Management Commentary

Herbalife reported second quarter 2024 net sales of $1.3 billion, down 2.5% year-over-year, including 270 basis points of foreign currency headwinds. On a constant currency basis2, net sales increased 0.2% year-over-year.

Second quarter gross profit margin improved to 77.9% compared to 77.0% in the second quarter of 2023. On a year-over-year basis, gross profit margin primarily benefited from approximately 160 basis points of pricing, partially offset by approximately 60 basis points of input cost inflation, mainly related to increased raw material costs.

Net income was $4.7 million, with net income margin of 0.4% and adjusted net income1 of $54.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA1 of $180.0 million includes approximately $11 million of foreign currency headwinds year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 14.1%, up 120 basis points year-over-year. Diluted EPS was $0.05, with adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.54, which includes a $0.07 year-over-year foreign currency headwind.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $102.5 million and $116.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Capital expenditures were approximately $36 million and $69 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and capitalized SaaS implementation costs were approximately $5 million and $10 million, respectively. The Company expects to incur total capital expenditures of approximately $120 million to $150 million and total capitalized SaaS implementation costs of approximately $20 million to $25 million for the full year of 2024.

The Company implemented further actions related to its Restructuring Program, which was initiated during the first quarter of 2024 and designed to bring leadership closer to its markets, streamline the employee structure and accelerate productivity. The Restructuring Program is expected to deliver annual savings of at least $80 million beginning in 2025, with at least $50 million now expected to be achieved in 2024 (up from approximately $40 million). Based on actions through June 30, at least $10 million of savings were realized during the second quarter of 2024. The Company expects to incur total program pre-tax expenses of approximately $70 million (up from at least $60 million) related to the program, which are primarily related to severance costs and will be excluded from adjusted results. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, approximately $49 million and $66 million of pre-tax expenses were recognized in SG&A related to the restructuring. Substantially all actions related to the program have been completed as of June 30, with the remainder to be completed by the end of 2024.

As previously disclosed, the Company completed a $1.6 billion debt refinancing in April, which included $1.2 billion of senior secured debt and a $400 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the transactions were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, which were scheduled to mature in 2025, and redeem $300 million of the $600 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. In addition, the Company separately repurchased approximately $38 million of the 2025 Notes in a private transaction in April. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, a $10.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the transactions was recognized in other expense, net and is excluded from adjusted results.

In July, the Company completed the sale and a sixteen-month leaseback transaction of its office building in Torrance, California. The net proceeds from the sale transaction were approximately $38 million. The Company expects to recognize a gain of approximately $4 million related to the sale in SG&A in the third quarter of 2024, which will be excluded from adjusted results.

“We continue to make significant progress in our initiatives to enhance profitability,” said John DeSimone, Chief Financial Officer. “We remain focused on further expanding margins, creating shareholder value and reducing our total leverage ratio to 3.0x by the end of 2025.”

Over the past three months, approximately 83,300 attendees from around the world convened at Extravaganza training events in Thailand, Colombia, India and the U.S. The Asia Pacific region set a new attendance record in Bangkok with approximately 24,000 attendees present. India held its first-ever multi-city Extravaganza with events in both Bangalore and Delhi, collectively setting a new record with approximately 35,700 attendees.

For the second quarter of 2024, the number of new distributors joining Herbalife worldwide increased 12% year-over-year and 26% on a sequential basis, reversing 12 consecutive quarters of year-over-year declines. The Company believes events such as Extravaganzas, access to industry-leading entrepreneurial skills training, as well as the March 2024 launch of the all-new Herbalife Premier League training and recognition program, which is designed to encourage recruitment and activity from new distributors, are driving the positive momentum in new distributor recruiting.

“This is an exciting time at Herbalife and while we have work to do, there are many good things happening,” said Michael Johnson. “Our Adjusted EBITDA1 margins are up, we’ve reduced our total leverage ratio to 3.5x, distributor recruiting is up and distributors are engaged in building their businesses.”

Supplemental Information

SCHEDULE A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Agreement EBITDA

In addition to its reported results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has included in this release adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and credit agreement EBITDA, performance measures that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and credit agreement EBITDA exclude the impact of certain unusual or non-recurring items such as expenses related to restructuring initiatives, expenses related to the digital technology program, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and Korea tax settlement, as further detailed in the reconciliations below. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Credit agreement EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for certain items permitted under our senior secured credit facilities.

Management believes that such non-GAAP performance measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, can provide useful supplemental information for investors because they facilitate a period to period comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on reported results under U.S. GAAP, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance.

The Company’s definitions and calculations as set forth in the tables below of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and credit agreement EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate them in the same manner as the Company does and should not be viewed in isolation from, nor as alternatives to, net income or diluted EPS calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the comparable U.S. GAAP measure, because, due to the unpredictable or unknown nature of certain significant items, such as income tax expenses or benefits, loss contingencies, and any gains or losses in connection with refinancing transactions, we cannot reconcile this non-GAAP projection without unreasonable efforts. We expect the variability of these items, which are necessary for a presentation of the reconciliation, could have a significant impact on our reported U.S. GAAP financial results.

Currency Fluctuation

Our international operations have provided and will continue to provide a significant portion of our total net sales. As a result, total net sales will continue to be affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, in addition to comparing the percent change in net sales from one period to another in U.S. dollars, we also compare the percent change in net sales from one period to another period using “net sales in local currency.” Net sales in local currency is not a measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net sales in local currency removes from net sales in U.S. dollars the impact of changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries, by translating the current period net sales into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate the net sales for the previous comparable period. We believe presenting net sales in local currency is useful to investors because it allows a meaningful comparison of net sales of our foreign operations from period to period. However, net sales in local currency should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales in U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
