Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business—biote Corp. (inclusive of its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Biote”) is a Delaware incorporated company headquartered in Irving, Texas. The Company was founded in 2012 and trains physicians and nurse practitioners in therapeutic wellness and hormone optimization using bio-identical hormone replacement pellet therapy in men and women experiencing hormonal imbalance.

On May 26, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), BioTE Holdings, LLC (“Holdings,” inclusive of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the “BioTE Companies,” and as to its members, the “Members”) completed a series of transactions (the “Business Combination”) with Haymaker Acquisition Corp. III (“Haymaker”), Haymaker Sponsor III LLC (the “Sponsor”), BioTE Management, LLC, Dr. Gary S. Donovitz, in his individual capacity, and Teresa S. Weber, in her capacity as the Members’ representative (in such capacity, the “Members’ Representative”) pursuant to the business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) dated December 13, 2021 (the “Closing”). As a result of the Business Combination, Haymaker was renamed “biote Corp.”

Basis of Presentation—The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and therefore do not include all information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Biote and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information—In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and its results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

Subsequent to the issuance of its financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company identified certain errors in the calculations used to record activity and balances related to noncontrolling interest. The impact of the errors was an overstatement of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest of $2.2 million, $0.9 million, and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the three months ended June 30, 2024, and the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and an overstatement of noncontrolling interest of $0.7 million as of March 31, 2024.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated quantitative and qualitative factors and determined that it was not material to any previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, adjusting for the cumulative effect of this error in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 would be material to the Company’s results for this period as the cumulative amount of the error increased over time. As such, the Company has revised its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements to correct the errors.

The accompanying financial statements and relevant footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q have been revised to correct for the immaterial errors discussed above. The Company will also correct previously reported financial information for such immaterial errors in future filings, as applicable (please refer to “Part II, Item 5. Other Information” below for additional information). The tables below provide reconciliations of our previously reported amounts to our revised amounts to correct for the immaterial errors.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

The selected significant accounting policies below include those that were added or modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of the adoption of new accounting policies, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to assets, liabilities, costs, expenses, contingent liabilities, share-based compensation and research and development costs. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Segment Information—Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The Company has, historically, had one business activity and there were no segment managers who were held accountable for operations, operating results, and plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Due to the acquisition of a privately held 503B manufacturer of compounded bioidentical hormones on March 18, 2024, the Company evaluated the guidance set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), and concluded that there remains no segment managers and the operations are reviewed and resources allocated on a consolidated level. Therefore, there remainsone operating segment. The Company will reevaluate this conclusion in accordance with ASC 280 if and when changes to the organization occur. Please refer to Note 3 for additional information on the acquisition.

Other Current Assets—Total other current assets consisted of the following:

September 30,December 31,
(in thousands)20242023
Prepaid expenses$2,776$3,914
Advances3,7793,638
Income tax receivable4021,365
Other assets108308
Total other current assets$7,065$9,225

Prepaid expenses include software and technology licensing agreements, insurance premiums and other advance payments for services to be received over the next 12 months. Advances are comprised of deposit payments to vendors for inventory purchase orders to be received in the next 12 months. Other assets consist of interest earned, but not received on the Company’s money market account.

Share Repurchase Liabilities—Share repurchase liabilities were the result of settlements with former shareholders. These liabilities were accounted for as forward share repurchase contracts. The forward share repurchase liabilities were initially measured at the present value of the settlement amounts discounted at the rate implicit at inception and subsequently remeasured using the effective interest rate method. Changes in the carrying amounts of the forward share repurchase liabilities are recorded in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The reduction of Class A common stock outstanding was recorded at the inception of the forward share repurchase contracts and factored into the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding at that time. See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan—Effective January 1, 2021, the Company offers participation in the BioTE Medical, LLC (“BioTE Medical”) 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), a defined contribution plan providing retirement benefits to eligible employees. Eligible employees may contribute a portion of their annual compensation to the 401(k) Plan, subject to the maximum annual amounts as set periodically by the IRS. The Company makes a safe harbor, non-elective contribution to the 401(k) Plan equal to 3% of each participant’s eligible employee compensation. Safe harbor contributions vest immediately for each participant.

