“Second quarter operating results were below our expectations,” said Jim Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Ongoing macroeconomic pressures in several of our key markets continue to impact consumer spending. This in turn creates challenges in our ability to attract and engage new customers and generate sales momentum. To counter these challenges, we have made several strategic changes in our business over the past few quarters, including (i) restructuring our commercial team, (ii) heightening our focus on product innovation, (iii) increasing our efforts to engage our sales leaders with an Associate-first approach, (iv) expanding into India, and (v) evaluating more business development activities.
“Next month, we will be hosting our Americas & Europe Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada along with other Associate engagement-focused events in the back half of the year. We are also planning to offer a more robust promotional calendar throughout the remainder of the year.”

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Activity
The Company generated $8 million in operating cash flow during second quarter and ended the quarter with $332 million in cash and cash equivalents while remaining debt-free. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the quarter. As of June 29, 2024, the Company had approximately $62 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization.
Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook
The Company is updating its net sales and earnings per share outlook for fiscal year 2024, as follows:

Consolidated Net Sales |

|
Diluted EPS |

$2.40 - $3.00 |
“While we anticipated lower sequential operating results following a successful promotional period in the first quarter, lower than anticipated active customer counts negatively impacted our second quarter results,” said Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer. “Additionally, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar created downward pressure on both net sales and operating margin during the quarter.”
Mr. Hekking continued, “We are revising our fiscal 2024 outlook to reflect year-to-date operating results, our expectation for a continued challenging operating environment across many of our markets, higher than anticipated unfavorable currency exchange rate impact on operating results, and an increased effective tax rate. We recognize the need to continue investing in strategic initiatives while also aligning costs with sales performance. Our balance sheet remains strong with $332 million of cash, zero debt, and we continue to generate solid cash flow.”

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.

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.
