Revenue for the first quarter came in at $608 million versus the $617.5 million Bloomberg Consensus estimate, while the telehealth firm swung to a loss of 40 cents a share from a 20-cent profit a year earlier.
HIMS recorded $33.5 million in restructuring charges, including inventory write-downs and transition costs.
"This was an incredibly valuable transition," HIMS CEO Andrew Dudum told analysts on an earnings call. "We are seeing adoption and weight-loss near-record levels, even beyond the demand we saw following this year's New Year's and Super Bowl campaigns."
