ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “continue”, and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this Annual Report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Annual Report. Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share data.

Products and Recent Acquisitions

FitLife Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) is a provider of innovative and proprietary nutritional supplements and wellness products for health-conscious consumers marketed under the following brand names: (i) NDS Nutrition, PMD Sports, SirenLabs, Core Active, Nutrology, and Metis Nutrition (together, “NDS Products”); (ii) iSatori, BioGenetic Laboratories, and Energize (together, the "iSatori Products"); (iii) Dr. Tobias, All Natural Advice, and Maritime Naturals, each acquired as a result of the acquisition of Mimi’s Rock Corp. (“MRC”) on February 28, 2023 (together, the “MRC Products"); and (iv) MusclePharm, which was acquired on October 10, 2023 as a result of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of MusclePharm Corporation (“MusclePharm”).

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales and expense recognized during the periods presented.

Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, allowance for inventory obsolescence, product returns, depreciable lives of property and equipment, allocation of purchase price from business combinations, analysis of impairment of goodwill, realization of deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

All of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company will maintain allowances for doubtful accounts, estimating losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for products. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped into categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is recorded based upon management’s assessment of collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had provided a reserve for doubtful accounts of $41 and $17, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. The deferred tax liabilities of the Company relate primarily to intangible assets that are not deductible for tax purposes in the jurisdictions to which they relate.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Product Returns, Sales Incentives and Other Forms of Variable Consideration

In measuring revenue and determining the consideration the Company is entitled to as part of a contract with a customer, the Company takes into account the related elements of variable consideration. Such elements of variable consideration include, but are not limited to, product returns and sales incentives, such as markdowns and margin adjustments. For these types of arrangements, the adjustments to revenue are recorded at the later of when (i) the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related products to the customers, or (ii) the Company pays, or promises to pay, the consideration.

We currently have a 30-day product return policy for direct-to-consumer sales, which allows for a 100% sales price refund for the return of unopened and undamaged products purchased from us online through one of our websites or e-commerce platforms. Product sold to certain wholesale customers may be returned from store shelves or the distribution center in the event product is damaged, short dated, expired or recalled.

GNC maintains a customer satisfaction program which allows customers to return product to the store for credit or refund. Subject to certain terms and restrictions, GNC may require reimbursement from vendors for unsaleable returned product through either direct payment or credit against a future invoice. We also support a product return policy for iSatori Products, whereby customers can return product for credit or refund. Product returns can and do occur from time to time and can be material.

For the sale of goods with a right of return, the Company estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount method and recognizes revenue for the consideration it expects to be entitled to when control of the related product is transferred to the customers and records a product returns liability for the amount it expects to credit back its customers. Under this method, certain forms of variable consideration are based on expected sell-through results, which requires subjective estimates. These estimates are supported by historical results as well as specific facts and circumstances related to the current period. The product returns liability includes estimates that directly impact reported revenue. These estimates are calculated based on a history of actual returns, estimated future returns and information provided by customers regarding their inventory levels. Consideration of these factors results in an estimate for anticipated sales returns that reflects increases or decreases related to seasonal fluctuations. In addition, as necessary, product returns liability may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that are considered, and will continue to be considered, include, but are not limited to, changes in the retail environment and the Company's decision to continue to support new and existing products.

- 23 -

Information for product returns is received on a regular basis and adjusted for accordingly. Adjustments for returns are based on factual information and historical trends for all Company Products and are specific to each distribution channel. We monitor, among other things, remaining shelf life and sell-through data on a weekly basis. If we determine there are any risks or issues with any specific products, we accrue sales return allowances based on management’s assessment of the overall risk and likelihood of returns in light of all information available.

Total allowance for product returns, sales returns and incentive programs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $564 and $571, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and/or our ability to sell the product(s) concerned and production requirements. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction in the rate of reorders placed by customers. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory.

Total allowance for expiring, excess and slow-moving inventory items as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $100 and $162, respectively.

Goodwill

The Company has determined that it has a single reporting unit for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment test. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform an impairment test. If the qualitative assessment warrants further analysis, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using the market approach. The Company determines the amount of a potential goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge is recognized.

As the Company uses the market approach to determine fair value of the reporting unit, the price of its Common Stock is an important component of the fair value calculation. If the Company’s stock price experiences significant price and volume fluctuations, this will impact the fair value of the reporting unit, which can lead to potential impairment in future periods.

There were no impairment charges incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of nutritional supplements and wellness products to consumers.

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products to our customers based on written sales terms. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the products to a customer.

- 24 -

All products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and consist of nutritional supplements and wellness products. The products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them.

