Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 bioidentical 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, 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Biote and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolid ation. The Company recognizes noncontrolling interest related to its less-than-wholly-owned subsidiary as equity in the consolidated financial statements separate from the parent entity’s equity. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is included in net income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. Estimates used for, but not limited to, determining the collectibility of accounts receivable, inventory valuations, fair value of long-lived assets, goodwill valuations, contingent liability valuations and share-based compensation could be impacted. 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. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying 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.
Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions—The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) as either a business combination or an asset acquisition. For business combinations, the fair value of the purchase consideration is allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed (including contingent consideration) and equity instruments issued based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Allocation of purchase consideration to identifiable assets and liabilities affects the amortization expense, as acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the useful life, whereas any indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized. During the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from business combinations and are expensed as incurred.
Contingent consideration is measured at fair value as of the acquisition date using unobservable inputs. These inputs include the estimated amount and timing of projected operational and financial information, the probability of achievement of performance milestones or other agreed-upon events, and the risk-adjusted discount rate used to calculate the present value of the probability-weighted projected financial information. Contingent liabilities are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the liability is resolved. Changes in any of the inputs could result in a significant adjustment to the fair value.
The Company accounts for a transaction as an asset acquisition when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, or otherwise does not meet the definition of a business. Asset acquisition-related costs are capitalized as part of the assets or liabilities acquired.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets—The Company tests goodwill at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment, for impairment annually on October 1st of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The
Company has one reporting unit subject to goodwill impairment testing. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges on its goodwill. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have goodwill.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation of these intangible assets are performed at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate from their use and eventual disposition. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset is not recoverable and the asset's fair value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges on its finite-lived intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any finite-lived intangible assets.
The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets. If the Company determines there is a change in the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized over the revised estimated useful life.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Fair Value Measurements—The Company accounts for its earnout liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs based on the observability as of the measurement date, is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; and
Level 3- Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop assumptions of what market participants would use to price the asset or liability.
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 consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair values of the Company’s term loan and revolving line of credit generally approximate their carrying values. See Note 13 for further detail.
Cash—As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash consisted primarily of checking and savings deposits. The Company maintains deposits with two financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits. The Company does not hold any cash equivalents, which would consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Accounts receivable is recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable primarily include amounts related to receivables from Biote-certified practitioners providing therapeutic wellness and hormone optimization therapies to their patients and from the sale of Biote-branded dietary supplements. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and uses the roll-rate method to estimate current expected credit losses for its accounts receivable population. Balances are written off against the allowance after management has exhausted all reasonable collection efforts.
Bad debt expense is classified in selling, general, and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company generally does not require any security or collateral to support its receivables. The following table presents a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| As of December 31, 2022 | $(974) |
| Provisions charged to operating results | (663) |
| Account write-off and recoveries | 758 |
| As of December 31, 2023 | $(879) |
| As of December 31, 2023 | $(879) |
| Provisions charged to operating results | (1,490) |
| Account write-off and recoveries | 433 |
| As of December 31, 2024 | $(1,936) |
Inventory, net—Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory primarily consists of bioidentical hormone pellets and Biote-branded dietary supplements. Bioidentical hormone pellets contain bioidentical testosterone or estrogen used to achieve hormone balance. Biote-branded dietary supplements are high-grade vitamins used to enhance hormone therapy. The Company reviews its inventory balances and writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or excess inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Inventory write-downs are recorded within cost of products on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company’s reserve for obsolete and expired inventory was$1.8 million and$1.3 million, respectively. See Note 5 for further details.
Other Current Assets—Total other current assets consisted of the following:
| December 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 |
| Prepaid expenses | $3,322 | $3,914 |
| Advances | 2,805 | 3,638 |
| Income tax receivable | 71 | 1,365 |
| Other assets | 111 | 308 |
| Total other current assets | $6,309 | $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 on the Company’s money market account and its now matured short-term investment. Interest earned on the money market account and the 2023 short-term investment of $2.0 million and $3.9 million for theyears ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was included in interest expense, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Property and Equipment, Net—Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter, and is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The estimated useful lives of property and equipment and amortization period of operating right of use assets are as follows:
| Trocars | 5 years |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of estimated useful life or remaining lease term |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Compounding equipment | 5-7 years |
| Computer software | 3-5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5-7 years |
| Computer equipment | 3-5 years |
See Note 6 for further details.
