Medifast Scientific & Clinical Affairs Team Showcases New Research in Metabolic Health At ObesityWeek Conference Medifast continues to lead the charge in addressing the growing health crisis of metabolic dysfunction by unveiling new research findings during ObesityWeek. Hosted by The Obesity Society in Atlanta, Georgia November 4-7, 2025, the annual conference for obesity researchers and clinicians centers on the latest developments in evidence-based obesity science: cutting-edge basic and clinical research, state-of-the-art obesity treatment and prevention and the latest efforts in advocacy and public policy. With a proud legacy of more than 40 years of clinical and scientific innovation, the Medifast Scientific and Clinical Affairs (S&CA) team continues to play a pivotal role in driving forward the understanding and management of metabolic health challenges. As part of the company's recently announced strategic transformation centered on metabolic health, Medifast's S&CA team presented two research studies that underscore its commitment to tackling metabolic dysfunction and promoting holistic health: "Mind the Plateau: Addressing Long-Term Weight Loss with Anti-Obesity Medications" - This study evaluates the long-term effects of GLP-1 medications, noting a weight loss plateau after 96 weeks of treatment with the highest dosage (15mg of Tirzepatide). It also reports a significant rebound in energy intake following medication discontinuation, leading to weight regain. Specifically, poor sleep quality increased the odds of obesity by 1.8 times and diabetes by 2.5 times over an average 12-year follow-up period. These findingsunderscore that sleep health should be considered alongside diet and physical activity as a core pillar of preventive health, healthy aging and optimal metabolic health. This research reinforces Medifast's broader business strategy introduced in October 2025 with the launch of Metabolic Synchronization™?, a breakthrough science that reverses metabolic dysfunction through a targeted reset of the body's metabolism. In addition to the conference presentations, Medifast Scientific Advisory Board member Dr. Jessica Unick, a Professor at Brown University and Senior Research Scientist at The Miriam Hospital's weight Control and Diabetes Research Center, co-authored a study alongside Medifast S&CA team members that explored predictors of weight loss. The study emphasized the importance of adherence and early intervention as key predictors of meaningful weight loss. With 30+ peer-reviewed studies, 70+ presentations and more than 40 years of clinical heritage, Medifast continues to set benchmarks for scientific rigor and innovation in the health and wellness industry. The S&CA team leads by example, leveraging their expertise at the crossroads of science and wellness to drive transformative change and support individuals on their wellness journeys.

Medifast, Inc. Announces Strategic Shift to Metabolic Health with the Introduction of Metabolic Synchronization Medifast, Inc. announced a strategic transformation, unveiling a new focus on holistic metabolic health. The company introduced Metabolic Synchronization™? -- a breakthrough science that reverses metabolic dysfunction with a targeted reset of the body's metabolism. Research shows the company's comprehensive system activates strong and targeted fat burn to improve metabolic health by reducing bad visceral fat, preserving lean mass and protecting muscle. This approach results in quality weight loss that goes beyond the scale, ultimately empowering individuals to reach their health goals. With nine in ten U.S. adults metabolically unhealthy, the country is facing a health crisis. Metabolic health -- often misunderstood or overlooked -- refers to the body's ability to efficiently convert food into energy, regulate critical body functions and maintain internal balance. Metabolic dysfunction is a state that can oftenently slip in and can put the body's metabolic processes under strain, cascading into some of today's most serious health challenges. Building on its legacy of transforming lives, Medifast is advancing its approach with Metabolic Synchronization™®?, a breakthrough science that reversales metabolic dysfunction with a targeted restart of the body's metabolism. This new science leverages years of clinical evidence to deliver results beyond the number on the scale. The first step of Metabolic Synchronization is quality weight loss. Recent breakthrough research shows the company's comprehensive system activate strong and targeted fat burn, driving measurable improvements in overall metabolic health and body composition through three key mechanisms: Burn: Targets visceral fat -- the bad fat stored around organs and muscles -- achieving a 14% reduction in vascular fat in just 16 weeks. Preserve: Helps retain 98% of lean mass, supporting strength, energy and mobility during weight loss. Protect: Supports healthy muscle to help restore the body's natural ability to improve an active metabolism, optimize energy use and regulate body weight. By focusing on the root causes of metabolic dysfunction, Medifast is unlocking new opportunities to reach and empower individuals at every stage of their health journey. For people utilizing weight loss medications, Medifast's programs provide complementary solutions to enhance metabolic function and overall health. For those pursuing a medication-free approach, the company's science-backed system offers an effective alternative, delivering measurable results through its holistic focus on metabolic health. Backed by Science, Driven by Innovation and Connection: With over 40 years of industry leadership, supported by 30+ peer-reviewed publications and clinical studies, Medifast remains committed to advancing science and innovation. The company's structured programs remain integral to this evolution, providing clients with a trusted foundation for metabolic health. Medifast also continues to stand apart with its human-centered approach. Clients who work with a personal coach experience 10 times greater weight loss and 17 times greater fat loss than those pursuing self-directed approaches+. Looking ahead, the company plans to launch new products using the science of metabolic synchronization in 2026, incorporating next-generation ingredients that further enhance metabolic health.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 76% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 76% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.4% average weekly change). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€99k sold). Reported Earnings • Apr 30

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 7.3% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Feb 21

New Risk • Oct 31
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €392k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 25% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€392k sold).