The Company’s products are also sold on e-commerce platforms including Amazon. For these transactions, the Company evaluated principal versus agent considerations to determine appropriateness of recording distribution and platform fees paid to third-party e-commerce companies as an expense or as a reduction of revenue. The Company records distribution and platform fees to cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Distribution and platform fees are not recorded as a reduction of revenue because the Company: (1) owns the goods before they are transferred to the customer, (2) can direct Amazon, similar to other third-party logistics providers (“Logistic Providers”), to return the Company’s inventory to any location specified by the Company, (3) has the responsibility to make customers whole following any returns made by customers directly to Logistic Providers and the Company retains the back-end inventory risk, (4) is subject to credit risk (i.e., credit card chargebacks), (5) establishes prices of its products, (6) can determine who fulfills the goods to the customer (Amazon or the Company) and (7) can limit quantities or stop selling the goods at any time. Based on these considerations, the Company is the principal in this arrangement. Advertising fees paid to Amazon are recorded in advertising and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The Company disaggregates revenue into distribution channels, geographical regions, and collections of brands (Legacy FitLife and recently acquired brands). The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Online revenue, which consists of revenue generated from sales on the Company’s own websites as well as third-party e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately 67% of total revenue, compared to roughly 63% of total revenue during the same twelve-month period in 2023.

Sales to customers in the U.S. were approximately 95% and 93% for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with the balance of sales to customers primarily in Canada.

Control of products we sell transfers to customers upon shipment from our facilities or delivery to our customers, and the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than promised goods to the customer. Payments for sales are generally made by check, credit card, or wire transfer. Historically the Company has not experienced any significant payment delays from customers.

For direct-to-consumer sales, the Company allows for returns within 30 days of purchase. Our wholesale customers, such as GNC, may return purchased products to the Company under certain circumstances, which include expired or soon-to-be-expired products located in GNC corporate stores or at any of its distribution centers, and products that are subject to a recall or that contain an ingredient or ingredients that are subject to a recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

A right of return does not represent a separate performance obligation, but because customers are allowed to return products, the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled is variable. Upon evaluation of returns, the Company determined that product returns are immaterial, and therefore believes it is probable that such returns will not cause a significant reversal of revenue in the future. We assess our contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues restricted share units (“RSUs”), stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to the terms established at the issuance date.

- 25 -

Stock-based payments to officers, directors, employees and consultants for acquiring goods and services from non-employees, which include grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based payments to officers, directors, and employees that are time vested are measured at the grant date fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The fair value of stock-based payments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or other applicable valuation model such as the Monte Carlo valuation pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends. The assumptions used could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023

Revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased 22% to $64,469 as compared to $52,700 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increased revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the acquisition of MRC and the MusclePharm assets, partially offset by a decline in Legacy FitLife revenue. MRC was acquired February 28, 2023, and as such, only ten months of MRC revenue were included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The MusclePharm assets were acquired on October 10, 2023.

Legacy FitLife revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $25,387, a 10% decrease compared to the previous year, driven by a 16% decline in wholesale revenue, partially offset by a 3% increase in online revenue. The Company’s wholesale revenue continues to be challenged by declining customer counts in the brick-and-mortar stores of our wholesale partners.

- 26 -

MRC revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $29,036. MRC revenue for the period from February 28, 2023 to December 31, 2023 was $24,370.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, MusclePharm generated revenue of $10,046, of which approximately half was generated from wholesale customers and half from online sales.

Online revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately 67% of total revenue, compared to roughly 63% of total revenue during the same twelve-month period in 2023.

Sales to customers in the U.S. were approximately 95% and 93% for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with the balance of sales primarily to customers in Canada.

The Company continually reformulates and introduces new products across its various brands, while also seeking to increase both the number of stores and number of approved products that can be sold within the GNC franchise system that comprises a significant portion its domestic and international distribution footprint. Management also believes that its focus on developing its e-commerce capabilities will drive additional incremental sales in the short-term, while yielding substantial benefits in the longer-term.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased 16% to $36,389 as compared to $31,268 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $5,121 is primarily due to an increase in revenue attributable to the acquisitions of MRC and the MusclePharm assets.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased to $28,080 as compared to $21,432 for the year ended December 31, 2023. This 31% increase in gross profit is principally attributable to higher MRC gross profit as well as incremental gross profit from MusclePharm.

Gross Margin. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased to 43.6% from 40.7% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to higher margins from MRC and Legacy FitLife as well as the amortization of the fair value step-up to MRC inventory acquired in the first quarter of 2023. Excluding the $323 impact of the step-up amortization, gross margin would have been 41.3% during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Advertising and Marketing. Advertising and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased to $4,626 as compared to $4,276 for the same period of the prior year. The 8% increase is primarily due to the full-period impact of MRC advertising and marketing as well as incremental advertising and marketing expense following the acquisition of the MusclePharm assets.

SG&A. SG&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $2,087 to $9,972 as compared to $7,885 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the full-period impact of MRC SG&A as well as higher personnel costs (including salaries and benefits) and higher professional fees. In addition, the Company incurred non-recurring severance costs of $184 during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Merger and Acquisition Related Expense. Merger and acquisition related expense decreased to $255 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $1,627 for the same period of 2023, driven primarily by transaction costs related to the acquisition of MRC and the MusclePharm assets in 2023.

Net Income. We generated a net income of $8,984 for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 70% compared to net income of $5,296 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to higher revenue and gross profit from MRC, incremental revenue and gross profit from MusclePharm, as well as a reduction in acquisition-related expense due to the acquisitions of MRC and the MusclePharm assets that closed during 2023, partially offset by incremental SG&A expense and higher interest expense due to the debt borrowed in conjunction with the acquisition of the MusclePharm assets.

