clinical decision support software in the third quarter of 2024, we experienced a temporary disruption in procedure volume as practitioners adjusted to the new workflow in their offices.
Additionally, we experienced some disruption to procedure volume from hurricane-related clinic closures in several of our core states. Although we expect some residual impact from these headwinds in the fourth quarter of 2024, we anticipate
procedure revenue growth will reaccelerate in 2025.
2024 Third Quarter Financial Review
(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted)
Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $51.4 million compared to $45.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. Procedure revenue grew 7.1%,
reflecting growth at established clinics and the addition of new clinics, partially offset by a temporary slowdown in procedure volume related to the introduction of enhanced clinical decision support software. In addition, Hurricane Helene impacted
procedure volume from clinic closures in our core states. Dietary supplement revenue grew 21.7%, benefiting from the transition of a portion of this business as we continue to drive improvements in our Amazon business.
Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 70.5% compared to 68.9% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily
due to increased vertical integration of manufacturing and effective cost management, which more than offset a revenue mix shift to dietary supplements.
Operating income for the third quarter of 2024 was $12.2 million, compared to $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. Operating income in the
third quarter of 2024 increased primarily due to increased sales and gross profit margin, as well as a moderation in operating expense growth.
Net income
for the third quarter of 2024 was $12.7 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp. stockholders of $0.33, compared to net income of $19.6 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to biote Corp.
stockholders of $0.24 for the third quarter of 2023. Net income for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 included gains of $7.2 million and $17.5 million, respectively, due to a change in the fair value of the earnout liabilities.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $16.2 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 31.5%. In the third quarter of 2023, Adjusted EBITDA
was $14.0 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.8%. The increase in 2024 third quarter Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin reflected improved sales, higher gross profit margin and effective operating cost management.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Outlook
Ms. Weber commented, Biote continues to make solid progress in driving growth in our top-tier clinics and
further expanding our practitioner network. Our quick-start program that accelerates the revenue ramp from new clinics also remains an important contributor to growth.
Ms. Weber continued, We are confident that our advanced clinical decision support software, launched toward the end of the third quarter of 2024,
represents a key competitive differentiator for Biote and further advances our commitment to enhancing patient health. Our updated software follows the latest evidence-based publications and makes recommendations across the expanded range of our
portfolio of products. Additionally, we expect our software to strengthen our providers capabilities to serve a broader range of patients.
