Insights

The reported increase in GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA for Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. indicates a robust performance in the fourth quarter, with a more than tripling of net income and a 21% rise in adjusted EBITDA. Such a significant improvement in profitability metrics is likely to be received positively by investors, as it suggests operational efficiency and effective cost management. Furthermore, the company's gross margin improvement, despite inflationary pressures, is indicative of strong pricing power and cost-absorption capabilities. The no outstanding debt position coupled with a substantial cash reserve enhances the company's financial stability and provides flexibility for future investments or shareholder returns.

The growth in net sales, particularly the double-digit growth in North America, signifies robust market demand and effective expansion strategies. However, the decline in the European segment and the mixed results from Latin America and Other regions warrant a closer look to understand the underlying market dynamics. The company's focus on omnichannel customer growth engines could be a response to the increasing trend of digitalization in sales and marketing. Investors may view the company's strategic initiatives to leverage high-quality products and strong balance sheet as a sign of potential for sustainable growth.

The anticipated savings of $10 million in 2024 from gross margin initiatives reflects a proactive approach to cost optimization. The slight decrease in volume incentives as a percentage of net sales, despite the increase in net sales, demonstrates an effective balance between incentivizing sales volume and maintaining profit margins. The company's investment in digital growth and strategic initiatives, as indicated by the increase in SG&A expenses, is a strategic move that aligns with the broader industry trend towards digital transformation. The operational efficiencies achieved may provide the company with a competitive advantage in a market that is increasingly moving online.

Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 6.0% to $108.9 million compared to $102.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates, net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 5.6% compared to the year-ago quarter.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 71.9% compared to 72.2% in the year-ago quarter. Inflationary pressures and changes in market mix contributed to the slight decline.

Volume incentives as a percentage of net sales were 30.1% compared to 30.3% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in volume incentives as a percentage of net sales was driven primarily by changes in market mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the fourth quarter were $39.9 million compared to $38.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The slight increase was driven by increases in service fees in China, compensation, variable costs related to sales growth, and investments to drive digital growth and strategic initiatives. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses declined to 36.6% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 37.8% in the year-ago quarter.

Operating income in the fourth quarter was $5.7 million, or 5.2% of net sales, compared to $4.2 million, or 4.1% of net sales, in the year-ago quarter.

Other income, net, in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $2.0 million compared to $2.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Other income, net, primarily consisted of foreign exchange gains as a result of net changes in foreign currencies, in Europe and Latin America, which were largely offset by losses in Asia. The benefit from income taxes was $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a provision of $4.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders was $9.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, in the year-ago quarter. Net income attributable to NSP China increased to $1.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share, in the prior year quarter.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders was $8.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted common share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined here as net income from continuing operations before less-frequent items including, among other things, restructuring expenses and certain tax refunds. A reconciliation of adjusted net income to GAAP net income is provided in the financial tables below.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter increased to $9.7 million compared to $8.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was driven primarily by the aforementioned increase in operating income. 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.

Gross margin in 2023 increased 110 basis points to 72.1% compared to 71.0% in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA in 2023 increased 26% to $40.4 million compared to $32.0 million in 2022. The increase was driven primarily by the aforementioned increase in operating income.

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 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.
