Executive Summary

  • Q4 FY2025 revenue was $55.1M (+12.6% YoY), GAAP diluted EPS $0.15 and adjusted EPS $0.17; gross margin expanded 40 bps YoY to 79.9% .
  • Against S&P Global consensus, revenue missed ($57.9M* vs $55.1M) and EPS missed ($0.195* vs $0.17*), driven by U.S. softness from MindBody seasonality in late Q4, while international returned to growth .

  • Catalysts: definitive agreement to acquire LoveBiome (microbiome-focused direct seller) and a Shopify partnership to modernize e-commerce—both aimed at accelerating growth and conversion .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • International returned to growth for the first time in ~12 quarters; Asia/Pacific & Europe revenue +7.6% YoY (constant currency +1.6%), supported by the MindBody rollout to Japan, Australia, Europe, and Thailand beginning mid-March .
  • Gross margin expanded to 79.9% (+40 bps YoY), driven by favorable mix (MindBody), lower shipping costs, and reduced inventory obsolescence .
  • Strong balance sheet and capital returns: $20.2M cash, no debt, $17.3M remaining under repurchase authorization; quarterly dividend declared at $0.045 per share .
  • Quote: “Our international business returned to growth for the first time in nearly three years... demonstrates the global appeal of our activation-focused wellness solutions.” — Steve Fife, CEO .

What Went Wrong

  • Quarter landed at the low end of range; revenue below the midpoint largely due to late-quarter U.S. softness tied to MindBody seasonality (Americas still +14.1% YoY) .
  • Adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA were flat to down YoY: adjusted operating income $2.5M vs $3.2M prior year; adjusted EBITDA $4.8M vs $4.8M, with convention and variable comp costs lifting SG&A .
  • SG&A rose to 33.9% of revenue (adjusted 33.3%), reflecting global convention and higher variable employee compensation; commissions still elevated at 42.1% (though down from 44.9% YoY) .

Management Commentary

  • Strategy and momentum: “We’ve built a powerful, dynamic ecosystem focused on holistic wellness... well positioned for continued growth and margin expansion.” — Steve Fife .
  • International recovery: “International business returned to growth... rollout of MindBody to Japan, Australia, Europe, and Thailand... momentum continues to build.” — Steve Fife .
  • LoveBiome rationale: “Leader in the emerging microbiome health sector... P84 regulates, repairs, and restores the gut microbiome... aligns with our activation story.” — Steve Fife .
  • Shopify partnership: “Enables significant growth potential... increased conversions, personalization, payment security... greater efficiency, faster innovation.” — Steve Fife .
  • Financial discipline: “Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 impacted by timing of our annual global convention... financial position remains strong, with $20.2M of cash and no debt.” — Carl Aure .

Q&A Highlights

  • Quarter at low-end: Analyst noted revenue ~$3M below midpoint; management attributed miss to U.S. seasonality effects in Q4 while international was strong .
  • FY2026 growth drivers: Guidance implies low single-digit growth; management expects a modest LoveBiome contribution plus organic growth with H2>H1 weighting .
  • LoveBiome disclosure: Limited near-term visibility on LoveBiome revenue/consultant metrics; timeline to close mid-October and integrate by end of Q2 FY2026 .
  • Product synergy: Microbiome (P84) complements GLP-1 MindBody; expectation of synergistic benefits when used together .

Values marked with an asterisk (*) were retrieved from S&P Global.

Interpretation: Q4 missed both revenue and EPS vs consensus, following two consecutive EPS beats (Q2, Q3). Street may adjust near-term EPS and revenue assumptions lower given U.S. seasonality commentary and SG&A headwinds.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Q4 showed continued YoY growth and margin resilience but landed below consensus as U.S. demand softened late in the quarter; watch U.S. seasonality cadence for MindBody into FY2026 .
  • International inflection is meaningful: APAC/Europe resumed growth, suggesting the MB System rollout is working and diversifying mix; this supports FY2026 guidance and 2H-weighted revenue expectations .
  • Operating leverage will depend on SG&A normalization after convention and careful incentive management; margins benefited from mix, shipping, and obsolescence, but higher variable comp pressured Q4 .
  • LoveBiome and Shopify are strategic—microbiome category adjacency and tech stack modernization can expand TAM and conversion rates; integration execution and cross-selling efficacy are the swing factors .
  • Balance sheet strength (cash, no debt, repurchase authorization) and recurring dividends provide flexibility for integration and marketing investments while supporting shareholder returns .
  • Near-term, expect Street to temper Q1–Q2 FY2026 forecasts given H2 weighting and acquisition timing; monitor updates on LoveBiome close, consultant migration, and Shopify go-live .
  • Actionable: Position around potential H2 FY2026 acceleration, track international MB momentum, watch SG&A trajectory post-convention, and assess microbiome growth contribution post-close.