Supplemental Discussion of Performance of Acquired Brands

Management frequently receives questions from investors regarding the performance of brands subsequent to their acquisition by the Company. In an effort to be responsive to these questions, the Company is providing additional disclosure herein. Management intends to provide this level of disclosure for no more than two years following a transaction, after which the performance of acquired brands will be reported as part of Legacy FitLife results.

- 27 -

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.

Other than for MusclePharm, the numbers in the contribution tables presented below represent the performance of a collection of brands. Legacy FitLife consists of nine brands and MRC consists of three brands. These collections of brands do not meet the definition of operating segments and are not managed as such.

Legacy FitLife

For the fourth quarter of 2024, Legacy FitLife revenue declined 13% compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by a 20% decline in wholesale revenue. During the fourth quarter, a commercial dispute with GNC, the Company’s largest customer, resulted in the Company rejecting all purchase orders from GNC beginning on December 1, 2024. However, any product that was ordered by GNC prior to December 1, 2024 continued to be shipped and was all received by GNC prior to the end of December 2024.

Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, in early January 2025, the Company began selling and shipping product directly to its GNC franchisee customers. On January 23, 2025, the Company and GNC settled their commercial dispute and the Company immediately began accepting purchase orders from GNC, with shipments to the GNC distribution centers beginning approximately two weeks later. The Company continued shipping directly to GNC franchisees until the GNC distribution centers were restocked. Subsequent to the distribution centers being restocked during February 2024, in the event GNC distribution centers do not have adequate inventory to fulfill franchisee orders of the Company’s products, the Company may make shipments directly to GNC franchisees in order to ensure continued availability of the Company’s products on store shelves.

Gross margin decreased from 40.4% during the fourth quarter of 2023 to 39.7% during the fourth quarter of 2024. Contribution as a percentage of revenue decreased from 39.2% to 38.6% over the same time period.

The Company’s wholesale revenue continues to be challenged by declining customer counts in the brick-and-mortar stores of our wholesale partners. However, at least some of the customers choosing to no longer shop in brick-and-mortar locations continue to purchase Legacy FitLife products online, and when a customer buys online the Company earns substantially higher gross profit and contribution.

Mimi's Rock (MRC)

- 28 -

For the fourth quarter of 2024, MRC revenue was down slightly compared to the same period in 2023. Over the same time period, gross profit increased 20% and contribution increased 31%.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, gross margin increased to 48.7% from 40.4% during the same period last year.

Revenue for the largest MRC brand, Dr. Tobias, increased 6% in the fourth quarter of 2024 while revenue for the skin care brands, Maritime Naturals and All Natural Advice, declined 38% in the same period compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.

At the time of the MRC acquisition in 2023, the skin care brands were sold in a number of countries. Analysis subsequent to the acquisition determined that, in almost all countries other than Canada and the U.S., the products were being sold at levels resulting in negative contribution. Even worse, in many of those countries, the products were being sold at negative gross margins.

To optimize performance of the skin care brands, management exited a number of countries and raised prices in other countries. As a result of these changes, a substantial amount of unprofitable revenue was eliminated.

The substantial year-over-year increase in gross profit for the MRC brands is primarily the result of this optimization of the skin care brands as well as beneficial product mix within the Dr. Tobias brand. The substantial year-over-year increase in contribution for the MRC brands is a function of the optimization of the skin care brands, beneficial product mix within the Dr. Tobias brand, as well as the optimization of advertising spend across all MRC brands.

MusclePharm

MusclePharm revenue increased 14% sequentially from the third quarter of 2024 to the fourth quarter of 2024, with wholesale revenue increasing 37% and online revenue decreasing 8%. This slower movement in the online channel is due primarily to normal seasonality of retail sales.

As previously disclosed, in an effort to drive revenue growth, the Company is making targeted investments in advertising and promotion in both the wholesale and online channels. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company offered additional promotional incentives to certain wholesale partners in an effort to drive incremental growth for the MusclePharm brand. In most cases, these investments are accounted for as a reduction in net revenue rather than as advertising and marketing spend. Despite the increased promotions and the accompanying deductions from gross revenue, the Company generated record net revenue from wholesale customers during the quarter. The Company anticipates that the increased promotional efforts will continue for the foreseeable future. As a result of these investments, gross margin and contribution margin as a percent of revenue may fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter.

As previously announced, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company launched the new MusclePharm Pro Series, a collection of premium sports nutrition products, in a two-month pilot in high-volume Vitamin Shoppe stores (consisting of approximately 60% of Vitamin Shoppe’s nationwide store base) in mid-March 2025. If the pilot effort is successful, the Pro Series is anticipated to be added to the assortment in all Vitamin Shoppe stores and will be exclusive to Vitamin Shoppe for a period of 12 months.

In addition, the Company is exploring additional new product launches and continues to have productive discussions with a number of potential new wholesale partners.

FitLife Consolidated

For the fourth quarter of 2024 for the Company overall, revenue increased 13%, gross profit increased 16%, and contribution increased 18% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.

