“This has been another outstanding quarter for Medifast, driven in large part by our success in driving growth in independent OPTAVIA Coaches to new highs, and empowering those Coaches to be more productive than ever before,” said Dan Chard, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Medifast. “We are leveraging technology in new and effective ways to deliver these results, building digital products, channels and platforms that enable our Coaches to create deeper and more effective connections with their clients. At the same time, we’ve accelerated our supply chain transformation to take full advantage of increased demand, creating a manufacturing and distribution engine that we expect will support $2 billion in revenue well ahead of schedule. Together, this work has given us a solid foundation to further enhance our competitive advantage, and drive sustainable growth for the long term.”
