Lifevantage Corp (LFVN)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q2 FY25 was an inflection quarter: revenue rose 31.3% YoY to a record $67.8M (+43.5% QoQ), driven by U.S. demand for the MindBody GLP-1 System; gross margin expanded 190 bps to 80.5% and adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $6.5M (9.6% margin). Management raised FY25 revenue, EBITDA, and EPS guidance and declared a $0.04 dividend .
  • Americas revenue grew 46.3% YoY to $57.2M while APAC/Europe fell 15.5% (FX headwind), reflecting product-led momentum in the U.S. and ongoing international softness; Active Accounts surged 25% sequentially in the Americas as enrollments hit a five-year high .
  • Near-term headwind: elevated commissions/incentives (48% of revenue in Q2) tied to promotional program qualifications that run through March; management expects normalization to ~44% in Q4, with EBITDA flow-through similar or slightly better in the back half .
  • Stock-reaction catalysts: guidance raise (revenue to $235–$245M; adj. EBITDA to $21–$24M; adj. EPS to $0.72–$0.88), rapid adoption/subscription attach for MindBody, and international rollout beginning March (Japan) and April (other markets) .
  • Consensus context: S&P Global consensus for Q2 FY25 (revenue/EPS) was unavailable at time of analysis; beats/misses vs. estimates cannot be determined (SPGI API quota exceeded).

    • Commissions/incentives rose to 48% of revenue (from 42.1%) due to higher qualifications and mix shift; management expects elevated incentives to persist into Q3 before normalizing in Q4 ~44% .
    • Launch-related stock-outs (Nov–mid-Dec) created lumpiness; January softer given December shipment catch-up (multiple systems received late December) .

Management Commentary

  • “Second quarter results were outstanding with year-over-year revenue growth exceeding 31% to a record $67.8 million, driven by tremendous demand for the MindBody GLP-1 System… We are just at the beginning of this exciting journey and with a strong balance sheet and leverageable platform, are well positioned for long-term success.” – Steve Fife, President & CEO .
  • “Our performance in Q2 significantly exceeded initial expectations… adjusted EBITDA more than doubling to $6.5 million or 9.6% of revenue… We have now secured sufficient manufacturing capacity and strengthened our supply chain… Our active accounts metrics are particularly encouraging, including the highest number of enrollments in a quarter since 2019.” – Steve Fife .
  • “Subscription metrics are also trending up and are currently above 70%… MindBody… is positioned as a long-term lifestyle product… All those who lost weight in the clinical notably maintain their muscle mass.” – Steve Fife .
  • “Gross margin was 80.5%… increase… due to product mix (strong sales of MindBody) and lower inventory obsolescence/variance… Adjusted EBITDA… 9.6% of revenues… we now expect FY25 adjusted EBITDA $21–$24M and adjusted EPS $0.72–$0.88.” – Carl Aure, CFO .

Q&A Highlights

  • Incentives expected to remain elevated in Q3 due to existing program qualifications through March; normalizing to ~44% by Q4 .
  • EBITDA flow-through expected to be consistent or slightly better in H2; further operating leverage anticipated into FY26 .
  • Monthly cadence: October a record month; stock-outs hampered November to mid-December; backlog cleared by end-December; January softer given December shipment catch-up .
  • Subscription attach: company-wide >70%; MindBody “low double digits” higher than company average; >50% of new MindBody customers joined on subscription in Q2 .
  • Stacks/mix: 80–85% of MindBody revenue was stand-alone in Q2; mix expected to shift toward stacks (e.g., with Protandim/collagen) as science and selling motion evolve .
  • International rollout: Japan toward late March; broader markets in April; international in vitro results consistent with U.S. formula .
  • Capital allocation: special dividend remains an option but balanced against brand investments and inventory build for global launches .

Estimates Context

  • Wall Street consensus estimates (S&P Global) for Q2 FY25 revenue and EPS were unavailable at time of analysis due to SPGI API quota limitations. As a result, we cannot quantify beats/misses vs. consensus for this quarter.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Product-led acceleration: MindBody GLP-1 is driving record revenue, higher gross margins, and strong subscription attach; momentum likely supported by international launches beginning March/April .
  • Profitability trajectory intact despite near-term incentive pressure; incentives should normalize by Q4 (~44%), supporting margin expansion into FY26 per management .
  • Mix and cross-sell benefits: early signs of stack adoption and broader portfolio halo (Protandim/collagen) should sustain revenue per consultant and gross margin tailwinds .
  • International is the next growth leg (U.S. >80% of revenue today); regulatory-ready formula and in vitro validation de-risk launch .
  • Guidance raise is material: FY25 revenue up ~17% at midpoint vs. prior, with higher EBITDA and EPS ranges; tax rate lowered; dividend maintained .
  • Watch APAC/Japan FX and regional recovery; Americas currently carrying growth; better balance post-international launch could reduce geographic concentration risk .
  • Capital allocation optionality remains (buybacks, regular dividend, potential special dividend), but inventory/brand investments may take priority near term to support scale .
