SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 24, 2023--USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: USNA) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“Operating results for the third quarter did not meet our expectations, largely because of challenging economic conditions across many of our regions and a lower cadence of promotional activity during the quarter,” said Jim Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These factors made it difficult to generate both Active Customer growth and top line momentum in our business. Notwithstanding these near-term challenges, the strength of our balance sheet and business model allowed us to continue investing in key strategic initiatives during the quarter, and we plan to continue to invest in and execute these strategies going forward. We also believe that the expanding global nutrition category, and consumers’ increased focus on health and wellness, provide a compelling opportunity for us to leverage our best-in-class health products and business opportunity. Consequently, we remain confident and optimistic that our strategies will generate long-term Active Customer and sales growth for USANA.”
Mr. Brown continued, “We made progress on several initiatives during the quarter, including the re-engagement of our Associate leaders around the world. During the quarter, we hosted a successful Americas and Europe convention in Salt Lake City. We believe that these in-person events are key to generating momentum and excitement among our Associates, and we have more events planned over the next 12 months.”
“During the quarter, we also finalized plans to commence operations in India and anticipate opening this important market prior to year-end. We continue to believe that India provides a meaningful and diverse growth opportunity for USANA, and we are excited to introduce our best-in-class nutritional products in this promising market.”

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Activity
The Company generated $22 million in operating cash flow during the third quarter and ended the quarter with $307 million in cash and cash equivalents while remaining debt-free. The Company repurchased 180 thousand shares for a total of $12 million during the quarter. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $71 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization.
Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook
The Company is revising 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 - $920 million |
$900 - $950 million |
Diluted EPS |
$2.80 - $3.05 |
$2.65 - $3.30 |
“Inflationary pressures, lower promotional activity, and the strengthening of the US dollar collectively resulted in lower than anticipated top line performance,” said Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer. “Additionally, we updated our annual effective tax rate estimate during the quarter, which negatively impacted third quarter EPS by approximately $0.10 per share due to the relative distribution of taxable income by market.”
Mr. Hekking continued, “We are narrowing our fiscal 2023 guidance to reflect our third quarter operating results, expected fourth quarter results, and continued pressure from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. We remain committed to managing costs in line with expected sales performance while we continue to invest in strategic initiatives that we believe will drive sustainable long-term growth for USANA.”
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, October 25, 2023 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Investors may listen to the call by accessing USANA’s website at http://ir.usana.com. The call will consist of brief opening remarks by the Company’s management team, followed by a questions and answers session.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company prepares its financial statements using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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.
