Medifast reported third quarter 2026 revenue of $72.0 million, down 19.4% from $89.4 million a year earlier, as active earning coaches fell 47.7% to 10,200. The company posted a net loss of $17.5 million, or $1.57 per share, compared with a loss of $2.3 million, or $0.21 per share, a year earlier, and it expects coach numbers to keep declining through the end of 2026. For shareholders, the filing shows weaker sales and a larger loss, partly driven by Catalyst Restructuring charges, with full-year 2026 loss per share guidance of $1.80 to $2.05.
