NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

 

NOTE A - 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 global 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/Europe and Asia Pacific, which is further divided into three sub-regions; Southeast Asia Pacific, Greater China, and North Asia. North America/Europe includes the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Southeast Asia Pacific includes Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand; Greater China includes Hong Kong, Taiwan and China; and North Asia includes Japan and South Korea. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in this consolidation.

 

The condensed balance sheet as of December 29, 2012, 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 state fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 29, 2013 and results of operations for quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 29, 2013. 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 December 29, 2012. The results of operations for the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2013, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year 2013 ending December 28, 2013.

 

On July 23, 2013, the Company disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting a formal investigation, which appears to involve possible issues regarding trading in the Company’s stock during late 2012 by certain of the Company’s directors, including the Chairman.  The Company, as well as certain of its directors and executives, have received subpoenas from the SEC to produce documents related to this matter. The Company and its directors are cooperating with the SEC in this matter. In the opinion of management, based upon advice of counsel, the likelihood of an adverse outcome against the Company in this matter is remote.  As such, management believes that the ultimate outcome of the SEC investigation will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE C — 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 D — 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 and Recent Developments

·                  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 December 29, 2012, 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 is comprised of 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 June 29, 2013, we had approximately 254,000 active Associates and approximately 70,000 active Preferred Customers worldwide.  For purposes of this report, we only count as active customers those Associates and Preferred Customers who have purchased from us 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/Europe — United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France(1), Belgium(1), and the Netherlands

 

·                  Asia Pacific

 

·                  Southeast Asia Pacific — Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand(1)

 

·                  Greater China — Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China (2)

 

·                  North Asia — Japan and South Korea

 


(1)         We commenced operations in Thailand, France, and Belgium at the end of the first quarter of 2012.

(2)         Our business in China is that of BabyCare, our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Our primary product lines consist of USANAâ Nutritionals, USANA Foods, and Sensé — beautiful scienceâ (Sensé), which is our line of personal care products.  The USANA Nutritionals product line is further categorized into two separate classifications:

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 formulated 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.  For example, during the second quarter of 2012 we modified the Matching Bonus component of our Compensation Plan, changing it from a short-term incentive to a long-term incentive.  We now refer to this bonus as our Lifetime Matching Bonus, which was fully phased in during the fourth quarter of 2012.  We believe that the Lifetime Matching Bonus is a more attractive incentive to our Associates and will help facilitate long-term growth for both our Associates and the Company.

 

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 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 sell our products, attract new customers to purchase our products, and 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 and gross profit 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.  During the six months ended June 29, 2013, net sales outside of the United States represented approximately 78% of consolidated net sales.  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 91% of product sales during the six months ended June 29, 2013.  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 and Recent Developments

 

Our primary objective, both on a short- and long-term basis, is to strengthen and grow our active Associate counts throughout the world.  To this end, we continue to execute our Personalization initiative and growth strategies in North America and Greater China, as well as introduce additional market-specific strategies in each of our regions.

 

We began the year with the implementation of a pricing initiative in several of our mature markets, which included price reductions in certain markets.  This initiative was intended to make our products and business opportunity more equitable across all of our markets.  As a follow-up to this pricing initiative, in the second quarter we implemented a worldwide policy, which focuses on cross-border purchasing by our customers.  With the Internet allowing consumers to research and purchase products online, we have experienced cross-border purchasing by customers in various markets in an effort to get desired formulations, favorable pricing, and products that are not available in their home markets.  We believe that it is in the best long-term interest of the Company, and our customers, to have customers focus on purchasing products that are approved and offered in their home market.  We estimate that this

 

15



Table of Contents

 

announcement generated $7.0 million in incremental sales during the quarter due to increased sales ahead of the implementation of this policy.  We anticipate that this policy will negatively impact our financial results in certain of our markets going forward.

 

Towards the beginning of the year we also offered a promotion in the United States and Canada, which incented our Associates to use our True Health Assessment application to market and personalize our products to new customers.  This promotion generated meaningful excitement in North America during the first quarter, which carried over into the second quarter.

 

During the second quarter, we have been preparing for our 2013 Annual International Convention, which will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah in August.  We typically reserve our most significant announcements and events for this meeting.  At this year’s convention, we will announce several important initiatives, which are designed to (i) reward customers who loyally use our products, (ii) simplify the USANA opportunity for all Associates, and (iii) increase and accelerate the earnings potential for anyone involved with USANA.  Although these initiatives will add pressure to our operating results during the second half of the year, we believe that the benefits offered by these initiatives will be a catalyst to long-term growth in both customers and sales.

 

Finally, during the first half of the year we also continued our international expansion efforts by preparing for entry into our newest market, Colombia, which we officially launched in early July 2013.  We believe that Colombia will be a successful market for USANA as well as an excellent entry point into South America.  For our Greater China region, we also announced our receipt of three additional direct selling licenses in Mainland China earlier in the year, which allow us to expand our direct selling business in China.