Capitalized Software, Net—Capitalization of costs related to internally developed software begins when the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that the project will be completed and used for its intended function. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional features and functionality. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three tofive years, and is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See Note 7 for further details.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, capitalized software and operating right of use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable compared to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment charges were recorded during theyears ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Leases—At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement including the use of an identified asset(s) and the Company’s control over the use of that identified asset. The Company elected to not recognize leases with a lease term of one year or less on its balance sheet. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and current and non-current lease liabilities, as applicable, at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any financing leases.
Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general, and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as incentives, prepaid lease payments, or initial direct costs. When an option to extend the lease exists, a determination is made whether that option is reasonably certain of exercise based on economic factors present at the measurement date and as circumstances may change.
As the rates implicit in the Company’s leases have not historically been readily determinable, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate the Company would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment over the lease term. To estimate the incremental borrowing rate, a credit rating applicable to the Company is estimated using a synthetic credit rating analysis since the Company does not currently have a rating agency-based credit rating.
In accordance with ASC 842, contracts containing a lease should be split into three categories: lease components, non-lease components, and activities or costs that do not transfer a distinct good or service (“non-components”). The fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any consideration related to non-components) must be allocated, based on the respective relative fair values, to the lease components and non-lease components.
Entities may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components. Accordingly, entities making this election would account for each lease component and related non-lease component together as a single lease component. The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component for all underlying assets and allocate all of the contract consideration to the lease component only. See Note 16 for further details.
Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in income tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no accrued interest or penalties are included in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 17 for further details.
Debt Issuance Costs—The Company accounts for costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt as a direct reduction of the debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the associated debt, using the effective interest method, and are included as a component of interest expense, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
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 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 20 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
Warrant Liabilities—The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity(“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Forissued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and remeasured each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company’s warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and are recorded as liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the statements of income and comprehensive income. See Note 11 for further detail.
Earnout Liabilities—The Company’s earnout liability related to the Business Combination Agreement was valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation in order to simulate the future path of its stock price over the earnout period. The significant assumptions used in this valuation include the Company’s stock price, volatility and the drift rate. See Note 12 for further detail.
The earnout liability related to the acquisition of Simpatra (as defined herein) 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 significant assumptions used in the Simpatra valuation include the Company’s stock price, the risk free rate, equity and revenue volatilities, a revenue discount rate and a correlation factor.
The carrying amount of the liabilities may fluctuate significantly and actual amounts paid may be materially different from the liabilities’ estimated value.
Revenue Recognition—The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB, ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended, (Topic 606). Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, which are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of products in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are considered part of the transaction price and are recognized as revenue with the underlying product sales for Biote-branded dietary supplements and trocars.
The following is a description of the principal contract activities, disaggregated by contract type, from which the Company generates its revenue.
The Biote Method
The Company generates revenues through standard service agreements with customers who participate in the Biote Method. The Biote Method is a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy which has been developed as a treatment designed to alleviate hormone imbalances. Under this agreement, the Company provides a bundle of goods and services to customers, including initial training to medical practitioners, bioidentical hormone pellets and software tools used for inventory management and dosing, and ongoing practice development and marketing support services, which includes a license to use the Company’s trademarks and trade names in the customer’s marketing materials. The initial contract term is three years, and customers have the option to renew for additional one-year periods.
For the bundled goods and services, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct, i.e., if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company has identified three distinct obligations in its standard service agreement: initial training, pellet procedures (including sales of bioidentical hormone pellets, use of inventory management software to monitor pellet inventory, and use of the Company’s blood dosing website to determine the appropriate pellets to use in each procedure), contract-term services (including ongoing practice development and marketing support, options to receive reusable trocars, and the right to use the reusable trocars through the term of the contract, if the option is exercised). The third obligation includes a combined lease/nonlease component for which the Company has adopted the practical expedient within ASC 842 which allows lessors to combine lease and non-lease components that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer-lessee and account for the combined component under the guidance relevant to the predominant portion of the component. By applying this expedient, the Company applies Topic 606 to the combined component.
The consideration in the contract is allocated between separate products and services in the bundle based on the stand-alone selling prices of each good and service. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the initial training and the pellet procedures. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. For items that are not sold separately and for which the Company has not established a standalone selling price, the Company allocates consideration based on the residual approach.
