We continue to see a sizable market opportunity across hormone therapy and therapeutic wellness, and we remain focused on building sustainable revenue growth. In our last call, I noted that one of our top priorities in 2026 was to expand our sales personnel from over 90 at the end of 2025 to approximately 120 this year. I'm pleased to report that we are substantially complete with this effort, with over 25 new sales personnel hired in the first quarter. We've expanded and strengthened our commercial capabilities and are ready for the future. Despite the distraction caused by the voluntary recall, our commercial team is already beginning to deliver a higher level of service to existing accounts while utilizing our increased sales capacity to grow and scale our practitioner network.

Bret Christensen

In the first quarter, we trained more than 200 new practitioners, representing a 16.5% increase from the first quarter of 2025. For our top clinics, we have introduced a series of measures aimed at improving retention and supporting stronger lifetime revenue outcomes. We are enhancing our commercial framework to reinforce the value proposition Biote can offer to our leading practitioners. New practitioner training sessions remain at near full capacity, underscoring continued practitioner interest in our bioidentical hormone optimization and healthy aging solution offerings. Because the number of newly trained practitioners is a leading indicator of future procedures and dietary supplement sales, this high level of engagement further strengthens our belief that we are on the right path to restore revenue growth.

Bret Christensen

As a reminder, once a practitioner is fully trained, it typically takes about six months for that new practitioner to begin to contribute meaningfully to our financial performance. As we continue to invest in our commercial team, one of our key objectives is to elevate the quality of our sales pipeline. Over the past several months, we have seen clear evidence of progress, with higher value OBGYN and general practitioners representing a growing share of our pipeline. This reflects a more disciplined qualification process as well as our focus on recruiting practitioners with greater long-term revenue contribution potential. We believe our efforts to enhance our sales pipeline should translate into more predictable performance as we increasingly support practitioners whose clinical specialties more closely align with our suite of product offerings.

Bret Christensen

In summary, while our first quarter performance fell short of our expectations due to the voluntary product recall, we continued to move forward on key initiatives that support our long-term strategy. I am confident that our strategic investments and actions are expected to strengthen our capabilities and lay the groundwork for what we anticipate will be a return to growth in the second half of the year. I'll now turn the call over to Bob to review the first quarter results.

Bob Peterson

Thank you, Bret, and good afternoon, everyone. Unless otherwise noted, all quarterly financial comparisons in my prepared remarks are made against the first quarter of 2025. Revenue decreased 8.3% to $44.9 million, with procedure revenue declining 13.2% to $31.3 million, which included a $1.7 million impact related to the voluntary recall of certain hormone pellets shipped by Asteria Health. Procedure revenue was primarily impacted by the following factors. One, lower procedure volume in existing clinics, which includes the impact of hormone pellet supply constraints related to the recall. Two, slower productivity from new clinics as our sales reps focused on supporting recall-impacted clinics. Dietary supplement revenue grew 19.1% to $11.0 million. The increase was primarily driven by the continued growth of our e-commerce channel.

Bob Peterson

Overall, we continue to forecast our dietary supplement revenue will grow at mid-to-high single-digit rate for the 2026 year. Gross profit margin was 68.9% compared to 74.3%. The decrease was primarily due to $1.1 million of incremental cost related to the recall. In the first quarter, Asteria Health produced approximately 30% of our shipped pellets as compared to over 50% in the fourth quarter of 2025. As Bret noted, we anticipate fully restoring Asteria Health's supply continuity by the end of the second quarter. As a result, we expect our second quarter product mix will continue to include an elevated level of third-party supply, which will impact second quarter gross margin. Our goal remains to meet customer needs through the vertical integration of Asteria Health.

Bob Peterson

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 4.1% to $27.8 million. The increase reflected higher legal expense and $0.4 million of SG&A costs associated with the product recall. Net income was $2.7 million and diluted earnings per share attributed to Biote Corp. shareholders was $0.06. This compares to net income of $15.8 million and diluted earnings per share attributed to biote Corp. stockholders of $0.37. Net income for the first quarter of 2026 included a gain of $2.1 million due to changes in the fair value of the earn-out liabilities. By comparison, net income for the first quarter of 2025 included a gain of $10.7 million due to changes in the fair value of the earn-out liabilities.

Bob Peterson

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $8.7 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.4% due to lower sales, reduced gross profit, and higher operating expenses. Cash flow from operations in the first quarter was $3.9 million. As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $5.3 million as Biote fully repaid the remaining amount due under its share repurchase liabilities in January 2026. Now turning to our financial outlook for 2026. We maintain our guidance forecasting 2026 revenue above $190 million and 2026 adjusted EBITDA of greater than $38 million. With respect to our 2026 revenue outlook, procedure revenue is expected to return to growth in the second half of 2026, unchanged from our prior guidance.

