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 October 1, 2011 and results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended October 2, 2010 and October 1, 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 nine months ended October 1, 2011, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year 2011 ending December 31, 2011.

 

Revisions

 

Revisions relating to deferred taxes and intangible assets have been made to the Company’s financial statements to reflect adjustments made to correct the presentation of deferred taxes on a gross rather than net basis, and to record the impact of currency translation on intangible assets acquired as part of the 2010 purchase of BabyCare Holdings Ltd.  These adjustments revise amounts reported for periods prior to January 2, 2011 in the financial statements and related notes, for deferred taxes, goodwill, intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the foreign currency translation adjustment component of comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income.  While the overall net deferred tax amount has not changed, certain deferred tax line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet have been modified to reflect a gross presentation.  Additionally, goodwill and intangible assets have been increased, along with a corresponding increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, to capture the changes on these assets related to foreign currency translation. These revisions had no effect on our earnings from operations, net earnings, or earnings per share.

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.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08).  ASU 2011-08 simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment.  The amendments in this update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.  An entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.  Additionally, an entity no longer is permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value from a prior year as previously permitted by Topic 350.

 

ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.  The Company has early adopted this standard, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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 October 1, 2011, the fair value of term deposits in the consolidated balance sheet totaled $313, classified in cash and cash equivalents.

NOTE E — INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present.  Such indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, changes in business climate, and operating or cash flow losses related to such assets.  Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized.  Definite lived intangibles are amortized over their related useful lives.  No events have occurred subsequent to any of our acquisitions that have resulted in an impairment of the original goodwill or intangible asset amounts that were initially recorded from the transactions.

NOTE G — EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

 

Equity-based compensation expense for the quarters ended October 2, 2010, and October 1, 2011, was $2,967 and $2,937, respectively.  The related tax benefit for these periods was $1,180 and $1,073, respectively.  Expense for the nine months ended October 2, 2010, and October 1, 2011, was $7,107 and $7,739, respectively.  The related tax benefit for these periods was $2,693 and $2,824, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended October 1, 2011, certain executives left the Company, which resulted in the cancelation of these executives’ equity awards.  The recapture of equity compensation expense related to the cancelation of unvested equity awards reduced equity-based compensation expense for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 by $1,230.  The related tax impact for these cancelations 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 October 1, 2011.  This table does not include an estimate for future grants that may be issued.

During the nine months ended October 1, 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 October 1, 2011, a total of 5,363 units had been issued under this plan, comprising 5,241 stock-settled stock appreciation rights, 114 deferred stock units, and 8 stock options.  Also, as of October 1, 2011, 811 units had been canceled and added back to the number of units available for issuance under the 2006 Plan.

NOTE J — 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.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of USANA’s financial condition and results of operations is presented in six sections:

 

·                  Overview

·                  Customers

·                  Current Focus

·                  Results of Operations

·                  Liquidity and Capital Resources

·                  Forward-Looking Statements and Certain Risks

 

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto that are contained in this quarterly report, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011, and our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) through the date of this report.

 

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 October 1, 2011, we had approximately 214,000 active Associates and approximately 66,000 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

 

·                  Canada

 

·                  Mexico

 

·                  Asia Pacific

 

·                  Southeast Asia/Pacific — Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines

 

·                  Greater China — Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China*

 

·                  North Asia — Japan and South Korea

 


* Our business in China is that of BabyCare, our wholly-owned subsidiary.

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, to encourage behavior that we believe leads to a more successful business for our Associates, and to ensure that our plan provides us with leverage to grow sales and earnings.  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, net sales, cost of goods sold, and earnings are affected positively by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar.  Currency fluctuations, however, have the opposite effect on our Associate incentives and selling, general and administrative expenses.  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.

 

Customers

 

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 nine months ended October 1,

 

22



Table of Contents

 

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) aggressive international expansion.  Additionally, in light of certain management and strategy changes that took place during the first half of the year, as well as increased competition, our management team has continued devoting significant time to meeting with our Associate sales force.  These meetings have helped assure our

 

23



Table of Contents

 

Associates of our commitment to supporting them and have also provided us with more opportunity to receive 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 introducing USANA products for sale by BabyCare’s Associates in China, educating our Hong Kong Associates on BabyCare’s compensation plan, and working with the Chinese government to assist BabyCare in obtaining direct selling licenses in additional Chinese provinces.  We have introduced several USANA products in China during 2011.  During the first quarter, we rebranded several BabyCare products with USANA branding and now offer these products for sale by BabyCare’s Associates.  In the second quarter, we introduced five of our Sensé products to go along with the rebranded products.  Finally, in the fourth quarter, we anticipate introducing four of our key nutritional products for sale through BabyCare.  With this final product introduction, we will have 13 USANA products available in China, as well as 11 BabyCare branded products.  We also continue to make progress on obtaining additional provincial direct selling licenses and educating our Hong Kong Associates on BabyCare’s compensation plan.