The Company recognizes revenue for initial training over time as the customer completes the training. Training sessions generally occur over the course of 2-3 consecutive days at or near the time of contract inception. The customer is charged an initial fixed-rate fee for this training. Customers pay in full for the initial training at the time of contract inception. The standalone selling price of these services is based on the lowest price offered by the Company for the services.
The Company recognizes revenue for pellet procedures at the point in time the procedures are performed by the practitioner, which is when control of the pellets transfers to the customer. Consideration for these services is in the form of a management fee assessed for each procedure performed, which includes a volume-based tiered pricing schedule. The standalone selling price for these services requires judgment and is estimated based on the Company’s historical experience with prices offered to similar customers throughout the initial term of the contract. Billings in excess of the standalone selling price constitute a premium charged to customers early in a relationship and are deferred and recognized when or as the remaining goods and services are transferred to the customer. Fees are billed and paid on a semimonthly basis.
The Company recognizes revenue for contract-term services on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the contract, which aligns with the Company’s satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company allocates the residual consideration to this performance obligation, which is consistent with the allocation objective.
Biote-Branded Dietary Supplements
Biote-branded dietary supplements are supplements that may be used to address hormone, vitamin, and physiological deficiencies that regularly manifest in an aging population. The Company recognizes revenue for these, net of any discounts given, when control transfers to the customer, which is generally the point of shipment from the Company’s distributors, including Amazon. Products are billed at standalone selling prices for the dietary supplements and invoiced at shipment.
Disposable Trocars
Disposable Trocars are surgical instruments intended for use by Biote-certified practitioners. These instruments are used to implant the bioidentical hormone pellets into the customers’ patients. The Company recognizes revenue at the time control transfers, which is generally the point of shipment from the distributor. Products are billed at the standalone selling price for the trocars and invoiced at shipment.
See Note 4 for revenue disaggregated by the nature of the product or service and by geography.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company allocated$0.02 million and$0.2 million respectively, of consideration to the unsatisfied initial training obligations, and$2.8 million and$2.5 million, respectively, of consideration to the unsatisfied contract-term service obligations provided to the Biote Method customers.
Consideration allocated to initial training due to deposits paid upfront is presented within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets and is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year, as the training is complete. Consideration allocated to contract-term services is presented within deferred revenue and deferred revenue, long-term for the amounts expected to be recognized within one year and longer than one year, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 the amount of consideration allocated to contract-term services presented within deferred revenue was$1.7 million and$1.6 million, respectively, and the amount presented within deferred revenue, net of current portion was$1.1 million and$0.9 million, respectively.
The Consideration allocated to the premiums within the management fee for pellet procedures is presented within deferred revenue current and deferred revenue, net of current portion for amounts expected to be recognized within one year and longer than one year, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 the amount of these premiums within deferred revenue was$1.2 million and$0.9 million, respectively, and the amount within deferred revenue, net of current portion was$0.5 million and$0.4 million, respectively.
The Company has also elected the practical expedient in ASC 606 to not disclose consideration allocated to contracts with an original term of one year or less, which includes contracts for point-in-time sales of dietary supplements, disposable trocars, and pellet procedures. Pellet procedures are included in the Company’s Biote Method service agreement, which has a three-year stated term, but as revenues are recognized at a point in time, there are no minimum purchase volumes, and the contract allows for cancellation with ninety days’ notice from the customer, there are no pellet procedure obligations that are satisfied over a period greater than one year.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Customer receivables are made up of consideration to which the Company has an unconditional right to payment, regardless of whether the Company has satisfied the performance obligations in the contract. All customer receivables are presented within accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets.
Contract assets are the Company’s right to consideration for goods or services that the entity has transferred to the customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company did not have any contract assets.
Contract liabilities are the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or has an unconditional right to receive consideration. The Company’s contract liabilities include deposits for initial training and contract-term services paid in advance which have not been recognized as revenue during the period. Contract liabilities are presented within deferred revenue and deferred revenue, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities are classified as current liabilities for the amount of revenue that the Company expects to recognize within one year of the reporting date.
Changes in contract liabilities between each period are attributable to fees paid by new customers, revenue recognized for completed training, and revenue recognized for the Company’s over-time satisfaction of contract-term services.
