The company faced challenges including macroeconomic headwinds in China, slowing consumer spending in the U.S., and a temporary disruption to its North American business.

Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: NATR) a annoncé ses résultats financiers pour le deuxième trimestre 2024. Les ventes nettes ont diminué de 5 % pour atteindre 110,6 millions de dollars contre 116,5 millions de dollars au même trimestre l'année dernière.

L'EBITDA ajusté a diminué de 8 % pour atteindre 10,4 millions de dollars.

L'entreprise a été confrontée à des défis, notamment des vents contraires macroéconomiques en Chine, un ralentissement des dépenses de consommation aux États-Unis et une perturbation temporaire de ses activités en Amérique du Nord. En réponse, Nature's Sunshine a mis à niveau sa plateforme numérique en Amérique du Nord, rééquilibré sa proposition commerciale en Asie/Pacifique et simplifié ses frais généraux, réduisant ainsi de plus de 5 millions de dollars les dépenses SG&A annualisées.

Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: NATR) hat die finanziellen Ergebnisse für das zweite Quartal 2024 bekannt gegeben. Der Nettoumsatz sank um 5% auf 110,6 Millionen Dollar im Vergleich zu 116,5 Millionen Dollar im gleichen Quartal des Vorjahres. Die Bruttomarge verringerte sich um 125 Basispunkte auf 71,4%. Der nach GAAP zuzurechnende Nettogewinn der Stammaktionäre betrug 1,3 Millionen Dollar, oder 0,07 Dollar pro verwässerter Aktie, ein Rückgang von 2,4 Millionen Dollar, oder 0,12 Dollar pro verwässerter Aktie, im zweiten Quartal 2023. Das angepasste EBITDA sank um 8% auf 10,4 Millionen Dollar.

Das Unternehmen sah sich Herausforderungen gegenüber, darunter makroökonomische Gegenwinde in China, eine Verlangsamung der Verbraucherausgaben in den USA und eine vorübergehende Störung des Geschäfts in Nordamerika. In Reaktion darauf hat Nature's Sunshine seine digitale Plattform in Nordamerika aktualisiert, sein Verbraucherangebot in Asien/Pazifik neu ausbalanciert und allgemeine Verwaltungskosten optimiert, wodurch über 5 Millionen Dollar an jährlichen SG&A-Ausgaben eingespart wurden.

Positive
  • Streamlined overhead expenses, reducing over $5 million in annualized SG&A costs
  • Upgraded digital platform in North America to strengthen performance
  • Rebalanced consumer proposition in key Asia/Pacific markets to drive customer growth
  • Maintained strong gross margin of 71.4% despite economic challenges
  • Ended the quarter with $68.7 million in cash and zero debt
Negative
  • Net sales decreased 5% to $110.6 million compared to Q2 2023
  • Gross margin decreased 125 basis points to 71.4% from 72.6% in Q2 2023
  • GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders decreased to $1.3 million from $2.4 million in Q2 2023
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8% to $10.4 million compared to Q2 2023
  • Lowered full-year 2024 guidance for net sales and adjusted EBITDA

Nature's Sunshine's Q2 2024 results reveal a challenging period for the company. The 5% decrease in net sales to $110.6 million and the 125 basis point drop in gross margin to 71.4% indicate significant headwinds. The 8% decline in Adjusted EBITDA to $10.4 million further underscores these difficulties.

However, the company's proactive measures, including upgrading its digital platform and streamlining overhead to save $5 million annually, demonstrate a strategic response. The revised full-year outlook, with net sales now expected between $436-$445 million (down from $455-$480 million), suggests ongoing challenges, particularly in Asia. Investors should monitor the effectiveness of cost-cutting measures and the company's ability to navigate macroeconomic pressures.

The Q2 results highlight regional disparities in Nature's Sunshine's performance. The Asia segment saw an 8.9% decline in net sales, while Europe showed modest growth of 1.7%. This suggests varying market conditions and consumer behaviors across regions.

The company's strategy to rebalance its consumer proposition in Asia/Pacific markets by introducing consumer-friendly packs is a noteworthy adaptation to local market needs. However, the revised outlook indicates persistent challenges, particularly in Asia. Investors should closely watch how these regional strategies unfold and whether they can effectively counter the macroeconomic headwinds, especially in key markets like China where consumer spending appears to be slowing.

