Management Commentary
“In the fourth quarter we managed to achieve a 3% sequential increase in revenue despite the difficult macroeconomic environment and continued pressure on consumer sentiment. We have substantially completed the major restructuring initiatives announced last quarter and expect to realize most of the associated $1.5 million annualized cost savings in the coming year. We also relocated about 40% of our total product sourcing base from America to East Asia, much closer to our main markets, to reduce tariff uncertainty and streamline logistics,” said Chris Sharng, President of Natural Health Trends Corp.
Mr. Sharng continued, “Looking ahead, 2026 marks our 25th Anniversary, a significant milestone for the Company. We have prepared an exciting program, including a big celebration in Hong Kong where we anticipate 1,500 attendees from around the world, signature products and incentives to leverage these moments effectively, and we are focused on making this anniversary a catalyst for renewed momentum.”