The Company does not have a history of material returns or refunds, and generally does not offer warranties or guarantees for any products or services. Expected returns and refunds are recorded as a reduction of revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had returns of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
See Note 4 for a reconciliation of the beginning and ending contract liabilities.
Cost of Revenue—Cost of services primarily consist of the costs incurred to deliver training to Biote Method customers. Cost of products includes the cost of pellets purchased from compounding pharmacies and used by customers of the Biote Method, the cost of trocars and dietary supplements purchased from manufacturing facilities or third-party co-packers, and the shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver these products to the customers.
Advertising—Advertising expenses include costs incurred to market the Company’s products through digital and traditional marketing channels, such as on third-party websites, television and print media. Advertising expenses also include costs related to certain marketing events and public relations and marketing agency fees. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 advertising costs were$5.9 million and$5.1 million, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Selling, General, and Administrative—Selling, general, and administrative expense consists primarily of software licensing and maintenance and the cost of employees who engage in corporate functions, such as finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, legal, and executive management. Selling, general, and administrative expense also includes rent occupancy costs, office expenses, recruiting expenses, entertainment allocations, depreciation and amortization, other general overhead costs, insurance premiums, professional service fees, research and development, and costs related to regulatory and litigation matters.
Defined Contribution Retirement Plan—Effective January 1, 2021, the Company offers participation in the BioTE Medical, LLC 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 compensation. Safe harbor contributions vest immediately for each participant.
The Company made safe harbor contributions under the 401(k) Plan of$0.9 million and$0.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Safe harbor contributions are presented within selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Share-Based Compensation—The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation —Stock Compensation(“ASC 718”) for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to employees and non-employee directors and for awards granted under its employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). The Company calculates the fair value of stock options and ESPP awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the Company to make a number of assumptions, including the expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value option awards upon each grant of stock options. RSU awards are measured at fair value based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally four years for options, one year for RSUs and six months for ESPP awards. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. See Note 15 for further details.
Commissions—Commissions consist primarily of fees paid to a third-party sales force, internal sales force, and partner clinics which participate in the Company’s new clinic mentor program. Commissions paid to the Company’s internal and third-party sales forces relate to market support and development activities undertaken to drive channel sales through existing customers and are not considered incremental costs to obtain a customer contract. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 expenses incurred for these commission programs were $6.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
Commissions paid to clinics under the Company’s mentorship program represent amounts paid to existing clinics which provide services to help new customers complete onboarding and other startup activities and are only incurred after contract initiation. These costs are expensed as incurred, consistent with other contract fulfillment costs. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 commissions paid under this program were$0.1 million and$0.4 million, respectively.
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 December 31, 2024 and 2023,100% of the Company’s outstanding debt and available line of credit 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 line of credit.
Inventory purchases from four vendors totaled 82.7% and 77.8% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 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 the Company’s 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 theyears ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company didnot haveany customers that accounted for more than 10% of its outstanding gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On July 27, 2022, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”). Yorkville is a fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP, headquartered in Mountainside, New Jersey.
The Company has the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at the Company’s discretion until the first day of the month following the 36-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA (unless earlier terminated), to direct Yorkville to purchase a specified amount of shares of Class A common stock (each such sale, an “Advance”) by delivering written notice to Yorkville (each, an “Advance Notice”). The shares of Class A common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance will be purchased at a price equal to 97.0% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Class A common stock during thethree consecutive trading days commencing on the date of delivery of a given Advance Notice. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for such date as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during regular trading hours.
While there isno mandatory minimum amount for any individual Advance, it may not exceed the greater of (i) an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the daily volume traded on the trading day immediately preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii)1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. No more than 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, including the Commitment Shares (as defined below) may be sold pursuant to the SEPA.
Yorkville’s obligation to continue to purchase shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the SEPA is subject to a number of conditions.
As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase Class A common stock at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA, upon execution of the SEPA, the Company issued 25,000 shares of Class A common stock to Yorkville (the “Commitment Shares”). During theyears ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no Class A common stock was purchased under the SEPA.