Gross margin increased to 41.4% during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 40.3% during the fourth quarter of last year.

Contribution as a percentage of revenue increased to 34.9% compared to 33.4% during the fourth quarter of last year.

Non-GAAP Measures

The financial presentation below contains certain financial measures not in accordance with GAAP, defined by the SEC as “non-GAAP financial measures”, including EBITDA and 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 this Annual Report in accordance with GAAP.

As presented below, EBITDA excludes interest, foreign exchange gains and losses, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes—in addition to interest, foreign exchange gains and losses, taxes, depreciation and amortization—stock-based compensation, merger and acquisition related expense and other non-recurring costs. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had positive working capital of $6,832 compared to $4,356 at December 31, 2023. Our principal sources of liquidity at December 31, 2024 consisted of $4,468 of cash and $1,626 of accounts receivable. The increase in working capital is principally attributable to positive operating cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2024, partially offset by a voluntary paydown of $2,500 on the Term Loans as well as the three scheduled amortization payments totaling $4,500.

On September 24, 2019, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with Mutual of Omaha Bank (the “Lender”), subsequently acquired by CIT Bank N.A., then acquired by First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, providing the Company with a $2.5 million revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit allows the Company to request advances thereunder and to use the proceeds of such advances for working capital purposes until the maturity date, or unless renewed at maturity upon approval by the Company’s Board and the Lender. The Line of Credit is secured by all assets of the Company.

On September 20, 2022, the Company and the Lender amended the Line of Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date to December 23, 2022. On December 19, 2022, the Company and the Lender amended the Line of Credit agreement to increase the Line of Credit to $3.5 million and extend the maturity date to December 23, 2023.

On February 23, 2023, the Company and the Lender amended the Line of Credit Agreement (the “PriorCredit Agreement”) providing the Company with a term loan for the principal amount of $12.5 million (“Term Loan A”). All other terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged. All of the proceeds from Term Loan A were used for the acquisition of MRC.

On October 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the Lender, amending and restating the Credit Agreement between the Company and the Lender. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender provided the Company with an additional term loan (“Term Loan B”, and together with Term Loan A, the “Term Loans”) for the principal amount of $10,000 and extended the Line of Credit of $3.5 million to December 23, 2024. The Company used the proceeds from Term Loan B to fund the acquisition of the MusclePharm assets.

On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to extend the $3.5 million Line of Credit to April 30, 2026. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Line of Credit accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 3.50% or the one-month secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) rate plus 2.75%, and each advance will be payable on the maturity date with the interest on outstanding advances payable monthly. The Company may, at its option, prepay any borrowings under the Line of Credit, in whole or in part at any time prior to the maturity date, without premium or penalty.

Also pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Term Loans accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 3.50% or the one-month SOFR rate plus 2.75%, and principal plus accrued interest will be payable quarterly in June, September, December, and March, in amounts sufficient to fully amortize the Term Loans through February 28, 2028 in the case of Term Loan A and through October 10, 2028 in the case of Term Loan B. The Company may prepay amounts borrowed under the Term Loans, in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, by written notice to the Lender at least one business day prior to the proposed prepayment.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (each an “Event of Default”), which upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, interest will accrue at the applicable rate plus 2% per annum, and the Lender may declare all obligations, with interest thereon, immediately due and payable. The Amended Credit Agreement further contains customary representations and warranties of the Company; customary indemnification provisions whereby the Company will indemnify Lender for certain losses arising out of inaccuracies in, or breaches of, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, and certain other matters; and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as tested quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis, starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023, a Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 as tested quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis, starting with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024, and to the extent the Term Loans still have a balance as of June 30, 2025 and a Cash Flow Leverage threshold (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of at least 1.15 is not met, the Company will be required to make a prepayment on the Term Loans equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2024.

- 31 -

As of December 31, 2024, the borrowings outstanding on the Term Loans and the Line of Credit were $13,125 and $0, respectively.

The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through cash flow from operations and equity and debt financings. The Company currently anticipates that cash derived from operations and existing cash reserves, along with available borrowings under the Line of Credit, will be sufficient to provide for the Company’s liquidity for the next twelve months.

The Company is dependent on cash flow from operations and amounts available under the Line of Credit to satisfy its working capital requirements. No assurances can be given that cash flow from operations and/or the Line of Credit will be sufficient to provide for the Company’s liquidity for the next twelve months. Should the Company be unable to generate sufficient revenue in the future to achieve positive cash flow from operations, and/or should capital be unavailable under the terms of the Line of Credit, additional working capital will be required. Management currently has no intention to raise additional working capital through the sale of equity or debt securities and believes that the cash flow from operations and available borrowings under the Line of Credit will provide sufficient capital necessary to operate the business over the next twelve months. In the event the Company fails to achieve positive cash flow from operations, additional capital is unavailable under the terms of the Line of Credit, and management is otherwise unable to secure additional working capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities, the Company’s business would be materially and adversely harmed.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $9,610 during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4,220 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the higher net income driven by the acquisitions of MRC and the MusclePharm assets, as well as the payment of the transaction-related costs and other payables and expenses that were accrued at MRC at the time the Company acquired MRC in 2023.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $10 and $35,993 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company used $10 and $106 for purchases of property and equipment in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid $17,099 for the acquisition of MRC and $18,788 for the acquisition of MusclePharm assets.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $6,983 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $20,296 during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than contractual obligations incurred in the normal course of business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our business is conducted principally in the U.S. However, due to the MRC acquisition in 2023, the Company now has more exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies. As a result, our financial results may be materially affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or economic conditions in foreign markets.

