The earnings call reveals several concerning factors: declining total subscribers, revenue headwinds, and challenges in transitioning Clinical members away from compounded semaglutide. Despite some positive financial metrics, such as debt reduction and ARPU growth, the overall sentiment is negative due to revenue decline, subscriber loss, and lack of clear guidance on future strategies. The Q&A section highlights competitive pressures and the absence of detailed plans for addressing challenges, further contributing to the negative outlook.
Debt Reduction Reduced debt by more than 70%, freeing up approximately $50 million of cash annually from lower interest expense. This was achieved through a strategic reorganization.
Monthly Subscription Revenue per Average Subscriber (ARPU) Increased 12% year-over-year in Q2 2025, marking the third consecutive quarter of ARPU expansion. Growth was driven by a continued mix shift towards Clinical subscribers, who generate nearly 5x the ARPU of behavioral subscribers.
Total End-of-Period Subscribers Declined 17% year-over-year in Q2 2025, ending at 3.2 million. Behavioral member acquisition was challenged, further impacted by extensive bankruptcy-related media coverage. Clinical subscribers grew year-over-year by 56%, but there was a sequential quarter-over-quarter decline due to transitioning Clinical members away from compounded semaglutide to FDA-approved medications.
Revenue $189 million in Q2 2025, declined 6% year-over-year. Behavioral business revenue declined 13% year-over-year, partially offset by 55% growth in Clinical revenue. FX provided a $2 million benefit, and a timing benefit of $4 million was due to two extra days in the fiscal quarter.
Adjusted Gross Margin 74.9% in the predecessor period of Q2 2025. Improvement reflects strict cost discipline and a shift to a more variable cost structure.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 34% in the predecessor period of Q2 2025, up more than 900 basis points year-over-year. Improvement driven by disciplined cost management and lower marketing spend during the financial reorganization process.
Cash and Cash Equivalents $152 million at the end of Q2 2025, down from $236 million at the end of Q1 2025. Decline primarily reflects $45 million in transaction-related costs, $30 million in interest payments on legacy debt, and a $16 million anniversary payment related to the Sequence acquisition.

Marketing and Consumer Sentiment: Bankruptcy-related headlines have affected marketing effectiveness and consumer sentiment, impacting subscriber acquisition.
International Expansion Limitations: Limited international investment and expansion in recent years have restricted growth opportunities in global markets.
B2B Channel Slowdown: The B2B channel experienced a slowdown during the Chapter 11 process, affecting momentum in onboarding clients.
Revenue Headwinds: Lower subscriber levels entering 2025 and challenges in both behavioral and clinical acquisition environments are creating revenue headwinds.

Behavioral Business Challenges: The company acknowledges ongoing acquisition challenges in the behavioral business, which are expected to influence the remainder of 2025 and the starting position for 2026.
Marketing and Consumer Sentiment: Residual noise from bankruptcy-related headlines has affected consumer sentiment and acquisition. The company plans to address this with second-half marketing activity.