 

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 changed the commission qualification requirements for new Associates worldwide to encourage more entrepreneurial Associates to join USANA and build a downline sales force at an accelerated pace.  While this change has caused us to enroll more entrepreneurial Associates, it has made it more challenging for us to enroll Associates in general, including those who simply consume our products and are less entrepreneurial.  As a result, our Associate counts have decreased in most of our markets, including North America, but the average spending per Associate has increased in these markets.  Although this increased spending per Associate has generated net sales growth for the Company, we are developing both short and long-term strategies to increase the number of Associates in North America and other markets.  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 personalization and product innovation, as well as longer-term incentives that will reward our top performing Associates in all of our markets.

 

During the third quarter we held our annual international convention in Salt Lake City, where we made several exciting announcements, including our plans to open France and Belgium in the first quarter of 2012.  These two markets, together with Thailand, which we plan to open near the end of 2011, will bring USANA’s country count to 18 markets worldwide.  Thailand and France are among the top Direct Selling markets in the world, and we are encouraged by the growth opportunity that these markets provide.

 

Results of Operations

 

Summary of Financial Results

 

Net sales for the third quarter of 2011 increased 6.3%, or $8.5 million, to $143.5 million, compared with the third quarter in 2010.  This increase in net sales is largely due to currency benefits of approximately $5.1 million from favorable year-over-year changes in currency exchange rates.  Additionally, strong sales growth in certain markets within our Asia Pacific region, including BabyCare, contributed to the increase in net sales.  Net sales in North America decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2011, compared with the third quarter of 2010.

 

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2011 decreased 3.6%, or $0.4 million, to $12.4 million, compared with the third quarter in 2010.  This decrease was primarily the result of higher relative Associate incentives and selling, general, and administrative expenses, which were partially offset by improved gross profit margin.

North America:  The decrease in local currency net sales in this region was the result of lower product sales volume due to a decrease in the number of active Associates in this region.  We believe that this decrease in Associates is predominantly due to difficult economic conditions in North America, coupled with the commission qualification changes we made in the third quarter of 2010.  This decrease in active Associates was partially offset by an increase in average spending per Associate on a year-over-year basis, also due to the commission qualification changes for new Associates.

 

Asia Pacific:  The increase in net sales in this region was the result of currency benefits from favorable changes in year-over-year currency exchange rates and higher product sales volume from an increase in the number of active Associates in the Philippines and South Korea.  The number of active Associates in the Philippines increased 87.5% year-over-year to 15,000, and net sales increased 156.8% to $6.8 million.  The number of active Associates in South Korea increased 50.0% to 6,000, and net sales increased 65.8% to $5.0 million.  BabyCare sales also increased 78.1% to $6.2 million.  This increase is due, partially, to a comparison of BabyCare’s full third quarter 2011 operations with partial third quarter 2010 operations, as we acquired BabyCare in August 2010.

 

The increases noted above were partially offset by declining sales and Associate counts in other markets within this region, particularly Hong Kong.  During the third quarter of 2011, the number of active Associates in Hong Kong declined 22.1% to 53,000, compared with the third quarter of 2010.  Third quarter 2011 sales in Hong Kong, however, were relatively flat at $34.8 million, compared with the prior year period.  Similar to North America, an increase in average spending per Associate in Hong Kong, due to our commission qualification changes, helped offset the decline in active Associates in that market.

 

We believe that the decline in Hong Kong Associate count during the third quarter is a function of our China integration plan and changes that have occurred throughout the process.  In the second quarter of 2011, we communicated our initial China integration plan to our Hong Kong Associates.  This plan included policy changes in Hong Kong that we ultimately did not implement, largely because of feedback from our Associates.  Although we did not implement these particular policy changes, many of our Hong Kong Associates meaningfully increased their volume of product purchases during the second quarter in anticipation of the policy changes and,

as a result, did not purchase from us in the third quarter.  Notably, the Associates who thus did not purchase from us at all during the third quarter are not included in our active Associate count in Hong Kong for the quarter.

 

Additionally, the change to our China integration plan created uncertainty among many of our Hong Kong Associates.  We believe that we have lost business from many Associates in Hong Kong as a result of this uncertainty.  Our Asia Pacific management team is working closely with our Associates in Hong Kong to ease the integration.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased to 82.4% of net sales for the third quarter of 2011 from 81.4% for the third quarter of 2010.  This increase in gross profit can primarily be attributed to currency benefits received from our international subsidiaries, as the majority of our products sold are manufactured at our corporate headquarters in the United States and transferred to our international subsidiaries.