The Company made safe harbor contributions under the 401(k) Plan of$0.2 million during each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and$0.7 million and$0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Safe harbor contributions are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Concentrations—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, credit agreements, and inventory purchases. The Company’s cash balances exceed those that are federally insured. To date, the Company has not recognized any losses caused by uninsured balances.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023,100% of the Company’s outstanding debt and availability under revolving loans was from one lender. A failure of the counterparty to perform could result in the loss of access to the available borrowing capacity under the revolving loans.

Inventory purchases from four vendors totaled 92.1% and 83.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and 85.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Inventory purchases from three vendors totaled 83.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Due to the nature of the markets and availability of alternative suppliers, the Company does not believe the loss of any one vendor would have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any significant period of time.

Significant customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or gross accounts receivable balance. The Company didnot have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.The Company didnot haveany customers that accounted for more than 10% of its gross accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 changes how entities account for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 also modifies the guidance on diluted earnings per share calculations. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2024, and there wasno material impact to the financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted—In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of additional information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the interim and annual financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are applied either prospectively to financial statements issued after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Due to the timing of the issuance of ASU 2024-03, the Company has not begun its process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands annual disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and requires annual disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. (federal and state) and foreign jurisdictions. The amendments to this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS

F.H. Investments

On March 18, 2024, the Company acquired F.H. Investments Inc. (“Asteria Health”) a privately held 503B manufacturer of compounded bioidentical hormones. The total consideration of$8.9 million consisted of$8.4 million in cash payments and an additional$0.5 million cash earnout payment that was contingent on meeting certain operating metrics. The Company determined that the operating metrics set forth in the purchase agreement were met during the second quarter of 2024. The Company distributed the earnout payment to the former owners of Asteria Health, and as of September 30, 2024 was relieved of the earnout liability. The Company remeasures contingent consideration at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Due to the short-term nature of the earnout liability, the Company concluded there was no change in the fair value of the earnout liability between the date of acquisition and the date the operating metrics were satisfied. The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. The fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and subject to adjustments during the measurement period (up to one year following the acquisition date). The Company has received preliminary valuations and is completing its review of the reports and related assumptions. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the Company has not received a valuation on the property and equipment. The final fair value of the net assets acquired may result in adjustments to these assets and liabilities, including goodwill.

The following table presents the preliminary estimates for purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the purchase of Asteria Health. The preliminary purchase price allocation will be finalized by the end of the measurement period.

Total identifiable net assets3,32993,338
Total cash consideration8,354—8,354
Earnout liability, current500—500
Goodwill$5,525$(9)$5,516

The excess of the total consideration over the identifiable net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test using a fair-value approach. The Company has elected to test goodwill for impairment on October 1 each year.

The identifiable intangible assets included customer relationships, a non-compete agreement and a trade name. The customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”). The MPEEM isolates the cash flows that can be associated with the existing customer relationships and measures fair value by discounting the cash flows to present value. The non-competition agreement was valued using the with-and-without method. Under this method, the debt-free net cash flow of Asteria Health under a scenario in which the covenantor does not compete with Asteria Health was compared with the debt-free net cash flow of Asteria Health under a scenario in which the covenantor competes with Asteria Health. The difference in debt-free net cash flow between the two scenarios was then adjusted to account for the probability that the covenantor would successfully compete with Asteria Health absent the non-competition agreement. The relief-from-royalty method was utilized to value the trade name. The relief-from-royalty method is a form of discounted cash flow analysis that is predicated upon the economic benefits provided to the owner of the intangible asset. The theoretical underpinning of the methodology is that if the intangible asset being valued were not owned by its user, then the user would have to pay the owner a royalty for the right to use the asset. The royalty is generally based upon a percentage of revenue and is a function of the right being granted and a variety of economic factors. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, thus, are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company determined that the carrying value of the cash earnout payment is a reasonable estimate of its fair value, due to the short-term period over which the cash earnout is expected to be earned. In determining the estimated fair value of the cash earnout payment, the Company made certain judgments, estimates and assumptions, the most significant of which was the expected period over which the specified metric would be achieved. Contingent payments are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Costs incurred to purchase Asteria Health have been and will be recognized as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $0.4 million in acquisition-related costs, consisting primarily of legal and consulting costs and were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Simpatra, LLC

On January 2, 2024, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement with Simpatra, LLC (“Simpatra”) to purchase certain intellectual property and intellectual property rights. As consideration, the Company paid $1.5 million in cash payments and 389,105 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, of which 97,276 shares are being held for a period of approximately 15 months, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, to cover certain representations and warranties. Additionally, the agreement provides for a future earnout payment of 194,553 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock upon achieving certain financial targets over afour-year period. The fair value of future earnout payment on the acquisition date was approximately $0.3 million, which is included in the total consideration. The Company accounted for the acquisition of Simpatra as an asset purchase.

