Management Commentary

Herbalife Nutrition reported net sales of $1.3 billion for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 9.5% compared to the prior year, which was below the Company’s expectations. The Company believes that macroeconomic inflationary pressures challenged Members’ operations and customer demand during the quarter. Net sales were also negatively impacted due to unfavorable geographic mix of revenue as well as the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, which drove a significant currency headwind compared to net sales the prior year.

Management took decisive actions to execute on expense management initiatives that benefited net income and also contributed to an adjusted1 EBITDA and adjusted1 EPS that were above or near the high-end of the Company’s Q3 guidance range. Additionally, during the third quarter, the Company strategically reduced $50 million of its outstanding debt.

From a global perspective, some of the Company’s underlying business trends and KPIs remained largely stabilized compared to Q2 levels. Worldwide active sales leaders, and new distributors and preferred customers, were slightly improved from Q2 levels. The global metrics were supported by significant strength in India and management is keenly focused on improving distributor metrics outside of India.

As such, the Company is rolling out a new campaign focused on driving new distributors to the Company. This collaboration with the Company’s independent distributors has resulted in market-specific initiatives designed to attract additional distributors to join the company in both the short and long-term. The Company is also supporting Members with the resumption of in-person events, product line expansions, and the deployment of enhanced technology tools to support their businesses.

The sales trends that softened through the third quarter are expected to continue into the fourth quarter were impacted by the challenging macroenomic landscape. Given the rapidly shifting macroeconomic sentiment and backdrop, as well as increased volatility in the marketplace, the Company is withdrawing FY 2022 guidance.

As the Company continues to navigate the macro backdrop, profit protection initiatives remain a focal point for management. At the same time, the Company continues to invest for future growth, including its digital transformation, the Herbalife ONE platform, in addition to the development and launch of new products around the world.

“Over our 42-year history we have overcome numerous macroeconomic challenges, and many of our distributors have developed new successful sales strategies and seen positive longer-term impacts on their organizations as a result of these times, as new individuals look to the Herbalife Nutrition business opportunity as a way to supplement their income,” said CEO, Michael O. Johnson. “We remain confident that the resilience of our business model, the entrepreneurial spirit of our independent distributors, the growth profile of our product categories, and the strategic actions we are taking will help us emerge from the current environment stronger than ever.”

Supplemental Information

SCHEDULE A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited and unreviewed), (All tables provide Dollars in millions, except per Share Data)

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to its reported results calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company has included in this release adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA, performance measures that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of certain unusual or non-recurring items such as non-cash interest expense and amortization associated with the Company’s convertible notes, expenses related to regulatory inquiries and legal accruals, debt issuance costs and losses on extinguishment of debt, expenses related to COVID-19 pandemic, non-income tax items, expenses related to transformation program, and expenses related to digital technology program, as further detailed in the reconciliations below.

Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, calculated in accordance with GAAP, can provide useful supplemental information for investors because they facilitate a period to period comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on reported results under GAAP, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. The Company’s definition and calculation as set forth in the tables below of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate them in the same manner as the Company does and should not be viewed in isolation from nor as alternatives to net income or diluted EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Currency Fluctuation

Our international operations have provided and will continue to provide a significant portion of our total net sales. As a result, total net sales will continue to be affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, in addition to comparing the percent change in net sales from one period to another in U.S. dollars, we also compare the percent change in net sales from one period to another period using “net sales in local currency.” Net sales in local currency is not a measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net sales in local currency removes from net sales in U.S. dollars the impact of changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries, by translating the current period net sales into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate the net sales for the previous comparable period. We believe presenting net sales in local currency is useful to investors because it allows a meaningful comparison of net sales of our foreign operations from period to period. However, net sales in local currency should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales in U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following is a reconciliation of net income, presented and reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, to net income adjusted for certain items:
