Conference Call Details – Marketdata Commentary

Marketdata analysts listened to the conference call after the market’s close on March 3. The firm reported $27 mill. in retail sales (Walmart, Sam’s Club), and it grew reactivation revenues. They successfully implemented a 4-5 price increase and improved customer length of stay. They also pointed out that 100 of their 150 food products don’t contain artificial preservatives, in tune with consumer preferences. Management shares Marketdata’s opinion that diet and fitness apps serve to complement rather than replace their weight loss program. We feel that this company is on the right track, and the financial results prove it–sales grew in 2014 rather than the declines posted by some major competitors. They are expanding retail channels, have programs for different dieter groups, are innovative, are not afraid of having partners, and invest heavily in marketing to spur demand.