Nature's Sunshine's upgrade of its digital platform in North America is a crucial move in today's digital-first marketplace. This investment aims to strengthen performance and improve capabilities, which could potentially enhance customer experience and operational efficiency.

However, the temporary disruption to the North American business mentioned in the report suggests that the implementation may have caused short-term challenges. It's critical to monitor how quickly these upgrades translate into tangible benefits, such as improved sales performance or customer acquisition costs. The success of this digital transformation could be a key factor in the company's ability to adapt to changing consumer behaviors and drive future growth in a competitive market landscape.

LEHI, Utah, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: NATR) (Nature’s Sunshine), a leading natural health and wellness company of high-quality herbal and nutritional products, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Management Commentary

“In the second quarter of 2024, we continued to make progress on our global growth strategies, addressing near-term challenges, while driving change and creating new opportunities for the future,” said Terrence Moorehead, Chief Executive Officer of Nature’s Sunshine. “For the quarter, net sales were $110.6 million, down 3% versus prior year on a local currency basis, driven by macroeconomic headwinds in China, slowing consumer spending in the U.S., and a temporary disruption to our North American business. EBITDA came in at $10.4 million, down 8% versus prior year.”

“In the face of increasing macroeconomic headwinds, we took several strategic actions in the second quarter. First, we upgraded our digital platform in North America to strengthen performance and improve capabilities. Second, we rebalanced our consumer proposition in several key markets in Asia/Pacific, adding consumer-friendly packs to drive customer growth and support repeat purchases. And finally, we took the initiative to streamline overhead and improve productivity, by reducing over $5 million of annualized expense from SG&A. We believe these changes will improve our competitiveness and provide an important foundation to drive long-term growth.”

Net sales in the second quarter decreased 5% to $110.6 million compared to $116.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates, net sales in the second quarter of 2024 decreased 3% compared to the year-ago quarter.

Gross profit margin in the second quarter decreased 125 basis points to 71.4% compared to 72.6% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was driven by increases related to higher inflation and unfavorable foreign exchange which offset our savings initiatives.

Volume incentives as a percentage of net sales were 31.4% compared to 30.3% in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to the timing of promotional incentives and changes in market mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the second quarter were $38.6 million compared to $42.3 million in the year‐ago quarter. The decrease was primarily related to the streamlining of our global overhead expenses and reduced service fees due to China's lower net sales. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 34.9% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 36.3% in the year-ago quarter.

Operating income in the second quarter decreased to $5.6 million, or 5.1% of net sales, compared to $7.0 million, or 6.0% of net sales, in the year-ago quarter.

Other loss, net, in the second quarter of 2024 was a loss of $1.2 million compared to a loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. Other loss, net, primarily consisted of foreign exchange losses as a result of net changes in foreign currencies, mostly in Asia. The provision for income taxes was $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $3.3 million for the year-ago quarter.

GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders decreased to $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2023. Net income attributable to NSP China decreased to $0.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter decreased 8% to $10.4 million compared to $11.3 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was driven primarily by the aforementioned decrease in net sales and gross profit margin. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined here as net income from continuing operations before taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other income (loss) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and certain noted adjustments. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the attached financial tables.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $17.3 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2024, totaled $7.0 million compared to $4.7 million in the comparable period of 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 453,000 shares at a total cost of $7.7 million or $17.05 per share. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $68.7 million and zero debt.

Outlook

Given softness in the Company's Asia segment, Nature's Sunshine now expects full year 2024 net sales to range between $436 - $445 million ($455 - $480 million prior) and adjusted EBITDA to range between $39 - $42 million ($42 - $48 million prior).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included information which has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as information concerning non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA and net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

We utilize the non-GAAP measures of non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of our operations and believe that these measures are useful indicators of our ability to fund our business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, U.S. GAAP net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance.

Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of Nature’s Sunshine Products’ performance in relation to other companies. We have included a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA, the most comparable GAAP measure. We have also included a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted EPS, in the attached financial tables.

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 functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries. This is accomplished by translating the current period's 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 the impact of foreign currency fluctuations is useful to investors because it allows a more meaningful comparison of net sales of our foreign operations from period to period. Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations 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.

With respect to our adjusted EBITDA outlook for the full year 2024, a quantitative reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP information cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to warrant liabilities and stock based compensation. For the same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.
