Analysis · BTMD · Life Sciences
A sharp reversal from profit to loss in Q2 2026 underscores deepening strain at Biote. Revenue fell 9.5% and Adjusted EBITDA collapsed to $5.6M from $15.2M a year ago, as the voluntary pellet recall continued to weigh on procedure revenue and margins. Management responded by slashing full-year guidance, now calling for revenue above $175M and Adjusted EBITDA above $25M—a significant downgrade from the trajectory implied by prior commentary. With cash down to $11.2M from $24.1M at year-end and a recent CEO departure, the results highlight mounting operational and financial pressure.