 

Results of Operations

 

Summary of Financial Results

 

Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 increased 17.5%, or $28.2 million, compared with the second quarter of 2012.  The increase in net sales for the quarter came, in significant part, from strong growth in Greater China, but also included meaningful growth in North America and Southeast Asia Pacific.  In general, sales increases during the quarter were the combined result of a higher number of active Associates and Preferred Customers in many of our markets, as well as higher sales volume per Associate from an increased number of our Associate leaders who are actively selling our products and building sales organizations.  As noted elsewhere in this report, our results for the quarter also benefitted from an estimated $7.0 million in incremental sales ahead of a worldwide policy that the Company implemented during the quarter.  Currency fluctuations and price changes did not have a meaningful impact on net sales for the quarter.

 

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2013 increased 44.6%, to $24.2 million, compared with the second quarter of 2012.  This increase was the result of higher net sales, lower relative Associate incentives, and improved gross profit margins.

North America/Europe:  The increase in net sales in this region was due to sales growth in each market in this region.  Sales growth in the United States and Canada was primarily due to increased sales volume per Associate from a growing number of Associate leaders who are actively selling our products and building sales organizations in these markets.  Net sales in Canada increased year-over-year despite price decreases, which were implemented earlier this year and reduced sales during the second quarter by an estimated $1.8 million.  Net sales in Mexico increased nearly 37% due to an increase in the number of active Associates in this market.

 

Although our Associate count was flat in this region for the quarter, our Preferred Customer count increased 9.6%.  The number of active Associates, however, did increase 7.7% in Mexico, and 4.3% in Canada.  We were pleased to achieve this level of customer growth, particularly in light of a difficult year-over-year comparison.  During the second quarter of 2012, we offered a promotion in connection with the launch of our Lifetime Matching Bonus Program, which resulted in strong Associate growth for that quarter.

 

Asia Pacific:  The increase in net sales in this region was driven by strong growth in our Greater China and Southeast Asia Pacific regions.  These increases were primarily the result of an increase in the number of active Associates and increased sales volume per Associate.  Similar to North America, our results in this region are presented against a difficult year-over-year comparable, due to the promotion that was offered in connection with the launch of our Lifetime Matching Bonus Program during the second quarter of 2012, which we estimate contributed nearly $4.0 million to net sales for that quarter.

 

Growth in Greater China was driven by strong sales and Associate growth in Mainland China, and also by sales growth in Hong Kong and Taiwan.  We believe net sales growth in mainland China was due to (i) continued momentum from our Asia Pacific convention, which was held in this region during the first quarter, and (ii) an increased number of Associates who are advancing through our business in Mainland China.  In Hong Kong, the number of active Associates decreased 17.5%, while net sales for the quarter increased by $2.4 million, or 5.5%.  This increase in net sales in Hong Kong included incremental sales generated ahead of the worldwide policy that we implemented during the quarter.  Without these incremental sales, net sales in Hong Kong would have declined year-over-year.

 

Growth in Southeast Asia Pacific was driven by the Philippines and Singapore.  Sales growth in the Philippines was again driven by meaningful growth in the number of active Associates, although at a more modest rate than the past few years.  Our results in Singapore benefited by approximately $1.2 million from increased sales of our global MyHealthPak product.  Sales of this customizable product throughout our Asia Pacific region are serviced through Singapore.  Net sales in Australia and New Zealand decreased modestly, only as a result of the price decreases that were implemented in these markets earlier this year.  Sales volume for the quarter in Australia and New Zealand increased noticeably due to a 6.3% increase in the number of active Associates and a 25% increase in the number of Preferred Customers.  We believe that the price decreases in Australia and New Zealand are contributing to the growing momentum in these markets.

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased to 83.1% of net sales for the second quarter of 2013 from 82.6% for the second quarter of 2012.  This increase can be attributed to production efficiencies, partially offset by an unfavorable change in sales mix by market and product.  We expect gross profit margins to decrease in the last half of the year due to less benefit from production efficiencies, the pricing initiative that we implemented during the first quarter of 2013, and from pressure on net sales relating to the initiatives that will be announced at our Annual International Convention held in August.

 

Associate Incentives

 

Associate incentives decreased 300 basis points to 41.1% of net sales for the second quarter of 2013 when compared with the second quarter of 2012.  This decrease is primarily due to the lower payout under our new Lifetime Matching Bonus program, but also includes decreased spending on contests and promotions. It is our objective to reinvest the savings generated by the Lifetime Matching Bonus in our Associate sales force in ways that will promote the long-term growth of the Company.  In this regard, we will announce several initiatives at our upcoming international convention that will cause our Associate incentives expense to increase beginning in the third quarter of 2013.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales remained relatively flat in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2012.  In absolute terms, our selling, general and administrative expense increased $6.2 million.  This increase was related to higher overall spending to support growing sales, with the largest increase coming from a $3.0 million increase in wages and benefits.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rate during the second quarter of 2013 was 33.4%, compared with 32.8% in the second quarter of 2012.  This increase was due to one-time benefits recognized in the second quarter of 2012 related to restructuring of our Singapore and Hong Kong operations, as well as larger tax benefits from our manufacturing deduction in the second quarter of 2012.