The identifiable intangible assets included developed technology, customer relationships, and a trade name. The developed technology was valued using the MPEEM. The MPEEM isolates the cash flows that can be associated with the existing technology and measures fair value by discounting the cash flows to present value. The customer relationships were valued using the distributor method, a variant of the MPEEM that relies upon market-based distributor data or other appropriate market inputs to value existing customer relationships. The distributor method may also be viewed as a profit-split method, in which function-specific profit is allocated to the identified assets. The underlying theory is that a business is comprised of various functional components (such as manufacturing, distribution, and intellectual property) and that, if available, market-based data may be used to reasonably isolate the revenue, earnings, and cash flow related to these functional areas. Using distributor inputs assists with isolating cash flow attributable to the customer-related assets. The distributor method uses market-based data to support the selection of profitability and other inputs related to customer-related activities. The relief-from-royalty method was utilized to value the trade name. The relief-from-royalty method is a form of discounted cash flow analysis that is predicated upon the economic benefits provided to the owner of the intangible asset. The theoretical underpinning of the methodology is that if the intangible asset being valued were not owned by its user, then the user would have to pay the owner a royalty for the right to use the asset. The royalty is generally based upon a percentage of revenue and is a function of the right being granted and a variety of economic factors. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, thus, are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The future earnout payment was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation in order to project the future path of Simpatra’s revenue and the Company’s stock price over the earnout period. In determining the estimated fair value of the future earnout payment, the Company made certain judgments, estimates and assumptions, the most significant of which were the revenue volatility, the revenue discount rate, the correlation factor of Simpatra’s revenue to the Company’s equity, the Company’s stock price, the equity volatility and the risk free rate of return. The future earnout payment is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

BioSana ID LLC

On January 29, 2024, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement with BioSana ID LLC (“BioSana”) to purchase certain assets for cash consideration of $0.7 million. Additionally, the agreement provides for a future earnout payment of up to $0.1 million upon the achievement of certain operating metrics. The Company recorded a customer relationship intangible asset of $0.7 million related to this acquisition.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Truist Term Loan

On May 22, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Truist Bank (the “Credit Agreement”) for$125.0 million. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a$50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loans”) and (ii) a$125.0 million senior secured term loan A credit facility (the “Term Loan”), which was borrowed in full on May 22, 2022. The Company used the proceeds to refinance and replace an existing credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement, dated as of May 17, 2019, with Bank of America, N.A. and for general corporate purposes. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on either, at the Company’s election, the Standard Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.5% or 2.75% or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.5% or 1.75%. At September 30, 2024, the interest rate charged to the Company was approximately 8.10%. The Term Loan requires principal payments of $1.6 million inquarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on September 30, 2022, with repayment of the outstanding amount of the note due on maturity, which occurs on May 26, 2027.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow under the Revolving Loans from time to time up to the total commitment of $50.0 million. The Company didnot draw on the Revolving Loans during thethree months ended September 30, 2024 and drew $10.0 million under the Revolving Loans during thenine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company didnot draw on the Revolving Loans during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2024, the Company had $40 million available under its Revolving Loans. On October 4, 2024, the Company repaid the amount that was drawn on the Revolving Loans.