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$9.0 million consisted of$8.5 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 December 31, 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 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.
| Measurement period adjustments recognized as of | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation | December 31, 2024 | Updated Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation |
| Accounts receivable | $27 | $— | $27 |
| Inventory | 1,722 | — | 1,722 |
| Other current assets | 29 | 9 | 38 |
| Customer relationships | 1,290 | 50 | 1,340 |

| Operating lease right-of-use assets | 405 | — | 405 |
| Accounts payable | (63) | — | (63) |
| Accrued expenses | (297) | — | (297) |
| Operating lease liabilities, current | (75) | — | (75) |
| Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion | (330) | — | (330) |
| Total identifiable net assets | 3,329 | (186) | 3,143 |
| Total cash consideration | 8,354 | 122 | 8,476 |
| Earnout liability, current | 500 | — | 500 |
| Goodwill | $5,525 | $308 | $5,833 |
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 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 year ended December 31, 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 consolidated statement 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 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 $0.8 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 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 December 31, 2024, the interest rate charged to the Company was approximately 7.21%. 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. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company hadno amounts outstanding under 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 totalnet leverage ratio and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company must maintain a total net leverage ratio of 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 informationand 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 20 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
The Company capitalized lender’s fees and related attorney’s fees of $4.0 million, which are amortized over the life of the Term Loan and included in interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

WARRANT LIABILITY
In connection with its initial public offering, Haymaker issued Public Warrants as part of the units sold through the offering (“Public Warrant”) as well as private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrant”) to its Sponsor, the terms of which are further described below.
Warrant Tender Offer
On May 9, 2023, the Company commenced (i) its offer to each holder of its outstanding warrants, each whole warrant exercisable forone share of Class A common stock of the Company, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrants”), the opportunity to receive 0.23 shares of Class A common stock in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”), and (ii) the solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Warrants (the “Consent Warrants”) to amend the Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated as of March 1, 2021, by and between Haymaker Acquisition Corp. III, a Delaware corporation, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Amendment”), which governs all of the Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, all except certain specified modifications or amendments required the vote or written consent of holders of at least 50% of the Public Warrants and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants, at least 50% of the Private Placement Warrants.
The Warrant Amendment permitted the Company to require that each Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.207 shares of Class A common stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer. The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on June 7, 2023.
Public Warrants of 8,191,336, or approximately 97.5% of the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants of 4,464,900, or approximately 87.4%of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received theapproval of the Warrant Amendment from approximately (i)97.5% of the outstanding Public Warrants and (ii)87.4% of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants.
On June 8, 2023, the Company and the Warrant Agent entered into the Warrant Amendment, which permitted the Company to require that each Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.207 shares of Class A common stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer. The Company exercised its right to exchange all remaining outstanding Warrants for shares of Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment. As a result of the warrant tender offer, the Company exchanged all of its outstanding Warrants for 3,088,473 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $17.5 million. No Warrants remain outstanding following such exchange.
EARNOUT LIABILITY
Certain of the Company’s equity holders are entitled to vest in up to 11,587,500 Earnout Securities 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 the Closing, 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 the Closing, 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 the Closing, 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 Company classified the earnout shares as a liability in its 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 at the Closing Date and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the earnout liability is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See Note 13 Fair Value Measurements for further detail.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Level 3 Disclosures
Earnout Liability
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.
The following table provides the significant inputs used to measure the fair value of the level 3 earnout liability related to the Business Combination Agreement:

| Loss from change in fair value | 19,605 |
| Fair value as of December 31, 2024 | $17,235 |
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 December 31, 2024, Biote’s ownership of Holdings was approximately 87.8%. The portion of the consolidated subsidiaries not owned by the Company and any related activity is presented as non-controlling interest in the 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. As a result, Biote’s ownership interest in Holdings will continue to increase. Because redemptions for cash are solely within the control of the Company, noncontrolling interest is presented in permanent equity.

LEASES
On July 1, 2014, BioTE Medical entered into a contract to lease office space in the Las Colinas Business Center in Irving, TX. Subsequent to execution of the contract, the Company revised the lease to include additional space and extend the lease term through June 30, 2023. On November 1, 2022, the Company executed an extension of lease office space to extend through November 30, 2028. This extension included an additional 3,700 square feet of space that would be available for use in December of 2023, which would be included in monthly rent payments at this date accordingly.
On September 11, 2024, the Company entered into a 60-month operating lease agreement for approximately 19,076 square feet of office space in Birmingham, Alabama that will be used by Asteria Health to expand its compounded bioidentical hormones manufacturing facility capabilities.

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.