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share increased by 55.0% from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013.  This increase was due to higher net earnings and a lower number of diluted shares outstanding, which was the result of share repurchases over the last twelve months.

North America/Europe:  The increase in net sales in this region during the first six months of 2013 was due to (i) increased sales volume per Associate, (ii) growth in the average number of active Associates in Mexico where net sales increased $4.4 million, or 35.2%, and (iii) growth in the average number of active Preferred Customers.

 

Asia Pacific:  The increase in net sales in this region during the first six months of 2013 was driven by growth in Greater China and Southeast Asia Pacific, which was primarily the result of an increase in the average number of active Associates in the first six months of 2013.  This increase also included an estimated $7.0 million in incremental sales generated ahead of the worldwide policy that we implemented during the second quarter as previously discussed.

 

These improvements were partially offset by two events that contributed to sales during the first six months of 2012 that did not occur in 2013, namely: (i) an estimated $11.0 surge in sales ahead of price increases, and (ii) an estimate of nearly $4.0 million from the short-term promotion that we offered in connection with the introduction of our Lifetime Matching Bonus.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the first six months of 2013 increased slightly to 82.6% of net sales compared with 82.4% in the prior year period.  This increase can be attributed to production efficiencies, partially offset by a change in sales mix by market and product.

 

Associate Incentives

 

Associate incentives decreased 290 basis points to 41.2% of net sales for the first six months of 2013 when compared with the prior year period.  This decrease was due to lower payout under our new Lifetime Matching Bonus program.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales remained relatively flat in the first six months of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012.  In absolute terms, our selling, general and administrative expense increased $10.6 million.  This increase is related to higher overall spending to support growing sales, with the largest increase coming from a $6.0 million increase in wages and benefits.

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share increased 48.8% during the first six months of 2013 when compared to the first six months of 2012.  This increase was due to higher net earnings and a lower number of diluted shares outstanding, which was the result of share repurchases by the Company over the last twelve months.

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.  Although we are required to maintain cash deposits with banks in some of our markets, 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 at this time.

 

Operating cash flow

 

We typically generate positive cash flow due to our strong operating margins.  Net cash flow from operating activities totaled $47.3 million in the first six months of 2013, compared with $43.9 million in the first six months of 2012.  This increase can primarily be attributed to higher net earnings and tax-related cash benefits associated with significant stock option exercises in the current year period.  These increases were partially offset by increased inventory levels, which can be attributed to stock levels necessary to support growing sales in certain markets, incorporating longer lead times into our operating processes, as well as inventories for Colombia.

 

Line of credit

 

We have a long-standing relationship with Bank of America.  For the last few years, we have maintained a $60.0 million credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement with Bank of America, which expires in April 2016.  On July 18, 2013, we entered into an amendment to this credit agreement, which increases the amount that we may borrow under the credit facility to $75.0 million.  This was the sole change to our credit facility.  We did not draw on this line of credit at any time during the first six months of 2013, and, as of June 29, 2013 there was no outstanding balance on this line of credit.

 

The agreement for this 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 June 29, 2013, 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 increased to $96.1 million at June 29, 2013, from $70.8 million at December 29, 2012.  The net increase in cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to cash provided by operating activities, and was reduced by share repurchases as discussed below.  Net working capital increased to $91.4 million at June 29, 2013, from $61.7 at December 29, 2012.  This increase in net working capital was primarily generated by the increase in cash and cash equivalents, but was also affected by the increase in inventory discussed above.  Partially offsetting these improvements was an increase in other current liabilities, which was due primarily to higher accruals associated with overall growth of the Company’s operations.

 

Of the $96.1 million cash and cash equivalents held at June 29, 2013, $53.9 million was held in the United States, and $42.2 million was held by international subsidiaries.  Of the $70.8 million held at December 29, 2012, $38.6 million was held in the United States, and $32.2 million was held by international subsidiaries.

 

As previously reported, we plan to invest as much as $25 million in capital expenditures during 2013, which is meaningfully higher than our typical annual capital investment.  Planned investments in China and international development are the primary catalysts to expected capital spending in 2013.

 

Share repurchase

 

We have a share repurchase plan that has been ongoing since the fourth quarter of 2000.  The objective of this plan is to return value to our shareholders.  Our Board of Directors has periodically approved additional dollar amounts for share repurchases under the 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 six months of 2013, we repurchased and retired 414 thousand shares of common stock for a total investment of $18.1 million, at an average market price of $43.64 per share.  As of June 29, 2013, the remaining approved repurchase amount under the plan was $13.6 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.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 5.       OTHER INFORMATION

 

On July 23, 2013, the Company disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is conducting a formal investigation, which appears to involve possible issues regarding trading in the Company’s stock during late 2012 by certain of the Company’s directors, including the Chairman.  The Company, and certain of its directors and executives, have received subpoenas from the SEC to produce documents related to this matter.  The Company, and its directors, are fully cooperating with the SEC in connection with this matter.  The Company believes that the outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
