Here are the key takeaways from biote’s conference call:

• Negative Sentiment: Second-quarter revenue fell 9.5% to $44.2 million, while procedure revenue declined 13.9% to $30.3 million, pressured by the voluntary pellet recall, supply constraints, clinic attrition, and slower new-clinic productivity.
• Negative Sentiment: Biote lowered its 2026 outlook to revenue above $175 million and adjusted EBITDA above $25 million, compared with prior guidance of more than $190 million and $38 million, respectively; year-over-year procedure revenue is now expected to remain negative in the second half.
• Positive Sentiment: Management said Asteria Health’s supply continuity and inventory levels have normalized, with a second production shift added; reduced reliance on higher-cost third-party pellets is expected to improve gross margins beginning in the third quarter.
• Neutral Sentiment: The company is entering a second strategic phase focused on clinic retention, practitioner engagement, sales-force productivity, and faster new-clinic ramp-up, while also evaluating disciplined inorganic opportunities that could expand its market footprint.
• Positive Sentiment: Dietary-supplement revenue increased 5.7% to $11.4 million, supported by e-commerce and strong adoption among existing clinicians, and is expected to grow at a mid- to high-single-digit rate for 2026; recently resolved legal matters should also reduce future expenses.