Income (loss) before provision for income taxes consisted of the following:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 |
| Domestic | $1,324 | $300 |
| Foreign | (308) | (423) |
| Income before provision for income taxes | $1,016 | $(123) |
The income tax provision consisted of the following:

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate was as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 |
| Statutory federal income tax rate | $213 | $(55) |
| State taxes, net of federal benefit | 385 | 179 |

| Excise tax on share repurchases | 63 | - |
| Change in valuation allowance | 70 | 87 |
| Nondeductible compensation | 27 | - |
| $970 | $2,682 | |
The Company’s significant rate reconciliation items are driven primarily by state taxes and permanent differences associated with Holdings’ flowthrough income.
The Company’s net deferred tax assets (liabilities) were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 |
| Deferred tax assets: | ||
| Outside basis difference in partnership | $27,933 | $23,974 |
| Net operating loss carryforwards | 566 | 528 |
| Intangibles | 809 | 910 |
| Total deferred tax assets | $29,308 | $25,412 |
| Valuation allowance | (566) | (528) |
| Deferred tax assets, net of allowance | $28,742 | $24,884 |
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a foreign net operating lossof $1.9 million, which begins to expire in 2032.
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 theyear ended December 31, 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 $4.0 million and $17.3 million, respectively, during theyear ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 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 20 for additional information regarding the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation.
The Company evaluates 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. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing future deductible amounts become deductible. 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 foreign deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024.
The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations for both federal taxes and the many states in which the Company operates or does business in. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.
The Company records uncertain tax positions as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when the Company’s judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company hadnot recorded any uncertain tax positions in its financial statements.
The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions, where applicable. There are currently no pending tax examinations. The Company’s tax years are still open under statute from December 31, 2021, to the present. The resolution of tax matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 million its outstanding Class A common stock. Treasury stock purchases are stated at cost and presented as a reduction of equity on the 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 20 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 December 31, 2024, the remaining balance of the repurchase program was $14.4 million. During theyear ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased 996,964 shares of its Class A common stock for a total of $5.6 million, at an average purchase price per share of $5.49. 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 20 for additional information regarding the Donovitz Litigation.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The computation of basic and diluted income per common share is based on net income 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 per common share:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands, except share and per share data) | 2024 | 2023 |
| Net income per common share | ||
| Numerator: | ||
| Net income attributable to biote Corp. stockholders (basic and diluted) | $3,157 | $3,316 |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted average shares outstanding - basic | 34,270,809 | 25,709,343 |
| Effect of dilutive securities | — | — |
| Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted | 34,270,809 | 25,709,343 |
| Net income per common share | ||
| Basic | $0.09 | $0.13 |
| Diluted | $0.09 | $0.13 |
Net income per common share information for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 reflects only the net income 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 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 income per common share on an if-converted basis as these shares, together with the 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:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| RSUs | 69,827 | 414,566 |
| Stock Options | 10,310,571 | 8,141,716 |
| Class V Voting Stock | 5,221,653 | 28,819,066 |
| Member Earnout Units | 2,028,226 | 10,000,000 |

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.
On February 26, 2025, BioTE Medical entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Right Value. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, BioTE Medical agreed to pay Right Value an aggregate amount of $5.0 million according to the following schedule: (i) $3.5 million within three (3) business days upon execution of the Settlement Agreement and (ii) $1.5 million within one (1) business day following February 17, 2026. Additionally, the parties identified therein have agreed to, among other things, a customary mutual release of all claims arising out of or relating to the Right Value Litigation, except as expressly provided in the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the parties in addition to the terms described above. The Company recorded a charge related to the settlement, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for theyear ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the current portion of the liability of $3.5 million was included in accrued liabilities and the remaining $1.5 million liability was included in noncurrent liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company paid the current portion of the liability on February 28, 2025.
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 concluded on November 22, 2024, and oral arguments are set to occur in March 2025.
The Company believes the claims asserted in the July 12, 2024 Litigation are without merit and intend 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 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 binding 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.
Marci M. Donovitz
On June 5, 2024, one of the Company’s stockholders, a trust associated with Marci M. 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. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase all of the Paired Interests and shares of Class A common stock of the Company beneficially owned by Ms. Donovitz for $60.0 million in the aggregate. The Company will repurchase the shares over a three-year period commencing on June 28, 2024. In addition, the Company and Ms. Donovitz have agreed to, among other things, (i) a customary mutual release of all claims arising out of or relating to the June 5, 2024 Litigation; (ii) a voting agreement with customary terms acceptable to the Company; and, the acceleration of the purchase schedule in the event of a change of control.