Bob Peterson

Based on current trends, we now expect first half procedure revenue growth to be moderately lower than previously forecast due to the temporary impact of the voluntary product recall and related supply constraints. Dietary supplement revenue is expected to grow at a mid to high single-digit rate from 2025. I'll now turn the call back to Bret for his closing comments.

Bret Christensen

Thanks, Bob. While we continue to address temporary impacts from the recall, we remain focused on the priorities that will strengthen our business for the long term. Our continued investments in commercial talent, technology, and practitioner support are creating a stronger platform for future execution. With this foundation in place, I believe Biote is well-positioned to better serve our practitioners, improve our financial performance, and create value for our shareholders. Operator, let's now open the call for questions.

Operator

Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then one on your touchtone phone. If you're using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then two. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. The first question today comes from Les Sulewski with Truist Securities. Please go ahead.

Jeevan Larson

Hey, this is Jeevan on for Les. Thanks for taking our questions. How did the clinic attrition trend in the first quarter as the recent hires ramp up? Are you seeing some stabilization here if you normalize for the voluntary recall?

Bret Christensen

Yeah. Hey, Jeevan, this is Bret. Thanks for the question. You know, attrition for us has stabilized and been stable now for several quarters. It's still a little bit higher than we'd like to see it. With the disruption that we had in Q1 due to supply constraints from the recall, it's hard to draw any conclusions of really any improvement there yet. We did see, however, some positive signs in daily volumes prior to the recall, which is where we get the $1.7 million impact of the recall, which we quoted in the earlier comments. There was some things to be encouraged by and then supply constraints really sort of put a damper on that.

Bret Christensen

As far as the sales force and sales force expansion, that expansion is new in Q1 going to 120 reps. We have every belief that they're going to start growing the business now, as we are just weeks away from completely normalizing inventory levels and getting that team back to growth. We should see the impact of that team starting in Q2.

Operator

The next question comes from Jeff Van Sinderen with B. Riley Securities. Please go ahead.

Jeff Van Sinderen

Hi, everyone. Just wanted to understand a little bit more about the supply constraints. I guess I'm confused by the recall still having an impact in Q2 and why we would still have supply constraints at this point. I would think that Asteria would recover a little more quickly. Maybe you can just talk a little bit about that.

Bret Christensen

Yeah, Jeff, I'll start with that, then Bob can add some color to everything that's gone on here. If you remember, we announced the recall at the end of January then began notifying our customers. That was done out of an abundance of caution for a product that was compounded and manufactured prior to October of 2025. That was just a lot of product that needed to come back and be replaced by Asteria and by some of our third-party customers who are helping with the fulfillment of that product. It just put a lot of strain on Asteria. We've done a tremendous amount to scale production at Asteria, including adding a second shift, and, you know, asking that team to work very hard to catch up on supply.

Bret Christensen

It's been an ongoing struggle. The disruption really comes from you know, two things. Having to allocate inventory to our customers, meaning to give them probably less than what they ordered in some cases. That meant rescheduling a patient and just some uncertainty in the field as to what they could do for scheduling patients and making sure they have enough product to perform those procedures. The distraction in the field was, you know, we asked them to manage that message and in some cases, manage those orders to help us prioritize who should get inventory and when. All of that ate to our safety stock at Asteria, and we're in the process of building that back up now.

Bret Christensen

You know, it's been a, it's been a process that's, it's been longer than we'd like it to be, and we've had to ask for help from our third-party pharmacy partners to help fulfill those orders. Again, we are probably just weeks away from a more normalized situation. It's better today than it was in February, March as well. I'll say that. Today is a much better situation than it was in the early days of the recall. Bob, do you have anything to add there?

Bob Peterson

Look, I think the, Hey, Jeff. The biggest thing that I would add would be, look, we're maximizing our production to build safety stock. We intentionally slowed some of the pellets that went out from Asteria so that Asteria could potentially build inventory. As Bret said, one of the biggest steps that we took to potentially build inventory even quicker is the establishment of a second production shift. This will enable us to maximize our production and really prepare for the future growth in the future, but at the same time, increase our stock levels. I think those are the, those are probably the two biggest pieces.

Bob Peterson

We intend and will return to expanding our vertical penetration in the remainder of the year once we see line of sight into that, as Bret said, in the next several weeks, once we see that safety stock at a solid level.