The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and is subject to, among other provisions, customary covenants regarding indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, restricted payments, certain prepayments of indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, disposition of assets, sale and lease-back transactions, transactions with affiliates, amendments of or waivers with respect to restricted debt and permitted activities of the Company. The Credit Agreement is subject to (i) a maximum total net leverage ratio and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company must maintain a total net leverage ratio of less than or equal to 3.75:1.00 and must not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.25:1.00. Both financial covenants are tested quarterly. In addition to the financial covenants, the Company is required to deliver financial statements and other information and is prohibited from making certain restricted payments, as defined in the Credit Agreement, during the fiscal year in progress. Althoughthe Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants associated with the Credit Agreement, it failed to notify the administrative agent of its commitment to repurchase certain shares currently beneficially owned by the Company’s founder pursuant to a settlement agreement reached in the Donovitz Litigation (as defined herein), resulting in an event of default as of March 31, 2024. On April 26, 2024, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Waiver with the lender, that waived the event of default and also agreed that the payments made to repurchase the specified shares in settlement of the Donovitz Litigation will no longer continue as an event of default. On June 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, in which the lender agreed that the payments made to repurchase specified shares in settlement of the June 5, 2024 Litigation (as defined herein) will not qualify as an event of default on the Term Loan. See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation.

In connection with obtaining the Credit Agreement in May of 2022, the Company incurred lender’s fees and related attorney’s fees of $4.0 million. The Company capitalized these costs and is amortizing these to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan. The balance on the Term Loan is presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets net of the related debt issuance costs.

Amortization expense related to the debt issuance costs on the Credit Agreement was$0.2 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and$0.6 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

EARNOUT LIABILITY

On May 26, 2022, certain of the Company’s equity holders received earnout securities that will vest if certain share price targets (the “Triggering Events”) are achieved by May 26, 2027 (the “Earnout Deadline”). The Triggering Events each entitle the eligible equity holders to a certain number of shares per Triggering Event. The Triggering Events are as follows:

(i)

the first time, prior to the Earnout Deadline, that the volume-weighted average share price of Biote’s Class A common stock (“VWAP”) equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (the “Price Target 1”) for twenty (20) trading days of any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period following May 26, 2022, one-third (1/3) of the earnout securities shall be vested and no longer subject to forfeiture and other transfer restrictions (the “Earnout Restrictions”);

(ii)

the first time, prior to the Earnout Deadline, that the VWAP equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (the “Price Target 2”) for twenty (20) trading days of any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period following May 26, 2022, one-third (1/3) of the earnout securities shall be vested and no longer subject to the Earnout Restrictions;

(iii)

the first time, prior to the Earnout Deadline, that the VWAP equals or exceeds $17.50 per share (the “Price Target 3”) for twenty (20) trading days of any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period following May 26, 2022, one-third (1/3) of the earnout securities shall be vested and no longer subject to the Earnout Restrictions; and

(iv)

if the Company completes a change of control prior to the Earnout Deadline, then all remaining unvested earnout securities shall vest and no longer be subject to the Earnout Restrictions.

The earnout securities are classified as a liability in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets because they do not qualify as being indexed to the Company’s own stock. The earnout liability was initially measured at fair value and is subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the earnout liability is recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Please refer to Note 12 for additional information on the fair value of the earnout liability.

In connection with the acquisitions completed during the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded additional earnout liabilities. Please refer to Note 3 for additional information on the acquisitions.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Levels within the hierarchy are defined in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short- and long-term debt. The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term debt are considered a reasonable estimate of their fair value, due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The Company’s debt instruments are carried at amortized cost in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair values of the Company’s Term Loan and Revolving Loans generally approximate their carrying values.

The following table presents information regarding the Company’s financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

There were no movements between levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Level 3 Disclosures

Earnout Liabilities

The earnout liability related to the Business Combination Agreement was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation in order to project the future path of the Company’s stock price over the earnout period. The earnout liability related to the acquisition of Simpatra was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation in order to project the future path of Simpatra’s revenue and the Company’s stock price over the earnout period. The carrying amount of these liabilities may fluctuate significantly, and actual amounts paid may be materially different from the liability’s estimated fair value.

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company is organized in an umbrella partnership-C corporation (“Up-C”) structure in which the business of the Company is operated by Holdings and Biote’s only material direct asset consists of equity interests in Holdings. As of September 30, 2024, Biote’s ownership of Holdings was approximately 87.7%. The portion of the consolidated subsidiaries not owned by the Company and any related activity is presented as non-controlling interest in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The non-controlling interest holders may redeem their units in Holdings for an equal number of shares of Biote’s Class A common stock or, at the election of the Company, cash. Because redemptions for cash are solely within the control of the Company, non-controlling interest is presented in permanent equity.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Holdings as well as any stand-alone income or loss it generates. Holdings is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, Holdings’ taxable income or loss is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company. Despite its status as a partnership in the U.S., Holdings’ foreign subsidiaries are taxable entities operating in foreign jurisdictions. As such, these foreign subsidiaries may record a tax expense or benefit in jurisdictions where a valuation allowance has not been recorded.