 

Associate Incentives

 

Associate incentives increased to 46.1% of net sales during the third quarter of 2011, compared with 44.9% for the third quarter of 2010.  This increase was primarily due to a higher payout under our Matching Bonus program and the negative effect of currency fluctuations.  Additionally, we had a higher payout rate on base commissions under our Associate compensation plan.  On a comparable basis, this increase was partially offset by the inclusion of a full quarter of BabyCare’s operations in our operating results, as BabyCare’s separate compensation plan has a lower relative payout than the USANA compensation plan.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.3% of net sales for the third quarter of 2011, compared with 22.8% for the third quarter of 2010.  This relative increase can be attributed to expenses associated with our increased corporate branding efforts and the inclusion of a full quarter of BabyCare’s expenses in our operating results.  BabyCare currently carries significantly higher selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales.  Changes in currency exchange rates also negatively affected selling, general and administrative expenses.  Partially offsetting these increases was leverage gained on increased sales outside the United States in markets where selling, general and administrative expenses are lower.

 

In absolute terms, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared with the third quarter of 2010.  The most significant components of this increase in absolute terms were as follows:

 

·                  An increase in BabyCare expense of $1.7 million, primarily due to the inclusion of a full quarter of operations during the current year;

 

·                  An increase related to our corporate branding efforts of approximately $0.8 million; and

 

·                  An increase in credit card processing and bank fees of approximately $0.3 million.

 

Although reflected in some of the above items, changes in currency added approximately $0.9 million to overall selling, general and administrative expense.  These increases were partially offset by the decrease of $1.2 million in BabyCare acquisition costs compared with the prior year.

 

Other income (expense), net

 

Other income decreased by $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared with the third quarter of 2010 due to lower currency exchange gains on intercompany transactions during the current year quarter.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes totaled 34.5% of earnings before income taxes in the third quarter of 2011, compared with 32.7% in the third quarter of 2010.  The income tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 was lower due to tax benefits related to changes in uncertain income tax positions, larger prior-year tax benefits, and the level of stock option exercises.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Although net earnings decreased by 3.6% during the third quarter of 2011, when compared with the third quarter of 2010, diluted earnings per share increased by 2.5% due to a lower number of diluted shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases over the last twelve months.

North America:  The decrease in local currency net sales in this region was the result of lower product sales volume due to a decrease in the average number of active Associates in this region during the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same period in 2010.  This decrease in active Associates was partially offset by an increase in average spending per Associate on a year-over-year basis, also due to the commission qualification changes for new Associates.

 

Asia Pacific:  The increase in net sales in this region was the result of higher product sales volume due primarily to an increase in the average number of active Associates during the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same period in 2010.  This increase came predominantly from Greater China, where growth was led by Hong Kong with a 36.8% increase in net sales during the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same period in 2010.  Additionally, BabyCare added $14.0 million to net sales during the first nine months of 2011, in comparison with the prior year period, which included only partial third quarter 2010 results.  Excluding BabyCare, local currency net sales in this region would have increased 17.6% for the first nine months of 2011, compared with the first nine months of 2010.  Similar to North America, average spending per Associate increased in Asia Pacific due to our commission qualification changes.

 

We also experienced local currency sales growth of 102.1% in the Philippines, and 52.5% in South Korea.  This growth is also primarily due to higher product sales volume from an increase in the average number of active Associates in these markets during the first nine months of 2011.

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased to 82.3% of net sales for the first nine months of 2011 from 81.3% for the first nine months of 2010.  This increase in gross profit can primarily be attributed to currency benefits received from our international subsidiaries, as the majority of our products sold are manufactured at our corporate headquarters in the United States and transferred to our international subsidiaries.  The improvement in gross profit was partially offset by higher net freight costs on shipments to our customers.

 

Associate Incentives

 

Associate incentives as a percent of net sales were 45.6% during the first nine months of 2011, compared with 45.2% in the first nine months of 2010.  This increase was due to increased payout under our Matching Bonus program, as well as base commissions under our Associate compensation plan.  Additionally, currency fluctuations had a negative impact on incentives.  Partially offsetting these increases were (i) the addition of BabyCare in our operating results (the relative payout under their compensation plan is lower than payout under the USANA compensation plan) and (ii) certain initiatives that the Company put in place in the second quarter of 2010 to manage Associate Incentives as a percent of sales.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.6% of net sales for the first nine months of 2011, compared with 23.0% for the first nine months of 2010.  This relative increase can primarily be attributed to the inclusion of BabyCare’s expenses in our operating results (BabyCare currently carries significantly higher relative selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of net sales than USANA).  This increase was partially offset by leverage gained on increased sales outside the United States in markets where selling, general and administrative expenses are lower.

