“USANA’s second quarter results were modestly ahead of internal expectations, highlighted by sequential improvement in mainland China and continued progress on several key strategic initiatives,” said Jim Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Net sales in the second quarter declined 4% sequentially when compared to the first quarter of 2023. Net sales in the first quarter benefitted from increased demand for several of our health products in China following the government’s shift in COVID policy. In addition, the announcement of product price increases in several markets stimulated purchasing ahead of those increases. Collectively, these two events contributed an estimated $25 million to top line results in the first quarter of 2023.

“Our leadership team continued to emphasize in-person engagement with our Associate leaders through live events and meetings across several of our key markets. Notably, during the second quarter, we held both our Asia Pacific Convention in South Korea and our national sales meeting in China. Both of these events generated strong attendance and enthusiasm. At these events we also announced USANA’s plans to open our 25th global market, India, where our team is diligently working to commence operations in late 2023. Although we anticipate that it will take time to build our business in this new market, we are confident that India will contribute to the long-term growth of USANA over the coming years.”

Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook

The Company is raising the lower end of its net sales and earnings per share outlook for fiscal year 2023 as follows:

Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook

 

Revised Range

Previous Range

Consolidated Net Sales

$900 - $950 million

$875 - $950 million

Diluted EPS

$2.65 - $3.30

$2.40 - $3.30

“A large global promotion was offered in the second quarter of 2022, which did not reoccur in 2023 and created a difficult year-over-year comparison for the current year quarter. Operating results in the second quarter of 2023, however, were modestly ahead of internal expectations due, in part, to a strong response to a local sales promotion offered in mainland China,” said Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer.

“Although the first half of this year benefitted from certain discrete sales activity not expected to recur in the back half of the year, our year-to-date results coupled with planned initiatives for the remainder of the year provide us confidence to raise the bottom-end of our full year guidance. We will continue investing in strategies designed to deliver sustainable long-term growth while managing costs in line with forecasted sales levels.”

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Activity

The Company generated $10 million of operating cash flow during the second quarter and ended the quarter with $300 million in cash and cash equivalents while remaining debt-free. The Company did not repurchase shares during the quarter and, as of July 1, 2023, had approximately $83 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization.

Management Commentary Document and Conference Call

For further information on the USANA’s operating results, please see the Management Commentary document, which has been posted on the Company’s website (http://ir.usana.com) under the Investor Relations section. USANA’s management team will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss today’s announcement with investors on Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares its financial statements using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). Constant currency net sales, earnings, EPS and other currency-related financial information (collectively, “Financial Results”) are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates (“FX”) and help facilitate period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s Financial Results that we believe provide investors an additional perspective on trends and underlying business results. Constant currency Financial Results are calculated by translating the current period's Financial Results at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period and then comparing this amount to the prior-year period's Financial Results.