On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with the then-existing non-controlling interest holders (the “TRA”) that provides payments to be made to non-controlling interest holders of approximately 85% of the amount of any tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of increases in the Company’s share of the tax basis in the net assets of Holdings resulting from any redemptions of member units in exchange for Class A common stock or cash as well as tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits realized. During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were exchanges of units that would generate a deferred tax asset of $23.8 million for the Company and a liability under the TRA of $18.9 million. However, during thenine months ended September 30, 2024 the Company executed settlement agreements to resolve both the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation (as defined herein) pursuant to which the Company acquired certain membership units. The acquisition of these membership units resulted in a reduction in the deferred tax asset and liability under the TRA of $20.3 million and $17.3 million, respectively, during thenine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024,1,946,408 units were redeemed which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of the Company’s investment in Holdings and generated additional deferred tax assets of $3.6 million and a liability under the TRA of $2.8 million. Please refer to Note 19 for additional information regarding the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation.

On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year and makes changes, if necessary, based on new information or events. The estimated annual effective tax rate is forecasted based on actual historical information and forward-looking estimates and is used to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. The Company also recognizes the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates and impacts from settlements with tax authorities, discretely in the quarter in which they occur. The Company recorded income tax expense of$3.2 million and$3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and$5.7 million and $5.4 million for thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company continues to evaluate its deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is more likely than not that some portion of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. As part of the Company’s analysis, it considered both positive and negative factors that impact profitability and whether those factors would lead to a change in the estimate of its deferred tax assets that may be realized in the future. Based on the Company’s analysis, it has recorded a valuation allowance related to the portion of tax basis over book basis in the partnership and foreign deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024. The Company will continue to assess the likelihood of the realization of its deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly.

CAPITAL STOCK

On January 24, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $20.0 millionits outstanding Class A common stock. Treasury stock purchases are stated at cost and presented as a reduction of equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Repurchases of shares are made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means. The timing of any repurchases under the share repurchase program is at the discretion of management and depends on a variety of factors, including market conditions, contractual limitations and other considerations. The share repurchase program may be expanded, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares.

As of September 30, 2024, the remaining balance of the repurchase program was$14.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company purchased 256,043 shares of its Class A common stock for a total of $1.5 million, at an average purchase price per share of$5.84. In addition, pursuant to the settlement of the Donovitz Litigation (as defined herein) the Company repurchased 5,075,090 shares of Class A common stock then beneficially owned by Donovitz, at a price per share of$4.17. Please refer to Note 19 for additional information regarding the Donovitz Litigation.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on net income (loss) attributable to Biote stockholders divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding. The following table sets forth the computation of net income (loss) per common share:

Diluted$0.33$0.24$(0.02)$(0.19)

Net income (loss) per common share information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 reflects only the net income (loss) attributable to holders of Biote’s Class A common stock, as well as both basic and diluted weighted average Class A common stock outstanding. Net income (loss) per common share is not separately presented for Class V voting stock because it has no economic rights to the income or loss of the Company. Class V voting stock is considered in the calculation of dilutive net loss per common share on an if-converted basis as these shares, together with the related non-controlling interests, have redemption rights into Class A common stock that could result in additional Class A common stock being issued. All other potentially dilutive securities are determined based on the treasury stock method.

The Company excluded the following potential shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each periodend, from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the periods indicated because including them would have had an antidilutive effect:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Risk

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate liability, if any, from these actions will not have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Right Value Litigation

On January 30, 2024, a lawsuit was filed in the 162nd Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas (the “District Court of Dallas County”) against the Company by Right Value Drug Stores, LLC d/b/a Carie Boyd’s Prescription Ship n/k/a Carie Boyd

Pharmaceuticals (“Right Value”). The lawsuit generally alleges breach of contract, fraud, and declaratory judgment (“Right Value Litigation”). The Company has brought counterclaims against Right Value generally for fraud, breach of contract, and quantum meruit.

