USANA Health Sciences Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

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.

Key Financial & Operating Results

  • Third quarter net sales were $213 million versus $233 million during Q3 2022.
  • Third quarter diluted EPS was $0.59 as compared with $0.78 during Q3 2022.
  • Company narrows fiscal year 2023 net sales and diluted EPS outlook to $900 million to $920 million and $2.80 to $3.05, respectively (previously $900 million to $950 million and $2.65 to $3.30).

Active Customers

  • -2% vs. Q3 2022

“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.

About USANA

USANA develops and manufactures high-quality nutritional supplements, functional foods and personal care products that are sold directly to Associates and Preferred Customers throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Mexico, Malaysia, the Philippines, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Thailand, France, Belgium, Colombia, Indonesia, Germany, Spain, Romania, and Italy.

Q3 2023 Management Commentary
 

Key Financial & Operating Results
Third quarter net sales were $213 million versus $233 million during Q3 2022.
Third quarter diluted EPS was $0.59 as compared with $0.78 during Q3 2022.
Company narrows fiscal year 2023 net sales and diluted EPS outlook to $900 million to $920 million and $2.80 to $3.05, respectively (previously $900 million to $950 million and $2.65 to $3.30).

Overview
 
Our third quarter operating results 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 when compared to both the preceding and prior-year quarters. These factors created a challenging environment to achieve desired levels of Active Customer and top-line growth 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. These strategies include 1) Re-engagement of our Associate leaders around the world; 2) Expansion of our business into India; 3) New incentive opportunities for our salesforce; 4) Pursuing additional acquisition opportunities and; 5) Expanding our digital commerce initiatives. 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.

We made progress on these 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 a key part of engaging our Associate leaders and help contribute to momentum and excitement in our business.  There are several more in-person events and activities planned over the next year that will be tailored to specific regions and markets in an effort to stimulate growth in the number of Active Customers around the world.

We also finalized plans to commence operations in India during the quarter and anticipate opening this important market prior to year-end.  Although it will take time to build our business in this new market, 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.

Testing and offering new incentives to our Associates and expanding our digital commerce initiatives remain areas of key strategic focus for USANA. We believe our recently launched Affiliate program in select markets is a meaningful long-term growth opportunity for USANA and provides an exciting opportunity to individuals looking for an alternative way to participate in direct selling. During the quarter, we remained actively engaged with our sales leaders and continued to incorporate their feedback as we look to expand and grow this exciting program.

During the fourth quarter, we plan to modestly increase the cadence of promotional activity across select markets to drive customer growth and offset some of the typical fourth quarter seasonality in our business. We anticipate the operating environment across our key markets will remain challenging in the foreseeable future and we've adjusted our guidance accordingly.

Gross margin increased 10 basis points from the prior year to 80.1% of net sales. The increase can be attributed to improved inventory management and modest price increases, partially offset by foreign currency exchange rates, increased material costs, and the loss of leverage on fixed-period costs due to lower net sales.

Associate Incentives increased 10 basis points from the prior year to 42.1% of net sales. The increase largely reflects the shift in market mix and the related incentive offering.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased 140 basis points from the prior year to 29.7% as a percentage of net sales. The relative increase is primarily due to a loss of leverage on lower year-over-year net sales. On an absolute basis, SG&A expenses decreased $2.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2022, largely due to lower event-related costs and lower employee-related expenses.

The year-to-date effective tax rate estimate was increased to 38.0%, which resulted in a tax rate of 44.7% during the current-year quarter as compared to the 35.7% tax rate reported in the third quarter of 2022.  This increase can primarily be attributed to an unfavorable change in the mix of taxable income by market.

Greater China:  Net sales in mainland China decreased 3% on a year-over-year basis while local currency sales grew 3% year-over-year. Active Customers in mainland China increased 9% year-over-year, largely due to a favorable comparison. Sequentially, net sales in mainland China declined 20% on a reported basis and 17% in local currency. The number of Active Customers decreased 9% sequentially. The sequential declines in mainland China were attributable to lower promotional cadence during the third quarter compared to the second quarter (which included a successful promotion targeted at generating sales to new customers).

North Asia: Net sales and local currency sales in South Korea declined 5% and 7% year-over-year, respectively, and Active Customers declined 8%. The year-over-year declines reflect challenges in the local economy which are resulting in lower levels of consumer spending. On a sequential basis, both net sales and local currency sales declined 5%, while Active Customers declined 2%. Lower relative levels of promotional activity was the main contributing factor to the sequential decline.
 
Southeast Asia Pacific: Both net sales and local currency sales in the Philippines declined 38% year-over-year, while Active Customers were 33% lower. Sequentially, both net sales and local currency sales in the Philippines declined 20%, while Active Customers declined 9%. Consumer sentiment in this market remains challenging as customers have become increasingly price-sensitive due to the challenging economic environment.
 
In Malaysia, net sales and local currency sales declined 5% and 2% year-over-year, respectively, while Active Customers grew 4% year-over-year. Sequentially, net sales, local currency sales and Active Customers in Malaysia increased 10%, 13% and 12%, respectively. A favorable response to a local promotion offered during the third quarter helped drive positive results in Malaysia.

Net sales in the United States declined 21% and Active Customers decreased 14% on a year-over-year basis. The year-over-year declines largely reflect an increasingly price-sensitive consumer along with a challenging comparable period due to the occurrence of the Company's 30th Anniversary Convention in the prior-year quarter and the sales attributable to that event. In the United States, net sales and Active Customers declined 3% and 2% on a sequential basis, respectively.

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.
