PROVO, Utah — Aug. 5, 2020 — Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS) today announced second-quarter results above expectations and raised its revenue and earnings per share guidance for 2020.

Executive Summary

Q2 2020 vs. Prior-Year Quarter

“Our business performed well above expectations in the second quarter of 2020 driven by our socially enabled business model, strategic investments in technology and manufacturing, and our balanced product portfolio,” said Ritch Wood, chief executive officer. “Strong global customer growth of 29 percent in the quarter, driven by our focus on empowering sales leaders to reach more customers, resulted in constant currency revenue growth due to the strength of our business in the Americas and Europe. Our Mainland China business continues to recover with slight sequential revenue improvement and strong customer growth.

“I am particularly proud of the way our global sales leaders have embraced socially enabled commerce, with more than 85 percent of revenue in the quarter coming through digital transactions. In addition, our manufacturing division generated 20 percent revenue growth and increased stability in our supply chain. In the first half, we generated strong cash from operations, raised our dividend, strengthened our balance sheet and reduced our outstanding shares by nearly eight percent.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Constant-currency revenue change is a non-GAAP financial measure that removes the impact of fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the company’s performance. It is calculated by translating the current period’s revenue at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period and then comparing that amount to the prior-year period’s revenue. The company believes that constant-currency revenue change is useful to investors, lenders and analysts because such information enables them to gauge the impact of foreign-currency fluctuations on the company’s revenue from period to period.
