- Operating expenses stepped down sequentially to $1.94M (from $2.38M in Q2) as the company ramped marketing ($0.721M in Q3) while reducing quarter-over-quarter spend elsewhere; net loss improved to $(1.80)M and diluted loss/share to $(0.11) from $(0.14) in Q2 .
- No formal financial guidance; management outlined Q4 initiatives (new product categories, website redesign, affiliate program targeting 500 affiliates, digital marketing agency engagement, and UK-focused global expansion) which are potential catalysts for volume and brand awareness through year-end .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Accelerating customer and subscription metrics: “Subscription sales increased 65% from Q1 to Q3, with Q2 to Q3 sequential growth of 47%, demonstrating an accelerating growth curve” .
- Brand and go-to-market progress: “We believe we are finally beginning to see accelerating growth in brand recognition and revenues… Stay tuned. The excitement is just beginning!” — CEO Jacob Cohen .
- Revenue momentum driven by marketing partnerships: sequential revenue growth of 28.8% (Q1→Q2) and 42.5% (Q2→Q3), attributed to brand prominence, Barstool Sports/Audacy promotions, and IPO-funded marketing .
What Went Wrong
- Heavy operating cost base and losses: Q3 operating expenses of $1.94M drove a net loss of $(1.80)M despite revenue growth; operating model not yet at scale to cover spend .
- Continued reliance on related-party pharmacy and regulatory exposure: related-party cost of revenues persisted, and MD&A highlights FDA compounding risks and broader regulatory/compliance factors that could impede sales or require changes to operations .
- Funding needs and dilution risk: management disclosed working capital of ~$1.2M and stated current capital resources are not sufficient for the next 12 months absent additional financing, potentially dilutive .

Management Commentary
- “We believe we are finally beginning to see accelerating growth in brand recognition and revenues. We plan to continue to invest in driving new customer acquisition in our flagship Mango ED products… while expanding into new verticals… The excitement is just beginning!” — Jacob Cohen, CEO .
- Operational focus: expansion to new product categories (hair loss, weight loss, performance, hormone therapies); new website rollout; affiliate program scaling to 500 affiliates by year-end; engagement of ADM to optimize social media advertising; UK/LatAm exploration via sponsorship and market assessment .
- MD&A reiterates ED product is compounded under Section 503A, with explicit risk disclosures around FDA, “essentially copies” limits, and patient safety/regulatory exposure .
Q&A Highlights
- No Q3 2023 earnings call transcript available for Q&A review (no transcript found in the document catalog).
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for Q3 2023 (Revenue, EPS) were unavailable during this request due to access limits; therefore, beat/miss analysis versus Street could not be performed. Consider re-running when access is restored to update investor comparison.
- Based on actuals, revenue was $0.245M and diluted EPS was $(0.11); momentum trends are sequentially positive, but without consensus data, implied Street positioning is unknown .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Revenue trajectory improving with sequential growth (+42.5% Q2→Q3) and expanding gross profit; scale remains nascent relative to expense base .
- Operating discipline is starting to show (opex down Q/Q), but losses remain significant; monitor marketing efficiency (CAC/AOV/refill rates) given Q3 marketing spend of $0.721M .
- Subscription economics are a key lever: faster growth (+65% Q1→Q3) and refills suggest rising LTV; management’s target to raise subscription share (10%→20–25%) could stabilize revenue if achieved .
- Execution catalysts into Q4: affiliate program scale (goal 500), new product category launches, site redesign, and new agency engagement could accelerate customer acquisition and AOV .
- Structural/regulatory risks and related-party reliance (Epiq Scripts) are material; recent MSA addendum and consulting agreement formalize rights but underscore concentration and compliance dependencies .
- Liquidity watch: working capital ~$1.2M and disclosure that current resources are insufficient for 12 months; funding likely required (equity/dilution risk) unless revenue inflects materially .
- Re-run a Street comparison when consensus is accessible to refine expectations and gauge potential upside/downside versus market models.