Jeff Van Sinderen

Okay. I'm just kind of, I guess, thinking this through out loud, but you had a shortfall in Q1. You sort of guided down for Q2 in your language as I took it. You kept the year guidance unchanged. I guess I'm wondering what gives you confidence that the second half will be even better than what was previously implied in guidance?

Bret Christensen

Yeah, Jeff. Thanks for the question. You know, like I said in my comments earlier, we just believe this is a temporary headwind to demand because we had these inventory constraints. You know, what makes us optimistic and, you know, confident in the guide that we're still gonna return to growth in the second half of this year are a couple of things. You know, we saw some positive signs, I said, going into the recall in daily volumes. That's how we extrapolated this impact of $1.7 million in revenue on the top line. We believe that's temporary. There's also surely some pent-up demand from these supply shortages that we'll recapture in the coming weeks and months.

Bret Christensen

This team of 120 territory reps that's new, really didn't even have a chance to contribute to some of those positive signs we saw going into the recall. We're optimistic that that team's going to do just what we hired them to do, which is go out and grow the business once they're not distracted from these inventory issues. If you remember too, I'll say one more thing. We've had full training classes now for, you know, going on six months. That's the earliest indication of supply, I'm sorry, of production in the field returning to growth. We're optimistic that those 200+ practitioners that we trained in Q1 are going to start adding meaningfully to growth after they've been onboarded here the next six months.

Bret Christensen

There's a lot to be optimistic about once we get through the supply issues. It's why we still are confident in a second half return to growth.

Jeff Van Sinderen

Okay. That's helpful. Then just, you know, thinking about some of the doctors who couldn't get the supply that they needed, they were on allocation, in the moment during Q1 and maybe a little bit in Q2. Was there anything preventing them from maybe sourcing the pellets elsewhere?

Bret Christensen

Well, you know, not really, Jeff, I'll say this, that the entire industry has been stretched for pellet production. The best partners out there are partners of ours. We very quickly reached out to them, asked for their help in supplying product to our customers, which is why you saw the Asteria mix go down in Q1. That's a temporary drag on gross margin, those are the most readily available pellets out there. We frankly have strained some of our third-party suppliers because of the demand that we've given them. There's not a ton of places that physicians can go. It's a very difficult thing to do.

Bret Christensen

You know, if you remember, 80%+ of our patients are women, since we're so strong in the OBGYN space. The hardest pellets to produce are the estrogen, estradiol pellets. They're very manual and can't be produced at scale in the way testosterone pellets can. That for the most part was the drag on supply and the challenge. That challenge is shared by a lot of the pharmacies out there. We're in a good spot today, thanks to the help of our third-party pharmacies and the quick work by Asteria to scale production, add a second shift. We think we're in good shape going forward.

Jeff Van Sinderen

Okay. Thanks for taking my questions.

Operator

Again, if you have a question, please press star then one. The next question comes from George Kelly with Roth Capital Partners. Please go ahead.

George Kelly

Hey, everyone. Thanks for taking my questions. First one is just back to the recall. I was curious if you saw much clinic attrition as a result.

Bret Christensen

George, hey, this is Bret. Thanks for the question. Not really. At this point, you know, it'd be anecdotal anyway, but we haven't seen too much clinic attrition. We clearly saw a reduction in volumes of procedures in the field. You know, it remains to be seen if there was any patient attrition, meaning the patients switched modalities, things like that. We think there's pent-up demand that we'll capture in the coming weeks and months. Not meaningfully. We didn't see any uptick in attrition that we can know.

George Kelly

Okay. With your current status and your sort of inventory build that, you know, your catch-up that you're doing right now, where are you in that process? You mentioned that you feel like you're in a good spot now. Is there still a lot of sort of catch-up that needs to happen? Part two of the question is, what have you seen in April? Can you comment on The press release commented that there's continued pressure. Any kind of detail you can give about procedure volume in April would be helpful.

Bret Christensen

Yeah. Thanks, George. You know, we said it would persist into Q2, which is where we're at today. At the same time, we're saying we're weeks away from probably a fully normal situation. That is tremendous progress. You know, we intentionally are kind of taking it easy on Asteria to allow them to build some safety stock because, you know, we do wanna eventually get to another two months or so of safety stock on top of everything they're currently supplying to our customers. We're gonna continue to use our third-party partners as much as we can to allow that to happen. And we'll use them going forward as well. They've just been fantastic in this whole process.

