NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.	~~SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES~~

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Medifast, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), for interim ~~information~~reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) ~~for reporting on Form 10-Q.~~. Accordingly, ~~they do not include all of the~~certain information and ~~footnotes~~notes that are normally required by GAAP ~~for complete financial statements.~~have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included and management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, ~~2017~~2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

The results of operations for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the ~~2017~~2018 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 (“~~2017~~2018 Form 10-K”).

Presentation of Financial Statements - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Medifast, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in ~~2018~~ 2019 –

In ~~May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09~~~~, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~. The new revenue recognition standard requires the Company to recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services to customers for the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is required to identify the contract, identify the relevant performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize the revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Companies have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the guidance. On January 1,February 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue standard on a modified retrospective basis and recorded an after-tax transition adjustment to reduce retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 by $2.0 million. This is comprised of $5.6 million of revenue offset by $3.6 million of inventory costs, deferred shipping expense, credit card fees and income taxes. The results of~~ASC 606~~ primarily impact the Company’s timing of revenue recognition for product shipments, as product revenue is recognized upon customer receipt instead of at the time of shipment. The new standard requires more extensive revenue-related disclosures.

As required by ASC 606, the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows (in thousands):

~~Recent~~Financial Accounting ~~Pronouncements –~~

We have considered all new accounting pronouncements and have concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information, except for:

~~ASU 2016-02,~~~~Leases (Topic 842)~~ requires the rights and obligations of all leased assets with a term greater than 12 months to be presented on the balance sheet. The new guidance also changes the definition of a lease and requires expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures for both lessees and lessors. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company currently expects that upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 right-to-use assets and lease liabilities will be recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in amounts that will be material. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

~~ASU~~Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-02,Income Statement - Reporting - Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) ~~allows~~ to address a specific consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) by allowing a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from ~~tax effects resulting from~~ the ~~Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification~~TCJA’s reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax ~~effects of the TCJA, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations~~rate. This ASU is ~~not affected. The amendments in this pronouncement are~~ effective for all entities for ~~fiscal years~~annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and ~~interim periods within those fiscal years. Management~~ is ~~currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2018-02 will have on the Company’s financial statements.~~

2.	~~REVENUE~~

~~Revenue recognition~~

Our revenue is derived primarily from point of sale transactions executed over an e-commerce platform for weight loss, weight management, and other consumable health and nutritional products. Revenue is recognized upon receipt by customer and net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, allocated consideration to loyalty programs and estimated returns.

~~Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect~~ to be ~~entitled to in exchange for transferring those products. When determining whether the customer has obtained control the products, we consider any future performance obligations.~~

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Our contracts have performance obligations to fulfill and deliver products from the point of sale transaction along with the related customer reward programs.

Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from products transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for substantially all of our revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control upon receipt of products by our customers. Any consideration received prior to the fulfillment of the Company performance obligation is deferred and recognized as a liability.

~~Sales returns~~

Our return policy allows for customer returns within 30 days of purchase and upon our authorization. We adjust revenues for the products expected to be returned and a liability is recognized for expected refunds to customers. We estimate expected returns based on historical levels and project this experience into the future.

~~Customer reward programs and sales incentives~~

Our sales contracts may give customers the option to purchase additional products priced at a discount. Options to acquire additional products at a discount can come in many forms, such as customer reward programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, and promotions.

We reduce the transaction price for certain customer reward programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions, incentives that represent variable consideration and separate performance obligations. The Company accounts for sales rewards as a separate performance obligation of the transactions, and therefore allocates consideration between the initial sale of products and the customer reward program and incentive offering.

~~Shipping and handling costs~~

~~Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities are treated as a promised service performance obligation and recorded in revenue~~applied either in the ~~accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements~~period of ~~Income upon fulfillment of the performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for the delivery of products~~adoption or retrospectively to ~~customers are considered a cost to fulfill the contract and are included in cost of sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.~~

~~Contract costs~~

~~We expense sales commissions and credit card fees during the~~each period in which the ~~corresponding revenue is earned. These costs are deferred along with~~effect of the ~~revenues for goods that are in transit and not received by customers by period end. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense~~change in the ~~Condensed Consolidated Statements~~U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of ~~Income.~~2019. There was no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. The Company's policy for releasing disproportionate income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income utilizes the portfolio approach.

~~Disaggregated revenue~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) asset and ~~entity-wide revenue~~a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases, and also requires disclosures

~~The nature,~~ about the amount, timing and uncertainty of ~~revenue and~~ cash flows arising from ~~our revenues amongst contracts, product offerings and customers do not differentiate and are recognized consistently based on policies discussed above. In addition, effective~~leases. Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 842, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter the collection of lease guidance is referred to as “ASC 842”.

On January 1, ~~2018, we changed how we internally~~2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method for all lease arrangements at the beginning of the period of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and ~~externally report our revenues~~continue to ~~simplify~~be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 840, Leases. The standard had a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, but did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated net earnings and ~~align~~cash

Table of Contents

flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. For leases that commenced before the effective date of ASC 842, the Company elected the permitted practical expedients to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected to exclude leases with ~~changes~~a term of 12 months or less in ~~how we manage our business, review operating performance~~the recognized ROU assets and ~~allocate resources as~~lease liabilities.

