MANAGEMENT ’ S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “continue”, and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this Annual Report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Annual Report. Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share data. Recent Developments Acquisition of Mimi ’ s Rock Corp On December 4, 2022, the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement with Mimi’s Rock Corp. (“ MRC ”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire MRC. On February 28, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of MRC for $17,099. Of this amount, $12,500 was funded using proceeds from a term loan provided by First Citizens Bank, with the remainder funded from the Company’s available cash balances. See Note 8 to the financial statements for additional disclosure regarding the acquisition. Acquisition of MusclePharm Assets On October 10, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of MusclePharm Corporation (“ MusclePharm ”) through an asset purchase transaction under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed none of the liabilities of MusclePharm other than de minimus cure costs relating to certain assumed contracts. Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $18,500. Of this amount, $10,000 was funded using proceeds from a new term loan provided by First Citizens Bank, with the remainder funded from the Company’s available cash balances. See Note 9 to the financial statements for additional disclosure regarding the acquisition. Critical Accounting Policies Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“ GAAP ”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales and expense recognized during the periods presented. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, allowance for inventory obsolescence, product returns, depreciable lives of property and equipment, allocation of purchase price from business combinations, analysis of impairment of goodwill, realization of deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using end-of-period exchange rates. Changes in reported amounts of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that occur as a result of changes in exchange rates between foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies and the U.S. dollar are included in foreign currency translation adjustment. Foreign currency translation adjustment is included as a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue and expense transactions use an average rate prevailing during the period of the related transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each subsidiary are included in the results of operations as incurred. -16- Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts All of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company will maintain allowances for doubtful accounts, estimating losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for products. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped into categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is recorded based upon management’s assessment of collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had provided a reserve for doubtful accounts of $17 and $50, respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ ASC 740 ”). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax liabilities of the Company relate primarily to intangible assets that are not deductible for tax purposes in the jurisdictions to which they relate. The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions. Product Returns, Sales Incentives and Other Forms of Variable Consideration In measuring revenue and determining the consideration the Company is entitled to as part of a contract with a customer, the Company takes into account the related elements of variable consideration. Such elements of variable consideration include, but are not limited to, product returns and sales incentives, such as markdowns and margin adjustments. For these types of arrangements, the adjustments to revenue are recorded at the later of when (i) the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related products to the customers, or (ii) the Company pays, or promises to pay, the consideration. We currently have a 30-day product return policy for direct-to-consumer sales, which allows for a 100% sales price refund for the return of unopened and undamaged products purchased from us online through one of our websites or e-commerce platforms. Product sold to certain wholesale customers may be returned from store shelves or the distribution center in the event product is damaged, short dated, expired or recalled. GNC maintains a customer satisfaction program which allows customers to return product to the store for credit or refund. Subject to certain terms and restrictions, GNC may require reimbursement from vendors for unsaleable returned product through either direct payment or credit against a future invoice. We also support a product return policy for iSatori Products, whereby customers can return product for credit or refund. Product returns can and do occur from time to time and can be material. -17- For the sale of goods with a right of return, the Company estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount method and recognizes revenue for the consideration it expects to be entitled to when control of the related product is transferred to the customers and records a product returns liability for the amount it expects to credit back its customers. Under this method, certain forms of variable consideration are based on expected sell-through results, which requires subjective estimates. These estimates are supported by historical results as well as specific facts and circumstances related to the current period. The product returns liability includes estimates that directly impact reported revenue. These estimates are calculated based on a history of actual returns, estimated future returns and information provided by customers regarding their inventory levels. Consideration of these factors results in an estimate for anticipated sales returns that reflects increases or decreases related to seasonal fluctuations. In addition, as necessary, product returns liability may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that are considered, and will continue to be considered, include, but are not limited to, changes in the retail environment and the Company's decision to continue to support new and existing products. Information for product returns is received on a regular basis and adjusted for accordingly. Adjustments for returns are based on factual information and historical trends for all Company Products and are specific to each distribution channel. We monitor, among other things, remaining shelf life and sell-through data on a weekly basis. If we determine there are any risks or issues with any specific products, we accrue sales return allowances based on management’s assessment of the overall risk and likelihood of returns in light of all information available. Total allowance for product returns, sales returns and incentive programs as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $571 and $590, respectively. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and/or our ability to sell the product(s) concerned and production requirements. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction in the rate of reorders placed by customers. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. Total allowance for expiring, excess and slow-moving inventory items as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $162 and $107, respectively. Goodwill The Company has determined that it has a single reporting unit for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment test. