Mr. Guest added, “We continue to execute our strategy to enhance the overall shopping experience for customers in all of our markets and made further progress on this initiative during the quarter. Additionally, the rollout of our Active Nutrition line, which was introduced in late March, is proceeding according to plan. As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we are seeing a more challenging operating environment in several markets due to escalating conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe, however, that the successful execution of our strategy will deliver long-term sustainable growth.”

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Activity

The Company ended the quarter with $265 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt after repurchasing 304,000 shares for $29.7 million. Diluted shares outstanding totaled 20.4 million during the second quarter of 2021 and there was approximately $51 million remaining under the existing share repurchase authorization as of July 3, 2021.

Fiscal 2021 Outlook

The Company is reiterating its consolidated net sales and earnings per share outlook for fiscal year 2021.

Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook
Range
Consolidated Net Sales $1.24 - $1.28 billion
Diluted EPS $6.15 - $6.50

The Company maintains a 52/53-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2020 was a 53-week year and included one additional week of sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to Fiscal 2021.

Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our record second quarter results, highlighted by robust sales and earnings-per-share growth, were in-line with management’s expectations and were driven, in large part, by the sales program offered during the quarter. A similar sales program was offered during the third quarter of 2020, which was also very successful. Note that the timing of the 2020 sales program, as well as the additional week of sales in the fourth quarter of 2020, create a challenging comparable for us in the back half of 2021. Nevertheless, we continue to believe that 2021 will be another record year for USANA.”


Management Commentary Document and Conference Call

For more information on the USANA’s operating results, please see the Management Commentary document, which has been posted on the Company’s website (http://ir.usana.com) under the Investor Relations section. USANA’s management team will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss today’s announcement with investors on Wednesday, July 28, 2021 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Investors may listen to the call by accessing USANA’s website at http://ir.usana.com. The call will consist of brief opening remarks by the Company’s management team, followed by a questions and answers session.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares its financial statements using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Constant currency net sales, earnings, EPS and other currency-related financial information (collectively, “Financial Results”) are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates (“FX”) and help facilitate period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s Financial Results that we believe provide investors an additional perspective on trends and underlying business results. Constant currency Financial Results are calculated by translating the current period's Financial Results at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period and then comparing this amount to the prior-year period's Financial Results.

Q2 2021 Management Commentary

●  Second quarter net sales increased 30.1% year-over-year to a record $336.8 million.

●  Second quarter diluted EPS increased 41.7% year-over-year to $1.87.

●  Active Customers increased 8.8% year-over-year to a record 652,000.

●  Reiterates full-year 2021 net sales and EPS growth outlook.

Overview

Strong second quarter results continued to propel us towards another record year as we continue to focus on customer growth and engagement.  Our record top-line results for the quarter included double-digit, year-over-year sales growth in each of our regions, including a 16.5% increase in the Americas and Europe region and a 33.3% increase in the Asia Pacific region.  This growth was driven, in great part, by a short-term sales program we offered during the quarter that received a positive response from our Associates. As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we are seeing a more challenging operating environment in several markets due to escalating conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  We believe, however, that the successful execution of our strategy will deliver long-term sustainable growth.

We remain focused on providing a compelling digital experience for our customers and made further progress on this strategy during the quarter. Specifically, we launched 1) a product recommendation tool in conjunction with the Active Nutrition launch; and 2) a native shopping app in our China market. Additionally, the continued rollout of our Active Nutrition line, which was introduced in late March, is proceeding according to plan.

Overall, we are encouraged by our first half operating results. While we have not planned any additional short-term sales programs of similar magnitude in the second half of the year, we anticipate continued consumer demand and look forward to executing on our 2021 strategic growth initiatives.

Net Sales $336.8 million ●  +30.1% vs. prior-year quarter<br><br> <br>●  +20.3% constant currency vs. prior-year quarter<br><br> <br>●  +$25.2 million YOY FX impact, or +9.8%

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Activity

The Company ended the quarter with $265 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt after repurchasing 304,000 shares for $29.7 million.  Diluted shares outstanding totaled 20.4 million during the second quarter of 2021 and there was approximately $51 million remaining under the existing share repurchase authorization as of July 3, 2021.

Quarterly Income Statement Discussion

Gross margins improved 150 basis points from the prior year to 83.1% of net sales. Several factors contributed to the year-over-year improvement in gross margins including currency benefits, product promotions in the prior-year quarter, and higher sales and related leverage benefit on fixed costs.

Associate Incentives increased 290 basis points from the prior year to 45.7% of net sales. The key driver behind the increase was the short-term sales program in the second quarter. A shift in sales mix by market also modestly contributed to higher Associate Incentives.

Selling, General and Administrative expense decreased 200 basis points from the prior year to 21.5% of net sales, largely reflecting leverage realized on higher sales volumes. On an absolute basis, SG&A expense increased $11 million compared to the prior year, which reflects increased employee-related costs, increased variable costs on a rising sales base, and a modest increase in event and travel-related expenses.

2


The effective tax rate of 29.6% was largely unchanged compared to 30.0% last year. We now expect an effective tax rate of approximately 30.0% for Fiscal 2021.

We anticipate modest pressure on our operating margin in the back half of the year related to labor market pressures, and supply chain costs and we have adjusted our operating margin outlook accordingly.

The back half of 2021 introduces a challenging year-over-year comparable with fiscal 2020 as a result of (i) a successful short-term sales program that took place in Q3 2020 that was offered in the current year during the second quarter, and (ii) an extra week of sales in Q4 2020 due to the Company’s 52-53 week fiscal year and contributed approximately $18 million to the top-line and an estimated $0.17 to diluted earnings per share.

Digital Strategy

We continue to place a higher priority on our digital experience strategy.  During the quarter, we successfully launched a product recommendation tool in conjunction with the Active Nutrition launch.  This tool allows customers to build a personalized list of recommended products to meet their needs. Additionally, we launched a whole new shopping app in our China market, with additional shopping features planned for later this year.

Product Launches

As previously mentioned, we launched our new Active Nutrition line in late March, which was very well received by our customers. We are excited to offer customers a holistic approach to healthy weight management, as well as digestive health, energy and hydration.  We plan to expand the category over the next several years to include a broader product offering such as children’s health, the microbiome, and performance and energy.

Existing Market Growth, China Strategy

Second quarter business activity was highlighted by our short-term sales program which was launched across all markets. This program was aimed at driving increased sales volume through both existing and new Associate and Preferred Customers. The results of this effort were a key catalyst to the record quarterly net sales reported, with notable strength in China, South Korea and Malaysia. Similarly, we also achieved a record number of Active Customers in the quarter, attributable to records in both South Korea and Malaysia.  Notably, we plan to hold an in-person China National Meeting in late September, where we expect nearly fourteen thousand people to attend.

We are pleased with our operating performance during the first half of the year. And, we remain focused on executing on both our Fiscal 2021 and longer term strategic initiatives, which include business development opportunities that would strengthen, diversify, and grow our worldwide business. Our business development efforts are focused on: (i) overall nutrition; (ii) vertical integration; (iii) product and category expansion; and (iv) geographic expansion. At the same time, the overall health and well-being of our customers, sales force and employees remains of utmost importance to us. Our high quality health products and the dedication and efforts from our employees globally put us in a strong position to achieve this objective.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares its financial statements using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Constant currency net sales, earnings, EPS and other currency-related financial information (collectively, “Financial Results”) are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates and help facilitate period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s Financial Results that we believe provide investors an additional perspective on trends and underlying business results.  Constant currency Financial Results are calculated by translating the current period's Financial Results at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period and then comparing this amount to the prior-year period's Financial Results.