 

In absolute terms, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $15.7 million for the first nine months of 2011, compared with the first nine months of 2010.  The most significant components of this increase in absolute terms were as follows:

 

·                  Added costs from BabyCare’s operation of approximately $8.2 million;

 

·                  An increase related to our corporate branding efforts of approximately $2.8 million;

 

·                  An increase in wage-related expenses of approximately $1.6 million; and

 

·                  An increase in credit card processing and bank fees of approximately $1.3 million.

 

Additionally, although reflected in some of the above items, changes in currency added approximately $2.7 million to overall selling, general and administrative expenses.  These increases were partially offset by the decrease of $1.9 million in BabyCare acquisition costs compared with the prior year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have historically met our working capital and capital expenditure requirements by using both net cash flow from operations and by drawing on our line of credit.  Our principal source of liquidity is our operating cash flow.  There are currently no material restrictions on our ability to transfer and remit available funds among our international markets.  Repatriation of funds that are related to earnings considered permanently reinvested in certain of our markets would not result in a tax liability that would have a material impact on our liquidity.

 

Operating cash flow

 

We typically generate positive cash flow due to our strong operating margins.  During the first nine months of 2011, we had a net cash flow from operating activities of $53.5 million, compared with $46.2 million in the same period of 2010.  The most significant factor of this change was the increase in net earnings.

Table of Contents

 

Line of credit

 

We have a long-standing relationship with Bank of America.  For the last few years, we have maintained a $40.0 million credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement with Bank of America.  During the second quarter of 2011 we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, which, among other things, extends the term of our credit facility through April 2016 and increases the amount that we may borrow under the credit facility to $60.0 million.  We have not drawn on this line of credit since it was amended in the second quarter, and, as of October 1, 2011 there was no outstanding balance on this line of credit.

 

The agreement for this new credit facility contains restrictive covenants, which require us to maintain a consolidated rolling four-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) equal to or greater than $60.0 million, and a ratio of consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA of 2.0 to 1.0 at the end of each quarter.  The adjusted EBITDA under this agreement is modified for certain non-cash expenses.  As of October 1, 2011, we were in compliance with these covenants.  Management is not aware of any issues currently impacting Bank of America’s ability to honor their commitment to extend credit under this facility.

 

Working capital

 

Cash and cash equivalents at October 1, 2011 was $36.3 million, compared with $24.2 million at January 1, 2011.  Of the $36.3 million held at October 1, 2011, $18.3 million was held in the United States, and $18.0 million was held by international subsidiaries.  Of the $24.2 million held at January 1, 2011, $1.9 million was held in the United States, and $22.3 was held by international subsidiaries.  There are no material restrictions on our ability to repatriate cash held by our international subsidiaries.

 

Net working capital increased to $30.7 million at October 1, 2011, from $22.6 million at January 1, 2011.  This increase in net working capital was due mostly to net cash provided by operating activities, which was offset in large part by share repurchases as discussed below.

 

Share repurchase

 

We have a share repurchase plan that has been ongoing since the fourth quarter of 2000.  Our Board of Directors has periodically approved additional dollar amounts for share repurchases under that plan.  Share repurchases are made from time-to-time, in the open market, through block trades or otherwise, and are based on market conditions, the level of our cash balances, general business opportunities, and other factors.  During the first nine months of 2011, we repurchased and retired 1.1 million shares of common stock for a total of $32.7 million, at an average market price of $29.86 per share.  Also, during the third quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $30.0 million for share repurchases under the plan.  As of October 1, 2011, the remaining approved repurchase amount under the plan was $29.0 million.  There currently is no expiration date on the remaining approved repurchase amount and no requirement for future share repurchases.

 

Summary

 

We believe that current cash balances, future cash provided by operations, and amounts available under our line of credit will be sufficient to cover our operating and capital needs in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future.  If we experience an adverse operating environment or unusual capital expenditure requirements, additional financing may be required.  No assurance can be given, however, that additional financing, if required, would be available or on favorable terms.  We might also require or seek additional financing for the purpose of expanding into new markets, growing our existing markets, or for other reasons.  Such financing may include the use of additional debt or the sale of additional equity securities.  Any financing which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities could result in immediate and possibly significant dilution to our existing shareholders.
