H&
Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (HIMS)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Delivered strong top-line growth and an across-the-board operational scale-up: revenue rose 49% YoY to $598.98M with subscribers up 21% YoY to ~2.47M and Monthly Online Revenue per Avg. Subscriber up 19% YoY to $80 . Beat S&P consensus revenue ($579.85M*) for Q3; company reported gross margin 74% (down ~500 bps YoY) and diluted EPS $0.06 .
- Tightened guidance: FY25 revenue to $2.335–$2.355B and Adjusted EBITDA to $307–$317M; Q4 revenue guided to $605–$625M and Adjusted EBITDA to $55–$65M (9–10% margin) .
- Mix and execution dynamics: GLP‑1 compounding shift to 503(a) and shorter shipping cadences reduced recognized revenue per shipment and increased fulfillment costs, pressuring gross margins; management expects a $20–$25M headwind in Q4 and normalization in 2H26 as refill cohorts stack .
- Strategic catalysts: active discussions with Novo Nordisk on Wegovy injections and future oral Wegovy, launch of Hers menopause/perimenopause specialty, collaboration to offer KYZATREX (oral testosterone) in 2026, and imminent launch of comprehensive lab testing (foundation for a 2026 Longevity specialty) .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Broad-based growth with strong unit economics: revenue +49% YoY to $598.98M; Adjusted EBITDA +53% YoY to $78.37M; OCF $148.72M and FCF $79.36M in Q3 .
- Mix shift to personalization driving higher ARPU and retention: Monthly Online Revenue per Avg. Subscriber rose to $80 (+19% YoY); subscribers using personalized treatment plans +50% YoY; management: “Scale doesn’t just make us bigger, it makes us better” .
- Marketing leverage and balance sheet strength: marketing fell to 39% of revenue (from 45% YoY); liquidity ~$1.1B (cash, ST and LT investments) with opportunistic $10M buybacks; “track record of execution” underpinning 2030 targets .
What Went Wrong
- Gross margin pressure: down ~500 bps YoY to 74% on shorter shipping cadences for certain weight-loss offerings and related fulfillment costs; partly offset by scale in non-weight specialties .
- Elevated G&A and Ops: Zava integration and leadership hires lifted G&A to 13% of revenue (from 11%); Ops & support rose to 13% (from 12%) .
- Near-term GLP-1 revenue recognition headwind: shift to smaller shipments drives $20–$25M Q4 headwind; sexual health transition away from on-demand solutions still a drag through 2025 .

Management Commentary
- CEO (prepared remarks): “We’re launching new specialties at an increasing pace… making significant progress in establishing Hims & Hers as a truly global brand.”
- CEO (on verticalization and affordability): “We strategically reduced prices across compounded GLP‑1 treatment plans by as much as 20%… extending accessible care to an even broader population.”
- CFO (profitability and leverage): “Adjusted EBITDA grew more than 50% YoY to $78M… Marketing as a percentage of revenue was 39%, representing more than six points of leverage YoY.”
- CFO (investment cadence): “We may see a temporary pause in YoY margin expansion as we invest… we have a much broader set of levers and expect mid‑term margin expansion.”
Q&A Highlights
- GLP‑1 cadence headwind/normalization: Smaller shipment cadence drives a $20–$25M Q4 revenue headwind; dynamic expected to normalize in 2H26 as cohorts stack .
- Hers growth path: Hers offerings have grown near/at triple digits and are “on pace to deliver revenue of over $1B in 2026,” with menopause, diagnostics, and longevity as incremental drivers .
- International rollout: Zava integration validates demand; Canada launch near‑term with generic semaglutide expected in 2026; evaluating Brazil/Australia/Japan; scaling clinician networks per market .
- Marketing efficiency: Greater organic/low-cost acquisition and stronger retention from personalized offerings; maintain ~1‑year payback discipline while leaning into 2026 growth opportunities .
- Novo Nordisk: Parties are in active discussions; no specifics disclosed; Hims seeks breadth of options to optimize patient outcomes and affordability .

Estimates Comparison (S&P Global)
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Top-line beat with strong subscriber and ARPU gains, but gross margin headwinds from GLP‑1 shipment cadence and fulfillment costs muted flow-through; watch 2H26 normalization .
- FY25 guidance tightened higher at the midpoint; Q4 guide embeds ~$20–$25M GLP‑1 cadence headwind yet still brackets S&P revenue consensus—execution bar remains manageable .
- Non-GAAP vs GAAP framing matters: company’s Adjusted EBITDA ($78.37M) diverges from S&P EBITDA ($30.01M*)—investors should anchor valuation/coverage ratios on consistent definitions .
- New specialties (menopause/perimenopause, testosterone), diagnostics launch, and 2026 Longevity offering broaden TAM and deepen relationships—near-term OpEx investments may pause margin expansion but aim to unlock mid-term operating leverage .
- Potential Novo Wegovy access, GRAIL investment, and international expansion (Zava integration, Spain launch, Canada next) are multi-year catalysts; monitor partnership execution and regulatory contours around compounding .
- Stock narrative: revenue resilience and pipeline breadth are positives; near-term gross margin pressure and cadence headwinds are the swing factors into Q4; partnership headlines (Novo) could be material catalysts .