- 32 -

Foreign Currency

In January 2023, the Company entered into a foreign currency hedging transaction to mitigate the risk of adverse changes in the USD/CAD exchange rate with respect to the pending acquisition of MRC. The Company entered into a forward contract to purchase CAD $25.0 million, as the Company anticipated providing additional working capital funding beyond the CAD $23.2 million purchase price for MRC. As the geographical scope of our business broadens, we may engage in additional foreign currency hedging transactions in the future. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency hedging transactions during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Interest Rates

Our exposure to risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement (which includes the Term Loans as well as our Line of Credit), and our investments in short-term financial instruments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $13,125 outstanding on the Term Loans and $0 under its Line of Credit.

Investments of our cash balances in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest-earning instruments carry some interest rate risk. The fair value of fixed-rate securities may fall due to a rise in interest rates, while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Partly as a result of this, our future interest income will vary due to changes in interest rates and we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that have fallen in estimated fair value due to changes in interest rates. However, as substantially all of our cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and short-term money market instruments, we do not expect any material change with respect to our net income as a result of an interest rate change.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of December 31, 2024 was completed. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

- 33 -

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our CEO and CFO evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

(c)Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

There were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

On October 3, 2024, Todd Ordal, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, adopted a trading arrangement for the purchase of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Trading Plan”) that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1(c). The Trading Plan has a term of 4 years, expiring on December 31, 2029, and provides for the quarterly purchase of 150 shares Common Stock.

Other than as disclosed above, no officers or directors, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f), adopted and/or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as defined in Regulation S-K Item 408, during the last fiscal quarter.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 F-2

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS F-6

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the

Board of Directors of FitLife Brands, Inc.

Omaha, NE

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FitLife Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Inventory Valuation

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s inventory totaled $11.1 million. As explained in Note 2 and 4 to the financial statements, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. The Company assesses inventory at each reporting date in order to assert that it is recorded at net realizable value. In determining net realizable value, management considers historical usage, forecasted demand in relation to inventory on hand, market conditions, expiration dates of inventory and other factors.

We identified the evaluation of slow-moving and obsolete inventories at net realizable value as a critical audit matter because a high degree of auditor judgment and effort was required to evaluate the Company’s ability to sell certain products.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

We have served as the Company’s auditor from 2018 through 2019, and since October 2023.

FITLIFE BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Summary

FitLife Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) is a provider of innovative and proprietary nutritional supplements and wellness products for health-conscious consumers marketed under the following brand names: (i) NDS Nutrition, PMD Sports, SirenLabs, Core Active, Nutrology, and Metis Nutrition (together, “NDS Products”); (ii) iSatori, BioGenetic Laboratories, and Energize (together, the "iSatori Products"); (iii) Dr. Tobias, All Natural Advice, and Maritime Naturals, (together, the “MRC Products”); and (iv) MusclePharm (“MusclePharm”).

The Company distributes the NDS Products principally through franchised General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (“GNC”) stores located both domestically and internationally and, with the launch of Metis Nutrition, through corporate GNC stores in the U.S. The iSatori Products are sold through retail locations, which include specialty and mass, as well as online directly to the end consumer. The Company distributes the MRC Products primarily online through e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon, directly to the end consumer. MusclePharm’s products are sold to both wholesale customers as well as online through various e-commerce platforms directly to the end consumer.

FitLife Brands is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. For more information on the Company, please go to www.fitlifebrands.com. The Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), trades under the symbol “FTLF” on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Stock Split

On February 7, 2025, the Company effected a 2-for-1 stock split of its Common Stock and proportionately increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 120,000. All share and per share information throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split as of the earliest period presented. The shares of Common Stock retain a par value of $0.01 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares issued in the stock split was reclassified from additional paid-in capital in excess of par value to Common Stock.

Acquisition of Mimi’s Rock Corp

On February 28, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of MRC. Total consideration for the acquisition of MRC was $17,099. See Note 8 to the financial statements for additional disclosure regarding the acquisition of MRC.

Acquisition of MusclePharm Assets

On October 10, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of MusclePharm Corporation (“MusclePharm”) through an asset purchase transaction under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $18,500. See Note 9 for additional disclosure regarding the acquisition of MusclePharm.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Significant accounting policies are as follows:

F-6

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using end-of-period exchange rates. Changes in reported amounts of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that occur as a result of changes in exchange rates between foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies and the U.S. dollar are included in foreign currency translation adjustment. Foreign currency translation adjustment is included as a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue and expense transactions use an average rate prevailing during the period of the related transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each subsidiary are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales and expense recognized during the periods presented.

Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, allowance for inventory obsolescence, product returns, depreciable lives of property and equipment, allocation of purchase price from business combinations, analysis of impairment of goodwill, realization of deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of nutritional supplements and wellness products to consumers.

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products to our customers based on written sales terms. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the products to a customer.

All products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and consist of nutritional supplements and wellness products. The products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them.

The Company’s products are also sold on e-commerce platforms including Amazon. For these transactions, the Company evaluated principal versus agent considerations to determine appropriateness of recording distribution and platform fees paid to third-party e-commerce companies as an expense or as a reduction of revenue. The Company records distribution and platform fees to cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Distribution and platform fees are not recorded as a reduction of revenue because the Company (1) owns the goods before they are transferred to the customer, (2) can direct Amazon, similar to other third-party logistics providers (“Logistic Providers”), to return the Company’s inventory to any location specified by the Company, (3) has the responsibility to make customers whole following any returns made by customers directly to Logistic Providers and the Company retains the back-end inventory risk, (4) is subject to credit risk (i.e., credit card chargebacks), (5) establishes prices of its products, (6) can determine who fulfills the goods to the customer (Amazon or the Company) and (7) can limit quantities or stop selling the goods at any time. Based on these considerations, the Company is the principal in this arrangement. Advertising fees paid to Amazon are recorded in advertising and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

F-7

The Company disaggregates revenue into distribution channels, geographical regions, and collections of brands (Legacy FitLife and recently acquired brands). The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Online revenue, which consists of revenue generated from sales on the Company’s own websites as well as third-party e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately 67% of total revenue, compared to roughly 63% of total revenue during the same twelve-month period in 2023.

Sales to customers in the U.S. were approximately 95% and 93% for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with the balance of sales to customers primarily in Canada.

The Company provides limited financial performance metrics for three collections of brands—Legacy FitLife (consists of nine brands), MRC (consists of three brands), and MusclePharm (one brand). These collections of brands do not meet the definition of operating segments and are not managed as such.

Years ended December 31,

Control of products we sell transfers to customers upon shipment from our facilities or delivery to our customers, and the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than promised goods to the customer. Payments for sales are generally made by check, credit card, or wire transfer. Historically the Company has not experienced any significant payment delays from customers.

For direct-to-consumer sales, the Company allows for returns within 30 days of purchase. Our wholesale customers, such as GNC, may return purchased products to the Company under certain circumstances, which include expired or soon-to-be-expired products located in GNC corporate stores or at any of its distribution centers, and products that are subject to a recall or that contain an ingredient or ingredients that are subject to a recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

A right of return does not represent a separate performance obligation, but because customers are allowed to return products, the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled is variable. Upon evaluation of returns, the Company determined that product returns are immaterial, and therefore believes it is probable that such returns will not cause a significant reversal of revenue in the future. We assess our contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.

Customer and Vendor Concentration

Total net sales to GNC during 2024 and 2023 were 23% and 33% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accounts receivable attributable to GNC as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 represented 35% and 30% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was one vendor who accounted for 59% and 51% of the Company's consolidated accounts payable, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were two vendors who accounted for 44% and 28% of the Company's inventory-related purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were three vendors who accounted for 37%, 30%, and 10% of the Company's inventory-related purchases.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

All of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company will maintain allowances for doubtful accounts, estimating losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for products. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped into categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is recorded based upon management’s assessment of collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had provided a reserve for doubtful accounts of $41 and $17, respectively.

Product Returns, Sales Incentives and Other Forms of Variable Consideration

In measuring revenue and determining the consideration the Company is entitled to as part of a contract with a customer, the Company takes into account the related elements of variable consideration. Such elements of variable consideration include, but are not limited to, product returns and sales incentives, such as markdowns and margin adjustments. For these types of arrangements, the adjustments to revenue are recorded at the later of when (i) the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related products to the customers, or (ii) the Company pays, or promises to pay, the consideration.

We currently have a 30-day product return policy for direct-to-consumer sales, which allows for a 100% sales price refund for the return of unopened and undamaged products purchased from us online through one of our websites or e-commerce platforms. Product sold to certain wholesale customers may be returned from store shelves or the distribution center in the event product is damaged, short dated, expired or recalled.

GNC maintains a customer satisfaction program which allows customers to return product to the store for credit or refund. Subject to certain terms and restrictions, GNC may require reimbursement from vendors for unsaleable returned product through either direct payment or credit against a future invoice. We also support a product return policy for iSatori Products, whereby customers can return product for credit or refund. Product returns can and do occur from time to time and can be material.

For the sale of goods with a right of return, the Company estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount method and recognizes revenue for the consideration it expects to be entitled to when control of the related product is transferred to the customers and records a product returns liability for the amount it expects to credit back its customers. Under this method, certain forms of variable consideration are based on expected sell-through results, which requires subjective estimates. These estimates are supported by historical results as well as specific facts and circumstances related to the current period. The product returns liability includes estimates that directly impact reported revenue. These estimates are calculated based on a history of actual returns, estimated future returns and information provided by customers regarding their inventory levels. Consideration of these factors results in an estimate for anticipated sales returns that reflects increases or decreases related to seasonal fluctuations. In addition, as necessary, product returns liability may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that are considered, and will continue to be considered, include, but are not limited to, changes in the retail environment and the Company's decision to continue to support new and existing products.

