New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of British stocks, typically moving 12% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility 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. It may also indicate 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Aug 04

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 54% per year over the past 5 years. 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 declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. 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 have declined by 54% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.3% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$99.9m market cap). New Risk • Jul 24

Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.

The launch also introduces newly formulated meal replacements, including the Trilivy Reset Fueling line enhanced with MetaVantage Technology, a platform of proprietary ingredient formulas intended to optimize metabolism by unlocking key metabolic pathways. The launch of Trilivy marks a major corporate transformation, and the beginning of a new era focused on optimal metabolic health. The transition from OPTAVIA to a new brand with the launch of Trilivy represents an evolution of the company’s vision, expanding beyond traditional weight loss to address the broader metabolic health challenges impacting more than 90% of U.S. adults. At the center of the system is Metabolic Synchronization, the company’s breakthrough science that reverses metabolic dysfunction with a targeted reset of the body’s metabolism through three key mechanisms: Burn: Targets visceral fat — the bad fat stored around organs and muscles — achieving a 14% reduction in visceral 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 maintain an active metabolism, optimize energy use, and regulate body weight. The system is structured across three phases: Phase 1: Reset. Reverse metabolic dysfunction and reset metabolism. Phase 2: Refine. Improve metabolic flexibility and refine body composition. Phase 3: Renew. Optimize metabolic health and support healthspan. Accompanying the brand launch is the Trilivy Reset Fueling line enhanced with MetaVantage Technology, which further supports metabolic health by helping reduce waist circumference while also supporting normal fat metabolism and healthy insulin function. Clinical research has shown individuals using the company’s coach-supported program lost up to 10x more weight and 17x more fat than those trying to lose weight on their own. In a clinical study, 98% of lean mass was retained and individuals experienced a reduction of 14% visceral adiposity [visceral fat] on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan at 16 weeks. In a clinical study, individuals on the Reset Plan with support of a Trilivy coach successfully lost 10x more weight and 17x more fat than those who tried to lose weight on their own.

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.

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.

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.

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 British stocks, typically moving 7.7% a week.

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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 33% 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. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.7% average weekly change).

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: US$415k 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 (US$415k sold).
