NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

 

Organization, Consolidation, and Basis of Presentation

 

USANA Health Sciences, Inc. develops and manufactures high-quality nutritional and personal care products that are sold internationally through a network marketing system, which is a form of direct selling.  The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of USANA Health Sciences, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “USANA”) in two geographic regions: North America and Asia Pacific, which is further divided into three sub-regions; Southeast Asia/Pacific, Greater China, and North Asia.  North America includes the United States, Canada, Mexico, and direct sales from the United States to the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.  Southeast Asia/Pacific includes Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines; Greater China includes Hong Kong, Taiwan and China; and North Asia includes Japan and South Korea.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in this consolidation.

 

The condensed balance sheet as of January 1, 2011, derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial information of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures that are normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of July 2, 2011 and results of operations for the quarters and six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 2, 2011.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011.  The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2011, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year 2011 ending December 31, 2011.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04).  ASU 2011-04 updates existing guidance in Topic 820 to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  ASU 2011-04 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company does not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05).  The objective of ASU 2011-05 is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income.  To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate the convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS, ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  Regardless of which option is chosen, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements.  These amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  Also, the amendments do not change the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, with one amount shown for the aggregate income tax expense or benefit related to the total of other comprehensive income items.  ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

 

NOTE A — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company reports term deposits in accordance with established authoritative guidance, which requires a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

 

The three levels are defined as follows:

 

·                  Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

 

·                  Level 2 inputs are from other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

·                  Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are used to measure fair value in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The fair values of term deposits placed with banks are determined based on the pervasive interest rates in the market, which are also the interest rates as stated in the contracts with the banks. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use the pervasive interest rates input as Level 2.  The carrying values of these term deposits approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.  As of July 2, 2011, the fair value of term deposits in the consolidated balance sheet totaled $1,856, consisting of $309, classified in cash and cash equivalents, and $1,547 in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

NOTE F — EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

 

Equity-based compensation expense for the quarters ended July 3, 2010, and July 2, 2011, was $2,184 and $1,567, respectively.  The related tax benefit for these periods was $787 and $568, respectively.  Expense for the six months ended July 3, 2010, and July 2, 2011, was $4,140 and $4,802, respectively.  The related tax benefit for these periods was $1,514 and $1,751, respectively.

 

During the quarter ended July 2, 2011, certain executives left the Company, which resulted in the cancellation of these executives’ equity awards.  The recapture of equity compensation expense related to the cancellation of unvested equity awards reduced equity-based compensation expense for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2011 by $1,230.  The related tax impact for these cancellations was $424.

 

The following table shows the remaining unrecognized compensation expense on a pre-tax basis for all types of equity awards that were outstanding as of July 2, 2011.  This table does not include an estimate for future grants that may be issued.

During the quarter ended July 2, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved a 5,000 increase in the number of new shares authorized for issuance under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2006 Plan”).  This increase brings the total shares authorized under the 2006 Plan to 10,000.  The 2006 Plan is currently the only plan utilized by the Company for the issuance of equity awards.  As of July 2, 2011, a total of 4,971 units had been issued under this plan, comprising 4,849 stock-settled stock appreciation rights, 114 deferred stock units, and 8 stock options.  Also, as of July 2, 2011, 761 units had been cancelled and added back to the number of units available for issuance under the 2006 Plan.

NOTE G — COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for each period.  Shares that have been repurchased and retired during the periods specified below have been included in the calculation of the number of weighted-average shares that are outstanding for the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares that are outstanding (computed under basic EPS) and on potentially dilutive shares.  Shares that are included in the diluted earnings per share calculations under the treasury stock method include equity awards that are in-the-money but have not yet been exercised.

NOTE I — SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

USANA operates in a single operating segment as a direct selling company that develops, manufactures, and distributes high-quality nutritional and personal care products that are sold through a global network marketing system of independent distributors (“Associates”).  As such, management has determined that the Company operates in one reportable business segment.  Performance for a region or market is primarily evaluated based on sales.  The Company does not use profitability reports on a regional or market basis for making business decisions.  No single Associate accounted for 10% or more of net sales for the periods presented.  The table below summarizes the approximate percentage of total product revenue that has been contributed by the Company’s nutritional and personal care products for the periods indicated.

NOTE J — LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT

 

During the quarter ended July 2, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America.  This agreement, among other things, extends the term of the Company’s line of credit through May 2016 and increases the amount that may be borrowed under the credit facility from $40,000 to $60,000.  The agreement for this line of credit contains restrictive covenants based on adjusted EBITDA and a debt coverage ratio.  The interest rate on funds drawn from this line is computed at the bank’s Prime Rate or LIBOR, adjusted by features specified in the Credit Agreement.  The Company did not draw on this line of credit during the quarter, and, as of July 2, 2011 there was no outstanding balance on this line of credit.

Overview

 

We develop and manufacture high-quality, science-based nutritional and personal care products that are distributed internationally through a network marketing system, which is a form of direct selling.  Our customer base comprises two types of customers: “Associates” and “Preferred Customers.”  Associates are independent distributors of our products who also purchase our products for their personal use.  Preferred Customers purchase our products strictly for their personal use and are not permitted to resell or to distribute the products.  As of July 2, 2011, we had approximately 222,000 active Associates and approximately 68,000 active Preferred Customers worldwide.  For purposes of this report, we only count as active customers those Associates and Preferred Customers who have purchased product from USANA at any time during the most recent three-month period, either for personal use or for resale.