Information for product returns is received on a regular basis and adjusted for accordingly. Adjustments for returns are based on factual information and historical trends for Company products and are specific to each distribution channel. We monitor, among other things, remaining shelf life and sell-through data on a weekly basis. If we determine there are any risks or issues with any specific products, we accrue sales return allowances based on management’s assessment of the overall risk and likelihood of returns in light of all information available.

Total allowance for product returns, sales returns and incentive programs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $564 and $571, respectively.

F-9

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is comprised of the costs of products, in-bound freight charges, shipping and handling costs, purchase and receiving costs, and commissions paid to Amazon and other online selling platforms. Other expenses not related to the production and distribution of our products is classified as operating expense.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company’s cash balances on deposit with banks are guaranteed up to amounts designated by the regulatory frameworks of the jurisdictions in which the accounts are maintained. The Company may be exposed to risk for the funds held in bank accounts that exceed the insurance limit. In assessing the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high-quality financial institutions. The Company had cash balances exceeding the guarantee during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists.

Restricted cash consists of cash on deposit with a financial institution in an interest-bearing account pursuant to a credit card agreement.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and/or our ability to sell the product(s) concerned and production requirements. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction in the rate of reorders placed by customers. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the aggregate allowance for expiring, slow moving and excess inventory amounted to $100 and $162, respectively.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with the guidance of ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The Company amortizes leasehold improvements over the estimated life of these assets or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.

Management regularly reviews property, equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based upon management’s annual assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s property and equipment and other long-lived assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

F-10

Intangible and Long-lived Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets and intangible assets to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist which warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group over the asset’s fair value.

Based on management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill

The Company has determined that it has a single reporting unit for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment test. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform an impairment test. If the qualitative assessment warrants further analysis, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using the market approach. The Company determines the amount of a potential goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge is recognized.

As the Company uses the market approach to determine fair value of the reporting unit, the price of its Common Stock is an important component of the fair value calculation. If the Company’s stock price experiences significant price and volume fluctuations, this will impact the fair value of the reporting unit, which can lead to potential impairment in future periods.

Based on management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Acquisitions and Business Combinations

The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and separately identified intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired trademarks and trade names, useful lives, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is the period needed to gather all information necessary to make the purchase price allocation, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. The deferred tax liabilities of the Company relate primarily to intangible assets that are not deductible for tax purposes in the jurisdictions to which they relate.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

F-11

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period.

Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding and antidilutive options that were excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows:

December 31,

Basic weighted average shares outstanding 9,197 8,980

Dilutive effect of potential common shares 701 830

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 9,898 9,810

Antidilutive options 22 234

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the use of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date:

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the term loans approximate their fair value based on the market interest rates of these loans.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues restricted share units (“RSUs”), stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services rendered.

F-12

Such issuances vest and expire according to the terms established at the issuance date.

Stock-based payments to officers, directors, employees and consultants for acquiring goods and services from non-employees, which include grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based payments to officers, directors, and employees, which are generally time vested, are measured at the grant date fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The fair value of stock-based payments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or other applicable valuation model such as the Monte Carlo valuation pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends. The assumptions used could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Segment Information

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and evaluates performance and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on financial data presented on a consolidated basis. Because the CODM evaluates financial performance on a consolidated basis, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment composed of the financial results of FitLife Brands, Inc (See Note 13).

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure (“ASC 280”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but has resulted in additional disclosures within the footnotes of the consolidated financial statements (See Note 13).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation and amortization expense for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on our financial statement disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement, the Bank provided the Company with a term loan for the principal amount of $12,500 (“Term Loan A”), and a revolving line of credit of $3,500 (the “Line of Credit”, and collectively with the Term Loans, the “Loan”). The Company used the proceeds from the Loan to fund the acquisition of MRC (discussed in further detail in Note 8) and for general working capital purposes.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On October 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the Bank, amending and restating the Credit Agreement between the Company and the Bank.

The Company used the proceeds from Term Loan B to fund the acquisition of the MusclePharm assets (discussed in further detail in Note 9) and for general working capital purposes.

First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to extend the Line of Credit to April 30, 2026.

Term LoansA and B – Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Term Loans accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of 3.50% or 2.75% above the one-month secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") published for such day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Company shall make quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest on the Term Loans until the principal balances are fully amortized. Quarterly principal payments for Term Loan A and Term Loan B are $625 and $500, respectively. The Company may prepay amounts borrowed under the Term Loans, in whole or in part, with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, by written notice to Bank at least one business day prior to the proposed prepayment. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company made a voluntary prepayment on Term Loan A of $2,500, and as such, Term Loan A will fully amortize in February 2027. Term Loan B will fully amortize in October 2028.

