During Medifast’s third quarter 2025 earnings call on November 9, 2025, Maloney reported that revenue was $89.4 million, a 36.2% decrease year-over-year, which he attributed to a decline in the number of active earning coaches. He noted that gross profit fell 41.2% to $62.2 million, with margins down 590 basis points due to lower sales volumes and a reserve for product reformulation. SG&A expenses decreased 36% to $66.2 million, primarily from lower coach compensation. Maloney stated that the company had $173.5 million in cash and no interest-bearing debt as of September 30, 2025, and guided fourth quarter revenue between $65 million and $80 million with a loss per share of $0.70 to $1.25. He also mentioned that the $2 million amortization from the LifeMD collaboration, which appeared in Q3 2024, would not recur, and that actions taken in October to rightsize the business were intended to improve margins as the company returns to growth. In earlier appearances from 2011 and 2019, Maloney described accounts of what he termed creative miracles and healings. He stated that at a conference in Portland, Oregon, a man born without a tongue received a new tongue after Maloney instructed him to put his finger in his mouth, and that the man’s teeth were restored overnight. He also recounted an incident in which a person who had been injured in an explosion and had metal implants in his shoulder, hip, and ankle experienced the metal being expelled from his skin, and that a medical doctor later verified the event.