 

We have ongoing operations in the following markets, which are grouped and presented as follows:

 

·                  North America

 

·                  United States

We believe that our ability to attract and retain Associates and Preferred Customers to sell and consume our products is positively influenced by a number of factors.  Some of these factors include: the general public’s heightened awareness and understanding of the connection between diet and long-term health, the aging of the worldwide population as older people generally tend to consume more nutritional supplements, and the growing desire for a secondary source of income and small business ownership.

 

We believe that our high-quality products and our financially rewarding Associate Compensation Plan are the key components to attracting and retaining Associates.  We strive to ensure that our products are up-to-date with the latest science in nutrition research and to keep our product lines relatively compact, which we believe simplifies the selling and buying process for our Associates and Preferred Customers.  We also periodically make changes to our Compensation Plan in an effort to ensure that our plan is among the most rewarding in the industry and to encourage behavior that we believe leads to a more successful business for our Associates.  There is a risk, however, that such changes may cause an unanticipated shift in Associate behavior, thus harming our business.

 

To further support our Associates in building their businesses, we sponsor meetings and events throughout the year, which offer information about our products and our network marketing system.  These meetings are designed to assist Associates in their business development and to provide a forum for interaction with some of our Associate leaders and members of our management team.  We also provide low cost sales tools, including online sales, business management, and training tools, which we believe are an integral part of building and maintaining a successful home-based business for our Associates.  Although we provide training and sales tools, we ultimately rely on our Associates to (i) sell our products, (ii) attract new customers to purchase our products; and (iii) educate and train new Associates.

 

Because we have operations in multiple markets, with sales and expenses being generated and incurred in multiple currencies, our reported U.S. dollar sales and earnings can be significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.  In general, our reported sales and earnings are affected positively by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar.  In our net sales discussions that follow, we approximate the impact of currency fluctuations on net sales by translating current year sales at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable periods of the prior year.

Because we utilize a direct selling model for the distribution of our products, the success and growth of our business is primarily based on our ability to attract new Associates and retain existing Associates to sell and consume our products.  Notably, sales to Associates account for the majority of our product sales, representing 90% of product sales during the six months ended July 2, 2011.  Additionally, it is important to attract and retain Preferred Customers as consumers of our products.  Increases or decreases in product sales are typically the result of variations in product sales volumes relating to fluctuations in the number of active Associates and Preferred Customers purchasing our products.  The number of active Associates and Preferred Customers is, therefore, used by management as a key non-financial measure.

 

The tables below summarize the changes in our active customer base by geographic region.  These numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand as of the dates indicated.

Current Focus

 

We are currently focusing our efforts on: (i) the development of China through BabyCare, (ii) growing our North American markets during a difficult economic environment, and (iii) more aggressive international expansion.  Additionally, in light of certain management and strategy changes that took place during the second quarter, as well as increased competition, our management team has been devoting the majority of their time in meeting with our Associate sales force.  These meetings have helped assure our Associates of our commitment to supporting them and have also provided us with more opportunity to get their input on strategies for the business.

 

Over the past several years, we have experienced significant growth in our Asia Pacific region, particularly in our Hong Kong market.  In light of this growth and our acquisition of BabyCare in China, we believe that we are well-positioned long-term for growth in China.  During 2011 our efforts in Asia Pacific are focused on integrating BabyCare into our business and motivating our successful Asian Associate base to grow BabyCare in China.  This includes working with the Chinese government to assist BabyCare in obtaining direct selling licenses in additional Chinese provinces and introducing additional USANA products for sale by BabyCare in China as we complete the registration process.  During the first quarter of 2011 we began re-designing some of the BabyCare product packaging to include USANA branding and in the second quarter we introduced five of our Sensé products.  In the fourth quarter, we anticipate introducing four of our key nutritional products for sale through BabyCare.

 

Difficult economic conditions continue to present a challenge for our overall business, especially in our North American markets.  Additionally, during the third quarter of 2010 we made a modest change to the commission qualification requirements for our Associates.  We believe that the difficult economic conditions coupled with this change may have added pressure on our ability to attract more Associates to the business in the near term.  We are developing both short and long-term plans to grow sales in North America.  In the short-term, we plan to offer promotions and incentives for our customers to generate excitement and regain momentum.  We have been working closely with our Associate leaders to develop these initiatives.  We will also continue our efforts to increase our global brand recognition.  In the long-term, we are evaluating strategies around product innovation and customization as well as longer-term incentives that will reward our top performing Associates.

 

Finally, during the second quarter we announced our plans to expand into Thailand by the end of 2011.  Thailand is one of the top Direct Selling markets in the world and we are encouraged about the growth opportunity that this market provides.  We expect to be more aggressive in our international expansion in the near-term.

 

Results of Operations

 

Summary of Financial Results

 

Net sales for the second quarter of 2011 increased 18.2%, or $22.9 million, to $148.9 million when compared with the second quarter in 2010.  The increase in net sales is largely due to higher product sales in several markets in our Asia Pacific region including $5.6 million from the addition of BabyCare.  Net sales in North America, however, decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2011 compared with the second quarter of 2010.  The overall change in net sales during the second quarter also includes a benefit of approximately $5.8 million from favorable changes in currency exchange rates.

 

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2011 increased 28.7%, or $3.1 million, to $13.9 million when compared with the second quarter in 2010.  This increase was primarily the result of improved gross profit margin and lower relative selling, general and administrative expense on increased net sales.  These improvements were partially offset by a relative increase in Associate incentives.