On September 26, 2024, Right Value amended its petition to seek injunctive relief, asking the District Court of Dallas County to impose a mandatory injunction that would require the Company to pay at least $1.2 million per month to Right Value through the conclusion of the trial. On September 27, 2024, the District Court of Dallas County conducted a hearing on Right Value’s application, and, at the conclusion of that hearing, the District Court of Dallas County denied Right Value’s application for temporary restraining order and set the hearing on Right Value’s application for temporary injunction on November 11, 2024 (the “November 11th Hearing”). The parties engaged in expedited discovery and briefing in advance of the November 11th Hearing. At the conclusion of the November 11th Hearing, the District Court of Dallas County denied Right Value’s request for a temporary injunction. The trial on the Right Value Litigation is currently scheduled to occur on June 24, 2025.

The Company believes the claims asserted in the Right Value Litigation are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. However, given the preliminary stage of the proceedings, the Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter or estimate the range of potential loss, if any, that may result.

Yosaki and Mioko Trusts

On July 12, 2024, a lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Haymaker Sponsor III, LLC, the Company's outside legal counsel, and certain Company executive officers and directors (collectively, "Defendants") by two trusts ("Plaintiffs") that allegedly owned shares representing approximately 4.2% of the Company's outstanding stock immediately following the May 26, 2022 transaction with Haymaker Acquisition Corp III. The lawsuit alleges breaches of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting those alleged breaches, and unjust enrichment ("July 12, 2024 Litigation").

On July 22, 2024, the Plaintiffs amended their complaint to withdraw their allegation of current equity ownership. The Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Briefing on this motion is scheduled to conclude by November 22, 2024, with no date set for oral argument as of September 30, 2024.

The Company believes the claims asserted in the July 12, 2024 Litigation are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. However, given the preliminary stage of the proceedings, the Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter or estimate the range of potential loss, if any, that may result.

Dr. Gary S. Donovitz

On April 23, 2024, the Company settled all outstanding litigation described below with one of the Company’s stockholders, Dr. Gary S. Donovitz (“Donovitz”) (the “Donovitz Litigation”).

On June 23, 2022, Donovitz sued Haymaker Sponsor, LLC, the Company’s outside legal counsel, and certain Company executive officers and directors in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas (the “Donovitz Dallas Action”), generally alleging fraud, fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, a breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breaches of fiduciary duties, and/or aiding and abetting those alleged breaches against the defendants (the “Donovitz Claims”). Donovitz subsequently dismissed without prejudice the Donovitz Claims brought in the Donovitz Dallas Action, and the Court entered an order of dismissal without prejudice on March 28, 2023.

On July 11, 2022, the Company sued Donovitz in the Delaware Court of Chancery, pursuing injunctive relief to prevent Donovitz from proceeding with the litigation in the Donovitz Dallas Action in Texas (the “First Delaware Action”). The Company seeks to enforce (a) the Company’s certificate of incorporation, which mandates that stockholders must bring certain actions, including some or all of the Donovitz Claims, exclusively in Delaware, and (b) the Business Combination Agreement, by which Donovitz consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and agreed that Delaware law governs any related claims, including some or all of the Donovitz Claims. Pending a ruling from the Delaware Court of Chancery, Donovitz agreed to stay all answer dates in the Donovitz Dallas Action. Then, on March 23, 2023, Donovitz filed an amended answer and counterclaims in the First Delaware Action generally reasserting the Donovitz Claims he had previously brought in the Donovitz Dallas Action. On August 24, 2023, Donovitz filed amended counterclaims in the First Delaware Action, again generally reasserting the Donovitz Claims previously brought in the Donovitz Dallas Action but also asserting derivative claims against the Company’s directors. On October 23, 2023, the Company filed its response to Donovitz’s amended counterclaims.

On August 24, 2022, Donovitz sued the Company, including certain executive officers and directors of the Company, in the Delaware Court of Chancery, seeking (a) a status quo order preventing the defendants from diluting any stockholder’s equity or voting power, (b) an injunction requiring the defendants to convene a special meeting of the stockholders, and (c) a request to either void a portion of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or allow stockholders to elect directors to a vacancy on the board in accordance with Delaware General Corporate Law (the “Second Delaware Action”). On September 8, 2022, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied Donovitz’s request for injunctive relief, determining that expedited proceedings and a status quo order were both unwarranted and rejecting a mandated meeting of the stockholders.