On June 28, 2024, the Company repurchased 4,146,610 Paired Interests for $30.0 million. Additionally, under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company canceled 3,985,887 earnout securities.
As a result of settling the Donovitz Litigation and the June 5, 2024 Litigation, the Company recorded a combined repurchase liability of $128.4 million. Accreted interest on the share repurchase liability was $2.6 million which was included in interest expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Cindy Latch
On November 15, 2024, Cindy Latch, an actress / model who formerly appeared in one BioTE marketing video, filed suit against BioTE alleging misappropriation of her name, image and likeness by both BioTE and various of its approved practitioners (the “November 15 2024 Litigation”) and seeking a temporary restraining order and temporary injunction. The November 15 2024 Litigation is pending in the 101st Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas. On November 25, 2024, a hearing was held on Latch’s request for a temporary restraining order. That same day, the court signed an order granting a temporary restraining order purporting to restrain BioTE and “all Biote affiliates and practitioners from further utilizing Plaintiff’s image or likeness for the furtherance of any Biote business” until a temporary injunction hearing can be held. A temporary injunction hearing was held on December 9, 2024, and on that same day, the 101st Judicial District Court judge signed a temporary injunction granting essentially the same relief as in the temporary restraining order. Believing there to be numerous deficiencies in the temporary injunction, on December 17, 2024, BioTE filed a Motion for Expedited Temporary Relief Staying the Temporary Injunction Pending Appeal seeking to stay the enforcement of the temporary injunction while BioTE pursued an appeal of that order. On February 12, 2025, the 5th District Court of Appeals denied that requested relief. In the interim, on January 16, 2025, BioTE filed its appellate brief seeking to overturn the December 9 temporary injunction order. Briefing on the appeal was completed on February 25, 2025.
Gary S. Donovitz / NIL Litigation
On December 13, 2024, Donovitz filed suit against BioTE Medical alleging misappropriation of his name, image and likeness by BioTE and various of its approved practitioners (the “December 13, 2024 Litigation”) and seeking a temporary restraining order and temporary injunction. The December 13, 2024 Litigation is pending in the 101st Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas. Because BioTE contends that, pursuant to the April 23, 2024 settlement agreement, Donovitz’s claims were required to be brought before former Delaware Chancery Court Chancellor Chandler, on December 17, 2024, BioTE filed an action against Donovitz in Delaware Chancery Court (the “December 17, 2024 Litigation”) seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining Donovitz from pursuing the December 13, 2024 Litigation in Texas. On December 18, 2024, following a hearing on Donovitz’s request for a temporary restraining order, the 101st Judicial District Court judge entered a temporary restraining order purporting to enjoin Biote and “all its affiliates, partnered-clinics and practitioners” from further utilizing Donovitz’s name, image or likeness for furtherance of any Biote business until a hearing could be held on Donovitz’s request for a temporary injunction. The temporary injunction hearing was set for December 27, 2024. Also on December 18, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court issued a temporary restraining order precluding Donovitz from prosecuting the December 13, 2024 Litigation in Texas. On December 23, 2024, a hearing was held before Vice Chancellor Laster of the Delaware Chancery Court to determine if the Delaware temporary restraining order should be renewed.
Following the hearing, Vice Chancellor Laster entered an order renewing the Delaware temporary restraining order as a preliminary injunction which, again, precluded Donovitz from prosecuting the December 13, 2024 Litigation in Texas. Subsequently, on December 27, 2024, a hearing was held before the 101st Judicial District Court of Dallas County on Donovitz’s application for a temporary injunction. Following the hearing, the 101st Judicial District Court entered a temporary injunction continuing to enjoin BioTE and “all its affiliates, partnered-clinics and practitioners” from further utilizing Donovitz’s name, image or likeness for furtherance of any Biote business. BioTE has appealed the entry of the temporary injunction entered by the 101st Judicial District Court. Its opening brief was filed on February 24, 2025. Donovitz’s response is currently due on March 17, 2025. Donovitz has filed a request to appeal regarding the Delaware order renewing temporary restraining order as a preliminary injunction. The Delaware Supreme Court has not yet ruled on that request.