Line of Credit – Also pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, outstanding advances under the Line of Credit (“Advances”) will accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of 3.50% or 2.75% above the one-month SOFR, and the Company will pay the interest on the Advances monthly, with all principal and any accrued interest on outstanding Advances being due and payable in full on the Line of Credit maturity date. The Company may prepay amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit, in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, by written notice to Bank at least one business day prior to the proposed prepayment.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (each an “Event of Default”), which upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, among other things, interest will accrue at the Applicable Rate plus 2% per annum, and the Bank may declare all obligations, with interest thereon, immediately due and payable. The Amended Credit Agreement further contains customary representations and warranties of the Company; customary indemnification provisions whereby the Company will indemnify Bank for certain losses arising out of inaccuracies in, or breaches of, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, and certain other matters; and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as tested quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis, starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023, a Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 as tested quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis, starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023, and to the extent the Term Loans still have a balance as of June 30, 2025 and a Cash Flow Leverage threshold (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of at least 1.15 is not met, the Company will be required to make a prepayment on the Term Loans equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Outstanding Exercisable

The closing price for the Company’s Common Stock on December 31, 2024 was $16.30, resulting in an intrinsic value of outstanding options of $12,279.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase 22 shares of Company Common Stock. The stock options are exercisable at an average price of $16.63 per share, expire in five years and primarily vest as follows: one-fourth vested immediately upon issuance, and the remainder vest equally in equal annual installments over a period of three years from grant date. The total fair value of these options at grant date was approximately $161, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumption: stock price of $16.63 per share, expected term of 5 years, volatility of 45%, dividend rate of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 3.4%. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option awards; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock; and the expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase 234 shares of Company Common Stock. The stock options are exercisable at an average price of $9.55 per share, expire in five years and primarily vest as follows: one-third vested immediately upon issuance, and the remainder vest equally in equal annual installments over a period of two years from grant date. The total fair value of these options at grant date was approximately $1,014, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumption: stock price of $9.55 per share, expected term of 5 years, volatility of 45%, dividend rate of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 4.1%. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock; and the expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

The Company recognized $459 and $442 of stock-based compensation related to the vesting of these options during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there was $442 of unvested stock-based compensation that will be recognized as expense in future periods as the options vest.

NOTE 8. ACQUISITION OF MIMI’S ROCK CORP

On February 28, 2023, the Company acquired all the equity interests of Mimi’s Rock Corp. ("MRC") for the purchase price of $17,099. MRC is headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. The purchase price of $17,099 was paid with proceeds from the Term Loan A as well as cash on hand.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred $1,570 of transaction-related costs for the acquisition of MRC.

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition:

Assets acquired:

Accounts receivable $ 250

Prepaid expense and other assets 220

Sales tax receivable 862

Right of use asset 98

Property and equipment 32

Intangible assets 7,630

The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets by considering the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent results of operations.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has the following U.S. federal losses carried forward. U.S. federal losses incurred prior to 2018 have a carry forward of 20 years, subsequent losses can be carried forward indefinitely. The Canadian non-capital loss carry forwards expire between 2038 and 2044.

Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. may be subject to limitations in the event of a change in ownership as defined under U.S. IRC Section 382, and similar state provisions. An "ownership change" is generally defined as a cumulative change in the ownership interest of significant stockholders of more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. In connection with the merger between the Company and one of its subsidiaries in 2015, the Company has evaluated its net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards under the provisions of U.S. IRC Section 382. The acquisition resulted in an ownership change under Section 382, subjecting the Company’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards generated prior to the acquisition to an annual limitation. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately $3,845 of federal NOL carryforwards, of which $1,545 is subject to the Section 382 limitation. Based on the annual limitation, management expects that $2,300 of these carryforwards may not be fully utilized prior to expiration.

The deferred tax liability relates primarily to intangible assets that are not deductible for tax purposes in the jurisdictions to which they relate. Deferred income taxes have not been recorded on the basis differences for investments in consolidated subsidiaries as these basis differences are indefinitely reinvested or will reverse in a non-taxable manner. Quantification of the deferred income tax liability, if any, associated with indefinitely reinvested basis differences is not practicable.

The Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge any item on these returns. Because the tax matters challenged by tax authorities are typically complex, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is uncertain. The Company recognizes the effects of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements after determining that it is more-likely-than-not the uncertain tax positions will be sustained. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions or any accrued interest and penalties on the consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded an immaterial amount of interest and penalties in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

Filing HTML rendered to line-structured narrative text by the shipped reducer (datafeeds.edgar_fulltext.visible_text, keep_table_headers=True): scripts and inline-XBRL headers are dropped, and table content is reduced to its short label cells — numeric table data is not rendered and is therefore not counted. The same rendering is used for every year, so a year-over-year comparison is like for like.

The text is our rendering of the filing, not a facsimile: original pagination, typography and tables are not reproduced, and the numbers live in the financial statements (FA).

The outline locates item HEADINGS in this document. Only Items 1A and 7 have certified boundaries elsewhere in the terminal (the redline and the narrative-overlap number); every span here runs from one heading found to the next heading found.

How the outline was chosen. It is the longest chain of item headings that runs forward through both the document and the standard item order: 23 headings are on that chain and 17 further heading-shaped lines are not — the table-of-contents echo of every item, cross-references and exhibit-list mentions. Each entry's length is measured from its heading to the next heading on the chain.