On August 2, 2022, the Company sued Donovitz, Lani Hammonds Donovitz, and Lani D. Consulting in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, seeking injunctive relief to enforce non-disparagement obligations of that certain founder advisory agreement with Donovitz and the independent contractor agreement with Lani Hammonds Donovitz, both of which were entered into by the subject parties in connection with the Business Combination (the “Biote Dallas Action”). The Company successfully obtained a temporary restraining order to enforce the non-disparagement obligations of Donovitz and Lani Hammonds Donovitz. The parties subsequently entered into an agreed order that the temporary restraining order will stay in effect until the entry of a final judgment. On August 23, 2022, the defendants filed an answer in the Biote Dallas Action, which included affirmative defenses to the Company’s claims and certain counterclaims and third-party claims against certain executive officers of the Company. On April 12, 2023, Lani Hammonds Donovitz, individually and on behalf of Lani D Consulting, dismissed with prejudice all of her counterclaims and third-party claims in the Biote Dallas Action, and subsequently agreed to a permanent injunction in favor of the Company, which was entered by the Court on April 17, 2023.

After the filing of the Biote Dallas Action, the Company amended its claim in the First Delaware Action to also seek an injunction to prevent Donovitz from proceeding with certain of the affirmative defenses, counterclaims, and third-party claims filed by the defendants on August 23, 2022. On November 4, 2022, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied that request for injunctive relief, permitting the Biote Dallas Action and all defenses and claims asserted therein to proceed in Texas.

A jury trial in the Biote Dallas Action was to commence on September 11, 2023, to address the Company’s affirmative claim for breach of contract, request for a permanent injunction, as well as the counterclaims and third-party claims asserted by Donovitz. On August 17, 2023, Donovitz nonsuited without prejudice all of his counterclaims and third-party claims in the Biote Dallas Action, leaving only the Company’s affirmative claim against Donovitz to be tried on September 11, 2023. On September 8, 2023, three days before the scheduled trial in the Biote Dallas Action, Donovitz agreed to stipulate that he breached his contract, and Donovitz agreed to a partial judgment and the entry of a permanent injunction against him, which was signed by the Court on September 9, 2023.

The Company sought recovery of its attorneys’ fees against Donovitz in a jury trial that began on October 30, 2023. On November 2, 2023, the jury returned a verdict awarding the Company $4.7 million plus the potential for an additional $0.2 million for future fees, which constituted all of the attorneys’ fees that the Company had sought against Donovitz in the Biote Dallas Action.

On April 23, 2024, the Company and Donovitz executed a settlement agreement to resolve all remaining outstanding litigation with Donovitz. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase all of the Class A common units of BioTE Holdings, LLC, the Class V voting stock of Biote (together, “Paired Interests”) and the Class A common stock of the Company, currently beneficially owned by Donovitz for approximately $76.9 million in the aggregate. The Company will repurchase the shares over a three-year period commencing on April 26, 2024. In addition, the Company and Donovitz have agreed to, among other things, (i) a customary mutual release of all claims arising out of or relating to the Donovitz Litigation, (ii) the termination of the founder advisory agreement, dated as of May 18, 2022, by and between Donovitz and BioTE Medical, LLC, (iii) two year non-compete and non-solicitation agreements for Donovitz and (iv) a voting agreement with customary terms acceptable to the Company.

On April 26, 2024, the Company repurchased 5,075,090 shares of Class A common stock and 3,117,299 Paired Interests for approximately $32.2 million. Additionally, under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company canceled 3,985,887 earnout securities. The Company recorded the impact of the settlement agreement during its second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Donovitz (“Ms. Donovitz”), sued Haymaker Sponsor III, LLC, the Company’s outside legal counsel, and certain Company executive officers and directors in the Delaware Court of Chancery, generally alleging negligent misrepresentation, breaches of fiduciary duties, and/or aiding and abetting those alleged breaches against the defendants (the “June 5, 2024 Litigation”).

On June 28, 2024, the Company and Ms. Donovitz executed a settlement agreement to resolve the June 5, 2024 Litigation.