Bret Christensen

You know, we had the management team into the corporate office today, like I can tell you just anecdotally, if it's not going well, we hear it. The consensus was things are much, much better today than they were weeks and months ago. I think that the team is feeling it, our customers are shortly feeling it. We're not completely out of the woods only because we're still allocating inventory, meaning, you know, we're holding some of our customers to 2 or 3 weeks of inventory when they're used to having 2+ months sometimes. That just gives them the confidence to schedule a lot of cases in the future. That's the only thing I would say is, you know, there's inventory in the field.

Bret Christensen

It's not to the level that some of our customers would like to see it to feel confident, but we'll get there shortly.

Bob Peterson

George, to your first part of the question about Asteria Health. I would just tell you that it does take some time in a regulated environment to make sure that we can get a second shift up and running. Those steps started about a month and a half ago. I can tell you as far as where we are in the second shift, we just recently started that second shift. As you can imagine, the shop at Asteria Health is working even before the second shift around the clock to maximize production. The second shift now would eliminate a lot of the constraints, if you will, that exist with filing and packaging some of these smaller items.

Bob Peterson

I would tell you in the next, Bret mentioned in a couple of weeks, in the next couple of weeks, we should be in a solid position. I believe that that would be the case primarily because of the advent of this second shift. Probably in a month's time, in a month, maybe a little bit longer, we should be ahead of our safety stock levels so that we can start looking forward to regaining traction from a vertical integration perspective at Asteria, so we can really start ramping back up to where we once were.

George Kelly

Okay. Thank you.

Operator

GE HealthCare Technologies (GEHC) Lags Q1 Earnings Estimates

Zacks

GE HealthCare Technologies (GEHC) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.99 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.07 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.01 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -7.04%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this medical technology company would post earnings of $1.43 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.44, delivering a surprise of +0.7%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. GE HealthCare, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Products industry, posted revenues of $5.13 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.52%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.78 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. GE HealthCare shares have lost about 16.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.3%. While GE HealthCare has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for GE HealthCare was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of...

Biote Corp (NASDAQ:BTMD) successfully rebuilt a significant portion of its commercial team, increasing the number of salespeople from approximately 60 to over 90 by the end of 2025. The company reported a 16% growth in dietary supplement revenue, driven by the continued expansion of its e-commerce channel. Biote Corp (NASDAQ:BTMD) has seen an acceleration in the number of practitioners attending training sessions, indicating successful recruitment and training efforts.

Biote Corp (NASDAQ:BTMD) is investing in its technology platform to enhance the practitioner journey and improve long-term practitioner retention.

Gross profit margin decreased from 71.8% to 68.0%, impacted by a $1.3 million charge to inventory related to a voluntary recall.

biote Corp. Q4 2025 Earnings Call Summary

Moby

During 2025, management rebuilt the commercial team, increasing sales personnel from approximately 60 to over 90 to address high clinic attrition, an initiative that began showing results in stabilizing the network by the fourth quarter. The company restructured its commercial organization by geographic region and sales role to bifurcate focus between servicing existing accounts and driving new clinic starts. Procedure revenue declines were primarily driven by higher-than-historical clinic attrition, which accelerated to high single digits in 2024 compared to the typical 5% rate. Strategic focus has shifted toward maximizing value from top-tier clinics by refining contract models and incentive structures to strengthen long-term practitioner retention. Operational discipline was enhanced through upgraded data analytics and internal systems, which management believes will enable more consistent execution and scalability. Dietary supplement growth of 16% served as a critical hedge, driven by e-commerce expansion and increased patient engagement with healthy aging solutions. Management expressed cautious optimism that the foundational work completed in 2025 has positioned the company to reaccelerate procedure revenue growth in the second half of 2026. Biote plans a significant step-up in operating expenses to expand the sales force further to approximately 120 personnel by the end of 2026. The company is prioritizing a 'leading-edge' technology platform investment to streamline the practitioner journey from initial certification to long-term clinic management. Financial guidance for 2026 assumes a mid to high single-digit decrease in procedure revenue for the full year, though management expects a return to year-over-year growth by the second half. The 2026 outlook includes a forecasted revenue of above $190,000,000 and adjusted EBITDA exceeding $38,000,000, accounting for the near-term impact of planned investments. Management anticipates dietary supplement revenue will continue to grow at a mid to high single-digit rate, supported by the new technology platform's cross-selling capabilities. A $1,300,000 inventory charge was recorded in 2025 due to a voluntary recall of specific hormone pellet lots shipped by Asteria Health. Management flagged a potential near-term headwind to gross margins if the product mix shifts toward more expensive third-party manufacturi...
