FitLife Brands (FTLF) grows 2025 sales but margins tighten and debt climbs
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
FitLife Brands reported strong 2025 revenue growth but weaker profitability. Full-year revenue rose to $81.5M from $64.5M, helped by the Irwin acquisition, while net income fell to $6.3M from $9.0M as margins and expenses pressured earnings.
Gross margin declined to 38.6% from 43.6%, and adjusted EBITDA was roughly flat at $14.0M. In Q4 2025, revenue grew 73% to $25.9M, but gross margin slipped to 34.5%. The company ended 2025 with a term loan of $39.1M, revolver borrowings of $5.6M, and cash of $1.6M, and is prioritizing debt reduction.
Management highlighted persistent demand weakness across most brands in early 2026, but noted rapid online growth for Irwin, particularly on Amazon, where annualized revenue has reached an estimated $9–10M run rate.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Full-year net income fell from $9.0M to $6.3M and gross margin compressed from 43.6% to 38.6%, while year-end net debt reached approximately $43.1M, increasing financial risk alongside management’s acknowledgement of broad demand weakness into early 2026.
Insights
Revenue is growing via acquisition, but margins and leverage are key concerns.
FitLife lifted 2025 revenue to $81.5M, up 26%, with Irwin driving an 84% wholesale increase. However, gross margin fell to 38.6% and operating income declined to $10.1M, reflecting lower legacy margins and higher selling, G&A, and M&A costs.
Net income dropped to $6.3M from $9.0M, and adjusted EBITDA was flat at about $14.0M. The Irwin deal added intangibles and pushed total term debt to $39.1M plus a $5.6M revolver, leaving net debt near $43.1M at year end.
Management notes persistent softness across most brands in early 2026, even as Irwin’s Amazon sales ramp toward a $9–10M annual run rate. Future performance will depend on executing the outlined cost-efficiency and growth initiatives and on broader consumer spending trends discussed in the commentary.

Performance of Brands
One of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the performance of the Company’s brands is contribution, a non-GAAP financial measure which management defines as gross profit less advertising and marketing expenditures. Other companies may also report contribution as a performance metric, but their definition or calculation of contribution may differ from the Company’s. Management believes that contribution, as defined by the Company, is a particularly relevant performance metric since it incorporates the gross profit associated with a specific brand or collection of brands as well as the advertising and marketing expenditures associated with the same brand or brands. With limited exceptions, other operating expenses incurred by the Company are generally not allocable to a specific brand or collection of brands.
Legacy FitLife consists of thirteen brands, and Irwin consists of three brands. These collections of brands do not meet the definition of operating segments and are not managed as such.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue for Legacy FitLife (which now includes MusclePharm as well as MRC) declined 12% compared to the same period last year due to declines in both online and wholesale revenue.

The fourth quarter of 2025 is the first full quarter of Irwin’s operating results since the Company acquired Irwin in August 2025. During the quarter, Irwin generated 89% of its revenue from the wholesale channel and 11% from online sales.
Online revenue during the quarter represents transactions through Irwin’s websites as well as through Amazon and other e-commerce platforms. The Company began selling Irwin products on Amazon in mid-October, and sales increased rapidly throughout the quarter to approximately $0.5 million in the month of December.
Normalizing for loss of the customers that occurred prior to the acquisition of Irwin by the Company, as well as for the results of Irwin’s CBD business, which the Company is in the process of exiting, total revenue for Irwin increased approximately 6% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Irwin generated gross margin of 28.0% and contribution as a percentage of revenue of 26.6% during the fourth quarter of 2025. Excluding amortization of the inventory step-up, Irwin’s gross margin and contribution as a percentage of revenue would have been 33.2% and 31.8%, respectively.

Management commentary
Dayton Judd, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Other than at MRC, where revenue declined 15% over the course of the year, 2025 was a strong year for all of our brand groupings. Excluding MRC and MusclePharm, the other Legacy FitLife brands delivered organic growth of 6%. MusclePharm delivered organic growth of 5%, with growth in both the online and wholesale channels. And in its first full quarter of ownership, Irwin delivered organic growth of 6%.
“We began paying down debt during the fourth quarter, with a scheduled amortization payment of $1.5 million on the term loan and an additional $0.4 million reduction on our revolver. During the first quarter, we reduced the outstanding balance on the revolver further by approximately $1.4 million in addition to a scheduled amortization payment on the term loan of $1.5 million on March 31. We intend to continue allocating our available free cash flow to debt reduction.
“During our previous earnings call in November, I provided commentary about emerging weakness we were observing across our brand portfolio. During the first quarter of 2026, this weakness has persisted across most brands and channels. From a macro environment perspective, given the backdrop of economic and political volatility, we know there are broad-based consumer confidence concerns, particularly for discretionary products. Consumer sentiment remains near all-time lows, and consumer discretionary spending has been declining since late last year and is at the lowest level it has been in the past four years. However, we know there are some things we should be doing regardless of the economic environment to improve our performance.
“The Company is focused on five key initiatives that we anticipate will favorably impact revenue and cost in the future. These priorities are to (1) drive meaningful improvement in Irwin’s supply chain, (2) increase focus on new product development at Irwin, (3) drive awareness and demand generation for our products off-Amazon, (4) leverage Irwin’s sales team to cross-sell other FitLife products into the wholesale channel, and (5) reduce SG&A through operating efficiencies.
“Despite the weakness late in the fourth quarter and into the first quarter, I am encouraged by the continued growth of online revenue for Irwin, particularly on Amazon. We ended the fourth quarter at a run rate of approximately $0.5 million of revenue on Amazon from Irwin’s products. I am encouraged that growth has continued throughout the first quarter, with monthly revenue now approximately $0.8 million. In other words, in a few short months, this has become a business with roughly $9-10 million of annual revenue on a run rate basis, with margins higher than our traditional wholesale business. In addition, for a number of reasons, we believe there is the potential for additional long-term revenue and profit growth for Irwin products in this channel. The online growth we are experiencing at Irwin is encouraging, but at this point we are not able to determine whether it will fully or only partially offset the weakness we are experiencing elsewhere in our business.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial information included in this release and the presentation below contain certain financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the SEC, including non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
As presented below, non-GAAP EBITDA excludes interest, foreign currency gain/loss, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA excludes, in addition to interest, foreign currency gain/loss, taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, M&A/integration expense, restructuring and non-recurring gains or losses. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expense and other items that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. The Company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures in the financial presentation below allows investors to compare the Company’s financial results with the Company’s historical financial results and is an important measure of the Company’s comparative financial performance.
