Q2 2022 Financial Performance
| Consolidated Results | ||
|---|---|---|
| Net Sales | $264 million | <ul><br> <li> -21% vs. prior-year quarter </li><br> <li> -18% constant currency vs. prior-year quarter </li><br> <li> -$10.9 million YOY FX impact, or -3% </li><br> <li> Flat sequentially in constant currency </li><br> </ul> |

| Active Customers | 559,000 | <ul><br> <li> -14% vs. prior-year quarter </li><br> <li> +1% sequentially </li><br> </ul> |
“As indicated in our preliminary results release on July 6th, we continue to experience COVID-related disruptions in several key markets, including mainland China. This caused participation in sales programs, Active Customer counts, and financial performance to come in lower than anticipated,” said Kevin Guest, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “Although many of these disruptions were outside of our control, and while we faced a tough year-over year comparable due to the timing of a successful sales program in 2021, our second quarter results were not up to our standards. Nevertheless, we remain committed to our business strategy which we believe will deliver sustained, long-term growth in customer counts, net sales, and EPS. Important elements of this strategy include (1) enhancing digital experience for our customers to improve the overall online shopping experience; (2) improving Associate onboarding and training to help drive and sustain customer growth; (3) exploring additional promotions and incentives on a market-specific basis; (4) launching experience centers in mainland China to promote growth in this key market; and (5) pursuing accretive business development opportunities.
"During the quarter, we streamlined our Associate onboarding program and provided Associates with additional tools to help them more efficiently and effectively setup and operate their businesses. Our team also launched improvements to our China shopping app to further improve the online shopping experience in that market. Although it takes time to recapture momentum, we are confident these strategies will deliver long-term growth.”

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Activity
The Company ended the quarter with $230 million in cash and cash equivalents and did not repurchase any shares during the quarter. As of July 2, 2022, the Company had approximately $83 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.
Fiscal 2022 Outlook
The Company is reiterating its net sales and earnings per share outlook for fiscal year 2022, which was updated on July 6, 2022.
| Fiscal Year 2022 Outlook | |
|---|---|
| Range | |
| Consolidated Net Sales | $1.015 - $1.065 billion |
| Diluted EPS | $3.85 - $4.45 |
Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer, said, “While we remain optimistic that our strategies will generate future growth, we believe we will continue to face a challenging operating environment in the second half of the year. Moreover, we will do so with a lower-than-anticipated Active Customer base, which will impact our top and bottom-line results for the period. Although COVID-related disruptions and inflationary pressures remain difficult, we remain steadfast in pursing investments to deliver on our business objectives. We will also continue to align our cost structure with sales performance. Despite a challenging operating environment, our debt-free balance sheet remains healthy, and we are on pace to generate meaningful cash flow for the year.”
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 27, 2022 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 2022 Management Commentary
Key Financial & Operating Results
| • | Second quarter net sales were $264 million as compared with $337 million during the second quarter of the prior year. |
|---|---|
| • | Second quarter diluted EPS totaled $1.00 versus $1.87 during the second quarter of 2021. |

| --- | --- |
Overview
As indicated in our preliminary results release on July 6th, we continue to experience COVID-related disruptions in several key markets, including mainland China. This caused participation in sales programs, Active Customer counts, and financial performance to come in lower than anticipated. Although many of these disruptions were outside of our control, and while we faced a tough year-over year comparable due to the timing of a successful sales program in 2021, our second quarter results were not up to our standards. Additionally, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movement negatively impacted year-over-year net sales performance by approximately 320 basis points.
The operating environment contributed to several business decisions, including the decision to increase inventory levels over the last couple of years to mitigate potential supply chain disruptions. We also continued to experience inflationary pressure across many areas of our business that have negatively impacted our operating margin and this is expected to continue over the next several quarters. Consequently, efforts are underway to align spending with current and expected sales performance, yet will allow for prioritized investments in areas of strategic importance.
Although we believe that we will continue to face short-term pressure on our operating performance, we remain committed to our business strategy, which we believe will position the Company to deliver sustainable long-term growth in customer counts, net sales and EPS. Our healthy balance sheet enables the flexibility to continue investing in our business to support efforts to create long-term value for our stakeholders.
During the quarter, we made progress on our digital strategy on several fronts. We introduced enhancements to our Associate onboarding program and provided Associates with additional tools to efficiently and effectively setup and operate their business. We also continued to invest in and enhance the digital experience for our customers around the world and launched improvements to our China shopping app to further improve the online shopping experience in this market.
In a few weeks, we will celebrate our 30^th^ Anniversary at our upcoming Global Convention. This will be a hybrid event in Salt Lake City with an expected in-person attendance of approximately 4,000 Associates. We have select events and modest promotional activity planned in conjunction with this celebration to help generate excitement and momentum in the business.

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Activity
We ended the quarter with $230 million in cash and cash equivalents and did not repurchase any shares during the quarter. As of July 2, 2022, the Company had approximately $83 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.
Quarterly Income Statement Discussion
Gross margin decreased 180 basis points from the prior year to 81.3% of net sales. The decrease can be attributed to the negative impact of currency exchange rates, higher inventory valuation adjustments and the loss of leverage on fixed-period costs due to lower net sales. The ongoing inflationary pressure on the price of material and labor also impacted gross margins in the current-year quarter. These cost pressures were offset, in part, by favorable changes in geographic sales mix.
Associate Incentives decreased 60 basis points from the prior year to 45.1% of net sales. The modest decrease reflects lower incentive and promotional expenses during the current-year quarter as compared to the global sales program offered in each of our markets during the prior year’s second quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased 360 basis points from the prior year to 25.1% as a percentage of net sales. The increase is largely due to loss of leverage on lower year-over-year net sales. On an absolute basis, SG&A expenses decreased $5.9 million compared to the prior year due, in part, to variable-based expenses.
The effective tax rate increased to 34.6% from the 29.6% reported in the prior-year quarter, largely due to a change in distribution of pre-tax income generated by market. The year-to-date effective tax rate of 33.5% is in line with expectations for the full year.

We continued to experience a challenging operating environment in China, as COVID-related lockdowns and restrictions in several areas persisted throughout the quarter, making it difficult to hold small in-person meetings. Consequently, the response to promotional activity in mainland China was meaningfully below our internal expectations. We currently have limited visibility in this key market as COVID-related disruptions continue to have a pronounced impact on our business. Despite the current difficulties, we remain committed to making strategic investments and are optimistic in the long-term growth prospects of this key market
North Asia: Net sales and local currency sales in South Korea decreased 23% and 13% year-over-year, respectively. On a sequential basis, net sales and local currency sales declined 4% and grew 1%, respectively. Weaker-than-anticipated response to promotional activity, which was partially attributable to COVID-related disruptions in South Korea was the key driver of the sales declines during the second quarter.
Southeast Asia Pacific: Key markets in this sub-region continue to be impacted by local restrictions and lockdowns. Additionally, concerns around a slowdown in local economies impacted consumer sentiment and purchasing behavior. Local currency sales and Active Customers in Malaysia declined 28% and 21% year-over-year, respectively. Sequentially, local currency sales decreased 1% and Active Customers were flat. The Philippines reported local currency sales and Active Customers declines of 48% and 42%, respectively. On a sequential basis, local currency sales and Active Customers declined 20% and 11%, respectively.

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.