As a result of ~~our primary focus on~~ the~~OPTAVIA business~~ cumulative impact of adopting ASC 842, the Company recorded ROU assets of $11.9 million, net of $686 thousand of accrued rent, and ~~the significance this business represents to the overall results~~lease liabilities of the Company. We considered the following factors in making this decision: the nature of business activities overlapping amongst previous defined sales channels, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. We previously disclosed entity-wide disclosures for sales by channel:~~OPTA~~~~VIA, Medifast Direct, Franchise Medifast Weight Control Centers and Medifast Wholesale. Due to the interchangeable nature of these customers amongst sale channels, sales migration to~~~~OPTA~~~~VIA, and realignment of internal operations as discussed, our disclosures~~$12.6 million as of January 1, ~~2018~~2019, primarily related to office and warehouse space and certain equipment, based on the present value of the future lease payments on the date of adoption.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also consists of any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives received. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will ~~not include revenues by sales channel.~~exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense. See Note 5 “LEASES” for additional information about this adoption.

3.	~~INVENTORIES~~

2. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist principally of packaged meal replacements held in the Company’s warehouses. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The cost of finished goods includes the cost of raw materials, packaging supplies, direct and indirect labor and other indirect manufacturing costs. On a quarterly basis, management reviews inventory for unsalable or obsolete inventory.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) computations are calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents.

4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options:

The Company has issued non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonemployee directors. The fair value of these options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires estimates of the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, and dividend yield. Options outstanding as of ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 generally vest over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of these options ranges from $26.52 to ~~$157.30.~~$171.68. Due to the Company’s lack of option exercise history, the expected term is calculated using the simplified method defined as the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term of each option. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant that most closely corresponds to the expected term of the option. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period of time equivalent to the expected term for each award. ~~The~~For the three months, ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not grant stock options. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the weighted average input assumptions used were as follows:

5. LEASES

The Company has operating leases for office and warehouse space and certain equipment. In certain of the Company’s lease agreements, the rental payments are adjusted periodically based on defined terms within the lease. The Company did not have any finance leases as of March 31, 2019 and for the three-month period then ended.

Our leases relating to office and warehouse space have terms of 63 months to 122 months. Our leases relating to equipment have lease terms of 60 to 203 months, with some of them having clauses relating to automatic renewal.

The Company’s warehouse agreement also contains non-lease components, in the form of payments towards logistics services and labor charges which the Company is obligated to pay based on the services consumed by it. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the lease liability but will be recognized as expense when they are incurred.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the operating lease expense was $662 thousand.

7.	~~FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS~~

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Certain financial assets and liabilities are accounted for at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions, which are not historical in nature, identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words or expressions does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including statements relating to future operating results, are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.

We previously disclosed entity-wide ~~disclosures~~financial information for ~~sales by channel:~~multiple segments (e.g.OPTAVIA, Medifast Direct, Franchise Medifast Weight Control Centers and Medifast ~~Wholesale.

OPTAVIA encompasses our community of OPTAVIA Coaches, our OPTAVIA health and wellness programs, and our proprietary OPTAVIA-branded products. The OPTAVIA Integrated Coaching Model is centered around providing focused, individualized attention to our clients. Our OPTAVIA Coaches provide the support and encouragement for clients to successfully learn and adopt a more healthy lifestyle. This clinically-proven model translates into better client results when compared to programs that leave individuals to adopt and maintain healthy habits on their own. Our clients receive personalized attention from our OPTAVIA Coaches who share, educate, motivate and pass along their passion for healthy living. We believe this personal, direct-sales and service strategy is optimal for activating and supporting our clients.

Our OPTAVIA Coaches are independent contractors, not employees, who support our clients and market our products and services primarily through word of mouth, email, direct mail and via social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter or Zoom. As direct-sales entrepreneurs, OPTAVIA Coaches market our products to friends, family and other acquaintances with whom they have established strong relationships.

The entrepreneurial success of our OPTAVIA Coaches is the key to our success. We are focused on scaling our OPTAVIA Integrated Coaching Model by offering economic incentives that are attractive to independent entrepreneurs and reflective of the new “gig economy”. Our successful clients frequently become enthusiastic health and wellness advocates themselves and choose to become OPTAVIA Coaches. This process of clients becoming OPTAVIA Coaches underpins our growth.

We offer our OPTAVIA clients exclusive OPTAVIA-branded nutritional products, or “Fuelings” and also offer a variety of other weight loss, weight management, and healthy living products under other brands. OPTAVIA Fuelings come in a variety of flavors that appeal to a broad variety of tastes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting ~~principles (“GAAP”).~~principles. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 ~~and Note 2~~ to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Management develops, and changes periodically, these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and a decline in the stock market. The Company does not enter into derivatives, foreign exchange transactions or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and market pricing impacting our investment portfolio. Its current investment policy is to maintain an investment portfolio consisting of municipal bonds, U.S. money market securities, and high-grade corporate securities, directly or through managed funds. Its cash is deposited in and invested through highly rated financial institutions in North America. Its marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk and market pricing risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase or if market pricing decreases. If market interest rates were to increase and market pricing were to decrease immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company estimates that the fair value of its investment portfolio would decline by an immaterial amount and therefore it would not expect its operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a change in market conditions on our investments.

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposure since December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules ~~13a-15(e)~~13a‑15(e) and ~~15d-15(e)~~15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and on a timely basis. Based on this evaluation performed in accordance with the criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules ~~13a-15(f)~~13a‑15(f) and ~~15d-15(f)~~15d‑15(f) under the Act) during the fiscal quarter ended ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented additional internal controls to ensure we properly assessed and accounted for the impact of the new accounting standard related to ~~revenue recognition~~leases on our

Part II Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