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform an impairment test. If the qualitative assessment warrants further analysis, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using the market approach. The Company determines the amount of a potential goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge is recognized. As the Company uses the market approach to determine fair value of the reporting unit, the price of its common stock is an important component of the fair value calculation. If the Company’s stock price experiences significant price and volume fluctuations, this will impact the fair value of the reporting unit, which can lead to potential impairment in future periods. There were no impairment charges incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of nutritional supplements and wellness products to consumers. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products to our customers based on written sales terms. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the products to a customer. -18- All products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and consist of nutritional supplements and wellness products. The products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. The Company’s products are also sold on e-commerce platforms including Amazon. For these transactions, the Company evaluated principal versus agent considerations to determine appropriateness of recording distribution and platform fees paid to third-party e-commerce companies as an expense or as a reduction of revenue. The Company records distribution and platform fees to cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Distribution and platform fees are not recorded as a reduction of revenue because the Company: 1) owns the goods before they are transferred to the customer, 2) can direct Amazon, similar to other third-party logistics providers (“Logistic Providers”), to return the Company’s inventory to any location specified by the Company, 3) has the responsibility to make customers whole following any returns made by customers directly to Logistic Providers and the Company retains the back-end inventory risk, 4) is subject to credit risk (i.e., credit card chargebacks), 5) establishes prices of its products, 6) can determine who fulfills the goods to the customer (Amazon or the Company) and 7) can limit quantities or stop selling the goods at any time. Based on these considerations, the Company is the principal in this arrangement. Advertising fees paid to Amazon are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company disaggregates revenue into geographical regions and distribution channels. The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Online revenue, which consists of revenue generated from sales on the Company’s own websites as well as third-party e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, for the year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately 63% of total revenue, compared to roughly 28% of total revenue during the same twelve-month period in 2022. Sales to customers in the U.S. were approximately 93% and 99% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with the balance of sales to customers primarily in Canada. Control of products we sell transfers to customers upon shipment from our facilities or delivery to our customers, and the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than promised goods to the customer. Payments for sales are generally made by check, credit card, or wire transfer. Historically the Company has not experienced any significant payment delays from customers. For direct-to-consumer sales, the Company allows for returns within 30 days of purchase. Our wholesale customers, such as GNC, may return purchased products to the Company under certain circumstances, which include expired or soon-to-be-expired products located in GNC corporate stores or at any of its distribution centers, and products that are subject to a recall or that contain an ingredient or ingredients that are subject to a recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A right of return does not represent a separate performance obligation, but because customers are allowed to return products, the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled is variable. Upon evaluation of returns, the Company determined that product returns are immaterial, and therefore believes it is probable that such returns will not cause a significant reversal of revenue in the future. We assess our contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis. Stock Compensation.Expense The Company periodically issues restricted share units (“ RSUs ”), stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to the terms established at the issuance date. Stock-based payments to officers, directors, employees and consultants for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees, which include grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . Stock-based payments to officers, directors, and employees that are time vested are measured at the grant date fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The fair value of stock-based payments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or other applicable valuation model such as the Monte Carlo valuation pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends. The assumptions used could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. -19- Recent Accounting Pronouncements See Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for a description of recent accounting pronouncements believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future financial statements. Results of Operations Year ended December 31, 2023 Year ended December 31, 2022 $ Change % Change Revenue $ 52,700 $ 28,803 $ 23,897 83 % Cost of goods sold 31,268 16,769 14,499 86 % Gross profit 21,432 12,034 9,398 78 % Gross margin percentage 40.7 % 41.8 % Operating expense: Selling, general and administrative expense 12,161 6,010 6,151 102 % Merger and acquisition related expense 1,627 257 1,370 533 % Depreciation and amortization 94 66 28 42 % Total operating expense 13,882 6,333 7,549 119 % Income from operations 7,550 5,701 1,849 32 % Other expense (income) 547 (121 ) 668 n/m % Provision for income tax 1,707 1,393 314 23 % Net income $ 5,296 $ 4,429 $ 867 20 % Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022 Revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased 83% to $52,700 as compared to $28,803 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increased revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the prior year is primarily due to revenue generated from MRC, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2023. Legacy FitLife revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $28,100, a 3% decrease compared to the previous year, driven by a 9% decline in wholesale revenue, partially offset by a 14% increase in online revenue. The acquisition of MusclePharm had minimal impact on revenue due to (1) the transaction closing during the fourth quarter, (2) the need to procure inventory since only $195 of inventory was acquired in the asset purchase, and (3) the need to negotiate new commercial agreements with MusclePharm’s existing customers. Online revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately 63% of total revenue, compared to roughly 28% of total revenue during the same twelve-month period in 2022. Although no assurances can be given, management believes that online revenue will continue to increase in subsequent periods relative to prior comparable periods given management’s focus on higher margin online sales and the acquisition of both MRC and MusclePharm, which were consummated in the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively. Sales to customers in the U.S. were approximately 93% and 99% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with the balance of sales primarily to customers in Canada. The Company continually reformulates and introduces new products, as well as seeks to increase both the number of stores and number of approved products that can be sold within the GNC franchise system that comprise its domestic and international distribution footprint. Management also believes that its focus on developing its e-commerce capabilities will drive additional incremental sales in the short-term, while yielding substantial benefits in the longer-term. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased 86% to $31,268 as compared to $16,769 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $14,499 is primarily due to an increase in revenue attributable to the acquisition of MRC as well as higher distribution costs resulting from increased sales through online channels. -20- Gross Profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased to $21,432 as compared to $12,034 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This 78% increase in gross profit is attributable to higher revenue driven primarily by the acquisition of MRC. Gross Margin . Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased to 40.7% from 41.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to the amortization of the fair value step-up to MRC inventory acquired as well as higher product costs due to inflationary pressure. Excluding the $323 impact of the step-up amortization, gross margin would have been 41.3% during the year ended December 31, 2023. Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative (“ SG&A ”) expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $6,151 to $12,161 as compared to $6,010 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of SG&A expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements attributable to MRC. Merger and Acquisition Related Expense. Merger and acquisition related expense increased to $1,627 for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $257 for the same period of 2022, driven primarily by acquisition costs related to MRC. Net Income. We generated a net income of $5,296 for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 20% compared to net income of $4,429 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of MRC, partially offset by approximately $2.1 million of non-recurring items associated with the transaction. Non-GAAP Measures The financial presentation below contains certain financial measures not in accordance with GAAP , defined by the SEC as “non-GAAP financial measures”, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in this Annual Report in accordance with GAAP. As presented below, EBITDA excludes interest, foreign exchange gains and losses, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes—in addition to interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization—stock-based compensation, merger and acquisition related expense and other non-recurring costs. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expense and other items that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. The Company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures in the financial presentation below allows investors to compare the Company’s financial results with the Company’s historical financial results and is an important measure of the Company’s comparative financial performance. Year ended December 31, 2023 2022 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Net income $ 5,296 $ 4,429 Interest expense 1,025 - Interest income (289 ) (121 ) Foreign exchange (gain) loss (189 ) - Provision for income taxes 1,707 1,393 Depreciation and amortization 94 66 EBITDA 7,644 5,767 Non-cash and non-recurring adjustments Stock compensation expense 473 363 Merger and acquisition related expense 1,627 257 Amortization of inventory step-up 323 - Non-recurring loss on foreign currency forward contract 112 - Restatement-related costs - 318 Adjusted EBITDA $ 10,179 $ 6,705 -21- Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2023, the Company had positive working capital of $4,356, compared to $18,933 at December 31, 2022. Our principal sources of liquidity at December 31, 2023 consisted of $1,139 of cash and $2,046 of accounts receivable. The decrease in working capital is principally attributable to (i) the acquisition of MusclePharm for $18,788, of which $10,000 was funded from proceeds of the Amended Credit Agreement, defined below, and $8,788 from the Company’s available cash, and (ii) the acquisition of MRC for $17,099, of which $12,500 was funded from proceeds of the Credit Agreement, defined below, and $4,599 from the Company’s available cash, partially offset by cash flows from operating activities during fiscal 2023. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (each an “ Event of Default ”), which upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, interest will accrue at the Applicable Rate plus 2% per annum, and the Bank may declare all Obligations, with interest thereon, immediately due and payable. The Amended Credit Agreement further contains customary representations and warranties of the Company; customary indemnification provisions whereby the Company will indemnify Bank for certain losses arising out of inaccuracies in, or breaches of, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, and certain other matters; and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as tested quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis, starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023, a Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 as tested quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis, starting with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024, and to the extent the Term Loans still have a balance as of June 30, 2025 and a Cash Flow Leverage threshold (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1.15 is not met, the Company will be required to make a prepayment on the Term Loan equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, no borrowings were outstanding on the Company’s $3,500 Line of Credit. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through cash flow from operations and equity and debt financings. The Company currently anticipates that cash derived from operations and existing cash resources, along with available borrowings under the Line of Credit, will be sufficient to provide for the Company’s liquidity for the next twelve months. -22- The Company is dependent on cash flow from operations and amounts available under the Line of Credit to satisfy its working capital requirements. No assurances can be given that cash flow from operations and/or the Line of Credit will be sufficient to provide for the Company’s liquidity for the next twelve months. Should the Company be unable to generate sufficient revenue in the future to achieve positive cash flow from operations, and/or should capital be unavailable under the terms of the Line of Credit, additional working capital will be required. Management currently has no intention to raise additional working capital through the sale of equity or debt securities and believes that the cash flow from operations and available borrowings under the Line of Credit will provide sufficient capital necessary to operate the business over the next twelve months. In the event the Company fails to achieve positive cash flow from operations, additional capital is unavailable under the terms of the Line of Credit, and management is otherwise unable to secure additional working capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities, the Company’s business would be materially and adversely harmed. Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $4,220 during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4,130 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven primarily by the acquisition of MRC, which was largely offset by transaction-related costs as well as payment of a number of payables and other expenses that were accrued at MRC at the time of the acquisition. Cash Used in Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 was $35,993 and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
